Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 37 The answer is actually obvious

Two days later, Jonah brought me the transcript of the conversation compiled by Gao Jing.

"How did you have it?" I was surprised.

"He came to my office to check the documents. Then he left and the things fell on the floor. I immediately picked them up and took the opportunity to make a copy for you. Haha, I can't let him down. Of course, I will send the original to him immediately." I went back, and he pretended to thank me." Jonah smiled and gnawed on a huge red apple.

He did it on purpose, and I was secretly delighted.

"Hey, what's that in your hand?" Jonah asked, staring at the "Beauty Tips" in my hand.

"Didn't you see the cover?" I put the magazine on the table and picked up the conversation record.

"I thought you only read "ELLE" and "Vogue!" Jonah bit the apple with his mouth, picked up the magazine, flipped through it, and dropped it.

"Of course I don't read this magazine to learn the beauty knowledge in it," I smiled and sat down on the sofa, "I'm looking for someone. And I've found it." "Who?"

"Murderer." I said.

"What? The murderer?" Jonah stared wide-eyed, immediately put the apple on the table, and began flipping through the magazine, "Who is it? Where is it?"

"I'm not sure yet. I'll talk about it after I've finished reading this." As I said that, I picked up the conversation log and flipped through it quickly, and immediately found what I was looking for. This thing is really impossible to hide. I threw the conversation record aside and said, "Okay, now I've watched it."

"Damn, are you an e-reader?" Jonah yelled at me.

"I just need to look at one place." I laughed.

"Where?" Jonah was confused.

"It's a list of things that everyone carries with them."

"Why do you want to know this?"

"I'm looking for insecticide," I said.

"Could this guy be so stupid that after poisoning, he still brought the insecticide with him, and let the police record it?" Jonah looked puzzled.

"Of course he didn't bring the whole bottle of insecticide, but he brought the container of insecticide. Because the insecticide is liquid, he must find a container." I said triumphantly, "In it, Only one person has such a container. Look for it."

Jonah showed an interested expression, and immediately flipped through their carry-on list.

Zhang Ximin: lipstick, compact, mirror, mobile phone, tissue, wallet, magazine

Yue Fei: Wallet, car keys, chewing gum, mobile phone, paper towel, silk scarf

Cai Sheng: camera, mobile phone, Tylenol cold medicine, two newspapers, wallet, pharmacy cash receipt (indicating the purchase of a box of Tylenol cold medicine and a bottle of eye drops)
Wang Qingsheng: mobile phone, bus card, wallet, a book, a bottle of mineral water, two supermarket advertising papers
After 2 minutes, Joe raised his head and cursed: "Damn it! Sure enough, someone brought this thing."

"Yeah," I said, "it's actually quite easy. It's just that we didn't pay attention at first. After finishing, although he threw the things away immediately, there was still evidence on the shopping list. The answer is actually obvious. "I said triumphantly.Now, I am hesitant to call Gao Jing.So I asked Jonah, "How is Gao Jing going?"

"Looks like it's almost over."

is it?No wonder he was willing to "hand out" me the transcript of the conversation.snort!I decided to give him a call.

It's 9pm and he seems to be on his way.

"Where are you?" I asked him.

"I'm going home now, is there anything wrong?"

"I already know who the murderer is."

He laughed.

"Then I'll come over." He said, and added, "Is there any supper?"

"How about boiled eggs with fermented glutinous rice?" I was a little greedy when I heard it.

"Okay, I want more wine. See you later." He happily agreed, and hung up the phone in a good mood. I guess he has already guessed the answer, otherwise he would not be so lively.

Twenty minutes later, he rang the doorbell, still holding a large grapefruit in his hand.

"Is this for me?" I asked knowingly.

"I heard that your refrigerator needs grapefruit peels to deodorize." He smiled and lightly bumped my head with a grapefruit.

"Okay, who is the murderer?" He tapped the conversation record with his fingers and asked seriously.

