Chapter 3 second quarter

"Welcome, comrade reporter." Wen Shu couldn't help but sized up the middle-aged police officer who passed him his hand. Although he was wearing a police uniform, his elegant and unrestrained demeanor remained the same as before.A pair of Xiulang glasses is on the thin face, and there is a faint smile on the lips - he is still the gentle and elegant little scholar in Wen Shu's impression.Wen Shu secretly compared Zheng Jian with the image of the scout on the screen, couldn't help but pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello!" "I didn't expect to meet on this occasion!" After Zheng Jian shook hands with her tightly, he cited Wen Shu and walked into Qiuxiang Villa. Zheng Jian told Wen Shu what happened to the murder while walking.

The homicide happened at eleven thirty.Suddenly there was a woman's scream in the garden. Although it was raining heavily at the time, the cry suddenly alarmed the residents of the whole house, because they had just finished the preparations before moving. The first to hear the screams were Chen Molin and Kang Li.According to the reports of the two of them, Kang Li was playing chess at Chen Molin's home.When the two walked out of the room, they alarmed Mo Cai and Gu Ling on the second floor at the same time. Gu Ling responded at the window, and then they went downstairs together with Shan Xiali in the pavilion.

The five of them walked into the rainy garden at the same time, and found Xin Yueqiu's body under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.Gu Ling and Shan Xiali screamed in fright, and Mo Cai immediately proposed to call the police station to report the case, and at the same time woke up the director of the neighborhood committee, Ms. Zhou.Ten minutes later, the police from the police station came to protect the scene.After a while, Zheng Jian led his assistants Wang Zhen and Shen Min to Qiuxiang Villa. After the autopsy, Xin Yueqiu was hit on the back of the head by a sharp object like a hoe, causing the skull to shatter and died.Judging from the expression on the face of the deceased, his expression was peaceful.It is estimated that the murderer took advantage of the unpreparedness to kill him, or the murderer was a person who was very familiar with her and did not cause her to be on guard.No murder weapon was found at the scene, but the watch and wallet of the deceased were stolen.Footprints in the muddy grounds of the garden have been destroyed by torrential rain and the garden gate is left open.Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether the murderer came from inside the house or outside the garden.

"When did you break up with Xin Yueqiu?" Zheng Jian asked. "It's around five o'clock in the afternoon." Wen Shu replied. Zheng Jian calculated the time, and the victim was brutally killed six hours after he broke up with Wen Shu. "How was she feeling?" he asked. She thought for a while and said, "Very good, and very excited. Because she already knows that tomorrow she will be the owner of Qiuxiang Villa." "Can you recall, did she behave strangely at that time?" Zheng Jian asked another question. Wen Shu shook his head, and then added: "She asked me several times: Are these four households sure to move out tomorrow? I showed her the signatures of these four households on the agreement. She was happy and sighed, She seems like a treasured person. In fact, it's no wonder that the implementation of the private housing policy has been delayed for several years, and Xin Yueqiu's excitement can be imagined. When I broke up with her, she didn't seem to have any special behavior."

Zheng Jian nodded silently.Obviously, this was a murder case, and Xin Yueqiu's mental state was in a state of excitement. She would never think of death, nor would she think that someone would murder herself at this moment.He exchanged opinions with Wen Shu, and decided to hold an impromptu meeting in Chen Molin's room, and asked the four households to tell the story before and after the incident. According to their unanimous statement, Xin Yueqiu was accompanied by her adopted daughter Xin Hanlu to Qiuxiang Villa around 7 o'clock.Since the four households are all planning to move tomorrow morning, no one has spoken to her.Xin Yueqiu walked up and down the garden and the corridor with a very excited expression. She greeted Chen Molin, but this weird old man immediately closed the door.Kang Li seemed to have scolded her a few words, but Xin Yueqiu didn't care, but looked around, as if looking for something.Around nine o'clock, Xin Yueqiu lost her temper with her adoptive daughter and asked Xin Hanlu to leave first.As for whether she left Qiuxiang Villa later, no one knows.First, it was raining, and second, no one paid attention to the gate of the garden.Because these four households will no longer be the owners of Qiuxiang Villa tomorrow, who would care about the safety of the villa?

