The two young porters fled and forgot to ask for their wages, and Li Yi believed that they would never come to ask for it, because Li Yi told them that there had been a death on the powdery blue sofa they had just carried, and that a young nanny had been raped and killed by the male owner a week earlier, and the place of death was on this sofa.

It was on this day that Li Yi met Mr. Wen, and the sweater he wore that day was also powder blue.

For a man around forty-five years old, powder blue is a very bold choice, but this color is really suitable for Mr. Wen, especially with his dark silver glasses, which makes him very elegant.

He was standing in the doorway, carefully handing over an envelope clip.

Li Yi still clearly remembers that his hands were slender and white, and he wore a string of real Tibetan dzi bracelets on his wrists, which was extremely incompatible with his temperament, and even more incompatible was the jade wrench with a Buddha statue carved on his thumb and the jade Guanyin on his neck - obviously, he was afraid of getting something unclean with Li Yi's place.

"I was introduced by Mrs. Han." He whispered.

"Please come in." Li Yi opened the door.

Mr. Wen hesitated, gritted his teeth and entered the house with Li Yi, from that moment until he left, he had been crossing his hands and twisting the wrench in his hand vigorously, whenever there was any slight noise in the room, he would look around nervously.

"I was introduced by Mrs. Han." Mr. Wen sat on the powder-blue sofa and repeated what he had just said.

"I know." Li Yi was not surprised, got up and poured him a glass of soda.

Mrs. Han is Li Yi's old customer, her voice is hoarse, every word she says is noise, she often buys some high-quality home decorations from Li Yi and gives them to Mr. Han's mistress, because the mistress gave birth to a son for Mr. Han, and she herself has been nothing for many years.

Mr. Wen picked up the cup, but didn't drink it, he raised his head nervously: "It's Mrs. Han Jie......"

"I know it's Mrs. Han." Li Yi sat across from him with a smile: "Then Mrs. Han must tell you what business I do, what do you want?"

Mr. Han put down the cup and asked very carefully, "What do you have here?"

Li Yi smiled faintly and shrugged his shoulders: "Everything I have here is a matter of life, not including this glass of soda, of course."

Mr. Wen pretended to smile lightly, picked up the cup again and took a sip.

Li Yi is particularly fond of teasing his customers, especially those who come to his door for the first time.

He didn't do it to show that stupid sense of humor, of course, but to test the client. A true collector? A curious curiosity seeker? Is it a purchaser with some dirty purpose? Or a journalist who wants to dig up big news?

Seeing Mr. Wen drink the whole cup of soda, Li Yi smiled faintly: "I wonder if Mr. Wen is interested in this cup of soda?" Three weeks ago, a high school girl committed suicide by taking medicine with it. ”

Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, and then the cup fell to the ground, making a noisy crisp sound.

He clumsily pinched the glass ballast and said nervously, "I'm sorry, I don't know, I'll pay you."

With that, he took out a checkbook from his arms: "How much?"

"50,000." Li Yi casually opened an astonishing number.

Mr. Wen didn't have any opinions, but generously wrote a check for 50,000 yuan to Li Yi, and then turned his fingers nervously.

"So is Mr. Wen interested in the instruments used by these suicide victims? I also have a rope and a blade here, and the user has committed suicide, absolutely for the real thing. ”

Mr. Wen coughed wryly: "It's still ...... Are there any other types?"

Li Yi stared into his eyes and said, "Yes, there was a rape and murder case on this sofa you are sitting on."

Mr. Wen jumped up from the sofa, and then he felt out of shape again, and sat back down: "Is there anything else?"

Li Yi pretended to smile mysteriously, got up and took out a neatly folded shirt from the closet: "I saw Mr. Wen's shot so refreshing just now, so I was willing to take out this precious collection."

Li Yi spread his shirt on the table as he spoke: "Do you remember the murder case in the province a year ago?" At that time, the murderer was wearing this shirt to commit the murder, you look at the blood stains on the chest and cuffs, oh, and the tear in the shoulder, it should be left by the murderer and the victim when they tore apart, I have put a lot of effort into this shirt, you must know that this kind of thing is usually entered as evidence for the police. ”

Mr. Wen's body rubbed into the sofa, but he immediately remembered that the sofa was not clean, so he carefully moved it out, he took a quick look at the shirt, and immediately looked away.

Li Yi smiled helplessly: "It seems that Mr. Wen is not really interested in this kind of collection, if it is other customers, they will definitely love this shirt." Please go back, lest you have nightmares if you stay here for a long time. Don't say that every piece of furniture I have here, even the house itself is a murder house, you must have heard of the tragedy two years ago, a family of eight was killed by the murderer and the body was broken, and the case happened in this house. ”

Mr. Wen saw that Li Yi had a bit of an eviction order, and suddenly became excited.

