Chapter 3 - The Sin of Gluttony (3)(1/2)
Chen Bai stroked his chin, and he took out the photos of the scene and looked at them carefully. Bai Hongwei looked at Chen Bai and asked with some confusion.
"Is this really so important? The deceased had only been dead for about an hour when we arrived at the scene. Could it be that the murderer didn't have time to arrange the scene?"
"maybe!"
Chen Bai stood up and looked around the scene.
"Actually, I still don't understand why the murderer insists on killing these people?"
Da Binzi was a little puzzled. According to the conclusion they came to after investigating the scene, the murderer did not take away the property in the hotel after killing the people, so the murderer did not come for money. But these people are just the most ordinary people.
He's just a human being, even if he really offended someone, would he use such cruel methods?
"Okay, let's go outside and take a look first!"
As soon as Chen Bai and others walked out, a police officer in charge of the scene quickly ran a few steps to Bai Hongwei.
"Captain Bai, how many more days will this place be closed? Our cordon has blocked many residents here, and it is inconvenient for them to get in and out now. We..."
Chen Bai took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he saw a person in the crowd looking at him with something wrong. When Chen Bai put down his cigarette and was about to step forward, the man turned around and ran away.
"stop!"
Chen Bai immediately chased after him. Just as Bai Hongwei was about to say something, he saw Chen Bai rush out like an arrow. He ignored the police around him and quickly followed.
"Stop!"
Chen Bai and the man shuttled among the low bungalows. The man was obviously a resident here and was very familiar with the terrain here. He kept running in front, but Chen Bai was not slow either. Although he couldn't catch up, he kept running.
Follow behind.
"Stop! Police!"
Bai Hongwei and Da Binzi were also chasing after them desperately, although they didn't know what was going on now, and Chen Bai and the man were getting faster and faster. If they hadn't been there once, they wouldn't have been able to catch up.
superior.
"Stop!"
Chen Bai saw that the man climbed directly onto the wall in two or three steps, then turned around and jumped onto the bungalow next to him. Chen Bai had no choice but to continue to follow. The two started chasing on the roof again, but this man was obviously not the first person.
I did this once. When I saw Chen Bai on the roof, the man immediately changed his direction and jumped up to a higher two-story building. But as soon as the man went up, he saw Chen Bai using the same
The method jumped up.
"Stop chasing me, what are you going to do?"
The man was obviously unable to run, but he still retreated step by step as he watched Chen Bai.
"What were you running for just now!"
"Then why are you chasing me?"
"Why should I chase you if you don't run?"
"You chase me, why don't I run?"
In this way, Chen Bai and the man were in a stalemate, and Bai Hongwei and Da Binzi also followed.
"Brother, I know that the death of the restaurant owner has nothing to do with you, but you must know something. We are the police. You can tell us anything."
Chen Bai took out a cigarette and lit it. He knew that the most important thing at this time was to appease the person's emotions.
"real?"
The man was a little shaken, Chen Bai nodded and said with a smile.
"Of course, it's dangerous for you to come over there first!"
Chen Bai stretched out his hand as he spoke, and the man slowly came closer. But at this moment, the man suddenly dwarfed, and Chen Bai's outstretched hand was missed. Then the man actually jumped directly from the two-story building to the ground.
, Chen Bai jumped down without hesitation.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and chase!"
Bai Hongwei looked at the two people who disappeared at the intersection, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and followed them.
"Hoo ho ho!"
"I said, why are you running away?"
At the intersection, Chen Bai looked helplessly at the man squatting on the ground gasping for air, but the man's legs were already weak and unable to stand up.
"You will know when my colleagues come, we are really the police."
Chen Bai lit a cigarette and suddenly thought of something when looking at the man.
"I know, I know why you ran away. Boy, you owe someone money!"
Hearing what Chen Bai said, a trace of panic flashed across the man's face, and his voice became shaky.
"No, no, what are you talking about! Why can't I understand?"
Chen Bai smiled and sat next to the man without saying anything.
"You're pretty good at parkour, right? How many years have you been doing it?"
"Eight years!"
