You die and die

When passing by a row of shared bicycles, Yuan Che stopped and asked Ke Ran, "Can you ride a bicycle?"

"meeting."

Yuan Che took out his mobile phone, unlocked a bicycle, and stepped on it: "Let's walk the path that Li Jiran walked. Li Jiran said that he started from the 'Bailing' KTV over there." Yuan Che pointed and " Sing Ba" said another KTV next door.

Ke Ran took a look at this bicycle. It was one of the few with a rear seat, but the rear seat was narrow. He shook his head: "It's better not to use it. I'll just follow along."

Yuan Che pointed to the car next to him with his chin: "What are you thinking? I asked you to buy one yourself."

Ke Ran reacted immediately, and hurriedly unlocked the other car.

They turned into the commercial street along the road that Li Jiran said. There were two passages on the left and one on the right. Yuan Che pointed to the right, and then took the lead to ride over.

The headlights illuminated the square inch in front, even though I knew it was very flat, I still couldn't help but be careful.When riding, I can feel that something is overwhelmed from time to time, making different sounds, it feels like ice cream skin, plastic bags.

It seems that although the shops have all moved away, there are still occasional patrons besides the cleaners.

After Yuan Che rolled over a plastic bag, he saw a small alley in front of him and immediately stopped the car.

Ke Ran, who was following behind, wobbled and stopped beside him: "It's too unsafe to ride a bicycle in such a dark place."

"It's okay to walk here during the day, but the light is too poor at night. Li Jiran said that he set an alarm clock for twelve o'clock, and he probably came here because he was in a hurry."

The last time they saw this small alley when they came during the day, it was a wasted space, probably designed for the overall effect of the entire building.Now this alley has become a place where dirt and dirt are hidden. In windy weather, a lot of garbage will be swept here.

Ke Ran lifted the car forward, facing the entrance of the alley, and took a photo with the flashlight on his phone.He parked the car, walked into the rectangular space, put his phone on the ground with the lights up, and stood in the middle.

What Yuan Che saw was a figure projected obliquely on the wall:

"Li Jiran said that when he saw this shadow, he rode right over it because he was afraid. People here should also be able to hear the sound of his riding, and even see him."

"That's why the murderer chose to move the body somewhere?"

"But he didn't move too far, because it was too late, or because he couldn't do it, or it didn't matter if he did it or not?"

"Probably both."

"Since there are all of them, why would he move the corpse from upstairs to downstairs? Wouldn't that be very troublesome?"

"That's why it has to be done."

"Luo Meijiao left in her own clothes. Why did she change into work clothes?"

"The murderer probably has a girlfriend."

"Why do you say that?"

"If you ask me to change clothes for a woman, there will be many mistakes and omissions."

"When the corpse was found, it was already inflated, and there were no mistakes or omissions." Even so, Yuan Che took out his phone and dialed Ling Xiaoyu's number.

He recounted what he learned about Luo Meijiao at KTV.

Ling Xiaoyu immediately understood and said: "I paid special attention to this. The underwear she was wearing was not wrong. There is no problem anyway. The hooks were evenly straightened due to the swelling of the corpse, so there should be no hooks that were not hung when wearing it. Situation. In addition, the deceased was wearing silk stockings, and the stockings were not wrong. If someone else put them on, the silk stockings are the most difficult to deal with. So it should not be put on by others. Except for shoes. "

"That Luo Meijiao, can you estimate her weight before she was alive?"

"Her weight is about 118 catties, which is plump."

After Yuan Che thanked the forensic doctor, his brows were already knotted.He walked over to the railing of this passage and looked down into the clearing.Ke Ran turned off the phone light and stood quietly beside Yuan Che.

"There's something wrong here." Yuan Che said, "Do you have the feeling that the more clues you have, the farther you are from your destination?"

"There are many things that don't make sense." Ke Ran looked down, "The body was found in the room below?"

"Ah."

"Maybe Li Jiran took the opposite path."

