Not a coincidence, certainly not a coincidence.

On the way to find Liu Xiangui again, Xingshu kept repeating this sentence in his mind - at the beginning of Xingshu, he really thought that learning what happened to Liu Xiangui and others back then was just an accident and just a coincidence, after all, he, Chen Taidong and Ma Fei inadvertently walked into Liu Xiangui's hotel, and they were not deliberately brought in. But later, when he and Ma Fei inquired about the news in the town, they found that as long as the elderly here, they basically knew about the incident, but they didn't know the inside story, and some people even told this story to tourists as a so-called "travel story", and took the opportunity to sell some souvenirs of Qinglian Town.

When the two went to Liu Xiangui's hotel again, they saw two police officers from the police station standing there, talking to Liu Xiangui's son, the owner of the hotel.

The torture technique stopped slightly, signaled Ma Fei not to ask anything, and then walked into the restaurant, pretending to eat, and took the opportunity to listen to what the hotel owner and the police said.

Although Liu Xiangui only disappeared for less than two hours, the boss called the police, the reason is that Liu Xiangui was reluctant to leave the hotel too far from a certain year, because he was very afraid, afraid that he would not be able to go back if he left the hotel, why? Liu Xiangui didn't tell his son either, but everyone in the town knew about it, and knew that this Liu madman squatted at the door of the hotel all day long, muttering something to himself, and from time to time he would light a dry cigarette and smoke, but he would never go far.

This is also one of the important reasons why the police did not simply appease the hotel owner when they received the report, but came directly to understand the situation.

The police quickly left and summoned the assistant police to start investigating Liu Xiangui's whereabouts in the town, and the restaurant owner was also extremely anxious and had no heart to cook and stir-fry. Xingshu and Ma Fei just ate some ready-made things and returned to the villa, telling Chen Taidong what they had learned.

After hearing this, Chen Taidong immediately said: "We can't wait any longer, we have to leave immediately, something really happened." ”

Ma Fei was puzzled: "Why did Liu Xiangui disappear?" Could it be because we asked him about the things of the year and were known by Liu Baogu's eyeliner? ”

Chen Taidong said: "No matter what it is, we can't stay here for a long time, I'm afraid that sooner or later the police will find out about us, after all, before Liu Xiangui disappeared, only we had a detailed conversation with him, and the police will list us as suspects, even if we can clear the suspicion, it will take too long." ”

Xingshu immediately called to recall She Caixiang and Sikong Yan, who had not yet bought all the things, and the five people left immediately after locking the villa, first going to the nearest city Jiangyou, and then to Qingliangou.

At the same time that Xingshu and the others left Qinglian Town in embarrassment, they had already arrived in Foshan, Guangdong, and finally found the martial arts hall opened by Cai Nayun, and the three of them, Fu Mingwei, Chen Fang, and Dong Guozhi, also got an extremely surprising fact - Cai Nayun had died on the eve of their arrival.

In the conference room of the criminal police team in the jurisdiction of Cai Nayun's case, Fu Mingwei and the three of them looked through the materials, and the colleagues of the criminal police team in the jurisdiction left enough space for them to leave the conference room and let them look through the materials and photos of the crime scene by themselves.

Chen Fang looked at the photos of the crime scene and said: "He killed and disguised himself as suicide, and his methods are so inferior, why?" ”

Dong Guozhi was silent, he had been holding his breath in his heart, he had planned to do something, and then he returned to the Cultural Relics Investigation Department, he didn't want to come here at all, but when he knew that Cai Nayun was killed, and also saw the information at the scene of the crime, plus the detailed information about Jiuzi given to him by Fu Mingwei, he realized that this should be the most bizarre and complicated case he has encountered since he was a police officer.

Fu Mingwei, who had read the information, looked at the two and said, "I have to go to the scene of the crime to see, the scene has not been cleaned up yet." ”

Chen Fang and Dong Guozhi both agreed, and the three of them, under the leadership of the person in charge of the criminal police team in the jurisdiction, went to Cai Nayun's "Dengyun Martial Arts Hall".

Dengyun Martial Arts Museum is located in an arcade in an old street in the old town of Foshan, the history of the arcade block can be traced back to the Opium War at the earliest, and there are many century-old shops around.

