River Breeze Night Sparrow

Liu's study.

Just now Lin Qiu and Jiang Yi went to the monitoring room.The equipment in the monitoring room is very old, the picture is very blurry, and the video was only recorded at 21:23 in the evening. After a thunderstorm, the video was interrupted, maybe the line was broken.

However, the video from the surveillance room clearly proved Lin Qiu's innocence.Jiang Yi knew that Lin Qiu was also an axe, so he watched Lin Qiu's whereabouts in front of him, completely expressing his trust.

The following surveillance video can only be found after 20:43, as Liu Xichao and Chen Shanshan went up to the second floor together, everyone in the room reached the second floor.

At 20:50, Cheng Qiuyuan knocked on the door of Liu Dongyue's room, said a few words at the door, and took Liu Chengxue and her brother back to the next room.

At 20:58, Liu Xichao knocked on the door of Liu Dongyue's room, and the two talked for 2 minutes at the door, probably saying goodbye after saying good night to each other.

At 21:15, Liu Juran knocked on the door of Cheng Qiuyuan's room. Cheng Qiuyuan opened the door and looked at the children, probably saying that the children were asleep.Liu Juran hesitated for a moment, but did not enter the room.He said a few words to Cheng Qiuyuan, the two of them didn't look very good, Liu Juran tugged and tugged twice, Liu Dongyue who lived next door opened the door and stretched his head to look twice, Liu Juran stopped his movements and left.Cheng Qiuyuan also entered the room.

After that, within the effective monitoring time, there has been no movement.

Jiang Yi tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Do you think there is any doubt now?"

Lin Qiudao: "At present, it seems that Liu Juran's position in the Liu family is rather awkward, and the relationship with his wife Cheng Qiuyuan is not very harmonious. It seems that Cheng Qiuyuan and Liu Juran had a bad conversation in the monitoring process, and just now I noticed that there is something on Cheng Qiuyuan's neck. With a red seal, it is reasonable to suspect that it is related to Liu Juran."

Jiang Yi nodded. "Do you have anyone you suspect? Or, who do you want to start talking with?"

Lin Qiu thought for a while, and said frankly, "I only scratched the surface of criminal investigation techniques, but I couldn't get started."

Jiang Yi: "It's okay, just talk about it. I have dealt with them more or less, and I have some preconceived notions, so I want to hear your observations and opinions."

Lin Qiu hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"Judging from our observation at the crime scene just now, Liu Juran should have taken an overdose of drugs tonight. Judging from his physical characteristics, there are not many pinholes in his arms, and his figure is still strong. I think he is very likely to be It was the first time I took drugs, so I didn’t control the amount well. I think the direct cause of death was severe trauma to the head, and at the same time, ceramic fragments were embedded in the head, cutting the body in many places, causing massive blood loss. This is my preliminary observation.”

Jiang Yi stroked his chin and nodded.

"Just now we checked the fence in the lobby on the second floor, and there is no sign of looseness. Generally speaking, there are two possibilities. First, Liu Juran overdosed on drugs and became unconscious, so he fell to his death; second, someone took advantage of Liu Juran's unconsciousness. , pushed him down the first floor. There were no obvious traces of fighting on the second floor, but the willow house is all made of ceramic floors, and there were no obvious traces left.

Lin Qiu continued: "As for the suspects, apart from Mr. Liu and the two children, the remaining Liu Dongyue, Liu Xichao, Chen Shanshan, and Cheng Qiuyuan are all suspects. From the perspective of motives, Liu Dongyue and Liu Xichao are concerned about family business issues and Liu Juran has suspicions, Cheng Qiuyuan seems to be at odds with her husband, and Chen Shanshan is the least suspicious, but the possibility of resentment towards Liu Juran because of Liu's family business cannot be ruled out."

Jiang Yi nodded. "The basic situation is probably as you said. The key question we have to think about now is drugs. Where did Liu Juran get his drugs? Did he bring these drugs by himself, or were they given by others? Did he take drugs himself, or was he killed? ? The focus of the next search will be to find drugs and try to confirm what drugs are.”

Lin Qiu was silent for a moment, and said, "I've seen people who died from ice-poisoning." Jiang Yi looked at him, only to see a trace of pain in Lin Qiu's eyes, and he said slowly, "That's Su Ting."

Jiang Yi didn't know who Su Ting was, but hearing the word "Su", he must be Su Xiaoya's mother.He looked at Lin Qiu's eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little distressed.However, Lin Qiu quickly adjusted his state and did not fall into any negative emotions.

Jiang Yi said: "Then, let's start with Chen Shanshan who found the body."

Chen Shanshan comes from a scholarly family, so she is not a fool if she can marry into a wealthy family.Liu Xichao is a fool, but he hasn't made any mistakes for so many years, and he has made several small projects of the Liu family gradually flourish. Naturally, he cannot do without this virtuous wife.

She had just heard Jiang Yi's implication, and probably understood that this matter was far more complicated than it seemed.She was a little frightened just now, and she rested in the room for a while, and she has calmed down a lot now.

"Jiang Yi, isn't Liu Juran an accident?"

