When he heard Ran Ximin's three words, Ran Chuang bluntly said that this is an impossible thing, Ran Ximin is Ran Zhong's son, he has no mother and relatives since he was a child, Ran Zhong raised him as a father and a mother, even if he is a bastard, he will not murder his own father.

I looked at Ran Chuang and said softly: "However, he also killed a person who had nothing to do with him for money, why can't he do anything to kill his own father." ”

Li Yan nodded behind me, saying that after Ran Ximin killed someone, he directly bought a train ticket to Shanshi, so the possibility that he had ever come back was not ruled out.

Regarding our speculation, Ran Chuang was silent again and again, and called it impossible, he didn't believe that there would be such a beastly person in the world.

Li Yan and I glanced at him, shook our heads and said: "Human nature is a very wonderful thing, he will become a devil for his own selfish desires, but a small number of people will also control their emotions, but once negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent, this kind of person who will control his emotions is even more terrible than the devil." ”

Immediately afterwards, I asked Li Yan and Ran Chuang to take confessions from the surrounding residents, if it is calculated from the time, Ran Ximin bought a ticket at three o'clock in the morning, that is to say, if he goes home as soon as he arrives in the mountain city, that time point should be around 9:45 to 10 o'clock, I asked Li Yan to ask who of these residents around has seen Ran Ximin during this time.

And I, on the other hand, walked into Ran Ximin's room alone.

This is a room, but it is actually a room separated by a blue curtain, and it is so small that it can only accommodate a bed and a person walking upright.

I opened the curtain and saw Ran Ximin's wire bed at a glance, the bed was very neat and tidy, and it was folded and stable, which was the credit of the army's internal affairs.

There is no dust on the bed, according to the time, it is now twelve o'clock at noon, and Ran Ximin will rush back here at about ten o'clock at the earliest, if his old father was killed by him, then he will definitely not be able to sleep leisurely after rushing back, and then fold the bed again.

According to the information, Ran Ximing should have not been home for more than half a year, but the bed is still very flat, I think, it should be that Ran Zhong cleaned Ran Ximin's room at the same time as he cleaned at home on weekdays.

In fact, to be honest, although this room is small, it is very tidy, there is a bookshelf on the bed, and there is no dust on the bookshelf at all, in this kind of rural place, dust is the main inhalation of the villagers every day, it can be seen that Ran Ximin's old father should clean Ran Ximin's room every day.

Thinking of this, I clenched my fists tightly, if Ran Zhong was really killed by Ran Ximin, then the beast is not as synonymous as this, and it will accompany him for life.

When I searched Ran Ximin's room, I found a tape-bonded package on the inside of his bed, which was not large, but heavy, and when I took it off the bed, I actually knew roughly what was inside.

This is a tool kit, a field kit, there is a dagger, a climbing shovel, and a small steel rod, at first when I took out this steel rod, this steel rod was only the size of a finger, and then, I pulled out the steel rod on both sides, and soon, this steel rod suddenly became as long as a walking stick, I thought, this should be a mountaineering crutch.

I sat on Ran Ximin's bed, looked at the three tools, and then took the dagger out of it, the dagger looked brand new, but according to the length of this dagger, the length of this dagger should be the same length as the wound in the lower abdomen of the boss lady when she died.

Thinking of this, I immediately took off my backpack and took out the blood test lamp I had brought from the forensic medicine hospital before, and when this ultraviolet light photographed the dagger, a burst of red and black blood stains instantly imprinted in front of my eyes.

Not surprisingly, this dagger was once stained with blood.

In fact, to tell the truth, when I saw the blood stains on this dagger, I exhaled a breath of cold air, and before I came, I was still worried, whether there would be a problem with my reasoning, what if the murderer really didn't flee in the car, what if the murderer was not Ran Ximin.

But when I saw this dagger, my heart also fell, this dagger not only proves that Ran Ximin is the murderer of the boss's wife, but also proves that he has indeed returned home, so the death of his old father is inevitably directly related.

So, the only thing left was to find Ran Ximin, and I stood outside this room and looked up at the surrounding mountains, which were towering and completely surrounded such a small village.

I took out the phone and called Fang Yuan, confirming that Ran Ximin was the murderer of the proprietress, and then told him about Ran Zhong, he was not surprised, but felt that this man had developed to this point, and he would do everything, not to mention killing his father, even if he killed other villagers in exchange for his own safety and freedom, he would do it without hesitation.

As soon as I "boarded the ......", my heart seemed to stop suddenly because of Fang Yuan's words.

"Say what you say, say it again. I took the phone, stood outside Ran Zhong's house, turned on the speakerphone and continued.

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I said that a person like this who destroys human nature, because of certain things, it is a normal thing to kill his father. ”

I shook my head, frowned, and said no.

In desperation, Fang Yuan sighed, raised his voice again, and repeated what he had just said: "A person like Ran Ximin will kill any innocent person for money, which means that he has been forced to be in a hurry, so I don't think he killed his father, and even, he can kill anyone for his own survival." ”

That's right, that's the sentence, for your own survival, kill anyone.

