Monday, June 3rd, Memorial Day.

The alarm woke me up on time, and I stretched out tired and ready to get up. I touched my aching head and regretted that I had played poker too late last night.

Cao Yang and I both wore black suits to the first floor, and everyone was ready to go. Anyway, I didn't know where the memorial ceremony was going on, and when I asked the others, they said they didn't know.

"Is everyone here? There's your car outside, and I'll take you to the scene. Jiang Lao came down from the spiral staircase.

"What time does Elder Jiang start?" I asked curiously.

"It starts at ten o'clock, and there are more than two hours left." Jiang Lao looked at his phone. "Everyone is ready to go." After that, he came to the door and pointed to the bus on the left side of the gate.

"That...... Gu Hui didn't get up? Meyer whispered.

Because I was standing next to Meyer and I heard him clearly. "Why doesn't he get up?"

"I guess it's sleeping lazy again." After Meier whispered to me, he stopped Jiang Lao, "Gu Hui goes upstairs to get something, I'll go, you wait for us." Meier lied and went upstairs.

"Let's get in the car first and wait in the car." After Jiang Lao finished speaking, he got into the luxury car next to the bus.

We got into the car one after another, and for five or ten minutes, Meier and Gu Hui still didn't get down. We couldn't help but complain.

Fifteen minutes...... I saw Meier stumble after opening the gate and go straight to the bus. Sitting by the window, I subconsciously opened the window.

"Meyer, what's wrong?"

"The door won't be opened?" Meyer gasped.

"Is it Gu Hui's room?" Dayu then opened the window and shouted.

“yes！” Meyer spoke English excitedly.

"This Gu Hui just likes to sleep lazy." Dayu tried his best to ease the atmosphere in the car.

The people in the car all looked at each other, speechless. It's like they're all waiting for someone to make a decision. "Go upstairs and see how it goes, I don't believe he won't get up if we all go." Cao Yang got out of the car after speaking.

We all followed, Gu Hui's room was the first room on the left side of the second floor, and we came to the door. No matter how much we knocked on the door, there was no response from the people inside, and then I kept opening the door with brute force, but the door didn't move. Apparently they are locked up.

"Hurry up and find Lao Gao, he should have a spare key there." As soon as my words fell, Cao Yang immediately rushed downstairs.

Lao Gao and Jiang Lao are in the same car, Lao Gao is usually a housekeeper, and when Jiang Lao wants to travel, he becomes a personal driver.

Soon Cao Yang and Lao Gao appeared from the staircase, both gasping for breath.

"Here you go, here's the spare key." Lao Gao handed me the key.

When he opened the door, there was no sound in the room, and the slippers at the door were neatly placed on the shoe cabinet, and he came to the bed through the front hall, and there was still no Gu Hui on the bed. I stood by the window around the single bed, and I was really startled by what I saw.

Seeing Gu Hui lying motionless on the floor between the single bed and the window, I tried my best to calm myself and waved my hand to signal Cao Yang to come in. He seemed to realize what I meant, and saw him cautiously come to my side.

Perhaps because he had already prepared himself, Cao Yang looked very calm. We touched Gu Hui's skin, his skin had become a little soft, which was characteristic of being dead for more than eight hours.

"What does it smell like?" Cao Yang squatted at the position of Gu Hui's head.

I also tried to sniff it with my nose, and the smell did come from where Cao Yang was squatting. I gasped and slowly moved closer to Gu Hui's head, closing my eyes and getting closer and closer to the deceased's head.

"The taste? Familiar? I muttered quietly. Like ...... Almond flavor. I said in a volume that Cao Yang could hear.

Time was blank for about three seconds, "***! We both spoke in unison.

"Probably poisoned."

"But this house ......," Cao Yang said and looked at the door.

"That's right, this is a secret room, and it is impossible to commit a crime!"

Time stood still......

"What's wrong with Gu Hui? Did he faint? Dayu said with concern.

"Dead."

As soon as I finished speaking, there was an uproar at the door. I can't hear their gossip at the door, and I think most of them can't believe it.

Come to the door. "Lao Gao, hurry up and call the police."

He nodded, stepped aside and called the police. We didn't go downstairs for a long time, which made Jiang Lao very anxious. We never informed him of the specific situation, only to see Jiang Lao come to the second floor with some anger. A group of us stood neatly in front of the door.

"Isn't this kid going to get up?"

I looked at Jiang Lao and took a breath, "I'm sorry, he's dead." We've called the police, and it looks like the memorial ceremony ......."

