After listening to Su Hang's words, Inspector Upton's eyes suddenly became sharp, Su Hang's words made him feel like he had met his peers, and he became serious from the beginning of his indifferent mentality, thinking that the young man brought by Corporal Lynn was just a person who valued love and righteousness, and he just wanted to understand what happened to his friend, but he didn't expect to come to a "job grabber".

Su Hang didn't pay much attention to Inspector Upton's gaze, stared at the coffee on the ground and said, "Under what circumstances would a person with a habit of cleanliness ignore the ground full of coffee stains and cup fragments?" ”

"Something must have affected John at the time and caused him to leave before he could clean up," said Corporal Lynn.

"Corporal, the crime scene is on the second floor, let's go up now." Inspector Upton glanced at Su Hang, and said to Corporal Lynn.

"Okay."

Corporal Lynn was led by Inspector Upton towards the second floor, and Su Hang and the police officers followed behind and walked upstairs.

The staircase from the first floor to the second floor is made of wood, smooth and translucent, but it can be seen that it has been paved for several years, and there are subtle peeling spots in the corners. Su Hang saw that the wooden floor slab should have just been waxed recently, otherwise it would not be so translucent.

Walking up to the second floor, the first thing they saw was an atrium connecting the study and the living room, and when they walked up, they could clearly see that on the opposite wall from the staircase, there was a beautifully made wall clock.

On the left side of the wall where the wall clock is located, there are many oil paintings of various sizes, including figures, still lifes, wars, and landscapes. Among them, there is an oil painting that Su Hang recognizes as "Corn Field" by John Constable, a famous British oil painter.

There are many imitations of this painting on the market, even one is hung in the stairwell of Yaheng's hotel, and this one of John's is also an imitation, but the water product is much higher, and the painter's imitation is almost fake, but Su Hang knows that the fake is fake, and the real painting is now hanging in the living room of the main building of Roberts Manor.

The biggest problem with this imitation is the control of the light perception of the scenery, in order to express the scenery of nature, Constance deepens the light and shadow reflected by the sunlight in the woods, and makes it brighter and brighter. And this painting is a little weaker than the sense of light.

In Su Hang's memory, when he was a child, the adults in his family taught a lot about the appreciation of oil paintings, not to mention that all oil paintings can distinguish the authenticity, and what is known is still confident.

Looking at the oil painting on the wall, Su Hang thought to himself that if this was spread to the market and encountered by those who loved to collect, maybe it would sell for at least 7 to 8 pounds!

"Chu, what's wrong, have you found anything?" At this moment, Corporal Lynn, who was beside him, asked.

Corporal Lynn walked in front of him, and after going upstairs, he turned around the house, thinking about whether he should report what happened here to Dean Charles, and did not pay attention to what Su Hang was doing, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Su Hang was in a daze with the oil paintings at the staircase, so he came over to see if there was anything new.

"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect John to be a collector of oil paintings!" Su Hang took his gaze back from the oil painting, looked at Corporal Lynn and said.

"You're right, Chu, I just found out that there are really a few good oil paintings in here." After Su Hang's mention, Corporal Lynn looked carefully at the oil paintings on the wall and found that several of them were indeed good.

At this time, the police officer behind him suddenly said: "Corporal, you are wrong, these paintings are all in the collection of John's wife, who died of stomach cancer." ”

"I heard from the neighbors around me that after John's wife died, John kept his relics very well and cleaned them from time to time."

"How did the neighbors know?"

"When John went out on business, he arranged for hourly workers to clean regularly, which was what the people who lived in the neighborhood and let the people who lived in the neighborhood know," the officer said.

I have eaten Mexican food in Suzhou and Hangzhou when I was a child, and there was a chef from Mexico on the ship, who returned to China for family reasons for a short time, but the Mexican food made by that chef still remains in the taste buds of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Mexican cuisine is reflected in the lightness of the soup and the sour and spicy dishes, Mexicans do not eat as much etiquette as the British eat, and when eating, you can use your hands to show the heroic spirit to the fullest, which is a bit like Mongolia's hand-grilled mutton, eating is happy, and eating is so atmospheric.

