[Chapter 76, Speed ​​Train 9 - Lies]

Xiao Lou's spirit was shaken by Yu Xinxin's words - she heard a clear coughing sound, which meant that Liu Yuming was not the only one who got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night last night!

Xiao Lou looked at her with a smile, and continued to ask: "Xinxin, can you confirm the time when you heard the cough?"

Yu Xinxin tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It should be 3:10. I went to the toilet, returned to my seat, and raised my head to look at the time on the screen in the car."

Xiao Lou quickly picked up the pen and paper, and wrote down this crucial information.

He followed up and asked, "What happened after that? Did you hear or see anything else?"

Yu Xinxin said: "The old lady seemed to be very ill. She coughed for a while, and the sound got farther and farther away from me, and I couldn't hear it anymore. But it was strange. After the old lady walked away, there seemed to be a dark shadow in the dining car. Go in the direction of car No. 6."

Xiao Louwen said: "How tall is that black shadow? Fat or thin? Do you remember?"

Yu Xinxin recalled it carefully for a few seconds, and said, "It should be pretty thin, but it's not fat anyway! I didn't see how tall it was."

"And then?" Xiao Lou looked at her and asked, "Is there anyone else going to the bathroom?"

"Yes! A few minutes later, um... At about 3:30, I saw the lights on the No. 6 car. The light was obvious, and there was a strange sound from the trash can."

Xiao Lou was startled, the obvious light, this should be Liu Yuming going to the toilet with the rechargeable light, he was the only one in the whole group with the rechargeable light.

During the previous inquiry, Liu Yuming said that he went to the toilet at 3:30 in the middle of the night, but the little girl said it was 3:30, and there was a time difference of half an hour-kids will not lie, obviously Liu Yuming was there lie!

"Uncle, there shouldn't be any mice in the carriage?" The little girl raised her head seriously and said.

"There are no rats in the car, maybe someone accidentally touched the trash can." Xiao Lou smiled and asked softly, "How long did that sound last?"

"It's only a few seconds." Yu Xinxin said with a smile, "At that time, I wondered if the rats were rummaging through the trash can, and someone got up in the middle of the night to catch the rats!"

Xiao Lou touched the child's head and said, "Apart from the sound, did you see anything else?"

Yu Xinxin said: "Shortly after the sound of the trash can sounded, the two washrooms in the No. 6 car were lit up with red lights."

On the high-speed train, there will be a reminder of the toilet on the top of the carriage. When the toilet is empty, it will be a green light [no one], and when someone enters the toilet and locks the door, it will turn into a red light [occupancy].

There are many passengers in the carriage. This setting is also for passengers to judge whether the restroom is free. If you want to go to the restroom and see that the two restrooms on the top of the carriage are [occupied], you can wait for a while until someone leaves. .

Unexpectedly, this simple light prompt became the key clue of the case!

The little girl said that after the light was turned on, there was a strange sound from the trash can, followed by the two toilets becoming [people], which meant that when Liu Yuming went to the toilet, another person entered the toilet opposite him .

There were two people in the bathroom at that time, but Liu Yuming didn't bring up such an obvious suspicious point at all.

Xiao Lou then asked: "Both bathrooms have red lights, which side turns green first?"

The little girl said: "The restroom on the left quickly turned into a green light. The old man with the light went away, and the right side was always red. It lasted for a long time. Maybe someone is having diarrhea!"

When Yu Xinxin's mother heard this, her face became tense: "Did something happen to the No. 6 car? Why do you keep asking my daughter what happened in the middle of the night last night?"

Xiao Lou gave her a reassuring look, and said, "It's nothing serious, but an old man lost his precious jewelry. We need to investigate carefully and find the thief." He looked at the child, and said softly, "Xinxin also You hate thieves, right? So, you have to tell uncle everything you see and hear, okay?"

Xiao Lou has a good way of coaxing children, and with a kind and gentle smile, Yu Xinxin likes this uncle flight attendant very much. In order to cooperate with catching the thief, she is very active in telling what she knows——

"I couldn't sleep after finishing the toilet last night. Everyone else in the car was sleeping, so I just sat on the seat and watched the stars outside."

"After the man with the lamp left, there were suddenly a lot of meteor showers outside the window, which was beautiful! I had been watching the meteor shower. After ten minutes, there was the sound of hurried footsteps from the No. 6 car. I didn't watch it. Clearly, but the man walked near the dining car, didn't go to the bathroom, and suddenly turned back. Immediately afterwards, the toilet door on the right opened and the light turned green."

