Chapter 225: Free travel

Bai Longfei and Wang Hai walked towards us and said, "Not yet. Wang Hai suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet for a long time. When he came out, we saw someone jumping off the building."

Bai Longfei walked to my side nonchalantly, but I kept staring at Wang Hai who was silent, because when they left before, Wang Hai asked Bai Longfei to leave with him, but now they still stayed here because Wang Hai went to the toilet. This made me a little suspicious of Wang Hai.

Take the opportunity to leave, then pretend to go to the bathroom and wait for an opportunity to kill

Thinking back to what happened today, Wang Hai seemed to have been following us from beginning to end, and approached us intentionally. Could it be that he actually had a purpose? Could it be that this Wang Hai was the one arranged by Qiongqi? He seemed a little plain, but was actually hiding murderous intentions

Perhaps it was my gaze that made Wang Hai feel a little uncomfortable. He covered his stomach and said in a weak voice, "I don't know what I ate at noon. Now my stomach hurts so badly. Let the doctor prescribe some medicine for me later. I'm afraid I'll get dehydrated if this continues."

Although I am not completely sure now whether Wang Hai is pretending or it is real, but the suspicion of Wang Hai in my mind has reached its peak at this moment. In the subsequent investigation, I will bring Wang Hai into this case as the first suspect.

The sudden appearance of Bai Longfei and Wang Hai made me shift my attention. At this time, I was not so disgusted by Zheng Wei's body. Under the guidance of Bai Longfei, I squatted beside Zheng Wei's body and observed it carefully.

Bai Longfei was fearless to begin with. He put on his gloves, squatted beside the corpse, and turned to ask me, "Where do you need to see?"

Seeing Bai Longfei's carefree appearance, I pointed at Zheng Wei's dead body's hand and said, "Let's see what's in his hand first. If I'm not mistaken, he should have been smoking secretly by the window before he fell from the building."

Bai Longfei immediately opened Zheng Wei's hands and saw that Zheng Wei's right hand was clenched tightly. Although Bai Longfei did not open the corpse's fist, I could see traces of tobacco between the fists. It was obvious that what he was holding in his hand should be an unfinished cigarette butt, but because he dropped it in a hurry, he subconsciously held the cigarette butt in his palm.

I asked Bai Longfei to find a way to take the cigarette butt out of the corpse's hand, and then turned my attention to the soles of the corpse's shoes. At that time, I found that there seemed to be some unknown liquid on the soles of the corpse's shoes, and I didn't know what it was.

I immediately asked the forensic doctor to extract the liquid from the soles of the corpse's shoes and test its composition as soon as possible. Then Bai Longfei took out the cigarette butt from the corpse's hand. I am also an old smoker, and I recognized the brand of cigarettes just by taking a look at the crumpled cigarette butt.

Since Qian Jun and his companions were not police officers, the surrounding police officers did not let them in. At this moment, I waved to Qian Jun, motioning him to come over, and then asked him, "Do you know what brand of cigarettes the deceased, Zheng Wei, smoked before he died?"

"Of course I know. He's not well off. He usually lives frugally and smokes 7.5 yuan Hongtashan cigarettes."

When I heard Qian Jun say this, I immediately felt a little embarrassed. I thought to myself that I usually smoke Hongtashan, which costs 7.5 yuan. So I am considered a person of poor conditions in the eyes of these people. But I didn't think much about it and immediately asked, "Then let me ask, is it possible that Zheng Wei smokes Furongwang?"

"Absolutely impossible. He should be thankful that he can buy a pack of ten-dollar cigarettes. How could he smoke Furongwang?"

This was the answer I wanted, so I immediately asked, "Who among you is smoking? Who is smoking Furong Wang?"

This question was obviously very easy for Qian Jun to answer, and he blurted out, "Only Zheng Wei and I are smoking, but neither of us smoke Furongwang."

Lin Yingxue had been listening quietly beside me. At this moment, she seemed to understand something and asked me, "Are you saying that someone deliberately gave Zheng Wei a cigarette and asked him to secretly open the window in the ward to smoke, so Zheng Wei stepped on a banana peel and fell from the building?"

"That's absolutely right! As long as we can find the person who gave Zheng Wei the cigarettes, then everything will be clear!"

