Chapter 387, the abnormal behavior of the bar owner
The cunning ghost didn't show up all night, but I was sure it must have been hiding in the shadows of darkness, like a patient hunter.
This kind of ghost is the most headache, after all, it's easy to dodge with open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows.
During the day, after being safe for the time being, I still advised Tao Li to go to the clinic first to avoid the limelight, and it was better for everyone to be together than for him to hide at home now, and we had to be distracted to protect him.
It's just that this guy is like eating a scale, and he refuses to leave the house. This makes me a little strange, the ghost doesn't want his money, and he won't set fire to his house, it feels like there is a treasure in the house, forcing him not to leave.
I persuaded the black egg for a long time, and after this thing said that he refused to leave, we discussed it, and we continued to investigate during the day, and at night, we continued to come here to squat, and compared patience with this ghost.
After Tao left the house to freshen up, Hei Dan and I went downstairs to buy a bowl of instant noodles and drank a can of coffee, and then under Li Dashan's arrangement, we rushed to meet the bar owner who had an accident last night.
The owner of this bar is called Zhang Mingqun, a Taiwanese, who came to Shanghai because of his work in the early years, but he didn't expect to meet his current wife in Shanghai, get married and have children, and finally settled in Shanghai and didn't leave.
Now in his early 40s, he is a senior manager of a large foreign-funded company in Shanghai, and he opened this bar in private, not to make a lot of money, but to get together with friends at night, meet some young people, drink and enjoy life.
However, when the first body was found in the bar, he originally wanted to close the bar directly, but because of Tao Li's insistence and Tao Li's statement, there are ghosts in this bar now, and he can provide ghost exorcism services, so because of this, Zhang Mingqun will let the bar open for a while longer.
Unexpectedly, bad luck was repeated, and this time something happened again!
When I met Zhang Mingqun, my first impression was that this was a man who was very cultured and had a privileged life. He was dressed exquisitely, even though his face was ugly, and he could see that he was not sleeping well, and he was worried. However, his clothes were still neat, his cuffs, his coat, were meticulously burned, and even he wore a small brooch on his chest, and he was sprayed with cologne-scented perfume.
"Hello, young police officer, I'm Zhang Mingqun, did you come to me to learn about the case that happened in the bar? In that case, I really have nothing to say, because I wasn't at the bar that day, and the waiters at the bar were leaving work early. ”
It can be seen that Zhang Mingqun has been very disgusted by the successive police interrogations, such a man with a privileged life, who has a car and a house in Shanghai, runs a bar, and is the management of a large company, should have lived a very successful life, but now he has been troubled by two consecutive murders.
"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be nervous, we are not here to interrogate you, we are just here to understand the situation. Let's talk casually, if you don't mind, can I come into your house and sit down? ”
Obviously, Zhang Mingqun didn't want us to enter his house, so he kept talking to me at the door, and when he heard my request to enter his house, it was a little unnatural.
"Well, it may not be convenient at home, so if you want to talk about it, you can go outside."
Zhang Mingqun didn't let us into his house, which made me suddenly have doubts in my heart, there must be something boring, I decided to go in and have a look no matter what!
"Mr. Zhang doesn't need to be nervous, it's still at your house, is there something that is not to be seen?"
The tone of my speech was deliberately aggravated, Zhang Mingqun's face sank, and finally he nodded, opened the door completely, and let us in.
Zhang Mingqun's home is a two-story villa with white exterior walls, red bricks, a small garage next to it, and a small garden behind the house.
After entering the villa, Zhang Mingqun was the only one living in the whole house, his wife and son were not there, and it seemed that he had not been there for a while, because, at a glance, I did not find any traces of a second person living in this house.
After I sat down with Heidan, Zhang Mingqun helped us pour coffee, and I looked around, and through the glass window, I saw that the garden outside was a little messy, the lawn had not been mowed, and several pots of flowers and plants had died, obviously not taken care of.
Zhang Mingqun is a delicate-looking man, even if he is the only one in the family, he should be able to take care of plants such as flowers and plants, but why is this garden very unpresentable now?
And, that's not all, I also noticed the bar counter behind the sofa, generally speaking, people like Zhang Mingqun make a small bar at home, not to drink, but to show their wine collection, many people like Zhang Mingqun with some status, like to put two bottles of good wine at home, and when the guests come, they can show off. However, now the wine on Zhang Mingqun's bar is almost empty, and he has obviously drunk it all!
