The owner smiled a little embarrassed, "You see this order, the chef cooks and goes home, you will eat it!" As for the money, when booking the room, it was agreed that there would be no refund for non-major accidents. ”

Obviously, the owner of the manor didn't want to change my meal or return the money, thinking of this, I was a little angry, and it was useless to think about it, "You won't have a long business like this!" Then I slammed the door and went into the house, but I didn't hear him hear anything outside the house.

Just as I was sitting on the bed angrily, there was another knock on the door, and I thought it was the owner of the garden again, so I pulled the door hard and found that the person who came was Xiaobai, "Why are you here, come in and sit!" ”

Xiaobai sat down and stared at me after entering the room, "I came specifically to find you, you are such a talented detective, but you are willing to bury yourself in a shabby small police station for three years for the case of your girlfriend's death, and after working so hard to get some clues, you plan to give up before the case is solved?" Just give up your future? That's how you love her? Are you worthy of her, I think she will be disappointed to know how you are now! Think about it! ”

Xiaobai's words made me completely sober up, I felt my heart hurt, I reflected on why I didn't continue to work hard, it's been three years, I haven't found out her murderer, I...

After being silent for a long time, I raised my head, stared at Xiaobai with a firm look in my eyes, and said, "Okay!" I'll go back with you tomorrow! ”

Xiao Bai seemed to have finally let go of the big stone pressed in his heart, and slowly relaxed his tense body, "Okay, my room is in your upstairs location!" We'll go back to the police station early tomorrow morning! Then he went out.

I closed my eyes and lay quietly on the bed, I don't know how long I was lying, I just felt that it was very late, and suddenly I heard a "bang--" sound, professional alertness told me that it was a gunshot, I rushed out of the door, according to the direction of the gunshot, I came to the easternmost door on the first floor, the door was not locked, I opened the door and saw the owner of the manor lying in a pool of blood, the head was a gunshot wound, the blood from the wound had stained a large brown carpet, the red carpet was particularly dazzling, and the owner of the manor held a pistol in his right hand.

Just as I was about to go out and call the 110 police, Xiaobai and the farmer's son arrived, they ran to the door and saw the scene in the room, the owner's son instantly had red eyes, turned around like me pounced, punched me to the corner of the mouth, and shouted "It's you!" You killed my father! It has to be you! You killed my father because he had a quarrel with you at noon! I'm going to kill you to avenge my father!" Just as he was about to throw the second punch, Xiaobai stopped the owner's son in time, "Calm down, we'll wait for the police to come to the truth!" ”

Say it! The police officer inspected the scene and said after questioning, "There are no witnesses at the scene, you three, please go back to the police station with me to make a record!" ”

I glanced at Xiaobai and the son of the owner of the garden, turned to show the detective card to the police officer and said, "I am a detective, please let me take another look at the scene of the incident", I carefully examined and carefully wrote down all the traces.

Interrogation room

Police officer: "Xiaobai and the farmer's son said that you were at the scene when they arrived, how do you explain?" ”

Me: "I was sleeping in my room, when I heard a gunshot, and my professional experience told me that something was wrong, so I hurried to the manor's room, and found that the door was unlocked, and when I opened it, I saw that the owner was lying in a pool of blood. ”

Officer: "The farmer's son said that you killed the owner, how do you explain this?" ”

Me: "I didn't kill the owner, I think the owner committed suicide." ”

Officer: "Oh? Do you have any proof? ”

Me: "I carefully observed that there was no trace of outsiders entering the owner's room at the scene, and there were traces of burns on the deceased's gunshot wound, because when the bullet was fired against the wind and the muzzle of the gun, it would produce high temperatures, resulting in burns, and the deceased's wound had this burn, which was only produced when the deceased put the muzzle of the gun to his temple when he committed suicide, so it was concluded that the deceased committed suicide!" ”

Officer: "Oh? So experienced? How do you know so clearly? ”

I'm "Officer, I'm a detective!" ”

Officer: "Just because you're a detective, you'll be more vigilant when killing people and leave no traces!" At noon on the day of the incident, you had a quarrel with the owner of the garden, according to the investigation, you usually hate the most unhygienic food, and you happened to be at the scene of the incident, so there is sufficient evidence to prove that you killed the deceased! ”

Me: "If I killed him, why did the deceased's gunshot wound show burn marks?" ”

Officer: "Of course, you can't deny this, but you can have access to the deceased and put the gun at the deceased's temple when the deceased is defenseless, so that the burns will not occur?" Great detective, you say, right? ”

Listen to what the police officer said. I didn't believe what I said at all, and only listened to the words of the owner's son, no wonder, after all, I was just an outsider, but I couldn't be wronged for no reason, and it was not unreasonable for them to say so, but why did the owner commit suicide?。。。

Officer: "Detective? Why is it silent? Is this nothing to say and ready to confess? ”

。。。

Officer: "Since you don't have anything to say, then we'll do things according to the law"

I was silent for a long time and raised my head, looked into the officer's eyes, and opened my lips: "You can't just make a hasty decision!" Fingerprint! You can take fingerprints, and if I hadn't touched the gun in the deceased's hand, then there would be no fingerprints on the handle of the gun, and that would prove my innocence! ”

Officer: "Okay, thanks for the reminder!" Then wait for the results! With that, he turned around and went out.

I stared at his back and thought silently...

The three of them waited anxiously in the inquiry room, while the son of the owner of the manor kept his head bowed and remained silent.

Xiaobai and the protagonist stood up and walked back and forth in the interrogation room, and the protagonist also said to Xiaobai from time to time: "Such a simple case, when will we be able to return our innocence." ”

Xiaobai didn't speak, just leaned against the corner of the wall, and looked down like the son of the owner of the manor. Seeing that Xiaobai didn't answer his words, the protagonist had to paced back to his chair, while the police officers in the monitoring room were watching their every move, and there were behavioral analysis experts in the police station watching the actions of the people in the interrogation room.

Time passed minute by minute, and the protagonist finally couldn't hold back his mood after a long wait, so he turned around and sat on the chair, and said to Xiaobai and the son of the manor: "Anyway, it's not interesting for us to do it here, let's tell a story, which of you has a story to tell together." ”
