Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 72

On June 6, in Room 17, Unit 4, Building 1, Guanghua Community, Lin Nanyue received a call from Sun Jiajia, hung his breakfast on the doorknob of the ward, and drove to the scene of the crime.

Seeing him coming in, Sun Jiajia hurriedly greeted him, "Captain, you're here."

Lin Nanyue nodded, put on gloves and foot covers and went straight into the room, saying, "What's the matter?"

Sun Jiajia replied: "At seven o'clock in the morning, the neighbor across the door got up to buy breakfast, and walked the dog along the way. As soon as they went out, their dog ran to the door of this house and kept barking. It couldn't be pulled away. The neighbor also felt that Somewhat strange, he stepped forward to call the door, who knew that the door opened as soon as it was pushed, and then the dog rushed in and found the dead man tied up in the living room."

Lin Nanyue had already entered the door, and naturally saw the victim tied to the chair.The victim was a man with his hands tied to the back of the chair and his legs tied to the legs of the chair. He had many bruises and scars of different shapes and sizes.The lower body was amputated and the chair was covered in dried blood.

Tang Ran, who was checking his health, saw Lin Nanyue standing aside and said, "You're here."

Lin Nanyue nodded and asked, "How did he die?"

"I can't judge yet, but I guess this is the fatal injury." Tang Ran said while pointing to the man's buttocks.

Lin Nanyue froze for a moment, then turned behind the deceased, and when he saw what was going on, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.There was an iron object inserted into the door of the dead man's gang, with one end exposed and stuck in the gap between the back of the chair and the seat panel.

"I guess this thing should be very long, and it directly pierced the internal organs of the deceased. There are still some internal organs underneath, which should be brought out by performing this behavior many times."

Lin Nanyue looked at the place Tang Ran was pointing at, and he saw the internal organs he mentioned, and said, "This way of death...it is very likely that this person is a homosexual."

"Being castrated in the front and stabbed in the back, I think the murderer is either a real pervert, or has a deep hatred for the deceased."

Lin Nanyue nodded in agreement and said, "Can you judge the approximate time of death now?"

"Judging from the state of the corpse, the time of death should be within 48 hours. The exact time of death will not be known until after the autopsy."

Lin Nanyue stood up, looked at Sun Jiajia, and said, "Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

Sun Jiajia glanced at the deceased and said, "The deceased's name is Gao Yang. He is 24 years old this year. He graduated from Hucheng Technical College and is unemployed. He rented this house."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Go to the property to have a look and get the surveillance video of this unit building within two days."

"Yes, captain." Sun Jiajia nodded, turned and left the room.

Lin Nanyue walked towards Hu Jiahan and asked, "Hu Ke, did you find anything at the scene?"

Hu Jiahan sighed, and said: "The scene is very messy, there are fingerprints everywhere, and the murderer didn't clean it up at all. But I think the reason why the murderer did this is that he was well prepared and able to ensure that he would not leave any traces. "

"That's hard work for Hu Ke."

Lin Nanyue walked around the room, came to the door, looked at Zhang Xiaojun who was doing an interview, and said, "Who is calling the police?"

"It's me." The man next to Zhang Xiaojun replied aloud.

Zhang Xiaojun answered, "Captain, his name is Zhang Jianqiang. He is the neighbor next door to the deceased. He discovered the deceased and reported it to the police."

Lin Nanyue looked at Zhang Jianqiang. He was about 50 years old, wearing a white Tai Chi suit, a little bald, and had a beer belly.

"Mr. Zhang, do you understand the situation of the deceased?"

Zhang Jianqiang shook his head and said, "I don't even know his name, let alone understand him. But this man has bad character, he comes home very late every day, and makes a fuss as soon as he comes home. He doesn't have much trouble with people upstairs and downstairs. The property responds. But it’s useless to reflect, everything is as usual, just like a normal person.”

"Has he ever dealt with you?"

"I've beaten him. People upstairs and downstairs have all come to him for disturbing the people. Even the police from the police station have come to him. He looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. I knew something would happen to him sooner or later. See Well, something went wrong."

It could be heard that Zhang Jianqiang really didn't want to see Gao Yang.

