Chapter 11: Two Kinds of Testimony
Du Yuanwang calmed down and asked them to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then asked the maid to prepare tea.
"Anyway, you know about it, so if Mr. Detective has anything you want to ask." Du Yuanwang looked at Liang Yuanque and said.
In Du Yuanwang's eyes, the hairy boy in front of him was only 14 or 5 years old, and the clothes he was wearing were not only retro, but also very old, and the more peculiar thing was naturally his long hair, with his unopened young body, he really thought it was Zhuang Youjie who brought a tougher maid when he saw it for the first time.
His appearance, if it weren't for the neatness of his clothes and hair, he really looked like the dress of Hanako at the intersection, Du Yuanwang was still muttering in his heart until this time, how could there be such a person in the police station?
But he did see this kid come out of the police station with Zhuang Youjie, and Zhuang Youjie trusted him to write a package ticket.
Forget it, don't think about it, haven't you written about it in some of the bizarre novels he's read, and gods are generally weirdos.
Now that Du Yuanwang was already open, Liang Yuanque began to ask presumptuously, "Did you send someone to call Shopkeeper Tian to report the case to the police station?" β
"Yes," Du Yuanwang nodded, "I have a friend who heard his words in the restaurant, and I thought that I could help Miss Lan a little, after all, I couldn't come forward directly, so I had to arrange for someone to find the shopkeeper." β
I'll go, Liang Yuanque thought to himself, it turned out that this word had been passed on for a second hand before it reached Young Master Du's ears, so maybe it was described as if it was like the old demon of Montenegro came to their Liucheng.
"Since it's inconvenient for you to come forward, how did the police department's confession be recorded?" Liang Yuanque continued to ask.
"I arranged for the secretary to go to the police, stuff them with some money, let them know, and don't record it." After Du Yuanwang answered, he suddenly reacted to something, "Wait, they still recorded it, right?" β
"Uh," Liang Yuanque said after a moment's thought, "how can I say it, I remember it but I don't remember it completely, someone wrote down the confession, but didn't remember your name, and the result is even more eye-catching." β
In fact, it just attracted the attention of Liang Yuanque, and the detectives in the police station didn't take this joke-like confession to heart.
"Oh, I'm really ......" Du Yuanwang snorted and lowered his voice, "Tsk, a bunch of rice buckets!" β
Liang Yuanque didn't bother with this anymore, anyway, as long as he could find the owner of that strange confession, "Young Master Du, you said that you saw Miss Lan at two o'clock that night, but in fact, you were still together at that time, right?" β
Du Yuan glanced at Zhuang Youjie on the side, and saw that the other party was not shocked, and his eyes only revealed clear stupidity, so he nodded, "Well, I happened to be sending her to the Shen family at that time." β
"Are you sure you didn't misread the time?" Liang Yuanque narrowed his eyes.
"That's definitely right," Du Yuanwang said, shaking his wrist, "I've always carried my watch, I saw that it was half past seven that day, and I was afraid that it would be unsafe late at night, so I got up to send Miss Lan back, and when I was near Shen's house, I was afraid of being discovered, so I left first as she said, who expected, who expected that it would be our last ......" Du Yuanwang said, his emotions were about to get out of control again.
Young Master Du is a person who has accepted new ideas, and the watch he brings is also a new timekeeping method, but the time he said is half past seven and half at night and two quarters of the hour, even if there is an error, it will not be a full quarter of an hour.
That's weird.
Shen Yuexin went to find Miss Lan at the beginning of the day, and then found the body, and Young Master Du was very sure that Miss Lan was still with him at the second hour.
Is one of them lying, or is one of them just getting the time wrong?
Maybe the moment Shen Yuexin said was the time when she left her room, and she walked to her sister's room...... Hey, no, no!
Liang Yuanque pinched his palm with his fingertips to clear his mind.
He also took a general look at the layout of the Shen family, from Shen Yuexin to Shen Yuelan's room, even if she climbed over, it wouldn't take a quarter of an hour!
What's more, the family who heard the screaming that night also confirmed that it was the hour of the year, and more importantly, Liang Yuanque himself also heard the noise from the Shen Mansion just after the hour of the hour.
