soldiers in front

Lotte Amusement City was closed for business, and 10 minutes after closing, several police cars stopped in the parking lot one after another with their lights flashing. Lou Yue got off the leading police car, followed by the investigation team officers in police uniforms.

"here!"

Ren Erdong stood in front of the north side door of the playground and waved to Lou Yue.

Lou Yue walked towards him quickly: "Where is Captain Xia?"

"Waiting for you inside, Xiao Chen'er, you take two people and run there first, our leader is like a mad dog now, if you wait a little longer, you will curse."

"Okay, let's go first."

Xiao Chen ran past them with a few people and entered the playground first.Lou Yue and Ren Erdong followed quickly, even speaking at a faster pace.

Ren Erdong said: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Lou Yuedao: "Xixi found out that Jiang Zhinan asked his assistant to contact the moving company in mid-July, and the set of chime clocks he bought was moved to his villa in Butterfly Valley. The chime clocks are placed in the living room on the second floor. In addition to the chime, there is a VR racing game console in the living room.”

Ren Erdong instantly thought of Jiang Zhinan's car accident from Jiang Zhinan's racing game console: "Racing car?"

Lou Yue looked cold: "Yes, the racing car. If Jiang Zhinan was using that game console, then the place where Jiang Zhinan got into a car accident might not be Panshan Road at all, but the living room on the second floor."

Ren Erdong lagged behind because of distracted thinking, and when he figured it out, Lou Yue had already thrown him more than ten meters away, and he quickened his pace to catch up with Lou Yue: "Let me take a look, you mean that Jiang Zhinan didn't have any sex with anyone at all. Car accident, the 'last words' he left at the scene of the car accident were actually words he said while playing games?"

Lou Yue said concisely: "Yes."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Isn't the sound of the chimes we've all heard evidence?"

"This evidence is not impressive enough. At present, we can't conclude that the carrier of the sound is the chime bell in the living room on the second floor of Jiang Zhinan's lakeside villa. You can't do a paternity test on the sound and the sound carrier, right? Besides, even if you are right , Jiang Zhinan didn't have a car accident, his 'last words' were just swear words while playing games, so how can he explain that he called Deng Yujie before the accident? Also, if Jiang Zhinan—”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lou Yuexiu twitching her brows, her always calm and stern eyebrows showing anxiety: "Don't ask me, I don't know either." Xia Bingyang, who was eating ice cream in front of the cold drink stand, pushed Ren Erdong forward and said, "Go and ask him."

The person in charge of the amusement park sat on the same bench as Xia Bingyang. While Xia Bingyang was eating ice cream, he stared intently at the policemen coming and going from the exit of the haunted house. His face was anxious and hesitant, as if he was being searched by the police.

"Officer, what are you looking for?"

asked the person in charge.

Xia Bingyang dug out the ice cream in the box with a wooden spoon, and said calmly, "Look for evidence that Mr. Jiang died in the haunted house."

The person in charge turned pale and was speechless.

Ren Erdong also heard this sentence, and his face changed. He was about to ask Xia Bingyang for clarification, when Xia Bingyang dug his ice cream eyelids and said without lifting his eyelids: "Dongzi, accompany Manager Liu to help our people investigate. on site."

Manager Liu heard that he had given him an order, so he followed Ren Erdong to the haunted house where the police gathered.

Lou Yue sat on the seat vacated by Manager Liu, looked at Xia Bingyang and asked, "What's going on?"

Xia Bingyang picked up the cardboard box containing the ice cream, stepped on the bench under his buttocks, glanced at the exit of the haunted house, and said, "I suspect that Jiang Zhinan died in the haunted house rather than in a car accident."

When Lou Yue heard the words, she subconsciously felt that it was ridiculous, and pointed to the camera under the eaves of the cold drink shop facing the exit of the haunted house; "This thing captured the scene of Jiang Zhinan and Yu Jiao walking out of the haunted house, and also captured Jiang Zhinan pretending to be in front of Yu Jiao. After answering the phone call, Jiang Zhinan left the playground directly along the road of the Jockey Plaza. Lang Xixi checked that the video was not faked."

