From Qingyang City to the east, more than [-] miles away, there is Jiuhou Mountain with towering trees and beautiful scenery. Seven or eight years ago, the local government seized the business opportunity and built it into a four-star scenic spot. It can attract a large number of tourists to come for sightseeing.

There is an ancient village at the foot of the mountain, called Jiuhou Village, and the village chief's surname is Meng, and his name is Meng Zhaonian.Before liberation, Meng Zhaonian's father was the head of the village, and later Meng Zhaonian became the head of the village again, and he had some influence in the village.

After the completion of the scenic spot, Meng Zhaonian invested in the construction of a Jiuhou Mountain hot spring resort at the foot of Jiuhou Mountain, and the business was flourishing.

Now that Meng Zhaonian is nearly sixty years old, the business of the villa is mainly managed by his eldest son-in-law Huang Jingui and second son Meng Kai, and he himself becomes the shopkeeper.

The second day of June this year is Meng Zhaonian's 60th birthday.

To show his filial piety, Meng Kai not only entertained guests and friends to celebrate his father's birthday, but also set up a running water banquet for the whole village. Anyone who kowtowed to his father's birthday could join the banquet.

Huang Jingui, the son-in-law, naturally would not miss this opportunity to curry favor with his father-in-law.He knew that his father-in-law likes to be lively and vain, so he spent a lot of money to hire the most famous flower drum theater troupe in Qingyang City, as well as a monkey theater troupe from other places. sky.All of a sudden, people in eight villages from ten miles away were startled. There were so many spectators, it was so lively.

Among other things, that monkey show alone was an eye-opener.

The Meng family's house is an old-fashioned courtyard house built on the hillside, not far from the hot spring resort run by the Meng family. It is the ancestral property of the Meng family.Three generations of Meng Zhaonian's family now live here.

In front of the gate of the house, there is an open space, and the stage is set up on this open space.

On the second day of June, Huagu opera was sung on the stage for a whole day. After dinner, there was only a sound of gong on the stage, and the monkey opera started on time.

The monkey troupe consists of one person and three monkeys.The class leader is a pock-marked man with a Henan accent. He smiles a little when he sees people, and he can tell at a glance that he is a person who has been around for a long time.

The three monkeys under him are called Monkey Two, Monkey Three and Monkey Four.He himself called himself Hou, Boss Hou.

The first program is the Monkey King's Birthday Blessing.

Boss Hou held the gong in his hand and tapped it lightly. The three monkeys somersaulted and juggled dragonflies on the stage for a while, and Boss Hou suddenly yelled: "Man, hurry up and pay homage to Master Meng's birthday, when will you wait? "

The three monkeys got the order, and immediately scratched their ears and chirped, chirping and chirping, as if they were discussing what birthday gift to bring to their master's birthday.Suddenly a monkey pointed towards the stage. There was a small table beside the stage. On the small table was a large porcelain bowl with tea in it and a lid on it.

The second monkey patted his head, and seemed to have an idea, he jumped over, lifted the lid of the bowl, and suddenly poured the tea in the bowl down the stage.Sitting by the stage was a country boy who was watching a monkey show. Because of the hot weather, he was shirtless and only wore a pair of underpants.Before he could react, a bowl of tea was poured over his head.

Even though it was just cold tea, the young man was in a panic.

Monkey made a face at him, and the audience couldn't help laughing.

Hou Er Er put the lid on the bowl, took the porcelain bowl, walked down the stage step by step, and walked in front of Meng Zhaonian.

The other two monkeys followed respectfully, one on the left and the other on the right.

Meng Zhaonian was sitting in the middle of the first row below the stage watching a play, when he suddenly saw a monkey walking towards him with an empty bowl, he didn't know what it meant.The monkey was quite human, brought the big bowl in front of him, and motioned him to blow "Xian Qi" into the bowl.

Meng Zhaonian breathed suspiciously, the monkey lifted the lid of the bowl, and a big birthday peach suddenly appeared in the bowl.

The magic of turning an empty bowl into a peach is not uncommon, but it is a bit unbelievable for a monkey to do this magic.

The audience applauded and applauded.

Meng Zhaonian took the birthday peach in surprise, and Monkey Two raised a "hand" and saluted him respectfully.

Meng Zhaonian seemed to tease it on purpose, shrugging his shoulders and shrinking his neck, squeaking loudly, and imitating its appearance, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks in return for a monkey salute.

Meng Zhaonian was short and thin. Although he was over [-] years old, he was still in good spirits. This monkey gift was echoed so vividly that everyone burst into laughter.

The second program is a hozen singing drama.

Boss Hou beat the gong for a circle, and the three monkeys had already changed into costumes and got out of the box.

