Chapter 16: Three Hours, the Line Between Life and Death (Part II)
At this moment, I saw Zhou Yan enter the play in a second, and he shouted directly: "Mom! The group of debtors came, what should I do, ahhhhh......h
Lin Xi frowned, looking at Zhou Yan, who was stupidly yelling in the dark, and seemed to really feel for a moment that this guy's illness was not good.
Zhou Yan was very deep into the play and was shouting, when suddenly, he seemed to have touched something on the ground.
"Ahh Lock! Zhou Yan shouted exaggeratedly, hurriedly rushed to the door, and locked the door from the inside with a lock.
The inside and outside of this gate are different, and it is not the design of the [deadbolt], but one left and one right, inlaid with two iron buckles, as long as the lock is passed through it, it is locked.
After this set, the people outside the door just started banging on the door.
shouted while hitting back: "What's the matter, can't you open it"
"Damn, those two locked the door from the inside!"
"Open the door! Open the door! Otherwise, you'll see! β
Lin Xi rubbed her temples, she could hear it, it was the two guards who were calling outside.
"What's the matter, it's just a scene restoration, do you need to act so seriously?"
She thought helplessly.
After a while, the two actors outside seemed to have played enough, locked the bolt from the outside, scolded and left, and when leaving, he didn't forget to shout: "Wait for tomorrow, Lao Tzu find a chainsaw, see how I go in and clean you up!" β
At this point, this double chamber is formed.
Zhou Yan was very satisfied, and next, he moved in the direction of Lin Xi.
It is said that although there is a little light through the crack in this warehouse, it can only shine on a small piece of the door, and it is still very dark inside, so Zhou Yan subconsciously groped forward with his hands, and inadvertently, he touched Lin Xi's body.
He didn't know exactly where he had touched it, but he felt that under the other party's seemingly soft body, the muscles were a little stronger than he imagined...... He quickly withdrew his hand.
"And then?" Fortunately, Lin Xi didn't care, she asked.
"Now the debtor is gone, and according to the records on the case file, you are in a state of nervousness and drunkenness, and you quickly fall asleep."
"So...... I'm going to sleep now? β
"That's not necessary." Zhou Yan said, taking out the cloth bag: "But you need to bring this." β
Lin Xi frowned, of course she was not afraid that Zhou Yan would run away, but she still hesitated for a while: "Can you really prove that you are innocent?" β
"I'm not sure yet, but I'll try." Zhou Yan replied very honestly.
"Good luck then." Lin Xi said seemingly casually, and then put on the cloth bag very cooperatively.
......
In the darkness, Lin Xi heard some rustling and clanging sounds around him.
She was curious, and a few times, she wanted to remove the bag and see what the hell this guy was up to.
But she didn't...... Since she said that she wanted to cooperate, she should do what the other party asked, and even she tried not to listen to those voices, after all, she was just a person who fell asleep in fright.
Of course, the reason why she is so cooperative, in addition to her professionalism, is that she also has doubts about this case.
Maybe in the eyes of others, the case has already settled, but if you look at it from the eyes of a detective, there are still some subtle details of this case that have not been figured out.
For example, motivation...... Although it makes sense to say that a drunk man kills someone in a tense situation, it is a small chance event after all. If you have to take this as a motive, it seems a bit thin just by relying on the evidence presented by Chen Hao.
There are also those debtors' behaviors, although they seem reasonable, but they are awkward.
And the most important thing is Chen Hao's attitude towards this case.
Self-confidence, this is a quality that a qualified detective should have, but Chen Hao seems to be overconfident.
Therefore, Lin Xi always had a pimple in her heart, and she felt that this case did not seem to be as simple as it seemed. Afterwards, she also tried to get past Chen Hao and investigate the case, but unfortunately, Chen Hao was the only person who took over the case, and she herself just played the role of a 'detective's assistant'.
Therefore, she has not been able to get in touch with this case, and time has dragged on, and everything is about to be buried forever in the thick case file with the death penalty of the prisoner.
But I didn't expect that this guy named Zhou Yan suddenly jumped out by himself!
And he really seems to have a way to prove his innocence.
"This guy ......" Lin Xi thought so, and suddenly, he heard a shrill buzzing sound.
And along with this voice, there were several people shouting: "Hahaha - Lao Tzu got the chainsaw, see where you two are hiding for a while?" β
Immediately afterward, there was the sound of a chainsaw making a fierce encounter with an iron tool.
At this time, Lin Xi naturally would not wear a hood anymore, and she ripped off the cloth bag.
In the dimly lit warehouse, she could barely believe her eyes, staring at the man lying on the ground in shock.
Even if he couldn't see it clearly, he knew that this person was definitely not Zhou Yan...... It's one of the two accompanying guards!
At this time, the guard was lying flat on the ground, his hands clasped in front of his chest, and in that hand, there was also a wooden stick, which seemed to represent the iron hammer that was used as the murder weapon!
"What about Zhou Yan?" Lin Xi looked around a little blankly, but as I said before, this warehouse was too small, and there was no place to hide people.
At this momentβββ there was a "bang", the door was kicked open, and the sunlight outside the door shone in.
Lin Xi subconsciously looked over.
Several figures stood outside the door......
Among them, Zhou Yan was wearing a prison uniform, and his hands had been handcuffed again, hanging down in front of him.
But facing the dazzling sunlight, Lin Xi saw that his slightly thin face was full of happy smiles.
From this moment on...... This warehouse is no longer a secret room.
