"Ten years ago, Chang Qing did follow Lieberthal everywhere to shoot and film, about this, I heard friends in the circle mention it, but the movie was only halfway through the filming, and it ran aground because of the investor. This is the past that Chang Qing is reluctant to mention, after all, he was still an inconspicuous assistant director at that time, and he was called by Lieberthal, and the movie was busy in vain at the end. From this point of view, Chang Qing really can't be the clown murderer ten years ago. Tan Jiansheng's reminder of Ran Sinian also evoked some memories.

Ai Qin muttered in a low voice: "I said a long time ago, Chang Qing can't be the murderer." However, you were just flipping through the books on the shelves yesterday, and you were able to really remember that interview, which is indeed a bit capable. ”

"Regarding Chang Qing's alibi ten years ago, I will let Deng Lei confirm it again, but now, it is almost certain that Chang Qing is not the murderer of the year, and the prototype of his story and many details are likely to be obtained from the murderer, because the possibility of our police insiders leaking all the details of the case is extremely low," Qu Zichong was anxious to let Ran Sinian continue, "Si Nian, let's get to the point." ”

"The point is my third dream, the third dream, I am still in the evergreen study, although the location is still the same as the second dream, but I still have to treat it as a third dream, because in this dream, I shrunk and became a little person the size of the vase fragment I broken, and the scene around me was enlarged a hundred times, so that I could see more clearly. And the reason why my dream wants to shrink me into a little 'Ant-Man' is precisely because there are some important clues that I can only detect when I shrink. Shrunken down, I found scraps of paper torn into a dozen copies in the fragments of the vase, and read the words on it. In my dream, I tried to put the pieces back together and played a jigsaw puzzle, which really allowed me to see the words on the piece of paper, which was no more than five centimeters square. ”

The maid has been standing at the door of the restaurant, a few meters behind Ai Qin, she is ostensibly wiping the doorpost of the restaurant with a rag, but in fact, her rag has been wiping a part at all, she has been listening curiously to the conversation of several people in the living room, and her curiosity and interest in this god-like character of Ran Sinian are high. Hearing Ran Sinian talk about the scraps of paper in the vase fragments, the maid interjected without thinking about it: "That's right, when I was cleaning the study yesterday, when I used a broom to clean the fragments of the vase, I did find some white scraps of paper in the porcelain fragments, which looked to have been torn. However, I remember that it was just a blank sheet of paper without words. ”

The servant's words made everyone turn their heads to look at her, causing her to cover her mouth in embarrassment.

Ran Sinian seemed to be very satisfied with the servant's observation, and explained with a smile: "That's right, because the confetti is very small, so ordinary people do seem to be a blank paper without words, so in the dream, my subconscious mind needs me to shrink myself to observe those confetti up close." In fact, it is not that there are no words on the paper, but that the handwriting has become very faint. That's right, that small piece of paper 5 cm square is actually thermal paper, a receipt from the store. ”

"Thermal paper?" The maid scratched her head, this uneducated maid in her forties didn't know what thermal paper was.

Ai Qin reacted immediately, and asked eagerly with a red face: "Could it be that Chang Qing bought something that I can't let me know, so he has to tear up the receipt and throw it into a vase?" ”

Bai Yifeng replied first: "No, even if that's the case, Chang Qing can obviously throw the receipt outside the house, why bring it back." If he was negligent and found that the receipt was still on him, he should have destroyed it completely, burned it, or taken it outside and threw it away. ”

Ran Sinian explained: "That's right, Chang Qing was indeed negligent, he found out in the study that he forgot to lose the receipt, but he didn't worry too much, first, because the study was his private territory, Ai Qin basically wouldn't come in because he hated the smell of smoke; Second, the vase looked very valuable, it should be a valuable object, no one would think that he would use the vase as a trash can and throw something into it, and the servant who usually wipes the vase would not take the vase upside down and let the contents fall out; Third, even if the maid took the vase upside down and the confetti inside fell out, Chang Qing was sure that by that time the words on the thermal receipt had disappeared or were blurred, or even if the handwriting was still there, the maid would not be able to understand what was written on it. ”

"What the hell is a receipt?" Tan Jiansheng finally became a little interested, and asked lightly.

"The receipt for the pinhole camera," Ran Sinian gave the answer, and then asked Qu Zichong again, "Team Qu, I remember you told me yesterday that your police have thoroughly inspected this villa and recovered a total of 15 cameras, right?" ”

"Yes," Qu Zichong said generously in front of Ai Qin, "not only did we recover 15 cameras, but we also found all the surveillance videos of this villa in Changqing's computer and mobile hard drive, and found that Changqing himself was the one who originally installed and debugged the monitoring equipment, and his own face also appeared in the surveillance video at close range." ”

Ran Sinian nodded, and the conversation changed, "Your police recovered 15 cameras, but the thermal receipt showed that Chang Qing bought 20 pinhole cameras. ”

"What?" Qu Zichong, Ai Qin, and Bai Yifeng asked out in surprise.