Boss Hou choked his voice and sang in a high-pitched voice: "Here I am, Brother Hai, it's a good comparison—" Monkey Two in an apron twisted his waist and hips, raised his orchid fingers, and bowed his head shyly.

Boss Hou sang loudly again: "Sister Hu, who do you compare me to, Luo Hoho?"

The "hand" of Monkey Sanyi wearing a straw hat carried the pole across his shoulder, and the other "hand" gently wrapped around Monkey Two's waist.

The monkey and the man sang together, and the audience realized that the monkey was actually performing the Flower Drum Opera "Liu Hai Chopping Firewood" that the troupe had performed on this stage during the daytime.

Humans and monkeys cooperated with each other, singing well and acting funny, and adults and children in the audience were already bursting into laughter.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the monkey show ended.Because the performance will continue tomorrow night, the monkey troupe was arranged to live in the backyard of Meng's house.

Early the next morning, while Meng Zhaonian was asleep, the door of the room was suddenly banged.

When he opened the door, it was his daughter-in-law Qiaozhen who called the door.

Qiaozhen cried, and said, "Dad, go and see quickly, something happened to Meng Kai in the backyard."

Meng Zhaonian was taken aback, and asked, "It's so early in the morning, what happened?"

Qiaozhen said, "He, he was beaten to death."

"what?"

Meng Zhaonian was so taken aback that he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he ran to the backyard in crumpled pajamas.

In the back yard, there is a small garden in which some flowers and plants are planted and some stones are piled up.

There was a bamboo recliner on the shallow grass by the rockery, and there was a person lying on it, it was Meng Kai.From afar, it looks like he is asleep.

But Meng Zhaonian ran to take a closer look, only to find that the sky cap above his son's head had been smashed open by something, and bright red blood and white brains had flowed to the ground.When I touched my body, it was cold and cold, and I had been out of breath for a long time.

Qiaozhen cried, "After the monkey show ended last night, Meng Kai drank some wine and said that the weather was too hot and the bedroom was too stuffy even though the air conditioner was turned on, so he moved a recliner to the backyard to enjoy the cool. Because he used to go to the backyard outdoors So I didn’t think much about it at the time, so I went to sleep alone. I didn’t find out that he hadn’t returned all night until I woke up this morning. I felt a little strange, so I went to the backyard to look for him, but I saw him, saw him ..."

Meng Zhaonian yelled, "Son..." and he fell limply on the ground and passed out.After hearing the news, Huang Jingui rushed to pinch his people, and at the same time told them to call the police.

After receiving the call to the police, the director of the local police station was the first to rush to the crime scene.

The director brought people to the scene to see that the deceased was the son of Meng Zhaonian, a well-known local entrepreneur. He felt that the case was a bit big, so he called people to control the scene and called the city bureau for help.

Not long after, Fan Zetian, head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau, arrived with people, and the on-site investigation began immediately.

The forensic doctor Lao Qin went up to examine the corpse and said: "The deceased was pierced through the skull with a blunt instrument, resulting in craniocerebral injury and died. The time of death was roughly between 12:3 last night and [-]:[-] this morning. The murder weapon may be angular. Bricks and stones, or pointed hammers or something."

Fan Zetian asked someone to search the scene carefully, but found no murder weapon left by the murderer.

The footprints on the shallow grass at the scene were messy, and the trace inspectors extracted several footprints, all of which were left by members of the Meng family.

The scene of the crime was in the backyard of Meng’s house. There were two high walls in the north-south direction, and two rows of huts on the east and west sides.

A small garden is surrounded in the middle, with flowers and grass, rockery and flowing water. If it was before liberation, this should be regarded as a mansion.

According to Qiaozhen, her husband, Meng Kai, went to the back garden to enjoy the shade after 11:5 last night, and when she found out that her husband had an accident, it was around 10:[-] this morning.The servants living in the backyard were tired all day yesterday, so they cleaned up after the monkey show last night, and went back to their rooms to sleep after the master's rest. It should be around [-]:[-] at that time.

At this time, Meng Kai probably hadn't come to the backyard to enjoy the shade, so the servants didn't see him in the backyard.

The servants usually wake up around 6 am, so when Qiaozhen found her husband's body in the backyard at 5 am, the servants were still asleep.Maybe it was because they slept too deeply, the servants didn't hear the abnormal noise at night.

Fan Zetian's assistant, policewoman Wen Li, told the captain that she had checked carefully and found that there were no traces of climbing on the surrounding walls. According to the gatekeeper, after the gate was closed at 10 o'clock last night, no one came in or out until this morning when the incident occurred. .

Fan Zetian frowned, glanced at the grieving Meng family from a distance, and asked her, "You mean, the murderer is in this house?"

