Chapter 306: Investigation of the case
Mother Lin saw that the girl she had missed for many days was back, and immediately cut a piece of bacon to cook vegetables, Lin Bai shouted that Lin Xi's return could be regarded as improving the food, otherwise he would become a sheep eating grass.
Several people had a full meal and lay on the chairs to bask in the sun, Lin Bai and Lin Shi were silent for a long time, but suddenly asked in the same voice: "Isn't Zhao Xiaoyue coming back?" ”
Lin Xi smiled lightly, shook the chair a few times, enjoying the tranquility that had not been seen for many days, and said after a while: "This is not her home, she will have to go back to her parents sooner or later." ”
Lin Shi didn't argue anything when he heard this, got up and entered the house, only Lin Bai muttered a vague word, which made people unable to hear clearly.
A few days later, a peasant went to dig the field with a hoe, but he saw something standing upside down under the field, and he thought to himself who had planted the flagpole there, but the closer he got to it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and when he reached the edge of the field, he suddenly screamed, and fell to the ground in fright.
The scene he saw was strange and terrifying, it was a child, stiffly inserted into the field, and the whole person was upside down into a humanoid benchmark.
There was such a big event in the village, but Father Lin went to the town to report his work, but the villagers found Father Lin but was not there, Mother Lin was in a hurry, Lin Xi vaguely heard that it was a homicide case, and said that he would go and see it first.
Where can Mother Lin rest assured that a girl in Linxi will go to her house, and she rushed Lin Bai, who didn't go to work, and Lin Nan went to inquire about the situation first, and she went to the team to call Father Lin.
Lin Bai was extremely reluctant to see the corpse, and before he went, he had already said to Lin Xi in advance: "I'm most afraid of seeing people's corpses, you took the initiative to say that you wanted to come, don't let me see it later, I'll just stand next to me." ”
If Zhao Xiaoyue was here, he would definitely have to give him a blank look, but Lin Xi didn't say anything, and followed the villagers who led the way to the top of Tiankan. The child's father was holding the child and crying, Lin Xi saw that the child's feet were clean, but his face was full of mud, and the villagers saw it and explained: "Just now the child's father was scooping manure and letting the child go to the side to play. ”
It was a five-year-old boy with a young face, and he should have had a big smile, but now it was all covered in mud, and he lay lifeless in his father's arms.
Lin Bai secretly glanced at it, and then turned around, the child's death was a little more miserable.
"Did you call the police?"
The villager nodded: "I reported it, and said that the police would be dispatched immediately." ”
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, as soon as the police inspector in the town heard that there was a homicide case, he immediately sent someone down, and the police inspector looked at a bunch of people surrounding the corpse, and immediately dispersed: "Get out of the way of three meters, we have to investigate and collect evidence." ”
Lin Xi turned around when he heard the familiar voice, Cheng Youjian was also stunned in a blink of an eye, he didn't expect to see him again here, but this is not the place to talk, he expelled Lin Xi and his party as well, put the child's body on the ground, and covered it with a white cloth.
The forensic doctor came to collect evidence on the footprints and other things on the side of the field, but the villagers did not have a sense of protection at the scene, and the footprints were relatively chaotic, and it was difficult to distinguish the footprints of the murderer.
Based on the current degree of stiffness of the corpse, the medical examiner calculated that the child died one to two hours before the death, and the rest could only be found after returning for an autopsy.
Cheng Youjian pulled a string to surround the scene, took a cigarette and walked in front of Lin Xi and said, "The little girl is quite fateful, but I didn't expect us to come to the same place." ”
He couldn't forget what Lin Xi said to him before he got out of the car these days, how did this girl know that the other party would let people besiege him in the east, which made him very curious.
Lin Bai looked at Lin Xi puzzled: "When did you meet the policeman?" ”
"I met on the train," Lin Xi saw that Cheng Youjian seemed to have something to ask her, but she didn't want to answer an unanswerable question in front of so many people, she pointed to the child's father and said, "The police officer should not take care of one thing or the other, and do the right thing first." ”
Cheng Youjian glanced at his father who was crying bitterly, then turned his head to look at Lin Xi and Lin Nandao: "I will come to you again." ”
Lin Bai touched his head: "It seems that you guys are quite familiar." ”
Listening to Lin Bai's words, Lin Xi could only rejoice that it was Lin Shi who had come fortunately, otherwise he would definitely be suspicious when he saw this phenomenon.
Cheng Youjian went to ask his father's confession, his name is Tian Fu, the child's name is Tian Zhenzhen, he did leave the child for about an hour, and he didn't see the child when he turned around in the middle, and thought that he had run away again, so he didn't look for it, but when he looked again, he found that the child had been planted in the field.
Cheng Youjian pondered, according to the degree of the child's corpse stiffness and the time of Tian Fu's dictation, the child's death time was about two o'clock at noon, there were not many people here at that time, and there were no witnesses to the whole thing, Tian Fu was not far from the child, but he didn't hear the child's cry for help, it was very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime.
