Chapter 47: A Blade Seals the Throat

When he came to the place where the accident happened, Xu Ran turned on the flashlight and shone it in the direction pointed by the middle-aged uncle.

His car was parked on the right side of the road, and there were a lot of weeds around, Xu Ran looked at the light, and saw a pool of red blood on the grass, and smelled a fishy smell from a distance.

Xu Ran had just walked a few steps when he saw the middle-aged uncle beside him stunned in place, with no intention of moving forward.

So I immediately thought about it, the last thing a timid person like this wants to see is a dead person. So he greeted him, and Xu Ran walked over by himself.

It wasn't far from the corpse, and Xu Ran didn't take a few steps to come to it.

Under the light, there was a pool of red blood, bright red and glowing with red reflections, and according to the depth of color, the time of death should be less than ten minutes.

Then Xu Ran saw the appearance of this person, he had a well-defined face, gray hair, and his age should be between fifty and sixty years old, which is estimated to be about the same as the uncle behind him. But others were thin, skinny, and had very white skin, as if they had been malnourished for a long time.

Xu Ran greeted the middle-aged uncle behind him and asked him if he knew the deceased in front of him.

But it's strange that after the middle-aged uncle said he didn't know, Xu Ran fell into deep thought.

The deceased in front of him should have died of excessive blood loss, and outside his body, except for the mark of a sharp blade on his neck, Xu Ran did not see any wounds in other parts, at least before he touched the corpse, he did not see other wounds.

After taking a look at the deceased's whole body, Xu Ran finally focused on the deceased's neck, the wound was very thin, as if it had been cut with a thin blade, and from the straight wound, it was inferred that the deceased should have died of blood loss after being cut by the murderer's throat. Looking at his methods, the murderer's killing methods are very mature, without any delay, he should have killed more than one person, and he is likely to be a professional killer.

But why did he die in such a place, and he happened to be met by a middle-aged uncle, and why did the middle-aged uncle say that he didn't kill anyone, does this have anything to do with him, did the murderer follow him, or ......

Thinking of this, he moved his gaze to the middle-aged man behind him, why would it be so coincidental to meet him in such a place.

Could it all be a coincidence?

After a while, Wei Yan's loud voice broke Xu Ran's train of thought. He shouted a few meters behind Xu Ran.

"Lao Xu! What's the situation, is there any salvation for people? ”

Xu Ran said no, then turned around and came to the middle-aged uncle, and asked him a few questions before the police arrived.

Wei Yan came to Xu Ran with the light on, and curiously glanced not far away, wanting to go over to see the situation, but he didn't dare to go alone, so he could only stand in front of Xu Ran and look at him with blinking.

Xu Ran said impatiently: "If you want to go, you go by yourself, I have a few questions I want to ask this uncle." ”

Hearing Xu Ran say no, Wei Yan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, "Actually, I just want to satisfy my curiosity." ”

Xu Ran didn't have time to pay attention to him, came to the middle-aged uncle, and asked him directly: "Now the three of us are all suspects, and you are the first person to find the deceased, and the degree of suspicion is greater than ours, the police must suspect you first, if you want us to help you, I hope you can answer me truthfully a few questions." ”

The middle-aged uncle nodded, not knowing what question Xu Ran was going to ask him.

Xu Ran asked: "Why did you appear on this road tonight, you know that this road is special, and it is very likely that your life is in danger, but you still dare to drive this road overnight, why is this?" ”

Xu Ran's words were a bit sharp, and the middle-aged uncle hesitated a few times before he said: "I am actually a worker who helps the boss pull goods, and the reason why I took the risk to do this is just to support my family." ”

"Pulling goods?" Xu Ran snorted coldly, "Don't tarnish that profession, if I'm not mistaken, in fact, you are a smuggler, and the reason why you are willing to take risks is not for that rich bonus in the final analysis." ”

After hearing Xu Ran's words, the middle-aged uncle's face instantly turned pale. He looked at Xu Ran in surprise

"How do you know?"

Xu Ran smiled coldly: "I saw that inside your tire, there are some smuggled electronic products wrapped in them." ”

The middle-aged uncle retorted wordlessly: "It turns out that you have already seen it." ”

Xu Ran said: "So you'd better answer my questions truthfully, but don't worry, we're not police, just ask something that is beneficial to you." ”

The middle-aged uncle nodded, as if he was completely relieved: "You ask!" ”

Seeing that the middle-aged uncle was so straightforward, Xu Ran asked, "Why did you park in that kind of place, and you happened to find the deceased." ”

I saw the middle-aged uncle say without thinking: "My car suddenly broke down, and as soon as I got out of the car to check the situation, I saw a person lying in the distance, so I took a flashlight and shone it, and found that the person was gushing blood in his throat, and he had been out of breath for a minute or two." At that time, my soul was almost scared away, although I was a smuggler, but I really didn't do anything unreasonable, I did this business just to eat, if I knew that there would be this stubble tonight, I promised not to pull this batch of goods. ”

"Then after you found the deceased, did you see anyone else lingering around?" Xu Ran asked again.

The middle-aged uncle shook his head, suddenly shrunk his neck, and turned his head to look at the darkness behind him.

"I always feel that there is a pair of eyes staring at us behind me, and it was the same before, the reason why I didn't wait for you is because I am afraid of being targeted by these eyes."

Wei Yan was originally listening with great interest, but as soon as he heard this strange thing, he couldn't help but interject: "Eyes? When did you start feeling this way? ”

The middle-aged uncle said: "After I met you, I have this feeling, I don't know if you have the feeling of being targeted." ”

Truth be told, neither of them felt that way.

Hearing his words, Xu Ran and Wei Yan glanced at each other at the same time.

It's very likely that this incident is aimed at them.

"What to do now, the police will be there in a moment." Wei Yan asked Xu Ran.

Xu Ran said slowly: "Answer truthfully"

Wei Yan looked at the middle-aged uncle again: "What about him?" ”

Xu Ran didn't answer, he didn't know this middle-aged uncle at all, so there was no need to get into trouble.

But at this moment, Xu Ran never expected that the middle-aged uncle would actually kneel on the ground and help him.

He said with a hint of crying: "Two little brothers, I know that what I did before was not authentic, but no one dares to meet 100% of the living people on this highway." So I'm begging you, help me, I really didn't kill anyone. ”

Xu Ran's eyes looked at the middle-aged uncle like a sharp knife: "You actually know him." ”

The middle-aged uncle knelt on the ground and said, "I've only met once or twice, and one of them was by chance to see his profile picture on the news." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ran suddenly thought that the avatar of the wanted criminal was often played in the news, so he asked him

"He's a wanted man?" Xu Ran asked.

The middle-aged uncle nodded and said, "He is a famous drug lord in the Yungui area, called Ma Qiang." ”

"Oh! If a drug dealer can die here, it means that he has no use value. Wei Yan said with deep meaning.

Xu Ran's eyes suddenly became deeper: "It seems that this murder case was not improvised, but a deliberate murder." ”

After speaking, he helped the middle-aged uncle up.

"If you have something to say, we didn't say we wouldn't help you." Speaking of this, the middle-aged uncle's face suddenly showed a trace of joy. But then I saw Xu Ran and said: "But under the premise, you didn't lie to us." ”
