I am the strongest sheriff on the surface

This is a newly opened KTV. The decoration is quite luxurious. As soon as you enter the gate, you will find a hall of about ten square meters.

A person, whose face cannot be seen, is kneeling upright in front of the statue of Guan Gong, bowing his hands on the ground, maintaining a prostration posture. Looking from behind, he is a devout believer, praying for peace and righteousness.

A ray of sunlight pierced through a gap in the clouds and came in directly from the door, just like the gospel shining, just covering the bronze statue and the man at the same time.

The bronze statue was shining brightly, and the man's body was like a golden bodyguard, and the whole scene was solemn and solemn.

Xiao Cheng even heard the sound of chanting scriptures.

Yes!

If it wasn't for the sharpness from the back of the neck!
The man's neck!
It is piercing the Guan knife held in the right hand of the bronze statue!

It's like when performing prostration, he didn't dodge the sharp point of the knife at all, and poked it abruptly!
by his side...

There is a bunch of blood on the wall, obviously formed by blood splashing upwards!
The highest point even touched the ceiling!

The bloodstains slowly slid down the wall, forming the appearance of a strange flower tree.

Seen from the side, the flower tree is like fireworks sprayed from his neck, and it is in full bloom with blood-red splendor!

From the wound on his neck, blood continued to flow out, and his kneeling legs were completely soaked in a dark red.

That piece of dark red...

It is still slowly expanding, slowly devouring the scope of the marble on the ground.

The smell of blood was overwhelming!

Xiao Cheng and Chen Shi looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Le Yun also came in, and he was also in a daze, muttering something, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

Xiao Cheng cautiously stood on the edge of the bloodstain, stretched his neck to watch...

Looking at the situation, this person is...

Thanks to Guan Gong?
then……

Was stabbed in the neck by the second master with a knife?

How bad is this person?
Can't even look at the bronze statue of the second master and want to stab him to death?
Xiao Cheng felt that his thoughts were a little ridiculous, but then felt creepy again.

The bronze statue is a dead thing, this kind of thing can never happen!

but……

Also, looking from behind, this person is tall and has long arms, so he looks familiar!

Why does it seem to be...

"Xiao Cheng, go and ask about the situation." At this moment, Chen Shi frowned and interrupted Xiao Cheng's thoughts.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng withdrew his gaze, and beckoned to a defense team member who had already been waiting at the side.

"Have you confirmed the identity of the deceased?"

"Not yet. We have been here to protect the scene of the crime. The body has not been touched. We have controlled all the people on the scene, but we haven't conducted detailed inquiries yet."

"Are there any witnesses to the incident?"

"No, there was only the deceased in the hall at the time, and no one saw what happened."

Xiao Cheng nodded, and continued to ask: "Are there any suspects?"

The joint defense team thought about it and replied: "There is no one who is particularly noteworthy, but there is something strange. Just now I heard someone in the crowd say that there was no such bronze statue in this place, and it was moved here at noon. It seems a bit too coincidental that something like this happened, right?!"

Is it a coincidence?Xiao Cheng is not sure, how can there be so many coincidences in this world?

Think carefully, there is a cause and effect!
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "There are no witnesses, did this person come by himself?"

"No, there are three other people who came with him, but he got a call at the door and fell behind. Those who came with him all went into the private room first, so no one saw what happened."

"What about the reporter, who reported the case?"

"It was the boss who reported the case. I'll go and call him over."

After finishing speaking, the joint defense team member carefully bypassed the scene and ran towards the inside of the KTV.

"Wait, I'll go with you. The trace inspection team hasn't arrived yet, so don't spoil the scene." Xiao Cheng greeted Chen Shi, and followed along.

There is a lot of space inside the KTV, and the lights are all dark at the moment. It should be temporarily closed due to an accident.

A private room, guarded by defensemen in uniform at the door.

Pushing open the door and entering, there was only a middle-aged man inside, circling in circles on the ground with a face full of anxiety.

"I'm afraid they will collude, so the personnel are separated."

This kid is quite careful!
Xiao Cheng praised him and entered the private room.

Seeing someone coming in, the man inside stepped over and said anxiously: "Magistrate, I just run a shop and do business. This is none of my business. No one dares to go forward. I still reported the case. Let me tell you, I'm a serious person...!"

Xiao Cheng felt a little helpless, and looked coldly at the middle-aged man who was eloquent in front of him.

The man talked for a long time, seeing Xiao Cheng's unhappy face, he didn't open his mouth to speak, he slowly lowered his voice, finally stopped, and carefully looked at Xiao Cheng's face.

"Finished? Is it my turn?"

Xiao Cheng glanced at him angrily: "Are you the owner of this KTV? Where were you when the incident happened?"

"I'm the boss. In the afternoon, I sort out the accounts in the back door office. You know, my new business here has a lot of troubles, and the people below don't worry about it. I, the boss, have to do everything myself..."

The middle-aged boss began to talk eloquently again, until he was stabbed by Xiao Cheng's gaze, and then he strangled his tongue again.

"You answer whatever I ask you!"

How did you come across such a chatterbox?Xiao Cheng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "You reported the case? Did you discover the situation at the door?"

"I didn't find it. The waiter came to report it to me. I went over and saw that the wall was covered with blood, so I quickly called to report to the police."

Xiao Cheng nodded. This is also in line with human nature. When everyone sees something wrong, they will naturally find someone to take responsibility instead of taking responsibility for it themselves. The boss of this KTV is the best candidate.

Then he asked a few more questions, and the boss answered them in a reasonable manner, and his expression didn't look like he was lying.

It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the boss, because the store is newly opened, so there are not many regular customers, and this person is coming here for the first time, so the boss does not know him.

Of course, whether the two are related or not still needs to go through follow-up careful investigation.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Cheng pretended to ask casually, "The bronze statue of Brother Guan, you just brought it over at noon? People in business respect the God of Wealth, and you worship Guan Gong. Why, you used to eat on the road. ?”

After asking this question, Xiao Cheng let go of his perception, and every subtle expression of the boss, the speed of the heartbeat, was within the range of his perception.

It can be said that now Xiao Cheng is a humanoid lie detector.

"Where, that bronze statue doesn't belong to me. A friend sent it to me specially when he knew that I opened the business. I put it there first. I planned to move it out at night, but something like this happened. , why do you think I am so unlucky..."

The boss was telling the truth, neither his expression nor his heartbeat had changed in any particular way.

"What's the man's name? Do you have his address?
"Xiao Cheng hurriedly asked, interrupting the boss's chattering output.

"Oh, his name is Yin Guo, and his phone number is... Let me tell you the magistrate, I really don't have anything to do here, and I don't know him very well..."

Xiao Cheng ignored the boss who was still yelling about being wronged, and fell into deep thought.

Because, the long-lost system notification rang!
