Chapter 391: Return the money
While smoking, I recalled the state I was in when I faced these two cases, although I was still very young at the time, and I didn't notice many details that I should have noticed a long time ago, but I have to say that in the end, I still found the decisive key evidence and solved the two cases with difficulty.
If it weren't for the fact that I happened to meet the boss Zhang Peng's mahjong friends, I knew that the place where they recently played mahjong was exactly the same as the place where several cases occurred, and I guessed the boss Zhang Peng's motive for killing, I would never have solved the case so quickly.
In the second case of corpse fraud, I also found out that the murderer Zhao Tiezhu lied, and found that everyone related to that case had the idea of leaving Black Mountain Village, and I learned that the murderer was Zhao Tiezhu.
Although those two cases are vivid, if they coincide with the two murder cases in front of me now, many problems will arise, because I can no longer follow the previous train of thought to think about these two cases, whether it is the motive or the means, the murderer should be hidden perfectly, so the two murders in front of me can be solved as a new case.
After having a preliminary plan in my heart, I extinguished the cigarette butt, got up and prepared to go out to ask the village chief about a few things, Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue are going, I said let Bai Longfei keep an eye here first, help me record all the information of those bold people last night, and by the way, see if I can ask anything among these people at the scene, and then walked towards the outside of the courtyard with Lin Yingxue.
"What are you recording about those bold people? Do you think the murderer is among several of them? As we walked, Lin Yingxue asked me.
Before I could answer her question, I found that the village chief who was still standing there outside the courtyard to explain the incident to us was gone, and after some inquiry, I learned that the village chief had gone back, and the surrounding villagers were very unaccustomed to the village chief's timid and fearful style, and had begun to discuss and prepare for a new village chief.
Since the village chief was not here, we had to go to his house to look for him, and on the way I replied: "I don't think eight or nine are far from ten, even if there is no real murderer in that group, at least one person has some kind of relationship with the real murderer!" If you think about it, the deceased in the two cases died in a heartfelt way, and deliberately imitated the two previous cases to prove that the murderer was the same person or the same group, and if he wanted to connect the two cases, then the body of the deceased Zhao Fugui, the first person who was heartbroken, was a very key prop! Only by making use of Zhao Fugui's corpse can the necessary conditions for replicating the 'corpse fraud case' be completed! ”
Judging from what I know now, the idea of carrying the body of the first deceased Zhao Fugui to the Land Temple was conceived by those bold people, and they ostensibly said that they wanted to let the aura of the Land Temple suppress the evil energy on the corpse, but the real reason for this is that the murderer wanted to put the corpse in a place where no one noticed, so that he could use the corpse, an important prop, on the body of the second deceased unconsciously!
I have seen the bodies of the two deceased just now, the age of the deceased is forty or fifty years old, but the body is not very strong, that is, not very heavy, I believe that except for women, those brave villagers can have the ability to move the corpse.
"Then according to what you say, we just need to call those bold people together and interrogate them, and then we can know everything?"
This time I didn't deny it, nodded and said: "You are right, this is indeed the most effective method, as long as the person's psychological quality is not very passable, he will definitely be able to reveal a lot of flaws, even if he is not the murderer, he can find the information of the real murderer from him." ”
"Then what are we going to do with the village chief? Just go back and interrogate it. Lin Yingxue asked puzzled.
"I went to the village chief for two purposes, the first is to confirm from his mouth, from yesterday to today, there are no other outsiders who have come to this Zhaojia Village, and I also want to know from the village chief where the courier company that sent the express to Zhao Fugui's family is, I always feel that the person who sent the express should not be a real courier."
"Of course, the most important point, I'm going to check the dash cam, we've been in Zhaojia Village for so long, I'm afraid that the person wearing the demon mask has sneaked in, I hope the dash cam can shoot some details for us."
Soon we arrived at the village chief's house, and at this time the village chief seemed to be discussing something with his daughter-in-law, and immediately became a little nervous when he saw us enter.
"Why do you have such an expression?"
After I entered the house, I asked with some confusion, and the village chief looked at me with a weak heart and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, it's just that those villagers talked about me just now, it seems that my position as the village chief can't be kept, what are you doing here?" Anything else to ask? ”
"Zhao Fugui received a courier before he died, do you know where this courier company is?"
I still don't believe in the village chief, but I can't stop asking the question I want to ask because of this matter, the village chief heard my question, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I haven't heard of the express company, I guess it's in another larger village, right?" We don't have the Internet in Zhaojia Village, and there should be no one to buy things online, and it's been many years, and I haven't heard of any courier company sending things to us, so I don't know how to answer you. ”
The village chief's answer was expected by me, so I was not surprised by anything, and continued to ask, "So in the time since last night until now, have there been any other outsiders who have been to the village except for a few of us?" ”
"That's gone, the village usually has outsiders, and the villagers will definitely come to me first, and let me decide if I want the outsiders to stay, so far only the three of you have come. If you want to say some time ago, there were often people who came to visit. ”
I don't know why, when the village chief spoke, I always felt that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding my eyes, and I said in my heart that there might be something wrong with the village chief, and I had to investigate secretly when I went back.
After asking the question I was going to ask, we were ready to go out to see the contents of the dashcam, but before we could get out of the room, the village chief chased him out and said: "That, I'm really sorry, this kind of thing happened in the village recently, the police have contacted me just now, saying that they will send someone to investigate tomorrow at the latest, and that this is their jurisdiction, and you are not allowed to interfere, so I think you should go, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings, this is the money you gave me in the morning, I'll return it to you now. ”
As the village chief spoke, he took out the three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to me, I looked at him with some wonder and said, "You really don't plan to earn this money?" ”
"Of course, the more money, the better, but if I get into trouble with this little money, it will be a little unworthy, our police here heard that other police officers are interfering in this case, and they already sound very unhappy from the tone, so I think you should leave quickly, if you offend those policemen, it will not be good for them to vent their anger on our Zhaojia Village."
I stared at the village chief with a sneer, put the three hundred yuan in my pocket, and said: "But now that our car is broken, it is estimated that we will be able to leave tomorrow at the earliest, you can't let us walk away, right?" ”
"Then you can do it yourself, try to fix your car as soon as possible, if it is really too late today, you can stay at my house for the time being, but in any case you must leave before the police arrive tomorrow, I hope you will not embarrass our little village."
"Don't worry, we won't embarrass you, but if you're going to live here today, should you pay for the room first?"
The village chief waved his hand generously and smiled: "No, it's not much, it's not easy, it's not easy for you to be a policeman, if you can't go back today, you can live here for free with me." ”
After the village chief finished speaking, he happily hummed a little song and turned his head back to his home, and after the village chief left, Lin Yingxue asked in wonder: "Why don't the police here want us to come in?" Could it be that they already knew that the two of us were here, and they were afraid that Chief Bai would blame them, so they let us leave as soon as possible? ”
I sneered, "No, the person who wants us to leave is not the local police, but this village chief!" Don't you notice that this village chief is a little weird? ”
"It's a little weird indeed, when we came in the morning, we took out three hundred dollars to him, and he hid it as if he had gotten a treasure, and now he suddenly returned the money to us, and behaved so generously, the contrast between before and after is really a bit big! Ji Wen, have you already guessed something? ”
"I can't say that I guessed anything, because this matter is already obvious, the village chief must have received a lot of foreign money before we came here just now, so he will not care about this mere three hundred yuan, it seems that everything is similar to what I imagined, we all imagined that Qi Qi is too mythical, in fact, he is not so terrifying at all, this case has been solved!"
