All suspects have alibi, and He Jiahui also needs to verify these alibi.

The easiest thing to verify is assistant Chen Weiting. He was not on the island last night, and the ferry ticket he provided was indeed for the six o'clock ferry last night.

However, for the sake of caution, Ho Jiahui still contacted the Immigration Department to check whether Chen Weiting had gone to Macau.

"The Immigration Department just responded to the message. They found that Chen Weiting left the Hong Kong and Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan last night, took a boat to Macau, and returned at ten o'clock this morning."

He Jiahui nodded and said: "Assistant Chen Weiting's suspicion can be eliminated. The deceased's death time was between two and four in the morning, and Chen Weiting had left Cheung Chau Island at six o'clock yesterday afternoon and had just returned by boat.

He has no possibility of committing a crime."

Then, He Jiahui turned to Liangbao and asked Liangbao: "Jiangbao, how is the inspection of Cai Mulin's camera?"

Liangbao said: "I have connected the camera with a data cable. There are many photos in it, and there are indeed many photos. The creation time of the photos shows that they were taken between two and four o'clock yesterday morning."

"What's the interval between photos?" He Jiahui asked next.

Liang Bao then answered: "The longest interval between photos is more than 20 minutes, and the shortest is one minute, and during this period, the photos were taken of the lighted night scene of Hong Kong Island opposite, which means that his shooting location,

It is on the northeast coast of Cheung Chau Island.

Calculating this way, he should not have the possibility of committing a crime. The round trip from the northeastern coast to the B&B takes more than 20 minutes. Plus the time to commit the crime, it is not enough at all. If he is the murderer, it is impossible to take so many photos

photo."

"It seems that the suspicion of cameraman Cai Mulin can be ruled out for the time being!" He Jiahui took a deep breath, then picked up the police hat and put it on, and then said: "Let's go visit and see if the alibi of the other three people is

true."

Du Xiaohe immediately followed and asked, "Where should we go first?"

"Let's go to Aunt Xian's B&B first!" He Jiahui said.

"Wait for me, I'll go too!" Taishan, Du Xiaohe's licking dog, immediately followed.

…

The three of them arrived at Aunt Xian's B&B and saw the couple renting the B&B.

"Don't be nervous, you two. We came here just to verify whether Aunt Xian left last night." He Jiahui said.

Taishan next to him clumsily took out a small notebook and planned to record it.

After all, Taishan has no experience in investigating criminal cases, and is still using the methods taught in the police academy and recording confessions.

However, He Jiahui took out the voice recorder directly. This thing is much more reliable than taking notes in a small notebook.

"Why did you bring a voice recorder!" Taishan suddenly felt that he had been hit by dimensionality reduction again.

He Jiahui continued to ask: "You two, I heard that you played mahjong with Aunt Xian and his wife last night. Can you explain in detail?"

The man in the couple said, "The outlying islands are relatively deserted at night and there are no entertainment options, so we came back after dark yesterday.

I was bored, so I happened to see a mahjong table in the B&B, so I asked Aunt Xian and the couple to play mahjong together. We played until almost two o'clock. Aunt Xian was already a little sleepy at that time, so we went back separately.

It’s time to sleep in the room.”

"So you can't confirm whether Aunt Xian went out after two o'clock in the morning?" He Jiahui asked.

"I think she has never been out!" the man continued; "After returning to the room after playing mahjong, we did not go to sleep immediately.

When we really want to go to bed, it will be almost four o'clock in the morning! During this period, there is no movement outside. If Aunt Xian leaves, we should be able to hear it."

A young couple did not go to bed immediately after returning to the room. He Jiahui could naturally guess what they were doing.

"From two o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the morning, two hours, this guy's physical fitness is quite good." He Jiahui thought to himself.

If the young couple's account is true, then Aunt Xian can basically rule out suspicion.

Next, He Jiahui went to Brother Qiang's food stall, and he could prove that director Xue Chaohui was in the hospital all night.

Brother Qiang's wonton noodles are pretty good, but the quantity is a bit small. He Jiahui didn't feel full even after eating two bowls.

As soon as I arrived near Brother Qiang's food stall, I heard a woman's irritable voice.

"Feng Zhiqiang, did you take the money away again and go find that vixen?"

"No, it really didn't happen this time. Someone stole the money. The locks on the drawers were all picked open, and it's not like you didn't see it," said a man.

"Who knows if you were a thief who deliberately pried open the drawer in order to take away the money?"

The man and woman were obviously quarreling, so He Jiahui asked: "It seems that the relationship between brother Qiang and sister-in-law Qiang is not good!"

Du Xiaohe replied: "This is not the first time they have quarreled. The couple have been married for more than ten years and have been quarreling for more than ten years. The neighbors have long been used to it."

He Jiahui and others walked over following the sound and saw Brother Qiang and his wife Qiang Sao quarreling.

When Brother Qiang saw He Jiahui, he immediately said, "Sir is here, just in time. I want to report the crime. The money I put in the drawer was stolen!"

Sister-in-law Qiang said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is clearly taking the money to find some vixen! Sir, please arrest him quickly, interrogate him carefully, and let him confess to the vixen!"