He picked up his shirt suddenly, clenched it tightly in his hand, and said nervously: "I want this shirt, I also want the sofa, is the two pieces for a total of 3 million enough?"

"Enough!" Li Yi sneered.

As if he was afraid that Li Yi would regret it, Mr. Wen quickly wrote the check, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is there anything more fierce?"

"Yes!" Li Yi led Mr. Wen to the bedroom: "This bed, don't underestimate it, the serial murder case of young girls that was just solved last week, the murderer killed four girls in a row on this bed, and Titus is cruel!" How?"

Mr. Wen stared at the bed and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"Of course!" Li Yi stared at him, thinking to himself what was stimulated by this person, would he not hesitate to buy every piece of collection he provided? Thinking of this, Li Yi continued: "That's ......"

Mr. Wen suddenly interrupted Li Yi with a wave of his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I want a tire wrench."

"Tire wrench?" Li Yi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said in shock: "You don't want that, do you?!"

Mr. Wen nodded, but Li Yi shook his head into a rattle: "This case hasn't been solved yet, I'm afraid it's not so easy to ......."

Mr. Wen said: "That's why it's more collectible, if this case eventually becomes an unsolved case, then this tire wrench will be even more difficult to find." If you can get it, you can open it at any price. ”

"Whatever...... Open?!"

"Yes."

……

There are many rich people in this world who have no money to spend, and many of these rich people have strange personalities. Money is just a string of symbols in their eyes, and material satisfaction can no longer fill the void in their bones, so the initial perversion in the depths of their souls slowly swells. They have many strange hobbies, and it is normal for them to spend a lot of money and risk their lives to challenge various extreme sports. What is abnormal? Or like to steal small things, or like to collect strange things.

And their quirks are Li Yi's financial path. Two years ago, I started reselling all kinds of items used by the deceased, starting with the clothes of people who died normally in the hospital, and then moving on to the utensils used by the suicide and things related to various murders. The cost of these things is very low, and some of them have no cost at all, because people avoid them and want to give them away sooner rather than later. But when they arrived in Li Yi's hands, they immediately became valuable collections.

A year ago, Li Yi bought this murderous house at a super low price and began to officially run his "Scarlet Collection", of course, Li Yi does not have a business license, and he never does publicity, customers rely on word of mouth, and even new customers need to hold a letter of introduction from old customers to buy things here.

Li Yi's sense of smell is sharper than that of a journalist, his actions are faster than that of a policeman, and his thinking is clearer than that of a detective.

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Li Yi has never felt that there is anything wrong with his business, I don't kill people and set fires, I don't cheat and cheat, and I don't hurt nature and reason, and I earn every penny with peace of mind. Because of this, Li Yi has a lot of concerns about the goods that Mr. Wen wants, this tire wrench is really extraordinary, in fact, it is also one of the collections that I have paid the most attention to recently.

In the past two months, there have been five garage homicides in the city, all in the garages of large supermarkets and high-end communities. The murderer never deliberately chooses the time of the crime, and there are no specific characteristics of the victim, as if killing is just casual, killing whenever he wants, and killing whoever he wants. To be honest, Li Yi doesn't like such murderers, just like those who spit and urinate everywhere, they have no taste, don't pay attention to it, and have no sense of public morality at all, they only care about their own happiness, but they don't leave the audience a little bit of beauty.

The tire wrench that Mr. Wen asked for was the murder weapon in this series of murders. Moreover, Li Yi speculated that there should be only one murder weapon. The murderer was a very intelligent man, and he had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Murderers like this often use the same murder weapon when committing crimes consecutively, because the more murder weapons, the more clues may be left behind, and the more opportunities the murderer will be exposed.

The reason why Li Yi hesitated to Mr. Wen's request was because the case is currently being solved, and the police are also looking for this tire wrench, which is likely to be the key to solving the case. If I end up getting it and selling it to Mr. Wen, it will be an obstacle to the police solving the case - which is against my business principles.

Moreover, Mr. Wen is obviously not an avid collector, he must have another purpose for this tire wrench, and that purpose may be to shield the murderer, if Li Yi fulfills his wish, it is to help the abuse.

However, Mr. Wen's sentence "the price is open casually" is very tempting, he first lost the cup briskly, and then bought the shirt and sofa at a sky-high price, which is to send a message to Li Yi - he doesn't care about money.

Li Yi couldn't help but feel amused, wondering what he cared about?

Who has a grudge against money?

Anyway, Li Yi didn't.

Not only is Li Yi not, but he is also a fanatical collector of wealth like those perverted rich people who are keen on collecting dead people's things. Every night, Li Yi would only go to sleep contentedly after counting the property in his name one by one and counting the number of digits in his passbook.

