Three people died last night, and they all knew each other. Are there any other connections between them?

So I asked Captain Feng, "When you interrogated Wu Jiufu yesterday, why did he mention Liu Zhongshu?" ”

Captain Feng replied: "He mentioned the matter of swallowing Li Nan's family's five million consolation money, and said that Liu Zhongshu also shared a sum at that time. ”

"What are you talking about?" Liu Yi asked at this time.

Captain Feng thought for a moment, pulled Liu Yi up suddenly, and asked sharply, "Liu Yi, let me ask you, how did your father die?" ”

"Sick to death! Chen Xiaolong, a liar, said that my father's life would not be in danger......"

"Liu Yi, your father is by no means sick to death!" I said, "I've never made a mistake since I told fortunes, and if you don't believe me, we can look it up!" ”

Captain Feng nodded and said, "That's right! Where is your father's body? ”

"You policemen also believe in fortune tellers?"

Liu Yi's mood fluctuated greatly and he was extremely uncooperative. Captain Feng and I did a long time of ideological work for him, and he told us that Liu Zhongshu died of illness in the hospital, and his body was in the morgue and was about to be cremated.

When Captain Feng heard this, he immediately called and asked people to contact the hospital, keep Liu Zhongshu's body, and then send a forensic doctor to examine it.

After doing this, he took Liu Yi and the two other men involved in the kidnapping of Li Dong into the police car.

I didn't plan to follow, so I walked up to Li Dong and asked him if he was hurt.

Li Dong said: "I'm fine, I just scared my mother." ”

With that, he walked to the bedroom. I followed and found that Li Dong's mother had been tied hand and foot and gagged with a cloth. I hurriedly stepped forward with Li Dong to help her untie it.

"Mom, it's okay, the police have taken him away."

"Auntie, are you alright?" I looked worried.

Li Dong's mother was only frightened, but there was no major problem, and she recovered soon after. At this time, Li Dong introduced me, and she seemed very enthusiastic and said many words of thanks.

In the end, she told me not to go back to school and stay at her house for one night. I looked at the time and it was too late to go back to school, so I agreed.

This night, Li Dong and I slept together. Neither of us slept well and had been waiting for news from Captain Feng.

It wasn't until after one o'clock in the morning that Captain Feng finally called me.

"Master Chen, Liu Zhongshu did not die of illness, but died of poisoning! According to the analysis, the medical examiner believes that he may also have committed suicide. ”

"Impossible!" I said, "This is murder!" Wu Jiufu, Zhou Ting and Liu Zhongshu, none of them have a reason to commit suicide! Even if it is suicide, it is a threat. ”

"I think so, too, but I can't find any evidence right now."

I thought for a moment and said, "Those fighting gangsters, you should take a good look!" ”

Captain Feng said that he had sent someone to investigate again, but those gangsters were indeed unsuspicious. They did get married a few days ago, and when they met by chance in Nancheng that night, they had a big fight.

That's weird! Wu Jiufu surrendered because he was afraid of death, and there was no reason to commit suicide in the police station at all! He must have been threatened, and it was only after he entered the police station.

So I started to be suspicious of the other police officers in the Nancheng police station. I'm embarrassed to say this kind of thing to Captain Feng, but I know in my heart that Captain Feng must be able to think of this too.

"In that case, Captain Feng will check it again." I say.

"Master Chen, I did find a new clue."

I quickly asked, "What clue?" ”

"When we interrogated Liu Yi just now, he said that his father had seen a dwarf a few days ago and gave this dwarf a sum of money!"

So that's it!

The dwarf who scared Li Nan to death must have been found by Liu Zhongshu, and he was also involved in this matter!

In other words, the three people who committed suicide by taking poison last night were all related to Li Nan's death!

"Someone definitely forced them to kill themselves!" I said, "This person obviously doesn't want them to give away some secrets!" ”

Captain Feng definitely said: "That's right, Li Nan's death, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Among them, I am afraid there is an even bigger secret! Master Chen, it's getting late now, you can go and rest, I'm still busy, hang up first. ”

"Are you looking for that dwarf now?" I asked again.

"Yes."

Now among the people involved in scaring Li Nan to death, only that dwarf is left, and Captain Feng must find him quickly to ensure his safety. Because the murderer who forced Wu Jiufu and the three of them to death will definitely try to kill this dwarf.

Who is this murderer? In order not to leak the secret, he actually forced three people to death in a row, what kind of earth-shattering secret is worthy of him doing this?

The phone hung up, and Li Dong and I were silent. I understood Li Dong's mood now, so I didn't bother him, and lay down to sleep.

It was just dawn the next morning. Li Dong woke me up.

"Xiaolong, I don't think we can rely on the police alone! I'll call Zhao Shushan to help in a moment, let's go investigate this matter too!" ”

He still wants to let Li Nan's matter come to light as soon as possible.