For Mexican cuisine, Suzhou and Hangzhou's biggest understanding is sour and spicy, their dishes continue to extend around the theme of sour and spicy, and chili peppers have become a necessity in their daily diet, just like salt and sugar.

Su Hang ordered several dishes on the boat when he was a child, but after many years, I want to reminisce about the original taste.

Onion and black pepper beef is the most eaten in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the most memorable Mexican dish, eat the tender beef in your mouth so that you can't stop, combined with the soft sweetness of the onion so that the whole beef is full of nose spray. The main attraction of the whole beef with onion and black pepper is that the aroma of the roast sauce is so tempting when it comes out of the pan.

"Mr. Chu, do you know a lot about Mexican cuisine?" Inspector Upton discovered this when he ordered food in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and this young man ordered Mexican food, like a treasure!

"When I was a child, I used to eat Mexican food for a while, but then I ate less." Su Hang replied casually.

"Mr. Chu, there is still a Mexican chef at home?"

"My father's friend has lived there for a while, and the food is delicious." Su Hang said as he added the milk to the black tea and mixed it with a spoon.

"Inspector Upton, is that investigation report from John's store?" Corporal Lynn had just wanted to see the report and find out what the police had found.

"Yes, this is the result of a preliminary investigation." Inspector Upton sat forward unconsciously, letting the report that was behind his side completely collapse behind him.

Corporal Lynn and Su Hang both noticed Upton's body movements, but they both pretended that nothing had happened, in fact, Inspector Upton deliberately wanted Corporal Lynn to find out about his movements, just to tell him vaguely, you still don't want to read the investigation report well, but Corporal Lynn deliberately pretended not to see it.

"Inspector Upton, can you take a look at that report?" Corporal Lynn, who was sitting next to Su Hang, said again.

Inspector Upton hesitated, considering that Corporal Lynn could still go to the police department to apply to see the results of the investigation even if he was rejected by himself, since it was better to sell the other party than to fall out.

Thinking of this, Inspector Upton handed the report to Corporal Lynn.

When Corporal Lynn took the report from Upton's hand and was about to read it, Su Hang also turned his body to read the contents of the report from the side.

When Corporal Lynn was about to look through the report, Su Hang saw from the side that on the cover of the case report, it was written 'Attack on the Appliance Store' and the name of the person in charge.

Turning the first few pages of the report, the overall history of the case was written, from the discovery of the victim to the blockade of the scene, and many traces and suspicious points found were written on the report line by line. The report at the back reads the contents of the case analysis.

Report Analysis: Shoe prints found in the backyard of John's store showed that the extracted coffee stains and the coffee in the broken cup in the kitchen were from the same cup of coffee.

After seeing this, Su Hang knew that he had guessed correctly, the culprit finally left from the backyard, and the coffee was stepped on when he left.

The traces of vandalism on the lock of the backyard door of the second John's store were determined to be the damage caused by an axe.

Su Hang and his entourage did not enter the backyard, and they did not know about it, and it seemed that they would have to go to the scene of the crime again after the meal.

3. Judging from the diagonal splashing and distribution of blood at the scene, the murderer attacked the other party when the victim was not paying attention, and judging from the position occupied by both parties, it can be determined that the victim was defenseless against the murderer.

Fourth, according to the neighbors of John's store, a silver axe carved with a delicate pattern in sterling silver was missing from the counter, and it was suspected that the murderer had taken it away from the scene.

……

The entire report summarizes the information investigated, thinks and analyzes it. Su Hang and the others had just finished reading the report, and lunch was delivered to the table.

Eating a delicious lunch, Su and Hangzhou also chatted about the vagaries of the British weather and the delicious food around London, just like everyone else, and they didn't mention the case report and case-related matters as if they had agreed.

After lunch, Corporal Lynn ordered four more cups of coffee and a scones for dessert. As the restaurant dwindled, the waiters cleaned up the messy leftovers and restored the tables to their previous neat and new appearance.

"Waiter, another scone." Corporal Lynn called a waiter.

