I come from the abyss

Li Zan went to the Swan House, only to find that the office building of Hongrong Real Estate was opposite the store.

When he entered the Swan House, the front desk hurriedly asked: "Swan House, you don't have to worry about home furnishing. Hello, what housekeeping service do you want to know?"

Li Zan took out his police ID, "Please cooperate and check the information."

The front desk was very cautious: "Comrade police, tell me."

"Is there any record of housekeeping services for Mr. Xiang Changrong's house in Huadingcheng Villa District, Beitian District?"

"Yes, yes." The front desk quickly called up the housekeeping service records, and when they handed them to Li Zan, he asked in a gossip tone, "Comrade police, did you find out about the murder of love?"

Li Zan paused, looked at the stage in front of him, and said with a smile: "Listen to you, do you know about the murder of the Xiang family?"

"Of course! The hot searches are all over the place. With such a big murder case and a local rich man, there are dozens of hot news on mobile phones a day, and there are people who analyze the motive of the murder with reason and evidence. In my opinion, it's either love or vendetta."

"I can understand vendetta, why do you think it's love?"

"Of course it's because of flirting with the big boss—er, comrade policeman, this is all my guess, personal guess, don't take it seriously, I have nothing to do with the murder case, and I don't even know the big boss."

"It's okay, I'm brainstorming. You can talk about it."

The front desk looked around, turned off the surveillance, and said mysteriously: "Comrade police, do you know why our housekeeping service is located opposite the office building of Hongrong Real Estate?"

Li Zan made a pensive expression, shook his head and said, "I don't know, is there some origin?"

The front desk slapped his thigh fiercely: "Our proprietress is Xiang Changrong's mistress! This store was funded by him, and Mrs. Xiang only smashed the store once last year—"

"You're talking nonsense, I don't believe it." Li Zan put on an expression of boasting, and said, "Xiang Changrong and his wife have an open marriage. They usually play their own way. As long as the mistress doesn't have a big belly and makes trouble at the door, Mrs. Xiang doesn't care at all. You nonsense There has to be a bit of a spectrum, it’s too ridiculous.”

"What nonsense am I talking about!" The front desk was anxious, "Our proprietress just went to their house with a big belly and was pushed down the stairs by Mrs. Xiang. I heard that the uterus was removed and my life was almost lost. In the end, I lost hundreds of dollars. Ten thousand. The proprietress was so angry that she opened the store opposite their real estate company. Last year, she suddenly snatched a big order from an old housekeeper to a housekeeping service. As a result, the whole family died within a year. I think it must be the proprietress who came to their house Step on the spot and wait for the opportunity to take revenge."

Li Zan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about your lady boss?"

"I went on a trip three days ago, my phone was turned off, and I couldn't get in touch."

Li Zan typed down the order record, and glanced at the name of the domestic service employee: "Cheng Nan?"

"The name of our proprietress, she took the order personally, so I said she must be related to the murder case!"

"One last question." Li Zan put away the order record and asked the front desk with a smile, "You really don't know Xiang Changrong?"

The receptionist's expression froze, his eyes wandered, and he tidied up a big-name lipstick on the table: "The big boss, how could he know me as a small receptionist?"

"Really? I thought that you were courting Changrong to anger the proprietress, and being humiliated by the proprietress in public may have damaged your interests virtually, causing you to hold a grudge against the proprietress."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The receptionist became furious and threw the lipstick in his hand violently: "The police are amazing? How can the police slander people? What is your police number? I want to sue you!"

Li Zan: "Generally speaking, the employees will not wait to identify her boss wife as the murderer, and they will not laugh when they talk about her being pushed downstairs and having her womb removed. As for the alarm number, I can provide it. It depends on you." Don't dare to get involved in the murder case of Xiang's family, after all, you have a little bit of hatred with them, maybe it's the motive of the murder."

The front desk touched the corner of his mouth subconsciously, and glared at Li Zan angrily: "Let's go, let's go, I won't complain."

Li Zan: "Then let me ask another question, where does your lady boss live?"

The front desk copied an address and threw it to him: "Unlucky."

"Thank you." Li Zan picked up the paper and left Swan House, ran to the address written on it, and then made a call: "Wang Dangdang, help me check the vehicle under the name of Cheng Nan, the proprietress of Swan House, and her recent travel records .”

Wang Dangdang responded.

Li Zan looked at the road conditions and frowned. He didn't expect to check all the way so smoothly. If the direction is correct, then the real culprit of the Miemen tragedy may be Cheng Nan or Wu Yongwang, or the two cooperated.

In other words, their previous investigation was in the wrong direction.

A vendetta is a vendetta, but it has nothing to do with the red hall in Qingshan Town and the corpse hidden by the doll?

Li Zan came to Cheng Nan's house according to the address. Her house was on the top floor of a 20-story peasant building in an urban village in Beitian District.

The electronic door of the farmer's building was closed, and a password was required to enter. Li Zan first pressed Cheng Nan's room number on the intercom doorbell. The bell rang for a long time before someone finally picked it up.

The other party didn't speak, Li Zan said first: "Hello, Ms. Cheng, your takeaway is here, please open the door."

There was still silence over there, and the current sizzled, and it hung up after two seconds.

Li Zan immediately dialed the mobile phone number left on the rental advertisement on the wall on the first floor, and made an appointment to meet with the agent landlord on the grounds of investigating the case.