"Brother Qiang, Sister Qiang, one of you wants to report a crime to me, and the other wants to arrest someone, which makes me confused. What happened?" He Jiahui asked.

Brother Qiang immediately explained: "Sir, it's like this. Yesterday I went to the hospital because of food poisoning. When I came back this morning, I found that the lock on the drawer had been picked open and the money I put in the drawer was stolen.

But my wife said that I took the money away and went to find another woman."

"Sir, he just used money to find other women! And this is not the first time he has done this. Every time he stays up at night, he must be looking for a sweetheart!" Qiang's wife said viciously.

Brother Qiang immediately defended: "I didn't go back last night because I went to the hospital because of food poisoning!"

When it came to going to the hospital for food poisoning, He Jiahui asked, "Brother Qiang, did you go to the hospital alone or with others?"

"I went with a guest. The man said he was a director and came to the island to shoot commercials and also wanted to shoot a campaign video for me. I thought it would be good if I could shoot a promotional video for free, so I bought him a drink.

Bottle of beer.

Maybe the beer was too cold. The director said he had a stomachache. After all, he was my guest. I was worried that something might happen to him, so I sent him to the hospital. But when I got to the hospital, I also had a stomachache, and then I was in the hospital.

I waited all night and saw a doctor early today."

"I think the beer is expired!" The wife-in-law next to her snorted coldly, and then said: "Sir, he is selling expired beer, arrest him!"

"Sister Qiang, selling expired beer is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration." He Jiahui showed a wry smile and then asked: "Brother Qiang, you stayed in the hospital all night, and the director you mentioned has also been staying with you.

Together?"

Brother Qiang nodded: "Yes, we were in the emergency room of the hospital all night. Besides, he had eaten at my place. If something goes wrong, I will definitely take responsibility.

So I didn't dare to leave until I saw the doctor. If he relied on me, I wouldn't know. Later, we met the doctor and took medicine. The situation got much better, and then we slept in the hospital again."

"It seems that director Xue Chaohui's alibi is correct." He Jiahui thought to himself.

The alibi of four people have been verified, and the actor Zhang Shaoyu is left next.

Qiang's wife still didn't trust Brother Qiang, so he said, "Sir, don't believe him. He is just talking nonsense. He must have had a secret meeting with some vixen last night!"

He Jiahui had to explain: "Sister-in-law Qiang, you really misunderstood Brother Qiang this time. What he said is true, because we have found the director who had food poisoning. His narrative was the same as Brother Qiang's, saying that because

I had food poisoning and stayed in the hospital all night. We came here to find Brother Qiang to verify this matter."

After getting his name corrected by the police, Brother Qiang immediately straightened up his back, as if he were a slave who had turned over and sang.

"Look, I told you everything. I went to the hospital last night, but you didn't believe me! Now Sir has cleared my name!"

"You have so many past records with vixens, who knows if you actually went to the hospital!" Qiang's wife said not to be outdone.

The two were about to quarrel again. He Jiahui quickly came out to smooth things over. He changed the topic and asked: "Brother Qiang, the money you put in the drawer was stolen. Do you want to call the police?"

"Call the police, of course!" Brother Qiang said immediately.

"Then take me to the scene to have a look!" He Jiahui said immediately.

Brother Qiang took He Jiahui into the food stall, then pointed to his drawer and said, "This is the drawer. I locked it, but it was pried open."

He Jiahui put on gloves and checked it, and found that the lock had indeed been damaged artificially, but there were no other clues.

"Brother Qiang, how much money did you lose?" He Jiahui asked next.

"Almost 20,000 yuan! Yesterday's business was very good. From afternoon to evening, there were constant customers. I was still thinking about making a small profit, but it turned out that it was a day's work in vain, and I had to cover the cost of ingredients." Qiang

Brother let out a long sigh.

"Brother Qiang, have you ever been robbed before?" He Jiahui asked again.

"I don't have anything valuable here, except for a set of kitchen utensils, some spices, drinks in the freezer, and the rest are tables, chairs and benches. What thief would come here to steal things!" Brother Qiang said.

"Didn't you put money in this drawer? It's 20,000 yuan. How can you avoid attracting thieves?" He Jiahui asked.

Brother Qiang replied: "I usually don't put money in the drawer. Because there is no one at the food stall at night, so I take the money home after the business ends every day.

But last night, I met a customer with food poisoning. I was in a hurry to send him to the hospital, so I locked the money here. Unexpectedly, it was actually stolen."

He Jiahui continued to ask: "Brother Qiang, do you have surveillance installed here? If there is surveillance, we can find the thief by calling the surveillance."

"How can he be so stingy as to be willing to install surveillance cameras?" Qiang's wife's voice sounded from the side.

He Jiahui looked around and saw that there was indeed no surveillance camera installed in the food stall.

He Jiahui sighed: "Without surveillance, this would be a bit difficult. There are more than 20,000 residents on the island, plus tourists come every day. If you want to find the thief, it's really like looking for a needle in a haystack! Brother Qiang, you have to have a mentality.

Be prepared, you may not get your stolen money back."
