Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes
When Fang Yuan said these four words, the first thing that came to my mind was the four words that were written on the toilet mirror by the murderer with blood at the scene of Zhang Zhuo's death.
Immediately afterward, Fang Yuan handed me a photo tucked away in his notepad, and I glanced at it, and the four words had been cut out of a discarded newspaper and pasted on that piece of paper.
"Fishing line, the font engraved on the mirror, don't you think there are many similarities between these two cases? If it is really as you said, there is another person behind the yellow light, then what is the purpose of this person? Zhang Zhuo is just a company director, and he has a blood debt to pay for it? What blood debt does she have? And the deceased Zhang Tianxiao this time, he is only 19 years old, and he is still a high school student, what blood debt does he have?"
Fang Yuan's question is also the confusion in my heart.
If it is determined that Huang Guang is not the murderer who killed Zhang Zhuo, and the murderer is someone else, then there must be something unknown behind Zhang Zhuo, but what is this matter?
I pursed my lips and shook my head and said that these are just our speculations, two cases, the modus operandi is different, the deceased did not know each other, it is too far-fetched to classify it as one case, but, our profession, isn't it just to find the truth?
Fang Yuan suddenly looked me up and down playfully, and asked if my injuries were much better.
I nodded with a confused expression, only to see him smile a few times gloomily in front of me, and in the next ten minutes, he threw the clothes that had been stuffed in his bag to me, and after I changed my clothes, I followed Fang Yuan directly into the police car parked at the door.
It seems that Fang Yuan has been preparing for me to re-intervene in this case early on, but the strange thing is that this kid is not afraid of being investigated by his superiors?
Later, I learned that at the same time as the murder occurred, he was patting the table with the director to assure me that I had nothing to do with Huang Guang, and asked the director to temporarily restore my police status.
In fact, I never thought in my life that I would almost be imprisoned because of a leather ball, but fortunately, Fang Yuan is a guy who protects calves, otherwise I'm afraid I'm still lying in the hospital now.
I asked Fang Yuan where we are going now, and the latter glanced at me and said that Zhang Tianxiao's father was engaged in geological exploration in Africa, so he was not in China all the year round, and her mother, because she worked in a bank, was very busy at work, so he grew up with his grandparents, and his grandfather died not long ago, and there was only one grandmother in the family.
"Leave it to me? What are you doing? Why do you want to leave it to me? Don't you know? Let your mother tell me. I sat in the passenger seat, blinked twice, frowned.
"Can I ask my mother to tell me to look for you? His mother is still in a coma because of excessive grief, by the way, don't let the old man go overboard, this old man's heart is a little bad. Fang Yuan said this, slowly parked the car outside an alley in the southern district, and nodded inside, saying that the last one on the left hand side in the depths of this alley is.
When I heard this, I always felt that my wound was a little dull pain, I kind of understood why this thing was here to protect me from the director, so as not to let the old man go too far, in particular, my grandson who had been with me all day and night died suddenly, even if I was tactful, could I change this fact? How could she not be too excited?
"Oh yes, I'll go to City No. 1 Middle School later, if you get along with me first, you can come to me. After getting out of the car, Fang Yuan opened the window and gave me a bright smile, and then started to be courteous, and he didn't stop for a moment, and drove the car away directly.
I stood in this alley and sighed, and walked forward helplessly.
We are a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and some quaint places in the south of the city are still preserved, and the government has no intention of rebuilding this place, so it still retains its original appearance.
Most of the people who live here are people from the old city and have never left here in their lives, and seven of the ten families here have lived together as a family until now, so the environment is a bit noisy.
I walked slowly, and it took me about five minutes to reach the last house in this alley, for I did not know how I was going to tell an old man that her grandson, whom she had taken care of every day, had died in the early hours of this morning, and that she was still very ashamed to look at it.
I lingered in front of the old door for more than half an hour, and finally knocked on the wooden door, which was probably older than me.
The door was opened by a gray-haired old man, she leaned on her back, and after opening the door, she asked me who I was looking for, in fact, to be honest, I was really startled when she opened the door, because the old man's left eye was black, and it looked very weird.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Tianxiao's classmate, I think you should be Zhang Tianxiao's grandmother, right?" I subconsciously lowered my body and said to the old grandmother with a smile.
But what is surprising is that when I said that I was Zhang Tianxiao's classmate, she did not pull me in very enthusiastically, but nodded, and just let me stand at the door and ask me what was the matter.
I was slightly stunned, then pursed my lips and said softly: "Grandma, Tianxiao had an accident in the hospital, I'm afraid it ......"
I didn't tell the old man directly because the old man would not be able to stand it when he suddenly heard the news, but in my opinion, when I said that Zhang Tianxiao had an accident, the old man's face did not have any anxious state, and just asked me what happened to Tianxiao in the hospital.
She didn't act in a hurry, so I told her directly that Zhang Tian died of laughter.
When I finished saying these five words, the old man was slightly stunned, and then fainted.
Seeing that, I helped her, and at this time, someone happened to ride by, it was a man in his forties, he saw Mrs. Zhang fainted in front of me, and immediately let me carry her to the house, and cleanly checked the old man's heartbeat, pulse, and pupil size.
The houses here are almost all made of wood, the roof is covered with celadon tiles on both sides, and the house is not decorated, and I smelled a smell of mold when I walked in, probably because the house is made of wood, and the wood has long been moldy after the erosion of rain over the years.
I stood at the door of the room on the second floor, watching the man in the room unhurriedly giving the old man a heart massage.
"You're a doctor?" I asked slowly, leaning against the door panel with my arms folded and looking at the man in the room.
The man didn't look up, and said softly: "I work in a nearby community hospital, and the old lady's heart condition is not very ideal, many cardiovascular systems have been blocked, and her heart can no longer withstand any stimulation." ”
Speaking of this, the man turned around and looked me up and down suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you? What did you say to Mrs. Zhang? Do you know that Mrs. Zhang's body is only a few months old?"
"I am Zhang Tianxiao's classmate, Zhang Tianxiao was killed in the early hours of this morning, I was also kind enough to inform the old lady, I didn't expect it to be like this. "I never took my eyes off this man, I don't know why, there was a scent in him, a ...... I seem to have smelled it somewhere.
I didn't mean to, I knew that the old lady had a heart attack, but when I knocked on the side before, I didn't realize how much the old lady cared about her grandson, who knew that she would roll her eyes and faint directly after hearing the news of her grandson's death?
Zhang Tianxiao's father works abroad, and so far our police have not contacted him, and his mother is still lying in the hospital, and Lin Xi needs relatives to sign the autopsy consent form, so we can only come to this old lady, hoping that she can sign this consent form, but where there is a little room for discussion, who wants to do such a thankless job?
"What? Tianxiao died, or was he killed? You're not kidding me, are you?" The man was shocked when he heard that Zhang Tianxiao had died, and then turned to look at me with a surprised face.
