Chapter 60
The next day, in room 203 of Sullivan's apartment.A middle-aged man was sitting on a single sofa, pulling his hair, with a painful expression: "" That gem was passed down from my grandmother. If I can't get it back, my mother will definitely not be able to bear it. Not so good, Mr. Luo Fei, please help me. "

At this time, Luo Fei and Qin Xiaoman were sitting opposite the middle-aged man.

Luo Fei turned to look at Qin Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, what do you think?"

"Just now this gentleman said that the thief left a note in the box where the gems were lost, claiming to be Lu Buping the Robber." Xiao Man said seriously.

Luo Fei laughed: "Lu Buping? When you see injustice, you draw your sword to help. Now, out of ten theft cases, nine out of ten will call themselves Lu Buping."

"But how do you know it wasn't Lu Buping who did it this time?" Xiaoman asked.

Luo Fei shook his head and ignored Xiao Man: "Mr. Zhao, is your dog sick recently?"

"I'm not sick." After the man finished speaking, he was taken aback for a moment, "Huh? I don't think I said I keep a dog, did I?"

"It's actually very simple, because..."

"Because a few dog hairs stuck to your trousers knees." Xiao Man immediately interrupted Luo Fei, and looked at Luo Fei proudly, "Don't think that you are the only one who can reason, I can do it too."

"If you don't insult the word reasoning, I won't embarrass you in front of outsiders." Luo Fei whispered to Xiaoman.

Xiaoman stared angrily: "You!...Did I say something wrong?"

"Xiaoman, have you compared the difference between cat hair and dog hair?" Luo Fei turned around, took out two small boxes from the third drawer behind him, and handed them to Qin Xiaoman.

Xiaoman took it and opened it to see that there were two clumps of hair: "What are these?"

Afterwards, Luo Fei pointed to the two boxes and said to Xiaomi: "I left it from my previous research. The box on your left hand is made of cat hair, and the box on your right hand is made of dog hair. Look carefully, the cat hair is thinner and softer. It is easy to stick to clothes, and dog hair is much thicker and harder than cat hair, and there is also a very obvious difference in color."

"You mean..." Xiaoman carefully identified the hair on the man's pants according to the characteristics Luo Fei said, "Mr. Zhao has cat hair on the knees of his pants? Then how do you know he has a dog?"

At this time, the phone rang suddenly.

Luo Fei walked over and answered.

"... I won't see him, please don't call again! ... Letters from him? No, I haven't received one... I'll say one last time, I won't see His! Goodbye!"

After Luo Fei finished speaking, he hung up the phone heavily.

"Who is it?" Xiaoman asked.

Luo Fei suddenly raised his face inexplicably: "You are interested, isn't it how I know Mr. Zhao has a dog?"

"I..." Xiaoman raised her head and smiled foolishly, "I'm interested."

Before Luo Fei could sit down, there was another knock on the door.

Before Luo Fei could speak, Wang Susu opened the door and walked in with a stack of envelopes in his hand.

"Luo Fei, there are many letters from you." Wang Susu said and put the letters on the table, then discussed with Xiaoman, "By the way, Xiaoman, my niece returned to Shanghai from England, maybe the day after tomorrow Now, she is used to living in your room. Can you let her squeeze with you?"

Xiaoman nodded with a smile: "Of course it's no problem."

Luo Fei walked over to pick up the envelope, looked at it, shook his head, struck a match, lit the letters, and threw them in the ashtray.

Seeing this, Xiaoman hurriedly picked up the glass of water on the table and poured out the half-burned letter.

"Luo Fei! What are you doing! Burn it without even reading it?" Xiaoman picked up a half-remained envelope, looked at it, and suddenly showed surprise, "The person who wrote the letter was Ouyang Xun? Hey, that's not the police station." The ex-inspector of yours? Why did you burn his letters?"

Luo Fei frowned, then walked quickly to Mr. Zhao, pulled him up and pushed him away.

"Mr. Luo, what are you doing? If you don't help me find the whereabouts of that gem, I won't leave!" Mr. Zhao pleaded, grabbing the door frame.

Luo Fei sighed helplessly: "Your dog is a big watchdog, very ferocious. Since it is not sick, why didn't it bark when a thief came in? There is only one reason, the thief didn't come from the outside. Come in!"

Mr. Zhao looked puzzled: "Didn't it come in from outside? How is it possible?!"

"That's right, of course you think it's impossible, because you and your mother are the only two people in your family." Luo Fei said quickly.

Mr. Zhao looked at Luo Fei in surprise: "This...you know too?!"

"So whether you can accept the truth or not, the person who secretly hid the gem must be your mother." Luo Fei said as he broke Mr. Zhao's hand and closed the door behind his back.

Immediately there was knocking and shouting outside the door.

"Luo Fei, are you right?" Xiaoman asked as she put down the envelope.

Luo Fei leaned against the door and gave Qin Xiaoman a white look: "As for the reason why his mother hid the gems, I think he knows better than anyone else. Take a closer look at the smoke stains on his teeth and the swollen bags under his eyes. It means that he often stays up late recently. In addition, when he spoke just now, he kept rubbing his thumb and index finger, which is a common action of a gambler when he looks at the cards. That is to say, he often gambles all night recently, and he is going to take the money left by his grandmother. The gem was mortgaged, so his mother secretly hid the gem."