Jiang Yi shook his head. "It's still impossible to judge. I'll ask some questions. Tell me what you know. If you feel suspicious, you can also talk about it. Now let's talk about what you did after eating. It's best to provide Take a look at the timeline."

Chen Shanshan bit her lip, watched as Lin Qiu turned on her phone to record, and sat on the sofa between her and Jiang Yi, ready to take a pen to record some important details.

She took a deep breath and began to recall.

"In the evening, after dinner, Cheng Qiuyuan and Dongyue stayed upstairs. I took the two children to watch cartoons in the entertainment hall for a while. I didn't watch them for a long time. I remember seeing them at eight o'clock. Because I usually start doing yoga at [-] o'clock, my mobile phone alarm clock rang. Then Dongyue came in and took the two children upstairs, it seems that Cheng Qiuyuan asked her to take care of her."

Chen Shanshan pursed her lips when she said this: "I don't know Cheng Qiuyuan very well. When the children saw Liu Dongyue came to pick them up, they obediently followed her away. I felt that it was strange that the child left. I thought that I had never had a child, and I didn't have any children." I chatted with Xi Chao for a while." At this point, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she said: "My period is not very accurate, but it should be the ovulation period recently, and there is a ovulation in the living room downstairs. compartment..."

Jiang Yi was stunned for a while, he seemed to understand, and didn't ask carefully.He asked: "After that, you and Liu Xichao went upstairs together?"

Chen Shanshan nodded.Then he continued: "Then we went into the house. I picked a love movie "Notting Hill". We started watching the movie when we went up, it should be around nine o'clock. At the beginning, Xichao went out to find something Yue, I probably comforted her a few words, said good night or something like that. We have been watching movies since we came back and didn’t go out. When the movie was about to end, I was quite moved, but Xichao thought I would love it if I was fine. Crying, the two of us quarreled again, and I went out in a fit of anger. Then I saw that the lights in the lobby on the second floor had not been turned off, and then I saw something happened. I ran back and told Xichao, and Xichao hurried to Take a look at other people's situation."

"You found out that something happened, after you ran back, and then everyone came out, what exactly happened?" Jiang Yi asked.

Chen Shanshan thought for a while, and said: "I saw that something happened, and I was shocked. I ran back to our room and told Liu Xichao. I said someone fell. He asked who it was, and I said I was scared to death. I didn't see it clearly." , and then he ran out first and knocked on Dongyue's door. Dongyue came out and was shocked when he heard that someone had died. Xichao took a look and found that Liu Juran had fallen!"

In the middle of the night, she suddenly saw a person lying on the first floor with a pool of blood beside her. Chen Shanshan still has lingering fears.

She paused and continued: "Then, he was going to take pictures of Cheng Qiuyuan's door, but Dongyue stopped him, probably because he was afraid of disturbing the children. She sent a text message to Cheng Qiuyuan and knocked on the door lightly , and Cheng Qiuyuan came out. Me, Xichao and Dongyue went downstairs first, and Cheng Qiuyuan ran over to find you." Chen Shanshan thought for a while, and said: "At that time, the pendulum clock in the hall rang, but the time was about It was past eleven o'clock. I remember that Xi Chao told me that the pendulum clock was old and would be a few minutes late."

Chen Shanshan had a clear mind and provided a few details that touched Jiang Yi's sensitive nerves.

"When you went out, did you see that the lights in the hall on the second floor were not turned off?"

Chen Shanshan nodded: "However, the lights in the hall on the second floor may not be turned off throughout the night. I remember Xi Chao said before that Dongyue was afraid of the dark when she was a child."

Jiang Yi nodded his head as he recalled the past.Indeed, Liu Dongyue had always been afraid of the dark when she was a child.

"Did you find anything suspicious? Did you hear any suspicious sounds?"

Chen Shanshan shook her head: "It's thunderous today, and we watched movies at a higher pitch than usual. I didn't hear anything from the outside. As for the suspicious place..." She bit her lip and said, "I don't know if you have I didn't see a patch of red on Cheng Qiuyuan's neck, so I guess Liu Juran pinched it."

"How much do you know about their divorce?"

Chen Shanshan sighed: "I don't know much. But Liu Juran seems to be a dog outside, and he really doesn't treat Cheng Qiuyuan very well. It seems that she often abuses her at home, so she wants to divorce. But because the old man and his father Mom and the others like children. Liu Juran was afraid that the children would not follow him, so naturally he did not agree to divorce Cheng Qiuyuan. Cheng Qiuyuan seemed to be the daughter of an ordinary family. Isolate and helpless. Liu Ju still doesn't let go, her marriage has been inseparable. That's why I heard recently that there will be no divorce."

"Liu Dongyue and Liu Xichao have a particularly bad relationship with Liu Juran. Do you have anything to say?"

Chen Shanshan said: "Jiang Yi, Liu Xichao, you know that even though people are a little stupid, they can't do bad things. He and Liu Juran just can't understand the way he is favored, and they have a childish temper in their hearts. What Xichao did This project is always compared by Liu Juran, and we have never had children, and our parents always talk about us, so we don't have a good look at Liu Juran. As for Dongyue..."

