Chapter 277: Murder
In the middle of the night, Wu Ming was woken up by a burst of laughter.
That's Lilac and Holly.
It is estimated that they should have been here for a long time, their cheeks are covered with redness, and it seems that they have drunk at least one bottle of red wine each, and they are sitting around Grey at this time, while flipping through past albums, while listening to Grey tell the story of a certain male star. I don't know how they got together so much at first sight, but Wu Ming is sure that there must be a lot of credit for this.
Right now, Yaggie was lying on the balcony, holding a wooden basin in her arms, looking unconscious, and you don't have to guess that the wooden basin must be full of vomit. Wu Ming really didn't know how much Yaji was drinking, but based on his usual boasting, it was estimated that he had to drink up a barrel to this extent.
Wu Ming rubbed his head and slowly stood up. As Grey said, this sleep was very relieved, the body was no longer tired, but the spirit had not yet recovered to the best state, and the reaction was still slightly sluggish: "I really slept, I don't know when you came up?" β
"Two hours ago." Lilac didn't even raise her head, she just waved her hand, "You go back to sleep, don't you see that we are busy?" β
"Oh."
Wu Ming retreated in recognition of each other, but he felt in his heart that this time was not quite right. It stands to reason that they also live in the Joy Hotel, even if they need to dress up in order to meet the big stars, an hour should be enough, but listening to them, it seems that they went down from Yaji to look for them, until they came up, it took two hours before and after, so where did the remaining hour go? heiyaΠΏge.
Walking to Yaji's side with the smell of alcohol, he was about to clean up the mess, when the faint red and blue lights outside the window attracted Wu Ming's attention. He pushed open the window and looked down, and in the street market at night, several police cars were speeding around, to see what major crime should have happened.
So Wu Ming figured it out.
Those two guys disappeared before the auction was over, and they must have gone out to find the senator's bad luck. Lilac was better, but with the thief's methods, it was enough to move the hooligan's mansion to the ground, and the expensive collectibles must have changed owners.
But that's just a small punishment, there's no need to worry about it, anyway, the big stars will hit the road as soon as the morning dawns, and the two suspects will also leave this smoky town, and the theft of the senator's house is just a headless public case, and he can't recover the loss for the rest of his life.
Wu Ming forcibly endured the nausea and carried the wooden basin to the bathroom, turned it back, and was about to drag Yaji, who was like a dead dog, to the leisure chair to settle down, but at this moment there was a knock on the door.
"Oops!"
Lilac muttered unconsciously, and made eye contact with Holly, with a sense of guilt in her eyes.
But Holly has long been accustomed to this kind of small test, and she just smiled unexpectedly: "Bodyguard, go open the door!" β
In front of Grey, Wu Ming was inconvenient to resist, so he had to throw Yaji aside first, and he walked forward to open the door with a reluctance in his anger.
The person who knocked on the door was a hotel waiter, followed by five or six police officers, none of whom were armed, and it seemed that they had not yet been able to grasp the substantive evidence, and they should not have come to arrest people.
"Uh...... Several police officers wanted to meet Miss Grey. The waiter spoke, and then cowered and stepped back.
"Invite them in." Without waiting for Wu Ming to ask, Grey had already gotten up to greet her, "We had so much fun this night, the room was a little messy, I hope Mr. Police Officer will bear with me." β
"You're so kind, Miss Grey, that we're disturbing your rest." Nodding their heads, the officers all walked in, glanced around a few times as if they were on an errand, and then gathered in front of the big stars.
"That's right, Miss Grey," said the leading officer, taking off his hat and turning to the big star with an unnatural expression, "we don't mean anything else, it's just a regular inquiry, and you know that when something so big happens, anyone who has been in contact with the mayor has to ask two questions according to the procedure......"
"Something big happened?" While Grey asked in surprise, Wu Ming couldn't help but speak: "Mayor? β
Lilac glared at Wu Ming at this time, and at the same time, there seemed to be some confusion in her eyes.
"It seems that a few of us have been busy with business and have not noticed our news." The officer scratched his head and said, "Just tonight, our mayor of Amaru was assassinated in his home, so we are now under martial law all over the city and are working hard to hunt down the murderer." β
"Oh, I'm really sorry, I didn't hear about it." Grey had a look of regret on her face, "Mayor Amaru has helped me a lot in this charity sale, I should have thanked him in person, but I didn't expect an accident to happen in such a short period of time." Alas...... I hope that you will bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible, so that the soul of that philanthropist can rest in heaven. β
Officer Bi Gong nodded after all: "Yes, we will." β
"If there is anything you need my cooperation with, please feel free to tell me, and I will definitely spare no effort." Grey bit her lip lightly, and her eyes turned a little red.
