Lao Bao slowly stood up, he took off the microphone and headphones from his waist, threw them on the table beside him, and at the same time picked up a box of cigarettes and a lighter from the table, and sat down on the chair again.

He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, as if to calm himself. Then he wiped the corners of his eyes, slowly raised his head to look at me, and said, "I'm sure that the one who killed Mu Wei was his younger brother, Mu Kui." ”

I said, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Lao Bao sat up straight, took a puff of cigarette and said: "Because Mu Kui was originally a candidate to take over as the chairman of Mu Jue Group, I didn't expect that in the end, when Old Man Mu was dying, he actually passed the position of chairman to Mu Wei, who was sick, so Mu Kui was extremely unbalanced in his heart and held a grudge against Mu Wei. ”

I said: "It is not uncommon for wealthy families to have tragic incidents between wealthy families to seize family property, but from what we have so far, the evidence is still very insufficient to say that it is fratricidal. Can you briefly describe the relationship between these two brothers? ”

Lao Bao took a few more puffs of cigarettes, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on the unextinguished cigarette butt with his foot and twisted it a few times, and continued: "Mu Jianjun, the old chairman of Mu Jue Group, has two children under his knees, the eldest Mu Wei and the second Mu Kui. At the time when Mu Wei was born, family planning in the city was very strict, and almost a family could only have one child at that time. However, the first child of the Mu family suffered from a strange disease, and it was difficult to treat. So Old Man Mu found someone to entrust him and approved the Mu family to have another one, and then there was Mu Kui. The Mu family's business is getting bigger and bigger, Mu Wei is sick, and the Mu family just needs him to live happily, and they don't have much hope for him. Moreover, Old Man Mu originally planned to hand over the Mu Jue Group to Mu Kui to take care of, and this plan was decided from the moment he gave birth to Mu Kui. But this healthy Mu Kui, born in a wealthy family, has been spoiled since he was a child, so that he has developed the virtue of being lazy and lazy, having no one in his eyes, and not learning and not knowing. On the other hand, Mu Wei, who was sick, although he couldn't go to school like a normal child, he took the initiative to ask his family to hire a tutor for him, and in the end he not only completed his studies, but also got an MBA degree. ”

Lao Bao paused, lit another cigarette and continued: "But because of Mu Wei's physical reasons, Old Man Mu's consideration of the successor of Mu Jue Group has not changed, and he has always had the illusion that his second son will slowly change after he succeeds to power. Until two years ago, Mu Kui was arrested for drug abuse in the United States, and Mr. Mu was completely disappointed. So on his deathbed, he passed the position of chairman of Mu Jue Group to Mu Wei. Since then, Mu Kui has hated Mu Wei to the core, and threatened to take back the Mu Jue Group. So I concluded that Mu Wei's death was inseparable from Mu Kui. ”

I shook my head and sighed: "The old chairman is also a business elite, but in today's society, why is there still a traditional concept of a son inheriting his father's business?" If there is no suitable heir, you can hire a professional manager to manage the company, why bother to let the two brothers turn against each other because of the problem of family business. ”

Lao Bao looked at me, smoked a cigarette, was silent for a while, and shook his head helplessly.

I asked again, "Where does Mu Kui live now?" ”

Lao Bao said: "I have been in the United States before, and I don't know if I have returned to China recently." Even if he hadn't returned to China, he could have hired a professional killer to do it. That Mu Kui is ruthless, and there are many crooked ways to do it. ”

I nodded and said, "Mu Kui, I'll focus on investigating." But there's one more thing I'd like to know. ”

Lao Bao said: "I know what you want to ask, Mu Wei and Jiang Yinglan are both subordinate and subordinate relationships, but also a couple relationship, I can only tell you so much." ”

Lao Bao's sentence "I can only tell you so much" obviously shows that the two have some deeper relationships, but looking at Lao Bao's expression, he will not reveal it to me again.

I looked at the frustrated old bag, lit a cigarette and said, "Brother, thank you for giving us so many clues. Why don't we go out and drink again? ”

Lao Bao leaned back in his chair, looked at me and said, "I said that these are all for Mu Wei." I want to be quiet, I don't want to drink anymore. Go and drink it, and give it to me. ”

I smiled, stood up and patted Lao Bao's shoulder, signaling Tang Zhenguo and Xiao Liu to leave.

We didn't continue drinking, but walked straight out of the Cripple Club.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the night was very quiet, and occasionally a taxi drove by, and the sound of the engine briefly echoed in the night, and was instantly swallowed up by the silence of the night.

In the alleys surrounding the entertainment venues, there are always some night market stalls that offer late-night snacks for people after the madness.

The three of us found a noodle stall, ordered three bowls of chaotic noodles, and sat down on the plastic low stool, chatting while eating.

