Chapter 85 Time Witness



The detectives of Team B spread out in all directions like a net laid out by justice.

Uncle Nine met this middle-aged woman at Zhao Meizhi's home in Sham Shui Po. Now she is no longer a guest or nanny in this house, but a gentle hostess.

She keeps the house tidy, but does not arrange the items in the room according to the standard of 6.

Zhao Meizhi is neither conceited nor clean, nor does she have strong muscles. She is just a hardworking and simple woman who crawled out from the bottom and has her current life with her own hands.

She poured tea for Uncle Nine, sneered after hearing the news of her sister's death, and wanted to express the emotion of "you deserve it", but tears flowed out for some reason and could not be stopped.

The elder sister insisted that she had been completely disappointed with her younger sister and had no feelings for her. Uncle Jiu handed her a tissue and said nothing. Only her old eyes showed the indifference of seeing through the world.

People not only deceive others, but also themselves.

When her younger sister Zhao Meini died, Zhao Meizhi was taking her daughter to the hospital for an injection with her husband. Her husband and the hospital receipts could prove this.

Uncle Jiu did not sit for long. He comforted Zhao Meizhi for a few words and then left and returned to the police station.

……

……

Gary went to question several thugs, hostesses and dancers in the Daliyuan nightclub. In the confessions of these people, the images of several women gradually became fuller and more complete.

Cra is a silly woman who is very good at showing off. She seems to be the most competitive, likes to stand out, and quarrels with people at every turn.

But in fact, she is a straightforward woman with a sharp tongue and a soft heart, and she is very loyal.

Almost everyone has been scolded by her, but she has also helped everyone out of righteousness.

When Xiaojia moved, Cra ran around carrying quilts and various things by herself, without any laziness, and helped a lot. As for other people who always speak sweet words, many of them only come to eat when Xiaojia is happy about moving.

When Sister Hua was bullied by a customer, it was good that some people were not around to gloat over the misfortune. Cra was the first to laugh and slap the customer's hand away, pretending to be coquettish and guzzling the customer's wine, and then helped out. When

the two C sisters were kicked out of the house by their boyfriends during a typhoon, Cra did not hesitate to go over in the heavy rain and take them to his house to stay. Later, he personally accompanied the two C sisters to find a new house...

So even though Cra has a bad temper, everyone is still willing to be friends with her. Many people even rely on her and can't be scolded away.

They are used to people with bad tempers around them, but they don't care too much about this. They should cherish their friends who are loyal and righteous.

Gary looked at the heroine in the notebook and thought of Cra who took the initiative to run to the police station in the morning. The two different figures overlapped and merged into a complete Cra.

Zhao Meini, who is mentioned by everyone, is a pretty girl with a soft exterior and a strong interior. She looks almost the best among the sisters and has a hot body.

She is young and sweet, and she is good at coaxing customers to buy wine. As long as she opens her mouth, no customer can resist.

Zhao Meini is good at making money.

But although she has a bright future in Daliyuan Nightclub, Zhao Meini has always wanted to go out and find another job. Unlike other sisters who buy bags and clothes as soon as they have money, she is working hard to save money and wants to open a fish ball shop.

Whenever Gary asked about these two people, everyone could quickly find words to describe them.

But when it comes to Qin Hongliang, many people have to think carefully for a while before they can say it.

"Ah Hong doesn't talk much usually, and she often has no sense of presence. Maybe she is more introverted."

"Ah Hong is actually very smart. Once we encountered a problem and we didn't know what to do, but Ah Hong was able to talk coherently and think of a solution."

"Ah Hong is so annoying. I visited her and Cra's house before. When I was about to leave, I saw her impatiently taking a brush to sweep the sofa. What's wrong? Is the place where I sat very dirty? Why is she so noble? She didn't go out and didn't let the guests take advantage of her, but in the end she left with Mr. Tu? What's the reason? Money."

"Mr. Tu and Ah Hong are boyfriend and girlfriend? Did she say that? Ha, what a fantasy. He just wanted to sleep with her."

"She was attracted by Mr. Tu's wealth. She was pretending to be noble and refused to agree. But she was taken out by Mr. Tu two days ago. What? Isn't this called coming out? But sir, don't tell the anti-pornography team to arrest her, otherwise everyone will know that I am selling out my sisters."

