Chapter 11 Showdown, Did You See It That Night?

At eleven o'clock at noon, Gu Xiao and Jiang Weilan walked out slowly from the gate where Xin Yuelai cooked vegetables.

"Any ideas?"

Gu Xiao casually asked Jiang Weilan a question.

"Well, I'm thinking... Is this meal breakfast or lunch?"

Gu Xiao:? ? ?

"Haha, I'm joking."

Jiang Weilan blinked, and immediately became serious again: "Although the restaurant proprietress's words can't be used as evidence, it proves that Chen Qinglin and Zhang Lihua have a very deep relationship, so... Chen Qinglin's motive for killing is actually not that strong. "

There are many witnesses in the 107 case file. Although there are gossips that Zhang Lihua had an affair with the factory manager, the parties strongly denied it. Jiang Weilan also believed that Zhang Lihua had not cheated.

So... what about Chen Qinglin?
In fact, his heart is also very clear.

He clearly knew that those gossips were not true, they were just jokes borrowed by everyone to laugh at his incompetence.

…………

Hearing Jiang Weilan's answer, Gu Xiao who was at the side just nodded. He didn't speak again, but walked forward.

Jiang Weilan silently followed behind Gu Xiao, and along the way, both of them fell silent again by coincidence.

This road is Chen Qinglin's way home!
The surrounding scene became more and more familiar, and Jiang Weilan's heart became more and more excited.

"arrive."

When Gu Xiao's voice sounded again, the two of them had already arrived at the downstairs of Chen Qinglin and Zhang Lihua's house.

Because of the murder case, the few remaining families in this old building also moved out, and... Chen Qinglin's house was sealed, even if they were lawyers, they could not enter at will.

Gu Xiao just reached the gate on the second floor, Jiang Weilan followed, unable to enter the door, the two stood at the door, Jiang Weilan turned his head to look at the stair railing on the side, there were people who moved recently, and the person on the stair railing There is less gray on the contrary.

Gu Xiao looked at his watch again.

"According to the testimony of the neighbor next door, I heard Chen Qinglin and his wife arguing at around nine o'clock in the evening."

Seeming to see through Gu Xiao's thoughts, Jiang Weilan said softly, "It was mentioned in the confession that the quarrels stopped around ten o'clock, and Zhang Lihua must still be alive at that time."

Gu Xiao glanced at Jiang Weilan indifferently, as if he was quite satisfied with her performance. The next moment, he said in a serious tone: "Chen Qinglin came back home drunk, the distance from the restaurant to his home, because of Drunk, he should have walked for four to five or 10 minutes. A drunk man stumbled along the way, and the possibility of falling and falling was very high, but...the injury on his face was definitely not from a fall. The police suspected that he had fought with Zhang Lihua wounds left when

Regarding this, Gu Xiao has always been skeptical. According to Zhang Lihua's autopsy report, she did not undergo any violent struggle before her death. Apart from fatal injuries, there was only a small wound on her arm, which was also left by the fruit knife.

Here... there are many suspicious things.

If the two people really had a relatively intense physical conflict at the time of the incident, it is impossible for Zhang Lihua to have no other scars on his body, unless she had been beating Chen Qinglin unilaterally all the time, and Chen Qinglin couldn't bear it, and finally picked up a fruit knife and violently wounded others. fatal!

This is also the conclusion of the police's final investigation, which seems very reasonable.

However, Gu Xiao only believed in his own investigation.

He had to completely simulate the trajectory of Chen Qinglin's actions on the day of the incident, so that he could discover clues that others could not!

Of course... the reason why I chose daytime instead of nighttime is naturally because my vision is better during the daytime.

and……

He already had a plan, if he didn't find anything during the day, he would come again at night!
"Actually, I also discovered a little bit!"

Seeing Gu Xiao's pensive expression, Jiang Weilan subconsciously straightened her back——

Stand back, I'm about to start acting!

"Under normal circumstances, quarrels and fights between husband and wife are temporary. After the fight, they will enter a period of calm, and then... basically it will be over, and some will shake hands and make peace. This is the old saying Fighting at the end of the bed. Since the two stopped arguing before ten o'clock, why was Zhang Lihua killed after 10:30? According to Chen Qinglin's weak and incompetent character, if he dared to kill, he would most likely kill impulsively. I will do it when I quarrel. I will never think of killing someone half an hour or an hour after the quarrel."

Jiang Weilan talked eloquently, looking confident: "Do you think it was because the two had a quarrel and started a fight, and Chen Qinglin was dazzled by alcohol and anger, and stabbed Zhang Lihua with a fruit knife, and then he reacted When I came here, I regretted it, got scared, and ran away from the door..."

While speaking, Jiang Weilan's eyes fell on the door again: "If Chen Qinglin left..."

"Because I was too flustered, I didn't close the door tightly."

Gu Xiao answered from the side: "It's because neither of them noticed that the door was not closed, so it gave the real murderer a chance."

"Yes, that's it."

Jiang Weilan nodded seriously.

At this moment, Gu Xiao who was at the side looked at Jiang Weilan suspiciously: "You are so sure, did you see it?"

Jiang Weilan: ...

You may not believe it, but I really saw it with my own eyes!
"Ha ha."

Jiang Weilan smiled awkwardly: "Boldly assume, carefully verify! After all... any possibility exists, doesn't it?"

This time, Gu Xiao nodded seriously, then turned around and walked downstairs.

When they got downstairs, Jiang Weilan just wanted to remind Gu Xiao something, but saw Gu Xiao closed his eyes and meditated for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his eyes, chose a direction, and strode forward.

What the hell!

Jiang Weilan almost cried out.

Because the road that Gu Xiao chose... was exactly the one that Chen Qinglin took that night.

Brother, how about we have a showdown, did you see it that night?

Otherwise, how did you choose so accurately?

After all, Chen Qinglin's house is a small alley, and there are many small roads here and there.

"Why... did you choose this path?"

Seeing that Gu Xiao's turns and turns coincided with Chen Qinglin's route that night, Jiang Weilan was really shocked.

Gu Xiao's pace was very slow. Although Jiang Weilan's murmur to himself was very quiet behind him, Gu Xiao still heard him. His footsteps paused slightly, and then he whispered: "When you analyzed the relationship between their husband and wife just now, didn't you Is the analysis sound? The proprietress also said that Chen Qinglin has a deep affection for Zhang Lihua. He loves and fears Zhang Lihua. If you are Chen Qinglin, your work is unsatisfactory, and your wife is rumored to be cheating on you. Now, you are still getting a knife because you are drunk If you stabbed your wife, I'm afraid she will never forgive you this time, so... what do you think?"

Gu Xiao's tone was very flat.

He carefully analyzed Chen Qinglin's character traits, and... there was one thing that others didn't care about, but Gu Xiao cared about it——

Chen Qinglin and Zhang Lihua have been married for many years, but they have never had children.

In the morning, the proprietress of the restaurant accidentally mentioned that Chen Qinglin said that he was "not a man", which might sound like a contempt for his own weakness and incompetence, but Gu Xiao had other ideas...
