In the streets of the 90s of the last century, yellowed pictorials and notices were pasted everywhere. The shops on both sides of the street were feasting and feasting at night, shining with an inexplicable Hong Kong style.

It was 07:30 in the evening. With the music of the news broadcast on the old-fashioned TV, the little girl with two playful shofar braids came home from school.

When she passed by the door of the game hall where the songs of the Little Tigers were playing, she paused, stopped and stood for a while, looking in through the glass, not knowing who she was looking for.

After looking for a while, she didn't seem to find the person she was looking for. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking towards home with her schoolbag on her back, bypassing the puddles, but her footsteps were not as excited as going home from school.

Bicycle bells rang one after another in the street, and a nearby factory was off work. After 10 minutes of noise, the street returned to tranquility, and it was completely dark.

The street lamps illuminated the entire street, and the little girl returned home.

As the director of the street office, Xie Tanxi rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as he received the report.

There was only the little girl with shofar braids crying beside a dead body, but because she was not an actress, she still looked very fake. As a detective, Xie Tanxi shouldn't have laughed when he saw the dead, but he couldn't bear it. Can't live.

"Let me tell you, Miss, can you pretend to be a little more unremarkable?" Xie Tanxi complained helplessly.

Wei Yi broke through in a second: "I can't help it." After that, she regained her senses and shook the paper in her hand: "Director! Detective! My mother died, she hanged herself, and left a suicide note .”

Xie Tanxi said calmly, "Yes, I saw it."

Wei Yi cried with a mournful face: "What should I do!"

Xie Tanxi stared at the NPC for a while, touched his chin, and said, "But based on my years of experience in handling cases, I don't think your mother committed suicide, so the real culprit may be someone else. In this way, Go and see if there are any suspicious people nearby, call me over, and I will definitely seek justice for your mother."

Xie Tanxi has never drawn a detective in this season's character card draw. The last time he drew a character card, he had no hope. In the end, he was addicted to it in the last episode. Expect.

He knelt down to examine the corpse. There were purple strangle marks on the NPC's neck, which should have been caused by suffocation. It was a silk scarf, which didn't quite match the message the corpse gave him.

Wei Yi quickly called someone over. The woman was wearing a white shirt and a long black skirt, with a light blue headband on her black shawl and long hair. She was intellectually elegant, gentle and kind.

"Detective." Wei Yi called him, "This is my teacher, Teacher Rong."

Rong Xier nodded to him, looked at the corpse and sighed silently, then stretched out his arms to embrace Wei Yi: "My condolences."

While talking, the car bells jingled from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of the house. A man with a big back, a patterned shirt, and black trousers came down from above.

"Miss Zhen! I'm here to collect the rent. Hurry up, today's deadline!" Xing Xiuyi shouted as he walked in. When he saw the dead body of three people in the room, he was stunned for a long time, pointing to Zhen who was lying on the ground. The woman said: "What's the matter, dead?"

It was the first time for Xie Tanxi to see him dressed like this. He looked at him curiously for a long time, and then nodded sadly when he had seen enough. Before he had time to ask who was coming, he took several steps back and went out. He wanted to leave when he got into the car. , Muttering, I really don't want to dislike it: "It's too bad luck, I'm leaving, why can people still die in my house? The house price is going to fall..."

Xie Tanxi hurried out and grabbed the front of his car to prevent him from leaving: "A murder has happened here, you can't leave, you are also a suspect."

"Dear Wei Xuexue, I'm here to play with you." Zeng Chao appeared at the door, wearing a denim vest, looking very youthful.

Wei Yi went out and said to him: "My mother is dead, I can't go out with you to play."

Zeng Chao was shocked, and when he came in and saw the corpse, he hugged Wei Yi in his arms: "Don't be afraid, she won't be able to bully you in the future."

Bullying... This matter can be big or small, but Zeng Chao's words successfully attracted the attention of several people.

Xie Tanxi asked, "What do you mean by that? Mrs. Zhen didn't treat Wei well?"

Zeng Chao was taken aback for a moment, and didn't speak any more.

The last person who came over was a man whose clothes were very different from those of the people here. He was wearing a three-piece suit and his hair was well-groomed. He looked like a business elite, but he was just a little older.

