People like Bao Shu who are diligent and diligent, relying on their own self-made efforts to run the next small business that can feed the family, are the most unaccustomed to Xu Chongzhi, who is idle and daydreaming every day. Therefore, even if Xu Chongzhi can be regarded as an old customer, Bao Shu has gradually lost interest in talking to him, the so-called Tao is not the same, everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, but it is the relationship between the restaurant owner and ordinary guests who meet in Pingshui, does he still have to preach and annoy, anyway, he is in the service industry, Xu Chongzhi can afford to give money, he makes clean, hygienic and delicious meals, money and goods, it's as simple as that.

However, Xu Chongzhi has not been here for several days, Bao Shu I thought that he was too much to talk about and provoke people's unhappiness, so he didn't come to take care of his business, although he didn't lack the money of the two jujubes, but the loss of an old customer, for him who thought he was warm and thoughtful, his heart was still a little blocked.

didn't think about it, only a few days later, a police officer came to the door with a photo of Xu Chongzhi, Bao Shu pondered, how do you think Xu Chongzhi doesn't look like a wanted criminal who kills people and crosses goods, is it worth the police to work so hard to investigate and visit? As for his cowardice, once he saw himself killing chickens on the spot, he spit out all the things he had eaten.

Bao Shu is a warm-hearted person, since he recognized him, he took advantage of the gap between cooking and talked to these policemen and said: "I recognize this person, he is my regular customer here, his name is Xu Chongzhi, it seems that he doesn't go to work, but he always has money to spend." It must have been eight or nine days since he last came to my stall for dinner, and I haven't paid much attention to it, because he used to come every day, and I can't remember the day he didn't come. But I remember that on the last day he came, he almost got into a fight, and if I hadn't persuaded him a few words, he would have smashed a beer bottle on the spot. Don't look at Xu Chongzhi, he is usually very honest, he doesn't have much alcohol, and he likes to drink wine, a bottle of beer can make you dizzy, it's not bad to be bold at all, it's not him after he drinks wine, it's okay to talk big or something. That day, he was very angry, it seemed that he owed someone else's money, and others had blocked the door to ask him to pay it back, and he slapped the table and glared at him and insisted that there was no money, and then pushed away the person who stopped in front of him without saying anything, and left in a huff. I still chased it halfway before I got the food money back. Our small business, he is also an old customer, although we are not familiar with each other, but there is always a friendship that has said a few words, but I don't know why this guy likes to hide the most is the food money, if you are not careful, you may run away, and when you come back the next day, he pretended to say that he forgot to drink too much yesterday, and then still resorted to such a method, unless I caught him, he only grinded and chirped to pay for it. Really, it's a shame to be such a big person. ”

"You think about it, when did Xu Chongzhi not come, I want the exact date, and the approximate time when he left here, the more carefully the better." The clues that were finally obtained, Lu Dahu was naturally unwilling to let go, and urged Bao Shu to think about it.

"Yo, I'll have to think about it." Bao Shu put down the frying spoon, cleaned the used pot to the kitchen worker next to him, then rubbed his greasy hands on his apron, took out his mobile phone and began to flip it up: "Oh, today is the thirteenth, I changed the menu on the tenth, Xu Chongzhi didn't come, otherwise he would definitely order fresh vegetables to try, this guy will definitely not treat himself badly." Count forward two days, on the 8th, it rained on the 8th, and my little stall was quite deserted, and if he came, I would definitely have an impression, and he didn't come that day. On the 5th, on the 5th, yes, yes, that day I was busy with business until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and my wife hurriedly called me to say that my son had stepped on the air and rolled down the stairs when he was going up the stairs, and asked me to go home immediately and take him to the hospital. At that time, it was already more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and generally Xu Chongzhi's dinner time was 7 o'clock in the evening, and the error of each time he came back was no more than 10 minutes, and he should not have come that day. Further on, Four, hey, Four, I saw him coming. Yes, yes, that night, he almost got into a fight, yes, yes, that night. Because the fifth is the day I pay the helper, and on the fourth I went to get the money, I came a little late, and when I came over, Xu Chongzhi had already arrived, and he sat in the corner after ordering. yelling that the food fried by the helper is not delicious, and if I have to redo it for him, and I don't give him double money, he always takes advantage of me. Yes, I remember, that day, number four, was the last time I saw him. I came back about 7:30 p.m. after withdrawing the money, and then he should have left before 8 o'clock. Yes, yes, it was 8 o'clock that night. ”

