Chapter 13: The Vanishing Light Source

Maybe it's because of yesterday, after all, two people died in the academy, and there are not many people stranded in the city that never sleeps today, and several entertainment cities around the convenience store have also come to an end, and it's only 1:20 in the morning, and at this time in the past, Mu Tianyu, who was standing at the front desk, could still hear the obvious dynamic melody. He looked at the woman in front of him in amazement, more than a minute after her story. "Wow, this, it's really enlightening, the way you tell it is breathtaking, is this a horror story?" Mu Tianyu looked at her with a smile.

"Whether this is a horror story or not, you know better than I do." Zhou Meng sneered, after thinking about it, the only person who had the time and opportunity to commit the crime was the last person Yu Yan met before her death, and this person was the salesperson of the convenience store in front of her.

Mu Tianyu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I admit it, the story you said is wonderful, and I thank you very much for your kindness, I am so popular, and besides, I'm afraid I am not the perverted murderer you speculated." ”

"Oh, really?" Zhou Meng still insisted on her opinion, she also trusted her skills very much, even if there was a fight, she could subdue the man in front of her. "However, apart from you, I can't think of anyone else suspected of committing the crime at this time."

"What is my motive for committing the crime?" Mu Tianyu is still leaning against the Yantai cabinet.

"Motivation? According to the cause of the victim's death, the murderer is not interested in wealth or lust, like such a psychopathic maniac, his motives are very obvious, Yu Yan is indeed a so-called money worshipper in society, giving up her life for the sake of material. But I don't agree that she deserves such cruel, heinous punishment. Someone sold her soul, she sold her self-esteem, she just sold her body. Zhou Meng faced Mu Tianyu, she glanced at the raised platform next to her, once the other party made any moves, she took the preemptive action, with the help of the platform, jumped up, swept the momentum of thousands of troops, and forced it back into the corner with a side kick, she touched the handcuffs on the back belt with her right hand, and continued: "Since I came in, I have been observing you, you look at people in a very different way, just like a doctor observing a patient, oh, no, like a psychopathic doctor who enjoys appreciating the pain of his patients with great enjoyment. You smile at everyone who greets you, but unfortunately, it's not a smile, I can see it very clearly, your acting skills are too poor, and there is loss and hatred in your reluctant smile. Less than ten minutes after I came in, a couple came in with their daughter in their arms to buy some groceries, and when they left, they made a friendly gesture to you, but your reaction was too obvious, and the disguise was extremely bad. ”

Mu Tianyu fell into deep thought, he stared blankly at the pool of wine on the floor that had not yet dried, the incident mentioned by the other party pierced the weakest defense in his heart, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "That girl named Yu Yan, she did come here in the early hours of yesterday morning, and stayed for nearly half an hour, she pushed the door in with a drunken spirit, almost unable to stabilize her figure, I didn't pour her a cup of hot water, just took a bottle of yogurt for her." ”

Zhou Meng temporarily relaxed the tight strings, her right hand broke away from the handcuffs on her lower back, and she asked, "Then what happened later, in this half an hour." ”

Mu Tianyu smiled and sighed: "So, you want to know what happened that night now, instead of treating me as a suspect again?" ”

"It depends on how things evolve, I've met countless liars, I know the dynamics of their psychology, and when I look into your eyes, I can tell the truth from the false." Now, the only reason that does not make Zhou Meng suspect that Mu Tianyu in front of him is the murderer, and the only reason, is intuition.

"Oh, that's amazing." Mu Tianyu sighed, and couldn't help but recall the long and unforgettable years when he was a psychiatrist, and he was also so confident, but the result made him regret it. Exhaling the excess emotions with his breath, he walked over to the drink bar and grabbed two bottles of juice. "No, you don't." Seeing that the other party had a tendency to pay money, Mu Tianyu said: "Even if I invite you to have a drink, I have to leave you with some good impressions." As he spoke, he took a sip of the lid, stared at the distant mountain shadow outside the door, and recalled: "She has been sitting in the dining area, as if she has something on her mind, I admit, her eyes on me are indeed a little ambiguous, but not enough to lose a person's mind, I just think that the consciousness of her brain is a little drowsy, and the drunkenness has not yet subsided." Later, she went to the front desk and asked about inconsequential things, such as where I was from and why I came to work here. Then she got a phone call and told me to leave the place, saying her roommate was coming to pick her up. Before leaving, she told me my name. Mu Tianyu looked at Zhou Meng, who was silent, and she just put the juice aside at the front desk. That's probably how it happened, but I have a suspicion that your suspicions may be justified, but I think you must have a good reason why you're so determined. I wonder, what is this reason? ”

"Why?" Zhou Meng replied, but secretly exclaimed in his heart, his thinking is meticulous, rigorous, and logical, this is not what a convenience store salesman should have, it is really more and more worthy of my doubt. "You guessed right, there is indeed a reason." Zhou Meng moved the juice bottle inward for some distance. "I've seen you."

