Chapter 92: Ask for Clues

When several people went to his residence, the strong man Albert and Cheng Shi chatted about Merlin's information.
"Merlin has been without his parents since he was a child, and his family doesn't have much money, so he and his brother left their hometown and came to Shanghai!"
Cheng Shi then asked: "Then what is his job?!"
Albert shook his head and said: "He has no job and has been living on relief from his brother, who owns a cafe!"
After Cheng Shi thought for a while, he said, "Then is he married?!"
Albert nodded and said: "He has a new wife who has been married for just a year. I have already sent someone to notify Merlin of his brother and his wife!"
Merlin's brother is called Jim. Within three years of coming to Shanghai, he has gone from being penniless to a coffee shop owner!
Merlin's wife, Catherine, is also a member of the choir. She works in the coffee shop run by Jim.
Soon they arrived at Merlin's residence, which was a six-story apartment not far from the choir.
The strong man Albert came to the door of the room, groped around on the door, and found a key!
Cheng Shi asked: "How did you know he put the key here?!"
Albert continued: "Most of the people in the choir know it because he lives closest to the choir!
During the lunch break, we sometimes come to his house as guests, so everyone knows his habit of leaving keys!"
Cheng Shi was noncommittal, and Albert then opened the door. The house was not big, with one bedroom and one living room. Although the house was not big, it was very exquisite!
Cheng Shi and Feng Tao began to observe everything in the room. Everything in the room was arranged neatly!
There were only some miscellaneous things piled on the dining table in the living room, and then Cheng Shi opened the bedroom under the leadership of Albert!
Cheng Shi walked into Meilin's bedroom and looked at everything in the bedroom, scanning his eyes inch by inch, and then opened the cabinet to check.
Feng Tao also walked in not long after and said, "Have you discovered anything?!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "Not yet. It seems there are no useful clues about where he lives!"
Cheng Shi walked out of the bedroom and asked Albert: "Is there anything unusual about Merlin recently? Does he have any enemies?!"
Albert thought for a while, shook his head and said: "He is the same as before, there is nothing strange about him recently!
As for enemies, he has offended many people, but I can’t think of anyone who would kill him for this!”
Cheng Shi then asked: "Why do you say that?!"
Albert shook his head and said: "He has a very withdrawn personality, and he likes gambling. He owes a lot of people money, and he offends a lot of people because of his withdrawn personality, but he doesn't seem to have hatred that can kill people!"
Cheng Shi continued: "There is nothing to see here, let's go back to the choir!"
Cheng Shi and his group began to leave Meilin's apartment. The moment Albert closed the door, Cheng Shi's eyes looked at the dining table in the living room, and his eyes flashed!
Soon the group of four returned to the choir. At this time, a man and a woman anxiously walked toward Albert.
Cheng Shi already knew who these two people were. Jim looked at Albert in front of him, put his hands on his shoulders, and asked anxiously.
"Albert, what happened to my brother? How could he die suddenly?!"
Catherine's eyes were red on the side, and Albert sighed, shook his head and said.
"I don't know much about this, but the people in the patrol room said that Merlin was murdered!"
Jim was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Shi next to Albert, walked up to Cheng Shi in two steps, and spoke loudly in broken Chinese.
"You said my brother was killed! Who killed him?!"
Cheng Shi said seriously in English: "Mr. Jim, please forgive me. Your brother was indeed murdered, and he was brutally killed with some kind of poisonous insect!"
Jim was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said in English with a painful look on his face: "Poisonous insect?! Who would treat Merlin like this?! Have you found the murderer?!"
Cheng Shi continued to ask: "We haven't found it yet, so we want to ask Mr. Jim, do you know who your brother has a grudge against?!"
Jim was stunned for a moment, shook his head sadly and said: "I really don't know, I have been busy making money since I came here!
My parents died young and left Merlin in my care. Except for this kind of thing, it's all my fault. I cared too little about him!
Although I have been giving him money, I care too little about Merlin, otherwise, what is happening now would not have happened!"
Seeing that Jim was sad, Catherine quickly comforted him: "Jim, you don't have to be like this, it's not your fault, you have done a good job!"
Catherine then turned to Cheng Shi and said, "I hope you will find the murderer as soon as possible and give us an explanation!"
Cheng Shi looked at Catherine and said, "We will, we will definitely find the murderer!"
Cheng Shi paused and then asked: "I'm sorry, I'd like to ask, Ms. Catherine, why do you think your husband was killed?!"
Catherine was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "I don't know, the coffee shop has been very busy in the past half month, and I haven't talked much with him during this time. I didn't expect this to happen!"
At this time, Jim said to Cheng Shi angrily: "I don't know what you mean, detective!
How do I feel that you are interrogating the two of us now, are you suspecting that we are the murderers?!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he said sheepishly: "Sorry, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to know more about the situation!"
Cheng Shi took a deep look at Jim and Catherine, and then said: "Sorry, let's go ask others and I will inform you if there is any progress in the case!"
Jim's angry expression slowly faded away, and he said apologetically: "We have to deal with Jim's death now, so I won't accompany you!"
Cheng Shi said: "This is natural. Death is the most important thing. It is time for Mr. Meilin to take care of his posthumous affairs!"
After Cheng Shi watched Catherine and Jim leave, he turned to Albert and said, "Mr. Albert, please gather everyone in the choir together. I want to question them one by one!"
Albert nodded, turned and left.
Cheng Shi motioned to Feng Tao and Liu Haibo to step aside and talk. Cheng Shi told them roughly all the conversations they had just had!
After Cheng Shi pondered for a moment, he said to Liu Haibo: "Inspector Liu, please ask someone to investigate Jim and Catherine. I want detailed information!"
Liu Haibo and Feng Tao were both surprised after hearing this. Liu Haibo frowned and asked: "Agent Cheng, why are you investigating these two?! Do you suspect there is something wrong with them?!"
