Chapter 89
In Tian Baichuan's apartment, Luo Fei was tapping the walls of the room with his fingers, and kept listening with his ears against the walls.

At this time, Xiaoman and Benjamin walked in, and Benjamin was still holding a hammer in his hand.

"This is the hammer you want. Did you find anything?" Benjamin walked behind Luo Fei and said.

Luo Fei shook his head: "Except for traces of the deceased and Wei Feng, there are no new discoveries."

While the two were talking, Xiao Man on the side imitated Luo Fei's knock on the wall: "Are you looking for a cubicle or a secret room?"

Luo Fei nodded firmly: "Yes, if there is really a third person at the scene when the crime happened, and he wants to disappear without a trace in less than ten seconds, the best way is to hide at the scene. "

Xiaoman turned her head and looked at Luo Fei with a smile: "You thought of the bank robbery last time?"

"That's right." Luo Fei nodded, "At that time, the robber tied all the hostages with bombs and rushed out together. The scene was very chaotic. We all thought that the robber escaped among the crowd, but we didn't expect this guy to escape in the middle of the vault. I hid for more than a week, and then swaggered out from the main entrance of the bank."

"If it wasn't for you, a clean freak, who found out that his hair hadn't been washed for more than a week, and he really slipped away, then you suspect that this room also has a mezzanine?" Xiaoman finished speaking, looking at Luo Fei.

"There is a possibility. After the crime happened, the patrol room immediately sealed off the room and sent people to guard it 24 hours a day. No suspicious person has entered or left. Maybe the real culprit is still hiding here like the bank robber." Luo Fei said and took the hammer from Benjamin.

Qin Xiaoman looked horrified, and looked around the walls: "Then he can hear what we are saying now?"

"If you hear it, you can't let him run away!" After Luo Fei finished speaking, he began to swing the hammer towards a wall, "Boom! Boom! Boom!." A few times, a big hole was smashed into the wall.

Xiaoman brushed away the dust, leaned over, then shook her head: "It's solid."

"Don't worry, this is the first one." Luo Fei smiled lightly, and motioned to Xiao Man with a firm expression, "Hold your gun well, so that the real thieves don't rush to jump over the wall." Luo Fei walked to the second wall and picked up the gun. The hammer smashed another hole.

"It's still solid." Xiao Man, holding a gun, still shook her head.

Luo Fei shrugged, then walked towards the next wall.At this time, the police detectives in the patrol room guarding the door also looked into the house, and when they saw Luo Fei knocking here and there, they all whispered and shook their heads disapprovingly.

After working for a while, Luo Fei, Qin Xiaoman and Benjamin walked to the last complete wall.

Xiaoman couldn't help clenching the pistol: "This is the last wall."

Tired and sweating profusely, Luo Fei suddenly handed the hammer to Benjamin: "Benjamin, come!"

"Huh?" Benjamin looked at Luo Fei in surprise.

Luo Fei bared his teeth and smiled: "I'm not lucky, so I'll smash it for you." Benjamin reluctantly took the hammer and swung it hard at the wall, only to hear a "bang", and a big hole was smashed into the wall.There are lights in the cave!

Benjamin smiled excitedly: "Sure enough, I'm lucky, and there's a secret room!"

"That's next door." Luo Fei said, bowing his head and walking away.

Xiaoman quickly put down the gun, followed by Luo Fei and ran away, leaving Benjamin stunned.

At this moment, the face of a middle-aged man poked out from the big hole.

"What are you doing?!"

Facing the man's roar, Benjamin threw down the hammer and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I pay, I pay!"

"Luo Fei, did you know that you would hit the next door, and deliberately left this wall for him?" Xiaoman asked Luo Fei.

Luo Fei shook his head helplessly: "Wei Feng is about to be shot, how can I have the heart to joke?"

At this time, Benjamin, who had been talking about comforting the neighbor next door, came over: "Forget it, let's not talk about money, let's talk about this wall, it's all solid, there is no interlayer, what should we do?"

Luo Fei: "Prove my first deduction is wrong, the murderer was not hiding in the house at the time."

Xiaoman looked at Luo Fei suspiciously: "Then how did the murderer disappear from a closed room within ten seconds?"

Luo Fei then pointed to the suspicious window: "It's not a closed room, you forgot, the window in the living room is not locked."

"But it's closed." Xiaoman hugged his shoulders with a puzzled expression on his face, "You can't leave the gun in the bedroom in less than ten seconds, then go back to the living room, climb out of the window, and use it again." Close the window with one hand and escape from the fifth floor."

