Investigation

Chen Ji waited quietly at the 'door', until Ling Xiao patiently finished feeding the 'medicine' and gently helped the child who was still in a 'coma' to lie back on the sick 'bed', then he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Cheng. Interview wèn:.

Zhang Cheng also looked like he hadn't slept all night, with an obvious tired 'color' on his face and a 'yin' shadow under his eyes, but his eyes were still clear and almost sharp. He turned his head, glanced at Chen Ji, and nodded slightly.

Chen Ji smiled, took the little apprentice into the house with him, lowered his voice and asked her, "How is it?" ”

"If you had been a quarter of an hour late yesterday, you'd have only had one more corpse to examine now." Ling Xiao stretched, but his expression relaxed, and nodded at the three of them, "If there is no accident, you should be able to wake up by tomorrow morning." If you really can't do it, just wait until the time comes and ask directly, this kid shouldn't be the first to be attacked, and he must still remember some of the circumstances at that time. ”

The three men in police uniforms almost all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their eyebrows stretched out for a moment - as long as people are alive, it is always a good thing.

"How are you doing?" Ling Xiao raised his chin slightly and asked.

"It's just a routine check, and there is no useful information yet. There is nothing unusual about the people coming and going in and out of the village. Zhang Cheng shook his head, and then turned his head to look at Chen Ji together.

"It can be determined that he killed him, looking at the traces at the scene, I am more inclined to 'provoke' the murder, and it should be an acquaintance who committed the crime." Chen Ji said as he motioned for Yang Yu to hand the photos he had taken to Ling Xiao and Zhang Cheng, "You see, there is no trace of a fight at the 'door', only there are blood stains in the room, and the murderer should have entered the house peacefully." Looking at the wound, the murder weapon was supposed to be a kitchen knife - I checked their kitchen, and there was a kitchen knife missing, so it should be the murder weapon. But it's very strange that the murder weapon was a kitchen knife in the deceased's house, but the crime happened in the room - so I think it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, and the murderer was about to leave alone, but when he saw the kitchen knife in the kitchen, he made a temporary decision to kill with emotion, and it must have been a very familiar relative and friend who let him leave alone, and he didn't even send it. In addition, the wounds of several deceased people were very messy, deep and shallow, especially the male owner - that is, the father of this child still had several wounds on his body that obviously did not react to life, and were caused after death, which should be the murderer's fear of immortality, or did not know that he was dead, so he mended the knife. ”

"The 'drawer' of the deceased's house has been turned over and the money is gone, which is embezzlement. hua. [Sugar Novel]" Zhang Cheng nodded, and while looking at the photos and records, he answered, "And only a few 'drawer' drawers have been flipped, and the murderer obviously knows very well about the storage of money and property in the deceased's family, and it is not a big problem for acquaintances to commit crimes." The trace examiner extracted a bloody fingerprint on the side of the 'drawer' and was analyzing it, if there was no accident, it should belong to the murderer, but it could only be used for investigation. ”

Ling Xiao suddenly frowned slightly, and glanced thoughtfully at the 'door': "You guys rest, I'll go and have a look." ”

"You haven't slept all night, I'll accompany you when you rest." Chen Ji looked at her with a smile.

Ling Xiao shook his head and stretched out his finger to the ward: "This child's injury may be repeated, I have to wait for it." I can't sleep anyway, so don't waste time. ”

"You go to sleep and I'll take her." Chen Ji frowned slightly, and wanted to persuade again, but Zhang Cheng, who had always been silent and standing aside, suddenly 'interjected' and clapped the board without question.

Chen Ji glanced at the two of them, but he didn't insist anymore, and after telling the two of them to "hurry up and rest for a while", he took the little apprentice cat to the side to rest. Zhang Cheng glanced at Ling Xiao, and simply strode out of the 'door' neatly: "Follow me." ”

"Looking at the scene and the wounds, the order of death should be the male owner, the 'female' owner, and then the old couple." Ling Xiao returned to the scene of the crime after reading the corpse, carefully examined it, squatted in front of a pool of blood on the ground, and held his chin thoughtfully, "The child was stabbed and did not die, but the male owner had a knife wound left after death, I guess it should be that the murderer does not know whether the other party is dead or not, and he slashed several times in a hurry, rather than deliberately mending the knife for fear that he will not die, otherwise he will not let go of the child, and there are no similar injuries on other people's bodies." Therefore, the problem of 'exciting' murder is not big, and there is no experience. ”

Chen Ji nodded and responded: "The male owner was the first to die, and the murderer was obviously very flustered and disorganized." ”

Ling Xiao raised his head, glanced at him approvingly, thought for a while, and said, "At that time, the family of five was watching TV in the room. Although it was old and young, there were 'women' in the people, the resistance was not strong, and the incident happened suddenly, but after all, there were five people present; The time of death was around 7 p.m., at which point no one should have fallen asleep and was awake. In this case, the murderer can kill four people in a row and seriously injure one, so he should be a young man with a strong physique. What are the family's social relationships? Do you have any friends or relatives who are eligible? ”

"In this kind of small village, most people are related to each other." Zhang Cheng frowned, "Most of the young people have gone to the city to study and work, and only the male host's cousin and a distant nephew are still in the village, and there is a younger brother who works in the county seat. ”

Ling Xiao stood up, stretched his waist and said softly: "How about these people check it out?" ”

"They all say that they are with their families, and there doesn't seem to be any leakage 'hole' at the moment." Zhang Cheng shook his head.

