Chapter 047: You're Suspected of Murder
On the two lists, there is an overlapping name: Li Deshui.
This is a completely unfamiliar name to me, but Luo Feng was a little surprised when he saw this name. One of the lists is from the secular disciples of Sansongguan, these people are all well-known in the port area, so Luo Feng recognizes them.
Li Deshui is not only a secular disciple of Sansongguan, but also a local of that village. Li Deshui grew up in that village, and his parents died a few years ago. Li Deshui is the only literate person in the village, although he is not like Yungao, the level of knowledge is very high, but he has successfully graduated.
Later, Li Deshui was accepted as a secular disciple by Sansongguan, and after staying in the mountain for two years, like all other lay disciples, his career was smooth and he gained some fame in the port area. Li Deshui no longer lives in that village, but as soon as he is free, he will still return to the village to worship his parents.
The results of the survey, which are not in conflict with our previous speculations. Although Li Deshui does not live in the village often, he often goes back, and it is normal for the dogs in the village not to bark at him collectively.
I asked Luo Feng to investigate for me what this person has arranged for tomorrow, and I want to go and meet with him. Luo Feng listened, was slightly stunned, and asked me if I was not afraid of startling the grass. I shook my head, and when dawn came, we had only one last day left.
We don't have any more time to waste, I just want to deliberately appear in front of Li Deshui and let him know that we have set our sights on him. In this way, under the panic, Li Deshui may show more horses' feet. Luo Feng agreed, but he asked me how sure I was that this person was the murderer.
I replied to Luo Feng, eight or nine is not far from ten. Because this person is completely consistent with all the clues we have investigated before. Luo Feng was still a little dazed: "All the clues match?" ”
I nodded: "Yes, not only the overlapping list, but also his profession, are completely in line with the characteristics of the murderer that we have speculated." ”
Luo Feng saw that I was so sure, so he didn't ask any more. I sat on the edge of the bed, frowning and thinking, Luo Feng asked me why I still looked distressed since I had determined that Li Deshui was the murderer. I smiled wryly and said that it had taken a lot of our time and energy to find out this person.
But in this case, the most difficult thing is not to find the suspect, but how to find evidence and bring the suspect to justice. Whether it was the case of the ghost calling the meal or the death of Feiji, the suspect did not leave any traces and evidence that could prove his identity.
Luo Feng patted his head and said, "Yes, what's the use of us knowing that he is the murderer, we have no evidence!" Luo Feng said, and complained that the police case handling procedures were too troublesome, Luo Feng said that the suspect was too cunning, not only did he not leave traces, but he created a lot of traces of short-haired women and Yunqing.
"There is no way, reasoning and investigation, only to let us know who the murderer is, but if you want to convict him, you still need evidence." I replied to Luo Feng, I stood up and walked around the house, thinking and meditating for a long time, but I still couldn't think of a way. Luo Feng said that he could use the confessions of Yunqing and the short-haired woman to confess Li Deshui.
Yun Qing and the short-haired woman may know who the murderer is. Yun Qing knew that the murderer was arrested, and Yun Gao might be involved, so he made a scapegoat, and the short-haired woman was clearly the murderer's accomplice, and she must also know who the murderer was. However, as soon as Luo Feng thought of Yun Qing and the short-haired woman both wanting to eat in prison, he gave up.
After a sleepless night, at dawn, Chen Fan returned the surveillance video borrowed from the police station. Chen Fan told me that the police ignored this section of the road during their investigation. That crowded street, whether it is from the residential area of the murder scene or from Chaoyangji, is relatively far away.
Because the case did not involve a traffic crime, the police did not conduct a large-scale survey of the road section, but only looked for eyewitnesses near the crime scene and Chaoyang Kee. What's more, the boss and his buddies of Chaoyang Ji didn't mention the crowded street they passed through at that time, because they themselves didn't believe that someone could complete a series of actions such as opening bags, drawing banknotes, stuffing coins, and closing zippers in a short period of time without noticing.
In addition, everyone didn't believe it, and there were too many strange points in the case itself, so the police ignored it. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to recreate the original scene with my buddies, this section would probably have been overlooked. When Chen Fan came back, he sighed, according to my instructions, Chen Fan did not tell the police about our discovery for the time being.
Chen Fan said that as soon as he arrived at the police station, everyone asked him if he had caught the murderer, and there was mockery in his tone, and he was a little embarrassed.
