Chapter XVIII: Testimony of the Five

Suddenly, Chadpola gets into the black car and calls for McCass, a black African, and two of his men to get in the car and look elsewhere.

I watched the little black car drive off into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief, "We were rescued!"

"It was really dangerous just now!" Xu Lixue cried with red eyes, "In case Chadbora walks to the trunk of the tree, he will definitely find the two of us, and this time he may shoot directly." ”

The ancients said: If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future. I reached out and patted Xu Lixue's shoulder and comforted softly.

At this time, a crimson taxi came quickly from the opposite side......

"Could this be Chadbora's car again?" asked Xu Lixue worriedly.

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

I looked up and took a closer look: there was only one driver in the taxi.

I let go of my scruples.

"This car shouldn't be Chad Bora. I waved for the taxi driver to stop, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible to prevent Chadbora from turning back." ”

The crimson taxi stopped in front of Xu Lixue and me......

I pulled the car door with my hand, "Get in the car." ”

Xu Lixue bent down and got into the car, "Where are we going now?"

"We went to Officer Charlie to explain the situation. "I sat in the taxi seat.

With my right hand, I took out a slip of paper with the address from my pocket and handed it to the taxi driver, telling him where to go.

An hour and a half later, the taxi driver stopped the car and told us that we had arrived at our destination.

After Xu Lixue and I got out of the car, we couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

I reached out and looked at my watch, and it was 8:15 p.m.

The street is lined with two-story residential buildings and two rows of neat green plants.

At this time, the moon and stars could not be seen in the night sky, and it was pitch black all around, and the black clouds were overwhelming the city and wanted to destroy it, filling the air with a terrifying atmosphere. Pedestrians on the street rushed to their homes, and residents on the second floor hurriedly closed their windows. The wind swept away the fallen leaves, whirring - whirring, the sound of phoenixes and leaves was mixed together, the sand and dust rolled up, and I couldn't open my eyes.

My eyes got into the sand and opened my eyelids dimly......

In front of me is a simple farmhouse courtyard, with two white seals crossed by nailed red lacquered wooden doors, shaped like the English letters: X.

Suddenly, two drops of icy rain hit my face, and it rained in the sky.

"It's raining now, let's find a place to shelter from it. I took Xu Lixue's left hand and walked to the eaves of the small courtyard to shelter from the rain.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Xu Lixue touched her hair with her hand, "This kind of ghost weather, how can we go back to the hotel?"

"Are you cold?"

"Sort of. ”

I took off my red and white flower jacket and draped it on Xu Lixue's body, "You put on my coat." Beware of catching a cold. ”

"Aren't you cold?" asked Xu Lixue suspiciously.

"It's not cold. "I deliberately stretched my arms and shook them to prove that I wasn't cold. Actually, my body is still quite cold, and I get goosebumps from the cold. I'd rather catch a cold myself than Xu Lixue.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, holding a black briefcase to protect himself from the rain, ran over quickly......

“Hello!” After the middle-aged man took the initiative to say hello, he patted the rain on his clothes with his hand.

“Hello!” I responded.

"Where are you from?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I come from China!" I replied.

"Are you from China?" asked the middle-aged man in surprise.

The middle-aged man suddenly said a sentence in Chinese, which was unexpected.

"Yes. I nodded.

"I am Tang Huashi, an overseas Chinese. My nationality is a Chinese citizen, but I have been living in Thailand for a long time. ”

"Nice to meet you. I stretched out my right hand to shake hands, "How did you come to Thailand?"

"I came to Thailand to do coal mining business. ”

"Good. ”

"Something strange has happened in this small courtyard behind you. Tang Huashi had a puzzled expression on his face, "I still can't figure out what the hell is going on?"

"What's going on in this little courtyard?"

"There was a murder in this small courtyard. ”

"Murder?" Xu Lixue's eyes widened.

"Yes. Tang Huashi slowly sat down on the stone threshold of the small courtyard, "It's strange that the real culprit hasn't been identified yet. ”

Xu Lixue and I also sat down on the stone threshold of the small courtyard, Xu Lixue was always close to my body because she was afraid, and squeezed my palms very tightly. I took Xu Lixue's hand with my left hand and put my right hand around Xu Lixue's right shoulder to give her a little more security.

"The ins and outs of the murder, you tell it and listen to it. ”

"I also listened to the residents around me, and I don't know much about the specific situation. ”

"It's okay, you can say it. ”

"Three days ago...... Tang Huashi crossed his hands and curled up, "there is a passer-by named Bowis. He was sheltering from the rain at the gate of the courtyard when he heard a man's voice coming from the room: 'Help, help, come on!' The deceased was a husband named Nawawi. ”

"What else does the passer-by say about Borvais?" I asked, looking at Don's face.

"The testimony of a passer-by, Bowis, that before entering the house, he found blood on the doorknob and tried to take the injured to the hospital, but he was out of breath. ”

"And then?"

"Officer Charlie quickly catches his beautiful wife, Dickas, and his boss, his lover, Klee. ”

"Caught the suspect so quickly?"

"Yes. ”

"How did Officer Charlie determine that the two were lovers?"

