Chapter 6 The Beginning of the Suspect

Early the next morning, Lu Hehuan came to the Shuangxi Detective Agency, he looked up at the shop sign, smiled, and walked in.

As soon as Lu Hehuan entered, he saw Liu Rushuang sitting precariously staring at a case file, and Bai Yulou was standing behind him, holding a teacup with a courteous expression.

"Miss Liu, I'm bothering you by visiting rashly."

Lu Hehuan knocked on the door that was knocking, Liu Rushuang raised her head, surprised and delighted, "Lu Hehuan?" What are you doing here? Did Brother Xi ask you to come to me? ”

"It's not Inspector Ying, it's me who I have something to ask for, I wonder if Miss Liu can help me find out who I met on the way home on the day Jin Lu was killed?"

Lu Hehuan expressed his intention, and when Liu Rushuang heard it, his enthusiasm suddenly cooled, and he waved his hand again and again.

"No, no, I can't help you, you stop Brother Xi from closing the case, if I help you, wouldn't I be fighting against Brother Xi."

"I'm not trying to stop Inspector Ying from closing the case, I just want to avoid an unjust case, Miss Liu, I know that you are a famous bag in the old gate, if you are willing to help me, I can also help Inspector Ying close the case earlier." Lu Hehuan did not give up.

"Oh, no, you know Brother Xi's temper, I can't offend him because of you." Liu Rushuang was unmoved, shaking her head and refusing.

"Sister Shuang, in fact, I also think that Sister Hao's mother and son are strange and pitiful, or help Lu Hehuan." Seeing this, Bai Yulou persuaded him on the side.

"If you don't help, don't help, if Brother Xi knows and ignores me in the future, I will be more pitiful than Sister Hao's mother and son."

Liu Rushuang seemed to be iron-hearted, Lu Hehuan saw that she was reluctant to help because she didn't want to offend Ying Xi, thinking of Liu Rushuang's words and deeds in front of Ying Xi, his heart was clear.

"You like Inspector Ying, don't you?" Lu Hehuan was tentative.

"Why should I tell you?" Liu Rushuang deliberately straightened her face.

"Last time you said I Love You to the detective, I heard you."

"Forget you're back from Great Britain." Liu Rushuang was slightly shy when she saw that Ying Xi's feelings were known to others.

"Otherwise, you help me find out about Jinlu, and I will find a way to match you with Inspector Ying?"

Lu Hehuan tested Liu Rushuang again, but when Liu Rushuang heard it, he immediately clapped his hands excitedly.

"Really? It's okay, you can't go back. Liu Rushuang said and stretched out her little finger.

"What does that mean?" Lu Hehuan was puzzled.

"Pull the hook! How can someone believe you without evidence? Hurry up! ”

Lu He smiled and pulled hooks with Liu Rushuang.

"It's a deal."

"Your business is on me, but don't let Brother Xi know that I help you."

Liu Rushuang repeatedly told Lu Hehuan, and Lu Hehuan nodded again and again.

"Don't worry."

When Bai Yulou heard that Lu Hehuan was going to match Liu Rushuang and Ying Xi, his little face was so angry that his little face was hot, and his eyebrows were raised angrily, regretting that he shouldn't have helped Lu Hehuan.

Liu Rushuang's work efficiency and Ying Xi really have a fight, she spread the heroic post widely, gathered many informants under her staff, and for a while, small traders, fortune tellers, shoemakers and other people from all walks of life came one after another, crowded in the Shuangxi Detective Agency.

Liu Rushuang gave an order, everyone listened and nodded, she waved her hand, and everyone scattered. Within a day, everyone returned to the Shuangxi Detective Agency like a hundred birds returning to the forest, Liu Rushuang asked everyone excitedly, everyone shook their heads, Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou showed disappointment.

Liu Rushuang rubbed her temples, and when she didn't know what to do, a fortune teller came in with a hexagram flag, he raised his hand, approached Liu Rushuang and whispered, Liu Rushuang smiled and nodded while listening.

Guangming Cinema is the largest cinema in Jiuzha, and the poster of movie star Hu Yiman is posted on the outer wall of the theater, and pedestrians can't help but stop and marvel when they pass by.

Liu Rushuang dressed as a man, wearing a cap and sunglasses, wandered at the door of the Guangming Cinema like a thief, causing people to watch the movie to cover their bags or pockets to prevent the "thief" from attacking.

Lu Hehuan received the news from Bai Yulou and made an appointment with Liu Rushuang to meet at the door of the Guangming Cinema, but he searched for a long time, but never saw Liu Rushuang appear, just when he thought that the other party had missed the appointment, he was slapped on the shoulder, and Lu Hehuan was startled.

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Hehuan questioned the visitor, and the other party took off his sunglasses, it was Liu Rushuang.

