Xihuayuan, in the restaurant.

As Chu Mufeng walked in, all the noise disappeared, and everyone looked over nervously. They all wanted to know who was the murderer hiding in the darkness.

Only by pulling it out can everyone feel at ease.

"Everyone, I believe you should be like me now, and you all want to pull out the murderer and bring it to justice as soon as possible. Then the question becomes very simple. I am responsible for investigating and inquiring, and you just need to answer it."

"If I have no objection, I will start now." Chu Mufeng said slowly after glanced at the audience.

"Police Officer Chu, you can start!" Dong Zhuo said after coughing dryly.

"The first thing I want to ask is Lin Pinghe!"

Chu Mufeng looked over slightly and asked brightly: "Lin Pinghe, when Manager Zheng and I went to church, he said that you went to church to get a ladder, right?"

"right!"

Lin Pinghe was not afraid or nervous, and said naturally: "It's true that I want to go to the church to get a ladder, because the strong wind and sand just now made the hotel dirty. I want to wipe it. This was arranged by Manager Zheng, and she can testify to me."

"Yes, that's right, I can testify that I asked him to get the ladder!" Zheng Yujiao nodded and said.

"Then have you got the ladder?" Chu Mufeng continued to ask.

"No!"

Lin Pinghe shook his head, pointed to the side and said, "When I was about to walk to the church, Sister Lou called me to help clean the backyard, and I followed directly. Sister Lou can testify about this, and Master Niu can also testify, because Master Niu was in the kitchen at that time and could see Sister Lou and me cleaning in the backyard."

"Pinghe is right, I did see it, I can testify!" Niu Gensheng rubbed his hands and said honestly.

"Officer Chu, I called Lin Pinghe to help clean it. This was ordered by Boss Dong. He said that the white sand in the front yard could be kept silent, but the back yard must be cleaned out quickly, otherwise, if it rains, the back yard will be unable to be cleaned, and there will be mud everywhere."

Lou Yuwei said for granted that what the boss told him was naturally the top priority.

"Is that true? Boss Dong!" Chu Mufeng looked to the side.

“Yes, yes!”

Dong Zhuo put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Officer Chu, this is the case in our Banxian Hotel. The front yard is hardened and we are not afraid of sand, but the back yard is different. Not only does it plant flowers, most places are mud land."

"If I don't take advantage of the fact that Baisha is gone, it will be troublesome when it rains. I asked Lou Yuwei to go find Lin Pinghe to solve this matter quickly. Yes, it was my order!"

"If you say so, Lin Ping and you didn't walk into the church, so naturally you didn't see Chu Wuyuan who was hanging, and you didn't move the ladder, right?" Chu Mufeng drew in the void.

"Yes, Officer Chu, I really didn't see it!" Lin Pinghe nodded and responded.

"Okay! Then this question comes to an end."

Chu Mufeng found that this question was no longer possible to continue, so he immediately left it aside and looked for a new entry point. This is also a skill for interrogation.

Maybe start with other questions and you will find clues soon.

"My second question is the absent proof." Chu Mufeng stood up and paced slowly and said.

"What's the proof of absence?" Sun Xiaolong asked in surprise.

"Let me say that, who is the last one to see Chu Wuyuan?" Chu Mufeng asked after scanning the audience.

Finally saw Chu Wuyuan?

"I sat with Chu Wuyuan during lunch, but everyone was eating here at that time, so it was not the last time I saw him?" Gu Zijun raised his hand and said.

"We had a meal at twelve o'clock noon. Chu Wuyuan was indeed still there at that time, so it should not be the last time we met. What I want to ask is that it was later than this time period. Has anyone ever seen him?" Chu Mufeng waved his hand and signaled that Gu Zijun's answer was irrelevant, and then continued to ask.

"I didn't see him!"

"Neither I!"

Sun Da'an and Gan Susu shook their heads. After dinner, they left the restaurant and returned to their respective rooms. When they came out again, someone had already called it snowing, so they had never seen Chu Wuyuan during this period.

"I've seen him." Zheng Yujiao suddenly said.

"When?" Chu Mufeng asked.

"It's about 2:30 p.m.!"

Zheng Yujiao recalled and said, and after saying this time, she nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it should be half past two. In fact, it's not just me, Lin Pinghe, Lou Yuwei and Master Niu should have seen it."

"At that time, we were in the hall and discussed tomorrow's reception. Chu Wuyuan happened to walk over from the other side. I subconsciously looked at the watch, and it was half past two."

"Yes, I saw it, too."

