Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

But inferences are just inferences.

Based on the figure of the woman wearing a mask in the video, even two identical watches cannot convict Li Yuerong.

Xu Wenshan has already asked people to check the flight records from the United States on the day of the incident.

This is not direct evidence. Even if it is confirmed that Li Yuerong really flew back, it cannot be said that she is the murderer.

But this can become supporting evidence, and more supporting evidence is needed.

The best thing is DNA. If the DNA results can prove that Hu Dongdong and Hu Pengsheng are not biological father and son, then the suspicion of Li Yuerong and even Hu Dongdong will increase.

In any case, this is an important investigation direction of the case now.

.

At dusk, Xu Wenshan drove to another city adjacent to K City, Y City.

A huge colorful tent was set up at the entrance of a park. Starlight Circus was performing in Y City today.

There was a man in a clown suit selling tickets at the door. "Our circus has a history of 30 years. It features tigers walking through fire rings and double acrobatics in the air. It's wonderful. A ticket is 30 yuan. Adults can bring one child."

But the sales were not good. A woman with two children bargained for the price, "20 yuan, can you see it? If you can't see it, I'll leave."

The clown raised his head helplessly and looked at the middle-aged man smoking not far away.

Lao Tu, the owner of Starlight Circus. Lao Tu nodded to the clown, meaning, 20 yuan, just 20 yuan.

The scenery has long gone, and there were long lines of guests waiting to see the novel acrobatic performances.

With the popularization of televisions and computers, no matter how exciting it is, you can see it on the screen. Who would spend the money? In 2000, few people watched circus performances.

Lao Tu sighed.

At this time Xu Wenshan came over and asked, "Are you the person in charge of Starlight Circus?"

"who are you?"

Xu Wenshan took out his ID and asked, "Do you know Li Yuerong?"

According to information provided by a villager in Qinjiang Village who is familiar with Li Yuerong, Li Yuerong worked at the Starlight Circus before marrying Hu Pengsheng.

"Who is Li Yuerong?" Lao Tu thought for a while but had no impression.

Xu Wenshan took out Li Yuerong's photo, and after looking at it, he said, "You're talking about her, Xiaoyue."

The old picture said: Xiaoyue spent several years in the circus, and she performed an aerial pas de deux.

However, people who work in this industry usually don't say their real names. Everyone calls her Xiaoyue Xiaoyue.

.

At this time the circus performance begins.

When Lao Tu wanted to go in, Xu Wenshan bought a ticket and also entered the tent.

The two of them were sitting in the stands, with only a few guests.

Xu Wenshan took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from his pocket and watched the performance on the stage.

The opening scene featured some animal acrobatics, with monkeys wearing human clothes and walking funny, a few parrots imitating human speech, and an old tiger with a fat belly being held by a human.

The clown holds six balls and tosses them in his hands.

Several guests in the audience cheered, "Jump through the fire hoop, jump through the fire hoop."

The actors and animals looked at the dozens of spectators in the audience, losing money to perform, and they couldn't cheer up.

"Can you tell me about Xiaoyue?" Xu Wenshan asked.

"What do you want to know?"

"Anything, as long as you can think of something related to her."

Old picture memories:

This girl Xiaoyue is quite pitiful. She has been learning acrobatics since she was a child and suffered a lot. Her father was a gambler and regarded her as a cash cow.

All the money Xiaoyue earned was given to her father. And in the end, I heard that it was her father who lost Xiaoyue at the gambling table.

After losing thousands of dollars to a gambler, the gambler had a son, so the father sold Xiaoyue to the gambler as his daughter-in-law.

After hearing this, Xu Wenshan understood why Li Yuerong married Hu Pengsheng.

It was because Li Yuerong's father lost his daughter to Hu Pengsheng's father at the gambling table.

What a jerk.

"and after?"

"Then she left. When she left, she said goodbye to Haisheng. The two of them burst into tears."

"Who is Haisheng?"

The old picture said: Haisheng was also a member of the circus back then. Haisheng and Xiaoyue were dancers performing aerial pas de deux. They worked together tacitly and were also lovers in private.

But Xiaoyue had to get married, and Haisheng was also poor. He had no choice but to watch his lover leave.

After Xiaoyue left, Haisheng stayed at the circus for two months and then left.

.

At this time, on the circus stage, two dancers, a man and a woman, performed a pas de deux on two hanging swings.

The female dancer flew out, but the male dancer failed to catch it.

The female dancer fell, but luckily there was a protective net underneath that caught her.

There were boos from the audience.

Lao Tu looked at this scene, recalling Xiaoyue and Haisheng's exquisite pas de deux back then, and sighed again. It's not like it was back then, everything is not like it was back then.

Xu Wenshan thought:

Haisheng must also be a "stage name". The old figure in the circus does not know Haisheng's real name. I can't find this person now.

Xu Wenshan asked, "Boss Tu, do you have any photos of Li Yuerong and Haisheng's performances back then? I'd like to see them."

The old picture said, yes.

He and Xu Wenshan went to the backstage of the circus and took a photo album from a box.

The album contains photos of circus performances in various places over the past 30 years.

Opening a photo of a performance in 1979, the old figure pointed to the dancers wearing bright clothes in the photo, and a young man and woman said: This is Xiaoyue and this is Haisheng.

When he saw Haisheng's photo, Xu Wenshan's heart was beating loudly.

He stared at this photo, Haisheng, with delicate features and a high nose.

Hai Sheng looks a lot like a person, yes, a bit.

Xu Wenshan thought about the appearance of Hu Dongdong when he saw him this morning. Hu Dongdong and Hai Chang looked very similar.

Are they the real father and son?

If so, then this case will develop in another strange direction——

Could Hai Sheng be related to this case?

Could it be that he and Li Yuerong conspired to kill Hu Pengsheng?

The above inference seems bold and a bit blunt, but it can connect everything together.

21 years ago, Li Yuerong had no choice but to marry Hu Pengsheng.

21 years ago, Hai Sheng left the circus sadly.

Then he searched all the way and found Li Yuerong, and rekindled his old relationship with her.

20 years ago, Li Yuerong was pregnant and gave birth to Hu Dongdong. She did not know who the father of the child was at that time.

Eight years later, Hu Pengsheng accidentally discovered that Hu Dongdong was not his biological son.

For the sake of face, she tolerated it externally, but at home she continued to beat Li Yuerong and Hu Dongdong to vent their anger, and even called Hu Dongdong a beast.

Later, the two divorced, and Li Yuerong took Hu Dongdong to the United States.

Haisheng may stay in K City to develop. Recently, Li Yuerong learned that Hu Pengsheng was terminally ill and that he would not leave any money to her and Hu Dongdong from his inheritance.

In this case, did Li Yuerong seek help from Haisheng and jointly commit the murder?

Xu Wenshan and Lao Tu asked for the photo.

He took the photos back to the police station, found a computer expert, and used software to search to see if he could find Hai Sheng.
