[Chapter 76, Speed Train 9-Lies]
Yu Xinxin's words shocked Xiao Loujing—she heard a clear cough, which means 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 be sure when you heard the cough?"
Yu Xinxin tilted her head for a moment and said, "It should be 3:10. I went to the toilet and returned to my seat. I also raised my head and glanced at the time on the screen of the car."
Xiao Lou quickly picked up the paper and pen to write down the key information.
He immediately asked, "What happened after that? Did you hear or see anything?"
Yu Xinxin said: "The old lady seemed to be very ill. She coughed for a while, and the voice got farther and farther away from me, so I couldn't hear it. But it was strange that after the old lady walked away, there seemed to be a dark figure in the dining car. Go in the direction of car 6."
Xiao Lou said gently: "How tall is that shadow? Is it fat or thin? Do you remember?"
Yu Xinxin carefully recalled for a few seconds, and said: "It should be quite thin, but it's not fat anyway! I didn't see how tall it was."
"What 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 a light on the No. 6 car. The light was obvious, and there was still a strange sound from the trash can."
Xiao Lou's heart was startled. There was an obvious light. This should be Liu Yuming using the rechargeable lamp to go to the toilet. He was the only one in the whole group with the rechargeable lamp.
In the previous inquiry, Liu Yuming said that he went to the bathroom at three o’clock in the middle of the night, but the little girl said it was three thirty. There was a half-hour time difference between them—the kid wouldn’t lie, obviously Liu Yuming was lying. !
"Uncle, there won't be mice in the car?" The little girl raised her head seriously.
"There are no mice in the car, maybe someone accidentally touched the trash can." Xiao Lou smiled slightly and asked softly, "How long did the sound last?"
"It's only a few seconds." Yu Xinxin said with a smile, "I was wondering at the time, was it because the mouse was eating in the trash can? Someone got up to catch the mouse in the middle of the night!"
Xiao Lou touched the child's head and said, "Aside from the sound, do you see anything else?"
Yu Xinxin said, "Soon after the sound of the trash can, the two washrooms in Car No. 6 were lit up with red lights."
In the train, there will be a reminder of the toilet on the top of the compartment. When there is no one in the toilet, it will be a green light [No one], and when someone enters the toilet and locks the door, it will turn into a red [Someone].
There are many passengers in the carriage. This setting is also for passengers to judge whether the restrooms are free. If you want to go to the toilet and see that the two restrooms on the top of the carriage are [people], then you can wait for a while and wait for someone to leave before going. .
Unexpectedly, this simple light reminder has become a key clue to the case!
The little girl said that after the light was turned on, a strange sound came from the trash can, and the two toilets became [someone]. This shows that when Liu Yuming went to the toilet, there was another person who entered the toilet opposite him. .
There were two people in the bathroom at that time. Liu Yuming didn't mention such obvious doubts.
Xiao Lou then asked: "Both toilets have red lights, which side turns green first?"
The little girl said: "The restroom on the left quickly turned to a green light. The old man with the lamp walked away. The red light on the right has been on for a long time. Maybe someone is having diarrhea!"
When Yu Xinxin’s mother heard this, her expression became tense: "Did something happen to car number 6? Why did you keep asking my daughter about the situation last night?"
Xiao Lou gave her a relieved look and said, "It's nothing serious, just that an old man lost valuable jewelry. We need to investigate carefully to find the thief." He looked at the child and said softly, "Xin Xin is also I hate thieves, right? So, you have to tell your uncle what you see and hear, okay?"
Xiao Lou has a good way of coaxing the children. With a warm and gentle smile, Yu Xinxin likes this uncle flight attendant very much. In order to cooperate in catching the thief, she actively talked about what she knew—
"I couldn't sleep after the toilet last night. Everyone else in the car was sleeping. I just sat on my seat and looked at the stars outside."
