Chapter 63 "Third Person Perspective" Someone has taken the bait

Episode 63 「Third Person Perspective」Someone has taken the bait

The interactions between Fu Lin, Shang Hexing and Li Zhi are like small episodes in the transition of the story.

After these interactive plots triggered various interesting comments in the comic barrage, people then turned to the reasoning part.

So far, the Forensic Department has released the specific time of death of the deceased. However, there are a total of three suspects with alibis around that time.

The first one is the deceased's "sister Mingzhi".

In theory, she was the first person to discover the crime scene. In addition, Mingzhi was also the key person hinted by the cockatiel Xiaobai. Although the police officer could not deduce from Xuanfeng's words that Mingzhi was the one who killed Mingsheng, it was impossible to completely rule out Mingzhi as a suspect. Through police investigation, it was found that there was a conflict of interest between Mingzhi and the deceased. The parents of the two siblings died young, and according to regulations, the estate was to be managed by their adult brother Mingsheng until Mingzhi came of age, when, in accordance with legal provisions, the estate's real estate worth 2.5 million and 1.3 million in cash were divided between his sister.

However, in fact, Mingzhi did not get her inheritance until she graduated from university.

The two parties had a conflict over this matter. One is that they don’t want to make a big fuss and go through legal procedures, wasting money again. Second, Mingsheng is reasonable. Ever since Mingzhi learned about the amount of her inheritance, she has stopped paying attention to her studies and future work. After graduation, she has stayed at home completely without any thought of planning for the future. Mingsheng also hopes to gain a foothold as soon as possible. Third, Mingsheng used Mingzhi’s property as collateral for the loan for the pet shop that opened a bird cafe.

Because of all these, they had many conflicts, big and small, but the two of them were siblings who depended on each other, so even if there were conflicts, life went on with some bumps and bruises, and there were many moments of reconciliation in between.

For example, in Mingzhi's mobile phone, there was a text message from Mingsheng at around 7 o'clock in the morning, reminding Mingzhi that he had brought her breakfast.

The second person is the deceased’s “girlfriend” and barista in the store, “Yao Chaochao”.

After confirming a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with the deceased, the two of them had the closest contact. She also had access to all the pet rooms in the bird cafe and was usually in charge of the feeding work. She was well aware of Xiaobai's temperament, hobbies and habits. Therefore, compared to Mingzhi, who only comes to help the bird cafe every now and then, Yao Chaochao obviously has more opportunities to spend time with Xiaobai. This not only teaches Xiaobai to talk, but also secretly trains Xiaobai to chew on the target object.

The conflicts between the two parties mainly focus on emotional issues. The woman has a strong desire to control the man and is emotionally unstable. The two have broken up twice in the past six months, and both times Yao Chaochao took the initiative to pursue Mingsheng. But just a while ago, Yao Chaochao discovered that Mingsheng had an affair again, and the two had a quarrel. Mingsheng proposed to break up again.

It is reported that Yao Chaochao was once charged with murdering her ex-boyfriend at the Anubis police station by putting a small amount of car cleaner in his coffee every day, causing him to be sent to the hospital. At that time, the two parties negotiated privately, and the matter came to an end after Yao Chaochao wrote a letter of guarantee that she would no longer harass her ex-boyfriend and paid for the medical expenses.

Therefore, Yao Chaochao is no less suspected of murder.

The third person is Lu Yangyi, a shop assistant and photographer, the only male suspect.

Because Mingsheng is a male, his body weight has ruled out the possibility of committing a crime for many people. Because a tall and strong man like Mingsheng is not something that an ordinary woman can carry, this is why the police once again ruled out the possibility that Mingzhi had committed murder after discovering that the body was caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. At the same time, among the regular staff in the store, only Lu Yangyi is a male. In addition to helping with the store's transportation and logistics, my daily work also includes filming and editing. Therefore, Lu Yangyi also had the opportunity to teach Xuan Feng Xiaobai to speak.

He was solely responsible for all the filming and editing work of the internet-famous cockatiel.

Xiaobai’s popularity is all thanks to Lu Yangyi’s marketing and hard work behind the scenes.

The conflict between employees and their bosses also lies with "Xiao Bai". Because Lu Yangyi believes that the popularity of the bird cafe is entirely due to his working day and night, the owner should give him more salary and bonus, or, the owner should pay him for his late-night work. However, Mingsheng did not agree to Lu Yangyi's request on the grounds of work contract, saying that he brought his work home voluntarily. In addition, although Bird Cafe is very popular, it is a welfare-oriented business and is mainly non-profit, so it cannot pay much salary at all. Recently, it was time to renew the work contract, but Lu Yangyi did not receive any renewal notice from Mingsheng, and Mingsheng no longer took Lu Yangyi with him to recent filming. Therefore, he thought that his boss was just abandoning him after squeezing out all his value.

However, there was no clear evidence of guilt on the bodies of these three men.

【Classic three choices】

[Lu Yangyi is too obvious. He is the only male, can get along with Xiaobai, and has conflicts of interest with Mingsheng. It is definitely not him.]

