Chapter 25 fourth quarter
The Brazilian coffee in Xia Bing's hand was already cold, and Stephen was operating the coffee machine behind the bar. The cast iron pulley made a "cheeping" sound. After turning for about ten seconds, he pulled out the wooden drawer at the bottom and poured out the coffee powder inside. Put it into the flask, and then cover it with filter paper... a series of movements, which are delicate and sexy in a slow manner.
So when Stephen came up to refill Xia Bing's glass, the latter felt flattered.
"Joanna's friends are my friends, please be more casual." Stephen's body exuded the sticky burnt aroma of coffee beans.
"Can we sit down and talk?" For some reason, Xia Bing was extremely confident when he remembered what Mr. Elier said, "All good detectives have the same eyes", because his ability has been recognized by excellent colleagues.
Stephen shrugged, sat across from him, and said with a smile, "What's the matter this time? Gao Wen's case has been solved, Elie has also arrested someone, what else can I help?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm looking for you today purely for personal matters." Xia Bing said hastily.
"Oh?" Stephen raised his right eyebrow, showing another playful expression that attracts women's admiration.
"I just want to ask, what is your relationship with Du Chunxiao, that is, Joanna?"
"Then what's your relationship with her?"
"I'm her fiance."
Stephen whistled lightly, turned his head and looked at Xiao Safengyu outside the glass window, as if trying to hide his smile: "Joanna's life is about to start again."
Xia Bing wanted to respond, but was cut off by a sharp scream.
Immediately there was the sound of banging porcelain, and the guests who were dining left their seats one after another, moving their heads back, because the blond woman who opened the door and came in was really scary.
Her hair was disheveled, her forehead was bleeding, her mouth was wide open, spitting out thick blood, as if her teeth had been pulled out, and only the bloody gums were open, so she looked even more evil.In particular, the kitchen knife held high in his hand was still shining brightly, contrasting sharply with the puddle of black liquid on the chest of the pink silk cheongsam, and the two arms were so white that they were covered with rough red particles.Because of the oral injury, although the weird and crazy woman yelled, she couldn't understand a single word.Seeing her rushing towards Xia Bing's table, the kitchen knife drew an arc like the first snow in the air, and the blade almost touched the tip of his nose.
His scalp felt numb for a moment, and he leaned back as hard as he could, and fell to the ground with the chair on his back. He lost all feeling in his buttocks, and could only watch helplessly as the woman rushed towards Stephen beside him.
Stephen didn't dodge, and only waited for the moment when her kitchen knife hit the front door, he kicked her in the stomach, and she screamed more and more, and bounced far away, just happened to fall on Xia Bing's body .Xia Bing subconsciously hugged her by the waist, but she was much plumper than him and surprisingly strong, so she broke free immediately and stood up to launch a second round of attack.Xia Bing watched the woman stand up, the tall figure covered his sight, he couldn't see Stephen, he only knew that Stephen was about to become her ghost...
At this moment, a strange but familiar bang came.The black shadow blocking Xia Bing's eyes suddenly stepped back, and then fell heavily on him, and he heard the rubbing sound of the excessively squeezed body.
After pushing the woman away, Xia Bingfang found that she had passed out with a blurred face.Although the body is still warm, the hair is mixed with the blood and rain, sticking tightly to the top of the head, the golden hair color has turned into a dirty brown red; the stain on the chest seems to have expanded a lot, and there is a stream of blood flowing from it The gurgling at the breast peak flows to the ground.
Xia Bing stood up reluctantly, saw the white Browning pistol in Stephen's hand pointing at him, and said, "It surprised you."
After Sergeant Eliye arrived, he smiled when he saw Xia Bing: "It seems that we really have the fate that the Chinese say."
But when Stephen was asked who the woman he shot dead was, he replied, "I don't know."
What's more interesting is that after Xia Bing went back and informed Du Chunxiao of the sudden attempted murder, she didn't analyze it in detail as usual, and just sat on the wicker chair in the front yard and smoked a pack of cigarettes.Her reaction made him scratch his heart, and he didn't dare to ask, but he couldn't help but said angrily afterwards: "If you are worried, go and see him yourself!"
After finishing speaking, he cleaned up dozens of cigarette butts on the ground with a broom, and went back to the house.
