In a small wooden house in the slum. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The strong man pushed the door open and carried the thin man into the house.
"I've stressed to you hundreds of times, don't be too ostentatious, don't be too ostentatious! Why don't you listen! Still taking my pistol out to mess around, it's really nonsense. The strong man closed the door and threw the pistol on the table, making a sound of the table colliding with the pistol, and the dust on the table also rippled, spreading like the smell of smoke.
"I don't want to deal with them in general, it's a group of them who force me up, what can I do! Besides! What do we get in exchange for doing such a dangerous thing? The thin man sat down on the bench next to him.
Pointing to the dark, damp floor, the windows were tightly closed, and the smell of mold was in the air.
"Is it just to live in this house? We have money now, but we have money but we can't spend it, and we hide all day long! Some time ago, I just went to Eliza Mall to buy a pair of shoes, and you said that I exposed my whereabouts, and forced me to delete the surveillance records of Eliza Mall! I'm fed up! I can't live this day anymore! The thin man stood up and shouted at the strong man.
"You're so breathless, and sooner or later you'll hurt yourself! Hurt your companions! The strong man stared at him, gritted his teeth in anger, and threw down a sentence to grab the door.
......
Queensland Police Department Conference Room.
"Here's his stuff." Wu Fan handed a document to Li Bi. "His name is Thin Monkey, a native of Zheng County, after graduating from primary school, he went to the slums of Queensland, lived by the abduction of the pit, and was arrested by the police for theft and intentional injury many times, but they were all repeatedly taught! It's unbelievable that he'll be in Eliza Mall, he can't afford to spend anything there, let alone Anleo shoes! ā
"Slums? Is it a place where the poor live? Li Bi asked.
"That's right! Located on the fringes of Queensland, the slums are poor, living mainly on vegetables grown in the surrounding cities. ā
"This skinny monkey is indeed suspicious!" Li Bi said in a low voice, "Can you find out his current detailed address?" āć
"Someone saw him at No. 189 East Slum Street the other day, brought a pistol to the temple of Our Lady to make trouble, when the police arrived, he was no longer there, and the local villagers said he was taken away by a man wearing a sunhat."
"Looks like he has other gangs, I need to go to the slums!" Li Bi put on a black Maoni coat and walked out.
"Ding Ding Ding ......" The office phone of the Police Department rang, Wu Fan hurriedly ran over to answer the phone, he knew that there must be another case in Queensland!
......
In front of the Temple of Our Lady, it was crowded with onlookers, but they did not come to worship, but to watch. A deceased man was found in the temple this morning, hanging in front of the statue of Our Lady, with blue corners of his mouth, vertical body, clenched hands, and wearing a pair of Henrio's leather shoes.
"This is not the kid who came to the Temple of Our Lady a few days ago to spread wild, I remember him!"
"Our Lady has really appeared!"
"That's right! Our Lady has come to punish the one who has rebelled against Him! ā
The villagers are talking.
"Let me pass it off, I'm from the Queensland Police." As soon as Li Bi arrived in front of the temple of Our Lady, he saw that the temple was crowded with villagers, and they heard that there were dead people inside.
The Temple of Our Lady was surrounded by villagers watching the excitement, and Li Bi's voice was also drowned in the crowd, and instead of squeezing in, he was squeezed out and almost hit the oncoming Type 92 police car.
"Are you alright? Inspector Lee! The police car stopped, and the people in the car got down and hurried over to pick up Li Bi.
"Wu Fan?" Li Bi raised his head and saw familiar faces.
"Well, as soon as you left, I received a call from the police, there was a murder in the slum!" Wu Fan said.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't get in the way of the National Police Agency's case! The other three people in the car also got out and walked straight to the crowd, shouting loudly.
"The police are coming! The police are coming! When the villagers saw people in police uniforms coming, they all gave way.
Li Bi, Wu Fan and others entered the temple of Our Lady and saw a short man hanging from a pillar in the temple, about 1.6 meters tall, a thick hemp rope hanging around his neck, and a long bench about 40cm high next to him.
"He should have stepped on this bench and hanged himself! What a apparition! Wu Fan said, turning back to the policeman who was following behind, "Put the body down first." ā
"Yes, Team Wu!"
The trio went into action.
Two taller policemen took the body down and placed it on the ground.
"It's ...... Skinny dogs? Wu Fan recognized the face of the deceased.
"Captain, I can't reach this rope!" The short man stood on the stool, trying to untie the rope, how could it not be tall enough.
"That's not right...... He didn't hang himself. Li Bi shook his head, looked at the rope hanging from the hanging beam, and then looked at the short policeman standing on the stool.
"He didn't commit suicide, it was the Virgin who apparitioned! Punished this arrogant and unreasonable boy, the strong man had already warned him not to go wild in front of the Temple of Our Lady, he just didn't stop! The villagers who were reluctant to leave were still standing at the door, and an old man stood up and shouted.
"Could it be that it is really the apparition of the Virgin?" Wu Fan glanced at the statue of the Virgin Mary placed on the altar and asked.
"No, he killed him, the murderer's height is more than one meter eight!" Li Bi replied.
"How tall are you?" Li Bi walked towards the short policeman.
"The net height is 1.58 meters, and I am 1.6 meters in shoes!" The short man jumped off the stool.
"Oh! The skinny dog was only 1.6 meters tall, and he couldn't get the rope on the hanging beam. Wu Fan suddenly realized.
"Then how do you guess that the murderer's height is more than 1.8 meters?"
"You stand on the stool and try your best to remove the rope!" Li Bi said to Wu Fan.
Wu Fan did so. Standing on the stool, his hand just within reach of the rope, he had to pad his feet a little.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're 179.5cm." Li Bi has a unique talent for measurement.
"That's right, so the person who can tie the rope must be more than 180cm tall!" Wu Fan untied the rope, got down from the stool, and looked at Li Bi with appreciative eyes. "Oh my God! You're a genius! ā
"Nope! I'm just looking at it more closely than anyone else. Li Bi straightened the collar of his black trench coat, and in the late autumn season, it was indeed a little cold.
"Report to the captain! A preliminary examination of the deceased was found between two and three o'clock in the morning, and there were no other marks on his body except for the strangulation marks on his neck. A policeman made a report to Wu Fan as usual.
Li Bi and Wu Fan walked towards the deceased.
Li Bi squatted down to observe carefully, there was a vague strangulation mark on his neck, he was wearing shabby clothes, and the pair of Anglio leather shoes on his feet were still tightly on his feet, which was in stark contrast to the shabby clothes, and his hands were clenched very tightly.
