"It's not that the stupid thief is too stupid, it's the murderer who is playing tricks with us. Second Captain, show me the neighbor's testimony, and it's better to call one or two. Also, is the deceased's husband coming over today? Luo Chuan asked.

The second captain replied, "I told him yesterday that he would come here at noon today." That man was really pitiful, he didn't stop crying after the accident, and he kept regretting why he quarreled with his wife on the last day. As for the neighbors...... After asking twice, people didn't want to bother with it. You should also know that we people are most afraid of bad luck. In a building, it is unfortunate to have a normal death, let alone such an unnatural death? Yesterday, when I came to ask for the transcript, an old lady told me! She told me not to work too late here, and to remember to burn paper when I left...... It is said that the person who died unexpectedly is resentful, and so on. Now don't say that they are bad luck with the dead, they feel bad luck even when they see me! "The second captain was full of grievances and bitter words.

Luo Chuan stood up and walked to the bedroom, looked at the water cup on the bedside table in the bedroom, and then turned his head and asked Guan Shan: "I remember what you just said...... There is nothing wrong with the couple's relationship on the surface, right? Why? Luo Chuan cares very much about this "surface" in Guan Shan's words.

Guan Shan smiled and said, "You've already found out the problem, so why bother asking me." The bedside table has one on each side of the headboard, and a lamp on each bedside table. The bedside table on the left, which has sundries such as colored cups and hairpins and hair ropes, should be commonly used by the deceased Zhang Tong, which means that she slept on this side when she slept. The lamp switch on her side is significantly shallower than that on Wang Zhi's. The bedside table on Wang Zhi's side was spotless, and there was nothing. Normally, even if the man doesn't smoke and doesn't have an ashtray or anything like that, he should always have a magazine, newspaper, or TV remote. But you see, all these things are on Zhang Tong's side. ”

At this time, the second captain walked to the bedside table and took a closer look, and indeed found that there were more debris on the left side.

But he still didn't understand and asked, "Maybe...... Is this a habit between their husband and wife? Who uses this remote control is different, at most it can show that his family's habits are a little special, or the deceased loves to be clean too much, and the husband's side is spotless. But how can this prove that they have emotional problems? ”

Guan Shan corrected the second captain very rigorously and said: "I didn't say that there is a problem with the relationship between them, these superficial phenomena can't be seen as a reason." What I want to say is...... Even if they are very kind, at least Wang Zhi goes home to sleep very rarely, and definitely not every day. ”

The second captain thought for a while and said, "Actually...... People like me don't necessarily get home for a week when they're busy, and that's not a big deal......

"Yes, but after all, for most ordinary families, you are still in a rare situation. So I also said it, they don't necessarily have emotional problems, but Wang Zhi definitely doesn't go home to sleep every day. ”

The second captain seemed to have reacted a little, so he approached Guan Shan and asked mysteriously, "Are you ...... Suspect there's someone out there, right? ”

Guan Shan did not reply directly.

The second captain said anxiously: "Oh, I'll tell you two, don't pay attention to these useless details." We can't control moral issues, and we don't care about them. We just need to find out how that woman died! As for her and her husband's problems, don't dwell on them, right? I've told you all that her husband has an absolute alibi and is certainly not a suspect. Wasting time on their relationship issues isn't a waste of effort! Come on, come on, come with me and ask the neighbor on the other side about the thief! ”

The second captain originally thought that finding Luo Chuan would make it faster to solve the case, but he didn't expect that these two people would delay their efforts one by one, so they were simply ready to pull them out and ask the eyewitness testimony again.

But Luo Chuan said a little stubbornly: "The current situation is that you have no suspect at all, and in such a situation, you can't work hard to create a thief and robber to be a suspect." We have to start with the deceased herself, who died not in the streets of the riots, but in her own home, and there must be something wrong with that. Come, look, there is a laptop and a tablet on the small table next to the bedroom door, if it is really a thief, since he even stole the change, why didn't he take these things? Even if it sells for 500, it's more than that little change to buy vegetables. ”

"Then according to what you say, the neighbor said that the person who asked for directions is useless?" The second captain was obviously not convinced.