At 8 o'clock in the evening on the 4th, a trace of excitement flashed in Lu Dahu's eyes, which was the time period given by the forensic doctor that Xu Chongzhi might be killed, and he hurriedly urged Bao Shu to continue: "Tell me quickly, when you caught up with him and asked him for food money, did you see the person who quarreled with him again, and did anyone follow him?" What does that person look like, can you describe it to me? ”

"I didn't pay attention, when I asked him for food, the two of us stood in the alley for 5 or 6 minutes, he gave me the money, and I came back. Hey, yes, I looked at him at the time and it seemed like he had a lot of money on him, but there was no light in that place and it wasn't really real, I just remember that he took out a random one from a pile of money and gave it to me, and then urged me to find money, I borrowed the light of my mobile phone, and looked at it as a hundred, and touched it to be true, so I found some change from my pocket and gave it to him, and then I walked back and continued to do business. At that time, it was quite remote, and I don't know why he came home from there, and it stands to reason that he didn't live there and shouldn't have walked to that little alley. But where people go is their freedom, I control too wide and it will annoy people, do you say? "What Bao Shu said is indeed reasonable, ordinary people who will meet in the water and take care of other people's affairs, this is an era when things are not about themselves, and Bao Shu doesn't know that Xu Chongzhi should be killed soon, if he knows too well, there will be ghosts. Therefore, Lu Dahu nodded and motioned for him to talk about the physical characteristics of the person who quarreled with Xu Chongzhi.

Bao Shu smiled: "Needless to say, needless to say, where are you looking." Following Bao Shu's direction, Lu Dahu saw a brand-new camera under the eaves of their roadside food stall. Hey, he's a cola now, in this small city where the penetration rate of cameras is not high, the suspect is likely to be filmed, this kind of good thing is not encountered in a hundred years, and this case is estimated to be solved. He happily took a video tape provided by Bao Shu and returned to the bureau, lamenting that he was really lucky, but Bao Shu only installed the camera on the day Xu Chongzhi was killed.

beckoned Zhen Shubin to come and see the information, and sure enough, as Bao Shu said, at 7 o'clock in the evening of the fourth day, Xu Chongzhi appeared in the monitoring range, sat down and ordered some food, and ate leisurely, about 40 minutes later, a person suddenly rushed out from behind him, first lifted the food in front of Xu Chongzhi to the ground, pushed him almost fell, and then the two of them quarreled. Because the video has no recording equipment, they can't hear what the two people are arguing about, but the body language of both sides is very clear, and the two of them are definitely not conflicts in the ordinary sense.

What made the police excited was that the man who appeared in the surveillance screen, they had seen, was one of the creditors of Xu Chongzhi who had visited and investigated a few days ago, and it was his own brother, Xu Chongli. When they went to Xu Chongli's house a few days ago, Xu Chongli didn't say a word about the fact that he had seen Xu Chongzhi before he died, and deliberately concealed the truth, saying that it was impossible for him to have no ghosts in his heart.

They went directly to Xu Chongli again without stopping. Seeing the police come to the door again, Xu Chongli's heart fluttered, even the expressions of his wife and daughter were a little unnatural. Lu Dahu still expected Xu Chongli to confess himself, so he didn't come up and said that they had evidence that Xu Chongli had contact with Xu Chongzhi and lied to the police, but he only asked him if he had added anything to his previous testimony.