Xia Bingyang put the last scoop of ice cream into his mouth, then crumpled the carton and threw it into the trash can. He turned to the girl selling ice cream and asked for a tissue to wipe his hands before saying, "I don't suspect that the video is fake." The gesture of wiping fingers After a pause, he looked up at Lou Yue, his eyes were dark and gloomy: "I suspect it's fake."

Lou Yue frowned tightly: "...a man-made fake? You mean, the person who entered the amusement park with Yu Jiao wasn't Jiang Zhinan? That's impossible. Two days ago, when Xiao Zhi and I came here to tune the video I have asked the staff, including the manager Liu just now, they all have impressions of Jiang Zhinan, and three or four staff members have talked with Jiang Zhinan. Moreover, Jiang Zhinan's face was captured by the camera of the children's water castle. Both personal and physical evidence are acceptable. It proves that it was Jiang Zhinan himself who came to the playground with Yu Jiao on August 8."

Xia Bingyang continued to wipe his fingers, lowered his head and laughed, "I didn't say that Jiang Zhinan was not the one who entered the amusement park, but that Jiang Zhinan was not the one who entered the haunted house."

Lou Yue didn't understand: "...what do you mean?"

Xia Bingyang's cell phone rang an information notification tone, and when he saw the photo Lang Xixi sent him, he raised the corner of his lips and smiled quietly, then put the screen of the cell phone in front of Lou Yue, and said: "Now I can be sure, we watched it in the video before The man who arrived and walked out of the haunted house with Yu Jiao was not Jiang Zhinan."

Lou Yue took a closer look, her expression suddenly serious.

Jiang Zhinan was wearing a black Versace polka-dot shirt and a pair of suit pants on the day of his disappearance, but he had no other obvious accessories.Later, when they searched for Jiang Zhinan in the video, they were also looking for Jiang Zhinan wearing a polka-dot shirt and suit pants. They also successfully found the scene of Jiang Zhinan walking out of the haunted house and driving away from the amusement park parking lot.The factor they were able to confirm was that the figure and attire of the person in the video matched Jiang Zhinan to a high degree, and it could even be said to be exactly the same.In addition, Jiang Zhinan's car crashed in the quarry later, which proved that Jiang Zhinan died in a car accident after leaving the playground.

But now Xia Bingyang found the video of 'Jiang Zhinan' walking out of the haunted house again half an hour after 'Jiang Zhinan' left the playground.

No, this time 'Jiang Zhinan' was helped out of the haunted house.

Lou Yue originally thought that she had misread the time, so she carefully checked the time in the upper right corner of the captured video, and it was indeed 3:41 pm.The time they found out before that Jiang Zhinan and Yu Jiao walked out of the haunted house and broke up at the Jockey Plaza was 3:12.

Lou Yue took his mobile phone and stared at Jiang Zhinan who was wearing a polka-dot shirt and suit pants, a hat and sunglasses, and the man who put Jiang Zhinan's arms around his neck and supported Jiang Zhinan.After a while, she returned the phone to Xia Bingyang, rubbing the palms of both hands heavily to wipe off the cold sweat on her palms, and said, "I understand."

Xia Bingyang looked at the man holding Jiang Zhinan in the photo, and said with a sneer: "'He' knew that we would not continue to search the video if we found Jiang Zhinan walked out of the haunted house and left the playground, so he returned to the haunted house half an hour later and took Jiang Zhinan away in a grandiose manner. .is smart, but not prudent enough."

Lou Yue turned her head and looked at the exit of the dark haunted house. It seemed to be a cold deep pool, with a slight chill coming out in the light heat of August.

After a moment's pause, she said, "Then Yu Jiao must know."

Xia Bingyang slanted her lips, and sneered even worse: "Not only did she know about it, but she also cooperated with her temporary husband to act in a play, otherwise how could we be so easily fooled by her."

"The man who walked out of the haunted house with Yu Jiao at 3:10 was actually the murderer of Jiang Zhinan?"

"Jiang Zhinan must have died at their hands, but I don't think the place where they killed Jiang Zhinan was a haunted house."

"Then Jiang Zhinan is in a coma?"

"Probably."

Xia Bingyang pondered for a while, and said, "Tell Lao Lu to do an autopsy for Jiang Zhinan. Also, ask Li Zhiming to bring Yu Jiao and Deng Yujie back to the police station."

