I can't find any clues from the file, so I can only start with the insiders of the year. "Shall we go to the suspect's child first and ask, his mother killed her neighbor, and the motive was that she couldn't bear the rude aggression of her neighbor, so he knows some of the inside story better than others." I asked Li Jing with my cheeks on my cheeks.

"That's a good point to consider, but I also want to study the victims in the case, and sometimes the corpse can tell us more stories." Li Jing sat across from me and looked at the materials brought out from Mr. Lu's house repeatedly.

"But the body has already been cremated, what evidence can you gather?"

"No, aren't there photos and transcripts?" Li Jing waved the information in his hand.

"What can I tell you?" I looked at him quizzically.

"If you read it carefully, you'll find a lot of interesting content." Li Jing motioned for me to be beside him, and he took a red pen to mark some words, "You see that it is clearly written here that he has thick calluses on the fingers and knuckles of his left hand, and you are comparing the photos, you can clearly see that the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the victim's left hand have obvious yellow hard calluses on the belly of the fingers and the second joint." This indicates that the victim's dominant hand is left-handed, and the thick calluses on the belly and second joint indicate that the victim's work may be related to mechanical installation, and this hard callus is likely to be caused by friction during a large number of repeated installations. ”

I checked the transcript with the photo, and sure enough, as Li Jing said, there were thick yellow calluses on the first three fingers of the victim's left hand. I flipped through the information and tried to confirm the victim's occupation.

"On the first page." Li Jing knew what I was looking for and said, "No need to confirm, the file says that the victim is unemployed." ”

"Unemployed?" I looked at Li Jing in surprise, first of all, in that era, everyone was basically working or farming, and the work was basically an iron rice bowl, unless it was a ruffian hooligan, it was difficult to have unemployed people, "This victim was an unemployed young man at that time?" I confirmed with Li Jing again.

Li Jing didn't say anything, but said lightly: "It's just written that there is no job on the information, it's too early to draw conclusions, I just called Shi Hao and asked him to help check the current residence of the aunts of the neighborhood committee." After eating for a while, let's buy some fruit and visit the director of the neighborhood committee to see if she can tell us more useful information. At dinner, I made an appointment with the suspect's son, and like you said, I got to know the suspect first, or I started with the people closest to her. ”

In the afternoon, in the community where the accident occurred, we visited the old grandmother who worked in the neighborhood committee that year, and when she talked about what happened 20 years ago, the old lady still had a frightened expression: "When I think of 20 years ago, my heart is still beating 'suddenly' non-stop." The old lady poured us juice, "Oh, why did you say Feng Xia was so impulsive at that time?" The old lady patted her leg pitifully.

"Don't worry, grandma, we just want to know what you saw back then." I sat next to the old lady and drank juice.

"I blamed me for not paying attention to what happened back then. Maybe you young people will dislike me as an old woman and nag now, but if I don't say a lot of things, I will feel like I'm suffocating. "The old lady was a little bit like she was wondering if we would listen to her.

I hurriedly put down the juice and grabbed the old lady's arm: "Say it quickly, Li Jing and I want to hear it." ”

Li Jing also hurriedly echoed: "We will come to you here to find out what happened back then, please let Jin Fengxia suddenly have killing intent." And a few days ago, Jin Fengxia's son once found the police who investigated the case that year, and swore that his mother did not kill anyone. Although it is not a reversal of the case, we did find some omissions in the investigation of the year, and no matter what the outcome of the investigation is, we want to give an explanation to the child back then. It can be regarded as helping him, but it is a wish. ”

Hearing this, the old lady sighed: "Alas, it's no wonder it's hard for that child." I remember that he was only about 10 years old when the accident happened, and Feng Xia was probably afraid of affecting the child, so he never let the child visit him after the accident. But when we didn't go back to see her, he would ask about Yuanyuan for a long time. But when she said that she should bring the child to her, she disagreed. It was when we were about to leave that she kept asking us to help her take care of the child and help her keep an eye on whether there was a suitable person who could adopt Yuanyuan. When she was in the hospital at the end, she heard that someone wanted to adopt Yuan Yuan, and when she signed it, she kept crying, and she wet all the formalities. The child was actually outside the door at the time, and he kept crying when he saw his mother signing, probably knowing that his mother didn't want him. A few people from the neighborhood committee also felt uncomfortable when they looked at it, they had lived for so long, and they had seen a lot of things about life and death, but there was only one time when they were sinned, but there was really no other way at that time. The day after completing the formalities, Feng Xia left, probably because she didn't care. Thinking of the scene at that time, the old lady was a little embarrassed.

"Yuan Yuan was not sent to a welfare home after his mother Jin Fengxia was arrested by the police?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Li Jing's eyes.

"Nope." The old lady's tone suddenly became a little angry, "The people in the welfare home said that the child's father is still alive and does not have the conditions to accept it. That's all excuses, just for fear of getting yourself into trouble. At that time, reporters always came to inquire about Yuan Yuan's situation, and it is estimated that the welfare institute refused for fear of trouble. ”

It's cruel, I said in my heart, since I have a father, I asked the old lady, "Then did Yuan Yuan go to live with his father later?" ”

The old lady sneered: "How is it possible? I don't know his father, in order to live a better life, he went to the United States to marry a rich woman, and left Fengxia and his mother in China with a letter of resignation. How could he possibly come back to adopt a child? ”

"Then you were taking care of Yuan Yuan at that time, right?" If no one cared about this child, he wouldn't have grown up on his own.

