Chapter 21: The back of the head

But looking at Xiao Guozheng's attitude, it doesn't look like he wants me to help at all.

And he always speaks according to his own logic, regardless of what others think, and he has a big jump.

"There was indeed a murder upstairs," he said, "and a renovation worker was strangled to death in the house, and the preliminary judgment should have been dead for about an hour or two." If you can't prove that you slept at home during this time, we have good reason to believe that you are involved in this case. ”

Of course I have someone to attest to that she's right behind you, it's just that you can't see her.

Except for Zhu'er, I naturally have no one to prove that I have been sleeping at home all the time.

Xiao Guozheng was aggressive, but I didn't get angry this time, but calmed down.

"Can you let me take a look upstairs?" I say.

Xiao Guozheng thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.

We went upstairs and there were already a couple of police officers and several security guards and the property watching.

The house was very messy, in addition to all kinds of wood, sawdust, and a shelf for carpentry.

The decorator in his blue overalls was lying on the carpentry shelf.

There were no lights in the room, only four or five flashlights to illuminate it.

In the bright light of the flashlight, I saw that the renovation worker's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of fear.

There was a jet-black ring around his neck, which looked like it was a mark from when he was strangled to death.

I looked at him like he was half scared to death.

Unexpectedly, such an honest and honest person, who seemed to be thirty-five or sixteen years old at most, would die like this. His wife and children at home are probably still waiting for him to come home, right?

There was a rush of anger in my heart for no apparent reason.

If my feeling is correct, there must be a big conspiracy behind this matter, and this poor decorator is just a small pawn of the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, did the man behind the scenes ever think that behind such a man, there might be a difficult and happy family? A hard-working but weathered wife, one or two children waiting for their father to come home? This man may be the only source of income for the family, and when he is gone, what should the wife and children do?

"Where did you find that letter, isn't it here?" I asked, pointing to a pile of sawdust in the corner of the kitchen.

Xiao Guozheng was obviously stunned for a moment, nodded, and hummed from his nostrils.

I stood on top of the pile of sawdust, assuming I was Gundam waiting for the murder to happen.

Xiao Guozheng and the others all looked at me curiously.

Of course, they are professional in investigating the case, and my actions must be very naΓ―ve in their eyes.

Pearls walked around in the dark, sniffing like a police dog.

I made all sorts of assumptions, but they didn't make sense.

First of all, the first question, why is this renovation worker still here so late? Did he stay here and not leave, or did he come back after he left?

The second question, how did this renovation problem die?

On the surface, he didn't go through much struggle, and looking at his appearance, the strength must be not small, who can strangle him to death in front of him?

The third question, Gouda must have been at the scene all along, did he see the whole process of the crime? If he did, what would he do? He will definitely intervene to stop it. However, there was no trace of a fight at the scene. The house is so messy, it's all the scene left by the workmanship.

Fourth, where did the high reach go? It seems that he fell into the hands of the murderer, and the murderer also used his mobile phone to send a text message to Xiao Guozheng. But he didn't even struggle during the whole process, so he obediently followed him?

"You've been watching for a long time, and have you seen anything?" Xiao Guozheng asked.

I blurted out, "This man was killed by Gundam." ”

"You fart!" A young man behind Xiao Guozheng immediately jumped out and said, "Tall is not such a person, he will definitely not kill!" ”

I know this young man, he's always been with Gundam and always calls him "Tall", but I don't know his name.

Xiao Guozheng ignored the young man, looked at me and asked, "What evidence do you have?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't have any evidence, but that's the only way to explain everything." I really can't explain that if a third person had been here at the time of the crime, the scene would still be like this. ”

If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Guozheng seems to have laughed, not the kind of sarcastic sneer, but the kind of "I think the same way" kind of laughter.

But the smile was so faint and fleeting that I wasn't sure I could really see it.

"If there is no evidence, everything is conjecture." Xiao Guozheng said indifferently, "What if you were hiding here with Gundam at that time?" ”

Belch...... It seems to make sense.

I'm speechless.

"Anyway, you still can't clear your name." Xiao Guozheng said.

"Is there a way to know how the killer left? Is there any monitoring? "I remember doing that in police dramas on TV.

A property manager in a suit interjected: "There are not many families living in this building, and there are no cameras in the elevators. ”

"Where's in the parking lot?" I asked again.

"There's one in the parking lot." The property manager said, "But this afternoon, I don't know how to do it, all the lines are broken, we asked the technician of the installation company to debug for a long time, and it has not been adjusted." ”

Damn, how could it be so coincidental?

"What more do you want to know? Do you still want to know where Gundam's car is now? Xiao Guozheng said indifferently, "His car has been parked in the underground parking lot since he sent you in, and he is still there now, and he has never gone out." ”

I don't have anything to say because I wanted to ask this question in the first place.

"If you can't prove your innocence, then you will be seriously suspicious in this case, so I ......," Xiao Guozheng said with a businesslike appearance.

I knew he was going to say he was going to take me into custody.

I really can't defend myself, it looks like I've just come out and I'm going in again.

At this time, Zhu'er jumped up and slapped Xiao Guozheng on the back of the head with a "snap".

Xiao Guozheng suddenly looked straight ahead, his expression became very dull, word by word, and said mechanically: "I decided to give you three days to find out the truth, if you can't find out the truth within three days, I will arrest you and go to the yamen." ”

Yes, he clearly said "Yamen"!

Apparently, he suddenly changed his tone halfway through.

Before I could react, Xiao Guozheng turned around on the spot and said in a dull voice: "Go, go home, sleep, take the body away, remember to close the door." ”

After saying that, he walked out the door.

His subordinates didn't expect it to end in such a hurry, and they followed in confusion.

The security guards and property of the complex are also gone.

Zhu'er covered her mouth and smiled backwards and forwards, very happy.

This girl...... Did she do something to Xiao Guozheng?

The flashlights were gone, and it was pitch black, and there was a corpse lying in the room.

I didn't dare to stay longer, so I hurried downstairs and went back to my room.

"What the hell did you do to that guy?" As soon as I entered the door, I couldn't wait to ask Zhu'er.

Zhu'er tilted her head and said triumphantly: "I gave a ghost to hit the back of the head, just give him a look, and he can say whatever he wants, isn't it amazing?" ”

It turns out that there is still such a ability?

It's a good move, at least I have to be grateful to her, otherwise I'd have been caught in again by now, the little dark room I just came out of.

"But there are only three days, and in three days can I find evidence to prove my innocence?" I'm still worried.

Zhu'er smiled: "Three days is enough. Master, you forgot? In two days, that evil spirit will come to you, and when the time comes, I will help my master catch him, so that will prove your innocence, master? ”

I shook my head, still uneasy.

First of all, Zhu'er kept saying that the evil ghost killed the renovation worker, which I don't really believe. Even if he ate the soul of the renovation worker, it doesn't mean that it killed people, maybe it just picked up a bargain.

Besides, even if it was really that evil ghost who killed someone, even if Zhu'er could help me catch it, could it be that Lao Tzu would take an evil ghost to Xiao Guo?

At the end of the day, I still think Gundam is the most suspicious.

Although he doesn't look like such a person, but as the old saying goes, you don't know your heart, don't you?

Motivation? Maybe he has some unknown grudge with others, or maybe he was bumped into some secret so he killed people, it is not impossible.

In short, you have to find a way to find Gundam first.
