Chapter 24 No hesitation
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi quickly took Zhu Wolong to the interrogation room of the police station. Zhu Wolong sat on the chair, very dissatisfied. Although he had to step on the threshold of the old gate police station on weekdays, he never expected that he would be arrested one day.
Bao Kang happily came to interrogate the prisoner, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down, his eyes were about to fall off. When Bao Kang saw Zhu Wolong opposite, he was stupid, but he didn't expect that the major suspect in Lu Hehuan's mouth was actually his favorite "golden turtle son-in-law".
Zhu Wolong thought that Bao Kang knew about it, and asked: "Director Bao, can you give me a reasonable explanation, why did you arrest me here?" ”
Bao Kang was embarrassed, he glanced at Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi who were standing aside, and lowered his voice to reprimand, "You two give me a reasonable explanation!" ”
Ying Xi secretly pointed at Lu Hehuan and put on a posture of "it's none of my business".
"Lu Hehuan, this is the major suspect you are talking about?" Bao Kang glared at Lu He Huan, and the anger burned in his chest.
Lu Hehuan nodded and confessed: "As far as I know, Boss Zhu is going to demolish and rebuild the house in Huaihua in the near future and rent it out, and he has already begun to send someone to secretly estimate the area of the house...... The deceased are all lonely and widowed, and there is no one to inherit the property after death, so Boss Zhu can naturally save part of the compensation......"
"So what? What are you suspecting? Bao Kang interrupted Lu Hehuan impatiently.
Lu Hehuan said with a straight face: "I suspect that Boss Zhu is the real murderer!" Director Bao, you won't cover up because the suspect is Boss Zhu, right? ”
The eyes of the police officers in the house turned to Bao Kang.
Bao Kang was hindered by the presence of everyone, so naturally he couldn't blatantly shield Zhu Wolong, he pretended to clear his throat, "Of course I will enforce the law impartially." ”
"Director Bao, then I'll start interrogating." Ying Xi knows how to see the wind and rudder best, and when he saw that Bao Kang had spoken, he immediately stepped forward to ask for instructions.
Bao Kang snorted softly from his nose, and he deliberately raised his chin to avoid Zhu Wolong's angry gaze.
Ying Xi looked at Zhu Wolong and asked matter-of-factly, "Boss Zhu, where were you at about nine o'clock the night before yesterday?" ”
"The day before yesterday at nine o'clock in the evening...... Oh, I'm ......."
Zhu Wolong said and glanced at Bao Kang. The night before yesterday, he had been having fun among the fireworks, which naturally he couldn't let his brother know.
"Boss Zhu?" Ying Xi stared curiously at Zhu Wolong, who was hesitant.
Zhu Wolong looked at Bao Kang with an embarrassed expression and gritted his teeth, "I forgot." ”
"Zhu Wolong, you are spitting, your eyes are wandering, you are lying at all." Lu Hehuan looked at Zhu Wolong with sharp eyes.
Everyone present looked at Zhu Wolong.
"Oh, don't ask, I have prepared a large sum of money to count as compensation for the residents, and there is no need to kill people at all." Up to now, Zhu Wolong can only eat coptis dumbly.
"Boss Zhu, please cooperate, nine o'clock in the evening before yesterday is the time of the crime, where are you?" Ying Xi asked.
"Maybe at home? It may also be in the company......" Zhu Wolong's eyes dodged, ambiguously prevaricating.
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi stared at Zhu Wolong, their eyes were suspicious, and they both felt that Zhu Wolong was lying.
In the evening, the acacia flowers make smoke curl. Liu Rushuang's hurried footsteps shattered the peace that had been restored in the alley.
Liu Rushuang stopped in front of Sister Hao's house and knocked on the door hurriedly.
After a moment, Sister Hao opened the door and looked at Liu Rushuang with some surprise.
"Sister Hao, I'm Liu Rushuang, do you know me?" Liu Rushuang looked flustered.
Sister Hao thought for a moment and nodded, "Miss Liu has something to do with me?" ”
Liu Rushuang didn't answer, but asked instead: "Sister Hao, have you heard the rumor that Jin Lu's soul is asking for his life?" ”
"That's all rumors, how can there be ghosts in the world? I heard that the murderers have been caught......" Sister Hao paused for a moment and cautiously continued: "Isn't it Miss Liu's partner Bai Yulou?" ”
"No, white ants don't dare to step on it, how can they kill people? That's why I want to continue the investigation and help Bai Bai get justice, Sister Hao, Bai Bai and you live in Huaihua Lane, and you are also a fellow villager, so you have to contribute. Liu Rushuang's words were sincere.
