Although Li Rui had a smile on his face, he was groaning in his heart. So far, he hadn't found any flaws on this suspicious man's body. Just now, he had deliberately checked the man's body and clothes, hoping to find the presence of paint on them. If this was really the work of this guy, then when he was splashing the paint, his body would definitely be stained with some paint, more or less.
But the result was depressing. The other party was clean, and there was not a single suspicious spot on him. If there was no such evidence, and they could not find the tools to commit the crime, it would be very difficult to convict the other party. At that time, if they really kowtowed to him and even slapped themselves, they would be laughed at.
However, Li Ruixin also had a plan. If he really couldn't find any flaws, he could only use the trick he used to help Wen Moshi deal with the unscrupulous dog's owner a long time ago. Although it was a little shameless, it was very effective!
Li Rui came to the front of the Green Sun booth and looked at the man mysteriously, but he was also thinking in his heart. He had splashed so much paint, but why wasn't there any on his body? There wasn't even a splash of paint? Was he standing far away, or did he deliberately change his clothes and socks after splashing the paint? It was possible for him to change his clothes, but he couldn't have changed his shoes, right? How could he have brought a spare pair of shoes?
The man's eyes swept across the shocking bright red paint on the Green Sun Exhibition Stand. His face was full of surprise as he said, "Aiya, someone really splashed paint on it? Who did this? "
"Still pretending? It was you! "
Li Rui said with a smile. He walked to ten centimeters away from the front of the front desk, his back facing the front desk, and his left hand pointed to the paint mark left on the ground in front of him. He said, "You're very cunning. When you splashed the paint, you deliberately did it from the outside, making it look like the murderer came from the outside. You don't want us to suspect the inside of the Huangzhou booth. You're a classic case of trying to hide something!"
The man was stunned, then he curled his lips and said, "What kind of evidence is this? Can this prove that I did it? You really know how to frame a good person. "
Li Rui shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious. I haven't shown you the real evidence yet! I'll show it to you now. Don't move! " As he spoke, he walked behind him and suddenly squatted down. Before he could react, he used the nail of his right index finger to lightly touch the back of his shoe. Then, he quickly retracted his index finger and used his middle finger to point there.
The man turned around and looked down, but he didn't see anything. He only saw Li Rui's finger pointing there. He was very puzzled and asked, "What's there?"
Li Rui ignored him and said to the two security guards and Gu Yingtong, "Come over and take a closer look. There's an inconspicuous paint stain on the heel of his leather shoes. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it. When I was observing him in the multi-purpose hall, I noticed it. What does this mean? It means that when he committed the crime, even though he was very careful not to get any paint on himself, he didn't notice that paint would splatter. The splattered paint dots might be very small and hard to see with the naked eye, but if a leather shoe were to walk on it, it would leave a mark. He happened to step on a relatively large paint spot. The bottom of his heel was partially stained, and the top edge of his heel was stained with the other part that was raised due to the pressure. However, the paint at the bottom of his heel had probably been rubbed off by the ground in the process of his frequent walking, leaving only the top edge of his heel stained. What's this called? Hmph, this is called 'Heaven's net has a long grind, but nothing escapes!' "
The two security guards and Gu Yingtong went closer to take a look. Indeed, there was a very small paint stain on the top of the man's left heel. If it weren't for Li Rui's finger, they wouldn't have noticed it.
The man's expression changed drastically when he heard that. He cursed, "Nonsense! I don't believe you. Let me see! " As he spoke, he squatted down to take a closer look. After that, he was both shocked and scared. He opened his mouth to refute, "This … I accidentally stepped on this when I came over with you guys. Don't accuse me wrongly!"
Li Rui sneered, "I was the one who brought you here just now. I purposely avoided the paint stains when I led you here. You didn't step on it at all, so don't deny it. Hurry up and admit it!"
The female subordinate was furious. She pointed at the man's nose and shouted, "You really did it?! You immoral thing, how could you do such a despicable thing? To think that we're from Shannan! "
Gu Yingtong was also furious. She questioned coldly, "Why did you do this? Do you know how much you've gone overboard? You destroyed our Green Sun's booth and the fruits of our labor for more than a day. You even ruined our investment opportunity for the next two days! "
The man was tongue-tied as he tried to explain, "No … I really didn't do it. I can … swear, really … You have to believe me …"
"Believe your head!" Li Rui scolded without holding back. He then said, "What do you have to say now?"
