Chapter 65: Hiring a killer to kill one person earns one hundred thousand yuan. …
There was silence in my ears for a long time before I heard it stuttering, "You, you, you, how can you hear me?"
A hint of smile flashed across Shen Qingye's eyes, and he said innocently, "I don't know, but I can hear it."
"But, but...but..." The doorman kept talking for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything. Finally, he asked cautiously: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Qingye heard its defensiveness, smiled gently, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm a policeman. I just have some questions to ask you, I don't have any other ideas."
Uncle Men was silent for a while: "Is it about the dead man?"
Shen Qingye said: "Yes."
Uncle Men said with a warning tone: "You speak first."
Shen Qingye asked: "Did he come back last night?"
Uncle Men said, "Yes."
Shen Qingye: "What time exactly?"
Uncle Men: "How should I know this? I don't understand how you humans tell time."
Shen Qingye thought for a moment: "What about maybe? For example... when he came back, was it dark outside?"
The doorman said, "It's dark, it's been dark for a long time."
Shen Qingye: "Then...was there any movement in the corridor at that time?"
Uncle Men: "No, it was quiet by then, no one was playing cards, the building was very quiet."
Shen Qingye roughly understood that Su Jinfu came back very late yesterday and everyone else in the building might have gone to bed at night.
She asked again: "When he came back yesterday, was he injured?"
Uncle Men said, "Yes. His body was covered with bruises and I didn't dare to recognize him. He climbed up the stairs, holding his stomach and groaning. After he got into the house, he sat down at the table and didn't move. At first he was still yelling in pain, but then he lay on the table and didn't move at all. Until you came just now."
Shen Qingye was deep in thought for a moment. So, it was very likely that Su Jinfu had injured his internal organs and caused internal bleeding, but perhaps because he did not pay enough attention, or perhaps it was too late and the clinic was closed, he did not care and thought he could just hold on. As a result, his life ended that night.
She continued, "Did he say anything after he came back? For example, about who hit him or who did it?"
Uncle Men said, "I did. Why didn't you say it? At the beginning, he still had the strength to curse and say some strange things, like if you are not kind, don't blame me for being unjust. Wait for me to report you and see if you can still be so powerful. At worst, we can all die together..."
Shen Qingye was stunned when he heard this. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust... What do you mean?
What is he going to report?
Shen Qingye frowned, feeling that the case was becoming more and more complicated. Who was the person who beat Su Jinfu? What kind of leverage did Su Jinfu have on the other party to be able to say something like reporting it?
There is also the phrase "die together" - if Su Jinfu killed Feng Yuxue, it would be a violation of the law, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he deserves death. But what about the other party? What did the other party do to deserve the word "die"? Or is Su Jinfu simply exaggerating? In fact, things are not that serious?
Shen Qingye asked again: "Did he mention any names?"
Uncle Men said, "No. He kept cursing at me, calling me a bastard, a beast, a fickle person, and a dishonest person."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingye pursed her lips and took a deep breath.
She calmed herself down and re-analyzed the situation.
There is another person behind Su Jinfu. Although we don’t know what conflict they have, they should have reached some agreement before, but they broke up last night——
That means they definitely didn’t know each other just in the past two days, but should have known each other even earlier.
She remembered what Zhao Dahai and the others said about Su Jinfu being particularly happy some time ago, and her heart moved, so she hurriedly asked, "Has Su Jinfu been particularly happy recently?"
Uncle Men thought for a moment and said, "Yes. Before last night, he was always very happy. He was cheerful when he met people, and his temper became better when he played cards with others."
Shen Qingye asked: "When did it start?"
Uncle Men said, "It seems like... it was five or six days ago? One morning when he came back, he was laughing like crazy and saying something... I will soon be able to get rid of this poor and miserable life. Killing one person will earn me 100,000 yuan. Who wouldn't do such a good thing?"
Shen Qingye's heart sank: "Kill someone? Did he say who he wanted to kill?"
Uncle Men said, "I only heard him mention that he had that Feng guy chasing him around every day to ask for money. Now he has offended him, right? If he kills him, not only will he not have to pay back the money he owes, but he can also get 100,000 yuan at once. The boss is really generous. This money will be enough for him to live without worries for several years..."
Shen Qingye was silent for a moment after hearing this. She took a deep breath and slowly blinked her dry eyes. In her mind, she had roughly figured out the ins and outs of the case.
