Xihua Garden, in the restaurant.

As Chu Mufeng walked in, all the noise disappeared, and everyone looked at it nervously, they all wanted to know who was hiding in the dark.

Only by pulling it out can everyone feel at ease.

"Everyone, I believe you should be like me now, you all want to find out this murderer and bring him to justice as soon as possible. Then the question becomes very simple, I am responsible for the investigation and inquiry, and you only need to answer. ”

"If there are no comments, I'm going to start now." Chu Mufeng said unhurriedly after scanning the audience with his eyes.

"Officer Chu, let's start!" Dong Zhuo said after coughing dryly.

"The first thing I want to ask is Lin Pinghe!"

Chu Mufeng looked sideways slightly, and asked with a blazing face: "Lin Pinghe, when Manager Zheng and I went to the church, he said that you went to the church to get a ladder before, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Lin Pinghe didn't have any fear or apprehension, and said naturally: "It's true that I'm going to the church to get a ladder, because the wind and sand just now made the hotel very dirty, and I want to wipe it, this matter was arranged by Manager Zheng, and she can testify to me." ”

"Yes, that's right, I can testify that I told him to get the ladder!" Zheng Yujiao nodded and said.

"Did you get the ladder then?" Chu Mufeng continued to ask.

"Nope!"

Lin Pinghe shook his head, pointed to the side and said: "When I was about to walk to the church, Sister Lou stopped me and asked me to help clean the backyard, so I followed directly, Sister Lou can testify about this, and Master Niu can also testify, because Master Niu was in the kitchen at the time, and Sister Lou and I could be seen cleaning in the backyard." ”

"Peace is right, I did see it, and I can testify!" Niu Gensheng rubbed his hands and said honestly.

"Officer Chu, I called Lin Pinghe to help clean up, this matter was ordered by Boss Dong, he said that the white sand in the front yard can be left alone, but the backyard must be cleaned out quickly, otherwise, if it rains, there will be no way to clean up the backyard, and it will be muddy everywhere."

Lou Yuwei said as a matter of course that the matter explained by the boss is naturally the top priority.

"Is that so? Boss Dong! Chu Mufeng looked to the side.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Dong Zhuo put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Officer Chu, this is the case in our Banxian Hotel, the front yard is hardened, not afraid of sand, but the backyard is different, not to mention the planting of flowers, most places are dirt soil. ”

"If you don't clean up the white sand now, it will be troublesome when it rains. I asked Lou Yuwei to go to Lin Pinghe to solve this matter quickly, that's right, I ordered it! ”

"In this case, Lin Ping and you didn't enter the church, so naturally you didn't see Chu Wuyuan who was hanged, and you didn't move the ladder, right?" Chu Mufeng drew a picture in the void.

"Yes, Officer Chu, I really didn't see it!" Lin Pinghe nodded in response.

"Good! Then the problem is over. ”

Chu Mufeng found that there was no way to continue when this question was asked, so he immediately put it aside and went to find a new entry point, which could be regarded as a technique of interrogation.

Maybe you can start with other questions and you'll find clues in no time.

"My second question is an alibi." Chu Mufeng stood up and said slowly.

"What alibi?" Sun Xiaolong asked a little stunned.

"Let's put it this way, which of you is the last one to see Chu Wuyuan?" Chu Mufeng asked after scanning the audience.

The last time you saw Chu Wuyuan?

"I sat with Chu Wuyuan at lunchtime, but everyone ate here at that time, so it wasn't the last time we saw each other, right?" Gu Zijun raised his hand and said.

"We had dinner at twelve o'clock at noon, Chu Wuyuan was indeed still there at that time, so it shouldn't be the last time we met, what I want to ask is, it's later than this time period, has anyone seen him?" After Chu Mufeng waved his hand to show that Gu Zijun's answer was irrelevant, he continued to ask.

"I didn't see him!"

"Neither do I!"

Sun Da'an and Gan Susu shook their heads, the two of them left the restaurant after eating and returned to their respective rooms, and when they came out again, someone had already shouted that it was snowing, so they had never seen Chu Wuyuan during this period.

"I've seen him." Zheng Yujiao suddenly said aloud.

"What time?" Chu Mufeng asked.

"Half past two in the afternoon!"

Zheng Yujiao thought about it and said, after saying this time, she nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it should be half past two, in fact, it's not just me, Lin Pinghe, Lou Yuwei and Master Niu should have seen it." ”

"At that time, we were in the hall, discussing tomorrow's reception, and Chu Wuyuan happened to walk over from the opposite side. I subconsciously looked at my watch, and it was half past two. ”

"yes, I saw that too."

