demons lurk beside you

The three of them were driving to Chen Huawei's villa.

Yang Cong sat in the back seat of the car and thought for a while, then said, "Sister Lin, even if the murderer has returned to Chen Huawei's villa, I don't think anyone will know about it. Since he can hide it from the police, he will naturally It can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the residents, so even if we find the residents to ask, they may not know."

Lin Xin nodded and said, "Yes, they may not know, this is what we are going to investigate. But, Yang Cong, have you ever thought about it? Is it possible that the suspicious person appeared before Chen Huawei was killed? Maybe Chen Huawei didn't know it himself, but was discovered by the sharp-eyed residents. Do you remember what Ye Cheng said? Chen Huawei has the habit of bringing her lover home, so there will always be some strange things in her villa. So, I was wondering if Chen Huawei had interviewed other people besides her husband during his vacation? If there was such a thing, the residents might know, after all, the community is not big, at most There are more than a dozen families, so whoever has been to her villa, they may have an impression."

After a pause, Lin Xin continued: "However, these are our current guesses. It is also possible that Wu Dongfeng is directing and acting on his own. Maybe he never left the villa at all. In order to cover up the crime, he deliberately said that he and Chen Hua Wei quarreled and even ran away from home."

Yang Cong interjected: "However, Wu Dongfeng has a perfect alibi. The monitoring can't be fake."

Mei Hua also asked: "If the monitoring can be faked, can he also buy the witness?"

Lin Xin sighed, and said, "Wu Dongfeng can buy the witness, but I feel that the monitoring is still accurate, so I just have doubts about him, and I don't think he is the culprit who killed Chen Huawei. Up to now, I always feel that the tape and recorder are very strange, and I can't figure out what is wrong. Wu Dongfeng said that Chen Huawei would not let himself touch these two things, and it doesn't seem like a lie. After all, the other tapes What did you record?" Lin Xin frowned and said.

In fact, the disappearance of tapes and tape recorders made Lin Xin and others very distressed.Why did the murderer take nothing but these two most valuable things?

What secret is hidden behind the tape?

What else is there that they can't figure out?

After a long time, the police car in which the three people were riding returned to the community where Chen Huawei lived.They parked the car in front of the house closest to Chen Huawei's villa.

When they looked over from the car, they saw that the door of the living room was locked from a distance, as if there was no one there, but there was a car parked in the courtyard of the villa.

Lin Xin and the others got out of the car, and they approached the door of this family. They saw that there were many flowers and plants in the courtyard, and they were beautifully decorated by the gardener.

Since this family is only a hundred meters away from Chen Huawei's villa, if there is any movement in her house, they may hear it.

At this moment, the gardener who was watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard noticed three strangers coming outside the door, and after he glanced at the police car they were driving, he immediately stopped his movements.

He quietly put down the utensils, and when he was about to leave to another corner, Lin Xin saw him.

She immediately called out to the gardener, "Brother, we are sent by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We want to find out something about the case of Chen Huawei's murder from the owner of your house."

Seeing that Lin Xin had discovered him, the gardener walked slowly to the iron gate, and when he looked down at the police officer's ID card hanging on her chest, he immediately waved his hands and said, "No, we don't know anything, please Let's go back."

There was a hint of panic on the gardener's face.

When Lin Xin saw his appearance, she knew that he was lying, so she changed her expression and said, "Please don't interfere with the police's official duties, just report to your master, and we will ask some simple questions. question." There was seriousness in his tone.

After the murder of Chen Huawei, the residents of the community paid close attention to the murder, including this family.The master strictly told his servants not to have any contact with the police, not even to speak too much, in order to prevent them from suspecting him and causing unnecessary troubles.

Therefore, when the gardener found out that Lin Xin and the others were sent by the bureau, he showed a little panic.

When the gardener looked at her sharp eyes, he finally didn't dare to refuse. He lowered his head and said, "Officer, just wait a moment, I'll go in and talk to the master."

Lin Xin nodded, and saw him turn around, hurried to the door of the living room, opened the door, and then disappeared behind the door.

After a few minutes, Lin Xin and the others noticed that the iron gate in front of them was slowly opened, and the three of them stepped in, walked through the courtyard of the villa, and took off their shoes when they reached the entrance of the living room. into the house.

When they stepped into the living room, they saw a woman in tight clothes sitting on the sofa with an impatient look on her face.

She thought that the arrival of the police had disturbed her, so she was unhappy.

The woman glanced at the three people who came in, and said casually, "Sit down wherever you want, what do you want to know from me?"

Lin Xin wasn't polite to her either, she just sat down on the sofa opposite her and said, "As your gardener told you, we came here to learn something about Chen Huawei's case. What we want to know is whether outsiders often come and go in Chen Huawei's house?"

When the woman heard Chen Huawei's name, she rolled her eyes and said, "That's her? She's a slut. The men who have been in and out of her house are all different men. I don't know what charm she has. To be able to hook up with so many people.”

Lin Xin nodded and asked, "Then... so many people come and go in and out of her house, but her husband Wu Dongfeng doesn't care about anything?"

The woman snorted and said, "How could it be ignored? But, is it useful for Wu Dongfeng to manage? He is also a man who is not doing his job properly. Let Chen Huawei take care of him. These two, tsk tsk tsk, one cheap and the other lazy, they are a perfect match."

When the woman talked about the couple Chen Huawei and Wu Dongfeng, she couldn't help but burst out a lot of curse words, and her tone was full of disdain.

Lin Xin asked, "So, do they often quarrel?"

