Chapter 2
I let go of my hanging heart.

This morning, as soon as I went to work and turned on my computer, I suddenly saw a news from a local forum, saying that a homicide occurred in the Haoyuan Community of Xincheng District. A young man was found poisoned and died at home.The name of the deceased was Ma Xiaoma, and he was the driver of a certain agency in our city.According to preliminary investigations by the police, the possibility of suicide has been ruled out.Currently, the case is under further investigation.

When I saw this news, I was almost stunned. I hurriedly called Ma Xiaoma's home phone and mobile phone, but no one answered. It seems that the news is not fictional.

I immediately took a taxi to Haoyuan Community, Xincheng District, where Ma Xiaoma lived, and saw that a cordon had been put up outside his residence on the third floor of a certain residential building. Uniformed police guarded to prevent outsiders from entering.

I asked two colleagues what happened. They only told me that one person died. It happened around nine o'clock last night. It was found that the deceased was killed by the deceased's girlfriend. Kendo revealed.

I went downstairs dejectedly, only to see a girl in a white dress sitting on the cement steps beside the garden in the community, who was Xiaoma's new girlfriend Yanyan.

Yanyan had obviously cried, her eyes were red and swollen.

I sat down next to her and asked her: "Ayan, I heard that you were the first to find out that the pony was killed. What's going on?"

When Yanyan heard my question, she couldn't help crying again, sobbing for a long time before telling me intermittently what happened last night.

Last night, a new movie was screened at the City Theater.

Yanyan bought two tickets, came to Ma Xiaoma's residence, and wanted him to go to the movies with her.But Pony Ma, who usually obeys her, rejects her this time.Because Ma Xiaoma is a football fan, there happened to be an Asian Cup football match at 9:[-] last night.He wanted to stay at home and watch the live broadcast.

Yan Yan pestered him for a long time, but he was not moved.At about 9 o'clock at night, the game started on time, Ma Xiaoma also excitedly took out the peanuts and beer bought after get off work from the refrigerator, and was ready to watch the game to the end.

Seeing that he really refused to go to the movies with her, Yanyan slammed the door angrily and left.

After she took the elevator downstairs, she was still angry. She sat on the edge of the garden in the community and angrily tore the two movie tickets to pieces.

After sitting by the flower garden for about half an hour, she suddenly found that her handbag was still in Pony Ma's house, so she had to take the elevator up again.

When she pushed open the door of Ma Xiaoma's house for the second time, she unexpectedly found that although the TV was on, Ma Xiaoma was foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground. .

She almost cried in fright, and hurriedly shook Ma Xiaoma's body and asked him what's wrong?But Ma Xiaoma didn't respond.

She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called 120 for help.

A few minutes later, the ambulance from the People's Hospital arrived. The doctor made a brief examination, then shook his head and said that it was hopeless and that he was dead.And suggested that she call 110 to call the police.

After the police arrived, they immediately sealed off the scene for investigation.After the forensic examination, it was preliminarily determined that Ma Pony was poisoned by tetramine (commonly known as tetramine), and tetramethyldisulfone tetramine was detected in the dumped beer cans.

Because the ball game started at 9 o'clock in the evening, when Yanyan left, Ma Xiaoma was still alive, and when Yanyan returned around 9:9, Ma Xiaoma had been poisoned and died, so it is speculated that the time of death should be between 9:[-] and [-]:[-] at night. Between [-]:[-].

Later, the police found some clues by visiting other residents on the third floor.

Ma Xiaoma lives in a bungalow with an elevator. The elevator is located at the east end of the corridor, and the west end of the corridor is a staircase that few people take.

Next to the stairs on the third floor is a piano teacher. Every night, many students come to her house to learn piano. The children come and go, so the door of her house is always open.

Last night, a child who was resting and playing at the door after practicing the piano saw a man walking up the stairs with his head down, and walked directly into Ma Xiaoma's house.

At that time, the children had just finished their second piano lesson, which should be around 9:10 in the evening.

When the man walked out of Ma Xiaoma's residence and left by the stairs, the children's 10-minute get out of class time had just ended and they were preparing for the third class that started at 9:20 p.m.

In other words, the man stayed in the pony house for 10 minutes.