After that, the two never mentioned this matter again, as if Stephen had never existed.
Unexpectedly, ten days later, Eliye excitedly came to find Xia Bing to share afternoon tea, and told him about the case that happened in the Red Pomegranate restaurant.
"The deceased was severely abused during his lifetime. Not only did he have scars from being whipped, but the teeth in his mouth were also pulled out one by one, as if deliberately trying to make her suffer." Elie desperately poured milk into the teacup, as if to Dilute some terrible memories.
"Then she was tortured to extract a confession before she came to the Red Pomegranate Restaurant?"
"I think that's the way it should be. Also, we've found out the identity of the deceased."
"Who is she?"
"She is related to the robbery and murder of President Hua Guoda that caused a sensation in Shanghai not long ago. This person is Jin Yuxian's sister, the British prostitute Jenny who played mahjong together on the day she died."
Tang Hui has been following Jin Yuxian's case for more than half a month. During this period, he paid almost all of his salary, just wanting to get the progress of the investigation as soon as possible.Fortunately, there was Annan in the police station who had been taken care of by him in the past, so he gave him some news from time to time.Only then did I know that the police also investigated the true identities of the two people who invited Jin Yuxian out that day.According to my aunt's description, it was confirmed that the car that picked up people belonged to First Young Master Su, so she dragged out First Young Master Su who was smoking opium in Changsan's gentle village, but the other party beat him to death and refused to recognize him, only saying that he would borrow the car that night It was given to a prostitute friend named Zhou Qisheng who often went shopping together.Because of Zhou Qisheng's generous spending, he often paid back his gambling money for him, so when he asked to borrow a car, he had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, the car was not returned the next day, and no one could be found. got caught.The police interrogated Young Master Su for two days, but he couldn't tell Zhou Qisheng what was going on.He didn't know where the other party lived or what he did for a living, and he had only known him for two months, so the investigation clues were interrupted, but the car was finally found in the river pond near the scene of Jin Yuxian's corpse.Tang Hui was also called to the police station to identify him, and he confirmed that Young Master Su and the man who took Jin Yuxian were quite different in appearance, and that man was obviously more handsome. Who is Zhou Qisheng? This question kept lingering in Tang Hui's mind, making him sleepless day and night. It seemed that if he didn't want to figure out why, Xiao Hu Die's evil spirit would not let him go. It was inevitable for him to recognize Jin Yuxian as Xiao Hu Die, because he had had a skin-to-skin contact with her, and was familiar with her breath, skin color, the position of every fine mole on her body, and even the two hair curls on top of her head.In order to recognize him more clearly, he tried every means to get close to her, and she didn't seem to reject it, as if she understood his painstaking efforts, instead she took the initiative to stretch out her hand to hold him.Thinking about it now, those were all distress signals, but he didn't realize it, and was still thinking about how to see through her disguise. Du Chunxiao and Tang Hui deliberated over Xiao Hudie's death, and decided not to tell Sister Yan first. According to Du Chunxiao's words: "I'm afraid there will be more troubles after we tell. The bloody cases involved in this incident will be one after another. One, it can be seen that to a certain extent, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. We hold back and investigate the case thoroughly, so as not to tell the other side. We originally wanted to receive a reward, but accidentally became He's looking for his own death. Didn't Jin Yuxian want to befriend the eldest son, but put his life on the line instead?"
Tang Hui could listen to what he said, but he still asked uneasy: "Then what should we do next?" Du Chunxiao couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "How do I know what to do? I'm just curious about three things. One is Bi Xiaoqing's whereabouts, the other is who is that flower master, and the third is—" "What's the third thing?" "Don't talk about it now, just check the first two things before we talk about it." But to know Bi Xiaoqing's whereabouts, the only way to find out is from Qin Yazhe's people.The wives of the Qin family were all dead, and those who had been sent away were sent away, and the housekeeper who had an affair with Hua Nongying was also missing. Now the only one who can be found is still in the Qin mansion. Sister Yue who went to the kitchen to help. "Sister Yue's wages are reduced now, and she only wants to find another way to make a living. As long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing you can't find out." Xiaosi's words really came true, Du Chunxiao only spent five oceans, and asked her to explain one thing - the whereabouts of Bi Xiaoqing's aunt Zhu Huijuan.