Tang Zhenguo said with a mouthful of confusion: "The bald head just now said that the murderer is the younger brother of the deceased, I think this is quite reliable, the motive is very clear, to compete for family status." Ouyang, didn't you say that the motive for killing is very important? You see, there seems to be only one motive for killing now. ”

I poured some vinegar into the bowl, flipped the chaos a few times, and said: "Indeed, the motive for this murder and the history of the Mu family can tell some questions, that is, the suspect is not only a person in the Mu Jue Mansion, but now there is an additional Mu Kui. After speaking, I took a bite of chaos, as if I had put too much vinegar and sour.

Xiao Liu put the chopsticks on the bowl, looked at me and said, "When that old bag heard you ask about the relationship between Mu Wei and Jiang Yinglan just now, he reacted very much, although he said it later, but it felt like there was something in the words." ”

I nodded and said, "That's a clue too." For this case, I will be a conspiracy theorist and expand the scope of Mu Wei's death. Jiang Yinglan and Mu Wei are a couple, what do you think Jiang Yinglan likes about Mu Wei? ”

Tang Zhenguo said disdainfully: "Nonsense, I must have taken a fancy to Mu Wei's money, this kind of beautiful woman is the most poisonous scorpion, there is no bottom line, what else do they have in their eyes besides money?" Ouyang, maybe Mu Wei was killed by this woman. ”

I smiled, knowing that Tang Zhenguo was not lightly injured by women, so he had some prejudice against women, especially beautiful women. But his words are not unreasonable, a 19-year-old beautiful woman became the girlfriend of a sick man in her thirties, and also became the man's secretary, which shows that this woman's ambitions and means are not simple.

Thinking of this, I said, "I can't deny this assumption of Zhenguo. As I said just now, I want to be a conspiracy theorist this time, so I will now make a summary and summarize that there are four possibilities for Mu Wei's death? ”

"Four possibilities?" Both were surprised.

I nodded and said, "Yes, four possibilities." The first is suicide; the second is to be killed by Jiang Yinglan, which is a love killing; the third is to be killed by Mu Kui, who is far away in the United States, which belongs to the competition for family business; The fourth is to be killed by Mo Qinmian, the general manager of the group, which is a vendetta. ”

Tang Zhenguo was a little puzzled after hearing this: "What enmity does Mo Qinmian have with Mu Wei?" ”

I said: "Mu Wei's coming to power may affect Mo Qinmi's future in the Mu Jue Group, and he may even have to be dismissed." ”

Xiao Liu said: "Oh! I have also heard that the Mujue Group has suffered a serious decline in financial revenue in recent years, as if it is caused by this inaction. ”

Tang Zhenguo shaved the chaos in the bowl, and then said: "Four possibilities, four investigation directions, Ouyang, you are busy now." ”

I smiled and said, "It's better to have a direction than no direction, and it's better to be busy than to be idle!"

After eating the chaos, Xiao Liu sent me and Tang Zhenguo home, and Tang Zhenguo rushed into his bedroom and slept with his head covered.

This case completely opened my mind, so I didn't feel sleepy at all. I simply did a few weird experiments in my studio.

Under the microscope, I looked at the red blood cells, and wondered in my heart, Mu Wei, who suffers from porphyria, this man with the nickname of the vampire count, does he have any secrets that no one knows? It seems that I still need to understand him deeply and dig into him.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I kicked Tang Zhenguo's bedroom open, dragged him out of bed, he looked at me sleepily, looked at his mobile phone again, and said: "I work for you, it's 9 to 5, but that 5 is 5 in the morning." ”

"Less nonsense!" I threw the clothes and pants on the back of the chair to Tang Zhenguo and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

It was another sunny day, listening to the taxi driver's endless talk, we came to the Mujue Building in the Economic Development Zone. I had already contacted Lao Lu before, and he was already waiting for us at the door of the Mujue Building.

During the day, the Mujue Building looks magnificent, with floor-to-ceiling blue windows that make the whole building look like a giant deep blue crystal. It is said that the architectural idea of this building came from the blue crystal.

After the location where Mu Wei fell last night, the bloodstains have been completely washed away. Gu Jun, the captain of the security guard, was standing in the morning light, squinting his eyes and looking at the roof of the building, I also looked up, and felt that the blue light was very dazzling.

As soon as Lao Lu met, he asked, "What did you find when you went to the bar last night?" ”

I sold a pass and said: "It's a very important clue, but now you have to accompany me to find a small clue, maybe this small clue will become the key to solving the case." ”

Me, Tang Zhenguo, Lao Lu and Captain Gu, our group quickly came to the 37th floor of the building and found the manager who heard the strange sound before.

As the manager said, his office is located at the back of the building, and his office is next to a fully enclosed floor-to-ceiling window.

I sat the manager at his desk, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, took off my right shoe, and kicked the window so hard that it made a dull sound, which showed that the window was extremely solid tempered glass.

I turned my head, looked at the manager and said, "Is this what you heard last night?" ”

He said, "You kick a few more times." ”

I kicked a few more times, and as I did, I distanced myself from the manager.

The manager suddenly stood up and said affirmatively, "Yes, that's the voice." ”