"Me?" Sister Hao was a little surprised, she couldn't think of how she could contribute.
Liu Rushuang nodded, "I know that you are very familiar with the residents of this area, and your popularity is also good, so I would like to ask you to help inquire, who was the first to spread the news of Jin Lu's unjust soul?" Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing. ”
Sister Hao looked at Liu Rushuang with a confused expression.
"This is a deposit, and there will be a reward if I hear about it." Liu Rushuang took out some money from her pocket and stuffed it to Sister Hao.
Sister Hao nodded hesitantly, and the hand holding the banknote trembled slightly.
"Then I'll go, and if I find out, I'll immediately go to the Frost Detective Agency to find me." Liu Rushuang instructed uneasily.
Sister Hao nodded, and Liu Rushuang turned to leave.
As the twilight approached, the police station dungeon became darker and darker.
Zhu Wolong sat depressedly in the corner of the cell, not expecting that he would be in prison.
The cell door opened, and Bao Kang walked in quickly. When Zhu Wolong saw Bao Kang, as if a hungry and cold person saw food, Huo Di stood up with a look of grievance.
"Director Bao, you must believe me, I really didn't kill anyone."
Bao Kang held Zhu Wolong's hand and looked embarrassed, "I believe, it's just that if you don't say where you went that night, I can't help you." ”
Zhu Wolong moved the corners of his mouth, and the words came to his mouth, but thinking that Bao Ying had already ignored his love, if he knew that he was in the land of fireworks, wouldn't he want to break with him. Thinking of this, Zhu Wolong swallowed his words again.
Bao Kang saw that Zhu Wolong wanted to speak and stopped, and asked tentatively: "Is there anything unspeakable about Boss Zhu?" ”
"Director Bao, in fact, I was ...... that night" Zhu Wolong really couldn't speak.
"Where?" Bao Kang motioned to Zhu Wolong with an expectant look on his face to continue.
"Director Bao, you must understand my intentions, I am serious about Miss Bao." Zhu Wolong was afraid that Bao Kang would be angry, so he appeased him in advance.
"I understand, just that night?"
Zhu Wolong looked at Bao Kang, shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I was in the fireworks room that night, and the red peony, white rose, and hibiscus can all testify......
Bao Kang was stunned for a moment.
"Director Bao, you are also a man, you have to understand me." Zhu Wolong pleaded with Bao Kang with a weak heart.
"I understand, Boss Zhu has not yet started a family, so he naturally lingers in the flowers, once you and Xiao Ying become relatives and have a family, your heart will be settled." Bao Kang pretended to be experienced and comforted.
Zhu Wolong hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Of course, with Miss Bao, who would still worry about those broken flowers and grass...... Director Bao, Miss Bao's ......"
Bao Kang understood, and swore that "Boss Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely help you hide from Xiaoying." ”
"Director Bao, you are really my confidant." Zhu Wolong was moved.
Outside the cell, Lu Hehuan had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Bao Kang and Zhu Wolong, he didn't expect that Bao Kang was willing to sacrifice Bao Ying's happiness for the sake of wealth and glory, and he couldn't help but be angry.
Ying Xi on the side was afraid that Lu Hehuan would make trouble impulsively, so he patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.
"I'm going to tell Xiao Ying and let her know what this Zhu Wolong is." Lu Hehuan couldn't bear it.
"As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage, and you can't do that kind of lack of morality." Ying Xi tried his best to dissuade Lu Hehuan.
"Xiao Ying has the right to know Zhu Wolong's character and make the right choice by herself."
"Ten men and nine colors, don't forget that white lies make the world a better place."
The two of them argued word by word, and unconsciously the voices became louder and louder.
"No, I can't watch Xiao Ying being deceived, I'm going to tell her!"
Lu Hehuan said that he was leaving, but was stopped by Ying Xi.
"If you can't cheat, you can't talk about it!"
"Then I'll tell Xiao Ying too......" Lu Hehuan shook off Ying Xi.
Bao Kang heard the voices of Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi, and came out of the cell angrily, "What are you two doing?" ”
Lu Hehuan was just about to speak, but Ying Xi hurriedly covered Lu Hehuan's mouth.
"It's okay......" Ying Xi smiled.
Lu Hehuan stepped on Ying Xi's feet violently, Ying Xi hugged his feet and jumped in pain, and let go of the hand that was holding Lu Hehuan.