Afterwards, Luo Fei went to the window, opened the window, looked outside, and then closed the left window, leaving the right window open.

Luo Fei started to measure the width of half of the window with his hands, and then suddenly turned around and asked Benjamin, "Benjamin, if I open half of the window, can you get out?"

Benjamin frowned: "Get out through half of the windows?"

Afterwards, Benjamin tried it, and when he stretched half of his leg out of the window, he reached the limit.Benjamin couldn't help but turned back and shook his head at Luo Fei: "It's a bit difficult, half of it is too narrow."

Luo Fei stroked his beard and stared at the half of the window frame: "What if it's a very thin person?"

Benjamin thought for a moment, then nodded: "It's possible, what are you doubting?"

Luo Fei: "I'm wondering if there's not just one murderer, but two people cooperate, can they complete the trick of disappearing in ten seconds?"

At this moment, Xiaoman seemed to understand Luo Fei's words: "You mean, one of the murderers was waiting for his companion outside the window?"

Luo Fei nodded firmly: "What the other companion has to do is to shoot, throw the gun, and then get out of the window."

Xiaoman was still a little skeptical: "Ten seconds, it's still difficult."

"There are still shoe prints in the kitchen. It really can't be done, even if two people can't do it." After Luo Fei finished speaking, his expression froze, as if he suddenly thought of something.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Fu Yuanyuan pushed the door and walked in. When she looked at the holes in the walls of the room, she was at a loss for a moment.

"Which of you is Mr. Luo Fei?" Fu Yuanyuan looked at the three people in front of the window.

Luo Fei turned around, a little surprised: "Miss Fu?"

"Oh——, you are Wei Feng's girlfriend." Xiaoman said and walked towards Fu Yuanyuan.

Fu Yuanyuan nodded: "Well, yes, I am a reporter from Hujiang News, Fu Yuanyuan."

"Miss Fu came here for Wei Feng, right?" Luo Fei asked Fu Yuanyuan.

Fu Yuanyuan shook his head in embarrassment: "No, I came here by myself. I heard from Inspector Sha that Ah Feng once accidentally injured Lu Wende's wife, and now Lu Wende wants to kill Ah Feng. So I came over to take a look as soon as I was in a hurry. What progress has Mr. Luo made?"

"I've thought of several possibilities," Luo Fei said.

Xiaoman pointed to the holes in the surrounding walls and shrugged: "But they were all knocked over."

Luo Fei immediately gave Qin Xiaoman a blank look: "I just remembered a similar secret room I encountered before, everything in the secret room was arranged in advance, and then the murderer hid in the next room and fired a shot, the sound of the gun attracted everyone to rush over , but found that it was a secret room.”

Xiaoman was taken aback: "Hide next door and shoot?"

"That's right, the psychological secret room!" Luo Fei said, and hurried out of the room, "Go, ask the residents on this floor and see what you find."

As a result, several people began to inquire door to door in the corridor of the apartment.

After some investigation and visits, Qin Xiaoman and Fu Yuanyuan walked out from two adjacent doors, looked at each other, and shook their heads.Luo Fei dragged Benjamin, who was full of fatigue, out from the third door, pressing his temples, and his face was also solemn.

"Except for the deceased Tian Baichuan's house, the other three houses are occupied by people, and they are old neighbors who have lived there for more than ten years. There is no doubt about each other's identities." Xiaoman said.

Luo Fei nodded: "And last night, before the incident, no suspicious person entered these three homes."

Xiaoman sighed in frustration: "So the possibility of the murderer hiding next door and shooting has been ruled out again."

Fu Yuanyuan asked Luo Fei again: "Is there any other way?"

At this time, the phone in Tian Baichuan's room rang suddenly.Qin Xiaoman hurried into the house.

Luo Fei still stood there, frowning and thinking: "Last night, what happened on this floor?"

After a while, Qin Xiaoman ran out of the room in a panic: "Luo Fei, the order to shoot Wei Feng has been sent to the prison!"

Several people were taken aback for a moment.

At the same time, in the prison office, Javert slowly put down the phone and looked at Lu Wende with some embarrassment.

Lu Wende looked disdainful: "How is it? Even detective Luo Feiluo can't clear Wei Feng of murder, right?"

"Sir, can you give Luo Fei some more time? He will definitely find out the truth." Javert continued to plead.

Lu Wende slapped the order on the table, his face darkened: "Inspector Sha, do you suspect that the execution order I sent was forged?"