"We haven't confirmed which road he took. We'll ask him tomorrow." Yuan Che turned around and turned his bicycle around:

"Go back, I have to stay up late tonight to watch the video. Do you remember..." Yuan Che looked at Ke Ran and immediately denied himself, "You don't remember. Yu Guang's assistant said that it was after eleven o'clock on the 3rd KTV. We want to see what time they come in and what time they leave."

Back in the game, the two ate a bowl of instant noodles that Liu Hecheng had prepared in advance.

I went to see Liu Tian, ​​who was behind the scapegoat.

Liu Tian looked very simple and honest, with a little nervousness and panic on his face.From the moment Yuan Che entered the door until he sat down, he kept staring at Yuan Che.

Yuan Che poured a glass of water for Liu Tian, ​​and went straight to the point without going around in circles:

"Do you think anything special happened the day the ice pick was thrown?"

"It seems that there is nothing wrong."

"When did you find out that the ice pick was missing?"

"I just discovered it yesterday. After summer, I used less ice cubes. We all use ice boxes to store ice. I used a little more yesterday, and I didn't store enough, so I wanted to poke a few pieces with an ice pick. But I couldn't find them." Arrived. I remember the last time I used it was the night of the [-]rd, and I received it. I asked no one and they said they didn’t see it. I was like if I forgot to put it there. It’s thin and long, and it might fall It can't be found in that gap."

"Haven't you looked for it?"

"I found it. Except for the big guy who can't move, I searched for other places."

"Is there monitoring in the place where you prepare fruit and wine?"

"No. It's not necessary. We will hand over and count the quantity in each shift, register every time we buy wine, and check the count with the cashier at the front desk when we get off work, so we don't have to worry about losing wine, fruits and vegetables."

"Is the workshop always occupied?"

"Not necessarily, most of the time there are people."

"Does the door lock when no one is around?"

"The door is relatively hidden, and outsiders can't see it. It's like a wall. In addition, there are our people walking around in the corridor all the time, and it's like a security guard. Therefore, we don't lock the door when we go in and out. We go in and out all night. It’s too troublesome to open and lock the door.”

"You will think about it, at that time on the night of the third, is there no one in that room?"

"I don't remember exactly. I went to the toilet twice and there was no one in between."

"How long does it take you to go to the bathroom?"

"Three or five minutes. Not long."

Yuan Che looked at his hands that had been rubbing together on his knees and the eyes he had been staring at him since he entered the door.

Dare to look directly at him, which means that he has no guilt about what he said and done, but his direct look is a bit too much, almost looking at him without blinking.

When Yuan Che asked this, he realized that he was wrong.This Liu Tian may be a careless person, but if someone told him in advance how to deal with the police, then he should also be the kind of person who does things according to the boss's orders.

Apparently he called their boss after he arrived.Usually, when an employee encounters a situation where he is taken away by the police, he will try his best to hide it from the employer.After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, being called away by the police has something to do with breaking the law.

But this Liu Tian called the boss immediately. It was collusion in advance to make excuses, and he didn't tell anything about it.

Yuan Che paused for a moment. He stood up first, turned around twice, then suddenly turned around and slapped the table, shouting sharply, "Did you kill Luo Meijiao?"

The sound made Liu Tian jump up from the chair in fright, his body lost his balance, and he fell backwards, shouting in panic: "I didn't, I didn't kill it."

When he got up from the ground, the expression on his face had completely collapsed. Liushenwuzhu looked left and right, it seemed that Luo Meijiao's ghost was wandering around him.His eager clarification was trembling: "When I saw her, she was already dead. Really! You believe me, comrade policeman, I am a good citizen!"

Liu Hecheng, who had been taking notes by the side, patted his chest to soothe his frightened heart. He was about to complain, but was taken aback by Liu Tian's sudden self-confession.

Yuan Che put away his judge-like ferocious face just now, and walked over to help Liu Tian up:

"I know it's not you, you are at most a witness. Come sit down and tell me what happened?"

