Just when Xu Lang and Shangguan Jing had just stepped into the gate of the orphanage, the mobile phone in Xu Lang's pocket rang.

"Jingle bells."

Xu Lang stopped, took out his mobile phone and took a look, and found that it was Lu Xing calling, Xu Lang had some doubts in his heart, but he still connected the phone.

"Brother Lang, where are you now?" Lu Xing asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.

"I'm in the West Side of the City, what's wrong?" Hearing Lu Xing's anxious tone, Xu Lang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Are you at Yao Wenlin's house?" Lu Xing continued to ask.

"No, I'm in the orphanage in the west of the city, what happened?" Xu Lang asked rhetorically.

"Just now, the Chengxi District Public Security Bureau received a call from the police, saying that Yao Wenlin died at home."

"What? Yao Wenlin is dead? Xu Lang asked in surprise.

"Yes, Team Ning, they have already driven over, and it is estimated that they will arrive there in half an hour, since you are in the west of the city, you can go and have a look first." Lu Xing said.

"Okay, I got it."

Xu Lang hung up the phone after speaking, and his brows furrowed again.

When he put down his phone, he felt that there was a line of sight staring at him, Xu Lang followed this feeling and found that Shangguan Jing was standing not far from him without knowing when, looking at him with a smile.

After seeing Shangguan Jing, Xu Lang's brows became more and more furrowed, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't tell what was wrong.

Shangguan Jing saw that Xu Lang's face was not very good-looking, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Xu Lang stared into Shangguan Jing's eyes and said, "Yao Wenlin is dead?" ”

Xu Lang didn't see any panic and dodging in Shangguan Jing's eyes, only doubts and puzzlement, she blinked a pair of charming eyes, looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression, and asked puzzledly: "Who is Yao Wenlin?" ”

Xu Lang stared at her for a while, but he still didn't see anything, so he shook his head, and said secretly in his heart, could it be that I've been too nervous lately, and it's wrong to see that nothing is right?

Thinking of this, Xu Lang said apologetically to Shangguan Jing: "I'm sorry, I may not be able to go to see the children today, something happened, I have to go to the scene." ”

Shangguan Jing hesitated, nodded, and said, "Since you have something to do, go and get busy first, and then come over when you're done." ”

Regarding Shangguan Jing's words, Xu Lang was noncommittal, neither nodded in agreement, nor shook his head in refusal, he turned around and walked out of the orphanage in the west of the city, and walked according to Yao Wenlin's home address that Lu Xing had found during the day.

Shangguan Jing looked at Xu Lang's back as he gradually moved away, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he still maintained a smile on his face.

————

Yao Wenlin's home is three blocks away from the orphanage in the west of the city, and Xu Lang walked across the street to the door of a community.

When Xu Lang came here, he found that there were many people around the downstairs of the community, most of them were old men and old women, and in the crowd there were police officers in police uniforms, shuttling back and forth inside, and these onlookers were pointing at the fifth floor of a building, talking about something in a whisper.

Xu Lang didn't listen to what they were talking about, but squeezed through the crowd and walked inside.

Xu Lang came to the door of a unit and found that two policemen were guarding the staircase, and when Xu Lang walked over, one of the policemen stretched out his hand to stop Xu Lang and said, "The police are handling the case, and you can't go up here for the time being." ”

Xu Lang didn't break in, but took out his criminal investigation consultant's certificate, handed it to him, and then said: "I'm Xu Lang, I heard that there was a murder case here, I want to go to the scene to see." ”

After the policeman saw Xu Lang's certificate, he looked at Xu Lang again, then handed the document to Xu Lang, saluted Xu Lang, and then got out of the way and let Xu Lang go up.

Xu Lang took back his documents and asked as he walked towards it, "What floor is the murder scene on?" ”

"Fifth Floor, 503."

"Thank you."

After Xu Lang said this, he took the elevator to the fifth floor.

When the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, Xu Lang stepped down from the elevator, looked at both sides, and found that a cordon was set up on the left side of the elevator door, and many police officers were busy at the scene, Xu Lang walked straight to that side.

"Who are you? You can't come in here. A middle-aged man with thick glasses and a slightly fat figure looked at Xu Lang and asked.

Xu Lang took out his ID again and handed it to the man, while saying: "I am Xu Lang, the criminal investigation consultant of the Public Security Bureau, I heard that there was a murder case here, I want to go in and have a look." ”

After the middle-aged man glanced at Xu Lang's documents, he handed them to Xu Lang, stretched out one and said with a smile: "I have heard of Consultant Xu's name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet, hello, my name is Cao Zhiyi, and I am the captain of the Chengxi Criminal Investigation Detachment." ”

Xu Lang took back his documents, stretched out his hand and shook Cao Zhiyi, and then said, "Captain Cao, can I go in now?" ”

"Yes, yes." Cao Zhiyi hurriedly said.

Xu Lang stood outside the cordon, looked at Cao Zhiyi and said, "Can you give me a pair of gloves and shoe covers?" I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Cao Zhiyi glanced at the criminal policeman standing at the door as he spoke, and the criminal policeman hurriedly took out a pair of gloves and a pair of shoe covers and handed them to Xu Lang.

