Guan Luo stayed in Commander Nine for almost the whole day, grinding all the coffee beans into powder.

The waitress in the back kitchen of the Ninth Commander thought it was very strange, usually the boss rarely stayed in the store for so long.

When Ye Qin came in, Guan Luo was putting the freshly ground powder into a small jar, and the room was full of mellow coffee aroma.

"Ninth Brother ......"

"Something?"

Ye Qin glanced at the two waiters behind him, understood them slightly, and took them away.

"Say it!" He was still stuffing his head and tinkering with the beans. Pour the beans into the grinder, and the metal blades are spinning in them.

Ye Qin obediently took another jar and handed it to him, but said in his mouth: "Brother Jiu, the people below just came to the news, Yang Xi was found dead in the villa of Xinyue Bay by the community security guards yesterday, according to the autopsy report, she had been dead for at least two days when the body was found, and a lot of Tang Jingcheng's fingerprints were found at the scene of the crime, so she was taken away by the police as the first suspect this afternoon." ”

Guan slightly clasped the can's hand and shook.

"How is that possible!"

"Really, that's probably the case. Because the detailed autopsy report has not yet come out, the specific cause of death is unknown, but it is judged according to the situation at the scene. Yang Xi should have died from blunt object knocking, and there were no signs of a fight at the scene, so the police judged that it was done by an acquaintance. ”

"Acquaintances?" Guan slightly stopped what he was doing. On Ho Maruka.

With the relationship between Tang Jingcheng and Yang Xi, they can indeed be called "acquaintances", not to mention that the two are incompatible, so they even have a motive for committing the crime.

Guan Xiao smiled faintly: "The situation is troublesome? ”

"Don't stop the trouble, the police have adjusted the surveillance video around Xinyue Bay in the past few days. But because it is a new villa area, the monitoring equipment is not fully installed, and it happened to be audited and debugged in those days, and the cameras around Villa 15 were just turned off for a few hours on the day of the crime, but the security guard at the door said that he did see Tang Jingcheng's car parked at the gate of No. 15 in the evening two days ago, and as for when he left, the security guard said that he did not pay attention. ”

In other words, Tang Jingcheng had no alibi.

Guan Luo frowned slightly: "It's really a bit troublesome, but haven't we been watched around the villa all the time?" Didn't you notice anything in those two days? ”

Ye Qin suddenly became embarrassed, and hesitated: "Brother Jiu, I also asked before I came to you, and there are indeed people staring at it all the time, but after all, it is a high-end community." It's easy to get attention if you stare too closely, so ......"

"So it's perfunctory?"

Ye Qin didn't dare to say any more, she rarely saw Guan Luo's face so gloomy.

"What about the people who followed Yang Xi, what do you say?"

"Yang Xi's ...... over there" Ye Qin was even more speechless, "On the day of the crime, the people who followed Yang Xi saw her enter Xinyue Bay, and she hasn't come out since, so... Only... Didn't follow up..."

Guan Luo's eyes turned cold instantly, and the can in his hand was thrown to the ground by him, and the freshly ground coffee was scattered all over the ground......

Ye Qin was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

How many years have it been, how many years have I not seen this man so angry?

"Brother Nine..."

"Don't call me Brother Jiu! Have you put my words to your ears one by one? Some time ago, Yang Xi was in a car accident on the road, which means that someone was already going to attack her, but in the end she died in the villa for two days. The body was still found by the community security guards, do you think it makes sense? ”

Ye Tan's heart hung on his voice, and he didn't dare to look at Guan Luo's eyes.

Guan Luo kicked the can out of his feet.

"Call those people who are staring at Yang Xi to come and see me!"

……

When the night was getting dark, Yu Huanxi finally saw Tang Jingcheng coming out of the police station, and she quickly got out of the car and ran over.

"Shocking, what's going on? Then why did Yang Xi die suddenly, and you, how could a good person become a suspect? ”

Tang Jingcheng opened a pair of empty eyes, not looking at Yu Huanxi, in the past few hours of recording a confession at the police station, she felt that her whole person was floating in mid-air as if she was weightless.

Floating, half-asleep.

Yu Huanxi didn't dare to ask more questions when she saw her like this, for fear of touching her emotions for a while and recurring.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, Sister Huanxi believes that you are innocent, and the police should be able to find out the truth soon. Let's go, I'll send you back first! Sister Ming'er will find you a good lawyer, it's okay...... It's okay......" Yu Huanxi comforted her unruly, and after comforting her, she combed the hair that had fallen out of her forehead for Tang Jingcheng, and helped her get into the car.

