The feeling of the scorching flames burning on his face quickly brought the fainting middle-aged man back to consciousness. He opened his eyes and saw that the lighter flame in Liu Chen's hand was about to burn his eyebrows, so he bounced up and instinctively pushed Liu Chen's hand away.

When he reacted, he saw this quiet and barren environment and the two strange men in front of him, his heart tightened, and he asked fearfully, "You guys...... What do you want to do?"

"You can still talk, that's great. Liu Chen stood up, looked condescendingly at the middle-aged man who was sitting, and asked, "Why do you want to kill people?"

"Kill...... Killing, killing whom? I don't understand what you're saying. The middle-aged man stroked his hair and replied with a blank expression.

Liu Chen gritted his teeth and stared at the middle-aged man silently for a few seconds, then suddenly raised a kick and kicked the middle-aged man's chest, the man fell to the ground instantly, and before he could cover his chest, Liu Chen stepped on it again, and the middle-aged man couldn't move.

Liu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense, and told him his mood with actions.

The middle-aged man struggled for a long time to no avail, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I'm just a homeless beggar, I really don't know what to kill ......"

Liu Chen's instinct told him that the beggar must know that something had not yet been said, and he continued to glare angrily at the beggar with a hideous face.

Seeing this, Wu Sheng on the side continued like this, and if this continued, this thin beggar was about to be stepped on by Liu Chen and had internal injuries, so he stepped forward to stop: "Brother Liu, maybe he is really just a beggar, not a murderer, I see that his weak appearance of powerless chickens does not look like he can kill." ”

Liu Chen showed an evil smile, "You can't kill people, do you, do you want me to demonstrate it to you?" He threw the lighter in his hand back to Wu Sheng, and took out a flying knife from behind him, the sharp blade reflected a cold white light, flashing in front of the beggar's eyes.

Liu Chen's knife slowly fell, and he said, "I'll give you one last chance." ”

"What do you want me to say, I really didn't kill anyone, I didn't even dare to kill a chicken. The beggar was a little agitated, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were flustered.

Liu Chen felt a trace of despair from the beggar's pleading expression, and he really didn't look like a person who could kill, because his eyes didn't have the ruthlessness and coldness of an outlaw.

After thinking for a while, Liu Chen changed his tone and asked, "How long have you been living in that parking lot?"

After Liu Chen's attitude eased, the beggar was not so resistant, and he replied, "I have been living for about a month. ”

"Do you stay there every night?"

"Yes, it's quiet, it's safe, and there's no chengguan to rush it. ”

After Liu Chen determined the beggar's fixed accommodation, he began his purpose: "Then let me ask you, were you here from 21 o'clock to 22 o'clock last night?"

The beggar nodded, "Yes." ”

"Have you seen anyone else come here? ”

The beggar blinked and remembered for a moment, muttering, "......Others? As if I heard...... Yes, someone has come, I am sure, at that time I thought it was the chengguan coming, but when I opened my eyes, it was a private car, not the chengguan, because I was afraid of being seen, so I didn't make a sound, and continued to sleep there, but in fact, I didn't fall asleep, I kept listening to the movement outside. ”

The beggar was very sure that someone had come to the parking lot last night, which indicated that he was very likely to know the truth, and Liu Chen asked excitedly, "Did you hear what they said?"

After the beggar relaxed his emotions, his thoughts became clearer, and he said after a little recollection: "There seem to be two men, one of the men said that the person brought it, I hope that Mr. Hu can keep his promise and let me and my girlfriend go, and then another man's voice sounded, he said, Mr. Hu will definitely do what he says." ”

Liu Chen guessed that the man in front of him must be Manager Cao, it seems that he and his girlfriend have not broken up yet, and the other man is the person sent by Hu Bingcheng to connect, and it is very likely that he is the murderer of Manager Cao.

"Did you hear anything else?" Liu Chen continued.

"No, I heard it when I was woken up by them, and it only took a few minutes before they left. ”

Although Liu Chen had guessed the information provided by this beggar before, he was now more sure of his judgment and thinking, the death of Manager Cao and his girlfriend must have been done by Hu Bingcheng, and it was very likely that Manager Cao knew about the kidnapping case and killed people in order to avoid the East Window incident.

And the murderer said, "Mr. Hu will definitely do what he says", this sentence shows that it is already a planned thing to kill Manager Cao, but poor Manager Cao naively thinks that Hu Bingcheng will let them go.

The most innocent victim of this is Manager Cao's girlfriend Xiao Zhu, why did Hu Bingcheng even kill her together, does she also know what secrets of Hu Bingcheng? And the relationship between her and Manager Cao, it seems that their relationship is very good, but why does Manager Cao say that they broke up? These questions can only be understood through the investigation of Xiao Zhu.