At that time, the street lights in the corridor were broken, and the children did not see the man's appearance clearly, but felt that he was taller and thinner.

This mysterious man entered Ma Xiaoma's residence during the period of Ma Xiaoma's death estimated by the forensic doctor. All signs show that he is very likely to be the murderer who poisoned Ma Xiaoma in beer.

Because the stairs and the elevator were in two different directions, Yanyan didn't see the mysterious man.

However, the most incredible thing is that there are security guards at the entrance of the community and surveillance cameras are installed. At the time of the incident, the tall and thin man the children said was not found entering the community.

The police suspected that the suspect might have sneaked into the community in advance, and did not leave immediately after committing the crime, but continued to lurk in the community, so they watched the surveillance video for nearly half a month and searched the community carefully. The suspicious man was not found either.

Surveillance cameras are installed on the surrounding walls of the community, and there is no sign of anyone sneaking in over the wall.

According to various clues, this person cannot be a resident of the community.

That is to say, at about 9:10 last night, a mysterious man fell from the sky in the community and stayed at Ma Xiaoma's house for nearly 10 minutes. After the horse was poisoned to death, he mysteriously disappeared in the closed community.

Although the police conducted multiple investigations, there was no progress in the case.

For some reason, as soon as I heard the words "thin and tall man", a person immediately popped up in my mind-Wai Qi.

I hurriedly asked Yanyan: "Is the suspect man a cripple?"

Yan Yan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, so I don't know. Maybe I have to ask the police."

I immediately took out my mobile phone and called Team Liu of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.In his spare time, Team Liu likes to write some tofu cubes such as police essays, and I also like to write some small articles. Team Liu has participated in several pen meetings held by the local Writers Association with me, and he has become acquainted with me after coming and going. .He knows that I like to write mystery novels, and sometimes he will come to listen to my analysis when encountering some difficult and strange cases.

I asked Team Liu on the phone: "Is the mysterious man suspected of poisoning Ma Xiaoma to death a lame man?"

Team Liu was taken aback: "How do you know? According to a kid who practiced the piano, he did see that guy limping in the dark."

Immediately, I got the bottom line in my heart, and said, "I know who that guy is." Then I told about Wai Qi's two attempts to assassinate Ma Xiaoma.

Team Liu said: "There are such important clues, why didn't you tell me earlier? The murderer must be that guy, you hurry up and take us to arrest him."

I took Team Liu and a few policemen to the vegetable field at the foot of Qingyang Mountain. As usual, the shack where Wai Qi lived was guarded by General Tie.I said that this guy only came back here at night to spend the night, and he blackmailed 2 yuan from Ma Xiaoma, and now he killed someone, I don't know if he will return to this crappy place again.

Team Liu said, let's squat overnight and try it out.So we ambush in a cucumber field not far away.

It was hard to get dark.

At about 11 o'clock at night, I saw a tall and thin figure under the moonlight, limping towards the shed.I gently tugged at the corner of Team Liu's clothes: "This is the guy."

The moment Wai Qi took out the key to open the door, Liu Dui and several criminal policemen rushed forward like lightning, pushed him to the ground, and handcuffed him neatly.

Wai Qi struggled to raise his head, and when he saw me, his eyes almost burst into flames: "Damn, you don't keep your promise."

I kicked him hard: "You are the one who is not trustworthy. Xiao Ma has already given you 2 yuan to settle your girlfriend's car accident case. Why do you want to kill him? Why do you want to kill him?" kill him?"

Wai Qi straightened up and scolded: "Fuck your mother, when did I kill him? After I got the money, I never bothered him again."

I said, "Xiao Ma was poisoned to death at home around 9 o'clock last night. Someone saw that you sneaked into Xiao Ma's house and poisoned him."

Wai Qi yelled: "Fart, I played cards in the poker field all night yesterday, from 7 o'clock in the evening until dawn today. I never left the poker table except to pee in the toilet. How can I kill people? I'm afraid you will be the devil." Come on!"

Liu Dui heard the clue, stared at him and asked, "Did you really play cards all night last night? Who can testify?"

Wai Qi said: "Ostrich, pheasant, and sparrow can all testify to me. They are all poker friends who played cards with me last night. And the proprietress of the poker field can also testify to me."