Cheng Youjian thought about it and decided to check Tian Fu's social network first to see if he had any enemies recently.
Lin Xi stood here and wrote down everything in the venue, and was about to go home, although Lin Bai was afraid to see the corpse, he was curious about the case itself: "That's it?" I didn't go to find out who the murderer was, it was only two or three hours, and the murderer couldn't run far, maybe it was around here. ”
Lin Xi looked around at a group of onlookers, old and young, with different expressions, although their faces were written ordinary, but they couldn't hide any dark thoughts in their hearts, she said softly: "Maybe he didn't run, just here." ”
Lin Bai was startled and began to look at the people here with all the suspicions, but the murderer would not have a label on him, and they themselves could not find out who the murderer was.
Lin Xi returned to the Lin family and started a hexagram, the child was on the tenth day of the fourth month of the year of the dog, and it was deduced that the Qiangua was the original hexagram, and the Zhen hexagram was the change hexagram.
Lin Nan walked over and looked at the trigram, the four lines inside had changed, the four lines of the hexagram were the mud, which means that the soil was shaken down by thunder, and he remembered the mud on the boy's face.
Father Lin figured out the case at this time and went home, shouting at Lin Xi's porter: "Six girls, Officer Cheng is here." ”
Lin Xi was stunned, but he didn't expect Cheng Youjian to come to the door, Lin Nan got up and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”
Lin Nan introduced Cheng Youjian into the door, Cheng Youjian was a straightforward person, came in and looked at the copper coin in Lin Xi's hand and asked, "Little girl, are you a feng shui master?" ”
Lin Xi smiled and pointed to the chair in front of him for Cheng Youjian to sit down, and when Cheng Youjian sat down, she leaned her face close to him and said slowly: "My parents don't know about this yet, Officer Cheng should be able to keep it a secret." ”
Saying this is admitting, Cheng Youjian smiled: "What I can protect the most is secrets." ”
He also knew a little bit about feng shui, so he could see at a glance that Lin Xi was doing this business, and he could also see at a glance that the lookers on the train at that time were playing tricks, but he still sighed: "A young man is a talent, and he became a feng shui master at such a young age." ”
After he finished speaking, he said to Lin Xi's copper coin: "Didn't you make a hexagram just now?" If I'm not mistaken, it's for the sake of that kid. I don't have a clue about the clues now, you come and tell me about this hexagram, I'll see if I can find any clues. ”
Lin Xi explained the hexagram he had just calculated: "The change hexagram is a shock hexagram, and the hexagram is the yang hexagram in the yin position, which means that the guest will directly seek his own interests, which also indicates that the interests of the host party are harmed." ”
Cheng Youjian pondered: "You mean to say that there is a conflict of interests in this case?" ”
Seeing Lin Xi nodded, Cheng Youjian touched his chin and said, "But the deceased is just a five-year-old boy, who will have interests with him." ”
"The hexagram will only reveal part of the real phenomenon, but it will not directly explain the result, and the answer still needs to be found by Officer Cheng himself."
Lin Xi looked at Cheng Youjian for the first time, and knew that he was an upright and kind person, whether it was his face with an open hall and a towering nose, or what he did afterwards, it all proved that this person had a good heart and extraordinary ability. So at that time, Lin Xi pinched him and helped him get through that catastrophe. Maybe it's to solve this case.
In the adult world, they pay attention to how much money they make today, and being able to raise a few people to eat will arouse their interest more than paying attention to who a child is playing with today.
However, if you look at the hexagram explained by Lin Xi, it proves that the case has no clue here.
Although it is possible that an acquaintance committed the crime, they inquired about the confessions around Tian Fu, and found no suspicious people, so they did not have the opportunity to kill a child inexplicably.
Cheng Youjian decided to go to the scene and take another walk, maybe he could find something that he had overlooked in the afternoon.
At this time, it was already late at night, except for the barking of frogs and the barking of dogs from the village, there was no sound on the field, and the surrounding environment was quiet, and the night was deep, with a bit of a terrible meaning. Cheng Youjian took out his flashlight to illuminate the front, got into the enclosed scene, and squatted on the ridge to watch the position where the child was planted.
He compared left and right, imagining how to make a five-year-old child get straight into this, he put the flashlight in his mouth, propped his hands on the ridge, looked at the mud in front of him, and put his head down little by little.
Cheng Youjian bent his back, and his whole body went down, but he didn't expect that his hand slipped, and the flashlight in his mouth fell down.
Cheng Youjian reluctantly pulled some seedlings and turned around, stabilized his mind and picked up the flashlight in the field.
He wiped the mud on the flashlight with his hand, but he touched a small hard object, Cheng Youjian didn't care about the mess, picked up his clothes and wiped the thing, and under the flashlight it looked like a small black wavy hairpin.