"It was around 3:40, and there were two coughs in the carriage, and then, I was very sleepy and fell asleep."

Xiao Lou wrote down her answer verbatim with a pen like flying.

Yu Xinxin looked at him curiously and asked, "Uncle, can what I said help you?"

Xiao Lou smiled slightly: "Xinxin is great, what you said is very useful, we will definitely catch the thief."

Yu Xinxin smiled and rolled her eyes: "That's good!"

She fell asleep and didn't know what happened later. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything else, Xiao Lou asked Yu Xinxin's mother to carry her back. Yu Xinxin waved to Xiao Lou: "Goodbye, uncle!"

Xiao Lou says goodbye to the little girl

, he turned around and walked in the direction of the No. 6 car, but halfway there, Zhou Zheng in the 8th row suddenly stopped him with an ugly face, and asked in a low voice, "Is someone dead in the No. 6 car?"

Xiao Lou turned around unexpectedly, and lowered his voice: "How do you know?"

Zhou Zheng took out his mobile phone and showed Xiao Lou the WeChat message sent by his girlfriend Mo Jiaran——

There is a long list of WeChat records in the mobile phone: "An old man died in the No. 6 carriage, and the flight attendant even locked the door of the carriage to prevent anyone from going out. Just now they checked the luggage of all the passengers one by one. It was too scary!"

Zhou Zheng: "What's the situation? How could someone die?"

Mo Jiaran: "I don't know, I heard some people talking outside, saying that it was a heart attack or something, the people in the elderly tour group are very nervous, I don't want to stay in the No. 6 car, can you come and pick me up? !"

Zhou Zheng comforted: "Don't worry, I'll ask the flight attendant."

He took back his phone and asked Xiao Lou in a low voice: "Can you let my girlfriend go back to the No. 4 car? She's worried there alone, I don't worry."

Xiao Loudao: "Sorry, we are still investigating, and we can't let anyone leave for the time being. Don't publicize it to the outside world, send a text message to tell her, let her stay in her room with peace of mind, this matter has nothing to do with her, we will not embarrass you her."

Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Okay."

He had a headache, worried that he would not be able to convince the eldest lady. Xiao Lou was also afraid that the eldest lady would make trouble, so he went to carriage No. 6, went to Mo Jiaran's room to comfort her, and said, "Miss Mo, don't worry, our investigation will have results soon, when you want to Go back to carriage No. 4, and we won't stop you either."

Mo Jiaran nodded palely.

Xiao Lou turned around and came to the steward's office of No. 6 car. Yu Hanjiang was frowning slightly, looking at the notebook full of testimonies.

The two looked at each other, and Yu Hanjiang hurriedly stood up and said, "Professor Xiao, sit down."

Xiao Lou smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, Captain Yu, sit down, I have Yu Xinxin's testimony here, let me show you."

He closed the office door smoothly, leaned against the table, and took up the testimony of Yu Hanjiang's interrogation of Mrs. Mei and looked at it carefully.

The office was very quiet, and both of them were looking at the results of each other's inquiries.

This case is much more complicated than imagined.

After a few seconds, Yu Hanjiang who was sitting on the seat suddenly picked up a pen and drew a floor plan of the carriage in his notebook.

He pointed to the picture and analyzed: "The dining car is in the middle, with the No. 6 car on the left and the No. 4 car on the right. Since the dining car has no toilet, it shares two toilets with No. 6 car, and the location is just at the end near the No. 4 car. Xinxin's seat is very close to the dining car, so she can clearly see the light prompt on the top of the car."

Yu Hanjiang then drew the seat distribution of the senior group: "Room 1, Room 2, and Room 3 are all far away from the bathroom. They need to go through the entire carriage to reach the bathroom near the dining car."

Xiao Lou looked at the testimony with some doubts, and said, "According to Xinxin's description, she heard an obvious coughing sound. Could this coughing sound be Mrs. Mei? You wrote in the record that she had obvious asthma, I can't help coughing when answering questions."

Yu Hanjiang nodded and said: "It should be her. The murderer commits the crime in the middle of the night, and it is impossible for people to make too much noise. If the coughing wakes up the people in other carriages, wouldn't it be bad to be bumped into when the other party opens the door to check the situation? So, only One explanation—Ms. Mei couldn't control her coughing, and she did get up at three o'clock to go to the bathroom at night."