"Cai Sheng." I answered briefly.

He seemed taken aback, but I couldn't see whether it was surprise or doubt.

"How do you know it's him? Have you seen him?!" he asked impatiently.

"No, I haven't seen him since dinner for six," I said.

"Then how do you know it's him? Just based on this?" He pointed to the conversation record with his eyes.

"It's just one of them. And this one!" I toss the Beauty Tips at him.

"What is this?" He asked impatiently flipping through the "New Knowledge of Beauty".

"Please turn to page 19." I ordered him.

Asking him to flip through a beauty magazine was like forcing him to put on makeup. He looked uncomfortable, but after glancing at me, he reluctantly turned to page 19.He must think this matter is very boring, how could he think that the key to solving the case lies in this ten yuan beauty magazine?The page 19 I asked Gao Jing to read was actually an article on how to teach girls to make up, with color photos attached to each step. Although I knew the clue was on this page, I couldn’t find it unless I looked carefully.

"What's there?" Sure enough, Gao Jing stared at the article titled "Teaching You to Make a Beautiful Date Makeup" for a long time but couldn't find anything he was interested in.I had already guessed that he would be like this.

"Look at the slit!"

"Seam?!" He yelled suspiciously, pushed open the middle of the magazine, and finally cursed, "Damn it!"

"Did you see it?"

"These photos were originally taken by Cai Sheng." He said, then looked back at me, "But what does that mean? He was a freelance photographer."

"I heard from our former colleagues that Zhang Ximin claimed to have met a man online, and this man gave her two seasons of "New Knowledge of Beauty".

"Oh, what does that mean?" He was still confused.

"Which man would buy this kind of magazine? And buy it every issue? Of course it is someone who works for this magazine! Because he didn't buy it, but he got it from the magazine. I heard that Zhang Ximin's boyfriend once gave After reading a magazine like hers, I immediately became suspicious, so I wanted to buy a magazine to check it out, and it turned out that it was indeed the case. Cai Sheng took photos for this magazine in his spare time." I picked up the "Beauty New Knowledge" "Flip to the copyright page, "See, here are three special authors and photographers every time, and Cai Sheng is among them."

I saw him straighten his face, and I thought it was very funny.

"Then why did you let me read page 19? Why don't you just turn to here?" He said angrily.

"My lord, please forgive me, I just want to test your observation ability." I smiled.

"Don't call me that, every time you call me that, it's not good." He glared at me indignantly.

"Okay, let's take a look at this photo, Mr. Gao." I held back a smile and pointed to Cai Sheng's photo.

"He didn't wear glasses," Gao Jing said.

"Yes. But on the dinner for six, he wore glasses. Do you know why?"

"How would I know?" Gao Jing had an impatient expression.

"His eyes are inflamed." I pointed out to him the short article on the copyright page of the magazine. In this short personal introduction, Cai Sheng said in a relaxed tone, "Because of eye inflammation, he recently wore a I wore black-rimmed glasses, but the editor asked me for a photo, I still gave him the old photos, I think I am more handsome without glasses, what do you guys think?"

Gao Jing stopped talking, he looked at me and waited for me to continue.

"Because his eyes were inflamed, he needed to buy eye drops. Insecticide is a liquid, and a container must be used. I looked at everyone's carry-on items attached to the transcript of the conversation, and he was the only one who brought eye drops. Water bottle." I finally got my thoughts out.

"He didn't bring it. Where does it say that he brought an eyedrop bottle?" Gao Jing asked coldly. He didn't look through the copy of the conversation record, but looked at me.

"Isn't there a bottle of eye drops written on the cash register at the pharmacy? Didn't you see it? Although he threw away the eye drops bottle, he forgot to dispose of the cash register at the pharmacy too. Maybe it was too late, or Forgot." I turned to the transcript of the conversation and pointed to the page I was looking for. "And I remember Zhang Ximin said that she had a cold that day. He said he had a box of cold medicine that he just bought, which meant that he went to buy medicine in the afternoon, but obviously, he didn't have a cold, so he probably went to the pharmacy to buy eye drops."