"That's right, that is to say, there are still 5 cameras and the video recorded by these 5 cameras is missing, I think, the video must have recorded something that Chang Qing thought was crucial, so he hid it. Of course, the police will further look for the missing video files, and if they find these videos, it will almost be equivalent to solving the case," Ran Sinian looked back and forth at the three suspects and Ai Qin with an unfathomable smile, and asked, "Now you can guess where the remaining 5 cameras will be?" ”

"Could it be, could it still be in the villa, is it because the police are incompetent, or is the camera too hidden, so I didn't find it?" Bai Yifeng didn't give Qu Zi a face at all, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Qu Zichong snorted coldly and responded: "Don't forget, we found all the surveillance video files in Changqing's computer and mobile hard drive, according to those videos, the angle of those cameras, how could we have missed them?" ”

The living room was quiet for half a minute, everyone was thinking about where the 5 cameras went, some people had question marks on their faces, some people were silent, and some people seemed to know the answer but it was inconvenient to say. Qu Zichong silently observed their micro-expressions, trying to find some clues from them.

Ran Sinian is not good at observing people's faces, his gaze does not wander back and forth on several people's faces like Qu Zichong, but takes advantage of this gap in everyone's thinking to float towards Rao Pei'er. He looked at Rao Pei'er expressionlessly, but there was a hint of imperceptible surprise in his eyes.

Rao Pei'er and Ran Sinian met their eyes, raised a stubborn little face, and asked coldly, "What do you think I do?" I repeat, I'm not a murderer! ”

Ran Sinian smiled and waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't think you were the murderer, I just wanted to see if you already had an answer to where the 5 cameras went." ”

Rao Pei'er shrugged, "How do I know this?" Then again, when the police told me this morning that the entire killing process had been recorded, I was also shocked, and I was told that the camera was installed by Changqing himself, and I couldn't believe it. At that time, I thought that this evergreen must be an old pervert, installing cameras everywhere in his house to secretly observe his wife. Just now you said that he actually kept all those surveillance videos, isn't this even more perverted? He must have wanted to watch the videos over and over again when he was fine, and peep at his wife like a voyeur. ”

Ran Sinian shook his head slightly, "No, what Chang Qing wants to shoot is not his wife Ai Qin, but evidence that Ai Qin and her lover are secretly happy." Ai Qin had confessed to the police before, and she told us that Chang Qing was very suspicious and worried that her young and beautiful wife would get into trouble with her equally young and beautiful lover. It's no wonder, who called him a middle-aged man about fifty years old to find a beautiful wife like Ai Qin, who is nearly 20 years younger than him? ”

Ran Sinian broke the privacy of Ai Qin's family and made it public, which made Ai Qin's face very unbearable, she didn't know how many times she glared at Ran Sinian viciously, biting her lip and not speaking.

"Since the purpose of installing the camera is this, then I think Chang Qing must have thought that Ai Qin would call his lover to the house when he was not at home, so he installed a camera at home to record evidence. According to this line of thinking, you should guess where the other 5 cameras are installed, right? Ran Sinian is kind and persuasive, hoping that someone will be able to guess the answer.

Rao Pei'er called out in a low voice, "Could it be, is it installed in the lover's house?" In other words, Evergreen already has a suspicion? ”

Ran Sinian nodded, and smiled at Rao Pei'er like a reward, "That's right, Chang Qing suspects that the place where his wife and her lover are dating is either her own house or her lover's home, because these two people should not go to the hotel to open a room, which will leave evidence of the name of the person who opened the room, so the place of cheating is only the home of two people, or the house they rent separately." But renting can also be excluded, and I'll talk about the reasons for the exclusion later. In short, the remaining 5 cameras were secretly installed by Chang Qing in the home of Ai Qin's lover whom he suspected. Also, the area of this place is about one-third of the size of this villa, so you can see it all with only 5 cameras, so I think it must be a high-end apartment or something. Now, the three of you, where are your residences and how big are they? ”

Rao Peier asked with a smile: "Mr. Detective, have you made a mistake?" Are you face blind or completely blind, can't you tell if I'm a woman? How could I be Ai Qin's lover? If you ask the two of them, it's fine! ”

Ran Sinian jokingly said: "A woman's lover can also be a woman, and out of prudence, you can't be left out." ”
