Chapter 1: Encounters at Bars
Flickering lights, loud music, and the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and various perfumes on girls' bodies in the air, Yang Ren sat quietly in front of the bar counter, his eyes constantly swept over the various young people on the dance floor who were swaying, and finally stopped at a middle-aged man who slowly walked towards him.
The man, dressed in a simple white shirt and jeans, looked to be in his thirties, with neat short hair, gave Yang Ren a faint smile and then sat down next to him.
"Young man, why don't you dance?"
Yang Ren glanced at the middle-aged man twice, and then showed a smile of unknown meaning, and did not make a sound.
The middle-aged man laughed a little embarrassedly, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and muttered to himself: "This bar is really hot, is the air conditioner broken?" ”
"Uncle, do you want something to drink? I'm in for a treat. Yang Ren said.
"Hehe, I'm so embarrassed, just give me a drink."
Yang Ren gestured to the bartender and said, "You can make one that is suitable for this uncle." The bartender glanced at the middle-aged man, then answered with a professional smile.
"My name is Wang Cheng, a few years older than you, if you don't mind, call me Brother Cheng, don't look at me very old, in fact, I'm only thirty-eight years old, what do you call it."
The corners of Yang Ren's mouth twitched, there were too many slots in this sentence, he didn't know where to start complaining, he was weak and said: "My name is Yang Ren, don't look at me young, I'm already twenty-one years old." ”
"Haha, little brother, you're really joking."
The corners of Yang Ren's mouth twitched again.
......
The two began to chat without a word, Yang Ren looked at Wang Cheng in front of him, and thought: It should be about the same. At this time, Wang Cheng suddenly touched the pocket of his thigh with a nervous face, "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone." ”
Wang Cheng got up and left his seat, Yang Ren was still bored and sipped the wine in his cup, and after a while, Wang Cheng came back, but he looked flustered, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Brother Cheng, has something happened, can you tell me, although we just met, but after all, there is fate." Yang Ren was the first to ask.
Wang Cheng hesitated for a while before he spoke: "My wife just called me, and I hung up in the middle of speaking, and something seemed to have happened to her. ”
"Sister-in-law's business, let's go back and take a look."
"I want to go back quickly, but ......"
"Why don't I go with you, if something really happens, the two of you can take care of it." [Until you give you a reason to catch chickens, I'll help you.] Yang Ren thought to himself.
When Wang Cheng heard this, a trace of joy appeared in his eyes, but he immediately covered it up. And all this did not escape Yang Ren's eyes.
"Alright then, I'm sorry for you, brother." Wang Cheng sighed and said.
"No trouble, no trouble." Yang Ren stood up and walked out first, and his eyes instantly changed from being kind and approachable just now to helplessness and sneering. And Wang Cheng's nervous appearance just now behind him was gone, replaced by a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Wang, I don't have a car, you should have one." Walking out of the bar, Yang Ren turned around and said.
"It has to be." Wang Cheng took out the car keys and walked slowly towards his car.
[Aside from the acting skills, after hearing that my wife had an accident, I didn't have any nervousness and panic, and followed me slowly, looking for a car...... Alas! Can't you take a snack now? ]
When Yang Ren complained in his heart, Wang Cheng slowly parked the car in front of him, got in the car and set off, Wang Cheng's car drove very steadily, neither fast nor slow. Yang Ren, who was sitting in the back row, rolled his eyes. [I probably know what kind of development will be this time, but I hope his technique can be better]
About 20 minutes later, the car slowly stopped next to an ordinary rental apartment, and after getting out of the car, Wang Cheng suddenly changed his previous style, hurriedly led the way into the apartment, and plunged into the staircase passage next to it. Yang Ren glanced at the elevator in front of him and quickly followed.
Wang Cheng's home is on the second floor, when Yang Ren appeared in the passage on the second floor, Wang Cheng had already inserted the key into the door, opened the door, Wang Cheng did not walk into the room, but stood at the door in a daze, Yang Ren ran to Wang Cheng's side, looked into the room, and saw a woman who was falling on the sofa, the woman did not wear makeup, her face was thin and yellow, and her figure was slightly fat, and there was a glass of water in front of her, and the outer wall of the cup was bubbling with thin water droplets.
"Ame!" Wang Cheng roared and rushed to the woman's side and shook him a few times, then turned around and shouted at Yang Ren: "Hit 110!" ”
"Okay, okay, 110, right." Yang Ren replied helplessly, took out his mobile phone, and stepped into the room. The house is a two-bedroom layout, the living room is quite large, and the furniture is also readily available. The TV is on, and a bloody bubble drama is playing. Yang Ren glanced at the living room, and finally his gaze stayed on the glass of water.
After quickly calling the police, Yang Ren stepped forward and touched the outer wall of the cup with his knuckles. [Ice, that is to say, ......], Yang Ren walked to the refrigerator and opened the freezer layer of the refrigerator, which contained some fish and meat, as well as an ice cube box. Two rows, a total of fourteen ice cubes, were used, and Yang Ren closed the refrigerator. [In this way, the modus operandi is also known, but what about the evidence?] ]
Yang Ren turned around and found that Wang Cheng was already standing behind him at some point. The two glanced at each other, and Wang Cheng's face was a little strange.
"What are you doing?" Wang Cheng asked.