Lou Yue followed suit before asking: "Deng Yujie?"

Xia Bingyang's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly: "It was Deng Yujie's phone recording that turned our investigation direction to Jiang Zhinan's car accident, and we found Jiang Zhinan's crashed car in the quarry, so we took it for granted that Jiang Zhinan did die in a car accident It now appears that Deng Yujie's phone recording is a crucial part of this scam, and the call recording she provided is the physical evidence that really confuses us."

Lou Yue did as he asked, picked up the phone, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Xia Bingyang looked at her: "Huh?"

Lou Yue smiled and said, "Why did we trust Yu Jiao so much? She's an actress."

Xia Bingyang fell silent, and flashed back to Yu Jiao's beautiful face, empty eyes, and her superficial childish scheming...

That's right, they shouldn't trust an actor in the first place, no matter how stupid and innocuous she's pretending to be.Xia Bingyang could almost see that every time Yu Jiao escaped from the police station, she would stand outside the police station and cast a mocking glance at the office building of the police station.

Yu Jiao is not stupid, she is simply too smart.

When Xia Bingyang and Lou Yue were sitting silently, Ren Erdong came out from the haunted house and shouted at them: "Come and see! We found something!"

Xia Bingyang only concluded that the real Jiang Zhinan had no chance to get out of the haunted house, but was left in the haunted house by his wife and the murderer. As for where the murderer hid him so that later tourists would not find him, Xia Bingyang didn't know.Until now, with the assistance of Manager Liu, the investigation team has searched through the haunted house of hundreds of square meters, and finally found an abnormality.

The haunted house is no longer pretending to be ghosts, and the incandescent lamps illuminate the 'cave' brightly.Xia Bingyang followed Ren Erdong to the 'mortuary', where he tried to murder Ren Erdong a few hours ago.

There were seven single beds neatly arranged in the morgue, and fake female corpses lay on the beds. The long hair of the female corpses fluttered to the ground, and their bodies were covered with white sheets.A group of police officers gathered around a single bed against the wall, searching for any possible traces on the dummy and the bed.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xia Bingyang already understood seven or eight points in his heart, stopped beside Manager Liu and said, "What's going on? Manager Liu."

Manager Liu wiped his sweat frequently with a handkerchief, his face paler under the incandescent light: "Ah, it's like this, ours, this—vomit!"

While speaking, Manager Liu couldn't help but keep looking at the woman's body covered in fake blood that was erected by the police against the wall, and suddenly turned around and ran to the side to retch.

Xia Bingyang glanced at him, and dragged Ren Erdong to his side: "Say it."

Ren Erdong: "You have also seen that there is a fake dead person lying in this room, and the fake dead person is covered with a white cloth. However, some courageous tourists often remove the white cloth from the dead person, which directly creates a visual effect on the later tourists. Weakness. So Manager Liu thought of a way to stick Velcro on the four corners of the white cloth of the corpse, and stick it to the bed, so that tourists would not be able to remove the white cloth from the dead body. We just checked these corpses , found that the white cloth covering the corpse on bed No. [-] was covered upside down, and the Velcro was not glued to the bed, but facing upwards. So—"

Xia Bingyang summed up indifferently: "So the white cloth on the body on bed No. [-] has been lifted, which means that the 'dead man' on the bed has been tampered with by living people." He smiled coldly and put his arms around Ren Er East Shoulder: "It's very smart to put a real corpse on the bed of a fake corpse."

Ren Erdong remembered the scene of Xia Bingyang strangling his neck in the morgue to frighten him a few hours ago, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you already guess that the murderer killed people here, so you used me as an experiment."

Xia Bingyang said calmly: "Yes, I am very satisfied with the reaction you gave. No one will take a second look at you if you shout like that. Even if I kill you, no one will know it."

Ren Erdong's neck felt cold, and he didn't know whether the chill came from Xia Bingyang or from the 'female corpses' behind him.

Xiao Chen said loudly: "Captain Xia, I found a hair on the bed!"

Xia Bingyang didn't go over and looked at him: "Isn't it the dummy's hair?"

Xiao Chen affirmed: "No, this is a real person's hair, and it's still short."

