Chapter 93: The Inquiry Begins

Feng Tao looked very sad when he saw Jim and Catherine just now, and it didn't look like they were fake!
So Feng Tao asked with some confusion: "Agent Cheng, are you making a mistake?"
Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "No, didn't you see just now that their reactions were a little abnormal?!"
After listening to Cheng Shi's words, Feng Tao tried to recall the scene just now. There was indeed something wrong. Their body movements were too stiff.
Feng Tao still asked doubtfully: "Their painful expressions don't seem to be fake, and some of their movements are abnormal!
Maybe it’s because of Merlin’s death that they were so sad that they made some abnormal actions, but this doesn’t mean anything?!”
Cheng Shi shook his head and explained: "The problem is not their actions, but their attitude towards Merlin's death!
Their expressions of pain really don’t look fake!
This makes me doubt them even more. An important relative of yours has passed away, and you can still answer my questions so calmly!
If it were me, I would tell the investigators all the possibilities that he might be killed one by one, and then curse them out!
But they were holding back and barely said anything that might lead to Merlin being killed. What does this mean?!
So, even if the murderer is not them, they must have concealed some facts from us, and why would they hide it?!"
Feng Tao thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, it is indeed a bit abnormal. What he did means that they may know why Merlin was killed, so they did not reveal their suspicions!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said: "When I asked Jim why Merlin might have been killed, he subconsciously made a move!
His body made a forward movement to answer the question. He may not be aware of this subconscious movement!
Moreover, he quickly held back, and then began to change the subject, saying that he didn't care much about his brother, which was why his brother was killed!
At this time, I couldn't force myself to ask any more questions, so I turned to ask Catherine, and Catherine didn't answer my question.
Instead, after saying a few words, he threw my question back to us!"
Liu Haibo continued: "That means they are all suspected of murder?!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "Of course you can't say that they are suspected of committing a crime just because they have something to hide!
That’s why I asked Inspector Liu to check their recent situation and see what they want to hide from us!"
Liu Haibo glanced at Feng Tao, and after Feng Tao nodded in agreement, Liu Haibo quickly left and went back to check the information!
Cheng Shi also saw the little moves between the two and knew that Liu Haibo was Feng Tao's man!
After Liu Haibo left, Feng Tao beside Cheng Shi sighed and said.
"Agent Cheng, your observations are so careful and your ideas are so wild and unconstrained, I feel so ashamed!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "These are the mistakes I left behind from the past. I have developed the habit of observing people often!
Therefore, I quickly discovered their abnormality. Abnormalities must have monsters, even if they don't know who the murderer is?!
I must have thought about who the murderer might be. If he didn't tell us, the first possibility is that it's about a secret that cannot be told!
It is not convenient for them to tell us, as for the second possibility, it is..."
Feng Tao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "The second possibility is that they want to take revenge themselves!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "Yes, even if they don't want revenge, they will definitely take action next!"
Feng Tao already understood what Cheng Shi meant. He turned around and quietly arranged for his men to keep an eye on Jim and Catherine!
Soon Albert gathered everyone in the choir together. Albert walked up to Cheng Shi and said.
"Agent Cheng, there are a total of 23 people in our choir. Except for Catherine who is not here, the other 22 people including me are all here!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said: "Very good, I have to ask Mr. Albert to help me stabilize them and let them listen quietly to my question!"
After hearing this, Albert said angrily: "I know, I will help you, although Merlin is a bit unpopular!
However, I will not allow anyone to casually kill our believers here, and I hope the detectives can find the murderer as soon as possible!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "I will!"
Then Cheng Shi and Albert came to them, and Albert spoke to them first.
"Gentlemen and ladies, now our friend Merlin has been killed here, and I hope you can stay here for a while!
Tell the detective behind me everything you know, and let them find the murderer of Merlin as soon as possible!"
After everyone heard this, although they looked a little unhappy, no one refuted Albert's words, they all stood quietly where they were!
Albert then waved and gave the right to speak to Cheng Shi, who also took a few steps forward and came to the crowd.
Everyone stared at Cheng Shi, ready to wait for Cheng Shi to ask questions, but five minutes passed, and Cheng Shi just kept staring at them!
Not a word was said.
Finally, Cheng Shi's right hand moved, and everyone's heads also moved. Cheng Shi took it from the left pocket of his clothes!
Slowly taking out the cigarette and matches, he silently put the cigarette to his lips, then lit it, and continued to look at them quietly!
Among the people in front of Cheng Shi, someone finally couldn't help it anymore and stood up loudly and said: "You gathered us here and didn't say anything. What do you mean?!"
Cheng Shi took a deep breath from the cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said slowly: "In this case, I'll start with you. What is your relationship with Merlin? Do you know why he was killed?!"
The man who stood up said angrily when he heard Cheng Shi's words: "I'm not familiar with him, I just met him a few times in the choir!
I don’t know why he was killed, can I leave now?!"
Cheng Shi smiled, took another deep puff of cigarette, and said, "Of course, you can leave!"
The man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and waved away, saying with disgust on the way: "This man is really crazy!"
Cheng Shi didn't pay attention, but continued to smoke quietly without speaking. Soon someone came forward!
Cheng Shi smiled slightly and said: "Still the same question as before, what is your relationship with Merlin? Do you know why he was killed?!"
Hearing Cheng Shi's words, the man said: "I'm not familiar with him either. He's a very withdrawn person, so basically everyone here is unfamiliar with him. Can I leave?!"
