As soon as the detective left, Jiang Cha changed his clothes and followed him out to the bookstore not far from home to see if there were any outdated newspapers.
I was away for a long time, and many things are still unclear to me.
For example, how come a detective came to her house and asked her where she had been and what she had done just two days after she returned?
Normally, you wouldn't stare at a fourteen-year-old, unless?
Unless this person is short and looks like a child from the back, or the murderer is a child, a child of similar size to her.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he was targeted. There are so many scoundrels and young men on the street, who would associate him with a child?
The bookstore near my home has many foreign books, vernacular novels written by famous authors, and some fairy tales for children.
The old newspapers she was looking for were actually there, tied up in bundles with ropes in the innermost corner.
He carried old newspapers in one hand and a vegetable basket on the other arm, and bought some vegetables to cook at home.
After arriving home, I locked the front door, put the vegetable basket in the kitchen, and unfolded the old newspapers one by one, examining them carefully, especially those on the 7th that the detective mentioned.
I looked very carefully, even paying attention to the advertisements in the cracks, and finally found a piece of news in an inconspicuous corner.
A male body was found on a street not far from her home. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the man was killed by a man about 1.4 meters tall.
He had just passed by the street corner and happened to see the murderer's back as he fled. In his haste, he only saw that he was wearing a tweed coat and a top hat.
Jiang Cha stood in front of the dressing mirror, measured her back in the mirror, and measured her height with a ruler. She saw that she had grown to 1.48 meters.
In just a few months, because he ate well and got enough nutrition, he grew taller rapidly.
If according to the witness' description, this case was committed by a man who was 1.4 meters tall?
The detective came over and saw her height, so he didn't get suspicious, right?
The news article in the newspaper was relatively short. It only gave a brief description of the case, without many details being clearly stated.
Jiang Cha looked through several newspapers, but there was no detailed description.
For example, why did the witness appear on a street that was not very busy at that time?
You have to know that the case happened at four o'clock in the morning. Under normal circumstances, who would get up so early and pass by the street intersection?
It was still dark at four in the morning. How did the witness find the murderer half a street away?
If ordinary people saw two people appearing on the street at this time, I believe most people would think they were doing some indescribable activities.
Especially according to the witness's description, when he saw it, the murderer was pressing the victim to the ground.
This description is extremely ambiguous!
He also didn't say what weapon the murderer used, and the most important thing is, how did he estimate that the murderer was 1.4 meters tall?
What? Do you have to carry a ruler with you when you do bad things?
Jiang Cha put the questions she wrote down into an envelope, planning to find a mailbox in the next two days to submit the questions.
She wrote on the letter paper with her left hand, and every word she wrote was scattered and crooked!
After quickly reading the news in the newspaper, I began to compare the advertising and notice spaces in each newspaper to see if there were any differences.
The Republic of China period was full of espionage. A seemingly inconspicuous small box might very well be a communication method used by some people for years.
The advertising space features a new batch of summer dresses from the department store. Quantities are limited, first come first served!
There is also an old Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating various difficult and complicated diseases. He learned from Mr. Shi Jinmo, a famous doctor in Sijiu City, and he guarantees that the medicine will cure the disease!
There is also a big sale for the opening of a certain restaurant. If you spend 888 in the store on the opening day, you can get a plate of smashed cucumbers personally made by the restaurant's chef. First come, first served!
Jiang Cha spent half a day studying these interesting advertisements, which showed that advertisements from all walks of life were being advertised on them.
After comparing all the newspapers, I didn't find anything valuable, except that some were funny or a little funny.
However, she soon discovered some suspicious points in the bulletin board. She spread out last month's newspapers one by one and circled the specific news in the bulletin board with a colored pen for comparison.
Last month, a total of eight Amaos passed away, five Amings passed away, and twelve uncles passed away, and family relatives needed to be notified.
This month's newspaper reported the death of nine Amaos, three Amings, and eighteen uncles. Please inform all relatives and friends.
If she guessed correctly, the news of these people's deaths was the agreed time, A Mao represented the date, A Ming represented the time, and uncle represented the minute.
Translated, it means meet at 5:12 on the 8th and 3:18 on the 9th.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t find out where the meeting was, especially which side sent this message?
These days I stay at home all day long, studying the Libyan news.
Until this morning, there was a new divination notice on the newsboy's new newspaper. According to the content, the meeting should be at 11:40 tonight.
When I was at a loss, I accidentally saw an advertisement for a coffee shop next to the advertisement in the newspaper.
His advertising slogans are very interesting. After taking a sip, you feel as if you are on the streets of Paris, admiring the pigeons dancing around the bronze statues in the square and the trams passing by calmly.
Jiang Cha suddenly had an idea and found those suspicious newspapers and checked around them. Sure enough, there were advertisements for coffee shops, and the slogans were very thoughtful every time.
