Shen Zezhi picked up the wine bottle and looked at it, then he walked out of the bedroom and came to the lounge outside. On the wall facing the window was a small wine rack with rows of valuable liquor. One of the boxes was empty, Shen Zezhi carefully looked at the origin and year of these wines, and then put the empty wine bottles on the space. Shen Zezhi went to the small round table next to the round sofa again. On the table was an empty plate and a tissue box, and there was nothing but these two.

Zhang Zhidong's room has a bathroom in the bedroom, and the things in it are neatly arranged. It's just that there is a set of pajamas on the platform where the clothes are placed, which looks like a men's model. Noriko picked it up and looked at it, then went out to look at the wardrobe in the bedroom. When I opened the closet, there were several sets of pajamas hanging in it, which looked similar to the one in the bathroom. The look style is also very similar. Noriko closed the closet door, and he imagined what had happened on the night of the accident.

Zhang Zhidong was about to take a bath and sleep, he took out a set of pajamas from the wardrobe and put them in the bathroom to prepare for the bath, but at this time he suddenly wanted to eat fruit, and then he went downstairs to find a fruit knife, and after getting the fruit knife back, he peeled off the skin and ate an apple at the table in the small living room outside, and then he felt a little sleepy, so he sat on the round sofa and thought about taking a bath and sleeping after a while. Then he fell asleep, and he didn't know when Zhang Zhiliang would come back after that, and how he would die.

But what's not right? Ji Ziyue turned around, he walked out and looked at Shen Zezhi sitting at the round table, and suddenly realized that it was not that something was wrong, but that everything was wrong.

Shen Zezhi looked at Ji Ziyue's expression and knew that he must have found something, and he asked, "Did you find something?" ”

Nodding his head, he walked over and picked up the empty plate on the small round table and looked at it. He put down his plate and walked over to the bookshelf, pulled out a few books, and flipped through them.

"What did you find?" Shen Zezhi asked.

Kiko is a little unsure: "There is a little suspicion, but I need evidence." ”

Shen Zezhi smiled and nodded: "It's just right, I also found something." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shen Zezhi said in a low voice: "Let's talk about it when we rest at night." He went over and opened the door, and there was the butler standing outside the door.

"Officer Shen, dinner has been prepared in the kitchen, and I will invite you and Officer Ji to dine." Butler Road.

Shen Zezhi thanked: "Thank you." ”

The three of them walked down together, probably when it was time to eat, and there seemed to be more people in the villa. Shen Zezhi asked casually: "There are a lot of people in the villa." ”

The housekeeper said: "Yes, because the gentleman's house is relatively large, there are fewer people and I can't take care of it." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded: "Are these people in charge of Mr. Housekeeper?" By the way, you still don't know your last name? ”

The housekeeper said: "Don't dare to be, don't be surnamed Ma, Marin." I'm in charge of all the people in the villa. ”

When they arrived at the restaurant downstairs, Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue found two pieces of tableware on the table. Shen Zezhi turned his head and asked, "Isn't Mr. Ma going to have dinner with us?" ”

Ma Lin said: "You are a guest, I ......"

Shen Zezhi waved his hand to interrupt him: "I know that you are learning the British housekeeping system. But this is domestic after all, so it's not okay for you to watch me eat. ”

Marin hesitated for a moment, and asked the kitchen man to put another pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table. The dinner was very rich, and it could be seen that the Zhang family had great expectations for the special case team. After all, Zhang Zhidong is Zhang Quan's only remaining son, and the special case team is Zhang Zhidong's last hope to get rid of his crimes.

After dinner, Marin took them to the guest room. The rooms are on the third floor of the villa, on the right side of the stairs. Fukasawa and Kikokotsu's room is facing the door.

Ma Lin said: "There is an inside line in the room, if you need something, you can call them and tell them, and they will send it to you." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded and said, "Thank you." One more thing, I would like to talk to the staff of the villa in the evening, can you arrange that? ”

Ma Lin said: "Of course, but there are a lot of staff, and it will definitely be too late for one night." ”

Shen Zezhi thought for a moment: "I want to talk to the person who is in charge of the security of the villa outside and the kitchen staff." ”

Marin nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

After Shen Zezhi saw this Ma Lin leave, Ji Ziyue entered Shen Zezhi's room with him.

The rooms of the villa are all furnished in the same way and look very similar to the hotel rooms. The rooms that Marin arranged for them were very good, and they were all suites like Zhang Zhidong's.

