Chapter 9 Revisiting the Horse House
Fuxing South Road was originally a bustling area, surrounded by high-rise buildings, but Sullivan's apartment was like an isolated island, hidden under the light and shadow.A small dim light flickered in front of a window.At this time, Xiaoman was writing a diary in front of the desk, and the picture frame on the desk was a group photo of a young man and woman and a little girl.

At this time, there was a heavy closing sound.

Xiaoman put down her pen, walked quietly to the door of the room, and slowly opened a crack in the door, only to see Luo Fei sneaking out of the house with a small bag on his back.Luo Fei was dressed as a gentleman, but he was carrying such a strange and unsuitable small bag, which made Xiaoman very curious.

Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, then followed out cautiously.

The two left the apartment one after the other.Luo Fei beckoned to a taxi that seemed to be an appointment.

"Sir, please close the car door." The driver looked back at Luo Fei.

"Wait, there's another one..." Luo Fei glanced at Xiao Man who was hiding behind the door of the apartment, "Detective Qin, can you come up?"

After a while, Xiaoman slowly turned out from behind the door, putting his hands in his pockets, pretending to be surprised: "Huh? Where are you going?"

"I see that you have nothing to do, so can I show you some face by taking you for a walk in the horse mansion?" Luo Fei said angrily.

"Didn't you go there during the day?" Xiaoman frowned.

"Some things cannot be seen during the day." Luo Fei fell into a state of closing his eyes and meditating again.

Xiaoman jumped into the car and whispered to Luo Fei: "You don't mean to break into a private house, do you?"

"I've said it all." Luo Fei turned to Xiaoman, closed his eyes and smiled slightly, "It's us."

"I don't know how to break the law." Xiaoman refused sternly.

"Really?" Luo Fei raised his head and asked with a smile.

When Xiaoman hugged her shoulders and looked up at Luo Fei climbing up and down the courtyard wall of the Ma Zhai, Luo Fei turned around anxiously: "Can you give me a hand?"

"Who can trust you?" Xiaoman asked intentionally.

"Who else is there besides you inside and outside the courtyard, could it be the dog inside?" Luo Fei slipped down again after speaking.

"Are you begging for help?" Xiao Man poked Luo Fei's armpit lightly with his cane.

"Hey, you're not going to help." Luo Fei was so itchy that he let go of one hand, turned to press the fire, turned his head and said to Xiaoman in an exaggeratedly soft voice, "Detective Qin, please hold your hand high. Give me a butt."

"That's about the same." Xiaoman walked behind Luo Fei and poked his stick on the ground, letting Luo Fei step on it for strength.

When Xiaoman saw that Luo Fei was about to go up, he kicked down the cane again.

"But I won't help you break the law!"

"You!" Luo Fei was so frightened that his feet were hanging in the air, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to push himself up, his body trembling, and finally turned over the top of the wall.

Sitting on the top of the wall, Luo Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Xiaoman fiercely. Before he could reply, he lost his balance and fell obliquely into the yard.

When Luo Fei just got up and raised his head again, he saw Qin Xiaoman landed lightly and gracefully.

"Detective Qin, now you and I are in the same boat." Luo Fei sneered and spread his hands.

"You broke into a private house, and I found a suspicious person climbing the wall, so I followed up to investigate." Xiaoman argued tit-for-tat.

"Okay, then follow your suspicious person closely, and don't lose it." Luo Fei walked quickly towards the garage after speaking.

When the two of them approached the garage door one after the other, Luo Fei suddenly bent down and reached for something in his satchel.

Immediately after, Xiaoman smelled a smell of meat, and couldn't help wondering: "What are you buying?".

"It's time for supper." Luo Fei said, staring at the garage in the distance.

"what?"

Xiaoman was about to see what delicious food this particular private detective had brought, but Luo Fei only took out two meat buns in the end.

"I think it's something with taste, but two are enough..."

Just as Xiaoman was about to reach out to pick it up, Luo Fei threw the bun towards the kennel by the door of Kuqa.The big dog rushed out immediately, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and lay down on the ground after a while, motionless.

Witnessing this scene, Xiaoman's embarrassment immediately turned to anger, "You actually poisoned his dog to death?!"

"It's just sleeping pills, let it be quiet for a while." Luo Fei stood up and pointed to his satchel, "I still have it here, do you want it?"

Xiaoman also ignored Luo Fei and went straight to the garage.

After the two entered the garage, Luo Fei turned on the flashlight and carefully inspected the car.

"Is there something wrong with this car?" Xiaoman leaned over.

"The Ma family dismissed the servants, and no one even cleaned the most commonly used tables and chairs in the living room, but this car was cleaned, don't you think it's unreasonable?" Luo Fei touched the car door with gloves on, and lifted the car. Hand to Xiaoman to see.

Xiaoman pointed to the dust on the gloves, pouted, "Where is it clean, it is obviously full of dust!"

"You're spoiled. It looks like you haven't done any housework. These paper scraps and dust are obviously left by sweeping graves in the suburbs three days ago." Luo Fei clapped his hands and said.

