Chapter 52: Ask the Old Butler

62

After a long time, Xiao Song slowly told Fu Qinglun what happened before: in the third lady's room, he was attracted by Wang Mengyi in sexy underwear, and he couldn't help but have a relationship with him.

The third lady usually looks quiet and weak, but when she gets to bed, everything becomes the opposite. And the wound on this face was also scratched by the crazy third lady who couldn't suppress the passion in her heart. After that, the third lady and the docile kitten generally hid in Xiao Song's arms.

"Brother Song, do you say I'm beautiful?"

"Of course."

"So can I ask you to do something for me?"

"Say it, I'll do my best."

"I know who the murderer is."

"Huh? Who? ”

"Nicknamed Little Dragonfly, her real name is Li Xiangru. It was my father's lover, and she killed him for the sake of our family property! ”

"What? This one. ”

"Don't you believe me?"

"No, it just felt too sudden."

"Okay, I promise you, I'll only tell you about the actions taken by the bureau, but I will never harm anyone, especially our boss!"

After that, she left the third lady's house.

"I see." Fu Qinglun said. So she's curious to know what we're doing, why? ”

"I don't know, I just warned her that she is absolutely not allowed to do dangerous things, otherwise I will not be finished with her." Xiao Song said.

"Don't be so excited, these things, you're not a child, there's no need to be so timid. But you have to be careful, Miss Three is Miss Three after all, in case something happens. The bureau may not be able to protect you. Fu Qinglun said earnestly.

At this time, Director Li also came over, and the Director was beside him.

"Director!" "Director!" Xiao Song and Fu Qinglun immediately stood up and went to the director to take their luggage.

"Eun, I heard that there is a centralized interrogation of a suspect now, right?"

"Yes. Managing director. Director Li said, "It's the old housekeeper of the Wang family." Now my men are making confessions to him. * When the word was spoken, he quickly felt that something was wrong, his face turned red, and his tongue cramped and he couldn't speak.

But the director didn't pay attention to this, but nodded with a pleasant face and said: "Day and night, it's difficult to prevent thieves." It turns out that the problem is still in the root cause! Fu Qinglun coughed and said, "Your Excellency, I think there is still a need for an investigation." It's not a good way to give him * so quickly, and he is also 70 years old, so if something happens, our bureau can't afford it. ”

"What are you afraid of!" Director Li said. "It's not that there haven't been before, there have been many cases, and many people have not confessed to the facts. Later, it turned out that this is the result. ”

"But there's a lot more that are wronged, aren't they?" Fu Qinglun said, "Director, I hope to give more time to investigate. Do you think you can? ”

"It can be, but the urging from above is too tight, and if we don't respond, we don't want to continue to mess around." He took a drag on his cigarette and continued, "That's it, add me to the investigation while giving me a confession and see what clues there are." If it's still the same before noon tomorrow, there will be no breakthroughs. I'm going to have to bring someone else in to solve it. ”

"This." Xiao Song was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry. Just give us another day, Director, and I'll have good news for you. Fu Qinglun smiled.

"Yes. I love to hear that, but you also have to remember that if you can't do it before tomorrow, all of you guys will lose all of your bonuses this month. With that, he walked out of the gate without saying a word.

"I'm so faint! Top dog! Xiao Song was very helpless.

"It seems that the director is in a very bad mood, and nine times out of ten he says that he is not doing well, and he has no clue for a few days." Fu Qinglun shook his head.

Director Li said, "Fight, how are you feeling now?" Will it fall again at any time? If that's the case, I'd advise you to rest for a little longer. ”

"yes. Top dog. Xiao Song also said.

"I can't do anything if I don't hurry. While I still have this breath, I can continue to hold on. Fu Qinglun smiled.

"What now? Old fight? Bai Yiheng said.

"I'll ask the old butler first." Fu Qinglun said. "Xiao Song, you go with me. You don't have to talk, just watch quietly. ”

"Yes. Okay, boss. Xiao Song nodded and replied.

A police officer led the four to a closed room in decent condition. Bright and spacious, with water dispenser and clean table and stools. If it can be bigger, then it really has a bit of a conference room flavor.

Inside, through the glass, the old butler could be seen sitting quietly on a stool alone. It was very quiet, holding a paper cup in his hand and half a glass of water.

Every now and then, I take a sip. I don't know if I didn't notice someone coming, or if I was thinking about something, but I didn't look up anyway, and kept it low.

"It seems that he is very calm." Director Li said, "He won't tell the truth if he doesn't let him suffer a little." ”

"Don't do that. Things haven't been settled yet, so don't jump to conclusions. Fu Qinglun said, "I'll ask and see." So he and Xiao Song pushed the door open and entered the room.

"Hello. Old butler, we meet again. ”

The old butler glanced at him, nodded and said, "I heard that you are hospitalized, I don't know if this is the case." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just my old problem, I have a flare up every now and then, but it's not in the way, just a day off. Fu Qinglun said very flatly.