"Ah Hong? She is actually quite nice to others. But I can't explain why, I am just a little afraid of her." "

The number 6? Oh, I remember, when I was changing clothes backstage, I saw a tattoo of the number 6 on Ah Hong's waist. Why did she get the tattoo? I don't know, sir, Ah Hong is a very private person. She doesn't tell us a lot of things. Maybe she doesn't treat us as sisters."

She really sounds a bit strange.

Gary asked around and finally went to find Sister Yun, the manager on duty.

Sister Yun is still sighing over Zhao Mei Ni's death:

"God doesn't want me to get rich. I was about to go out with Mei Ni to open a store, and she died. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"What's so special about Ah Hong? She's just a good dancer and has a hot body. We all do it for the money, and Ah Hong works very hard. She's the one who dances the longest every day. The nightclub charges by the hour, so she makes the most money. But Ah Hong is also saving money, and she wants to open a shop. Who can stand dancing for several hours every day? She's almost 10, and she can't dance anymore. I originally wanted to support her in opening a shop. Anyway, I have these savings in my hand, and I have to find someone to partner in business. Ah Hong and I were almost on the verge of an agreement, but she wants to open a flower shop. How can such a shop make money? It's not like fish balls and fried fish cakes, which are easy to sell. People eat them every day, and they don't need to buy flowers every day."

Gary heard this and suddenly frowned and asked:

"You originally agreed to cooperate with Qin Hongliang?"

"Yes, what's the problem, sir?" Sister Yun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Gary.

"But later you rejected Qin Hongliang and cooperated with Zhao Meini instead?" Gary frowned even tighter. "

You can't say that. I didn't say I must cooperate with Ah Hong. I just said I would consider it." Sister Yun rolled her eyes and said incredulously: "Ah, you suspect Ah Hong?"

"It's just a routine inquiry. Now everyone who knows Zhao Meini should be checked." Gary denied it, unwilling to reveal too much information.

Sister Yun glanced at him with some suspicion, but seeing that he was unwilling to say more, she did not ask any more questions.

"But, sir, if you put it that way, I remember something." Sister Yun recalled the day when she found Zhao Meini's body, pursed her lips and said:

"Meini is not a very clean person. When I pushed the door open that day and saw that Meini's house was so clean, I wanted to jokingly ask Zhao Meini if ​​she had asked Ah Hong to come to the house to help clean. Later, I found Meini dead in the bedroom. I was so scared that I forgot the idea.

"Now that I think about it, it's so clean, it really looks like Ah Hong cleaned it."

After saying that, Sister Yun was suddenly stunned again, and quickly covered her mouth, smiling and waving her hands, saying: "I'm daydreaming, sir, can you not remember this sentence?"

"It's okay, just tell the truth, we will make a judgment. "Gary took a deep breath, and his heart was more convinced of Jiayi's words.

After asking a few more questions, Gary turned to a piece of paper that he had inserted in the transcript, which had five major points written on it.

He picked up a pen and ticked the box after [2. Motive for committing the crime].

...

According to the information provided by other people in the Daliyuan nightclub, Liu Jiaming quickly found the man who was with Qin Hongliang on the night Zhao Meini was murdered.

Tu Guisheng was a rubber merchant. He had no hobbies and no pursuits. All that was left in his life was the skills and desire to make money.

He loved to go to the Daliyuan nightclub because he was generous. Although he was short, women still loved him.

Liu Jiaming found Tu Guisheng in his shop. Although the shop only had two floors, the business was still booming.

Tu Guisheng invited Liu Jiaming to the second floor. The two sat around a huge tea tray, drinking tea and talking.

The tea table was made of polished old tree logs. It was very grand. Beautiful. Tea cups and tools are all available, and it is obvious that Mr. Tu is a person who knows how to enjoy life.

Merchants all want to use elegance to wash away the copper odor on themselves, so this store has bookshelves, tea tables, and Italian-style ceilings. If everything is planned according to the designer, this will definitely be a good store with high taste.

However, the gourd ornaments, the stone statue of Pixiu, the red door for attracting wealth, etc. obtained from the Feng Shui master, which are inseparable from the emphasis on wealth, still broke the integrity of the decoration.

Liu Jiaming took a quick look at the store and had already made some preliminary judgments about Mr. Tu. He rejected Mr. Tu's intention to greet him and asked questions directly. Mr. Tu had to answer awkwardly:

"How could Qin Hongliang be my girlfriend? She's just a woman in a brothel who's after your money."

