Chapter 381: You're the Biggest Suspect
The heavy curtain shook gently, and the metal hook that held the curtain in place "Wow!" There was a bang.
"Huh?"
Song Ziqiang snorted.
I saw a personable young rich gentleman standing behind the curtain. His one-sided glasses shone brightly.
"You...... You are...... Who are you?"
Song Ziqiang became incoherent.
"You don't know me? I'm Hakuro. β
"Huh? What? Hakuro?"
Just as the little soldiers wanted to rush up, Bai Lang took out his pistol and made a shooting motion.
"Don't move...... Raise your hands...... Right! Turn it around...... Stand in a row with your hands on the wall...... Don't move......"
The soldiers were afraid of the guns and had to obey.
Shirahiro smiled lightly and withdrew the gun. He said to Song Ziqiang:
"If you use a gun against you, it will inevitably be a loss of etiquette in the underworld. We're not decent people, but we should follow the rules of the game, right?"
He pulled over the chair with one hand, sat on it, put his hands on the back of the chair, and continued, "Tonight is the first time we have met, so don't be so polite!" I want to negotiate with you and let Miss Ning Shui Sakura go! β
"You're here for this?"
"No, I have more important things. Actually, I'm wondering why Ning Shui Sakura is here?"
"When did you arrive?"
"Last night."
"What's the intention?"
"I want to find out about the murder that happened in the ancient city of Dongjiang three years ago. In that incident, the female singer was not only assassinated, but even the pearl necklace was snatched. β
"What does this have to do with me?"
"The Dongzhou Security Bureau and the people have concluded that there are only two people who can do this kind of amazing and strange case in Dongzhou, one is me Bailang, and the other is you Song Ziqiang. Moreover, they all know that the strange thief Bai Lang never kills, so you are the biggest suspect.
"Besides, I am also suspicious of you, so I ambush here to find clues to the detection. Of course, I also want to find the hanging necklace. β
"Wow! Ha! It's so much fun. Hakuro, how did you become stupid. Ha ha! You suspect me of being a murderer. β
"Oh? Have you found the murderer?"
"Not bad! But don't be too surprised, the murderer of Maggie Wu is Liu Minxiang. β
"What? Don't talk nonsense! β
"Do you understand that Liu Minxiang was there that day?"
"Yes, but he's just a guest."
Liu Minxiang ignored Maggie Wu's objections and insisted that she go to the stone wall to perform. Her original site was a balcony, not a stone wall. β
"I understand that."
"Now that you understand, don't you think what he's doing is unreasonable?"
Shirarou was silent.
"How? You have nothing to say! You finally understand that Liu Minxiang is a murderer. At the beginning of the case, I thought Liu Minxiang was a suspect. That year, when I heard that a strange murder had occurred in the ancient city, I immediately drove to investigate and went to the nearby village to find out what the villagers were talking about.
"I also collected the commentaries of various newspapers and periodicals on this case, and I have been following it for three years.
"I went into Liu Minxiang's house, searched through the bedroom, the large living room, the study, the servant's house, the kitchen, everything from the roof to the basement, but I found nothing.
"I also went to No. 763 on the bank of the Dongjiang River to search. I searched all the secret drawers, even found every photo and love letter he kept, and looked through his diary.
"Finally, I learned a big secret, which even the Security Service didn't know about, and it wasn't reported in the newspapers.
"And I think it's the key to solving the mystery."
"What did you find?"
"Maggie Wu is Liu Minxiang's lover."
"I already knew."
Liu Minxiang recommended Maggie Wu to Shi Zhenghong and his wife, so they asked her to perform for everyone, and later Liu Minxiang took her to the stone wall.
"There is no need to elaborate on this matter, it has been reported in the newspapers. What's more, the scene where they walked from the grass to the stone wall was seen by everyone. β
"But, for a moment, their figures disappeared as they passed through the bushes. They disappeared for about a minute, and what did they do in the meantime? What did the unexpected happen? We don't know anything.
After Liu Minxiang walked back, Maggie Wu stood alone on the stone wall, looking up at the blue sky, opened her arms and breathed deeply, and opened her lips.
Just as the guests were intoxicated, Maggie Wu suddenly fell to the ground and died. People rushed up, and the first person to rush to her side was Liu Minxiang.
"At that time, someone exclaimed that Maggie Ng's necklace was gone."
"ClichΓ©! Don't the newspapers say that?"
"I deduce that the necklace is in Liu Minxiang's hands."
"Anyway, that guy must be a murderer?"
"But he was enjoying a show at the time, how could he kill someone?"
"He instructed others to do it, and I have conclusive evidence."
"What kind of character is that?"
"Not only did the man not know about security, but even the people in the ancient city didn't know him. For three years, I kept going around the ancient city to investigate, and I got acquainted with them, including a sheep herder named Anan.
"He was mentally handicapped, and despite his strong body and well-developed limbs, his intelligence was only at the level of a 4 or 5 year old.
Anan had no brothers or sisters, no relatives or friends, and the villagers took pity on him and let him live in a small house on the edge of the village and watch over the sheep.
Anan had a beard and looked like an adult, but in fact he had a pair of innocent eyes like a child.
"I felt very sympathetic to him, so I went to see him often, and occasionally brought him some sweets, so he listened to me.
"Anan's tongue is very dull, but he likes to talk. I thought that such a mentally handicapped person would not be of any help to the case I was investigating, but I did not expect that one day, he would say to me, "I...... Found...... Woman sings...... Singing dead ......'
"At that time, I was frightened and shocked, and then I thought, this person must be talking nonsense, how can I trust him? I didn't pay attention to it.
"But, after another day, I found Anan shooting birds with a slingshot in his hand.
The slingshot in his hand was very different from that of ordinary sparrow shooters, with a stronger shape and a thicker elastic band.
"I think if he shoots a bullet out of a stone, it will be so strong that not only the sparrows, but also the pigeons and the crows, and even the eagles will die.
"At this point, I immediately remembered the news in the newspaper.
"The female singer Maggie Ng had a wound on her forehead, and the bones close to the wound were shattered, although it looked like a gunshot, but she couldn't find a bullet, and she didn't hear a gunshot at that time.
"Anan's slingshot can kill people if he uses enough force, not to mention that he said it yesterday, I found out...... The woman sang and died.
"At this time, I realized that Anan was a murderer.
"I was excited, but I was afraid of alarming Anan, so I tried to suppress my excitement and calm down, and asked about some episodes specifically.
"There's a guy who has the skills...... Come to me...... So many times...... Send me cigarettes...... And also......
Anan smiled proudly as he spoke, and he took off his coat to show me his shirt.
"Maybe Anan hasn't taken it off since he put it on, so his shirt is dirty, and his back and sleeves are torn, but he still has the 'Made in Dongzhou' sign on his clothes.
"Hah...... Liu Minxiang actually took advantage of the demented Anan, and lured him with money, food and clothes, made him hide in the dark, and killed Maggie Wu with a slingshot. β
"It's just your speculation."
"No, it's the truth!"
"Is there any real evidence?"
"Yes! I have the evidence in my hands. I want to use it in exchange for a sum of money. Song Ziqiang said happily.