Most of Zheng Jian's questions were answered by Mo Cai, while the others just added a few words to express their agreement. Zheng Jian looked at the people in the house one by one.These four households are indeed, as Wen Shu introduced, four different types of characters. Mo Cai and his wife are of the cadre type. Although Mo Cai is over fifty, he does not look old. He has a square face, rosy skin, and the hair on his forehead has been plucked, but it shows that he is full of heaven.There is not much hair on the back of the head, but it is very smooth.A pair of wide-brimmed glasses rest on the nose, big ears and wide mouth.He is of medium height, looks good, and speaks in a very orderly and rhythmic manner, which is a kind of cadre demeanor who is used to making big reports.Beside her husband, Gu Ling looked a little chunkier, her clothes were plainer than her husband's, and her white face was always smiling, making this plain face quite approachable.It's a pity that their precious daughter Mo Feifei is in stark contrast to her parents.Mo Feifei was wearing a hunting suit, rings, necklaces, and earrings, looking very fashionable.

Han Feitian and his wife are artistic couples, Han Feitian seemed a little flustered, because he and Mo Feifei returned to the villa after the murder.This is a thin and tall artist, with disheveled hair and not fancy clothes, but all this cannot conceal his charm that touches women's heartstrings, but instead shows that he has a unique artist temperament.Although Zheng Jian is not very fond of painting, he has read reports about his hard work in the newspapers and expressed his appreciation for his unremitting efforts in the face of hardships.Han Feitian's wife, Shan Xiali, was a little abnormal at the moment, hiding behind everyone, secretly looking at the police officers.Her face is indeed very characteristic, fair, smart and slightly nervous.He is too slender, and looks a little fragile.

Chen Molin was already old, this aging even surpassed his age.The wrinkles on the forehead are reminiscent of withered vines in the setting sun, with white hair, short and thick, standing upright one by one.His eyes were small, with single eyelids, and those staring pupils seemed to disbelieve anyone.This look is mixed with suspicion, hatred and a mysterious color. Conley looked nonchalant on the surface. He wore a fashionable brown jacket and was well-groomed. He looked at the gold watch in his hand from time to time, trying to put on an air of a big man. With a glance, Zheng Jian recorded everyone's features.Now the five people in the house can be preliminarily ruled out as suspects. Mo Cai, Gu Ling, Shan Xiali, Chen Molin and Kang Li can all testify to each other that they were not at the scene of the murder and had no time to commit the crime.Chen Molin and Kang Li were the first to hear Xin Yueqiu's screams. When they walked to the platform together, they saw Gu Ling and his wife poking their heads out of the window. Shan Xiali followed Mo Cai and Gu Ling downstairs. Then five people found the dead body under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at the same time.This period of time is only within a minute or two.Therefore, it is impossible for any of them to return to their room after killing Xin Yueqiu.What is suspicious is that Han Feitian and Mo Feifei did not return to Qiuxiang Villa until after 11:30.According to Han Feitian's statement, he went to the Qiujiang Cinema to watch the fourth movie, but he couldn't get out the ticket stub, and Mo Feifei took out the ticket stub of the fourth movie at the Qiujiang Cinema from his pocket, but she couldn't prove whether Han Feitian was in the movie theater , because according to them, everyone went to the movies alone.

After hearing their statements, Zheng Jian walked around the room for a few steps, then smiled slightly, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you all, please go back to the room to rest first, if there is anything else, we will trouble you later." Zheng Jian paused for a moment. After a pause, he added: "If you think of clues related to this case, please actively provide them. You can go to the police station or you can go to me directly." After Zheng Jian finished speaking, he told them his phone number. Everyone was indifferent, only Mo took out a notebook and wrote down Zheng Jian's phone number on it.

Just as Zheng Jian left the room, Chen Molin suddenly asked from behind: "Excuse me, do we have to move tomorrow?" Zheng Jian said: "I have asked for instructions, you can stay temporarily." Wen Shu at the side suddenly observed with cold eyes that the owners of the four households all breathed a sigh of relief.Chen Molin, the strange old man who had never shown a smiling face, grinned, while Conley shook his head triumphantly. They watched Zheng Jian and others disappear into the boundless rain curtain, and each went back to their own rooms. Conley was whistling and unpacking his luggage when he suddenly heard a quarrel on the second floor. Shan Xiali was arguing with Han Feitian, and she was asking him where he had been at night.And Mo Cai was also blaming Mo Feifei: "Why did you come back so late?" Mo Feifei didn't answer, and closed the door of her room with a bang.

Kang Li giggled and walked behind Chen Molin, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Fortunately, we were playing chess just now, otherwise if this old lady Xin died, the two of us would jump into the Yellow River and we wouldn't be able to clean up." Chen Molin didn't speak, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and took out a photo of a torn woman from the drawer. Kang Li glanced at the photo, and it turned out to be a photo of Xin Yueqiu when she was young.He suddenly noticed that there was a satisfied smile on the corner of this weird old man's mouth.
