"Brother Li, why do you say that other people's canteens have everything, it's like opening a restaurant, but the food in our special management bureau canteen comes and goes, not to mention these few things, and it's still unpalatable. Xiao Qiang complained to Li Ye on his lips, and at the same time picked up a green vegetable that was completely inedible and bit it hard.

"Qiangzi, speak quietly!" Li also knocked on the table and squeezed his eyes at Xiao Qiang, as if he wanted to hint at Xiao Qiang.

"What's the matter! I don't want to talk about the unpleasant cooking! I think I should fry all the cooking in the cafeteria. But Xiao Qiang didn't understand Li Ye's meaning at all, but was even more dissatisfied.

However, as soon as Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he felt a little cold at the vest, Xiao Qiang turned sideways slightly, and looked back with the corner of his eye, and saw several canteen uncles and aunts who were originally sitting not far away chatting, and they were looking at him in unison at the moment.

Feeling the murderous aura in the eyes of the uncles and aunts, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but shudder, he turned around stiffly, lowered his head and gulped up the rice in the bowl, saying that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

When dinner was almost over, Li Ye put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said to Xiao Qiang with a solemn expression: "Qiangzi, you start, first tell me what you found today!"

"Okay!"

After eating and drinking, Xiao Qiang's spirit really came, he wiped his mouth and shouted, and began to tell the results of his investigation today.

"I went to contact the Transportation Bureau today, and the Transportation Bureau told me that there was no surveillance installed around Earl Edward's castle or on the hill where Carl and the others went that night, so unless we continue to expand the scope, we will not be able to find the culprit through the surveillance, or verify whether Carl and the others are lying on their timeline. ”

"Expand the range, there is no need for this, the forest where Count Edward's castle is located is so large, even if there is surveillance on the periphery of the forest, as long as the murderer is a little cautious, it will be difficult to be photographed by the surveillance. I'm just trying my luck when I asked you to check it. As for the timeline, I'd like to know what happened to the taxi driver Dick was talking about. Li also shook his head and asked.

I searched all the cars that passed by the castle that night through the GPS system, and finally found that only one of them was a taxi, and this taxi belonged to Johnson & Johnson, so I called Johnson & Johnson and asked them to help me find the taxi driver who was driving. But the answer I got was that the taxi driver hadn't been to work for two days, and his phone was turned off, so the company couldn't contact him. Later, although Johnson & Johnson gave me the driver's home address, I asked my colleagues from the Operations Division to go to his house to look for him, but in the end I found that he was not at home either. ”

"The phone is off!Not at home yet!" Li also tapped the table with his knuckles, and the results of Xiao Qiang's investigation made him fall into deep thought.

Assuming that the driver Xiao Qiang found was the one who sent Dick back to the castle, then he disappeared at this time, which seemed quite suspicious.

Dick had lied, but the taxi he had taken that night had not broken at all, and that he had returned to the castle earlier than he had said.

But why did Dick lie, could he be the murderer of Earl Edward, and he lied to help him create an alibi.

If that was the case, the driver would be in danger, and if Dick wanted to hide his whereabouts that night, he had to make sure that the driver did not betray him, and that no one knew how to keep a secret better than a dead man.

Thinking of this, Li Ye felt a pang in his heart, and immediately said to Xiao Qiang: "Qiangzi is like this, you continue to investigate the driver tomorrow, and you must find him out for me." ”

"No problem, wrap it up on me. ”

After receiving Xiao Qiang's assurance of patting his chest, Li Ye turned his gaze to Ye Mengying, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

"Dream Shadow, how is your visit today?"

Ye Mengying, who had been listening silently from the sidelines, saw that Li Ye finally asked herself, her spirit immediately lifted, and she nodded and said, "Okay, team leader." ”

"The first suspect I visited today was a sorcerer named Anadan. ”

"Wait Xiao Ye, why is the name Anadan so weird? Is it a foreigner? Which country?" As soon as Ye Mengying spoke, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but interject on the side.

"Anadan is not a foreigner, she is a Hmong. About half a year ago, when Count Edward was talking to her about a business, there was an unpleasant incident, so the team leader listed her as the subject of investigation. Ye Mengying explained.

"Then how do you feel about coming into contact with this Anadan?" Li also asked.

"Why, maybe this Anadan is a witch master, so she speaks and acts with a wicked spirit, but other than that, I haven't found anything wrong with her. And on the night of the crime, Anadan happened to take over a business and remove Gu poison for a wealthy businessman in the city center, so her alibi was very sufficient. ”

"Okay, and what's your next visitor?"

"The second one I went to find was the soothsayer Zhuge Xuan, this Zhuge Xuan is really powerful, he actually knew in advance that I would go to him, and he was waiting for me at the door very early. When Ye Mengying said this, there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

Ye Mengying had always felt that things like divination and fortune-telling were purely deceptive tricks, but today's series of Zhuge Xuan's behaviors and words really completely refreshed her cognition.