You can despise him, Li Yi is so vulgar, because I used to be poor, and I was afraid of poverty. My father, who had worked so hard to raise me, died of a disease that was not fatal; Li Yi's sister, who has always been regarded as an idol, became someone else's mistress and became a fertility tool in order to have a house of her own in this city; Li Yi's once beloved girlfriend secretly married his male boss in order to earn an extra 800 yuan per month. All this because he has no money!

Li Yi decided to take the order, but only if he investigated Mr. Wen's true purpose. If he really just wanted to collect it, or for some purpose that was not evil, Li Yi would use his own means to find the murder weapon and provide it to the police.

After the murderer is caught, he will find a way to get the tire wrench out and sell it to Mr. Wen.

Although it is quite difficult to do so, and the cost will be high, Li Yi wants peace of mind. Besides, the extra cost will naturally be counted by Mr. Wen.

It is not difficult to investigate Mr. Wen.

He is a well-known real estate developer in the city, and his company is mainly responsible for the demolition and reconstruction plan of Beicheng District. He lost his wife at an early age, never married, and raised his son alone. His son, who is 17 years old, is said to be studying at a fully enclosed aristocratic school.

Mr. Wen has a good reputation in the industry, he is humble, has a good style of life, and never spends all his time drinking. He has never been aggressive in business, and even when he has a project, he often gives a piece of the pie to smaller companies in the industry, even when he has to go toe-to-toe with his rivals, he will leave a way for them to live. He is an honorary vice-president of the city's School of Economics, and was named one of the top ten outstanding young people last year.

Not only is Mr. Wen impeccable, but after verifying the time of the murder, Mr. Wen can completely rule out suspicion. At the time of the five murders, Mr. Wen was in public, either attending the urban reconstruction meeting held by the city government, or inspecting the construction site, in short, he could not have had time to commit the crime, and of course he would not be the murderer.

So what exactly does Mr. Wen want that tire wrench for? Is it really just a collector's quirk? Mr. Wen's performance that day really didn't look like he was interested in this kind of thing.

It seems that I can only learn about it from Mrs. Han.

Thinking of this, Li Yi dialed his sister's phone.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, and the crying of a child could be faintly heard inside.

"Sister......

"Aunt Liu, you pick up the child and coax him to stop crying!" My sister took the phone and shouted to the side before she said to me, "Hey? How are you doing?"

"It's good." I said lightly, "Recently, Mrs. Han sent you something again, right?"

"Well, there are one or two of them, and they all bought them from you, right? Let her go, I don't care about that, just collect antiques. You say, those rich people's collection of antiques, didn't the people who used those things die long ago? Besides, she gave me these things, which can not only let her secretly relieve her hatred, but also take care of your business, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"I know you don't care about these things, so I'm willing to sell her." Speaking of this, Li Yi hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Sister, when are you going to leave him?"

My sister sighed: "To be honest, I have long been dead to men, and I originally wanted to fly away after giving birth to a child, but now that the child is so young, I am really reluctant...... Besides, Mrs. Han now recognizes my existence on the surface, and sometimes stays here to eat with Old Han. ”

Li Yi pursed his lips disdainfully, and said in his heart, this Mr. Han will really enjoy the blessings of all people, and then, Li Yi turned to the topic: "By the way, have you heard Mrs. Han mention anything special recently?"

"What's the matter?"

"For example, did she mention anything about a surname Wen?"

My sister was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds and said, "It seems to be, but it's not recently, it's a long time ago." Once at dinner, she said to Lao Han that the boy has to be poor and can't be too used to it, otherwise he will be like Lao Wen's son, addicted to the Internet, and finally have to be sent to a school to quit Internet addiction and locked up. ”

This is very important, Li Yi quickly wrote it down on the sticky note, and then said, "Thank you, sister." Also, I recently got a big deal, and when the money is in hand, I'll take you and your children to France. I'm not discussing with you, you have no choice, you have to go with me, otherwise I won't recognize you as a sister!"

My sister was silent for a long time, and there was a faint sound of deep breathing on the phone, and then she choked up a little and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any nostalgia for this place at all...... It's just what my sister did that disappointed you...... By the way, why did you suddenly ask the surname Wen? And you said that you took a big deal, you won't hide anything from me, right? You're my only relative, don't ......."

"Don't worry, sister, I've grown up, and I know how to take care of myself better than you!" After that, Li Yi put down the phone and quickly checked the phone number of Mr. Wen's son's school through 114.

It was indeed an Internet addiction rehabilitation school, but Mr. Wen's son had not been in class for two months.

If you want to know Mr. Wen's true purpose, the most direct way is to ask him openly and honestly, and at present, it seems that this is indeed the only way.

"Hello, Mr. Wen." Li Yi dialed Mr. Wen's phone.

"Oh...... It's you, wait a minute......" There was a sound of hurried footsteps on the other end of the phone, probably he took the phone and walked to a place where there was no one.

