Chen Xiao responded to the other party's words concisely and clearly.Then I raised my head again and looked at the balcony on the 5th floor. Since the neighbors must have known about the accident, the whole building was brightly lit, and I could clearly see a section of the metal guardrail dangling from it at night. On the balcony, there is a posture about to fall.

Chen Xiao frowned.

And this little move was keenly noticed by Lao Xing.

"What's the matter?" This time, he no longer put on that disdainful expression, because he knew that this bastard must have discovered something.

Chen Xiao hesitated for a while, then pointed to the building above his head.

"Look, there's air conditioning..."

Lao Xing followed Chen Xiao's fingers and looked over

Several scattered air-conditioning bellows are hung outside the building.

"What's wrong?" he asked suspiciously.

Chen Xiao pointed his finger at the sky, and fell quickly from the balcony on the 5th floor, drawing a straight line between several air-conditioning boxes, until he reached the blood-stained steel fence on the ground floor.

"Why, he didn't hit the air conditioner?"

Chen Xiao whispered, as if talking to himself.

Lao Xing sighed helplessly.

"If you didn't hit it, you didn't hit it. What's the fuss?"

Chen Xiao licked his lips and nodded.

Indeed, if you didn't hit it, you didn't hit it. There happened to be no air conditioner on the route where the deceased fell. This is not a suspicious thing.

"Where are the people with motives, have you found them all?" He asked.

"Go, the deceased was very clean before he was alive, and he never offended anyone. He found a few businessmen who could benefit a little, but none of them had any possibility of committing a crime."

"Where's your wife?" Chen Xiao asked again.

"For a business trip, I was notified when the incident happened. It is estimated that I will be back by plane in the early morning."

"No more?"

"Anyway, up to now, no one with a motive for committing the crime has been found. We can't just arrest anyone who has something to do with it."

.......

Chen Xiao's brows still haven't stretched

"Go... go upstairs and have a look."

Chapter 235 A Simple and Perfect Murder Case ([-])

open the door......

The structure is very simple, the porch, the living room, and the two side-by-side rooms are the study and the bedroom. The opposite side is the kitchen connected to the living room. Next to the kitchen is the balcony.

The area is very small, you can get an overview at a glance, there are no fancy decorations, ordinary tables, chairs and benches, cabinets and beds are also commonly used at home, and there are no expensive items or luxuries. For a rich man, such The home seems a bit too "shabby".

Of course... just like the deceased himself once said, this place is indeed much warmer and more real than those gorgeous residences. In those years when he had not entered the ranks of rich people like he is now Here, after running around every day, being able to sleep in such a home should be called happiness.

Chen Xiao hunched his back and put his hands in his pockets. He was not in a hurry to go to the balcony to find the details of the crime that had already been obtained. Lao Xing said that there was nothing suspicious there, so there should be nothing suspicious. After all, they Almost perfect.

Therefore, Chen Xiao just wandered around the room like visiting a night market.

......

suddenly

"You said the victim's wife was on a business trip?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Lao Xing responded.

"Well... tell me about this woman..."

Lao Xing recalled a little bit: "We were married to the victim for 9 years. We came out of the country together and worked hard together in the city until now. We are kind and have a good relationship with the deceased. This house was built by the couple together, so this Haven't moved out for several years."

Chen Xiao put on a posture with one arm folded and one hand pinched his chin: "Is there any benefit after death?"

"Ah, yes, there is. Both of them have taken out insurance, but it is written in each other's name. The husband and wife are very affectionate to each other, and they share the finances. The conjecture that killing people to cheat insurance or taking the opportunity to obtain inheritance is definitely not valid, because if you don't kill people , money can be spent casually, and those insurance claims, to be honest, they look down on them."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Then...do you have any emotional problems?".

"Probably not. I have checked the phone call records. There are no doubts about cheating or extramarital affairs. The deceased will go home directly after finishing his work every day, and he rarely even goes out to socialize. A typical three-good man... even Not even a female secretary."

"Why don't you have a child?" Chen Xiao thought about it again, and still asked reluctantly.

"It should simply be that we haven't spared the time yet. We also specifically checked the medical examination records they had done before. It's not some painful plot such as psychological distortion caused by infertility... In fact , We checked everything you said immediately, including his company's capital flow, relationship with subordinates, all investment directions and industrial chains, all of which are very clean. It's very small, and the possibility of seeking revenge is extremely low... Let's put it this way, his death will not involve anyone, and it will hardly have a good impact on anyone. Those so-called beneficiaries are only relative terms. "

Chen Xiao was silent for a while after listening.

"As long as a person is a person, no matter how beautiful or kind, even if he is a good person in a million people's stories, he will always play a bad person in someone's story."

Lao Xing frowned...

"Okay, I know what you mean, but it's not enough to simply start with the motive. You can't find someone who wants to kill him and say he is the murderer. There must be evidence. The deceased just went home after getting off the plane. No one has touched it, the surveillance video has not been tampered with, no one has entered or left the room except himself, and he didn’t even answer the phone before he died, no one can kill him.”

As soon as the words fell, something seemed to flash in Chen Xiao's eyes, but it was quickly hidden...

"I really don't have any evidence that this is not an accident, but this does not prevent me from having a skeptical attitude towards it. Since everyone seems to be innocent, let's start with the person closest to him... ...You said her wife was away on a business trip, but I think she's a housewife."

Lao Xing was stunned for a moment: "She is not a housewife, but she seldom goes to work."

"Oh?" Chen Xiao showed a puzzled expression.

"He is a department manager of the deceased's company, the nominal one, who seldom goes to the company and spends most of his time at home, um... In this way, she is indeed almost the same as a housewife. ...but how did you find out?"

"Ah? This... The quilt on the bed has obviously been used for a long time, and there is no trace of washing in a short period of time, but it is very clean, and there are not even wrinkles at the corners. Such a soft fabric, If you want to keep like this, you can’t simply fold the quilt every day. The cover of the table lamp by the window has been smoked and discolored. It seems that it is often turned on before going to bed. The few books on the bedside are very clear. Judging by the color of the pages, each book was read within a few days. A house that has been inhabited for nearly ten years is still the way it is now. If it is not clean, it will be cleaned regularly every day."

As he spoke, he pointed to the open wardrobe again.

"There are smoke stains on the pajamas from cooking, and the wear and tear on the wrists and ankles shows that she often wears them to do housework. As a rich woman, beautiful clothes are really rare. It is estimated that her circle of friends is small. Few people will come to the house as a guest. There are no extra chairs in the whole room, and the slippers are the same. Then, a person who stays at home for a long time, does housework at a fixed time every day, does not show his face very much, likes to read books, and waits for his husband with books before going to bed at night. The image of the housewife returning home appeared quite logically. There is no need for any proof, it is just more reasonable to think so.”

Chen Xiao still speaks very fast, as if every time he needs to explain something, he feels that it is a waste of time, but he is afraid that he will always be asked questions if he does not explain or the explanation is not clear, so he simply makes such a long sentence hard. Tucked into seconds.This time, Lao Xing barely kept up with Chen Xiao's speech speed.

"So, you have to ask why a housewife who doesn't go to work often, why would she suddenly go on a business trip?"

Chen Xiao nodded as if nothing had happened, and at the same time kept looking around.
