Early the next morning.
Jiang Chen faced the east, circulated the "Health Sutra", breathed and exhaled, then practiced the "Longevity Fist" again, and then made himself a simple breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Jiang Chen turned on the TV and wanted to have some leisure and entertainment.
"Last night, there were many murders in Longcheng. The murderers' methods were cruel and heinous."
"It is reported that several of the deceased people had a common social circle, which provided clues for the police to solve the case. The case is currently being investigated."
"Dragon City TV reporter, reporting for you!"
Jiang Chen looked at the scene on the TV and couldn't help being slightly stunned. He knew several of the dead people.
The owner of the retail store in the community where he rented a house before, a couple downstairs, and...the landlord, Sister Ma!
Looking at the wounds on these people, it looked like they had been killed by some wild beast, not man-made.
In particular, the body of the landlord, Sister Ma, was a bloody mess, and her death was quite miserable. Although it was mosaic, it was still terrifying.
"That couple is Sister Ma's tenants. The retail store owner seems to have nothing to do with Sister Ma, but they should know each other."
"Who did they have a grudge against?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad. He wasn't familiar with that couple, but he was familiar with the retail store owner. He had rented a house in that community for a year before, and he usually went there to buy everything.
There is also the landlord, Sister Ma. Although her character is not very good, she was still alive and kicking a few days ago. The shocking news of her death today is also a bit emotional.
"Ding dong!"
"Ding dong!"
"Ding dong!"
Jiang Chen was thinking about it when the doorbell rang. Through the surveillance camera, he saw a man and a woman standing at the door. The policewoman seemed familiar. He quickly opened the door and went out to greet her.
"Monitor!"
The policewoman couldn't help but said in surprise when she saw Jiang Chen.
"Tang Yue, have you become a policeman?"
Jiang Chen was also a little surprised. The person coming was Tang Yue, his college classmate and the study committee member of the class.
"I saw you looked familiar just now, but I didn't dare to recognize you. I didn't expect it was really you."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"My master and I were conducting an investigation on a case and found out that the head of household here is named Jiang Chen. He had rented a house in Majiatun Community before, but I didn't expect that it was really you."
"Monitor, I want to congratulate you on getting rich!"
Tang Yue said with a smile and cupped his hands.
The expression of a middle-aged policeman beside her changed when he heard this.
I used to live in a run-down community like Majiatun, where the young and old moved back, but now I am the owner of a single-family villa worth tens of millions.
There is something wrong with this person!
"I can't talk about getting rich. I just sold three pieces of ancestral jade to Longcheng Jade Dragon Jewelry some time ago and made some money, so I was able to buy this big villa."
"To be honest, I really didn't expect those broken stones to be worth so much."
Jiang Chen could see the changes in the expressions of the two of them, especially the change in the middle-aged policeman's expression. He knew that the other person might think that his money was coming from something shady.
"You two, stop standing here, let us go in and talk."
"You came to me probably because of last night's murder, right?"
Jiang Chen said as he walked.
"The monitor is still so smart!"
"Yes, we found that the deceased Ma Xiaocui was your former landlord. According to her family, she withheld your 2,000 yuan deposit when you checked out."
"And we investigated the deceased's mobile phone and found that the deceased's last call before his death was to you."
Tang Yue said directly.
The middle-aged policeman beside her, his master Fang Dayong, couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead after hearing this.
This silly girl, why does she say everything?
"Call me?"
Jiang Chen was slightly startled when he heard this, then poured a glass of water for each of them and said:
"She didn't take my rental deposit on her own initiative, but I took the initiative to ask for no deposit when I checked out. I just didn't want to get into more trouble with her. After all, I bought a 20 million villa, so why worry about the 2,000 yuan?" money."
"But she does keep calling me these days, mainly because she wants to introduce her niece to me. I have told her several times that I already have a girlfriend and will get married soon. But she still didn’t give up.”
"You don't doubt that I killed her, do you?"
"When did you have a girlfriend? How come I didn't know about it?"
Tang Yue asked.
"I don't have a girlfriend. I lied to her. The main reason is that her niece is not only similar to her in spirit, but also in appearance!"
Jiang Chen said helplessly.
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue squirted out a mouthful of boiled water and gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up:
"As expected of you, Jiang Xiaojian, you still speak in such a derogatory way!"
"Mr. Jiang, I don't know whether you know who the deceased Ma Xiaocui had enemies with recently?"
"Or who did you have trouble with before?"
Fang Dayong also asked.
"Sister Ma is not a bad person in the traditional sense, but she definitely doesn't get along with good people. There are probably many people who have small grudges with her, but if she really has to be killed, I really can't think of it. come out."
"And I just watched the news. It seems that the wounds on Sister Ma's body were not man-made!"
Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa, looked at Fang Dayong, and responded.
"This case is really weird. We didn't pick up any fingerprints at the scene, but we detected the content of ink in the nails of the deceased. In addition..."
"Tang Yue, pay attention to discipline!"
Before Tang Yue finished speaking, Fang Dayong immediately stopped her.
Tang Yue stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly:
"I understand, Master!"
"Ink?"
When Jiang Chen heard this, a light burst out from his eyes:
"Is the murderer related to the serial thefts a few days ago?"
"Um?"
"Mr. Jiang, do you know something?"
Now it was Fang Dayong's turn to be unable to sit still. He felt that Jiang Chen knew a lot!
It was originally just a simple visit and investigation, and they had already eliminated Jiang Chen as a suspect through community surveillance and the content of the phone calls between Jiang Chen and the deceased.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Chen gave them a little surprise.
"The thief in this serial theft case only targets rich people. Monitor, isn't your place also visited by him?"
"Then why didn't you call the police?"
Tang Yue said anxiously.
"I didn't call the police because I just moved here. Although the house is big, it doesn't have anything important."
"The more important reason is that even if I call the police, you may not believe me."
"Come with me and take a look."
Jiang Chen led the two of them to the bedroom with ink on the wall:
"I found him and he turned into a puddle of ink!"
"Before this incident, I never believed in ghosts, but this forced me to believe it."
"If I call the police, I guess you won't believe me, and you might even detain me as a lunatic who disrupts official business."
"This thing was really weird. I couldn't explain what I saw with my own eyes. But since nothing was lost, I didn't call the police."
Fang Dayong touched the solidified ink with his hand, and he saw a two-finger-wide crack on the wall, right in the middle of the ink.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Chen and said in a deep voice:
"After you killed him, you saw him turn into a puddle of ink with your own eyes?"
"I can not understand what you say!"
Jiang Chen still had a calm look on his face, facing Fang Dayong's gaze without any fear.
Under Jiang Chen's gaze, Fang Dayong turned his attention elsewhere, looking for other clues.
After that, he and Tang Yue asked Jiang Chen a few more questions, then stood up and left. Before leaving the room, Fang Dayong saw a penetration mark on the heavy wooden door, like a sharp blade that had directly pierced the wooden door and left a mark. traces.
But he didn't say anything and left Jiang Chen's villa with Tang Yue.
