Chapter 26 Contradictions

Probably because the noise was too loud, Miao Linzhi was twisted by two security officers in uniform, her arms were cut behind her back, and she kept struggling: "Do you know that I know your officer! Sue?" Don't you know? Believe it or not, I let him..."

At the moment when she met the expressionless Su Xian, she swallowed back the second half of the pretentious sentence, and gave him a flattering smile: "You, are you here? I didn't mean that... ...that's...who made them be so rude..."

"Let go of her." Su Xian's face was still frightening, but the orders he gave were unexpected, including Miao Linzhi himself.

The subordinate followed orders like a stream, and Miao Lingzhi immediately regained her freedom. While rubbing her sore arm, she looked at Su Xian timidly. The latter pointed to the sofa and motioned her to sit down: "I'll ask you to answer, don't say False." He turned around and nodded at someone casually: "You make a record."

Miao Linzhi huddled in a corner of the sofa with her arms and legs bound, nodded her head, and stared at him eagerly.

Su Xian began to ask: "Our people checked the body and confirmed that the person died for about three hours. Three hours ago, that is, around 04:30 this afternoon, where were you?"

Miao Linzhi's eyes dimmed, and she carelessly combed her temple hair: "I... am at home."

"Is this the room?"

"Correct."

"one person?"

Miao Linzhi blinked flusteredly, and didn't answer immediately. While she was hesitating, she fought openly and secretly with Xiang Yu's "poodle", who came all the way late, covered her nose as soon as she entered the door, and frowned slightly: " Why is there a strange smell in this room?"

Su Xian, a patient with severe rhinitis, has a poorer sense of smell than ordinary people, so he didn't notice it, but he trusted his subordinate's nose, and immediately became alert: "What smell?"

"Poodle" has a disgusted expression on his face: "It smells like undercooked meat."

Su Xian's face suddenly changed, he stared at Miao Linzhi closely, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Miao Lingzhi panicked: "I, I don't know..."

He raised his hand: "Search the whole house!"

The crowd took their orders away.

There was "Poodle", a talking police dog, and it didn't take long to find a piece of boiled tongue in the iron pan in the kitchen.

When the lid of the pot was lifted, an indescribable smell wafted out. In addition to the unique taste of meat, psychological factors also accounted for a large proportion-the shape of this piece of tongue was really suspicious, and it was definitely not a pork tongue anyway.

Those who lacked willpower were about to spit it out. Su Xian stared at the piece of meat that had turned into a sour-purple surface, with an ugly expression on his face: "Can you smell anything else?"

"It's a good thing it's not fully cooked, otherwise even I wouldn't be able to smell it." "Poodle" endured the nausea, picked up his tongue with a chopstick, poked it, and blood gushed out. She leaned over and took a sniff. The nose was quickly thrown back into the pot.

After suppressing the nausea, he quickly said, "It smells like the corpse upstairs."

Su Xian turned his head, looked at the dumbfounded Miao Linzhi, and asked in a deep voice, "What is this?"

It took a long time for Miao Linzhi to recover from her sluggishness. Her legs suddenly went limp, and she almost collapsed on the ground. It took two people to support her to barely maintain her standing posture, but her legs were still not moving for a moment. Trembling incessantly: "I, I really don't know... I don't know why this thing appears, here..."

"This is Fu Lan's tongue." Fu Lan is the fat aunt's real name, Su Xian sighed, "Her tongue was cut off, but now it appears in your kitchen... There are even traces of being boiled , you don’t think it’s all a coincidence, do you?”

The female security officer sneered: "I think this move is also to guard against me, hmph, it's really a little clever."

Miao Lingzhi collapsed completely, and she began to cry loudly: "I don't know! I really don't know! It's none of my business!"

Crying and crying, she suddenly threw away the two human crutches by surprise, and almost climbed to Su Xian's feet, hugging his leg like a drowning person hugging a piece of driftwood: "Su Xian! Su Xian, you have to save him!" Aunt Miao! Aunt Miao really didn’t kill anyone!”

Seeing her face full of tears, Su Xian was very miserable, he bent down and held her shoulder: "Calm down, our questioning is not over yet."

