Chapter 157: Face to Face

Chapter 157: Face to Face

Chen Kang recognized the person in front of him.

He is a special guest on the live broadcast of Murder Chase, playing the role of a simulated fugitive on the run, Su Chen.

Logically speaking, Su Chen and the owner of a canteen like him should not have a close relationship. However, at the first sight of this man, Chen Kang felt inexplicably intimidated.

This person named Su Chen seems to have an aura about him. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Being able to escape for so long is not a script of a variety show.

Chen Kang laughed twice, closed the cabinet door, and asked calmly:

"What are you doing? This place is full of primary school supplies, so I don't think I have what you need."

"It's not a very important matter. I'll leave immediately after it's done."

Su Chen closed the door of the canteen and leaned back on the shelf. He looked at Chen Kang with a pair of dark eyes:

"I heard that a lot of things happened after I hijacked the Platinum City Chess Academy. I'm curious about this and want to know more about it."

Chen Kang looked at his watch:

"Then you have to hurry up."

"Don't worry, it won't take too long."

Su Chen smiled, seemingly very determined, and suddenly said seriously:

"Chen Kang, after I left the Baijin City Chess Academy, you came to the Baijin City Chess Academy at almost eight o'clock in the evening. After a brief contact with a little girl in white and Zhao Ping..."

"At about 8:20 in the evening, you came to the supermarket near Qiyuan in Baijin City, and you were almost in a relationship with the little girl."

When Chen Kang heard this, his expression condensed, and he looked at Su Chen with something intriguing in his eyes:

"Are you deliberately investigating me?"

"It's just that I escaped into the police station and saw some information by chance. It's normal for a fugitive to learn something unexpected while on the run."

Su Chen waved his hand:

"Let me get back to the point. You were in the supermarket at 8:20 in the evening, and exactly at 8:30, a shocking kidnapping of a young girl occurred in that supermarket. "

"The victim is that little girl. I wonder what you think?"

"Since you have read the police information, you should also have read my answers to the inquiries at that time."

Chen Kang shrugged:

"I don't want to waste my time explaining it again."

"Then let me put it simply. I sorted out the timeline while I was on the run and pieced together a possibility."

Su Chen smiled slightly and said:

"The time when the little girl was kidnapped was 8:30 in the evening, but strangely, the murderer who kidnapped the little girl was found dead that night."

"The time of death was between 9:35 pm and 9:55 pm."

"After this, the Shirogane City Police arrived at the scene at 10:05 pm and found the body."

"In other words, the kidnapper failed to kill the little girl from 8:30 to 9:55, an hour's time."

Speaking of this, Su Chen suddenly changed the topic and calmly looked at Chen Kang in front of him:

"I think it's a coincidence that you happened to be nearby at the time. Could it be that you rescued the little girl? You must have liked that child, right?"

"You have a vivid imagination."

Chen Kang said nonchalantly:

"But I don't want to waste any more words. The police information should clearly state that I was not there at that time. I was exterminating rats in a house."

"I don't have time to rescue that little girl. Your assumption is invalid."

"not necessarily."

Su Chen placed a piece of A4 paper with drawings on it lightly on Chen Kang's table.

What was painted on it was the "delayed death device" that Su Chen had speculated earlier.

Chen Kang picked up the picture and frowned.

"The supermarket is only about ten minutes' drive from where the body was found, so I think we can recalculate the time sequence."

Su Chen said:

"My guess, just a guess, is that at 8:20, you left the supermarket early, rushed to the bungalow where the case occurred, and stayed there."

"Around 8:40, the kidnapper took the little girl hostage and returned to the bungalow."

"At this time, you controlled the kidnapper and hung him on a 'delayed death device' similar to this. After you succeeded, you left."

"After you left, you went to the house where the rats needed to be exterminated to create an alibi. In this way, after 9:30, when the ice in the delayed death device melted and the kidnapper was hanged, you happened to be in the house. The house is rid of rats.”

With that said, Su Chen placed the A4 paper with the method of making the secret room in front of Chen Kang.

"The police arrived at the scene at 10:05, and according to the records, you left the gate of their community at 9:55."

"You have ten minutes to go to the bungalow where the crime occurred in the bungalow community - it's only a few minutes' walk from the entrance of that family's community - you recover the rope, arrange the secret room, and then leave. "

"Although time is a little tight, but - I think you must have practiced this process many times, right? It is not difficult to succeed once."

"No, that's not right. The time crunch should not be something you expected. You almost screwed up. You didn't expect the police to arrive at the crime scene so quickly. You gave yourself enough time. Do you know why they arrived so quickly? ?”

Su Chen stepped forward, walked to the counter, and smiled:

"Because it was me, I found the location of the little girl and notified the Platinum City Police at the first time."

Chen Kang's hand holding the A4 paper moved slightly.

He realized that the participation and information of the person in front of him were definitely more than he thought.

But he glanced at Su Chen, and his tone was still very calm.

"It's a very interesting guess."

Chen Kang said:

"But, unfortunately, your guess has a fatal loophole..."

He hasn't finished speaking.

Su Chen's pocket suddenly rang with a ringtone of a letter.

Su Chen: ·······

He took out his mobile phone and found that the letter was from the female detective who took the initiative to add him in the forum of the Detective Association.

Agatha's member, the world's top detective.

The message was very simple, with only one sentence:

[I want to talk to you. ]

Su Chen glanced at Chen Kang behind the counter, typing non-stop, and replied:

[Wait a moment. ]

After sending the message, he put the phone in his pocket.

Facing Chen Kang, Su Chen was about to speak when his phone rang again.

Agatha Association member:

[This matter is urgent, it's better not to wait. ]

[Sister, I'm really busy now, I have something important to do, very important!! ]

What's wrong with this person, why did he contact her now instead of earlier or later...

Su Chen had no choice but to reply helplessly under Chen Kang's gaze:

[I beg you, please wait a little longer, I will contact you as soon as I finish my work here, it's settled! ]

"Ahem."

Ignore the other party's reply, just mute it and put it in your pocket.

Su Chen returned to the topic and looked at Chen Kang:

"You said there is a loophole in my guess?"