Having observed these things, I knew that this man probably had something to hide!
At this time, Zhang Mingqun walked back, put down his coffee, sat on the sofa opposite me and Heidan, and smiled unnaturally at the two of us, we didn't speak, the atmosphere was very cold, and the man still glanced upstairs from time to time, as if he was worried about something.
"Mr. Zhang, what about your wife and children? Why don't you seem to be at home? ”
I asked with a smile.
"Ah, my wife and children have returned to Taiwan, and they want to go back to my hometown to see, and I am busy with work and I am not with them."
Zhang Mingqun gave a reasonably reasonable explanation, and I continued to ask quietly, "Mr. Zhang likes to drink?" ”
As soon as I asked, Zhang Mingqun immediately felt a little nervous, but he still nodded and said, "I drink some occasionally, but I don't drink too much." Mr. Constable, is there anything else you would like to ask? Please hurry up and ask, I'll go to the company for a meeting later. ”
Zhang Mingqun gave an eviction order to the two of us, I smiled, put down the coffee cup in my hand, and slowly walked towards the stairs, saying as I went, "You don't mind if we visit your house, right?" ”
Zhang Mingqun was taken aback and ran over, trying to block my way, but was deliberately lightly bumped by the black egg, and he suddenly fell to the ground, and then I rushed to the second floor with my hands behind my back, three steps and two steps, one to the second floor, I immediately felt a trace of coldness, as if the temperature had dropped a few points.
On the second floor there are three rooms in total, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. I opened the bedroom closest to me, this should be Zhang Mingqun's bedroom, I walked out and immediately opened the door of the second bedroom, this time, the layout inside suddenly surprised me! Because, as soon as I entered the room, I saw a photograph on the table in the room, a portrait of a man!
This is a middle-aged man, who looks a little similar to Zhang Mingqun, and should be a little older than Zhang Mingqun, I immediately walked into the room, turned on the light, and saw not only the portrait, but also the desk and some incense burners and other ornaments!
At this time, Zhang Mingqun rushed up and blocked in front of me, Zhang Mingqun, who no longer had any grace to speak of, said loudly: "You didn't have a search warrant, you trespassed into my room, I want to go to the police force to complain about you!" Get out, get out of here for me! ”
Zhang Mingqun's excitement surprised me, even if there are relatives at home, what about it? Why was he so nervous when we saw this statue!
"To tell you the truth, I'm not a member of the criminal police brigade, just their advisor. Now seeing this posthumous image, I have reason to suspect that the two murders in the bar are likely to be directly related to you, if you don't cooperate with our investigation, I will directly write your situation into the report, and then I will not chat with you at your house, but invite you to the criminal police brigade for tea! ”
I have encountered too many such situations, in the face of people like Zhang Mingqun, I have a way to deal with it, two sentences and a scolding, this thing immediately trembled, startled.
"No, no, I can't go to the police station, otherwise the company will find out about it, and I will probably be forcibly fired."
Zhang Mingqun panicked at this time, took my hand, and said pleadingly.
"Then tell me everything that happened to your family! To tell the truth, now there is a vicious and very cunning ghost out there who is harming people, and the two of us are special police officers of the criminal police brigade, and if you don't cooperate, it is likely that someone will be killed! Now, answer me, what about your wife and children? And what's going on in your house! ”
When I asked, Zhang Mingqun lowered his head, sighed, and raised his head again after a while.
"My wife fled with her son and fled back to Taiwan, and I arranged for them to go. I can't stay in this house anymore, if it weren't for the fact that I work in the company here, I would have left here, eh, I really didn't expect it, I opened a bar, opened such a thing, and no one would believe it! ”
Zhang Mingqun sat on the ground and patted his head with his hand.
"Some time ago, I always had a regular customer at my bar, who was a drinking friend who loved to drink and chat, and the wine was not bad, and it was very speculative to chat with me. So I brought him to our house, and we became friends. Because he looked a little like me, and I joked that he might be my long-lost brother, and later I found out that this guy wasn't human at all, I mean, he wasn't a human at all, but a ghost, a horrible ghost! ”