After a while, Mr. Wen anxiously asked, "How is it?" Did you find that thing?"

Li Yi said very sincerely: "Frankly speaking, I haven't started to do this yet. Because I don't know why you want it. ”

Mr. Wen said: "You sell me to buy, do you still need a reason?" Besides, even if you want a reason, isn't it obvious? I love collecting these things. ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, you don't like these things, as far as I know, the shirt and sofa from last time were thrown into the garbage dump by you on the way back." Then again, if I was selling ordinary things, I wouldn't have asked about that. But you know exactly what I'm selling, and you know what you mean by what you want. Although my collection is shady, I also don't do anything that hurts nature. So, I would like to know why you want it. ”

Mr. Wen was a little angry and said, "If you don't want to do this business, forget it!" I think of something else! See you soon!"

Listening to his tone, it seemed that he wanted to hang up the phone, so Li Yi hurriedly said, "It's related to your son!"

Mr. Wen didn't hang up the phone, he was silent on the phone for a long time, and Li Yi could only hear the sound of the lighter and his heavy breathing.

After a few minutes, there was no confidence in his voice just now, and he whispered, "You investigate me?!"

"I can't talk about the investigation, but I just got a little bit of it." Li Yi pondered for a moment, plucked up his courage and said, "Your son shouldn't be the murderer, right?"

It was a very risky decision, and if I were to be right, I would have killed him.

But Mr. Wen's reaction was very violent, and anyone who heard this sentence would be as angry as him, he said, "Don't talk nonsense! When Mrs. Han said that you had an extraordinary ability to search for these things, she highly recommended you to me, so I decided to take the risk and give it a try. But things aren't what you think! My son is not the murderer, on the contrary, he is the victim! He was kidnapped by the killer, who wanted to exchange the tire wrench. You can't report this to the police, so you have to keep it a secret!"

Li Yi was stunned, this was his surprise.

So Li Yi couldn't help asking: "The murder weapon should be with the murderer, why did he ask for you?" And most importantly, why you and not someone else?"

Mr. Wen sighed: "I also learned after my son was kidnapped that the murderer is a nail household in the area where I am currently demolishing, and I tried my best to meet the requirements of those nail households, but his condition is to have a job in our company, and I want to support him for a lifetime, this head must not be opened, otherwise my company will not become a welfare home?" Unbeknownst to him, he had the idea of killing people like crazy to get revenge on me. ”

"Why did he kill you to get revenge on you?"

"Because all of his crime locations, whether they are supermarkets or communities, are developed by me. I only found out after he told me. The purpose of his doing this is to affect the real estate I have developed. After his latest crime, he accidentally lost the murder weapon, so he kidnapped my son and asked me to help him find it. He knew that I would go to find it, because once the murder weapon fell into the hands of the police, it would be difficult for him to escape. And he will definitely tell the motive for the crime, and then it will not only be affected by the few properties that have been developed, including the current reconstruction project in the north of the city, which will also be greatly affected. Think about it, who wants to buy a house in a place where there has been a perverted killer? Nowadays, people pay more or less attention to feng shui when buying houses, especially those who are rich, and the project in the north of the city is precisely a high-end residential ......"

After hearing this, Li Yi asked a very stupid question: "Since you already know who the murderer is, why don't you call the police?"

After hearing this question, Mr. Wen quickly hung up the phone, and fifteen minutes later, he appeared at Li Yi's doorstep.

……

This is the second time Li Yi has met Mr. Wen.

This time he didn't wear a powder-blue sweater, nor did he wear those accessories to ward off evil spirits, and of course he didn't have the elegance of the day.

He rushed in in a hurry, grabbed Li Yi's collar, his eyes turned blood-red, and said angrily: "I don't know what affected my judgment, I would tell you this!" Listen, you can't call the police! My son is in his hands! Even if my son comes back eventually, he can't call the police!"

Li Yi pushed him away, straightened his clothes, and said, "I can understand why your son didn't call the police, but why didn't you call the police even if your son came back safely?"

Mr. Wen frowned tightly and wiped his face fiercely: "Because I can't let others know who he is and why he kills, this loss is ...... Immeasurable!"

"Then you're going to let the murderer get away with it?"

Mr. Wen suddenly clenched his fists tightly and said coldly: "Even if he is brought to justice, those victims will not be able to come back from the dead, but on the contrary, he has achieved his despicable purpose, doesn't he just want to destroy my house!" You are also a businessman, so you should be able to weigh the stakes clearly. Moreover, in the face of extraordinary people and extraordinary events, we can also use extraordinary means to uphold justice. ”

Li Yi understands what Mr. Wen means by "extraordinary means", and believes that he has the ability. As long as the murderer can finally be repaid with his life, it doesn't matter to Li Yi who the executor is.