……

Guan Luo held the photos and reports of the crime scene transmitted by Ye Qin in his hand, which showed that Tang Jingcheng's real estate transfer information to Yang Xi was found at the scene, and her fingerprints were extracted from the materials and document bags.

In addition, according to Tang Jingcheng's confession, she indicated that she also gave Yang Xi a key to the vault of Qiu Qiguan's studio on the day of the crime, but the police did not find the key at the scene.

In addition, from the photos at the scene, it can be seen that Yang Xi's body was lying on the floor of the living room, with her abdomen on the ground and her eyes wide open, so it can be inferred that the murderer attacked her from behind, and next to Yang Xi's body was a wedding photo of Tang Jingcheng and Qiu Qiguan, which was splashed with Yang Xi's blood.

On the second day, the police officially released the autopsy report, clarifying the cause of the victim's death, and confirming that Yang Xi died of a rupture in the back of his skull caused by a blunt blow, and the time of death was determined to be between 2 and 4 a.m. on November 9.

Ye Qin went to the Ninth Commander at noon to find Guan Luo.

"Brother Jiu, Tang Jingcheng was taken away by the police again this morning, and he made a second confession, and he hasn't come out of the police station yet."

Guan Luo took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "What did she say in her confession?" ”

"It is said that during the interrogation, she was very emotionally unstable, making trouble and shouting, blindly emphasizing that she did not kill Yang Xi, but she could never come up with an exact alibi, so the situation is very unfavorable to her now, and she does have a motive to kill."

Ye Qin paid attention to Guan Liu's expression while reporting.

Guan Luo didn't speak, sitting on the rattan chair in the back window and smoking continuously, the light could not shine on his face, and his dark eyes could only be seen through the white smoke.

Towards the end of the evening, news came again.

Tang Jingcheng's request for bail was rejected by the police, and the family was not allowed to visit until the case was closed, so Yu Huanxi found a lawyer who specializes in criminal cases to go in and talk to her once.

The lawyer's surname is Fang.

An hour later, the lawyer came out of it, and Yu Huanxi met him as soon as possible.

"Lawyer Fang, what do you say?"

"This case is a bit tricky, not to mention that the current evidence is quite unfavorable to Miss Tang, and she herself is extremely uncooperative, I asked her anything she was vague and inconsistent, which made me want to help her and I didn't know where to start!"

Yu Huanxi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Lawyer Fang, you must help, I believe she must have been wronged, she can't and doesn't need to do such a thing as murder and breaking the law!" ”

"But it's useless for you to believe it, you have to ask the police and the judge to believe it!"

"So what now?" Yu Huanxi also ran out of ideas.

Lawyer Fang raised the eyes on the bridge of his nose: "Let me go back and investigate the case clearly for the time being, and then think about it in the long run." ”

"And she's staying in there like that?"

Lawyer Fang sighed: "I can't bail for the time being, so I can only stay in it first." ”

"How's that going to work? She has an autonomic nervous disorder, and if she stays in that kind of place for a few days, even if she can come out, she will probably be completely insane..."Yu Huanxi was already a little incoherent.

Lawyer Fang suddenly interrupted her: "Miss Yu, what did you just say?" Does she have an autonomic disorder? ”

"Yes, I was diagnosed about three months ago, and the situation is still relatively serious, and I have not received systematic treatment during this time."

Lawyer Fang let out a "hmm" and pushed down his glasses again: "Okay, I know, I will contact you if I have further information." ”

After the Ninth Commander closed, Guan Luo took the recorder and sat by the window of the store for two hours.

The faint light in the alley shone through the glass window, and the outline of half of the face looked even more handsome.

Ye Qin hadn't seen such an expression on this man's face for a long time.

In the past few days, his face was flat, even if there was something in his heart, his face was always the same, but today was different, he sat there looking dignified and cold, as if there was something important waiting for him to decide.

"Brother Jiu..."Ye Qin walked over and glanced at the voice recorder he had been holding in his hand, "Inside is the recording of Tang Jingcheng's second confession that I managed to get from the police station, have you heard it?" ”

Guan Luo nodded.

"And what did she say?" Ye Qin was curious, Guan slightly didn't answer, and directly put the recorder on the table.

