conspiracy crime 1

Chapter 8

It was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night when Ouyang Wei left Donkey's House.The cool wind blowing in the summer night made my drunken mind a little clearer.Mai Mai took his arm and walked towards the hotel where he was staying.

The night was deep, and there were no pedestrians on the streets of the town.The street lamp is like a magician, stretching the figures of the two for a while, and shortening them for a while.Along the way, Mai Mai pursed her lips tightly and remained silent, as if thinking about something on her mind.

There is a crossroad at the corner of the street, and there is a small flower bed in the middle of the intersection, and the crape myrtle flowers in it are in full bloom.

Smelling the quiet fragrance of flowers, Mai Mai stopped involuntarily and said, "Let's go over there and sit down."

Ouyang Wei nodded and sat down with her on the concrete steps beside the flower bed.

Mai Mai leaned against him, looked up at the clear night sky, and said, "Look, how beautiful the stars are in the sky!"

Ouyang Wei and Mai Mai came to this small town called Tiantangzhai for tourism, and they were accompanied by Lao Cai, Lin Yue and Zhou Dong, all colleagues of their company's finance department.

Not long ago, the tax bureau went to their company to check the accounts. The colleagues in their finance department worked together to help the company resolve an accounting crisis invisible.The company also reciprocated, giving five people in their finance department a week's paid leave, and gave them a chance to travel to the province at public expense.Lao Cai said: "I heard that Tiantangzhai is pretty good, let's go there to play." He is the director of the financial department and their leader, and Ouyang Wei and the others naturally follow his lead.

So a group of five people took the train to Tiantangzhai in Qingyang City.

When I arrived in this tourist town, I realized that it was not the right time.

Because it is the peak tourist season, the decent hotels and hotels in the town are overcrowded, and finally found two vacant double-standard rooms in a Paradise Hotel. The next accountant, Lin Yue, still has no place to live.

After being introduced by the local tour guide, I finally found a vacant room in the "Donkey Friend's House" on another street, and finally gave this beautiful Lin a place to live.

Fortunately, Lin Yue's Donkey's House is only ten minutes away from the Paradise Hotel where Ouyang Wei and the others are staying. It is not too far away, and it is quite convenient.

The carefree days of traveling in the mountains and rivers passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, they stayed in this southern style town for five days, and they will leave tomorrow.

This day coincided with Lin Yue's birthday, and everyone unanimously decided to take advantage of this wonderful last night in Tiantangzhai to hold a birthday party for Miss Lin, and the venue was set in Lin Yue's room.Going out, free and unrestrained, that night, everyone had a crazy time, singing and dancing, fighting and making noise, after drinking beer and dry liquor, by the time the party was over, it was already midnight.

When we bid farewell to Lin Yue and left the donkey friend's house, everyone was a little drunk.Lao Cai winked at Ouyang Wei, and took Jay Chou back to the hotel first, leaving only Ouyang Wei and Mai Mai strolling on the street late at night, enjoying this rare two-person world.

I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting by the flower bed at the crossroads. The night wind blows and I feel drunk. Ouyang Wei is feeling sleepy. Mai takes out his mobile phone to check the time: “Oh, it’s almost 1 o’clock. Let’s go back and rest. You have to take the train."

Why did he just sit on the concrete steps for an hour without paying attention?

Ouyang Wei was still a little confused. He reached into his pocket, wanted to take out his phone to check the time, but found that the phone was not in his pocket, and was shocked. Then he remembered that he had left his phone on the sofa in Lin Yue’s room while drinking, and forgot took it.

Mai Mai said: "Then go back and get it quickly, if you lose it, you will be in trouble."

Donkey Friends’ House is a four-story old building, which provides cheap accommodation for donkey friends from all over the world who come to Tiantangzhai. The accommodation conditions are naturally not as good as hotels.

When the two of them came here again, the lights in the administrator's room by the stairs had already been turned off, and the whole building was shrouded in darkness.

Mai Mai stood downstairs and said, "Go up and get it, I'll wait for you here."

Lin Yue lives in room 303 on the third floor.

Ouyang Wei climbed up to the third floor and knocked on the door of room 303, but there was no sound in the room.

It seems that Miss Lin has already fallen asleep.

Ouyang Wei subconsciously twisted the door lock, but unexpectedly, the door was not locked, and it opened with a twist.

He hesitated, but pushed the door open and walked in.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and an old air conditioner hung on the wall humming.

"Sister Lin Yue!" He called softly, but no one answered.

After standing at the door for a full minute, his eyes gradually adapted to the dark light in the room, and he faintly saw Lin Yue in a white dress lying on the sofa, smelling of alcohol, already fast asleep.

