Dr. Ma continued: "I read the diary. It was on the 21st. A man I didn't know suddenly came to my place and asked me to meet him. I thought it could be something, but I came to ask. What happened on the night of the 8th. Although the topic was purely about Xiao Long, he pursued the same point from all angles, which was how long we stayed at Ren Zhengfu's house."
"Is he a detective?" Hao Dong asked reflexively, but he felt that it couldn't be a detective. Since the case occurred and the task force was set up, he has attended all the meetings held every day, but no one has ever proposed a thorough investigation of Xiao Long.
"He is an investigator from a private investigation agency and comes from Nanguang."
Hao Dong couldn't understand what the other party said. Xiao Long is the man who is about to become the victim's husband. Why do the investigators of the private investigation office regard the actions of this tragic hero as a problem?
"Did he show you ID or anything?"
"No. But the way he asks questions is always to the point. A layman shouldn't be able to do this."
"Well, what then?"
"As I said just now, he asked me about the time when Xiao Long left Ren Zhengfu's house, and he tried every means to ask me..."
"Why do we need to investigate this matter?" Hao Dong seemed to be thinking to himself.
"Yes, I don't understand why. But this man is very cunning. He said that if I want to ask anything, I can ask him. But when I asked him about his own affairs, he just sneered and didn't answer anything. It gave me the feeling not too good."
"Then when did Xiao Long leave Ren Zhengfu's house?"
"Eight: two-three, wait, it seems to be almost four-five minutes later. When I said that, the investigator didn't believe me. He asked me if it was seven-forty-five. The clock was one hour ahead and so on. He refused to believe me easily. I was also annoyed by him, so I drove him away and said, I'm really sorry. Since you doubt me like this, just go to Ren Zhengfu's house and ask."
Hao Dong lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Investigators from the private investigation agency thoroughly investigated Xiao Long's alibi. This information gave Hao Dong a strong shock. No matter who asked him to investigate, that person paid a special fee to hire the investigator and paid the travel expenses for him to travel to Kanazawa. Needless to say, that person suspected Xiao Long of having bad intentions. Hao Dong had seen Xiao Long lamenting about losing his fiancée, and when taking notes, he was so angry at the prisoner that he was shaking all over. Is this an act to deceive the eyes of the criminal police?
Dr. Ma Ming continued to talk.
"But later I called to confirm and found out that the investigator had gone to Ren Zhengfu's house first and then came to my place. In this case, when I asked him to go to Ren Zhengfu's place to ask, he told me that he It’s fine that he just went there a while ago, and he didn’t even mention it. I think he is really an insidious man.”
"You're right!" Hao Dong agreed, and then asked the doctor if Xiao Long should be notified about this matter. The doctor shook his thinning head. "Don't inform him. I said before that Xiao Long and I are not very close. But Ren Zhengfu is different, so just let him tell Xiao Long about this matter."
"That's it. Then I'll go visit Mr. Ren Zhengfu." The detective opened his notepad and wrote down Ren Zhengfu's address, and then told Dr. Ma Ming that if he knew the name and address of the private investigator, he hoped to tell him. What motive would Xiao Long have for killing He Chun? In order to know this and hire an investigator to investigate, you must meet the person and ask him about it. In order to know the true face of the employer, you must go to this private investigator.
"I have a business card, let me give it to you." Dr. Ma Ming seemed to have anticipated this problem. He took out a white business card from the drawer and handed it to Detective Hao Dong. On that new and beautiful business card, it was printed: Unit 238, Building 7, Tianye Manor, Chengbei District, Nanguang City, Mulberry. Judging from the fact that he did not leave a phone number, it may be that this is not an office address, but his residence.
"Did he say where he worked?"
"He said there is an office near Nanguang Bridge
room. I remember hearing the name of the investigation office, but I forgot it. "
Hao Dong wrote down the address. He asked again: "What kind of man is he?"
"Well, he is a thirty-two or three-year-old man of medium build who wears myopic glasses. His appearance does not give people a special impression, but it always makes people feel that they should not take it lightly. He is very particular about his clothes, his clothes are straight, and his chest is He also showed his handkerchief and looked well-dressed.”