Team Liu bet Wai Qi into the police car and said, "I won't bother with you last night when you gathered a crowd to gamble. Now take us to your poker friends. If you can prove that what you said is true, we will let you go immediately." about you."

Wai Qi curled his lips: "Just go, whoever is afraid of whom."

As a result, after tossing for most of the night, several poker players of Wai Qi, the owner of the poker room and the waiter all confirmed with one voice that Wai Qi played all night in the poker room last night, and only left the poker table when going to the bathroom, and only three 5 minutes.Now that the proof of his alibi at the time of the Waiqi case can be established, the suspicion on him will naturally be cleared.

Team Liu had no choice but to drive him back in a police car.

Ma Xiaoma's murder case, the most important clue has been broken after investigation here.

According to eyewitnesses, Ma Xiaoma was most likely killed by a tall, thin man who walked with a limp, sneaked into the house from 9:10 to 9:20 at night, and poisoned beer to death.

This man is very much like a crooked seven, but now there is sufficient evidence to prove that this man is not a crooked seven.

Then who is this man who is very similar to Wai Qi in terms of height, shape and physical disability?
The most puzzling thing is that there is no such man in the community where Ma Xiaoma lives. This man should be from outside the community.But how did this person sneak into the community without leaving a trace under the heavy surveillance of security and cameras, and how did he mysteriously disappear after committing the crime?This has become an unsolvable mystery.

At this time, I remembered two words that Ma Xiaoma's ex-girlfriend Ah Hui said.

The first sentence is "There must be some life-and-death enmity with him, which will make such a ruthless hand."

Yes, it would be difficult to do this if it is not a deep hatred for Ma Xiaoma.

But Ma Xiaoma is just a car driver in the unit, and it is almost impossible to have such a life-and-death enmity with others—the only possibility is that car accident, and only in that car accident, in a sense, he was Because of his own fault, he "killed" a person with the car he was driving.

Although the family and the deceased's parents and boyfriend have spent money to settle the matter, but who can guarantee that there will be no other people who want to avenge the deceased?So Ma Xiaoma's murder case, I think, should be investigated from the car accident.

I remembered that the second sentence Ah Hui said was "I always felt that there was something wrong with the car accident that happened to Xiao Ma".

When I heard these words at the time, I didn't take them to heart. Now that I think about it, these words seem to have a lot of meaning.

Did Ah Hui discover something early on?I immediately went to Ah Hui to find out the situation.

Ah Hui is at work.

She obviously knew the news of Xiao Ma's death long ago, and her eyes turned red when she saw me.

I called her to the corridor outside the hotel and asked her: "Last time you told me that there was something wrong with the car accident that Xiao Ma had. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Ah Hui told me that she thought this way only because of one thing.

The night Ma Pony hit and killed Zhu Chunhua, a female worker in the garment factory, Ah Hui was on the night shift and didn't come home until midnight, so she didn't know the details of Ma Pony hitting someone with his car at the time.But she knew that there was a Premier League game that night, Manchester United vs Arsenal, from 10pm to 11:[-]pm.

The time when Ma Xiaoma drove into someone was around 11:50 that night, on his way back to work after sending Yan Yan, who was drunk and unconscious, home.

The hotel where Minister Hu took Yanyan to dinner with his superiors that night was Linquan Villa in the outer suburbs. The road from Linquan Villa to the urban area was very bad. From there, he drove Yanyan back to his residence in the urban area. It takes at least an hour.

After Ma Xiaoma took Yanyan home, he drove back to his work unit. About half an hour later, he had a car accident at the turn of Qingyun Road.

Counting other delays, Ma Xiaoma was already driving Yanyan home at least at 10 o'clock in the evening.

After the car accident, the traffic police detained him at the scene at least until 2 am the next day before allowing him to go home.

In other words, he was on the road from 10:2 p.m. to 10:11 a.m. that night, and it was impossible for him to watch the live broadcast of the Chinese Super League game played from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] a.m.

But at noon the next day, the TV sports channel rebroadcasted the game for the first time. When Ah Hui asked Ma Xiaoma to watch it, Ma Xiaoma said casually: "I've watched the live broadcast a long time ago. It's a 0-0 draw. It's really boring." !"

