Lei Mingshu lives at No. 14 Wuxing Road, Xi'ao. He is 51 years old. He comes from a small mountain village in northern Shaanxi. He lives with his nephew. He is about 175 centimeters tall. Although he is nearly [-] years old, he is strong. He has a pair of big eyes that are very bright, without a trace of gray hair. His attitude is optimistic and very masculine.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke walked into his rental house.This is a bungalow of about 60 square meters, divided into two rooms, one large and one small. He lives in the big room and his nephew lives in the small room.The large room is both a bedroom, a living room, and a dining room. There are some farm tools for growing vegetables piled in the corner, but everything is arranged in an orderly manner and the room is clean and tidy.

There is a 42-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall opposite the bed. Under the TV is a small dining table, and the kitchen and toilet are connected together.At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Lei Mingshu had not eaten yet and was cooking in the kitchen. His nephew was hiding in the room playing with his mobile phone. Because the cooking and range hood were loud, he did not notice Wu Jiang and Xiaoke walking in.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke did not regard Lei Mingshu as a suspect because according to analysis, the suspect's height was between 165 and 170 centimeters, while Lei Mingshu's height reached 175 centimeters. No matter how misjudgment, there could not be a difference of 5 centimeters. , they came today to learn about Ma Er's interpersonal relationship from Lei Mingshu, hoping to find the suspect.

Xiao Ke walked behind the thunder tree and reached out to pat his shoulder gently. He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Ke and Wu Jiang who were visiting. He quickly turned off the induction cooker and said, "Hello, police officers. I don't know. I knew you would come to my house. The house is very messy, so you can sit down wherever you want. I'll be ready soon." He said as he used a spoon to scoop the cabbage sum in the pot onto a white plate.

"Please take a seat." He walked out of the kitchen and wiped the painted wooden sofa with a dry towel.

The sofa was placed on the left side of the bed. After Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke sat down, Wu Jiang said to him: "Mr. Lei, you eat first. My father is also a farmer. He knows that returning home from working in the fields is the most hungry time. I will wait for you." We’ll ask after we finish our meal.”

"It doesn't matter. It's hot now and the food won't get cold. I ate a cucumber in the vegetable field before I finished work. I'm not hungry, but your work is more important." When he smiled, wrinkles like knife carvings filled his cheeks. , especially his forehead lines are as deep as pine bark, but his facial features are very straight, with an authentic Chinese character face, a high nose bridge, and big eyes. He should have been a handsome guy when he was young.

"Well, our problem is not complicated. You and Ma Er have a very good relationship. Who do you think will kill him?" Wu Jiang said straight to the point.

"This...it's really hard to say. In my memory, Lao Ma is a kind, kind and generous man. I have known him for three years and I have never seen him quarreling with anyone. It is impossible to cause death. "He touched his chin with his hand. His marionette lines were also very deep.

"But according to my investigation, Ma Er is not what he said. He once had a fight with Zhanliang for grabbing a lost wallet. It shows that he has a temper. And there is only 300 yuan in the wallet. If he is kind and generous, , why should it be so?"

"I don't know about this, but I believe that Lao Ma will fight with people for money. He is good at everything, but he takes money too seriously and is addicted to money. In fact, he earns a lot of money. There is no need to fight with Zhanliang over 300 yuan."

"Do you know Zhanliang?"

"I don't know him, but I heard from Ma Er that Zhan Liang is also a scavenger. He is 4 years older than Lao Ma. He should be 60 years old."

"Who does Ma Er usually hang out with? Do you have any friends who often hang out at his house?"

"He has few friends. He thinks that making friends requires money and time, so he tries not to make friends, except for me."

"Why does he only recognize you as a friend?"

"Because I like to drink with him. Almost every time I bring wine and food to his house to drink. He doesn't have to spend money, so he likes to associate with me. In fact, money is something external to the body. If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. Why are you so stingy? There is a saying that I think is right: the greatest sorrow in life is: people are in heaven and money is in the bank.”

"Is he really so stingy that he has no friends? This is impossible. Everyone needs friends. Please help us think about it. This is very important for solving the case." Wu Jiang looked at him with a look on his face. Sincerity, it makes him a little bit intolerable.

He tilted his head slightly to one side, frowning and lost in thought. At this time, the wrinkles on his forehead looked deeper. After thinking for a while, he hesitated whether to say...

Wu Jiang saw what he was thinking: "Since you are Ma Er's good friend, I think you should hope that we arrest the murderer as soon as possible and make Ma Er smile with joy, right?"

"Of course." He was still deep in thought.

"Then please tell us what you think of without any worries. We have strict discipline and will keep the confidentiality of the person being questioned."

