"Then do you know where he is now?" Li Ting asked tentatively.
"I don't know." She shook her head.
"I only remember one time when Amei ate his oranges. He suddenly became very aggressive and scolded Amei for a long time. Finally, the dean came out to stop him. He also said that the dean protected Amei. From then on
, he went around slandering the dean, saying that the dean and Amei were having an affair. This incident made the dean angry at the time."
............
In the office, Hao Weida listened to the two people's descriptions and couldn't wait to start his own reasoning.
"So, this case changed from a love dispute at the beginning to a murder case later."
"It's unlikely." Li Ting was deeply skeptical of his statement.
"Both of them are in their seventies or eighties..."
"What's wrong with the seventy-year-olds? Can't they fall in love? Can't they kill people?" Hao Weida also argued with reason.
"It's often seen in the news now that two old men would fight in the toilet just to grab a spot, let alone a woman."
"Let me tell you, Dean He is probably not just a dean, he is also an old killer."
After Hao Weida finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Chen proudly, but the latter had no intention of attacking him at all.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
The caller was Qian Cheng.
In Jixiang Nursing Home, Yuan Chen pushed open the door of the hall, and there were already many people sitting inside.
Seeing Yuan Chen coming, Dean He waved to him.
"President Ren, you came just in time, Amei has disappeared."
"It's gone. How could this happen?"
"We don't know either." Gu Lili spoke from the side.
"After breakfast today, when I was going to feed her medicine, I found that she was missing."
At this time, the door was pushed open again.
"I am Qian Cheng, the captain of the criminal police detachment of the police station. Who is the person in charge?"
He is still so crisp and neat.
"It's me." Dean He stood up.
"We received a report that a group of climbers found Mei Erniu's body on the side of the mountain."
Dean He's face suddenly turned pale.
"How could this happen? No way..."
Mother-in-law Sanshun was also so frightened that she almost fell down. Fortunately, Li Ting was there to help her.
"She is dead, she will not die, she will not die..."
She grabbed Dean He's clothes and pulled violently, almost to the point of emotional collapse.
"Sanshun, you have to calm down, calm down..."
Suddenly, a crisp sound of landing came.
Yuan Chen looked down and saw a string of bracelets falling from Dean He's body.
Qian Cheng and others naturally saw this scene.
Li Ting, with quick eyes and quick hands, had already picked up the bracelet and handed it to the dean.
"You dropped something."
Unexpectedly, when Sanshun's mother-in-law saw the bracelet, she snatched it away.
She cried and said: "This chain belongs to Amei, you...you seek wealth and murder!" She grabbed Dean He's collar.
"It was you, it was you who killed her, you sought wealth and killed her..."
Dean He repeatedly waved his hands in denial and tried to break free. Unexpectedly, the heartbroken Granny Sanshun was also very strong and could not break free for a while.
"Mother-in-law, don't be like this..."
In the end, Yuan Chen and others forced them to separate.
Granny Sanshun squatted on the ground, crying and calling Teacher Mei's name, her tears falling to the ground uncontrollably.
Inside the police station, Dean He has been taken to the interrogation room.
"Comrade police, I was wronged. How could you suspect that I was related to Mrs. Mei's death?" His mood gradually calmed down, not as excited as he had been in the nursing home just now.
"According to Jin Sanshun's confession, this jade Buddha necklace belonged to the deceased Mei Erniu, but now it appears on your body. How do you explain this?"
He pursed his lips in embarrassment.
"Yes, this necklace does belong to her. I picked it up in the corridor of the nursing home today. I was going to exchange it for her after picking it up. Unexpectedly, she disappeared today."
He gently touched Qian Cheng's hand.
"Captain Qian, think about it, I am the dean, how could I steal something from my fellow residents?"
"That's hard to say." The young policeman next to him said.
"When a person is obsessed with money, he can accomplish anything."
After hearing this, Dean He became angry and his voice became louder.
"What are you talking about? Do you believe it or not? I'm going to sue you for defamation." He slammed the table angrily.
Qian Cheng made a gesture to signal both parties to calm down, and continued to ask:
"We asked other elderly people in the nursing home and they said that Weng Youcai had conflicts with you before he was alive. Weng Youcai said that you favored Mei Erniu and that you had an affair with her, so you always gave him little shoes. This time
Something?"
Dean He denied it very firmly.
"There is no such thing at all. This Weng Youcai not only has a very bad temper, but also likes to confuse right and wrong, stir up trouble and affect the reputation of my nursing home. I just gave him a proper warning."
"Is it really that simple? Weng Youcai had an argument with you that day, and fell off the cliff and died not long after you warned him. Now Mei Erniu is the same, and her bracelet is in your hand now. What do you think?
Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”
Dean He pointed at him and said loudly:
"Let me tell you the truth, their death has nothing to do with me! How do you policemen do things? If you don't investigate unjust cases, you wrongly accuse me, an old man!"
Yuan Chen and others stood outside the interrogation room, and naturally they could clearly see what was going on inside.
Li Ting pushed Yuan Chen's shoulder.
"How's it going? What do you think?"
He smiled slightly.
"My intuition tells me that the dean is not the murderer."
"But both murders are related to his nursing home. Is it really just a coincidence?"
"Who knows?" He shrugged, turned and left.
Teacher Mei's funeral is still waiting for them to attend.
"Amei, please leave in peace. You don't have to be a lonely ghost anymore." Mother-in-law Sanshun covered her face and cried. The death of her old friend obviously hit her hard.
Li Ting mourned beside her, but she saw Yuan Chen searching for something on the hilltop not far away.
She trotted over.
"I heard from Qian Cheng that Teacher Mei fell down this slope and died. However, they still haven't found out whether she slipped and fell or was pushed down to death."
Yuan Chen looked towards the hillside.
"The deceased fell from above. Do you think there are any important clues above?"
"Don't think about it, other colleagues have already searched it, and they will definitely not miss it."
Yuan Chen shook his head.
"Sometimes, we have to look at it from the perspective of the deceased."
Li Ting was a little curious.
"What does it mean to see it from the perspective of the deceased?"
"Teacher Mei rolled down the hillside. As long as we repeat the case, we may be able to find something." After saying that, he had already ran upwards.
"Hey, you don't want to roll down from above like Teacher Mei, do you?"
At this moment, Yuan Chen had already reached the top of the slope, lowered his head and looked down, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Damn, I can't see it from below. I didn't expect the slope to be so steep..."