Ling Xiao suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What about this morning?" ”

"You mean ......" Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned.

"Check who didn't know where we were at the health station just now," Ling Xiao had already turned around and walked out of the 'door', "someone was outside the 'door' when we spoke. But it's just a flash, and if it's not related to this case, you can check it first. ”

Zhang Chengshen's 'color' froze, his eyes became sharp for a moment, and he subconsciously looked around, saw that no one was a little relaxed, and strode out of the 'door' in a low voice.

Ling Xiao returned to the health station, checked the child's injury again, and saw that the injury was stable and there was no sign of recurrence for the time being, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the side of the hospital 'bed' leaning on the back of the chair, playing with the flute in his hand without a match.

At noon, Zhang Chengcai finally came back, but there was no sign of stretching his brows: "I have sent someone to check, and in the morning, my cousin was at home and my nephew entered the city, and there were witnesses." ”

Are there witnesses? Ling Xiao was also slightly stunned, and sighed a little helplessly: "Have you notified the younger brother of the deceased's family?" ”

Zhang Cheng nodded: "I have been notified, saying that I am on the way back." ”

Ling Xiao also nodded and did not speak again.

The case seems to have suddenly reached an impasse, but fortunately, there is still a survivor, because they think that they can ask the murderer when they wait for the child to wake up, and at least they can ask useful clues, and the group is not too anxious. After staying up all night the day before, I was really tired today, and after arranging for a few policemen to take turns keeping vigil at the health station, the group still couldn't hold on, and stayed in the village guest house, scrambling to wash up and turn off the lights to rest.

The village is remote, there is no entertainment at night, and there is not even much television. By 9 o'clock in the evening, every household had turned off the lights and went to bed to rest, and even the health station was pitch black - the facilities of the health station were poor, and there were only three or five medical staff in total, but fortunately there were no patients during the day, let alone at night, so there was always no one on duty. The village is so big, the villagers and neighbors don't look up and look down, if there is really something, it is better to go directly to the "doctor's" house and knock on the 'door' quickly.

The policeman guarding the 'door' of the ward seemed to be a little sleepy, looked around for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then got up and walked out of the ward. The night temperature in the mountains was extremely low, so he subconsciously shrank and wrapped his coat tightly, and after looking for a while, he found a small corner of the wind a hundred meters away by the faint moonlight, shrunk down with his coat wrapped, sat down on the ground, and then lit a cigarette.

Smoking is harmful to health, everyone knows this, but there is no way, there are very few people who do the police profession and have no addiction to smoking, otherwise they really can't afford to stay up late so much.

But this time, it seems that he can't even 'smoke' cigarettes, and he 'smokes' two cigarettes in succession, but he still can't hold the sleepiness and yawning that hit his heart. Squinted his eyes and struggled for a while, but finally he couldn't resist the heavier and heavier sleepiness, and he glanced around with his 'spirit' spirit, hesitated for a while, and finally closed his eyes.

The cigarette butt was extinguished, and the last bits of light were gone. The weather was not good that night, even the moonlight was a little dim, and there were not many street lights in the village, so it looked like the whole thing was plunged into darkness. In mid-autumn and early winter, even the chirping of insects and birds has long been gone, and it is so quiet that people are a little frightened.

I don't know how long it took, but in the darkness, a tall figure crept slowly into the health station. He paused slightly as he entered the big 'door', and seemed to look nervously at the corner for a long time, and then finally took another step and slowly entered the 'door' almost on tiptoe. It was too dark, and he struggled to find the direction for a while, and took advantage of the darkness to 'touch' the ward little by little.

As soon as the police came out, the 'door' was still hidden. The man stretched out his hand, cautiously pushed open the 'door', looked around again, and then dodged into the room. There was no light in the ward, and it was so dark that you could barely see your fingers. After closing the 'door', the man hesitated slightly for a while, quietly 'touched' his mobile phone from his pocket, and finally saw the layout of the room and the location of the 'bed' by the light of the mobile phone, and lightly arrived in front of the 'bed' and raised his hand.

A fruit knife in his hand still looks a little shocking in the deliberately dimmed light of the mobile phone.

The hand on the hilt of the knife tightened, and the fingers were almost white.
