In fact, at this time, Zhou Mian could basically confirm that this case was an impostor, and the perpetrator was obviously an acquaintance, which was the so-called introvert committing the crime. It was just that the male, male, male, double-swallow couple had a too high popularity during this period, so they took their name and tried to confuse the public. It was similar to the previous cases of impersonation.

First of all, when Lu Mingfeng discovered that it was stolen, the door of the tent was locked, the lock was intact and there were no scratches on the key, which means that the perpetrator opened the door with a key and locked the door after the case was done. The key of the door of the tent was usually placed in the drawer on the counter. When business was open, the drawer was not locked, and sometimes the tent was not locked. Therefore, only the insiders of the cloth store had the opportunity to get in touch with the key, either copy it or steal it directly.

Secondly, the traces left by the crime scene were found. The perpetrator did not search too much at the crime scene. He almost went straight to the large cabinet where the money was put in. After smashing the door of the cabinet, he did not make any extra moves and took away the money in the cabinet. This shows that the perpetrators were very clear about the situation on the scene and the location where the money was placed. Only the insiders of the cloth shop knew so clearly.

Finally, from the time of committing the crime, Lu Mingfeng went out to deliver goods at night, and the timing was just right. This was still only the insiders of the cloth store could master such an accurate time. Moreover, Lu Mingfeng went out to deliver goods at night, and took away four shop staff, so the two shop staff left in the store were also suspected. Of course, Lu Mingfeng's wife, maid and mother who stayed in the store last night were also suspected. In theory, Lu Mingfeng and the four delivery staff also had the possibility of committing the crime. After all, they came back on the fourth day, which was at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, and there was enough time for committing the crime.

However, Zhou Mian decided to start with the two guys who stayed in the store first. Therefore, he asked Lu Mingfeng about the two guys who stayed in the store.

According to Lu Mingfeng's words, the two guys who stayed in the store were Liu Peng and Zhu Xingwei, both of whom were around 25 and 6 years old. The reason why they didn't take them there last night was that when they were delivering night goods last time, they were on a resuming turnover, and they lived in the same room. Liu Peng is a local and started as an apprentice in the cloth shop. He has worked for 10 years. The other Zhu Xingwei is from Shanxi and the descendant of an old friend of Lu Mingfeng's father. Although he came halfway, he worked for 4 years and was very familiar with each other. However, before coming to the cloth shop to work, Lu Mingfeng had heard that Zhu Xingwei had a bad reputation in Datong, was idle and did not do his job properly, but he took him in for the sake of his elders. However, Zhu Xingwei was still honest in the cloth shop. Although he was not active in doing things, he was not lazy, so Lu Mingfeng felt relieved.

Zhou Mian asked these two people again whether they could read or not. Lu Mingfeng's answer was that Liu Peng could read or not, but Zhu Xingwei had been studying for several years, and could write and read. Sometimes he could help Lu Mingfeng do some writing skills such as accounting and writing letters. This was also one of the reasons why Lu Mingfeng took in Zhu Xingwei. After all, it was not easy to find such people who read and read.

After listening to Lu Mingfeng's introduction, Zhou Mian felt a little relieved. Zhu Xingwei's suspicion was obviously greater than that of Liu Peng, but he could not draw a conclusion without definite evidence. So he asked Lu Mingfeng to call Liu Peng for inquiries first. The location of the inquiry was set in the living room of the Second Hospital.

Liu Peng's face was an honest man. When he saw Zhou Mian, he looked a little nervous and stood timidly in front of Zhou Mian, feeling quite at a loss.

Zhou Mian smiled and asked him to sit down first, saying, "Don't worry, your shop was stolen yesterday, and the perpetrator left a note, claiming to be a "male and male swallow", so we asked you to come and just ask you to know some of the situation, as long as you tell the truth."

Liu Peng nodded, and his expression was a little relaxed.

Zhou Mian said: "Last night, after your shopkeeper delivered the goods, you were there."

Liu Peng said: "I'm going back to my room to rest."

Zhou Mian said: "Did you go to bed when you get back to the room?"

Liu Peng shook his head and said, "Is that there's no, because it was still early at that time, and Zhu Xingwei and I played for a while before we could go to bed."

Zhou Mian said: "Did Zhu Xingwei sleep with you?"

Liu Peng said: "He didn't. Before going to bed, he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the cottage, so I went to bed first. But after a while, I heard him calling me, saying that his untied paper had fallen out, so I got up again to deliver the untied paper to him, and then came back to go to bed."

Zhou Mian said: "Have you fallen asleep before you gave Zhu Xingwei the uncensored paper?"

Liu Peng thought for a while and said, "I'm a little confused, but I didn't fall asleep."

Zhou Mian said again: "Then how much time has passed since you fell asleep until you heard Zhu Xingwei call you."

