Xingnian Tea House

The two drove back to the criminal investigation team, Qiao Xingnian returned to the state of the soul, and walked in beside Lin Nanyue.

In Lin Nanyue's office, Qiao Xingnian looked at the documents in front of him and said in surprise, "So Liu Zhaoqian is Ma Guojun's nephew?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Not a real uncle, but a cousin. But Liu Zhaoqian's parents died young, and his grandmother brought him up. Ma Guojun helped them a lot. Although they were only distant relatives, the relationship between the two families was not bad. So I came to Hucheng because I heard that Liu Zhaoqian was doing well in Hucheng, so I came to join him."

Qiao Xingnian guessed that the relationship between Ma Guojun and Liu Zhaoqian was not simple, but he did not expect that the two were actually relatives.

"According to this, the relationship between Liu Zhaoqian and Ma Guojun should be very good. Why did he kill Ma Guojun and what was his motive?" Qiao Xingnian was puzzled.

Lin Nanyue speculated: "Perhaps his purpose of killing Ma Guojun was to blame Tao Hui, so that Tao Hui would have a handle in his hands, then he would have a cash machine, and he would never have to worry about it for the rest of his life."

Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly, and said, "No, I always feel that things are not that simple."

"Do you still insist that Liu Zhaoqian had the intention of killing Ma Guojun first, and then thought of blaming Tao Hui?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Well, my intuition tells me that there must be some unknown secret between Liu Zhaoqian and Ma Guojun."

"That's right!" Qiao Xingnian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Perhaps this secret has something to do with Liu Zhaoqian's resentment."

Lin Nanyue was startled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Perhaps Ma Guojun learned the secret of Liu Zhaoqian's murder, and Liu Zhaoqian had to kill to silence him before thinking of this plan to kill two birds with one stone."

Lin Nanyue nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Right now, these are just speculations. Let's interrogate Liu Zhaogan in the interrogation room and see how he explains it."

"Okay, it's time to hit the grass and startle the snake."

Qiao Xingnian followed Lin Nanyue to the interrogation room, and called Liu Zheng when he passed by the big office.

Without rest for a day and a night, Liu Zhaoqian looked a little tired. Seeing Lin Nanyue walking in, he quickly cheered up.

Lin Nanyue looked at Liu Zheng and said, "Go make him a cup of coffee."

Liu Zheng responded, turned and walked out. Five minutes later, he came in with coffee and put it on the table of the interrogation chair.

Liu Zhaoqian took a sip of coffee and said, "Thank you."

"This morning we received a report that a body was found in a col in Dongshan."

Lin Nanyue got straight to the point, carefully observing Liu Zhaoqian's reaction.

Liu Zhaoqian was startled, and then asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with me?"

Qiao Xingnian was also looking at Liu Zhaoqian. Seeing his reaction, he couldn't help saying in admiration: "This expression is well controlled. It's really a pity that he doesn't go to filming."

Lin Nanyue took out a photo from his notebook, came to Liu Zhaoqian, and said, "Do you know this person?"

Liu Zhaoqian's pupils dilated suddenly, and he said with some panic, "He is my cousin, why do you have his photo, what happened to him?"

Lin Nanyue and Qiao Xingnian looked at each other, somewhat surprised by Liu Zhaoqian's reaction.

"He's really smart!" Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but sighed again: "He had expected this day a long time ago, and he must have practiced the reaction just now a lot, that's why it was so natural!"

"He's dead, the body found this morning is his."

"Dead?" Liu Zhaoqian was stunned, and murmured, "That's impossible. He was still chatting with me two days ago. How could he say he died? Did you make a mistake?"

"The results of the DNA test have been released, proving that the deceased is Ma Guojun."

Liu Zhaoqian's eyes turned red immediately, and he said, "How is it possible, my cousin is such a good person, he has never blushed with anyone in his life, so why did he die... Comrade policeman, how did my cousin die?"

Lin Nanyue asked without answering: "Ma Guojun's wife, Ma Hongmei, do you know her?"

"I know. My parents died when I was very young. My grandmother raised me single-handedly, and my cousin's family also helped a lot. My cousin's family paid most of my tuition and miscellaneous expenses for college, so our relationship is very close. Good." Liu Zhaoqian's eyes were red.

"Ma Hongmei said that the reason why Ma Guojun came to Hucheng was because you did well in Hucheng and came to rely on you."