For example, when she first met Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Xuan directly called her Officer Ye, but Ye Mengying was very sure that she had never seen this person named Zhuge Xuan in the past.

Later, before Ye Mengying was about to leave, Zhuge Xuan said another very inexplicable sentence, "Let her pay attention to the top of her head."

At that time, Ye Mengying didn't understand what Zhuge Xuan meant, but when Ye Mengying was walking on the street, a sudden gust of wind struck, blowing down the flower pots on the balcony of a house along the street.

"Why were you scared by this Zhuge Xuan?" Li Ye saw the unbelievable expression on Ye Mengying's face, and couldn't help but ask with a faint smile.

"No!" Ye Mengying denied it quickly, but she felt that she was answering so quickly and giving people a very empty feeling, so she wanted to change the topic, so she asked Li Yedao: "Team leader, do you know this Zhuge Xuan?"

"I have dealt with him several times in the past because of a case. Li also nodded.

"What do you think of this Zhuge Xuan, team leader, can he really predict the future through divination?" Ye Mengying looked at Li Ye expectantly and asked, because she really wanted to know how Zhuge Xuan managed to predict the future in advance.

"What do you say? I can only say that he is a bit of a doorman!" replied after a moment's thought.

"No, team leader! I've also met that Zhuge Xuan, he's really powerful! You won't deliberately belittle him because you're jealous of his ability!" As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Xiao Qiang, who was on the side, raised an objection, he felt that Li Ye didn't know Zhuge Xuan at all.

Li didn't care about the cynicism in Xiao Qiang's words, but asked strangely: "Qiangzi, when did you meet Zhuge Xuan? I remember when I went to look for Zhuge Xuan, you didn't follow!"

"This ......" Xiao Qiang looked embarrassed, and he found that he seemed to have slipped his mouth.

But then Xiao Qiang thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he spread his hands and said with an indifferent look: "Actually, it's nothing, that is, I didn't want to find a girlfriend at that time! But I couldn't find anything suitable around me! It just so happened that you came back from Zhuge Xuan that time and said that this person had something, so I went to him to help me calculate a hexagram." And then he told me that there was a bar on the right turn, and that when I went there at twelve o'clock in the evening, I would find my true daughter. Originally, I thought it was a bit mysterious, and I didn't believe it. But you guess it, he really got it right, and I talked to the team leader of Xiaoyu for a while, you know! ”

When Xiao Qiang finished telling Zhuge Xuan's "glorious deeds", Li Ye saw Ye Mengying's expression on the side at this time, and almost wrote the word worship on his face, and couldn't help laughing, saying that a little girl is a little girl.

"Team leader, don't you believe what I said?" Xiao Qiang, who was sitting opposite Li Ye, couldn't help but shout dissatisfiedly when he saw the disapproving look on Li Ye's face.

"No, I believe what you said is true! But do you really think Zhuge Xuan can predict the future?" Li also asked the two with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Ye Mengying immediately asked in a somewhat impulsive tone, Ye Mengying didn't realize that after listening to Xiao Qiang's experience, she already had a tendency to become Zhuge Xuan's little fan sister.

Of course not, it's just a reasoning. Li also shook his head and said.

"Reasoning, team leader, you're just talking about it! Can this Zhuge Xuan still reason where I am and when I can find a girlfriend?" Xiao Qiang scoffed at Li Ye's statement.

"Why not?" The smile on Li Ye's face became more and more obvious, and then he explained to Ye Mengying and Xiao Qiang: "Take Zhuge Xuan's help Qiangzi find a girlfriend, why do you think you can't find a girlfriend?"

"Why?"

"It's not because you're too lazy, you either stay at home or stay in the office all day long, and hell you can find a girlfriend. And what do you say that you can't find a suitable one around, just like you are sloppy all day long, tell me! Which little girl in our bureau can take a fancy to you?"

Xiao Qiang, who Li Ye said in these two sentences, was red-faced, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only obediently continue to listen to Li Ye.

"Zhuge Xuan also saw that you were an otaku, so he asked you to go to the bar. You think that after listening to Zhuge Xuan's words that day, whether you really believe it or not, you will not be as sloppy as usual. And for a self-acquaintance like you, as long as you can still look good, isn't it normal for you to happen to hook up with one or two in a place like a bar where there are many beautiful girls?

"Team leader, what is hookup, that's called love at first sight! Love! Two lovers!" Although Xiao Qiang felt that what Li Ye said seemed reasonable, he was very dissatisfied with Li Ye's use of the word hookup.

"Team leader, but in case Qiangzi didn't hook up that day...... I haven't found a girlfriend, what should Zhuge Xuan do?" Because Li Ye and Xiao Qiang have been talking about hooking up and hooking up, Ye Mengying also said it smoothly, but as soon as she said the word hookup, she felt that something was wrong, and her face turned red and she quickly changed her words.

