Meng Rong is petite, fair-skinned, and looks a little bit of a small jasper temperament, she sat opposite me and Lao Dao, listening to Lao Dao talking, while gently stirring the black coffee in the cup with a stainless steel coffee spoon.

On the way, Lao Dao had already told me that the client of this case was Meng Rong.

This was a bit unexpected to me, I originally thought that the client was Luo Xing, but I didn't expect it to be someone else. Therefore, I still have a lot of curiosity and hope for this meeting.

Lao Dao relayed the gist of the conversation between Luo Xing and me to Meng Rong, because Meng Rong, as the client, asked for the right to know in a timely manner, so we naturally couldn't refuse.

"Luo Xing said he didn't think Lin Sen committed suicide?" Meng Rong put down the coffee spoon, "I agree with this, because I have the same suspicions. ”

Meng Rong looks delicate on the outside, but as soon as she speaks, whether it is the words or the tone, she is very "hard", which means that she is a very assertive woman with her own ideas - I began to understand a little why the client would be her.

Of course, I can think of many other suspicions related to the weirdness of this event, which are the result of divergent thinking, and some of the speculations seem imaginative, but I'm sure you won't find them interesting if I list them all.

"How so?" I asked, "Luo Xing's suspicions are just subjective speculation, or is there any real evidence for Miss Meng?" ”

Meng Rong smiled: "If I have any 'real evidence', why should I spend money to entrust the two of you to investigate?" Wouldn't it be better to tell the police directly. And I believe that in Mr. Luo's mind, there must be many reasons to support my suspicions. For example, why is the murder scene a secret room? ”

Meng Rong fought back at me without being soft or hard, and I felt as if she was aware of some kind of temptation attempt, although I had tried not to make myself appear sharp.

I can only sigh that a woman's sixth sense is sometimes really scary.

"Well, according to the information in my hand, you seem to be closer to Lin Sen? In other words, a tendency to transcend friendship? Seeing Meng Rong's expression immediately changed, I waved my hand again and again, "I don't mean anything else." What I want to ask is, do you know the specific family situation of Lin Sen? Lin Sen's family background seems difficult to investigate, and it would be very helpful if you could tell me some new information for our investigation. ”

As soon as I said this, the expression on Meng Rong's face softened, she lowered her head and thought about it, but sighed: "I don't know more than you know." You must have known from Luo Xing that I only have a one-sided crush with Lin Sen, and there is no 'beyond friendship' relationship between us. ”

Nearly three months have passed since Lin Sen's death. What we learned from the police was that the police didn't contact Lin Sen's family until a month later, and then there was no news - that is, so far, no family member of Lin Sen has come to identify the body.

"All I know is that Lin Sen seems to have a grandmother at home, and a twin brother with intellectual disabilities, but I have never seen them. Lin Sen's hometown is in a remote mountain village, and when he came to the town to study in junior high school, it would take him a whole day to come home, and he rarely talked about his family situation. Meng Rong said, "Anything else, I don't know." ”

"Okay." What Meng Rong said, compared with what I learned, there was nothing new, and I knew that even if I asked again, it might be useless, so I gave up.

Just as I was about to skip this paragraph and move on to something else, the old knife suddenly whispered, "We are being followed. ”

I had already had this kind of experience, so I didn't move and said, "When did you find out?" ”

"Miss Meng, please don't look around." This sentence was naturally said to Meng Rong, and then the old knife replied to me: "To be exact, Meng Rong was targeted." Because this person came with Meng Rong. ”

"What do you think you are?" I asked.

"It's hard to say, but it won't be the police. Because this guy is very amateurish. His clumsy acting skills are simply an insult to my profession. ”

When Lao Dao spoke, his eyes didn't leave the table at all, he took a sip of coffee for a long time, then put down the cup, pretending to leave for some reason, and talked to me and Meng Rong, but in fact, the content of his words was: "Wait a minute, I'll try his bottom." ”

The old knife got up as he spoke, his movements were very natural, and I pretended not to care, and didn't look at the suspicious place at all.

But at this moment, I heard the old knife scolding, "! I looked up and saw that the old knife had chased out of the coffee shop.

Ten seconds later, I also rushed out of the door of the coffee shop, just in time to see the old knife jumping angrily at the door.

I asked the old knife, "What's going on?" ”

"This turtle grandson, fucking tricked Lao Tzu!" The old knife was angry and angry, "As soon as I got together, that kid was going to run immediately, of course I thought he had seen through my purpose, and his body was moved!" Who knew he was pretending! It's okay now, but it really tricked me into revealing my stuffing. ”

I looked left and right down the street: "What about people? ”

The old knife raised his hand and pointed: "Get in the car and run." ”

I know the reason for Lao Dao's chagrin: when we came, there was no parking space near the café, so Lao Dao parked the car far away, otherwise, Lao Dao would have already driven after him.

