Chapter 66 Evidence
Chai Jie let Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San into the courtyard, stretched out his head to look around for a while before closing the door, turned back to the two and said, "Which catcher is looking for you to ask?" ”
Gao Xiaoliu pretended to think for a while, and said, "It's a big man, he looks quite strong, and he looks less than twenty years old." I haven't seen it before, so I guess it's new. ”
Duan San invited the credit and said: "That guy is very fierce, and he asked me several questions in a row. I remember your instructions, brother, otherwise I'm afraid something will go wrong. ”
Chai Jie frowned and said, "What did he ask?" ”
Gao Xiaoliu rubbed his temples and exclaimed, "Oops, my head hurts a little, and I can't remember it for a while." ”
Chai Jie looked at Duan San.
Duan San scratched his head and said, "Look at my memory, it's only been one night, and I've forgotten everything." ”
Chai Jie took a deep breath, took out two silver ingots from his arms, and gave them to the two of them, "Do you remember?" ”
"Go on the road!"
Gao Xiaoliu laughed twice, "He asked you if you had been in the casino that night, and had you ever gone out in between?" ”
"What do you say?"
"Of course I said you were in the casino, and our brother counted."
"Do you think he believes it?"
"I'm afraid that it may not be, because he also asked me: What clothes did you wear when you came, what clothes did you wear when you left, and whether there were any blood stains on your body."
Hearing this, Chai Jie's voice paused obviously, "That'...... How do you answer? ”
Gao Xiaoliu spread his hands and said, "I just said that it was too long and I forgot." ”
Duan San suddenly said, "Brother Chai, you won't really have anything to do with your father's case, right?" ”
Chai Jie scolded: "Let your mother's fart, Lao Tzu will not do such a thing if he is not a thing!" I just had a bad stomach from eating, and I was delayed for a long time to get on the tuba. ”
"You also know what virtues those arrest quickly, and if they can't find the murderer, they will arrest people to take the blame, and I have to guard against it."
Duan San let out an "oh", "That's good." ”
"You two listen, this is the last time, don't ask me for money in the future, please."
Chai Jie unceremoniously ordered the eviction.
"Okay, good, I'll see you ...... later"
Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San didn't care, and walked out of the Chai house step by step.
Chai Jie slammed the door shut, turned around and walked back into the house.
Zhao Lin stood in front of the window, his ears following Chai Jie's footsteps like wings.
Liang Song and He Qingquan saw that Zhao Lin fell into "contemplation" again, and they were not surprised, and continued to eat wine and food.
Because of the room barrier, Zhao Lin couldn't locate Chai Jie's specific location, but he could hear the constant sound of footsteps and slightly heavy breathing.
Chai Jie's heart is a little messy!
After a while, Zhao Lin heard Chai Jie say to himself: "It shouldn't be, how can you suspect me?" ”
"No, I must have gone to find the eldest brother and the second brother as well, and I am not the only one staring at me."
After being quiet for a while, Chai Jie said with annoyance: "Blame me for being too timid, those things should have been disposed of a long time ago, and it will always be a disaster at home." ”
Those things?
Zhao Lin frowned, his Adam's apple vibrated at high speed, and he adjusted the "receiving power" to the maximum to collect the sound from the direction of Chai's house.
Soon, there was the sound of heavy objects moving in the room.
The sound was muffled and seemed to be a piece of furniture.
"There is not much difference between ancient and modern routines for hiding things, either under the bed or in the cracks of the wall."
Zhao Lin guessed in his heart, and heard Chai Jie gasp twice, rest for a while, and move something away.
This voice was very familiar to Zhao Lin, it was the sound of masonry rubbing, and then there was a sound of rustling.
"Clothes?"
Zhao Lin felt that the evidence appeared, turned around and gestured, put down a small piece of broken silver on the table, and walked towards the outside of the wine shop.
Liang Song has been with Zhao Lin for a long time, and knows that he has some unknown skills, and he has become accustomed to it.
Tao Er was stunned and simple-minded, he only knew how to do things according to Zhao Lin's instructions, only He Qingquan was confused.
Zhao Lin led people to Chai's house, and when he passed the street corner, he saw Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San waiting here.
Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San said in unison: "Catch the master." ”
"Don't talk, follow behind."
Zhao Lin commanded, and listened to the movement in the house as he walked.
After a while, everyone came to the door of Chai's house.
At this time, a series of footsteps sounded in the house, Zhao Lin estimated the distance according to the number of steps, Chai Jie walked at least twenty meters, passing through multiple rooms.
"Where is he going?"
Zhao Lin was suspicious, it was broad daylight, Chai Jie would never take things outside at this time, right?
He closed his eyes and tried to outline the trajectory of Chai Jie's movements.
After a while, the footsteps stopped.
Then, Zhao Lin heard a "crackling" sound.
He suddenly looked up and saw a wisp of black smoke rising from above the Chai family's house.
At this time, it was noon, many people were cooking, and white cooking smoke rose from the roof, only the smoke of the Chai family was black.
"He's burning clothes!"
A thought flashed in Zhao Lin's heart, and he raised his foot and kicked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, the gate of the Chai family was extremely strong, and it was not kicked open.
"Who? In broad daylight, you dare to break into a private house! Chai Jie shouted outside, with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Check the water meter!"
Zhao Lin riveted all his strength and kicked open the door.
"What are you doing?"
Chai Jie stood in front of the hall with an angry expression, but when he saw Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San behind Zhao Lin and the others, his face changed suddenly.
"Tie it up!"
Zhao Lin glanced at Chai Jie's charcoal-stained palm and went straight to the smoking room.
The stove room was filled with black smoke and a burning smell.
Zhao Lin held his breath, picked up the burning stick by the door, and took out the clothes and shoes in the stove.
The clothes were half burned, the boots were mostly intact, and there were a lot of blood stains on them.
Zhao Lin's heart was relieved, with these two things, he could basically be convicted.
However, to be on the safe side, the murder weapon must also be found.
Out of the stove room, Liang Song and others also arrived.
Chai Jie was roped around his neck, wrapped around his back and cut his arms, and tied up a strong knot.
Zhao Lin threw his clothes on the ground, "Where is the knife hidden?" ”
Chai Jie straightened his neck and asked rhetorically, "What knife?" ”
"Still hard-mouthed."
Zhao Lin sneered, looked around, and walked towards the east chamber, thinking back to the number of steps Chai Jie had taken just now.
He stopped as he passed the transept.
The transept is not large, with some miscellaneous items piled up inside, and a patent leather mottled mahogany cabinet stands in the corner.
There are traces of dragging on the ground near the chest.
Zhao Lin walked over and dragged the box aside.
There were several one-foot-square green bricks under the box, and he pressed them one by one, and when he pressed the innermost green brick, it was obviously loosened.
Zhao Lin took a step back, pulled out the iron ruler at his waist, reached into the gap between the bricks, and pried open the green bricks, revealing an irregular soil pit.
After a few flips of the dirt, a knife handle gradually revealed.
Zhao Lin stretched out his hand and grabbed the handle of the knife, and upward, a snow-bright steel knife appeared in front of everyone.
Chai Jie's body shook, and the blood on his face faded.
There was a sound of inhalation at the scene, and Gao Xiaoliu and Duan Qing, including He Qingquan, were all dumbfounded.