"After the person with the lamp left, there were a lot of meteor showers outside the window, but it was beautiful! I have been watching the meteor shower. After ten minutes, there was a rush of footsteps on the side of car 6, but I didn't watch it. It was clear, but the man walked near the dining car, did not go to the toilet, and suddenly turned around and went back. Immediately after that, the toilet door on the right opened and the light turned green."
"It was around 3:40, and there were two coughs in the car. Then, I was very sleepy and fell asleep."
Xiao Lou flew his pen and wrote down her answer without missing a word.
Yu Xinxin looked at him curiously and asked, "Uncle, can you help me with what I said?"
Xiao Lou smiled gently: "Xinxin is great, what you said is very useful, we will definitely catch the thief."
Yu Xinxin smiled and bent her eyes: "That's good!"
Later, she fell asleep and didn't know. Seeing that Xiao Lou couldn't ask anything else, she asked Yu Xinxin's mother to hug her back, and Yu Xinxin waved to Xiao Lou: "Goodbye, uncle!"
Xiao Lou said goodbye to the little girl. He turned and walked in the direction of Car No. 6, only to walk halfway. Zhou Zheng in Row 8 suddenly stopped him with an ugly face, and whispered in his ear: "Is there a dead person in Car No. 6?"
Xiao Lou unexpectedly turned his head and lowered his voice: "How do you know?"
Zhou Zheng took out his cell phone and showed Xiao Lou the WeChat sent by his girlfriend Mo Jiaran—
There is a long list of WeChat records on the phone: "An old man died in Car No. 6, and the flight attendant also locked the car door to prevent anyone from going out. Just now, they checked all the passengers' luggage one by one. It was too scary!"
Zhou Zheng: "What's the situation? How can you die?"
Mo Jiaran: "I don't know. I heard someone talk about the sudden heart attack or something. The elderly tour group members are very nervous. I don't want to stay in Car No. 6, can you come and pick me up? !"
Zhou Zheng comforted: "Don't worry, I will ask the flight attendant."
He retracted his phone and asked Xiao Lou in a low voice: "Can my girlfriend go back to Car No. 4 to sit in? She is scared over there alone, I don't worry."
Xiao Lou said: "Sorry, we are still investigating, and we can't let anyone leave at the moment. Don't make any announcements, send text messages to tell her, let her stay in her room at ease, this matter has nothing to do with her, we will not be embarrassed her."
Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Okay."
He had a headache and was worried that he could not persuade the eldest lady. Xiao Lou was also afraid of Missy’s trouble, so he went to Car No. 6 to comfort her in the room where Mo Jiaran was, and said, “Miss Mo, don’t worry, our investigation will have results soon. Go back to Car No. 4, and we won't stop you either."
Mo Jiaran paled and nodded.
Xiao Lou turned around and went to the flight attendant's office of car 6, Yu Hanjiang frowned, looking at the record full of testimonies.
The two looked at each other, and Yu Hanjiang hurriedly said, "Professor Xiao sit down."
Xiao Lou smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you sit down in Team Yu. I have Yu Xinxin's testimony here. Let me show you."
He closed the door of the office easily, leaned against the table, and took a closer look at the testimony of Yu Hanjiang's interrogation of Mrs. Mei.
The office is very quiet, and both of them are watching the results of each other's inquiry.
This case is much more complicated than imagined.
After a few seconds, Yu Hanjiang sitting on the seat suddenly picked up the pen and drew a plan of the carriage on the car.
He pointed to the picture and analyzed: "The dining car is in the middle, with car No. 6 on the left and car No. 4 on the right. Since the dining car does not have toilets, it shares 2 toilets with car No. 6, which is located at the end close to car No. 4. Yu. Xinxin's seat is very close to the dining car, so she can clearly see the lights on the top of the car."
Yu Hanjiang followed and drew the seat distribution of the elderly 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 a clear cough. Could this cough be Mrs. Mei? You wrote in the record that she had obvious asthma. I can't help but cough when answering questions."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and said: "It should be her. The murderer committed the crime in the middle of the night, and it is impossible to make too much noise for people to hear. In case the cough awakens the people in the other carriages, the other person opens the door to see the situation. Wouldn't it be bad to be hit? So, only One explanation-Mrs. Mei couldn't control the coughing sound. She did wake up at night to go to the toilet at around three o'clock."
