Chapter 55: The Divine Logic of Public Trial (4)
"Don't be afraid, although I know that you have copied this fake, but as for its use, you must never have imagined it, otherwise you would never have buried your adoptive father's life with your own hands. "Chen Tianyu is very gentle and authentic.
Li Futang trembled and couldn't speak.
Chen Tianyu reminded again: "There is a person who threatens you and asks you to imitate fakes in exchange for the survival of the store, I think you, a person who runs a gray business, should not have the courage to refuse, right?"
"You...... How do you know?" Li Futang's sudden appearance was tantamount to admitting this fact.
"Hehe, I guessed. Chen Tianyu said lightly, "In fact, the most difficult thing to imitate in bronze is not the inscription, but the patina covered all over, this patina will undergo many qualitative changes after a long time, and in the end, these patinas seem to grow on the bronze, no longer floating on the surface, it is impossible to simply erase and difficult to fake...... The inscription, on the other hand, can simply be forged and old. ”
"Don't ask me how I know this, because we have an expert who has been studying artifacts for many years. He was of course referring to Liu Zichen, a lover of cultural relics.
"But in a few minutes, you pointed out the problem with the inscription, either you were really knowledgeable, or you didn't expect the real fish intestine sword inscription to be so clear when you imitated it. And just now, I've proven that your knowledge is only at an amateur level......" He just played a little magic trick, and of course he knew which hand the real thing was.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?!" Li Futang shivered as if he were sifting chaff.
"Whether I'm a human or a ghost, I just want you to tell me for yourself who the real murderer is. Chen Tianyu said coldly.
Li Futang reflexively looked in a certain direction, and there was a face that was still silent.
Chen Tianyu smiled sarcastically, threw the fake in his left hand into Li Futang's arms, leaned over to pick up the real fish intestine sword, and sighed softly.
"The world is full of profits, and they only see your price in their eyes, but they never care that you are a terrifying killing weapon!
"Li Futang, in order to earn a lot of money, you didn't dare to return to your hometown for more than ten years, and there are probably countless cultural relics in Li Village that have been sold by your hands, and now you have indirectly killed your adoptive father, are you really still obsessed?" Chen Tianyu scolded angrily.
Li Futang suddenly covered his ears and became manic: "It's none of my business, it's none of my business, it's all because they're poor and crazy, and they don't want to force me to resell cultural relics, I don't want to, I've earned enough, I don't lack money at all! I'm not short of money! It's not that I killed my father, it's not that I killed my father......" He pointed at the crowd viciously, eager to poke his finger in everyone's face.
He took a few steps back, turned and ran away shouting, regardless of whether the ground was a road or a ridge, and fell a few heels and was covered in mud and water, but he didn't care, he wanted to escape from this land of right and wrong.
Everyone looked at each other and said that all evil is not evil, and it is time for them to reflect deeply.
Chen Tianyu didn't have time to ask about the original sin of secretly reselling his own cultural relics, and he laughed angrily: "Qiuxi, I really don't know whether to call you a murderer or a fighter to eliminate demons!"
"I admire you. Chen Tianyu said gloomily, "To be honest, I really want to end it now and stop snooping on the truth, but unfortunately the law is not merciful......"
Qiu Xi said calmly: "The law is not merciful, but also the evidence, you are purely slandering now." ”
"Slander?" Chen Tianyu sneered, "Okay, I'll slowly present you with evidence." ”
"Luo Ming, have you seen Officer Qiu's ID?" he suddenly asked a strange question.
Luo Ming didn't react at once: "This ...... I met Officer Qiu at the police station, how dare I look at his ID?"
Chen Tianyu asked: "If you reminisce about it, did you see this Officer Qiu in the police station or somewhere else?"
After so many days, Luo Ming really can't remember clearly: "It seems to be ...... It seems to be at the entrance of the police station...... I remembered that he wasn't wearing a police uniform at the time......"
"That's right, I also suddenly remembered such a question, I just called the procuratorial headquarters to verify that the police don't have a police officer named Qiuxi at all. Fortunately, the current personnel system has been networked, and I now have to suspect that the incident of the criminal police team entering the mountain is also purely fabricated, no wonder they can't arrive at the scene for a long time......"
"Qiuxi, you are very smart, you used an official fake identity, easily won everyone's trust, and let you enter Li Cunshi to be moral and justifiable, but don't you think that you are the only outsider in the audience now?"
Qiuxi didn't admit it but didn't deny it either, he laughed: "Aren't you guys also outsiders?"
"Oh, yes, I said it wrong, you are an authentic Li Village, and you are related to the fourth uncle Li Qiuyuan, it was my slip of the tongue. Chen Tianyu said.
