Chapter X: Time of Crime (2)
Now Su San and Luo Yin are standing outside Le Ping's house on Hefei Road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Su San pointed in one direction and said, "Writer Zeng said that Liang Renmei lives there. ”
From Le Ping's house to Liang Renmei's house, it takes less than five minutes to walk.
Su San and Luo Yin walked silently back and forth along this road. It's autumn, and the big leaves of the plane tree, which is like a giant umbrella, are a little yellowish, and the clear sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming a speckled circle of light on the ground.
It's really a good season in the world, it's not yet a layer of autumn rain and a layer of cool, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn is high and refreshing.
On both sides of this street are very high-end single-family houses, there are not many pedestrians on the road, all in suits and leather shoes, women or cheongsam or dress, dressed appropriately.
If there were no murders, it would be a good place.
"It's only ten minutes to walk back and forth, and if Luo Yumei comes out of Liang Renmei's house in the middle, it's very simple to go back after killing people."
Su San groaned.
But the writer said that Luo Yumei did not leave during this period. This argument cannot be established. ”
Luo Yin looked up at the plane trees on both sides of the road: "Maybe only the plane trees standing here know what happened that day and who killed them." ”
"But what the hell is the coffee all about?" At Su San's insistence, Xiao Qin really extracted coffee from the marble base of the murder weapon, the bank lamp, a little bit of coffee traces. Xiao Qin wiped it little by little with a cotton swab according to the place pointed out by Su San, and finally a little light brown appeared on the absorbent cotton, and when he tested it with the instrument, it was indeed coffee.
Even without an instrument to check it, Su San could smell the faint smell of coffee on the cotton swab.
Luo Yin pointed to the café next to Le Ping's house and said, "Didn't you say that the coffee was accidentally picked up by the waiter of that store?" Let's go there and see. ”
Walking into the café, a young man in his twenties greeted him. Su Sanyi saw that it was the waiter he met yesterday.
"You're really hard, you helped people work yesterday, and you can't rest today."
The man glanced at Su San and said, "Oh, you're Miss Luo's friend." ”
Su San nodded.
After sitting down, the waiter brought the coffee that Luo Yin ordered.
"This is the inspector of the police department, I want to ask you."
Su San introduced to the waiter.
The waiter nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Detective, what do you want to ask?" ”
In his line of work, he knows very well who cannot be offended, and his attitude is very respectful.
"The day before yesterday, when did Luo Yumei come here?"
"It was about two o'clock, she said she was going to the neighborhood, and she didn't have time to eat at noon, so she had a pasta and a cup of coffee here. When I was serving coffee, my feet slipped and most of my cup of coffee spilled under her clothes. The waiter smiled sheepishly.
"Placket, this part?" Su San pointed to his clothes.
"Yes, fortunately, Miss Luo's cheongsam was a white woolen blouse on the outside that day, and she said that it was too late to change it, and she could take off the blouse when she went to a friend's house. I was frightened, because the white wool poured on the coffee could not be washed, and I was about to be fired, but I didn't expect Miss Luo to be so good and intercede with the foreman. ”
Su San thought to himself, if the white woolen blouse was poured with coffee, he would definitely be able to find that dress, and if he put on that dress and hugged the bank lamp, he would be able to know if the base would rub against the coffee stains.
I went to the café at about half past two and ate another pasta, during which I experienced being poured on my clothes by coffee, so when I came out, I went to Liang Renmei's house at about three o'clock.
Luo Yin and Su San walked out of the café, and Su San pointed in the direction of Liang's family and said, "Do you want to ask Liang Renmei." ”
The two of them came to the door of Liang Renmei's house, and the servant of the Liang family said that the young lady was not at home and went to the film company.
The two of them could only stand helplessly at the door.
At this time, Su San said: "In this way, let's also follow the route of Zeng Writer that day and take a look?" Calculate how long it will take. I always felt that there was something wrong with time, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. ”
The two of them stood at the door of Liang Renmei's house and watched the time, then waved and called two rickshaws to go to the Starlight Department Store.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the department store, Su San looked at his watch again.
It took thirty-one points to go from Liang Renmei's home to the department store.
Su San thought that something was indeed wrong. According to Writer Zeng, she came out of Liang Renmei's house at a little more than six o'clock, so it took thirty points on the road, she arrived at the department store at nearly seven o'clock, but when she got home, it was more than eight o'clock, and she went back by car, it should be faster, but it was more than an hour to go shopping, how could she be tired and couldn't walk, and she could buy so many things? She couldn't hire a rickshaw to go back to her apartment, or the department store's car to take her back. Su San explained his doubts to Luo Yin, and Luo Yin also nodded that what Su San said was very reasonable.
Zeng writer has no concept of time, and during the time period from six to eight o'clock, she should not be able to buy so many things except for the time wasted on the road.
There must be something wrong with this time.
Luo Yin showed his identity and found the saleswoman who was on duty the day before yesterday.
"Ah, Miss Zeng, yes, she's a regular customer in our store." The saleswoman thought for a moment and replied.
"So, do you remember when she came?"
Su San thought to himself that it was really as Zeng Writer said, and everyone in this department store knew her.
"Well, I don't know when I came, but I bought American glass stockings from me around five o'clock."
Around five o'clock!
Luo Yin looked at Su San, his eyes full of surprise.
"Are you sure it's around five o'clock! How do you know what time it is? ”
Luo Yin asked.
Su San clenched his fists, and sure enough, there was a problem at this time.
"That's because my mom wanted me to go home at about five o'clock that day, and she wanted to arrange a blind date for me, I hate this kind of thing, and it's too annoying to sit on the side and let those young masters choose. I was supposed to leave work at five o'clock, and I deliberately asked the manager to say that I would work overtime for a while, and I would have an excuse when my mother asked. When Miss Zeng came over, I was talking to the manager on duty about it. ”
"Did she buy a lot of things at the time?"
"It doesn't seem like much, just a small paper bag, and the next day I heard that Miss Zeng went shopping for a few hours yesterday and bought a lot of things, and our company's car took her home."
Sure enough, what the writer said was true.
The manager and driver of the department store said that it was around eight o'clock to send Zeng Writer home.
"Of course it's this point, our company closes at half past eight, Miss Zeng can really go shopping, it's been a few hours."
The manager said with a smile, he is a manager, of course he likes such rich and idle customers.
"Miss Zeng came out of Liang Renmei's house at six o'clock, why was she seen in the department store at five o'clock?" Coming out of the department store, Luo Yin muttered to himself.