"I'm not right to say yes. At that time, the distant father and the welfare institute had been shirking each other, and they didn't want to get into trouble, but there was no way, so the old ladies of our neighborhood committees took turns to take care of the child first, and when we found a suitable person to marry, we would see how to help the child go through the adoption procedures. ”

Li Jing tilted his head sideways and pondered for himself before looking at us and asking, "By the way, Grandma Li, how did you find an adoptive family?" ”

"We weren't looking for it." Grandma Li hurriedly shook her hand, "It was another neighbor of Fengxia who helped find it." ”

"Another neighbor?" Li Jing repeated the old lady's words.

The old lady was afraid that Li Jing would not understand, so she hurriedly explained: "Feng Xia and a couple in their unit, both of whom are university teachers, have a wide range of paths, and they know that we are looking for an adoptive family for Yuanyuan, so they took the initiative to help us contact us." The one who adopted us Yuanyuan was their colleague, who also worked as a teacher at the university. When a person reaches middle age and has no children, he decides to adopt Yuan Yuan, what a good person. ”

"What about the family of the victim Xu Zilong? Didn't they come to trouble the children? Li Jing winked at me secretly, and I knew he was about to get down to business.

"Them?" The old lady had a righteous look of indignation on her face, "What face do they have to embarrass a child?" They came once, I scolded them once, and then I was scolded and scared by the people in our neighborhood committee, so I never came again. ”

"It seems that you have a very bad impression of Xu Zilong." Li Jing looked at the old lady's face.

"That's why I said that I had to pay a little more attention at that time, and maybe the ending would be different." The old lady looked regretful, "It's not good to say bad things about dead people, but I'm at this age, and I'm not afraid to say some things." That Xu Zilong deserved to be like that in the end, even if Feng Xia didn't kill him, he estimated that he would be beaten to death by someone that day. ”

"So strict?" After speaking, Li Jing and I looked at each other for a moment.

"Of course. You don't look at what he did! The old lady raised her voice, "The area that our neighborhood committee was in charge of at that time, and the biggest headache was this Xu Zilong." Three days and two troubles. The ancients said that 'kicking the widow's door and digging the grave of the ancestors' are the two most immoral things in the world, Xu Zilong, this kid has no courage to rob the tomb, but the bullying of widows and divorced women, it is absolutely done. At first, I just went to molest those women who had lost their husbands every day, and went to people's homes to get things; Later, the guts became fatter and fatter, and even women with husbands did not let go, taking advantage of the absence of their husbands, they followed behind other people's little daughters-in-law with their faces and said cool words, touched the hands of people's little daughters-in-law, and robbed the things in the hands of people's little daughters-in-law. The women came to me and cried, and we went to the house, but it didn't work. Xu Zilong was not stingy, and the things he grabbed were quickly dirty, and some of the little daughters-in-law didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so they didn't call the police. The police didn't catch him, and there was nothing they could do about him. That kid thief, knowing that when he was staring at the police, when the police were there, that kid would never shoot at anyone. Some men, or daughters-in-law and husbands found out and went to block the kid, and after the kid was beaten, they gathered a group of friends to beat his man's unit to make trouble, so that everyone had nothing to do with him. Later, a few of us planned to patrol by ourselves when the police were not there, arrest him, and send him directly to the police station. As a result, before the plan was implemented, this kid was stabbed to death by Feng Xia with a knife. Although it was not good to say this, everyone felt that Feng Xia had done a good deed at that time, and few people sympathized with that kid. ”

Li Jing didn't make too many comments after listening to it, and frowned again and went to figure things out by himself.

I'm afraid that the old lady won't adapt to Li Jing's weird temper, so I quickly continued to chat with the old lady: "Grandma Li, does Xu Zilong have a job?" If he is so annoying, you can go to his unit and talk to his leader. ”

"He leads? He didn't have a job, where is the leader? The old lady said disdainfully.

"But." I hesitated to say it.

Li Jing took over the words at this time: "Then what does he usually live on?" You can't just rob a widow of something, can you? ”

The old lady sighed again: ", you said that Xu Zilong is angry, and there are also pitiful places for him." His mother left early, and his father was an alcoholic, so he didn't take care of his brothers much, and he beat him up when he was drunk, so he didn't give him a real education. But this kid is smart, I don't know where I learned the craft of repairing things, whether it's engineering pipelines, household appliances, bicycles or whatever, as long as it's broken, this kid can help you fix it. It is said that he should have lived quite wealthy with this craft back then, but he was lazy, he didn't work all the time, and he was idle all day long, so he didn't have much money, and no girl wanted to live with him in his virtue. There's not much of a problem with his craft account, but as far as he looks like a hanger, it's really useless to want to make his life better. ”

It seems that this is the reason why the deceased has calluses on his hands, I thought to myself. We talked a few more before we got up and took our leave.

"Feng Xia's murder has a great impact on Yuan Yuan, if you can find the real murderer when you investigate the case again this time, and prove that Feng Xia is innocent, maybe you can really cure Yuan Yuan's heart disease." When the old lady sent us out, she still chatted with us like this, "Fengxia is a good person, but her fate is not good." I was abandoned by my husband when I was young, and I finally pulled my children to live a little better, and something like this happened. Alas, it's all fate. The old lady waved her hand at us as a goodbye.
