"How much hair wax have you put on? It's greasy and disgusting..."
Xu Siqi looked disgusted and wiped his hands on the guy's clothes.
The guy was so angry that he rushed forward with a fist.
Xu Siqi didn't want to cause trouble, so he took out his ID card, shook it, and shouted: "The patrol room is handling the case, sit down!"
When he saw the words "Inspector Hua" on the inside page of the document, the guy immediately became more docile than a rabbit.
The tram is still running normally.
There are many passengers in the carriage.
According to visual inspection, there are at least twenty foreigners who meet the requirements.
Xu Siqi looked at them one by one.
Before he died, Eunuch Qiao made it very clear that the murderer was a man.
Theoretically, women and children can be excluded.
In addition, shoes are also important evidence.
A blond man with blue eyes was sitting on the seat. He was wearing similar leather shoes with rippled soles.
If the car is not from the horse market, there is no need to further confirm the sole pattern.
Xu Siqi said in English: "I am a patrol officer and I am chasing a criminal. Please cooperate with the investigation."
The man shrugged: "Of course."
"Where did you get in the car?"
"Magen Road."
"Let's take a look at the ticket."
The man took out the ticket from his pocket and handed it over.
The bus station cannot be faked, and the ticket must be purchased when getting on the bus.
The man was indeed in the car on Meagan Road.
After questioning several suspected targets in succession, Xu Siqi stepped to the back of the car.
A foreign man wearing a gray top hat and a black tweed jacket was sitting in his seat reading a book. He also wore a pair of similar leather shoes on his feet.
"Excuse me, sir. Where did you get on the bus?" Xu Siqi asked.
The man raised his head—it turned out to be Father Boris of Sophie Cathedral.
Xu Siqi's heart moved and he said with a smile: "Mr. Father, nice to meet you."
Boris looked puzzled: "Who are you?"
"Father, noble people often forget things. A year ago, I went to Sophie Cathedral to investigate the case. My surname is Xu, Xu Siqi."
"Oh, no wonder it looks familiar..."
"Where are you going, Father?"
"Going to visit a church member."
"Where did you get on the bus?"
“Sophie’s Cathedral.”
"If it's convenient, can I have a look at the ticket?" Xu Siqi said politely.
Boris smiled slightly: "The patrol room is handling the case, can I say no?"
"Routine check. Sorry."
"Of course. I was just joking...this is my ticket."
Boris took out his ticket and handed it over.
The ticket showed that he got on the bus at Sophia Cathedral half an hour ago.
Xu Siqi calmly returned the ticket and said, "Excuse me."
Boris smiled and said: "May the Lord bless you."
In the following time, Xu Siqi checked all the foreign men in the car.
As a result, nothing was found.
At the next stop, Xu Siqi got off the bus.
…
At the intersection of Ma Shi North Street, Zheng Zheng leaned against the door of the Ford sedan, smoking a cigarette.
The foreign woman was handcuffed and stood silently aside.
Seeing that Xu Siqi was back, he rushed forward to greet him solemnly and asked: "I've been waiting for you for half an hour, how are you doing?"
Xu Siqi shook his head gently.
"Not in the car either?"
"No."
"Just check the ticket..."
"I checked the tickets and they are not from the horse market."
"This is so strange..."
Zheng Zheng thought the same as Xu Siqi, thinking that the murderer must have taken the opportunity to get on the tram because of the trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"What happened to that woman?" Xu Siqi asked.
He solemnly said: "Oh, she is a nun from Sophie Cathedral, her name is Lisa. I asked her why she ran away, and she said she was going to go back to the church by car, but found that the direction of the bus was in the opposite direction..."
Xu Siqi knew very well that the Haitang family murder case, including the deaths of Tian Baocheng and Eunuch Qiao, was most likely related to Boris!
Lisa should be the peripheral person responsible for covering.
In assassination operations, all special agent organizations are basically the same and will arrange cover plans.
It doesn't mean that you can just walk away after killing someone.
Without careful arrangements, it would be easy for police officers to follow clues and find you.
There must have been Boris's accomplices on the tram just now.
The accomplice got on the bus at Sophie Cathedral and bought two tickets in advance, which was equivalent to having an alibi.
The murderer may be Boris or his accomplice.
Regarding the background of Sophie Cathedral, Xu Siqi was as clear-eyed as he knew they were a spy agency.
What to do about this matter, he was still unsure about paying attention.
After all, the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party was extraordinary.
He also understood now that Lisa ran away as soon as she saw him. The two of them had seen each other last time at Sophie Cathedral.
"Let the person go."
"Let it go?"
"right."
"After a long time of hard work, we finally caught a suspect. Why should we take him back for interrogation?"
"The murderer is a male, wearing a pair of size 8 leather shoes. Lisa's feet are not even size 6, which is obviously inconsistent with the evidence. Besides, the Soviets are very troublesome. If it causes a diplomatic incident, the gain outweighs the loss."
"But, I always feel that this woman is lying."
"Surveillance works better."
Xu Siqi had no choice but to do it temporarily.
He nodded solemnly, walked over, took out the key and opened the handcuffs, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Sister. It was just a misunderstanding. You can leave."
Lisa glared at him and hurried to the tram stop.
Ten minutes later, a police car sped over.
As soon as the car door opened, Zhang Huan jumped out of the car first, followed by more than a dozen Chinese arresters carrying rifles.
Xu Siqi gave a few brief instructions, and Zhang Huan took people to Eunuch Qiao's house.
As a Chinese detective, there is no need to do everything personally. Naturally, the tedious investigation process is left to his subordinates.
"Siqi, when you were chasing Lisa just now, why did you suddenly stop chasing her?"
"I found out she was a woman and immediately realized that I was chasing the wrong target."
"How can you tell that she is a woman?" Zheng Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Xu Siqi smiled: "Intuition."
At that time, Lisa was wearing a peaked cap and a wide scarf, so it was impossible to tell whether she was a boy or a girl.
Xu Siqi said this just to cover up.
In fact, the way Lisa ran reminded him of Gu Qingcheng for no reason.
There are always differences in the habits of men and women.
Xu Siqi was worried that if the explanation was too detailed, Zheng Zheng would easily lead the topic into a ditch.
He solemnly lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "Don't worry, if Eunuch Qiao gets the gender wrong, the direction of the investigation will be completely wrong."
"Probably not." Xu Siqi opened the door and got in the car.
Zheng Zheng suddenly smiled: "I heard that eunuchs have very good noses and can tell whether they are men or women by smelling them. Maybe Eunuch Qiao relied on this special ability to guess that the murderer was a man. Do you think so?
, The murderer doesn’t want people to see him, so he must be wearing a mask or something..."