Liu Chen suddenly stretched out his hand to personally pull the beggar up, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now." ”

Liu Chen rarely took the initiative to admit his mistake and express his apologies to the beggar, Wu Sheng felt both glad for the inexplicable beggar who was beaten, and admired Liu Chen's broad-mindedness.

The beggar was stunned for a few seconds for Liu Chen's overture, and then he also stretched out his hand, and Liu Chen pulled him up.

"It's okay, I didn't explain it myself. The beggar accepted and understood Liu Chen's apology.

Since everything was a misunderstanding, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Liu Chen and Wu Sheng took the beggar back, and wanted to take it to the abandoned parking lot, but they were afraid that they would be discovered by the police there, so they drove towards the city.

Liu Chen explained to the beggar: "You are a key witness, we are afraid that you will be targeted by the real murderer, out of the need for protection, we will transfer you first, and in the future, you don't need to live in that kind of house anymore." ”

The beggar was excited in his heart, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you......"

"By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"Oh, hehe, my name is Zhang Haiyang. ”

"My name is Liu Chen. ”

"My name is Wu Sheng. ”

On the police side, they investigated the abandoned parking lot all the way, Yuejun Chinese Restaurant all the way, and investigated another person named Zhou Zuo on Manager Cao's phone. Nothing was found in the abandoned parking lot, and Yuejun Chinese Restaurant did find a drug containing scopolamine, and they pinned more hopes on this man named Zhou Zuo.

The provincial police quickly found Zhou Zuo through the Internet, but through the address on the identity, they did not find Zhou Zuo, and later learned that Zhou Zuo's family had moved to Tongyu Village next door through the advice of neighbors.

The police believed that Zhou Zuo was the key figure in this homicide case, and attached great importance to it, and sent two small teams of people to Tongyu Village to find it, and contacted the police of the Tongyu Village Police Station for assistance.

Tongyu Village is not a big village, there is no local police station, but the town police station is under the jurisdiction of the police station, and the police of the police station took the lead in going to Tongyu Village to squat and find the way to understand the situation for the police in the provincial capital.

The provincial police did not dare to slack off, they also rushed to Tongyu Village half an hour after the arrival of the police at the police station, and exchanged various action plans after the rendezvous.

Although Zhou Zuo is only a suspect, the battle sent by the police seems to be as if Zhou Zuo is the real murderer, and all nerves are tense, vowing to win the arrest in one fell swoop.

Although the operation was in the afternoon, it still had to wait for three or four hours, and at the same time, it was not possible to startle the snake, and it had been lying in ambush a kilometer away from Zhou Zuo's surroundings, and someone was watching at the entrance of the village, and once Zhou Zuo came back from work, he would send a signal.

Finally, at half past 17 in the afternoon, a signal came from the sentry at the entrance of the village and found that Zhou Zuo was riding an electric car towards the village. The entire police team immediately became vigilant and began to prepare for the arrest of Zhou Zuo.

Zhou Zuo was wearing a hat, humming a little tune, and his expression was happy, it seemed that today's work was going well.

The eyes of all the policemen in ambush all followed Zhou Zuo's figure and moved slowly, until Zhou Zuo came to his door, the car turned off, and he shouted his wife's name.

Before his wife could respond, the police who were lying in ambush suddenly rushed into the yard, and several strong policemen stepped forward to control Zhou Zuo's backhand and press him to the ground.

"What are you doing? What are you going to do???" Zhou Zuo was startled by this sudden scene, and asked loudly in surprise, and kept struggling, his face covered with dust.

Zhou Zuo's wife heard the sound and saw her husband being pressed to the ground by a group of policemen, shocked and anxious, she hurriedly stepped forward and tried to tear off the two policemen who were pressing on her husband, but how could a weak woman pull the strong policeman, she asked while pulling: "What are you doing? Why are you arresting my husband?"

Another policeman who looked like a leader came over and pulled Zhou Zuo's wife aside and explained to her: "Hello, your husband is suspected of a homicide, and we need to bring him back." As he spoke, he pulled out an arrest warrant from his pocket.

"My husband killed ???" Zhou Zuo's wife exclaimed, turned her head to look at her husband, and then turned back to explain to the police: "My husband is an honest person, it is impossible to kill people, you must have arrested the wrong person, you must have arrested the wrong person." ”

Zhou Zuo also defended with a mouth that was pressed and twisted: "I didn't kill anyone...... I...... I didn't...... No killing......"

The leading policeman looked down at Zhou Zuo and said, "Did you kill anyone, go to the bureau to explain for yourself, according to our investigation, you have the greatest suspicion." ”