Wen Li nodded and said in a low voice, "That's why I doubt it."

The police quickly found out the basic situation of the Meng family.

Meng Zhaonian's wife died early, and there was only one daughter and one son by his side. The eldest daughter still lived in her natal family after marrying Huang Jingui. Meng Kai is the younger brother, 38 years old this year.Meng Kai is mainly responsible for managing internal affairs at his father's hot spring resort, while his brother-in-law Huang Jingui is mainly responsible for running outside business.

Meng Kai was extremely strict with the people below, but if he had any deadly enemies, he couldn't even talk about it.

Fan Zetian thought for a while and said to Wen Li, "Go and call Huang Jingui over, I have something to ask him."

Wen Li was taken aback, and said, "Don't you suspect that his brother-in-law is the murderer?"

Fan Zetian said: "At least on the surface, after Meng Kai's death, he is the biggest beneficiary."

The door-to-door son-in-law Huang Jingui is about 40 years old, narrow-eyed, bald, and looks sophisticated.Fan Zetian called him aside and asked straight to the point: "Where were you between 12:3 last night and [-]:[-] this morning?"

Huang Jingui looked astonished, and asked, "You suspect that I'm a murderer?"

Fan Zetian said: "Before the case is investigated, anyone may be suspected by the police."

Huang Jingui snorted, and said, "It was already midnight, and I was sleeping in the bedroom in the west wing of the front yard."

Fan Zetian asked, "Can anyone prove it?"

Huang Jingui said, "To be honest, no one can prove it."

Fan Zetian asked, "Where's your wife?"

Huang Jingui said, "I slept with her in separate bed three years ago—don't tell the old man that."

Fan Zetian was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "I heard that your father-in-law plans to retire after the age of 60. The resort and other properties he runs will be handed over to Meng Kai or you, but who will be handed over to? No final decision has been made."

Huang Jingui's face twitched, he glanced at him and said, "You understand it quite comprehensively, there is indeed such a thing."

Fan Zetian said: "In other words, once Meng Kai dies, all the property of the Meng family will fall into your hands."

Huang Jingui finally lost his temper, and said angrily, "What do you mean? No matter who is in charge of the Meng family in the future, Meng Kai will be my brother-in-law after all. How could I kill him?"

Just when Huang Jingui was about to get mad, the detective Xiao Li not far away suddenly yelled at Fan Zetian: "Captain Fan, come and take a look."

Fan Zetian hurried over. Xiao Li took a digital camera and asked him to look at the photos on the display screen, saying: "This is a shoe print of size 42 just taken by the trace personnel from the scene. I have already asked, Meng Nobody in the house wears a size 42."

Fan Zetian asked, "Where are the footprints?"

Xiao Li said, "It's right next to the couch of the deceased."

Fan Zetian took a closer look and said, "This seems to be the shoe print of Jiefang shoes."

Xiao Li said: "Yes, it is indeed a pair of 42-size Jiefang shoes."

Huang Jingui came over to look curiously, and said, "No one in our family wears Jiefang shoes." After walking around, he suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, it seems that Boss Hou wears Jiefang shoes, how much?" Don't know the size, but it looks pretty big."

Fan Zetian suddenly became interested and asked, "Who is Boss Hou?"

Huang Jingui said: "It was the leader of the monkey show troupe that we invited to perform the monkey show for the old man's birthday. Because he had to perform for three consecutive days, he stayed here last night."

Fan Zetian asked, "Which room did he live in last night?"

Huang Jingui pointed his fingers and said, "In this backyard, there is a vacant room in the row of houses where the servants live, so I put him in."

Fan Zetian asked, "What about others?"

Huang Jingui looked around, frowned and said, "It's strange, I just saw him crowded among the surrounding servants, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?"

Fan Zetian screamed that it was not good, thinking that the murderer escaped under our noses?Quickly asked: "Boss Hou, what is his origin? What does he look like?"

Huang Jingui said: "Maybe in his 40s, with a black face, a strong body, and a Henan accent. I just saw his performance on the street and thought it was good, so I invited him here. I don't know his background. Oh, by the way, I took a video of the monkey show last night, and there is a shot of Boss Hou in it.” He hurried back to the house, took out a DV player, and played the video of the monkey king’s birthday greetings he took last night. show him.

Fan Zetian saw the frontal shot of Boss Hou in the video, so he called Wen Li and a few investigators over to let them see Boss Hou's face clearly, and was about to allocate police forces to search around when he saw Boss Hou holding up his trousers and coming out. He walked out of the toilet without haste.Without saying a word, Xiao Li and another big criminal policeman rushed over and pinned him to the ground.

