Zheng Ming and a group of police officers did not find any clues, and according to the rest of the building, everyone had an alibi: Wang Xia had fallen asleep at the time, and Chu Fatzi hid at home after dark, for fear of meeting the dead Li Birong.

Sun Xiaotong and I are the same, and the strange thing is that the cameras in the whole building were all broken last night, except for the surveillance on our twelfth floor, which can prove that we didn't go out at two o'clock.

Zheng Ming called me alone to catch up at a restaurant near the community. said that it was a reminiscence, and he asked me more about Chen Yongyuan.

"We investigated Chen Yongyuan's relationship, this person is an alcoholic, he has no enemies, and we suspect that this is a random killing." Zheng Ming smoked a cigarette and uttered his analysis.

"He owes Wang Xia money, is this considered a feud?" I asked him.

Zheng Ming shook his head and said, "It's unreasonable to kill people for 30,000 yuan." Besides, there is no evidence to prove that Wang Xia is a suspect. ”

I said, "Anyone is suspicious until evidence is found, is there?" ”

"If you can't provide an alibi, that's true." Zheng Ming said.

"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" I asked him.

Zheng Ming was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "I haven't seen ghosts, but there are indeed many unexplained things in this world. ”

"What if a ghost kills him?" I asked further.

Zheng Ming smiled: "I'm afraid it's impossible, some cases are not solved, it doesn't mean that the murderer is a ghost, in that case, we police will have no pressure, and push all the unsolved cases on the ghost, isn't it very simple?" ”

I stopped talking, and I knew he wouldn't believe me if I kept talking. Sometimes, people only believe what they see, thinking that only seeing is believing, but what people see with their eyes may not be the truth, and the truth may not be seen.

"Four people died in this building, and this is the fifth." I say.

"Except for a worker who committed suicide by jumping off a building and a host who was poisoned by gas, we found the murderer in the other two cases." Zheng Ming flicked the cigarette ash.

I asked him, "If you are killed, even if you find the murderer, will you still hold a grudge?" ”

Zheng Ming thought for a moment and said, "I haven't died, so I can't answer." If I die, I won't be able to answer you. ”

I nodded and said, "Makes sense." Do you remember that ancestral red cheongsam in our family? ”

"Remember, your cheongsam is so evil that no one in the village knows about it." When Zheng Ming said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at me and said, "Is Chen Yongyuan's death related to the red cheongsam?" ”

"He stole my cheongsam, and I asked him to come back, and he died not long after." I say.

Zheng Ming stopped talking, he smoked a cigarette one by one, not knowing what was going on in his head.

Back in the store, Chu Fatzi was sitting at the door, he didn't carry the birdcage, his face was sad, and his eyes were cautious, especially to women.

"Xiao Wu, you're back." Chu Fatzi greeted me.

"What about your parrot, I'm really a little unaccustomed to seeing you don't mention cage birds." I joked.

Chu Fatzi sighed and said, "That pair of parrots died last night. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned: "Dead? Why did he die? ”

"I don't know, it's not just my parrot, Wang Xia's pigeon died last night." Chu Fatzi continued.

"Is there such a coincidence?" I thought of Chen Yongyuan's owl crashing to death on the wall, and then I thought of Chu Fatzi's words, and I felt that things were more and more weird.

Different birds died on the same night, and the death was inexplicable, as if they had been arranged by someone else a long time ago.

"It doesn't matter if the bird is dead, as long as the person is still alive." I regretted saying that.

Sure enough, Chu Fatzi said with a gloomy gaze: "Isn't Chen Yongyuan already dead?" I'm afraid I won't live long. ”

I reluctantly smiled and said, "How come, I see that you are in good health, you will be fine if you eat it." ”

Chu Fatzi smiled bitterly: "Chen Yongyuan has wine to drink every day, isn't he also dead?" Alas, the world is impermanent, who knows if it will be me next. ”

At this time, Sun Xiaotong walked out of the store, sneered and said, "So you're going to sell the house, right?" ”

"Xiaotong, I can't help it, if I don't have to do it, who will sell the house this year? In another year, maybe the price of this house will go up. After Chu Fatzi finished speaking, his tone softened again: "However, no matter how valuable things are, how can life be important." ”

I saw that Sun Xiaotong was emotional, and wondered: "Brother Chu sells his house, you don't seem to be happy." ”

Sun Xiaotong snorted coldly and said, "Then you ask, who he wants to sell to." ”

"I, I'm going to sell it to Wei Ran." Chu Fatman's voice was lowered.

I finally understood that Wei Ran wanted to buy Chu Fatzi's house, obviously for Sun Xiaotong, and Sun Xiaotong was of course angry.

"Freedom to buy and sell, as long as he doesn't harass you, why do you care so much." I say.

Sun Xiaotong said: "With my understanding of Wei Ran, he will definitely linger." This kind of rich boy, the more things he can't get, the more he wants. ”

"But the price he offered is high, do you think I can not sell it?" The reason Chu Fatzi said is also very reasonable.

"How much is your house, I will let my brother buy it, and I will never sell it to Wei Ran!" Sun Xiaotong said angrily.

Chu Fat Man was embarrassed, he glanced up, and immediately changed the topic: "Hey, why is that red cheongsam missing?" ”

"It's too ostentatious to hang here, I'll take it home." I say.

Chu Fatzi chattered again: "Tell you, Li Birong and Wei Ran have the same character, and they will definitely want what they like." Last time she came to ask for a cheongsam, you didn't give it to her, she will definitely come. ”

Sun Xiaotong scolded beside him: "What nonsense are you talking about, you don't have a good word, hurry up and leave, it's annoying to see you!" ”

Chu Fatzi saw that Sun Xiaotong was really angry, so he hurriedly got up and walked away. I remembered that my wife had told me that Zhou Yutai's soul was scattered, and I became the target of other powerful ghosts.

In the evening, I went upstairs with Sun Xiaotong. Taking the elevator, no one lived on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors, and the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, where the rich woman Zhou Ping lived before her death.

Sun Xiaotong took my arm and whispered, "Why did the elevator stop by itself?" ”

The elevator certainly doesn't stop on its own because there are people outside the elevator.

The person who came in was Wang Xia, her eyes were dull, her expression was blank, she walked into the elevator and didn't say a word.

She didn't seem to see us, Sun Xiaotong talked to her, and she ignored it. When the elevator closed, I smelled the strong smell of osmanthus perfume on Wang Xia's body.

My heart lifted, and there were only three of us in the enclosed space of the elevator.

The elevator continued up to the sixth floor. I think the elevator is very slow tonight, like it is very reluctant to go up.

The sixth floor is Chen Yongyuan's residence, but he died last night.

"Who do you think killed Chen Yongyuan?" Wang Xia suddenly asked.
