After this series of questions, at least the people in Chaoyang cannot be the murderer, and there should not be a murderer.
Is the murderer really still among the other melon-eaters...
"It's late today. Thank you for your help. Please go back and rest."
Lin Ke cupped his hands and said, "I hope you will come and help me again tomorrow morning."
It's too late today to continue identifying.
Everyone said hello and went back.
Lin Ke also returned to the yard, not stopping thinking all the way, and fell asleep while thinking after returning.
…
The second day.
Information about the murder spread like wildfire, centered on Chaoyang Street.
Although Chaoyang Street is only a corner of Imperial Capital, it also attracts a large number of people to come and eat melon.
It is human nature to join in the fun.
And just when the onlookers understood various information and surrounded the Chaoyang Street intersection on three floors inside and three floors outside, the real owner arrived belatedly.
"I'm coming!"
"Is that the person who promised to solve the case in five days?"
"It's said that my surname is Lin, but Lin is a common surname, and many of them have honorary surnames!"
"Isn't that right! I heard that I was granted the title of Madam Gaoming not long ago, and she enjoys Buddhist status!"
"This Young Master Xiao Lin is quite handsome!"
"What's the use of being handsome? You don't rely on being handsome to solve a case in five days!"
"That's not the case! Let me tell you... I heard that a big shot died this time. If the case cannot be solved, Mr. Xiao Lin may be the scapegoat of the big shots!"
People eating melon pointed at the people walking slowly on Chaoyang Street.
Chaoyang Street is now surrounded, and no one else can enter. They can only watch from the outside.
"What are you doing, what are you doing! Get out of the way, get out of the way! One by one, what are you saying when you are surrounded here!"
Captain Xing came over cursing and yawning.
The crowd immediately moved out of the way.
Just like storytellers are cheap, but everyone loves to listen to them.
Although Captain Xing is a low-level government servant and a consumable for the government, at least he is working for the government, so he can naturally use the power of a fox as a tiger.
"Xiao Lin, how are things going?"
Agent Xing quickly passed through the crowd and came to the interior of Chaoyang Street, greeting the people walking in front of him.
"Captain Xing."
Lin Ke nodded to Agent Xing who came over: "We should be able to get a clue today."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Do you have any eyebrows today?
What happened last night, today should be considered the first day, right?
A five-day appointment, and there’s a clue on the first day?!
Agent Xing became energetic for a while and lost all sleepiness: "Seriously?!"
Lin Ke was calm and composed: "If nothing unexpected happens."
Although he is wearing commoner clothes, he has been baptized and influenced by the excellent civilization of the previous life, coupled with the bombardment of twelve years of compulsory education and seven years of higher education, so he naturally has a unique temperament.
This temperament makes him easy to win people's trust.
After Lin Ke answered Agent Xing, he didn't say much and walked towards Tongfu Restaurant.
Li Chungang and Li Feiyu have not been out recently, and the rest Wang Lin, shopkeeper Tong and others have already gathered in the restaurant.
At this time, everyone was circling around the portrait that Wang Lin had drawn before, writing and drawing in the lower right corner of the portrait while turning.
Everyone who has been to Chaoyang Street before has drawn pictures here.
"How are you guys, have you recorded it?" Lin Ke walked in and asked the people on Chaoyang Street.
"about there."
"Okay, kid."
"There are quite a few people who have come to my tea shop. I'll try my best."
"alright."
Everyone answered Lin Ke.
"Okay." Lin Ke nodded slightly, then took out a piece of paper and a brush from his arms, with a wooden board behind the paper.
In fact, he woke up early and summoned the people of Chaoyang Street to come here to do something.
At this time, he came to the first portrait. The portrait was of a middle-aged woman with a sallow face, with a small rectangle marked in the lower right corner.
Rectangle - Zhang Butcher.
This means that this middle-aged woman with a sallow face has been to Zhang Butcher's shop.
No suspicion, next one.