"Uh...... Actually, it's nothing, we're just asking for a routine question, but your situation here is obvious......" The officer raised his hat and looked like he was about to leave, "Please don't be careful, we don't suspect you, after all, you have to leave the city early in the morning, and your duty is here, so we can only bother you." But now it's no problem, the pass is ready, and you're ...... in this business."
"There are five of us, no problem, right?" Grey didn't even think about it, and directly counted these people into her name. But in Wu Ming's opinion, she is obviously shielding the real criminal.
"Ha, no problem, of course no problem! But the ......" officer took out his permit, and paused as he marked the number of passers-by, as the brothers behind him were secretly glancing at him.
Lilac seemed a little nervous. Wu Ming felt that this was understandable, although she and the female thief were just a wicked person, she was still inexperienced in doing bad things, and she couldn't do nothing. Fortunately, Holly secretly pinched her, and Lilac barely returned to normal.
"But...... But...... Can we have this honor...... Taking a photo with you? The officer finally spoke, and the brothers behind him all breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's ......" Grey looked at several police officers a little helplessly, "Actually, I can't see people with my sloppy appearance now, let alone take photos with people, but a few police officers are working so hard...... Okay, let's take a picture together, but you have to make sure you don't give the image to the media. β
"No, no!"
The officers instantly surrounded each other, pushing each other to grab the best position, and the pain on their faces was swept away, replaced by extremely happy smiles, as if the person who had just been assassinated was just a grass people, not their parents.
After the group photo, the officers left the room happily, and there was a cry of joy in the corridor, as if they had just solved a major criminal case, but in fact, the responsibility of investigating the case fell on Wu Ming, an outsider.
Taking advantage of the short free time when Grey returned to the master bedroom to tidy up her clothes, Wu Ming paced in front of the two suspects, looked at Lilac, and then at Holly, and then said in a mocking tone:
"That's not bad, but you seem to have the wrong person. The most damned thing is actually the senator, if it were me, I would never just get rid of the mayor, but leave the greater scourge behind. β
"Are we really that much like murderers in your mind?!" Lilac immediately glared and shouted, "We just went to that hooligan's house to steal something, why did you put that account on our heads?!" β
"I didn't say it was a bad thing......"
Wu Ming's mind had not yet returned to normal operation, and he was choked by Lilac again, and he was even more confused, and he wanted to continue to pursue the inference just now, but was interrupted by Holly.
"We're too lazy to deal with that kind of bed bug. It's nothing to kill them all, I'm afraid of dirty our hands. But the guy called the Senator did have some good goods in the safe, two famous paintings, plus a dozen necklaces, and now they are all ours. At this point, the female thief was complacent.
Holly shouldn't be talking nonsense, Wu Ming also figured it out in an instant: from the timing of the two of them leaving, to Lilac's performance just now, it was proved that their trick target was only Senator Cajuana, and when it came to assassinating Mayor Amaru, they obviously lacked motives.
It seems that this matter should be the hand of the senator, and the discord between the two major political leaders has been reflected in the auction, perhaps it was used as a fuse to directly trigger a bloody case, linked to their **** background, this possibility will definitely not be small.
"You guys seem to be arguing?"
At this time, the big star who changed into pajamas walked out of the bedroom, with a close-fitting cotton shirt, silk trousers, and a slender **** looming, which immediately triggered the screams of the two star chasers: "Wow, you are in such a good figure!" β
"Thank you, little cuties."
Grey smiled and made a ballet salute, that figure was indeed perfect to the extreme, and even Wu Ming couldn't help but look at it twice.
"We're not arguing, we're just talking about tomorrow's itinerary." Wu Ming said to Grey, "Now it seems that we can only get out of the city under your banner, and I also know that your electric falcon can only fit four people......
"yes." Grey pouted in embarrassment, and turned to the two ladies for advice, "What do you think?" Who should we leave behind? β
"Him!"
The two replied in unison, except that Lilac was referring to Wu Ming, while Holly was referring to Yagi, who was lying on the marble floor like a dead dog. (To be continued.) )