After all, they are honest and kind people all their lives, Xu Chongli's family is a little naturally timid when they face the police, and they are naturally afraid of ghosts knocking on the door when they do bad things. I didn't have the bottom in my heart first, and I naturally had no confidence in speaking, and Zhen Shubin said something in a few words: "I, I accidentally ran into Xu Chongzhi that day and had a little dispute with him." I admit that I knocked him with a stick and took the money from him, but I really didn't mean to kill him, comrade policeman, I really just wanted my money back, I didn't want to kill anyone, his death was really an accident. I honestly confessed that I handed over the stolen money and asked the government for leniency. Xu Chongli trembled and ran to his closet, took out the 30,000 yuan that was tightly hidden, handed it over to Lu Dahu one by one, and pleaded with them nervously and embarrassedly: "I took the initiative to confess, right?" Doesn't it mean that confession is lenient and resistance is severe? I really didn't want to kill him, I really didn't think that I could kill someone with a stick, if I knew that I would shoot him to death with this stick, I wouldn't have been able to go down to this hand anyway, he was just a bastard and no longer a thing, and he was also my own brother, how could I explain to my old mother? It's all my fault, why do I have to die begging to find him, why do I have to really run into him, why do I have to be scolded by him for two sentences and can't help but be angry? I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please, you must believe what I say, I really didn't mean to kill him. ”

"Let's leave these words for us to go back to the bureau and talk about it, we have to talk about evidence in everything, we want to believe you, but you also have to explain the problem clearly, okay, let's go first." Zhen Shubin took out the handcuffs and took Xu Chongli's wife and daughter back to the public security bureau amid the cries of his wife and daughter.

In the interrogation room, no matter how Zhen Shubin was kind and seducing, and how Lu Dahu faithfully pretended to be blackfaced, Xu Chongli insisted that he had no intention of killing people, and his brother's death was purely an accident. And his own account of the crime process and the method of murder are very different from the autopsy report. If Xu Chongli hadn't honestly taken out the 30,000 yuan, and he had an argument with Xu Chongzhi before his death, Lu Dahu would have thought that the old man was deliberately trying to disturb their sight, so he carried the murder charge on his back to cover up the real murderer.

What the hell is going on in this case? It seems to be the simplest thing to kill people for money or revenge, why is it that now, the confession given by the murderer who admits to the murderer does not match the facts? They have every reason to believe that under such a high-pressure interrogation, Xu Chongli, who has honestly befriended all his life, is very unlikely to want to be sloppy under their noses, no matter how they interrogate, whether they ask him to retell the crime from beginning to end, or just bring out a detail for him to confess, Xu Chongli's every time he says can correspond to his previous confessions, and it should not be a lie logically speaking.

Xu Chongli repeatedly emphasized that he was in a small alley where no one was around, and he came firmly according to the back of Xu Chongzhi's head, and even the beating stick was picked up by hand in the alley, after Xu Chongzhi fainted, he hurriedly searched out the money in his pocket, and then fled.

If Xu Chongzhi was really killed by Xu Chongli, his body should have been found at the first scene of the crime, that is, in the alley, and his face should not have been cut with a sharp weapon, but the professional appraisal personnel sent by the police investigated the alley that Xu Chongli confessed several times, and it was impossible to determine whether it was the first scene of the crime. According to the autopsy report, the blunt force injury on the back of Xu Chongzhi's head is indeed not fatal, as long as he is effectively treated, he will only show symptoms of concussion, and if the treatment is not timely, he is likely to fall into a coma, but it is not fatal.

Could it be that after Xu Chongzhi was attacked, someone passed by the scene of the crime, and for some reason, killed Xu Chongzhi again? Within one day, he met two people who killed him in a row, and Xu Chongzhi was really unlucky to arrive home on the night of his death.

The chances of such a coincidence are so low that they have never met since they were police officers anyway.

Xu Chongli's arrest was approved and the crime was determined to be intentional injury, after all, there is no way to define whether it is evidence or confession that he really intentionally killed people. As for the real murderer in the second half, they have to continue to look for it, this time it is really a needle in the haystack, from that alley to the river, there is only a short distance of one kilometer, if the murderer wants to hide people's eyes and quietly throw the body into the river, he only needs to be careful, take more detours, and he can do it.

In the past few days after Xu Chongzhi's death, it has been raining intermittently, but it has helped the murderer a lot, even if there were any traces left on the road to the river, they were completely covered up under the rain, and no matter how wide the eyes of the police were, they did not find the slightest. The case has almost run aground, and if it weren't for the relatively small number of homicides in this city, I am afraid that the case of Xu Chongzhi's murder would have been thrown into the pile of old papers.
