"Huh? But ......" Liu Jing, who was still with the microphone attached to her ear, looked at her daughter, and Xiaomei was full of fear and anxiety. It was probably difficult to understand who the mother was talking to about something.

If Shi Lei really listened with his ears pricked up next door, then he must also know that Xiaomei was involved in this murder. If he told the police about this, then no matter how much Liu Jing denied it, the criminal police would not believe it.

Liu Jing made up his mind.

"I see. I also have something I want to ask you, so can you please come here? ”

"Okay, I'll be right over now." Shi Lei said.

When Liu Jing hung up the phone, Xiaomei immediately asked, "Who called?" ”

"Shi Lei, the teacher next door."

"How could that person ......"

"I'll explain this later, you go to the room first, and the door has to be closed. Hurry up. ”

Xiaomei walked into the back room with an inexplicable face. Almost at the same time as she closed the door, there was also the movement of Shi Lei walking out of the next room.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Shi Lei standing solemnly. For some reason, he was wearing a dark blue tracksuit, he wasn't dressed like that just now.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me." Shi Lei walked in.

When Liu Jing locked the door, he had already entered the room, and without hesitation, he lifted the blanket in the corner, and looked at his movements, as if he was sure that there must be a corpse there.

He knelt down on one knee and looked at Zhang Fu's corpse, his expression as if he was thinking about something. Only then did Liu Jing realize that he was wearing thick gloves on his hands.

Liu Jing trembled and moved his gaze to the dead body. Zhang Fu's face was lifeless, and under his lips there were dry marks that were neither saliva nor vomit.

"Excuse me...... Did you hear you? Liu Jing asked.

"Hear that? Hear what? ”

"I mean, we're talking, that's why you're calling, right?"

When Shi Lei heard this, he immediately turned to Liu Jing expressionlessly.

"I heard some voices. And ......"

Shi Lei pointed to the corner of the room, "When I came just now, there was still a smell of smoke in the house, so I thought there were guests, but I didn't see the guests' shoes." But there seems to be someone under the blanket in the corner, and with the sound of the fight before, you have a rare unkempt hair, and of course you can imagine what happened. Another thing is that there are no cockroaches in this apartment, and I have been living here for many years to pack a ticket. ”

Liu Jing stared blankly at Shi Lei's lips that did not change his color and explained indifferently. She suddenly had an irrelevant thought: this person must be teaching students in this way at school.

Sensing that Shi Lei had been staring at her, she looked away, and she felt that she was also being observed by the other party.

What a frighteningly calm smart person, she thought. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to draw such a correct reasoning from a casual glance through the crack in the door. But at the same time, Liu Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Shi Lei should not know the details of what happened.

"It's my ex-husband." She said, "It's been divorced for many years, and it's still pestering me." If he didn't give the money, he wouldn't leave....... The same is true today. I really couldn't stand it, so I ...... in a fit of anger" Speaking of this, Liu Jing hung his head and was silent. She can't tell the circumstances of killing Zhang Fushi, and she must let Xiaomei stay out of the matter completely.

"You're going to turn yourself in

Is it? ”

"I think that's all I can do

It's like that, the only thing that hurts is the innocent Xiaomei. ”

As she said this, the door in the middle of the room suddenly opened, and Xiaomei walked out.

"No, absolutely not."

"Xiaomei, you shut up for me."

"I don't want it! I don't want to die! Uncle, listen to me, it was actually -"

"Xiaomei!" Liu Jing shouted loudly.

Xiaomei's jaw shrank in fright, and she stared straight at her mother, her eyes red.

"Ms. Liu." Shi Lei said expressionlessly, "You don't have to hide it from me. ”

"What ...... I Hide from You"

"I know you didn't kill it alone, the little girl also helped, right?"

Liu Jing hurriedly shook his head, "What are you talking about, I really did it alone." The kid had just come back ....... Well, after I killed someone, she came back after her, so it has nothing to do with her. ”

But Shi Lei didn't seem to believe her words, he sighed and turned to look at Xiaomei.