Yu Hanjiang simply picked up the ballpoint pen, and compiled a timeline based on Yu Xinxin's testimony——

"At 2:00, Li Zhemin finished playing cards with the three old men in the same room and went to bed together."

"At 3:10, Mrs. Mei got up to go to the toilet and coughed. Yu Xinxin also saw a figure appearing in the restaurant."

"At 3:30, Liu Yuming went to the toilet with a light in his hand, and the sound of rats came from the trash can, which lasted for a few seconds. Another person entered the opposite toilet, and both toilets turned into a red light state of [occupied] .”

"Around 3:40, a person wanted to go to the bathroom, but turned back in a hurry. At this time, the person in the bathroom opposite finally came out, and there was another coughing sound in the carriage, and Yu Xinxin fell asleep afterwards."

The timeline is well organized.

However, with so many people going to the bathroom one after another, Xiao Lou couldn't help pressing his temples with a headache—coughing, lights, sounds near the trash can, footsteps hurrying away...

It seems that the No. 6 car last night was really undercurrent!

Yu Hanjiang looked at the timeline organized in the notebook, rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he began to interpret the clues one by one: "At 3:10, a figure appeared in the dining room when the old lady went to the toilet. There is a possibility that the murderer was about to commit the crime when he suddenly heard the old lady coughing. To avoid being discovered by the old lady, he Dodged and hid in the restaurant."

Xiao Lou thinks this speculation is reasonable, otherwise, what would you do in the restaurant in the middle of the night?

He agreed and said: "It makes sense. If you just go to the toilet, it doesn't matter even if you meet Mrs. Mei face to face. There is no need to hide in the restaurant unless you have a ghost in your heart. It seems that the person who hid in the restaurant, Possibly the murderer."

Yu Hanjiang pointed to the third timeline and said: "Liu Yuming is lying, he deliberately confused the time, and the reason for looking for the watch is also fabricated - Xinxin said that there was a strange sound coming from the trash can, it was only a few seconds, he couldn't possibly Find the watch in seconds."

Xiao Lou nodded: "That's right, for a few seconds, it's more likely that someone accidentally touched the trash can in a panic? This

The person may be the murderer who hid in the restaurant just now, and wanted to go back, but ran into Liu Yuming again, so he had to hide in the toilet in a hurry. "

Yu Hanjiang said: "When Liu Yuming went to the toilet at 3:30, the opposite toilet also had a red light on. Your analysis is very reasonable—the person in the restaurant wanted to return to No. 6 car, but he ran into Liu Yuming and had to hide. Going to the bathroom. He was in the bathroom until 3:40."

Yu Hanjiang circled several key points in the notebook with a pen: "3:40, this time point is very critical, three people appeared at the same time - the first one is the person hiding in the toilet, he felt that it was safe outside, and finally came out; The other was about to go to the toilet, but turned back halfway, probably saw someone coming out of the toilet, turned around and ran away in a hurry; and the old lady Mei, she got up at night and coughed again."

Xiao Lou frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Li Zhemin's death time should be after 3:40. From this point of view, during the half hour from 3:10 to 3:40, many people in the senior group got up to go to the toilet at night. As a result, the murderer kept meeting other people...he first hid in the restaurant and then in the toilet opposite, but the last time he came out of the toilet, would he run into Mrs. Mei?"

Xiao Lou pointed out a key point.

The person who keeps hiding is very likely to be the murderer.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why he repeatedly avoided the acquaintances of the old people's group.

The last time, when Mrs. Mei got up at night, Xinxin was so sleepy that she fell asleep and didn't see what happened afterwards. Did the murderer escape, or did he finally fail to escape and was discovered by the old lady?

If it was the latter, then Mrs. Mei must be covering up the murderer.

Xiao Lou re-read the testimonies of these people, and said: "Madam Mei and Niu Dapeng live in the same room. If Niu Dapeng knew that Liu Yuming next door went to the toilet with a light, it is impossible not to know that Mrs. Mei also went to the toilet. ——Niu Dapeng is deliberately concealing it."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Liu Yuming confused the time of night, and made up an excuse that he went to the trash can to find a watch. He is also lying."

Xiao Loudao: "Zheng Weiguo said that he got up early in the morning and found the IOU from the deceased's pocket, which is obviously a lie."

Both of them pinched their brows with headaches at the same time.

—Everyone is lying.