Ye Tan took it and pressed the play button.

The recording began to play, preceded by some inconsequential questions asked by the criminal police, Tang Jingcheng answered in a scattered manner, without a clue, her voice was extremely weak, the content was almost inaudible, only the intermittent gasps and trills from her chest were heard.

It can be seen that Tang Jingcheng's situation was really bad during the confession, but Ye Tan began to feel strange when he listened to it.

When the criminal police asked Tang Jingcheng where she had been on the night of the crime and who she had seen, her voice was surprisingly calm.

Interpol: Miss Tang, did you see the victim Yang Xi on November 9?

Tang Jingcheng: Yes!

Interpol: Where have you seen it?

Tang Jingcheng: In that villa.

Interpol: What time is the meeting?

Tang Jingcheng: I went in the evening, and I came out after dark.

Detective: So where have you been since you came out of the villa?

Tang Jingcheng: Thyme.

Interpol: Who did you see in thyme?

Tang Jingcheng: ...... (Breathing heavily, for a long time) didn't go in, but I met a personal fitness trainer named Jiang Chao in the parking lot, and then I took him home.

Interpol: And then? You've been together that night?

Tang Jingcheng: (another series of heavier breathing), no, he left my apartment at about 9 o'clock.

Interpol: What about after 9 o'clock, who are you with after 9 o'clock?

Tang Jingcheng: ...... (There is no answer, only a breath sound that is higher than one)

Criminal police: The more you think about it after 9 o'clock, the more unwilling you become, unwilling to let your deceased husband have a personal affair with the victim, and even more unwilling that the victim took away your deceased husband's property, so you turned back to Xinyue Bay Villa to entangle with it, and missed it for a while or it was a premeditated plan to kill the victim with a blunt object, right?

Tang Jingcheng: No, no... I didn't kill anyone!

Interpol: Then let me ask again, where were you from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. on November 9? With whom?

Tang Jingcheng: (The panting sound for a long time is more intense than the other, but he doesn't speak!) ）

Interpol: Say, where? With whom?

Tang Jingcheng: ...... I'm alone, at home! …… But believe me, I didn't kill anyone, really, I didn't...... No killings!

There was a fierce slapping of the table from the recorder.

The detective shouted: Be quiet, sit down! Sit down! …… The suspect lost control of her emotions, and two people came in and suppressed her first......

After that, there was the sound of tables and chairs moving and pushing and twisting, and Tang Jingcheng's whimpering and wheezing were extremely harsh in the recorder.

"Let go of me... Let me go! ……”

The recording then stops, leaving a busy note.

Guan Luo closed his eyes and let out a long breath in his heart.

Ye Qin didn't notice the expression on Guan Luo's face, and added, "Brother Jiu, don't you say it's strange that Tang Jingcheng is strange?" This afternoon, the police summoned the personal fitness trainer named Jiang Chao, who admitted that he did go to her apartment with Tang Jingcheng on the night of November 9 and did not leave until 9 o'clock, and the reason for leaving was that Tang Jingcheng had a friend visiting, but why did she not mention this friend in her confession? ”

Guan slightly pressed his thumb to his temples, and his face became even more condensed.

Ye Qin was still asking: "Tang Jingcheng refuses to cooperate with the recording of the confession, and there is no alibi evidence, do you think Yang Xi was really killed by her?" ”

"Impossible!"

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because on the night of the crime, between 2 and 4 a.m., I was with her ......"

……

The murder of Yang Xi was wantonly magnified by the media, with love killings, vendettas, and murders fighting for inheritance...... All kinds of gimmicks made this case a lot of trouble.

Tang Jingcheng had been in the police station for 48 hours, and the investigation of the case had not progressed, and she was officially transferred to the detention center on the third day.

Yu Huanxi has become more and more desperate.

Tang Ji was even more anxious, and wanted to go into the detention center to see Tang Jingcheng after a lot of connections, but it couldn't be achieved at all.

On the fourth day, lawyer Fang finally made an appointment with Yu Huanxi to meet.

"Miss Yu, in the past few days, I have made an appointment with all the people related to this case, and even her downstairs security guard also asked, and the security guard confirmed that she did bring a male fitness trainer home before 8 o'clock in the evening, and the coach left her apartment at about 9 o'clock, and another man in the middle went to look for her, but she insisted in her confession that she stayed alone at home after 9 o'clock and did not meet anyone again, so she only had alibi evidence before 9 o'clock, but the time of the victim's death was after 2 o'clock in the morning, you must know, from 9 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning, five hours, she has enough time to commit crimes! ”

Lawyer Fang went through all the clues.

