I took out a cigarette from the pack of cigarettes and handed it to Wei Shijie. Then I took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for him. Maybe it's because I didn't refute him, or maybe it's because Wei Shijie felt that our reasoning was full of loopholes.
I said, "Strictly speaking, this inference is not valid, and it is not inference!"
"Then what you two said sounded true?" Wei Shijie exhaled a breath of smoke and asked curiously.
I chuckled. "Actually, there are some things that we saw, but you didn't see. We understand, but you don't necessarily understand?"
As I spoke, I also looked at Liao Mengfann. I asked her: "Am I right?"
Liao Mengfann nodded her head in satisfaction, while Wei Shijie looked at me with a stupefied expression. I knew that he wanted to know the meaning of my words, but I waved at him, "When the time comes for you to know, you will naturally know!"
"Oh, right!" I pointed to the video inside the computer, and said to Wei Shijie: "Help me enlarge the video of Wang Xiaoya and Zhuo Yuewen coming to Lee Jingyao's house, and make it the clearest! Can you do it? "
"That's no problem!" "But …" Wei Shijie chuckled at me, his thoughts were clear. I shook my head at him, "Do you still want to compose more?"
"Ugh …" Wei Shijie jumped in fright, "Brother, I was wrong, I'm not going to ask anymore, alright?!"
Liao Mengfann and I looked at each other and smiled. There was still one more video that we didn't see on the computer, so I asked Wei Shijie to turn it on. When I opened it, it was a very long video.
The beginning of the video was a bit dim. The moonlight shone through the window of the balcony, illuminating the spacious living room. The date in the video was 11: 00 PM. It was the night that Wang Xiaoya and the rest visited Lee Jingyao's home.
The video lasted for five minutes. At 11: 05 PM, I saw that Lee Jingyao's bedroom door was slowly being opened by someone. That person opened the door very slowly, probably afraid of waking up the other person inside.
After half a minute, a woman with long hair appeared behind the door. Due to her long hair and the fact that she was currently bent at the waist, in the video, she looked a little scary.
The woman quietly walked out of the room, then she turned around and gently closed the door. Then the woman stood up, turned, and stood in front of the door. She reached out and patted her chest.
Lee Jingyao's exquisite face instantly appeared in front of me, I wasn't surprised that she could appear at this time. From the photo taken with Wang Xiaoya, it could be seen that she actually liked Zhuo Yuewen as well. Merely, she had sneaked out of the room during this period of time, could it be that she wanted to date Zhuo Yuewen secretly?
Just as I was thinking, Lee Jingyao had already arrived in front of Zhuo Yuewen's room. She extended her hand out and knocked on the door, but in the next second, Lee Jingyao dropped his hand.
This was out of my expectations. I saw Lee Jingyao turn around and saw her leaning straight against the door frame of Zhuo Yuewen's room, seeming to be thinking about something. Her body movements and facial expressions were plentiful. Sometimes she crossed her legs, sometimes she looked up. Sometimes she would rub her forehead with her hands in exhaustion, and sometimes she would lean her head against the door frame and close her eyes, looking helpless.
"What is she doing?" Wei Shijie could not hold back and asked as he pointed to the screen.
Liao Mengfann told him: "Lee Jingyao should like Zhuo Yuewen. She wants to confess to Zhuo Yuewen, but her heart is struggling!"
"What's there to struggle about?" Wei Shijie said: "Fine, fine, if it's not fine, then let's drag it out!"
"Heh …" I laughed helplessly in my heart. This Wei Shijie fellow really doesn't care if there's too much of a commotion, why didn't he confess to Le Miaomiao in the first place? Everyone had a helpless pain in their hearts. Maybe Wei Shijie didn't understand, or maybe he was just pretending to be ignorant.
An entire twenty minutes had passed in the video. Lee Jingyao was currently squatting by the door, her hands tightly grabbing onto her hair as she struggled in pain. After a while, when Lee Jingyao suddenly stood up, she seemed to have let out a heavy sigh of relief in front of the door. Then she went to the mirror in the living room and smoothed her own disheveled hair. Immediately afterwards, she quickly walked in front of Zhuo Yuewen's room and knocked on the door with her hand.
The door slowly opened, and I saw a sleepy looking Zhuo Yuewen standing at the door. He was surprised to see Lee Jingyao at the door, but in the next second, Lee Jingyao directly jumped into his embrace.
Zhuo Yuewen's expression in the video was stiff, following that he extended his hand to push away Lee Jingyao's shoulder, wanting to push her away, but Lee Jingyao's hug was tight, he did not succeed.