"Does he usually live alone?"

"Yes and no." Zhang Jianqiang frowned and said, "If he lived alone, he wouldn't be so noisy, but he brings different people home every time, and his private life is very messy. Comrade police, you autopsy Time to check if he has heart disease, if their dog accidentally touches his blood, will it be contagious?"

Zhang Jianqiang did not hide the contempt in his tone.

"A different person? A man or a woman?"

Zhang Jianqiang said in surprise: "Comrade policeman, how do you know? Oh oh oh, you must have seen the corpse. The people he brought back were male and female, just the few I've seen, each one is different. "

"Did you hear any strange noises in the past two days?"

"Strange? The noise made by his house every day is unbearable. We quarrel and quarrel, and even the police have nothing to do with it. Now I have developed the habit of wearing headphones when I sleep, and I can't make any noise no matter how loud it is." Me." Zhang Jianqiang couldn't help complaining.

"When was the last time you saw him and who was he with?"

Zhang Jianqiang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "The last time I saw him was probably the afternoon before yesterday. My wife and I went downstairs for a walk and watched him go downstairs in pajamas and buy cigarettes in the small supermarket downstairs. We haven't seen him since. pass."

"Is he alone?"

"Well, alone. He's just a little bastard. He idles around all day long. I haven't seen him go to work. He only gets up in the afternoon and goes to bed in the middle of the night. With such neighbors, we are also unlucky for eight lifetimes."

Zhang Jianqiang paused, and then continued: "Speaking of which, it's really strange. You said that he has no job, what does he rely on to maintain his food, drink and entertainment? Is it possible that he is gnawing on the old? Then his parents died in the previous life. What sin did you do to raise such a son."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Thank you for cooperating with our work. We will bother you again if necessary."

"Comrade police, you should be polite. That's what it should be. Then, if you find out that he has any infectious disease, please tell me. Forget it, I'd better go directly to the hospital for an examination. It's bad luck."

Lin Nanyue ignored Zhang Jianqiang, but returned to the scene of the crime and wandered around again.

After Qiao Xingnian had breakfast with Wu Hai, he went straight back to the tea house and called Lin Nanzhou.Of the two newly recruited waiters, one was fired and the other was hospitalized. Now only Liu Meng and Liu Man are left in the tea house.

Although the two are ghosts, they have to be on duty every day. If they are so busy, even Qiao Xingnian will feel sorry for them, so they can only arrest Lin Nanzhou.

Not only that, he also asked Lin Nanzhou to find a few classmates who were willing to come to do part-time jobs. They can't make tea, so at least they can help them, which can also reduce their burden.

At noon, Qiao Xingnian ordered takeaway for Wu Hai, and made a note that the rider must deliver it to the ward, and then the busiest time of the day came.

"Boss, your store is so busy, have you ever thought about expanding the store? Every time we come, we have to make an appointment several days in advance."

"Yes, yes, sometimes even if you make an appointment, you may not be able to come due to other things."

Seeing Qiao Xingnian taking a break from his busy schedule, everyone started talking to him.

Qiao Xingnian said with a smile: "I do have the idea of ​​expanding the store, but I've been busy recently and haven't had time to implement it. Everyone will feel wronged and wronged. After the store recruits more salespersons and formally trains them, I will solve the store in detail. The problem."

"The boss didn't say anything, I really didn't pay attention, where are the two waiters before?"

Qiao Xingnian explained: "One was not suitable and was fired, and the other took sick leave. These classmates were recruited by me temporarily. If there is something wrong, please bear with me."

One of the girls asked aloud, "Is the one who got fired surnamed Liu?"

Qiao Xingnian smiled, but did not answer directly, saying, "This is not important anymore."

The girl understood Qiao Xingnian's words, and said, "The one named Liu doesn't come to work peacefully, the boss should just let him go."

Everyone became interested and said, "Oh, how do you say, what happened?"

Seeing that Qiao Xingnian had no intention of stopping him, the girl went on to say, "You don't know, he is just a small Internet celebrity, and his previous fans were only tens of thousands. Maybe it was because the boss became popular, so he came here to apply for a salesperson. Didn’t the boss go to have tea for a few days? I saw him live broadcast every day during working hours, and the content of the live broadcast was to make tea. This is not to catch the boss’s enthusiasm, but what is it.”