Liu Zhaoqian wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Yes. I used to be too young to repay them. Now that I have graduated from college and made money, of course I have to help them."

Qiao Xingnian said aloud, "Captain Lin, ask him where Ma Guojun lives."

Lin Nanyue nodded imperceptibly, and said, "Since you asked him to come to Hucheng, then you should know where he lives."

"I know, he used to live in Guangping District, but because the rent was too high, he moved to Jiangting Garden in Dongcheng."

"What building and zero in Jiangting Garden?"

"Room 1, Building 101, Jiangting Garden."

Lin Nanyue turned to look at Liu Zheng, and said, "Go and inform the people outside, as well as the forensic department, to go to Jiangting Garden."

"Okay." Liu Zheng responded, turned and left the interrogation room.

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian said aloud: "The fact that he gave out the address so easily shows that he has already arranged everything. Even if you go, there will only be traces of Tao Hui left at the scene of the crime, and then he will pass by you again." Reminder, tell the story of the conflict between Tao Hui and Ma Guojun, and guide you to follow the plot he envisioned."

Lin Nanyue agreed with Qiao Xingnian's conjecture. If they hadn't known about Ma Guojun's death in advance, they would have been led by the nose by Liu Zhaoqian in all likelihood.

After Liu Zheng left, Lin Nanyue did not continue the interrogation, but wrote something in his notebook.

Qiao Xingnian walked up to him, looked at what Lin Nanyue wrote in his notebook, and said, "Captain Lin, I have thought of a way to keep him."

Lin Nanyue paused, and instinctively raised his head to look at Qiao Xingnian, then reacted, looked at Liu Zhaoqian on the opposite side, saw that he was lowering his head, seemed to be thinking about something, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and wrote on the paper: "any solution?"

Qiao Xingnian reminded: "Team Lin, don't forget, now that Ma Guojun's body has been found, then Liu Zhaoqian's help in dealing with the crime scene and the body can be exposed naturally. Even if he can't be convicted of homicide by then His crimes can at least be cover-up crimes and illegal disposal of corpses, so that he can't get away, so we have more time to investigate."

Lin Nanyue took a look at Qiao Xingnian, got up and walked out of the interrogation room.Qiao Xingnian followed him to the office.

"It's not impossible for you to do this. It's just that the reason why Liu Xiaojuan and Tao Jian knew about this matter was from Tao Hui's self-report. Now that Tao Hui is dead, there is no evidence to prove that he participated in this matter. He can say that he is right about this matter." They didn't know about it at all, it was deliberately arranged by Liu Xiaojuan and Tao Jian in order to exonerate Tao Hui."

Qiao Xingnian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It is indeed possible. But at least it can buy us some time, can't it?"

Lin Nanyue was startled, then raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Indeed, at least give us another 48 hours."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Team Lin, I'll leave this to you. I'll go out and do something."

Lin Nanyue subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the scene of the crime to have a look, and then I'll go to Liu Zhaoqian's residence."

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly and said, "This is against the rules."

"Team Lin, you are a policeman in the underworld, and I am a ghost messenger in the underworld. It's different for you than it is for me. Besides, I suspect that Liu Zhaoqian has his life on his back, that is to say, except Tao Hui and Ma Guojun. , there should be grieving ghosts, as a errand to catch grieving ghosts, there is nothing wrong with it, are you right?"

Lin Nanyue was speechless for a while, picked up the car keys on the table, and said, "I'm going to the crime scene, hurry up if you want to follow."

Looking at Lin Nanyue's back, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but shook his head amusedly, and then followed, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Why is this big man so arrogant."

Lin Nanyue drove Qiao Xingnian to Jiangting Garden, and went straight to the downstairs of Building 1.It was still early, and many spectators surrounded the entrance of the unit building, blocking the entrance of the unit building.

"Police, please step aside." Lin Nanyue greeted as he walked forward.

Seeing that it was Lin Nanyue, the policeman guarding the door hurried forward to say hello, "Captain Lin, you're here."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Team Lin is polite."

Lin Nanyue didn't say any more, and walked towards Room 101. Seeing him coming in, Sun Jiajia greeted him, "Captain, you're here."