Liu Peng thought about it seriously again, shook his head, and said, "I really can't remember this, because I was a little confused at that time, and I couldn't remember much time. It seemed that it was only two or three incense sticks."

Zhou Mian nodded and said, "Then you will go back to your room to sleep after you send the paper to Zhu Xingwei."

Liu Peng said: "Yes."

Zhou Mian said: "So how long did Zhu Xingwei take to come back?"

Liu Peng said: "It didn't take long. He came back just after I went to bed. He also said he shouldn't have eaten the oily tofu at night, but he ended up having a stomachache."

Zhou Mian said: "So what happened after you went to bed this time."

Liu Peng said: "No, after I went to bed, I fell asleep quickly, and I slept until dawn, and I didn't hear anything."

Zhou Mian said: "Okay, you can sit in the next room for a while first, and we will have something to ask you if we have to wait."

After making arrangements for Liu Peng, he called Zhu Xingwei to ask. Zhu Xingwei knew that he was much smarter than Liu Peng. Although he was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhou Mian, he was not at a loss. He could also say hello to Zhou Mian with a smile on his face, but his eyes were unstable and he did not dare to look at Zhou Mian's eyes.

However, Zhou Mian hasn't seen anyone now, so how could he take a small role like Zhu Xingwei seriously? On the surface, he still kept calm and asked Zhu Xingwei to sit down. The questions asked were similar to Liu Peng, which was what he did last night. Zhu Xingwei's answer was comparable to Liu Peng. First, the two of them were playing guessing stones in the house. When they were sleeping, they went to the cottage because of a stomachache. As a result, they accidentally dropped the paper and had to shout Liu Peng to send him paper. Then they went back to the house to sleep. Because they were sleeping too heavily, they didn't know anything else.

From Zhu Xingwei's words to no problem, Zhou Mian did not ask any questions, and arranged Zhu Xingwei to wait in a room, and then called Lu Mingfeng's wife, maid, and mother to ask them one by one, mainly asking what he did last night and whether he had heard anything. Then according to their answers, he asked other questions. However, Lu Mingfeng's wife, maid, and mother's answers were similar. After Lu Mingfeng left, he went to bed early and did not hear anything.

After asking everyone, Zhou Mian stood up and said to Lu Mingfeng: "Take us to the place where the guy rests."

After hearing this, Lu Mingfeng did not dare to neglect it. He led Zhou Mian and others to leave the reception room. The side door leading to the east-west cross-yard is located between the first and second cross-yards, and it is not far. Even if the straight line distance is not calculated, the maximum journey is only 5 or 60 meters. However, if the door is closed through a courtyard wall, as long as the noise here is not too big, it is indeed difficult to hear it in the east-west cross-yards.

The yard is slender and has a width of only 4 meters. When you enter the door, it is a small courtyard with a row of rooms on one side. However, except for a walkway, the room is only 3 meters wide. Liu Peng and Zhu Xingwei's room is the second one, but it is not big. It is estimated that it is only about 10 square meters at most. Apart from two beds and two cabinets, there is basically no other furniture. Zhou Mian ordered a search, but no valuable things were found. Bijing's house is so big, there are so many furniture, and nothing can be hidden at all.

Although Zhou Mian has basically determined that Zhu Xingwei is a major suspect, the time for the crime was about when he claimed to be in the cottage. He asked Liu Peng to deliver paper to him, just to create a false image that was not at the scene of the crime. Zhu Xingwei was able to think of committing the crime with a male and female swallow, which shows that this person is still a bit clever, so it is entirely possible to create a false image that was not at the scene of the crime.

But handling cases involves evidence. Without sufficient evidence, it is impossible to determine that Zhu Xingwei committed the crime unless Zhu Xingwei can take the initiative to confess and hand over the stolen money, but this is obviously impossible.

Seeing that there was no valuable thing found in the room, Zhou Mian felt aroused in her heart and asked Lu Mingfeng: "Where is the thatched cottage!"

Lu Mingfeng said: "On the other side of the yard."

Zhou Mian nodded and said to Chen Jibai: "You go to the cottage and call me to see if you can hear it here."

After hearing this, Chen Jibai immediately followed Lu Mingfeng and came to the cottage. He shouted a few times, but Zhou Mian couldn't hear it at all in the room. Later, Chen Jibai walked out of the cottage and came to the middle of the courtyard. Zhou Mian could only hear it in the room, but if he was asleep or confused, he would probably not hear it. Of course, he would hear it more clearly at night, but it would definitely be impossible to hear it in the room. Therefore, Zhu Xingwei must be shouting outside the cottage. Since the other four people delivered goods with Lu Mingfeng, and Liu Peng was sleeping in a daze, no one would find out that it was wrong. When Liu Peng got up and opened the door, Zhu Xingwei could go back to the cottage again, so he perfectly created a illusion for himself that he was not at the scene of the crime.
