Chapter XIV: Evidence
"Teacher Lin, can I ask you a few questions?" As soon as he entered the door, Gu Jie found Lin Jingran sitting in the corner, and saw that she didn't have any big mood swings, so he asked.
"Is that you?" Lin Jingran raised his head and smiled at everyone, "No problem, young detectives. â
"Teacher Lin's watch is very good-looking, where did you buy it?"
What are you asking? Ouyang Xiu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and glanced at Nan Ruoxun next to him, the other party's expression was similar to his own, and he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Wait a minute? Wristwatch? After thinking about it, Ouyang Xiu found that Lin Jingran was carrying a relatively brand-new watch on his wrist, but one of the buckles of the watch belt had a trace of pulling, and the words 2jr were written on the belt with a black carbon pen.
Finally, I finally found the evidence! A heartfelt smile appeared on Ouyang Xiu's face, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder Zheng Hanfei found the answer, lost, I didn't expect that I didn't even find such a small performance.
"This watch." Lin Jingran raised her wrist, glanced at her watch, and said slowly, "It's a gift from Ah Liang, but I didn't expect him to ......."
Before the words were finished, Lin Jingran covered her eyes with her hands and cried, the voice was heartbreaking, as if she had fallen into the fog of sadness, and she couldn't get out of trouble for a long time, which made Nan Ruoxun's eyes a little moist, but Gu Jie stared at each other deadly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Sorry, gaffe." After a long time, Lin Jingran wiped her tears, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" â
"Huh." Gu Jie laughed a few times, "I should say I'm sorry for reminding you of something sad again." â
"It's okay." Lin Jingran shook her head and smiled, but the sadness in her eyes did not diminish at all.
"Well, let me ask you one more question. Do you have a sister or a brother? â
"No, I'm an only child, but I have a cousin in the countryside far away, may I ask, does this have anything to do with this case?"
"Nope. Farewell! After speaking, Gu Jie turned around and walked out of the room, and Nan Ruoxun and Ouyang Xiu followed closely. In the room, only Lin Jingran, who had a gloomy face and didn't know what he was thinking, was left......
"I didn't expect Teacher Lin to cry so heartbroken, are we mistaken, that Li He is the real murderer." On the way back, Nan Ruoxun suddenly said loudly, and the moistness in her eyes showed that she was obviously moved by Lin Jingran's tears.
"Nope! She's definitely the murderer! Gu Jie and Ouyang Xiu denied in unison, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Why do you think Lin Jingran is the murderer?" Ouyang Xiu asked.
"Because of her expression." Gu Jie said, "Her husband is dead, and she should be sad, but her sadness is a little too much. â
"That's what's there, that's the power of love." Nan Ruoxun pursed his lips disdainfully and retorted.
"Really?" Gu Jie raised his eyebrows, and a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Then let me ask you, which is more sad, the death of your lover or the death of your biological parents?" â
"Of course, it's even sadder when my biological parents die." Nan Ruoxun said as a matter of course.
"But Lin Jingran's sadness is more than the death of his biological parents, do you think this is also the power of love? Do you want to say that, Gujie? Ouyang Xiu suddenly said loudly.
"That's right!" Gujie winked at him.
"This ......" Nan Ruoxun was speechless for a moment, racked his brains and thought for a while, but finally couldn't think of a reason to refute this sentence, so he could only snort angrily and no longer pay attention to the two.
"I didn't expect Ouyang Xiu to also psychoanalyze." Gu Jie ignored Nan Ruoxun and asked Ouyang Xiu instead.
"It's just that I've read it before, and it's just a drop in the bucket compared to you."
"Awards, awards." Gu Jie scratched his cheek shyly, "By the way, I can ask you, why do you think Lin Jingran is the murderer?" â
"Huh." Ouyang Xiu smiled mysteriously, "Because, I already have evidence, and there is evidence to prove that she is the murderer." â
"What?!" Nan Ruoxun exclaimed in surprise, "Then have you solved the mystery of the secret room?" â
"Almost. Just check two more things. â
Really! We can't compare to him at all! Gu Jie looked at Ouyang Xiu and thought to himself, he is Xiao Fei's opponent, and we don't have any chance of winning at all.
