The wonderful sense of superiority that Mao Li had established earlier came to naught in Ye Chen's two short sentences, which naturally made this senior cadre of the detective agency angry. Under such circumstances, Ye Chen's provocation of 'gambling without belief' directly aroused Mao Li's rebellious psychology, and he directly responded to this gambling contract.

In the eyes of uninformed people, Mao Li's decision is obviously a brainless impulse, but Mao Li naturally has his own considerations. His biggest reliance is that Ye Chen, like him, is a latecomer, not an eyewitness. Moreover, Ye Chen himself admitted that he did not reason, but directly concluded, in this case, 99% of the conclusions made by Ye Chen were blind, which is still a conservative estimate.

In a word, Mao Li didn't believe that Ye Chen had the ability to see through the case at a glance without relying on any clues. If you really have this ability, then it will be much easier to solve the case in the future, directly take Ye Chen to the crime scene, then point at random, then arrest people, and then end the case, this is simply a fantasy!

However, unfortunately, this time Mao Li's inference really came true, Ye Chen really happened to have this ability, which was much more convenient than mind reading. Mind reading can only exert the greatest effect if the criminal is still at the scene, but once the criminal has already run away, it will be difficult to make it, and Ye Chen's ability to relive the past is different, directly restore the scene, analyze the details, and it is clear who the prisoner is.

A bet should be placed, and the next step is to solve the mystery and find the murderer. Mao Li naturally didn't care about the humility he said earlier to the newcomers in the community, and he was about to start reasoning, he couldn't wait to unravel the truth of the incident and slap Ye Chen in the face.

"Wait." At this time, Ye Chen spoke up to stop Mao Li's movements.

"What else? What, do you want to go back on it? Mao Li became more and more confident.

"Since it's a bet, there should be a bet to be interesting." Ye Chen said.

"Bets?" Mao Li was stunned for a moment, but also reacted, and said: "That's right, if you lose, I won't be difficult for you, you will be my follower for a month, I will let you go east, you can't go west." ”

After that, Mao Li seemed to have made up for the next week, and the scene where Ye Chen, a cultivator who was in the limelight yesterday, was his junior brother and lost face, was just a word.

"Yes, you can." Ye Chen responded neatly, and continued: "Then what should you do if you lose?" ”

Hearing Ye Chen's promise so refreshingly, Mao Li couldn't help but chuckle, but at this moment, he was already ready to send it, dispelling the last trace of doubt in his heart, Mao Li calmed down and replied: "I can't lose, this question is meaningless." ”

"It's not going to work, and I don't think I'm going to lose." Ye Chen said.

"Then what do you say?" Mao Li said.

"Well, just now I felt that you have been envious of my unprecedented level in the community, then I will be a good person, if you lose, then let's change the rank, let you get your wish." Ye Chen said after thinking for a while.

To be honest, when Ye Chen first proposed this bet, it was just because of his previous habits, and he just said it in passing, he didn't expect that there would be a stupid hat to promise him in such a trivial matter, so he didn't think about the bet in advance.

And in Mao Li, Ye Chen didn't have anything he wanted, thinking about it, considering his arrogant appearance of relying on his identity before, Ye Chen decided to teach him a lesson. So there was this request made by Ye Chen.

Hearing Ye Chen's request, Mao Li was obviously a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "What, no?" Then I'll change it, how about a detour when you see me in the future? It's a lot simpler, isn't it? ”

"Okay, without further ado, this time I'll let you see how the real detective solves the case." Mao Li said, without clearly indicating which conditions were agreed.

Everything was negotiated, and Mao Li was anxious to find Chen Xuan to understand the case, but when he turned around, he saw Chen Xuan's anxious but helpless face.

"What's wrong?" Mao Li is purely a subconscious question.

Chen Xuan beckoned, leaned into Mao Li's ear and whispered a few words. Mao Li, who heard this, suddenly changed color, and blurted out: "Damn, why didn't you say it earlier." Obviously, what Chen Xuan said to him was the fact that the current suspects have been narrowed down to two people. Now, Mao Li's chances of winning are suddenly reduced by half, and if you choose one of the two, this may not be an ordinary loss.

At this time, Mao Li really regretted that he had just promised too hastily. At the same time, he finally figured out why Chen Xuan frequently frowned at him just now, he wanted to remind him of something, but he ignored it himself.

However, although the winning rate has dropped by half all of a sudden, at least there is a certain chance, and Mao Li has not given up, everything has to be tested by his own reasoning before making a conclusion.

Thinking of this, Mao Li also put it into action, and finally had the appearance of some detectives. The first is to ask Chen Xuan about the deceased and the information of the two suspects.

The deceased's name is Li XX, a reporter from the Tianyan Times, who specialized in exposing some unknown social loopholes, so he was hated by many people, and just a few days ago broke the news that a marine development company may have been involved in an inter-regional smuggling case. The deceased would basically come to this place to eat at this time of day at noon, and it had become a habit for him.

The suspect, who was five seats away from the deceased, was an old woman of about fifty years old. After an investigation by Chen Xuan and his subordinate information department, it was found that the old woman had an uncut connection with the deceased. About five years ago, the deceased had made a major mistake and reported it incorrectly, resulting in the death of a young man in the prime of his life. And the dead young man was the son of the old woman. Thus, the old woman's motive for killing was established.

As the other suspect in this case, that is, the person Ye Chen testified, it looks much more ordinary. Through the query of the huge information base, no matter from any point of view, there is no connection between this young man surnamed Wang and the deceased, and the social circle of the two is not in the same range.

If there's any overlap, it's just that we happened to sit together at noon today. Moreover, this young man surnamed Wang was too calm, and his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. If he really was the murderer, it would be too scary.

After understanding the general situation of the suspect and the deceased, Mao Li's face finally relaxed, and according to the custom, he consulted a few guests who happened to be nearby, and the understanding of the characters came to an end. The next step is to determine the modus operandi through keen on-site observation.

Regarding the cause of death of the deceased, Mao Li learned from Chen Xuan that it was indeed poisoning, and it was the most efficient synthetic poison at present, necyanide, which is a first-class prohibited drug.

The officers of the Identification Division of the Tianyan Provincial Police found traces of poison from the fingers of the deceased's left hand, the left half of the broken dinner plate, and the wall of the water cup placed on the left hand side of the deceased, and the rest of the handkerchiefs on the left hand side were all traces of no drugs.

After careful observation, and then silently combing in his heart, Mao Li finally relaxed completely, and he had already come to his own conclusion, which was just the opposite of what Ye Chen was referring to, and he was still quite confident in his reasoning.