Mu Tianyu's eyes were stunned, and he asked with some surprise, "Oh? Is it like that? ”

"No, I've seen you at the scene of the crime." Zhou Meng looked directly into Mu Tianyu's eyes. "In the early morning of the day of the crime, the murder site of the female deceased Yu Yan, although I have only seen your back, but this will not be wrong, I have observed you for nearly an hour, and that is your figure. A convenience store salesperson disguised as a plainclothes police detective and broke into the scene of the crime within the cordon, if it weren't for the thief's weak heart and worried about what clues would be left, I really can't guess that there are other possibilities. ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are the Zhou team, no wonder we met from time to time, I thought no one knew about it. Unfortunately, if I were really the murderer, I would not have left any traces, let alone returned to the scene of the murder, after your police appeared. ”

"Really? So it's seamless. Zhou Meng glanced out at the passing vehicles, and at the same time was wary of Mu Tianyu's movements, but the other party was still holding the drink bottle leisurely, not caring.

"I've been to the scene of the crime, but I've only investigated some clues, after all, I also guessed that the deceased might be her."

"What did you investigate?"

"It's nothing special, it's just ......" Zhou Meng felt that the other party was deliberately pausing and pretending to be mysterious. But Mu Tianyu shook his head and sighed: "It's just that there is one thing missing from the place where the crime occurred." ”

"Something?" Zhou Meng recalled the scene of the crime and the later clue report, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, the only thing that came to mind was the eyes of the deceased Yu Yan, and her eyeballs were not found at the scene of the murder. "You mean the ...... of the dead"

"No, it's not, there's one item missing from the crime site, a flashlight, which I gave to her before the woman left." Mu Tianyu put the bottle in his hand on the front desk and leaned next to another drink bottle. "I knew she was going up the mountain at such a late hour, and I couldn't help with anything but a flashlight." Mu Tianyu said, glancing towards the right side of the counter.

Zhou Meng noticed the flashlight hanging on the wall. "Flashlight?" Zhou Meng speculated, if it was taken by the murderer, then what did it mean? The place of death of another deceased, Yang Huanqiang, was in a ditch on the inside of the road, but there was so much light around it that it was not needed at all.

Mu Tianyu saw that the other party was pondering this question, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If you think that it was taken away by the murderer, I don't think it is very likely, perhaps, it was left somewhere." ”

"Impossible, we have carefully investigated the surroundings of the murder scene, and we have not found any clues, and it is difficult to ignore an object as big as a flashlight." Zhou Meng's brain fell into the thinking of analyzing the case, and she said very seriously.

"Maybe the crime happened somewhere at all." Mu Tianyu walked from the counter to the corner of the front hall, and he analyzed: "This seems to be the only reasonable explanation. ”

"You used to be a police officer?" Zhou Meng felt that what the other party said was not unreasonable, if it was really as he said, the deceased's flashlight was the key to the clue, then the real location of the crime was questionable. "You know what? I still doubt you, only your motive and the time of the murder match at the moment, you already know that someone will come to answer Yuyan, so after you killed her, you began to plan the next massacre. From the female deceased's mobile phone, although we only extracted her fingerprints, it also proved one point, the murderer used the female deceased's mobile phone to take pictures of Yang Huanqiang just to hide people's eyes, so it was mysterious, just like you before. ”

"Wait, you mean, Yu Yan has a photo of Yang Huanqiang on her phone before the crime? Photos of the night? Mu Tianyu thought of something, and he stared at Zhou Meng intently.

"Yes, just a few minutes before Yang Huanqiang's death, the murderer lurked in the jungle, took a photo of him with Yu Yan's mobile phone, and sent it to him." When Zhou Meng said this, he snorted coldly: "Oh my God, why should I tell you so much, you are now a suspected murderer." ”

"How did she unlock her phone? Unless it's someone she knows, or maybe it'......" Mu Tianyu was silent in the middle of the question, and he said silently in his heart, perhaps, it was herself, if Yu Yan was not dead at that time, but just, possessed by a ghost, then everything would be reasonable.

"Maybe what?" Zhou Meng looked at Mu Tianyu puzzled, and the other party stopped talking, raising his curiosity.

"No, nothing." Mu Tianyu came back to his senses, and he packed up the two bottles of drinks at the front desk. "I'm not a murderer, if you think I'm suspicious and want to arrest me, then please show me the warrant first. If you want me to go to the police station to assist you in your investigation, then please also show the relevant documents, I am still at work, sorry. ”

Mu Tianyu began to dot the goods up and down again, Zhou Meng thought that the other party was unwilling to talk about this matter anymore, and she was also puzzled about the problem of unlocking her mobile phone, could it be that the murderer knew Yu Yan, and she also knew the unlock password of her mobile phone. Looking at the watch, the time happened to stop at 1:50 in the morning, and at this time, the door of the convenience store was pushed open, and two customers came in, looking at the dress, it should be the staff of the entertainment city next to it. Wearing a pager on his shoulders, a red shirt, a black vest, and a smooth and fluffy hairstyle, he looks like a waiter in front of the bar. She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Mu Tianyu, who was still working, and turned around and left the convenience store.

At two o'clock in the morning, as the two customers left the door of the convenience store, Mu Tianyu looked at the familiar back in a white shirt and was gradually heading towards Tiandu Peak. "Hey......" Mu Tianyu sighed helplessly, he opened the closed drawer, and his eyes wandered on the key to the door of the convenience store.