Lin Nanyue responded, walked towards Liu Heng who was examining carefully, and said, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Liu Heng pointed to the floor of the living room, and said, "Just finished the experiment, there is a lot of blood here, which should be the scene of the first crime. It's just that the floor has been carefully wiped and cleaned, so there shouldn't be much evidence."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "When will Tang Ke's autopsy report be released?"

"Tang Ke is already working overtime on the autopsy, and the report will take two days at the earliest."

Qiao Xingnian walked around the room and then around the door.

Lin Nanyue looked around and walked out, seeing Qiao Xingnian looking up at the camera at the elevator entrance.

"There is a surveillance camera at the elevator entrance on the first floor. If it works properly, it should be able to capture the video of Tao Hui coming here." Qiao Xingnian walked through the lobby, then through the corridor on the first floor, and came to another entrance, saying: " There is also a door here, which should be closed normally, if you enter from here, you can completely escape the surveillance."

Lin Nanyue pondered for a while, then whispered, "You mean..."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, the so-called surrogate driver that night should be Ma Guojun himself."

"It's Ma Guojun?" Lin Nanyue was surprised, and unconsciously raised his voice.

"Captain, what did you say?" Sun Jiajia didn't hear Lin Nanyue's words clearly and couldn't help asking.

"It's okay. Where is the community monitoring room?"

"Under Building No. [-], Lei Ming and Xiao Jun have already passed."

"Well, you do a good job of visiting, I'll go and have a look."

"Yes, Captain."

Lin Nanyue walked through the hall to the monitoring room.

Seeing no one around, Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian and asked softly, "Why do you say Ma Guojun brought Tao Hui home?"

"Team Lin, if you are really looking for a substitute driver, why didn't you find any information about the substitute driver after all your searches?" Qiao Xingnian saw Lin Nanyue's frown getting tighter, and said with a smile: "Of course it's all It’s just my guess, as to whether I have to watch the surveillance video to know.”

The two didn't speak any more, and went straight to the monitoring room. Lei Ming and Zhang Xiaojun greeted him quickly when they saw him come in.

Lin Nanyue looked at the security of the community and said, "Is the monitoring equipment in the lobby of Building 1 operating normally?"

The security guard nodded and said, "It's running normally."

"You call me the surveillance video from February 2th to the present, and I want to check it."

"alright, please wait."

The security guard opened the video file and played it for Lin Nanyue after finding it.Watch at eight times the speed, just watch the surveillance video at night.Until 26:[-] p.m. on the [-]th, Ma Guojun appeared in the surveillance. He carried a man and staggered into the corridor of Building [-].Lin Nanyue clicked the pause button and carefully looked at the two people in the picture.

"As expected, I guessed correctly. The so-called surrogate driver that night was Ma Guojun himself." Qiao Xingnian smiled confidently.

The video continued to play, and Tao Hui and Ma Guojun were nowhere to be seen until the next morning.

"In the previous surveillance video, Liu Zhaoqian appeared, which shows that he has contacts with Ma Guojun and knows his family quite well. That night he found a reason to let Ma Guojun act as a substitute driver, and then found a reason to let Ma Guojun take Tao Hui home.

And he entered through another door, killed Ma Guojun, set up the scene, and then left through that door, and waited for Tao Hui to wake up, then he called again, pretending to help Tao Hui, clean up the scene, and bury the body deep in the mountain. "

Qiao Xingnian deduced the entire murder process, thought for a while, and then said: "If you want to determine when Tao Hui is awake, the best way is to install a pinhole camera at Ma Guojun's house."

Lin Nanyue turned to look at Lei Ming, and said, "Take the surveillance video back, and then retrieve the surveillance video of the gate of the community and the entrance of the garage. The time is between February 2th and 25th."

"Yes, Captain."

Lin Nanyue turned around and walked out of the surveillance room, heading straight for the crime scene.

"Captain Lin, even if he installed a camera at the beginning, he will definitely remove it later. You shouldn't be able to find anything."

"Even if you can't find it, you have to prove your idea."

"Team Lin, I remember you once said that after contacting Ma Guojun's number, the owner of the phone is an old man with Alzheimer's disease. I think you can start from this aspect."

"You're saying that Liu Zhaoqian didn't choose this person randomly."

"Liu Zhaoqian's number has not been discovered by the owner or his children for such a long time, which proves that he is not using the original number of the owner, but a secondary card issued by the owner's certificate, which will inevitably use the old man. If there is no certificate, then he must have access to the certificate."