The girl next to her frowned when she heard this, and said, "I'm doing live streaming during working hours, and I'm still making tea in a tea house. It's too shameless to rub the heat."

"Isn't it? Because of this, he has gained 10,000+ fans in the past few days."

"He deserves to be fired, this kind of person just doesn't take advantage enough."

The girl sitting at the other table answered, "Oh, I know about this too. I asked him the other day if it was him in that video. Guess what he said, he not only admitted it, He also said to let me pay attention, he said that he would send benefits to fans regularly, and he also said that he can come to the tea house to drink tea without making an appointment."

"It's too shameless. You completely regard yourself as the boss. You are not fooled."

"No, when I saw the time and place of his live broadcast, I knew he was not a good person, so I ignored him. I was wondering why this person didn't come today, so he was fired."

Qiao Xingnian concentrated on making tea, and didn't pay attention to what was said here. Although he didn't look at it, there was a microphone beside him, and Liu Man tried his best to relay what these people said to him.

Qiao Xingnian really doesn't have the energy to deal with Liu Hao's matter now, but Qiao Xingnian has no plans to deal with Liu Hao if he doesn't make trouble.

"Boss, do you still recruit part-time jobs here?" A girl suddenly asked.

Liu Man bumped Qiao Xingnian's arm and said, "Boss, a little sister asked you if you still want a part-time job?"

Qiao Xingnian looked up and said, "There is no shortage of part-time jobs for the time being, and these students are enough. However, we are recruiting full-time jobs. As long as you meet the requirements, the salary will be absolutely generous."

"The boss will talk about the conditions, and we will help you pay attention."

"The conditions are very simple, at least a high school education, male gender, under the age of 35, good looks, and good temperament. For details, refer to the previous salesperson."

A girl joked, "Is this easy? Boss, no wonder your business here is so good. The requirements for recruiting a salesperson have caught up with me to find a boyfriend."

"Hahaha, not to mention the boss's appearance, but the two young ladies in the tea house, which one is not a great beauty, this image and temperament, no one of us present can compare."

Liu Man smiled and said: "Our boss taught me this. I was no different from you before. Now, put on this dress, put on the sideburns and hairpins, and you will have a temperament all at once. , This is called "a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle". "

As soon as Liu Man said this, everyone laughed, and couldn't help drawing the distance between them, and made everyone present have a good impression of her.

"Boss, you have such employees, do you still worry about bad business?"

"That's right, Sister Man and Sister Meng are not only good-looking, but also very gentle and amiable. The boss pays wages at the end of the month, so they can give more bonuses."

Liu Man smiled and said, "Did you hear that, Boss, give out more bonuses at the end of the month, that's what the big guy said."

"I originally wanted to order two new work clothes and two new sets of jewelry for you, but this bonus, the money is not enough, or the work clothes are not fixed, you can still make do with this?"

"New tooling?" Liu Man's eyes lit up, and he changed his words immediately: "The bonus is not important, let's customize the tooling, we can't burden the boss, right, Mengmeng."

Liu Meng said with a smile: "The style and pattern of our tooling are all designed by the boss himself. They are absolutely unique. No one else can ask for it. How can the bonus compare with the tooling."

"Is this dress designed by the boss?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and one of the older ladies said with interest: "Boss, why don't you design a set for me, as long as it suits me, you can decide how much it costs."

"Don't listen to their nonsense, I can't make clothes, I just draw patterns."

Liu Man then said: "Our boss, you need good looks, talent and talent, almost perfect, but there is only one thing that is not satisfactory. Guess what it is?"

Everyone asked curiously: "What is it?"

"That's 'lazy'!Except for tea-related work, the only thing that impresses him is eating. At other times, the word "lazy" is used. If he can be more diligent, he would have already accepted endorsements and filmed commercials. How can we still see him every day. "

"Hahaha, it's Sister Man who knows the boss well. I just said that the boss's current popularity, how could he not develop into the entertainment industry? It turns out that it is because of "laziness". "

"Nowadays, anyone with a little bit of fame is crowded into the entertainment industry. Their endorsement fees, appearance fees, and film remuneration are all sky-high. We work hard for a lifetime, and there may not be someone who pays a lot for a movie. In this way, the boss is really "Lazy" is very. "

Everyone couldn't help but nodded after hearing the words, expressing their agreement with Liu Man's words.