Chen Shanshan hesitated.Jiang Yi said: "It's okay, you know what to say."

"Liu Juran returned to Liu's house eight years ago. At that time, Dongyue was just preparing to study abroad. Before going out, she and Liu Juran seemed to have had an unpleasant incident. At that time, I was still in love with Xichao and not married, so I didn't know much about the family. Case."

"Unpleasant?" Jiang Yi was also lost in memory.When Liu Dongyue was preparing to go abroad, he was running the case behind Lao Dingtou and paid little attention to the Liu family.When he finished working on the case and went home to visit Mr. Jiang, he was scolded and found out that Liu Dongyue had gone abroad.

"Do you know exactly what it is?"

Chen Shanshan frowned: "Xichao has always avoided talking about this matter, but I have heard rumors that Liu Juran sexually harassed Dongyue and so on."

Jiang Yi frowned, and even Lin Qiu finally frowned and raised his eyes.It is said that the family affairs of the wealthy family are dirty, but this sexual harassment of the half-sister is still unheard of and very surprising.

"Is there anything else to say?"

Chen Shanshan thought for a while, then shook her head.

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu looked at each other and got up. "I don't know what we can investigate tonight. If you are tired, you should rest first."

Chen Shanshan nodded, and finally added: "Jiang Yi, it must be an accident, right? I don't think anyone really wants Liu Juran to die."

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why doesn't anyone really want Liu Juran to die?" He read the word "really" twice.

Chen Shanshan said: "Cheng Qiuyuan is not a so-called independent woman in the new era, and her children can't do without her father. As for the Liu family, they still value face. In fact, they all know that his illegitimate child will not be able to stand on the stage. Liu Juran will not cause us much harm. The Liu family has a big business, so if you give them some money, no one will feel bad about it."

Chen Shanshan is a smart person, and this analysis is well-founded.But it also shows that she can think about it.However, no one can tell whether other people are so "thinking about it", and whether there are other secrets in it.

Jiang Yi: "Okay, I understand. You can rest."

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu went straight to Liu Xichao's room.

Liu Xichao's timeline after eight o'clock is completely consistent with what Chen Shanshan said, and he can be found in the surveillance before eight o'clock.He was not as calm as Chen Shanshan, who kept rubbing her hands together. "Grandpa didn't wake up, did he? Grandpa is actually not in good health these days. If I know that such a big incident happened at home, I'm really afraid that his health will be in trouble."

"Is Mr. Liu and Liu Juran very close recently?"

Liu Xichao looked unhappy: "Yes. The few projects I did before, the results were actually not good. But I really put a lot of time and energy into it, and there are not many opportunities to see grandpa. Liu Juran often shows his face with his children, It's really despicable. But my parents also said that as long as Shanshan and I have a baby, Liu Juran will have nothing to like."

"Is there anything suspicious today?"

Liu Xichao shook his head.

"Has the relationship between Dongyue and Liu Juran has always been so rigid?"

Liu Xichao lowered his eyes and nodded.

"why?"

"...I don't know how to deal with my personality." Liu Xichao said after holding back for a long time.

"I also heard that before Dongyue went abroad, she had trouble with Liu Juran?" Jiang Yi stared at Liu Xichao's face, not letting go of the subtle expressions on his face.

Liu Xichao's face changed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Yi with some embarrassment, but he knew that he couldn't lie in front of Jiang Yi, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.

"I don't know exactly what it is. But how to put it, they...I think, I think..."

Jiang Yi asked: "What do you think?"

Liu Xichao rubbed his hair annoyedly, and said, "I don't know why!"

"Baffling? Why?"

Liu Xichao looked up at Jiang Yi and said, "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you, because I don't believe it completely myself."

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu looked at Liu Xichao quietly, and saw him say: "At that time, Liu Juran had just returned to Liu's house. He was born to an ex-girlfriend before my father got married. He was several months older than me. His mother died of illness. Yes, the money I sent to their family before was spent on medical treatment. At that time, Liu Juran had already married and started a business. It seemed that Cheng Qiuyuan had just become pregnant with Xiaoming, and he had to support his family, so he needed money urgently. According to his mother’s last words, Liu Juran found the family Yes. Dad didn’t want to recognize him at first, but for his grandson’s sake, after discussing with grandpa, he recognized him as his ancestor.”

"He's having trouble with Dongyue, what's the situation?"

Liu Xichao was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, at the beginning, Dongyue and I didn't have any special views on Liu Juran's family. After all, it's not that the family can't afford to support these people. Besides, our family is actually quite happy, and Liu Juran can't get involved. Come in. Until one day, it was also a very rainy day. Dongyue was about to go abroad, and my parents, me, and grandpa tried to stay with her as much as possible at home. At dinner that day, Dongyue said that when she was sleeping, she was caught by Liu Juran invaded!"

Liu Xichao gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I'm on my sister's side, but no matter whether it's checking surveillance or going to the hospital for an examination, there is no such thing at all. Dongyue may have just had a dream!"

Lin Qiu's writing stopped, and he and Jiang Yi looked at each other.