Sha Wei waved his hands again and again: "Sha does not dare."

Lu Wende glared at Javert: "Then don't talk nonsense, shoot Wei Feng, and execute it now! Warden Chen!"

As soon as Lu Wende finished speaking, a prison police officer and two prison guards walked up to Lu Wende, stood at attention, and took the order.Afterwards, Javert watched helplessly as Warden Chen walked out of the office and carried him towards the cell.

In Tian Baichuan's apartment at night, Luo Fei sat on the ground staring at the hole in the wall, frowning.

"Luo Fei! Luo Fei!"

Hearing Xiaoman's call, Luo Fei turned his head slowly.Seeing Xiaoman standing in front of the table, he took out a soup can from the cloth bag.

"Look at you, your eyes are red and red. I'll go downstairs and buy you a can of fish soup wontons. Let's eat something first."

"Eat it, I can't eat it." Luo Fei turned around after finishing speaking.

Fu Yuan Yuan, who couldn't sit still anymore, said anxiously: "I don't know what's going on with Wei Feng's place? I want to go to Wei Feng's place."

Benjamin got up immediately: "I'll take you there."

So, Fu Yuanyuan and Benjamin walked out of the room.And Luo Fei was still sitting on the ground, but closed his eyes, and the eyeballs kept rolling.

"The windows are closed all the time, and the air is not good. I'll help you open the windows later, let's ventilate."

When Luo Fei heard Xiaoman say the word ventilation, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Ventilation?"

Xiaoman nodded suspiciously: "Yes, if there is no ventilation, the air will be bad."

"Ventilation...ventilation...ventilation..." Luo Fei stood up abruptly, with an anxious and excited expression on his face. He walked to a wall and looked up carefully.I saw a small vent above the wall, ten centimeters high and thirty centimeters wide, blocked by three white wooden strips, like shutters.

"That's the only place we've overlooked, and it's here!"

"Where are you talking?" Xiaoman hurried over.

"The vent on the top is the only place we haven't checked." Luo Fei pointed to the vent.

Xiaoman looked puzzled: "Can this hide someone?"

At this time, Luo Fei gradually regained his confident expression: "Tibetans definitely can't, but what if it's not a person hiding? Go up and have a look and you'll know."

Immediately, Luo Fei picked up Xiaoman and sent it towards the vent.

"Higher, higher." Xiaoman directed Luo Fei to aim at the vent.

"See anything?" Luo Fei asked eagerly.

Xiaoman then yanked down the white wooden fence of the air vent and threw it down.Luo Fei also shook habitually.

Xiaoman clamped Luo Fei's neck with her legs: "Don't move, hold on!"

Luo Fei suddenly felt suffocated.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoman reached into the air vent and began to feel around.

"Don't touch your hands randomly, and be careful to destroy the evidence." Luo Fei said word by word with a blushing face.

At this time, Xiaoman had already retracted her hand, looked at the black ash on her hand, and then jumped off Luo Fei's shoulder.Luo Fei suddenly grabbed Qin Xiaoman's hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"You...what are you doing?" Xiaoman asked with a blushing face.

"It's cigarette ash." Luo Fei said with certainty.

"Why is there cigarette ashes in the vent?" Xiaoman couldn't help asking, looking at her palm.

"Good question! Why is there cigarette ashes in the vent?" Luo Fei laughed slowly, and then said to Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, go to the kitchen and get me a white towel. I want evidence!"

At the same time, Benjamin had already driven to the police prison.Suddenly, gunshots came one after another from the direction of the prison execution ground.

Fu Yuanyuan was shocked: "Is it a gunshot? Did you hear it? Is it a gunshot?"

Benjamin shook his head and comforted Fu Yuanyuan: "It's not the sound of gunfire, it may be the sound of firecrackers."

Benjamin's clumsy comfort undoubtedly made Fu Yuanyuan even more desperate.

The prison execution ground was followed by another gunshot.Wei Feng, whose eyes were covered with black cloth, trembled all over.A death row prisoner next to Wei Feng fell down.At this moment, Javert closed his eyes, thinking silently the order of the fallen prisoners. Suddenly, Javert opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the prison guard pointing his gun at Wei Feng.

In desperation, Javert rushed to Wei Feng while shouting: "Keep people under the gun! Keep people under the gun!" At this time, in the empty office of the prison, the phone began to ring non-stop.

"If Javert dares to stop the execution, he can be shot together! Shoot!" Lu Wende directed the prison guards and shouted.

Immediately, all the prison guards aimed their rifles at Javert.