"Then you have to pay attention to your body and don't get too tired." The old butler took off his glasses, wiped them clean, and put them back on.

"Thank you. So, are you still in the habit of living in the accommodation I arranged for the four of you before? Fu Qinglun asked.

"Not bad. Thankfully, it gave us a place to stay temporarily, and I appreciate that to you. The old butler said, "And the location is good." The important thing is that you arranged orchids for my room, and I was surprised. ”

"I just smelled the flowers in the villa, and although it wasn't obvious, I thought there was nothing wrong with doing it anyway." Fu Qinglun smiled, "There is always no harm in observing more, maybe there will be an accident at any time." Also, do you know why the bureau brought you back? After saying that, he looked into the eyes of the old butler.

"I know." The old butler paused and continued, "You suspect that I killed the master. Bring me in to inquire about the situation. ”

Xiao Song was about to say something, but Fu Qinglun made a gesture to ask him not to speak, and continued to ask: "I didn't say that I suspected you of killing Mr. Wang." There are just a few small things that I would like to get confirmation from you. ”

"Just ask, I will tell you what I know, and I won't talk nonsense if I don't know." The old butler said lightly, "You are much more reliable and trustworthy than the other policemen." I'm not worried about them, you're different, so I won't lie to you. ”

"Well, thank you for trusting me so much." Fu Qinglun smiled.

"I trust you so much, not because I have any special feelings for you, but because I admire you. You are calm, analytical, and more respectable than those who are incompetent. The old butler said. Hearing this, Director Li, who was outside the door through the glass, was a little angry and scolded: "This old man! Xiaobai pulled her and motioned for him to be quiet.

"Let's get down to business." Fu Qinglun smiled very gracefully and said, "First of all, can you explain the problem with this awl?" ”

"Yes." The old butler said, "I have never seen such a thing." ”

"Oh? Haven't you really seen it? Fu Qinglun paused for a while, obviously a little suspicious of the old butler's directness, and after a while, Xue Xue asked, "Where were you on the night of the murder?" ”

"It's in my own room." The old butler still said lightly.

"Then you didn't notice anything unusual?" Fu Qinglun's question is still the same as before.

"Nope."

"Do you know that outsiders have entered the house?"

"I don't know."

"Did you hear anything?"

"Nope."

"So what exactly were you doing that night?"

"In the room."

"What are you doing in the room?"

"Read the newspaper."

"What newspaper?"

"People's Daily."

"Remember what?"

"I remember that the headline of the first edition of the homepage was to study the 17th National Congress of the CPC Central Committee..., and the second edition of the landslide accident occurred in Jilin, Gansu and other places... The old butler kept saying the contents of several editions, and he was very fluent, almost like reciting them.

"There's nothing wrong with that. What you said is the same as what I have recorded. Fu Qinglun said, "In my notebook, I also recorded the main contents of the day in several newspapers that you usually read. ”

"Ahh Xiao Song couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"But one thing I don't understand, your eyes are very bad, right?"

"Yes."

"Why read the newspaper at night or even close to the wee hours of the morning? Don't you think there's something wrong? Fu Qinglun smiled faintly.

The old butler did not speak.

Fu Qinglun continued to ask: "And according to my analysis, you answered so fluently, I think you have prepared in advance." I don't know if it was recited before or after the crime. After finishing speaking, he continued to look into his eyes and continued to ask: "So did you recite it yourself or did someone force you to recite it?" ”

"No one forced me, and I didn't memorize it on purpose." The old butler said quietly. "Every once in a while, I pay attention to national politics, as well as major accidents and sports news in China. I remember all the major events in the past year, and it happened that the major events in the past few days have been gathered together, so I took a good look at the newspaper and remembered it. Then he casually mentioned a few important things that have happened recently. The timing and points are also almost exactly the same.

"Do you really have such a good memory?" Xiao Song still couldn't help but open his mouth. "Wasn't it prepared in advance?"

"As long as it's an article I've read, I just have to read it once and remember it quickly. More than 80 percent of the retellings are made. What's more, it's important news, I read it a few times, and naturally I remember it. ”

"Then I'm going to test you." Xiao Song said.

"Yes." The old butler said lightly.

Fu Qinglun also smiled gentlemanly and didn't express any opinions, as if he acquiesced.

"Forget it, I think he should be serious. It shouldn't be a problem for him to remember these little things from memory. Even if he really published some articles for the old housekeeper to see, he would probably repeat them. Fu Qinglun smiled, and Xiao Song didn't say anything more.

Fu Qinglun stood up and walked a few steps, and continued: "Old butler, why didn't you notice anything? Didn't Mr. Wang make any noise at that time? ”

"Nope."