Yu Hanjiang simply picked up the ballpoint pen and sorted out a timeline based on Yu Xinxin’s testimony—
"At 2:00, Li Zhemin played cards with the three old men in the same room and fell asleep together."
"At 3:10, Mrs. Mei got up to go to the bathroom and coughed. Yu Xinxin also saw a figure appearing in the restaurant."
"At 3:30, Liu Yuming went to the toilet holding the light, and the sound of a rat came from the trash can for a few seconds. Another person entered the toilet opposite, and both toilets turned into a red light state of [someone]. ."
"At around 3:40, a person wanted to go to the bathroom first, but halfway through, he hurriedly turned back. At this time, the person in the bathroom opposite finally came out, the car coughed again, and Yu Xinxin fell asleep afterwards."
The timeline is clearly organized.
However, with so many people going to the toilet one after another, Xiao Lou couldn't help but hold his temples with a headache—coughing, lights, sounds near the trash can, hurried footsteps...
It seems that the No. 6 car last night was really undercurrent!
Yu Hanjiang looked at the timeline that Zi Shang had arranged, and touched his chin, lost in thought.
After a while, he began to interpret the clues one by one: "At 3:10, when the old lady went to the bathroom, there was a figure in the restaurant. There is a possibility that the murderer was preparing to commit a crime, and suddenly he heard the old lady coughing. In order to avoid being discovered by the old lady, he Dodged and went to the restaurant."
Xiao Lou felt that this speculation was reasonable. Otherwise, what would you do to go to the restaurant in the middle of the night
He agreed and said: "It makes sense. If you just go to the bathroom, it doesn't matter 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 this person who hides in the restaurant, Probably the murderer."
Yu Hanjiang pointed to the third time line and said: "Liu Yuming is lying. He deliberately confuses the time, and the reason for looking for the watch is also made up—Xin Xin said that a strange sound came from the trash can. It was only a few seconds. Find the watch within seconds."
Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes, in a few seconds, it is more likely that someone accidentally touched the trash can in a panic? This person may be the murderer who was hiding in the restaurant just now. He wanted to go back, but he ran into Liu Yuming again. , I had to hide in the toilet hurriedly."
Yu Hanjiang said: "When Liu Yuming went to the toilet at 3:30, the toilet on the opposite side also lit up with a red light. Your analysis is very reasonable-the person in the restaurant wanted to return to car number 6, but hit Liu Yuming and had to hide. The toilet. He stayed in the toilet until 3:40."
Yu Hanjiang used a pen to circle the key points: "3:40, this time is very important. Three people appeared at the same time-the first one was hiding in the toilet. He felt safe outside, and finally came out; One was to go to the toilet, and the people who turned back halfway, probably saw someone coming out of the toilet, and hurriedly turned and ran away; the other was Mrs. Mei, who coughed again at night."
Xiao Lou frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Li Zhemin's death time should be after 3:40, so it seems that in the half hour between 3:10-3:40, many people in the elderly group get up to go to the bathroom at night. As a result, the murderer kept encountering 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.
This person who keeps hiding is most likely the murderer.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he repeatedly avoided the acquaintances of the elderly group.
For the last time, Mrs. Mei got up at night, Xinxin was so sleepy that she fell asleep, and she didn't see the situation afterwards. Did the murderer escape, or did he finally fail to escape and was discovered by the old lady
If it is the latter, then Mrs. Mei must be shielding the murderer.
Xiao Lou looked at the testimony of these people again, and said: "Old lady Mei and Niu Dapeng live in the same room. Niu Dapeng can know that Liu Yuming next door goes to the toilet with a lamp. It is impossible not to know that old lady Mei has also been to the toilet. -Niu Dapeng is deliberately concealing."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Liu Yuming confuses the night time and makes up an excuse to go to the trash can to find a watch. He is also lying."