"I …"
Li Rui didn't give him a chance to explain and interrupted him, "Tell me, how do you explain the paint stain on your shoe? You just said that you didn't know that our Green Sun's booth was splashed with paint, but your heel is already stained with paint. This means that you're lying. You were at least at the scene. Why are you lying? Is it because you want to get rid of suspicion and cover up your evil deeds? What else do you have to say? "
The man said in a panic, "I … I might have walked past the scene, but I … I didn't pay attention to your booth, so I didn't know that it was splashed with paint. I really didn't see it."
Li Rui could already see the guilt and fear in his eyes. Naturally, he wouldn't give him a chance to escape. He said to the fat security guard, "He's still so stubborn, but I have more evidence to prove that he's the culprit. Now, let's go back to the surveillance center and retrieve the footage of him from the surveillance cameras. I don't know what container he used to carry the paint into the booth, but he must have a container with him. We'll know after we take a look. "
The fat security guard was dumbfounded. After all, such an exciting scene could only be seen in movies and TV dramas. He came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay. I'll do whatever you say."
Li Rui ordered the other security guard. "Please keep an eye on him. Don't let him run away, and don't let him destroy the evidence."
The security guard agreed and locked his gaze on the man.
The man looked at Li Rui with an ashen face. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back.
Li Rui and the fat security guard hurried back to the surveillance center and retrieved the surveillance footage. After a while, they found the key evidence. The staff at the Huangzhou booth had split into three groups to go out for lunch. The man was the first to go out, but he was the last to come back. When he came back, he was holding a stainless steel thermos in his left hand.
Li Rui's sharp eyes caught the thermos. He said to the fat security guard, "Let's go. We have evidence. Let's see how he's going to deny it!" He said as he walked out.
The fat security guard had already entered the role of a detective's assistant. He asked curiously, "What evidence?"
Li Rui smiled. "This exhibition hall has a very high level of security. The security measures are very tight. Outsiders, whether they are businessmen or reporters, have to go through the security check if they want to enter the hall. If they have a glass or water bottle, they have to open it and take a sip to show that it's safe. However, the security guards at the security check wouldn't check so carefully for the organizers of the event in the hall, who are only temporary staff members with identification around their necks. So I suspect that the guy used a thermos to transport the paint into the hall. When he went out, his hands were empty. When he came back, he had an extra thermos. Isn't the problem obvious? "
The fat security guard's eyes widened. He exclaimed in surprise, "You can do that? Then … then wouldn't the thermos be destroyed? Can you still drink water after putting in the paint? "
Li Rui sneered. "This kind of person wants to take revenge. What's the big deal about wasting a thermos worth dozens of yuan?"
The two trotted back to the hall. Li Rui asked the man, "Where is the stainless steel thermos that you were holding when you came back from lunch? Do you dare to show it to me?"
The man pretended to be stupid and said, "What stainless steel thermos? I've never had a thermos. "
Li Rui sneered. "Are you smart or stupid? I just said that we went to the surveillance center to look at the surveillance video. Because we saw the video, we knew that you had a stainless steel thermos. Now you're denying it. Are you denying the video or yourself? "
The fat security guard couldn't stand it anymore. He said angrily, "You're still lying? You'd better admit it. The more you lie, the more loopholes there will be! "
Li Rui added, "If I were you, I'd admit it quickly and say who's behind this. Then, I'd ask for leniency. Because we've already reported this matter to the event management team. If they investigate and catch you, you may be fired from the civil service. But if you admit it now, you can still be saved. "
After the man heard this, he didn't dare to deny it anymore. However, he didn't admit it either. He lowered his head and struggled with his thoughts.
Just then, Gu Yingtong's phone rang. She picked it up and made a series of noises. When she hung up, she said to Li Rui, "The leader of the event management team is here. He's going to help us deal with the scene."
Li Rui laughed. "Okay. The bigger the matter, the better. Anyway, all the consequences will be paid by the murderer and the mastermind. We'll just watch the show."