The most important thing is that Li Yi must take over this business now, and then quickly take his sister away after the matter is completed, because except for the murderer, Li Yi is the only person in the know, and after the matter is over, Mr. Wen will not let Li Yi have a good life for his real estate.

Li Yi said lightly: "I took this business, but you have to tell me everything you know."

Mr. Wen looked at me again from top to bottom, and finally nodded.

The murderer's name is Cheng Jie, male, 39 years old. After being laid off a few years ago, he barely survived by doing some odd jobs, and the dilapidated house of more than ten square meters was the last straw for him to make a fortune, so he would cling to it, and even did not hesitate to commit murder to achieve his goal. The only picture I could find of him was the hideous silhouette on the front page of the newspaper the other day. In the photo, he stands in the middle of the rubble, pointing viciously at several construction workers, as if cursing something.

Cheng Jie's most recent crime was in the afternoon 14 days ago, when he quickly evacuated as planned after killing a middle-aged woman in a garage in the community. Mr. Wen said (of course, he also listened to the murderer) that Cheng Jie was about to go to the neighborhood to eat a bowl of beef noodles after staying away from the scene of the crime, but found a young woman's car breaking down on the road. He had been a worker in an auto repair shop before he was laid off, and he thought he was a warm-hearted person, and the woman was very pitiful, so he took the initiative to help her change her tires. When he got home, he realized that he had taken the wrong tire wrench. After that, as we can see, he kidnapped Mr. Wen's son and coerced him to help him find the tire wrench, and he firmly believed that Mr. Wen would definitely help him for the sake of his son and business.

Li Yi asked Mr. Wen to copy all the surveillance footage near that section of the road, but there was no camera on the section where Cheng Jie repaired the car.

Li Yi can only check the vehicles passing in front and behind the road section one by one. It was a very patient and time-consuming job, and it took up almost all of my energy, so much so that I didn't have time to think about other important things, until Li Yi found a black Beetle in the surveillance video.

Li Yi fixed the camera on the rear of the car, then zoomed in, and finally determined that it was his sister's car.

"Sister."

"Huh?" There was a noise on the other end of the phone.

"Why are you so messed up over there?" Li Yi asked suspiciously.

"Oh," said my sister as she coaxed the child, "I wanted to surprise you." I've snuck out of Lao Han with my children, and I'm making up for French now. Don't worry, you're my sister, I won't be polite to you! The procedures and costs of going abroad are up to you, but when I arrive in France, it's time for my sister and me to show their skills. Don't forget, I was a talented French student!" Speaking of this, my sister deliberately laughed happily twice: "My sister has decided, I want to be the sister you admire again, and become your role model again......"

"Sister......" Li Yi wiped the tears gushing out, and was full of emotion for a while, as if he was back in his childhood, Li Yi pulled the corner of her clothes and followed her closely, for fear of being abandoned by her sister as a burden.

But Li Yi immediately returned to reality, and Zhengse asked: "Sister, did you drive that Beetle past Zhongshan Road half a month ago, that is, around the 26th of last month?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Don't ask so much first, I can't explain it for a while."

My sister thought for a while and said, "It seems to be, I don't know if it's the 26th, but I did drive out in those days, and I also passed by Zhongshan Road."

"Did your car break down?"

My sister was surprised, "How do you know?"

Li Yi hurriedly asked, "Is there a man who took the initiative to help you change your tires?"

"yes, that's a very enthusiastic lad."

I was stunned and asked, "Boy?!" What kind of lad?"

My sister said: "I look about 20 years old, and I have a cinnabar mole in the center of my eyebrows, which is quite delicate." I can't imagine that today's young people are so enthusiastic. ”

Li Yi's heart sank suddenly, and he asked tremblingly, "Where is the car?" Where's the tire wrench in the car?"

My sister smiled and said, "Silly brother, since I have decided to be self-reliant, the car will naturally stay in the house that Lao Han bought for me." As for tire wrenches...... It should be in the trunk, what's wrong with you? What the hell is going on?"

Li Yi took a deep breath and said solemnly, seriously, word by word: "Sister, listen well. Don't talk to anyone about car repairs and tire wrenches, even about you passing by Zhongshan Road on the 26th. Don't tell anyone where you live now. Don't go out lately, I'll contact you in a few days, but don't take the initiative to call me. Sister, what I just told you is very important, you must keep it in mind!"

My sister was worried, "What do you mean by that?" What the hell is going on? Do you want my sister to help?"

Li Yi hurriedly comforted: "Sister, don't worry, I can handle it, if you listen to me, you will help me a lot!"

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi sat motionless on the sofa, from noon to dusk, from dusk to late at night. Since the tragedy of the house was destroyed, the people upstairs and downstairs and across the door have moved away, so it is very quiet in the middle of the night.

