It was a lie from Wu Mei, and it was meant to send Ding Wei away. She spoke so quickly, as if she had prepared an unthinking line. It was her unhurried reply that aroused Ding Wei's suspicion. He couldn't help but take a glance at the room. Just at this critical moment, Ding Wei saw a young man flash past her from behind.

"Who is he?" Ding Wei asked.

"Yes," Wu Mei said after a moment's hesitation. "He's a guest of our family."

Wu Ji had told Wu Mei everything he saw when he came down from the Qiu Yun Mountain. He had been hiding at Wu Mei's house all this while, hoping to show himself after things had resolved itself. Until now, Woogie had maintained a close relationship with MarRong, while Wu Mei had a favorable impression of her. Wu Ji's sister, Wu Mei, had single-handedly facilitated the relationship between Wu Ji and Ma Rong. Wu Ji hoped that they would soon end the relationship and enter the marriage hall. As far as Wu Ji was concerned, he didn't reject Ma Rong because he didn't want to embarrass and hurt his sister. When Wu Mei learned of the death at the foot of the mountain, she feared that Wu Ji had gotten himself into trouble and ended up losing Ma Rong. So, on this occasion, Wu Mei didn't want anyone to visit Wu Ji.

But Dingway still didn't believe what she said, and stood there motionless.

"I already know he's here."

Wu Mei lowered her tone. "He's on a business trip —"

Before he could finish, Wu Ji walked out from the room with a pale face.

"Ji'er, you —" Wu Mei obviously didn't expect that Wu Ji would drag his weak body over, so she walked over to help Wu Ji as she spoke.

"Sister, let Officer Ding in." Woogie pushed her hand away.

Wu Mei had to let Ding Wei in.

"A doctor?" Ding Wei looked at Woogie's haggard face and asked.

Woogie shook his head. "I have a heart attack. Doctors can't cure it."

After entering the room, DingWei said, "Did you know? An important accident occurred at the Qiu Yunsan beneath the Goose-Ridge Valley. A man and a woman were found dead in the Grand Canyon. The police call it the canyon double. "

"What?" Woogie was taken aback.

Ding Wei noticed the strange expression on Woogie's face.

"Don't you know?"

"I don't know."

"About the two corpses in the canyon." Ding Wei paused, "The identity of the victim has been confirmed to be Wang Kaili and Ah San. On the basis of my speculations and their investigation, the police have tentatively identified it as an accident. However, there is one point that I am unable to unravel. "

"What doubts?"

"According to entomological evidence, a third person was at the scene. The police found out that you and your girlfriend entered Qiu Yunsan on June 19th."

"What are you trying to say?" Wu Ji was secretly shocked, but he did not reveal it on the surface. He couldn't help but to admire Ding Wei from the bottom of his heart.

"The preliminary conclusion of the police was an accident, but I don't think so. I think there was a deliberate murder. "

"What?" Wu Ji was shocked again.

"Because I found out that the gate at the bottom of the reservoir was open. The foundation was built in the sixties and was hammered by a hundred strong laborers. Although it was not pressed down with a press, it was strengthened by plant roots and made even stronger. There had been a great flash flood in the eighties, and it had not been washed away, so this brief storm could not have destroyed the reservoir. Wang Kaili and Ah San were drowned by the water while hiding in a cave not far from the reservoir to avoid the rain. You see, the outburst of the flood was not enough to drown the two of them, but it was the release of the water from the reservoir and the rush of the flood down from the mountain that eventually led to their failure to leave the cave alive. The cave was located in an extremely low location, and there was only one exit. The two of them floated out after drowning and were washed down to the open area below. "

"But, Officer Ding, can't they escape?"

"As you can imagine, the water in the reservoir went down in a flash, and there was a lot of it. The cave was already dark, and the sound of the rain and wind outside was extremely loud. It almost covered up the sound of the flood. Like this, they lost their vigilance from before. A place that was originally very safe immediately took their lives. There was a hump of earth at the mouth of the cave that could block out some of the flooding. But the water rushing down from the reservoir is too fierce, and the two of them may have gone through a lot of physical labor, so they are in dire need of rest, but before they can recover their physical strength, they encountered this deadly flood. " What Dingwei said sounded surprising, but what he said made sense from the perspective of scientific and objective facts.