"I only know that there are two people who have been to Lao Ma's house. One of them is a woman named Lu Hongzhu, and she has a male-female relationship with Lao Ma." His voice was loud and hearty.

"Oh, please tell me about her situation. The more detailed the better." Wu Jiang thought of the 38-size high-heeled shoe print found in Ma Er's kitchen. Its owner should be Lu Hongzhu. "I met Lu Hongzhu four times, mostly on days when it rained heavily. Because it rained heavily, Lao Ma and I couldn't go out to work, so in this weather, I would go to Ma Er's house to drink, and sometimes Lu Hongzhu was there too "Every time she comes to Lao Ma's house, she will buy vegetables and cook for Lao Ma."

"How tall is Lu Hongzhu? How old is he this year?"

"She is taller, about 167, and relatively strong. She weighs about 65 kilograms. I don't know how old she is specifically. I asked Lao Ma and he said that Lu Hongzhu is only 46 years old this year and Xiao Lao Ma is 10 years old. But, She looks older than she is, I estimate she must be 50 years old." He scratched his head as he spoke, and two hairs fell from his head.

"What kind of job does she do? How come she is with Ma Er?"

"She works as a cleaner at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Jiangnan District. Although the work is a bit harder, her income is very stable. The monthly salary is 4000 yuan, which includes room and board. The hospital has a canteen and the food is relatively cheap. She is quite satisfied. Ma Er is I met her when I went to the Maternity and Child Health Hospital to collect garbage. Maybe both of them are tall and well matched, and they developed a good impression, so they became good."

"Does Lu Hongzhu have a husband?"

"She has a husband, but I heard that her husband is an alcoholic and has been addicted to alcohol. Every time he drinks, he will beat Lu Hongzhu. She couldn't bear it, so she went from the countryside to the Yangtze River to work as a cleaner, so she is single here. , and therefore walked with Lao Ma without any worries. I have a photo of her and Ma Er while having dinner on my phone, do you want to see it?"

"Great, show it to us."

Lei Mingshu unzipped his trouser pocket, took out an iPhone 5, and pulled out a photo from the album. The photo was a photo of Ma Er and Lu Hongzhu sitting at the dinner table eating. Lu Hongzhu was sitting on the left side of Ma Er, with one hand in his hand. Holding a wine glass and making a V with one hand while posing for a photo, Ma Er lowered his head slightly and picked up the food with chopsticks. He was relatively low-key. Maybe he felt it was inappropriate to take a photo with Lu Hongzhu.

Wu Jiang sent the photo to his mobile phone and continued to ask him: "Will Ma Er spend money on Lu Hongzhu?"

"Maybe, but I don't think it's possible for Lao Ma to spend a lot of money on her. I just buy her a few cheap clothes or invite her to my house for one or two meals during the holidays. Apart from being interested in his hometown, Apart from being a good wife, he will never be truly affectionate towards other women..."

At this time, the door of the small room opened, and a young man in his 30s walked out and said to the thunder tree: "Uncle, I'm hungry, can you wait until we finish eating before we chat?" The young man had long hair and Wearing a camouflage uniform, the clothes were stained with mud.

"You eat first, I'll eat later."

The young man didn't say anything. He walked to the rice cooker, opened the lid, filled a bowl of rice with a rice spoon, and sat down at the small dining table to eat.

"Do you think Lu Hongzhu has deep feelings for Ma Er?"

"We are both sensible people, and both parties have families. How can we have deep feelings? They just play a fun game when they are lonely. However, I think Lu Hongzhu is more devoted than Lao Ma, and she is more devoted to Lao Ma. As far as horses are concerned, it’s dispensable.”

"Lu Hongzhu should live in the single dormitory of Jiangnan District Maternal and Child Health Hospital, right?"

"Yes, she said she lives in a dormitory. I don't know if it's the dormitory of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital."

"You just said that there was another person who went to Ma Er's house. Can you tell me about his situation?"

"Oh, his name is Jiang Shan. I have only met him twice. At that time, he also came to see Lao Ma for a drink. He is about 20 years old and a local. He seems to live in Tonghe Village. I don't know the specific location. He I often sell some copper wires, aluminum alloys, and steel bars to Lao Ma, so they get to know each other."

"How could they make friends with such a big age difference? Didn't you say that Ma Er doesn't like to make friends?" Wu Jiang was a little confused.

"Jiangshan is also very good at wine. He often brings wine and food to Lao Ma's house to drink with him. Jiangshan always brings good wines. Sometimes he even brings high-end liquors like Jiannanchun. This makes Lao Ma, who is also a good drinker, incomparable Huanxi, in order to drink good wine, Lao Ma is naturally very enthusiastic about Jiangshan."