Ah Hui told me: "The more she thought about Xiao Ma's words, the more she felt strange. During the live broadcast of the game, he was driving Yanyan back. How could it be..."

I couldn't help laughing: "This is what you think is wrong? Actually, it's nothing. There are many ways to watch live football games. You can watch it on your mobile phone, watch it on your car TV, or 'listen' on the radio. Not necessarily. You have to sit in front of the TV to watch it."

Ah Hui listened, and nodded with a vague understanding.

I didn't get any useful clues from Ah Hui, so I decided to retrace the way I took Yanyan home the night Ma Xiaoma got into a car accident.I came to the Linquan villa far away from the urban area where Yanyan was drunk by the leader. I hailed a taxi at the gate of the villa and told the driver the address I found about Yanyan in Xicheng District.

The roads in the suburbs are full of potholes, and it is really not easy to walk.The taxi drove with bumps and bumps for nearly four to ten minutes before driving up the main road in the city.

After walking through the central city for another half an hour, they stopped at the downstairs of Yanyan's residence on Xianghua Street, Xicheng District.

I checked the time and it took a total of 73 minutes.

I asked the driver, if we take this road at night, should we go faster?
The driver said of course, there are few cars at night, and it will take a few hours at most.

I paid the money and got out of the taxi. I saw that Yanyan lived in a commercial and residential building facing the street, with a total of seven floors, with shops on the first floor and residences above.

Yanyan lives on the second floor.

Next to the stairs is a grocery store, and the shopkeeper is a fat old man wearing reading glasses.

I went in and bought a pack of cigarettes and a can of drink. When I was paying, I asked the old man: "Master, there is a girl named Yan Yan who lives on the second floor of your place. She works in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Do you know her?"

The old man said: "Yes, she often comes to my place to buy things, why don't you know me?"

The old man looked at me warily, and suddenly asked, "Are you a policeman?"

I was taken aback, and smiled noncommittally.

The old man opened his eyes wide and asked, "Why, the car accident a few months ago has not been investigated yet?"

I was a little surprised: "Do you know about the car accident?"

The old man nodded and said: "At that time, the traffic police came to ask me several times, of course I knew. It was about 10:10 that night. I had just closed the stall and closed the door when I heard the sound of parking outside. From the car Two people came down, one was a man, walking in leather shoes, the other was a woman, wearing high-heeled shoes, the stairs creaked, but the footsteps were a bit messy, and the woman was probably drunk. Later I heard the sound of opening the door on the second floor, so I knew that Yan Yan had come back. About half an hour later, no, maybe four to five ten minutes later, the man in the leather shoes went downstairs, started the car and left Later, I heard from the police that the car hit and killed a woman on Qingyun Road shortly after driving away from here.”

I frowned and asked, "After that man helped Yanyan go upstairs, it really took four to five or ten minutes before he came down? Do you remember correctly?"

The old man said: "How can I remember wrongly. I am old and suffer from insomnia. I can't sleep in the first half of the night. I put the watch under the pillow and look at it every once in a while until the second half of the night. Just barely sleepy."

Yanyan is a single woman. According to common sense, after Ma Xiaoma helped her upstairs, in order to avoid suspicion, she should leave quickly. Why did he stay in Yanyan's house for so long?

At that time, he hadn't fallen in love with Yan Yan, and the two were just ordinary colleagues, which made people even more suspicious.Could it be...

A bold idea suddenly popped up in my heart, and my mind suddenly opened up.

I felt that I seemed to have touched the edge of the truth, so I hurriedly took a taxi to Haoyuan Community in Xincheng District where Ma Xiaoma lived.

Sitting on the edge of the flowerbed where Yanyan sat that day, I carefully observed the surrounding situation.

The flower garden is facing the elevator hall of the building where Pony Ma lives.I took the elevator up to the third floor where Ma Xiaoma lived, then went down to the second floor, then down to the first floor, and walked down one level at a time, but I didn't find anything wrong.

Go down from the first floor, and there is a negative floor underground, which is the parking lot of the community.

The exit of the parking lot is the back door of the community, which is still monitored by security guards and cameras 24 hours a day.
