Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 15 The Blind Cat Meets a Dead Mouse

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the meeting room of the criminal investigation team, people from the field rushed back one after another. Lin Nanyue pushed open the door and walked in. He instinctively pulled the door of the room, waiting for Qiao Xingnian and Tao Hui who were following behind to come in , and then closed the door.

"Thank you Team Lin." Qiao Xingnian looked at him with a smile.

Lin Nanyue was startled, and then remembered that the two people around him were ghosts, and the door was just a decoration in front of them, and he just did nothing.He looked away in embarrassment, and glanced at everyone in the conference room.

Tao Hui walked around the room with great interest, and said, "So this is the meeting room of the criminal investigation team. This is the first time for me to come here."

Qiao Xingnian said helplessly: "Calm down, your resentment will consume their righteousness, and over time, they will get sick."

Tao Hui returned to Qiao Xingnian after hearing the words, and asked in puzzlement, "Then why is he alright?"

"Team Lin has a talisman on his body, which can offset the resentment on your body."

"Amulet? Where is it?" Tao Hui approached Lin Nanyue curiously.

Not to mention Tao Hui, even Lin Nanyue himself was a little curious, and looked down at the things on his body.

"It's the Jade Buddha on Team Lin's chest." Qiao Xingnian explained after seeing this, "The Jade Buddha is not only made of high-quality material, but also consecrated by a Buddhist master. It is a good amulet."

Lin Nanyue curiously took out the pendant around his neck. It was brought back by his parents when they went on a trip. They seemed to have said at that time that they asked Lin Nanyue to wear it next to his body, but he did not I didn't take it to heart, I didn't expect it to happen.

"It's true that there are amulets. I thought it was all tricks by those scammers pretending to be tricks and cheating money."

"There are, but there are very few on the market. Most of them are deceitful. After all, those who can consecrate objects must be masters with extremely high attainments in Buddhism. Ordinary people cannot do it."

"Oh, so that's the case, then his jade should be very expensive."

"Masters with extremely high attainments in Buddhism have long been detached from things, and they look down on ordinary things like money."

"Then how can I get this amulet?"

"Buddha has a predestined person, and Buddhism emphasizes predestined relationship. Perhaps Team Lin's parents have a predestined relationship with this eminent monk." Qiao Xingnian paused, and asked with a smile, "Why, do you want an amulet?"

"Of course I want it. I'm dead, but my parents are still alive. If I can get this kind of amulet and let them wear it properly, I can walk with peace of mind."

Since getting acquainted with Tao Hui, except for the night when he accepted his death, Qiao Xingnian had never seen him depressed. Now when he talked about his parents, he unconsciously showed sadness.

"I can also make amulets. The price varies according to the material. How about it? Do you want to buy it?"

"Buy, buy as much as you want! Hey, boss, order two for me first, and ask for the best materials. When we finally pay, we will pay together."

Lin Nanyue was a little moved when he heard the words, but since it was inconvenient for the people in the conference room to speak, he could only talk later.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Sun Jiajia walked in and said, "Captain, I'm late."

"No, sit down."

After Sun Jiajia sat down, Lin Nanyue said, "It's been a day of running, let's sort out the clues and determine the direction of the next stage of investigation. Lei Ming, you go ahead."

Lei Ming nodded and said, "Xiaojun and I visited Tao Hui's parents and his friends today. Although Tao Jian is a workaholic and stays out of the house for two days, he dotes on Tao Hui very much, almost to the point of spoiling him. What do you want?" What to give, just pocket money, tens or millions a month. Tao Hui’s mother, Liu Xiaojuan, is a housewife who has almost no say in the family. As for this Tao Hui, he developed an arrogant, domineering and lavish personality. It was also because of his lavish spending that he used money to form a small group when he was in school. He bullied his classmates all day long and became a bully in the school. Everyone was afraid of him. "

"Did you hear that?" Qiao Xingnian looked at Tao Hui and said, "This was found out by the police, so it's objective enough."

Tao Hui argued strongly: "Maybe all the people they visited were my enemies. It's not normal to say bad things about me. Anyway, I don't think I was as bad as they said before I was alive."

Lin Nanyue listened to the conversation between the two, and said, "So Tao Hui offended many people during his lifetime."

Lei Ming nodded and said, "There are quite a few. There are seven or eight classmates who bullied him when he was a student. After graduating from university, he often went to bars and other entertainment places, and there were even more people who had conflicts with others." But these are small fights, and they won't go to the point of murder."

"Campus bullying will bring a serious psychological shadow to the students, because we have not never handled this case of revenge. You and Xiaojun will implement the alibi of these people tomorrow."

"Yes, Captain."

Qiao Xingnian suddenly said, "Captain Lin, ask him if he has found out that Tao Hui was involved in a certain murder case?"