After Xu Lang took it, he thanked him, bent down and put on his shoe covers and gloves, and after doing all this, Xu Lang lifted the cordon and walked into the scene.

After Xu Lang walked into the scene, he didn't smell the familiar smell of blood, he was a little puzzled, looked around, didn't see the corpse, and was a little puzzled, so Xu Lang turned his head to look at Cao Zhiyi.

Cao Zhiyi seemed to know what Xu Lang wanted to ask, so he walked in front of Xu Lang and said, "The body is in the bathroom." ”

Xu Lang nodded, and followed Cao Zhiyi into the bathroom, Yao Wenlin's bathroom is very large, there is a big bathtub in the bathroom, and the ground in the bathroom is full of water, Xu Lang stepped on the water, walked in and took a look, and found that there was a naked-naked-naked man's body soaked in the water.

The man closed his eyes, his expression was serene, as if he was asleep, Xu Lang walked over, bent down and subconsciously stretched out his hand to probe the man's snort, without the slightest breath, Xu Lang stretched out his hand and touched the man's neck again, and found that the man's muscles were very cold, and the corpse was slightly stiff, Xu Lang rolled the man's eyelids again, and found that the man's eyeballs had been cloudy, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while.

Xu Lang looked at the man's body again, and found that there was no obvious wound on the man's body, and the water in the bathtub was also very clear, without the slightest trace of blood, let alone the slightest smell of blood, and on the table next to the bathtub, there was a red wine glass, and there was only a little red wine stain left in the glass, Xu Lang picked up the red wine glass and put it under his nose and smelled it, feeling that the smell of red wine was a little weird, Xu Lang frowned and put the red wine glass back in its original place.

Xu Lang stood up straight, looked around again, and after looking at the bathroom, he found that everything in the bathroom was complete, there was no trace of a fight, and there were no obvious wounds on the deceased's body, which looked a bit like suicide.

Xu Lang exited the bathroom, stood at the door, looked at the corpse still soaked in the bathtub, and frowned.

"Advisor Xu, do you see something?" Cao Zhiyi stood at the door, looked at Xu Lang's side face and asked.

"The corpse has begun to appear stiff, the eyelids appear cloudy, and it is initially inferred that the deceased died for about four to five hours, but the deceased's body was soaked in cold water, and the cold water will quickly take away the residual heat of the corpse and accelerate the formation of mortis, so the death time of the deceased should be delayed by one to two hours."

Xu Lang said this, looked at the watch on his wrist and said: "It's a quarter past six o'clock, and the time of death of the deceased is about three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Lang continued: "There were no traces of a struggle at the scene, the expression of the deceased was very peaceful, there was no trace of struggle before death, and it looked like he had died of some kind of medicine. ”

"Bang bang."

Cao Zhiyi clapped his palms, looked at Xu Lang with admiration and said: "As soon as the expert makes a move, I will know if there is one, I used to hear all kinds of deeds of Consultant Xu, I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that Consultant Xu is really powerful." ”

Xu Lang waved his hand and said, "When did you find the body?" Who called the police? ”

About half an hour ago, when the neighbor next door came back from picking up the child, she found that the door of the deceased's room was wide open, she was a little strange, so she was ready to come over and ask what was going on, just walked into the room, she heard the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and the bathroom door was not closed, she stood at the door and shouted twice, no one responded to her, she came to the bathroom door boldly, and found the deceased lying in the bathtub, and the tap of the bathtub was still running water, and the deceased's head was up and down with the water, At first, she thought that the other party was asleep, and she was going to leave, but after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong, so she stood at the door of the bathroom, stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and found that the deceased had not moved, she did not dare to go in, so she exited the room and called the police. Cao Zhiyi said.

After Xu Lang listened, he pondered for a while and asked, "Besides the informant who entered the room, has anyone else come in?" ”

"Yes, the staff of the property has come in before, and he also went into the bathroom to turn off the faucet, as for the others, no one has ever come in again." Cao Zhiyi continued.

"What did he do other than turn off the faucet?" Xu Lang asked.

Cao Zhiyi thought about it, but he didn't know, so he said to the two criminal policemen and a man standing at the door: "Xiao Li, you bring the property over for a while." ”

Hearing Cao Zhiyi's business, one of the two criminal policemen who was asking a man about something, immediately closed the notebook in his hand and brought the man over.

The man's height is about 1.75 meters, not too tall, but not short, Xu Lang found that his walking pace is not the same as that of ordinary people, a bit like a soldier.

After the man came over, Xu Lang asked directly: "Are you a veteran?" ”

The man looked at Xu Lang for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, how do you know?" ”

Xu Lang didn't answer this question, but asked, "What's your name?" Why enter the home of the deceased? ”

"My name is Zhao Kuan, and I received a call from the 502 resident in the bedroom, saying that the 503 resident seemed to be drowned in the bathtub, and asked us to come up and take a look at the property, so I came in." Zhao Kuan explained.