Ouyang Wei knew that she drank a lot of liquor today, so she was so drunk that she fell asleep without even locking the door.

There was a fluorescent paper on his mobile phone, which was shining in the corner of the sofa at Lin Yue's feet.

Ouyang Wei didn't want to disturb her good sleep, so he tiptoed over, picked up his mobile phone, turned and left.

Before going out, I wanted to help her lock the door.

But it was an old-fashioned door lock, and you had to use a key to lock the door, so Ouyang Wei had no choice but to give up, took the door behind him, and walked out.

Walking downstairs, he took a long breath and told Mai about the situation in the house.

Mai Mai curled her lips and said, "It deserves it, she can't drink enough, who told her to drink so much."

Back at the Paradise Hotel, it was already 1:[-] in the morning.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Maimai said when she came out, "I've filled a bathtub with hot water for you, you can go and take a shower."

She knew that Ouyang Wei had hemorrhoids, and the doctor said that insisting on soaking in a sitz bath for half an hour every day could prevent the recurrence of hemorrhoids.So after taking a bath every day, she would fill Ouyang Wei with a bathtub of hot water and let him soak for half an hour.

Ouyang Wei wondered if she would be so considerate after marriage.Maybe it was due to fate, Ouyang Wei had just graduated from university and entered the company a year ago, he met this beauty, fell in love for half a year, and then got a trial marriage.

They are already planning to get married next month, and the invitations have already been sent out.

Ouyang Wei took off his leather shoes at the bathroom door, soaked his body in a tub full of hot water, and immediately felt that his exhaustion had been soaked away.

In the room outside, Mai Mai was watching a Korean drama at Midnight Theater, maybe the sound of Ouyang Wei's bath water was too loud, so she turned on the TV at full volume.

Ouyang Wei was lying in the bathtub, closing his eyes and resting while soaking.Maybe it was too comfortable, and I fell asleep accidentally.Woke up from a nap and looked at the phone, exactly half an hour had passed.

He quickly put on a towel and stood up from the bathtub.When I opened the door of the bathroom, I realized that the service of this hotel was too bad. The disposable slippers in the room were worn out long ago, and no one came to change them.

Ouyang Wei had no choice but to bend down and turn the leather shoes at the door around, and put them under his feet like slippers.

In the room, Farewell to Life and Death was being played on TV, but Mai Mai was lying on the head of the bed with the remote control in her hand, and had already fallen asleep.

Looking at her snow-white thighs sticking out from under her pink pajamas, Ouyang Wei's heart suddenly exploded with fireworks. He threw away the bath towel wrapped around his body, and a hungry tiger pounced on her, and pressed her on Simmons' bed...

The next morning, when Ouyang Wei and Mai came to the restaurant next to Paradise Hotel, Lao Cai and Zhou Dong were already waiting for them at the table where they usually had breakfast.

Everyone sat for a while, and it seemed that the time for having breakfast together was approaching, but Lin Yue hadn't come yet.

Lao Cai looked a little unhappy, frowned and said, "Little Lin, what's the matter, doesn't she know that we have to catch the train after breakfast?"

Lao Cai is nearly forty years old. He is not only the head of the finance department, but also the oldest employee in the department. Asking everyone to add a small character in front of the other's surname is a bit like relying on the old to sell the old.

Hearing the director criticize Lin Yue, Jay Chou couldn't sit still.

The 25-year-old Jay Chou is the custodian of the finance department.He has always regarded himself as Lin Yue's suitor, even though he was rejected by Lin Yue face to face, he still did not give up and never let go of any opportunity to show courteousness to Lin Yue.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Lin Yue's cell phone, but no one answered.

Jay Chou said: "Maybe because I drank too much last night and overslept. You order something to eat first, and I'll go get her." He ran out without waiting for the director to nod.

Lao Cai was not too polite, ordered breakfast, and started eating first.

Not long after eating, the mobile phone in Ouyang Wei's pocket suddenly rang, and as soon as he pressed the answer button, he heard Jay Chou yelling anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Lin, Lin Yue, something happened, please call the director to come and have a look! "

Ouyang Wei told the director, and the director couldn't help but change his face, pushed the bowl and chopsticks, and took Ouyang Wei and Mai to the donkey friend's house.

They rushed into Room 303 where Lin Yue stayed, and they were all stunned.

I saw Lin Yue lying on the sofa, with a fruit knife stuck in her chest, and there were pools of coagulated blood on the sofa and the floor.

Ouyang Wei tremblingly walked over to touch her breath, she had already died, and then touched her body, it was cold and stiff, it seemed that she had been dead for a long time.

