Chapter 24 Narrowing the Scope, Child Suspects
There are some things in the world that will always form a kind of causal cycle in the dark, in the words of Buddhism, this is called reincarnation, dependent origin and extinction, all are reincarnation.
Ten years ago, in order to find the body of Zhang's sister-in-law son Xiaohu, Hu Hai and Xu Lang went to a landfill on the outskirts of the city to dig a pit, but the body was not found, but they accidentally dug up a mass grave during World War II, and ran into "dirty things" and sent themselves to a ghost village.
Ten years later, in order to protect the secrets of the ghost village, the village manager of the ghost village led the people outside to the mass grave discovered by Hu Hai and the others, and as a result, all the bones in the mass grave were dug up, and there was also the body of Zhang's sister-in-law Xiaohu, who Hu Hai and Xu Lang had never found.
Hearing the news brought by Brother Hu, I suddenly felt that a certain string that had been tense in my heart these days was broken in an instant, and I was very aggrieved. Because, I always think that the thief swallower on the robot cat's small lamp is Xiaohu's, and I look forward to the start of classes every day, so that I can find Dean Qin of the Ghost Academy to confirm this, so as to prove that Xiaohu's child is still alive. And now, the body has been found, and all hopes have been dashed.
However, the dashing hope does not mean that this matter is over, otherwise Hu Hai would not have asked me to come to him with a small table lamp.
I looked up at Brother Hu and asked softly, "Brother Hu, have you found out how Xiaohu died?"
"No, it's been ten years, and I can't find any clues at all. If it weren't for the fact that the bones were not the same as the other bones in the mass grave, the police outside might not have studied Xiaohu's bones carefully. So if you want to find the real culprit who killed Xiaohu, you must also start with this small table lamp in your hand. Xiao Yan. Didn't you say there's some thief on it, whose one it is, you know?"
"I don't know yet. At first, I thought that whoever was missing the corner of the small lamp belonged to the thief devourer. But now that the missing corner was found from Wu Ming's hands, I was a little blindsided. ”
"Haha, there's no need to be blindfolded about this. Wu Ming is just the second handler, and the small table lamp he got from Sister-in-law Zhang must have gotten this missing corner from someone else. Now the only question is when he got his hands on this missing corner. If he had gotten it a long time ago, I don't think he would have had to carry it with him when he was on the run. Unless this missing corner is important to him. But if it's really important. How could he have left this thing in his makeshift quarters?
So, I guess that when Wu Ming got this missing corner, it happened to be when he was just wanted. He simply didn't have time to deal with the missing corner. You can only leave Heavenly Dao University with it. Let's say I'm right. The last person Wu Ming saw before he was wanted should be the person who held the missing corner. Xiao Yan. Do you know who he's seen?"
"Well, that's a lot, there's no way to find out!"
I believe in Brother Hu's conjecture. But the question he finally raised was a bit of a stretch.
Wu Ming was wanted in school, and at that time, the freshman assessment was underway, and he, the main person in charge of the freshman assessment, could contact more people, so he couldn't check them one by one.
But Brother Hu seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and said to me with a serious face: "Xiao Yan, you can remember it well, even if it is to narrow down the scope a little." ”
"Narrow it down, I want to think about it......
If it is really according to what you said, Brother Hu, Wu Ming left Tiandao University with this missing corner, then the people he came into contact with after he left could be excluded. No, no, I don't know who he met.
Then, Wu Ming's time to get the missing corner is relatively short, assuming that it is not more than three days, then this period is the time for us to conduct the freshman assessment. The people he came into contact with were limited to the students of the special college.
Then, all the old students can be excluded, because if they had held the missing corner, it is estimated that they would have been discovered by Wu Ming a long time ago, and they would not wait until now. This narrows down to all new students.
Moreover, not everyone in the freshmen has had face-to-face contact with Wu Ming, as far as I know, he has more contact, only me, Liang Tianyu, Zhang Jinghan, plus the six people he killed, Han Zhen.
Jing Han and I can rule out the three of us, and the remaining Han Zhen and those people do have the possibility of holding the lamp and missing the corner, aren't they all from the same place as Brother Hu.
By the way, isn't Zhang Yan Xiaohu's own sister, Brother Hu, do you think this missing corner will be what Zhang Yan has been holding?"
Trying to narrow it down, I finally threw the question to Hu Hai.
Because it really can't be scaled down here.
Whoever holds the lamp and lacks the corner means who killed Xiaohu, Zhang Yan and Han Zhen are indeed in the same city as Xiaohu, and they may become murderers. But the key is that Xiaohu died ten years ago, when these people were only seven or eight years old, how could they kill someone!
Therefore, in my opinion, this groundless approach to narrowing down the scope of suspects is simply nonsense, and I simply pushed Xiaohu's sister Zhang Yan out, indicating that this conjecture failed.
But unexpectedly, Hu Hai nodded thoughtfully, and said seriously: "Zhang Yan does have this suspicion, she is Xiaohu's sister, she is with Xiaohu every day, and the conditions for committing the crime are met." Xiaohu's father is a patriarchal person, and in daily life, Xiaohu got the father's love that Zhang Yan couldn't get far away, which caused Zhang Yan's jealousy, and this motive for committing the crime is also possible. It's just that some direct evidence is missing. Xiao Yan, you have a good analysis. ”
"Ah? No, Brother Hu, didn't you wake up and talk in your sleep? Zhang Yan was only eight years old at that time, how could she kill her brother!"
"Ahem, this is just my speculation, thinking about it, Zhang Yan's girl is indeed unlikely to kill her brother, and it may be the other five people who are alive. ”
"What maybe, Brother Hu, you can be sober, I don't mean who is who's brother, but age, the age of these people! They were eight years old at the earliest, and it is impossible for an eight-year-old child to kill someone!"
"Who said that an eight-year-old child can't kill someone, deliberate homicide is not too much, but negligent deaths abound. There are many cases of such child crimes at home and abroad. ”
"I ...... Alas......"
I was really speechless for Brother Hu's answer, I just thought that he was talking nonsense.
But who knew that he seemed to be ready to convince me a long time ago, pushed the large pile of documents that were spread out on the table just now in front of me, and said softly: "Xiao Yan, take a look at these materials first, after reading them, maybe you will be able to understand my current thoughts." ”
"Oh?"
I spread out what was in front of me suspiciously and looked down......