"So you think I did it?"

Ding Wei did not answer directly, but continued, "This third person came to the scene again after the heavy rain to check if the two were drowned by the water. Unexpectedly, when this person saw Wang Kaili's plump body, Beast King X went berserk and forcefully killed her. "

After saying that, Ding Wei smiled at Wu Ji.

"And then?" Zhou Zhiqiang had long hated Wang Kaili and wanted to get rid of her control over him. Could it be that Zhou Zhiqiang was trying to trick Wang Kaili into going up the Qiu Yunsan and waiting for an opportunity to kill her? However, the adulterous corpses that happened later didn't seem to be the actions of a person like Zhou Zhiqiang. If he had pretended to be close to Wang Kaili, he wouldn't have died like this. Moreover, if Zhou Zhiqiang really wanted to vent his anger, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a pretty woman with his power and money. He wouldn't go up the mountain and rape a corpse, and the victim was a woman he was once familiar with.

"I want evidence from you to confirm my theory. "Because you've been to Qiu Yunsan's place on the day of the murder, so you might be able to see certain scenes. These scenes might partially corroborate my story."

"Thank you for not suspecting me."

"The reason I came straight to you, rather than to the Lai City Police Department, was that I was afraid you might have some kind of trouble with the Lai City Police Department."

As he said so, Ding Wei kept thinking, why did Wu Ji want to go up Qiu Yunsan as well? Why was it such a coincidence? Wang Kaili had gone to Qiu Yunsan at the same time as well. This was the doubt in his heart. Since Wu Ji didn't say anything, he didn't want to pursue this matter further. Would it affect Woogie if he told all these questions to the police? That was what worried him.

"Why?"

"If I put all the doubts of the incident — and they've always made it clear — they'll redefine the nature of the murder, and all those who have been on the scene will be listed as suspects. Can you wash your innocence? So it would have been better if the Lai City police hadn't been involved. That way there would have been fewer people to know about it. "

"Are you going to find out who was the third person on the scene?" Woogie asked.

"Yes, the police in Lai City have ascertained that this was an accident, and presumably the perpetrator was hiding behind his back and chuckling to himself. In this way, the opponent will inevitably lose his vigilance, and in certain aspects, it may even reveal the tiniest of flaws. "

"How do you find out?"

"This kind of thing, the key is to obtain conclusive evidence that the perpetrator was present during the time of the incident."

"So you're interested in this case?"

"Ever since I went through some things in Hunan, I've been thinking, what's wrong with Lai City?" On the surface, Wang Kaili's death and Lin's death didn't seem to be related, but I felt that what happened wasn't as simple as what we saw on the surface, because the motive and reason for each crime was unclear. Although the police now believe that a murderer has been found, he committed suicide. "

Woogie looked at Ding Wei with a complicated look in his eyes. After a long while, he said slowly, "Have you never suspected Zhou Zhiqiang?"

"Well, as far as the evidence is concerned, it's not his for the time being. There must be grounds for suspicion. "

"Zhou Zhiqiang doesn't like Wang Kaili, but Wang Kaili likes Zhou Zhiqiang, and there are a lot of important decisions that Zhou Zhiqiang listens to. As far as I know, Zhou Zhiqiang only expressed his willingness to help Yang Xue, but Wang Kelly already taught Yang Xue a lesson. How could Zhou Zhiqiang not hate her? "

"You mean, Wang Kaili became a stumbling block for Zhou Zhiqiang in some aspects, so …"

"I didn't say that Zhou Zhiqiang would definitely do anything to Wang Kai Li. I'm just stating the facts. "And..." Woogie looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What?" You said I wouldn't take what you said as evidence. "

"Would Zhou Zhiqiang already know Lin Zhanyun's identity?"