The one who wanted to kill Feng Yuxue was not Su Jinfu, but the so-called "boss" behind him. I don’t know how Feng Yuxue offended him, causing him to want to kill me, and he bribed Su Jinfu to kill me. At that time, Su Jinfu was suffering from debt collection by Feng Yuxue. He may have struggled after being approached, but in the end he decided to take action. He killed Feng Yuxue with a hammer and dumped his body into a desolate pond in Wuping Village.
By now, things have become almost clear.
Now the most crucial point comes back to Feng Yuxue——
Who did he offend? Makes people willing to kill to silence someone? Who is the "boss" that Su Jinfu mentioned?
Shen Qingye came back to his senses and asked Uncle Men again: "Are there any other clues? For example, did he mention any unfamiliar names?"
Uncle Men thought about it and sighed, "I can't remember it. I can't remember it. I'm old now. I really can't remember it..."
Shen Qingye felt a little disappointed, but remained calm on the surface, saying, "I understand. Thank you, sir."
She paused, looked at the worn and cracked wooden board, and asked tentatively, "Master, is there anything you want?"
Uncle Men paused and said, "What do you want?"
Shen Qingye said: "Just... where do you want to go, or what do you want?"
Uncle Men was surprised and asked, "I am a door. What else can I do besides being a door?"
Shen Qingye was stunned: "In other words, you still want to continue to be the doorman here?"
Mr. Men said confidently: "Of course, I have been here for many years." He then said: "But if you really want to compensate me, it is not impossible."
Shen Qingye concealed the smile in his eyes and asked politely: "Then what do you want?"
Uncle Men coughed and said, "First of all, you have to fix me. This is a good deed you did, so you can't deny it."
Shen Qingye said: "Of course."
The doorman said, "Then you have to clean it up for me, apply some wood wax oil on it, and make it new for me!"
Shen Qingye was speechless. After all, he still wanted to be a doorman. It just changed from a shabby little door to a cleaner and more beautiful new door.
She said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make it extra luxurious for you!"
Uncle Men said modestly: "Oh, no need, just an ordinary one will do. If it's too eye-catching, it will easily attract thieves."
Shen Qingye's heavy mood relaxed slightly, and he responded with a "OK" as it said.
Only then was Mr. Men satisfied.
While they were talking, Qin Yilang had already examined the body and had a basic understanding of the cause of death.
Shen Qingye rushed over and heard him say, "The deceased did not have any fatal wounds, and from the outside, there was no sign of poisoning. The basic cause of death should be similar to what you have determined, internal bleeding. I have to go back and test the details."
"We also tried to extract some relevant skin scraps from between the nails of the deceased, but were unsuccessful."
Yue Lingchuan made a statement, and Xu Yanting beside him also said: "There is nothing unusual in the room except for some traces of daily life. The fight could not have taken place here."
"In addition, we have already taken samples of the blood on the battery bike. When the time comes, we will match it with the DNA of the deceased and determine whether the deceased was killed by this person."
Yue Lingchuan thanked him for his hard work, and Qin Yilang stood up: "Your case seems to be quite complicated."
Yue Lingchuan curled his lips and said, "Who would have thought that when we were about to track down the murderer, another case would come up."
Xu Yanting put away his gloves and a series of inspection tools, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on."
The trace examination team returned with the sampling results, and the forensic team also took the body away. Yue Lingchuan looked at the time and it was already past five o'clock.
He looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Have all the people living around here returned?"
Jiang Cheng said: "I just heard some noise in the stairwell. Maybe some families have returned."
Yue Lingchuan stretched his body and said, "Let's go and ask about the situation."
Shen Qingye followed closely.
·
It was already time to get off work, and the residents of the building had returned one after another, making the corridor seem a bit more lively.
Shen Qingye and others went door to door asking, but the answer they got was that no one knew when Su Jinfu came back last night. It was already past eleven o'clock when his neighbor on the right went to bed, but he still didn't hear the sound of Su Jinfu's door opening. However, there was a family who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and vaguely saw a flash of light downstairs. It seemed to be Su Jinfu's electric bike, but they were not sure. By that time, it was already past midnight.
When asked where Su Jinfu usually went, they all said they didn't know. They usually just played cards with Su Jinfu, and they might not even know each other's full names, let alone where he usually went.
There were a few people who had strange expressions on their faces, but they were hesitant at first and were unwilling to speak until Yue Lingchuan pressed their questions and they finally told the truth.
Su Jinfu would occasionally go with them to look for prostitutes.
