"So, you are the first person to discover the crime scene."
Ye Suling put a stack of documents on the table and looked at the two people in front of her, while Li Hao was taking notes on the side.
It was the familiar police station building again, but this time, instead of being locked in the small dark room where the suspect stayed, he was sitting in a spacious and bright office.
Yuan Mengmeng held Zhang Ke's right arm tremblingly, unable to utter a complete sentence for a while.
Not long after she called the police, the police arrived quickly and broke into the house. Then they saw the tragedy and corpses inside the house.
Although Yuan Mengmeng just glanced through the door frame, she was scared to death. Not only because she had never seen a real dead person or corpse, but more importantly, she thought of her own experience yesterday.
According to the preliminary judgment of the police, the time of death of the deceased was approximately 10 to 11 o'clock, which means -
In the lonely and dark night, alone, I came to the door of the room where a murder had just occurred. I banged on the door and made a lot of noise. At this time, the murderer was probably hiding in the room——
If the woman downstairs hadn't heard the news and came up to quarrel with him, and if he quickly ran to Zhang Ke's place, maybe the murderer would have just broken through the door and walked out - so now, lying on the ground
Xu Xiaoli’s body was not the only one.
The strong fear and aversion to cold made Yuan Mengmeng scared out of her wits. Only Zhang Ke's arms could give her some warmth.
However, if she knew that Zhang Ke was probably the mastermind of this murder, she didn't know how she would feel.
"Yes, we are all friends of Xu Xiaoli. We originally wanted to visit her this morning, but we didn't know that she couldn't get the door opened. She didn't respond when we contacted her, and the smell of blood wafted through the cracks in the door, so we called the police.
police."
Zhang Ke had already prepared a response in his heart, and of course he responded fluently at this time.
"Why did you come to visit at this time? It should be the time to go to work in the morning. Most people would not choose to visit other people's homes for this kind of thing."
Ye Suling glanced at Zhang Ke and asked a routine question, but her eyes were inexplicably wandering.
Strange, what is going on - why does she always feel an... inexplicable sense of familiarity when looking at the man in front of her?
Have you seen him somewhere? I almost asked such a question, but judging from his file, it was obvious that he had never had any interaction with him.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time that I have experienced such a sense of déjà vu, especially recently it has happened so often that it makes me feel a little nervous.
"Captain Ye?" Li Hao saw that the other party was in a daze for a long time, and finally couldn't help but remind him, "The other party has finished answering."
"Ah? What?? Oh..." Ye Suling suddenly came out of her trance and couldn't help but blame herself in her heart.
What's going on? I was distracted in the middle of investigating the situation. It's really outrageous.
"I'm sorry, can you say what you just said again?" Ye Suling had no choice but to ask again.
"It's like this. We all know the nature of Xu Xiaoli's usual work. She usually rests during the day, so we choose to visit her at this time." Zhang Ke said, "When we came back in the evening, she had already gone to work, so we could only visit her at this time.
When we met her, we just exchanged a few words and were ready to leave, with no intention of staying long."
"What are you going to say to her?" Ye Suling continued to ask, "Since you don't plan to stay for a long time, you must have something special to do and leave as soon as you finish talking."
"Yes, actually -" Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment. Of course, this was what he did deliberately. As expected, Li Hao immediately urged, "Explain everything in detail and don't hide anything. This is a police station and there is nothing to keep private."
.”
"Well, actually my girlfriend is worried about Xu Xiaoli and thinks she wants to be the third party between us, so I want to bring my girlfriend to the door and ask Xu Xiaoli to make a promise in person, so that my girlfriend can rest assured." Zhang Ke
He replied like this, while Yuan Mengmeng turned her head away shyly.
"Is that so?" Ye Suling opened the folder, took out a thin piece of paper, and then said to Zhang Ke: "However, your fingerprints, skin debris and other biological traces were found at the scene. How do you explain it?
?”
"I have been to her home before, and more than once. Isn't this normal?" Zhang Ke said calmly, "If there is really no trace at all, it would be deliberately strange, right?"
"We are asking you questions now, not for you to ask back! Answer Captain Ye well." Li Hao saw that Zhang Ke's attitude was very determined, and there was a slight sarcasm in his tone, and he subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable.
"It doesn't matter." With Ye Suling's courage, he didn't care about this at all. He just stared at Zhang Ke tightly and said:
"What you said makes sense. However, except for the various biological traces found at the scene, except from you and Xu Xiaoli herself, almost all existed in very small traces. In other words, during this period of time in her home,
You are almost the only outsider who has entered the room."
"Of course this doesn't prove that you are suspected of committing the crime, but obviously, judging from this piece of evidence, you are the only person who might have sneaked into her house to commit the crime." Ye Suling stared at Zhang Ke, her expression self-evident.
"Is that so? Indeed, Xu Xiaoli rarely invites others to her home." Zhang Ke turned to look at Yuan Mengmeng and said, "However, I was indeed not with her last night. She can testify to this."
"Yes, at 11 o'clock yesterday, I went... to knock on the door of Xu Xiaoli's house. Later, I had a quarrel with her neighbor downstairs. I was a little scared and called Zhang Ke. After that, Zhang Ke
Let me go to his house - he was already waiting for me at home at that time, we were together all night, and he had no chance to go out to commit murder." Yuan Mengmeng said hurriedly.
"I saw in your report that the victim's death occurred around eleven o'clock. If I was really the murderer, how could I leave the building in such a big way in front of Yuan Mengmeng, and then send a text message calling
Is she coming to my place?" Zhang Ke said with a smile.
"Be serious and don't be so playful." Li Hao interrupted, "What's more, she is your girlfriend, so it is not impossible that she will cover you up."
"She can protect me, but the neighbor won't. Didn't she just say that she had a quarrel with the neighbor downstairs while knocking on Xu Xiaoli's door? That person can also testify to the authenticity of all this. And I'm afraid other people around her
Neighbors also heard more or less the noise in the middle of the night." Zhang Ke said tit for tat.
