Chapter 1618: The Sudden Truth (Medium)
Although Pashtina is known as the city that never sleeps, the entertainment venues are not on the main highways.
Therefore, when Zhao Yu was speeding on the highway in Jeka's Land Rover, the streets on both sides still seemed a little deserted.
"This person sells newspapers now," Jerka's eyes widened, looking particularly excited, "He and Eureka are distant relatives, and they are the second uncle of his sister-in-law, don't look at the relationship is a bit distant, but Eureka often goes to him to buy newspapers, and he is very familiar with him......"
"I'm sorry, I can't sort out these relationships, let's pick up the key points!" Because things came suddenly, Zhao Yu didn't know what happened until this time?
"This old man's name is Sheranf, he is almost 70 years old this year, and he has been selling newspapers since before Kosovo became independent!" Jeka excitedly introduced, "This man used to live in a bomb shelter, and it was the one near the Old Palace!"
"When we used to chat, he used to talk to Eureka about the bomb shelter, so Eureka thought of him at the first time!"
"And then, to the point!" Zhao Yu was so anxious that his cheeks puffed up, and he was about to go crazy.
"Unexpectedly, after seeing that wallet, this Sherlanf really remembered something!" said Jerka excitedly, "probably because he bought a newspaper, he has always been particularly interested in news."
He can clearly remember that in the winter of '95, one day after the bombing, there was an incident on the ruins of the Old Palace, and that incident happened to have something to do with this wallet!
He said that at that time, the Northwest coalition forces had bombed Pashtina for several days, killing many people, even hiding in bomb shelters......
"After the bombing, the whole of Pashtina was in ruins, and the streets were full of dead people, and the scene was extremely tragic.
"And then, an inevitable thing happened, because there were dead people everywhere, it was inevitable that some survivors would covet the wealth of the deceased, and thus risk the fire of war, to pick up the relics of the dead and take the valuable things for themselves.
"As a result, people's hearts are even more distracted, and some people even go out of their way to rob property, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
"So, in order to stabilize the people, the Isovian army issued a temporary decree to the people, stating that anyone who took advantage of the war to rob or steal other people's property would be shot in public!!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu had never experienced war, and he had never known that there was such a draconian decree.
"Although the decree is cruel, it is a last resort of the rulers, and if it is not forcibly forbidden by torture, it will have an immeasurable impact on the whole war!
"To be honest, I also went through that period, and I have to say that after the decree was issued, it did have a certain effect. "The people no longer fantasize about getting other people's possessions, and the soldiers are more disciplined and focused on fighting......
However, the laws are strict, but they do not allow everyone to obey them. There are still some people who will be opportunistic and violate the law.
"And the incident that Sheranf talked about is likely to be the original motive for the murder of the wallet!"
"Could it be that the murderer's relatives were shot dead by the soldiers for stealing something!" Zhao Yu had already guessed something, but the doubts in his heart did not decrease.
Sheranf said that it was one morning, and he heard the commotion from the bomb shelter, so he ran out of the bomb shelter to see the excitement.
"It turned out that the patrol soldiers caught a few more criminals who violated the law and picked up other people's belongings without permission, and among the criminals, there was even a little boy!!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was shocked, and suddenly felt ominous.
"According to Sheranf," Jaca continued, "the child was only five or six years old, and he lived in the same bomb shelter as him, and had not only met but spoken before.
"The kid was caught by the patrol because he picked up an expensive wallet from a dead man.
At that time, during the confession, Sheranf saw with his own eyes that the wallet appeared in the little boy's hand!
Because of the special style of that wallet, although more than 20 years have passed, Sherlanf can still remember it. He's pretty sure that the wallet is exactly the same as the one in the Wallet Murder!"
"Then ......" Zhao Yu's voice gradually weakened, "what happened later?"
"People thought that laws and regulations belonged to laws, but it was just a very small child, so why can't it be dealt with like an adult?, right?" said ......" Jaika's voice was also a little distorted, "It was just in time for the superior to patrol, and it was said that the inspection team of the army headquarters accompanied the general to inspect it, so ......"
"Oh my God!" Zhao Yu was stunned, "Just because there was a general inspecting, they shot a little boy who was only 6 years old in the street!?"
"Hmm," Jacques muttered, ...... pause, "this is war! War does not distinguish between men and women, young and old, and there is no ...... of justice in itself."
"And the general who inspected......" Zhao Yu said, "wouldn't it be ......"
"Yes," Jaca nodded, "General Wilkron! ”
"Damn!" Zhao Yu slapped the car, his chest rising and falling violently, "In that case, then the military police captain is the patrol soldier who captured or shot the little boy at that time?"
"I don't know yet...... "Eurica is asking, but Sheranv doesn't know who caught the little boy or who executed him in the end?"
"He said he felt that the execution scene was too cruel, so he didn't watch it!"
"Isn't that right?" Zhao Yu frowned, "Since this is the motive for the killing, what about the painter? In 95, the painter was only 8 years old, what crime did he commit?"
"I don't know, but I think ......," said Jaika, "the painter must have snitched the soldier, and that's why the soldier caught the little boy, right?"
"So, now the murderer of this wallet murder case ......," Zhao Yu pondered, "This is the little boy's relatives? This is clear, he wants to avenge the little boy!"
"Sherlanf said," said Jacques, "he had seen in the bomb shelter that the little boy was living with a young man.
"It should be either the father of the little boy or the elder brother!
However, when the little boy was executed, for some unknown reason, the man did not appear......
"So, that man, most likely, is the one who killed the wallet - the real murderer !!"
"No wonder ......" Zhao Yu said with emotion, "The murderer will have so much resentment, this matter is ......"
Suddenly, Zhao Yu fell into an indescribable entanglement. It has been a long time since he has hesitated or wavered because of the values of the case.
At this moment, the Land Rover had stopped in front of a newsstand, but Eurica, the one who saw Jerka, was asking a gray-haired old man about something in the stop.
There is no doubt that this old man is the newspaper seller Sherlanf.
The anti-theft windows of the newsstand are closed, and the old man is also wearing pajamas, but he did not expect that the old man not only sells newspapers in the newsstand, but even lives in the newsstand.
"I just said a few words to him," Zhao Yu and Jacka got out of the car, and immediately heard the old man's voice, "Of course I don't know his name!"
"Back then, there were planes bombing and shells exploding every day, and we didn't know who would survive to the next day, and where else could we take care of other ......"
