Chapter 251: Assisting in the Investigation
When we returned, the soul-attracting lamp was about to go out, and we didn't dare to delay, and immediately entered the body. I dare not forget what the impermanence ghost told me, it said, this matter must not be publicized, otherwise it will be damned, and even they will be unlucky.
It's going to be dawn soon, and we can't do anything more at this time, so we'll have to wait for someone to come and discuss the next step when the time comes. I slept for a while, and it wasn't long before someone came to ask us.
It's the middle-aged man from last night again, it seems that he should have spoken more weightily in Taiping Town, and there are a few young and strong young men with him, probably afraid that we will resist and abscond!
When the middle-aged man came in, his face was very ugly, and he asked us, "Say, where is the necklace hidden?"
I was surprised: "What necklace?"
"Pretend! You killed Mrs. Ma and stole her necklace, if you don't tell us the truth, don't blame us for lynching! ”
I hurriedly explained to them: "Big brother, I think you must have misunderstood, there must be something hidden here!"
"Misunderstanding? You killed someone, do you want to excuse yourself for a misunderstanding! It is not difficult for me to give you a day, and if you don't give an account, I will cut off your food. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he walked away, leaving only our group of people staring at each other.
Ji Xueyan sighed: "What is this, what kind of person!"
"But no, why didn't they call the police if something happened like this!" Wang Yue echoed.
I asked Song Yan, "What do you think about this?"
Song Yan touched his chin, thought about it and said to me: "According to my experience in handling cases over the years, this is likely to be a premeditated murder, and the murderer has obviously been planning for a long time.
There is some truth in what Song Yan said in these words, but if you think about it carefully, it really looks like this. This can't be blamed, whoever let us catch up can only consider himself unlucky. But this is a murder charge, I can't afford it, no, I have to investigate this matter clearly, and we can only leave if we find the murderer.
"You say it won't be like this, in fact, the necklace was stolen by the person just now, otherwise why didn't he let the police call it, and wanted to lynch us, obviously trying to deceive everyone. When they have made a few of us torturers no one and no ghost, and then let us go, this matter will be solved, and no one will suspect him at all. The stone has its own point of view.
I thought for a moment and said to him: "Before the investigation is clear, anyone can be the murderer, I think it's better not to guess, let's think a way together, now one of us must go out to investigate, it is possible to find the murderer, otherwise it will only be a dead end if we continue to wait."
"Find a way I'm best at it, let me think about it......" The stone sat on the ground, one hand on his head, a straw in his mouth, and fell into deep thought.
I shook my head and lay flat on the ground, wondering what I was going to do to get out.
After a while, the stone suddenly roared: "There is, there is a way!" There are seven of us, so wouldn't it be better to consult with them and send two of them out to assist in the investigation, while the other five wait here, so that the murderers can be investigated and the prisoners don't have to starve. ”
"I think this will work, but which two people are going to go?" Ji Xueyan rarely recognized the stone's point of view.
Shi patted his chest complacently and said to her: "Who else can go, of course it is me and Brother Tian, and only the two of us can settle it!"
I slapped him on the head: "You kid is very energetic, you haven't slept all night and are so jubilant!"
But after thinking about it, his method may work, and in order to get out as soon as possible, I decided to use this method. As for why they didn't let Song Yan go, because I think they are the most suspicious, I don't know if the stone thinks like this, anyway, I began to be a little suspicious of them.
Time is pressing, and although I'm sleepy right now, I have to investigate this murder myself in order to get out of here as soon as possible! I kicked the door hard and yelled in the room, and in a few moments someone came to open the door. I told the visitor, "Go and call the person in charge, I have a way to solve the case."
After a while, the middle-aged man came back, he looked at a few of us, paused for a moment, and asked us, "Have you figured it out, where is the necklace?"
"I'm sorry, the necklace really isn't with us, but we thought of a way to get it back." I shrugged my shoulders noncommittally and said to him.
"What's the solution, let's hear it." The middle-aged man seemed to be interested, but I saw a hint of greed in his eyes. I finally understood why he didn't let the police, it turned out to be the idea of the necklace! Mixed in the drunken society, accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, when I saw his gaze, I was already sure that he was not a murderer, and the necklace was naturally not in his hand.
I said to him, "There are seven of us, you detain five, and I will go out with another companion to investigate, give us three days, and we will definitely solve the case."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "This method is fine, but what if you run away?"
The stone squeezed in front of me, snorted coldly, and said to him: "What are you talking about, we are that kind of people, besides, there are five people locked up here, what are you worried about!" That said, take care of my friends, and get us something delicious to eat, so that we can do things when we are full. ”
"Okay then, you wait a while, I'll find someone to bring you food." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he closed the door and left.
After a while, the food was delivered, although it was coarse tea and light rice, it was able to fill the stomach. After a hurried meal, I asked the middle-aged man to take us to the scene of the crime. The middle-aged man's name is Lu Chuan, in his early forties, and he is the mayor of Taiping Town who has just taken office, and he is fully responsible for this case.
We carefully checked the scene and found no abnormalities, and finally I found a pile of animal hair on Mrs. Ma's bed, I took it in my hand and looked at it, and my eyes widened instantly. This is the hair on the weasel's body, I will not be mistaken, and there is a peculiar smell of the weasel on it.
