078 The woman in red(1/2)
"No...I don't know you!"
Ah Cai's answer was beyond all of our expectations.
I carefully observed A Cai's every move and noticed a flash of panic in her eyes when she said "I don't know you."
"Nan Jinghui has been looking for you for nearly two years. How could you not know him?" I spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
A Cai didn't seem to expect that we would investigate so clearly. As soon as I finished speaking, her whole body began to tremble continuously.
Jiang Bing and I stared at A Cai closely. A Cai was trembling, and the corner of his mouth twitched and shouted: "Don't care about my business... Don't care about my business... Nan Jinghui is dead, right?"
I did it, not me!”
"Did you know that Nan Jinghui is dead?!" I looked at A Cai in shock.
A Cai bit her lip and said, "I know... I know."
"How did you know that Nan Jinghui was dead?" Jiang Bing's eyes were like ice, staring at A Cai.
Under Jiang Bing's gaze, Ah Cai couldn't help but tremble, and said with a horrified expression: "Yes... I was the one who called the police saying that Nan Jinghui was dead."
"Did you call the police?" I felt even more incredible: "In other words, you were the first to discover Nan Jinghui's death?"
Ah Cai firmly grasped the armrests of the chair with both hands and nodded heavily.
Jiang Bing, who was on the side, tilted his head and said to me: "The police station in the west of the city received the call. When I asked, the people at the police station said it was a woman who called the police."
Jiang Bing told me this because he wanted to say that what A Cai said was not a lie.
I nodded and looked at Ah Cai and asked her: "How did you find out that Nan Jinghui died in his own home? Why did you say that you didn't kill Nan Jinghui at the beginning?"
Ah Cai did not finish answering my question, but repeated in an extremely frightened manner: "No... no, Nan Jinghui did not die at his own home! He did not die at his own home!"
Jiang Bing and I looked at each other and were a little confused about what A Cai said. Just when I was about to ask A Cai, my cell phone actually rang.
Originally I didn't plan to answer the call, but when I took out my phone and saw the caller, I hesitated.
The caller was Liuzi. Normally, he wouldn't call me unless something happened, and Xu Tianhao's job in the forensic department shouldn't be anything.
I was afraid that Liuzi was really in a hurry, so after a little hesitation, I swiped to answer the call. Before I could speak, an urgent voice came from the other side.
"Nan Jinghui did not die at his own home! Nan Jinghui's home was not the first scene!"
I was slightly startled, and then I immediately recognized that this was not the voice of Liu Zi. Just when I was a little confused, the other person spoke again: "Yes, I am Xu Tianhao. The blood stains on Nan Jinghui's house just now are the same as those on Nan Jinghui's body.
The blood stain test results came out and it was found that the two blood stains were completely inconsistent! The blood in Nan Jinghui’s house was dog blood, not human blood!”
Hearing this, I suddenly looked at A Cai.
A Cai just kept saying that Nan Jinghui did not die at his home, and now Xu Tianhao called me and said that Nan Jinghui's home was not the first scene. Does A Cai really know something?
Also, when I was at Nan Jinghui's house, I felt that the smell of blood in his house was a bit strong. Although the time of death was within four hours, such a strong smell of blood should not come from human blood.
I took a breath and said, "I got it."
Xu Tianhao was silent for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it was my independent judgment that led to the mistake. I thought it was human blood..."
I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Xu, there's nothing to be sorry for. Those in our profession deal with blood stains on corpses all day long. The smell of blood is the same, and it's common sense to identify mistakes. Besides, at the time, I also thought it was Nan Jinghui's body.
The blood stains left behind..."
"I will conduct an autopsy on Nan Jinghui's body again. If I find anything, I will contact you again!" Xu Tianhao didn't talk nonsense to me, and hung up the phone after giving a final explanation.
I put down the phone and Jiang Bing frowned and looked at me in confusion.
I quietly put my head to Jiang Bing's ear, and just when I was about to speak, a scent of fragrance hit my face. For a moment, I was so fascinated by the smell that I forgot to speak.
The hot air of my breath sprayed on Jiang Bing's ears. Seeing my delay in speaking, Jiang Bing suddenly understood. He immediately pulled back and glared at me.
Although he was glaring at me, I could tell that Jiang Bing wasn't angry. I laughed stupidly, and then said solemnly: "Brother Xu called me and said that Nan Jinghui's family was not the first to suffer the incident."
The blood stains at Nan Jinghui's home at the scene were compared and found to be completely inconsistent with the blood stains on Nan Jinghui's body. The blood stains found at Nan Jinghui's home... were from dogs!"
"Also...that means Nan Jinghui was not killed in his own home, but somewhere else?" Jiang Bing was very smart. After saying this, he looked at A Cai who was sitting in front of him.
.
I nodded lightly and agreed with Jiang Bing's words.
"If Nan Jinghui died in his own home, where did he die? What exactly did you see that night? We investigated Nan Jinghui and found that the last person he saw was you, so I advise you to tell the truth...
"I took out cigarettes from my pocket, lit one, and imitated Jiang Xue's interrogation method before, imitating her tone and threateningly speaking to A Cai.
