"You believe what he said?"

"The time of death is more accurate. Because we got testimony from someone else. "

"Who?" Luo Tuo stood there without moving.

"The fruit shop owner named Zhu Youcai. He's the latest lover of the victim."

"What did he say?"

"He said he called the victim around 12: 15."

"What?" Does he think the victim was alive at the time? "

"No, it was before that the victim asked him to tell her a yellow story, but before he could say anything, the victim said that he heard a noise downstairs, so that when the victim went downstairs to check on the situation, Zhu Youcai was sitting at his friend's house waiting for a reply from the victim. But after a long time, he didn't receive a call from the victim, so Zhu Youcai called the victim twice during that time, but there was no response. After all, it was only a minute or two since the victim was upstairs in her house. "

"So the victim was killed at that time?"

"You could say that."

"In that case, what Chen Huan said might be true?"

"But no one can prove that he entered after the death of his victim."

"True." "Later, did you lock Chen Huan up?"

"I did."

"Why?"

"Not enough evidence."

"Oh."

Sha Lu, south of Changsha City.

Ding Wei parked the car in front of the victim's building, got out of the car, looked around, and walked up the hill. Three hundred meters later, he arrived at a high-rise, and beyond it was a private villa with a modern European style.

There was a middle-aged man walking inside. Ding Wei waved at him, and the man walked over. He was the new owner of the villa, Chen Liang. Dingway showed his police ID card and explained why he was here.

Chen Liang agreed to Ding Wei's request. Ding Wei went straight to the balcony.

Standing on the balcony of the villa, he could clearly see everything around the victim's building. If he had a telescope, he could see even more clearly.

When he asked if there was a couple living here, Chen Liang shook his head to show that he didn't know. Because the name registered on the title certificate is a woman.

"I only know one thing. The mistress must have had quite a few dogs." Chen Liang pointed at a very low building in the villa. "It's a dog house."

"A lot of dogs?"

"When I poured out the garbage I hadn't been able to dispose of, I found a lot of torn photos in the trash. "Out of curiosity, I put the pieces together one by one. It took me an entire day to get it done, but the result of that was that I was shocked by the pictures. They were filled with all kinds of dog corpses." Chen Liang took out his cell phone and pointed at a pile of photos in the album, "Look, I've already taken them all. I want to study how the mistress killed these dogs, because there are no other injuries on the dog's body except for the neck."

"What kind of results did you come up with?" Ding Wei could tell at a glance how the dog had died.

"You see, the marks on the dog's neck are very obvious. It was obviously strangled, and the less obvious possibility is that it was strangled in some other way. Also, different dog straps vary in size and depth, indicating the use of various ropes and varying in strength. This is cruel. "However, thinking about it, it's not right. How could a woman have such strong hand strength?"

"How many dogs are there in all?"

"At least around twenty."

"But, after killing so many dogs, how do we deal with their corpses?"

"It's very simple. There's a private dog meat shop nearby, wouldn't it be great if I sold it to the owner?"

"Is that your guess?"

"No, I often go to a dog meat shop to eat hot pot. I know the owner very well, and once I heard him mention that there was a tall, handsome man who used to provide cheap dog meat to his shop during the last year or so. I thought of the strangled dogs in my villa. So that man must have had a close relationship with the lady of the house. "

The owner of the dog meat store called Ah Niu confirmed Chen Liang's words. In addition, the owner provided Ding Wei with some information, saying that the man was around 30 years old. In order to convince the owner that there was nothing wrong with his dog meat, he would eat a big meal of the dog meat that he had delivered himself.

He went to the Housing Authority to check the name of the owner of the villa and found out that within the few days after the victim was killed, the owner of the villa had already changed. The original owner's name was Xiao Chuhong. Xiao Chuhong bought the villa last March, less than a year after the transfer. Just as the new owner of the villa had said, the owner's gender was indeed female.

Finally, he decided to go to the largest law shop in Changsha and verify the receipt. The bookstore staff confirmed that the receipt was from their bookstore, but had no impression of the holder.

Judging from the information of the people who came and went with the victims, the victims were basically dealing with men who were not well-educated but had some money, such as Chen Huan and Zhu Youcai. It was unlikely that they would meet a reader who went to a bookstore to buy those theoretical and professional law books. Ding Wei carefully recalled the words of Liu Liqin and Liu Xie and organized his thoughts. He felt that the case was becoming clearer and clearer.

Then he went to the Laoshan Hotel in Changsha to inquire about some important meetings or events at the hotel ten years ago. But the hotel contractors had already been replaced, and the waiters and managers were not the same personnel. Ding Wei looked through the historical data and found that ten years ago in May, there were two important meetings at Laoshan Hotel. One was a legal seminar for representatives of the two levels of public security law in Hunan province, held in early May, and the other was a seminar on popular literature organized by the Hunan Writers' Association in mid-May. The list of participants in the seminar could easily be found in the media or in local news. According to this lead, Dingwei found a manager who was responsible for arranging the waiters at the Laoshan Hotel that year. It was confirmed that a young woman named Ah Shuang had worked there as a waitress. In addition, Ah Shuang got to know Chen Huan after the meeting. During the meeting, Frost must have met someone else. But what had happened between them, Dingway was not entirely clear.

Finally, through the public security system, Ding Wei identified Xiao Chuhong as a gynecologist, and her husband was one of the attendees of Laoshan Hotel Law Seminar 10 years ago.

But when he found out that Liu was being followed for fun and that Zhu Youcai had blackmailed another person with a child, Ding Wei knew what was going on.

To Ding Wei, this was a very absurd and almost impossible thing to happen. Even though he had a premonition before this, he preferred not to believe it. However, all the evidence before him told him that this was the truth.

Was strangling a dog just to prepare for a foolproof murder? Ding Wei launched his undercover investigation and found a popular novel, "Suffocating", on a well-known online literature website. The novel's description of the suffocating death process was well-received by young readers, with more than a hundred thousand reviews in the novel.

If the victim was killed by this person, Chen Huan would be innocent.

He would not be able to accept such an outcome.

At that moment, his cell phone rang. He saw that it was from Zhu Youcai.

"I was really sorry for being disturbed by my wife before we even finished talking last time."

"Nothing."

"When I said 12: 15, Ah Shuang didn't answer, but just before 12: 30, she called again."

"What?" Ding Wei's heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

"She said that she heard a noise in the living room and wanted to go to the living room to see if there was a mouse. When she went down to the living room, someone suddenly grabbed her by the neck from behind and she fainted. When she woke up, she felt a little scared and didn't expect that a perverted man in the family would attack her."

"Did she say what kind of man she saw?"

"Yes, she recognized the man. She said he sometimes lived in a villa not far from her house."

"Ha?"
