Chai Jie let Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San into the yard, stretched out his head to look around for a while before closing the door, and turned back to the two of them: "Which detective is asking you to question them?"
Gao Xiaoliu pretended to think for a moment and said: "He is a big man, quite strong, and he looks to be less than twenty years old. I haven't seen him before, he must be new here."
Duan San took credit and said: "That guy was very fierce. He asked me several questions in a row. Fortunately, brother, I remembered your instructions, otherwise something might have gone wrong."
Chai Jie frowned and said, "What did he ask?"
Gao Xiaoliu rubbed his temples and shouted, "Oh, my head hurts a little, and I can't think of anything at the moment."
Chai Jie looked at Duan San.
Duan San scratched his head and said, "Look at my memory. It's only been one night and I've forgotten everything."
Chai Jie took a deep breath, took out two silver ingots from his arms, and gave them to the two of them respectively, "Have you remembered?"
"Get on the road!"
Gao Xiaoliu laughed "hehe" twice, "He asked you if you had been in the casino that night, and had you gone out in the meantime?"
"how do you say?"
"Of course I said you were in the casino, we brothers keep what we say."
"Do you think he believes it?"
"I'm afraid not necessarily, because he also asked me: What clothes were you wearing when you came, what clothes were you wearing when you left, and whether there was any blood on your body."
Upon hearing this, Chai Jie's voice paused obviously, "Then...how do you answer?"
Gao Xiaoliu spread his hands and said, "I just said it took too long and I forgot."
Duan San suddenly said: "Brother Chai, you are not really related to your father's case, are you?"
Chai Jie scolded: "Fuck you, I wouldn't do such a thing even if I wasn't a thing! I just had a bad stomach from eating, and it took me a long time to get into the tub."
"You also know how virtuous those policemen are. If they can't find the murderer, they will arrest someone to take the blame. I have to guard against it."
Duan San said "Oh", "That's good."
"Listen you two, this is the last time, don't ask me for money again, please."
Chai Jie politely issued an eviction order.
"Okay, okay, see you later..."
Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San didn't take it seriously and walked out of Chai's house with unsteady steps.
Chai Jie closed the door with a bang, turned around and walked back into the house.
Zhao Lin stood in front of the window, his ears following Chai Jie's footsteps as if they had wings.
Liang Song and He Qingquan saw that Zhao Lin was "contemplating" again, so they were not surprised and continued to eat wine and food.
Because of the room barrier, Zhao Lin could not locate Chai Jie's specific location, but he could hear the constant sound of footsteps and slightly heavy breathing.
Chai Jie's heart is a little confused!
After a while, Zhao Lin heard Chai Jie saying to himself: "You shouldn't. How could you suspect me?"
"No, the police must have gone to look for the eldest brother and the second brother, not just me."
After being quiet for a while, Chai Jie said angrily: "I am too timid. Those things should have been disposed of long ago. They are always a disaster at home."
Those things?
Zhao Lin's brows jumped, his Adam's apple vibrated at high speed, and he adjusted the "receiving power" to the maximum to collect the sounds coming from the direction of Chai's house.
Soon, the sound of heavy objects being moved was heard in the room.
The sound was muffled, as if it was a piece of furniture.
"There's not much difference between ancient and modern methods of hiding things. It's either under the bed or in the cracks of the wall."
Zhao Lin guessed in his mind that he heard Chai Jie take a few deep breaths, rest for a moment, and move something away.
This sound was very familiar to Zhao Lin. It was the sound of bricks rubbing together, followed by a rustling sound.
"Is it clothes?"
Zhao Lin felt that the evidence had appeared, turned around and made a gesture, put down a small piece of broken silver on the table, and walked out of the wine shop.
Liang Song has been with Zhao Lin for a long time and knows that he has some unknown abilities, so he has become accustomed to it.
Tao Er was simple-minded and only knew to do things according to Zhao Lin's instructions. Only He Qingquan was confused.
Zhao Lin led people to Chai's house. When he passed the street corner, he saw Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San waiting here.
Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San said in unison: "Zhaoye."
"Stop talking and follow behind."
Zhao Lin gave an order and listened to the movements in the room as he walked.
After a while, everyone came to the door of Chai's house.
At this time, a series of footsteps sounded in the house. Zhao Lin estimated the distance based on the number of steps. Chai Jie walked at least 20 meters and passed multiple rooms.
"Where is he going?"
Zhao Lin was suspicious. It was broad daylight. Chai Jie wouldn't take his things outside at this time, would he?
He closed his eyes and tried to outline Chai Jie's movements.
After a while, the footsteps stopped.
Then, Zhao Lin heard a "crackling" sound.
He suddenly looked up and saw a plume of black smoke rising from the top of the Chai family's house.
It was already noon, and many families were cooking. White smoke rose from the roofs. Only the smoke from the Chai family was black.
"He's burning his clothes!"
An idea flashed through Zhao Lin's mind and he kicked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, the door of Chai's house was so strong that it was not kicked open.
"Who is it? How dare you break into a house in broad daylight!" Chai Jie shouted outside, with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Check the water meter!"
Zhao Lin used all his strength and kicked the door open.
"What are you doing?"
Chai Jie stood in front of the hall with a sullen look on his face, but when he saw Gao Xiaoliu and Duan San behind Zhao Lin and others, his expression suddenly changed.
"Tie them up!"
Zhao Lin glanced at Chai Jie's palms stained with charcoal ash and went straight to the room where the smoke was coming from.
The kitchen was filled with black smoke and had a burning smell.
Zhao Lin held his breath, picked up the fire stick by the door, and took out the clothes and shoes in the kitchen hall.
The clothes were half burned, but the boots were basically intact with a lot of blood stains on them.
Zhao Lin felt relieved. With these two things, he could basically be convicted.
But to be on the safe side, the murder weapon must be found.
After leaving the kitchen, Liang Song and others also arrived.
Chai Jie was tied tightly with a rope around his neck, his arms were tied behind his back, and his arms were cut off.
Zhao Lin threw the clothes on the ground, "Where is the knife hidden?"
Chai Jie straightened his neck and asked, "What kind of knife?"
"Still talking hard."
Zhao Lin sneered, looked around, and walked towards the east chamber, thinking back on the steps Chai Jie had just taken.
When he passed the penthouse, he stopped.
The penthouse was not big, with some sundries piled inside, and a mahogany chest with mottled patent leather standing in the corner.
There are drag marks on the ground near the box.
Zhao Lin walked over and dragged the box aside.
There were several one-foot-square blue bricks under the box. He pressed them one by one. When he pressed the innermost blue brick, it became noticeably loose.
Zhao Lin took a step back, took out the iron ruler from his waist, reached into the gap between the bricks, and pried open the green bricks, revealing an irregular pit.
After turning over the soil a few times, a knife handle was gradually exposed.
Zhao Lin reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, and upwards, a sharp steel knife appeared in front of everyone.
Chai Jie's body swayed, and the color drained from his face.
There was a sound of gasping at the scene, and Gao Xiaoliu, Duan Qing, and He Qingquan were all stunned.