[Yao Chaochao is very suspicious.] When Mingsheng died, was she paranoid? Yandere? My girlfriend doesn’t have any extra emotions at all. That’s so suspicious! Judging from the behavior pattern, something is wrong! 】

[I think the younger sister is more suspicious. She even said before and after that the two of them actually have a good relationship, just with some minor conflicts. How to say it? This suspicion is too small. Her brother has used her house for his own personal purposes, and this bird cafe is still very successful. He will not return it in less than three to five years. Moreover, since he was able to use the brotherly affection to withhold his sister's inheritance for so long, he will definitely use the brotherly affection to make his sister give in a little later. In addition, let’s not talk about this bird cafe, let’s talk about this heritage. My brother didn't give any clear conditions, so I don't know when he would be able to give the inheritance. The legal provisions state that it is an adult age limit, but my brother refused to give it to me until I graduated from college, saying that he would give it to me only after I found a job. Later they might say they will give it to you only after you find a high-paying job, or later they might say they will give it to you only after you get married. I think that the brother was just making empty promises and his sister finally exploded. 】

[From the perspective of the circumstances that led to the conflict, the suspect himself has some serious problems, and Mingsheng actually has some serious problems too. 】

However, after Fu Lin and Shang Hexing went to the physical evidence department to investigate in advance, they seemed to have new ideas.

On the second day, they made another appointment with Li Zhi to go to the bird cafe, this time on the pretext of returning the cockatiel. The three of them used different ways to chat with the three people alone in order to reduce their vigilance. During the conversation, Fu Lin and his colleagues also had to talk to the suspects about other suspicious points to lower their vigilance again.

Fu Lin faced off against the tallest and strongest player "Lu Yangyi".

Li Zhize deals with the paranoid barista "Yao Chaochao".

Shang Hexing deals with the youngest sister "Mingzhi".

The three people's dialogue boxes are placed side by side, and the first sentence is exactly the same, as if they are homologues in different time and space.

"The murderer has been found."

However, the temperaments of the three are particularly different. Therefore, in the comics, the tone of voice that we imagine in this scene varies greatly.

[Who is the murderer?] 】

[Actually, they don’t know who the murderer is yet, right? Otherwise there would be no need for them to try separately, right? 】

[I thought so at first, but was slapped in the face by the subsequent plot...]

[After watching it from the end, I suddenly felt that the relationship between these three people might seem complicated. But surprisingly, their chemistry is even better than expected. It seems that without trust in each other, they wouldn't be able to reach such a high level. 】

After the three people said this, the suspect showed surprise on his face, in his heart, and in his words.

It's just a way to open up the conversation.

Whether the other party is indifferent or makes other expressions, it will not affect the next topic.

The camera first focuses on Li Zhi's picture.

The black-haired young man led the girl to the forest path they had traveled to yesterday. "We may need your assistance in the investigation and provide more clues."

[The first shot is for the barista, which means the barista is the first person to be eliminated. 】

Because of Fu Lin's credibility, even if there was no police involvement at this time, others acted as if they were assisting the police in solving the case and did not show any unwillingness to cooperate.

Yao Chaochao subconsciously lowered the volume of his voice because of Li Zhi's falling breath.

The cartoon shows a dotted bubble, appearing cautious.

"Who is the murderer?"

"There are actually two murderers. The main murderer is Mingzhi, and the accomplice should be Lu Yangyi." Li Zhi said it seriously, which aroused Yao Chaochao's curiosity. "After confirming that the body was dumped, the police have investigated the first crime scene and confirmed that it was the deceased's car. The only person who could be in the car with the deceased peacefully and without struggling was obviously his biological sister Mingzhi."

"Because Mingzhi wasn't strong enough, you concluded that someone threw the body into the Warren River."

Li Zhi nodded, "Because the time since death is not that long, and the business hours of the bird cafe also obviously shorten the time for the murderer to go back and forth, so a second assistant is definitely needed. This way, from the time we find Xiaobai missing to the time we start looking for him, Mingzhi can also delay time. She was the one who did not support everyone to separately investigate Xiaobai's whereabouts at the beginning."

"Because if we investigate separately, it will shorten the time to find the person." Yao Chaochao also thought, "Mingzhi is indeed suspicious,"

Li Zhi had a thoughtful look on his face. "The question now is that we don't see enough connection between Mingzhi and Lu Yangyi. In other words, is there any way for an ordinary girl to carry the body alone?"

After hearing these words, Yao Chaochao quickly said, "I don't know how to transport the body. But I think, could it be that Ming Zhiyu and Lu Yangyi have some kind of private agreement?"

"What?" Li Zhi heard this and asked humbly, "How do you say that?"

"As far as I know, Lu Yangyi really wants to make money and run a bird cafe. If the manager dies, this position will be vacant." Yao Chaochao said, looking in the direction of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi thought for a moment, "So that's how it is."

I don't believe he doesn't know.

Li Zhi paused, then said, "That's quite strange."

"What's strange?" Yao Chaochao asked.

So, Li Zhi seemed to be very surprised why Yao Chaochao didn't understand, so he smiled and explained: "If this is the purpose of their cooperation, they should pay great attention to Xiaobai and would not just throw the bird's lucky black phoenix into the grass. Aren't they afraid that it will fly away?"

"Little White can't fly, so it's normal to put it in the grass. Just use some food to attract it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi immediately reacted, "I remember. I was wrong. It should be placed in the bushes."

【Um? Isn't it in the bushes? 】

[This is the bait...]

"No, you remembered it wrong. It was in the bushes."

"oh…"

Someone took the bait.

Li Zhi looked at her with penetrating eyes, and his tone was slightly relaxed, as if the conversation was getting better and better. "I was the first person to find Xiao Bai. I never told anyone else. How did you know it was the bushes?"

Yao Chaochao's face turned pale, and it seemed that even his young soul had become gray.

"No, because I'm just guessing. It doesn't mean I have anything to do with it."

Li Zhi was calm and composed, "In fact, I already had evidence of your murder."

"But this kind of plot that leads to self-exposure still works time and again."

【Wow--】