"It's me."

"Willow ......"

Lu Hehuan was surprised, and Liu Rushuang hurriedly put her finger to her lips to silence her.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

"You can't let Brother Xi see me helping you, otherwise he will definitely be angry with me." Liu Rushuang lowered her voice.

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" Lu Hehuan felt that Liu Rushuang was a little humble in love.

"Of course, as for it, my interest in Brother Xi is like your interest in the truth, in one word, persistence." Liu Rushuang took it for granted.

Lu Hehuan joked when he heard it, "This is a bit of the demeanor of an inspector." ”

"Really?" Liu Rushuang only thought that Lu Hehuan was as compatible as Ying Xi, and asked happily.

"Hurry up and get down to business." Lu Hehuan was in a hurry to solve the case and urged Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang approached Lu Hehuan and lowered her voice, "I mobilized all my informants to investigate, and they found out that someone saw Jin Lu leaving the dance hall in a rickshaw that day. ”

"That's all?"

Liu Rushuang nodded.

β€œTha

k you。 ”

"Got it?"

Liu Rushuang handed Lu Hehuan a meaningful look, and Lu Hehuan was stunned.

"Understand what?"

Liu Rushuang said in a matter-of-fact manner, "On the way to Jin Lu's murder, the rickshaw driver was seriously suspected. ”

Lu Hehuan nodded, "Makes sense." ”

"This is the address of Jin Lu's house."

Liu Rushuang smiled, and took out a note and stuffed it to Lu Hehuan, Lu Hehuan was about to go to Jin Lu's house, but she didn't expect that Liu Rushuang had already prepared it intimately, and she was overjoyed.

"Thank you, ...... Liu"

Liu Rushuang glared and looked around, Lu Hehuan swallowed back the words raw.

"Don't forget what you said."

Liu Rushuang reminded Lu Hehuan, turning her face sideways in embarrassment, her big eyes bent into a small moon, and her face flushed.

Lu Hehuan thought for a moment and realized, "Okay, I remember." ”

Liu Rushuang lowered the brim of her hat and ran away.

Ying Xi Jiaoerlang walked into the police station locally, saw Bao Kang in front of him, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Hello Director Bao."

Ying Xi's voice is really crisp and pleasant, which makes people have to suspect that he usually hums a little song to prepare for greeting the leader.

Bao Kang nodded with satisfaction, Ying Xi remembered something, took out a small box from his pocket, and handed it to Bao Kang flatteringly.

"Director Bao, I caught some worms for Miss Ah Hua yesterday."

Bao Kang took the small box with satisfaction, "Well, even if you have a heart, Ah Hua will definitely like it." ”

"Director Bao, I'll go to work first."

"Okay." Bao Kang suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Jin Lu's case is tight, because of Lu Hehuan's bastard before, the chief inspector has misunderstood us, we must behave well and save the image of the police department." ”

"Yes." Ying Xi patted his chest and promised.

Bao Kang swore with a swear on his face, "The case must be solved within five days!" ”

"Huh?" Ying Xi suddenly panicked, knowing that this time his chest was bigger.

"Difficult?"

"Nope!" Ying Xi stiffened his head and made a loud noise.

At the entrance of the Paramount Ballroom gathered three or five coachmen waiting for work. A coachman couldn't help but stretch his neck to glance at the fancy world in the ballroom, but was fiercely whitened by the doorman, and the coachman immediately retracted.

Lu Hehuan walked over and handed a photo of Jin Lu to one of the coachmen.

"Brother, have you ever seen this woman?"

"I've seen it, dancing in the ballroom, and I don't miss it." The driver pointed to the photo and nodded.

"When was the last time you saw her?" Lu Hehuan saw some eyebrows, and hurriedly asked.

The coachman scratched his head and thought for a while, "At about seven o'clock last night, she usually wouldn't leave so early, and the ballroom was bustling with activity. ”

"Who took her?"

The coachman thought for a moment, "Big root." ”

"Big roots? Do you know where he lives? ”

The coachman nodded hesitantly.

There was a burst of frolic sounds from the office of the police officer of the old gate police station, and several police officers were playing cards and some were sleeping.

"Do you know it's work time?"

Ying Xi walked in and saw that the police officers were undisciplined, and couldn't help yelling.

"Is the case closed? Have you given yourself a holiday? ”

The police panicked, those who played cards quickly put away their cards, and those who slept hurriedly got up.

"How's Jin Lu's case going? Has Dabao pleaded guilty? Ying Xi looked around at the police officer and asked fiercely.

A few police officers only promised, you look at me, I look at you, and shook their heads together.

Ying Xi was so angry that he opened Haikou in front of Bao Kang, but now he can't take it back, so he can only urge his subordinates to hurry up and investigate the case, and he hit several people on the head.