If Yu Xinxin hadn't rearranged the timeline, the two of them would have been stunned by the lies of this group of people.

Yu Hanjiang said helplessly: "From this point of view, it is very likely that Mrs. Mei will cover up the murderer, and Li Zhemin's popularity is too bad."

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, reorganized his thoughts, and said, "At present, Liu Yuming and Mrs. Mei can be ruled out temporarily. Their appearance just alarmed the murderer and made the murderer hide. Then, the murderer may be in Niu Dapeng, It was born among Zheng Weiguo. Niu Dapeng is tall and fat. Xinxin said, the figure is thinner, Zheng Weiguo is more likely?"

Zheng Weiguo owed a lot of gambling debts, stole IOUs, killed people, had sufficient motives, and had sufficient time to commit crimes.

But why did he admit that he stole the IOU? Now that the IOU has been destroyed, if he refuses to admit it, no one will be able to find evidence...

Xiao Lou always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Yu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes suddenly: "I think the person who turned back halfway to go to the toilet at 3:40 in the morning is Zheng Weiguo."

Xiao Lou was a little surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou, and analyzed in a low voice: "We can calculate this way. At 3:30, Liu Yuming went to the bathroom with a lamp. At that time, Zheng Weiguo, who was in the same room, was probably awake. He found that his roommate went alone. The toilet and the other two were sound asleep, so he climbed out of bed and took the opportunity to take the IOU from Li Zhemin's pocket."

"Liu Yuming came back to sleep soon after going to the toilet. Zheng Weiguo listened to the movement in the room, and after Liu Yuming fell asleep, he got up secretly, intending to go to the toilet to flush the IOU with water."

The clue of the IOU has never been found.

The bullet train is a fully enclosed compartment, the windows cannot be opened, and it is easy for the crew to find it if it is thrown into the trash can; if it is burned... the bullet train is completely prohibited from smoking and fire. Once it is ignited, the smoke alarm will be triggered directly.

It is not safe to hide IOUs on your body or in your bag. If you want to completely destroy them, there is only one best way-toilet!

He tore up the note, threw it into the toilet, and flushed it with water to completely destroy the evidence.

Unexpectedly, when he got up to go to the toilet, a person suddenly came out from the toilet, so Zheng Weiguo felt guilty, turned back in a hurry, and directly ate the IOU as Team Yu had speculated before.

Team Yu's speculation is logical, otherwise, who would go to the toilet in the middle of the night and turn back halfway there?

From this point of view, it is unlikely that Zheng Weiguo is the murderer. He just stole the IOU and did not kill anyone. The murderer was the one who hid in the restaurant before, hid in the toilet all the time, and came out of the toilet at 3:40.

Not Zheng Weiguo, not Liu Yuming, not old lady Mei.

Xiao Lou said: "It seems to be Niu Dapeng? But... Xinxin said that Soi Ying is very thin, and Niu Dapeng is tall and fat."

At this point, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It seems that there is another person who has been ignored by us!"

Yu Hanjiang nodded with a serious expression, and said in a low voice, "Aunt Shu Ping is the first one we excluded."

Shu Ping's testimony flashed in Xiao Lou's mind——

Introduced her daughter to Li Zhemin's son, but Li Zhemin scolded her daughter for being uneducated, and she got angry, so she stole Li Zhemin's insulin and wanted to teach Li Zhemin a lesson. At that time, the two thought that if she was the murderer, there was no need to steal insulin to add to the snake, and since she was only scolded by her daughter, the motive for committing the crime was insufficient, so they excluded her first.

her testimony

It seems reasonable, and it can also alleviate your suspicions.

But there is a key.

Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "No one can testify to her testimony."

Niu Dapeng and Li Zhemin competed for the manager position, and everyone can testify to the years of grievances;

Zheng Weiguo stole the IOU, Liu Yuming has seen the IOU, so he can be a witness;

Liu Yuming's beloved first love was pried into a corner by Li Zhemin. Most people know that Mrs. Mei can also testify.

However, who can testify to what Shu Ping said?

Only the dead Li Zhemin knows the truth!

She said unilaterally that Li Zhemin scolded her daughter for being uneducated, she couldn't understand it, and wanted to take revenge on him. She only mentioned the conflict between her and Li Zhemin, but no third person could witness it.

In fact, from the very beginning, Shu Ping's testimony was the most unreliable!

The author has something to say: The real culprit is about to surface, see you tonight :)
