Chapter 306: Suspicious Accounts
Yu Wen hurriedly asked me, "Where are you going?" β
"Investigate, we must arrest him and bring him to justice. By the way, I'll come back to you and ask you to come and help with the investigation. I said.
"Are you sure?" Yu Wen asked nervously.
I looked at him coldly, thinking to myself what he wanted to do and how dare to do it?!
"Yes, I'm sure." I replied in the affirmative.
I didn't expect him to say, "In that case, then I'll be with you, right?" One more person, one more force. And I know a lot about the case, so I can help you. β
I was afraid that he was having some bad idea, so I looked at him, but I didn't answer him.
He pondered in silence for a while before he said, "What? Don't you believe me? β
"I didn't disbelieve you." I told him with certainty, "It's just that I think the two of us don't seem to get along." β
"Where is it not compatible?" He asked with a smile.
I can't tell, but I am a little resistant to him in my heart.
He thought about it quietly for a while before he said again: "Forget it, then I'll be here, and I'll wait for you to come back to me." β
I nodded secretly and turned to leave.
When I left, I regretted it a little and felt as if I had to take him with me.
After returning to the police station and checking the information, I naturally decided to go back to one place firstβwhere the butcher used to live.
I feel like there's something important going on.
When I arrived at the butcher's former residence, I reached out and pushed open the hidden door, and a large puff of dust came to my face, followed by a strong musty smell.
It seems that no one has been to this place for a long time.
I walked in, gently covering my nose with my hand, thinking that there would still be some clues here.
Just as I was about to start my investigation, there was a sound in one of the rooms.
"Knock knock!"
It was so crisp that it was like someone was banging on the tabletop.
I quickly came to this room, but saw that there was no one in this room. There was indeed a table on the wall.
I quickly approached.
It turned out that it was just at the foot of the table, and there were a few mice. After knowing that it was a mouse, I secretly breathed a long sigh of relief.
But just as I was about to get up, I found that there was a notebook pressed on the other table. There seem to be some words on it.
Is this a relic left by the butcher during his lifetime?!
Should be!
So I silently took out the notebook and picked it up to take a look. I saw that this turned out to be a ledger. At the beginning, the accounts were recorded in small amounts. But the accounts that were recorded after that were all large amounts.
This record should be all money, right?!
I secretly raised my eyes, and remembered, that there was no mention of any money confiscated in the documents at that time. So where is the butcher's money hidden?
It's impossible to squander all your money right away before you get caught, right? And in the later stage, the cost is still very small.
So I decided to follow this account and investigate it properly.
At dusk, I returned to the police station alone to investigate the details of the butcher. Since the money was not in his dilapidated house, it was likely that it was left to someone.
And will exchange his life for so much money to a person, it can be seen that that person is really important!
After investigating, I found that the woman who divorced him in the early years was the most suspicious. The woman's name was Soho, she was now in her forties, and she was divorced in her early years and is still unmarried and childless.
She still lives in this place, so it won't be difficult to find her.
During the night, I finally found her.
She doesn't own a house and now lives in a rented apartment.
After learning about the situation, she was very polite to me, "Officer Lu, please take a seat, let's talk in detail." β
"After your ex-husband died, didn't he leave anything for you?" I asked.
She thought for a while and said, "No, he has always been so poor in his life, where can he leave me with anything after death?" β
Looking at her, it doesn't look like she's lying. However, some people are accustomed to lying for the rest of their lives, so even if they lie, it is difficult for others to see it.
So I kept an extra eye on it, and for the time being, I still don't rule out the possibility of her committing a crime.
When I was leaving, I subconsciously looked at her house and found that her house was very nicely furnished, which made me even more suspicious of her.
She is a woman and has no income, why is the quality of life so high?
And if she can really get that money, or if she also has some understanding of what the butcher does, right? Perhaps, she will know who the real murderer is behind the scenes.
After leaving, I walked alone on the road, feeling very melancholy.
I can't imagine that I have forgotten two people who were once very important, and I have forgotten my past.
While I was in distress, a coin slowly rolled to my feet, touched the toe of my shoe, stopped, and landed at my feet.
I looked in the direction the coin was rolling and saw a man standing under the big tree in front of me.
The man's outfit was a little strange, especially the little gray vest on his body.
Seeing that he was looking back at me, I naturally asked, "Are you looking for me?" β
"Yes, you're Officer Lu Zhelu, right?" He asked.
A person who doesn't know me actually came to me, could it be that he is a murderer? But there is no reason, how could the murderer send it to the door by himself, isn't that looking for death?
With many questions, I slowly walked over and admitted my identity: "Yes, that's me." But what are you looking for me? β
"I'm a private investigator. I should be able to help you with the case you want to investigate. β
"Do you know what case I'm investigating?" I was surprised.
He nodded lightly and said, "You can follow me to a place." β
Then I followed him to a place. I thought that he shouldn't hurt me, because if he wants to harm me, it's okay to harm me here, why take me somewhere?!
After I went with him to a printing factory, he took me to the manager's office and said, "This is my face of identity, a manager." My surname is Xu, they all call me Manager Xu, and my name is Xu Yi. β
I'm not interested in any of that, I'm interested in the photos in the manager's office.
These photos are all photos of a man who has not had his face taken.
Xu Yi pointed to the photo and said to me: "This person, I suspect that he is the murderer of the case back then." Back then, the earliest victim was my cousin. For the sake of this case, I painstakingly studied the techniques for solving the case, and finally let me keep my eyes on him. β
