Dear Officer Zhuang

Chapter 103 Pinocchio

"About the minced meat rice cake, do you remember anything?" Wen Mi asked.

Dai Zhong, Duan Xianhong and Fu Bingying shook their heads: "No."

Wen Mi fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a male terrified shout came from downstairs.

Duan Xianhong's voice was trembling with fear: "What is this...?"

Wen Mi and Gao You have already rushed out of the room and ran downstairs.

The sound came from the men's restroom next to the banquet hall.

At this time, the men's restroom was already full of people.Everyone stretched their necks to look in, but they didn't dare to go in, their faces were full of fear.

Seeing Wen Mi and the others coming, Hu Ruiquan came over and asked anxiously: "How's the investigation going? Have you found any clues?"

Wen Mi shook her head quickly and asked, "What happened?"

Hu Ruiquan sighed, I don't know if it was a sigh that Wen Mi didn't find out anything, or a sigh for the new things that happened.

"Deng Xu... is dead..."

"Deng Xu... is dead?" Wen Mi reacted for a few seconds before matching her name with her face.

Hu Ruiquan nodded without energy: "Well, he was killed in the bathroom."

Wen Mi understood, and squeezed into the front of the crowd.

Unprepared, she was shocked by the situation in front of her.

Deng Xu was kneeling in front of the toilet with his hands tied backwards. A fruit knife was stabbed on the left shoulder of his back. The blood stained a large area of ​​his back clothes red.His head was pushed a little bit into the toilet.

His companion Don Hui was the first to discover his body.

Tang Hui was talking about the process of discovering the body in shock: "Deng Xu said he was going to the toilet...I said it was not safe here, so I went with him. Deng Xu said there was something unsafe, it was just that a person died , He has never seen such a big storm in his life... I don't think he is afraid at all, so he didn't say anything...

"More than 20 minutes have passed, and he hasn't come back yet. I was afraid that something happened to him, so I came to the bathroom to look for him...

"As soon as I entered the men's room, I saw him like this..."

Tang Hui recalled Deng Xu's tragedy when he first entered the men's room, and his face turned pale again.

"Before this, did you hear any strange noises from the bathroom?" Wen Mi asked.

"No."

The person who answered Wen Mi leisurely, no need to look, Wen Mi already knew who it was - it was Yue Qingyue.

"When Deng Xu went to the bathroom, were you all in the banquet hall?" Wen Mi asked again.

"It should be...all of them here." Yue Qingyue said with a half-smile.

"They're all there, anyway, the people next to me are there."

"The people next to me are also there."

They were all in the banquet hall when everyone was talking to themselves to testify that Deng Xu had an accident.

"Reporter Wen, where were you when Deng Xu's accident happened?" Yue Qingyue asked provocatively.

Wen Mi looked at him inexplicably.

Everyone in the banquet hall knew where she was.

What's the point of asking this question on purpose.

Before Wen Mi answered, Gao You couldn't hold back her anger.

"Wen Mi, me, Dai Shangxin's parents, and his girlfriend, who doesn't know where the five of us are! What do you mean by asking? Do you suspect that the five of us are murderers?"

Gao You didn't say that Yue Qingyue suspected that Wen Mi was the murderer, but deliberately involved the five of them.

Dai Zhong and Duan Xianhong really couldn't stand such slander.

"Reporter Wen has been with us all the time. We stayed in Shangxin's room. We didn't come down from upstairs until we heard the sound of a man screaming." Dai Zhong said.

Duan Xianhong said: "I don't know what you mean by asking this question? Do you suspect that we are murderers covering each other? Are we murderers who will kill our own son?!"

While talking, Duan Xianhong lost control of her emotions and began to cry.

"I just wonder if Reporter Wen happened to encounter something when he went to the bathroom while examining the body." Yue Qingyue explained unhurriedly.

"Even if I want to go to the bathroom, I won't run from the third floor to the bathroom on the first floor, what's more, I haven't been to the bathroom, so your suspicion is unfounded." Wen Mi said.

"That's it, that's good, I was suspicious." Yue Qingyue said without any sincerity.

Wen Mi ignored him no more.

She examined Deng Xu's body carefully.

In order not to destroy the murder scene and affect the police's subsequent search and verification of the scene, Wen Mi did not touch Deng Xu's body with her hands, but checked from a distance.

Deng Xu's fatal injury should be the knife on his back.

Although Deng Xu was kneeling in front of the toilet and his head was pushed into the toilet, his hair was not wet.

In other words, the murderer just put Deng Xu into this position, and didn't push his head into the toilet to torture him.

why?

First of all, he must be afraid that there is not enough time. If someone comes to the bathroom suddenly, the murderer will be exposed.Secondly...

Wen Mi noticed what was in Deng Xu's mouth.

"There's something in his mouth!" Wen Mi raised her voice a little.

"What?" Everyone asked.

A few boldly approached, Yue Qingyue and Hu Ruiquan stood at the back and watched.

"Looks like...a poker card." Wen Mi tilted her body and looked at what was in Deng Xu's mouth.

"Playing cards?" Everyone was puzzled: "Are you sure they are playing cards?"

Wen Mi is actually not sure.

Deng Xu's head was in the toilet, and the toilet blocked the playing card. She could only vaguely distinguish that it seemed to be a playing card.

"Not sure, I can't see clearly." Wen Mi said truthfully.

"Take it out and see!"

Before Wen Mi had time to object, the person who spoke had already grabbed Deng Xu's head and took out what was in his mouth.

That's not a playing card, it's just the same size as a playing card.

One side has a pattern almost the same as that of playing cards, and the other side is printed with Pinocchio with a long nose.

"Pinocchio..." Wen Mi murmured to herself.

Why did the murderer put Sepinocchio's card in Deng Xu's mouth?
Did he lie about something?
"Is Deng Xu a liar?" Wen Mi asked Tang Hui.

Tang Hui said unhappily: "I have known Deng Xu for more than ten years, and I know him very well. He is a very upright person and never lies."

Wen Mi is suspicious of his words.

In this world, there is no one who never lies.

Sometimes people also tell some well-intentioned lies that the scene requires.

"Has Deng Xu recently said anything about what he thought was a white lie, and made enemies with others?" Wen Mi asked again.

Tang Hui was even more unhappy: "I have already said that Deng Xu is very upright and never lies. How could he have enmity with others because of lying."

"One of the deceased had rice cake stuffed with minced meat, and another had a Pinocchio card stuffed in his mouth. Reporter Wen, can you see what the murderer wants to express?" Yue Qingyue asked leisurely.
