Zuo Bin is still dressed as a bartender inside, with a white shirt and black vest, and an Adidas jacket on the outside.

Guo Bai opened the leather notebook, placed all the photos in it neatly, and sent them to him, "I like this jacket very much." ”

Zuo Bin tightened his neckline, he looked at Xu Long's corpse in the photo, and pursed his lips.

"What does that mean?"

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know."

Hu Lai sat in front of the whiteboard, looking at the photos pasted on it and the relationships between the characters that had been sorted out, Bei Bei came over and handed her the forensic report.

The female forensic doctor put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and looked down at Hu Lai turning through the pages. It's thin, it's only three pages, and it's all innocuous nonsense.

"Why did you give it to me?" Hu Lai on his back.

"The boss is interrogating the suspect, Lele and Dayang went out to collect evidence, and you are very smart about those fugitives." After Beibei finished speaking, she turned around and walked upstairs.

The report said that Xu had drunk alcohol four hours before his death.

The blood-stained renminbi at the mouth of the drainage ditch, the camera damaged by the red bricks, the half-footprints on the edge of the green belt, the lame man seen by the students, Hu Lai's eyes flashed scene after scene, and finally came to the simplest truth.

Because of Ah Yue's arrival, Xu Long thought that the police had found him, so he found Lao Wu, the boat boss he had been in contact with, and asked Lao Wu to leave by boat first, but Lao Wu refused.

Annoyed and angry, Xu Long returned to the bar and got drunk, threatening Xu Hui that he must give him 500,000 yuan for running expenses, otherwise he would stab her husband Wu Ke about her and Zuo Bin, and did something to Xu Hui. Zuo Bin and Xu Long got into a fight, and during the fight, Zuo Bin's left leg was injured.

Xu Hui compromised with Xu Long, promised to give him 500,000 yuan, and asked him to wait at Lijing Road at three o'clock in the morning, and asked Zuo Bin to send him money, because it was the closest to the port, Xu Long agreed.

But why bricks?

If Zuo Bin had been prepared to damage the camera in advance, why did he use local materials?

"Babe—" she shouted.

Bei Bei was walking to the railing, she was lying on the railing, looking down, just in front of Hu Lai's eyes.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Are there fingerprints on the red brick that damaged the camera?"

"Nope."

"Are there any traces of red bricks on Xu Long's clothes?"

"I'll take a look."

Zhang Lele and Yin Yuanyang walked in from the outside, both carrying a large bag of things in their hands, and the two of them put their things on the table, and a pair of white winter board shoes were contained in a brown paper bag, which was thick velvet inside, and it was still a little damp to the touch.

"This was found in Zuo Bin's house, and it has been cleaned." Zhang Lele explained.

Hu Lai put on her gloves and lifted the shoes out of the brown paper bag, she placed them on the table, and carefully poured them again.

The laces of the shoelaces are dark brown, Hu Lai pulled out the laces and hung them in front of Zhang Lele and Yin Yuanyang, "Take this shoelace to Beibei and let her extract the blood components." ”

"Where's the blood?" Yin Yuanyang took the shoelaces.

"Hu Lai," Bei Bei quickly ran down from the stairs, holding Xu Long's floral shirt in her hand, she stood beside Hu Lai, showing the traces of red bricks that had been polluted in the dazzling patterns, "Sure enough, there are traces of red bricks." ”

"It seems that the camera was not broken by Zuo Bin, it was Xu Long who discovered the camera himself, afraid that the police would know his whereabouts, and he was afraid that there were his fingerprints on the red brick, so he wrapped it in clothes and damaged the camera."

After Hu finished speaking, he pointed to the dark brown shoelace in Yin Yuanyang's hand, "Look at this shoelace." ”

Bei Bei took the shoelaces, stared at them from top to bottom, and couldn't help but admire: "Hulai, I appreciate you more and more." ”

"What's wrong?" Yin Yuanyang asked.

"I'm naturally sensitive to color, so I can tell the difference between blood stains and normal colors, but Hu Lai can also see it." Babe replied.

Yin Yuanyang looked at Hu Lai, she seemed to be different from the aggressive little sister who didn't know anything about etiquette in the morning, and became ...... Smarter, and more desirable.

"He washed his shoes, if not by coincidence, then there were blood stains left on the shoes, and the laces were not removed and washed, indicating that he did not find blood on the laces either, I just made a guess, and it turned out that my speculation was correct."

"I'll do it." Zhang Lele let out a sigh, in exchange for Yin Yuanyang's eyes.

Hu Lai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked towards the door, "Why hasn't she come yet?" ”

"I killed people!"

The woman burst in, her hair disheveled, gasping for air, and she repeated, "I killed the man." ”

"Sit down." Hu Lai pulled out a chair and sat down.

Xu Hui walked across from her and sat down, her eyes swept over a bunch of things found from Zuo Bin's house, and finally looked at Hu Lai, "Officer Hu." ”

"How did you kill someone?"

"Use the fruit knife in my store."

"Why did you kill him?"

"Because...... money, he asked me for 500,000, I didn't have any money to give him, so he beat me. ”

"Does it have anything to do with Zuo Bin?"

