Chapter 21: The Mystery of the Case

After Cheng Shi and others went out, he smiled at his future teammates and said, "Hello, I'm Cheng Shi. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future!"
Feng Tao nodded with a cold face and said nothing, while Francis nodded with a smile.
Only Deng Xin came over, stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Cheng Shi, and said: "Hello, Agent Cheng, I am Deng Xin, happy to work with you!"
Immediately afterwards, several people went to pick up the two motorcycles arranged for them by Huang Jinrong.
Since motorcycles are currently very rare, there are not many of them in the entire patrol room. It is also because of the special nature of this team that Huang Huangrong specially approved two of them.
Feng Tao obviously knew Francesca very well. After the two of them exchanged a few words, Feng Tao took Francesca on the car and left first.
Deng Xin looked at the motorcycle in front of her, and then at Cheng Shi. She stared with big eyes and said with some embarrassment, "I don't know how to ride this thing. Cheng Shi, can you?!"
After hearing this, Cheng Shi smiled and said, "Maybe I can!"
After hearing this, Deng Xin was stunned and said doubtfully: "What do you mean it's possible?! If you can't catch up with them, they may take away the credit!"
Cheng Shi did not answer Deng Xin's words, but stepped forward and circled around the motorcycle (called a mechanical bicycle in the Republic of China, but now cars are called motorcycles).
Only then did he realize that they were not much different from modern motorcycles. Cheng Shi suddenly gained confidence and imitated Feng Tao, driving the motorcycle and said, "Get in!"
Deng Xin sat on it excitedly and said, "Agent Cheng, you have to teach me how to ride it when you have time!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said: "No problem, sit tight first, Agent Deng, please point me to another way! Let's go around in front of them!"
Following Deng Xin's directions, Cheng Shi began to ride this mule, which at that time was called "the mule that can run without eating grass" and started running wildly!
This Western means of transportation was introduced to China in the 1910s, but there are still very few of them at present. Most patrol rooms still use bicycles for patrolling!
The appearance is not much different from today's two-wheeled motorcycles, except that more of the machine is exposed, and it is also equipped with a tweeter, which should be used for shouting, arresting and commanding.
In order to arrive earlier than the other party, Cheng Shi kept blaring his horn along the way, scaring the pedestrians on the road to avoid him.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the scene earlier than Feng Tao and the others. This time their destination was an abandoned factory.
Cheng Shi turned off his motorcycle at the door. Deng Xin got off the bike excitedly and said, "It's so exciting! Cheng Shi, your riding skills are really good!"
Cheng Shi smiled, accepted the compliment, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Deng Xin.
After lighting it for him, Cheng Shi lit one for himself, took a puff, slowly exhaled the smoke, and asked.
"What kind of case did the ghost slit the throat that the Chief Inspector was talking about and why? Agent Feng's face changed drastically after hearing this!"
Deng thought for a while and said: "I don't know very well. I just heard from my friend that the murderer might be a ghost, so he was called a ghost to cut his throat!
The chief detective handed the case over to Feng Tao, but Feng Tao, who had solved countless cases, made no progress for half a year!"
Cheng Shi thought for a moment and said, "In this case, Agent Feng seems to look down on us two!"
When Deng Xin heard this, her face turned cold and she said, "Feng Tao is a star agent, and his father is the first-level detective in the patrol room!
And he himself has solved many cases, so naturally he doesn't like me as a thief catcher!
By the way, I heard that you asked the chief detective to find me to investigate the murder case! Why?!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said, "Of course it's because of your expertise. Don't you want to handle murder cases?!"
Deng Xin scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Why don't you think about it? I've long been tired of catching those thieves!"
Cheng Shi then said seriously: "That's good, I also see that Francis and Feng Tao have a good relationship!
I suggest that next, the two of us should join forces to finally solve this case so that he will not dare to look down on us!"
Deng Xin looked at Cheng Shi's extended right hand and quickly laughed and said, "That's exactly what I meant!"
Then Deng Xin and Cheng Shi held their hands together tightly!
At this time, the two of them also heard the sound of the motorcycle. They let go of their hands and faced the two people riding over!
Feng Tao parked the car next to the two of them, looked at them with some surprise, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that you guys arrived before us, why don't you go in!"
Cheng Shi looked at this cold guy, naturally he didn't like it, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for you, if in the end I solve the case before you!
I’m afraid you’ll find excuses in the end, saying that it was because I entered the scene first and hid some clues that I finally solved the case first!”
Feng Tao was not angry. At this time, he looked at the two of them carefully and said, "If you want to solve the case before me, it depends on whether you have the ability!"
Then Feng Tao turned around and walked into the abandoned factory. There were only a few people there. After entering, Cheng Shi looked at the empty factory and suddenly felt a little insignificant.
Several people saw two patrolmen standing in the middle of the factory building, and they walked over quickly.
Feng Tao said to the two patrolmen guarding here: "No one has touched the scene, right?! Where is the person who found the body?!"
Both of them looked a little scared, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "No, Agent Feng, the case is the same as last time, maybe it was really done by ghosts!"
Cheng Shi could already tell that these two people were very scared. If it hadn't been for broad daylight, these two people would not have dared to stay here at all!
Feng Tao shook his head and said: "What era has it been? What kind of ghost is there? It's just a mystery. You two go and bring the witnesses!"
After hearing this, the two people left the place quickly. At this time, the group of four people took a few steps and then looked at the body lying in the middle of the factory.
Several people stopped a dozen steps away from the corpse and did not dare to get any closer, because there was no place for them to set foot around the corpse!
The deceased was a middle-aged man wearing rich clothes. He was lying on the ground with a look of horror on his back, his left hand covering his cut neck!
The other hand is holding a silver-black pistol, and there is a large piece of red paper next to it, with something written on it in black ink!
Only then did Cheng Shi understand why Huang Huangrong said that a ghost had cut his throat, because the deceased had his carotid artery cut and died!
There were splatters of blood all around him, and there was no missing spot!
If the deceased was killed by the murderer at close range, at least some of the blood would be on the murderer's body!
But there was no such scene. There were bloodstains all around. It was as perfect as a painting splashed with red ink, with no trace of damage at all!
When Feng Tao saw this, he sighed, and then said coldly: "Sure enough, he appears again. I must catch him this time!"
Francis was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and started taking pictures with a 1916 wooden pocket camera made by the Eastman Kodak Company (USA) hanging around his neck.
This is also the world's first camera equipped with a linked distance meter, which uses mirror triangulation!
It is the latest camera that is installed on the base of the front panel and allows you to adjust the lens forward and backward while taking the view on the right side to achieve focus.