At this time, the shouting outside the door became quieter.

Luo Fei said loudly to Xiaoman intentionally at this time: "Xiaoman, if Mr. Zhao's mother suffered any violence, it must be Mr. Zhao who did it. I don't think the police department will just sit idly by!"

"Yes! I remember his appearance." Xiaoman also said in a loud voice.

This time, the silence outside the door gradually returned, and then the sound of distant footsteps sounded.

Luo Fei heard footsteps, and then sat back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

"Luo Fei, you haven't told me yet? Why did you ignore Inspector Ouyang's letters and phone calls?" Xiao Man pushed Luo Fei's arm.

Luo Fei slowly opened his eyes, and said arrogantly, "I want to drink chicken soup."

"Okay! I promise you, tell me, there will definitely be chicken soup tonight!" Xiaoman couldn't help being excited, and approached Luo Fei, like a little girl listening to a story, "I seem to smell the smell of the case .”

Luo Fei turned his head to look at Xiaoman, heaved a long sigh of relief, and then his eyes fell into memories: "That year, a bizarre case happened inside and outside the concession, and the victims were all laughed to death."

"Did you laugh?" Xiaoman's eyes widened, and she grabbed the sofa cushions tightly.

Luo Fei nodded: "Furthermore, the victims are all women, and the corpses still have traces of being whipped after death, which is very weird. Inspector Ouyang was afraid of causing social panic, so he found me and Benjamin. At this time, there were already four One person was killed, one person disappeared, and the identities of these five people were different, so the clues were confusing for a while, and we were under great pressure at the time."

After Luo Fei finished speaking, he looked at the half of the envelope that Ouyang Xun had placed on the tea table with conflicting eyes.

"Then what happened afterwards? Has the murderer been caught?" Xiaoman asked impatiently.

Luo Fei said a little lonely: "You are so diligent and studious, if the murderer is caught, you must have seen this case in the file of the police station."

"The murderer was not caught?"

Luo Fei nodded: "Yes, Inspector Ouyang dismissed the special case team and gave the victim's family a large amount of compensation."

"You said there were five missing women on the wall, and four of them died. What about the fifth one?" Xiaoman asked.

"I heard he's not dead." Luo Fei looked downcast.

"I heard?" Xiaoman couldn't help being a little surprised, she didn't think this was Luo Fei's style of checking to the end.

"The murderer did not come out to commit another crime. Ouyang Xun said that the fifth victim was rescued, but I have never seen this victim in the patrol room, so I don't know if what Ouyang Xun said is true or not."

Between the words, Xiaoman found that Luo Fei's tone was a bit strange. Whenever he mentioned this Ouyang Xun, he always felt lukewarm. Normally, this is not the attitude he should have towards his old boss.Even if he is the current Inspector Javert, Xiaoman can still see that Luo Fei, who is outspoken on the surface, still respects Javert in his heart.

"Inspector Ouyang made the call just now?" Xiaoman asked again.

Luo Fei nodded.

"Since Detective Ouyang wants to see you so much, why don't you go and meet him?" Xiaoman asked tentatively.

"Because I can't forgive him."

"Forgive?" Hearing Luo Fei's words, Xiaoman felt inexplicably tense, "What do you mean? What did he do to you?

"Since you are willing to reason, can't you see the mystery of this case?" Luo Fei looked at Xiaoman.

"Mystery?" Xiaoman raised her face, frowning and lost in thought.

Luo Fei looked at Xiaoman's pensive look, smiled, and then reminded: "There are two obstacles in this case. One is that Ouyang Xun inexplicably withdrew the task force and stopped investigating the murderer of this case. The other is the murderer. All of a sudden, the drums and banners died down, and they stopped coming out to commit crimes.”

"It's very strange. If Inspector Ouyang continues to investigate, or the murderer continues to commit crimes, if one of the two factors exists, this case must be a serious case that the patrol room must solve." Xiaoman turned his gaze back to Luo Fei, and clicked Nodded, "According to your analysis, this case is indeed a bit... weird."

"It's a tacit understanding." Luo Fei said coldly.

"Ah?" Hearing Luo Fei's concise explanation, Xiaoman didn't react for a while.

"I'm starting to lose my mind again." Luo Fei looked at Xiaoman, tapped his temples with his fingers, and continued to explain, "The weird feeling you mentioned is actually a tacit understanding, which was reached between Ouyang Xun and the murderer." There was a kind of tacit understanding, and it would be more accurate to say that they reached a dirty deal."

After hearing this, Xiaoman frowned even tighter: "Impossible?"

"It's impossible to say, but you also know in your heart that there is only one truth, which is what I just said." Luo Fei got up and walked towards the wine cabinet.

"So you don't want to forgive him, and you don't want to see him." At this time, Xiaoman was also a little disappointed. After seeing this case and the bank diamond theft case, it was still different. In Luo Fei's mind, it had already happened. Contradictory knot.

At this time, there was another knock on the door.

Afterwards, Benjamin hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

Luo Fei shook the red wine glass and glanced at Benjamin: "You also found it for Ouyang?"

Immediately afterwards, Benjamin's words shocked the two people in the room!
"Inspector Ouyang is dying, and I just want to see you for the last time."