Li Yi is not afraid of ghosts and gods, but he is only afraid of poverty, but this night, for some reason, is terrifying, the room seems to be filled with heart-rending screams, but when Li Yi listens carefully, all the sounds disappear in unison.

The ghost is in Li Yi's heart, he is already helping to abuse, there is a ghost on every thing in this house, and what they can't stand the most is the impunity of any murderer.

Li Yi rushed to the construction site in the north of the city overnight and stumbled into a pile of rubble. In the middle of the ruins there was a dimly lit window, and the flickering candlelight flickered like a ghostly fire.

The one who opened the door was an old man who kept coughing, and he was not surprised by Li Yi's arrival, probably treating Li Yi as a lobbyist for the demolition and relocation office.

He freed up a chair from the dusty room, coughed violently, and said, "Our request is very simple, that is, to arrange a security job for Cheng Jie in Mr. Wen's company, and then cure my illness." We don't want that dead money, we just want a way to live, why is it so difficult? Besides, I don't have any bad money......"

The old man said, coughing violently again.

This small building in ruins has been cut off from water, electricity and gas for many days, the room is full of basins, and the honeycomb coal stove in the corner emits a pungent smell.

For some reason, Li Yi felt a sour feeling in his heart, inexplicably thinking of his old father who died of illness.

Li Yi helped the old man sit down and whispered, "I'm here to find Cheng Jie, I'm his friend." Do you know where he is?"

The old man tried to stop coughing and said, "I also want to know where he is, I haven't seen him for more than half a month." Half a month ago, a girl as beautiful as you came to him, but he hasn't come back yet. ”

"Do you know what he's been up to in the last two months?"

The old man said: "I just came out of the hospital half a month ago, and I really can't afford to pay the hospitalization fee.

"Oh...... That's the case," Li Yi thought for a while and said: "I have a friend who runs a car wash, not only washes cars, but also repairs small problems with cars, and I want to recommend Cheng Jie to try it."

The old man looked at Li Yi, but he didn't expect to burst into tears for such a small favor, and he held my hand: "Young man, you are really a kind person!" But my son is stupid, although he used to work in an auto repair shop, he is just a handyman, and he has not learned the ability to repair cars at all. I'm afraid that he won't be able to do anything well, and when the time comes, it will make you lose face. ”

Li Yi continued unwillingly: "It doesn't matter, even if you can change a tire or something."

The old man sighed: "If your friend needs a security guard or an errand boy, then let him go, but he doesn't even know how to open the back cover of the car, how can he repair the car?" By the way, if you see Cheng Jie, let him come back early. We don't have a good deal with this nail, and it's better to take some money to make a living for ourselves than to suffer here. ”

"yes, I see." Li Yi got up, secretly put all the money he was carrying on the stool, and then left the ruins.

Along the way, the old man's coughing sound kept echoing in Li Yi's ears, and every sound made people's hearts ache and ache.

Up to now, although Li Yi can't be sure that the person who helped his sister repair the car is the murderer, he is almost certain that Cheng Jie is not the murderer, at least not the person who lost the murder weapon because he helped someone repair the car as Mr. Wen said, not to mention that Cheng Jie has no cinnabar mole at all.

On the other hand, what if the person who helped my sister repair the car was the murderer? Who else can make Mr. Wen tell a big lie? Except for his son, Li Yi couldn't think of a second person.

After returning home, Li Yi re-read the information he had collected about Mr. Wen and his son—Mr. Wen's son had not been to school for two months, and the murder had occurred during these two months; Mr. Wen's son is addicted to the Internet, and his main project on the Internet is to play "Grand Theft Auto", the biggest feature of this game is that you can kill innocents with various weapons on the street; Because of playing "Grand Theft Auto", Mr. Wen's son is very interested in cars, although he does not have a driver's license, he received a car as a gift on his 17th birthday; The most important point is that Mr. Wen's son does have a cinnabar mole on his eyebrows, which is basically consistent with Mr. Wen's son in terms of age and the characteristics described by his sister; The garage surveillance video at the scene of the crime did not contain any clues about the murderer, and all the cameras that could capture the location of the murder were blocked by hydrogen balloons in advance. Only people who know the location of each camera very well know how to escape the surveillance and walk, and only then do they know that every camera should be blocked, which is why the murderer chose the real estate built by Mr. Wen to commit the murder, because he has a convenient way to get the drawings.

All the spearheads were pointed at Mr. Wen's son, but Li Yi couldn't take risks, he decided that he had to find someone to be the shield, and that person was Mrs. Han.

In the following two days, Li Yi quickly contacted his old customers and discounted all the collections in his hands, including this set of murderous mansions that many collectors dreamed of.

On the other hand, Li Yi found an intermediary company to quickly go through the procedures for him, his sister and his children to go abroad.

