Chapter 44: Luring the Serpent Out of the Hole
Liu Rushuang paced back and forth in the Shuangxi Detective Agency with her hands behind her back, and Bai Yulou sat on a chair, her head moving with Liu Rushuang.
"Sister Shuang, you've been shaking all morning, and I'm so dizzy." Bai Yulou shook his neck and continued to complain, "My neck is sore." β
Liu Rushuang stopped and snorted coldly, "Who told you to follow me?" Deserve! β
"You have something on your mind, and people are in a hurry." Bai Yulou looked aggrieved.
"If you're in a hurry, help me find a way! Brother Xi is now a bunker, I have to find a way to break it! β
Bai Yulou pursed his lips and blew his fingernails, "I see those dancing girls in Paramount one after another, and I haven't seen how difficult Yingxi's bunker is, hmph, I think he is just pretending with you!" β
Liu Rushuang bit her lip and nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, since Brother Xi can accept those dancing girls, why can't he accept me?" She walked up to Bai Yulou and approached Bai Yulou with both hands on the tabletop.
Bai Yulou looked ignorant, and his eyes were full of fear.
Suddenly, Liu Rushuang had a flash of inspiration and was overjoyed, "Baibai, help me change my image!" β
"What kind of image?" Bai Yulou was confused.
Liu Rushuang smiled mysteriously, "The image of a dancing girl." β
The door of the forensic office of the police station was open, Bao Ying sat at the desk, and Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi stood aside.
Bao Ying handed Dabao's autopsy report to Lu Hehuan, "This is Dabao's autopsy report, the alcohol concentration in the stomach is very high, and he should be in a state of severe drunkenness when he dies." β
Lu Hehuan looked at the autopsy report and frowned slightly, but Ying Xi looked proud.
"I'll just say it was an accident, right? Dabao was in a state of severe drunkenness, confused and emotionally manic, and drove the car into the river. Yue Xiaodong was extremely frightened and only cared about self-preservation, so Dabao drowned. β
After hearing Ying Xi's words, Bao Ying couldn't help frowning, "If I were Yue Xiaodong, when Dabao was about to drive the car into the river, he might subconsciously help with the steering wheel, and he wouldn't sit still." β
"That's what I thought." Lu Hehuan looked at Bao Ying excitedly.
"Xiaoying, Yue Xiaodong is different from you, you read poetry and books, she is just a dancer......"
"Inspector Ying, let's go to the river and look at the rut marks again." Lu Hehuan interrupted Ying Xi.
"Just kidding, huh? It's been a few days, how can there be any rut marks? Ying Xi crossed his arms and looked sarcastic.
"Just come with me."
Ying Xi didn't know why, and hesitated to leave with Lu Hehuan.
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi came to the Suzhou Creek, because of the recent murder, almost all the nearby residents no longer approached the river.
There are several mats by the river, and a police officer stands next to them. When the police saw Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi coming over, they hurriedly greeted them.
"Inspector Ying, Agent Land."
"Good work." Lu Hehuan nodded to the officer.
"It should."
Lu Hehuan leaned over and lifted a few mats covering the river, Ying Xi leaned over and found that the rut marks were actually there.
"I was worried that the rut marks would be useful, so I asked people to cover the rut marks with mats to protect the scene." Lu Hehuan explained.
Ying Xi suddenly smiled with realization, "Okay, my mind is quite fine." β
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi squatted on the ground, looking intently at the rut marks on the ground.
"Strange ......" Ying Xi rubbed his beard and muttered in a low voice.
"The direction of the rut mark is to follow the river and then turn straight into the river." Lu Hehuan used his hand to compare the angle between the rut mark and the river, and continued, "The rut mark is at an angle of 70 degrees to the riverside, if you drive in a drunk state, the wheel deviates and drives into the river, this angle will not exceed 30 degrees at most...... This 70-degree angle should be caused by slamming the steering wheel. β
"Could it be that Dabao urgently avoided and turned the car into the river?" Ying Xi speculated.