Jiang Lao stood motionless three meters away from me, and I didn't dare to call him. After a while he took a big step with his right foot, but his left foot had just been raised...... He didn't move in a backward or backward direction, but fell to the right in an instant.

This situation really scared us, and Lao Gao and I rushed forward in a few big strides. Fortunately, it should just be a lack of blood supply to the brain that is too excited, Jiang Lao opened his eyes slightly, his lips trembled and wanted to speak. But no matter how much he opened his mouth, he couldn't speak.

Lao Gao carried Jiang Lao on his back, "I'll help Jiang Lao go back to the room to rest." When he walked to the middle of the second and third floors, he suddenly spoke, "By the way, we are relatively remote here, and it is estimated that it will take two hours for the police from Hongxing City to come here, so you can wait on the first floor, and today's memorial ceremony will not be held." Wait for Jiang Lao to recover and then see the situation. ”

I snorted.

"That's big news, I'm going back to the car and get my camera."

I saw that Deng Chen was a little happy and wanted to go downstairs, so I grabbed him. "What are you going to do?"

"Of course it's the news, the death of a well-known player. That's a lot of material. Deng Chen said arrogantly.

"If you do this, you won't be able to do it after the police come in a while, how can you report if you don't get the right to report, I'm also a policeman, aren't you afraid that I will sue you for obstructing official business?" In fact, I want to scare him, because even if I sue him, the court will give him a lenient punishment because of the special nature of the journalist, and he will probably be fined.

"Okay then, but you have to know that if you police want to report this, you must contact me as soon as possible?"

"You? I think or forget it? Besides, this decision is not up to me, it's at the Hongxing City Police Department. ”

Deng Chen pouted after hearing this, "Let go of me, can't I go to the first floor and stay?" ”

Our group came to the first floor and waited for the arrival of the police, Cao Yang and I were relatively calm, after all, it was not strange to see this kind of scene. The rest of the people seemed more nervous, especially Huang Guangcai and Meier, although they looked very rude, but when they encountered such a thing, their expressions were even more abrupt and disobedient.

"Is it suicide?" Lao Huang sat there and whispered. His words also aroused the curiosity of others for a while. They all cast curious glances at me and Cao Yang.

"I can't say it yet, let's wait for the police to come." I used this phrase to vaguely pass.

Sitting on the couch, I was in a daze, and I was not sure whether the deceased had killed him or committed suicide. Because Cao Yang and I just took a brief look at the scene, the real situation has to look at the autopsy report. But if it was really him who killed......

Judging from the skin condition of the deceased, the time of death of the deceased was about 12 o'clock yesterday, and even though the hot temperature in summer will speed up the speed at which the body will soften, it cannot be ruled out that the time of death of the deceased was on the eve of the memorial service.

I tried to think back to the situation last night, and at ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Hui returned to his room because of a headache. At about zero o'clock, Deng Chen went upstairs to get the charger because the mobile phone was out of power, but the time was only fifteen minutes, after Deng Chen came back, Meier clamored to go back to the room to get snacks, and Dayu also went back to the room to rest, and then the rest of the game team also went upstairs to rest. Lao Gao's words have been cleaning with me on the first floor, and his room is located on the first floor, and the chance of committing a crime is not great, what about Jiang Lao, can he really kill people at such an age?

If I exclude, Cao Yang, Lao Gao and Jiang Lao, it is possible that the murderer will be among the other four people, but is it really like what I thought?

While I was thinking, Lao Gao also came down. "Jiang Lao's condition has improved, and now that he is sleeping, everyone doesn't have to worry."

I breathed a sigh of relief, if Jiang Laoyi couldn't afford to be sick, it would be really a misfortune in misfortune, I thought to myself.

As I sat on the couch, I faintly heard the sound of a police car, which was getting closer and closer. "Bang bang bang" someone knocked on the door, Lao Gao opened the door, and sure enough, it was the police from Hongxing City.

I saw that the leader was a scrawny criminal policeman, and I couldn't help but sigh that I was still a policeman so thin. The skinny cop pulled out his police card from his pocket.

"Hello, I am the captain of the Hongxing City Criminal Police Brigade, and my name is Wang Lijun."

"The murder scene is in the first room on the left side of the second floor." Lao Gao closed the door after speaking.

"Come up with me." After Wang Lijun finished speaking, he went upstairs with five or six policemen, and I think some of them were probably forensic and forensic classes.

Walking halfway to the first and second floors, Wang Lijun turned his head, "We will ask you to come up and ask about the situation one by one, you can wait patiently here." None of you will come up without my command. ”

After I saw all the police going upstairs, I walked to the corner of the living room and made a gesture to Cao Yang. He pointed to himself and walked over suspiciously.