As he spoke, he turned his head and raised his chin at a subordinate: "Go get a glass of water."

After a long time, a glass of warm water was handed to Miao Lingzhi, and she finally sat down again, covering her eyes with her hands, as if unwilling to face Su Xian and the others.

"Drink some water." Su Xian persuaded gently, and after a while, Miao Linzhi finally stretched out a hand, took the glass of water tremblingly, accidentally spilled a little, and wet her skirt.

After she swallowed hard, she seemed to have calmed down a lot. She looked at Su Xian with a blank expression: "Ask whatever you want."

"When the crime happened, do you have any evidence of your alibi?" Su Xian repeated the previous question. Miao Linzhi was stunned for about ten seconds before she seemed to understand. She blinked, as if she had come to life. A little light: "Yes! I was talking to Lao Li downstairs at that time. He came to persuade me to apologize to Fu Lan. I didn't listen. I just wanted to send him away. I just said that I was going to pick up my daughter from school. My Then I glanced at the clock, here, it's the one hanging on the wall," she pointed her finger, and Su Xian looked over after school, there was indeed a wall clock ticking.

"At that time, it was exactly half past four, the time you mentioned!" Miao Lingzhi announced in ecstasy.

Su Xian frowned: "Then why didn't you say it before?"

Miao Linzhi pouted: "Old Li's wife, it's not like you don't know. If you let her know that Lao Li came to my house to talk to me, what kind of trouble might happen... So when Lao Li left, he specially ordered Me, let me keep it a secret, lest his wife find out and deal with him. But... I didn't think about it at first. "

Su Xian glanced at Xiang Yu, and the latter understood: "I'll go get that witness right away!"

He went out as soon as he said that, Miao Linzhi looked at his back expectantly, but Su Xian still looked businesslike: "Before the witness arrives, I still have some questions to ask you."

He took six photos from "Poodle" and arranged them one by one for Miao Linzhi to look at: "Do you know these people?"

When Miao Linzhi saw the first photo, her face changed slightly: "I know...he used to be my boyfriend."

Su Xian glanced at the middle-aged gangster in the photo: "Have you seen him recently?"

"No, I've been separated from him for a long time." She gritted her teeth and touched her arm reflexively, "This son of a bitch dares to hit me!"

Su Xian's heart skipped a beat: "A few months ago, you lost one of your left canine teeth. Is it because of him?"

"Yes, he knocked it out!" Miao Linzhi admitted angrily. She still remembered that Su Xian noticed that she suddenly lost a tooth and asked why. She felt ashamed, so she didn't tell him, just said I fell by myself.

Su Xian naturally also had an impression, but he didn't continue to dwell on this question, but continued to ask: "Then do you know how he is doing recently?"

"How would I know? I haven't been to the street where he is..." Miao Linzhi was muttering, but she suddenly realized that she was pointing at the photo and her hand was trembling, "Could it be that he also..."

"Don't you know about the disappearance case that has been making a lot of noise recently?" "Poodle" couldn't help interjecting, "He is the first missing person. No one has been found so far, and he probably disappeared."

Miao Lingzhi couldn't see much sadness on her face, but she was more shocked. She stammered and asked, "Then why do you ask me...it has nothing to do with me..."

Su Xian didn't answer this question, but pointed to the remaining photos: "You have to see all the photos of the missing people first."

Miao Linzhi quickly went through the other five sheets, her face was quite ashen, she unconsciously bit her pale lips, not even noticing the blood oozing out.

Su Xian took her reaction into his eyes and knew that Xiang Yu's speculation was almost verified. He tapped the edge of the chair lightly with his fingers and asked her, "You know these people, right?"

Miao Linzhi's emotions exploded all of a sudden, and her teeth were stained with blood, which was terrifying: "Someone is framing me! Listen to me, Magistrate Su, whether it's Fu Lan or these people, I'm with them." There is no deep hatred, why should I kill them?!"

"If someone really framed you like this, it must be because you have a deep hatred with someone." Su Xian sighed, "But right now you are indeed the biggest suspect."

Miao Linzhi suddenly got up and shouted manically: "Do you have evidence?"

