Chapter 28 Section 27

The next morning, as soon as the noodle shop opened, Lynch took Xiao Song into the shop. When Zhu Fulai saw them, he hurried out to greet them: "Comrade police, we don't have breakfast in the shop, so come at noon." Lin Qi smiled and said: "Let's not eat breakfast, I'll talk to Zhu Huiru about the situation." Zhu Fulai suddenly showed nervousness on his face: "It's...it's about that little Taibao again? Ouch, his death is related to the situation." We have nothing to do with each other, that night he asked for fried rice with eggs, and asked my sister to deliver it, and after my sister delivered it, he made a fuss, which caused my sister to fall when she ran away, and the fall was terrible."

"Really?" Lynch said noncommittally, and took a look at Zhu Fulai. One of his legs was long and the other was short. He was crippled, and he was a real cripple, so it couldn't be a fake cripple.This shows that the man in the video is not Zhu Fulai.He is crippled, which can also explain why Zhu Huiru delivered the takeaway instead of him. At this time, Zhu Huiru came out of the kitchen when she heard the sound and frowned slightly when she saw them: "Comrade policeman, didn't you finish your questioning yesterday?" Lynch smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you again, because you were the last one to see the deceased, so there are still details that I need to check with you." Seeing the displeasure on Zhu Huiru's face, he hurriedly added, " I’m sorry to trouble you, but it’s every citizen’s duty to cooperate with our police.”

Zhu Huiru had no choice but to respond: "Of course, of course." "By the way, can we talk in another place today?" Although Lynch asked politely, the expression on his face was that the other party could not resist. Zhu Huiru asked carefully, "Where are you going?" "Well... just take us to the river, and tell us about the situation at that time in detail, it will help our investigation." "Okay." Zhu Huiru lowered her head and walked out nervously. "Hey," Lynch looked at her curiously, and said, "Is your leg okay?"

Zhu Huiru paused instinctively, and then suddenly realized that she was walking too fast these few steps, because the sprain was no longer painful at all, and she was nervous for a while and forgot that Luo Wen taught her to continue limping for a few days. Since the policeman came to their store today, she felt that this person was completely different from the two of them yesterday.Yesterday, the two of them clearly felt that they were two inexperienced novices, but today, every time this person speaks, every gesture makes people feel that this person seems to know everything.And the police rank on the policeman's shoulders today is higher than yesterday's. Although she can't understand the level represented by the police rank, she can be sure that this person must be higher than yesterday's two.It seemed like a difficult role to handle.

Zhu Huiru didn't know whether it was her guilty conscience or the right feeling. She felt that this man had been observing and testing her since he entered the store. Thinking of this, she became even more nervous, but Luo Wen taught her that no matter what the situation, the concept of expressing nature must be rooted in her heart. Faced with Lynch's question, she had no choice but to act accordingly, turned around and said, "The pain in the ankle is not too bad, and I can basically go." Lynch nodded: "It got better very quickly. I sprained my foot the night before yesterday. I couldn't walk at that time. It doesn't hurt today."

Zhu Hui didn't know how to answer at this moment, so she smiled perfunctorily. Lynch asked again: "How is your knee injury?" He noticed that Zhu Huiru had gauze on her knee, and a small wound that had scabbed was exposed under the gauze. Zhu Huiru followed Luo Wen's instructions, and replied in the original form: "It's scabbed over, and it's probably healed up in a few days. It doesn't hurt now, it's just very itchy." She was wary of what Lynch would ask, but Lynch stopped asking, and just said: "Okay, let's go to the river first, and finish asking about the situation earlier, and I don't want to disturb your business."

Saying that, the three of them walked out of the store and walked towards the river.Along the way, Lynch didn't ask about the specifics of the case, but asked where she was from, when she came to Hangzhou, how long the store had been open, and how the business was usually like chatting. When he got to the river, Lynch stopped, turned around, and looked straight at Zhu Huiru. Zhu Huiru timidly avoided it, but felt it was unnatural, so he had to turn his gaze to another policeman, Xiao Song. Lynch said: "Ms. Zhu, can you repeat what happened that night?" "Well, I walked here with my takeaway and saw that Xiaoliu... that person was standing on the fitness machine," she pointed forward to the nearest waist twister, which was indeed what Xu Tianding was standing on at the time Location, she continued, "I put the takeaway on the ground, ready to go—"

"Wait," Lynch smiled meaningfully, "You forgot to collect the money." He watched Zhu Huiru's expression. Zhu Huiru replied without a pause: "When he came to our store before, he asked for fried rice with eggs. I told him that he hadn't paid for several times before and would not send it away. He threw away a hundred yuan and said that the previous few times, including today's money, would be settled together. No, let me send it over." Lynch nodded, looking at her expression, it didn't seem like she was lying - of course, Zhu Huiru's statement was the fact of the night, and there was no need for her to lie.

"Go ahead." Lynch motioned. "Then he came over and told me not to leave in a hurry, to sit and chat on the grass, drink beer together, and said that he bought beer just for me. I refused, he grabbed me, and forced me to go Of course I resisted, but he was so strong that I didn't break free and was pulled into the grass inside by him." "Where exactly?" Zhu Huiru led them to the grassland, which was in another direction from where the crime happened that night, and pointed, "Probably here." "Okay, you go on." "Then he started to touch me. I could only resist desperately and fought with him. After a lot of effort, I finally pushed him away and ran to the road, calling for help. He chased after him. Fortunately, a friend of mine passed by at this time. He saw that I was running on the sidewalk, and another person came, so he stopped chasing me. As a result, when I was almost running to the side of the road, I fell and became like this. Then he happened What, I don't know."

