Chapter 7: Solving the Puzzle (I)

"Luo Yan!" Yan Junli shouted.

"Huh? Hey, this isn't Captain Yan, why are you here? Luo Yan had an innocent expression, "Is something going on here?" ”

"You still have the face to say! You tricked me into framing me! Yan Junli roared angrily, "Luo Yan, hand over the necklace you stole!" ”

On the other hand, Zhu Bairong, who found that the necklace was really missing, also began to panic, "Necklace...... The necklace is really gone, who took it! ”

It didn't take long for even Zhu Bairong's uncle Zhu Haoran and his wife to come over, and the scene became even more chaotic. Everyone was talking babbling, and it was impossible to hear who was who.

And Yang Wenbin finally broke out in the unbearable, "Quiet!! ”

Probably never heard this short man speak in such a loud voice, and everyone was stunned for a moment. And Yang Wenbin didn't give them time to react, and walked directly to the center of the crowd.

"First of all, when was the necklace stolen?" Yang Wenbin turned to Zhu Bairong and asked, "Miss Zhu, when did you leave the room?" Where did you go after leaving the room? ”

"I ......" Zhu Bairong was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "I left the room after dinner, I went to my uncle to talk about some family affairs, and I didn't know that my room was ...... until I heard the noise."

Yang Wenbin nodded, "Who is your uncle?" ”

"That, yes, it's me." At this time, a tall and thin man came out of the crowd, who seemed to be very nervous, and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, "My name is Zhu Zhixin, and I am Bai Rong's uncle." Bai Rong came from eight o'clock and stayed in my room until just ten o'clock. ”

"What exactly time did she leave the room?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"I looked at my watch when I went out, and it was half past eight." Zhu Bairong replied.

Yang Wenbin nodded, "That means that in this hour and a half, Zhu Bairong's room is empty. So guys, where are you and what are you doing tonight between half past eight and ten o'clock? ”

Yang Wenbin's domineering appearance seemed to annoy Zhu Haoran, and the fat man complained indignantly while waving his fist, "Hey, which green onion are you, why do we have to report our whereabouts to you?" ”

"You'd better listen to him." Yan Junli spread his hands helplessly, "Don't look at him like this, but he has solved two homicide cases in City C, a serial murder case and the detective who worked together to defeat the largest underworld drug gang in City C, and even the police station has to give him three points of face." ”

Zhu Haoran immediately didn't dare to say anything when he heard this, after all, he had also read Yan Junli's certificate just now, and knew that what this person said had weight.

Yang Wenbin threw a grateful look at Yan Junli, cleared his throat and continued to ask, "What are you all doing during the time from half past eight to ten o'clock?" ”

The first to speak was Zhu Haoran's wife Mao Yingqin, Mao Yingqin said, "I was in the restaurant at half past eight, and I ate late because I was delayed before, and the guests and waiters in the restaurant can prove it." ”

"Have you been in the dining room until ten o'clock?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"It's not." Mao Yingqin seemed to be a little reluctant and said, "I'll go back to my room after eating at nine o'clock, and then stay alone until just now." ”

"Can someone prove it for you?"

"Nope."

"Mr. Zhu Haoran and Miss Mao Yingqin should be in the same room, right?" Yang Wenbin turned his head to Zhu Haoran, who had a black face on the side, and asked, "Where was Mr. Zhu at that time?" ”

Zhu Haoran's face was red and white for a while, and finally waved his hand as if giving up, "Okay, then I'll say it." Actually, I had a bit of friction with Mao Yingqin tonight, and neither of us was very happy. At half-past eight I went to the bar on the fourth floor by myself, and although there were few people at the time, I was sure to recognize me because I had been talking to the bartender for a while. ”

"Do you stay until ten o'clock?"

"That's right." Zhu Haoran nodded, "Ah yes, when it was almost nine o'clock, I met that little girl, she sat next to me and asked for a glass of orange juice." ”

"Luo Yan?" Yang Wenbin looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Haoran and asked in some surprise.

"You actually have the money to go to a bar?" Yan Junli immediately turned his head to look at Luo Yan, and a sense of humiliation of being deceived arose.

"What's the matter, I still have the money for a glass of orange juice." Luo Yan immediately pinched his waist and said arrogantly, "Ah, by the way, my alibi is right?" I've been shopping around the gift shop since half-past eight, and all the owners can prove it to me, and I bought a keychain, and the owner of that shop must remember me. I went to the bar at nine o'clock and sat down, and the uncle said that I happened to sit next to him and stayed until almost ten o'clock. ”

"Then you might as well come back and steal something in the last minute!" Yan Junli couldn't help but complain.

