Chapter Eleven: Closing the Case
The whole yard returned to tranquility again, without a trace of sound, except for the drizzle, which cast a layer of haze over the house.
Chen Ziyan, Cheng Lei and the girls gathered in the same room again, and no one spoke.
Three people died in two days, and no cause of death could be found. This gave Chen Ziyan an invisible sense of frustration. No one knew whether more people would die next or who would die next, so the shadow appeared on everyone
heart.
"I have learned some forensic knowledge and can confirm that Mrs. Lin died of poisoning and was hanged on the rope."
Suddenly speaking, Chen Ziyan seemed to want to strengthen his judgment, but for a moment he didn't know how to continue speaking.
What's the use of confirming it? If the murderer can't be caught, everything will be in vain.
Cheng Lei rarely regained his serious expression at this time, and patted his shoulder with some force, but did not speak.
Lin Xibei took his arm and held him in her arms.
Wu Yue was not jealous, but Jia Shasha's eyes flickered when she looked at the two of them.
Yang Li didn't speak. She sat in a corner beside the bed in a daze. After a long time, she sighed.
"Maybe I really don't have any talent. In fact, it was my grandfather's choice to choose criminal investigation, and I don't like it."
"No one wants to deal with corpses all day long." Cheng Lei looked at her lonely look and took over the words.
For a time, the atmosphere in the room became even more dull.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door suddenly. After Fatty Cheng Lei opened the door, he frowned at the visitor.
"I want to talk to Chen Ziyan." The person who came was none other than Zhao Yuan.
"Okay." Chen Ziyan broke away from Lin Xibei's arms, ignored her look, agreed directly, and followed him outside.
"I was thirsty just now and wanted to go to the kitchen to get a cup of tea, but I found a dead cat."
"Oh?" Seeing his serious expression, Chen Ziyan motioned for him to continue speaking.
"That was a black cat, exactly the same as the one I saw before. It died on the table. It must have drank the tea in the cup. I looked at the traces in the cup. There were cat hairs, but there was no tea left.
, so I suspect that there is so much poison in the cup that it couldn’t move even after drinking the tea.”
Leaning on the fence outside the door, Zhao Yuan looked at the yard with a calm voice.
"Why are you telling me this?" Looking at his profile, Chen Ziyan wanted to get something from his eyes.
"As long as you don't suspect that I killed the person, I'm still happy to make a friend, and this cup of tea is aimed at me."
With a raised corner of his mouth, Zhao Yuan suddenly turned his head and smiled at him.
This made Chen Ziyan's pupils shrink.
"Mrs. Lin has the habit of drinking tea in the morning and evening. You must also know that. If the murderer had killed Mrs. Lin last night, there would be no need to poison her again in the morning. Unfortunately, I also have the habit of drinking tea in the morning and evening.
I'm used to it, so this cup of tea is prepared for me."
"Who are you?" Chen Ziyan frowned tightly and stared at Zhao Yuan.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I can assure you that I did not kill the person, and it is very likely that I will be the next victim." Zhao Yuan pointed a finger on his chest, as if he was saying something related to
Things that have nothing to do with you.
"How involved are you?"
"Not much. I have participated in all Mr. Zhou's plans."
"What is the content of the will? Where is that will now? Why are Mrs. Liu's bones not in the coffin?"
After asking several questions in a row, Chen Ziyan felt that the person in front of him became more and more mysterious. He had a hunch that everything in the house was inseparable from him.
"I don't know any of these questions, so you can't ask me. This is all I can tell you, and I advise you not to investigate too much, otherwise you won't know how you died."
He stretched out a finger and shook it in front of his eyes, and Zhao Yuan's smile became even wider.
"Then you'd better protect yourself first." With a cold snort, Chen Ziyan turned around and left. After returning to the room, he closed the door heavily.
Listening to the sound of the door, Zhao Yuan raised one corner of his mouth slightly, looked at the rain falling in the courtyard, and said to himself: "It's still too young."
In the afternoon, the sound of police sirens came. It turned out that it was Zhou Ziliang who had returned from calling the police.
There were a dozen police cars in total, and almost all of the accompanying police officers were armed with guns.
After a cordon was set up, everyone was invited to the side yard to begin questioning, while several forensic doctors began examining several corpses at the same time.
Six hours later, the leading man with a Chinese character directly issued a search warrant.
Then all the police officers began a siege search of the house.
At about ten o'clock that night, a police officer discovered an underground secret room, where a middle-aged woman with white hair lived alone, looking miserable.
At twelve o'clock that night, the white-haired woman was handcuffed and put into the car, and the police siren sounded again.
Chen Ziyan and Zhao Yuan also took this ride back to the city.
Zhao Yuan was severely punished by the man with the Chinese character face because of his identity as a fake warlock, but he was immediately released. Chen Ziyan and his party, because they were students of the Criminal Investigation College, got the man with the Chinese character face interested. After some encouragement,
Let them leave too.
During the parting process, Zhao Yuan gave Chen Ziyan a big smile and said, "We'll see you later."
Looking at his back, Chen Ziyan gritted his teeth.
Tonight, the moon is shrouded in clouds, and not even a single star can be seen. Just like Chen Ziyan's mood, there is no clear sky.
Sitting in Cheng Lei's taxi, he remained silent.
Before returning to the dormitory building, he looked up at the night sky again.
I don't know when, the half moon has appeared, just like the look in my memory, just like Zhao Yuan's eyes.
"gone."
After waking up the dormitory manager and opening the door for them, Cheng Lei pulled him in a daze and spoke.
Taking a deep breath, he followed him towards the dormitory.
It seems that because he returned to the dormitory, Cheng Lei seemed a little excited. He lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He thought to himself that he must have a good time with those roommates tomorrow. Anyway, Chen Ziyan had a low temper and would not expose him.
What.
As for Chen Ziyan, he was lying on his back on the upper bunk, staring at the moon outside the window, thinking about something on his mind.
