Chapter VII: The First Suspect (II)
"Leave it to me." As if to guess Zheng Hanfei's thoughts, Ouyang Xiu said, "You just go to find Zheng Hanxue's alibi, and when you come back, I will definitely tell you all the doubts." β
βThankyouγβ Zheng Hanfei nodded, and ran out the next moment, time was pressing, acting separately was the best choice, for Ouyang Xiu's observation, Zheng Hanfei didn't have to worry at all.
"Linghua, what's going on?" As soon as Zheng Hanfei left, Zhou Zheng, Meng Lei and the rest of the members of the Sherlock Detective Agency arrived, and when they saw the corpse lying in a pool of blood, their eyes widened, and when they saw Zheng Hanxue's expression that had nothing to do with themselves, everyone in the Sherlock Detective Agency subconsciously took a step back, thinking about the same thing in their minds: Could this person have been killed by Zheng Hanxue? Meng Lei and Zhou Zheng squinted their eyes, and then Zhou Zheng asked.
"Teacher." Ling Hua glanced at Zheng Hanxue and Ouyang Xiu, who was surveying the scene, and said, "As you can see, the victim Tannis, is dead, according to the first witness, Tannis's coach, he saw Zheng Hanxue appear in Tannis's lounge, so Zheng Hanxue is most likely to kill Tannis, in other words, she is now the first suspect, and ......"
"Alright, let me see." Meng Lei interrupted Ling Hua to continue, put his hands in his pockets, walked leisurely in front of the corpse, stared at the blood on the ground for a while, couldn't help but nodded, and then gave Ouyang Xiu, who was looking for clues, and nodded at the dagger on the corpse's chest, the meaning was self-evident, he wanted Ouyang Xiu to pull out the murder weapon inserted in the corpse for him.
Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in Meng Lei's gourd, Ouyang Xiu knew that the other party would not let him do something meaningless for no reason, so he walked in front of the corpse, slowly squatted down, looked at Ling Hua and Zhou Zheng, and found that the two had no intention of objecting, so he pulled out the dagger, Meng Lei took a closer look at the wound on the corpse, and smiled faintly, although he didn't say anything, but those who knew him knew that he must have found some important clues.
βLiβ¦β¦ Ah, wrong, Zheng Hanxue is definitely not a murderer, look at it. Meng Lei pointed to the wound on the corpse's chest and said, "Although there is only one opening, but if you look closely, you will find that this opening is two openings together, but the distance is very close, so it is mistaken for a wound, and his wrists and neck have traces of being pinched, this is not Zheng Hanxue's style at all, if it is her, it will definitely be a blow......
Zhou Zheng coughed lightly twice, and glanced at Meng Lei, he really convinced Meng Lei, in addition to those who knew the truth, there were unrelated people at the scene, how could Meng Lei tell those things, if he didn't find out in time, I'm afraid that Meng Lei would tell everything. Ling Hua stood in place and smiled bitterly, what Meng Lei said was right, but this could not be evidence to prove that Zheng Hanxue was not the murderer. I'm afraid that people who don't know about the organization will hear this sentence and definitely think that Meng Lei is reasoning blindly.
"Although Mr. Meng Lei's words cannot be used as evidence, they still give us two hints." Ouyang Xiu stood up in front of everyone, took off the bloodstained gloves, and slowly deepened two fingers, "First, the murderer did not kill the deceased with one blow, but stabbed him twice, it stands to reason that when the dagger is inserted into the heart and punctures the heart arteries, because the pressure of the heart is very high, the blood will definitely spurt out, but there are no sprayed bloodstains on the ground at the scene except for a pool of blood, which is the question, why did the murderer wipe off those blood stains, what must be the reason?" Unravel this, and the identity of the murderer can be determined. β
"And what about the second point?" Gujie asked.
