Chapter 9: Confusion

Zhao Jing listened to me silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Gu Rui! ā€

Only then did I come back to my senses: "It's okay, it's okay, by the way, I saw you with another girl that day, do you know the identity of that girl?" ā€

"She, she is from the Northeast, and like me, she came after the New Year, and it is said that she was taken by that gentleman when she was looking for a job and brought to the Zhuxiang Teahouse." Zhao Jing couldn't help but ask again, "What's going on?" ā€

"It's nothing, there's something going on in the teahouse, I'll ask." I finally reminded: "That, you are not familiar with life here, if you are looking for a job or something outside, you have to be more attentive, pay attention to safety, I still have something to do here, hang up first." ā€

After that, I hung up my phone and ran back to the antique store to tell my second uncle about the incident, and the second uncle immediately drove me to the scene.

The body had been carried away, and the Honda CRV at the scene had crashed into a poplar tree on the side of the road, and the front windshield had been shattered and there was blood all over the ground.

"Did you hit it yourself?" I looked at the miserable scene in one place, turned my head and asked Chu Ying.

"Well, I hit it myself, there's a video." Chu Ying nodded: "About an hour ago, the deceased was an entrepreneur, and it was said that he was working overtime in the office last night, and he went out to go home in the morning, and he didn't drive far before something like this happened." ā€

"Has the medical examiner been here?" I suddenly realized that I was now the captain of the criminal police team.

"It's been here, fatigue driving."

I nodded, and saw that the second uncle had already checked the situation in the car, and hurriedly walked over: "Second uncle, have you found anything?" ā€

"This person ......" the second uncle paused, bowed and picked up something from the car and put it on my hand.

I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a mahjong card, "a tube".

"He's the guy who played 'four rounds back to the West'?!" I was surprised.

The second uncle nodded: "If you guess correctly, it should be." You called Zhao Jing before, and she said that the only anomaly that day was that no one talked about business, and they were all playing mahjong wholeheartedly. ā€

Chu Ying on the side smiled bitterly: "Second uncle, you and Brother Gu Rui have become criminal policemen now, but we don't file a case here, and it will be difficult for me to investigate." The most important thing is that this person also died accidentally, and there is no evidence that he killed him! ā€

"No, that's not right!" The second uncle shook his head: "He didn't die accidentally, he committed suicide." ā€

"Suicide?!" Chu Ying and I looked at each other, not knowing why the second uncle said this.

"Ha, Xiaorui, you have to learn a little, let's take care of our family, in addition to the genes are naturally special, the observation of things is also naturally sensitive, otherwise so many years of antique business, whether it is looking at people or things, can we not eat a loss?" The second uncle snorted, turned around and pointed to the car, and then handed me a photo of Chu Ying and them before: "Look at it, can you see something?" ā€

I took the photo, and Chu Ying also came up to take a closer look, but I didn't see any clues.

"Look at the ground, there's not a trace of brakes." The second uncle pointed to the road and said, "When Chu Ying showed me the video just now, I could also see that when the car was driving smoothly in a straight line, it suddenly made a sharp turn and hit this big poplar tree. ā€

I hurriedly looked at the road, and it was true, and then looked at the photo in my hand, and my eyes lit up: "Got it!" If it is fatigue driving, the human body will have an instinctive reaction at the critical moment, which is subconscious! That is to say, if the deceased is fatigued driving, there will be an instinctive braking action before hitting the tree, and the body will also lean back, but from the photo, the deceased's feet are crossed under the seat, a certain distance from the brakes, and the body looks very relaxed, and his arms hang down naturally, indicating that he made a conscious sharp turn and let his car crash into the tree! ā€

"That's right!" The second uncle smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "It can also be seen from the video that after the sharp turn, the speed of the car has a relatively obvious drop, but there are no traces of any brakes, indicating that the deceased was intentional, after the sharp turn, his feet left the brake and accelerator, so this situation will occur, from which it can be seen that he committed suicide." ā€

"Obediently-" Chu Ying looked at me and my second uncle with admiration: "You two don't open any antique shops, you can change your career to become a detective, you don't need our police!" ā€

"Therefore, I am even more certain that he is the one who knew that he was going to die and played 'four rounds to return to the West together', so he committed suicide." The second uncle added with a smile.