"I remember, I seem to have given Zheng Hanfei two chances to remind you, and he seems to have only used it once, right?" Suddenly, Ouyang Xiu seemed to remember something and said.
"So what?" Nan Ruo said puffingly.
"Then I'll give you a hint. Don't thank me too much! â
"We don't like that!"
"Don't be discouraged!" Ouyang Xiu said in a straight voice, "You guys are already very good!" It's not your flaw, it's that the murderer is too cunning, so accepting some hints is just to show you the way, and as for the way, you still have to go on your own, how about it? Do you need me to prompt you? There's still half the time to go, so you have to think about it. â
"We accept!"
"What? Why should you take it! Nan Ruoxun accused Gu Jie and said angrily, "You are bowing your head and kneeling!" â
"Kaoru-chan! Ouyang Xiu once said that Gao, this is not a test, but a real homicide, and he changed the test to see Menghan's face, so it is better for us to solve it as soon as possible. â
Nan Ruoxun was silent for a while, and in the end, she compromised, as Gu Jie said, for Qu Menghan's sake, she had to do this, otherwise, the re-established relationship was likely to be broken again.
"I'll just tell you one thing, Lin Jingran's watch strap says 2jr, and the belt buckle has a little trace of pulling." After speaking, Ouyang Xiu quickly left them to verify his so-called matter.
âjrïŒ It's the abbreviation of Mr. Lin's name, right? But what does the previous 2 mean? Represents two people? Or two JR ......," Nan Ruoxun muttered as he lowered his head.
Two JRs? Could it be ...... At this time, Gu Jie thought of a possibility and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xun, did Teacher Lin appear after we found the body?" â
"yes." Nan Ruoxun replied, thinking to herself that this was not a knowingly questioned?
"At that time, Ouyang Xiu, Wan'er and *** went upstairs, right?"
"That's right...... Do you mean? Speaking of this, Nan Ruoxun stared at Gu Jie with two eyes, and said with a look of disbelief, "Impossible, impossible, who would use such a stupid method, the risk is too great!" â
"It's because we're stupid that we didn't come up with it!" Gujie said solemnly, "We have all been deceived! Damn, I've solved this technique before, but I didn't expect to forget it so quickly! â
"In that case, what Ouyang Xiu wants to verify ......"
"That's right, it's proof! We have solved the mystery of the secret room, and we only need evidence to prove that Teacher Lin is the murderer. â
"I think she kind of forgot about that." Nan Ruoxun pinched her chin, "Inspector Zhou Zheng said that the other party committed an unpremeditated crime, and the murderer must have forgotten this when he was nervous, and she should have forgotten this." â
"Yes! Let's go check it out. After speaking, Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxun quickly ran to Zhou Zheng and asked two questions, to which Zhou Zheng was only slightly surprised, and then said the answer they wanted.
After hearing Zhou Zheng's words, the two glanced at each other, and it seemed that the evidence they wanted had appeared, and all that remained was to uncover the mystery.
âŠâŠ
Kindness? Where am I?
Zheng Hanfei slowly opened his eyes, the white ceiling, brown walls and delicate windows immediately made him understand where he was.
"I didn't expect you to take me back to the detective agency." Zheng Hanfei said helplessly.
"What then?" Qu Menghan said, "Do you want to leave you there?" â
"But in that case, will you be in time?" Zheng Hanfei glanced at the time, "I don't know what happened to Ouyang Xiu, Xiaojie and Xiaoxun." â
"Don't worry. Hugh had already told me that he had found the real culprit, and that he had used this murder as a third test to test Xiaojie and Kaoru, and the two of them had found out. â
"That's right." Qu Menghan's words seemed to be a reassuring pill, which made Zheng Hanfei breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, how did you find the murderer before Hugh, I listened to his tone, very decadent, as if admitting defeat." Qu Menghan was very curious about this, after all, it was not easy to let Ouyang Xiu take the initiative to admit defeat.
"It's just luck." Zheng Hanfei said, "If I hadn't experienced it myself once before, I might have been kept in the dark by the murderer like him." â
"Is it because the murderer is too cunning?"
"So to speak. But the main thing is that we think of the secret room too complicated. While speaking, Zheng Hanfei looked out the window and thought to himself, the reasoning show over there should also start!