The people here are not familiar with him, so Xie Tanxi, as a detective, asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Huang Yingjian was very elegant: "I'm here to find someone. Is Mrs. Zhen here?"

Rong Xier was startled: "You, you are..."

Wei Yi looked at him with a suspicious expression on his face, he hesitated to speak for a while, and finally just pointed to the dead man on the ground: "Here, here it is."

Huang Yingjian's expression changed.

"It's nine o'clock in the evening on January 1999, 45. I received a report from Wei Xuexue that his mother had hanged herself at home. The deceased, Mrs. Zhen, Wei Xuexue's mother, was also a resident of Get Your Wish Street, [-] Aged. After my investigation of the scene, I preliminarily concluded that the deceased died of mechanical suffocation caused by a string choking the throat. The first scene was disguised as suicide by the murderer. It will be suicide, if it is homicide, then the murderer is among the five of you."

"Wei Xuexue, 17 years old, the deceased's daughter, is a sophomore in high school."

"Huang Chuangye, 54 years old, his origin is unknown, and he is not a resident of the Street of Obtaining Wishes."

"Zeng Gaming, 18 years old, a resident of Wishing Street, has dropped out of school."

"Ms. Rong, 27 years old, Wei Xue's physics teacher."

"Landlord Xing, 32 years old, the landlord of Wei Xuexue and Mrs. Zhen."

Xie Tanxi organized several people to go outside, set up a few bamboo chairs on the street, and claimed his alibi here.

"Well, I am the director of the street office of this gai, which means that all the trivial matters in this street are under my control. I am quite familiar with some of you, mainly because this person will definitely become a famous director in the future Sir, I'm not very familiar with you, do you know anyone here? Why don't we start with you?"

Huang Yingjian understood etiquette very well. After sitting down, he unbuttoned his suit: "I am Huang Chuangye. As you can see, I am a successful man with a successful career. I have some relationship with this...gai. I have some connections with people here. , can also be known."

"Can we know each other too?" Xie Tanxi thought this expression was strange, but he didn't ask any further questions, and just wrote it down: "Then next, Wei."

"I'm Wei Xuexue. You can tell by my name. I only study in my life. I'm a top student. I'm a sophomore in high school this year." Wei Yi said.

"There is really no sense of disobedience at all. We really believe you when you say you are 17 years old." Zeng Chao praised.

Wei Yi smiled at him.

"Continue." Xie Tan's teeth were sour, and he raised his chin towards Xing Xiuyi: "This... the gentleman who is so gorgeous that he can't wait to wear all the colors on his body, may I ask who you are?"

Xing Xiuyi put one hand on the back of the chair, his legs were wide open, and his sitting posture was quite bold and uninhibited: "If you are in charge of this property, then this property is mine, I am the landlord, and everything here Shops and houses belong to my family.”

"Oh..." Xie Tanxi dragged out his tone: "Looking at your appearance, you really look a little bit like a nouveau riche."

Xing Xiuyi glanced at him, snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Zeng." Xie Tanxi found it funny, turned to Zeng Chao and said, "It's your turn."

"I'm Zeng Youyou." Zeng Chao flicked his tongue, and said, "I'm not a good boy, but I don't smoke, drink or burn my head, and I can concentrate on protecting my little fairy." Zeng Chao pointed to Wei Yi: "This is my pretty little fairy."

Wei Yi pointed to himself cooperatively, his embarrassment was beyond words.

Xie Tanxi curled his lips sourly: "It's great to have a partner."

"Finally, Teacher Rong."

"I'm Teacher Rong. I'm a resident of Xinxiangshicheng Street next door to Get Your Wishes Done. I'm also Wei Xuexue's physics teacher. I've been teaching her since the first year of high school."

After Xie Tanxi finished memorizing it seriously, he looked at Huang Yingjian again: "Tell me about the timeline, Director Huang."

Huang Yingjian asked in surprise: "Who is Director Huang? My name is Huang Chuangye."

Xie Tanxi suppressed a smile: "Hey, okay, Mr. Huang Chuangye, please."