"This road is sparsely populated, so there should be nothing to avoid." Lu Hehuan questioned.
"So he was driving the car when he suddenly went crazy, slammed the steering wheel, and drove the car into the river? Could it be that Yue Xiaodong said something that stimulated him? β
"It may also be that when Dabao was driving normally, Yue Xiaodong slammed the steering wheel." Lu Hehuan said thoughtfully.
"Yue Xiaodong wants to commit suicide?" After Ying Xi finished speaking, he felt that it was too ridiculous, and quickly changed his words, "No, Yue Xiaodong wants to be martyred with Dabao?" β
Lu Hehuan smiled helplessly, and asked rhetorically, "Inspector Ying, you are a frequent visitor to Paramount, have you ever seen a dancer martyrdom with a guest?" β
"And what do you mean?"
Lu Hehuan didn't speak, frowned, and fell into deep thought, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses.
"I'm not sure yet, but there's one thing to verify."
As soon as the bosom friend building returned to its tranquility during the day, Lu Hehuan walked in with Ying Xi, and the old bustard greeted him with a smile.
"Yo, Brother Xi, came to play so early?"
"I'm not here to play, I'm asking you something." Ying Xi is not smiling.
When the old bustard heard this, he immediately put away his smile and stood aside solemnly, "Inspector Ying, what do you want to ask?" β
Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan sideways, Lu Hehuan understood and nodded.
"Do you know Yue Xiaodong?"
"Yue Xiaodong?" The old bustard pondered for a moment, "I've seen it once, and it looks pretty good." β
"It's not for you to judge her looks." Ying Xi interjected dissatisfiedly.
"Where did you see Yue Xiaodong?" Lu Hehuan asked.
"Right here, someone recommended her to come to work with me, but I didn't agree."
"Is the person who recommended her Li Yingying?" Lu Hehuan asked tentatively.
"How do you know?" The old bustard was surprised.
Lu Hehuan didn't answer, his face was serious, "Do you know how Yue Xiaodong and Li Yingying met?" β
"Oh, they're fellows."
Lu Hehuan nodded thoughtfully, "The two of them should be more than just fellow countrymen, I have observed that the movements of the two people brushing their hair are almost identical, and they must be together for a long time before they assimilate each other." β
Ying Xi glanced at Lu Hehuan, "I know a lot." β
"That's what husband and wife are." Lu Hehuan explained.
The old bustard nodded, "The relationship between Li Yingying and Yue Xiaodong is very good, two months ago, Yingying brought Yue Xiaodong to our bosom friend building......
Two months ago, Li Yingying brought Yue Xiaodong, who was dressed in coarse cloth, to the old bustard. Yue Xiaodong was facing the sky, and there was no rouge on his face, and some were just the naivety of a country girl.
Li Yingying smiled and introduced to the old bustard, "Sister Lili, this is my good sister, called Yue Xiaodong, we are fellow villagers, now the war is in chaos, I can't stay at home, I want to come here to wander around." β
The old bustard looked at Yue Xiaodong and nodded with satisfaction, "It looks pretty good, what will it be?" β
"Sister Lili, I can dance." Yue Xiaodong smiled hard and said flatteringly.
"Where's the drinking?"
"I can't drink too much."
"The main reason why guests come to our bosom friend building is to drink, what should you do if you can't drink?" The old bustard looked embarrassed.
"Sister Lili, can you help me think of a way, this is my good sister." Li Yingying said good things on the side.
The old bustard thought for a moment, "Well, one of my sisters is the top brand in Paramount, and I will introduce you there, and there will be a dance." β
"Thank you, Sister Lili." Yue Xiaodong nodded happily.
The old bustard said and looked at Lu Hehuan, "...... Later, I introduced her to Paramount, and I heard that she was doing a good job. β
Lu Hehuan nodded thoughtfully.