"When you had a conflict with him, where did you put that box of takeaway?" "When I first got here, I put it on the ground." This is of course true. "Do you remember where you fell?" "Of course, there was a sharp stone that tripped me." Zhu Huiru led them to a flake-shaped stone. The stone was stuck in the soil with the sharp side facing up. This was what they did according to Luo Wen's instructions that night. . Lynch squatted down, took out the gloves from his pocket, pulled out the stone, and looked around carefully. There was faint blood on the sharp edge. He put the stone into the evidence bag, handed it to Xiao Song, and then said: " What's your friend's name? Can you give us his contact information?"

Zhu Huiru followed suit and reported Guo Yu's name and phone number to Xiao Song. Lynch said again: "Do you still remember how long the conflict between you and Xu Tianding lasted?" "About..." Zhu Huiru recalled, "A few minutes." "How long exactly?" "Maybe four or five minutes." "Did you and your friend go straight back after you were injured?" "No, at that time I felt my ankle was sprained, and my knee was bleeding a lot, so I couldn't walk. I was afraid that... that person would chase me, so I went to the opposite side of the road with Guo Yu to fix my foot first, and then I went back of." "How long are you and Guo Yu staying here?" "Well...it's been a long time, about ten minutes." Lin Qi gritted his teeth slightly. The other party's answer today seemed to have no loopholes. She and Xu Tianding clashed for four or five minutes, and stayed with Guo Yu for ten minutes by the side of the road. Seven minutes result.Does she really have nothing to do with the case? He asked again: "Since the little Taibao tried to do something wrong to you, why didn't you call the police?" "Call the police?" Zhu Huiru sneered, "What's the use of calling the police? Even if the police station arrests him, he will be released within a few days. That person will definitely come to the store to make trouble for revenge in a few days. We are a small business, how can we dare?" If you cause trouble, you can only swallow your anger." As he spoke, he showed a pitiful look. Lynch was a little embarrassed. The common people dare not call the police. In the final analysis, it is the police's problem. He thought for a while and said, "By the way, you and Guo Yu stayed on the side of the road for so long, did anyone else pass by? ?” "Yes." "Do you still remember who passed by here?" Lin Qi thought to himself, as long as she tells who passed by and checks later, as long as she can confirm that Zhu Huiru was indeed injured that night and stayed by the side of the road for more than ten minutes, then her The suspicion is gone. Zhu Huiru shook her head: "I don't remember, I didn't see anyone I knew." Lynch thought to himself, this answer is also normal, because if a stranger passes by you, let alone a few days later, you won't be able to remember it after a few hours. He thought for a while, and immediately came up with a plan, and tentatively asked: "Among the people who passed by that night, did any of them walk past you with two dogs? Because we investigated and asked a resident, he said that he walked the dog that night , I saw a man and a woman by the side of the road, I don’t know if it’s you.” Lin Qi's words were fabricated, and he was waiting for Zhu Huiru's answer.Their investigation did not ask a person out for a walk with the dog at all. If Zhu Huiru catered to his question and said that he seemed to have seen it, then Zhu Huiru would be very suspicious. Unexpectedly, Luo Wen has repeatedly told the two of them long ago, remember not to think from the perspective of the police, and don't try to perfect the police's questions. If you know it, you know it. .She thought for a while, and said, "It seems that I didn't pay attention." Lynch nodded, remembering the only beer can with fingerprints on it, and finally asked, "Have you ever touched Xu Tianding's beer?" "No, he asked me to drink it, but I didn't take a sip." "No, I mean, have you ever touched a beer can?" "No." "By the way, what were you wearing that night?" "Hmm...a little purple shirt." Zhu Huiru's answer was also the same as that shown in the surveillance, which proved that she was not lying.Lynch thought for a while, and said, "Can you lend me the clothes for a while and take them back for a look?" "This..." She hesitated for a moment, deliberately pretending to be puzzled. "Don't worry, we are doing a routine investigation, and the clothes will be returned to you." "okay then." Afterwards, Lynch followed her to the apartment in the community, took her shirt, and left with Xiao Song. After walking away, Xiao Song said: "Captain Lin, Zhu Huiru should not be suspected." Lynch curled his lips: "The answer is pretty tight." "So you still doubt her?" Lynch was also noncommittal and said: "Her expression was a bit strange just now, very unnatural. I have an inexplicable feeling that she is lying." Xiao Song doesn't think so: "Facing police inquiries, most people will be nervous, especially if it's a murder case. If she's not nervous at all, it's more like pretending. Also, now that the basic situation is clear, In order to seduce Zhu Huiru, Xu Tianding deliberately ordered takeaway and bought a bag of beer. Zhu Huiru's description of Xu Tianding is completely consistent with the current investigation results. The autopsy results showed that Xu Tianding had fried rice with eggs in his stomach. Zhu Huiru had just fried rice with eggs When it was delivered, since Xu Tianding wanted to insult her, he would definitely not eat egg fried rice. He must have waited for Zhu Huiru to leave and he felt bored before he started eating. Moreover, Zhu Huiru and Guo Yu had already left the scene before 10:42. Xu Tianding died at 10:50, the two of them had an alibi." Lynch didn't express his opinion, but said: "Okay, then go and find out the situation with Guo Yu. If the two statements are not different, then it seems that the murder case has nothing to do with them." On the other side, when Zhu Huiru was walking alone on the way back to the noodle shop, her heart was beating violently. It seemed that she had passed this test again today. I hope the police will not come again in the future.She prayed silently in her heart.