"As a matter of common sense, you're in the room on the first floor closest to the stairs. If you really didn't hear the sound of the door opening, the sound of someone going upstairs, or the sound of someone running quickly from the stairs, then Mr. Wang was hurt and didn't hear the sound of falling to the ground and shouting? ”

"I'm old, and my eyes and ears are not good, but my heart is not dead. I couldn't hear any other strange sounds, and I read the newspaper wholeheartedly. Is there anything else to ask? As for the sound of the old man falling to the ground and the shouting, maybe it was because of the carpet sound insulation, the sound of others falling to the ground, running, etc., plus the back of my old ears, so I didn't notice it. The old butler said slowly, word by word.

"So you never left the room at all, did you?"

"Nope."

Fu Qinglun thought to himself: What he said before was good, there was no way for him to show his flaws. But this sentence? So he said, "Haven't left the room?" ”

"Yes."

"So what time did you go back to your room and never come out?" Fu Qinglun continued to ask.

"9:40."

"What were you doing before?"

"Organize and organize things."

"Arrange something."

"Because all three servants left the villa at 5:30 p.m. and had a day off. So I arranged for the old man's breakfast. ”

"And then prepare to send him over at 5 o'clock the next morning, right?"

"Wrong, it's half past five." The old butler said slowly.

Detective Liu asked about this and couldn't help but stop. Xiao Song didn't speak, he kept staring at Fu Qinglun's eyes, watching how the boss dealt with the current situation.

Fu Qinglun sighed, walked to the old butler's side, and said softly in his ear: "Old butler, I'm not torturing you now, do you understand?" I'm here to help you. ”

"Understood."

"I want you to tell me where you were that night." Fu Qinglun smiled.

"I'm in my room." The old butler still said so.

"No, you're not in the villa, and you're not in your room." Fu Qinglun said.

The old butler's face changed slightly, and he said, "Officer Bo, you really like to laugh. I was in my room that night and didn't come out. It wasn't until the early hours of the next morning that I went out of the room to prepare breakfast for my lord. ”

"Not true. I'm pretty sure you're not in the villa. Although I know you're not the murderer, you're going to tell me what you were doing at the time? In what place? ”

"Not true. I was in my room. ”

"It doesn't hurt if you want me to give me the evidence." Hearing this, everyone came to the spirit. Only Director Li was still muttering to himself: "What do you mean? Isn't it already confirmed that this old man killed the person? ”

"Lao Bo said that he would continue to investigate. Everything is still uncertain. Xiaobai said.

"You are a very attentive person," Fu Qinglun smiled. "In our investigative footage, we can see that two strange men have infiltrated the villa. But in a short time, it came out immediately. According to our guess, it is very likely that Mr. Wang has died in his room. From beginning to end, that is to say, the lights in Mr. Wang's room were always on. And your room is just below Mr. Wang's room. ”

"What does that mean?" The old butler asked.

"Shows you're lying." Fu Qinglun smiled.

"I don't understand." The old butler bowed his head and said.

"yes. I don't understand either, I don't understand why you don't tell the truth. Or do you have your own struggles that you can't tell us? Fu Qinglun said, "From any perspective of life, you are a meticulous person who pays great attention to details." For the time being, I believe what you said, and I haven't heard anything else. But look out of your room. What will you see? ”

"What?" Xiao Song also asked.

"The light in Mr. Wang's room is shining perfectly in front of your window. You can easily see the lights, and it's absolutely impossible to ignore them. Because you said it yourself, your grandfather will sleep very early, isn't it a habit that has been cultivated over the years? What's more, between 9:30 and 10 o'clock, you say you're reading the newspaper. At least for more than half an hour. ”

"That's right." The old butler said.

"That'll do." Fu Qinglun replied. "If you see that the old man's light is still on so late, you don't react at all, but just watch and you fall asleep. Until 5 o'clock, you can see the light in front of your window when you wake up. In such a strange situation, would you still calmly make breakfast for your lord? ”

"This." The old butler did not speak, but bowed his head.

"What the hell were you doing that night? In what place? Answer me. Fu Qinglun continued to ask.

"I'm not going to tell you. Anyway, I didn't kill the master. The old butler's mouth finally loosened, and he seemed to have admitted that he was not at the scene that day.

This made the people present couldn't help but be a little surprised, Xiaobai said: "Lao Bo said too quickly, I haven't turned around a little, and the old housekeeper has to tell the truth." ”

Xiao Song also asked proudly: "Old housekeeper, don't you explain quickly." ”

The old butler snorted, then turned his head and said, "You can't do anything to me, you have no evidence to identify me." ”

"Ha," Fu Qinglun smiled and said, "Ha, don't worry, old butler, I didn't identify you as a murderer." Because I'm pretty sure my judgment is not wrong, I just want to find out where you were that day and why you didn't tell us the truth. If it's not convenient for you to say it now, you can think about it another day and let me know in private, and I'll listen to you at any time.

What do you think of this suggestion? ”

The old butler did not speak, but continued to play with his cup, and his eyes continued to stare blankly at the table.