In the past, when Jiang Xue questioned suspects in this tone, I always laughed at her and said she was threatening them. Now that I think about it, this method is actually very effective.
A Cai's hands were shaking a little. She licked her dry lips and suddenly put her eyes on the cigarette I put on the table. A Cai bit her lips and said to me, "Can you give me a cigarette?"
I was stunned for a moment, then stood up, took out a cigarette, walked over to A Cai and handed it to her.
Ah Cai stretched out her hand and lit the cigarette with trembling hands.
The smoke seemed to calm A Cai. After the cigarette was inhaled into her lungs and she slowly exhaled the smoke, her trembling hands slowly stabilized.
Jiang Bing and I kept staring at A Cai, hoping she could give us an answer.
Ah Cai slowly took three puffs of cigarette before she gradually calmed down. She stared blankly at the burning cigarette in her hand and said, "Nan Jinghui comes to see me every now and then. The night he died was indeed in my house."
There!"
We had expected this result a long time ago, so we were not too surprised. I smoked a cigarette and waited for A Cai to continue.
Ah Cai took out a breath and continued: "She would call me every day before coming to see me and ask me if I had any other customers. If I said no, he would come over. I am a cheap type of lady, so for
We will do it in my rented house to save both parties money."
When talking about this, Ah Cai's expression was a bit self-deprecating.
I felt a little pity and shook my head. A big girl who has both arms and legs can't do other jobs, but she has to do this job?
Now is not the time to educate A Cai. The murder case is more important than these. I let A Cai continue.
A Cai continued: "That night after Nan Jinghui called me and made sure there was no one else, he said he wanted to come over. We have long been used to this kind of thing, so I didn't refuse him. It's just a normal situation
The distance between Xia Nan Jinghui and my home is very close. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. In the past, Nan Jinghui would come over after calling me and never delayed. Because he was also afraid of being delayed for a long time.
I have another customer here. But on that day, Nan Jinghui called me and it took him half an hour to come..."
I noticed that Ah Cai's expression became frightened, and her face was tense and scared.
Jiang Bing signaled A Cai not to be in a hurry and that it would be okay to calm down first before talking.
A Cai shook his head and said: "After Nan Jinghui came, I complained about his slow arrival. In the past, Nan Jinghui would have flirted with me, but that day he acted extremely scared and uneasy. I asked him
What's going on, he told me that he...he saw a woman in red clothes!"
"I didn't pay attention at first. There are a lot of women in this place, maybe she's just a street girl. But that's not what Nan Jinghui said. He...he said that woman had no feet and no shadow! She was...a
ghost!"
Jiang Bing and I looked at each other, and then I asked, "Do you know the specific situation Nan Jinghui mentioned at that time?"
"I don't know." Ah Cai shook his head and said, "At that time, I smelled the smell of alcohol on Nan Jinghui's body and knew that he often drank. So I thought he was too drunk and had hallucinations. I didn't continue to ask."
Although A Cai said that he didn't know the specific situation at that time, looking at A Cai's terrified look, I predicted what would happen next.
Jiang Bing urged A Cai: "What then?"
"Then..." Ah Cai's throat squirmed, and she took another puff of cigarette and said, "Then I didn't care what Nan Jinghui said, and there were two guests behind me at the time, so I urged Nan Jinghui to
I quickly started to finish the work and walked around. Nan Jinghui seemed to think that he was hallucinating after drinking too much, and he didn't pay much attention to it. But...just when the two of us reached the peak, he..."
Speaking of this, I noticed that Jiang Bing's face turned a little red, but A Cai paused here unintentionally.
I saw A Cai's face became even more frightened than before, and the cigarette in her hand was shaken out by her trembling. Even now, she is still a little unbelievable. She shook her head and said: "We have reached the peak.
At that time, Nan Jinghui suddenly pointed at the window of my rental house and screamed in fear."
"Did he see something?" I asked with a frown.
A Cai nodded and said: "Nan Jinghui pointed out the window and shouted, 'Ghost, there is a ghost' and the like, but when I turned back to look outside the window, I found nothing. But Nan Jinghui
I have been sitting on the bedside shivering and not daring to continue."
I lowered my head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Did Nan Jinghui say anything at that time?"
Ah Cai seemed to still remember the previous events, and said without any hesitation: "Yes!"
"I didn't believe him. He told me that he really saw a ghost. She was wearing a red dress and hanging upside down in my window. He also said that the woman looked familiar."
"Familiar?" Jiang Bing looked at A Cai.
Ah Cai nodded and confirmed: "What happened that night was the first time I encountered it, so I remember it very clearly. Nan Jinghui said at the time that the woman hanging upside down outside the window of my house looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Pass!"
"Which floor do you live on?" I asked.
A Cai gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth floor!"
Jiang Bing and I looked at each other with confusion in our eyes.
How could someone appear on the fourth floor? And... it's still hanging upside down!
Nan Jinghui was drinking at that time. Could it be that Nan Jinghui really had a hallucination after drinking?
To be continued...