"Officer Charlie visited the neighborhood to investigate. "Don Washi took out his lighter, pressed the switch, made a clicking sound, and lit a cigarette," his wife Decass testified: her husband was killed with a fruit knife, and it was none of her business. She had always loved her husband so much, how could she bear to kill her husband? She didn't even dare to kill a hen, let alone kill anyone. She and Klee are colleagues, not lovers, as the gossip goes. That night, she walked out of the bathroom wearing a white towel after taking a shower, and her boss Klee came to her home to ask her for an important and urgent work document, she accidentally fell, and Klee hugged her. At this time, the husband came back and happened to encounter this scene, and angrily beat Klee and threatened to kill him. In the midst of the fight, Klee hurriedly grabbed the sharp fruit knife on the glass coffee table and stabbed her husband in the heart as he lay on the sofa. ”

"What did the lover Klee say?"

The lover Klee testified that the deceased had been stabbed with scissors by his wife, Decass. She is a vicious woman. That night, he drove a black sedan to the gate of the yard, looking for Decass to ask for an important and urgent work document, but no one answered her mobile phone, maybe she was taking a shower in the bathroom at the time, so he went into the yard to look for Decass. Decass walked out of the bathroom with a white towel after taking a shower, she accidentally fell, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Decas. At this time, the husband came back and happened to encounter this scene, beat him angrily, and threatened to kill him. After the fight, the husband sat down on the couch from exhaustion, and Decass took a sharp pair of scissors from the drawer and said, 'Kill him, and we will be together.' Klee couldn't do anything, so Decass picked up scissors and stabbed her husband in the heart. ”

"That's weird. Who the hell killed my husband?" I asked.

"There's something even stranger. ”

I took a deep breath and said, "What's wrong again?"

Tang Huashi took a sharp puff of his cigarette, and the cigarette showed a red fire point, "Husband Nawawi dipped his fingers in blood and said last words on the sofa: 'I'd rather die if I'm tired', indicating suicide." ”

"Did the fruit knives and scissors leave at the scene of the crime?"

"The fruit knives and scissors they said were not found at the scene of the crime. Did they have these two murder weapons at the scene of the crime? Or did the murderer take the murder weapons away? ”

"The wounds of fruit knives and scissors are not the same width, and the forensic autopsy will not know who is lying?"

"The problem is that the bodies of the deceased have been burned. ”

"Where were the bodies burned?"

"The body was carried to the bed in the bedroom, covered with a quilt and clothes, sprinkled with gasoline and set on fire. When the police found the body, it was already charred. ”

In this way, the murderer deliberately burned the body in order to destroy the body. ”

"Yes. Tang Huashi slowly took a puff of smoke, "Now, this small courtyard has become a murderous house, and no one dares to enter it." ”

I opened one eye and squinted into the crack in the door: a small meadow planted in the courtyard, and a curving cobblestone path led to a glass square door...... Originally, there was nothing terrible, but as soon as I heard that there were people dead here, and that it was a crematory, it made people feel: eerie and terrifying, and the cold was overwhelming.

"Ahh

I hurriedly turned around and looked up at Xu Lixue, "What's wrong with you?"

"Yes—there's a mouse! There's a fluffy rat coming out from under the crack in the door, and it's horrible. In order to calm herself, Xu Lixue pressed her chest with her hand, "I'm scared to death." ”

At this time, in the middle of the street in the distance, there was a man in his thirties, dressed in tattered clothes and unkempt. His two feet, one in slippers and the other barefoot, with a pillow in his arms, swayed and talked to himself......

"Who is he?" I asked curiously.

"This is the Chinese translator Su Ge. His young wife suffers from anxiety disorder. Ever since his wife hanged herself, he has become delirious and insane. ”

"Alas, quite a poor man. Xu Lixue said in surprise, "Does Suge still have relatives and friends, and do his parents ignore him?"

"Suge's parents are still alive, but they can't control him. Once, when his parents locked him in his room, he yelled inside. His parents had no choice but to let him out. ”

"What is Suge's disease?" I asked, confused.

After Tang Huashi finished smoking this cigarette, he stepped on the cigarette butt with his foot, "Psychotic." ”

When Suge walked up to us, he found that his clothes were covered in mud.

Su Ge hugged the soft pillow tightly with both hands, "Do you see my wife?"

"You madman!" said Don Washi, getting up, "get out of here! Don't come near me!"

"You're crazy!" said Suge, pushing his head against him.

"Now that it's raining so hard outside, let him take shelter from the eaves. I stepped back and made a little space, "Everyone gave him some space." ”

Suge looked at me motionlessly......

"Come in and hide from the rain!" Xu Lixue gently persuaded.

"Are you hungry? I have a loaf of bread in my backpack. I unloaded my backpack, unzipped it, and with a hiss, took out a round golden loaf of bread from my backpack and handed it to Suge.

"Thank you. Suge took the bread, took a bite of it, and devoured, "You two - you are so nice. ”

"You're welcome. I also have a bottle of mineral water in my backpack. I handed a bottle of mineral water to Sug, "You are thirsty for bread, drink some water." ”

Suge twisted the cap, lifted the bottle with her hand, and drank it all with her head up......

"Suge, do you know anything about this courtyard?" I handed him a white tissue.

"Ahh ”

"Do you know?" asked Xu Lixue in confusion.

"Yes. "That night—I saw: a masked man in black climbed over the wall and entered the room. ”

"Is it a thief?" I asked, confused.

"I also heard: there was a fierce quarrel in the courtyard, and after about ten minutes, there was a strange noise. ”

I approached Suge's side, "What strange sounds did you hear?"