"I'm going to tell Xiao Ying, Zhu Wolong is going to the fireworks room!" Lu Hehuan said what he thought in his heart straightforwardly.
"Stinky boy, you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu fired you!" Bao Kang was furious and threatened Lu Hehuan.
Lu Hehuan wanted to say something, but he was pulled by Ying Xi again.
"I think you two are in a panic! Get out of here and wipe the police station toilet clean with a toothbrush! Bao Kang was so angry that his eyebrows almost stood up.
"Toothbrush?!" Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi asked in unison.
It was darker, Lu Hehuan was holding a toothbrush in the corridor of the police station, pretending to paint the wall while slowly approaching the forensic office.
In the forensic office, Bao Ying was startled when she saw Lu Hehuan, and couldn't help but wonder why Lu Hehuan, who had always been steady, made a prank today.
"He Huan, there is no sound when you come in."
"Be quiet, I have something important to tell you, it's about Zhu Wolong." Lu Hehuan lowered his voice, looking mysterious.
"I'm not interested in hearing it." Bao Ying's attitude was cold, and he was already resistant to the three words "Zhu Wolong".
"Huh? Then I still don't say it? Lu Hehuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" Bao Ying was amused by Lu Hehuan's expression.
"Zhu Wolong goes to the fireworks room!" Lu Hehuan looked serious.
Bao Ying nodded, waiting for Lu He Huan to continue.
"It's gone." Lu Hehuan looked at Bao Ying more and more embarrassed, and he didn't expect her to be as calm as water.
"Oh. What I expected, it doesn't matter to me what he does. ”
"Then I'm out." Lu Hehuan pointed out the door awkwardly.
Bao Ying nodded, "Thank you, He Huan." ”
Lu Hehuan smiled, turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered something and came back, "Xiao Ying, you didn't know about this matter originally, but now that I'm telling you, you know about it, but even if you know, you have to pretend not to know, you know?" ”
Bao Ying was a little confused by Lu Hehuan, scratching his head, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing......"
Lu Hehuan interrupted Bao Ying and shook his head, "No, it's pretending not to know, especially in front of your brother." ”
"I see." Bao Ying understood Lu Hehuan's good intentions and smiled gently.
Lu Hehuan flashed out with confidence.
As the night darkened, Bao Kang changed into civilian clothes and walked to the door of the fireworks room, he looked up at the neon plaque, and was afraid.
"Bao Kang, you can, aren't you women, just be a talking white radish." Bao Kang muttered to himself cheering himself on.
Bao Kang took a deep breath and strode into the fireworks room.
At this time, the fireworks room was very lively, several tables in the hall were already full of guests, and a young woman with slightly bulging breasts sang Yangzhou songs on the stage, which caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
When the old bustard saw Bao Kang walking in, he glanced at the girl behind him, "White roses, red peonies, there are guests coming." ”
"Here we are." The white rose and red peony heard the call of the bustard, and threw the silk handkerchief to meet them.
As soon as Bao Kang saw two bewitching women coming up, his face suddenly turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
The white rose and red peony people are as their name suggests, with lovely looks and graceful figures. One of them was dressed in a white cheongsam, and the other was a red cheongsam, twisting the waist of the water snake and approaching Bao Kang.
Seeing Bao Kang trembling, White Rose proposed, "Isn't this person crazy?" You're going to pinch someone, right? ”
"Didn't he faint and pinch people?" Red Peony disagreed.
White Rose patted Bao Kang's face, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”
Bao Kang's pale face immediately turned red like a monkey's buttocks.
The white rose and the red peony looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"I ...... I...... I ......" Bao Kang's lips trembled, but he couldn't spit out a complete sentence.
"A fool, huh?" White Rose frowned.
"Maybe it's the stupid son of some landlord's family? Such a lord is rich and easy to coax. Red Peony smiled.
"Then take it upstairs and take off your clothes and search to see how much money this fool has." The white rose followed with the joy.
"You ...... You guys...... You ......" Bao Kang's eyes widened, still speechless.
The white rose and the red peony dragged Bao Kang upstairs regardless of it, and it happened that Li Yingying came down from upstairs and was surprised to see Bao Kang.
"Director Bao? You're a rare guest in the fireworks room. Li Yingying approached Bao Kang.
"Director Bao?" The white roses and the red peonies are both stunned.
"You don't even recognize Bao Kang, the chief of the old gate police station, do you? Published in the newspapers! Li Yingying asked sharply.