If the truth is really as Mr. Wen said, then at most I won't be able to get along here after this incident is over, but Li Yi can at least go abroad smoothly, which makes Mr. Wen feel at ease about his secret.

But if Mr. Wen's son is the murderer, it will be completely different, he will not tolerate anyone who threatens his son's life to stay in this world, even if Li Yi knows nothing about the truth, he will not escape death.

After everything was done, Li Yi pretended to be very excited and called Mr. Wen and told him that I had found the tire wrench. Mr. Wen didn't show too much excitement, he asked, "What kind of car is that woman's car?"

Li Yi said cautiously: "It's a black Beetle."

Mr. Wen's tone became relaxed at this time, it was obvious that he had known the model for a long time, but he didn't tell me in advance, in order to test whether I was lying to him at such a time. He said on the phone, "Did you get that tire wrench?"

Li Yi tried his best to keep himself calm, and as usual, said lightly: "No." But I can tell you the license plate number, and I believe that with the license plate number you can quickly find the owner of the car, and the owner should be unaware of all this, and you can get it back for any reason. ”

The reason why Li Yi dared to say this is because Mr. Han has always been stingy, he bought a car for his sister, but it was registered in Mrs. Han's name, and Mrs. Han came to Li Yi to buy things on the 26th of last month, and Zhongshan Road is also the only way for her to get here.

What's more, what Li Yi gave Mr. Wen was the license plate number of Mrs. Han's car. In this way, even if Mr. Wen is willing to take the time to personally check the surveillance video, the two black Beetles that have passed by here during this time period are also in Mrs. Han's name.

Mr. Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Since I am buying things from you, it is better for you to give them to me directly." Otherwise, how can our business be calculated?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I won't do this business, just treat it as a help to you, and when your community is opened, just give me a discount room."

Mr. Wen seemed to sense something, and said: "As far as I know, you are a person who loves money as much as life, and now this collection is at your fingertips, and it will be a huge wealth with it, how can you give it up?" I also heard that you have been busy with the collection recently, and you have also gone through the formalities of leaving the country, isn't it ......?"

Li Yi deliberately trembled and said: "It seems that Mr. Wen has also investigated me, so I will tell the truth, although I am doing a dangerous business, I am actually very bold." It's an extraordinary business, and you say you don't want to call the police. In case there is anything wrong when you use 'extraordinary means' to deal with Cheng Jie, or if it is a little late by two days, in case the murderer knows that I found the murder weapon, I am afraid that he will kill people and kill him...... I love money, but money is not as important as life!"

Mr. Wen seemed to believe Li Yi's words, but he definitely didn't fully believe it, and there was still some doubt in his eyes.

Hung up the phone, Li Yi quickly contacted his sister, and took her and the child straight to the airport non-stop, and at the moment before the plane took off, Li Yi called "110" to tell them where the real murder weapon was.

When the dust settled, Li Yi looked at his sister who was smiling gently, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable.

My sister and I live a quiet and comfortable life in a small town in France.

My sister teaches Chinese at a local foreign language school, while Li Yi has started a collection business, of course, a blood collection.

Then one day, Li Yi saw the news of a garage serial murder case on a domestic portal.

According to the news, after the police searched for the murder weapon, they quickly found the murderer according to fingerprints, and the murderer fell to his death in the process of escaping.

There are two photos in the news, one is a photo of the murderer after falling from the building, in the photo, the murderer is lying crookedly in a pool of blood in an extremely unwilling posture, although his face is mosaic, but it can still be seen from his body that he is very young; Another photo is of Mr. Wen, who was arrested for buying and killing Mrs. Han and nail Hu Cheng Jie, but for some reason his expression looked extremely sad and angry, as if he had been greatly wronged.

According to the news, Mr. Wen has always insisted that his son is a victim and not a murderer at all, and that the murderer should be a mysterious man who once abducted his son; His son fled because he mistakenly thought the police were arresting him for driving without a license; He did not commit suicide by jumping off a building in fear of sin, but fell down.

Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help frowning.

Judging from the situation before he left the country, Cheng Jie was just a reason for Mr. Wen to lie to me to search for the murder weapon, he could just find a reason or give him some money and let him disappear for a while, there was no need to tell him anything, let alone kill him. Of course, it is not ruled out that Mr. Wen will kill people in order to be foolproof.

However, what puzzled Li Yi the most was that the police did not find the murder weapon in his sister's car, but in Mr. Wen's son's car - what does this mean?

Assuming that Mr. Wen's son is really the murderer, then the murder weapon is in his own car, why does he go to great lengths to find the murder weapon?

If Mr. Wen's son is not the murderer at all, then who is the murderer? Why did the murder weapon appear in Mr. Wen's son's car?

Li Yi frowned tightly and stared at the computer screen to continue reading.

