Xu Ji Car Dealership in Beiping City, east wing of the central courtyard.

Jin Hai and the other two were also shocked when they heard Zhao Cheng's affirmative words. After all, they knew that the police station had carefully investigated the nearby area before and had not found any clues about the Little Red Coat. How could Zhao Cheng be so sure?

"Actually, you all have fallen into this misunderstanding. This Little Red Coat is an executioner, and an official at that. That explains why he always commits crimes at night! Because people have to go to work during the day!" Zhao Cheng took a sip of wine, and Xu Tian immediately filled it up next to him.

Zhao Cheng looked at Xu Tian's anxious expression and continued, "There is one more thing, which is about Jia Xiaoduo. Xu Tian returned to the police station around 9:30 pm yesterday, and Xiaoduo was killed around that time. Plus, it took about half an hour for Xiaoduo to die completely, and the murderer was watching the whole time!" Zhao Cheng took a breath, feeling a little nauseous from the wine he drank, so he quickly ate some food to calm himself down.

"Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but perverted murderers like this generally have a common problem: after the police discover the crime scene, the murderer will usually be waiting there to watch the fun!"

"And did you notice that it was already past ten o'clock after Little Red Coat killed Xiao Duoer? Add to that the time he went home and the fact that he had to get up this morning to watch the excitement, so he must be not far from the crime scene, that's why he had time to come and watch!" Having said that, Zhao Cheng stopped and ate a few bites of food to give Jin Hai and the others some buffer time.

After listening to Zhao Cheng's analysis, Jin Hai and the others couldn't help but recall that Jia Xiaoduo was murdered this year, and the man who was murdered last year was near Fuxingmen, and the man who was murdered the year before was near Chongwenmen—all not far from here! Zhao Cheng was right. Considering the time between going home from get off work and committing the crime, then going home again and coming out to watch the fun in the morning! It's really possible that he was within a three-mile radius of the police station! Otherwise, there would be no time left!

"Actually, for this matter, you just need to find someone in gangs and ask if there are any people around here who used to be executioners or whose ancestors were executioners! After you have found a few people, check if any of them are currently working in an official unit! That's basically it!" Zhao Cheng stopped talking after saying this, because he believed that Jin Hai and the others would definitely be able to find the person.

After all, these three brothers are all native people of Beijing. They are very familiar with the place and it is easy for them to find out anything.

"Brother Zhao Cheng, what did you do before? How come their police station didn't figure it out for so long, but you figured it out so soon after you arrived? You are amazing!" Guan Baohui, who had been silent, saw that everyone was in deep thought, and fearing a dull atmosphere, she quickly started chatting with Zhao Cheng.

"Hey, sister-in-law, I used to study in Changchun. I just read some mystery novels occasionally and was curious about these things! In fact, this is nothing. It was just the turbulent times before that allowed the Little Red Coat to kill so many people. If the situation was peaceful now, the Little Red Coat would have been caught long ago." Zhao Cheng said modestly.

"Judging from your face, you must have graduated from high school! That means you are well-educated! Why did you suddenly come to Beijing?" Guan Baohui looked at Zhao Cheng and asked curiously.

"I'm..." Zhao Cheng was about to say that he was almost forty, but suddenly remembered that he had become a lot younger because of traveling through time. Although he didn't look in the mirror to confirm how much younger he was, with his fair skin and tender flesh, he estimated that he was only twenty years old at most.

"I did graduate from high school. This wasn't the war outside the Great Wall. My father was afraid that my family would be cut off, so he arranged for me to come to the south. As a result, after I got off the boat in Tianjin, I just arrived in Beiping City and found that fighting had also broken out around Beiping City. Before I could go further south, I fainted from hunger, and my bag was stolen. I was also thrown near the police station by someone I don't know, right next to the crime scene, and was caught by Xu Tian and taken to the police station!" Zhao Cheng also lamented his bad luck.

You said you could travel through time, so you traveled through time. How could you throw me to the crime scene? I don’t know which wicked person did this!

This is because Xu Tian is not the kind of person who kills indiscriminately, otherwise he would have been shot to death.

"So what are your plans for the future? Are you staying in Beiping? Or are you heading south?"

"Hey, why go south? My bag and everything were stolen. I have lost all my documents and money. I thought I might as well stay in Beiping. These days, the Red Army and Chiang Kai-shek are still trying to decide the winner, and there are wars everywhere. It's better to settle down first. Besides, I have my father back home. When I settle down, I will ask someone to send a letter to my father. If that doesn't work, I will ask him to come to Beiping with me. Anyway, all the money I earned before was looted by the Japanese devils, and then the National Government looted it again. There is basically nothing left!" Zhao Cheng had to find an excuse for himself.

Although my father made it up, it's not a big deal. Nowadays, it's very common for people to go missing. If my body hadn't been transformed and I didn't look like an old farmer, I really wanted to say that I was a refugee from the Northeast. But there are no farmers as fair and tender as me, right?

And the most important point is that during this period, it was already very good for farmers to recognize a few words and be able to write their own names, but my conversation style and speaking habits really don’t seem like a farmer!

This will only make the loopholes bigger, so let's just leave it like this for now. Things will work out when the time comes, and we can talk about the future later.

Hearing that Zhao Cheng wanted to get off at Beijing Station, Guan Baohui stopped asking questions. She could tell that based on today's situation, he would inevitably have to interact with Zhao Cheng in the future. Otherwise, the three Jinhai brothers wouldn't be so polite to him! They arranged to stay at their home and even treated him to a meal. Did they really think the three Jinhai brothers were good men and women?

"Brother, I think Brother Zhao Cheng's analysis is correct. Tomorrow I will go to Xiao Erduo to ask how many executioners we have here! Find this out first! It will be much easier to investigate whether they work in the government later!" Xu Tian took a lot of effort to figure out what Zhao Cheng said. He had a better impression of this little brother who was dragged back from the crime scene by him. This really gave him a lucky star and helped him a lot. Otherwise, when would he be able to figure all this out?

"Okay, let's eat first. Tomorrow I will go with you to find Xiao Erduo to inquire about the news. Today's main purpose is to welcome Brother Zhao Cheng! Let's get drunk!" Tie Lin also took over the conversation and casually arranged for everyone to eat and drink together.
