I looked at the person in front of me and said confidently: "So, in the past seven years, you haven't seen Mr. Tang go out at all, right?" "The person in front of me is an old man who has lived in this apartment for the longest time, no matter what, as long as it is about this apartment, it must be wrong to ask him.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the Tang family is the weirdest resident in the whole building, only the girl named Tang Lingli goes in and out, and she has never seen her father go out at all, and even the usual supplies are bought by Tang Lingli and brought home." ”

I smiled confidently and put away the recorder: "Okay, thank you, old woman, then let's go." ”

Seeing that the old man closed the door, I turned my head to Zhang Chao and said, "Sure enough, it is basically consistent with my previous guess." ”

Zhang Chao looked at me with some doubts: "What's the use of you asking this just now?" If Mr. Tang has any disease, it is normal that he can't go out, what does this mean? ”

I shook my head: "No, it's a big deal, an old man, no matter what illness he has, can't go out for seven years, and even if he doesn't go out, it can't be that any neighbor hasn't seen him, right?" Even if we don't tell that old man today, the old man doesn't know that she has a father in her family! ”

Zhang Chao was a little relieved, his eyes lit up and said: "So, is it really as you said, there is no such thing as Mr. Tang in the world?" If there is really no Mr. Tang, then who is the body that our serious crime team took away that day? ”

I stretched out a finger, shook it in front of Zhang Chao and said, "No, there is indeed this person, but seven years ago, he was already dead, in the fire of Shao Jianxiong's factory. As for the corpse taken away by your serious crime team, in fact, it is better to explain, in the past seven years, even the neighbors don't know Mr. Tang, how can you be sure that your serious crime team took away Mr. Tang? ”

"What?" Zhang Chao almost screamed, he looked at me in a daze, and said, "Luo Xi, there are some things that can't be said nonsense, are you sure?" If that's the case, who is the female ghost you see? ”

I looked at the staircase and shook my head: "This is just my guess, my guess is that the person who was burned to death was not Li Xianglian at all, but Tang Lingli's father, that is, Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang was probably forcibly burned to death by others, that is to say, the case back then was a murder at all." ”

Zhang Chao said with some uncertainty: "But, Luo Xi, if this is really the case, then who is the person who murdered Mr. Tang?" What is the purpose? And where did Li Xianglian go? Why did Tang Lingli lie again and again? Oops, anyway, there are so many doubts in my head. ”

I nodded and took the lead downstairs: "Let's go, I'll explain to you on the way, we are running out of time." ”

Zhang Chao hurriedly followed: "Where are we going?" ”

I looked at the dark sky outside, and said slowly, "The scene of the fire." ”

At this time, Zhang Chao didn't ask any more, but walked downstairs with me. Factories in Hong Kong are generally in the more remote suburbs, even if it is fast, it will take nearly an hour to get there, and it is already nine o'clock in the evening, and I am afraid that there is not much time left for us.

Hong Kong's taxis are generally busy, Zhang Chao didn't care about 3721, directly stopped a private car, took out his police ID and said to the driver: "I'm sorry, master, we are police, I want to requisition your car now, I hope you can cooperate, please go to the West Kowloon Crime Unit tomorrow to get the car." ”

As soon as the people in Hong Kong heard that the people of the serious crime team were going to requisition their cars, the driver sighed, did not say much, took Zhang Chao's police card and looked at it carefully, and then unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Zhang Chao sat directly in the driver's seat, looked at me who was still dumbfounded, and almost shouted: "Luo Xi, what are you doing!" Hurry up and get in the car, we're running out of time! ”

"Oh, good!" I pulled out the passenger door and sat in, and then I was moved, "The Hong Kong police and people are really cooperative, aren't they afraid of meeting liars?" ”

Zhang Chao stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car rushed out like an arrow from the string: "There are all kinds of liars in Hong Kong, but no one dares to pretend to be a policeman, don't talk nonsense, at our speed, it will take about an hour to rush to the scene of the fire seven years ago, take advantage of this time, you and I will explain everything clearly." ”

I fastened my seatbelt, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll talk to you slowly." The first thing to talk about is the first time Tang Lingli lied, at that time, I didn't actually doubt her, but when I went to her house for the second time, she still kept lying, so I began to doubt her, but this time, she still lied, and when I found out that she lied for the third time, I went to look for her, but she was already dead. I think about it, a weak woman, with no criminal record and no bad record, what makes her dare to lie in front of the police again and again? So, I thought of a possible surname, someone was behind her back to tell a lie, so who could make her so protective? The answer is obviously her father, which explains why Tang Lingli always has a trace of sadness, in fact, what she is sad about is not her father's death, but her own lies. ”

Zhang Chao drove the car, stared intently ahead, and said, "Didn't you say that Mr. Tang was murdered seven years ago?" Could it be that it was Mr. Tang's ghost who communicated with Tang Lingli, if this is really the case, then who would it be that was not Mr. Tang who testified in court seven years ago? ”

