Cuscuta

Chengxi found out the real murderer, he didn't want Ye Junchuan to go into danger with him, so he left alone, wanting to solve the matter as soon as possible.

It must be so, and nothing else could be possible.

However, how did Chengxi find out the real culprit in such a short time after leaving Xu Huan and Xiaoya's room?What did he discover?

If you don't want to understand this, you won't know where Chengxi is going.

Zheng Wei must have known the person who killed Zheng Wei. According to the testimonies, there was no alibi, only the five people who stayed in the hotel that night, Cheng Xi was not the murderer, and the rest Xu Huan, Xiao Ya, the elderly, middle-aged men... The murderer is among the four.

So far, it is the same as the previous inference.

The reason why the criminal police targeted Cheng Xi was that Cheng Xi and Zheng Wei were father and son, and they spent a long time in an orphanage because they were abandoned by Zheng Wei. He had a motive to kill Zheng Wei...but if the remaining four Among them, is there someone who has the motive to kill Zheng Wei?

At that time, the reason why it was ruled out that outsiders committed the crime was that Zheng Wei had been working in the Larry Hotel all these years after he was released from prison. Talking to people, always staying in the room after finishing work, rarely going out, and the staff have never seen anyone come to Zheng Wei.Moreover, the case happened in the middle of the night. After Zheng Wei died, the door of the hotel was still locked from the inside, which meant that the murderer had never left the hotel, and he was inside the hotel.

But what if Zheng Wei knew that person before he went to prison?

Like Cheng Xi, that person had been inextricably linked with Zheng Wei many years ago, and found Zheng Wei who was released from prison many years later, and killed him!

The person who meets the conditions is among the remaining four.

It couldn't be Xu Huan and Xiao Ya, they were both in their twenties, and they were only a few years old before Zheng Wei was imprisoned, maybe they were not even born yet, so it was impossible for them to know Zheng Wei.

The most likely one is that old man in his fifties—he is about the same age as Zheng Wei. Before Zheng Wei was imprisoned, the two probably had a close relationship. However, because the criminal police focused their investigation on Cheng Xi, they ignored him. at this point.

Ye Junchuan remembered that Xu Huan said that the old man lived in S City next door.

Cheng Xi disappeared four days ago. He must have gone to the nursing home in S City, but he didn't know the exact location of the nursing home where the old man was... There was still time!

Ye Junchuan didn't know the exact address, but it was impossible for him to tell the criminal police all this. In order not to arouse Lin Rui's suspicion, he stayed in the hospital until the infusion was over, and then left logically.

That night, he came to S city alone.

He guessed that the police's investigation of Chengxi hadn't extended to here, so he ventured to inquire about Chengxi near the station.He found nothing on the first night, so he stayed in a hotel next to the station, and continued the next day.

After traveling almost everywhere, he finally found a clue in a small shop selling cigarettes.

The owner said: "The night before yesterday, there was indeed a young man who bought cigarettes from me. Because there was little business at that time, I remember it very clearly."

(The day before yesterday? That’s right. Now Chengxi can’t use his ID card. Maybe he came here by a black car, so it took some time.)

"Is that man so tall and with such long hair?" Ye Junchuan asked quickly.

The owner replied: "The height is about the same, but I don't know about the hair. He is wearing a hat and a mask, so he can't see his face clearly."

(No mistake, it must be Chengxi.)

"Boss, do you know which direction he is going?"

The owner shrugged: "He asked me if I knew the location of the Fuxi Nursing Home."

Ye Junchuan's heart slowly settled down at this moment.

The old man lives in a nursing home. This is what I heard from Xu Huan. Maybe Cheng Xi found out the more specific location later. He is unable to move now. Even if he arrived at the Fuxi Nursing Home the night before, he would not be able to see the old man until yesterday... Maybe Chengxi is still there today!

Without further ado, Ye Junchuan hurried over by taxi.

The taxi shuttled back and forth between the unfamiliar city roads, but Ye Junchuan had no time to look at this novel place carefully, but couldn't help but think in his heart, hurry up, go faster.

The location of the nursing home is remote, and the car drove for nearly an hour.

After the car stopped, Ye Junchuan almost rushed out.

He approached the nurse of the nursing home and asked about Cheng Xi, and the nurse replied: "A young man did come here yesterday to look for Old Man He, but at that time Old Man He was running away indiscriminately, so we asked him to wait a while." , come back today."

"Then is he here today?"

The nurse nodded: "I've been here, I just left for less than half an hour."

gone?

Ye Junchuan collected himself and said, "Please let me meet He... old man."

Old man He was sitting on a recliner in the yard. He was in his fifties, but he looked listless, skinny, and looked like he was dying.Ye Junchuan was stunned immediately, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

(Can such a person really kill someone?)

Ye Junchuan approached and said softly, "Old Man He, what did the young man who came to see you this morning tell you?"

Old man He glanced at him: "He said that he was the same suspect as me in that murder case, and asked me why I went there for a trip because of my poor health." Although Old Man He's voice was soft, he spoke clearly. Look sane.

"Why?" Ye Junchuan asked subconsciously.

Old man He asked back, "Are you a suspect too?"

Ye Junchuan shook his head: "I am... the companion of that young man this morning."

"It's a companion, why didn't you go together?"

"I'm here to find him."

Old man He glanced at him again.

"Even an old man like me has had the last few days of freedom," said old man He, "What's more, it's too ugly to die here after staying in a nursing home for so many years after getting sick. "

Is this man really the murderer?Ye Junchuan was confused again.But if not him, who would it be?There is no doubt that the murderer knew Zheng Wei.

"That young man, before leaving, asked me if I knew the address of another suspect."

As for the other suspect in S city, there is only that middle-aged man, did Cheng Xi go looking for him?

Ye Junchuan hurriedly took a taxi and went to the address mentioned by old man He. He was half an hour behind Chengxi, and maybe he could catch up this time.

The middle-aged man's house is in the city center. It is daytime and it is a working day. That man must be at work, and Chengxi may be waiting near his house.

Ye Junchuan got out of the car and ran into the community. Old man He only said the name of the community, but he didn't know the unit number of the middle-aged man's house, which meant that Chengxi didn't know either. Here you can see the shadow of Chengxi.

But always got nothing.

Ye Junchuan gradually became restless in his heart. He was obviously close at hand, only a little bit away, but he couldn't grasp it just because of this little bit.

When he was spinning around in a hurry, Ye Junchuan suddenly heard a sound above his head.

He looked up and saw that in a room on the third floor of the building in front of him, there were two people wrestling into a ball.

Ye Junchuan almost stopped his heartbeat when he saw the flashing figure.

——It's Chengxi!

He rushed up to the third floor and knocked on the door desperately. Cheng Xi struggled to open the door. He was hit on the head, and blood flowed down his cheek.

Ye Junchuan pulled Cheng Xi behind him, and only then did he see clearly the appearance of the other person in the room.

This was indeed a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with an elite appearance, contrary to what he was wearing. At this moment, this man was holding a bloody desk lamp in his right hand, panting heavily, and looking at them with a ferocious face.

Ye Junchuan felt that this face was indescribably familiar.

He suddenly remembered - this is 81!