Yu Huanxi shook her head when she heard this, it was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing, and her thinking had been completely messed up.

"So what now? If what the security guard said was true, would we just be able to prove her alibi after 9 a.m. if we only had to find the other man? ”

"It's a little difficult, the security guard doesn't know the man's identity and name, only that he knows Miss Tang, and Miss Tang blindly denied in her confession that another man went to look for her after 9 o'clock, so ......"

"What the hell!" Yu Huanxi has all messed up, "Then we'll sit and wait!" ”

Lawyer Fang lifted his glasses with embarrassment: "The case has not progressed for a long time, and all kinds of evidence are unfavorable to Miss Tang. ”

"How can this be!" Yu Huanxi realized the seriousness of the matter, and also knew that once the case was filed, it would mean that everything was a foregone conclusion, "Is there no other way to think about it?" ”

Lawyer Fang paused and raised his head: "Yes, the worst plan is to fight for a lighter sentence for her." ”

"But I'm sure she's not going to kill at all!"

"But it's not up to us now!" Lawyer Fang was also a little excited, "I have been a criminal defense lawyer for so many years, and I clearly understand the feelings of every suspect's family, but often the facts do not match expectations, and we must prepare for the worst first, so that we can have countermeasures when the trial officially begins!" ”

Yu Huanxi was yelled at by the lawyer, and could only suppress her temper: "Okay, you say, what to do?" ”

Lawyer Fang lifted his glasses again: "According to the information you provided before, Miss Tang suffers from autonomic nervous disorder, do you have her diagnosis certificate in your hand?" ”

……

The next day, a shocking news was exposed in the media, the famous female artist and national jade carver Miss Tang Jingcheng had been diagnosed with severe autonomic nervous disorder three months ago.

Many people are very unfamiliar with the name of the disease, and well-meaning media have also reported all the symptoms of the disease under the news, such as uncontrolled emotions and behaviors, mania, depression, various functional disorders, and often do things out of the ordinary......

From the public's point of view, it is very simple that Tang Jingcheng is now a psychopath, an out-and-out madman.

From Lawyer Fang's point of view, as long as the judge accepts that Tang Jingcheng is a mentally ill person, according to the provisions of the Criminal Law, at least the sentence can be mitigated or commuted when the sentence is pronounced.

When Guan Luo saw this news on the Internet, he was instantly furious, so that all the people who stared at Yang Xi in those days received heavy fines.

The people below didn't know what was going on, and they were all like facing a great enemy, but Ye Tan vaguely understood something in his heart.

"Brother Jiu, you ...... with her"

"What do you want to ask?"

"That night, you were with Tang Jingcheng...... Is there a ...... between you? ”

Guan Luo threw away the mouse in his hand: "Don't ask anything you shouldn't ask, help me arrange it, I'll go to the detention center in the afternoon!" ”

"You go..."

"I'll go see her!"

Guan Luo drove to the detention center by himself in the afternoon, and the person who answered him took him to the visiting room.

About ten minutes later, an assistant police officer came out of it and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry Mr. Guan, she doesn't want to see you!" ”

This is something Guan Luo didn't expect, why is this woman thinking in her heart?

The assistant police escorted Guan Luo out, and when he walked to the door, he still couldn't hold back, and asked, "She's inside, how is the situation?" ”

"It's not very good, the mood is very abnormal, either I don't talk all day long, I don't want to eat much, or I mess around in the middle of the night, bang my head against the wall, bite my arm with my teeth... So there was no way, since the day before yesterday we could only lock her up in one room alone. ”

Guan Luo sat in the car and smoked half a pack of cigarettes, and his hand was stretched out to hold the steering wheel, and the shallow scar on the back of his hand could be clearly seen.

The scabs had all been removed, leaving only a pale white trail that stood out on his bronzed skin.

"Ye Zi, help me contact the lawyer in charge of Tang Jingcheng's case!"

"Brother Jiu, are you planning to go to court? No, you can't go to court, this case has been well known, once you go to court, you may be recognized, and have you ever considered Sister Qingxiao, if she knew that you and Tang Jingcheng were together that night......"

"Yezi, I'll repeat it again, help me contact that lawyer!"
