"She begged us not to let anyone know that she had come to the police, and that if her parents knew, they would have killed her." Lao Bian recounted this incident many years ago in a clear and usual tone.

"Because you listened to her, you didn't put this record in the last big file?"

"Old Criminal, this is not an official report, and ......" Lao Bian shook his head, "There are loopholes in her narrative, but we still investigate." ”

"What's the problem?" Dynasty asked.

"Time to die." Torture Conglian narrowed his eyes.

The forensic report on the file indicates that the time of death of the old homeless man was around 4 a.m.

But according to Shen Lian's account, she witnessed Chen Jianguo pushing down the homeless man when she returned home from cram school, and this time point should be between 18:00-22:00, which does not match the real time of death of the deceased.

Lao Bian nodded: "Although there are problems with the girl's testimony, we still did four investigations, and there was no suspicion." Finally, we investigated the identity of the junior high school student. ”

"Is it Shen Lian?"

Lao Bian nodded: "In this matter, although she herself keeps who she is, we must investigate her identity and background, and we can easily find out that she is the daughter of the Shen family at No. 4 Xiaolin Lane." Later, we found the director of the local neighborhood committee, knocked on the side, of course, did not mention the girl's name, but the director also guessed that it was Shen Lian. ”

"Shen Lian......" Lin Chen said softly, "How could the director guess that it was her at once?" ”

Lao Bian tapped his brain with his finger and said, "The director said that they had long guessed that Shen Lian would go to the police for the death of the homeless, Shen Lian had already made trouble at home many times before, and the relationship between the Shen family and the Chen family was also very stiff. She said that the little girl had a bad brain and had a problem. ”

The old police officer's so-called bad brain is, of course, a mental problem.

"But Shen Lian has no medical records of mental illness." Lin Chen said.

"No, but at that time, if the child was not mentally normal, many parents hid it, and Shen Lian's mental problems were not so serious, so her parents did not send their daughter to the hospital." Lao Bian said.

Lin Chen was very keenly aware of the problem in the old words: "How do you know that because her mental problems are not serious, her parents did not send her to the hospital?" ”

Lin Chen emphasized the word "parents".

"We talked to her parents about that." Lao Bian said.

In the room, Wang Chao gasped: "Didn't she beg you not to let her parents know, why did you still say it!" ”

Xing Conglian said: "It should be leaked out by the director of the street office?" ”

Lao Bian was very helpless and wanted to touch the cigarette, so the torturer took out one from his pocket, and the old man bit the cigarette, and the torturer lit the lighter.

The old policeman said: "In the small streets and alleys, there are no secrets between neighbors, and the street director talked to Shen Lian's parents, and the two husbands and wives came to the police station one day to explain their daughter's problem." The husband and wife mean that their daughter went to school in the morning and saw someone dead on the road, she was very excited when she was stimulated, and Shen Lian always felt that the death of the old homeless man was related to herself, so she changed a lot of reasons. They took their daughter to the countryside at that time to keep her away from the source of stimulation. Shen Lian's parents finally begged us not to let their daughters leave a criminal record. Lao Bian spat out his cigarette, "How can this be said to be a case record, that is, a simple investigation." ”

"So, you simply believe what Shen Lian's parents say?" The criminal conglian said sharply, "After leaving after the incident, my daughter has a mental abnormality, no matter how you look at it, this is a problem for both parents." ”

"Her parents were not at home that night, they were working overtime, and the alibi was very accurate, so there were no two of them in the confession. And it's basically the same as what Shen Lian's parents said, because Chen Jianguo was not arrested, Shen Lian came to us again. This time, the little girl's testimony changed again. ”

Because the old police officer smoked, the second floor was filled with smoke, and in addition to the sun on the top floor, the room was as hot as a steamer.

However, that night, it was bitterly cold.

Parents didn't come home because of the night shift, and Shen Lian, a junior high school student, has become accustomed to this kind of night when she occasionally lives alone. But that day, because of the cold wave, it was freezing rain, and the Celsius outside the house had dropped to below zero, and of course the house was not much better. She did witness the old homeless man arguing with Chen Jianguo, but the time was not when she came back from cram school, but at 12 o'clock in the evening. She finished her homework and was about to go to bed, when she heard a woman's cry outside the house, very soft, but the sexual whining sound of being covered was very clear in the drizzling winter night.

She struggled for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to quietly open the curtains and push open a little window. Through the extremely faint light of the street lamp, I saw an extremely disgusting and dirty scene.

She saw Chen Jianguo under the eaves, his pants half off, and Aunt Li Wanru next door □□.

The teenage girl peeped until midnight □□, and she kept watching from the window. But neither she nor Li Jianguo, or even Li Wanru did not expect that in the cold winter night, a fourth person appeared.