Captain Li of the criminal police team took Fu Mingwei and others through the water gate under the arcade, waved his hand to the police guarding the scene to open the door of the martial arts hall, and said at the same time: "There are two doors inside and outside, and the door was locked from the inside when the crime occurred. ”

Dong Guozhi walked out of the porch outside the water gate, looked upstairs, and asked, "Can I climb up directly from here?" ”

Captain Li explained: "You should be able to do it with good skills, but the murderer didn't climb up from here. ”

"Why are you so sure?" Chen Fang also raised his eyes and asked, "This place is very easy to climb, I can climb it, it only takes five seconds." ”

Captain Li looked Chen Fang up and down, and Fu Mingwei nodded towards Captain Li, which meant that if he believed Chen Fang's words, he would definitely be able to do it.

Captain Li pointed to the top and said: "This arcade was originally a characteristic building in Guangdong, and the lowest floor will retreat along the street, leaving a sidewalk, which is similar to the porch of an ancient building, but horizontal." There are pillars on the outside, and there are usually wires or other things outside the pillars that can be used to support them, but at the time of the crime, that is, the forensic doctor speculated that the time of Cai Nayun's death was 11 o'clock in the morning that day, and during that time period, people came and went here, and if you climbed up from here, it was impossible that there were no witnesses. ”

Dong Guozhi asked: "Is there monitoring around here?" ”

Captain Li said: "Yes, we have all called it out to see, there are Skynet, there are also private enterprises and small shops installed by themselves, and we have not seen any suspicious people enter the martial arts hall, the strangest thing is that according to the confessions of the surrounding neighbors, Cai Nayun will open the door and come out to run at seven o'clock in the morning every day, regardless of the wind or sun." ”

Chen Fang shook his head at Fu Mingwei, Fu Mingwei raised his head and said, "Go in and see the scene of the crime." ”

Captain Li led the three of them into the martial arts hall, and the moment they entered, Fu Mingwei and the three of them had a feeling of walking directly into the Hong Kong martial arts movies of that year, the style and furnishings in the martial arts hall were almost exactly the same as in the movie, with swords, guns, swords, halberds on the left and right sides, and wooden stakes.

Captain Li stood in the courtyard of the patio: "This is the front yard, facing the front hall, the canteen on the left, the boxing room on the right, the place to live is behind the front hall, and there is a small courtyard behind." ”

Fu Mingwei looked around and asked, "Cai Nayun is the only one living here?" ”

"Yes, he's the only one." Captain Li recalled, "According to the neighbors, it was about 20 years ago, that is, around 1995, Cai Nayun officially announced that he would no longer accept apprentices, but before that, probably around the eighties, because of the death of his wife, his whole person changed, and after sending away the disciples at that time, he never accepted any apprentices, but sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would teach the neighborhood children to practice some physical fitness boxing, so for decades, he has been living here alone." ”

Dong Guozhi immediately asked: "Captain Li, may I ask, is his wife's name Ye Suxin?" ”

Captain Li recalled: "Yes, yes, yes, it's called Ye Suxin, in fact, when we checked the records, we found that Cai Nayun's wife disappeared in 1979, and he reported that he was missing, you know, not long after the end of the Cultural Revolution, everything was still recovering, and I didn't pay attention to it at that time, after Cai Nayun died, we asked the neighbors, but the neighbors said that Cai Nayun himself drunk and told them that Ye Suxin was dead, and he died in Hong Kong, what happened, we don't know whether it is true or not, is this related to Cai Nayun's death?" ”

Fu Mingwei shook his head and said, "We're not sure yet. ”

Captain Li nodded: "Let's go, take you to see the place where Cai Nayun's body was found, which is in the main hall." ”

After Captain Li entered the main hall, he pointed to the beam and said: "Cai Nayun's body was found here, he was hung on the beam of the house at that time, and the forensic identification was at least three days dead, and it was definitely not hanged himself, he was hung on the beam after being killed, but it is very strange to do so, because no matter how stupid the murderer is, he should know that such a disguise is completely futile, even if he is not a professional, he only needs to take a look to know that Cai Nayun has suffered serious injuries, and he was wearing shorts and vest at the time, The bruise on the injured area has turned into ecchymosis due to time. ”

Fu Mingwei looked at the empty beams: "Just rush to this point, I know that I have been dead for at least 12 hours." ”

Dong Guozhi asked: "What color was the ecchymosis at that time?" ”

