In the winter morning in City B, even though the sun is shining, it is surprisingly cold.
Liu Donglin woke up from the cold again. The windows of this dilapidated rental house could not be locked and could be blown open by the slightest breeze.
He stretched and looked out the window in a daze for a while, and then he made a phone call: "Hello? Miss Huang? I'll be ready to leave in a minute, um, don't worry. I've got all the information, what's left is
Don't worry and leave it to me. The result will definitely satisfy you. After all, I am quite famous in the industry. It will take about 40 minutes to come here... Well, that would be the best, this kind
It’s better not to let more people know about it, so we’ll see you later.”
Liu Donglin is 30 years old this year, but he is still single, but this may have something to do with what he is doing.
The psychological counseling major he studied in college failed to help him find a job after graduation. After that incident, Liu Donglin started working as a fraudster. This job is not much different from that of a private detective. Private detectives help people.
While the fraudster solves the problem, he uses the incident to benefit himself or his employer.
According to Liu Donglin's own words: "What's wrong with our profession? Aren't we all about helping people solve problems? What I solve is just my own financial problems. Don't detectives also use various means to solve incidents? Then what I do
The matter is a few steps higher than what they don't know. These guys have to wait until the matter has happened before they solve it. Look at me again. There is no incident. I will create an incident for you and then solve it. How good. Yes
Bar?"
Of course, after all, the job of a fraudster is not one that can show people their true colors. Liu Donglin also has his own code name - Anbian. In City B, everyone knows the name of Master Anbian, but this is what Liu Donglin prides himself on.
.
He is very clean in his work. He can always keep himself out of things and does not leave any evidence of crime. Therefore, his life is quite stable and the police cannot catch him. But he lives in this dilapidated rental house.
Just for safety, Liu Donglin will change places after a while.
After a brief wash, Liu Donglin put on the suit he had just rented. Later, he would go to meet his clients as an insurance seller. If he didn't do this business, the foreshadowing he had laid for more than half a month would be useless.
.
Standing in front of the mirror, he carefully checked his appearance, picked up his briefcase, walked out the door, and walked from the fire escape to the house he rented directly below, No. 07 on the 7th floor.
"Dong dong dong."
Liu Donglin knocked on the door three times and straightened his tie, but no one came to open the door. So he knocked on the door again, but to his surprise, 707's door was knocked open by him.
The strong smell of blood came from the shop. Liu Donglin frowned subconsciously and covered his nose with his hands. He gently opened the door. Because the blackout curtains were not opened and the lights were turned off, even in the morning
, but it was dim as if it was late at night.
Even though his vision was not good enough, Liu Donglin still saw the blood flowing out from under the bedroom door at a glance. Feeling that something was wrong, he closed the door without closing it tightly.
Liu Donglin turned on the light in the room. Afraid of leaving his own information, he took out a pair of gloves that he usually carried with him from his pocket and walked into the room quietly.
After looking around for a week, I found no obvious signs of fighting. There was a glass with half a glass of water and a panda mug with milk on the table at the door. The mist floating on the water showed that the water had just been poured. 40 minutes by myself
I made the call just before, which means the incident happened just now.
Then Liu Donglin slowly walked towards the bleeding bedroom door, and gently pushed it open with his hands through his clothes. A stronger smell of blood hit him. The terrifying sight that greeted his eyes made even Liu Donglin, who had been exposed to darkness for many years, panic.
I was shocked, everything in the house seemed to be waiting for him to open the door and enter.
The owner of the room was facing away from the door, wearing a red open-back evening dress and kneeling in front of the bay window of the bedroom. His arms were neatly cut off from the shoulders, and the murderer used ropes to tie them into a circle and move them along the bay window.
The top frame of the gauze curtain in front of the body was hung directly above the body's head. The translucent red gauze curtain let the relatively good sunlight in the winter morning shine on the body through the hand-knitted circle. Looking from the door, Liu Donglin seemed to be watching.
We arrived at a fallen angel from hell whose body was glowing red.
It's not that Liu Donglin has never seen dead people. On the contrary, he often uses corpses to make fakes. But this is the first time for Liu Donglin to see such a shocking murder scene. Even though he was not scared, he was still frozen on the spot.
At this moment, the door to the room behind him was suddenly opened, and a familiar male voice came into Liu Donglin's ears, "Ms. Huang Ruihong, are you at home? Sorry, I saw that the door was ajar, so I just came in without disturbing you.
..."
"Liu Donglin!?" Before the man finished speaking, he had obviously seen Liu Donglin standing at the door of the bedroom and shouted in disbelief.
