Chapter 104 Motive

Bai Zizai only secretly showed Manager Liu the bronze medal of Ji Xian Division Detective that he stole from Rong Fei. In order to gain Chunxiang's trust and appease her, Rong Fei also whispered in her ear that he was the Ji Xian Division Detective.

It was not heard by others.

Therefore, except for Manager Liu and Chunxiang, no one else in the room including Zheng Hang knew Rong Fei's identity.

"So... you are admitting your guilt."

Rong Fei did not answer Zheng Hang's question and asked directly.

"I was wronged. I didn't kill the person."

As soon as Zheng Hang's words came out, everyone was startled.

In the face of mountains of irrefutable evidence, this guy still dares to deny it in every possible way. He deserves to be damned!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zheng Hang spread his hands and smiled at Rongfei.

"My lord, you have also seen it. Since denying it is useless, why not confess it happily?"

When Manager Liu saw that Zheng Hang was ignoring him, he suddenly felt that he was losing face, so he jumped in front of Zheng Hang and pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Well, Zheng Hang, I have always trusted you and entrusted you with important responsibilities. Who would have thought that you would actually do such an unscrupulous evil thing? I wonder if I won't fight you today..."

"Shut up!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Hang changed his groveling attitude before, his eyes widened, and he shouted coldly.

Manager Liu was startled and swallowed the second half of his words.

"Liu Tong, don't be a petty steward here and think that you are a real person. You are just a pug begging for food next to Chang Huaien. You have no right to bark in front of me."

If Zheng Han dared to speak to him like this in the past, Manager Liu would have slapped him with a big slap. But at this time, Zheng Hang gave him a very dangerous feeling, and his intuition told him not to talk to Zheng Hang.

Talk back, otherwise he will do anything.

"Hmph! I don't even bother talking to a dying person."

Without saying anything, Manager Liu went to stand between the two thugs.

The annoying manager Liu left, Zheng Hang smiled coldly, and said to Rong Fei.

"Since Your Excellency is unwilling to fulfill my wish, Zheng will no longer insist. This guest was indeed killed by me, and I arranged all this with the intention of putting the blame on Chunxiang. Your Excellency, please arrest me!"

After saying this, Zheng Hang made a gesture of pleading guilty and submitting to the law.

"We must arrest him, but we are not in a hurry because there are still many things that we have not yet figured out."

Rong Fei said.

"I have already admitted all my crimes. What do you want, sir? Do you have to continue to humiliate me in front of so many people? I, Zheng Hang, consider myself to be as resourceful and talented as anyone else, but I cannot be reused because of my humble background.

Because of my upright personality, I was ostracized and had no choice but to live in such a place with fireworks and willows in order to survive. But now I can no longer bear the filthy atmosphere here. I just ask you, sir, to arrest me now and put me in jail.

It doesn’t matter if you behead him or not, it’s better than staying here.”

"An ant is still trying to survive. I have dealt with criminals for many years, and this is the first time I have seen someone so impatient to die. Zheng Hang, are you trying to cover up something? Or are you trying to protect someone?"

"Sir, you are thinking too much."

Facing Rong Fei's question, Zheng Hang replied without changing his expression.

"Since you said I think too much, let me answer a few questions first and clear up the doubts in my mind." z.br

Rong Fei said calmly.

"Sir, the case must be tried in court, not in a brothel."

Zheng Hang said displeased.

"It's up to me to decide where and how the case will be tried, and when it's the suspect's turn to pick and choose."

"Hmph! Anyway, I won't say anything here."

"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not, just listen to me."

The onlookers also found it strange that the murderer had already been identified, but what was this man from the yamen still writing about?

"I have said before that there are three key points in a murder case, the motive, the time of the crime and the method of committing the crime. Only by understanding these three

Only through this key point can the entire case be put in order and the real murderer identified.

Through the analysis of all clues and evidence, two key points have been clarified, namely the time and method of committing the crime, but the most important motive has not yet been clarified. Moreover, there are still several doubtful points in this case that have not been solved

It’s too early to solve the case, so let me explain.”

Under everyone's gaze, Rong Fei walked to the door and turned to face the room.

"Let me re-demonstrate the entire case process and reveal the unsolved doubts one by one. Chunxiang left, I sneaked into the room, broke the wicks of four candles, and then got under the bed and hid them. This is the first place.

A doubtful point."

Everyone looked confused when they heard this.

Where is the doubt?

Why didn't I see it?

"There are many lanterns hanging in the verandah and patio outside. The lights are as bright as day, but the room is dark because the candles have been blown out. As I said before, because of the human eye's adaptability to light, suddenly

When you go from light to darkness, you won't be able to see anything for a short period of time.

After the murderer enters the room, he first needs to accurately find the location of the four candles in the darkness, do something as delicate as cutting the cotton wick while unable to see, and then get under the bed and hide.

All this happened in a short period of time, which shows that the murderer was quite familiar with the layout of the room and the placement of the candlesticks."