At this time, Meng Rong, who was following closely behind me, also chased out of the door of the coffee shop, she looked embarrassed, it was obvious that she had no experience in dealing with such emergencies.

However, following the direction of the old knife's finger, Meng Rong also glanced at it, and let out a soft "huh" from her mouth.

"What? Do you know this car, Miss Meng? Meng Rong's abnormality did not escape the eyes of the old knife, and he immediately turned around and asked.

"White Volkswagen Rapid ......" Meng Rong covered her mouth with one hand, and her tone was uncertain, "It looks like a ...... Fang Zhe's car ......"

Hearing this, I subconsciously looked down the street again, but unfortunately, the car had disappeared into the distant traffic and was completely out of sight. However, it doesn't matter, because I believe that Lao Dao will definitely not leave out such important information as the license plate number.

"The license plate is CA-4452H." Sure enough, the old knife immediately reported the license plate number.

Meng Rong nodded: "That's right, this is the number of Fang Zhe's car." ”

Lao Dao thought for a while and asked, "Has Miss Meng revealed this commission case and the matter of our meeting today to others?" ”

"Of course not." Meng Rong immediately denied it.

"In this way, there are really not a few people who doubt the true cause of Lin Sen's death." I smiled, "Miss Meng and Luo Xing both think so, and now add a Fang Zhe." ”

The old knife looked at me: "What about you?" ”

"I'm going to go to the scene of Lin Sen's death to see it myself." I replied, "It was already part of my survey, but I can't wait to bring it forward now." ”

The old knife did not speak, but nodded in agreement.

Meng Rong's eyes widened on the side: "Are you going to go to Lin Sen's house immediately?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey—"

At this moment, another person rushed out of the coffee shop, but it was a panting waitress.

I immediately remembered that the three of us rushed out like this, and people probably mistakenly thought that we were eating overlord meals.

I touched my nose and felt the temperature on my face rise a little bit – it was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing the three of us at the door, the waitress also stood still, and the four of us looked at each other, all of us with an indescribable embarrassment.

This waitress may have encountered such a situation for the first time, and she didn't know how to deal with it, and finally she blushed a little bit, and said, "That, a few guests, I'm sorry...... Have you forgotten...... Checkout? ”

The old knife coughed dryly, Meng Rong suddenly blushed, and I hurriedly said to the waitress: "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding." I'll go with you to settle the bill, okay? ”

The waitress naturally had no objection and took me to the front desk.

When I took out my wallet to pay the bill, I saw Meng Rong go to the direction of the bathroom, and the old knife walked up to me and whispered to me: "Meng Rong said that she wants to follow us to the scene to have a look." ”

"Really?"

"She said to go to the bathroom first and told us to wait for her."

I saw that the old knife seemed thoughtful, so I asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Not yet." Lao Dao said, "I told her, don't participate in our investigation, because this is an investigation, not a tour, and no one can say for sure what kind of danger it will encounter." ”

"So what?"

"But who told people to pay the bills? The one who gives the money is the uncle. She insisted that she wouldn't bother us, just take a look and leave right away. All I can say is that it's not an example. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "The scene over there has been sealed off by the police, and if she just followed to take a look, there shouldn't be any trouble." ”

The old knife said "En", took out a cigarette case, handed me one, and lit it himself, "Then wait for her." ”

But we waited for nearly fifteen minutes.

When Meng Rong came out, Lao Dao said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You won't be using the excuse to call anyone, right?" ”

Meng Rong's face froze, and she said angrily: "Girls are uncomfortable for a few days every month, you are a big man, are you so inconsiderate?" ”

This is more speechless, but there is really no way to refute it, and the old knife has no choice but to admit it.

We took a taxi and went straight to our destination without saying a word.

The community where Lin Sen's house is located is an old community that is a little old, and the main gate of the community is still an old-fashioned iron fence gate, although it has been painted with new paint, but some rust can still be seen.

There is also a pile of incense paper ashes and burnt candle heads at the entrance of the community, and Meng Rong said that she and a few friends of Lin Sen have come to worship not long ago.

The door was open, and the doorman was a man in his sixties, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sitting on a chair and napping.

Lin Sen's house was on the third floor, and it didn't take much time for us to stand in front of his house.

Because this is a homicide scene, the police will seal the entrance and exit of the house with seals after completing the evidence collection at the scene, so as to prevent unrelated people from entering and destroying the scene.

But we were stunned to find that the seal on this door had been torn open!

Lao Dao and I were both surprised, but before we could react, Meng Rong took a step ahead of us and pressed on the door - the door was locked, of course, but then Meng Rong did something that none of us expected: she only took a small step back and began to bang the door with her shoulder!
