(September 24) countdown to the 97th day

Interrogation room of Castle Peak Police Station.

"Hello officer, good officer, I confess, I confess." Before the police could speak, a thin man in a plaid shirt made a statement.

The lattice man was one of the people who drove and followed Yao Xiaofei yesterday. The police mobilized surveillance footage and found three tracking cars at the turntable, and according to the license plate information, they quickly brought the lattice man back to the police station.

Without much speech, the lattice man truthfully explained the experience of driving and tracking Yao Xiaofei yesterday. said that it was instructed by a person named Brother Niu, Brother Niu contacted them through WeChat, and asked him to track a woman who drove an Audi Q7, what was the woman's name and what she did, Brother Niu didn't say anything, he had never seen Brother Niu's face.

"Cooperate with us to play a play, and if you play it well, even if you make up for it." Xiao Feng suddenly had a plan.

"Listen to the officer, you can act whatever you say."

The lattice man was then taken to the next room to the interrogation room. Liu Qing took off the headphones from the monitoring equipment and put them on, debugged them a few times, and made an OK gesture to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng also nodded to the lattice man.

"Brother Niu, I'm a monkey." The lattice man picked up his mobile phone, turned on hands-free, and dialed a mobile phone number.

"It's okay to call, isn't it? Something WeChat contact. It was a middle-aged man's voice, as if he was about to hang up immediately.

Xiao Feng hurriedly gave the lattice man a look, signaling him to delay as much time as possible.

"Somebody found the Audi, in a pool." The checkered man quickly changed the topic and talked about how the car was found. This is the coping plan that Xiao Feng taught the grid man before the call.

Before the lattice man finished speaking, Liu Qing suddenly made another OK gesture, indicating that the other party's position had been locked.

Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Feng led the team to rush into the basement on the first floor of a residential building in the city, but they were greeted by a corpse!

A middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses leans back on a chair, a single-edged dagger on his chest with the blade of the knife plunging deep into his heart. The blood was still dripping, dripping down the chest onto the armrests of the chairs, and from the armrests to the ground.

The man was out of breath, but still had a temperature. Xiao Feng noticed an ashtray on the table, which was neatly filled with cigarette butts.

It's also weird. Xiao Feng grabbed a handful of messy hair.

Is the deceased Brother Niu who just talked to the lattice man? It only took 15 minutes from locking the location of the mobile phone to the time the police rushed to the basement, who could have known that the man on the phone was exposed? Who could have rushed to the basement before the police arrived in the basement to kill the man and flee so soon?

The whole process of the call between the lattice man and the deceased at the police station was carried out under the noses of the police, and the lattice man did not have the opportunity to hint at anything to the deceased during the call. How can the murderer know when the deceased himself may not be aware that he is being monitored?

There is a table in the center of the basement, the computers and listening equipment on the table are neatly placed, and there are no traces of a fight at the scene, indicating that the deceased was suddenly attacked by the murderer and killed with a knife in an unsuspecting situation.

The murderer was very calm, and after the murder, he smashed the hard disk of the device, took away the deceased's mobile phone, and made sure that he did not leave any clues for the police to follow before calmly leaving the scene.

The murderer's decision to commit murder plus commit murder plus destroy evidence and flee the scene is a total of 15 minutes, which basically excludes that the murderer rushed to the scene of the crime after learning that the deceased was being monitored, indicating that the murderer and the deceased had been in the basement all along. But there was no sign of two people in the basement, and there was nothing but a table, a chair, a water dispenser, an ashtray, and monitoring equipment such as computers.

There is a mysterious third person at the scene of the murder in the Yuebanwan apartment - the possible witness Yao Xiaofei suddenly disappeared after being followed - the person who followed Yao Xiaofei was instructed by a person named Niu Ge - the person who spoke to the lattice man was Niu Ge - Niu Ge's call location was pointed to this basement - the police arrived in the basement 15 minutes later - a deceased appeared in the basement.

Following this clue, if the deceased is confirmed to be Brother Niu, the clue of the murder of the Yuebanwan apartment will be completely interrupted.

Xiao Feng moved his gaze from the deceased's face to the table, and stayed on the ashtray again, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him, the deceased was not the talking brother!

Xiao Feng came to the deceased, carefully examined the deceased's two pairs of fingers, and then broke the deceased's mouth and examined his teeth and mouth. He nodded, taking off the deceased's glasses to take a closer look.

"Team Xiao, have you found out?" Cheng Zhiyuan finished the search and collected evidence, saw Xiao Feng staring at his glasses in a daze, and came up to ask.

"The deceased is not Brother Niu."

"Isn't it?"

"Every cigarette butt in the ashtray is about to burn to the sponge, indicating that the murderer is very addicted to smoking, so that long-term smokers must have yellow spots on their fingers. I examined the deceased, his fingers were clean, there were no yellow spots, his teeth were white, and there was no smell of smoke in his mouth. ”

"Brother Niu is the murderer?"

"Well, quite possibly. Moreover, the glasses are not of the deceased. Xiao Feng raised the glasses in his hand and made a demonstration for the deceased to put on, "This glasses are too small for the deceased, almost shoehorned on both sides of the ear, if the deceased wears this glasses for a long time, there will inevitably be obvious indentations on both sides of the ear." Let's take a closer look, well, no indentation. ”

"Why did the murderer do this?"

He wants us to believe that the deceased is Brother Niu, which proves that Brother Niu is the real murderer and the deceased is his scapegoat. The killer knew that we had discovered this place, and the normal course of action was to destroy the evidence and flee the scene before we arrived, there was no need to increase the risk of killing. In doing so, he is trying to lead us astray. But one thing I can't figure out, how did the killer know that we found this location? ”

"Could it be that the suspect secretly sent a signal when he was talking to Brother Niu on the phone?"

"Every move of the plaid man is under our noses, and there is no abnormal performance. Could it be that the killer caught some loopholes during the call? If so, what would it be? ”

Xiao Feng narrowed his trademark thin eyes again.