We were analyzing the situation here, and the remaining passengers who were watching from the outside seemed to have heard our conversation. The girl who was about my age said with a worried look on her face, "Someone gave Zheng Wei a cigarette? It's obvious that we have been cursed by the god of death. Zheng Wei is just the first one. I'm afraid we will all die next!"

The male passengers nearby seemed to dislike this girl very much. They all stood at a relatively far distance. One of them said, "What kind of curse is this god of death? Do you believe in these fictitious things?"

"Why don't you believe it? Now the facts are in front of us. Do you really think that Zheng Wei's death was just a coincidence? Then why did he suddenly fall from the building at this critical moment?"

The two people over there started arguing about this matter, and I also turned my gaze over there, because I knew that the murderer of this case was most likely one of them or Wang Hai beside me. I must carefully observe their every move, any insignificant words, even a small emotion or movement.

I turned around and whispered to Qian Jun beside me: "By the way, you haven't answered my question before. Can you briefly introduce your companions to me? Are you traveling here by yourself, or did you make an appointment to travel together in advance?"

Qian Jun scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I don't know all their names. I only know their nicknames or nicknames. We call that girl 'Soft Girl', but I don't know her real name. One of the remaining two men is Ning Fan, and the other we call 'Brother Dali'. I don't know much about the others. Actually, you should understand at a glance that it is definitely not our own initiative to come to Shaolin Temple for the New Year. Not long ago, we all received a strange express delivery. In the express delivery was a travel voucher for a three-day tour of Shaolin Temple. My family is not well off, and I don't usually travel. I finally got the opportunity to travel for free. Even though it is still the New Year, I decided to come and give it a try."

While listening to Qian Jun's introduction, I kept looking at the three passengers who were still arguing about this matter. The soft girl is of course the best. The one wearing glasses and looking gentle should be Ning Fan, and the other one who looks stronger should be Dali Ge.

But these are not what I care about. The only thing I care about is the express delivery that Qian Jun mentioned!

"Do you remember where the sender's name and address were written on the express delivery?"

I hurriedly asked Qian Jun, and Qian Jun thought for a moment and said, "The address is not written, but I remember the sender's name seems to be Qiongqi. I don't know if I remembered it wrong."

As expected, these people were all lured to Shaolin Temple by Qiongqi with travel vouchers! But after I got this answer, I felt a little strange. Why didn't Qiongqi just find some people to set a trap for me, but had to choose such a group of young people from all over the country to act as his cannon fodder? Could it be that these young people are special? Or are these young people all Qiongqi's men, but they are just imitating the method used by Bailou last time to deliberately play tricks on me

No matter what, the experience in Bailou is a scar that I will never forget in my life. Although it is a bit unreasonable to suspect them like this, I have already felt a little scared of similar things, and I am afraid that such a thing will happen to me again.

I was thinking about this in my mind when the forensic doctor came over and said to me, "Preliminary testing of the substance on the soles of the deceased's shoes showed that it should be something similar to lubricant. If its specific composition needs to be tested, I'm afraid I need to take it back for further testing."

After the forensic doctor finished speaking, Bai Longfei beside him slapped his head and said, "That makes sense! The murderer must have made two preparations. First, he deliberately left a lot of banana peels in the victim's ward. Second, he secretly smeared this lubricant on the victim's shoes. This way, he could ensure that the victim would definitely fall from the roof when he was secretly smoking!"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's still not right. Even if that's the case, the murderer can't be 100% sure that the victim died by accident!"

Bai Longfei was a little puzzled and asked: "Why? Isn't all this a natural thing?"

Seeing that Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue didn't understand my doubts, I took them to the first floor of the inpatient department behind me, found a ward at random, opened the window of the ward, and then stood by the window and said to them: "Look, if I were the deceased, and now reconstruct the situation at that time, do you think I could easily slide down like this?"

Lin Yingxue didn't seem to understand what I meant, but Bai Longfei understood what I meant and nodded, "You mean, the windowsill of this hospital is relatively high, so even if the feet slip, the deceased won't slide over the windowsill?"

I nodded and said, "That's what I mean. I just checked and the deceased and I are about the same height. The window sill is right at my hips. Although it's still relatively low, even if I slip, I can't slide over such a high window sill, unless..."

As I said that, I suddenly stood on tiptoe and leaned forward slightly. My upper body was basically outside the window. In this position, if my feet slipped, I would definitely fall out of the window on the spot!

"Unless the deceased noticed any movement outside the window, or there was someone downstairs calling the deceased!"