Qiuxi was still calm: "I don't admit it." Because I have documents, but I can't show them to anyone casually, we can go to the police station to verify, and it is normal for the police system to not enter new police officers. ”
"You're holding your breath. Li Futang is insane, even if he identifies the person behind the coercion and temptation, you can deny it; if you have a good sense of anti-investigation, you will naturally not leave any fingerprints on this fake. But don't forget, a DNA paternity test is ready to be done, just to get your father's bones back to light. ”
"Please, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. Qiu Xi still looked indifferent, "Don't forget, it's Li Fuqi who stole the sword that is caught on the spot, not me." ”
Chen Tianyu suddenly realized: "It turns out that you have already transferred the bones of your parents, no wonder you are so fearless...... I underestimated you. ”
"Fourth brother, your mouth grows on yourself, let you say whatever you want, I can't help it. ”
Chen Tianyu nodded, as if talking to himself: "Encountering an opponent like you really gives me a headache. ”
Qiu Xi smiled: "I wasn't a murderer in the first place, of course you will have a headache." ”
"Well, you are very precise in every step, and you really don't look like a murderer. But there's no such thing as perfect murder, do you believe it?"
Qiu Xi said lightly: "Sometimes I believe it, sometimes I don't believe it. ”
Chen Tianyu bowed his head in agreement: "You have created a lot of alibi proofs, and your methods are very clever. For example, on the night of Li Qiwen's death, the little monk Luo Ming said that you and he were still on the return train......" Luo Ming, who was blindfolded, nodded when he heard the words and expressed confirmation.
"But I did the math today, and I found some discrepancies. The city is about 90 kilometers away from Luoshui Village, because the mountain roads are rugged and foggy at night, the average speed of a car is 30-40 miles, which means that it takes more than two hours at the earliest. According to Luo Ming, the time when you arrived in the city was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening, which means that even if you rushed to Luoshui Village to kill people, it would not be after two o'clock in the morning. However, Yiting's estimated time of death was around midnight, and the error would not exceed an hour, he was a professional criminal policeman, and he would definitely not be mistaken. ”
Qiuxi nodded, looking confident.
Chen Tianyu continued to analyze: "But I later specifically checked the express train from the provincial capital to the city, and it happened that our city is small and full of barren mountains and mountains, and there is only one express train at night, that is, from 18:40 to 22:35 in the evening, excluding factors such as train delays, getting up and down the station, you will definitely be able to arrive in the city before 23 o'clock at the latest." But why did Luo Ming say that it was more than 12 o'clock in the evening? I asked the kiosk, and only then did I learn that the train station in the city was relatively remote, and if the bus was reversed, it would not take more than an hour, and it would not be possible to do it at all. ”
"That's right. Qiuxi agreed, "What does that mean?"
Chen Tianyu was not in a hurry: "I checked the mobile phone map again, although the map did not indicate the exact location of the mountain road, but I could find a strange phenomenon. With the train station as the center, the city and the village are exactly two opposite directions......"
In other words, if you don't go to the city after getting off the bus, but go straight to Luoshui Village, the distance can be shortened by nearly 20 kilometers. ”
Qiuxi shook his head: "That's not right, even if I don't stop, it will be after one o'clock in the morning when I arrive at Luoshui Village, this is your own calculation." The road to Luoshui Village is crooked and sloppy, do I have that ability? I'm not afraid of overturning?"
"I didn't think about it either, so I ruled you out at the time. But then I realized that the most common means of transportation in the mountains was not a car but a motorcycle, and it dawned on me that I should have a preconceived idea. Yongkun, tell me, how much time did it take you to come back from more than a dozen kilometers away just now?"
Wan Yongkun thought for a while and said, "Ten minutes......
"That's right, that is to say, motorcycles driving in the mountains, as long as the displacement is sufficient, you can drive to 70-80 miles, even if you don't dare, 60-70 miles can definitely be done, and the railway station is 70 kilometers away from Luoshui Village, if you want to kill people, you can reach Luoshui Village in about an hour, it is exactly midnight. ”
Chen Tianyu stopped talking and looked at Qiuxi.
"Wonderful!" Qiu Xi couldn't help but stroke his palms to express his admiration, "Fourth brother, I'm curious that you haven't really worked as a criminal policeman, but you can do it so meticulously, which makes me ashamed." However, you have a big loophole here, does it really take so much effort to kill an old man? You have also investigated, the murderer did not commit the crime alone, and there are many helpers, so why should he do more than half the effort?"
Chen Tianyu smiled slightly: "I guess, there are two other reasons." The first is that you learned through your eyeliner that Yiting was a criminal police officer who returned to his hometown, and he had scruples, and the other is probably the internal cause, if you want to easily kill the third uncle Li Qiwen and blame it on God, you can only do it yourself as a person who is professional in methods and is the third uncle's own nephew. ”
"Makes sense. Qiuxi couldn't help but sigh, "But this is still just your speculation, not necessarily the truth." ”
Chen Tianyu nodded: "That's right, but after figuring this out, I can finally continue to act." At that time, I was also very puzzled, could it be that the murderer actually came to the Guanyin Temple on foot, and then killed people leisurely and left slowly? Li Fuqi lived in a nearby village, and if there was such a wanderer, walking through his window, or going back and forth, would he not be suspicious? Unless Li Fuqi was the murderer, I was misled in this way. ”
"Later I realized that people are strange in the middle of the night, but motorcycles are common, and this is the answer. You are very smart and know that before the Spring Festival, it is difficult to dry the dirt road, and it is not easy to leave ruts, let alone motorcycle ruts, and almost no one will pay attention. When we investigated the scene, we also paid too much attention to the traces of large vehicles, and we could not investigate the chaotic and not obvious traces of motorcycles. ”
Li Fuqi gave rare evidence: "There was indeed a motorcycle passing by at midnight that day, but I was used to it and didn't pay special attention to it. You didn't ask about it later, so ......"