Suddenly, the old bustard remembered something, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face, "At the beginning, the two of them were so good that they ran together as soon as they got off work, and they were inseparable, but I don't know why, suddenly one day the two of them were estranged, and they didn't say anything when they met." Once Yue Xiaodong accompanied a guest to our place for a drink, and the two of them met like strangers. β
Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi, "There must be something wrong with the hidden relationship between the two of them." β
The old bustard was frightened by Lu Hehuan's words, and covered his chest uneasily, "Officer, what's wrong with them?" β
"Don't ask what you shouldn't." Ying Xi impatiently warned the bustard.
The old bustard nodded obediently, "Got it, Inspector Ying." β
Lu Hehuan signaled Ying Xi with his eyes, Ying Xi agreed, and then straightened his face, "We asked you what you are not allowed to reveal to others, do you know?" β
The old bustard nodded hurriedly.
"Let's go." Lu Hehuan said and left with Ying Xi.
The streets of Shanghai are bustling with traffic. Lu Hehuan walked on the street with Ying Xi.
Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan and rubbed his beard, "In my opinion, Li Yingying and Yue Xiaodong must have changed from best friends to strangers because of Dabao, do you think, if you are robbed of a man by your best friend, can the two of them be okay?" This big treasure is really, why did he have an adulterous affair with his wife's best friend? β
"Maybe you're only half right."
Ying Xi didn't know why, and looked at Lu Hehuan, but Lu Hehuan stopped talking mysteriously.
"What do you think?" Ying Xi's curiosity attacked.
Lu Hehuan didn't answer, he raised his eyes and saw a cafΓ© at the corner of the street, and suddenly missed the mellow aroma of coffee, so he stopped to look at Ying Xi, "Inspector Ying, have you ever drunk coffee?" β
Ying Xi shook his head.
"I invite you."
Ying Xi smiled evilly, "Reward you for this face." β
Lu Hehuan walked to the cafΓ© with Ying Xi.
Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi walked into the cafΓ©, there were few customers inside, and the waiter was dozing off at the counter. The two of them specially chose a remote corner to sit down.
The waiter came over and warmly entertained Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi.
"What do you two want?"
βCoffee latteοΌTha
k youγ Lu Hehuan habitually spoke English.
The waiter turned to look at Ying Xi, "What about you, this gentleman?" β
Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan with some embarrassment and lowered his voice, "What did you want just now?" β
"Latte, a type of coffee."
Ying Xi frowned, "Iron can't do it, my teeth can't stand it." β
βlatteοΌtooγβ Lu Hehuan looked at the waiter with a smile and replied for Yingxi.
The waiter nodded politely and left.
Ying Xi pursed his lips disdainfully, "I can't get used to seeing these foreign things." β
Lu Hehuan smiled helplessly.
After a while, the waiter brought two cups of coffee and placed them in front of Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi respectively.
"You two, please use it slowly." The waiter turned and walked away.
Ying Xi ignored it, picked up the cup and took a big sip, but it squirted out directly. Lu Hehuan hurriedly took a tissue to help Ying Xi wipe it.
"How is it like cat pee?" Ying Xi grimaced.
"Have you ever drunk cat urine?" Lu Hehuan asked with a smile.
Ying Xi glared at Lu Hehuan and wiped his mouth angrily, "This thing is too unpleasant." β
"I think it's good." Lu Hehuan took a small sip and enjoyed it.
"I'm not interested in coffee, let's talk about the case." Ying Xi shook his head and hurriedly diverted the topic.
"There's nothing more to say about the case, I've figured it out."
Ying Xi nodded solemnly, "I also think I can close the case." β
"Huh?" Lu Hehuan raised his eyebrows.
