Chapter 205: Who's Lying
To crack the sin, one must approach it and even become it. I still remember what Lin Yingxue once said to me, so this time, I decided to personally integrate into the so-called 'curse', so that the three friends in front of me, who might be the murderer, let down their guard against me, so as to do what I wanted them to do, and it is clear that I succeeded in this move.
When the three captains in front of me heard that I had a plan, they all came together and looked very interested, and I continued: "Let's look back, the consequence of these copper coins for you is that you will have nightmares at night, and in the middle of the night, you can occasionally see the thing wearing a shroud who knows whether it is a person or a ghost, of course, the most obvious thing is that no matter what you do with these copper coins, they will quietly return to your respective side the next day, right?" ”
"Nightmares are such a thing, we can understand that we have been thinking about it day and night, and we can also think that the strange person is someone deliberately pretending to scare us, but this copper coin comes back by itself, but it can't be explained in any way, so I think now we will bury the copper coin of the captain's house in a remote place, and then we will all stay at the captain's house tonight, take turns to guard, and see how the copper coin came back! If the copper coin still comes back, then this matter is definitely a curse, and we must also find help from the master as soon as possible, but if it does not come back, then this matter is problematic, and the possibility of pretending to be a ghost is extremely great! ”
When I said this, I didn't completely characterize this incident as someone pretending to be a ghost and killing someone, so the captain who was deeply involved in it also felt very reasonable, so they decided to do as I said, and the captain immediately took out the copper coin from the cabinet and went out with us to find a place to bury the copper coin first.
After going out, I walked with the captain at the back of the crowd, and then when no one was paying attention to us, I asked the captain in a low voice: "Did you go to Brother Dong's house yesterday to find Brother Dong?" ”
Hearing my words, the captain, who was originally flat, suddenly had a panicked look, and I immediately smiled: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, what was he doing when you last saw Brother Dong, and did you mention this curse again." ”
I didn't directly suspect the captain, and the captain relaxed his vigilance and said: "I did go to Dongge at dusk yesterday, and I just asked him about today, that is, the first day of the Lunar New Year, how to find out how to hand over our copper coins to the master, and he talked and laughed with me as usual, and there was nothing abnormal. ”
The more the captain said this, the more I felt heartache, because every word he said could completely lead the suspicion to him, and yesterday he went to Dong Ge to ask about this matter, so can I think that he was going to find out where Dong Ge's copper money was? As long as he knows where the copper coins of the Dong Ge family are, he can shorten the time to kill and increase the time to destroy evidence.
Maybe it was because I saw that the way I looked at him was a little abnormal, and the captain's face became more and more unnatural, and I immediately changed the topic and said, "Then have you ever heard of who Brother Dong has offended recently, or who has he had a conflict with?" ”
The captain said helplessly: "How do I know about this?" Brother Dong has only been back for a long time, how can he offend people? But I've heard of one thing, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Oh? What's the matter? "When I saw that the captain was so mysterious, I immediately leaned over and listened carefully.
The captain looked at Lin Yingxue and the others who were walking in front, and then whispered in my ear with his hand: "I heard that Brother Dong seems to have done some business with the monkey this year, and finally the two broke up unhappily because of the failure of the business. ”
After the captain finished speaking, he looked at the monkey and said, "This is all my guess, as for whether it is true or not, I don't know, after all, I don't want to doubt my brother." ”
Listening to the captain's news, I suddenly felt a little confused, I don't know if the news is true or not, if it is true, then the monkey also has a motive to kill, if it is fake, then the captain is also exculpating himself, but in order to exonerate himself, he actually imposed the crime on another brother, which made me completely chilled, it turned out that for so many years, I looked at the wrong captain.
We kept walking forward, and soon, we once again came to the edge of the woods where we used to hunt for treasures, the reason why we chose to bury the copper coin here is to reassure our friends, so that the copper coin comes from wherever it comes, where it goes, and the second is that it is far away from the captain's house, what I need is this kind of long-distance fishing, if the distance to bury the copper coin is too close, maybe the real murderer will not dare to dig out the copper coin under our noses.
The captain took it upon himself under a tree at the edge of the woods, and marked it so that we wouldn't find it when we came back to look for it, but while the captain was burying the copper coin, the monkey called me aside, as if there was something to say to me in front of others.