At the end of the news, the serial killings also set off some chain reactions, and Mr. Wen, the largest local real estate developer, was not only sentenced to death, but all the properties he developed were boycotted by the public. Another implicated is Mr. Han, who is not only Mr. Wen's business partner, but also the most famous local surveillance system builder, Mr. Wen's monitoring system for all real estate is made by him, and his monitoring system is useless at the time of the murder, without any meaning of existence.

Seeing this, Li Yi's heart couldn't help but sink, and the hand holding the mouse couldn't help but tremble.

At that moment, Li Yi's mind popped up with the consumption list he saw when he helped his sister pack her luggage before going abroad.

It was a consumption receipt from a star-rated hotel, and the last signature was Cheng Jie, and the date was when Mr. Wen found Li Yi.

At that time, Li Yi asked casually, and his sister absentmindedly told him that Cheng Jie was her college classmate, and she came here on a business trip a while ago, and she just did her best to be a landlord. At that time, Li Yi didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a duplicate name, but now somehow, thinking of this document, thinking of Mr. Han who was on the verge of bankruptcy, thinking of Mrs. Han who died in vain, thinking of the woman mentioned by Cheng Jie's father, and remembering what Mr. Wen said after being arrested, Li Yi's heart twitched.

My sister came over with the child in her arms and glanced at the news on the screen, and said lightly: "It's really evil and evil retribution."

At this point, she suddenly put down the child and hugged me from behind: "Thank you, little brother."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for giving me a chance to start over, you were wronged the other day."

Li Yi didn't speak, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks into his collar, and then turned into two cold little snakes, which went straight into Li Yi's heart.

At this moment, another speculation popped up in Li Yi's mind - the murderer may indeed have lost the murder weapon, and he did lose it when repairing the car, but the murderer was not the person who repaired the car, but the person who broke the car.

Li Yi closed his eyes slightly, and pictures burst out in his mind:

Li Yi was excited when she saw her sister receiving the new car from Mr. Han, but when she saw the name of the owner, she was desperate; Li Yi saw his sister accept Mrs. Han's ill-intentioned gift with a smile on her face, and turned around with a look of hatred...... Li Yi saw that his sister had stolen the design drawings of the surveillance system from Mr. Han, and then drove into the garage.

She carefully avoided the camera and got out of the car with the child in her arms.

While pretending to coax the child with the balloon, she also found the right angle to let the balloon float just enough to block the camera.

Then, she put the child in the car, put on gloves and took out a tire wrench from the trunk...... Li Yi saw that his sister's car broke down halfway, and Xiao Wen, who skipped class and went to an Internet café, happened to drive by......

Li Yi saw that Xiao Wen took the wrong tire wrench on his sister's car, and after his sister found out Xiao Wen's identity afterwards, he decided to blame Xiao Wen for the plan.

If Mr. Wen called the police, his sister would definitely kill Xiao Wen, so that when the police found the murder weapon, they would only find the fingerprints left by Xiao Wen when he repaired the car, and Xiao Wen, who had already been killed, would have no way to justify; If Mr. Wen hadn't called the police, then his sister would have been able to retrieve the murder weapon smoothly.

Li Yi saw that his sister had found Cheng Jie, who was at the end of his rope......

Li Yi saw her sister's stunned and panicked when she received his call, she didn't expect Mr. Wen to find Li Yi......

Li Yi didn't know how his sister persuaded Cheng Jie to call Mr. Wen and claim to be the murderer, and he didn't know how his sister abducted Xiao Wen, and he couldn't know many details, but the speculation that "my sister is the real murderer" can give everything a reasonable explanation.

Mr. Wen and his son are innocent, in Mr. Wen's eyes, Cheng Jie is the real murderer, and it is Mrs. Han who broke the car, so in order to keep his real estate, he will kill Cheng Jie and Mrs. Han, the only one who saw Cheng Jie.

"Little brother, why are you crying?" My sister asked with concern.

"It's fine." Li Yi hurriedly wiped his tears, looked at his sister who was full of yearning for a new life, looked at the sister who was full of confidence and thought that she could go back to the past and start over, and looked at the sister who became Li Yi's spiritual pillar again, I said: "I just feel that our sister and brother are living together intimately again, and I feel so happy."

My sister smiled and hooked Li Yi's nose: "Silly brother!"

"Sister."

"Huh?"

"I'm going back to China in the next two days, and I forgot a very important piece of my collection in its original place."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Li Yi had to go back to the hotel where Cheng Jie was killed to confirm something.

If Li Yi saw his sister in the surveillance video of the hotel, then his speculation just now was basically true.

And Li Yi will do everything possible to destroy those videos, because that is the biggest flaw left by his sister. If this is the case, Li Yi will not be able to continue my blood collection for the rest of his life, because he will no longer be as open-minded as before, and he will no longer be as comfortable as before.

He would be terrified of his collections, because every single piece of them would be resentful......