Ying Xi leaned back, "After Dabao married Li Yingying, he fell in love with Li Yingying's sister Yue Xiaodong, the two hit it off, and cheated on Li Yingying behind their backs, but they were broken by Li Yingying. So Li Yingying and Yue Xiaodong turned their faces, and the two became the most familiar strangers from best friends. Li Yingying returned home and gave an ultimatum to Dabao, and Dabao went to have a showdown with Yue Xiaodong. Because he was reluctant to Yue Xiaodong, Dabao drank a lot of wine when he went to find Yue Xiaodong, and then drove away from Paramount with Yue Xiaodong to Suzhou Creek. Dabao wanted to cut off Yue Xiaodong in two, which angered Yue Xiaodong, and she was excited to do something stupid for a while, so the accident happened. β
The cafΓ© gradually became more and more customer-oriented, and a tram passed by outside, making a sizzling sound.
Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan, "The reason why Yue Xiaodong didn't call the police is because he was afraid that he would be held accountable because of his impulsiveness......"
"You're only half right." Lu Hehuan interrupted Ying Xi.
"Half again?"
"Have you ever wondered, why did Yue Xiaodong deny knowing Li Yingying?"
"It's normal for two women to make a feud for a man, maybe in her heart she doesn't know Li Yingying." Ying Xi replied without thinking.
Lu Hehuan shook his head, "My intuition tells me that Yue Xiaodong and Li Yingying are inseparable from Dabao's death. β
"You're suspicious again." Ying Xi shook his head helplessly.
Lu Hehuan took a sip of coffee, thought about it, and looked up at Ying Xi, "Why don't you plan a 'good show' and test the two of them?" β
"How to tempt?" Ying Xi's appetite was hoisted.
Lu He smiled and said nothing, his eyes mysterious.
In broad daylight, the officers were busy going back and forth in the corridors. Suddenly, the sound of high-heeled shoes sounded in the hallway, and the police officers passing by stopped to watch.
Liu Rushuang was wearing a bright red cheongsam, stepping on high heels, draping her wavy hair, wearing gorgeous makeup, and walked awkwardly towards the police office with the support of Bai Yulou.
"In vain, Brother Xi will be amazed by me, right?" Liu Rushuang asked as she walked.
"Who knows what that weirdo thinks." Bai Yulou pursed his lips and said sourly.
"Am I beautiful?" Liu Rushuang was not at ease and asked again.
"Needless to say? It's just a sinking fish, a goose, a moon and a shy flower! Bai Yulou replied very happily this time.
"That'll do." Liu Rushuang danced happily.
The door of the police officer's office was open, and Lu Hehuan was crouching in front of the desk, looking at Li Yingying's handwriting on the confession, while imitating Li Yingying's handwriting and writing a note.
"What are you doing here?" Ying Xi stared at the note and asked.
"Imitate Li Yingying's handwriting and write a note to Yue Xiaodong." Lu Hehuan replied as he wrote.
"Why?"
"Ask them out to meet, how can the two of them start the scene if they don't meet?"
Ying Xi rubbed his beard for some reason.
Lu Hehuan wrote the note and looked at Ying Xi with a sideways face, "Give me Yue Xiaodong's confession, and I will imitate Yue Xiaodong's handwriting to write a note for Li Yingying." β
Ying Xi took a confession and handed it to Lu Hehuan. Lu Hehuan looked at Yue Xiaodong's signature on the confession and began to imitate Yue Xiaodong's handwriting to write letters.
Ying Xi stood behind Lu Hehuan, reading the note while reading the words on it, "At five o'clock in the evening, meet under the Waibaidu Bridge, there is something important to discuss......"
After Lu Hehuan finished writing the note, he held a note in his left and right hands and handed it to Ying Xi, "The note on my left hand is for Li Yingying, and the note on my right hand is for Yue Xiaodong, now send someone to send it to them separately, don't get confused." Remember, don't let our people show up. β
"What do you mean?" Ying Xi was completely confused.
"Watch the show! Let's go. β
Ying Xi followed Lu Hehuan with a confused face and was about to go out, Liu Rushuang suddenly appeared at the door, she put one arm on the door frame, posing in a sexy pose, Ying Xi was scared.
"Brother Xi......" Liu Rushuang's voice was charming.
