Chapter 55: The Tragedy of the Year

This report comes from a local tabloid in City A, the newspaper itself is not well-known, and the report of that social news is not large, and the content is not specific, but it is very brief to say that there was a car accident on what section of the road, the guardrail of a bridge was damaged, and other circumstances need to be further confirmed. However www.biquge.info He Ning carefully flipped through the contents of this newspaper for many days to come, and they did not follow up on this news, I don't know if they thought it was not newsworthy or something else.

He Ning hurriedly showed the content of this report to Tonic Li, and Tonic had basically summarized several more likely routes in and out of the city, and the two of them checked it and found that the location of the car accident mentioned in the report happened to be on one of the several routes that Tonic had speculated, so the two of them decided to go there first to take a look, and if there was nothing particularly noteworthy, they would consider elsewhere at that time.

The location mentioned in the news report is located more than 30 kilometers away from Zhuang Wenbin's residence, not far from the highway in and out of the city, because with the convenient and fast closed highway, there are hardly many cars passing on that road, and even if there is, it is a small road to visit relatives and friends in nearby villages and towns, or to go to farmhouses for leisure and entertainment. However, this closed highway in and out of the city was built and put into use in the last five years, that is to say, more than ten years ago, there was no closed high-speed here, and the toll station in and out of the city was not here, but located in another place, Tonic inquired about the relevant situation, at that time there was only one secondary road here, which could lead to the original high-speed toll station into the city, and the small bridge mentioned in the report was not too far from the original secondary road on a fork in the road, which was also a shortcut in that year.

The accident mentioned in the news report is the bridge above the fork in the road, and the river under the bridge crosses City A, which is the one where Zhuang Wenbin drowned, but the location here is more upstream. Thinking of this, He Ning also felt in his heart that the car accident mentioned in this news should have something to do with the cases of Zhuang Wenbin and Diao Nianhua.

After arriving there, they first parked the car on the side of the road, to the small bridge that had an accident that year to take a look, the bridge has been here for some years, the width is only enough for two cars to pass in parallel, the bridge deck should be cement, He Ning does not know much about this thing, can only roughly guess and judge, the cement road has a lot of potholes and damage, it is estimated that because there are not many vehicles passing here, so it has not been repaired, even the cement guardrails on both sides of the bridge have obvious traces of weathering, and the iron chains between the cement pillars have also been rusted, He Ning and Tang Lizai carefully checked back and forth on this small bridge that is not too long several times, trying to find out if the guardrail of the bridge has been repaired, but after checking twice, there is still no trace of finding, the two of them decided to change their strategy, drove across the bridge and continued to walk forward, to the nearest village and town to inquire, to see if they can gain something.

After crossing the bridge and driving for about ten minutes, we arrived at a town, and there were many small shops on both sides of the road, as well as some flat houses. They were looking for local residents over the age of 40 to make sure they weren't too young to understand anything at the time of the crash, and they weren't so ignorant of anything because they had only moved to the area in recent years.

After turning around, the two of them noticed a shop selling groceries, the façade looked a little old, there were small shelves at the door, on which were placed some bits and pieces of plastic products, and several men in their forties and fifties were smoking cigarettes and chatting about something.

"Just go to this place and ask. Tonic said to Henin.

He Ning nodded, and did not raise any objections, the signboard of this daily miscellaneous Xiaobai is very old, it has faded a little from the sun, and even the words on the signboard are damaged, which at least shows that it is not a new signboard that has just been replaced in the past two years, and the probability of changing the name and owner will be a little smaller, in addition, there are several people in their forties and fifties sitting in the store chatting together, and they are very familiar with each other, which shows that the owner of the store is a local, so he is very familiar with the people around him, otherwise at least among these people who are chatting here, there will be natives who have some understanding of what has happened around them。

The two of them walked over and arrived at the door of the store, two of the people sitting there smoking consciously shrunk their legs, thinking that they were going in to buy something, and the others looked at the two of them with more curiosity and looked at them secretly, because Tang Li and He Ning were complete strangers to this town, and the two of them walked over on foot, without driving, which made it even more confusing.

As soon as he walked in, without saying a word, Tonic took out his ID, showed it to the people around him, and then said to them, "Hello, we want to ask you something." ”

The people who were chatting quieted down one after another, looking at them with some curiosity, waiting for them to speak, and a person who looked like a shopkeeper was the first to nod: "Okay, you can ask whatever you want." ”

"You're all locals, aren't you? There's a bridge not too far from your town, and there was a car accident there more than ten years ago?"

"You mean ten...... That happened eleven years ago, right?" a man with a forward hat on his head counted the years on his fingers, "I know that, and I was there to help." At that time, there was a car from the bridge out, fell into the river, the car was soaked in the river, the small broken bridge, not particularly strong, the load is not very good, the city got a big crane, want to lift the car directly up, the result is not good, the crane on the bridge itself is enough to choke, and then hang the car in the river, it is estimated that the bridge deck will not be able to eat, no way, but the man and the machine have to go, the machine will hang the car out of the river a little, and then find someone to pull up to the shore, I was younger than now, physical strength is quite good, was also found, I thought about helping a handful, it is also a good deed, to accumulate virtue for myself, so I went。 Oops, I regretted it afterwards, and it would have been nice if I hadn't gotten it, it scared me so much that I hadn't slept well for days. ”

"You're too cowardly, aren't you?" said a man with a mustache next to him.

