Chapter 16: The Puppet (1)
Do you like puppets? Like Pyrocchio, a puppet with a lying nose that grows longer.
"Alas......" Wei Zhifan looked at the ballet doll with only one leg left on the table, and sighed heavily, "Why is this happening? ”
Lin Mu looked at Wei Zhifan's gloomy face, and couldn't bear to say, "Buy another one." ”
Wei Zhifan looked at the music box and shook his head, "No, I can't buy this for any amount of money, it was given to me by my father." ”
"Why don't I carve you a wooden ballerina?"
Wei Zhifan turned his head excitedly when he heard this, "You still carve wood, why haven't I heard you say it?"
"My dad is a carpenter, I learned from him when I was a child, although the skills are not good, but it is okay. ”
"Okay, give it to me as a birthday gift, okay?" Wei Zhifan looked at Lin Mu with glowing eyes, Lin Mu was embarrassed, and promised, "Okay." ”
Lin Mu thought for a while, and added, "I want to carve a you, and I can leave it to our children in the future." ”
Wei Zhifan's face turned red when he heard what he said, and he lowered his head and played with the music box, "Who will have a child with you." ”
Lin Mu looked at her shy appearance, and couldn't help but fantasize about the future, if he could, give birth to a son and a daughter, and play around in this house together. Should...... I'm so happy!
In a building on South Street, a group of police officers came in and out. Lin Mu looked at the man with a knife on the sofa, and turned sideways to the part-time worker next to him and said, "Does he live alone?"
The part-time worker nodded and said, "yes, but ...... He often brought women back for the night. As he was talking, Zhen Zheng walked in from outside the door, and as soon as he saw the man, he said, "Oh! this is quite passionate!"
A man lying flat on a white couch with a knife in his chest, the only peculiar thing is that his genitals have been cut off.
Zhen Zheng looked at it and muttered, "This should be drinking too much flower wine, and summoning a woman to retaliate, tsk, tsk, ruthless!"
Lin Mu ignored his self-talk and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"I said Lin Mu, can't you ask me a different line? Zhen Zheng said dissatisfied.
"What should I ask, and do I want to discuss his love history with you?"
Zhen Zheng gave Lin Mu a roll of the eyes, and then began his serious elaboration, "The cause of the deceased's death should be the knife on his chest, as for his genitals, they should have been cut off after his death, you see, there are no traces of blood splashing here and the wound is white," Zhen Zheng pointed to the underside of the man, and then got up and pointed to his heart, "There is blood splattering here, and the wound is turned out." I'll have to take the rest back and examine it carefully. ”
Lin Mu nodded and looked at Liang Xin, who was surveying the footprints, Liang Xin raised his hand and said, "Don't ask, I'll tell you." Because this part-time worker aunt was too flustered and found too many people to watch, there were too many footprints, and it was dense from here to there, and it took a little time to investigate, and so did the fingerprints. ”
"Team Lin, I found out, this man's name is Long Fei, the owner of a café, and someone saw that a female clerk in the café came to his house yesterday. ”
"Go check it out. ”
Lin Mu looked at the good-looking female clerk in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"
"Shi Wei. The female clerk sat up straight, and some fine beads of sweat were pouring from the tip of her nose.
"You don't have to be nervous, we're just here to ask about the situation, I heard that you went to your boss's house yesterday?"
"Well, the coffee in the store is almost out of coffee, and he asked me to go over and get the ground coffee. Shi Wei replied cautiously.
Lin Mu took a sip of the coffee in front of him, well, not pure.
"How long have you been working here?"
Shi Wei thought for a while and said, "It's been two or three years. Not very clear. ”
"Is the boss good to you?" Lin Mu put down the coffee cup and looked up at Shi Wei.
Shi Wei was visibly short of breath, swallowed her saliva and replied, "It's okay, it's not bad." ”
"Did he do anything bad to you?"
"No, what can be done. Shi Wei turned her head away, picked up the water glass and took a sip.
"Well, your boss is dead, where are you going to work?" Lin Mu changed the subject.
"You can do anything, as long as you can work well and make money. Shi Wei seemed to be eager to get out of here.
"I hope you can get a good job, and I will come to you if necessary. After Lin Mu finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but an old man ran in in a panic and almost collided with Lin Mu.
"Be careful, old man. Lin Mu helped the old man, and the old man raised his head to look at Lin Mu, his eyes full of horror.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'll buy a glass of water to drink. The old man hurriedly pulled Lin Mu's hand away and walked towards the café order.
"It's rare to see an old man go to a café to buy water to drink...... Lin Mu squinted his eyes and thought, "especially an old man dressed as a porter......"
The cause of Long Fei's death was extremely simple, he was killed by someone inserting a knife into his chest, and the damage there naturally first came to mind from the woman Long Fei had come into contact with.
"I just spent the night with him, what feelings do I have. The seductively dressed woman sat on a bar chair, lit a cigarette, puffed out the smoke and said, "We work here, and men like him have seen a lot, just give money, and talk about feelings." The woman covered her mouth and smiled exaggeratedly.
"Where were you from nine to ten o'clock last night?" Lin Mu shouted as he looked at the noisy environment around him.
"Officer, be quiet, what should you do if you frighten people?" the woman said and wanted to touch Lin Mu's chest with her hand, Lin Mu avoided it in disgust, the woman was bored with herself, took a puff of cigarette and continued, "Accompany the wine here, and anyone who asks will know." ”
Out of the bar, breathing in the relatively fresh air outside, Lin Mu finally sobered up a little, it seems that there is no problem with this woman, Lin Mu thought to himself.
Unconsciously, Lin Mu walked to Long Fei's café again, looking at the busy female clerk inside, Lin Mu felt that he should talk to her again.
"Haven't left yet?" asked Lin Mu as he stepped through the door.
"It's not so easy to find a job, and I have to finish a month of work for a month's salary. ”
"Your boss is dead, why is the café still operating?" Lin Mu asked, wondering in his heart.
"This café is not just opened by him, it is opened by him and another woman. ”
"Oh, I see, who is that woman?"
"Over there. Shi Wei pointed to the flower shop opposite, then turned around and went into the back room to continue busy with a bag of ground coffee.
"Welcome, sir, buy some flowers. The flower shop lady came over with a smile.
"Don't buy flowers, police," Lin Mu took out his police ID card and continued, "What do you have to do with Long Fei, the owner of the café opposite?"
When the proprietress heard Long Fei's name, her face immediately changed, and she said angrily, "Partner, I have nothing to do with him, if you insist on asking, I can only say that I was young and ignorant and was cheated of money and sex, but fortunately, God has the eyes to accept him." The more the proprietress spoke, the more angry she became, and slammed the flower she was packing on the table.
"So, do you know how he died?"
"I heard about it, I must have provoked a woman who is not easy to mess with, and she deserves it. Looking at the proprietress, Lin Mu seemed to understand why Long Fei was killed by others, because he had too many peach blossom debts.
Lin Mu turned to look at the coffee shop over there, Shi Wei saw Lin Mu turn around and immediately walked in to wipe the table, looking very busy, but unfortunately there was no one in the shop.