"I'm actually not from this street now. I just came here this morning. I came here to study with Mrs. Zhen and Wei. But I didn't see anyone when they went to work or school in the morning, so I kept on going. They lived in the guest house over there. It was [-]:[-] this afternoon. I figured that Wei Xuexue would be out of school, so I went out to look for them. At that time, Mrs. Zhen was not there, and there was only Wei Xuexue and Teacher Rong at home. I saw someone else was there and left. Yes, I know that Mrs. Zhen will get off work at nine o'clock, so I came here just now, but I didn't expect to see a dead body directly." Huang Yingjian said.

"Teacher Rong is here?" Xie Tanxi wondered.

Both Wei Yi and Rong Xier nodded, and Wei Yi said, "The teacher is helping me with physics."

The corner of Xie Tanxi's mouth twitched: "You Xueba are really incomprehensible." He said: "Then next Xueba, tell me."

"I finished school at 07:30 as usual today, and I got home at 5:[-]. Teacher Rong came five minutes later. She helps me with physics every day." I left at ten, because my mother would come home after work at nine o'clock, but my mother came back very early today for some reason. She came back at eight o'clock. After scolding for a while, I couldn't get angry, so I went out."

"What time did you leave?" Xie Tanxi asked.

"08:30." Wei Yi said.

"Your mother scolded you for half an hour before you couldn't bear to go out?" Xie Tanxi examined.

Wei Yi hesitated to speak, but finally did not say: "Then I came back at 55:[-] and saw that my mother had hanged herself with a suicide note in her hand, so I called you."

"Then where have you been?" Xie Tanxi asked again.

Zeng Chao interjected: "Of course I'm unhappy because I'm looking for a boyfriend. I'm single, don't you understand?"

Xie Tanxi snorted arrogantly, ignoring him: "Next, Landlord Xing, it's your turn."

"Because the situation of this Mrs. Zhen's family is actually not very good. They often default on my rent. I usually think that they are a mother and daughter. month, I can only follow behind to urge, I told them before that today is the deadline, and I also know that Ms. Zhen usually comes home from work at nine o'clock, so I came to ask for rent at that time."

"Haven't you seen the deceased during the day?" Xie Tanxi asked.

Xing Xiuyi shook his head: "No, I'm very busy, and there are more than a hundred households to collect rent every day."

Xie Tanxi clicked his tongue twice: "I used to play games."

"I've dropped out of school, so I'm working part-time now. I work part-time at the bookstore on the street, and I don't get off work until seven o'clock today."

"Your name is Zeng Youyou, but you work part-time in a bookstore? Isn't the persona right?" Xing Xiuyi couldn't figure it out.

"I just love playing games, so I just go to the game hall to play every day. Why do I have to work there?"

"After work at seven o'clock, I went to eat. I ate the bun wonton next door to the bookstore." Zeng Chao said, "Then I went home to take a shower and wash my clothes, and waited until 10:08. 30 minutes, but before I went to find her today, she came by herself at [-]:[-] and told me that her mother scolded her, so I stayed with her for a while."

Huang Yingjian suddenly said: "So you don't have time to commit the crime? His mother was still alive when Wei Xuexue came out, and you stayed with her all the time. Her mother was already dead when she returned."

Wei Yidao: "I came home at 55:45, but I left Zeng You's place at 10:[-], and I stayed by myself for those [-] minutes to relax."

Xie Tanxi wrote it down in his notebook: "Then at the end, Mr. Rong will say it."

"I arrived at Wei Xue's home at 45:08 today, and I helped her with her homework as usual, but Mrs. Zhen came back very early today, and we were discovered. Mrs. Zhen didn't like me very much and kicked me out. I was very worried about Wei Xuexue, so I didn’t dare to go far. I stayed in the phone booth next to the coffee shop across the street. At 30:45, I saw Wei Xuexue go out crying. I knew she was looking for Zeng Youyou, so I didn’t follow her. But I want to make this matter clear to Mrs. Zhen. After all, about Wei Xuexue, I called Mrs. Zhen in the phone booth to ask her out, but she didn't answer the phone, so I left and walked to us. My wish came true, so I turned back and went to Ms. Zhen’s house at [-]:[-] a.m., and I saw Ms. Zhen dead, and I was terrified, so I left.”

"It's almost home, why did you suddenly turn back?" Xie Tanxi asked.

"Because there was a bit of misunderstanding between Mrs. Zhen and I. I want to solve this matter, so that she won't blame her child for me in the future. I want to make it clear to her."