"Nope! It has nothing to do with him, he's just my employee. ”

Hu Lai began to be silent, and under her gaze, Xu Hui grabbed the corner of her coat.

"Does it have anything to do with your husband?"

"No, Officer Hu, I killed the person, and now that I have surrendered, how you should be sentenced, you can judge it." Xu Hui frowned, and even pleaded.

Hu Lai pursed his lips, "Zuo Bin has already recruited." ”

Xu Hui's face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled uncontrollably, she tried her best to suppress her tears, and even her vocal cords trembled when she asked, "Did he recruit him?" ”

"Yes." Hu Lai affirmed.

"Why...... Why the hell is he so stupid! Xu Hui couldn't hold back any longer, lying on the table and sobbing lowly, suppressing the heart-rending cry due to sadness.

When Hu Lai saw her like this, he opened his mouth to remind her: "So, if you have anything beneficial to Zuo Bin, just say it quickly, maybe it can play a role in reducing the sentence." ”

Zhang Lele gave Xu Hui a cup of hot water, and the heat in the paper cup was wafting, hovering all the way to the top of the woman's head, spreading out a haze.

"My brother and I have been orphans since we were children, and my brother has always loved me very much, and the two of us depend on each other. But my brother likes to fight and fight, and he is very close to some people in society, and slowly, my brother changed, and began to fight fiercely, and even pushed another big child in the orphanage down from the upper floor, the child's leg was broken, and the aunt of the orphanage sent him to the juvenile detention center. ”

"At that time, it was summer, and the willow strips in the orphanage hung very low, and my brother used the wicker to weave a wreath for me and put it on for me, and I knew that my brother pushed that person because that person bullied me and took advantage of me."

"And then?"

"After my brother came out of the juvenile detention center, he never went back to the orphanage, and after two years, my brother took me out, and he became very rich, which made me even more afraid. I knew what the white powder was for, and I knew that the knives in the house were stained with real human blood, and that there was a pistol locked on the second floor of his nightstand, and that there would be vengeful seekers roaming the door of the neighborhood. I couldn't take it anymore, so I moved out, took out a loan, started a bar, and got married. ”

Xu Hui took a sip of hot water and continued to explain, "But my marriage was not smooth, a month after I got married, I found out that my husband was a gambler, and he took away the daily turnover of the bar from gambling, and lost everything, I had no choice but to ask my brother for help." My brother agreed, and the next day, my husband stayed at home obediently, and his gambling problem was not stopped, but he no longer dared to steal money from my bar. Later, I met Zuo Bin, who was very protective of me, just like my brother when I was a child, and refused to let me be hurt in the slightest, so my husband and I separated. ”

"Half a month ago, your brother became a fugitive, and your husband thought that you had no more backers, so he continued to come back to be a robber."

"That's right," she said, taking a deep breath and her eyes full of desperation, "this time, not only did he rob the money, but he also lured all the creditors to me and beat me. ”

"My brother asked me for 500,000 that night, I didn't have that much money, he drank a lot of wine, so he did it to me, Zuo Bin saw that I was beaten, and immediately rushed over to fight with my brother, Officer Hu, Zuo Bin He was really just impulsive, and he was also injured at that time."

Hu Lai nodded, signaling that he understood.

"My brother found out about the relationship between Zuo Bin and me, and started a drunken madness, he threatened me and Zuo Bin, if I can't get a million, he will tell my husband about me and Zuo Bin, if my husband knows about it, Zuo Bin and I will not survive!"

"So you and Zuo Bin murdered your brother?"

"No, no, no, no, I handed over 500,000 yuan to Zuo Bin and asked him to give it to my brother, but he actually killed my brother, and I burned all the blood-stained money, and burned a full 100,000." Xu Hui lowered her head and choked uncontrollably.

"Zuo Bin thinks that your brother will always hold this handle and keep exploiting you like your husband, so he decided to get rid of him for you." Hu Lai stood up, as if remembering something, and added: "He really likes you, that jacket is a gift from you, he has always liked it." ”

Xu Huizhi stared at Hu Lai in a daze, and cried with one mouth, "I'm sorry for him, he shouldn't ......"

"You know what? The moment I saw my brother's body, I wanted to cut your brother and those who hurt him with a thousand knives, but then I thought clearly, what those of us who are still alive can do is to continue to live. ”

Guo Bai walked down the stairs with his notebook, Zuo Bin had already confessed, which could be regarded as saving a little of his bad psychological state, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Hu Lai surrounded by three people who should have worked hard, and there was a woman sitting opposite - Xu Hui, who was crying with tears on her face and her eyes were red and swollen.

He pushed aside Zhang Lele and stood beside Hu Lai, "What's the matter?" ”

"Thank you, Boss."

Hu Lai pursed his lips and opened his arms to give Guo Bai a firm, warm embrace with a woman.

It was he who put Hu Zheng on a correct path of no return, it was he who made Hu Zheng's heroic dream, perhaps, a glorious death in battle, is the ending of Hu Zheng's life that he wants most.
