Chapter 180: Story VIII

Something happened...... It's still a big deal.

The camera follows Andrew and Sheriff Parn as they rush into the apartment building, the dilapidated staircase, the bald and musty walls, and the strange eyes of the residents around them, making it easy to find the starting point of the incident.

In front of a single room on the third floor, surrounded by people, their eyes burst into curiosity, they came to the hidden door, and then retreated in panic, showing a frightened expression of fear, and even a few of them even fell to the ground in a pretended posture...... And those who haven't seen it yet, they all squeezed to the front, wanting to see this scene that can only be seen in TV dramas, in order to add a little after-dinner conversation to their pale life.

"Bastard! Get out of the way! Sergeant Parn roared, ignoring the dissatisfaction of the people around him for "watching the excitement and not queuing", and violently pushed through the crowd, and soon came to the door that had long been wide open, followed by Mr. Andrew.

The camera follows closely, extending into the apartment.

This is almost the most dilapidated room in the entire residential building, with a torn mattress on the floor, and countless bottles stacked in the corners, undoubtedly the room of an alcoholic who is evolving into a homeless man...... There is not even a decent piece of furniture, and you can see it clean at a glance. Oh, and by the way, the reason why this place attracts so many onlookers is because there is a hanging fan on the ceiling with missing blades, and above that. There was a person hanging, his feet dangling in the air, swaying slightly, accompanied by bursts of overwhelmed "squeaks".

It is worth mentioning that this person ...... It's the drunkard who claims to be an eyewitness!

......

......

The case is over.

Without the slightest warning...... There are even some absurdities, like the two countries are at war, the army has come to the city, a big war that rewrites history is about to break out, but suddenly, the enemy king Gaba died of plague, followed by a collective rebellion throughout the country, the city gate is wide open, the lights are colorful, flowers pave the road, the whole city is noisy with gongs and drums, and the streets are welcomed on both sides.

If this is really a movie, then the screenwriter will probably be scolded to the grave and embarrassed to grow grass......

But that's really the end of it.

In the bachelor's apartment, a blood-stained yellow trench coat and a bloody dagger were found, and after some simple blood type comparison at the police station, it was determined that the blood stains on them were the same as those on the deceased's body, which was almost ironclad.

It was supposed to be like this, he was just a homeless man who died, with no friends and no family, and even if he didn't die under the knife, maybe he would fall into a well or freeze to death on the street after drinking too much next time!

No one will care about his death...... Except for the boring media.

Detective Andrew's name was added to the police department's collaborative list...... It was also in the newspapers, as mentioned before, on the third day after this case, a little-known private detective, single-handedly detected a murder before the police, and this news can undoubtedly be placed on the headlines of those pale and boring newspapers. ...... Questions about the relationship between the murderer and the homeless man, or his motive for killing, are also rendered meaningless by the murderer's suicide in fear of guilt.

And why did he lie that he was an eyewitness before committing suicide, in fact, if you think about it carefully, maybe he was going to turn himself in that day, but because of Sheriff Parn's sideways intervention, he changed his attention, so the reason why he was drinking so wildly in the bar at that time was probably to have one last before he died, and this kind of operation is logical to put on an alcoholic.

......

The case is over...... However, the story doesn't end there. After these episodes have just been overshadowed, our perspective is to a bar, the same bar where Mr. Parn meets Mr. Andrew with a drunken witness, and the perspective is still the same perspective, and the distance is still a vague and hazy shot, which is not real. Andrew had changed into new clothes, and his unkempt hair was trimmed, and he looked much more energetic, but his eyes still looked worried.

He drank another glass of wine, put a note on the table, and stood up.

The camera stayed focused behind him, swaying past a few tables, and then, coming to a familiar looking door, he hesitated for a few seconds before pushing it open.

Outside the door is an alley, late at night, very dark, you can vaguely hear the traffic on the road, after a few seconds, the camera gradually adjusts to the faint light, and then the camera rotates, and we see the whole picture of this alley, which is the place where the homeless man died.

Andrew looked at the scene in front of him and smiled slightly

The picture cuts off abruptly, and it's pitch black

In the darkness, a phone rang, followed by Andrew's voice......

"Hey ......"

......

......

And after that!

"End of story!" The sound of the television set sounded, and the line-segmented expression reappeared on the screen. ヽ(•̀ω•́)ゝ

"Huh?"

"Nani?"

Chen Xiao and Youren shouted in unison.

"What the hell, that's the end of it?" Chen Xiao shouted.

The TV said with certainty: "Of course! It's all over the story! ”╰(*´︶`*)╯

Yurenjun also hurriedly asked: "So that means that the clues in the story can no longer be purchased?" ”

"Yes!" The TV replied, "Because the previous rules also said that if the picture is transitioned, the problem shown in the previous picture cannot be purchased." ”

"Hmm...... It seems that I don't want the contestants to bid on the content of the last phone call, but ...... Then I have 300 chips left, what should I do? Yuren-kun asked.