"Okay, I will arrange someone to go to the telecommunications company to check."

Qiao Xingnian was startled when he said this, and said, "Captain Lin, you go ahead, I'll go to Liu Zhaogan's house."

"Then you take a taxi there, I won't see you off."

Qiao Xingnian nodded, turned around, and walked towards the gate.

Lin Nanyue hesitated and said, "You...be careful, call me if you need anything."

"Okay." Qiao Xingnian waved his back to Lin Nanyue, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Qiao Xingnian found a place to become a reality, booked a car with his mobile phone, and soon came to Kangtai Community where Liu Zhaoqian was located.

"3, Unit 1, Building 2301..." Qiao Xingnian recalled Liu Zhaoqian's information.

Wandering around in the community, he finally found building No. 3. He pressed the elevator and walked in, and pressed the button for the 23rd floor.The elevator door closed slowly, then suddenly opened again, and a drunk man walked in.

He looked at the elevator buttons with drunken eyes, pressed the button on the 22nd floor, raised his hand up and pressed the button on the 23rd floor, and said to himself: "Who's a brat, hiccup, press all over the place, parents will I don’t know what to do.”

Qiao Xingnian frowned as he watched his back. The soaring stench of alcohol spread in the elevator, making him nauseous. He held his breath and waited for the elevator door to open.

The elevator was going up quickly, and the display screen was constantly changing. Finally, it reached the 22nd floor. Before the elevator door opened, Qiao Xingnian walked out. The stench was so strong that he didn't want to stay there for another second.

Go through the door in the stairwell, walk up the stairs to the 23rd floor, and walk in front of door 2301.

As soon as he entered the room, Qiao Xingnian felt something was wrong. He seemed to sense that there was resentment rising in the room, and when he sensed it carefully, it disappeared again. It was similar to what he felt on Liu Zhaoqian.

Qiao Xingnian carefully observed the layout of the room, looking for the aura bit by bit.

Qiao Xingnian walked through the door and came to a room. The layout inside seemed to be a study room. There were only bookshelves and desks in the room. In the middle of the bookshelf was a jar with a white background and gold patterns. The jar was covered with red paper. .

Qiao Xingnian approached, removed the jar from the bookshelf, put it on the desk, looked at the spell on the red paper, couldn't help but frowned, and said, "You actually raise ghosts!"

The golden patterns on the jar are runes, which cooperate with the runes on the red paper, which can trap the grieving ghosts in the jar without being discovered by the evil spirits, nourish the grudges of the grieving ghosts, and allow the grieving ghosts to use them for them.

Qiao Xingnian reached out to take the red paper, and a strong resentment gushed out from the jar, soon covering the entire room.

A pale hand stretched out from the jar, with sharp black nails as long as ten centimeters, and then a half-collapsed head, with blood-red eyeballs protruding almost out of the frame, turning around.

When he saw Qiao Xingnian, he immediately left the jar and jumped off the table.

The resentful ghost has had his memory erased, and he only listens to the orders of the ghost raiser. Once he encounters a living person, and he is not suppressed by the ghost raiser, he will kill anyone he sees, devour the soul of the living person, and strengthen his own power.

However, many ghost raisers will be backlashed by the resentful ghosts they raise later, and the relationship between the two is completely reversed, so few people raise ghosts in this way, and this method has become a taboo.

The resentful ghost stared straight at Qiao Xingnian with his bulging eyes, and let out a series of beast-like low growls anxiously.

Qiao Xingnian didn't say a word, and directly sketched the spell in the air.

The grieving ghost sensed the danger and rushed towards Qiao Xingnian.

The golden talisman took shape, and shot towards the resentful ghost in an instant, "bang", the resentment collided with the golden light.

It exploded immediately, and then the grieving ghost let out a shrill scream, and was firmly trapped by the golden charm.

With the golden spell as the center, a vortex of resentment was formed, quickly absorbing the surrounding resentment.

Soon, the resentment in the room disappeared, but the golden charm didn't stop, continuing to absorb the resentment from the ghost.

The wailing was piercing and piercing, making those who heard it extremely irritable. Qiao Xingnian quickly sat cross-legged, with his heart turned to the sky, pinched his fingers and recited the "Pure Heart Mantra" silently.

Suddenly, the shouting stopped abruptly, and the golden charm flashed, and then shot towards Qiao Xingnian, directly into his body.