Is that Du Yuanwang lying? He was so sad that he was like this bird, and he shouldn't look at it!
So Liang Yuanque's eyes rolled, and he asked again, "Hey, that young master Du, take the liberty of asking, is your expression accurate?" β
"Hey," Young Master Du was unhappy when he heard this, "Can I still use a block to break the watch?" I'm made in Germany, and I can't do anything about it! β
"Okay, okay, I'm not here for the sake of rigor!" Liang Yuanque hurriedly waved his hand to appease him, thinking that Germany is not German, I have only seen German-made pistols, and I really don't know about watches.
When Liang Yuanque questioned Du Yuanwang, he was not only analyzing his answer, but also observing his expression.
Some of Young Master Du's answers, Liang Yuanque had already roughly guessed in his heart, and from the analysis of his expression, he was indeed not lying.
Regarding the testimony of time, what Du Yuanwang said is true, and looking at his sincere love for Miss Lan, it seems that it is not appropriate to put him in the ranks of the suspected murderers.
Oops, weird, since both sides are telling the truth, then where is the problem?
Du Yuanwang raised his eyes and knocked on the little detective in front of him, who still looked thoughtful, and couldn't help but say, "Why, you still don't suspect that I will be the one who killed Miss Lan?" β
"Before the truth comes out, everyone around the deceased will be suspected," Liang Yuanque said out of the rigor of a detective, "Young Master Du, don't worry, I'm not targeting you alone." β
But these words did not calm Du Yuanwang's mentality, he pointed at Zhuang Youjie and said, "Then why don't you doubt him?" β
From his point of view, Zhuang Youjie and Liang Yuanque are in a cooperative relationship, that Liang Yuanque is a detective, Zhuang Youjie is not, and he is still the fiancΓ© of the deceased, why is he not suspected.
"Because he's my employer." Liang Yuanque subconsciously said, completely forgetting what he had just lied to Young Master Du.
"Huh?" Du Yuanwang was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say that you were sent by the police station?" β
"Uh, uh, ah, yes," Liang Yuanque, who had a fast mouth and a faster brain, immediately explained, "It was Young Master Zhuang who went to the police station to entrust me." β
Du Yuanwang seemed to have some doubts about his words, but after all, he had seen them enter and leave the police station as casually as they followed out of the toilet, and he didn't care about it anymore.
Those letters exchanged between Shen Yuelan and Du Yuanwang, Liang Yuanque read the content carefully, and after feeling that it was useless, he returned them to Young Master Du as a souvenir, and the time was close to noon, and Liang Yuanque and the two left the Du family.
The Du family's mansion is located in the emerging luxury residential area of Liucheng, and as soon as you walk out, you can see a lot of coachmen waiting here to work, Zhuang Youjie called a rickshaw and took him back to the police station with Liang Yuanque.
Seeing the meal, in fact, Young Master Zhuang planned to take Liang Yuanque to find a restaurant to solve the lunch first, but seeing that he had been frowning since he left the gate of the Du family, he seemed to be concentrating on thinking about things, so he didn't dare to disturb and directly called the coachman to the police station.
At the police station, after Inspector Chang sent the shopkeeper Tian away, he didn't know what to do, and remembered what the broken child said when he left, he came back to see the files, so he took out all the files first, spread them on the desk to check, but looked left and right, and never saw any clue.
He sneered at the pile of rags, the police level in Liucheng has always been said to be below average, what is the need to study such a file?
Inspector Chang himself was in a higher-level unit, and he was suddenly notified by the leader to transfer to Liucheng, and he didn't even have time to clean up his belongings, so he kept wondering if he had inadvertently offended the leader on the train and found a reason to exile himself.
Although he came to Liucheng to be a detective, the detective in such a small place can't grasp an opportunity for promotion in his life, which is also a bright promotion and a secret descent for him.
Thinking like this, Inspector Chang couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, walked to the window and took out the cigarette case in his pocket, thinking that he might not go back to the crime scene in the afternoon to have a look, although there was little hope, but if the case was solved, his broken career might have a turnaround.
As soon as he took out the cigarette and put it in his mouth, the office door was vigorously pushed open, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Thank you, Inspector, knowing that I want to read it, I have laid out all the files in advance!"