"Yes, yes, I have more than 300 points left, how to use it?" Chen Xiao also shouted with a face of shame.

The TV interrupted the two men: "Although the clues in the story can no longer be auctioned, you can still ask questions, but the only answers you get are "yes" and "no"!

Also, according to my calculations, Mr. Chen Xiao's remaining chips should only be 238 points. ”

"Uh~ I know, I just rounded it up." Chen Xiao didn't explain with an old face.

The TV seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to him, so he continued: "However, since the story is now over, every time you ask a question, you must tell the whole story of the story, and if the narration is wrong, then exchange rights, and the other party will ask questions and narrate, and so on, until the true truth of the story is deduced!" Of course, the one who finally comes to the truth is the winner of this competition! ”

......

......

"Oh, I see, so it seems that the time has come to decide the victory......" Yuren-kun said with a smile, and then raised his hand and shouted, "Ask!" ”

This should have been a moment to fight for the right to narrate, but Chen Xiao hesitated, and unexpectedly spread his hands and put on a posture of "please".

Yourenjun was stunned: "Hehe, I see...... Well, you're welcome. As he spoke, he asked, "Is the reason why Sheriff Parn helped Detective Andrew because of money?" ”

"50 points!" The TV said, and immediately after, Yurenjun's mobile phone rang, and it seemed that the questions raised at the moment no longer asked whether to buy or not, and directly deducted the chips and sent the answer.

Yuren-kun glanced at the answer displayed on his phone, and smiled slyly, just as I thought: "Then, I'm going to start telling this story." ”

As he spoke, he cleared his throat with a shoe.

"You heard the question I just asked, and the answer I got was "yes". Now, the mystery is almost revealed,

Sheriff Parn needed money because he was nearly 50 years old, an age that could not be done as a police officer who had been on the front lines and was never getting promoted. He knew that if that day came, he would lose his existing financial resources, and it would be impossible for him to obtain custody of his daughter, so he could only become a lonely man who was gnawing on his pension and waiting to die...... Oh yes, I forgot there's a guy here who doesn't know Sheriff Parn's profile. Ha ha. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xiao with a mocking expression: "Then, let me reluctantly say it briefly, Sheriff Parn has been divorced and left the house, and he should have not seen his daughter for a long time, which is his heart disease for many years."

So, we come to the story link we see. Before he retired, he found a little-known third-rate detective - Mr. Andrew, and promised him that he would make him a famous detective, and in exchange, after becoming a detective, he would have to give himself a share of each case in the future, or directly give himself a sum of money, and the specific transaction content was irrelevant....... In short, Mr. Andrew, who is a third-rate detective, must have gladly accepted the deal.

However, what Sergeant Parne did not expect was that for a long time after that, the neighborhood under his jurisdiction was very quiet, there were no major cases, and those trivial things did not interest Mr. Andrew at all......

Time passed little by little, and the time for Sergeant Parn to leave his post was getting closer and closer, so ...... He panicked.

He became nothing for his work, lived alone in a bachelor apartment, lost his family, lost his happiness, and even lost his job, he pinned all his feelings on his daughter, if he even lost this, then what is the point of his life?

This kind of thinking made him radical.

In the end, he directed a "homicide" himself.

That's why the person who died would be a homeless man with no friends and no family! How can someone be idle and have nothing to do to kill such a person? Here's why...... No one is going to really find out the cause of his death.

And after that, he found another drunkard, who also had nothing, that is, the witness, and asked him to meet with Mr. Andrew at the bar, creating a false impression similar to "I wanted to turn myself in before I died, but I hesitated and could only buy drunk".

In fact, the testimony he said was all taught by Sheriff Parn, which not only gave Mr. Andrew a pre-emptive measure, but more importantly, found a scapegoat.

The next morning after leaving the bar, Sheriff Parn made an appointment with an alcoholic witness to meet in the old apartment building, presumably because he was paid or something, and then he killed the other man, and pretended to be suicidal, and deliberately covered his door so that the neighbors could find his body, and then Pahn called Andrew, and the rest of the episode was like the one shown in the picture, and the two stayed in the café opposite until the body was found, As for the yellow trench coat and the bloody murder weapon, he also forged it, for a sheriff in charge of this case, it is really easy to get some blood from the corpse, and Andrew~ With his method of solving the case, it is impossible to compare with Sheriff Parn, who has been on the front line of crime.

In this way, a solo show directed and acted by Sheriff Parn killed two scum from the bottom of society who no one cared about life and death, packaged a detective, got a sum of money, and at the same time, cleared his suspicions, and the last phone call was undoubtedly from Sheriff Parne, and the plan was so successful...... Of course, it's better to celebrate, and of course, asking for a reward is a more reliable way of saying it. ”

You Renjun finished telling the whole story with a smile, and I have to say that his narration is worthy of the four words "painting sound and color".

But before he could put on the posture of a victor

"Plot error...... The right to narrate will be exchanged below, and the other contestant will ask questions......"