The woman said: "They not only quarrel often, they quarrel every day. As long as Chen Huawei and Wu Dongfeng are both at home, you can definitely hear their quarrel. Sometimes they say a lot of vicious words, sometimes Sometimes I heard the sound of throwing things, it was really disturbing my dream!"

After speaking, there was anger in his tone.

Lin Xin smiled slightly, and asked again: "So, when was the last time they quarreled?"

The woman tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "It should be the period when her vocal cords were just damaged. At that time, the gardener told me that he heard Chen Huawei's hoarse cry, which sounded very harsh. Haha, if she If she can still speak, that means her vocal cords haven't been damaged too badly."

When women say this, some gloat.

Lin Xin said: "Can you be more specific? When and when was the last time they quarreled?"

The woman looked up at Lin Xin, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It should have been last Tuesday. They had a quarrel around noon. After the quarrel broke out, the gardener said that he saw Wu Dongfeng coming out of the villa. I ran out in a hurry, I don't know where I went, I heard that I never came back!"

After hearing what the woman said, Lin Xin compared it with Wu Dongfeng's confession, and found that Wu Dongfeng probably wasn't lying, what he said was the truth,

Lin Xin asked again: "Then what happened afterwards? Have you seen other people coming to her villa?"

The woman shook her head and said, "There is no later, and I haven't seen anyone entering or exiting her villa again."

Lin Xin nodded, her lowered eyes dimmed a bit, she still didn't ask a result in the end, and the clue was broken here.

She sighed secretly, and said, "Okay, we're done asking, thank you for your cooperation."

After Lin Xin finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the door of the living room, while Yang Cong and Mei Hua followed behind her.

The housekeeper who was standing at the gate saw that they were about to leave, so he stretched out his hand to open the gate, then bent slightly, and said politely, "Officer, go slowly."

Lin Xin didn't care to pay attention to what the housekeeper said to them, she lowered her head and walked towards the courtyard.When she met the gardener, she saw that he quickly lowered his head and continued the work he had just stopped.

Lin Xin saw the gardener's twinkling eyes at a glance. With a glimmer of expectation, she hurried to the gardener and asked, "Brother, do you have anything else you want to tell us? What else do you know?" ?”

Seeing her suddenly walking towards him, the gardener panicked and became even more speechless.

But Yang Cong was already impatient, he strode towards the gardener and said sharply: "We are asking you something, what else do you know? Tell me!"

Seeing the two police officers standing in front of him suddenly, the gardener stammered, and he said, "I...I, I...don't know anything."

Seeing that he was frightened by her, Lin Xin quickly softened her tone and said softly, "Brother, if you have anything to tell us, just tell us right away, and we promise not to detain you."

The gardener saw that Lin Xin's attitude had eased, and her courage gradually became stronger, and even her tone of voice became normal. He said, "I am here every day to trim and water these flowers and plants? So, the noise of the neighbors' quarrel, I I heard it."

Yang Cong asked impatiently: "What happened next? Get to the point!"

The gardener looked at Yang Cong timidly, and said, "Actually...the reports in the media are wrong."

Lin Xin asked eagerly, "Why?"

The gardener's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said: "Just... As far as the media reports have said, Chen Huawei was only discovered 4 days after her death. However, I clearly heard her during those 4 days. The sound of quarreling with Wu Dongfeng, so, how could she have been dead for so long? She just died. As soon as she died, a child crawled into her villa, and then found her body. . "

After the gardener said these few words, the three of them were stunned. They looked carefully at the expression on the gardener's face and saw that he didn't seem to be lying at all.

So is what he said true?

Why did he still hear the quarrel between Chen Huawei and Wu Dongfeng during the period after Chen Huawei's death?

Then, Lin Xin and others saw Chen Huawei's body, and forensic doctor Long also examined the body, confirming that her body was discovered by the children only 4 days after her death.

Plus, the body was decomposed.However, why did the gardener say he heard them quarreling?

this. . .This is impossible. .

Seeing that Lin Xin and the others looked suspicious, the gardener hurriedly said, "I really heard it, I... I didn't lie."

Lin Xin rolled her eyes and asked, "So, did you hear what they were arguing about? What are they arguing about?"

The gardener said: "What else can they quarrel with? They are all quarreling over money, or because Chen Huawei often takes men home. It's just that their quarrels are intermittent, and I just heard a general idea. Didn't hear very clearly."

At this moment, Mei Hua interrupted and asked, "Are they arguing about other things?"

The gardener shook his head and said, "They're all arguing about the same thing, I get tired of hearing it sometimes."

Lin Xin asked: "So, you mean that Wu Dongfeng came back to the villa after running away from home again?"

The gardener nodded and said, "Yes, I think he came back!"

Lin Xin asked: "Brother, let me ask you one last question. When you heard them quarreling during those four days, was the content of the conversation the same?"

The gardener said: "That's right, the content is exactly the same. During those four days, the content of their quarrel was exactly the same, even Wu Dongfeng's yelling and cursing were the same."

A trace of expectation appeared on Lin Xin's face, and she asked, "Then did you not hear Chen Huawei's scolding at all? Did you not hear a single word?"

The gardener said: "Yes, she can't even say a word. Her vocal cords have been damaged, how could she still be able to curse, even if she didn't hear the sound of throwing things away!"

Lin Xin's eyes lit up, and she said to the gardener, "Brother, thank you for telling us the news!"

Then, she turned to Yang Cong and Mei Hua and said, "Let's go now, go back to the Public Security Bureau and find Officer Fan, I have to tell him about this!"

After the two agreed, they left the villa, got into the police car, and rushed to the police station, leaving only the gardener standing there blankly. .
