191. Alibi
"Captain Tian, according to your thoughts, there is someone in this family who is conspiring with someone, and one of the accomplices pretended to be X last night and appeared at the Kashiwaya Hotel in the lower autumn leaves, and came here around eleven o'clock, transported Zhu Wenwu's headless body in a small boat, and threw the body into the lake, docked the boat at Guanyin Cape, and then went back to Kashiwa House to sleep. In other words, they are playing tricks to make people think that the murderer is an outsider. At the same time, he also left the bloodstained handkerchief in Kashiwa House, and the accomplice did not leave Kashiwa House until this morning, quietly returned to Hong Li's house, and even pretended that nothing had happened, didn't he? ”
"That's right, but there was a family meeting last night, so everyone has an alibi."
Director Yang's face suddenly became ugly.
"Really? Does everyone have an alibi? ”
When Tian Chunda heard this, he couldn't help but look at Director Yang's face in surprise.
"Director Yang, is there someone who doesn't have an alibi?"
"Yes, there is one person who may have a hard time presenting an alibi."
"Who is it? Who is this person? ”
"Yuan Zhuang!"
Tian Chunda was shocked as if he had been hit on the head by a lead block falling from the sky.
He looked at Director Yang for a long time before he said in a voice that couldn't be lowered: "But according to Zhu Shi's testimony, when Zhu Wenwu wanted to be rude to her last night, Yuan Zhuang appeared at the right time......"
Director Yang answered this point very simply.
"Zhu Shi's words may not be reliable."
As soon as these words came out, Tian Chunda showed a puzzled look again.
Seeing this, Director Yang deliberately coughed dryly and said, "Of course, this is just my hypothesis, and theoretically speaking, this assumption can be established. If Zhu Shi and Yuan Zhuang conspired to kill Zhu Wenwu, then what Zhu Shi said would be unreliable. However, for the sake of prudence, I will still ask my subordinates to carefully investigate Yuan Zhuang's whereabouts last night, but I don't think he can prove where he was last night! ”
It is normal for Director Yang to have such questions in his heart, after all, Zhu Shi originally had the motive to kill Zhu Wenwu, and last night was a great opportunity.
She deliberately called Zhu Wenwu to the lookout, and that time was just right for the suspicious X to leave the red leaves and go to Hong Li's house. What's more, didn't Yuan Zhuang know better than anyone how many ships there were, and where they were moored?
Moreover, Zhu Shi himself has the mind to plan this plan; plus Yuan Zhuang is so loyal; As long as she gives an order, no matter what Yuan Zhuang will do, he will do his best to complete it.
Tian Chunda couldn't help but shudder when he thought that peerless beauty had murdered people with his ugly giant.
*******
Hong Li's house, located on the shore of Hongye Lake, is a very complex, labyrinthine building, and Hong Xiangsong and Zuo Qing live in one of the side rooms.
Although it is said to be a side room, it is not narrow at all. It is called a side room only because the other rooms lead to the main hall through a corridor; Only this room has a separate corridor that leads directly to the entrance in front of the door.
In other words, if the person who lives in the side house does not get along well with the person in the main house, as long as he enters and exits the hallway, he can live a completely independent life.
Since Zuo Qing returned to his hometown, he has hardly left this room. He always stayed in this 16-square-meter room, and rarely even talked to his mother.
The rubber mask, which lacked life and expression, stared at a corner of the dimly lit room, and no one knew or cared what he was thinking. Now, his presence has brought an indescribable discomfort to the Hongli family.
Even his mother, Hong Xiangsong, would feel creepy when she saw this terrible rubber mask.
Yes, even Hong Xiangsong was afraid of this masked man - although she always tried not to show a scared look in front of everyone, she was indeed afraid of him.
Now Zuo Qingshi was sitting at the desk in the room, staring intently at a certain point.
In front of him was a fully open round window, through which the churning water of the lake could be seen.
Torrential winds and rain whirlpool on the surface of the lake, and several small boats float on the surface of the lake, ready for the wind and rain.
Zuo Qing propped his hands on the desk and stretched his neck to look out of the window, but at this time, the voice of his mother Hong Xiangsong came from the next room.
"Zuo Qing! Close the windows and watch out for the rain! ”
Hearing this, Zuo Qing's shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, and after answering the "yes", he closed the glass window.
Suddenly, as if he had discovered something terrible, his whole body tensed as if he were on pins and needles.
Zuo Qing stared at the surface of the desk with both eyes, and saw that ten fingerprints appeared on the very clean desktop.
It was the fingerprint he inadvertently left when he was looking out the window with his hands propped up on the table.
After staring at these fingerprints for a while, Zuo Qing immediately took out the handkerchief from the sleeve of his kimono and carefully wiped them away.
He rubbed back and forth several times, as if just one wipe was not enough to reassure him......
While Zuo Qing was doing this, Hong Xiangsong next door was talking to a very special person.
This person is about the same age as Hong Xiangsong, an old woman with short hair, wearing all-black civilian clothes and a black cape.
She looked very scary as if she had Parkin's disease, with one eye bulging, one sunken eye, and a scar on her forehead, but fortunately she had a noble temperament and exuded good cultivation all over her body, so that people could not be afraid.
This person's name is Miyagawa Xiang, and she is a guzheng teacher who comes every three months or six months. She has a lot of students in this area, and every time she comes to Red Leaf Valley, she always goes to Hong Li's house to visit Hong Xiangsong first, and then walks to other students' homes.
"By the way, teacher, when did you get here?"
"I arrived last night, and I wanted to come here immediately, but because it was a little late, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the house, so I stayed at the Red Leaf Hotel for one night."
"Alas! You don't have to be so outside! ”
"No, if you were the only one here, I wouldn't have seen you, but I heard that your relatives are here, so I ......"
Teacher Kawaka couldn't help but look around, her voice was soft, beautiful, and calm.
"That's right! I heard at the hostel that there was a terrible murder here last night? ”
"Huh? You've heard about it, huh? ”
"Yes, alas! It's horrible. Originally, I thought that since such an unfortunate incident happened in the house, I would just go straight to Red Leaf Town, but then I thought about it, so let's come here to say hello to you first! After all, it was so unexpected. ”
"Teacher, since you came to the cold house, I hope to give me more instructions on how to play the piano! Why don't you stay in the cold house for a while? ”
"That's ......"
