NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Reversal, The Murderer Is Some1 Else!
Inside the cafe.
Not many guests at night.
There were only three people at the front desk, two men and one woman.
The two men are a barista and a waiter.
The other woman is Liu Xi, the female owner of the cafe.
Ning Cheng has sat here a few times and is familiar with the makeup of the cafe.
The coffee shop is owned by Liu Xi, the female owner, who is usually responsible for the operation and reception of the coffee shop.
Male baristas are in charge of specialty hand-ground coffee, and waiters are in charge of regular coffee and helping customers.
Ning Cheng looked at Liu Xi, the female owner of the cafe, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
He thought that the murderer of Sun Huirong might be a man, and he had a conflict with Wang Peng.
But in the end it didn’t happen.
The murderer turned out to be a woman, and it was Liu Xi, the female owner of the cafe.
Did Wang Peng offend Liu Xi, the old lady in the cafe?
Why did she put the suspicion on his head?
Why did Liu Xi, the female owner of the cafe, kill Sun Huirong?
What irreconcilable conflict exists between the two?
Looking at Liu Xi, the female owner of the cafe, Ning Cheng was lost in thought.
the other side.
Team leader Zhou Ziyan noticed Ning Cheng’s strangeness, and also stared at Liu Xi, the female boss at the front desk, as well as the barista and waiter.
“That is…….”
Zhou Ziyan has rich experience in criminal investigation and has a vicious eye. At first glance, she noticed a red mark on the male barista’s neck, as if he had been scratched.
“According to the autopsy results, Sun Huirong fought fiercely with the murderer before she died, and her fingernails were broken, which may have scratched the murderer.”
Zhou Ziyan sank in her heart and realized that something was wrong with this group of people.
“Hello, we are the police!”
Zhou Ziyan was not polite at all, and directly showed her police officer ID.
While showing the police officer’s ID.
Her eyes were fixed on the change in the male barista’s expression.
Sure enough, at this moment, Zhou Ziyan noticed that the male barista Wen Zhengqian was a little flustered.
Ning Cheng also noticed the panicked expression of the male barista Wen Zhengqian.
Strangely, compared to the male barista Wen Zhengqian, the real murderer’s female boss, Liu Xi, seemed relatively calm.
But only in relative terms.
Liu Xi was also a little nervous, but quickly calmed down.
“Across the river from your cafe, there was a murder case.”
Zhou Ziyan turned on her phone and showed a photo of Sun Huirong:
“This is the deceased Sun Huirong, who was pushed down the river and drowned. Do you know each other?”
The barista Wen Zhengqian quickly shook his head and denied: “I don’t know, I don’t know!”
Zhou Ziyan did not let go of the cafe owner Liu Xi and asked, “How about you?”
“I know, I’ve met a few times, and it seems that I’ve come to the store to drink coffee a few times!” Liu Xi covered his head and recalled thoughtfully.
“Yes, her parents did say she came here for coffee!”
Zhou Ziyan’s eyes were sharp, and she forced the male barista Wen Zhengqian to say:
“She has an impression. As the barista in the store, don’t you have an impression of Sun Huirong?”
“Sun Huirong’s appearance is not low, will you not be impressed?”
“I…” The barista touched the ring of the ring finger with his fingers, hesitated for a while, and said, “I’m usually busy with work, so I may have seen her, but I don’t have an impression.”
Zhou Ziyan asked several questions one after another, her brows getting deeper and deeper.
“I’m going to retrieve the video surveillance of the cafe last night for investigation and inspection!”
In an instant, the barista Wen Zhengqian’s pupils condensed, and his body shuddered.
Zhou Ziyan became more and more suspicious of the barista’s ghost, but did not show it.
It didn’t take long for the female boss Liu Xi to retrieve the video surveillance from last night.
After Zhou Ziyan glanced roughly, she suddenly glared at the barista Wen Zhengqian:
“You said you have no impression of Sun Huirong, what is this in the picture?”
“This freeze-frame picture shows that you are sitting beside Sun Huirong and chatting and laughing when there are no customers in the store.”
“Yesterday’s picture, you forgot today?”
“I…….”
The barista Wen Zhengqian was speechless. Looking at the video, he kept shaking his head and said:
“I met Sun Huirong, but I’m not a murderer!”
At the same time, Ning Cheng was also looking through the surveillance video records.
According to surveillance in the cafe.
About 8:05 pm, the deceased Sun Huirong was drinking coffee in a cafe.
Seeing that there were no customers, the barista Wen Zhengqian chatted across from Sun Huirong. After about ten minutes, Sun Huirong got up and left the cafe.
The video has no sound, and the conversation between the two is unknown.
“What did you and Sun Huirong say in the video?” Zhou Ziyan stared at Wen Zhengqian and said.
“I asked Sun Huirong to watch the play, and she agreed.”
At this time, Wen Zhengqian said everything and said anxiously:
“I really didn’t kill Sun Huirong!”
Zhou Ziyan was unmoved and asked, “When is the drama?”
“There was a drama at 9 o’clock last night, but Sun Huirong didn’t show up for the appointment, and she didn’t answer my call!”
Zhou Ziyan’s eyes narrowed.
According to the autopsy of Ning Cheng and Director Chen, the death time of the deceased Sun Huirong was between 9-10 o’clock last night.
This time happened to be the time when Wen Zhengqian asked Sun Huirong.
“Sun Huirong didn’t make an appointment, where have you been?” Zhou Ziyan continued to ask.
“I didn’t come to the appointment, and I didn’t answer the phone. I was a little angry, so I just went back to my rental house!”
“You mean, you didn’t go to the drama, you went home, someone gave you a testimony, did you prove it?” Zhou Ziyan pressed step by step.
Wen Zhengqian’s face turned pale and said, “I don’t know, I’m the only one in my family!”
The alibi is not sufficient, and Zhou Ziyan’s suspicion of Wen Zhengqian is growing.
“You have certain suspicions, you need to go to the police station with us first for further investigation!”
“If you weren’t the murderer, our police wouldn’t wrong you, and they’d bring you back!”
Zhou Ziyan’s eyes indicated that the surrounding criminal police had already watched Wen Zhengqian.
“I’m really not a murderer!” Wen Zhengqian trembled and his face turned pale.
Zhou Ziyan simply motioned to the team members and said, “Take it away first, and make a copy of the surveillance!”
“and many more!”
At this moment, Ning Cheng shook his head and said, “That barista Wen Zhengqian is indeed not the murderer.”.