"Hmph! I thought it was something difficult to solve, but it seems that your abilities are nothing more than that. I often go in and out of the rooms in the building, including Chunxiang's room. And the layout of all the rooms on the second floor is roughly the same.

The more you learn, the more you will remember it."

Zheng Hang glanced at Rong Fei provocatively, then snorted coldly.

"Well, this explanation makes sense."

Rong Fei nodded, walked to the four turtle men who had already moved aside to keep a safe distance from Zheng Hang, and asked one of them.

"Let me ask you, little brother, which girl's room is next door?"

"This is Sister Qiu Ju's room."

Rong Fei was slightly startled when he heard this name, and wanted to know if there was a talented man named Tang Yin who often visited this girl Qiu Ju.

However, this prank idea only passed by for a moment, and he coughed slightly before continuing to ask.

"Where is the wardrobe in Miss Qiu Ju's room?"

"It's also at this location."

Mr. Turtle pointed at Chunxiang's wardrobe and replied.

"Oh, does Miss Qiu Ju's wardrobe door make a squeaking sound when it is opened and closed?"

"Hmm... I don't know. There are usually women's underwear in the closet. Even if I want to see it, Sister Qiu Ju won't let me."

Turtle Gong smiled and replied.

"Bah! You deserve it too."

A woman's coquettish voice sounded outside the door. I guess it was Miss Qiu Ju who lived next door.

Rong Fei looked toward the door, wanting to catch a glimpse of the beautiful face of this girl Qiu Ju. Unfortunately, there were too many people crowded at the small door, including several gorgeous girls from the same building. Rong Fei couldn't distinguish what had just happened.

Who is speaking?

Rong Fei looked away angrily, and continued to ask Mr. Turtle.

"Do you know how many candlesticks there are in Miss Qiu Ju's room, and how many candles are placed in each candlestick?"

"Hmm...four...four, ah, no, it seems like three candlesticks."

"Idiot, it's two candlesticks. Although the building gave out four candlesticks for free, I have to pay for the candles I use every month, so I just put the two in the cabinet and don't use them."

Rong Fei suddenly turned his head, and this time he finally saw the appearance of this girl Qiu Ju. Well... she had an above-average appearance, not disappointing, but not stunning either.

When Qiu Ju saw Rong Fei looking towards her, she pretended to smile shyly and at the same time sent her eyes to him.

Rong Fei nodded politely to Miss Qiu Ju, thanked Gui Gong who answered, and then turned to Zheng Hang and asked.

"Others can't remember why you

But remember, please explain."

"The same thing is done by different people. Some people do it well and some don't do it well. Why is it strange? I have always been careful, and it is normal to remember things that others don't care about."

"Okay, then let me ask you. When the wardrobe in Miss Qiu Ju's room is opened and closed, does it make any sound or not?"

"I don't know, I didn't pay attention."

Zheng Hang replied confidently.

"If you answer that, then I can only think that you paid special attention to Miss Chunxiang's room. You chose to kill in this room because you had a premeditated plan, right?"

"snort!"

Zheng Hang didn't answer, and Rong Fei didn't care either, and continued his analysis.

"I took a quick glance before going upstairs. There are probably more than twenty rooms on the second floor. This leads to the second doubt. Why did you choose Miss Chunxiang's place?"

"There's no reason, it's just a matter of pleasure."

Zheng Hang replied.

"If you are just excited, then why do you pay attention to the location and number of candles in the room in advance, and plan a hiding place. In addition, there is a third doubt, judging from the position of the cotton wick cut off on the candle

, you should have calculated the time in advance, how do you know when the guests will come?"

"Sir, this is too young to know."

A turtle man raised his hands and said.

"you say."

"I know this guest, Xiao De. He is a businessman who came to Beijing from other places to do business. When he came to the building for the first time five days ago, Xiao De was responsible for the reception. After asking about the guest's preferences, he introduced the girl to him. After that, every day

At about the same time in the evening, this guest will come to the building to spend the night."

"Are you hosting me today too?"

Rong Fei asked.

"Sir, Xiao De received this guest tonight."

A turtle man outside the door jumped up and raised his hands and shouted.

The spectators outside the door automatically made way for the turtle to enter the room.

"Did you introduce him to Miss Chunxiang?"

"No, it was the guest who asked for Sister Chunxiang by name. At that time, Xiaode took a special look at Sister Chunxiang's room and saw that there was no light in the room. After asking, he found out that Sister Chunxiang had gone to wash up, so Xiaode accompanied the guest.

I watched the poetry show downstairs for a while, and after seeing Sister Chunxiang coming back, I took the guests upstairs."

"Is this guest always named Miss Chunxiang?"

Rong Fei asked.

"No sir, this guest has been received by Sister Dongmei for the past few days."

"Dongmei?"

Rong Fei muttered the name and turned to look at Zheng Hang's expression.
