Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 1213 Compulsory Courses

Just in front of the door of Wang Liang's rental house, Chen Mingming stopped and looked down the stairs.

The corridor lights of the old building flickered on and off, and because of the discovery of dead bodies here, the original residents upstairs and downstairs also moved out one after another in the past few days.

Even slight footsteps can be heard clearly at this time.

Finally, Zhao Le appeared in Chen Mingming's line of sight... He touched the handrail of the stairs, looked up, his eyes were expressionless, and he climbed up step by step.

Finally, Zhao Le finished walking the stairs and stood with Chen Mingming.

He just started to speak, his face was not as stiff as when he went upstairs, as if he was afraid, "This is not good...it's sealed."

Chen Mingming didn't care, and tore off the seal casually (he came here once with Zhou Yusheng, and put a new seal on when he left.)
Seeing that Chen Mingming tore off the seal, Zhao Le opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it anyway.

But then, Chen Mingming directly took out the key, and when he opened the door of this rental house, Zhao Le could no longer maintain his composure, and said in surprise, "You...how do you have the key?"

"Come in." Chen Mingming pushed open the door, said something casually, and then turned on the light in the house from the button in front of the door.

When entering the door, Chen Mingming took off his shoes and put them aside before he really walked in.

Zhao Le hesitated for a few seconds, with countless questions in his heart... But thinking that he had followed up here, he took a deep breath and followed him in.

He didn't take off his shoes, but closed the door gently.

When Zhao Le walked into the room, he saw Chen Mingming leaning on a freezer in the center of the living room, looking at him like this.

Zhao Le was about to speak, but Chen Mingming spoke first: "How about we do a homework?"

"Homework?" Zhao Le was slightly taken aback.

Chen Mingming nodded, "It's like homework assigned by the teacher... Let's deduce what happened here when the crime happened."

Zhao Le said: "Obviously, don't play around... just let the police do this thing, we are just students, nothing... Did you borrow the key from your father? Or did you steal it?"

"Don't worry, the key was obtained through legitimate channels." Chen Mingming said calmly, "There will be no consequences of illegal entry... Let's continue with the homework we just said."

"I don't have time to be crazy with you." Zhao Le's face darkened, "I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Chen Mingming said: "You don't want to, let the police know that you came here quietly at night, right? Not only did you come here, but you also deliberately parked your bicycle at the entrance of the supermarket. When you planned to go back, you rode back from the supermarket. Bar?"

Zhao Le turned around and was silent for a moment before frowning: "You...you haven't left?"

Chen Mingming didn't answer, but just said to himself: "This is the first scene where the body was found, the deceased Wang Liang, whose body was buried in this freezer. His body was cut into pieces by the murderer, and it was incomplete. So far , there are still several parts of the body that have not been found, and it is presumed that they have been taken away by someone, so the cause of death is unknown...Let's infer, if you were the murderer, how would you choose to commit the crime?"

"I said, stop playing!" Zhao Le said angrily.

Chen Mingming suddenly walked to the sofa and lay down, "If I were Wang Liang, I was lying here and fell asleep, what would you do?"

"Enough!" Zhao Le almost roared.

Chen Ming was expressionless, but picked up the phone casually, "Although it seems a bit despicable, I think your sister probably doesn't want you to be taken for questioning."

"You..." Zhao Le gritted his teeth, then exhaled slowly, "Okay, I'll play with you."

He went directly to the sofa, looked at Chen Mingming who was lying on the sofa, and then looked around... Zhao Le saw a fruit knife on the coffee table, and suddenly picked it up, then looked at Chen Mingming, His eyes were cold.

"Do you use a knife?" Chen Mingming said calmly.

Zhao Le said impatiently: "How do I know, I can use whatever is convenient for me, isn't it the same for killing people in anger!"

Chen Mingming said: "The corpse is divided, it is not convenient to use force with this knife. There are thicker dishes in the kitchen..."

"I said, I didn't kill anyone!!" Zhao Le interrupted angrily
"This is just a deduction." Chen Mingming sat up, raised his head and said, "Why are you so excited?"

Zhao Le sneered and said, "Who wouldn't be excited to be treated like this by you? What exactly do you want to do? Play detective games? Or are you kids from a police family who are bored and want to prove yourself?! Do I deserve to be suspected? Just because Am I a family member of the victim?!"