The front hat glared: "I'm cowardly, you really have the face to say this! I'm bold enough, if this is replaced by your virtue, I guess I'll be scared to pee my pants when I see it there!" In fact, it's not scary, it's not a dead person, and the dead cat, the dead dog, the dead pig is not particularly different, at most after being blistered, it is indeed a little uncomfortable to look at, mainly the two people in the car are too miserable, one of them is the seat belt on the roof of the car, stuck, can't be opened at all, and the other is stuck in the car, that is, the car is estimated to be the front of the car hit the pillar or stone or something, hit a big hole, deformed, just maybe the position of the steering wheel or something, I don't understand very well, anyway, it's stuck there, can't move, two people, a man and a woman, estimated to be two, all drowned。 The water in it is actually okay, not too deep, if it is a little colder, the water level is still low, and when it happens, it is just in time for the big summer, the flood season! The water in the river is urgent! Not to mention how anxious it is! It is also deep, and the car will not be able to top it when it turns out. ”

"Ah, I have an impression of what you said!" The shopkeeper listened to the hat for a long time, and also remembered something, "I heard that the license plate of the car was washed away by the water, and then it was fished out, it seems to be a license plate from other places, the kind that is quite far away, anyway, it is not our local, even our province does not seem to be, at that time, there are still people guessing, saying that the car from other provinces, why did it run to our place? The wild mandarin ducks of love!"

"Don't talk nonsense, we're all guessing about this, it's not okay not to talk nonsense in front of other people's police, if it affects something, it's not good. As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Moreover, I think that the man and the woman should be two people, looking at the clothes they are wearing, it doesn't feel like the kind of person who steals chickens and dogs outside and doesn't do serious things, impossible, I think it's a couple." ”

"Yo, can you still tell if people are dressed like people who don't do serious things?" a person next to him snorted and laughed, and asked jokingly.

"Originally!" Qianqian Hat is a serious person, and he is also a little unhappy when he is ridiculed like this, "A good person from a serious family, who has a good life, deliberately goes out to steal [hx] love! Those who can do that thing are a group of shameless people, what kind of person can still dress! It must be a flow of anger, showing arms and legs and revealing big white flesh! I think those two people are dressed very seriously, definitely not that kind of person!"

"It's been a long time, can you still remember what people are wearing? What about you?!" The mustache seemed to be a little addicted to the front hat and the bar, knowing that he was already a little displeased, but he still deliberately opened his mouth to say questioning words, "If you have such a good memory, why don't you just take the school year to the end!"

"Didn't I stop reading it because my family didn't have any money to provide for it? You think it's like you! I don't even read for nothing!" Qianmao was completely unhappy, and his face became gloomy, "How many times have you ever seen a dead person in your life?"

When the other people saw that he was really angry, they hurriedly put away the previous laughter, and persuaded him not to get angry.

Tang Li and He Ning inquired with Qianqian Hat about where the public security organ responsible for salvage and follow-up processing was, and learned that it was the county public security bureau of the county, so they thanked them, left this daily miscellaneous Xiaobai, and drove straight to the county public security bureau, intending to find the police who was in charge of this matter to understand the situation.

So far, the situation has made He Ning and Tang Li feel a little surprised, they suspected that the traffic accident on the bridge might be related to Zhuang Wenbin and Diao Nianhua, but they didn't think it would be so serious, and now they are a little unsure whether this car accident has anything to do with Zhuang Wenbin and Diao Nianhua, but since it has been found to this extent, it is natural to wait until there is a conclusion before making a judgment, there is no reason to easily give up the clues at this juncture.

On the way to the county bureau, Tang Hongye made a phone call to Tang Li, saying that the on-site investigation results of Diao Nianhua's residence had a small harvest, in Diao Nianhua's house they found a lot of messy footprints and fingerprints, but there were only a few places, which were wiped clean, these places were all the doorknobs in the room, the faucet of the kitchen sink, and a tall cabinet upstairs in Diao Nianhua's house, the tall cabinet was less than one meter and a half a meter high, about one meter long, and about half a meter wide, and it was empty, there was nothing, even the original middle partition was removed, and no fingerprints were found inside and outside the cabinet, only noticeable wiping marks.

Although this harvest does not seem to have any real gain, it can also explain a lot of problems, originally because the lock of the door did not have any traces of being broken, so everyone thought that the murderer entered Diao Nianhua's residence in a grand manner without arousing her vigilance and suspicion, now it seems that going in should be grandiose and followed in by other people when they went in and out, and after entering, the murderer tried to hide, and was not discovered by Diao Nianhua, this murderer should not be among the friends invited by Diao Nianhua, and even not a friend of Diao Nianhua's friends and invited friends, because knowing that his existence is unreasonable, that's why he was so careful to wipe off the fingerprints on the doorknob, as for the faucet, it is very likely that there was blood on his body or hands when he abused Diao Nianhua, so he needed to open the faucet and clean it.