"Pull the bed and people back, close the team!"

Li Zhiming and forensic assistant Xiao Li sat on the steps of the office building eating boxed lunches, chatting about Jiang Zhinan who was being dissected inside.Xiao Li kept looking at his watch, took a few mouthfuls of rice quickly after eating for more than 5 minutes, put down the lunch box and ran back to the office building: "Help me wash out the lunch box!"

Li Zhiming looked at his remaining half-box lunch: "You are too wasteful, you haven't finished eating yet."

As soon as he picked out the few leftover ribs from Xiao Li and put them in his lunch box, he saw Xia Bingyang's car leading three police cars back.He carried the lunch box down two steps and greeted Xia Bingyang: "Group leader, Yu Jiao and Deng Yujie have already brought them back."

"Are they in the same room?"

"No, Yu Jiao is in the inquiry room, and Deng Yujie is in the detention room."

Xia Bingyang approached and glanced into his lunch box: "Do you have ribs today?"

"Probably gone now."

Xia Bingyang switched seamlessly between gossiping and doing business: "Have the results of Jiang Zhinan's autopsy come out?"

Li Zhiming said: "Not yet, Xiao Li said that we have to wait for a while."

"You stay here, and tell me immediately when you come out."

"Yes."

Xia Bingyang went upstairs quickly, followed by Ren Erdong and Lou Yue.On the fourth floor, Xia Bingyang pointed to No. 10 interrogation room and said, "You two go in and get her statement within [-] minutes."

After speaking, he turned his head and entered the office of the technical team, walked straight to Lang Xixi, bent down while supporting the back of Lang Xixi's chair, and said, "Have you found it?"

Lang Xixi tapped the keyboard with ten fingers, stared at the computer screen and said: "I found it, I will type out the consumption record now."

Soon, Xia Bingyang had two more pages of information in his hands. Before he left the technical team, he used a disposable paper cup to catch a glass of water, drank the water all the way upstairs, pushed open the door of the fifth-way detention room and walked in.

"Team Xia."

The clerk working in the detention room saw Xia Bingyang push the door in, so he stood up.

Xia Bingyang gestured to the staff member, and the staff member went out immediately, not forgetting to close the door for him.

"Officer Xia."

Deng Yujie, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up anxiously like a little white rabbit.

Xia Bingyang pressed his palm towards her: "Sit down."

Deng Yujie sat back with her handbag in her arms, she didn't dare to look around casually, and lowered her eyes in a polite manner.

Xia Bingyang put half a cup of tea in his hand on the coffee table, dragged a stool and placed it diagonally across from her, separated from her by the coffee table, looked at her for a moment, and then smiled, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Deng Yujie showed a cute smile on her sweet face: "Not yet."

"I'll ask someone to cook for you. The food in our unit's cafeteria is not bad."

"Don't bother, I'm not hungry."

"I'm hungry, so I'll bring you one by the way."

Deng Yujie smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

Xia Bingyang sent a message, then put the phone on the coffee table, looked at Deng Yujie and was speechless again, and smiled after a while: "I didn't notice last time, your bracelet is so beautiful. What brand is it?"

Deng Yujie glanced at him in surprise, then stroked the platinum bracelet on her left wrist, and said, "It's a very small brand, you may not have heard of it."

Xia Bingyang smiled and said, "Niche? Cartier's PANTHERE series is not a niche. The bracelet on your hand costs at least 6 yuan."

Deng Yujie looked slightly embarrassed, lowered her head unnaturally, and said, "This is a gift from my boyfriend, and I don't know how much he bought it for."

Xia Bingyang still smiled: "Boyfriend? You mean Lu Xin who works in Ocean Securities? Didn't you two break up two months ago?"

Deng Yujie suddenly raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

Xia Bingyang said calmly and calmly: "Yes, we are investigating you." Then, he threw the information in front of Deng Yujie: "Look."

Deng Yujie's eyes flickered, as if she had anticipated something, she picked up the two pages of information with trembling fingers, and the more she looked down, the more rigid her face became.