Chen Bai was a little surprised. This kind of thing has not been popular for a few years, but the person in front of him has been playing it for eight years.
"Chen Bai!"
When Chen Bai saw Bai Hongwei waving towards him, he also extended his hand and waved.
"Don't worry, we are really the police. I believe you must know something, right? As long as you tell us, maybe we can help you solve your problem."
The man had no choice but to nod.
An hour later, the four of them were sitting in the office of the police station, with the air conditioner blowing. The man finally felt relieved when he saw Bai Hongwei and Da Binzi in police uniforms.
"A few police officers, my name is Yan Bin, live in the bungalow behind that restaurant. I, I very likely know who the murderer is."
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and Bai Hongwei straightened up in excitement.
"Tell me, tell me what's going on."
"I don't live alone, I have a roommate. We all deliver food. Officer, you may not think that the small restaurant is so shabby, but in fact there are still many people ordering takeout from that restaurant. One time when we came back from get off work, Wuchuan Tell me he will kill that bastard Zhang Dafu sooner or later."
Chen Bai lit a cigarette and continued to ask.
"Then did you ask why?"
"Of course I asked, but Wu Chuan's answer left me a little confused. Wu Chuan told me that Zhang Dafu was a sinner and that he was guilty. I asked what the crime was, but Wu Chuan stopped talking."
The three of them asked where he was at the time of the incident, and Yan Bin answered fluently.
"Okay, you can rest here for a while, and then let's have a meal in the cafeteria together at noon!"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he motioned for the two of them to go out with him.
"Chen Bai, I don't think this man's words can be trusted. Look at what he said. I think we should just go back and search his house. I think we will find something. No murder weapon was found at the two crime scenes.
I think the murderer must have taken away the murder weapon. We will search and find something."
"No, I think what this person said is probably true."
Both Bai Hongwei and Bai Hongwei were a little confused when they heard this. Chen Bai smiled and looked at the two of them and explained.
"You have checked the relationship between the two deceased people. They are strangers. No one knows each other. As for the death message gluttony we found at the crime scene, I have already told you what it means. In Catholicism
Well, gluttony is a sin. You can understand gluttony as a kind of greed, but you are right. We really need to go and see where they live."
The afternoon sun in Binhai City was the hottest, and Yan Bin couldn't help it when the four of them were sitting in the car.
"Officer, how did you know I owed someone money?"
"Tell me what's going on first!"
Chen Bai did not explain. Yan Bin looked at Chen Bai and then at Bai Hongwei, obviously he had some concerns.
"Yan Bin, you have to know that if the evidence you provide is true and valid, and if your roommate is really the murderer of these two cases, then you have committed a major crime, so even if you really did something illegal
, we will also try our best to help you. After all, it is not too late to look back."
When Yan Bin heard what Chen Bai said, he finally made up his mind.
"It's a long story. My mother is sick and needs money. We have three sons in our family. We send money home every month for my mother's medical treatment, but the money we earn is far from enough.
Just when I was at my wits' end, Brother Hei came to find me."
Bai Hongwei was about to ask who Brother Hei was when he was stopped by Chen Bai.
"Brother Hei told me that he had a way to make money quickly and asked me if I wanted to do it. I asked him what he was doing, and he told me that it was an online fund-raising project, and he could earn 3% every week.
I was given a rebate of ten percent. I didn’t believe it at first, but I couldn’t resist Brother Hei’s persuasion, so I tried it with a few hundred. As a result, my principal and interest were both returned after a week, and I tried several more times after that.
But he comes back every time. Brother Hei also told me that I don’t make much money but still have to send money back to my mother. He asked me not to invest too much money. But I can tell people around me about this method. I told a few friends around me.
After that, they all made money using this method. I was a little excited. If I could really make money by this method, maybe I could really raise the money for my mother’s medical treatment, so I gave all my savings to the black man.
Brother, Brother Hei did not disappoint me afterwards, but just after I gave the money to Brother Hei last month, Brother Hei disappeared. No matter how I searched, I could not find Brother Hei. And the person I introduced before
Those people also invested a lot of money, and now that Brother Hei is gone, they are all asking me for money."