"Telling this kind of lie, I'm afraid it will only make the little girl miserable."

"I'm not lying, trust me." Liu Jing put his hand on his lap.

He stared at the hands, glanced at the corpse, and tilted his head slightly.

"The question is what the police think, I'm afraid your lie won't work."

"Why?" After speaking, Liu Jing realized that he asked this, which was tantamount to admitting lying.

Shi Lei pointed to the corpse's right hand.

"There were traces of internal bleeding on the wrists and backs of the hands. If you look closely, you can see that the marks take the shape of fingers. This man must have been strangled from behind, desperately trying to break free. This should be the mark left by the grasping hand when she did not let break free, so to speak, at a glance. ”

"I told you that I did it."

"That's impossible."

"Why?"

"Think about it, you strangled him from behind, right? So there's absolutely no way you're going to grab his hand again. This requires having four hands. ”

Shi Lei's explanation made Liu Jing speechless, and she felt as if she had entered a tunnel with no exit.

She bowed her head. Since Shi Lei can see everything so clearly with just one glance, then the police will definitely find out the truth more closely.

"No matter what, I don't want Xiaomei to get involved, I want to save this kid......"

"But I don't want my mother to go to jail either." Xiaomei said crying.

Liu Jing covered his face with his hands, "What should I do...... The air seemed to suddenly become heavy, and this burden almost crushed Liu Jing.

"Uncle......" Xiaomei spoke, "Uncle, you're not here to persuade my mother to turn herself in, are you?" ”

Shi Lei answered after a pause. "I just called to help you. If you decide to turn yourself in, of course I don't object to it, and if you have other plans, I think it will be very difficult for you two alone. ”

His words made Liu Jing put down his hands. Now that I think about it, this man did say strange things when he called. He said that women alone could not dispose of corpses—

"Is there any way to solve the problem without turning yourself in?" Xiaomei asked again.

Liu Jing raised his face and saw Shi Lei slightly crooked his neck, with a resolute look on his face.

"Either you will hide this murder, or you will cut off the relationship between the murder and the two of you, choose one or the other. But the body has to be disposed of anyway. ”

"Uncle thinks it can be done?"

"Xiaomei!" Liu Jing stopped her, "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible."

Shi Lei's tone was still the same, but to Liu Jing's ears, it also showed that he had some kind of theoretical basis.

"Mom," said Mei, "just let my uncle help, there's no other choice." ”

"However, this kind of thing ......" Liu Jing looked at Shi Lei.

His eyes kept looking downward, as if he was waiting for the mother and daughter to come to a conclusion.

Liu Jing remembered what a female colleague in the small restaurant said. According to her, the math teacher seems to have a crush on Liu Jing, and only comes to buy a light meal every time she is sure she is in the store.

If she hadn't heard about this, she must have suspected that Shi Lei's nerves were abnormal. Who in the world would draw a knife to help a neighbor who doesn't know him well to such an extent? If he doesn't get it right, even he himself will be arrested.

"Even if you hide the body, it will be found sooner or later, right?" Liu Jing asked. She found that this sentence was the first step in changing their fate.

"Whether or not to hide the body or not, I haven't decided yet." Shi Lei replied, "Because sometimes it's better not to hide." How to dispose of the corpse should be decided after the relevant information has been put together. The only thing that can be determined is that the corpse cannot be left like this. ”

"Excuse me, what kind of message are you talking about?"

"That's the information about this person." Shi Lei looked down at the corpse. "Address, name, age, occupation. What are you going to do here, where are you going next, do you have family, etc. Please tell me everything you know. ”

"Ah, that ......"

"But first, let's move the corpse first. It's best to clean this room as soon as possible, because there must be a mountain of traces of crime. As soon as the words fell, Shi Lei had already begun to lift the upper body of the corpse.

"Huh? But where do you want to move when you say move? ”

"My home."

After Shi Lei replied as a matter of course, he carried the corpse on his shoulder. His strength is so great that it is effortless to do.