"You came in alone?" Xu Lang asked.

"But it's time to get off work, everyone else is gone, and I'm the only one left."

"You went into the bathroom and turned off the faucet?" Xu Lang continued to ask.

Zhao Kuan nodded and said, "If I don't close it, the water will keep flowing, and it may seep into the building at that time." ”

For Zhao Kuan's explanation, Xu Lang nodded, Zhao Kuan did right, this is what a conscientious property should do, Xu Lang asked again: "When you entered the bathroom, was the deceased already dead?" ”

Zhao Kuan nodded and said, "When I went in, I shouted twice, but the other party didn't answer, so I stretched out my hand and put it under his nose for an interview, and found that he was no longer breathing, and his body had become cold." ”

"What did you do other than go into the bathroom and turn off the faucet?" Xu Lang asked.

Zhao Kuan shook his head and said, "No, I exited the bathroom after turning off the faucet, and when I just exited the bathroom and walked to the door, your police arrived." ”

Hearing Zhao Kuan say this, Xu Lang turned his head to look at Cao Zhiyi, Cao Zhiyi nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, when we came up, we just saw him coming out of the room." ”

Xu Lang turned his head, glanced at Zhao Kuan again, and continued to ask, "Who is the owner of this house?" Is it the one who died in the bathroom? ”

Zhao Kuan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bathroom, nodded, and said, "The resident of 503 is called Yao Wenlin, and he is the one who died in the bathroom." ”

"Does he live alone? Is there anyone else in the family? ”

Zhao Kuan shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that he is the only one who lives." ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Zhiyi asked on the side.

Zhao Kuan hurriedly explained: "Yao Wenlin is the earliest batch of residents in our community, he seems to be a factory, every day to work and get off work very late, I have been in the property for more than five years, every time I see Yao Wenlin, I see that he is alone, but"

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuan looked at Xu Lang and stopped talking.

"But what?" Xu Lang asked.

"If you know something, say it quickly, don't grind and chirp, and spit it out." Cao Zhiyi scolded.

Zhao Kuan nodded hurriedly and said, "I just occasionally see that when Yao Wenlin drives back from work, there will be a man sitting in the co-pilot." ”

Hearing Zhao Kuan say this, Xu Lang's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "Man? What kind of man? ”

Zhao Kuan frowned, and after trying to recall, he said: "The men who come here are different every time, but they all have one characteristic. ”

"What are the characteristics?"

"It's very delicate, very white, and, several times, when I saw them get out of the car, the men who followed Yao Wenlin would affectionately hold Yao Wenlin's arm, looking like a little bird, we also said in private"

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuan scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"What did you say?" Cao Zhiyi glared at Zhao Kuan fiercely and asked.

"To say that Yao Wenlin is a homosexual and a pervert." Zhao Kuan said with some embarrassment.

The word homosexuality, Cao Zhiyi's brows subconsciously picked up, wrinkled together, and his eyes showed contempt and disgust, while Xu Lang didn't react at all, it seemed that he was no longer surprised, he looked at Zhao Kuan and asked, "Didn't Yao Wenlin bring a woman back?" ”

Zhao Kuan thought for a long time this time, and finally raised his head to look at Xu Lang, shook his head, and said uncertainly: "It seems that there is none." ”

"Yes is yes, no is no, what does it mean to seem to have?" Cao Zhiyi said sharply again.

Being scolded by Cao Zhiyi like this, Zhao Kuan subconsciously took two steps back and said in a low voice: "I don't know Yao Wenlin very well, I just know each other, has he ever brought a woman back, how do I know?" ”

"You"

Cao Zhiyi stretched out a finger and pointed at Zhao Kuan, looked at Zhao Kuan with a warm and angry face, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Lang, he looked at Zhao Kuan and asked, "How many times have you seen Yao Wenlin bring men back?" ”

Zhao Kun stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers, thought for a while, and said, "Almost a dozen times." ”

"Are you sure he brings a different man every time?" Xu Lang continued to ask.

Zhao Kuan nodded affirmatively this time and said, "I'm sure." ”

Xu Lang asked this, and after pondering for a while, he said to Cao Zhiyi: "I have nothing to ask. ”

After saying that, Xu Lang left the bathroom door and began to walk around the room.

Yao Wenlin's home is very large, with three bedrooms, a study, a bathroom, a toilet, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room, and everything is very complete.

Xu Lang first came to the largest bedroom, the windows in the bedroom were opened, the curtains were also opened, the furnishings in the room were also very simple, there were no photos hanging on the walls, there were two wardrobes in the bedroom, Xu Lang walked over and opened one of them to take a look, and found that there were expensive suits inside, these suits were all well organized, without a trace of wrinkles, Xu Lang walked to the front of another wardrobe, opened the wardrobe and looked, there were some casual clothes inside.

Xu Lang flipped through it casually and found that these clothes were all men's clothes, and there were no women's clothes in them.

There were no special clues found in the wardrobe, Xu Lang walked to the side of the bed, and found that there was a bedside table next to the bed, and a small table lamp was placed on the cabinet. ”