"I'm really lazy. I work hard to run a tea house because I love it. Tea is an important part of my life. I don't have too much obsession with money, as long as it can meet my basic needs."

"The boss is free and easy, and he is calm in dealing with things, which matches this cup of tea very well."

"Really? Then what kind of tea do you think I look like?"

Someone immediately responded, saying: "Like green tea, fresh and natural."

Qiao Xingnian joked, "Why do I sound like you're scolding me?"

Everyone roared with laughter, and the atmosphere in the teahouse was extremely harmonious. They, a group of strangers, quickly became one with each other, as if they were old friends for many years, drinking tea and chatting together, very comfortable.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the tea customers had almost left. Qiao Xingnian also called a car to take Lin Nanzhou and the others back to school, and the teahouse returned to calm.

Liu Man couldn't wait to say: "Boss, is the design of the tooling out? I want to take a look first, so that I can enjoy my eyes."

"Not yet. Wu Hai had an accident yesterday, and I've been busy until now, so I don't have time to draw at all."

"By the way, boss, you haven't said what happened to Wu Hai yet."

"Attempt to commit suicide." Qiao Xingnian answered the two of them simply, "His affairs are very complicated, so don't ask, whether he is here or not, do you understand?"

"Attempted suicide?"

Liu Meng and Liu Man looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Then how is he now, is he seriously injured?"

"It's not life-threatening, but he lost too much blood and must be hospitalized for recuperation."

Liu Man frowned, and said, "Wu Hai, what can't be done? If he doesn't cherish life, he should really let him see what the two of us are like now."

Liu Meng said aloud: "To be honest, Sister Man, if I hadn't died then, I probably wouldn't have the courage to continue living."

"Mengmeng, you think so?" Liu Man looked at Liu Meng in surprise.

Liu Meng said with a smile: "That was my previous thought, of course not now, if you give me another chance, I will definitely live a good life, not for anything else, just for Lin Yi."

Liu Man raised the corner of his mouth and said, "That's not too bad. The boss said that suicide is a felony and you will go to hell. The world of life is already suffering enough. If you die and then go to hell, it would be unjust."

"Sister Man is right, we don't want to be wronged."

Seeing their relationship getting closer, Qiao Xingnian smiled gratifiedly, and said: "These days the teahouse depends on you all, you have worked hard! I will double Liu Man's salary. As long as we finish this month, our debt will be doubled." It's clear, you can go to reincarnation at any time."

"Thank you, boss." Liu Man smiled happily and said, "But I still want to do it for a while longer to earn more money for my grandparents."

"The soul cannot stay in the yang world for a long time. There is only half a year from death to reincarnation, otherwise the chance of reincarnation will be lost. I can understand your feelings, but time waits for no one."

"Half a year?" Liu Man was stunned, then looked at Liu Meng and said, "Ke Mengmeng has already passed the deadline, so what should she do?"

"I borrowed Chao's time for her. Before the 25th of this month, she must return to Hades, otherwise she will miss the opportunity."

Liu Man couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "That's good, that's good."

Liu Meng frowned and said, "I'm leaving this month, so I can't celebrate Lin Yi's birthday."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Tomorrow you go pick out a birthday present, and when she celebrates her birthday, I'll pass it on to her for you."

Liu Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, can you borrow some more time for me?"

Qiao Xingnian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be possible. Liu Meng, the sisterhood between you and Lin Yi was broken the moment you died. You should be content to have these few days together."

Seeing that Liu Meng was unhappy, Liu Man stepped forward and hugged her shoulders, and said, "Mengmeng, the boss is right, we should be content. How about this, I will accompany you to reincarnation, and I will be your sister in the next life. You have plenty of money." Time hurts me."

Liu Meng turned to look at Liu Man, and said, "But didn't you say you'd have to work for a while before leaving?"