Niu Gensheng said in a deep voice: "We held a meeting from 2:20. We had a meeting for twenty minutes, so I went back to the kitchen. I looked at the table below at that time, it was 2:40. So, if we were estimating the time, Manager Zheng was right at 2:30."

"I saw it too!" Lin Pinghe followed suit.

"Okay, now the question is here. Has anyone ever seen Chu Wuyuan after 2:30?" Chu Mufeng clapped his hands, attracted everyone's eyes and asked.

The people in Banxian Hotel shook their heads, meaning they didn't see them.

“We didn’t see it either.”

After asking Gan Susu for a while, Sun Xiaolong and the others said they had never seen each other after 2:30.

Chu Mufeng grabbed this point and said with a sharp look: "If you say so, things will become very simple, that is, after 2:30, Chu Wuyuan lost his trace."

"We started dinner at six o'clock. We found out that he was missing and started looking for it. We found it in the church. In other words, Chu Wuyuan was killed between 2:30 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon!"

"right!"

This inference is recognized by everyone.

"Detective Chu, you won't want to ask, from the time between 2:30 and 6:00, all of us have absent certificates, right?"

"If you ask this, this time period will be too long. Within such a long time, we must have our own actions. Is this a bit loose? It's not easy to prove it?" Yue Tong asked with a frown.

"That's right, it's quite scattered."

He raised his hands and pressed the pressure in the void. Chu Mufeng continued to say the words of Yue Tong: "So this time cannot be like this. We must continue to compress. Only by compressing again can we find a clearer clue."

"How to compress it?" Yue Tong looked curious.

When everyone's eyes were focused on themselves, Chu Mufeng said in a deep voice: "When Manager Zheng and I discovered Chu Wuyuan's body, the exact time should be 6:00. On this time period, the only thing Lin Pinghe was on the way from Xihuayuan to the church was except for the footprints of the two of us!"

"Of course, when you approach the church, Lou Yuwei appeared! Only the four of us had the clearest footprints left. I want to ask Manager Zheng, when did you ask Lin Pinghe to move the ladder? "

"It's half past five!"

Zheng Yujiao said affirmatively: "I asked him to move the ladder at half past five!"

"Five:30! This time is just when Baishaxue just started, right?" Chu Mufeng asked.

"Yes! Because we have experience with Baishaxue, we asked him to move the ladder at the beginning. I just didn't expect that at this time, Boss Dong asked Lou Yuwei to ask Lin Pinghe to clean the backyard first." Zheng Yujiao said in a simplified manner.

"Okay, that's right!"

Chu Mufeng raised his hands in front of him and pointed to the direction of the church and said, "You have all seen it. When Baishaxue just got down, Lin Pinghe went to the church to prepare to move the ladder. Later, when he walked to the door, Lou Yuwei called him to help."

"In other words, Lin Pinghe's shoe prints were left since it snowed. If anyone else entered the church during this period, he would definitely leave footprints, right? But there were no footprints of others left on the church, which means that the murderer did not enter when the white sand was under five o'clock. He had already taken Chu Wuyuan's body over before and hung it on the beam."

When talking about this, Chu Mufeng waved his hand with confidence.

"So I compressed the time period, to the three hours between 2:30 and 5:30! Don't tell me that these three hours are still long, and even if it is long, there is no way, because the murderer killed Chu Wuyuan within this time period, then moved the body to the church and hung it up, and then left quietly!"

Chu Mufeng's voice was ups and downs, and his eyes were bright, "It was this time period, you all talk about where you are? Who is around you? Who can prove that you have no chance of committing a crime during this time period?"

This is the heavyweight problem that Chu Mufeng threw out.

Absent proof!

As long as anyone has evidence to prove that he has something to do during this period, it is impossible to say that he has taken action against Chu Wuyuan. Then this matter will naturally have nothing to do with him. It is a very simple but effective problem that can be cleared of suspicion.

"Does it be between 2:30 and 5:30?"

Yue Tong was the first to raise his hand, and he said calmly: "I have been with Mu Xue for this period of time, and we have never been separated, so we should have no suspicion, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm with Yue Tong!" Jiang Muxue nodded and said.

"You two are together? Isn't there anyone else to prove it? Who knows if what you said is true or false?" Sun Xiaolong said disapprovingly after hearing this.

"Sun Xiaolong, what bullshit are you? We are together. Who else should we prove it? You don't want to say that Chu Wuyuan was killed by us, right?"

"I have no grudges with him, Chu Wuyuan, why do you want to kill him? Besides, even if I want to kill someone, will I take Mu Xue to do this? Am I crazy about gaining and losing my heart? Or do you think Mu Xue will be so crazy with me?"