At first the acting landlord didn’t believe it, but he ran over sweating profusely until the police station gave him a reply. After entering the password, he opened the door and asked, “Comrade police, our building meets the safety standards. Every household is equipped with a complete set of fire extinguishers. The fire protection is in compliance, and the elevator and fire protection are checked regularly every month, absolutely no problem."

"It's not about checking the fire department. Is there a tenant named Cheng Nan here?"

The agent landlord thought for a while: "There is such a person. It seems... on the 20th floor, oh yes! The tenant on the 20th floor rents an entire floor with great luxury, and the rooms above are not separated. .She got through directly, and I didn't agree with it at first, but she gave too much money—did she break the law?"

"Almost." Li Zan entered the elevator and asked, "Do you have the key to get in?"

"Yes." The acting landlord followed in, and asked sadly, "Comrade policeman, what law did she break? Is it a big deal? It's okay if it has nothing to do with the murder case."

Li Zan didn't answer, afraid of hitting the agent landlord.

The two came to the 20th floor and went straight to Cheng Nan's room number.

When the agent landlord knocked on the door, the geographical structure of this area appeared in Li Zan's mind. If I remember correctly, you can see the villa complex opposite from the balcony of this building. You may be able to observe the activities of Xiang Changrong's family with a telescope. trend.

The agent landlord knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to answer: "It seems that there is no one."

"There is someone. I just called the intercom doorbell, and someone answered it inside. Just open the door with the key."

"Okay." The agent landlord swiped the door of the room with a magnetic card, and Li Zan went in first.

The size of the room is around [-] square meters. The living room is quite spacious and directly leads to the balcony. The wind is blowing in and the curtains are rattling. Suddenly there is movement in the bedroom. Li Zan kicks open the bedroom door in three steps at a time, but there is a clicking sound. Then there was a series of dazzling flashes.

Li Zan raised his hand to cover his eyes. Hearing the sound of a side kick, he hit the camera. Then a familiar female voice screamed. He suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily, "Zhao Yanli!"

Zhao Yanli proudly said: "I have already taken all the photos, and it is estimated that my assistant has prepared the manuscript and is ready to send it. Captain Li, I found the murderer earlier than you."

Li Zan glanced at her coldly, walked around her and saw two corpses of a man and a woman on the balcony of the bedroom. Seeing that they showed no signs of being tied up and coerced, with the empty paraquat bottle in their palms and their painful expressions, he analyzed that they were indeed suicide.

And the identities of the two are clear, Wu Yongwang and Cheng Nan.

Li Zan observed the scene of the murder and found no trace of destruction.

Zhao Yanli said across a bed: "I put a plastic bag on my feet and gloves. I only took pictures and did not destroy any evidence."

"Then what do you say this bedside table was opened before? Who brute force cracked the passwords of the two mobile phones on the cabinet?"

Zhao Yanli shrugged: "I found the murderer, and the first-hand information should belong to me. But don't worry, I didn't destroy the evidence inside, the chat evidence about how they plotted revenge on Xiang Changrong's family. Captured it and saved it in the photo album.”

"She purposely cut and saved the photo album, is she planning to commit suicide first and then ask the person who found the relic to call the police, is it a troublesome surrender?"

"Women trapped in love have abnormal brain circuits, everyone knows that."

When Li Zan was looking for evidence, he opened the bedside cabinets. The murder evidence was basically confirmed, and the rest was of no interest. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a corner of brass protruding from a red leather book in the bottom cabinet.

He opened the red book, took out the gold-rimmed red-bottomed badge engraved with 'St. Mary's Church', opened it to look at the bottom, and engraved an inconspicuous number '17', and suddenly fell into an ice cave.

"Captain Li, what did you find?"

Li Zan put the badge into the evidence bag and stared at Zhao Yanli coldly: "Who brought you here?"

Zhao Yanli pretended to be natural: "I came here by myself, I found out."

Li Zan: "You can't find out by yourself, and you can't pry the handcuffs and escape from the villa—if you could, you wouldn't share what you know about Wu Yongwang sneaking into Xiang Changrong's house as a dog walker You will have exclusive access to the matter, and you will find a way to interview Wu Yongwang. What's more, you only mentioned Wu Yongwang from the beginning to the end, and you don't know Cheng Nan at all."

Zhao Yanli's body subconsciously leaned towards the door, still quibbling, Li Zan narrowed his eyes, suddenly jumped over the big bed and grabbed Zhao Yanli, pulled her out and locked her in the guest bedroom.

"Fuck! Li Zan, what the hell is wrong with you? You are afraid that I will steal your credit and expose your fraudulent detection rate! Let me tell you, I found the truth alone, and the murderers are Wu Yongwang and Cheng Nan. Just notify the assistant to send a message. You wait—"

Li Zan told the agent landlord: "Block the door and don't let her escape."

"Oh good."

Li Zan rushed out of the room quickly, pushed open the fire door, and looked down along the gap in the stairs. Sure enough, he saw a figure in a peaked cap and black clothes hurrying down the stairs. He grabbed the railing and jumped directly to the stairs on the next floor. After a few jumps, he finally caught up with the floor where the black clothes were.

The black clothes suddenly gave up taking the stairs, Li Zan landed on his front foot, and he entered the fire door with his back foot.

Li Zan pushed open the fire door and saw the elevator closing slowly, and the black clothes inside looked up and smiled at him.

"Lu Ji!"