"Just finished drinking. A little thirsty and wanted to see if there was a drink. Brother Cheng, can you pour me a glass of water, I'm also sad that something like this happened to my sister-in-law, I'll wait for the police to come with you. ”
Wang Cheng's face softened, and he sighed and said, "You can find a place to sit first." ”
Yang Ren sat casually on the small stool opposite the refrigerator, the water was placed in front of him, he picked it up and took a sip, then frowned, stood up and said, "I just saw ice cubes in the refrigerator, let me add a few." I like to drink ice. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Cheng stood up. His expression was stiff, and his eyes were staring straight at Yang Ren.
"Brother Cheng? What's wrong? Yang Ren asked with a puzzled expression. Wang Cheng continued to look at it for a while before slowly turning around.
"Sit down, I'll take it for you." Wang Cheng opened the refrigerator and took an ice cube from the ice cube box, and his body could be seen trembling slightly. At this time, Yang Ren walked a few steps to the side behind him, and found that Wang Cheng took the ice cube at a random location, not the one in the front, but a random one in the back row.
When Wang Cheng turned around, Yang Ren was obediently sitting on a small stool, Wang Cheng put the ice cubes into the cup, and then walked to the sofa and sat down. Yang Ren picked up the cup and shook it twice, then took a sip.
"Hahahaha!" Yang Ren suddenly burst out laughing without warning. This sudden laughter startled Wang Cheng a lot.
"You're insane!" Wang Cheng felt a little annoyed and angry.
"Third-rate acting skills, clumsy techniques, and mentally retarded layout, I guess this is probably the limit of you ordinary people." Yang Ren stopped laughing, stared at the cup in front of him and said.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Cheng showed a puzzled expression.
"You went to the bar just to find someone who could help you as an alibi, after hearing that your wife had an accident, you were anxious at the beginning, you are very normal when you walk and drive, but at this time, normality is the biggest abnormality."
Wang Cheng took a sip of water and slowly exhaled a breath and continued: "Your general idea should be that you are afraid that your wife will not die of poison when you get home, and your first reaction when you see your wife lying on the sofa is to call the police instead of calling 120, which means that you yourself know that she is dead." ”
Wang Cheng laughed angrily, "You said I killed my wife?" ”
"Yes, just use the poison hidden in the ice, anyway, the glass of water will definitely not be let go when the police come. I advise you to turn yourself in and ask for leniency. After Yang Ren finished speaking, Wang Cheng calmed down.
"Really? Then let's wait for the police to come. ”
"Am I wrong! How can it be! Yang Ren showed an incredible expression, looking at Yang Ren's appearance, Wang Cheng let out a sneer and did not speak.
"Lie to your ......" Yang Ren seemed to change his face, and returned to his previous appearance of winning the game. After all, it's your wife, and you're already familiar with her living habits, but unfortunately, I'm quite familiar with it too......" Speaking of this, Yang Ren deliberately paused, waited for Wang Cheng to show a surprised expression, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Your wife has a habit of eating ice cubes, and before the ice cubes are completely melted, put them in her mouth and make a grunt. Saying that, Yang Ren also bit the ice cube in his mouth and made a "clucking" sound. At this time, Wang Cheng's shock had reached the extreme, he didn't understand who the strange man in front of him was, why he was familiar with his wife's habits, was he his wife's lover? Or is it......
Yang Ren said to himself: "The poison is in the ice cubes, and the ice cubes are not completely melted, so the water in the cup is not poisonous at all, which is why you relaxed when I mentioned the glass of water." ”
"The poison is only in the ice, but from the fact that you gave me the ice, you didn't poison all the ice, so I guess you only poisoned the first two ice cubes. The first two in the front row, you are not sure which one your wife will take, after all, this is a random event, so you simply poisoned both, anyway, the police will not suspect the ice cube in the first place, and the first thing to pay attention to will be the glass of water, and you have every chance to dispose of the remaining ice cube. ”
At this point, Wang Cheng gradually calmed down and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Me? Just a detective. Although he said this, Yang Ren looked proud.
"Detective? Why do you a detective know my wife's habits!? Wang Cheng asked loudly.
"Well, I'm talking nonsense, in fact, at first I thought that there would be poison residues in the water, but your reaction was too calm, so I thought about it for a while, and just casually said a possibility to deceive you."
The corners of Wang Cheng's mouth twitched, what does it mean to think about it a little, and what does it mean to say casually...... What kind of person is this! But at this point, Wang Cheng completely calmed down, he stood up and slowly unbuttoned his wrist. "Don't look at me like this, I've been practicing karate since I was in my twenties, and now I'm a master of Kudan. Now all I have to do is beat you down and dispose of that ice cube in the fridge, and you can't convict me with your words alone. If you want to blame it, you are clever and can't help but show off, and say all this before the police come. ”
Wang Cheng put on a posture, took a steady step, and approached Yang Ren step by step. Yang Ren also stood up, showing a panicked expression.
"You...... What are you doing? Yang Ren took a few steps back, his slightly trembling body showing his fear.
"What am I going to do? Ha ha! I'm going to show you what I'm going to do! Wang Cheng slammed his fist towards Yang Ren's face, his fist with a fist style, and the whirring wind was destined to be an extraordinary punch. However, just as his fist was about to touch Yang Ren's face, a large powerful hand suddenly clamped his wrist.
"By the way, have you ever wondered why I dare to say this in front of you?" As soon as the words fell, Wang Cheng suddenly felt the world in front of him spin for a moment, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Yang Ren clapped his hands and said, "Don't look at me like this, I used to have a few small exercises." ”
How many times is this TM called a small practice? And you TM play me again! This was the last thought in Wang Cheng's heart before falling into a coma.
