Wu Kun died.

The corpse's limbs were stiff, with corpse spots, and the time of death was presumed to be between 10 and 12 p.m. That is, about 4 hours after Binx's wine caught fire.

The cause of death was suffocation, and when Poirot found him, he had been hanging from the doorpost for hours.

The crowd carefully lowered him from the door beam, and there were traces of friction on the side of his neck, slight impact wounds on the epidermis, and no other fatal injuries on his body, indicating that the deceased had struggled before his death, and not that he had hanged his body after death.

The nylon rope used to hang the body was as thick as a finger, and the tether had the fingerprints of the deceased.

No signs of a fight were found at the scene, and there was an overturned stool at the feet of the corpse, with his own shoe prints on the stool. There were cigarette butts scattered everywhere on the ground, and it was as you could guess that he must have been in a state of extreme anxiety before he died.

"The autopsy results will take a little time, and judging from the preliminary investigation, there is a high probability of suicide." Hae-yeon came to a conclusion.

"Don't jump to conclusions, I think there are a lot of doubts in this. Judging from Wu Kun's recent performance, he did not show a tendency to commit suicide, the scene was dirty and messy, not a typical suicide environment, and no suicide note was found in his home. Poirot said.

"Could it be an impromptu emotional suicide?"

"If it's an emotional suicide, then it's up to him to find his motive." Poirot stared intently at the screen in front of him, "What made him have explosive emotions." ”

There is only a simple table on the screen, with a person sitting on either side of the table.

One of them is Shi Luo, and the other is Wu Kun's boss, Hu Jiao.

"Mr. Hu, do you know what we are looking for you to do?" It was Shi Luo who spoke first.

"Is it a bar thing?"

"Then could you tell me what happened that day?"

"I wasn't there that day, so I ...... about it."

"Mr. Hu, let me remind you that since we will summon you over, it is because we have a lot of information, and I hope you can be honest with us, which is also the best choice for you." Shi Luo interrupted him unceremoniously.

"Shi Luo, this guy is very good at psychological warfare." It was because of this that Lei Wensheng gave him this task.

Hugio raised his eyebrows, leaned his whole body back in the chair, and folded his hands in front of his chest, looking like he was thousands of miles away.

"His confrontation, Officer Shi is afraid it will be difficult for him to ask anything." Hae-yeon read the body language and said worriedly.

"Just watch quietly." Lei Wensheng still looked calm and relaxed, and he had full confidence in Shi Luo.

Seeing that Hu Geo didn't speak, Shi Luo added another weight.

"There's a draught beer house across the street from Binks' wine, and that afternoon, the owner of the beer house saw you and the bartender Wu Kun leaving the bar at the same time, and half an hour later, the bar caught fire, don't you think it's necessary to explain?"

"The sky is unpredictable." Hu Geo looked at Shi Luo coldly, he had already made up his mind that no matter what the other party asked, he would not know anything.

"Why did you and Wu Kun leave the bar at that time?"

"It's just a matter of taking care of something."

"What's the matter?"

"Private matters."

"Are you going to set it on fire?"

"What are you kidding? Why should I burn down my own bar? Hugio's eyes widened.

"Then tell me honestly what you left the bar for."

"It's not convenient to say."

Shi Luo saw through Hu Geo's thoughts, and suddenly changed his tone and said, "I know what you're thinking right now. ”

Hugio's eyelids lifted.

"You're thinking that as long as you don't say anything, the police won't know anything." Shi Luo leaned his body against the table, "But have you ever thought that even if you don't say it, maybe someone else will." ”

Hugio looked at him suspiciously, and Shi Luo duly took out a transparent bag and threw it on the table, which contained a pinch of blue crystal powder.

Hugio's spirit was visibly shaken: "This ...... What is it. ”

"We don't know, that's why I'm asking you."

"Comrade policeman, how could I know about such an unknown thing......"

"Don't you take a closer look?" As he spoke, Shi Luo opened the bag and reached under his nose.

Hugio reflexively covered his nose with his hand and tried to duck back, only realizing that he had been fooled when he noticed Shi Luo's mischievous smile.

"You know what it is, and we know it." Shi Luo put the packet of powder in his mouth, and actually ate it in one go, "It's a pity that it's just ordinary sugar here, I'll tell you again one last time, confession is the best choice for you." ”

"No, I don't know......" Hugio's heart shook even more.

"Now all the evidence is very unfavorable to you, and indeed, it is not enough to charge you at the moment, but I promise you that if you don't say anything, it won't be long before all this guilt will be borne by you alone."

"I'm innocent, and it has nothing to do with me."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid it's not up to you."

"How could it be ......?"

"Please understand, we are helping you, and what you have to do now is to save yourself!"

Hugio's psychological defenses finally collapsed.

"Okay, I said."

Seeing that he finally raised his hand in surrender, Poirot snapped his fingers excitedly.

Haiyan watched the whole process, but she was still confused: "How did Officer Shi know that Hu Geo must be related to drugs?" Are you cheating on him? ”

"Not exactly, he has maintained a state of confrontation from the beginning, that is, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, if it is said that it has nothing to do with it at all, it is impossible." Ravenson took a sip of water and continued, "Later, he showed fear of the contents of the bag, which made Shi Luo more sure, and finally put mental pressure on him, defusing the antagonism, in my opinion, a textbook interrogation. ”

Poirot patted Haiyan on the shoulder: "Little girl, you still have to learn." ”

Haiyan shook off Poirot in disgust and replied: "What to learn, it's just curiosity, and I don't rely on this to eat." ”

"Stop making a fuss, listen carefully." Ravenson stopped the two of them from arguing and reminded them that Hugio had begun to speak.

"The first time I knew about this thing was a month ago when someone was secretly selling it in Pub Street. Because there used to be people selling these kinds of things underground, and although the varieties were different, I didn't really care about them at the time. I didn't expect this thing to become more and more marketable, until a few days ago, I found out that there were people secretly selling in my store. ”

"After investigation, it was found to be Wu Kun."

"So I came to the store early yesterday to talk to him and hope he stopped selling this thing."

Shi Luo asked, "Why didn't you say it at first?" ”

"After all, it's not a glorious thing, and I'm afraid of getting involved in it."

"Why do you want to go out of the store to talk about it, even if you want to talk about this kind of thing, the more hidden the space, the better?"

"Because there are other people in the store."

"Who is this other person you're talking about?"

"I ...... I don't know ......," Hugio said.

Shi Luo shook his head: "Mr. Hu, if you don't tell the truth again, there is no need for us to continue." ”
