Chapter 697: Witnesses

The night is getting darker and the neon lights are getting brighter.

When Su Tong arrived at Liuhai Village, it was already late at night.

The other members of the Serious Crime Team had already rushed to Liuhai Village when they informed Su Tong, and the two teams arrived almost at the same time.

"Sister Su, you can't open it in front." He Xingchen shouted to her across a river.

Su Tong turned off the fire, grabbed a flashlight and got out of the car.

Chen Hui's police car was parked not far from her.

To enter Liuhai Village, you must park outside the village, because the village is surrounded by a river for more than half of the year, and the only way to enter the village entrance is to pass through a rudimentary wooden plank bridge in front of you.

The elderly village chief and the members of the serious crime team waited together: "Comrade policeman, what did Liu Xiangui do?" ”

Su Tong motioned to He Xingchen to help the old man, and while looking at the surrounding environment, he said casually: "It's nothing for the time being, just visit and investigate." ”

The village chief said, "Then if he commits a crime, we won't be implicated, right?" ”

The light of the flashlight shines out of the regular cylinder, taking on a cylindrical glow, illuminating the potholed road on the ground.

She looked at the village chief, her eyes a little sharp: "Do you know what he has done?" ”

The village chief looked at her hesitantly, and suddenly said: "His house is the farthest place in the village from the entrance of the village, and we don't know what to do in normal times." ”

"The village is not big, why is it not clear?" Chen Hui interjected at the right time, drawing the village chief's attention to him.

In a small village, a few people walked for nearly half an hour to Liu Xiangui's house, which was not much different from what the village chief said, this house was the farthest place from the entrance of the village, and there were no other houses nearby.

The dilapidated brick house in front of me looks like it is only a few dozen square meters, and there is a mess around it, with a straw shed for raising chickens, and there is nothing in it except some dirty weeds.

"Here it is." The village chief seemed to be disgusted, and stood far away from the room.

"That's right, it's here." He Xingchen looked at the direction in his hand and nodded at everyone.

Chen Hui touched one hand behind him, and pressed the other hand on the wooden door, which was so fragile that it could be pushed down with a slight push.

Su Tong stood on the other side of the door, his hand already pressed on the cold handle of the gun.

In the quiet atmosphere, she nodded lightly at Chen Hui.

In the next moment, Chen Hui violently pushed the door open and rushed into the room.

Su Tong followed closely, and where the flashlight shone, there was a vast amount of dust wafting in the air.

The dark, quiet room was empty.

After confirming that there was no danger in the house, members of the Crime Squad swarmed into the cramped room.

"What does it smell like?"

He Xingchen wrinkled his nose and sniffed hard.

Zhou Li also made a sound: "It stinks." ”

There was a soft 'pop' sound, and the village chief turned on the light.

The dim light illuminated the room, which contained nothing but a plank bed and a rotten table with a missing leg.

"Sister Su!"

Chen Hui shouted in a deep voice, everyone followed his gaze, there was a person leaning at the foot of the bed, and there was a large pile of dried blood stains left on his heart, his face was pale, and some exposed places had begun to fester, and the smell of decay came from his body.

"Dead ...... Dead! ”

The old village chief couldn't stand the fright, he almost didn't catch his breath, and fainted on the spot.

The pungent smell of decay intensified as the footsteps approached, Su Tong took a tissue given by Chen Hui to cover his nose, put on gloves, and squatted down to examine the man's body.

Two fingers pinched the broken clothes on his chest, lifted them slightly, looked at the black hole wound, and then Su Tong's gaze went down, staring at the faint marks on the ground that were kicked by the friction of his shoes, and said softly:

"After being hit in the heart, the victim should have struggled with the nerve reflex for a while before dying completely."

He Xingchen brought a small black box to Su Tong: "Sister Su, the signal is sent from this." ”

Su Tong took it, looked at it twice, and then walked outside, the village chief was panting incessantly, obviously not completely relieved.

"Village chief, the person inside, please go in and recognize it and confirm whether it is Liu Xiangui."

When the village chief heard this, his eyes widened in fright, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "If you don't go, you won't go, I know him!" He wears that dress all year round! ”

Seeing him like this, Su Tong was not reluctant, put the small black box into the object bag, and continued to ask: "Has the victim Liu Xiangui always lived in this room?" ”

"Wait, I, I'm shocked."

The village chief followed the light of the flashlight, trembled from the cloth bag he carried, took out a smoking gun, lit the smelly leaf smoke, and took a sharp breath before speaking again:

"This place was built by Liu Xiangui himself, his own house, he must live here."

Chen Hui walked out wearing gloves, and there was a suspicious slime on the gloves, and he leaned closer to Su Tong and said, "The victim died three days ago. ”

"Village chief, we, the police, ask for the whole village to be questioned tomorrow."

"Ask what?" The village chief was startled, stopped smoking cigarettes, and looked at Su Tong a little helplessly: "We villagers didn't kill him!" It's too late to hide from him! ”

Hide?

Su Tong followed up and asked, "Can you elaborate on it?" ”

The village chief glanced at the house in embarrassment, and then nodded: "Anyway, the person is dead, so you can't come to me in the middle of the night." That Liu Xiangui, he's an addict! ”

After the last cargo ship incident, Su Tong subconsciously rushed to his head with anger when he heard the addict.

Her face sank: "You go on. ”

"His place is far away from the entrance of the village, and ordinary people will not pass through here if they rush to gather or something, plus everyone knows what he sucks, so they all avoid him, comrade police, you say, how can we villagers do such a thing?"

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Li saw that the old man was frightened enough and began to explain, so she sang with a white face: "We didn't say that you killed someone, let's just ask, on the day Liu Xiangui was killed, there may be eyewitnesses." ”

Who knew that the village chief shook his head vigorously after hearing this: "Impossible, absolutely impossible." If you don't suspect us, just ask this, comrade police, you can ask casually! ”

Su Tong and the others couldn't give up the interrogation because of the village chief's words of assurance.

But they also knew in their hearts that it should be that after Wei Sen killed Liu Xiangui, the owner of the house, he stayed in his house to carry out a series of remote operations, and Wei Sen was unlikely to leave a handle.

is not much different from what the village chief said, all the villagers in Liuhai Village mentioned Liu Xiangui's attitude of disgust and fear, no one would pass by on weekdays, even if they passed by, they lowered their heads and went far away, not to mention that there were witnesses on the day he was killed.