"But...... But if even the police can't find anything, what can we find? ”

Li Dong said: "The police also have their thinking limitations. This case is obviously not an ordinary murder case, maybe we are not the police, but it is easier to find something! ”

I nodded in agreement. In any case, as long as Li Dong wants to do something, I will help him.

After washing up at Li Dong's house and eating breakfast made by his mother, Li Dong and I went downstairs to meet Zhao Shushan.

Zhao Shushan is also very enthusiastic about investigating this matter, after all, Li Nan is his girlfriend.

"Uncle Shi, the day before yesterday was really troublesome for you!" Zhao Shushan said when he met.

What he said was that I deceived Wu Jiufu for him.

I waved my hand and said, "You and I are in the same door, so naturally we have to help each other." But Zhao Shushan, Professor Fang, I'm afraid you've gone a little too far, right? ”

Last night, I figured out how Zhao Shushan "calculated" that Professor Fang had a bloody disaster.

After Professor Fang arrived at Wu Jiufu's ancestral home, Zhao Shushan and Li Dong must have found an opportunity to break the brake pads of the car, so that Professor Fang's car would lose control on the way.

He said that he went too far because Professor Fang was likely to fall to his death. And the rules of the Jiang Xiang faction clearly stipulate that no one can be killed!

Zhao Shushan was not as respectful as before this time, and only bowed slightly and said: "Uncle Shi, I am very measured, and his car will have problems if it is a little faster, so he can't fall to death." And ......"

"And what?" Seeing that he wanted to stop talking, I asked.

Zhao Shushan hesitated for a moment before replying: "And that professor smashed our fortune teller's field, which ruined our life." He ruined our life, even if he was unlucky and fell to his death that day, I can be regarded as eliminating the harm of our Jiang Xiang faction and other schools of fake fortune tellers! ”

I can't refute Zhao Shushan's words. His thinking is the traditional thinking of the older generation of Jianghu people, and it is precisely because of this that he is very interested in the rules and seniority of the Jiangxiang faction. In the eyes of the older generation of Jianghu people, "you cut off my financial route, I cut off your way of life" is a matter of course.

So I could only reluctantly say, "Okay, you're doing the right thing." ”

"Uncle Xie is tolerant. So what should we do now? Go to that gnome? Zhao Shushan asked.

It seems that Li Dong has already told him everything about last night. So I said, "It's not realistic for us to go to that gnome, we have to let the police do it." So let's start with a few bastards. ”

I asked Captain Feng for information about the gangsters, and then we took a taxi to Xicheng District, where the gangsters often haunt and collect protection money.

But I searched for a long time but couldn't find them. Until about two o'clock in the afternoon, we all felt hungry and had to choose to eat lunch first and then look for it.

Li Dong took us into a small restaurant.

It's not a meal, it's just us at the table. The dish was served quickly. While eating, Li Dong suddenly stopped, his eyes staring straight in the direction of the restaurant kitchen.

I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Dong said: "I seem to have seen a dwarf just now! He went into the kitchen! ”

Zhao Shushan said: "Li Dong, are you a little nervous? Lancheng is so big, there must be a lot of dwarves, and besides, the dwarf who scared your sister to death may have been found by them from somewhere else. So you can't just look at a guy who's a little shorter and be suspicious, right? ”

Li Dong thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There are indeed a lot of dwarfs in Lancheng, but there are definitely not many!" And the dwarf I saw just now was obviously thin, which was very much in line with the characteristics analyzed by Xiaolong at that time. Since we bumped into it today, let's check it out. ”

"Whatever you want." Zhao Shushan couldn't help him.

Li Dong called the waiter at this time, and took out a hundred yuan in cash and stuffed it into his hand.

The waiter was amazed. Although this hotel is not a small restaurant, it is not a luxury hotel, and guests who come here will probably not tip.

"Give it to you, and you'll take it!" Li Dong said, "I'll ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them well." ”

The waiter hurriedly put the money in his pocket, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, brother, just ask!" ”

"Do you have a dwarf in the back kitchen?"

"That's right! He originally wanted to learn to be a chef, but he couldn't reach the stove, so he could only do some work in the kitchen, such as mopping the floor and handing dishes, to help the chef, that is, to play lotus. ”

Li Dong seemed to be very satisfied with the waiter's answer, and asked, "Then in the past few days from last Tuesday to last Saturday, was he in the hotel?" ”

The dwarf who scared Li Nan to death was hidden on the ceiling of the bathroom from last Tuesday to last Saturday.

"Not there." The waiter replied, "He was absent for a week last week, and it is said that he went back to his hometown." ”

This answer made Zhao Shushan's eyes light up at the same time, and the plum cabbage button meat that had just been stuffed into his mouth forgot to chew.