The monkey and I walked to a secluded place, lit a cigarette each, and asked, "Did you call me over to say something?" ”
The monkey's eyes were a little confused at the moment, as if he was thinking about something, and when he heard my words, he reacted, and first hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Ji Wen, I know that you are now a policeman, Brother Dong's death is very strange, I don't believe in any curse at all, someone must have killed him!" In any case, you have to find the murderer who killed him for Dong Ge and avenge him! ”
The monkey was clearly saying something, and I immediately asked, "Do you know any clues?" ”
The monkey nodded slightly, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't know what you think now, but the person I suspect the most right now is the captain!" Because just yesterday evening, I was going to go to Dongge's house to get mahjong to play with my family, but when I arrived at Dongge's door, I saw that the captain was arguing fiercely with Dongge about something, so it was almost on the verge of doing it, and finally Dongge no longer paid attention to the captain, turned around and returned to the room angrily, and the captain also slammed the door and left Dongge's home. ”
"At that time, although I don't know why they quarreled, but I didn't bother Brother Dong again, but when we found Brother Dong's body last night, the captain pretended that nothing had happened, lying on Brother Dong's body and crying like the real thing, isn't this very suspicious? I hate to believe it, but it's true! Ji Wen, I hope you can consider this factor, even if it is not Brother Dong who was killed by the captain, you can clear his suspicions. ”
After the monkey said this, I was stunned on the spot! What's going on? The captain said that the monkey and Dong Ge had a conflict, but the monkey said that Dong Ge and the captain also had a conflict, and the two of them said this almost at the same time, what was going on?
If they had said this some time apart, I wouldn't have doubted that what they said was true or false, but now I can be sure that at least one of the two lied! It's just that I don't know who lied for the time being! Now it seems that I can't lock the suspicion only on the captain alone, the monkey and the little fat who seem to be not suspicious, also have to be taken into account, according to my experience in solving cases in the past, some people who seem to be the most unlikely murderers are often the real murderers in the end.
After I finished talking to the monkey, I returned to the edge of the woods, and the captain had already buried the copper coin, and I did not debunk what the two of them had said to me, but silently remembered it in my heart, and followed them on the road to the captain's house.
In fact, the reason why I chose to only bury the copper coins of the captain's house is because I want to stay at the captain's house for the rest of the time to see if there are any clues I missed, or to see something from the captain, in short, everything is within my expectation now, it depends on who can show the fox's tail first!
As I walked, my mobile phone rang suddenly, and when I took it out, I saw that it was an unfamiliar number in Sichuan, so I pressed the answer button, but who knew that Xiaomei's familiar voice came from inside.
"You really didn't change the number, I've always stored this number in my phone, I tried to call it today, and I actually got through, hehe."
Xiaomei said to me very playfully, but I felt very inexplicable, Mom, I haven't seen you call me for many years, why are you so attentive to me all of a sudden?
"What's the matter?"
"Can't I call you if it's okay? The forensic doctor here just asked me to tell you that no suspicious fingerprints were found on the body, and they don't have your contact information, so let me call you to let you know. ”
In fact, I have already guessed this kind of thing, after all, today's society is not more than ten years ago, and now everyone knows what fingerprints are all about, and when they commit crimes, they will naturally pay special attention to this, so the chance of finding the murderer through fingerprints is almost minimal.
Before I could continue to speak, Xiaomei suddenly said, "By the way, I haven't seen each other for so many years, are you free now?" How about we have a meal together? ”
"I'm really sorry, I'm busy solving the case right now, let's do it another day." After speaking, without waiting for Xiaomei to continue to say anything, I hung up the phone, what kind of joke, knowing that I am a police officer and a 'leader', I suddenly asked me to have dinner with me, what did you do earlier? Now I realize how lucky I was to not be with Xiaomei in the first place, such a realistic woman, the devil knows what will happen after we are together.
After a while, we returned to the captain's house again, during which my mobile phone seemed to come to a text message, and I didn't bother to look at it, after entering the captain's house, we walked directly to the captain's bedroom, wanting to continue drinking and chatting, but when we entered the captain's room, we were shocked to find that the copper coin that we buried at the edge of the woods actually appeared on the captain's pillow silently again!