Ji Ziyue said: "This Ma Lin has been working in the Zhang family for many years, would he do such a thing?" ”

Shen Zezhi: "There is no eternal loyalty, as long as the chips are enough, anything can be betrayed." Maybe Marin used to be loyal, but not anymore. Zhang Zhiliang's death has something to do with him to a greater or lesser extent. The fact that Zhang Zhidong was identified as a murderer so quickly also has a lot to do with his testimony. His words seem to be no problem on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, every sentence reveals that Zhang Zhidong is suspicious. And he also mentioned that Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Zhiliang had a big quarrel in the company a week before the accident. If he was really loyal enough to Zhang Quan, he couldn't have said that. ”

Ji Ziyue said: "If Ma Lin betrayed the Zhang family, then why is he?" ”

Shen Zezhi said with a smile: "Zhang Quan has nothing but money. ”

The two didn't say a few words, and Marin had already brought someone over.

The first person to come in was in the reception room in front of the villa's main door. Because the housekeeper Marin learned the English butler service, all the staff in the villa have different clothes according to the different types of work. The communication room is considered to be on the periphery of the villa, and their clothing is black overalls. The one brought by Marin looked very young.

Shen Zezhi motioned for someone to sit down, and Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue sat opposite him. Ji Ziyue also took out a pen and paper, looking like he was doing business.

"What's your name, and how long have you been working in Mr. Zhang's villa?" Shen Zezhi asked.

The young man sat down with some restraint and said, "My name is Lin Qiang, and I have only been working here for a year. ”

Shen Zezhi saw that he was a little nervous, so he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just chat casually." All you have to do is answer the questions. Because your transcript will be testimony in the future, it must be true, otherwise you will be held legally responsible. ”

Lin Qiang nodded.

Shen Zezhi then asked: "The night of the accident, that is, on the 10th of October. You were on duty that day, right? ”

Lin Qiang nodded: "Yes." ”

Shen Zezhi asked again: "What time did Zhang Zhiliang come back that night?" ”

Lin Qiang shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Shen Zezhi frowned: "You don't know? ”

Lin Qiang explained: "That's right. The door to the villa is locked at 10 p.m., and usually only the side doors next to the gate are open. I wasn't feeling well that day, and I went to bed around eleven o'clock. The eldest young master has a side door key, so I really don't know when he will come back. ”

Shen Zezhi: "How long did you sleep?" ”

Lin Qiang thought about it for a while and said, "It's about three or four hours, when I woke up, I looked at it and said it was 3:50 in the morning." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded, and he asked again: "Isn't there a monitoring device installed at the gate of the villa?" ”

Lin Qiang said: "Oh, this used to be, and on the day of the accident last month, I was just going to replace all the monitoring equipment in the villa with a batch of new ones." So there was no monitoring that day. ”

Shen Zezhi motioned for him to go out.

The second one who came in was Aunt Zhang, who worked in the kitchen, an old man in the villa, who had been working since the villa was built.

"Hello Aunt Zhang, please take a seat!" Shen Zezhi said politely.

Aunt Zhang looked like a very kind person, about fifty years old.

Shen Zezhi said: "We are the police in charge of the case of Zhang Zhiliang and Zhang Zhidong's brothers

, please come here just to find out a little bit about the situation. ”

mentioned Zhang Zhiliang and Zhang Zhidong, Aunt Zhang's eyes turned red. Ma Lin said before that Aunt Zhang almost grew up watching Zhang Zhiliang and Zhang Zhidong's brothers, and she was very emotional.

Shen Zezhi asked: "On the day of the accident, Zhang Zhidong said that he went downstairs at half past nine in the evening to get a fruit knife in the kitchen?" ”

Aunt Zhang nodded: "Yes, the second young master has to eat an apple every night." It's a habit that has been cultivated over the years. Originally, I cut it for him every day and sent it up, but I forgot about it when I was too busy that day, so I went downstairs to get the fruit knife by myself. ”

Ji Ziyue looked up at Shen Ze.

Shen Zezhi asked again: "Is the fruit knife that Zhang Zhidong took the same one you used to peel apples for him?" Who had touched the knife before Zhang Zhidong took the knife? ”

Aunt Zhang thought for a while: "I can't say that I have been using that knife, the kitchenware in the villa will have to be replaced after a while." But I was using that knife all the time. It was a fruit knife, which was usually used to peel fruits. No one wanted to eat fruit that night, so the knife must have never been used. ”