There are only twenty-four hours left to solve the case, and Luo Feng has already investigated Li Deshui's arrangements for today. Luo Feng told me that Li Deshui had a performance at the New Territories Theater today, and he had already managed to get a few tickets. Chen Fan didn't know that we had locked up the suspect, and he was shocked: "The murderer is a singer?" ”
I smiled slightly: "Let's go, then let's go and sing a play with him." ”
Taking the imps with us, the four of us headed towards the New Territories Theatre. The show will start at two o'clock in the afternoon, and by noon, the theater will be filled with people. We stood at the door of the theater and waited in line for a long time before we finally entered the theater. When queuing, I asked Luo Feng to send someone to check where Li Deshui was on the day we last went to the scene of the murder, and I wanted to confirm whether the person who secretly went to the scene of the crime to observe us that day was Li Deshui.
The New Territories Theatre is huge, and the seats inside are almost full, but despite this, the theatre is still cold. At the beginning of the performance, Luo Feng received a phone call, and after putting down the phone, Luo Feng told me that on the day we went to the rural village and the scene of the murder, Li Deshui was performing during the day, and there was a major mistake in the performance.
After work, Li Deshui left in a hurry, and he didn't tell the people in the performance team where he went. Asked in detail, it is said that Li Deshui behaved absent-mindedly all day that day.
I listened, smiled slightly, and said that Li Deshui must have heard that we went to his village during the day, so he was very panicked, so he made a major mistake in the performance. And after work, Li Deshui hurriedly left the performance group, and he must have learned that we went to the scene of the murder again, so he wanted to find out what we found.
Li Deshui was performing in public that day, so naturally there was no way to follow us during the day. Whether it is Li Deshui's performance that day, or his public attention, it is completely consistent with our previous speculation.
When we were talking in a low voice, the curtain of the theater was opened, and Luo Feng pointed to the man in the suit on the stage and told me that he was Li Deshui. We were so far away from the stage that I could barely see what he looked like, but I could only vaguely identify him as an inchhead, which was the same as the one we saw in the surveillance footage.
The performance began, and Chen Fan knew that Li Deshui was a magician.
The drama theater is not only used for theatrical performances, the entire New Territories is such a place suitable for large-scale performances, so Li Deshui's performance was also chosen here. Li Deshui, before he came down from Sansongguan, no one knew that he had a talent for magic performance, but in just a year or two, Li Deshui gradually became famous and became one of the pillars of the magic industry in the port area.
Li Deshui's performance on the stage went very smoothly, some magic performances, people were dazzled, whether it was taking things in the air, or poker performances, or through the wall, some classic magic projects made Li Deshui's performance incisive. The magic industry is not particularly prosperous in the mainland, but in the port area, it has become a big head in the entertainment industry.
Perhaps except for people in the magic industry, no one knows how Li Deshui's magical tricks are done. I found that the little ghost stared at Li Deshui who was performing, and he was fascinated. At first, I thought that the little ghost was attracted by Li Deshui's magical and unexplainable performances, but soon, the little ghost pulled my sleeve and said to me: "Brother Fang Han, I have heard this person's voice." ”
I immediately asked the little ghost where he had heard it, and the little ghost thought about it and said that he had heard it in the Sansong Temple.
The little ghost has an impression of the Sansong Temple, and the only thing he has an impression of is the domesticated wilderness and the room inside the stop gate. I suddenly had doubts again: could it be that the so-called secular disciples had also entered the stop gate.
The show lasted for dozens of minutes, and I wasn't interested in magic, I knew that it was all just a trick to confuse people with props and tricks. However, I still had the patience to watch the whole performance. During the break, the theater became noisy again, and I heard everyone say that Li Deshui was too powerful.
Taking advantage of this time, we stood up and walked towards the drama theater of the theater.
Soon someone stopped us, Chen Fan took out his ID and claimed to be a policeman, wanting to see Li Deshui.
Things didn't go very well, they first sent someone to inform Li Deshui, and finally let us in. I asked Luo Feng and Chen Fan to look at the little ghost, and pushed open the door of the lounge by myself.
Li Deshui was sitting on the sofa, and he had already changed into a set of clothes. I saw at a glance the leather shoes on Li Deshui's feet, Li Deshui just stood up and wanted to shake hands with me, so I waved my hand: "Mr. Li, you were wearing leather shoes that day, and you can still run so fast, you must have learned some Taoist immortal art in Sansong Temple, right?" ”
Hearing my ridicule, Li Deshui didn't show any excess, he nodded at me: "This police officer, I don't understand what you're talking about." I don't know what you're coming to me for? ”
As soon as Li Deshui finished speaking, I grabbed him by the collar: "Mr. Li, you are suspected of murder!" ”
