Chapter 126 Suicide or Homicide?

Holding a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, Xu Jiao was satisfied.Peeled two, and handed the yellow-orange-orange chestnut meat to He Lianshu, "Come on! Didn't you say you're hungry?"

He Lianshu frowned and looked at the two chestnuts, and finally stretched out his hands to twist them, put them in his mouth, chewed them twice, his brows frowned even tighter, and he said with a look of disgust, "What a big Wei, Are there no other snacks to sell besides sugar-fried chestnuts?"

Xu Jiao remembered how much the gentleman in front of him hated sweets. They were the only two eating snacks together, and they were all stir-fried chestnuts. No wonder he disliked it so much. Xu Jiao almost couldn't help laughing out loud, "No way. ! This sugar-fried chestnut is sweet and soft, not worse than the one we ate last time! I like it very much!"

This sentence is obviously very common, but the ending sound fell on that liking, but it made He Lianshu's heart tremble inexplicably. Didn’t eat it! How do you know it’s sweet and soft?”

While peeling the chestnuts, Xu Jiao raised her pink lips, "I just know!" While speaking, the chestnuts were peeled, and the yellow-orange-orange chestnut flesh was thrown into her lips. She chewed it twice and said "hmm" in satisfaction "It's really sweet and soft, very delicious!"

The corner of He Lianshu's mouth twitched slightly, and something seemed to melt in his eyes, but when it was about to melt, he turned dark again, "According to what we discussed earlier, it is best to change you back tomorrow. Let someone send you to Donna's residence for one night."

"What about you?" Xu Jiao raised a pair of black and white eyes to look at him, "Doctor Helian wants to try the case overnight?"

He Lianshu frowned and remained silent, without responding.

Xu Jiao reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and shook it skillfully, "I want to go with you, I'm a woman, and it is said that men and women see things from different angles, maybe I can discover what you haven't. What about things? What's more, this matter is related to Xu Yi, and I am also very concerned, so I can figure it out as soon as possible."

He Lianshu looked at her wet eyes that looked like a deer in the forest, the pleading inside was clearly written, he snorted, "You are confessing!"

"So, do you agree?" Xu Jiao looked at him anxiously.

He Lianshu looked down, fixed his eyes, frowned and said, "You just grabbed my sleeve with your hand after peeling the chestnuts, isn't it dirty?"

Still disgusted?Xu Jiao was not annoyed at all, smiled and let go, took out a handkerchief and wiped his sleeves clean, then looked up at him again, "Captain Helian, let me go together, okay? "

He Lianshu slightly raised his chin expressionlessly, "Okay! Seeing your sincerity, I agree."

The ancients said, the first time is born, the second time is cooked.

The second time he visited the police department, Xu Jiao felt that his mentality was much calmer.

Even if he walked into the mortuary, he wouldn't scream in fright, and even hid directly behind He Lianshu.However, she tried her best to imitate He Lianshu's appearance, with her hands behind her back, but her eyes still unconsciously dodged the corpse on the autopsy table.

He Lianshu didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he raised his leg and took a step to the side, right between Xu Jiao and the autopsy table.

Xu Jiao raised his eyes and looked at the back of the man who was like a solid mountain in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flickered twice, and a soft smile appeared.

At this moment, He Lianshu suddenly turned his head to look at her. When she was confused, she saw him frowning and stretching out his hand towards her, and she suddenly reacted, and hurriedly handed out the portrait rolled into a tube in her hand.

He Lianshu took it, and handed it back to Di Dao Dao who was nearby, "Look at the portrait and go to Lan Zhou's servants to find him."

This portrait was just after they returned to the government office, Xu Jiao was brought to the study by He Lianshu, and he drew from his memory the appearance of the young servant who also had marks similar to those of the assassin.

Right now because of the floating corpse case, everyone in Lanzhou is being questioned one by one, and because of He Lianshu's confession, the Fang Xun guest who was in Lanzhou tonight was left in Lanzhou for questioning, while the people inside Lanzhou were questioned. All of them were taken back to the police prison.

This would make it easier for them to find the boy, if he hadn't escaped in time.

Di Day answered "Yes" and went out with the portrait.

He Lianshu then turned to look at Lin Yuzuo, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"

Lin Yuzuo just finished his work, covered the body with a white cloth, cleaned his hands, then turned around and saluted Helian Shu, "It is true that he died by drowning, and the time is from the end of You to the beginning of Xu tonight, and you can't see it." There are obvious signs of homicide."

"Is there any sign of being drugged in front of you?" He Lianshu asked again.

On the way back from Yanzhi River to the Police Guard, Xu Jiao and He Lianshu talked about the case while peeling and eating fried chestnuts, and listed many possibilities, which now need to be ruled out one by one.

Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Please forgive me for not being good at learning, and I don't know how to tell whether the deceased has been drugged before his death."

He Lianshu looked at Xu Jiao, Xu Jiao was ashamed, she was not an expert in this field, she was just talking nonsense based on the experience of watching some criminal investigation dramas, but she forgot that the current level of autopsy is not up to the standard of testing the blood of the dead, Or dissect the corpse, check the residue in the stomach of the deceased, and confirm whether there is an anesthetic component in it.

In addition, the corpse was soaked in water, so even if there were any traces, they might have disappeared.

He Lianshu asked a few more questions, and Lin Yuzuo answered them one by one. Xu Jiao was a little disappointed. It seemed that she really didn't have the talent to be a detective.

At this time, Su Le, who was sent to Lanzhou to search carefully, came back and brought a topographic map of Lanzhou that He Lianshu specially requested.

The time was short, but fortunately, Su Le was used to seeing maps before, and although the floor plan he drew was rough, he could understand it.

Xu Jiao went up to have a look, then suddenly reached out and pointed at a point in the picture, "Is this Pipa's room?"

"That's right! Pipa is the personal maid who is in charge of serving the lotus room, so she lives in the ear room of the lotus room."

Xu Jiao's fingers had drawn on the picture, following the marks drawn by her fingers, she tapped a certain place, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at He Lianshu.

The two looked at each other and exchanged a look of mutual understanding.

Xu Jiao rolled his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Perhaps... a basin of water can drown people. Pipa's room is at the back of that row of wing rooms, very secluded. Outside the rear window is the waterway of Lanzhou. After a person drowns, then push into the waterway, wouldn't anyone be aware of it?"

"But this person has the instinct to survive. If someone wants to kill her, she will naturally resist. But Pipa's room is clean and tidy, and there is no such trace."

"Then is there a water basin in her room?" Xu Jiao asked.

Su Le thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Of course there are. Moreover, there is no water in the basin."

Xu Jiao was a little disappointed, there was no water in the pot... Then the previous idea was not valid?
"It's not unusual to have a basin without water. What if the murderer cleans up the scene after killing someone?"