Niu Gensheng said in a deep voice: "We had a meeting from 2:20, and after a 20-minute meeting, I went back to the kitchen, and I looked at the table below, it was 2:40." Therefore, if you estimate the time, Manager Zheng is right when he says two and a half. ”

"I saw it too!" Lin Pinghe echoed.

"Okay, then the question now is, has anyone seen Chu Wuyuan after half past two?" Chu Mufeng clapped his hands and asked after attracting everyone's attention.

The people at the Half String Hotel all shook their heads, meaning they didn't see it.

"We didn't see it either."

After Gan Susu asked around, Sun Xiaolong and the others also said that they hadn't seen each other after half past two.

Chu Mufeng grasped this point, and said with sharp eyes: "If you say this, things will become very simple, that is to say, after half past two, Chu Wuyuan will lose his trace." ”

"We had dinner at six o'clock, and when we found him missing, we started looking for him, and we found him in the church. In other words, the time when Chu Wuyuan was killed was between half past two and six in the afternoon! ”

"Yes!"

This inference is shared by all.

"Detective Chu, you don't want to ask, between half past two and six o'clock, each of us has an alibi, right?"

"If you ask that, this time period is too long, and in such a long time, we must all have our own actions, isn't this a bit loose and not easy to prove?" Yue Tong asked with a frown.

"That's right, it's really scattered."

Raising his hands and pressing the void, Chu Mufeng continued to follow Yue Tong's words: "So this point in time can't be like this, we must continue to compress, only by compressing it again can we find a clearer clue." ”

"How to compress?" Yue Tong's face was full of curiosity.

When everyone's eyes were focused on themselves, Chu Mufeng said in a deep voice: "When Manager Zheng and I found Chu Wuyuan's body, the exact time should be six o'clock, and on the way from Xihuayuan to the church during this time period, except for the footprints of the two of us, only Lin Pinghe's!" ”

"Of course, when I was close to the church, Lou Yuwei's appeared! Only the footprints of the four of us are the clearest remains, and I would like to ask Manager Zheng, when you asked Lin Pinghe to move the ladder, when was the specific time? ”

"It's half past five!"

Zheng Yujiao said affirmatively: "I just asked him to move the ladder at half past five!" ”

"Half past five! This is when the white sand snow has just begun, right? Chu Mufeng asked.

"That's right! Because we have experience with white sand and snow, we will let him move the ladder at the beginning. I just didn't expect that at this time, Boss Dong asked Lou Yuwei to ask Lin Pinghe to clean the backyard first. Zheng Yujiao said 1510.

"Alright, that's it!"

Chu Mufeng raised his hands in front of him, pointed in the direction of the church and said, "You have all seen that when the white sand snow just got down, Lin Pinghe went to the church to prepare to move the ladder, and when he walked to the door, he was called by Lou Yuwei to help. ”

In other words, Lin Pinghe's shoe prints were left from the beginning of the snow, and if anyone entered the church during this period, he would definitely leave footprints, right? But there were no other people's footprints left on the side of the church, which shows that the murderer definitely did not enter the white sand at half past five, he had already brought Chu Wuyuan's body over before this, and then hanged himself on the beam. ”

When he said this, Chu Mufeng waved his hand very confidently.

"So I compressed the time slot to three hours, from half past two to half past five! Don't tell me that these three hours is still a long time, even if it is long, there is no way, because the murderer killed Chu Wuyuan during this time period, and then moved his body to the church and hung it, and then he left quietly! ”

Chu Mufeng's voice was subdued, and his eyes were bright: "It's this time period, you all tell me where you are?" Who's around? Who can prove that you did not commit a crime during this time period? ”

This is the heavyweight question thrown by Chu Mufeng.

Alibi!

As long as anyone has evidence to prove that there is something wrong with him during this time, it is impossible to say that he did something to Chu Wuyuan, then this matter naturally has nothing to do with him, and it is a very simple but effective question to be able to clear up suspicions.

"Half past two to half past five?"

Yue Tong was the first to raise his hand, and he said very calmly: "I've been with Twilight Xue all this time, and we've never been separated, so we shouldn't be suspicious, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm with Yue Tong!" Jiang Duxue nodded and said.

"You two together? Isn't there anyone else to prove it? Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? Sun Xiaolong said disapprerovingly after hearing this.

"Sun Xiaolong, what kind of bullshit are you putting on, we are just together, do we need anyone else to prove it? You don't want to say that Chu Wuyuan was killed by us, right? ”

"I have no grievances with him Chu Wuyuan, why do you want to kill him? Besides, even if I had to kill someone, would I do it with Twilight? Am I crazy? Or do you think Twilight will go crazy with me? ”

Hearing this, Yue Tong was so angry that he roared on the spot, and a thick anger emanated from his eyebrows.
