"His name is Zhou Jianwen, he is my husband's cousin, and he lives on Rongwang Street."

"Did someone steal his money?"

"Yes...... The amount is 60,000 gold dollars...... I heard that it was 60 banknotes with a denomination of 1,000 yuan. ”

"What is this money for?"

"My cousin lent it to someone else before, and he has been lending it out for a long time, and I heard that he didn't get the money back until the night before he was killed."

"The night before the murder, that means the money was recovered on Saturday night? Your husband knows about that money, right?"

"You know, he called his cousin on Sunday, and on the phone, his cousin mentioned that he had recovered an old debt from a long time ago, and he was very happy. At that time, my husband also said that it was not safe to put so much money in the family, and persuaded him to keep the money in the bank. ”

"That's what you heard, right?"

"Yes, I heard it clearly."

"Do you remember what time it was on Sunday?"

"It was about one o'clock in the afternoon. On that day, my husband had made an appointment with his cousin to visit him on a motorcycle, but because he was unwell, he changed his mind at the last minute, so he made a special phone call to apologize to his cousin. They had mentioned money on the phone. ”

"So, did your husband never go out again?"

"Yes, he stayed at home for a day."

"Staying home with you?"

"No, Mr. Cheng Zhenhua, this is this gentleman, come to play at home, my mother and Mr. Cheng Zhenhua, the three of us went outside to watch a movie together."

"Where's the maid?"

"It's time for her to rest that day, so she's not at home."

"Oh, then, your husband is the only one in the house?...... When did you get home?"

"In the evening, when we got home, we heard the news that my cousin had been killed by thieves. The next day, my husband was taken away, and they said he was a murder suspect. ”

"What's the suspicion of your husband? What evidence did the Security Bureau present?" Lang Xiaobai stared at the young wife tightly and asked.

"Yes, there is evidence,...... And that kind of evidence is inconclusive. ”

"When the killer escaped, he was riding a motorcycle, and the tires of this car were exactly the same as my husband's motorcycle, and there was also a pistol, which was also my husband's."

"Oh, the evidence is undeniable."

"What's more, someone in the neighborhood said that my husband had been out on his motorcycle at about three o'clock that afternoon. Another witness said that he had seen my husband return home from outside at around 4:30 p.m., and that the time of the murderer's crime was inferred by a forensic examination to be around 4 p.m. ”

"Originally, this was the case, but how did your husband explain these witnesses and physical evidence?"

"My husband said that he had been sleeping all afternoon that day and had slept very deeply, and that someone must have taken the opportunity to steal the motorcycle from the garage and ride it outside. In addition, there was a bag hanging on the wall of the garage with a handkerchief and a pistol, which the murderer must have taken, which was intended to frame me...... That's what my husband's argument is. ”

"That's right, it's a good excuse."

But the judge was not convinced. First of all, every Sunday my husband would go out for a ride on his motorcycle, but it was the only day that he didn't go out on his bike, which was puzzling. Moreover, no one can testify to my husband's words and confirm that he did indeed sleep well that afternoon. ”

"All in all, he is unable to provide counter-evidence."

"Secondly, it is said that the murderer went to a nearby hotel to drink after the killing. He didn't use the glass, and the fingerprints on the bottle were clearly my husband's. ”

"Things are getting worse......"

Lang Xiaobai bit his lip and thought deeply. Although he is capable and wise, he also feels helpless when encountering such a variety of conclusive evidence.

Besides, the execution will be carried out early tomorrow morning. Now, his chest was dull like a big stone.

He sat down in his chair, smoked three cigars one after the other, racked his brains and meditated, and finally, after much deliberation by his mind, a reasoning was completed.

He focused on exploring the true inside story of this strange case......

"Wait a minute, within two hours, I will find evidence of your husband's innocence. Before that, we have to have lunch. Hi! Mr. Cheng Zhenhua, is there a small restaurant around here?"

"There's a small restaurant on the first floor of my dorm building."

When they came to the tavern, they sat down in a small room. Lang Xiaobai asked, "Mr. Cheng Zhenhua, do you know the number on the stolen 60,000 yuan banknote?"

"Knowing that the victim received the money, he immediately copied all the numbers, and it is said that the Security Service still has the number book.

"Good, as long as you have this ......"

Lang Xiaobai picked up the phone from the table and called Inspector Wu of the Security Bureau.

"Hey, I'm Lang Xiaobai, has Inspector Wu been busy lately? Oh, by the way, I heard that the murderer who killed Zhou Jianwen will be executed tomorrow! Not! How? The murderer was caught, but the 60,000 yuan was not found?...... Yes, I already know where the money is hidden! Ha ha! You say that my eyes are very human and can see everything? No, it was just something I stumbled upon by accident, no, not rather, it was by my skill in reasoning. ”

"Alright, please send someone here right away. Oh, the location? This is Lixia Restaurant, goodbye. Hurry up!"
