Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

Zhang Tianmu entered the yard and said, just stay outside to cool down.

"Better come inside. I'll get you some tea."

Zhang Tianmu walked through the yard. The yard was very clean and planted with flowers and plants.

All women's clothes were drying on the clothes pole. Although the clothes were of no brand, it could be seen that Liu Yun had some taste. She dresses differently from other women in the village.

After entering the house, the two sat on the sofa. Liu Yun made some tea and took out a cigarette to smoke.

Zhang Tianmu exchanged some pleasantries and said, "Do you live alone in this house?"

"No, I live with my husband and he is out of town."

"You haven't been back for a long time, haven't you?"

Only women's clothes were drying in the yard.

Liu Yun sighed, as if she was touched by something sad, "Can I not talk about this anymore?"

"Sorry. Let's get back to the case." Zhang Tianmu said, "Do you mind if I record it?"

"of course."

Zhang Tianmu took out his cell phone and pressed the recorder, "I beg you to tell me everything about that night in detail."

"That night, I got up to go to the bathroom."

"Go to the bathroom after four o'clock?"

"It's normal." Liu Yun spoke directly.

"Yes." Zhang Tianmu apologized sheepishly, "What happened next?"

"I saw a fire in Chen Daqing's house. The fire came from the second floor. The fire seemed to be blue. As soon as I saw it, I screamed, it's not good, it's on fire."

"and after?"

"The villagers next door heard my shout and turned on the lights, and everyone rushed out to put out the fire."

"Who came out first?"

"Ah?" Liu Yun was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, which villager came out to put out the fire first?"

"This. Let me think about it." Liu Yun recalled and thought for a while, "I really didn't pay attention, but I saw that Lao Ma was there, and... and Xu Kun was also there." She mentioned the two people. name.

"Then?"

"Everyone was putting out the fire, and the fire was quickly put out. Then a bunch of people banged hard against the wooden door of Chen Daqing's house. It was finally pushed open, and a bunch of people rushed in."

"Did you go in too?"

"Of course I went in."

"Are not you afraid?"

"The fire has been put out, what is there to be afraid of? Everyone was on the first floor, calling Chen Daqing's name, but no one responded. Someone said, maybe Chen Daqing is on the second floor, and then someone went up and saw Until Chen Daqing died on the bed."

After Liu Yun finished speaking, she picked up the cigarette and took another puff. The long ash fell down and touched her hand. She patted it.

"I have no more questions, thank you."

Zhang Tianmu stood up, and Liu Yun also stood up. Tianmu said, "It doesn't matter. Don't send me off. You can go and do your work."

"Oh." Liu Yun sat on the sofa again, took another cigarette, and puffed away quietly.

After leaving, Zhang Tianmu thought to himself that Liu Yun should be a woman with a story, and her husband probably had someone outside and hadn't come back for a long time.

It is not easy for a woman who is frustrated in love to guard this home desperately and take care of it clearly. It is not easy to wait for her husband who does not return.

It seems that nothing has been gained. What Liu Yun explained is similar to what he said before, and there has been no progress in this case.

But investigation is what it is.

Zhang Tianmu recalled a major case he had handled. At that time, he interviewed dozens of people and produced hundreds of thousands of words in transcripts. In the end, only a few words were useful.

.

Zhang Tianmu walked around the village for two hours and asked some people to question.

Still making no progress, it was getting dusk and he left the village.

There is a pavilion in front of the village gate, where several women are discussing:

"I heard that Chen Xiaosong is missing."

"Hey, the younger brother killed the older brother."

"No way?"

"Why is it impossible?" A woman whispered, "Let me tell you, this matter may have something to do with Liu Yun."

"Ah, why?"

"I saw Liu Yun and Chen Xiaosong walking very close."

One person was talking, and several women came together to savor the gossip.

Zhang Tianmu did not hear the conversation between these women. He was about to pick up the car and drive away when he suddenly stopped and found a middle-aged man beside the pavilion taking pictures of the scenery with his mobile phone.

Zhang Tianmu looked at the man for a while, then walked closer and saw a scar on the man's face...

It's really him!

Zhang Tianmu was very excited. He walked over and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, "Are you Xu Wenshan?"

Xu Wenshan was outside this village, taking pictures of the sunset - the sunset was infinitely beautiful, but it was almost dusk, and he was still thinking about posting a message on Moments.

Xu Wenshan didn’t know Zhang Tianmu and was confused, “Do you know me?”

"Detective Scar! You are so famous in our police force."

Speaking of Xu Wenshan, he is considered a star in the police force. He has handled countless mysterious cases. His photos have long been circulated to various police stations. Many of the cases he handled are regarded as "textbook" reference cases. .

Zhang Tianmu said, Detective Xu, you are my idol. When I was in college in the police force, many classmates would ask for your photo during exams.

Xu Wenshan felt embarrassed for a while, this was not appropriate.

Zhang Tianmu was very excited and said, Detective Xu, since you are here, let's go, I will treat you to dinner.

He insisted on pulling Xu Wenshan into the car and wanted to invite him to have dinner at the foot of the mountain.

Xu Wenshan thought that he couldn't refuse it, and he was hungry, so he said, OK, I'm not used to eating good food, so I'll just eat some of your special snacks.

no problem.

.

After driving for almost an hour, Zhang Tianmu found a boiled live fish restaurant and ordered four kilograms of fish, as well as dry pot sausage and sizzling beef. The tastes of men were similar.

The two sat down to eat.

When Zhang Tianmu talked about the case he was investigating, Xu Wenshan waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me, I'm already planning to resign."

"Resignation?"

"Yes, I have been investigating cases for more than [-] years. Now I get a headache when I hear about the case."

"That's it." Zhang Tianmu looked regretful, "I still want to ask you for advice. There are many details about this case that I can't figure out."

Originally, Xu Wenshan didn't want to say much, but seeing Zhang Tianmu like this, he thought that he would also treat him to a meal.

never mind! Take care of it again.

Xu Wenshan said, "Actually, you can check Liu Yun more."

"Liu Yun? How do you know this woman? I haven't said anything about this case yet." Zhang Tianmu looked surprised.

Xu Wenshan smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to tell me. A bunch of gossip detectives have explained this case in detail."

The "gossip" detectives Xu Wenshan mentioned were the women in the village pavilion. In the past few days after the case occurred, the women in the village had been talking about it, saying something about this and something about that.

Xu Wenshan happened to live in the Hermitage Village, so he took pictures near the village when he had nothing to do. His sharp ears and instinct for investigating crimes allowed him to capture all kinds of sounds.

So he knew very well how this case happened, who the suspect was, and what relationship the suspect had with whom.

"Why do you doubt Liu Yun?" Zhang Tianmu asked.

"As I recall, she was the first one to notice the fire."

"Just because of this?"

"Yes, because of this."

At this time, the steaming fish was served. Zhang Tianmu was still waiting for Xu Wenshan to reason, but Xu Wenshan stopped there. He said, "Tian Mu, you have the ability to investigate cases. You can definitely figure out why. Come on, don't say anything. Yes, let’s eat fish.”