The resentment in Qiao Xingnian's body soared, like a fire burning, and like a venom corroding. The intense pain made his soul unstable, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.

At this moment, the Soul Requiem Bell on his chest emitted soft golden light, penetrated into his body, quickly suppressed the rampant resentment in his body, and then gradually refined it.

At the same time, Liu Zhaoqian in interrogation room No. 4 suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out.

After an unknown amount of time, the resentment in his body was finally purified, and Qiao Xingnian heaved a sigh of relief. He opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.He looked himself up and down, and always felt that there was something different, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different, but his soul power was much stronger.

Qiao Xingnian looked at the grieving ghost, and saw him lying weakly on the ground, his eyes were filled with ferocity, replaced by blankness.

"Who are you?" The grieving ghost looked up at Qiao Xingnian.

"Who are you?" Qiao Xingnian returned the same question.

"who am I?"

The blankness in the ghost's eyes was even worse, and he murmured: "Who am I... who am I..."

"Yeah, another one."

Qiao Xingnian shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that the grieving ghost had been arrested right after he died, and kept in a jar. It didn't recover any memory at all, just like the grieving ghost who had just died.

Qiao Xingnian recited the spell silently and released Tao Hui.

Tao Hui looked at the grieving ghost on the ground, and couldn't help but sympathize and said: "His death is too miserable, his whole head was crushed."

"You two have each other."

Tao Hui smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Boss, who is he, and where is this place?"

"This is the home of your good friend Liu Zhaoqian. He was raised by Liu Zhaoqian as a grieving ghost. In all likelihood, he was also killed by Liu Zhaoqian."

Tao Hui felt a sense of sympathy when he heard the words, and said, "Oh, do you still remember who you are?"

The grieving ghost shook his head and said, "I don't remember."

"Then you are lucky to meet the boss, as long as the boss is willing to help you..."

"Stop!" Qiao Xingnian stopped Tao Hui, saying, "He has hurt people so much that he can no longer be reincarnated."

Tao Hui was startled, looked at the complaining ghost, sighed, and said, "Your life is bad, and the boss can't help you."

"Look at him, I'm going to look for evidence in the room."

"Don't worry, boss, we promise to complete the task."

Qiao Xingnian searched the room like a carpet, and finally found a hidden compartment disguised as a socket at the head of the bed in the bedroom, and found a mobile phone from inside.

Qiao Xingnian turned on the phone, looked at the clean call records inside, couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, took out the phone and called Lin Nanyue.

"Hey, Team Lin, ask someone to locate the number that I contacted Ma Hongmei later on."

Lin Nanyue responded, talked to the people around him, and then walked aside with his mobile phone, saying, "Just now the police station called me, saying that Liu Zhaoqian suddenly vomited blood and passed out, and he is now in the hospital for emergency treatment."

Qiao Xingnian was startled, and then said, "Team Lin, don't worry, he won't die for the time being."

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"After I came to his house, I felt something was wrong, and then I found a problem in his study. He is raising ghosts, and he is raising grudges."

"Raising ghosts?" Lin Nanyue couldn't help being a little shocked, and said, "Why does he want to raise ghosts?"

Qiao Xingnian explained: "Using the grieving ghost to use him can make money or kill him. I think the reason why Ma Guojun mistook Tao Hui for killing him is most likely because of the grieving ghost. phantom."

"Is this related to Liu Zhaoqian's sudden vomiting of blood and fainting?"

"If you want the ghost to listen to him, he needs to feed it with his own blood and energy, so that they can form some kind of spiritual imprint. I broke their connection just now, and if the ghost regains consciousness, he will naturally be injured."

"So it is."

"Captain!" Sun Jiajia hurried over and said excitedly, "Captain, the number you asked to check is turned on, and it is located in Kangtai Community."

"Kangtai Community?" Lin Nanyue understood immediately, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nanyue ordered: "Sister Jiajia, call Lei Ming and Xiaojun to come with me."

"Yes, Captain."

The author says:

Check in every day, don’t fatten me up, or I’ll be less motivated, woohoo;

The update will be resumed at [-]:[-] p.m. tomorrow, and the next book will be "The Little Taoist Priest Just Wants to Make Money", also known as "The Little Taoist Wanders into the Mansion of Ghosts by Accident", so please save it!