"It's very simple, why do you think Zhuge Xuan let Qiangzi go to the bar at twelve o'clock! Because there are always a few girls who are still in the bar at that time with the idea of looking for an affair. So even if Hadron can't find a girlfriend, he will have a one-night stand or something. If that's the case, even if Zhuge Xuan doesn't say it accurately, do you think that the strong son who has already enjoyed the good fortune will still go to him to theorize? Take another 10,000 steps back and say, even if the strong son doesn't even meet the sexual encounter, but as long as the strong son is accosted with a girl or has been accosted, Zhuge Xuan can also use the argument that you met the right person, but you missed it to deal with the strong son!" Li also replied.

"Team leader, but today I went to find Zhuge Xuan, and he was already waiting for me at the door in advance. And when I left, he asked me to be careful on the top of my head, but when I was walking on the road, I was really almost hit by a flower pot, what do you say?" This morning's personal experience still made Ye Mengying feel that maybe Li Ye was reasonable, but it didn't mean that Zhuge Xuan's divination was really relying on Meng, so he asked again.

"I'm waiting for you in advance, that's because I called Zhuge Xuan!" Li Ye replied with a smile.

"Ahh Ye Mengying suddenly realized.

"As for how you almost got hit by a flower pot, I have to think about it. Li also lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, squinted his eyes, and his brain began to spin rapidly.

After a while, a fine light flashed in Li Ye's eyes, and then he said confidently: "Yesterday's weather forecast reported that there was a strong wind this morning, and if I remember correctly, Zhuge Xuan's house is near some old-fashioned communities, like this kind of people who live in old-fashioned communities generally like to plant some flowers and plants on the balcony, but their awareness of typhoon prevention is generally weak, and it is easy to fall from high altitudes on windy days, so I think Zhuge Xuan may be kind enough to remind you, but it's just a little tricky." ”

"Is that so?" Ye Mengying was gradually persuaded by Li Ye's careful analysis, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Team leader, then according to what you mean, this Zhuge Xuan is a liar! Fortunately, you exposed his true face today, otherwise I would have wanted to go to him again in two days to help me calculate. After Li Ye's explanation, Xiao Qiang looked disdainful of Zhuge Xuan, completely forgetting that he had also scolded Li Ye for Zhuge Xuan just now.

"It's not like a liar, he's still a little really learned, but not in divination......!

Li Ye was just about to continue, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, they were obviously holding a case discussion and analysis meeting, but now how can they talk about the topic more and more crooked, if they continue to talk like this, I'm afraid I don't want to get off work today.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Mengying, you still have to tell me if there is anything wrong with Zhuge Xuan. Li Ye, who has always been obsessed with getting off work, quickly pulled the topic back at the moment.

"That's not true, Zhuge Xuan's alibi is very clear, and his motive for killing is not sufficient, so there should be no problem. ”

Ye Mengying's answer was expected by Li Ye, so Li Ye said again: "The last person you visited should be Bishop Paul!

"Bishop Paul, like Anadan Zhuge Xuan, has nothing suspicious about himself, but Bishop Paul told me something, he said that Count Edward not only had many enemies outside, but also that he did not have a good relationship with the rest of the castle. ”

"Oh, did Bishop Paul say exactly who had a bad relationship with Count Edward, and why? Li also asked with interest.

I asked about this, but Bishop Paul didn't answer, but told me a lot of reasoning. What did God warn the world not to chew their tongues indiscriminately, otherwise they would be punished, or something like that? ”

"Brother Li, isn't this Bishop Paul! He said it all, what's the difference between saying a little more and saying less? I think he is just afraid of offending people! It's just cowardice!" As soon as Ye Mengying finished speaking, Xiao Qiang on the side couldn't help it, and he unceremoniously ridiculed Bishop Paul.

"Okay Qiangzi, don't say a word, but don't blame me for not reminding you, this Bishop Paul of the Holy See is notoriously cautious, and if he knows that you are talking nonsense here, you will not have good fruit to eat. Li also warned Xiao Qiangdao.

"Team leader, as long as you don't say it, and Dream Shadow doesn't say it, how will that Bishop Paul know what I said. Xiao Qiang snorted disdainfully, what he hated most was someone like Bishop Paul who deliberately hung people's appetites by saying half of his words.

Ye Mengying and Xiao Qiang both finished talking about the results of their investigation today, and then it was naturally Li Ye's turn.

However, because there were not many discoveries in the investigation, Li only briefly summarized it in a few sentences.

Li also focused on visiting a total of two people today, in addition to Mutu, there is also Qian Sanyi of the Qing Gang.

As for Mutu, Li Ye's temporary view is that there is still a need for in-depth investigation, and as for Qian Sanyi, Li Ye believes that his suspicion can basically be ruled out.

Because the recent battle between the Green Gang and another gang society has reached a white-hot stage, it is unlikely that Qian Sanyi, as the boss of the Green Gang, will kill Count Edward at this critical juncture, which will make another strong enemy for nothing, thus putting the Green Gang in a very dangerous situation.