"A bunch of rice buckets! I warn you, Director Bao has already inquired into this case, so be diligent! If Dabao does not confess his sins within five days, one of you will stand up for me to confess! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered up and got busy.

Dagen's family is in a slum area by the Suzhou Creek, with low-rise houses.

Lu Hehuan knocked on the door, Dagen's wife limped to open the door when she heard the sound, his wife was in her thirties, she looked gentle and virtuous, and her coarse cloth clothes were washed white.

"You are?" Dagen's wife poked her head out, curious and a little wary.

"I'm ......" Lu Hehuan thought that he had been fired from the police station, and introduced himself with little confidence, "Oh, I'm Lu Hehuan, an agent at the old gate police station." ”

Dagen's wife paused, and Dagen's voice came from inside, "Who?" ”

"It's an officer from the Old Gate Police Station." Dagen's wife turned around and told her husband.

"Let the officer in."

Lu Hehuan followed Dagen's wife into the house, the house was poorly furnished, and Dagen's wife was embarrassed to wipe the stool with a rag.

"Sit, officer." Dagen walked over, bowed his waist, and greeted Lu Hehuan warmly.

"Did you disturb your dinner?" Lu Hehuan glanced at the food on the table and sincerely apologized.

Dagen smiled, "No, no, do you want to eat something together?" ”

Lu He smiled, "No need, thank you." ”

Dagen's wife removed the dishes and chopsticks, and Lu Hehuan saw her limp into the kitchen.

"The officer is looking for me?" Before Lu Hehuan could speak, Dagen took the initiative to ask.

Lu Hehuan came back to his senses and took out the photo, "Have you ever seen this woman?" ”

Dagen glanced at the photo, Lu Hehuan stared at Dagen, carefully observing his expression, hoping to catch clues, but Dagen just nodded calmly.

"Yes, the dancer at Paramount Ballroom, I was the one who brought her home the night before."

"Her name is Jin Lu, and the police station received a report today that she was murdered, and the time of the crime was the night before yesterday, but the murderer has not been caught yet."

Dagen glanced at the photo again, looking incredulous, "She...... She's dead? ”

Lu Hehuan looked at Dagen intently, and Dagen was stared at a little uneasy.

"Officer, you don't suspect that I killed her, do you?"

"Don't be nervous, everyone Jin Lu came into contact with the night before yesterday was suspicious, and I was just conducting a routine investigation."

"I sent the woman home the night before yesterday and called it a day." Ogen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained.

"Do you remember what time Jin Lu arrived home?"

Ogen thought for a moment, "It seems like it's past eight o'clock." ”

Lu Hehuan's brain was running rapidly, and Bao Ying told her that Jin Lu's time of death was around nine o'clock in the evening, which means that if Dagen didn't lie, then he should be able to get rid of suspicion.

"Can anyone prove it?"

Dagen thought for a while, "Oh, by the way, I ran into her neighbor when I sent Jinlu home, you can go and ask." ”

When Lu Hehuan heard this, he hurriedly said goodbye to Dagen and went straight to Jin Lu's house.

Lu Hehuan came to Jin Lu's house according to the address given to her by Liu Rushuang, Jin Lu's residence is located in Jinjia Lane next to Huaihua Lane, she lives in a small bungalow, although it is a western-style building, but it looks dilapidated on the outside, I heard that it was her old house given to her by her earlier friend.

Lu Hehuan saw that a seal had been affixed to the door of Jin Lu's house, so he moved and knocked on the door of Jin Lu's neighbor's house.

A middle-aged woman opened the door, and Lu Hehuan nodded politely to the middle-aged woman.

"Hello, I'm Lu Hehuan, a police officer at the Jiuzha Police Station, and I have something I want to know from you."

"It's Jinlu's business, right? I heard that she was killed, and she deserved to be killed as a dancer to seduce her husband. "The neighbors had long heard that Jin Lu had been killed, and there was a great deal of joy in their words.

Lu Hehuan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly asked, "The night before yesterday, did you see a rickshaw driver send Jin Lu back?" ”

The middle-aged woman thought for a while and nodded, "See, it's about eight o'clock, I heard a knock outside, but when I opened the door, I found that no one knocked on the door, only to see Jin Lu next door coming back in a rickshaw." ”

"Are you sure it's a knock on the door?" Lu Hehuan asked for confirmation.

"I'm not sure, maybe it's the wind blowing."

"Is there anything suspicious about that rickshaw driver after delivering the golden dew?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "I saw Jin Lu get out of the car, and the rickshaw driver left, nothing suspicious." ”

"Did Jin Lu go out again after coming home?"

The woman in the middle shook her head again, "I don't know. ”

Lu Hehuan finally found a suspect, but found that Dagen did not have the time to commit the crime, and couldn't help frowning.