Boss Hou screamed in pain, "Oh, what are you doing, what are you doing?"

Fan Zetian looked at his feet and saw that he was wearing a pair of size 42 Jiefang shoes, so he squatted in front of him and asked, "Did you kill Meng Kai?"

Boss Hou spat out the sand in his mouth, shouted out his injustice, and said: "I have no grievances or enmities with him, why kill him?"

Fan Zetian asked, "If it wasn't you, why did you run away?"

Boss Hou shouted: "Who escaped, didn't I just stand by and watch? Just now I felt sick to my stomach, so I ran to the toilet and squatted for a while."

Fan Zetian asked: "If you didn't kill someone, why did you leave your footprints on the couch where Meng Kai slept?"

Boss Hou said: "It turns out that this is why you suspect me. There is no air conditioner in the room I live in, and I don't even have a fan. I was very hot in the middle of the night last night, so I went out for a walk in the yard. I found Young Master Meng lying here to enjoy the cool, so I went over to say hello to him, chatted a few words, then there was a bit of wind, and I felt cold, so I went into the room to sleep."

Fan Zetian asked, "When did this happen?"

Boss Hou said: "It should be around 12:[-] at night. When I left, I asked Master Meng when he would go back to sleep. He seemed to be drunk and said he was allergic to the air conditioner, so he wanted to cool off outside."

Fan Zetian asked, "Is there anyone else around at that time?"

Boss Hou shook his head and said, "There is no one else, just the two of us."

Fan Zetian asked: "After you returned to your room, did you hear any abnormal noises in the yard outside? For example, footsteps, screams, etc.?"

Boss Hou said: "No, I fell asleep soon after returning to my room, and I didn't hear anything."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Fan Zetian frowned and walked away.Wen Li came up from behind and asked, "Captain Fan, what do you think of this man?"

Fan Zetian said: "This person has been around for a long time, and he is used to strong winds and waves, so he can't ask questions easily, and now we don't know his details at all, and we don't even know his real name. You ask someone to take him back to the City Bureau , investigate carefully."

The police took away Boss Hou, and at the same time transported Meng Kai's body to the funeral home for autopsy.

Before the whole Meng family could get over the joy of celebrating Meng Zhaonian's [-]th birthday, they fell into the grief of the tragic death of their relatives.

When Meng Zhaonian lost his son in old age, he was hit hard and fell ill in bed.

Huang Jingui invited a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to check his pulse. He said that it was caused by excessive grief, stagnation of liver qi, and imbalance of yin and yang. Take it easy.

After tossing and tossing for a whole day, it wasn't until evening that Meng Zhaonian drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor before falling into a drowsy sleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw a huge monkey rushing towards him with bared teeth.

He screamed in fright, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to realize that he had had a nightmare, and his body was already covered in cold sweat.After lying down, my heart was still pounding, and I couldn't fall asleep anymore.

He turned his head to look out the window, the sky had turned slightly pale.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly slammed.

Startled, Meng Zhaonian got up and opened the door. Standing at the door was his eldest daughter, Meng Jiao.

Meng Jiao cried and shouted: "Dad, it's not good, something happened to Jingui, Jingui, he, he was also crushed to death..."

Meng Zhaonian was stunned: "There is such a thing?"

Followed her daughter through the long corridor to their husband and wife's room, and saw her son-in-law, Huang Jingui, sleeping on the bed wearing a tank top and shorts, with a hole in the top of his head, blood and brains flowing onto the pillow, and his death was the same as Meng Kai's. exactly the same.

Meng Zhaonian trembled all over, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Meng Jiao cried: "I don't know, I saw his door was open this morning, so I went in to have a look, but he..."

Meng Zhaonian asked: "You slept in the same bed with him, how could you not know?"

Meng Jiao lowered her head and said, "Dad, I actually slept with him in separate beds three years ago. He sleeps in this room, and I sleep in the room outside."

Meng Zhaonian beat his chest and stomped his feet, looked up to the sky and sighed, "You, you... are really going to piss me off!"

After the Meng family called the police, Fan Zetian from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau quickly brought people over.

After investigating the scene, the police found that Huang Jingui, like his brother-in-law Meng Kai, had been pierced through the skull with the sharp point of a blunt instrument, resulting in craniocerebral injury and death.

The time of death is also around 12:3 midnight to [-]:[-] am.The floor at the scene had been trampled by members of the Meng family, and the footprints were messy, so it was impossible to extract footprints useful to the police.

According to Meng Jiao, under normal circumstances, the husband will close the door when he sleeps.But this morning she found that the door of her husband's room was ajar and not locked. She felt a little strange, so she opened the door and went in to have a look. She didn't realize that something had happened until she saw the blood on the pillow.
