Chapter 12 (Volume 1: Fantasy Killer) Scratches, Crumbs and Shacks
He rang the doorbell heavily.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhang was about to open the door. Chu Bin said to Aunt Zhang: "I'll go, you're busy with yours, I'm my friend."
Aunt Zhang said "Oh" and went to work hard. Chu Bin used to ask friends to come to her house, but she had long been used to it.
Chu Bin opened the door and invited Chenchen and Wang Lu into the living room. Chu Bin personally made tea for the two of them, and then sat down on the sofa.
"Are you sure you really saw that monkey?" This was the first sentence of the deep question.
Wang Lu looked at Chen Chen with some dissatisfaction. She felt that Chen Chen was too direct, and such an inquiry would give Chu Bin a bad psychological hint and would make Chu Bin feel that Yin Hui’s case was related to monkeys.
Sure enough, Chu Bin's face changed slightly: "Is Yin Hui and Luo Jincheng's death also related to that monkey?"
Chen Chen did not deny it and replied: "Yes, we suspect they were killed by monkeys."
Monkey kills people! Can monkeys actually kill people?
Chu Bin was even more convinced that he had read it wrong last night. He even felt that the monkey he stared at last night was very fierce, as if he wanted his own life.
Wang Lu couldn't help it: "Chu Bin, don't be afraid. Even if the death of Yin Hui and Luo Jincheng may be caused by monkeys, it does not mean that the monkey you saw last night was the one who killed people. Look at today's news. Monkeys on Qianling Mountain have flooded and will run to the two cities from time to time to harass residents. In July alone, there were more than ten incidents of monkeys hurting people in the two cities. Now all departments are working hard to find ways to solve this problem. The place you live in is exactly the intersection of the two cities. Maybe what you see is just the wild monkeys coming down from Qianling Mountain. Maybe what you see is not necessarily the case."
Chen Chen then agreed, "Yes, this possibility is not lacking, so don't scare yourself. Didn't you say that there is nothing between you and Yin Hui, so how could the murderer beg you?"
"Captain Shen, you didn't say that last night. I don't say anything between Yin Hui and I, it depends on what the murderer thinks. What if he goes crazy and has to cause trouble for me? Also, if it's really just a wild monkey, how could he stay outside my window all night? You don't know how I came here last night. You always think about that monkey in your mind. No matter how I tossed and turned, I could feel that its eyes had never left me."
Wang Lu glanced at Chen Chen. In her opinion, Chu Bin's condition was not good. She didn't know what Chen Chen said to this guy last night, which made him a little crazy.
He coughed softly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit one by himself: "Take us upstairs and have a look."
No matter what, since you have already arrived, you have to go and have a look.
Chu Bin then led the two upstairs.
Chu Bin's bedroom is very large, with about seventy square meters. The balcony is facing a large floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, and the south side is a large bay window.
Even monkeys cannot stay outside the bay window, so there is no need to ask, the monkeys Chu Bin saw should be on the balcony.
"It was on the guardrail of the balcony at that time. Look, that's it." Chu Bin opened the glass door and walked to the balcony and pointed to the guardrail on one side and said.
He walked over, looked at it, picked up a thin white foam that was not easily noticed on the balcony with his hands, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then put it to his mouth and licked it gently. Chu Bin and Wang Lu frowned, and this guy didn't think it was dirty either.
He said in a deep voice: "It's the crumbs of bread."
Chu Bin was excited and said, "I never eat in the bedroom. I developed the habit since I was a child. When I was a child, my parents did not allow me to take things to the bedroom to eat, and I didn't like eating bread either."
He said this to prove that the breadcrumbs were probably left by the monkey.
Wang Lu said: "Is it possible that someone else ate when they came to your room?"
Chu Bin shook his head: "This is even more impossible. Except for Aunt Zhang who usually comes to clean my house, no one else will enter. Even my parents will not enter my house without my permission. Although my father is usually very strict with me, they still respect me very much in this regard."
He nodded heavily, and he could see that Chu Bin actually did not have the bad habits of some other playboys besides playing racing. He had not had any contact with these rich second-generations in Lin Cheng. There were several of them in his hands, including bullying men and women, pornography, gambling, and drugs. At least these were not in Chu Bin, which shows that Chu Xinyang's tutoring is still very good.
He stretched out half of his body and looked out the balcony. He found two obvious scratches on the outside of the balcony. Judging from the traces, it looked like it was left by a monkey when he climbed up. It seemed that Chu Bin saw a monkey, and the monkey was sitting on the guardrail at that time, staring at Chu Bin in the room, holding a piece of bread in his hand.
Wang Lu asked, "Don't you pull this curtain on the balcony?" She was referring to the curtain on the balcony. If Chu Bin pulled the curtain on the time, he wouldn't be able to see the monkey.
Chen Chen looked at Chu Bin curiously. Generally speaking, many people would pull the curtains when they were sleeping at night, but Chu Bin did not close the curtains, which was a bit abnormal.