Liu Tian was about to cry from fright, and now he looked at Yuan Che in fear, as if he was afraid that the slap that Yuan Che slapped the table just now would hit him.

Yuan Che sighed, thinking to himself how difficult it is for the captain.Every time the captain of the interrogation is a bad face, he is a red face.It turns out that the side effects of being a white face are so strong.

He gestured at Liu Hecheng: "You ask. Ke Ran records."

After speaking, he walked to the corner by himself, found a chair and sat down to listen.

Liu Tian really wanted to cry this time, he already realized that he was blown out of the bottom just now.

But what he said, the water that was spilled, even if he lent him a hundred courage, he would not dare to speak back.Besides, he was already scared out of his wits.

He held the cup and drank the water in it, and when he wanted to tell the truth, he felt calm instead:

"I was the first to see her.

In the middle of the night, about 12:30.There are not so many guests all night, and the order for drinks is almost the same.I just want to find a place to take a nap.I opened a private room and saw Luo Meijiao lying there, motionless.I went to call the store manager, and the store manager came over and felt that he was dead. "

Liu Hecheng interrupted him and asked, "You said she was out of breath. What kind of posture was she in, and did she have any wounds on her body?"

Liu Tian shook his head: "No, I didn't see any injuries on my body, just lying on the sofa with my legs spread apart, and one leg is still under the sofa, which is quite awkward."

Liu Hecheng nodded: "Go on."

Liu Tian licked his lips: "I think someone was killed. I told the police. The store manager said that if the police were called, the whole store would be ruined. Who would want to play in a place where people died. Besides, I was the first to find out. It is easy to be suspected of being the murderer. At that time, there is no way to tell. He said the best way is to carry Meijiao out."

Yuan Che interjected: "Wait a minute, which door did you go through?"

I don't know if he was frightened just now, but Liu Tian shuddered when he heard Yuan Che's words: "We went through the back door. The store manager transferred the people away, and then we carried the body outside to the street where no one walked. .This way people don’t die in our store. It doesn’t affect our business.”

Yuan Che asked: "The back door you are talking about is the double door near the inside? Does the one lead directly to the outside?"

Liu Tian nodded again and again: "Yes, that is the door we usually use to buy goods."

Yuan Che fell silent after asking, and Liu Hecheng signaled him to continue.

Liu Tian looked at Yuan Che timidly, and then said again: "I'm done talking, that's all."

Liu Hecheng said impatiently: "Where did you put her, did you just leave her like that or did you do something else?"

"It was not far from the street. We were afraid, so we left her there and ran back."

"Didn't you do anything else? Didn't stab her with a knife?"

Liu Tian hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, absolutely not. I swear!"

Ke Ran said softly:

"When did you find out about the loss of your ice pick? After throwing the body, or before?"

"I used it before that. I haven't used it since. I don't know when I lost it."

"That night, apart from moving Luo Meijiao away, did you leave that room at any other time?"

"Go to the toilet. After I came back, I don't know if it was because I was nervous, but I always went to the toilet. Before I dared to go alone, I asked my master to go with me."

"Anything else special?"

"Also, the lock was lost, the lock on the back door. We all thought that someone opened the door and took it outside. No one dared to go out to look for it that night, so we replaced it with a new lock."

"Is it a U-lock?"

"Yes."

Yuan Che asked: "Tell me about Luo Meijiao's situation. Did anything special happen to her that day?"

Liu Tian wiped the sweat off his nose and said, "Luo Meijiao works part-time here, and she only comes here when there are many people busy. On the 3rd, it was a holiday, and there were many people. Later, a man in a private room touched him , she ran out of the private room, and happened to run into a group of guests. That guest was very righteous, and stood up for her, and made that old pervert speechless. Later, I heard Luo Meijiao talking to that guest, as if they still knew each other Our store manager appeased both sides and sent two bottles of wine and a fruit plate respectively. Let's forget about it.

Yuan Che stood up suddenly, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Liu Tian: "Is he the one who rescued Luo Meijiao?"