Liu Man smiled wryly and said, "I can still work for a month at most, how much can I help them, they can't rely on me now."

"Don't worry, your compensation should come down soon, enough for them to live."

Liu Man was startled, then smiled and said: "Yes, I still have compensation, haha, then the lives of grandparents will be guaranteed, that's great!"

Seeing that Liu Man was happy, Liu Meng also raised the corners of her mouth and said, "The stone in Sister Man's heart can finally be let go."

"Yeah, let's reincarnate together and be good sisters in the next life."

The three of them were chatting when the store door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Nanyue walked in.

Liu Man joked, "Team Lin came to the tea house to check in again."

Lin Nanyue's face became hot, and he said, "I need to talk to your boss about something."

Seeing him approaching, Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Team Lin is so late today, is the case difficult?"

Lin Nanyue nodded, and said: "The murderer's method of attack is very cruel, and his vigilance is also high. In addition, the deceased's interpersonal relationship is complicated, so it is indeed difficult to investigate. How is Wu Hai?"

"I'm planning to go over and have a look. If Team Lin is okay, let's go together."

"I think so too."

Qiao Xingnian looked at Liu Meng and Liu Man, and said, "I'll leave the store to you. When all the customers are gone, just close the door."

"Boss, don't worry, even for the double salary, I have to work hard."

When Qiao Xingnian was away, Liu Meng and Liu Man would stay in the tea house after closing the door at night. Anyway, they were ghosts, they couldn't feel the cold or heat, and they stayed where they were.

Without further delay, Qiao Xingnian went upstairs to change, and drove to the hospital with Lin Nanyue.

In the car, Qiao Xingnian took the initiative to ask, "Captain Lin, what's the situation with today's case?"

Lin Nanyue turned to look at him, and said, "The deceased is Gao Yang, 24 years old, unemployed, and rented a house in Guanghua Community. At seven o'clock this morning, the neighbor who lives next door found his body."

"What about the cause and time of death?"

"The autopsy report has not yet been released, and the specific cause of death is still unclear. The forensic doctor said that in all likelihood, the death was due to broken internal organs. The preliminary estimate of the time of death is within 48 hours of the incident."

"The internal organs are broken? Was the deceased beaten before his death?"

Lin Nanyue hesitated, and said: "When Gao Yang was found, he was tied to a chair with no clothes on, his lower body was cut off, and the gang door was pierced by an iron rod. The forensic doctor believed that his death was caused by the iron rod. great about."

Lin Nanyue's words formed a picture in Qiao Xingnian's mind, combined with the information he had checked before, his expression suddenly became strange, and he said, "What Team Lin means is that the murderer used an iron rod to pass through the dead man's gang gate and penetrated through the gate of the deceased's gang." His body, so that the internal organs were damaged to death?"

Lin Nanyue nodded uncomfortably, and said, "It's just a guess right now, everything can't be confirmed until the autopsy report is out."

Qiao Xingnian looked at Lin Nanyue, saw the red ears as expected, and said: "The lower body was cut off, the gang door was pierced, this way of death... the murderer is probably the man who had sex with him, In other words, Gao Yang was gay or bisexual before his death."

Lin Nanyue couldn't help turning his head to look at Qiao Xingnian. Talking to him was a way to save worry and effort. He only said the cause of death of the deceased, and Qiao Xingnian guessed a lot of things. He couldn't help but sigh again: "You don't The police are a real loss to the force."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Thank you Team Lin for your compliment. But I'm not fit to be a policeman, so I won't compete with Team Lin for a job."

"Gao Yang is bisexual, and his private life is chaotic. He often takes different people home and plays very crazy. He often receives complaints from his neighbors and even calls the police because of this, but Gao Yang ignores it and does what he should do. So much so that his neighbors were sleeping with headphones on, and they didn't hear the sound of the incident."

"Since he was playing crazy, the neighbors should have heard all kinds of strange sounds. Even if they heard the sound from the incident, they would not be surprised."

Lin Nanyue was startled, and after a while, he understood what Qiao Xingnian meant, and couldn't help but turned to look at him with a strange look in his eyes.