Chu Bin frowned: "I don't think this is necessary. I'm pulling the curtains to protect my privacy. But you have also seen that the balcony faces the mountain, and there are few people on this mountain, not to mention at night, even during the day. I have been like this for so many years. The curtains will be changed every two or three years, but almost never used them. I will close the bay window at night because it faces a small high-rise villa in the community."
It would be reasonable for him to explain this.
Chu Bin said again: "It was also a bit scared yesterday. In normal times, I didn't even close this glass door. In summer, I used to sleeping with this door on. I don't like to blow air conditioner. Every time I blow air conditioner for a long time, I feel very uncomfortable with my nose."
Chen Chen said, "Do you usually live at home?"
"Before, but in the past two years, I have been fascinated by racing and often have to play until midnight. I am afraid that coming back will affect my parents, so I rented a house outside and lived in it myself."
Wang Lu smiled: "The son of a big real estate developer in Qianzhou Province actually rents a house?"
Chu Bin felt a little embarrassed: "I originally wanted to buy one, but my father didn't let him. He said that if I wanted to live by myself, I could choose one from the property developed by the company, but what's the point? The property and property of my company are also owned by the company. Then my every move is still under my father's nose. I don't like that feeling. I am no longer a child. I hope to have a certain degree of freedom."
He said angrily: "You are already very free. I think your dad wouldn't support you in Hua Erdao racing, right?"
Chu Bin pursed his lips: "I agreed with my parents and decided to move back. As for racing, I really just like the stimulating feeling. Team Shen, I promise you that my brothers and I just love to play with cars and have never done anything else."
He looked at him deeply: "You won't know how harmful the racing is, right? You are also lucky and have not had any major problems. Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here and talk to us?"
Chu Bin lowered his head: "I won't go racing anymore. I promised my mother and went back to work in the company."
Chenchen didn't say anything more. This was Chu Bin's own business, so he wouldn't say anything more.
Wang Lu said: "Don't be too nervous. Stay at home for the past two days, but it's best to close the doors and windows and contact us in time if you find anything else."
Chu Bin nodded, but he was still a little uneasy: "Captain Chen, you said the murderer shouldn't really attack me, I'm really wronged. I didn't do anything to Yin Hui."
He said quietly: "Be careful yourself. If it really doesn't work, just change to a room you think is safer and stay in touch at any time."
Chen Chen and Wang Lu left without staying in the Chu family for long, leaving only Chu Bin who was uneasy.
After seeing off Chen Chen and Wang Lu, Chu Bin returned to his bedroom. He hesitated for a moment, closed the glass door, and pulled the curtains again. If he had pulled the curtains himself last night, he might not have seen the monkey. No, it should be said that the monkey would not have seen him.
"Did you think that monkey was really controlled by the murderer?" Wang Lu asked in confusion.
He shook his head heavily, and he was not sure, but he did not allow Chu Bin to have another accident. He called Xiao Qiushui and asked Xiao Qiushui to arrange someone to stare at Chu Bin, especially asking them to pay attention to whether there were monkeys around Chu Bin.
Although Xiao Qiushui was a little embarrassed, after all, his manpower was limited, he knew that Chen Chen's intentional explanation showed that Chu Bin was probably the next victim. He did not dare to be careless and arranged an old detective to take a strong student to take charge of this matter. Of course, Chen Chen did not let Chu Bin know about this matter.
At this moment, Fu Hong brought Huang Meng to Touqiao, and in an old house in Touqiao Fruit Lane, they met the mother and daughter Du Zhongping mentioned.
The woman's name is Cai Juan, 39 years old. She opened a small laundry in Touqiao. Touqiao is the junction of urban and rural areas, and most of them are renters. Or they are farmers in local urban villages, and there is not much business to open a laundry here. Fortunately, the price she set is cheap and she can make ends meet.
Cai Juan pulled her daughter Cai Ping alone. Cai Ping was fifteen years old and was in the first year of high school at Lincheng Experimental Middle School.
Lincheng Experimental Middle School is a key middle school, and being able to study there shows that Cai Ping's academic performance is still very good.
It's summer vacation now, and Cai Ping will help her mother work in the laundry after finishing her homework every day. However, the laundry is not open today, so Fu Hong and the others found their home.
"Pingping, go to Aunt Li's house to play for a while." Cai Juan sent her daughter away after hearing Fu Hong and the others explain their purpose.
Fu Hong looked at the place where the mother and daughter lived. It was less than twenty square meters, and there was only one big bed in the room. On a very old TV cabinet was a 27-inch color TV, and next to it was a three-door wardrobe. It should be a bit old. There was a dining table, three chairs, and sofas.
There was a photo frame on the bedside table, inside it was a photo, a photo of the mother and daughter. Both of them were smiling, especially Cai Ping's smile was very bright. Next to the photo frame were several medicine bottles. Fu Hong picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it. One bottle was an anti-cancer drug.
Cai Juan was pouring water for the two of them. When Fu Hong checked the medicine bottle on the bedside table, she said lightly: "Those are my medicines. I have to live until now with these medicines. The house is messy, so you can sit at the dining table." She said as she placed the poured two glasses of water on the dining table.
