Qin Nan and the others quickly arrived at the door of Huang Pusheng's house. He knocked on the door. After a long time, he slowly opened the door.
He was wearing pajamas at this time, but Qin Nan could tell that he seemed to be out of breath at this time.
Qin Nan took the key and asked: "Uncle, are you okay? You look quite tired. Did you just go home?"
"How could it be? I'm learning square dancing. I'm going to bed now. I'm getting too old and I don't have enough energy anymore." Mr. Huangpu said, waving his hands repeatedly.
"Okay, good night, Uncle Huang. We will send you the key tomorrow," Qin Nan said.
"There's no need to be in a hurry. It doesn't matter. My house can't be rented out anyway. I've already thought about it. I can bring it back anytime," Huang Pusheng said.
"By the way, Uncle Huang, I have a question, how many keys do you have in total?" Qin Nan asked.
"There's only one handful, what's wrong?" Huang Pusheng asked doubtfully. He always felt that there was something in Qin Nan's words, but he didn't know what to say.
Then watching Qin Nan and the others enter the elevator, Huang Pusheng shook his head after seeing them getting on the elevator...
"Cousin, are you suspecting that he just went to the rental house over there?" Wu Haotian asked doubtfully.
"Did you see it too? I was just asking casually. It is unlikely that he will pass. In terms of time, it is simply impossible. Our speed is already very fast. There is no way he can get ahead of us." Qin
Nan said.
Soon, the two came to the eighth unit 20-3 again. When they got off the elevator, they felt a slight chill. It was obviously spring, but it felt like winter.
He couldn't help but think of the monsters and ghosts that the aunt who lived next to him talked about.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian looked at each other, and then slowly approached the door where several reminder orders were filed.
Qin Nan put his ear against the security door, then closed his eyes and listened carefully. He didn't hear any sound in the 20-3. Wu Haotian also put his ear against the security door, listened carefully and then shook his head.
At this moment, a black shadow passed under the feet of Qin Nan's Wu Haotian, causing them both to take a step back. Then they saw it sitting at the entrance of the safety corridor, sitting there with gleaming eyes.
Hold them both.
"Huh, it turns out to be a black cat..." Qin Nan said with a long sigh of relief.
Just when Qin Nan was about to insert the key into the keyhole, Wu Haotian stopped him and then turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone to roughly observe the lock cylinder.
When he saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Qin Nan asked.
"Well, this lock cylinder has traces of being molded. Someone should have matched the key." Wu Haotian said.
"The key has been assigned, so it couldn't have been made by the landlord, right? After all, Huang Pusheng has several keys like this in his hand. The keychain looks rusty, so it is unlikely that it is the key that was assigned recently."
Qin Nan said.
"Yes, I think someone else unlocked the door..." Wu Haotian frowned and looked at Qin Nan, who was also looking at the lock core. The two of them seemed to have thought together.
At this time, Wu Haotian also noticed the black line next to the lock core, and then said to Qin Nan: "Cousin, look at this black line, what do you think of?" Wu Haotian said.
Qin Nan looked at it and saw that it was just an ordinary black thread, which could be easily pulled off from black clothes.
"Could it be that...who made this mark?" Qin Nan asked softly.
Wu Haotian nodded, and then Qin Nan used a trace inspection light to check the fingerprints on the door handle. No traces were found at all. Even the fingerprints they left in the morning disappeared.
In other words, someone came this afternoon or evening, so Wang Dagui should not have hallucinated when he saw the clown.
Qin Nan inserted the key into the keyhole, and then looked around. There was no one on the other side, and the cat sitting at the entrance of the security corridor also disappeared.
Then he opened the door and the two quickly arrived inside the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled the smell of disinfectant. Qin Nan frowned and said, "Someone must have been to this place, probably to destroy some traces, and..."
Qin Nan turned on the flashlight, squatted down and looked at the ground.
"The ground has also been mopped, and there are not obvious water stains. It was not like this when we came here this morning." Qin Nan said softly.
At this time, Wu Haotian hurriedly walked into the bedroom next to him. He opened the closet, looked under the bed, and then looked in every room. He felt relieved when he found that no one was there.
Qin Nan came to the toilet, and then looked at the sponge mop. The sponge mop was wetter than when he came this morning. The two of them checked the room for a long time and found nothing strange.
However, the duffel bag that had been placed in the closet now disappeared.
Wu Haotian looked at the empty wardrobe and said, "It's probably not the landlord who came to this place to take these things away."
"Probably not. I think the man Wang Dagui saw took these things away an hour or two ago, because he said there was a figure walking around inside, probably cleaning up the room.
"Qin Nan said.
"It's so late, why would anyone come to this place to pack things? The landlord seems a little suspicious." Wu Haotian analyzed.
"Well, indeed, but there is some mismatch in the timeline, but this is his house. Even if he comes to this place to pack things, there is no problem, but Wang Dagui said that he saw a clown's face,
If the landlord came to clean this place, there would be no need to put on makeup or a mask. This would be too deliberate..." Qin Nan said.
Just when Wu Haotian was about to open the curtains and look outside, Qin Nan walked up and stopped him and said, "Don't open the curtains. Maybe the murderer is watching us in a building opposite."
Wu Haotian stopped preparing to open the curtains and couldn't help but sigh.
"That person seemed to be very careful. Three months have passed since this case, and he came to clean this place today. I think the murderer probably lives in this community, and also lives in the three buildings opposite.
"Qin Nan analyzed.
"Yes, I think so too. Is the murderer the woman Wang Dagui mentioned?" Wu Haotian asked.
"It may or may not be true, but Wang Dagui said that he has not seen this woman recently. He said that this woman had an argument with a person who suddenly appeared in the room, and he did not see this woman again in the next two days.
,
There are two possibilities. The first is that the woman is the murderer three months ago. I think this possibility is very small. The other possibility is that the woman is the person who lives in this house temporarily, and she is not known to the landlord.
in the case of,
After that man discovered the existence of this woman in a certain unit building, he became murderous. I can't figure out the reason. At present, I think the latter is more likely.
And Wang Dagui said that the brown-haired woman in the back looks almost exactly the same as the female corpse three months ago, but the color of her hair is unrecognizable, so I think... the brown-haired woman may have been killed..." Qin Nan said
.
Wu Haotian couldn't help but nodded after hearing Qin Nan's analysis, agreeing with his idea.
At this moment, Qin Nan suddenly thought of something. He went to the closet and took a look, and shined a light on it. Sure enough, he found a pair of shoe prints in the corner of the closet.
Wu Haotian cooperated and finished taking the photos, and then Qin Nan walked in and squatted in the closet. His height of 1.75 meters was just enough to squat in the closet.
The door of the wardrobe could just be closed. The woman usually put her clothes in the duffel bag. Because they did not find clothes hangers, Qin Nan was even more sure that the person must have been hiding in the wardrobe at that time.
Later, he might have waited for the woman to relax her vigilance, and then killed her.
"Is it possible that this was a play directed and performed by that woman?" Wu Haotian asked.