"Blue-green, so I speculated that the deceased had been beaten to death at least two days before the body was found, and then hung from the beams. ”

Chen Fang walked under the beams, looked around, and asked, "Captain Li, what is the tallest furniture in this martial arts hall?" ”

"Cabinets and ladders." Captain Li replied, "But that kind of cabinet is pure solid wood, it is absolutely impossible to move it here from the backyard, and there is no trace of moving, and the ladder is also broken." I know your doubts, and I still have doubts, that the beams of the house where the corpses are hung are 5 meters above the ground, and it is absolutely impossible to hang the corpses without the help of ladders and other objects. ”

Fu Mingwei thought of Xuantong's confession of hanging the corpse in Xiangxi at this time, and he raised his eyes and asked, "What is the real cause of Cai Nayun's death?" ”

"Poisoning." After Captain Li finished speaking, he shook his head in embarrassment, "Let's put it this way, after he took the poison, he was beaten and seriously injured, in the process, because of the rapid blood flow, the toxin quickly invaded the internal organs, and at the same time, his ribs in the chest were completely broken, and he suffered continuous heavy blows in a short period of time. ”

Chen Fang interjected: "Hit a fast punch? ”

Captain Li nodded: "Yes, at that time, we suspected that he was killed by other martial artists, so we asked the head of the Provincial Armed Police Corps to help, and the preliminary speculation was that it should be Hong Fist." ”

Dong Guozhi was stunned: "Hong Fist? Isn't Cai Nayun also using Hong Fist? ”

Captain Li looked around: "So I said that this case is very strange, the murderer committed the crime during the day, there was no trace of a fight at the scene, the front and rear doors were sealed, and there were no too obvious climbing marks on the roof, the deceased was not only poisoned, but also died from Hong Boxing, which he was best at, I don't have any clue at all, and I don't have the slightest clue." ”

Fu Mingwei stood there and recalled the information given by Lian Jiuqi, in which Lian Jiuqi unabashedly said that Cai Nayun had taught him Hongquan, but in Guangdong, there are many people who know Hongquan, and it is not certain that Lian Jiuqi did it.

Dong Guozhi looked at Fu Mingwei and asked, "Team Fu, are you also thinking about the person who gave Jiuzi information?" ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "Yes." ”

Captain Li immediately asked, "What nine sons?" What information? ”

Fu Mingwei immediately explained: "Captain Li, because there is a reason for the incident, and some information is still in the confidential stage, I can't share it for the time being until the above agrees, I'm sorry." ”

Captain Li nodded: "Understand, understand, no matter what, as long as you can solve the case, I have been handling cases for many years, and it is really the first time I have encountered such a strange case, you bother, it can be regarded as a favor for me." ”

Fu Mingwei led Chen Fang and Dong Guozhi to search back and forth in front of the martial arts hall, took some photos for reference, and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

As soon as he entered the door of the room, Fu Mingwei asked, "Tell me what the two of you think about this case." ”

Dong Guozhi looked at Chen Fang: "You can say it first, I'll rest for a while, I'm a little tired." ”

Chen Fang unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip before saying: "Judging from the traces of the scene, the murderer should be a person, and he should be regarded as a person who has practiced Hongquan for many years, and his age should be at least thirty years old, because modern times are different from the past, and there is no environment that can really allow a person to practice boxing wholeheartedly, so even if he practices from a young age, he basically has to be in his thirties to really succeed." ”

Fu Mingwei said: "What do you mean is that he has broken ribs, and he is not a master of Hong Boxing, so he can't do this?" ”

Chen Fangdao: "Yes, the autopsy report clearly states that his ribs are broken neatly, and a person, even with tools, cannot simply do this, plus there are no traces around, I believe that the murderer is a very good person, otherwise he would not be able to climb the beam of the house and hang Cai Nayun's body up." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded and looked at Dong Guoling: "Guozhi, what is your opinion?" ”

Dong Guo said: "I think this thing seems to be done by Chen Taidong." ”

Fu Mingwei didn't refute him, but just asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Just kidding." Dong Guozhi smiled, "Even if I always think that he has a problem and want to catch him, but I will not indiscriminately frame the crime against him, I agree with what Chen Fang said just now, although saying these speculations will make others think that we are talking in a dream as a policeman, but after all, the facts are in front of us." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded approvingly, thinking that Dong Guo's title had indeed improved, and Chen Fang also sat down and listened carefully.