"What's the matter, call me over. Let's wait on the couch. ”

"Do you think that cop is reliable?"

Cao Yang looked at me suspiciously, "After all, he is the captain of the criminal police brigade in Hongxing City, so he should be able to." ”

"I don't think so, I always think he's not reliable."

"Then what do you mean ......"

Cao Yang didn't say anything further halfway through.

"That's right, I'm going to investigate separately, and I hope you can help me." I say it seriously.

"Don't, after all, in other people's territory, I know I can't persuade you, if you want to investigate yourself, try to find out through the police, if the police don't want to tell you, don't force it too much." Cao Yang said helplessly.

I nodded, "I've got my own measure." ”

Ten minutes later, the police carried the body of the deceased downstairs, covered with a white cloth, but there was already some sour smell because of the long period of death. Everyone also covered their noses and didn't dare to look.

Half an hour later, I saw a relatively young policeman come down from the second floor, "That housekeeper, you come up first." ”

Lao Gao heard his name called, rubbed his hands on his chest, and nervously went up to the second floor. Ten minutes later, Lao Gao called Dayu. I wanted to ask the police what they were asking, but I didn't expect there to be a policeman standing at the door, and I think I had just become a policeman." You must not talk to each other to prevent you from colluding with each other. "The young detective looked up at us and said that I could even see his nostrils as I sat on the couch.

Another ten minutes, Dayu called Meier; Another ten minutes Meyer called Deng Chen, another ten minutes later Deng Chen called Lao Huang, and then Cao Yang.

Cao Yang's interrogation was a bit long, and about twenty minutes later, Cao Yang came down from the second floor, and he pouted and motioned for me to go upstairs.

The interrogation room was arranged at the end of the corridor on the left, the tables and chairs were also taken from each room, the simple interrogation room was stopped by a police cordon, there were two policemen outside the line, I glanced inside, the skinny Wang Lijun nodded, and the criminal police outside the cordon let me in.

"You're so magnificent!" I sat down and said with bad intentions.

"What's the grandeur?"

"Your subordinates are talking too badly, aren't you just scaring us by doing this?"

I regretted it after I said it, and if I had a hard time with him at this time, it would be difficult for him not to have personal emotions in it later. I gasped, ready for the upcoming inquiry.

"I'm sorry if my men make you feel uncomfortable, because they're all young, they've only been on the job for less than half a year, and every time they go out to the police, they look a little too frizzy." Wang Lijun's words were very sincere.

I looked at him, he was about the same age as my captain, Ouyang Huasheng.

"No, no, I will fully cooperate with the police."

"Okay, then let me ask you, what did you do after twelve o'clock last night?" Wang Lijun looked into my eyes.

Sure enough, I guessed correctly, the time of the deceased's death was after twelve o'clock, I thought to myself.

"After twelve o'clock, I just played poker until about one o'clock, and then cleaned the first floor with Lao Gao is the housekeeper, and after cleaning, it was about two o'clock, and then I went back to the room to rest?" My answer was well organized.

"Why do you clean the first floor? Isn't this job a steward? ”

"We play poker bets, whoever loses more cleans, and Lao Gao sees that I am too tired and joins me."

"I see. Then I see that there are six rooms on this floor, but I see that there are seven people in total, including the deceased and your guests, and there are no of you who came temporarily. ”

"That person is me, I came with my colleague, you also know that this is Jiang Lei's third anniversary memorial, as a fan, I will drag this relationship." My answer was clear and concise.

I saw him frowning and thinking for a moment.

"Do you usually like to drink sugar water?"

I was puzzled by his nonsensical question, why I asked this question, and I sneered, "Don't drink much, unless you're done." ”

"Well, thank you, I'm done asking, you can go."

I stood up and was about to turn away, "You're a cop, right?" Wang Lijun asked in a low voice.

"How do you know, I'm a police officer, and I'm a detective like you."

"I saw that the scene seemed to have been moved, although it had been touched by someone, but it did not damage the scene at all, so I concluded that there were people who were very professional, and several of them were celebrities, so I thought it should be among the others, that Lao Huang was very honest, Deng Chen was very cunning, and their answers seemed to be very scared and the other seemed to be clever. That's all I think you and the person named Cao Yang before me are the police. ”

"Then you're really good, you will analyze and have nothing to do with the case." My words were sarcastic, and I turned and walked away.

"Where do you two work?"

I don't look back," Shangju City. ”