Xiao Lou said: "Zheng Weiguo said that he got up early in the morning and found the IOU from the deceased's pocket. He was obviously lying."
Both of them squeezed their eyebrows with a headache.
—Everyone is lying.
If it hadn't been for Yu Xinxin's reorganization of the timeline, they 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 protect 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 temporarily ruled out. Their appearance just alarmed the murderer and made the murderer hide. Then, the murderer may be in Niu Dapeng, Coming from Zheng Weiguo. Niu Dapeng is tall and fat. Xinxin said that the figure is thin, and Zheng Weiguo is more likely?"
Zheng Weiguo owes gambling debts, steals IOUs, kills, and has sufficient motives and sufficient time to commit crimes.
But why did he admit that he stole the IOU? Since the IOU has been destroyed, if he does not admit it, no one can find evidence...
Xiao Lou always felt something was wrong.
At this moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly narrowed his eyes: "I think the person who turned back halfway 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 like this. At 3:30, Liu Yuming went to the bathroom with a lamp. At that time, Zheng Weiguo, who was in the same room, might be awake. He found that his roommate had gone alone. The toilet and the other two were asleep, so he climbed out of bed and took the opportunity to take the IOU from Li Zhemin's pocket."
"Liu Yuming went to the toilet and came back to sleep soon. Zheng Weiguo listened to the movement in the room, and after Liu Yuming fell asleep, he secretly got up and wanted to go to the toilet to flush this IOU with water."
The clue of the IOU has not been found.
The EMU is a fully enclosed compartment, the windows cannot be opened, and it is easy to be found by the flight attendants when thrown in the trash can. Burning... EMU is completely non-smoking and fire-free. Once it ignites, it will directly trigger a smoke alarm.
It is not safe to hide the IOU on the body or in the bag. If you want to completely destroy it, there is only one best way-the toilet!
He tore the note to pieces, threw it into the toilet, and flushed it with water to completely destroy the evidence.
Unexpectedly, when he got up to the toilet, a person suddenly came out from the toilet. Therefore, Zheng Weiguo guilty conscience, hurriedly turned back, and directly ate the IOU into his mouth as the team Yu had previously speculated.
Team Yu’s speculation logic is reasonable, otherwise, who would go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, walk halfway and turn back
In this way, it is unlikely that Zheng Weiguo was the murderer. He was only stealing the IOU and did not kill anyone. The murderer was the one who hid in the restaurant before and then 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 the shadow 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 solemnly, and said in a low voice: "The first Aunt Shu Ping we excluded."
Shu Ping’s testimony flashed through Xiao Lou's mind—
Introduce her daughter to Li Zhemin’s son, but Li Zhemin scolded her daughter for being uneducated. She was angry, so she stole Li Zhemin’s insulin and wanted to teach Li Zhemin. At that time, the two believed that if she was the murderer, there was no need to steal insulin to superfluous, and that she was only being scolded by her daughter and had insufficient motives for committing the crime, so they ruled her out first.
Her testimony seemed reasonable and could alleviate her suspicion.
But there is a key.
Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "Her testimony, no one can testify."
Niu Dapeng and Li Zhemin scrambled for manager positions, and everyone can testify for years of grievances;
When Zheng Weiguo stole the IOU, Liu Yuming had seen the IOU and could testify;
Most people know that Liu Yuming's beloved first love was pryed to the corner by Li Zhemin, and Mrs. Mei can also testify.
However, who can testify to what Shu Ping said
Only the dead Li Zhemin knows the truth!
She unilaterally said that Li Zhemin scolded her daughter for being uneducated. She couldn't bear it and wanted to retaliate against each other. She only mentioned the contradiction between her and Li Zhemin, but no third person could witness it.
In fact, from the beginning, Shu Ping's testimony was the least credible!
The author has something to say: The real murderer is about to surface, see you at night:)
