Things suddenly took a turn for the worse on Sunday, a few days later. I suddenly received a call from Xu Ying, and she told me in a hurry that Lin Lirou had an accident and died in the house she rented. Lin Lirou was killed? I felt like my head was exploding! How is this possible? Why was he killed? The reason? What's going on? A litany of questions emerged.

Xu Ying on the other end of the phone was very anxious, she asked for my opinion, should she call Wei Xueman first? And who should make this call? Just when I was hesitating about how to respond to Xu Ying, Qin Ming was waiting outside my gate. I hesitated for a moment and decided to let Xu Ying make this call, no matter what, she should know what was going on here.

And Qin Ming, who suddenly appeared in front of me, brought me another shocking news: just half an hour ago, Hu Yangfan, who was staying in a hotel in this city, was arrested on suspicion of murder. Qin Ming...... I guess I will choose to avoid it because of the system, right? Looking at his face, you know that it is not very good-looking.

"Just let her say it, because I've already called my aunt, and she said to rush back immediately." Qin Ming walked in with an uneasy face, sat on the sofa and held his head, and said after a while: "I heard that the suspect was in the hotel, so I rushed over with someone, but I didn't expect that it was my sister-in-law who opened the door, this matter is really troublesome." I have already asked the director to seconded you to the criminal police team to participate in the investigation of this case, and you can go over and take over in a moment. ”

"Me again?" Qin Ming wouldn't really think that I could take on such a big responsibility, would he? "Didn't you say that Hu Yangfan had already been arrested? Why investigate? Isn't it easy for you to find evidence? ”

"I don't think he was going to kill someone, and there were suspicions at the scene. But he is more suspicious, and this is what really makes me embarrassed. Qin Ming said with some uneasiness: "Hu Yangfan can't tell his specific whereabouts, he is drunk." That's why I thought, you might as well check it out......"

Can I opt out? Of course, there is no reason to refuse. I'm curious, why did Qin Ming insist on seconding me? I know Lin Lirou and Hu Yangfan, aren't they afraid that I will mix my feelings when handling the case?

But he didn't give me a chance to sort out my feelings, so he took me to the scene of the crime. A cordon has been put up at the gate, and preliminary evidence collection has been completed. According to Xu Hui, who brought me here, the door was open at the time. I got up at half past five in the morning to go to the morning market, and found that the door here was hidden, so I pushed open the door and took a look. When they came to the scene, they found the deceased lying on the ground between the sofa and the coffee table, and turned it over, only to find that the deceased had a knife stuck in his chest, but there was no blood on the ground, his lips were black and purple, and his clothes were torn, looking like he had fought with someone. Strangely, there was no movement at the door. The room was turned into a mess, like someone was looking for something. Because Lin Lirou is the only one who lives here on weekdays, she doesn't know what is missing. But her purse is still there.

"It doesn't look like killing for money. So we guess it may be a murder for love. The suspect couldn't tell where he went, so our investigation continues, hoping to find out more from the scene. Xu Hui scratched his head, this is a person in his early thirties, not tall, he looks very capable, I heard Qin Ming say that Xu Hui is a person with a lot of experience in handling cases.

I just don't know, in his opinion, I'm here to join in the fun? I'm a layman after all. Without waiting for me to speak, Xu Hui suddenly laughed, "Last time you participated in the investigation of that case, we all saw your strength. This time, I hope you don't let us down either. Our captain used to say that you can see what we can't see. You see, it seems to be an easy case to investigate, but there are some strange things that have been discovered. ”

The simplicity of the case is also because of the testimony of the neighbor's aunt. After a fierce dispute between Hu Liyun and Lin Lirou last time, Lin Lirou has become famous. The neighbors up and down here all know that there is a third party who intervenes in other people's feelings. Although others didn't say anything in person, they had already talked about it behind their backs. In addition, everyone in the community knows Hu Yangfan and Wei Xueman, so they look at Lin Lirou even more. It is said that a child once threw a bottle at Lin Lirou. Needless to ask, those children are naturally influenced by those aunts who like to nag their parents on weekdays.

The time of death is uncertain. But according to the aunt on the other side, the last time she saw Lin Lirou was at 9:20 p.m. She remembers the time very clearly because the TV series she must catch up every night ends at that time. At that time, she heard Lin Lirou talking to someone very loudly, so she opened the door and took a look, and there seemed to be someone standing under the corridor. Because the light in the hallway was broken, she couldn't see who it was. Lin Lirou glared at her dissatisfiedly at the time, and quickly closed the door. Then it was 10 p.m., when she was ready to go to bed. Vaguely heard someone opening the door with the key, she looked at it at the cat's eye, and after opening the door, through the light of Lin Lirou's room, she could see that it was Hu Yangfan who walked in, and then closed the door. She hasn't heard anything since.

"Hey, look at how unlucky I am? How did you get killed? Do you think I'll dare to go out after the night? What kind of girl is that Rou, what a girl she looks like when she comes? Why did you break up someone's good home? You say that young people nowadays really can't understand it. "Just as Xu Hui and I were talking inside and checking the scene again, the aunt on the other side of the door stood at the door and complained to us. After I turned my gaze to her, which obviously added some impetus to her complaints, she continued: "Standing in this doorway, I feel eerie. How scary do you say? Fortunately, our old couple locked the door every night when they went to sleep, if Hu Yangfan went crazy and suddenly broke into our house, we old couple would have nowhere to hide, wouldn't we? ”

"Are you home alone now? What about the uncle? I asked curiously.

The aunt waved her hand again and again: "My wife is inside." The ears are not very good, and I don't use hearing aids on weekdays. Now I'm going out to play chess with someone. ”