At this time, it was already raining lightly outside the window, I watched Zhang Chao turn on the windshield wipers of the car, nodded and said: "That's right, the person who communicated with Tang Lingli is likely to be Mr. Tang's ghost, and his purpose is to take revenge and avenge himself, in fact, what you said is basically to the point, if you want to explain your problem, you must first understand two things, first, where did the body of Mr. Tang come from, and second, what kind of person is willing to help Tang Lingli." In fact, this question also bothered me for a long time, and it was not until the evening that I combed through everyone's testimony that I remembered a person. ”

Zhang Chao frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "Zheng Angong? ”

I sighed slightly and said: "Yes, Zheng Angong, this person, we have always ignored him, because he is too inconspicuous, but in the same way, he is the best candidate to help Tang Lingli, Tang Lingli and Mr. Tang, no, to be exact, one person and one ghost, their arrangement, without the help of Zheng Angong, can not be realized at all, and the reason why I suspect Zheng Angong is also very simple, Li Xianglian's ghost, I have also seen it twice, although on the surface, they are all fierce and vicious, But except for talking to me, she didn't have any further actions, from this point of view, Li Xianglian had no intention of killing people at all, judging from Zheng Angong's description, Li Xianglian seemed to want to kill him, if a ghost really wanted to kill someone, Zheng Angong couldn't survive at all, and that day, when we went to interrogate Zheng Angong, although he looked very frightened on the surface, he was still guarding the hospital morgue, let me ask, if you were chased by a ghost in your place of work, would you still stay there? ”

Zhang Chao shook his head and said firmly: "No, on the one hand, it's just a job, but on the other hand, it's my own surname, I definitely won't stay there anymore, you can find it again if the job is gone, but if your life is gone, then there is really nothing." ”

I lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then exhaled the smoke before continuing: "Yes, so, the reason why Zheng Angong is still there is because he, like Tang Lingli, also lied. In fact, in terms of his work, it is not too difficult to help Tang Lingli get a corpse, and the disappearance of Mr. Tang's body should also be done by him, the purpose is not to scare us, or make it difficult to solve the case, but just put the body back in the original freezer, only in this way, the hospital will not find out that there is a body missing, in this way, it is also very easy to explain why Tang Lingli was so anxious to take the body away from the serious crime team, after taking the body, Tang Lingli kept delaying the time to go to the hospital to get the body, When the limelight passes, everyone forgets about it, and the matter of one less corpse in the natural hospital will be over. If Zheng Angong helped Tang Lingli so much, the person who testified in court seven years ago would be very easy to explain, it should be Zheng Angong, Zheng Angong was 41 years old back then, and it is not difficult to pretend to be a person in his 50s, at most everyone says that he is well maintained. ”

Zhang Chao still drove the car fast, it was already nine forty o'clock in the evening, and I could see the anxiety in his heart, but this anxiety did not wash away his reason, he nodded and said: "If according to what you say, it was not Li Xianglian who died back then, but Mr. Tang, then who killed Mr. Tang?" What is the purpose? Also, How did Li Xianglian die? Moreover, it stands to reason that no matter how stupid a corpse is a man or a woman, it is impossible for the police to tell the difference? ”

I took out the case file of the fire from the big pocket of my windbreaker, and said with a smile: "Everything is inside, what happened was a fire back then, and when the body was carried out, it was already unrecognizable, and Li Xianglian happened to be a custodian in that warehouse at that time, everyone will naturally think that the body is Li Xianglian, plus, if her relatives also prove that this is Li Xianglian, then even if the police are deceived, it is normal." But Li Xianglian is obviously not dead, and her relatives still want to recognize Mr. Tang's body as Li Xianglian's, why is this? Because they are the murderers, and their purpose is very simple, that is, to cheat money and defraud Shao Jianxiong's family. I guess they want to cheat the money and leave Hong Kong, so that Li Xianglian can change her face and continue to live, but then, a few 'witnesses' were suddenly killed, and their plans were completely disrupted, because the court ruled that Li Xianglian made a mistake, so the money compensated by the Shao family is much less than they expected, in this case, Li Xianglian will have no money to go to the mainland, and she can't appear in the eyes of others, otherwise, her relatives' plans will be completely made public, so ......"

Zhang Chao shuddered violently: "So, her relatives killed her again?" But after all, it's a relative, how can you do it? ”

I smiled coldly, looked out the window and said: "In today's society, ghosts are not the most terrifying, the most terrible thing is people, people can't do anything for money, selling children and daughters, killing fathers and mothers." Li Xianglian and them are just relatives, even if they are killed, it is not surprising. ”

When I said this, Zhang Chao opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while, except for the sound of raindrops hitting the window, and there was silence in the carriage. (To be continued.) )
