Chapter 49 The Boundary of Light and Darkness

"Is it better?" Pei Qusu turned on the light in the room, brought a cup of hot water and handed it to Zheng Jie who didn't recover.

"...Thank you." Zheng Jie held the hot water, trying to absorb some warmth.

Pei Qushu observed his expression, sure that he was much calmer, and softened his tone: "How did you see that video?"

"It played by itself." His lips were still trembling, and he spoke less clearly, "It should have jumped out around 08:30 in the evening, and there was no way to turn it off."

"Mmm." Pei Qusu waited quietly for his words.

"The woman inside is my ex-girlfriend, Chen Xinke." His words were as cold as talking about a stranger, but the red circles around his eyes revealed his sadness, "That house is my rented house."

When Pei Qusu heard this, his hand paused imperceptibly.

"That murderer..." Zheng Jie fell into memory, not noticing the strangeness of the person in front of him, "I seem to have seen it before."

"Take a break." Pei Qusu comforted, "You are reminiscing at this time, but you are more sure of your thoughts and creating an illusion."

"You seem to be right when you say that." Zheng Jie stopped thinking, raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, unexpectedly bumped into a pair of deep eyes, and suddenly saw through the gentleness on the surface, and saw the ice-like indifference inside. .

"I'm going to notify the police, you rest for a while, go and have a look with me."

"Okay." Zheng Jie noticed that the indifference had completely turned into tenderness, and his heart tightened suddenly. He didn't know whether what he saw before was an illusion, or...

After half an hour.

Following his guidance, Pei Qusu arrived at his original house.

He followed the other party and easily entered the cordon.

The house furnishings in the video are indeed the same as his home.

The more people are installed in the cramped room, the narrower it becomes.

Pei Qusu handed him a pair of white gloves and shoe covers.

He imitated the other person to put it on, observing the familiar yet unfamiliar room.

The room was very clean, and it didn't look like a murder had happened.

Professionals are testing bloodstains. Although the body was found here, it is still necessary to determine whether this is a murder scene just in case.

Zheng Jie saw the bag standing on the table, it was a gift from his new neighbor yesterday.

There are fruits in it. If you think about it carefully, the fruits in it are all the fruits he likes to eat.

Now there is a paring knife next to the bag.

He walked over and took a closer look. This was not the fruit knife he had at home.

"Zheng Jie." Pei Qusu walked up to him, "Is this bag already here?"

"It's been here since I left here today." He replied, "It was given to me by a new neighbor who came today."

"Have you seen the video, do you know where the video was shot?" Pei Qusuo said.

He thought about the angle of the video: "It should be around here, right?"

"To be precise, it's at the bottom right of this bag." Pei Qusong said with absolute certainty, "...wait for the time of the forensic death appraisal."

Although he didn't understand what the other party meant, he was eager to tell what he had found and didn't care.

"I don't have this fruit knife at home," he said.

Pei Qusu didn't doubt his words either. Hearing this, he immediately put the fruit knife next to the bag into a transparent bag and handed it to a professional for testing.

There was really nothing to see, so Pei Qusu asked Zheng Jie to take him to meet the new neighbor.

But when he knocked on the door, no one answered.

He saw Pei Qushu contemplating for a moment, then turned to him and said, "It's too late now, let's come and have a look tomorrow."

"Hmm." He had no objection.

the next day.

After a good night's sleep, Zheng Jie was dragged up by the people who took him in.

"What's the matter?" He wondered, it seemed that it was not his task to investigate the murderer.

"The time of death came out, it was 5-6 o'clock yesterday afternoon." Pei Qushun narrowed his deep eyes slightly, "Are you sure that fruit knife is not yours?"

"...Yes." He didn't understand why the other party asked.

"It has your fingerprints on it, and there are bloodstains from two people."

"What?" he asked in surprise.

"One is the blood of the woman you mentioned when you came to report the crime..." Pei Qusong looked at Zheng Jie's facial expression, "The other is the blood of your ex-girlfriend."

"How is it possible!" Zheng Jie was a little flustered, "That fruit knife...I have never touched it..."

"I believe in you." Pei Qushou patted him on the shoulder, "but don't say that this fruit knife is not yours yet."

"...but..." He couldn't make up his mind.

"Now let's go find your neighbor first."

"Ah?" He didn't understand why Pei Qusu was so attached to this neighbor, even though he was his rival in love.

"Didn't you hear the time of death I told you before?" Pei Qusu patiently explained, "At that time, the gift your new neighbor gave you should have existed, but it didn't appear in the video."

"It is possible that the murderer moved away on purpose."

"Really?" Pei Qusu smiled noncommittally, and for a moment Zheng Jie mistakenly thought that the other party was the murderer.

Pei Qushu's tone was indifferent: "What if the murderer did it on purpose?"

"You still don't understand that you are the murderer's target?"

He was completely stunned.

Without giving him extra time to think, Pei Qusu pulled him to find his new neighbor.

Unsurprisingly, no one responded.

Then, Zheng Jie saw Pei Qusu open the door like a professional lockpicker.

"Go in and have a look." Pei Qusu raised his eyebrows and said to him.

The scene behind the door caused Zheng Jie, who had finally regained his composure, to fall into the ice cellar.

Because the furnishings in the room are exactly the same as his home.

The author has something to say:

In fact, this story was originally intended to be a long story, but when I thought about trying to find all kinds of clues, I felt a headache... forget it =_=