Lin Nanyue was startled, looked at Qiao Xingnian unconsciously, and quickly reflected, "Lei Ming, during your visit, did you hear that Tao Hui was involved in the murder?"

"Murder case?" Lei Ming and Zhang Xiaojun looked at each other and said, "They haven't mentioned this. Captain, why do you ask such a question? Did you find anything?"

"I just wanted to make sure Tao Hui's death was a vendetta."

"They didn't say this, but it doesn't rule out that they are hiding something from us."

Lin Nanyue looked at Sun Jiajia and said, "Sister Sun, tell me about your investigation."

Sun Jiajia nodded and said, "Tao Hui did have a call before the car accident, but he didn't answer it. It was Liu Zhaogan who made the call. This is his photo."

Sun Jiajia took out a photo from the notebook and handed it to Lin Nanyue.

Qiao Xingnian came to Lin Nanyue's side and bent down to watch carefully. Lin Nanyue noticed that he was approaching, and subconsciously tilted his body to make way for him to check.

Qiao Xingnian looked at it and said, "Team Lin, this person should be one of the men in the private room, that is, one of the regular customers that the waiter said."

Lin Nanyue nodded slightly, and said, "What is this person's identity, and how is his relationship with Tao Hui?"

"This man runs a billiards club. He and Tao Hui are college classmates. According to him, the two have a good relationship. His billiards club was jointly opened with Tao Hui."

"Closed?"

"Well, it is said to be a joint venture, but Tao Hui invested in it, and Liu Zhaoqian is in charge of the operation."

"How is the billiards club doing?"

"When we went, there were not many guests in the club, but he said that they are a membership system, and only members can enter the club, and each member must recharge at least one year's membership fee. But with the signboard of Jianhao Real Estate, the business should not be so bad Too bad."

"Where was he the night of the murder?"

"He was with Tao Hui on the night of the incident, in the Starry Night Bar, and there were four other people with them, namely Zhang Qi, He Long, Yu Xiaoxi and Chang Yan."

Lin Nanyue turned on the projector, played the video from Starry Night Bar, and said, "Are those four people you mentioned?"

Sun Jiajia nodded and said, "That's right, it's them."

"Have you visited all four of them?"

"I only visited He Long and Chang Yan, and the other two haven't had time yet."

"Did they say what happened in the bar?"

"According to them, Tao Hui went to the bar with Yu Xiaoxi that night, and the other four people arrived an hour earlier than them. Originally, Tao Hui only made an appointment with Zhang Qi and Liu Zhaoqian, and He Long and Chang Yan were Zhang Qi's friends. Followed to the bar, the purpose is to get to know Tao Hui. During the period, they drank, sang, and played games until eleven o'clock in the evening, Tao Hui said he was not feeling well and wanted to go home. After they sent Tao Hui away, they went back to the bar to continue Playing, didn't go home until one o'clock in the morning, which was consistent with the timeline of the surveillance video that the captain just released."

"Has there been any disputes between them?"

"I asked and they said no."

Lin Nanyue played another set of videos. The content of the video was obviously shot inside the private room, and the picture quality and sound were very clear.This is what Lin Nanyue found in the smoke sensor, the content of the video captured by the pinhole camera.

In the video, Tao Hui and Zhang Qi had an argument and even moved their hands. Yu Xiaoxi was also slapped because Yu Xiaoxi had an affair with Zhang Qi behind Tao Hui's back.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right!" Seeing this, Tao Hui couldn't help laughing triumphantly, and said, "Boss, do you think I have the talent to be a policeman? I can guess with just a few pictures." To the ins and outs of the matter."

"You're a blind cat meeting a dead mouse."

"No, boss, why do you always pour cold water on me?"

"I'm telling you to keep calm at all times."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Nanyue felt amused in his heart, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth slightly.Although they knew that this was a murder case, and their playful smiles were too undignified, but the deceased himself was playing tricks here, so he shouldn't be blamed.

"Captain, they're lying, and they're obviously making a confession. But why are they hiding it?"

Liu Zheng answered, "We are criminal police. If we come to ask them about Tao Hui, it means that Tao Hui's death was not an accident. There are three possibilities for murder. One is a murder for love, the other is a murder for vendetta, and the third is for money. They concealed the conflict with Tao Hui because they didn't want us to find out about them."

Yang Lin said aloud: "That means that Tao Hui's death was most likely caused by Zhang Qi and Yu Xiaoxi, it was... a murder of love!"

Sun Jiajia nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I can't rule out this possibility."

Lin Nanyue looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Bring them back tomorrow to ask. It's getting late, so go back early."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the words. They were sitting upright just now, but they suddenly became lazy and left the meeting room one after another.

Sun Jiajia looked at Lin Nanyue and said, "Captain, are you still going back?"

"I'll sort out the information again, you go back first and rest early."

"Well, then I'll go first."

Seeing that everyone in the conference room had left, Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian and said, "Why did you ask that question just now?"