After hearing this, Xiao Man nodded, "Yes, after Ruan Mengzhu disappeared, Ma Boyuan mentioned that he visited his father's grave three days ago."

Afterwards, Luo Fei took out his handkerchief again, wiped off a small piece of dust on the car door, and sniffed it closer, "But this car has been put on new wax, it won't last more than five days."

Xiao Man disagreed: "This only shows that Mr. Ma likes his car."

"It may also be to cover up the marks on the car body." Luo Fei said as he carefully inspected the car body and found small scratches on the door.

Luo Fei took out tweezers from his pocket, and picked out a small piece of nail stained with red nail polish in the crack of the car window.

"What is this?" Xiaoman wondered.

"Women's nails, red Likou nail polish." Luo Fei said.

Luo Fei followed the direction of the scratches and turned his attention to the tires and the bottom of the car.Luo Fei shone a flashlight into the depths of the wheel hub, and Xiao Man came over to look, and the two of them immediately found bloodstains in the tire tread.

"What's that?" Xiaoman pointed to a yellow piece twisted between the bearing and the hub.

"I want to know too." Luo Fei nodded, then looked at Xiao Man, and looked at the tires again. Xiao Man glared at Luo Fei, reached in and took out a small piece of ginger-colored rag piece.

"You guys are right about the cheongsam with ginger sauce and yellow cloud crepe." Luo Fei twisted the cloth and said to himself.

Little Manchester United thought about what Ma's mother and son had said during the day, and surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

At this time, Luo Fei turned his head and looked at the gravel path.

"What did you discover again?" Xiaoman always felt that her thinking had not kept up with Luo Fei.

"Shh..." Luo Fei put his finger between his lips.

"This woman in a ginger-yellow cloud crepe cheongsam walked to the right side of the car..." Luo Fei clasped his hands against his chin, as if he had entered a state of reasoning, and everything seemed to be replaying in his mind.

Xiaoman looked closely at Luo Fei's face, but Luo Fei suddenly got up and walked quickly to the bushes in front of the garage.

"This is the place where a car ran over a person and left a lot of blood. Afterwards, the blood-stained sand was replaced with new sand to cover it up." Luo Fei pointed to the gravel.

"During the day, you originally suspected this?" Xiaoman suddenly nodded.

At this time, Luo Fei took out a handful of soil under the sand and rubbed it away in his hands, "I guessed right, there are bloodstains."

Immediately afterwards, Luo Fei followed the traces on the ground and walked quickly towards the bushes.

"The driver realized that the situation was wrong at this time, and the car crashed into the bushes beside him in a panic." Luo Fei stood still in the bushes, stretched out his hand to draw a route from the garage to his feet, "The real situation that night Yes, Mr. Ma was driving out to have fun, but Mrs. Ma stopped him, but was accidentally run over by his own car and died."

"How do you know it's night?" Xiaoman asked.

"Because Ma Boyuan said it himself." Luo Fei smiled.

Xiaoman recalled how Ma Boyuan hesitated and hawed when he was in the bedroom during the day: Actually that night...

"So Ma Boyuan drove over Ruan Mengzhu to death. In order not to arouse suspicion, he reported a false report to make everyone think that Ruan Mengzhu had left home and disappeared... But where is the body?" Xiaoman frowned and looked around.

"If you killed someone, where would you hide the body?" Luo Fei looked sideways at Xiaoman.

"Buried in the garden." Xiaoman snapped his fingers.

Luo Fei smiled and nodded: "Finally, I have some common sense. It is simple and safe to bury in my own garden. When I passed by here during the day, I could tell at a glance that there were traces of buried things in the garden. In the southwest corner, the dug lawn has recovered. The original shape, but the grass will inevitably fall to this side."

"Strange?" Xiaoman stroked her chin and looked at Luo Fei with a serious face.

Luo Fei looked down at the whole body: "What did you find?"

"When you were in the patrol room during the day, you felt dirty everywhere, why now...?"

"I didn't expect you to have some observation skills." Luo Fei laughed.

Xiaoman rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Luo Fei stopped Xiao Man with his cane.

"I'll notify the patrol room right away to get the body out."

"No, it's nothing to praise you, the corpse is not in the garden now." Luo Fei shook his head.

"Why?" Xiaoman looked puzzled.

"Don't keep asking, observe for yourself." Luo Fei used his cane to guide Xiaoman towards the garage again.

"My wife is gone, I don't go to her natal home, I don't ask friends, I don't urge the police to handle the case, but I go to the suburbs to sweep graves, don't you think it's strange?" Luo Fei said as he walked, and he didn't forget to use his cane when passing the kennel. He poked the sleeping dog.

When Luo Fei opened the trunk, the two immediately saw a shovel in it.Luo Fei touched the soil on the shovel with his hand, and sniffed it under his nose.

"No more than three days of new soil."

Luo closed the trunk, opened the rear door, got into the rear seat and carefully took photos with the flashlight.

After a while, Luo Fei came out and shined a flashlight on a long hair in his hand, muttering to himself: "If I guess correctly, this is Mrs. Ma's hair."

At this time, Xiaoman suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Someone is coming!"
