Chapter 174: Imitation Crime

The weather is cold and cold, and winter is especially difficult for poor families.

Thin quilts are torn, little rice is oil-free, and survival has become the biggest problem.

---------------------------

The bodies of the three members of the Zhang family were still in place, and Bai Qiuchi and Su Can stepped forward to check.

The wife and children were lying on the table, and the husband fell to the floor, perhaps to call for help, but he swallowed his breath before he could reach the door.

"How's it going?" Su Can asked.

"My lord, this family of three first took it*, and then they were stabbed to death." He paused and gave a specific explanation, "There are no knife wounds on the child's body, it should be due to overmedication, and both husband and wife have fatal knife wounds, and there are traces of repeated cuts." The husband suffered five stab wounds and the wife had nine stab wounds. ”

"What about the time of death?"

"It's probably the time of the year. The son died first, followed soon by the wife, and finally the husband. There was a gap between the death of the son and the husband and wife, and the time of the husband and wife was very close, and I judged from the wounds. He looked at the body and said, "When I cut my wife, I wasn't very skilled, but when I got to my husband, I was better." And according to the shape of the wound, the murder weapon that slashed the two people should be the same knife. ”

"It should be time for dinner."

Bai Qiuchi and Su Can both squatted down and took a closer look at their husband's situation, and then turned to look at their wives and children.

"Judging by the direction, the murderer should be left-handed." White Autumn Pond Road.

Su Can nodded to indicate that he was also judging the same.

---------------------------

"The last meal they ate was quite hearty." There was pity in Su Can's eyes.

Judging from the leftovers, three people eat three dishes and one soup, which is indeed quite rich for a poor family. Braised fish, pork belly, mushroom stew, and egg drop vegetable soup, the fish is almost only the skeleton, and there are slightly more others.

"Is the * used the same as that of Chengtang Village?" Su Can asked.

"It's not the same. I checked separately and found that there was a * ingredient in fish and pork belly. This kind of * can directly cause a coma and will not feel anything. He bowed down and explained, "Alas, it should be that the husband and wife are reluctant to eat fish, so they give it to the child, and the child died first after taking an overdose of medicine." The husband and wife, who had eaten less, were not poisoned, but were later hacked to death by the murderer. ”

"Alright, you go get busy."

"Yes." The servant and the two servants drew the outline of the body with painting powder, and prepared to transport the body away.

---------------------------

"This case* is different from Chengtang Village, the murderer did not torture the deceased to death, and repeatedly slashed the unconscious person, which shows that he is not skilled with a knife." White Autumn Pond Analysis.

"The dominant hand is not the same, it seems that it was not done by one person, and this second murderer is not an expert." Su Can said.

"Imitation crime." Bai Qiuchi nodded in agreement.

"So the news got out." Su Can sighed, "I don't know how it will be misreported." I'm just worried that this incident will make more people imitate crime. ”

"Then should the government come forward to declare that this is not the same person?" Bai Qiuchi asked.

"No, you don't. Now that the two murderers have not been caught, the statement may cause panic in the society, and it also reminds others to commit imitation crimes. ”

Bai Qiuchi is clear.

---------------------------

"My lord, we've come back from our investigation." Ah Shui took three or four people to visit the surrounding neighbors, and now he has come back to report the situation.

"Husband Zhang Feng, when he was established, did some small business, usually willing to give, but his family situation is average, but he often lends money to others, for which he is also in debt, and now he has become a family with four walls. His wife, Cui Jing, mainly raises children at home, does some needlework to subsidize the family, and is also a simple woman. Because the family was poor, his son did not go to school, but he often eavesdropped outside the school, and Mr. Jiaoshu felt that the child was diligent, so he turned a blind eye. Xiao Zhou looked at his record and said.

"The neighbors said that although the family was poor, they were kind and helpful, and there would be no enemies." Ah Shui added.

"Who was the first discoverer?"

"It's Aunt Li next to his house, the old man is old and can't wear a needle, so he occasionally comes to Cui Jing for help and chatters. This morning, Aunt Li went to Zhang's house and knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time, and the door was not locked, so she walked in to find them, but the old man was frightened and stumbled out to find someone to report to the official. ”

"Did you ask about the scene?"

"Asked." Xiaozhou scratched her head embarrassedly, "But Aunt Li said that she was so frightened at the time that she didn't notice the situation at the scene at all." ”

"Are there any witnesses?"

"Looking."

"The brothers have worked hard, and they have to be busier these days." Su Can said.

"We're not afraid of hard work, adults ......" Xiao Zhou was about to say something, and Ah Shui slapped him on the back of the head.

"Don't disturb the adults to discuss the case, let's go to work!"

"Oh, good." Xiaozhou swallowed his saliva and swallowed back what he wanted to say, and followed Ah Shui and the others away.

In fact, he wanted to say that adults should also pay attention to their bodies......

---------------------------

After a few people retreated, Bai Qiuchi and the others planned to walk around to see the situation.

The onlookers had already evacuated, and as soon as they went out, they saw a person still stupidly there.

What does he know?

"Hello......" Bai Qiuchi stepped forward.

Before the words could be spoken, the person trembled and took three steps back, and saw Su Can even crawl and run.

"What's the situation?"

Su Can and Bai Qiuchi reacted immediately and immediately chased after them.

This person was terrified, and he didn't run far before he was caught by Bai Qiuchi and taken directly back to the yamen for interrogation.

---------------------------

"I ...... I didn't, I didn't kill anyone! The man kept repeating the phrase.