White Rose and Red Peony hurriedly let go of Bao Kang, embarrassed.
"Bao, Director Bao, we were just joking." White Rose smiled and apologized to Bao Kang.
"Director Bao is handsome and chic, how can he be like the stupid son of the landlord's family, joking." The red peony complimented Bao Kang.
Bao Kang glared at White Rose and Red Peony fiercely, trembled his hands, tried to control his movements, and slowly took out a note from his pocket and handed it to White Rose.
"At about nine o'clock in the evening the day before yesterday, was Zhu Wolong in the fireworks?" White Rose took the note and read it.
"That's right." The white rose and the red peony and the Li Yingying nodded together.
Bao Kang turned around mechanically and ran out of the fireworks room, leaving three bewitchingly dressed women stunned.
It was late at night, and Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi walked to the door of the dormitory exhausted. The two of them didn't let anyone else, and squeezed into the dormitory door together.
Ying Xi lay on the bed softly and glanced at Lu Hehuan.
"I'm a detective with a toothbrush and a toilet, and I'm a dead man! It's all your fault! ”
"Didn't I also brush the toilet for a day." Lu Hehuan looked aggrieved.
Ying Xi sat up suddenly, "Can that be the same?" I'm a detective......" Ying Xi was angry and continued, "Those bald bunnies, everyone who goes to the toilet deliberately asks me, 'Detective, can the toilet work?'" They're just gloating! ”
"Why are you so extreme-minded, people obviously respect the fruits of your labor."
Ying Xi glanced at Lu Hehuan again, got up, opened the cabinet, took out peanuts and ate them.
"Have you washed your hands? That's the hand that brushed the toilet. Lu Hehuan looked disgusted.
"Lao Tzu's hands are about to wash off the skin!" Ying Xi roared impatiently.
Lu Hehuan had no choice but to take Ying Xi, he took off his coat, hung it neatly in the cabinet, and then took out a clean sheet.
While eating peanuts, Ying Xi glanced at Lu Hehuan, who was changing the sheets, with dissatisfaction, and sighed heavily.
"The place has to be changed, and the sheets are changed."
"Somewhere?" Lu Hehuan was puzzled.
"Don't forget that Director Bao has given a death order, the case can't be solved, and we both have to get out! Now that Zhu Wolong has finally been caught, he said that he went to the fireworks room at the time of the crime, do you believe it? ”
"Looking at his face, it doesn't look like a lie, and I think for him, beauty may be more attractive to him than murder."
"I don't think this Zhu Wolong is so reliable, answering the question is too much to say that he must be lying, my intuition will not be wrong, he must be the murderer......" Ying Xi suddenly thought of something, got up and leaned over to Lu Hehuan, and lowered his voice, "Let me tell you, this time you don't want to help people cry out for grievances, as long as we push things on Zhu Wolong, Detective Huanxi will be happy." ”
"Everything is happy, this is wronged people, framed and framed." Lu Hehuan refuted bluntly.
"You know what a fart, with Zhu Wolong's wealth, do you think you can condemn him? Even if the person was really killed by him, he can use the money to get away with the crime, this is the matter above, it has nothing to do with us......" Ying Xi was annoyed, stretched out his hand to push Lu He Huan, and forced him: "Do you understand?" ”
"I don't understand." Lu Hehuan straightened his face.
"Are you wood?" Ying Xi was so angry that he pushed Lu Hehuan hard.
"Inspector Ying, don't think about crooked ways anymore, just try to find out the truth." Lu Hehuan persuaded Ying Xi in turn.
"Check it, check it, how to check it if you don't have any clues?" Ying Xi became impatient.
"I'm in charge of finding clues, you can cooperate with me." Lu Hehuan made the bed and comforted Ying Xi calmly.
Ying Xi took off his coat and lay directly on the bed, "Brainless!" ”
"How can I sleep if you occupy the whole bed?" Lu Hehuan motioned for Ying Xi to move his body.
"Love how to sleep how to sleep! Turn off the lights! Ying Xi pretended to be dead.
Lu Hehuan reluctantly turned off the light and squeezed into bed.
Ying Xi snorted coldly and turned his back to Lu He Huan. Lu Hehuan wanted to speak and stopped, pulled the quilt and covered the two of them, but Ying Xi snatched the quilt rudely and monopolized it alone.
The two slept back to back, Ying Xi covered the quilt, and soon there was a snoring sound.
When the cold air hit, Lu Hehuan curled up and pitifully wrapped his arms around himself.
