Chapter 17: Jiang Xiaobei
Early the next morning.
Jiang Chen faced the east, ran the "Health Sutra", breathed and breathed, and then practiced the "Immortal Fist" again, and then made himself a simple breakfast.
Eating breakfast, Jiang Chen turned on the TV and wanted to have some entertainment.
"Last night, there were many homicides in Dragon City, and the murderer's methods were cruel and outrageous."
"It is reported that several of the deceased have a common social circle, which provides clues for the police to solve the case, and the case is currently being solved."
"Longcheng TV reporter, report for you!"
Jiang Chen looked at the picture that appeared on the TV, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, there were several people among the dead that he knew.
The owner of the retail store in the residential area where he rented a house, and a couple downstairs from him, and...... Host Sister Ma!
Looking at the wounds on these people's bodies, it was as if they had been killed by some wild beast, not like they were man-made.
Especially the landlord Sister Ma is a blur of flesh and blood, and her death is quite miserable, although she has made a mosaic, it is still very terrifying.
"That couple is Sister Ma's tenants, and the owner of the retail store doesn't seem to have anything to do with Sister Ma, but the two should know each other."
"With whom do they have a grudge?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh a little, he didn't know the couple well, but he was very familiar with the retail store owner, he had rented a house in that community for a year before, and he usually went there to buy everything.
There is also the landlord Sister Ma, although her character is not good, but she was still alive a few days ago, and she was shocked to hear the news of her death today, which is also a little emotional.
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
Jiang Chen was thinking about it, the doorbell rang, he saw through the surveillance, there were two policemen standing at the gate, a man and a woman, one of whom seemed to be a little familiar, he hurriedly opened the door and took the initiative to go out to greet him.
"Squad leader!"
The policewoman couldn't help but say in surprise when she saw Jiang Chen.
"Tang Yue, are you a policeman?"
Jiang Chen was also a little surprised, the person who came was his college classmate and Tang Yue, who was also a member of the study committee in the class.
"I looked at you a little familiar just now, but I didn't dare to admit it, I didn't expect it to be you."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"My master and I did a case investigation and knew that the head of the household here was named Jiang Chen, and he had rented a house in the Majiatun community before, but I didn't expect it to be you."
"Squad leader, I want to congratulate you on making a fortune!"
Tang Yue said with a smile.
A middle-aged policeman beside her changed his face when he heard this.
used to live in the old and small relocation community of Majiatun, but now he has become the owner of a single-family villa worth tens of millions.
There's something wrong with this person!
"It's not about making a fortune, it's just that I sold three ancestral jade stones to Longcheng Yulong Jewelry some time ago and made some money, so I can buy this big villa."
"To be honest, I really didn't expect those broken stones to be worth that much."
Jiang Chen took in the changes in the expressions of the two, especially the middle-aged policeman's face changed, and he knew that the other party might think that his money was coming from the wrong way.
"Don't stand here either, let's go in and talk."
"You must have come to me for last night's murder, right?"
Jiang Chen said as he walked.
"The squad leader is still so smart!"
"That's right, we found out that the deceased Ma Xiaocui was Ling's former landlord, and according to her family, she also withheld your 2,000 yuan deposit when you checked out."
"And we investigated the deceased's cell phone and found that the deceased's last call before he died was to you."
Tang Yue said directly and straightforwardly.
The middle-aged policeman beside her, that is, his master Fang Dayong, couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this.
This stupid girl, why do you say everything.
"Called me?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, then poured a glass of water for each of them, and said:
"My rental deposit was not deducted by her, but I offered not to deposit it when I checked out, because I didn't want to entangle with her, after all, I bought 20 million villas, so why bother with these 2,000 yuan."
"But she does call me all the time these days, mainly because she wants to introduce her niece to me, and I've told her several times that I already have a girlfriend and I'm about to get married, but she still doesn't give up."
"You don't suspect I killed her, do you?"
"When did you have a girlfriend, how did I not know?"
Tang Yue asked.
"I don't have a girlfriend, I lied to her, mainly because her niece is not only similar to her, but also resemblance!"
Jiang Chen said helplessly.
"Poof!"
Tang Yue squirted out a mouthful of boiled water when he heard this, and gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up:
"It's you, Jiang Xiaobei, it's still so bad to speak!"
"Mr. Jiang, I don't know if you know, who did the deceased Ma Xiaocui have a grudge with recently?"
"Or who have you had an unpleasant time with before?"
Fang Dayong also asked.
"Sister Ma is not a bad person in the traditional sense, but she is definitely not on the side of a good person, and there are a lot of small grievances with her, but I really can't think of killing her."
"And I watched the news just now, the wound on Sister Ma's body doesn't seem to be man-made!"
Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa, looked at Fang Dayong, and responded.
"This case is indeed strange, we did not take any fingerprints at the scene, but the composition of ink was detected in the fingernails of the deceased, and ......"
"Tang Yue, pay attention to discipline!"
Before Tang Yue's words were finished, Fang Dayong immediately stopped her.
Tang Yue stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly:
"I see, master!"
"Ink?"
When Jiang Chen heard this, a fine light burst out in his eyes:
"Is the murderer related to the serial theft a few days ago?"
"Huh?"
"Mr. Jiang, do you know something?"
This time it was Fang Dayong's turn and he couldn't sit still, he felt that Jiang Chen seemed to know a lot!
Originally, it was just a simple visit and investigation, and they had ruled Jiang Chen out of suspicion through community monitoring and the content of Jiang Chen's phone call with the deceased.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Chen actually gave them a little unexpected surprise.
"The thieves of this serial theft are picking on the rich, squad leader, you won't be patronized by him here, will you?"
"Then why didn't you call the police?"
Tang Yue said a little anxiously.
"I didn't call the police because I just moved in, and although the house is big, it doesn't have anything important."
"The more important reason is that even if I call the police, you may not believe it."
"Come with me."
Jiang Chen led the two of them to the bedroom where the wall was sprinkled with ink:
"I found him, and he turned into a puddle of ink!"
"I had never believed in any ghosts before this, but I had to believe it."
"If I call the police, I guess you won't believe me, and you may detain me as a psychopath who disrupts official business."
"It's so weird that I can't explain what I've seen with my own eyes, but since I didn't lose anything, I didn't call the police."
Fang Dayong touched the solidified ink with his hand, and he saw a two-finger-wide crack on the wall, right in the middle of the ink.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, and said in a deep voice:
"You killed him and saw him turn into a puddle of ink?"
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
Jiang Chen's face was still indifferent, and he was not afraid to meet Fang Dayong's gaze.
Fang Dayong turned his gaze elsewhere under Jiang Chen's gaze, looking for other clues.
After he and Tang Yue asked Jiang Chen a few more questions, they got up and left, and before leaving the door, Fang Dayong saw a penetrating mark on the heavy wooden door, like a trace left by a sharp blade directly piercing the wooden door.
But he didn't say anything, and left Jiang Chen's villa with Tang Yue.