"Calm down." Bai Qiuchi persuaded.

"No killing, no ......" His eyes were glazed and his eyes were full of fear.

"Master Su, let me ask him alone." Bai Qiuchi saw that he was in a very bad state, so he discussed it with Su Can.

Su Can thought for a while, if this person really wanted to run, it would not be difficult for Bai Qiuchi's martial arts to subdue him, but it would be a waste of time to stalemate like this, so he agreed.

---------------------------

Bai Qiuchi took the trembling middle-aged man to a room for him to sit down and untied him.

"Hello, don't be so nervous." Bai Qiuchi poured him a glass of water and put it in front of him.

"I ...... I ......" He stopped talking, and seemed to be relieved.

"In the Lower White Autumn Pool."

"White ...... Autumn Pond? That's the young ...... Teenage hero? ”

"Lift me up." Bai Qiuchi originally wanted to deny it, but when he saw a trace of hesitation flashing in this person's eyes, he didn't deny it all, so as to give him some sense of security.

"Original...... Come so. ”

"What is your name?"

"I ...... My surname is Fan, and my name is Fan Gao. ”

"So you're having any difficulties? Can you tell me about it? Bai Qiuchi's tone was calm.

"I didn't ...... No. Van Gogh explained, "I ...... I'm cowardly, and I'm ...... Bar. ”

"It's okay, you speak slowly." Bai Qiuchi said gently, "Do you know anything about the Zhang family that you can tell me?" ”

"I'm ......" Fan bowed his head.

"I believe you know the affairs of the two Zhang families, if the murderer is allowed to go unpunished, more people will be victimized, and you don't want such a tragedy to happen again, right?"

"You...... Believe...... I didn't kill ...... Person? Fan Gao heard what Bai Qiuchi meant.

Bai Qiuchi nodded.

Bai Qiuchi's intuition told him that Fan Gao should not be a bad person, and these nervousness should not be pretended.

---------------------------

Fan Gao gradually calmed down and talked about the situation.

Yesterday afternoon, Fan Gao passed by the door of Zhang's house and saw Zhang Feng happily approaching.

"Brother Fan is good!" Zhang Feng was holding a fish in one hand and a hanging of pork belly in the other, with a spring breeze on his face.

Zhang ...... Brother Zhang met ...... Did you encounter something good or good? Fan Gao asked, looking at the fish in his hand.

"Oh, this-" Zhang Feng shook the dish in his hand and smiled, "I didn't buy it, it was given by someone else." Maybe my good luck is coming, someone is going to pay off the debt, and they say that they will give me interest, so the saying 'good people have good rewards' is really true, hahaha......"

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Thank you." Zhang Feng smiled heartily, "I'll invite you to tea another day!" ”

Fan Gao nodded, made a gesture, and left.

Behind him, Zhang Feng hummed a little tune, and he shouted at the door before he entered the house: "Jing'er, come and see, what good things I have brought you!" ”

At that time, Fan Gao didn't think much about it, and was secretly happy for them.

In the evening, Fan Gao came back from his errands, and near Zhang's house, he was knocked to the ground by a person who was in a hurry on the road, and when he raised his head, the person had already run to the corner and disappeared from his field of vision.

---------------------------

"...... The next day, I, I learned about Zhang ...... Brother Zhang's family ......" Fan Gao had tears in his eyes, "No, I didn't expect it...... That's the most, the last...... Face. ”

"When did you just say you met someone in a hurry?" Bai Qiuchi asked.

"Like...... It's 戌、戌時。 ”

The time is quite consistent, and it is from the direction of Zhangjia, which is very doubtful.

"Do you remember the physical traits of that man?"

"Too ...... It's too dark, and it's ...... Knocked down. Fan Gao shook his head and said, "Only...... Just remember. It's a ...... Tall, male, male. If yes, if ...... I ...... at the time."

Fan Gao was very annoyed, if he chased after him at that time, he would have been able to see the murderer clearly, but he hated his weak character, so he thought he was unlucky.

"Okay, I understand the situation, thank you for your cooperation." Bai Qiuchi saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he interrupted his self-blame and said, "If you still remember something, you must notify me as soon as possible." ”

"I didn't ...... No problem. ”

Afraid that Fan Gao would be nervous, Bai Qiuchi personally sent him to the door. Fan Gogh thanked him again and again and left.

---------------------------

"How?" Su Can asked.

According to Fan Gao, Zhang Feng happily brought fish and meat home yesterday, saying that someone had sent them, and that the previous borrower had to repay the money and interest. Later, Fan Gao may have passed by that person and was knocked down by him, only known as a tall man. ”

"In this way, the murderer is likely to be the person who borrowed Zhang Feng's money before." Su Can analyzed, "Falsely claiming to repay the money and interest made Zhang Feng relax his vigilance, but in fact, he brutally killed their family in the fish and meat that he gave away." ”

"But according to the evaluation of the neighbors, Zhang Feng should not pose a threat, and he should not do anything to force debts......" Bai Qiuchi thought with a frown.

"What is the purpose of the murderer?" Su Can said the doubts in Bai Qiuchi's heart.

"Let's take a look at the scene again!" Bai Qiuchi proposed.

"It's fine." Su Can nodded and said.

After recent contact, Su Can has become more and more appreciative of Bai Qiuchi.

The author has something to say: Happy Qixi Festival! On this day, Bai Qiuchi and Yu Tear Rainbow couldn't see each other, it was too sadistic!