Lao Cai staggered, leaned against the door, and yelled at Mai Mai: "What are you still doing, call the police!"

Wake up like a dream, Mai Mai hurriedly took out her mobile phone and dialed 110.

Not long after, two police cars roared to the downstairs of Donkey's House.A team of policemen rushed up from the stairs, first went to the room to check, then put on white gloves, took out various instruments, took pictures, took pictures, examined traces, and autopsied autopsies, all in an orderly manner. up.

The leader was a black-faced police officer in his 40s. He introduced himself to Ouyang Wei and the others, saying that his surname was Fan, his name was Fan Zetian, and he was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Qingyang City.

Team Fan walked around the scene with his hands behind his back, sent people to look for the administrator, and called Ouyang Wei, Lao Cai, Mai Mai, and Zhou Dong to the corridor outside to ask them about the situation.

They explained in detail their identities, the purpose of coming to Tiantangzhai, and the process of discovering Lin Yue's murder.

Team Fan listened carefully, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but did not light it.

The forensic doctor came to report that after a preliminary autopsy, the deceased's rigor had extended to his upper limbs, and the plaques could not fade away with finger pressure. It was estimated that he had been dead for 5 to 8 hours.

Team Fan looked at his watch and said, "It's 8:12, which means the time of death was between 3:[-] last night and [-]:[-] this morning, isn't it?"

The forensic doctor nodded and said, "Yes, but the exact time of death needs to be confirmed after further examination."

Just at this moment, a policeman called the building manager, a skinny old man in his fifties wearing a pair of reading glasses.

Team Fan asked the old man if he heard any unusual noises in the building after 12 o'clock last night?
The old man glanced at Ouyang Wei and Lao Cai, and said angrily: "I heard some noises, but they all happened before 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. They were singing and dancing on the third floor. Could there be no noise?" ? But after they left at 12 o'clock at night, I also turned off the lights and went to sleep, and I didn't hear any suspicious noises."

After Fan Dui heard this, he frowned and took two sharp puffs of his cigarette, only to realize that there was no fire.

At this time, trace inspectors came over to collect the fingerprints and footprints of Ouyang Wei, Lao Cai, Mai Mai, and Jay Chou for comparison.

Not long after, a policeman came to Team Fan and reported that the fruit knife that killed Lin Yue belonged to the deceased's room. It had been used by many people to peel fruit before, so the fingerprints on the handle were very messy. , Collecting less than a complete, clear and useful fingerprint.

Team Fan asked, "What about the footprints?"

The trace inspector took a look at Ouyang Wei and Lao Cai, and said, "In addition to the footprints left by the deceased, there were four other footprints at the scene of the murder. After preliminary comparison, they were all left by the four of them. Outside, there is no sign of anyone else entering."

Team Fan finally lit the cigarette, blew out a puff of smoke rings, swept his sharp eyes over the faces of Ouyang Wei and the others, and finally said: "This means that the murderer is probably among the four of you." .”

Ouyang Wei and the others were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly became delicate.

Fan Dui waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Go, find four rooms, let them stay separately, and I will question them one by one. Also, collect their ID cards and verify their identities online."

When Ouyang Wei and Lao Cai wanted to argue, they were pushed away by several policemen.

The four of them were locked in four rooms, their ID cards and mobile phones were handed over to the police, and they couldn't communicate with each other.

Ouyang Wei stayed alone in a small room, facing the wall, his mood fluctuated.One is that I still can't believe that such a beautiful woman like Lin Yue, how could she become a dead soul under the sword overnight?The second is full of doubts: Could it be that the murderer who killed Lin Yue was really among the four of them?Last night, after he left the donkey friend's house, he had been with Mai Mai all the time, and it could be said that he never left. He knew that he and Mai Mai could never be the murderer.Then the biggest suspects are naturally Lao Cai and Jay Chou.

Could it be that the murderer was one of them, or did the two commit the crime together?

He was feeling uneasy when the door suddenly opened and Dui Fan walked in with his hands behind his back.

Ouyang Wei couldn't help asking: "Do you really suspect that the murderer is among the four of us?"

Team Fan said: "Judging from the evidence currently in possession of the police, this possibility is very high."

Ouyang Wei said: "I have been with my girlfriend Mai Mai all the time since I left Donkey's House last night, so we can never be the murderer. I think Lao Cai and Director Chou are the most suspect..."

"No." Team Fan interrupted Ouyang Wei, stared at him and said, "My judgment is exactly the opposite of yours. I think the person most suspected is not Lao Cai or Director Zhou, but you."

Ouyang Wei was startled: "Me? Why?"

