One day, Agent Li Yunshan suddenly visited Lang Xiaobai.

"What's the matter?" Lang Xiaobai asked.

"A case that I can't investigate, I ask you for help."

"Is it a homicide?"

"That's right! In a residential area near Hongjiashan Forest Park, the old man Peng Qiuwen was stabbed in the back with a dagger. ”

"Are there any fingerprints at the scene?"

"No, the room is a mess, there are signs of a fight. The drawer of the table was pried open, and someone turned it over, and I don't know what was missing. We investigated our neighbors, a retired civil servant named Luo Xiaolin, and three brothers surnamed Xie. ”

"Three brothers? How are they?"

"They are the hooligans and villains in that area, and when they were asked, they insisted that Luo Xiaolin was the real murderer, but they had no clue."

"I see, who is in charge of the interrogation?"

"Mr. Hanagi of the Security Department! A young and promising young man with excellent skills. This man has a strange temper, you have to beware. I know you best, and I don't care about your weird temper. But with strangers, you have to restrain yourself. You have to be careful not to make such mistakes!"

"Okay, don't worry about me."

The two drove to the residential area where the accident occurred. In the car, Li Yunshan gave a more detailed account of the case.

"The victim Peng Qiuwen was alone, and his life was dull. I heard that he had done a second-hand book business, and after reading the almanac, he disposed of the shop and moved to this residential area. Peng Qiuwen rarely moved. His life was simple and monotonous. During the investigation, it was rumored that he was a wealthy man who hid gold, silver, and jewelry somewhere. ”

"Is that what people in the neighborhood say?"

"Yes, but not too many people have been to his house, except for a man named Luo Xiaolin. The last time Luo Xiaolin went to see him was a week ago. ”

As he spoke, the car had arrived at its destination.

The house is a two-storey structure with stone walls on the perimeter, standing among the trees, and a garden and vegetable garden in front and back. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a group of people, Hua Muli, the case prosecutor (still acting), several security guards, and three strong men.

"That's the three brothers surnamed Xie." Li Yunshan said. The three of them had different faces, looking poor, about forty years old, but they looked treacherous and cunning.

When Li Yunshan and the others approached them, Hua Muli turned around and saw them, Lang Xiaobai saluted politely, Hua Muli just nodded slightly, and then continued his question:

"So, you guys came right away?"

"At that time, we were working in the vegetable garden and chatting with Mrs. Li who was picking up dead branches. Suddenly, we were stunned by a scream, and we ran over...... That's what I'm talking about, right?" One of the three brothers said so.

"That's right! It seemed like about two o'clock in the afternoon, and when we jumped in and walked through the vegetable garden, we saw a man running out. The three brothers preached in another.

"That person must be Luo Xiaolin! As soon as he saw us, he retreated back into the door. We can be sure that it's Luo Xiaolin, are you right?"

"That's right! It's Luo Xiaolin!"

The three of them confirmed each other, as if they were very determined.

"Can you really tell?" Hua Muli asked again.

"Yes, that's right!"

Hua Mu Li said something to his subordinates, and his subordinates immediately went to the circular gate fifteen or sixteen meters away. Soon, a human head emerged from the crack in the door, it was Luo Xiaolin.

Hua Mu Li and the acting prosecutor walked through the courtyard and into the house, and Li Yunshan and Lang Xiaobai also followed.

Luo Xiaolin and the security guard were at the door. The room was messy, and the drawers had been robbed. A chalk-drawn figure appears on the floor, showing the deceased's final gestures.

Hua Muli continued to question the three brothers:

"When you came in, where did you see Luo Xiaolin?"

"He wasn't at the scene and probably fled. Peng Qiuwen was helped up by us, and he endured the pain and his lips opened slightly. ”

"What did he say before he died?"

"We didn't hear what he said clearly, but it seemed that there were three words Luo Xiaolin, and then, he choked his breath, and then we called the police."

"Did you really hear 'Luo Xiaolin'?"

Several people nodded in the affirmative.

Hua Muli reflexively looked at Luo Xiaolin, Luo Xiaolin listened to the testimony of the three brothers silently, neither shocked nor angry, but full of kindness, smiling and silent. His demeanor was clearly saying, no matter how you frame you, I am not afraid.

"Mr. Luo Xiaolin, do you have anything to say?" Hua Muli asked.

"I don't have much to say, and if I had to say it, I would have to repeat what I just said." Luo Xiaolin said calmly.

"Are you sure you weren't at the scene at the time of the crime?"

"Not there! I have a witness, Mr. Security, according to your inquiry, is it unanimous in the residents: Mr. Luo Xiaolin stays at home on weekdays, and lunch is delivered by the hotel at noon. On the day of the incident, Mr. Luo Xiaolin received lunch at the restaurant as before, and then spent the whole afternoon by the window, smoking and reading a book? ”

"It was a nice day, and I sat by the window and read. The five people who passed by must have seen me, and facts speak louder than words. ”

"Yes, I have asked the five of you to confront you tonight."

"Great. They will surely be able to bear witness for me. ”

"It is not unusual for the Hsieh brothers to mention that the deceased called me by name on his deathbed. As an old friend of his, maybe he wanted to say something to me before he died, so he wanted to ask the Xie brothers to call me to go. I can't figure out why the three of them think I'm a murder suspect? It's incredible! Mr. Security, you should know what kind of people they are, and how can you believe their words? Maybe it's because they're confusing the public, fools!" Speaking of this, Luo Xiaolin's heart fluctuated a little.

"Do you think the Xie brothers are the real murderers?"

"I can't say with certainty that this is the only possibility."

"Really? Mrs. Li was indeed bumping into the Xie brothers and chatting for a while, when there was a scream. Hua Muli said.

"Did Mrs. Li speak to each of the three brothers? Didn't she say that she only spoke to one of them, and the other was still some distance away from them?" Luo Xiaolin asked.

"Yes, as you say, there is one who is far away."

"Did Mrs. Li see that person's face clearly?"

"She said she only saw human figures, not faces."

"In this case, she didn't dare to say that the three Xie brothers were all in the vegetable garden."

"Oh, so to speak." Hanagi Li nodded in agreement.

"So, one of the three brothers has the conditions to commit the crime, and the other two entered the room when they heard the screams, perhaps not to save people, but to cover up the miserable screams."

Hua Muli nodded again, seemingly agreeing with Luo Xiaolin's words, "You mean, they are deliberately framing you?"

"Maybe so, they all hate me."

"Oh, what the hell happened to you? Makes them hate you like this. ”

"It was all because of my little hunting ground, and I was angry that they were poaching, so I reported it to the Security Service. They were punished. They must be haunted by this. That's why this time I took the opportunity to frame me. ”

"It's just your reasoning!"

Hua Muli thought for a moment, and then stared at Luo Xiaolin: "If you think, what will the criminal take from the drawer?"

"This ...... I can't talk about this, Peng Qiuwen is not as rich as people think, he once told me that his savings are not at home but in the bank, and there is nothing valuable at home. ”

"Do you have stocks and jewelry at home?"

"Nope!"

"What about these books? Maybe some of them will be worth a lot of money, right?"

"It's unlikely. Because he has opened a used bookstore, and because he loves to read these kinds of old books, there are so many old books at home, but he doesn't have any rare kinds of used books. ”

"Did Peng Qiuwen mention the three Xie brothers to you?"

"No, Peng Qiuwen has no good impression of them. I deduce that they are murderers, and there is really no evidence, all this is just my cranky thinking, and it needs to be verified by facts. ”
