187. The Lost Brooch

Before he had time to catch his breath, Director Yang asked again, "Have you seen this brooch?" ”

"Well, that brooch is Zhu Shi's."

Lawyer Gu Gong had to tell the truth.

"Zhu Shi?"

Tian Chunda couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Even if this is Zhu Shi's brooch, it is not certain that she has anything to do with this murder, maybe she lost this brooch a few days ago......"

Tian Chunda said in a hoarse voice.

"However, this is not the case. I remember it very clearly. Zhu Shi pinned this brooch to his chest last night. Because last night when I was leaving, I accidentally bumped into her, and the brooch was still hooked into my vest...... That's why I'm so impressed with this brooch. Lawyer Gu Gong said.

When Director Yang and Tian Chunda heard this, they couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.

"When was that?"

"Well, it's about ten o'clock!"

In this way, Zhu Shi should have come to the lookout after lawyer Gu Gong left.

But, at that late hour, will Zhu Shi come to this kind of place?

Thinking of this, Tian Chunda couldn't help frowning again.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the stairwell, and then Yuan Zhuang's ugly face appeared at the staircase of the lookout.

"Mr. Gu Gong, please come over for a moment."

"Oh? Is there something wrong with me? ”

Lawyer Gu Gong walked to Yuan Zhuang's side, and after they talked for a while, lawyer Gu Gong immediately said to everyone: "I heard that Mrs. Hong Xiangsong has something to tell me, I will come when I go." ”

"Okay, please tell Miss Zhu Shi by the way and ask her to come here."

Captain Tian Chunda explained with a solemn face.

After lawyer Gu Gong went down the stairs, Yuan Zhuang did not leave immediately, but stood in the middle of the stairs and looked at the lookout uneasily.

"Yuan Zhuang, is there anything else?" Tian Chunda asked with concern.

"There's something weird, but I don't know if to say it......"

"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!"

Director Yang urged.

"There's one less boat at home."

"A small boat?"

"Yes, I used to make rounds of my house every morning when I got up, but this morning I found that the sluice gates were open. Since the locks were closed until yesterday evening, I thought it was strange, so I went to the dockyard to have a look, but I didn't expect a ship to be missing. ”

Director Yang and Tian Chunda glanced at each other in surprise.

"So, someone rowed the boat out last night?"

"I don't know, anyway, there's just a small boat missing at home......"

"And the sluice gates are still open?"

Tian Chunda added.

I saw Yuan Zhuang nodding unhappily.

Tian Chunda then looked back at the lake, but there was not a single boat on the lake except for the raindrops falling from the sky.

"Is there any special markings on Hong Li's boat?"

"Yes, our ships will be painted with black paint with the words 'Hong Lijia'."

After Director Yang whispered a few words, the three plainclothes policemen immediately left the lookout and went to look for the small boat whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Yuan Zhuang, thank you. If you find anything unusual in the future, please feel free to inform me of Captain Wada. ”

After Yuan Zhuang awkwardly bowed to Director Yang and agreed, he went downstairs with a bang.

Director Yang looked back at Tian Chunda.

"Captain Tian, what do you think about this matter? Could it be that the murderer used a small boat to transport Zhu Wenwu's body? ”

"Well...... this"

Tian Chunda hesitated to look at a misty lake.

"In this way, it is possible that the murderer was an outsider, because he rowed away."

"No, he could have thrown the body into the lake halfway through, then went ashore and came back over the hill."

"Isn't that weird? Since he dared to place the leader of the deceased in the 'Chrysanthemum Garden', there was no need to deliberately hide the corpse! ”

"Well, you have a point in saying that......"

Director Yang stared blankly at the puddle of terrifying blood stains, and after a while, shook his head weakly.

"Captain Tian, this murder case really puzzles me. Why did the murderer cut off the head of the deceased, and why did he replace the head of the chrysanthemum doll with the head of the deceased? Alas! I always feel hairy in my heart. ”

At this time, Zhu Shi happened to walk slowly here.

I saw that her face was pale, and even her eyes were much lighter. However, despite this, it still does not detract from the abundance of her beauty; And that kind of timidity, the expression of lack of support; On the contrary, it brings out her beauty even more, like a flower in the rain, which makes people can't help but want to love her.

Captain Tian coughed lightly, smiled and greeted Zhu Shi: "Ah! I'm sorry to call you here. Please sit here! ”

Zhu Shi glanced at the terrible pool of blood on the ground, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide in fright, and then immediately turned his face away and sat on the wicker chair restlessly.

"Zhu Shi's team, do you recognize this brooch?"

Zhu Shi looked at the chrysanthemum brooch in Captain Tian's hand, and the whole person suddenly stiffened.

"This ...... I recognize, it's my brooch. ”

"That's it! So, when did you lose it? ”

"Hmm...... Probably last night! ”

"Where?"

"I think it's lost here."

Tian Chunda continued to ask Zhu Shi: "So, you came here last night?" ”

"Yes."

"What time is it?"

"Around eleven o'clock."

"It's so late, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Zhu Shi rubbed his handkerchief with both hands, shook his head and did not answer.

"Miss Zhu Shi, things have come to this point, I hope you can cooperate with us and tell the truth."

"Actually, I met with Zhu Wenwu here last night because I wanted to talk to him about some personal matters."

Zhu Shi's voice trembled slightly, and his shoulders twitched.

"You met with Zhu Wenwu here last night?"

Captain Tian Chunda's eyes were full of doubts and surprises, staring at Zhu Shi's pale side face.

Her beautiful face seemed to hide a great secret.

"What is it for? Did Zhu Wenwu ask you out? ”

"No, it's not."

Zhu Shi said in a firm tone:

"It's me who asked Zhu Wenwu to come here around eleven o'clock."

As soon as she finished speaking, she shifted her gaze to the lake.

At this time, a light breeze is blowing on the lake, and the raindrops on the lake seem to be gradually increasing.

Tian Chunda and Director Yang looked at each other again.

"Oh, I see......"

Tian Chunda cleared his throat, and then said, "You just said that it was some private matter, but what is it?"

Zhu Shi faintly drew his gaze back to Captain Tian's body.

"It's come to this point, and I'm going to have to be honest."

As if she had finally made up her mind, she said loudly: "Grandpa Hong Li loves me very much, just like he loves his granddaughter; You all know this very well, right? ”

Tian Chunda and Director Yang both nodded in unison, after all, after reading Hong Li's will, it is not difficult to understand how much the late Hong Li loved Zhu Shi.