Luo Chuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's very useful, but we have to take it step by step." If you don't understand what happened to this Zhang Tong, even if you ask for eyewitness testimony ten more times, it's useless. If there are too many times, it will make them disgusted, and at that time, the words in their mouths may not be so credible. People will add fuel to the problem and even say some of their own imaginary plots on the premise of helping you solve the case as soon as possible. In that case, it's even more troublesome. ”

Luo Chuan's patient explanation finally made the second captain a little more reasonable, he thought about the current situation carefully, and it was indeed the case, everyone avoided the murder and was not willing to cooperate.

Seeing that the second captain was honestly down-to-earth, Luo Chuan walked near the gate and asked, "Where are the fingerprints?" Did any suspicious fingerprints be found in this house? ”

"Nope. Let's just say that the deceased also loves to be clean, and when we investigated the scene, we found that her fingerprints were very few! Most of them are on kitchen utensils and mops...... Every place in this room has been carefully checked, and there are no suspicious fingerprints. The second captain swore by it.

Luo Chuan looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "What about outside the house?" ”

"Outside??" The second captain's eyes widened.

Luo Chuan said as a matter of course: "Yes, no matter how the murderer tricked the deceased into opening the door, he always has to knock on the door, right?" Like you said, he wasn't even sure he would kill someone, and he would have fled in a hurry when he left. Maybe there will be some traces left outside the gate, in the corridor, on the stairs. ”

"Uh......" the second captain hesitated for a moment and said, "This ...... I didn't think much about it when I saw that it was so clean outside. However, the trace inspection team said that there are no fingerprints on the door! "The second captain tried to make his mistake look less serious.

But after Luo Chuan heard this, his face became even more ugly.

"No fingerprints??"

"That's right! Cleaner than my face, no guarantees! The second captain said in an affirmative tone.

Luo Chuan sighed and said: "Then the problem is even more serious, which proves that the murderer either handled it cleanly after the fact, or returned to the scene after the killing." ”

"Huh?? Why? Is there anything wrong with this gate being clean? The second captain was even more confused now, and his mind was full of questions.

Guan Shan said lightly on the side at this time: "No fingerprints is the biggest problem." ”

Looking at the second captain's misty appearance, Luo Chuan glared at him and explained: "Do they usually wear gloves when they go in and out?" How is it possible not to have fingerprints? If the murderer hadn't knocked on the door, how would he have entered the house? ”

"The deceased loves to be clean......," the second captain said with a little weakness.

"After the murderer entered the door, Zhang Tong died not long after, who will wipe the traces he left? No matter how much the victim loves cleanliness, she can't do those things when she dies, right? ”

"That'...... It's the murderer who wiped it! Maybe he is a veteran who knows the process of the police handling the case and wipes everything he has touched! "The second captain's forehead was already sweating.

Luo Chuan's face was still calm, and he continued: "Let's not talk about the murderer's way of killing people like a veteran, even if he is really a veteran, he cleaned everything up when the murderer left the scene. So...... What about Wang Zhi's fingerprints when he came back? ”

With this sentence, the second captain suddenly opened his mouth! That's right! The informant was Wang Zhi, the husband of the deceased, who called the police after returning from work to find out that his wife had been killed. In other words, before he entered the door, he didn't know that Zhang Tong was dead. Well, there is no such thing as not destroying the scene. He should have done the same as usual, taking the key, holding the doorknob, and opening the door again. So no matter what, at least Wang Zhi's fingerprints should be left on this door! And when the police came to investigate the scene, there was not even a single fingerprint on the door, which is of course wrong!

