Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

In the past few days, the headlines in newspapers and magazines in K-city are all about the "has-been" actor Zheng Xiu.

He was a movie star in the 70s. He made his debut as a dragon and tiger boxer in his early years. He made many martial arts movies, but he has never been popular.

This is normal. Zheng Xiu looks handsome and gentle, but when he plays a knight or swordsman, he always lacks a bit of domineeringness.

After a simple transformation, from 1976 to 1980, Zheng made some romantic films and gained many female fans. In 1981, he became the best actor with a literary film by a great director.

As his career was on the rise, the media broke the news that Zheng Xiu had gotten married early and had a seven-year-old son named Zheng Shaoyu.

Although Zheng Xiu came forward to explain: Yes, I have a son who was born to my girlfriend, and I have now broken up with my girlfriend.

But as soon as this news came out, it broke the hearts of many female fans, and Prince Bai became a charming daddy.

The number of drama appointments decreased, and entertainment companies turned to other stars. Zheng Xiu only served as the host of one variety show on the TV station.

But at this time, the news came again. Zheng Xiu's girlfriend came forward and cried out that she was cheated by Zheng Xiu. The reason why Zheng Xiu was able to film was because his girlfriend paid for his support. After they had a child, they broke up.

Zheng Xiu’s acting career:

From a Longhu boxer to a martial arts movie star;

By making romantic films, he has transformed from the "Prince Charming" in the hearts of thousands of girls to the "Best Actor of Literary Films".

After the scandal was exposed, he became a "scumbag" that everyone ridiculed.

He simply announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, but his face was indeed charming. In 1991, Pan Meiru, a rich woman in the jade business, was fascinated by Zheng Xiu.

At that time, Zheng Xiu was already 40 years old, and his son Zheng Shaoyu had also grown up.

At that time, the rich woman Pan Meiru was 45 years old. She had been divorced and had a daughter named Penny.

In 1991, the female billionaire spent 300 million to hold an extremely luxurious and dreamy wedding, and she married Zheng Xiu in a high-profile manner.

.

It's 1999 now.

48-year-old Zheng Xiu was stabbed at home. He was stabbed eight times and was seriously injured and sent to the hospital in a coma.

There was no property damage at home, and the murderer had a clear purpose, which was to target Zheng Xiu.

Who is the murderer?

The police launched an investigation immediately.

The first target of suspicion was the rich woman Pan Meiru. The reason was very simple. After eight years, the marriage between Pan Meiru and Zheng Xiu had long existed in name only.

The two were in the process of divorcing recently, but they had a heated argument over the distribution of property.

Pan Meiru has a jade mountain abroad that has been sealed up. In the past few years, jade has been wildly speculated and has increased dozens of times.

She has transformed from a millionaire woman to a top millionaire with assets of 3 million.

According to the news in the media and gossip magazines some time ago, Pan Meiru became more and more disgusted with Zheng Xiu. She felt that she was deceived by this skin back then, but now she sees it clearly.

It was Pan Meirut who proposed divorce, but Zheng Xiu didn't agree. Zheng Xiu wanted half of the property.

Pan Meiru was so unwilling that she hired a lawyer. The lawyer said, Ms. Pan, this divorce case may be very troublesome. Although you signed a prenuptial agreement, the price of your jade stones only started to increase after the marriage.

Pan Meiru said, I hoarded all the jade before the marriage. It’s all my money, how can he share it?

The lawyer said that your biggest property now is the jade mountain abroad. The jade mountain was bought after you and Zheng Xiu got married. It is difficult to identify it. I advise you to negotiate privately.

When we were in love, we made an oath of love, but when love ended and the earth collapsed, Pan Meiru did not agree to peace talks.

Therefore, she had a reason to kill Zheng Xiu.

But Pan Meiru had a perfect alibi.

At the time of the incident, she and her 32-year-old daughter Penny were eating at the most upscale restaurant in the downtown area. They sat by the window and ordered a bunch of delicious food and red wine.

The waiters and guests in the restaurant are all witnesses of her time.

.