"Thanks, excuse me."

Lu Hehuan left in frustration.

In the autopsy room of the police station, Jin Lu's body was placed on the morgue, and Bao Ying was dissecting the body. The air was filled with a hint of the mixed smell of blood and the fat powder on Jin Lu's body.

Ying Xi pushed the door in, burning like ants on a hot pot, bringing a touch of life to the cold autopsy room.

"Xiao Ying, did you find any evidence that Sister Hao and Dabao killed people? Like hair, buttons, nail marks, etc.? ”

"No, now we can only be sure that the wound on the head was caused by a stone blow."

"Got it." Ying Xi was a little irritable, and he decided to find other ways to convict Sister Hao and Dabao.

Lu Hehuan didn't give up, and came to Dagen's house again, he knocked on the door, and after a while, Dagen's wife opened the door.

"Sorry to bother you again."

"It's okay, come in."

"No, I have a few questions for you."

Lu Hehuan stood at the door, Dagen's wife was no longer reluctant, and nodded.

"What time did Dagen come back the night before yesterday?"

Dagen's wife thought for a moment, "Around nine o'clock." ”

"Did Dagen go out after finishing work?"

"No, I accidentally sprained my foot two days ago." Dagen's wife said and lowered her head embarrassedly, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I can't even go to the thatched house alone, my big root ran home to take care of me as soon as he finished work, no, now the foot injury is slowly getting better." ”

Lu Hehuan looked at Dagen's wife's feet, and he noticed it the first time he came, "How did you sprain your foot?" ”

"I didn't walk long, and I fell."

Dagen's wife smiled, this smile was so sincere that Lu Hehuan couldn't bear to continue to ask.

"You recuperate, I'm leaving."

Lu Hehuan nodded and turned to leave.

Lu Hehuan walked to the door of Dagen's neighbor's house, and happened to catch a glimpse of a seven or eight-year-old child squatting on the ground fighting crickets, so he stepped forward to ask.

Lu Hehuan squatted down and smiled at the child, "Your crickets are so powerful." ”

The child is overjoyed to hear the compliments from the adults, especially the praise of his own toys, and smiles shyly.

"Little brother, can I ask you a question?" Lu Hehuan saw that the child was not afraid of life, so he took advantage of the situation to ask.

The child looked at Lu Hehuan and nodded.

"Do you know when Uncle Ogone came back the night before last?" Lu Hehuan asked while pointing to Dagen's house.

The child thought for a moment and moved his eyes, "Nine o'clock in the evening." ”

"How do you remember so clearly?" Lu Hehuan was a little puzzled.

"At that time, I was playing with crickets in front of my house, and I heard Uncle Dagen's door ringing, and then Aunt Dagen spoke, saying, 'It's nine o'clock, why did you come back?' ”

Lu Hehuan nodded and continued to ask, "What happened later?" Did Uncle Ogen go out? ”

"No, the lights in his house are all out, so I went back to sleep."

Lu Hehuan frowned slightly, now Dagen is not suspected of committing a crime at all.

"Thank you, little brother."

Lu Hehuan turned around and left, running around for a long time, as if an iron block was tied to his leg, and he walked towards the police station step by step.

As the afternoon sun warmly shone into the room, Bao Kang leaned back in his chair with a happy face, his feet on the desk, and he was at ease.

The phone ringing on the table suddenly broke the coziness unfamiliarly, and Bao Kang picked up the phone a little impatiently.

"Who?" Bao Kang yelled at the other party.

"It's me, Gordon."

When Bao Kang heard this, he was so frightened that he was sleepy, and immediately sat up straight, although Gordon couldn't see it, he also showed a smile on his face with courtesy, and even his voice was much softer.

"It turned out to be the chief inspector, you called ...... in person" Bao Kang thought that Gordon was going to promote him, and his heart was overjoyed, "Is it my promotion......

Before Bao Kang could say anything, Gordon on the other end of the phone roared.

"Jin Lu's case has a big impact, and if you solve the case in two days, I guarantee that you will not be demoted, u

de

sta

d? ”

Gordon's thick tenor voice "swished" into Bao Kang's ears and eyes wrapped in electricity, and Bao Kang couldn't help but move the phone out.

"Two days?" Bao Kang began to have a hard time.

"What? Didn't you say before that the Old Gate Police Station has cracked a series of major cases that can be called strange cases, and two days is enough time for such a trivial matter as the death of a person. Gordon's anger continued to bubble up from the microphone.

"But ......"

Without waiting for Bao Kang to finish speaking, Gordon hung up the phone, Bao Kang held the phone like a hot potato, scratching his head helplessly. Like Ying Xi, it's bad luck to talk big again.