Team Fan said: "There was a pool of blood beside the leg of the sofa where the deceased was lying, and there was a footprint from a leather shoe on the blood stain. The trace inspector told me that it was your footprint."

Ouyang Wei hurriedly said: "I went up to check Lin Yue's body just now, maybe I accidentally stepped on it at that time."

Team Fan shook his head and said, "No, obviously, that footprint was stepped on before the blood solidified."

3
After hearing what Team Fan said, Ouyang Wei's first reaction was: No, this is absolutely impossible!At the murder scene, when the blood was still wet, how could there be footprints left by me?

He frowned and thought about it, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, the party ended last night. After we left Donkey's House, I went to Lin Yue's room again." Let's go back to Lin Yue's room to pick up the phone last night. , told the police.

Team Fan's face sank when he heard that, staring at him and asking, "Is what you said true?"

Ouyang Wei said: "Human life is at stake, do I dare to tell lies at this time?"

Team Fan asked, "Then why didn't you tell me when I asked you about the situation just now?"

Ouyang Wei scratched the back of his head and said, "When I was nervous just now, I forgot about it."

Team Fan took out a notebook and said while recording: "The situation you reported is very important to us. But we need to confirm three things with you. First, are you sure that when you entered Lin Yue's room for the second time last night , it was 1 o'clock in the morning, isn't it? Second, Lin Yue's door was closed but not locked, right? Third, you did see Lin Yue lying motionless on the sofa in the dark ,Yes or no?"

Ouyang Wei nodded and said: "Yes, I can be sure of these three points. And I suspect..."

Team Fan asked, "What do you suspect?"

Ouyang Wei said: "I suspect that when I entered Lin Yue's room for the second time, she had already been killed. The blood flowed down the sofa to the floor, and I stepped on it when I approached the sofa to pick up my mobile phone, leaving footprints But because the room was pitch dark at the time, I didn't notice anything unusual, I thought Lin Yue was too drunk and fell asleep lying on the sofa."

Team Fan stared at him sharply and said, "Why do you want me to believe that when you entered Lin Yue's room for the second time, she was already dead, and it wasn't that you left your phone in her room on purpose and came back with an excuse? When you get the phone, kill her by the way?"

Ouyang Wei almost jumped up and shouted: "Don't spitting blood! First, I have no grievances or enmity with Lin Yue. I am ruthless and hateless. Why kill her? Second, from entering Lin Yue's room to closing the door, I came out. It took only two or three minutes. You are so blind, can you kill someone in such a short time?"

Team Fan glanced at him, turned his head and went out without saying a word.

Not long after, he returned to the room, his brows were slightly relaxed, and he said: "We have confirmed with Maimai that when you went to Lin Yue's room to pick up your mobile phone, it took less than 3 minutes from going upstairs to downstairs. According to the clues we have obtained from the scene, after the murderer killed Lin Yue last night, the blood spurted out in a radial pattern, so the murderer must have been stained with blood. It is impossible for the murderer to go out in blood, so he either brought a replacement in advance. Clothes, or took off your coat in the house, and washed your hands with hand sanitizer in the toilet, plus the time of the previous murder, it will take ten minutes at the fastest. So you can’t be the murderer. You can only Said, when you entered Lin Yue's room, she had already been killed, and her blood flowed on the floor, which happened to be stepped on by you."

Ouyang Wei couldn't help giving him a thumbs up: "Captain Fan, you are really perceptive."

Team Fan said: "According to our investigation just now, there was a donkey friend on the fourth floor whose air conditioner was broken last night. He got up in the middle of the night to enjoy the cool air and found that the light in room 303 on the third floor was still on. He was drinking alone. We took him downstairs to see Lin Yue's body, and he said that she was the one he saw last night."

"So, after we left at 12 o'clock last night, Lin Yue felt unfulfilled, and went to the floating platform with a glass of wine to drink alone, right?"

"It should be like this. I asked the donkey friend, and he recalled that it was about 12:12 in the night. That is to say, Lin Yue was still alive at 1:[-] last night. When you came back at [-]:[-] in the morning, she was already dead. "

Ouyang Wei said: "In this way, it can be concluded that she was killed within half an hour between 12:1 and [-]:[-] last night, isn't it?"

Team Fan said: "Yes. Based on the clues provided by you and this donkey friend, we can basically determine the time of Lin Yue's death, which was between 12:1 last night and [-]:[-] am today."

Ouyang Wei said: "During this time, Mai Mai and I were sitting by the flower bed at the crossroads looking at the stars."

Team Fan said: "If you and your girlfriend are telling the truth, then both of you can be ruled out of suspicion."

After hearing this, Ouyang Wei heaved a sigh of relief.