Let’s go back to the scene of Zheng Xiu’s assassination.

It was in the parking garage of his home, and the knife was stabbed into his stomach, eight times in total.

Fortunately, he had been a Longhu boxer and was in good health. He must have fought the murderer, and at the same time, he shouted for help during the fight. His cry was heard by the neighbor, who screamed in the distance, scaring the murderer away.

Neighbors called the police and sent him to the hospital. Zheng Xiucai survived half his life, but he was seriously injured and was still in the intensive care unit.

The neighbor did see the appearance of the murderer, saying he was a man with long hair wearing a striped hospital gown.

The murder weapon, the knife, was left at the scene. The murder weapon had the murderer's fingerprints on it, and there were shoe prints left by the murderer on the ground.

The murderer has clear characteristics and should not be difficult to find.

Indeed, one day later, the police patrolling the street found a crazy man with long hair, wearing a hospital gown, who seemed to be greatly stimulated.

The police took the man back to the police station and found out that he was the murderer who murdered Zheng Xiu.

However, this man cannot communicate normally, he is a mental patient.

A madman killed a once-famous actor?

The more the investigation goes on, the more bizarre the incident becomes.

Let’s talk about Pan Meiru first. She has a daughter named Penny. Penny runs a psychiatric sanatorium.

The murderer who assassinated Zheng Xiu was a patient in this mental sanatorium.

One night a few days ago, this man was lying on the bed in the mental hospital. He waited for the nurse to leave and then got up secretly.

Jump from the window to the bottom. There is a manhole cover below. The mentally ill person crawls under the manhole cover and escapes from the mental hospital through the sewer.

Then, he hid around and tried his best to get a fruit knife.

After that, he stayed at the door of Zheng Xiu's house, waiting for the opportunity. When Zheng Xiu was home alone, when he went out to smoke or take out the trash, or go to the garage to pick up the car, he rushed over and gave Zheng Xiu eight knives.

.

How does a mentally ill person know about Zheng Xiu's family? Why would he assassinate Zheng Xiu?

After combining all the connections, the case became clear.

Penny is the director of a mental sanatorium, and she has the greatest opportunity to come into contact with mental patients.

Then she can naturally control this psychotic murderer and tell him how to escape from the mental hospital, how to get the fruit knife, and how to kill Zheng Xiu.

And why did Penny do this? Pan Meiru was the one behind the scenes.

As long as Zheng Xiu dies, this property will not be divided.

And this also explains why Pan Meiru and Penny, the mother and daughter, deliberately had a candlelight dinner at the best restaurant in the downtown area of ​​K City a few kilometers away when the crime occurred.

The purpose is to give the murderer a chance while also creating his own alibi.

.

This case is handled by Senior Inspector Xu Wenshan of the Serious Crime Unit.

After he reasoned out all the tricks, he concluded that this was a case of paying someone to kill someone.

Xu Wenshan invited Penny to the interrogation room. He wanted to use Penny as a breakthrough to get her to reveal the real culprit behind the scenes.

But Penny acted very calmly and kept silent when faced with questions.

At this time, a police officer walked in and said with some embarrassment, "Boss, Penny's lawyer is here and wants to be released on bail."

"She is a major suspect in the case and cannot be released on bail."

"Hey." The police officer sighed, "Boss, why don't you go out and talk to the lawyer first? The lawyer said he wants to see you."

Xu Wenshan snorted coldly. After being a policeman for so long, he has never seen a barrister. Do you want me to meet you in person?

Xu Wenshan went out, and the office outside was completely silent. The police officers didn't speak, but they all had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

A woman wearing business attire and holding a briefcase stood demurely.

After seeing the man, Xu Wenshan changed his tone to a gentle tone and said, "Why are you here? I haven't gotten off work yet. Please wait for me for a while."

He walked towards the woman and wanted to hold her hand.

The woman in front of her is Hu Muzhen, Xu Wenshan's lover for many years.

Hu Muzhen pushed Xu Wenshan away and said politely, "Sir Xu, I am here today to bail my client, Ms. Penny, and I am her lawyer."