However, Chen Mingming said to himself: "Using a knife is not suitable. If you use a knife, blood will splatter. No matter if the blood falls on the sofa, bed, or floor, there will be traces left... The police have a lot of means to check it out. "

"I've said it all, I'm not the murderer." Zhao Le slowly put down his hand...but the knife didn't put down.

Chen Mingming said: "Actually, there is one more thing that has not been made public, and that is the place where the body is dismembered... in the bathroom."

Zhao Le subconsciously looked in the direction of the bathroom, then frowned and said, "So what!"

Chen Mingming said slowly: "The blood test showed that there were a lot of blood on the walls and ceiling of the entire bathroom... In addition, fragmentary tissue residues were also found at the bayonet position of the U-shaped pipe in the sewer, which belonged to Wang Liang's..."

Zhao Le suddenly said: "You're not right, why is it on the sofa in the living room? Why can't it be the bathroom? At that time, Wang Liang was taking a bath, the murderer broke into the house, and killed him directly in the bathroom!"

Chen Mingming still didn't answer, but instead said: "Killing in anger...you mentioned it just now, right? Why do you think it's killing in anger?"

Zhao Le said bitterly: "How do I know! You are forcing me to do this thing! I only see the fruit knife, pick it up casually, it is not anger or anything!"

Chen Mingming shook his head: "It's not anger, it should be a planned murder... Did you see that freezer? This is Wang Liang's second freezer, which is used to hide corpses. Obviously, the murderer has already prepared to hide corpses. "

"This has nothing to do with me." Zhao Le snorted coldly.

Chen Mingming pushed forward step by step, "In fact, the police have already found out the place where this freezer was sold, and from the owner, they also know the person who bought this freezer...some characteristics."

Zhao Le's gaze fluttered slightly... the fruit knife he was holding also trembled slightly at this moment.

"The police...have the police found that person?" Zhao Le looked at Chen Mingming, and seemed to hold his breath.

"You are very nervous." Chen Mingming said suddenly.

"Who isn't nervous, you brought me here and talked about so many things!" Zhao Le took a deep breath, "I'm going crazy!"

Chen Mingming looked into Zhao Le's eyes and said, "Just now you said... that person? It's very strange, why didn't you call the murderer directly, but... that person?"

Zhao Le said indifferently: "Don't play this kind of word game with me. Whether that person or the murderer, it's just a reference!"

Chen Mingming nodded suddenly, seeing Zhao Le holding a knife like this, stood up, "Okay...the homework is done, let's go."

Zhao Le was taken aback, he even made some preparations, but he never thought that Chen Mingming would suddenly give up the questioning at this time, which made him suddenly feel at a loss.

"Obviously...you...what the hell are you?"

"Didn't you say it, just do a homework."

Chen Mingming came to the door, took out the shoehorn from the drawer of the shoe cabinet at the door, and put on his shoes, "I'm not a real policeman...Aren't you leaving? I'm going to lock the door."

Zhao Le moved his lips, but finally put down the fruit knife.

He remained silent and followed Chen Mingming all the way away... until he reached the corner of the old street.

At this time, there is no longer anyone around, but there are some people walking around... It's not in full view of the public, but if there are any troubles, people can naturally see them.

Chen Mingming looked at the time, "37 minutes before and after... I'm afraid you should pedal faster when you go back."

Zhao Le was not sure what Chen Mingming was thinking, he hesitated and said, "Tonight..."

Chen Mingming waved his hands and said, "Have you actually been to the scene?"

Zhao Le's breathing was obviously faster.

Chen Mingming stepped back slowly, and said, "When I said that the murderer's body was dismembered in the bathroom, you subconsciously saw it...Of course, you can also say that you noticed it when you came in. But I think it's a little sudden I can't control my reaction, right? Anyway, no matter what I say tonight, I have no evidence, these are just my speculations... who knows."

Zhao Le opened his mouth.

Chen Mingming turned around, walked into the dark place, and finally said, "I'm leaving in a few days... I hope to hear your story when I leave."

After all, Zhao Le didn't say anything, turned around and walked away quickly...then ran away.

