Chapter 91: Thinking Too Much

Chen Mengran looked for prestige and saw that it was an old man in his seventies.

When the old man had finished shouting this, he pushed through the crowd and walked to the cordon.

"You said you have a clue?" Xue Guozheng walked in front of the old man.

The old man nodded and said, "My name is Sun Zhengcai, and I am seventy-six this year. Too old, bad stomach, often constipated. At one o'clock last night, I was constipated again, and I squatted on the toilet for half an hour. I vaguely heard someone outside me shouting a word. ”

"What?"

"I'm deaf, and I don't know if I hear or not. ”

"Just say it. ”

"It was a man who spoke, and he said, if you run away, I'll kill that guy on the fourth floor. The old man said word for word.

"What else did he say?"

The old man shook his head.

"Fourth floor. Xue Guozheng took a look at the community, although this community is old, the area is not small. There are always more than a dozen buildings, each with three units, and each floor has three buildings, which makes him look for clues.

The old man's words were heard by everyone present, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone began to talk about it.

"My family lives on the fourth floor, so they're not going to kill me. A middle-aged woman said.

A middle-aged man next to him angrily reprimanded: "What nonsense is the New Year, we have no enemy, and we don't know that person, who will kill us." ”

The two of them are obviously two people.

"So do we. ”

"Yes, I also live on the fourth floor, what should I do. ”

The inferiority of the collective panic of the Chinese people is perfectly interpreted at this moment.

Chen Mengran frowned, when he came out last night, the two were fighting fiercely, so he didn't hear that sentence. But now hearing the old man say this, Chen Mengran has a bad premonition.

On the fourth floor, Li Xinger also lives on the fourth floor, will it have anything to do with her.

Thinking of the floor that the strange man looked at last night, it was exactly Li Xing'er's downstairs, if it was the fourth floor, wouldn't it be facing Li Xing'er's home.

Chen Mengran was taken aback by his idea, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this speculation was correct, and he felt that he needed to remind Li Xing'er.

looked up for Li Xing'er and found that there was no shadow of her at all, and it seemed that she had gone back.

"Is there any clue provided?" Xue Guozheng was not satisfied with the old man's clue, and continued to shout with a loudspeaker.

After shouting three times in a row, seeing that everyone was not echoing, he was about to give up, but he found that the person on the left had a hesitant face, as if he was struggling with something.

Xue Guozheng walked towards the man and asked, "Do you have any clues?"

That person was Chen Mengran, and Chen Mengran was a little flustered in the face of the questioning of a public servant with such a big title.

"Don't be afraid, young man, if you have any clues, provide them to us, and if they can help us solve the case, the government will reward them. Seeing that Chen Mengran had never seen much of the world, Xue Guozheng squeezed out a kind smile.

"I, I seem to have heard what Uncle said just now. Chen Mengran lied.

In the end, he still didn't say what he saw with his own eyes last night. It's not that I don't feel like there are no clues, but as I think too much, I have deeper scruples.

After witnessing the battle of that Hollywood action blockbuster, Chen Mengran became jealous of that person. Especially the dart that shot at him at the end, which made Chen Mengran feel fear from the depths of his soul.

In the face of this superhuman-like being, Chen Mengran felt like an ant, if the other party was willing, he could pinch himself to death at any time. In this case, naturally you can't provoke it, so you should not see anything.

"Nothing else?" As an old policeman, Xue Guozheng keenly noticed that Chen Mengran was not right, and he seemed to be hiding something.

"Nope. Chen Mengran shook his head.

After taking a deep look at Chen Mengran, Xue Guozheng no longer paid attention to him.

Chen Mengran also took the opportunity to go back upstairs.

"Send someone to visit the fourth floor of the community and ask the residents if they have offended anyone. Draw a portrait of the deceased's face and see if anyone knows him. And those fingerprints and blood, there are results to notify me. Xue Guozheng instructed the young policeman.

The young policeman nodded and gave the order.

Xue Guozheng pinched his forehead, such a strict bloody case happened on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which made him very depressed. What bothers him even more is that this is by no means an ordinary homicide. Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, you may have encountered the legendary "martial arts master".

has been on duty in the police station for nearly 30 years, and Xue Guozheng still has some knowledge of these "masters". I remember that when he just graduated from the police academy and worked, he encountered a similar murder.

As a result of that incident, the police who investigated the murder injured more than a dozen people, and this was still the murderer's mercy, in order to kill chickens and monkeys and deliberately not hurt their lives. Under pressure, the police station suppressed the murder and did not do so. This is a big blow to Xue Guozheng, who regards the police as an honor. It also made him realize for the first time that there are times when the police are powerless.

After Chen Mengran returned to the bedroom, he kept lying on the bed.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is the time to greet relatives and friends, but such a thing happened, which made the whole family lose the joy of the past.

When I walked to the window, I found that the police had left after taking evidence and taking pictures, and those onlookers had disappeared. The blood on the ground was quickly wiped clean, but the scene of the murder was empty, and even if someone walked by, they took a detour, for fear of getting bad luck.

Chen Mengran looked at the place where the strange man stood last night, with thought in his eyes.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Xing'er had something to do with this murder case, he couldn't watch Li Xing'er have an accident, although the two didn't have much to do with each other, but they knew each other after all.

Chen Mengran came to the kitchen and saw Chen's mother stewing pork ribs, and said, "Mom, when the ribs are stewed, give them to me, and I'll send some to Li Xing'er." ”

"Okay. Chen Mule replied.

After the ribs were stewed, Chen's mother slowly filled a large bottle, and Chen Mengran knocked on Li Xing'er's door.

This time the door was quickly opened.

Entering the door and putting out the ribs in the thermos, Chen Mengran began to chat with Li Xing'er again.

He began to touch on today's murders, intentionally or unintentionally.

"When you sent the death case downstairs last night, did you feel anything?"

Li Xing'er shook her head: "No, I went to bed very early last night." ”

"Do you know the deceased?"

"I don't know. ”

"Have you offended anything lately?"

"Of course not, why do you ask?"

"I just care about you. Chen Mengran sneered, and then, with a straight face, said: "Last night, someone heard someone downstairs shouting, if you escape, I will kill the person on the fourth floor." You also live on the fourth floor, aren't you worried that it will be you?"

"I haven't offended anyone, so there's nothing to worry about. Li Xing'er glanced at Chen Mengran. She couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw that the other party was worried because of such an inexplicable sentence. There is also some warmth in my heart.

Chen Mengran hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I saw the deceased last night. ”

"Oh?" said Li Xing'er with a listening expression.

Chen Mengran took a deep breath and told the story of meeting the deceased when she was delivering dumplings last night and seeing the deceased standing downstairs in the window.

Of course, he didn't say that when the murder happened, he was watching the battle from the sidelines.

"Why don't you say these things to the police?" said Li Xing'er.

"I didn't think it was valuable, so I didn't say it. Chen Mengran lied. Diverted the topic again and asked, "He is standing downstairs from you and sees that it is also your floor, will he know you?"

Li Xing'er thought for a while, and finally shook her head: "I am an orphan and have no relatives. I don't have any male friends either, so it's impossible to know each other, and you think too much. ”

Li Xing'er said so, Chen Mengran also thought too much about herself, and the worry in her heart also fell to the ground.

"I hope I'm thinking too much. ”

After chatting with Li Xing'er for a few more words, Chen Mengran said goodbye and left.