Just in time to hear this when the "poodle" who had thoroughly checked her bedroom, she sneered, pinched her nose and sprayed a bottle of rough-packed perfume twice: "Boss, smell it, this is a case of multiple cases." The smell left by the scene was found in her room."

Miao Linzhi sneered: "What kind of evidence is this? I'm not the only one who uses this perfume!"

Su Xian suddenly reached out to grab her wrist. She subconsciously wanted to pull it out, but she couldn't get rid of it no matter what. She could only let Su Xian roll up her sleeve.

The festering erythema on her arm was barely visible.

And the two sheriffs who touched her with their hands almost collapsed, and they couldn't help taking a few steps back. If it wasn't for Su Xian's presence, they would probably have fled straight away.

"Poodle" hates corpses and is afraid of alien species like walking corpses, but she is not afraid of the early "pathological patients". She despises the timid behavior of the two young people: "What is it? The one who didn't touch the wound Pus is not contagious."

Su Xian clasped Miao Linzhi's wrist without any scruples like this, and asked in a cold voice, "Did you know that the person who killed the flower shop owner had red spots like this on his hands?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Miao Linzhi, but even "Poodle" was taken aback: "Boss, how did you know?"

"It was found out by special means." Su Xian summed it up in one word, and dismissed the topic lightly, "If it's a coincidence, then there are too many coincidences, right?"

Miao Lingzhi's already very fragile nerves were almost vulnerable to a single blow, and she really didn't know what else to say besides Mrs. Xianglin's repeated "it's none of my business".

"Do you have supernatural powers?" She was in despair, when she heard Su Xian ask again, she looked at him inexplicably: "Do you not know if I have supernatural powers? Besides, if I have , can it be mixed into the current miserable situation?"

But the "poodle" heard a little overtones, she approached Su Xian, and said softly: "Do you suspect that the supernatural person did it?"

"At least there are supernatural beings involved." Su Xian's tone was very firm, "Poodle" wanted to ask something more, Xiang Yu led the people back.

Lao Li is the savior for Miao Linzhi at this moment, she breathed a sigh of relief, but was stopped by Su Xian when she wanted to rush over, she didn't care, and looked at him expectantly: "Old Li! Tell them quickly, at 04:30 this afternoon, are you trying to persuade me to apologize to Fu Lan in this hall?"

Lao Li looked at her, his cloudy eyeballs moved, and under her eager gaze, he shook his head: "No. I didn't go out from four to five o'clock, and my wife and I were at home. Get ready to cook."

His denial was like a blow to the head. Miao Lingzhi was dizzy, she couldn't stand still, she fell down on the sofa, and muttered incoherently: "Old Li, you...you are talking nonsense... You obviously came to me at that time of……"

She seemed to understand something, and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Is it because your crazy woman won't let you testify for me! Isn't it!"

Lao Li avoided her furious eyes, hunched his back, and said nothing.

Su Xian also frowned: This Uncle Li, who came to intercede with them not long ago, tried to defend Miao Lingzhi's innocence, but now he categorically denies it... There is a bit of a contradiction.

He took a deep breath: "Uncle Li, let me ask you again, have you ever had contact with Ms. Miao around [-]:[-] this afternoon?"

Old Li drooped his eyelids, and his two protruding eyes looked like two dry walnuts. His lips moved: "No. I was at home at that time, and my wife can testify."

Su Xian wanted to sigh when he heard that, is there even a need to ask?This old Li is really afraid of his wife to the bone, even if he may be lying, but the other party just refuses to admit it, and he can't do anything about him for a while.

"Uncle Li, it's illegal to give false testimony." He finally warned, but the other party was still like a clay sculpture, with his head bowed in a daze, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

His position was there, and he could only stop there. In desperation, he had to wave his hand and send him away: "Okay, it's none of your business, go back."

The moment Lao Li stepped out of the threshold, Miao Linzhi suddenly roared like crazy: "Li Zhijun! You are fucking trying to kill me!"

Lao Li's feet stopped, and his figure became a little bit bent again. After a while, he staggered away.

Su Xian turned his face sideways and stared at Miao Linzhi: "Now you have no witnesses."
