How did you, a gangster, end up in the police force?

"Yes, I remember I just bought it for him. The mineral water shouldn't be gone." Wu Xiuhua looked confused.

"Linzi, do you have any clues?" Yu Haifeng asked. When he saw Ye Lin like this, he thought there must be something to be found.

"Yes, I thought of another possibility." Ye Lin said in a deep voice, "Drugs!"

"Drugs?"

Everyone exclaimed.

"Yes, you can inject the drug into the mineral water bottle. As long as Mao Xiaolin drinks it, he will be infected."

"Wait, if it was obedient water, then he wouldn't just faint, he would be able to maintain some motor skills, he could walk."

"Understood!"

"Captain Ye, we understand everything!"

Ye Lin shouted excitedly.

A group of people became happy too when they saw how excited he was.

"Well, Captain Ye, why don't you tell us something? Even if we are happy, we have to know what we are happy about?" Old Zhao complained.

Ye Lin raised his finger and said excitedly: "Do you remember that in our last case, we arrested a man who sold obedient water?"

"Ah, are you talking about that Fatty Sun?" Yu Haifeng still vaguely remembered him.

"Yes, it was him. In order to destroy the evidence, he drank the obedient water himself. At that time, I found that he did not faint and could still walk, but he was not walking steadily."

"So, if the murderer injected obedient water into Mao Xiaolin's mineral water and Mao Xiaolin drank it, it is entirely possible that he climbed through the toilet window by himself with the help and guidance of the murderer instead of being carried over."

"In this way, the speculation that the toilet window is too high is no longer valid."

"I guess the murderer added poison to all the mineral water to ensure that Mao Xiaolin drank obedient water. After the crime was done, he took the mineral water in the refrigerator away."

Ye Lin quickly explained his reasoning, and after everyone thought about it for a while, they felt as if they had suddenly become enlightened.

"No wonder, no wonder they were able to do it, it turned out that they let Mao Xiaolin go on his own."

"So, they don't need much physical strength to complete this crime?" Sun Jinghua asked.

"Yes, with a little help, Mao Xiaolin can climb out by himself, and there is a tricycle outside that can pull people out."

"So, theoretically speaking, it doesn't necessarily have to be an adult male to do it." Ye Lin said affirmatively.

"That makes sense. So, Captain Ye, how do we investigate next? And where should we look for him?" Old Zhao raised the most difficult question.

Yes, even if there is the truth, what about the murderer? What about the victim?

Capturing and rescuing people is the key, and reasoning is essentially of little use.

"First of all, through this reasoning, we can be sure that there is more than one murderer. Because one person had to take Mao Xiaolin to the toilet, another person had to make a secret room, and there might be another person keeping watch outside. If it was just one person, it would be possible, but it is too dangerous. It is too difficult for one person to carry out such a complicated plan."

“So, we have to find these people.”

"We need to investigate three things. One is to find the two drunks who were fighting and see if someone asked them to do this. The other is to look for surveillance cameras along the path behind to see if we can find any video of the tricycle transporting the people away."

"Then we need to check the surveillance cameras at the back of the yard to see if there are any suspicious people passing by. Since the murderer left through the front door, his accomplice must have climbed over the wall to leave after the window was locked. However, he was alone and might not need to take a car. We need to find the suspicious person who was alone during that time."

Ye Lin gave a brief explanation, and Yu Haifeng divided the personnel into three groups for investigation.

With a direction, everyone’s fighting spirit has become much stronger.

October 10rd, the fifth day after the incident.

Lao Zhao found the surveillance footage of two drunk men. The two men entered the residential complex very early and had been wandering around the community. They did not look drunk at all.

Around 9 o'clock in the evening, the two men took out a walkie-talkie and said a few words, then hurried towards the chess and card room. On the way, they took out two small bottles of white wine from their pockets and drank them all.

When they arrived at the door of the chess and card room, the two began to act, then deliberately pushed the person into the room and slammed the table hard, attracting everyone's attention and gathering around to try to stop the fight.

The whole process lasted about 1 minute, and the two left the chess and card room separately.

Lao Zhao found a video of the two men's fight in a surveillance camera at the back. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that they were not fighting but just acting.

This also indirectly proves that Ye Lin’s previous guess was correct.

Lao Zhao decisively captured the two men, but did not ask for any useful information.

These are two laborers, recruited from the labor market under the bridge. The person who recruited them wore hats and masks, which is a bit strange, but they do not come out to cause trouble, they only work for money.

The man gave each of them 500 yuan and asked them to follow his instructions and perform a fight scene for only one minute on the night of the incident.

The two did as they were told, and afterwards they received the balance payment from a trash can outside the community and returned the walkie-talkie to the owner.

As for the person who hired them, the two men only gave a rough description, saying that he was of normal height, probably less than 1.75 meters; not very fat, and of medium build; they couldn't see anything else.

After Ye Lin's repeated questioning, the two mentioned a detail, that is, this person's legs and feet did not seem to be in very good condition. He often tapped his knees, and his gait was a little strange. It might be leg pain or something.

Ye Lin was a little disappointed. He had thought that finding the two people meant he had found a breakthrough, but he didn't expect that the other party had already calculated it. It seemed that the murderer this time was really meticulous in his thinking and was a tough opponent.

There was nothing more he could get from the two men, so Ye Lin had no choice but to let them go. He sat alone in the office and began to think of a breakthrough.

Suddenly, Sun Jinghua rushed in breathlessly and shouted, "Captain Ye, Mao Xiaolin has appeared."

"what?!"

Ye Lin stood up suddenly, and the cigarette in his hand was snuffed out. "Is he still alive?"

"Being alive...there's just something wrong." Sun Jinghua said.

"Where is the person now? Where was he found?" Ye Lin calmed down.

"The man showed up at the gate of the community on his own and has now returned to the chess and card room. The police station told us that."

"Let's go and see together."

Ye Lin frowned. On the fifth day after the incident, Mao Xiaolin suddenly appeared and came back on his own. Does that mean that his previous guesses were wrong?