"But I did try to show my affection to Qin Hongliang, but she's very arrogant and never paid any attention to me. But I've learned my lesson recently. You ignore me after giving me a tip, right? I'll ignore you too, let's see what you do. And it really worked. Haha. In the early morning of the 28th, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and went home with me. "

Hearing this, Liu Jiaming frowned. It sounded weird no matter how he listened to it.

Why did a dancer who never went on stage go on stage this time?

And on the early morning of the 28th, isn't it very suspicious? It was as if Tu Guisheng was specially chosen to be her time witness.

"We arrived at my house around four in the morning that day. I seemed to have checked the time at that time. After that, we chatted and took a shower. The time was between five and six in the morning. At five forty in the morning, Qin Hongliang was still on Tu Guisheng's bed. How could she be the murderer?

You know, after the murderer killed Zhao Meini, he also tidied up the whole house. That would have taken nearly an hour. Qin Hongliang had no time to do this.

Liu Jiaming repeatedly confirmed the time with Tu Guisheng. After thinking deeply, Tu Guisheng still insisted on what he said, saying that it was not long ago and he remembered it very clearly.

Especially after making love, Qin Hongliang asked Tu Guisheng about the time. Tu Guisheng couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Qin Hongliang seemed to deliberately let Tu Guisheng remember it...

Liu Jiaming frowned and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Qin Hongliang knew that Zhao Meini would die at that time, so she specifically asked Tu Guisheng about the time, making Tu Guisheng a very powerful time witness for her?

But how could this be?

Was it a hired killer?

After asking Tu Guisheng to sign his own record, Liu Jiaming said goodbye in a confused mood and hurried to the police station.

……

……

In the police station, Fu sat across from the interrogation room, looking at Cra in front of him, thinking about Jiayi's words, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

In his mind, Cra was no longer a suspect, so was there no need to interrogate Cra as a suspect?

But now Cra had not been cleared of the charges, and the clues pointing to her were real, so she still had to be interrogated.

While Fu was still hesitating about how to start the interrogation with what attitude and purpose, Cra, an impatient and hot-tempered woman, could not wait and spoke first:

"Sir, yesterday I sorted out the people around Minnie who might have killed her, and I made a list for you."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket, handed it to Fu, and then pointed at the names on the paper and introduced them one by one:

"Her sister didn't want to acknowledge her. She was afraid that she would affect her marriage and be looked down upon by her in-laws. Do you think it's possible that her sister killed someone?

" "And there's Ah Fu, the thug in the nightclub. He pesters Minnie all day long. Is he going to kill someone when his courtship fails?

"Well, the old man downstairs is very cunning. He always complains that Minnie makes too much noise when she comes home late and walks around, which disturbs his sleep. He has called the police for this, but he still comes to harass Minnie. He also threatens to let Minnie's landlord kick her out. Could it be that old man? Oh, so it's possible that it's Minnie's landlord. He didn't want to rent the house to Minnie, and he couldn't kick her out, so he killed her.

"Well, there's also this, Qin Hongliang, our sister who entered Daliyuan together, my roommate. Originally, Sister Yun was going to go out and open a shop with Ah Hong. Ah Hong even bought a lot of flowers and brought them home, saying that she wanted to practice flower arrangement skills. She also bought a lot of books for this. But later, Sister Yun switched to Minnie to open a fish ball shop, and dumped Ah Hong. It is also possible that Ah Hong killed someone out of hatred—"

Fu suddenly raised his head and glared at Cra and said, "What did you say?"

Cra was stunned for a moment, then complained, "Sir, why are you so fierce? I took the initiative to provide clues, can you be more polite to the five good citizens?"

"Originally, Sister Yun was going to cooperate with Qin Hongliang to open a store, but recently she changed her mind to Zhao Meini?" Fu ignored her family's nagging and got straight to the point.

"Yes, it happened in the past two weeks. You don't know how angry Ah Hong is, she is much more fierce than when I quarreled with Meini in the early morning of the 27th. When she heard that Sister Yun was going to invest money in Meini and not to cooperate with her, she went home and moved all the flowers out of the bedroom, and smashed them on the living room floor like crazy, leaving petals and water stains all over the floor. Those flower arrangement books were also cut! Don't think I have a bad temper. I'm afraid of seeing Ah Hong, who usually keeps quiet, get mad, sir." Cra exaggeratedly made a scared expression, rubbed his red and swollen eyes, and continued:

"Is it Ah Hong?

" "You ask me this specifically, so you are also suspicious?"

"Fuck!"