"Yes sir, please wait a minute!" Just as the waiter was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped again by Corporal Lynn.

"Wait a minute!"

"Is there anything else you need, sir?" The waiter asked with a smile on his face.

"What time do you usually open and what time do you close?" Corporal Lynn asked, looking at the waiter.

As Corporal Lynn was questioning, two police officers at the table not far away who were resting after lunch walked over and looked at the waiter who was about to answer.

"Sir, our restaurant starts at half past seven in the morning, and the normal opening hours are eight o'clock sharp. Doors close at 10 p.m. The waiter did not panic and calmly answered Corporal Lynn's question.

There was an injury incident in the store opposite, and the police investigation is normal, and they have already been there once, but they are not just asking him. The owner of the restaurant has already explained this in advance, and if the police ask anything, it is good to answer truthfully. This is the scene where the waiter does not change his face and faces Corporal Lynn's questioning.

"Has anything strange happened around here in the past two days?" Corporal Lynn asked, sitting up straight, touching his chin with one hand.

"No, it's normal! I didn't see anything strange. The waiter thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone.

"What are you responsible for in the restaurant?"

"I'm in charge of serving the food."

"What is the first thing to do when morning comes, and what time does it end?" Corporal Lynn asked, frowning.

"Check the hygiene of the kitchen and handle the ingredients, and finish at nine o'clock," says the waiter.

"Who is in charge of the restaurant in the morning in your restaurant, if you call him, it will be none of your business." Corporal Lynn looked at the waiter in front of him and said, This guy is bored in the kitchen when he comes in the morning, and even if there is anything strange, he can't find out, so he asked in vain.

"Sir, the people who clean in the morning are not permanent employees here, just temporary hired people to clean up. Now it's gone. The waiter looked at Corporal Lynn and said.

Inspector Upton on the side didn't say a word from the beginning of Corporal Lynn's questioning until now, looking like he could see what you could ask. Sure enough, so far, there is no news of "nutrition" at all. Drinking black tea, then looking down.

At this moment, the cashier at the front desk came over and looked at Corporal Lynn and said, "Sir, I know something that I don't know if it will be useful to you. ”

"Say it!"

"I had to register the list of new arrivals in the restaurant in the morning, and I came early and noticed that there was more horse manure on the street."

"Usually the streets are cleaned up at five or six o'clock in the morning, and there are many scattered places on both sides of the road these days." The cashier told Corporal Lynn what he thought was strange.

"I guess I haven't cleaned it up! Is there anything else weird? Corporal Lynn asked. I just ignored the horse manure and didn't care much about it.

But Corporal Lynn didn't care, but Su Hang was interested.

"Wait!" Just as Corporal Lynn was about to tell the cashier to leave, Su Hang stopped him.

"Sir, you called me?" The cashier turned to look at Su Hang, who stopped him.

"Who else has seen early morning horse manure other than you?"

"Sir, I've seen it too, but I don't take it seriously." The waiter that Corporal Lynn asked just now did not go far, listening to the conversation between them, and as soon as Su Hang asked who else had seen horse manure, he immediately walked over.

"Who else has seen it but you?" Su Hang asked again.

"Temporarily recruited sweepers have also been seen."

"How many days has this been going on, and how long will it end?"

"It's been a week and there hasn't been any loose horse manure this morning." The cashier said after thinking for a moment.

"Tomorrow morning, if the horse manure does not appear again, you can call the Goring Hotel to find Corporal Lynn," Su Hang said as he looked at the cashier.

"Yes, sir." The cashier looked at Su Hang and nodded, turned around and walked towards the front desk.

Corporal Lynn then questioned a few more restaurant staff, and after getting no useful information, he gave up looking for new clues, and after "eliminating" the last piece of scones, the group left the restaurant and walked towards John's store again.

Walking into the second floor of John's store again, according to the report, the murderer seems to be looking for something, there are many traces of rummaging in the bedroom opposite the study, from the wardrobe to the bed, the sheets are turned into a mess, the clothes in the wardrobe are messed together, and the whole bedroom is scattered as if it has been looted by a thief.