This sentence reminds me of the deceased named Ran Feng just now, if I remember correctly, Ran Chuang once mentioned Ran Ximin's personality to me when he came.

said that he was mean and quarreled with the villagers, and the next day there were two more bamboo leaves in the family's house.

And this point is on Zhu Yeqing's body.

In this big mountain, the venom of poisonous snakes is not unusual, and the weather has recently begun to get hot again, it is the season of venomous snake recovery, and it is not uncommon for poisonous snakes to appear in the villages in the mountains.

Generally speaking, the residents who live in such a place will sprinkle a circle of realgar powder outside the door every week to ward off the intrusion of snakes, so it is a very small chance that a poisonous snake will appear in the house, unless the family forgets to change the realgar powder, and it just so happens that the two poisonous snakes crawl in along the pole.

Therefore, the two snakes at that time must have been artificially put in, so in other words, today, the bamboo leaves in Ranfeng's house should also be artificially put in.

I look at the family diagonally opposite Ran Ximin's house, the front door is full of white silk, maybe I haven't seen anyone come out for a long time, it should be a mourning at home, I don't see anyone going out, I estimate that this family should be Ran Feng's house.

Ran Feng and Ran Ximin live diagonally opposite the door, so I'm wondering if Ran Feng had ever seen Ran Ximin before he died, and the latter was afraid that he would spread the news that he had returned, so he placed Zhu Yeqing in Ran Feng's house?

Thinking of this, I walked to the door of Ran Feng's house, looked down, and sure enough, a circle of yellow powder was sprinkled outside the house, if my budget is good, these powders should be realgar powder,

So, how did the bamboo leaf green that bit the wind get in?

I walked around the outside of Ranfeng's house, and found that it was surrounded by a cement wall, and at the north wall, I found a footprint.

These footprints look like those of a man, and the footprints are hanging in the center of this wall, which is believed to have been left by someone who used inertia to climb the wall.

This also confirms my guess, that bamboo leaf green did not break into Ran Feng's house on his own, but was brought in by someone with a heart, this person with a heart is very likely to be Ran Ximin, who just escaped from the city and returned to his hometown.

Immediately afterward, Li Yan returned to Ran Ximin's residence, and without finding me in front of the residence, he shouted my name loudly to the surroundings.

At this time, I was stepping on the footprints on this wall, so I also called Li Yan to my location.

Li Yan is not stupid in some things, he is just not smart, yes, this time, he is not very smart.

As soon as he saw me standing in front of the footprints, he immediately looked the footprints up and down, and asked me what I was doing with the footprints.

I glanced at him, and said lukewarmly that this should be Ran Ximin's footprints, if my guess is correct, the people inside the walls are the people who have just been mourned, that is to say, Ran Feng's death is likely to be related to Ran Ximin.

When he heard this, Li Yan was silent, he stood in front of me, suddenly frowned, patted me on the shoulder with one hand, and asked in a low voice: "Fang Yi, who are you, your investigation ability will not be worse than those old police officers at all, with your ability, you can go to a second-tier city to develop, why do you want to come to a third-tier small city like us?"

I paused, and then said lightly: "Is there a difference between the first, second, and third lines? Aren't they all the same case, and I don't think I'm very capable, everyone is here to return the truth to the dead, why raise yourself so high, we, ah, are a brick of the people, where we are needed, we will move where, do you think I don't want this world to have no crimes, sit back and sleep at home?"

Li Yan pursed his lips and didn't say anything again, but when I stepped on the footprints, I always felt cold behind my back, yes, the way he looked at me changed, this kind of look was like looking at a criminal.

"I said, can you not look at me with such eyes?" I looked at Li Yan and said with some unhappiness.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yan looked me up and down, and asked me in a strange tone of yin and yang: "Fang Yi, you said that you met a demon, but none of us have seen it, you said, the previous case was the information given to you by the demon, and we have not seen it, is this demon yourself or not?"

I put my arms around Li Yan's shoulders and whispered: "Li Yan, can you stop telling jokes at such a time? When I was handling the case, I was with you twenty-four hours a day, how could I be a demon, and if I knew about these evil deeds of criminals early on, why did I investigate the case myself and arrest the criminals myself?" I'll tell you the truth, some time ago I said that a thief broke into the criminal investigation brigade, in fact, that person is a demon, as for what he came to the criminal investigation brigade for, I'll tell you when I go back, but, at that time, the people in the two groups were present, and they can completely prove that I and the demon are two different people, Li Yan, let me say it again, can you use your brain for business?"

I'm really a little speechless, how do you think that the wind is the rain?

"You...... Really not a demon?" After saying this, Li Yan still looked at me with a suspicious gaze.

I gave him a blank look, and then said helplessly: "If I am a demon, I will kill you first." ”

With that, I turned around and took the adhesive paper off the wall where I had stepped on the footprints.

"How is it, do you have any clues?" I asked in a low voice as I walked back to the door of Ran Ximin's house with Li Yan, squinting at Li Yan.