"So what now?" As I spoke, I looked at the car, but suddenly I saw a figure in the distance, wearing a hat, a mask, and sunglasses, and I couldn't tell who it was, only that it was a girl!

"She?!" I stretched out my hand, and the girl turned and ran, because it was far away, and it was soon gone.

"That girl should be the one that the deceased brought to the Zhuxiang Teahouse!" I frowned: "Is it related to her?" Why is she here?! ā€

"Xiao Chu, let's go!"

A captain of the criminal police team shouted at Chu Ying, we also know each other, this captain has been working for many years, because he is very close to the antique shop, he still goes to the store from time to time to sit and talk to the second uncle, otherwise, with Chu Ying alone, we can't see so many things at the scene of the crime every time.

The captain nodded at us, and Chu Ying also said hello to us, turned around and left.

I went back to the car with my second uncle, I thought about it and said, "Second uncle, find Uncle Hao and ask that girl out." ā€

"Do you see clearly? Don't make the mistake! "Second Uncle looked at me.

I nodded: "Don't worry, that's right, because she and Zhao Jing are the only ones inside, so I remember it very clearly." ā€

The second uncle answered and called Uncle Hao, Uncle Hao said that the store was closed for a day yesterday and has reopened today, but he didn't notice that the girl was not there, but because she was working normally, she should be there, so let's go directly.

The Zhuxiang teahouse is also on the South Second Ring Road, and we entered the teahouse ten minutes later.

"Second master, long time no see!" Uncle Hao greeted him with a smile, but this smile was much more bitter than the smile of the previous day.

"Lao Hao, you have to pay attention to your shape, if you continue like this, you will become a basketball!" The second uncle was joking.

"Ahem, don't say it, I guess once this thing comes out, it's hard for me to become a basketball!" Uncle Hao said and let the two of us into a private room, and personally made a pot of tea for us: "I heard that Boss Wang also had an accident?" ā€

The second uncle nodded: "Well, we also heard, just passing by just now, Xiaorui seemed to see the girl introduced by Boss Wang, but because she was wrapped too tightly, she couldn't see her face clearly, so she hurriedly came over to take a look." ā€

"Well, I just looked, the little girl is in the store, but I'm also too busy, I haven't paid attention to it in the morning, I don't know where I was just now, or, call you over and ask?" The little eyes behind Uncle Hao's glasses were shining, looking at us without blinking.

This man has a lot of eyes! I think that after so many years in the government, and then going to the sea to do business so successfully, a stupid person can't do it. He said to ask the little girl to come in and ask us, but he didn't ask before, obviously trying to drag us into the water, and if there was one more person in the water, he would have one more way.

"Alright, call in!" The second uncle grinned, picked up the teacup and said.

Uncle Hao nodded, turned around and went out, and after a while, the girl knocked on the door and came in!

Yes, this Uncle Hao is really good at what he does, he doesn't come in, it has nothing to do with this matter, he doesn't know anything when asked, and he is not at the scene!

My second uncle and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly, looking at the girl in front of me, still wearing a cheongsam, looking a little nervous.

"Beauty, we've met." I smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, not long ago, Mr. Wang had an accident, do you know?" ā€

"I—I know." The girl said timidly.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"It was Mr. Hao who told me, when the accident happened, Mr. Hao received a phone call, and then told me." The girl's hands were clenched, and her willow brows were slightly furrowed.

"Hmm......" I nodded, Uncle Hao may have lied just now, he said that he hadn't seen this girl before the second uncle called today, so how did he tell the girl that Boss Wang had an accident?