The old homeless man came back from picking up leftovers from the hotel at night, and accidentally walked into the hidden alley where no one should have been. In the dark night, the old man wore a ragged cotton coat, but he descended like a god, leaving the two people in the alley with nothing to hide. Li Wanru fled in a hurry, and Chen Jianguo killed the old homeless man in order to kill him.

This is the second version of the story, and there is already more detailed plot than the simple structure of the first version.

After listening, Wang Chao just flipped over his phone and said: "I checked the historical meteorological records of that day, -1~4°, it is still raining lightly, Chen Jianguo is not afraid of freezing jj?" ”

The torturer Lian slapped the dynasty on the scalp as usual: "Just you know? The wording is still so uncivilized. ”

When he said this, no one took it. The room was quiet and frightening, as if the dark shadow of the dead was gently floating in a winter night.

Lin Chen sat in the corner, keeping his eyebrows locked and pondering. When the line of sight of the Conglian Company was projected, Lin Chen also happened to raise his eyes and asked, "This is the second version, is there a third version of the story?" ”

Because he was completely guessed what had happened, Lao Bian suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Chen in dismay, then rubbed his face and continued to speak.

After the midnight cheating version, Shen Lian found the police for the third time and changed his eyewitness testimony again.

This time, she told the police that the person who actually cheated with Chen Jianguo was not Li Wanru, and Chen Jian intended to sexually assault a little girl that night, and the girl was saved from being killed by an old beggar. However, Chen Jianguo was angry, and at a later date, he secretly went to trouble the old beggar and killed him on the edge of the bridge.

Probably this case also left a deep trace in Lao Bian's heart, so the old policeman did not mess up the details at all.

Lin Chen sat on the back of the chair, his legs folded, and he was looking down at the shadow somewhere on the wooden floor, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, Lin Chen spoke: "It should be, there is a last version of the story, right?" ”

Lin Chen asked.

However, what is unprecedented is that Lin Chen guessed wrong this time, Lao Bian did not nod, but denied it very dryly: "No, this is the version of the story that Shen Lian said at the end." ”

Lin Chen raised his head suddenly: "What's wrong?" ”

"What do you mean?" Lao Bian has been talking for so long, and his emotions are a little not so right, he asked Lin Chen inexplicably.

"It shouldn't. After that, Shen Lian really didn't look for you again? Lin Chen asked again.

The old man pressed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "What Consultant Lin wants to say, my old man can't understand it anymore." ”

Lin Chen said very clearly: "I mean, I don't think Shen Lian has told the truth of the matter, she should come to you again." ”

"She did come." Lao Bian said.

"For the last time?"

"One last time."

"What happened made her leave without changing her eyewitness testimony."

The old man sighed: "Because my partner finally couldn't help it, he exposed the little girl's lies in person." ”

Lao Bian said that his partner was different from him, he was born with a violent temper.

Again and again deceived by a little girl with false words, wasting the manpower and material resources of the police, his partner was already very dissatisfied.

The fourth time Shen Lian found them, his partner directly told Shen Lian that she should study hard and that it was not fun to find the police. In all her fabricated stories, the time of the old homeless's death and the real time of the deceased's death do not match.

"And then?" Lin Chen asked.

"Then Shen Lian left."

Lin Chen frowned: "Can you please carefully recall what special things happened at that time, so that Shen Lian never looked for you again after leaving." ”

Lao Bian scratched his eyebrows and fell into painful memories.

"It must have been your partner's words that caused her to have violent emotional swings, and her reaction should be obvious."

"That's when it comes to the time of the homeless's death!" The old man patted his leg, "My partner said that the old homeless man did not die in the middle of the night, but at dawn the next day, the little girl said a few "impossible", especially excited, and the half-grown girl almost attacked my partner. ”

"Attack?" The dynasty was shocked.

"I pinched my neck, but my partner stopped me." Lao Bian shook his head again and again, "After that, we really believe that she is abnormal, and the normal little girl who comes to make up stories with the police again and again is too paranoid." ”

The old man was still chattering, and the old policeman was forced to turn up the old things from more than ten years ago and tell them again, and in the end, after the story was told, the old man seemed to be unable to stop the car, and began to recall the past.

The torture congregation didn't even say a few words to the other party, but he kept paying attention to Lin Chen's expression.

From the time he heard that Shen Lian was excited because of the time of the old tramp's real death, Lin Chen had always maintained a thoughtful expression, and in the end, Xing Conglian obviously saw a sad look on Lin Chen's face.

Lin Chen's expression flickered, and he slowly blinked his eyelids, as if he had completed the puzzle pieces, and everything became clear and clear.

Lin Chen stood up and said goodbye to the old man. 166 Reading Network