"En." He replied vaguely, without even looking at the list.

His attitude made me suspicious, but I didn't want to get into it for the time being, so I continued: "Okay, let me start from the beginning, in fact, Cai Sheng knew Zhang Ximin before the dinner for six people, and he also gave her two seasons of "Beauty Beauty" New knowledge."

"Taking photos for this magazine does not prove that he is the man who delivered the magazine to Zhang Ximin." Gao Jing immediately refuted me, his words were completely preposterous, and deliberately raised the bar.

"Of course they know each other. I took this guy's photo and went to the school where they learn Latin dance. They all proved that Cai Sheng and Zhang Ximin danced there." I said angrily.

"You finally admitted that you went to investigate the case yourself, right? Who told you to go? Are you a policeman? Who gave you this right? Do you know how dangerous it is?" His voice actually rose.

My anger immediately came up. With his attitude, he still wants to eat my fermented boiled eggs?
"Stop? Instigate! If you keep shouting, I won't make supper for you!" I gave him a hard look.

He immediately fell silent.

"Forget I didn't say it, okay?" After a while, his tone softened.

"Do you want to listen to me?" I asked him coldly.

"Please, Miss Mo." He sighed helplessly.

His expression made me laugh.

"Cai Sheng knew Zhang Ximin, and he probably heard about Chai Ying from Zhang Ximin, so he proposed to have a dinner for six people, saying that he could invite two single friends to attend, and asked Zhang Ximin to invite Chai Ying, and Chai Ying later In order to make up the number of people, he made an appointment with me. Before he went to the appointment, he had prepared the insecticide, but I guess he hadn't made up his mind at that time whether to kill him. He hesitated. Therefore, he first started the conversation. Although Chai Ying himself said Butterfly Valley, I thought about it later, he was the first person to talk about the sensational news. What did he say at that time? Said, 'I seem to remember that the "Big News" weekly magazine reported a very sensational news not long ago, but I can't remember what it was?" He said this, and Chai Ying mentioned Butterfly Valley later."

"Why is he bringing this up?"

"He wanted to test Chai Ying and see her reaction to this incident. He wanted to know whether Chai Ying felt guilty about this incident. He asked Chai Ying a word, and he said, 'Did you cry at that time', Chai Ying said she didn't cry. He felt that Chai Ying had no guilt for the deaths of Wang Chengbing and Mi Xiaochun, so he made up his mind."

"Then when did he poison it?"

"During the fashion show. He seems to be watching the show while reaching for something to eat, because his whole body is facing the stage, which makes people only pay attention to his body and ignore his hands. People think he is He was just watching the show. In fact, he took this opportunity to take the eye drops bottle and drip the insecticide inside into the hot sauce. As for why he chose the hot sauce, it was because he had observed the situation on the table beforehand and found that the hot sauce Only Chai Ying eats it alone. Also, he knows that Chai Ying loves chili sauce, because Zhang Ximin lent him the book written by Chai Ying, and Chai Ying mentioned in that book that she loves chili sauce." I said.

Gao Jing listened carefully.

After I finished speaking, he asked, "Then why is it such a coincidence that he invited two people related to the Butterfly Valley incident?"

"I don't know what Cai Sheng has to do with the Butterfly Valley incident. I don't know why he asked those two people to come. I can only ask him."

He looked at me for a while before smiling.

"Okay, let me tell you why," he said.

"You come to tell me? So, you already know it's him?"