The moment he heard the man behind him speak, Liu Donglin had already recovered from his daze. He did not expect to meet his nemesis in this place - the private detective from City B, Hexi.
Liu Donglin smiled bitterly, turned around slowly and said, "Do you believe it when I say it's a coincidence? Detective He."
It can be said that the current situation cannot get any worse. This Hexi has contacted Liu Donglin several times, but every time Liu Donglin retreated unscathed. It seems that it has affected Hexi's private detective name. This person only made public some time ago.
He claimed that he would definitely catch the criminal evidence of the fraudster Master Anbian, and hand him over to the police so that the law could punish him. But Liu Donglin only responded with one sentence: "Haha."
Under this situation, Liu Donglin felt that Hexi would not listen to his explanation, but there must be clues about him at this scene. If it was left to the police to discover later, he would become a criminal suspect, which would be very harmful to him.
unfavorable.
He was the first person to discover the boiling hot water, not to mention that he had been using the phone to communicate with this woman named Huang Ruihong a few days ago. He even made a call in the morning, so he might not have access to his address book.
The last call is yours.
Liu Donglin was thinking about these things when Hexi suddenly shouted: "Raise your hands! Turn around slowly, lean against the wall, and stand still!"
Apparently, he saw the corpse in the bedroom through Liu Donglin. Liu Donglin, who didn't want to anger Hexi, had to raise his hands, leaned against the wall, and stood up. Hexi took out a telescopic stick from behind and cautiously approached Liu Donglin. His eyes
He kept scanning the environment in the room and took out his cell phone.
Seeing that he was about to call the police, Liu Donglin hurriedly shouted: "Listen to me first! I am the first person to find the crime scene! The person must have died just now. I suspect that the murderer and the two of us walked in and out of here.
Did you see anyone suspicious downstairs?"
Hearing what Liu Donglin said, Hexi began to think about the people he had met before going upstairs. Suddenly he thought of a long-haired woman wearing a black windbreaker he met on the road, a woman not far from the building.
We met Hexi at the corner. Because we were walking in a hurry, we bumped into Hexi.
The strange thing about this woman is that she was wearing sunglasses and a mask early in the morning and was walking in a hurry. After bumping into Hexi, she did not apologize to Hexi, but accelerated her pace, rushing forward as if to escape. Hexi
She was not a person who cared about everything, but the things in the woman's arms made Hexi remember her. The woman held a large black bag tightly in her arms, and Hexi saw obvious signs on the shoulder strap of the bag.
Bloodstains.
The detective's intuition told him that this woman in Hexi was not simple. If he hadn't been in such a hurry to find Huang Ruihong, he might have followed her. Now that he thinks about it, this person might really be related to this case.
Thinking of this, Hexi put down his telescopic stick and asked, "Why are you here?"
"This is my client. It's only natural that I come to see my client. But you, are you Conan? Wherever you go, there will be murders. By the way, didn't I ask you if you saw anyone suspicious? Did you?
No, I may still need evidence to clear away the suspicion. At this scene, I will definitely get involved this time." Seeing that He Xi had lost his guard against him, Liu Donglin slowly lowered his raised hands and walked aside.
beside the sofa.
He Xi, who no longer doubted Liu Donglin for the time being, picked up the water glass on the table and looked at it: "There is indeed a suspicious person, but..."
"But what?" Liu Donglin asked as he began to rummage on the sofa. There were a lot of things placed on the small double sofa. He was not willing to go back empty-handed. He would have to look for money or something.
"However, there were obviously people here just now, and the water was hot." Hexi also tried to take a sip, "Well, it's very hot!"
Seeing that He Xi didn't care about the fingerprints he left behind, Liu Donglin wanted to follow the trend and focus all the suspects on He Xi. While rummaging through the things on the sofa, he said: "Detective He, you must believe me!
If someone like me can defraud some money, it’s pretty good, right? How could he possibly kill someone? Otherwise, are you looking for any clear clues?”
"Well, I saw a woman on the road, holding a bag." He Xi thought about it and really felt that what Liu Donglin said was true. After all, Liu Donglin's appearance in this murder scene was a bit too deliberate, so he started to
Search around the scene.
Liu Donglin saw that the more He Xi's fingerprints left on the scene, the happier he felt. He controlled his expression and asked seriously: "By the way, Detective He, why are you here?"
"Huang Ruihong is my client. She entrusted me to help her. Isn't it normal to come to her?" Hexi said.