Dong Guozhi said again: "I think the murderer is hiding something. ”

"Oh?" Fu Mingwei sat upright, "Go on, be careful." ”

Dong Guozhi looked at Chen Fangdao and said, "Just imagine, you have that ability, you can kill Cai Nayun with Hong punch, why do you want to poison it?" ”

Chen Fangdao: "To be on the safe side. ”

"That's right." Dong Guozhi nodded, "The forensic appraisal report is very clear, that kind of poison can kill in a short time, since it can kill in a short time, why use Hong Fist?" It's a contradiction! It seems that the murderer just wanted us to know that he was beaten to death by Hong's fist. ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "The murderer wants us to think that Lian Jiuqi is the real murderer." ”

Dong Guozhi said: "Yes, the murderer must have been poisoned first for the sake of insurance, because Cai Nayun has always lived alone in the martial arts hall, so he will not suspect that there will be a problem with his diet, once he is poisoned, after the poison starts, the murderer will immediately take action, kill him with Hong Fist, and then hang his body on the beam." ”

After Dong Guozhi finished speaking, he and Chen Fang kept looking at Fu Mingwei, Fu Mingwei pondered for a moment before asking: "However, there is a key problem here, the neighbors said that Cai Nayun opened the door on time at seven o'clock on weekdays to go out to exercise, and the forensic examination showed that the time of his death was 11 o'clock in the morning that day, so why didn't Cai Nayun open the door?" There is only one reason, the murderer is a person who Cai Nayun is very familiar with, and will definitely not be wary, but he is afraid of being seen by the neighbors, who do you think this person will be? ”

Dong Guoyu thought for a while and said, "One of the nine sons." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "It's close, but who among the nine sons comes to the martial arts hall, and Cai Nayun will worry about being seen by the neighbors?" ”

Chen Fang thought about it, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Fu Mingwei, and at this time, Dong Guozhi also thought of it, and the two almost said in unison: "Ye Suxin!" ”

Fu Mingwei was not excited, but said: "Yes, looking at it now, the only possible thing is that, he reported his disappearance to the police station back then, and told the neighbors that his wife Ye Suxin, who had died in Hong Kong, don't forget, in the information given by Lian Jiuqi, Ye Suxin also died in Hong Kong." However, the point is that even Jiuqi is written very clearly in the information, and he also heard what Cai Nayun said, and he did not witness it with his own eyes. ”

Chen Fang and Dong Guozhi glanced at each other, and then both nodded slightly, this is indeed the only speculation that can explain this strange case now. Ye Suxin is Cai Nayun's wife, maybe Hongquan may not say it is necessarily, and only when she suddenly returns, Cai Nayun will be so surprised, so that she will not open the door and not let the neighbors see her return.

Dong Guoyu analyzed again: "Let's continue this speculation and reasoning now, then the question arises again, does Cai Nayun know that Ye Suxin is not dead?" Also, why did Ye Suxin come back and kill Cai Nayun? ”

Fu Mingwei got up at this time and said: "Okay, that's it, don't forget, this is just our guess, a bold guess, I believe that the murderer has left Guangzhou, we should go to Sichuan to find Tang Sirong, but the address on the information given by Lian Jiuqi is very vague, we can only try our luck." ”

After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, Chen Fang and Dong Guozhi just nodded, and then they each picked up the information, looked through it carefully, and thought about it. Fu Mingwei looked at the appearance of the two, and was very happy in his heart, finally something made this small team work together intimately.

At this time, Fu Mingwei's phone rang, he picked it up, and saw that it was a text message, the text message was sent by torture, Fu Mingwei was shocked when he saw the text message, and then received another one, and then received more than a dozen messages one after another.

When Fu Mingwei read the text message, his face turned pale, and Chen Fang and Dong Guozhi were very puzzled when they saw his appearance.

Chen Fang couldn't help but ask, "Team Fu, what's wrong?" ”

"We have to leave for Sichuan immediately." Fu Mingwei put down his phone, "Something is wrong." ”

Fu Mingwei said, and at the same time called back to the torture technique, but the torture technique did not answer at all, but hung up directly, and when he called again, there was a prompt tone that the phone could not be connected.