"I also found this bottle of eye drops. We also found the bottle of eye drops with insecticide residue. He never left the scene, so he couldn't leave it anywhere else, so we had to leave it in the In a corner of the hotel, we searched the hotel thoroughly and found it. It has his fingerprints on it, you are all around, he can't wear gloves when poisoning, it will arouse your suspicion. He brought him to the bureau, and he admitted it as soon as he saw the eye drop bottle." Gao Jing said here very proudly, "Mi Xiaochun used to be his model for a while in order to make money, and he promised that if he shoots If these photos can be published and sold at a high price, she will be rewarded generously, but these photos have not been sold so far, so Mi Xiaochun has not been paid. But Mi Xiaochun did not blame him. At that time, he comforted him, and he fell in love with her because of this, but he was rejected after several courtships. He said that when he heard the news of Mi Xiaochun's death, he almost collapsed. He also went to Chai Ying's blog just like you He also saw the photo of the butterfly. He guessed that Chai Ying was there when Mi Xiaochun died, so he hated her. He said that when he knew that Zhang Ximin and Chai Ying were very close, he immediately thought of this plan , In fact, he later interacted with Zhang Ximin largely because he wanted to get to know Chai Ying through Zhang Ximin."

"Then how did he know Mr. Wang and Yue Fei?" Now I asked him instead.

"He went to them after reading Chai Ying's articles and photos. He first went to the Biology Department of X University to find Wang Qingsheng, who studies butterflies, and then found Yue Fei through the camping club."

"Strange, why did he look for them?"

"He wants to know more about the cause and effect of that incident. Wang Qingsheng and Wang Chengbing have always had a good relationship, and Wang Chengbing and Wang Qingsheng often study butterflies together. Yue Fei passed by there occasionally. On the body of the deceased and the family members of the deceased, so I didn't notice that Chai Ying was also there."

"Then why did Cai Sheng invite them to a dinner for six? He thought there should be more and better opportunities to kill Chai Ying."

"That's right. In fact, he didn't want to kill her at the beginning. Those two people are related people anyway. After he saw the photos of Butterfly Valley, he once told those two people his conjecture. He also seems to hate and hate Chai Ying's behavior. He said that he invited them here because he wanted them to get to know Chai Ying, and he didn't intend to kill her. The idea of ​​killing her came on the day of the dinner for six people. It happened suddenly in the afternoon. He said that when he was looking for clothes, he accidentally saw Mi Xiaochun's photo and the note she had left for him. The general content of the note was to tell him not to worry about money. She said she It doesn't matter, because they are friends. In the letter, she also encouraged him to cheer up, believing that he will be a first-class photographer in the future. Cai Sheng said that after reading this note, he wanted to kill Chai Ying, so he prepared Poison, but it was Chai Ying's words that really made him decide. You are right, he said that he was very angry at the time because he felt that Chai Ying didn't feel guilty about it at all. On the contrary, she was very proud. He couldn't bear this, so he made up his mind." Gao Jing said.

"Does he really love Mi Xiaochun that much?" I asked.

"He said that Mi Xiaochun is the kindest woman he has ever seen in his life. 'There is no woman who does not love money, except her', this is his evaluation of Mi Xiaochun."

"Although this case is a premeditated murder, I think it's more accurate to say it was a spur of the moment. He must regret it now." I said.

"Yes, I regret it. However, it is useless to regret. He will never be a first-class photographer." After finishing speaking, Gao Jing sighed.

"So you've already made the interrogation so clear." I also sighed.

He laughed a little wickedly.

Only then did I realize that he deliberately left the conversation record in Jonah's office this afternoon. He was not supporting me to find out the truth at all, but was deliberately playing with me. If he hadn't found the answer, he would never be so generous .

"After talking, where's the supper?" He kicked the chair I was sitting on.

"Fuck you, I won't eat at night!" I ignored him.

"How about treating you to barbecue tomorrow?" He kicked the chair I was sitting on again.

I just want to laugh at the mention of barbecue.

"Okay. BBQ tomorrow." I nodded vigorously.

"What are you laughing at? You have to come." He suspected that I was cheating.

"Why don't I come? Well, I'll cook boiled eggs in Jiuniang." I smiled and ran into the kitchen.