"What are you kidding?" Luo Yan glared at Yan Junli and said, "You can ask this uncle to tell me when I left." ”

Zhu Haoran thought for a while and said, "It should be...... I left two or three minutes early, and then I heard a noise coming from downstairs, so I went downstairs, and when I came over, it was like this. ”

"That's it!" Luo Yan said arrogantly, "In two or three minutes, even a smart girl like me can't avoid the security guards, pry open the door, and finally steal the necklace quickly, right?" ”

"The room was unguarded for a full hour and a half, and in the end, the good guy was wronged for a thief, and I don't think it's hard to avoid these security guards." Yan Junli scoffed.

Several security guards lowered their heads in embarrassment, and one of them whispered, "This, it's because we thought it was nothing, so we went to play cards with a few buddies......

"Yan Junli, what about you?" Yang Wenbin interrupted Yan Junli's taunt with a headache and asked.

"Huh? What am I? ”

"What were you doing at half-past eight?" Yang Wenbin glared at him, "You can't let me give you special treatment at this time!" ”

"Oh!" Yan Junli touched his nose and said seriously, "I played with you on the first floor, and you didn't catch it ten times, and you still pestered me for coins to let me catch it for you." ”

At that moment, Yang Wenbin really wanted to slap this open-mouthed idiot to death.

"Ahem," Yang Wenbin tried to bring the topic back on track amid everyone's chuckles, and he said to Zhu Bairong, "Miss Zhu, can I come into your room and do some investigations?" ”

Zhu Bairong nodded, "Of course you can." ”

After Yang Wenbin got permission, he walked into Zhu Bairong's room, first squatted at the door, and looked left and right at the door. Then he approached the room again, picked up the empty jewelry box on the table, and looked at it carefully.

"Luo Yan. Can I see your hands? After investigating the room, Yang Wenbin suddenly turned around and said to Luo Yan.

"What, what!" Luo Yan asked very nervously.

"What's the matter, it's just an investigation."

Luo Yan had no choice but to reluctantly stretch out her hand, give Yang Wenbin a look, and quickly retract it.

The people around looked at each other, no one dared to speak loudly, and they all waited with bated breath for Yang Wenbin to finish the investigation.

Fortunately, Yang Wenbin soon showed a satisfied smile. He turned around and said, "It's a very simple case, I already know what it's about. ”

"Huh? Don't you need to ask about other people's alibi? Zhu Bairong asked with some surprise.

"No need." Yang Wenbin said confidently, "I have already determined that the thief is among the people I just asked." If you want to ask why......"

Yang Wenbin's gaze swept over all the people in front of him and said, "Among you, one of you lied. ”

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding area immediately began to discuss.

"Who......"

"Who the hell stole it, so ......"

"Hey, can you stop being so appetizing." Zhu Haoran quickly shouted dissatisfiedly, "Tell me who the thief is!" I don't want to be questioned all the time! ”

"Everyone, don't be impatient," Yang Wenbin stretched out his hands and made a downward gesture, and said with a smile, "I think it may not be easy for everyone to understand directly, so let's do an experiment." ”

"Experiments?" Zhu Bairong asked.

"Now I ask these people to join me to restore the situation at that time." Yang Wenbin picked up the empty jewelry box and handed it to Zhu Bairong, "Miss Zhu, please pack this box as you did before you went back to the room tonight." ”

Zhu Bairong nodded and put the box in her pocket. Yang Wenbin led Zhu Bairong to the wider hall area very gentlemanly, and said to the others,

"Others, please simulate where you are at the time, and stand opposite to this hall."

Zhu Haoran and Luo Yan stood on the east side of the hall, in the same direction as the bar.

"The bar is pretty much here."

Mao Yingqin sat on the sofa on the west side of the hall, "I'm in the room, right here." ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, and finally pulled Yan Junli to stand in the middle of the hall, "Then we are here." Starting with Miss Zhu putting the jewelry box into the room and coming out, we simulated the loss of the necklace tonight. It's time to start, Miss Zhu! ”

Zhu Bairong nodded, and then walked towards her room.

Everyone was staring at Zhu Bairong's movements, and Zhu Bairong quickly walked to the door of the room, and then she put her hand into the pocket of her coat, and then she was stunned and actually stopped.

The people waiting in the hall were a little impatient, and Mao Yingqin shouted, "Bai Rong! What's wrong? ”

Zhu Bairong's expression became panicked, and she began to touch left and right in her pocket, but in the end she didn't touch anything.