Xia Bingyang said: "The holder of the bank card with the end number 472190 is Jiang Zhinan. Jiang Zhinan has issued a secondary card for this card. Although the card swiping record does not show the holder of the secondary card, we found this according to the card swiping record. The store where people swiped their card to pay, and then retrieved the surveillance video of the store." He smiled, looked at Deng Yujie and asked, "Guess who is the person who used Jiang Zhinan's secondary card to make purchases?"

Deng Yujie put down the materials slowly, hugged her arms and bowed her head in silence. After a long time, she said, "I haven't been to those places, you guys, you made a mistake."

The expression on Xia Bingyang's face suddenly sank, and he said expressionlessly: "Ms. Deng, your lies are really not clever. If you don't admit it, I can take you to the store you bought and let the staff there personally Identify you. And, is that card still on you? If we search your body and your home, do you think we won't find that card?"

Deng Yujie didn't dare to look up, her lips trembled, and she hesitated to speak: "I, that card, I—"

Xia Bingyang's voice was not high, but it was extremely intimidating: "I'll give you one last chance, don't lie to me again."

Deng Yujie took a few short breaths with a pale face as if she was having trouble breathing, before saying, "I didn't kill anyone, Jiang Zhinan's death...has nothing to do with me."

Xia Bingyang said: "Whether it has anything to do with you or not is not up to you to decide. Now I ask you what, what do you answer."

"Okay, okay."

"August 8, was Jiang Zhinan with you?"

"He took me to Butterfly Valley Villa."

"Yes or no."

"Yes."

"On August 8th, did he set off from Butterfly Valley Villa into the city?"

"Yes."

Xia Bingyang stared at her, and calmly asked the most crucial question: "Did you make him wear a Versace polka-dot shirt and black suit pants? It was the same suit he was wearing when he disappeared."

Deng Yujie's expression became even more flustered: "That's me—"

Xia Bingyang interrupted her in a deep voice: "Yes, or not."

"......Yes."

"After Jiang Zhinan disappeared, did you deliberately give me the call records stored in the mobile phone, so that we could mistakenly think that Jiang Zhinan died in a car accident?"

"Yes."

Xia Bingyang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then said coldly, "I'll give you 3 minutes to explain."

Deng Yujie cried, "It's none of my business, Officer Xia, I've been used! She was the one who found me and asked me to put Jiang Zhinan in that suit on the morning of August 8th, and it was she who asked me to put that suit on." I'll hand over the phone recording to you. I didn't intend to kill anyone! I really didn't know that Jiang Zhinan would die!"

Xia Bingyang looked at her with heavy eyes: "Who are you talking about 'she'?"

"It's Jiang Zhinan's wife, Yu Jiao!"

Xia Bingyang's eye creases trembled, and there was a gleam of light in his dark eyes: "Why did she ask you to do those things?"

"She said that she hated Jiang Zhinan and wanted to divorce Jiang Zhinan, but Jiang Zhinan held the money very tightly, and she couldn't get it. So she thought of a way to find someone to kidnap|kidnap Jiang Zhinan and demand a ransom from Jiang Zhinan, so that Jiang Zhinan would Tell her the bank card password, and she will get the money! She will share the money with me equally, so that we can leave Jiang Zhinan! I thought Yu Jiao really just wanted money, but I don’t know what she wanted kill!"

"You said that Yu Jiao instigated you to assist her in kidnapping Jiang Zhinan?"

"Yes! What I said is true!"

"Where's the evidence?"

"Yu Jiao asked me to meet at the art exhibition. Although she didn't show her face, she told me she was Yu Jiao! She also gave me a mobile phone to keep in touch with her. The mobile phone is at my house, you go Find it!"

Before she finished speaking, the door of the internment room was pushed open, and Yu Jiao rushed in crying with pear blossoms in the rain, and hugged Xia Bingyang's arm: "Officer Xia, I was wronged! It's my husband's mistress, the one named Deng Yujie's woman is using me! She wants to find someone to kidnap|kidnap my husband, and then ask my husband to pay a ransom, so that I will get my husband's bank card password, and after I get the money, I will talk to her—"

"Yu Jiao! You're talking nonsense!"

Deng Yujie stood up abruptly and stared at Yu Jiao angrily.

Yu Jiao just saw her and was stunned for a moment, then slapped her across the face: "Bitch! You're the one who killed my husband!"