The second captain patted his head vigorously and said, "Eh, this thing seems to be getting more and more interesting!" So, the only person who can erase his fingerprints is the deceased's husband Wang Zhi? But no, I can see those toll bills and surveillance videos clearly! And those monitors were personally brought by the comrades of the traffic team on the highway, and there can't be anything boring! It can't be him! ”

Luo Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, the most important thing in the whole case now is Wang Zhi's alibi." If he didn't have this proof, the case would be much simpler. But now that you say that his alibi is so conclusive, who is the person who wiped off his fingerprints? ”

The second captain was sweating more and more, and he thought hard for a while and said, "Will that be ...... Is it really what you said, that the murderer ever came back? Or, he didn't go far at all after killing someone?! Maybe he left fingerprints on the gate when he left, only to remember later that this was a crucial flaw. So, he waited for Wang Zhi to enter the door, and then quietly went upstairs and quickly wiped off the fingerprints he left? ”

Luo Chuan shook his head slightly, without affirmation or denial. How to say it, Luo Chuan thinks that the second captain's statement cannot be said to be nothing, but the probability is very low. Because the police will come at any time, Wang Zhi was shocked when he found out that his wife had died, and maybe he would open the door for help and so on. At this time, it is too dangerous to return to the scene to wipe the fingerprints on the door, no matter what.

And when you think about the way the deceased died, he was obviously not a habitual offender who was familiar with the road, where did he get such calmness and courage?

At this time, it was close to noon, and a police officer downstairs came up to report that Wang Zhi was here and was waiting downstairs.

When Luo Chuan heard this, he came just in time. He asked the second captain to go down with Guan Shan and talk to Wang Zhi about the situation at that time.

After going downstairs, Luo Chuan saw the man in front of him who needed the support of the police officer at a glance. He was wearing an ordinary down jacket, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was haggard.

The second captain softened his heart when he saw it, and the questions just now were all forgotten, and he hurriedly said to Wang Zhi: "Look at you, for two days, there is no one!" It's cold outside, let's go, let's talk in the police car! I have two colleagues here, and I'm going to ask you about your wife again. ”

Wang Zhi wiped his tears, slowly raised his eyes to look at Luo Chuan and Guan Shan, and then said very apologetically: "I'm sorry...... I had already adjusted my mood before I got here. But as soon as I came back, I collapsed again in an instant. This is the home we have lived in for seven years, and this is my home with Tongtong...... Now, I'm back, but I can't see her anymore......" Wang Zhi said, his voice choked, and it was difficult to even speak. This kind of situation really moved others.

The second captain glanced at Luo Chuan, but found that his brows were tightly locked, and he was looking at Wang Zhi with the posture of a prisoner.

The second captain was a little unhappy, so he pushed him slightly, turned his back to Wang Zhi and whispered to Luo Chuan, "Eh, can you be a little sympathetic?" This person has a sufficient alibi, don't you do this? He's sad enough. ”

Luo Chuan replied to the second captain unceremoniously: "I have seen murderers who cry worse than him, and some of them are that the moment the truth is finally revealed, their true nature is not still exposed." ”

"You ......" The second captain tried his best to keep his voice low and didn't let Wang Zhi hear it.

However, Luo Chuan's words, Wang Zhi must have heard it. But he pretended not to hear, not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward. Probably, he thinks that these policemen are busy with his wife's affairs, and he has a clear conscience, so he is not afraid of other people's suspicions. At least, the state he showed gave Luo Chuan this feeling.

Luo Chuan also said at this time: "Let's go, go to the police car, or go to the police force to talk." Your wife's death is strange, and sadness doesn't solve the underlying problem. Even if you go along, the murderer is still at large. As a matter of urgency, let's try our best to catch the murderer as soon as possible. In that case, you can be regarded as having an explanation for your wife. ”

Wang Zhi nodded and said very cooperatively: "Yes, you can go to the police force." Although I have already told Captain Zhu about the matter before, as long as I can catch the murderer, I am willing to cooperate with the police at any time. ”

Probably because of Song Mingze's relationship, now Luo Chuan unconsciously became a little emotional when he heard this sentence "willing to cooperate with the police at any time". So at this time, he only said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't let you toss this trip in vain." Send me some questions that you haven't talked to about with Captain Zhu. For example, your relationship as a couple, such as your busy work, and the clean door of your home. ”