Lin Ke looked at the next person. He was a thin, buck-toothed man with a cylindrical shape and a square shape in the lower right corner.
Cylindrical shape——Wang Lin.
Square - tea shop.
It means that this person has been to both stores at the same time.
There was suspicion. Lin Ke squinted slightly and recorded the person's name on his paper.
Next.
…
It was almost noon before Lin Ke and the others were able to investigate all these people and hurry up.
Finally, there were fifteen people!
"Boy, what's the point of doing this?" Wang Lin slumped on the chair like a dead dog, clapped her head, and asked Lin Ke curiously.
"These fifteen people are suspected." Lin Ke explained briefly, looked at the puzzled looks of everyone, and spoke again:
"These people are all people who have appeared in your shop, and they have appeared in at least two shops. Such people are the most suspicious."
Criminal Investigation Logic!
If the same person or several people appear repeatedly in different key locations in a murder case, no matter how impossible it is, it proves that they are deeply connected to the case!
For example, if a grandson dies, and it is discovered that everywhere the grandson appears, a school bus driver repeatedly appears by various coincidences, then no matter how much alibi the school bus driver has, he will always be suspected.
School bus drivers can be replaced equally, even grandparents, relatives, teachers and classmates, etc.
Once the suspect has been identified, the next step is to determine the motive, simulate the means of committing the crime, and find evidence.
Lin Ke was doing exactly this at this time.
After Lin Ke's explanation, the people in Chaoyang Street also understood what was going on, and their eyes lit up when they heard it.
"Sure, kid!" Wang Lin regained her energy, stood up and patted Lin Ke on the shoulder, her eyes full of praise.
"I see, this old man needs a lesson." The old man in the tea shop bowed his hand, and so did the young man in the tea shop.
"Why is it so complicated? Brother, please tell me again." Butcher Zhang was stunned for a while, but he was the only one who didn't understand.
"Okay Lin Ke, not bad, not bad, he is indeed my man." Shopkeeper Tong smiled with a smile on his face.
Compared to yesterday's cluelessness, Lin Ke's actions today gave everyone a direction.
The next question is the motive and means of committing the crime.
"Pah, pah, pah."
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind everyone.
Lin Ke immediately looked back.
A handsome man with sharp eyebrows, blond hair and blue eyes walked in, applauding as he walked in:
"Wonderful! Extremely wonderful!"
"Crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the imperial capital, it is indeed so!"
"Then what's the next step, what's the next step? Shouldn't you determine the motive and means of the crime? Continue, I'll listen."
This handsome man kept a charming and handsome smile and sat on the chair, immediately attracting Bingbing, Wang Lin and others.
Lin Ke, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and said in the next moment: "Damn it! A criminal has appeared. Come on, you copycats!"
Then he stretched out his brush and pointed it hard at the man. His expression was extremely impulsive, as if he was about to rush forward in the next moment, but his body remained motionless.
The old tea shop owner, Bing Bing, Wang Lin and shopkeeper Tong did the same. They raised the tables, chairs and benches in response, but they didn't move their bodies and kept their eyes rolling.
Only two people moved. One was a young man from the tea shop. He picked up the bench and was about to rush over, but was held back by his father.
Butcher Zhang quickly picked up the table next to him and smashed it over with a bang.
"Snapped!!"
There was a crisp sound, and a cut appeared on the handsome man's head, but it healed instantly.
The table exploded in an instant and turned into wood slag.
"You...you you you..." The handsome man was stunned.
The next moment, Li Hanlin's voice also entered the store.
"Prince Jinwu? Prince Jinwu?"
"Why didn't you notify me when you came here? I could go and greet you!"
"Although we know that you love your brother very much, and we also know that your eldest brother is as worried as your father, but I have to do my best, right?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you, Prince Jinwu? Why don't you speak?"
"No, what do these wood slags mean? Why are you all carrying benches and tables? Lin Ke, who are you trying to stab to death with your brush?"
"Holy shit, bah, bah, bah... let's be arrogant, what do you want to do?!"