"That's right." After Hao Dong finished taking note of the key points, he changed his tone and said, "Xiao Long was at Ren Zhengfu's house until around eight o'clock on the 8th. Is this a fact?"
The doctor frowned unhappily and contradicted the detective's suspicious gaze. "Of course, so Xiao Long is innocent." Dr. Ma Ming seemed to feel that he needed to explain again, threw the cigarette into the ashtray, and continued again. "In short, someone looked at Xiao Long's actions with suspicion. That person not only thought so and watched, but also entrusted an investigator to investigate. In this case, it means that he is convinced of his suspicion. But just from the media's Judging from the reports, it seems that the police are not aware of this new situation, or so I think."
Detective Hao Dong neither denied nor affirmed his statement, but just nodded silently. "Perhaps discovering this new situation will be a turning point and allow the investigation to further develop in another direction. Although Xiao Long has nothing to do with the case, he may be able to open up the situation by tracing the surroundings of the new situation. I think so. It's just that , I was very hesitant to say that it would be nosy, so I never dared to say it before." Ma Ming said.
Hao Dong thinks this is a very reasonable idea. Although there is no way to quickly judge whether Xiao Long is white or black, assuming that Xiao Long is innocent, we can also expect to launch new investigative operations by discovering new situations. This is a bit like a thriller fantasy, but it can be speculated that there is some organization behind Xiao Long, and He Chun has his secret. Maybe Xiao Long ordered He Chun to disappear and instigated other members to do it.
After bidding farewell to Dr. Ma Ming's residence, Hao Dong went to the clinic run by Ren Zhengfu. Hao Dong walked through the patient waiting room and met Dr. Ren Zhengfu in the doctor's office. The doctor seemed to have just returned from a consultation, and the rubber tube of the stethoscope was exposed from the pocket of his coat. His attitude is very stable, giving people a more mature feeling. Although the hair is thick, there are also a lot of gray hairs in it.
"That private investigator came to me first." Dr. Ren Zhengfu said this in a slow tone. "I would like to ask if it was indeed after eight o'clock when Xiao Long left your house?" Hao Dong said.
"Yes, it was after eight o'clock when he left my house."
Hao Dong went to Ren Zhengfu's house again and asked Ren Zheng
Husbands and wives and servants. At this time, Hao Dong's cell phone rang, and he walked to the corridor to answer the phone. The call was from Captain Tian Chunda, asking about the status of Hao Dong's investigation. Hao Dong gave a brief report.
After hearing this, Tian Chunda said: "If it is true that Xiao Long stayed at Ren Zhengfu's house until after eight o'clock, he would not have time to go back and forth to the beach to kill people. Is his alibi at Ren Zhengfu's house confirmed?"
"Confirmed. The two doctors, Mrs. Ren Zhengfu and the maid all determined this."
"Can you believe this? Have you ever considered that they might be bribed?"
"This has been investigated. Dr. Ren Zhengfu is a Christian, so he will not lie."
"But, there are also examples of priests killing people in the West..."
"Even though I am a Christian, I cannot completely believe it. However, I can deny your bribery theory from other places. When the three doctors were finishing their meal, due to unexpected things, Ma Ming and Xiao Long started to quarrel. Ren The doctor intervened and stopped it, and it calmed down for a while; but the argument broke out again for some reason, and Xiao Long left the table and went back. The whole place was cold, so the ophthalmologist left not long after, and Xiao Long went back angrily. The time was around eight o'clock, and neither of them remembered it because they didn't consciously look at their watches."
"Is the watch on time?"
"That's an electronic watch, so it won't be inaccurate. I heard that Ma Ming and Xiao Long didn't get along since they were students. I heard that this conflict was caused by Dr. Ma Ming who felt disgusted just by hearing Xiao Long's name. Because he also If you testify for Xiao Long, you have to admit that Xiao Long’s alibi is reliable.”
Tian Chunda seemed dissatisfied and responded with a casual hum. "Although Xiao Long's motives are still questionable, I hope to meet with the private investigator Sang Yuan first and ask him who his employer is. I will go tomorrow."
"Okay." Hao Dong replied.