……

……

On the old street, Chen Mingming stopped when he was walking.

He turned around, raised his head, and saw two dimly lit foreign lamps, and an ancient pine door... Chen Mingming thought for a while, then pushed open the door and walked in.

In this not particularly spacious lobby, but full of sense of space, Chen Mingming saw the boss sitting in front of the bar with his back to him.

A muffled sound came from the record player in the corner.

Chen Mingming walked up to the boss, looked around, and asked curiously, "Where's your maid?"

Boss Luo said casually at this time: "She is busy with something..."

With that said, Boss Luo made a detour and walked into the bar, his fingers swept lightly on the closet, "Sit down, I want to drink something."

Chen Mingming sat down, but he didn't say what to order, he just asked, "Did I come here by myself, or did you ask me to come?"

Luo Qiu smiled and said: "Those who want to come will naturally come, here... will not refuse."

Chen Mingming was silent for a moment before whispering, "Thank you... for giving me this identity."

"You're welcome." Luo Qiu said softly, "It's just for the convenience of the assessment...Since it's an exam, there are naturally correct answers and methods. I just designed the questions, not unsolvable questions."

Chen Mingming raised his head, looked directly at the boss and said, "Zhao Le...maybe he wasn't the murderer?"

Luo Qiu smiled slightly.

Chen Mingming added: "But he may know who the murderer is... Otherwise, you wouldn't give me this kind of hint on the parchment. But this kind of hint can easily lead to my subconscious misjudgment. So this hint is a disturbance information, right?"

Luo Qiu said: "If the assessment is not difficult, it will naturally lose its original meaning... In fact, your progress is not bad."

Chen Mingming subconsciously frowned.

He didn't think there was anything special about reaching this kind of progress under the premise of having prompts—he felt that the progress the boss was referring to was something else.

There are two questions in this assessment, the first question is to help my father solve the case, and the second question is... progress, referring to the second question?

Chen Mingming breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly smiled wryly: "Sure enough, there are two completely unequal amounts of information. In the face of the huge information gap, let me face you, only a deep sense of powerlessness."

Luo Qiu couldn't deny it: "Indeed, I might not be smarter than anyone else."

Chen Mingming said: "This is probably the charm of intelligence... Leaving aside the information, if you and I are at the same level of intelligence, how would you judge this case?"

Luo Qiu started to mix drinks. He learned the 'Hongchen' mixing technique from the maid. "The invigilator will end badly."

Chen Mingming's eyes suddenly brightened and said: "This assessment does not seem to limit my ability to purchase information...I can choose to directly purchase information to help me complete the assessment, right?"

Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Are you planning to buy information?"

Chen Mingming shook his head, "You didn't say that cheating is not allowed, but you also didn't say that cheating is allowed... Invigilator, it's only natural to expel cheaters from the exam room."

The preparation of 'Hongchen' is almost finished, Boss Luo seems to be in good spirits, looking at the final product, slowly pouring it into the cup, appearing very focused.

At this time, Chen Mingming suddenly asked: "The question...is it really as simple as solving a case?"

Luo Qiu said: "What do you think?"

Chen Mingming shook his head, looked at the wine glass pushed by the boss in front of him, heaved a sigh of relief, and stood up: "I won't drink...Thank you for the hospitality."

"You're welcome."

Chen Mingming turned to leave while frowning deeply.

……

"Is there a guest here?" On the stairs, the voice of the maid came, "Chen Mingming?"

"You've been busy." Luo Qiu waved his hand,
The maid took a step forward, and the next step was in front of the bar counter, "It seems that he has encountered doubts?"

Luo Qiu didn't hide anything, he smiled and said, "He asked me what is the meaning behind the exam questions."

The maid also smiled, "How did the master answer him?"

Luo Qiu shook his head: "Suddenly something bad came up, so I didn't say anything."

You Ye said: "Solving the case is just looking for the truth, and finding the truth means that it will affect a person's fate and life... It's like taking other people's lives under their own control. Whether it's good or bad depends on your own will." .Manipulating life...a compulsory course for black soul messengers."

Boss Luo pushed 'Hong Chen' in front of the maid, and said softly, "Don't waste it, try my skills and see how much worse I am than you."

"Um……"