Cra suddenly slammed the table and stood up, and was about to walk out: "Bitch!"

Fu hurriedly pulled her back, "Sit down, do you have any other clues? Tell me more."

"What other clues do you have? If it's Qin Hongliang, I will go and avenge Minnie now!" Cra was about to stand up.

Fu hurriedly asked: "Tell me all of Qin Hongliang's actions, movements, and emotions in the past week, no matter how big or small."

Cra pursed his lips, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "Don't the police have evidence?"

Fu frowned and glared at her.

"Got it, sir, that's what I said." Cra tilted his head and thought for a moment before continuing:

"After Ah Hong had her tantrum, she quietly tidied up the room. I really admire her for this, she does things quickly and thoroughly, otherwise I wouldn't share a house with someone as gloomy as her.

"It seems that after that tantrum, she has become no different. She doesn't talk much anyway, and we are used to ignoring her, so why would we bother to care about what she is doing.

"But... on the night Minnie died, she was watching TV in the living room. She rarely sat in the living room before, and always locked herself in the bedroom. But that night, it was as if she had been waiting for you.

"... She and Mr. Tu had no feelings for each other. Mr. Tu gave her a lot of tips before, but she was indifferent. But that morning she was really strange. She took the initiative to approach Mr. Tu and wanted to go home with him. But... did that mean she didn't have time to kill Minnie? "

The two chatted about many details, and finally Cra talked about the deceased Zhao Mei Ni, and couldn't help crying again.

"...Mei Ni actually wanted to go home very much. She said that her father looked down on her for doing this job. She knew it, and she was also saving money to start a small business, but there was no chance, and she could never go back home again." Cra held the tissue that Fu Di gave her, but still habitually rubbed her eyes with her sleeves, crying and saying:

"This is how our job is. We dare not say that we do this when we go out to work. Every year we go home with big bags and small things, saying that we are working as clerks or secretaries. We are very good at making up stories, otherwise it would be terrible if our mom and dad knew about it.

"Meini's family is very poor, and she is beautiful, so why would she be willing to stay at home and suffer? She is not good at studying, and her brain is not very good. How could she be so depressed after so many years?" Jiayi finally experienced the frustration of being a detective.

Some of the neighbors were unwilling to cooperate with the police in investigating the case. They lived a good life, and suddenly someone died around them. They felt it was unlucky, and they were always disturbed by others, so they were really in a bad mood.

Jiayi could only patiently ask questions in a nice voice, and only then could she dig out a few pieces of information, but they were often useless information.

What about Zhao Meini being a **, what about the rental houses in this community are expensive and mixed, and there were more complaints and gossip than useful information. .

As for the continuous noise, everyone was completely clueless. Some asked if it was someone's washing machine, some asked if it was tinnitus, and some said it might be the cars outside. It's so noisy here because it's close to the road.

It turns out that the poor method is not only time-consuming and laborious to ask and search one by one, but also to filter through these boring and boring information.

After Jiayi returned to the police station, she searched several times, but still felt that it was all useless.

Leaning back in the chair unhappily, Uncle Jiu smiled and asked, "How is it, brave general, being a detective, this is how you will live in the future, endless investigation, questioning, thinking, meetings, meetings, and arrests. But these are not the most troublesome things. As long as you can survive until retirement without any missing limbs, you are lucky. "

Jiayi smiled bitterly.

Everyone returned to the police station one after another, bringing a lot of useful information. Not only did they gradually enrich all the people involved in the case, but they also connected many timelines.

Fang Zhenyue led everyone to a meeting to bombard them with information.

Jiayi was ashamed that she did not bring back any useful information, and at the same time she praised everyone for being so amazing.

However, during the process of information exchange, Liu Jiaming, who had always been active in speaking, was silent for a rare time.

When it was his turn to submit the confession of his appointment with Tu Guisheng, Fang Zhenyue could not help but tease, "Why are you so silent today? We dare not read this confession if you are like this. "

Liu Jiaming turned to look at Yi Jiayi, looking embarrassed.

The clues everyone got supported Eleven's inference, only he lost the link.

Although this was a very critical confession, he always felt a little guilty.

He was going to overturn everything everyone had said before.

"When Zhao Meini died, Qin Hongliang was with Tu Guisheng. Tu Guisheng was very sure about this. I confirmed it many times and got an answer every time." Liu Jiaming looked at Jiayi, then turned to look at Fang Zhenyue:

"Qin Hongliang has a very strong time witness."