"The second point is that the wrists and neck of the corpse have traces of pinching." Ouyang Xiu continued, "But it's not as serious as I imagined, generally speaking, if you want to kill the other party from the front, you will generally use the strength of your whole body to subdue the other party first to prevent the other party from counterattacking, after all, the other party is a tennis star, and the strength must be much more than ordinary **, and then use a dagger to stab the heart, but the reality is not the case, so I made a hypothesis, will the murderer be an acquaintance of the deceased, killing the deceased by surprise, but a blow did not kill him, or has been pierced into the heart, It's just that he didn't die instantly, the murderer pulled out the dagger for psychological reasons or other reasons, stabbed again, and the deceased fell to the ground and died, and then for some reason, the spray of blood was wiped away. β
"Anyone familiar?" Zhou Zheng smiled and nodded, admitting that Ouyang Xiu's assumption was not wrong, then pinched his chin and said, "In this case, the scope is much smaller, Ling Hua, please investigate who has a grudge against Tannis, and at the same time investigate his alibi." β
"Teacher, no need." Ling Hua smiled bitterly and whispered to everyone, "It's a coincidence, the three people behind Zheng Hanxue hate Tannis very much, and none of the three of them have an alibi. β
"Those three?" Ouyang Xiu said with some surprise, "Officer Linghua, are you wrong?" Isn't one of them Tannis's teacher? The first witness to this case, and another one whom I have also seen, is one of the two bodyguards around Tannis, what reason do they have to hate Tannis? β
"I don't know." Ling Hua shook his head, "You and Zheng Hanfei don't believe that Zheng Hanxue is the murderer, I naturally want to investigate whether Tannis has any enemies, and then I found out about them, there is no alibi, as for the others, they are still under detailed investigation." β
"Since it's narrowed down to such a small area, it's much easier to do the rest." Ouyang Xiu said, "Now the three of them unanimously believe that Zheng Hanxue is the murderer, if the police come forward to question, it will definitely arouse their vigilance, and then refuse to ask for various reasons, so it's time for us to appear, Officer Linghua, and other things will be left to you." β
"Understood."
"Remember! Even if we can't ask anything, we have to try to delay time and try to find time for Zheng Hanfei to prove that Zheng Hanxue is not the murderer. Seeing that Ling Hua agreed, Ouyang Xiu asked the Sherlock Detective Agency to form a circle, stood in the circle, and said with a serious face, "A team of two, do you understand?" Okay, you better be careful, don't be asked for anything, I have a feeling that one of these three people is likely to be a member of the organization, pay attention to your own safety. Okay, let's do it. β
As soon as Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he walked out of the crime scene one after another, and went to a relatively quiet place under the leadership of the police, Ling Hua talked to the three behind Zheng Hanxue about something, and after talking for a while, the three followed Ling Hua out of the crime scene, as for Zhou Zheng and Meng Lei, after the two discussed in a low voice, Zhou Zheng stayed at the scene of the crime with Ouyang Xiu, Meng Lei walked out with a small tune, and it is unknown where he went, with Ouyang Xiu's guess, I am afraid that he went to help Zheng Hanfei.
When everyone started to get busy, Zheng Hanfei also came to the place where he and Zheng Hanxue and Tannis argued, recalling Zheng Hanxue's route where Tannis had no way out, Zheng Hanfei easily found the location, so if Zheng Hanfei can't see the eye-catching traces anymore, I'm afraid Zheng Hanfei won't have to be a detective, after checking it himself, Zheng Hanfei was very disappointed, except for knowing that the dagger was pulled out of the wall, he couldn't get any valuable clues at all, not to mention the clues about the real murderer, There is not even a clue to clarify Zheng Hanxue's suspicions.
"Looks like you're upset." Thinking of a very familiar voice in his ears, Zheng Hanfei was slightly stunned, and when he heard the reputation, he saw Meng Lei looking at him with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Zheng Hanfei blinked, "Aren't you watching a tennis match with other people?" β
"There was a murder, how do you think I can watch the tennis game with peace of mind. Again...... I'm not interested in that kind of competition, you know that, right? β
"Of course." Zheng Hanfei said confidently, "If Zhou Zheng likes tennis matches, I definitely don't doubt that a strange person like you will definitely not like it, there is only one answer, you are here to protect ...... Or come to spy on Zheng Hanxue, I'm right. β
"That's right." Meng Lei's mood didn't fluctuate much, he had long known that Zheng Hanfei knew his purpose, he didn't say it just to prevent Zheng Hanfei and Zheng Hanxue from hating him, after all, no one likes to be watched.
"Can you tell me what you're here for?" Saying this, Zheng Hanfei gradually narrowed his eyes.
"Help you." While speaking, Meng Lei pointed in the direction above his head, "As the saying goes, if you care, you are chaotic, your heart is really messed up, if you follow the previous you, you will definitely go to the monitoring room to see if the camera has taken any clues, instead of worrying about why there are no clues of value at all, isn't it?" β