"You, you speak well." Ying Xi got goosebumps and interrupted Liu Rushuang irritably.
Liu Rushuang threw a wink at Ying Xi, "Am I beautiful today?" β
Ying Xi looked Liu Rushuang up and down in disgust, with a displeased face, "Is today the Qingming Festival?" β
"No, it's not." Liu Rushuang is unknown.
"Then why are you dressed like a ghost?" Ying Xi was ruthless.
"Isn't it pretty?" Liu Rushuang blinked.
Ying Xi shook his head violently and retched exaggeratedly, "Not only is it not good-looking, but it is also disgusting." β
"Aren't all the dancers at Paramount like that?" Liu Rushuang was deflated, like an inflated balloon being punctured.
Ying Xi laughed dryly, "Just kidding, it's a lot, people are charming and sexy in their bones, you are pretending, it's really disgusting." β
"Brother Xi, people have been busy all morning for this look." Liu Rushuang pulled the ends of her hair aggrievedly.
"Then you can change back to your original appearance in the afternoon." Ying Xi was extremely impatient.
Liu Rushuang's eyes lit up again when she heard this, and she looked happy, "Brother Xi, do you still like the way I am?" β
"I don't like it, I just don't like it." Ying Xi replied impatiently.
Bai Yulou couldn't get used to Ying Xi sneering at Liu Rushuang, and angrily stretched out his orchid finger and pointed at Ying Xi, "Ying Xi, you are too much!" Sister Shuang took great pains for you, but you slandered her, is it easy for Sister Shuang to be a girl? β
Ying Xi straightened his face and raised his chin fearlessly, "I'll tell you the truth, if you don't like to listen to it, please don't send it." β
"You!" Bai Yulou qi knot.
Liu Rushuang on the side was stunned in place, her eyes red.
"If Miss Liu is okay, will she go to the theater with us?" Lu Hehuan hurriedly started the round.
Liu Rushuang immediately came to her senses, and nodded heartlessly, "Okay, I love watching dramas the most!" β
In the evening, the red sun is slanting westward, and the Waibaidu Bridge is inaccessible.
Liu Rushuang, who was wearing heavy makeup, and Bai Yulou hid in the flowers next to the bridge, and a group of bees buzzed around Liu Rushuang, Liu Rushuang was too troubled to drive away the bees, and Bai Yulou was also helping on the side.
"What's going on? Why are the bees following me? Liu Rushuang was irritable.
Bai Yulou looked at Liu Rushuang's heavy makeup, and suddenly realized, "My powder is made of pollen, maybe you use it a little too much." β
"What then?" Liu Rushuang had a bitter face.
Bai Yulou took out a silk handkerchief and looked at Liu Rushuang affectionately, "Wipe it." β
Liu Rushuang took the silk handkerchief and rubbed it hard, and instantly turned into a big flower face, and the bees gradually dispersed.
Seeing this, Liu Rushuang glanced at Bai Yulou with resentment, "Sure enough, there is something wrong with your powder." β
Bai Yulou was not angry, but looked at Liu Rushuang's face and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Rushuang said angrily.
"Nothing." Bai Yulou immediately held back a laugh.
Liu Rushuang glared at Bai Yulou fiercely, and then poked her head out of the flowers slightly to observe the situation.
Not far from the two, Ying Xi and Bao Kang were hiding behind the bushes and waiting. Not far away, Lu Hehuan hid behind a big tree, holding a dagger in his hand.
Bao Kang glanced at Baidu Bridge outside the sky, and looked at Ying Xi, "Are you sure the truth will be revealed in a while?" β
"Sure." Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan not far away, and replied stubbornly.
"If I come for nothing, I will look good with you." Bao Kang said the ugly words first.
Ying Xi blinked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Liu Rushuang stared intently at the Waibaidu Bridge in the distance, and suddenly, a figure flashed on the bridge.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Liu Rushuang exclaimed in a low voice.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly hid it.