Following that, Zhuo Yuewen said something to Lee Jingyao, and his expression slowly changed from dull to helpless, but in the end, it froze for a moment. He suddenly extended his hand and pushed Lee Jingyao down to the ground. Zhuo Yuewen lowered his head and said a few words to Lee Jingyao. Then, he walked into the guest room, and the door closed up.
Lee Jingyao sat in front of the door alone for three minutes before she struggled to stand up. I saw her pull up her bathrobe and look at her right thigh. It should be because she fell down when Zhuo Yuewen pushed her. She limped over to the sofa and sat down, then covered her face and cried, though I believe it was a silent cry.
The scene abruptly came to a halt, and when it reappeared, an entire three months had already passed. The video showed December of last year, six months before the murder.
I saw Lee Jingyao break open the sofa in the picture, then she took out a red Flaming Rose Spider. She walked into her bedroom with the Fiery Rose Spider in her arms. When she came out again, the Fiery Rose was already gone.
The last scene of this video was from a month ago. I saw in the video that Lee Jingyao had moved in three big boxes wrapped in red cloth from outside the door, and then she folded up the sofa and placed the three boxes under the sofa. The last scene of this video was about one month before the crime.
I've finished watching all the videos, but I still feel that something is a little strange. Zhu Xiaoshu was a peeping Tom, but why didn't his computer have the latest video taken in a month? Since he had recorded the video from the day of the crime, he would definitely record the video from the month before the murder. Why did he delete the video? Could it be that there was something in the video that no one could see?
I said to Wei Shijie: "You have to check Zhu Xiaoshu's computer case carefully, I feel that there's a problem with him, it's very critical!"
"Don't worry!" Wei Shijie solemnly nodded at me.
In order to not disturb Wei Shijie's work, I called him to the office's corridor. The sky was already dark, and the street lamps outside the Public Security Bureau were already lit. I opened the window and leaned against the windowsill with Liao Mengfann.
Looking at the time, it's already half past seven in the evening. Wang Xiaoya will be arriving at the Mekong City in half an hour. I said to Liao Mengfann: "I'll leave Wang Xiaoya's side to you. I still need to see Lee Jingyao's landlord later to see what he has to say."
"En!" Liao Mengfann casually replied with a smile, then said to me: "Our method requires some direct evidence, otherwise..."
"Don't worry!" I moved closer to Liao Mengfann and leaned on her shoulder. I said to her, "This time we can be considered to have the same heart, and we will definitely succeed. I believe in you, just like how you believe in me!"
Liao Mengfann's eyes instantly became unfocused, I patted her shoulder, "I'm leaving first, let's talk on the phone, if Ye Xiaolou has any news, contact me immediately, you're right, she really brought us good luck!"
Liao Mengfann watched me leave the Public Security Bureau's office building. I turned around and gave her a thumbs up before the window. Ye Xiaolou's car keys were still in my hands, so I drove her to the Mekong City Public Hospital very impolitely.
The case file had already mentioned that Lee Jingyao's landlord was surnamed Wang, and was called Wang Gengnian. Ever since he had been bitten by a spider, he had been hospitalized in the Mekong City Public Hospital. When I reached the lobby, it was easy to ask about his room at the nurses' station.
When I took the elevator up, I wasn't in a rush to knock on the door, because when I walked in front of his room, I could vaguely hear that Wang Gengnian seemed to be on the phone inside.
"Rows... No problem, I know, a bunch of idiots... Rest assured! "I'm hanging up!"
The call quickly ended and I didn't knock on the door. At this moment, I was thinking about a problem. What kind of identity do I have to meet with Wang Gengnian?
When Wang Gengnian was on the phone just now, I heard him say "a bunch of idiots." If my guess is not wrong, he should be talking about Mekong City Police Investigator. If I used my identity as a Task Force Investigator to meet him, he would definitely lie to me. Furthermore, his mental defenses would be very strong, so it wouldn't be easy for me to get anything out of him.
Rather than this, it would be better to come here and chat with him often, but what method would I use to meet him?
A lot of ways to see each other flashed through my mind, but I gave them up. Just then, Wang Gengnian's angry curses came out from inside the house, "Damn it, it's a pretty good room, the bathroom isn't that good yet, aiya!"
While they were talking, the sound of slippers scraping on the ground came from inside the house. It seemed like Wang Gengnian would go down to the ground to look for the washroom.