Chen Tianyu sighed: "We also had a lot of concerns at that time, and we couldn't determine the real cause of death of the third uncle Li Qiwen, so we could only put the investigation aside." So many people are talking about the damnation, and we in Beiting don't know where to start, and we almost believe it......"
Li Yiting said ashamedly: "I still think I am an atheist, but in fact, I am still quite superstitious subconsciously. ”
"Everyone has a hometown complex, how can you blame it. Chen Tianyu comforted.
He thought for a while, and then said: "After coming to Luoshui Village from Qiuxi under the pretext of assisting in the investigation of the case, he has actually revealed a lot of flaws, and the biggest flaw must be that he knows nothing about his profession. You are a senior, always thinking about promoting the junior, but you don't want to give him an opportunity to take advantage of, this completely amateur fake police detective can easily confuse our eyes, and spare no effort to create various investigation opportunities for him. Thinking about it now, this is tantamount to aiding the abuse, and buying more opportunities for Qiuxi to commit crimes. ”
"Do you still remember the day your fifth uncle Li Qiumao was killed? Qiuxi deliberately passed by your house, and then got drunk with a few of us......
Li Yiqi said: "It seems that I asked him to come down, not that he specifically wanted to drink." ”
This is where Qiuxi is clever, good at using all kinds of natural resources to achieve ulterior purposes. Chen Tianyu asked again, "Yiting, do you remember what time it was?"
Li Yiting thought for a while: "My family had dinner late, and it was already past twelve o'clock at noon......
Li Qihuai said on the side: "Twelve fifty o'clock, it's a little faster." I looked at my watch at the time, and I thought that you wouldn't be able to come back from the market, so I deliberately postponed lunch. ”
"It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Qiu Xi didn't go home for dinner at one o'clock, isn't it worth doubting?"
Qiuxi explained: "As a person, sometimes I often forget to eat when I work, which is normal. ”
Chen Tianyu glanced at him: "In my impression, you often call yourself a Buddha, right? And you choose to work Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't it a bit abnormal?"
Qiuxi didn't speak.
Chen Tianyu asked Li Yiting again: "When was the death time of Fifth Uncle Li Qiumao?"
"It was about 9 to 10 o'clock in the morning, but it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year when the body was found, and the autopsy was even later, coupled with the rain soaking, the error may be relatively large. Li Yiting told the truth.
Chen Tianyu asked the bottom of the question: "How big is the error?"
"Two or three hours, but one thing is certain, the time of death must have been before noon, because the corpse was completely dissolved, the corpse spots were roughly fixed, and a small number of eggs were found on the corpse. No matter how precise it is, you can only dissect ......"
Chen Tianyu shook his head: "It's accurate enough." Facts have proved that in one morning, Qiu Xi not only had sufficient time to commit the crime, but also did not have any alibi. Running to your house to drink for no reason is just a trick. ”
"I went to Xun Yuanchun's house to investigate, and waited outside his door for a whole morning. Qiuxi defended, "If you don't believe him, you can ask him." ”
Xun Yuanchun hung his head and said dejectedly: "He did come, and I didn't want to deal with him when I knocked on the door several times." ”
Li Yiting asked: "Perjury is a serious crime, you think about it carefully." ”
Xun Yuanchun cried with a sad face: "He really came, I didn't lie to you......"
Chen Tianyu waved his hand: "Then when did he leave?"
"Uh...... I didn't pay attention, you say...... He won't ask me to do anything, I'll take care of him...... What are you doing?"
Qiu Xi was anxious: "You say this is equivalent to framing me, I will sit at the door of your house, will you not know?"
Xun Yuanchun coughed violently: "Yes, I know you left at noon, because I was hungry at that time, and I planned to get firewood for cooking, and I didn't go out until you left me." ”
Qiu Xi sneered: "Isn't that over, how can I be a murderer?"
Chen Tianyu asked calmly: "From Qiuxi to your house and leaving at noon, what did he do during that period?
Xun Yuanchun's cold sweat came down: "Government, I really don't know, it's useless for you to ask me, my cat is used to it in the house, I don't bother to move, and I am not allowed to gamble on the first day of the new year, I ...... I...... Aren't you just having fun with yourself......"
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and they couldn't help but look at the obscene appearance of the old bachelor Xun Yuanchun.
Chen Tianyu coughed a few times before saying to Qiu Xi: "In this way, Xun Yuanchun cannot be used as a valid witness for your alibi. ”
"Although he can't prove that I wasn't there, he can't prove that I'm there either, can he?" said Qiuxi disapprovingly.
"You're pretty quick to react this time. Chen Tianyu smiled and said nothing.
"Something that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I don't accept the charge of murder on my head so easily. Qiuxi was obviously a little angry as well.
