Lin Rui looked at Vitalk strangely, "But what does a cup of coffee imply?"

"I'm also thinking about this issue. Go, come with me to Tula's house. The search for Tula was too rush, we must have missed something." Vitalk whispered.

Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you. But the place is not peaceful, it's best to bring a few more people."

Vitalk nodded, "Just bring your people. Most of my team members have gone out to investigate. And there are our people on the scene."

Lin Rui greeted the brothers to follow. Vitak pushed his wheelchair and got into the car with difficulty. Lin Rui helped him behind him. Vitalk was about to break free, but he turned to look at Lin Rui and nodded to him.

Although Vitalk is disabled, he often refuses to admit that he is disabled and refuses the assistance of others. If someone else tried to help him, he would have been scolded bloody.

But except for Lin Rui. They have experienced too much life and death together, and for Vitalk, Lin Rui and himself have not separated each other.

After getting on the bus, they rushed all the way to the airport and set off on a transport plane to Mali.

In Mali, a large number of Vitalk intelligence team personnel have been gathered. They came to an ordinary house on the edge of a small city in Mopti.

Lin Rui has been here before. The last time he was in Mali, Tula took him here. This is Tula's residence.

The several intelligence team members who were standing there saw Lin Rui and Vitalk coming, and immediately greeted them.

"What did you find?" Vitalk whispered.

"The body has been transported away. We did not alert the police. We are looking for an autopsy. The result may be a while. Nothing else on the scene has been moved. We tried our best to keep it as it is." The intelligence team member replied.

Vitalk looked around the room and stopped his gaze on a sofa in the small living room. Because the sofa is full of blood.

"He died here?" Vitalk whispered.

"Yes. When we found him, it had been dead for several hours, and some of the blood had been dried." The member of the intelligence team nodded and said, "He was sitting on the sofa, with the gun in his right hand hanging on the sofa. on.

We checked the trajectory. It should have been shot by himself. The bullet penetrated from his right side of the head. "

Lin Rui patted him, "Okay, don't talk about it. Since you found the body, has anyone else been here?"

"People from the CIA have also been here, but they left after receiving a call. Obviously they got some instructions and handed it to us. But we only took the corpse. Then we conducted a simple site survey. "The member of the intelligence team replied.

"Have you searched the room?" Vitalk said suddenly.

"I have checked it twice and found nothing. But this is also normal. Tula is a very careful person.

Especially in his own residence, he usually doesn't leave anything useful, so that he can avoid revealing his identity when being tracked down. "The member of the intelligence team replied.

Vitalk turned his head and saw the coffee cup on the table, and whispered, "Is this coffee cup always in this position?"

"There is nothing else on the table, so we haven't touched this coffee cup either." The intelligence team member said carefully.

Lin Rui also turned his head to look at the coffee cup on the table. This cup is a piece of ordinary porcelain. It is no different from the coffee cups used in every family.

But after Lin Rui watched it, she frowned slightly, "It seems, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Vitalk frowned and looked at him.

"The orientation of the coffee cup." Lin Rui thought for a while, "Tula shot himself with his right hand, so he should not be left-handed. From the time I met him until now, I have basically never seen him use his left hand."

"He is indeed not left-handed, so the position of the coffee cup on the coffee table on his right should be normal. Is there any doubt about this?" the intelligence team member asked in a low voice.

"The position of the coffee cup is right, but the grip of the coffee cup is facing the wrong direction." Lin Rui shook his head, "If you sit on the sofa and drink coffee, uh, the coffee table with the coffee cup is in your right hand position.

Then when you have finished your coffee and want to put the coffee cup down. The body must have turned slightly to the right and put the coffee cup on the coffee table. right? "

"It should be so." The member of the intelligence team nodded.

"If this is the case, the orientation of the coffee cup's grip is either towards you or towards the right, not in that direction.

Because coffee is a hot drink, most people who drink coffee will hold the handle of the coffee cup with their hands instead of directly pinching the coffee cup with their hands, because it will be hot.

Over time, a habit will develop. When everyone goes to take a coffee cup, they will use their hands to hold the coffee cup. Instead of holding the cup directly. This is true even when the coffee is not hot. This is called habitual thinking. Lin Rui whispered.

The group member looked at the coffee cup on the table and suddenly said in surprise, "The handle of the coffee cup is not facing the sofa or the right side. It is facing the front!

Could someone touch this coffee cup? Probably not, we have never moved since we came. "

"No one has touched this coffee cup. Tula doesn't drink coffee normally. He just wants to use this cup to give me a clue.

Because I am the one who is used to drinking coffee, and he also knows that I will not turn a blind eye to his death. "Vitak raised his head and said, "So he left us a clue when he was dying. "

"The handle of the coffee cup, but the position where the handle of the coffee cup points is..." The team member hesitated and turned his head to look at which side, "There is a bathroom."

"Have you checked the restroom?" Lin Rui asked.

"It was searched, and more than once, there was nothing there." The intelligence team member shook his head.

Vitalk turned his head and whispered, "Push me over and take a look."

The door of this bathroom is facing the side of the living room. The living conditions here are not very good, Vitalk lives alone again, and the restroom looks quite messy and sloppy.

There were a few cigarette butts floating in the toilet, and a large piece of glass in front of the vanity was broken, exposing the wall behind.

This place is exactly what the intelligence team member just said, there is nothing.

"Strange, doesn't the coffee cup mean anything, it's just an accidental coincidence?" Lin Rui checked the bathroom, but found nothing.
