Chapter 4: The Murderer Is Someone Else
"Comrade policeman, to be honest, my heart is much more relaxed now, my son was killed by me, and it has nothing to do with the old man, I hope you can let him go."
"The specific situation will not be decided until I return to the bureau, so you can come with me."
Wearing handcuffs, the second elder's hair turned even grayer, and there was no way to judge who was right and who was wrong. At the legal level, two elders commit crimes, one is the principal offender and the other is an accessory. But on a moral level, I don't think anyone is qualified to judge them, right?
I rubbed my swollen temples, and a cigarette happened to be handed over to me, and I took it and took a sharp puff. The spicy nicotine entered his throat, and then he felt that the tense nerves were soothed a little, and he couldn't help but spit and complained: "This is really not a human thing!" ”
"Yes, I have raised it for a lifetime, but I have turned against it." The policeman next to me didn't understand what I meant, and looked at the back of the second elder with a look of pity.
"Alright, don't be sentimental, hurry up and get to work!" I tapped the man on the shoulder and pointed to the kitchen at the back of the house.
At this time, the phone rang, it was the director of the police station who called, and he also caught Gao Wangming, who confessed to his murder.
There are still many doubts about this case, and there are also many things that I don't understand, but the two main culprits have pleaded guilty, and then they will be handed over to the interrogation department, and it is not under my control.
I didn't go to the kitchen, I was afraid of seeing that scene again, and there is a good saying that there are more murder cases, and there is no difference between a police officer and a criminal.
"Team Shao, how come there are women's things here?" A police officer called out to me.
"Just take it back and hand it over to the forensic department, I'll go out and breathe." My head hurt more and more, and I walked out with my hands on the door frame, and I took a deep breath, the sun piercing me from opening my eyes.
Ouyang Qian chased after him from behind and asked with concern, "Team Shao, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, just rest for a while." I found a stone pier at the door and sat down until the site was cleaned up.
When I returned to the bureau, the director commended me, handed over the prisoner to the interrogation section, and let us go home for the Chinese New Year.
Driving on the road, I kept recalling this case in my mind, and I always felt that something was wrong. It is said that the tiger poison does not eat children, let alone destroy the corpse, the two old men looked blank, not so much because their hearts were like ashes, but that they had made a good decision.
If they were ready to be arrested, why did they stage the previous play, and why did it happen that she bought dumplings so coincidentally, and the dumpling seller was the murderer?
"Squeak......" I slammed on the brakes, and when I wandered, I almost knocked down a pedestrian.
Sighing, restarting and returning home, my parents have already wrapped dumplings, waiting for the New Year's firecrackers to sound, and go down to the pot to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
There was still flour on the table, probably unnoticed, and the floor was all over the place. On the other side, a cutting board sits on the coffee table, densely covered with tiny knife marks.
The scene of the vendor's house flashed through my mind, with no cutting boards, no flour, and no tools for making dumplings.
"By the way, I finally remembered what the problem was!" My eyes widened, I was short of breath, shouted at my mom that there was something going on, and ran out.
When I got to the door, I started the car and called the director to ask him about the progress of the interrogation.
"Oh, Xiao Shao, you really made a meritorious contribution this time. The prisoners in these two cases confessed to their crimes, and that night their psychological defenses collapsed and confessed everything. "The director kept praising me, but my heart seemed to be frozen.
If they wasted so many twists and turns, it was to dispose of the corpses. Why did he go to the police station and not defend himself, so what was the purpose of concealing the facts of the crime before?
Of course, there are reasons why the prisoner's heart is like ashes, but there are many processes to go through in the trial of a murder case, how can it be rushed to end in one night?
The combination of these doubts makes me wonder if these two cases are really as simple as we see. From the beginning of the case to the end of the case, it took only a dozen hours, and then the case was closed, adding up to only fifteen or sixteen hours.
Compared with previous murder cases, these two cases have progressed too quickly.
Thinking about it, the car had already started, and after turning a corner, it drove towards the police station. At the same time, I called Ouyang Qian and asked her to go to the police station immediately and remember to bring the case information.
Ouyang Qian was a little reluctant, but she still agreed, and said, "Okay, Team Shao, you are the boss, you have the right word." But you didn't eat the reunion dinner this time, and you have to take full responsibility. ”
She gritted her teeth, word by word, I could only smile bitterly and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will invite you to eat to make up for it after the year." ”
"I'm going to have a big meal!" Ouyang Qian added.
"Good!" I should come down.
Half an hour later, I arrived at the door of the police station, where Ouyang Qian was already waiting. Her face was flushed from the cold, and she was wearing a white down jacket, and the face on the white brim fluttered in the wind.
She kept rubbing her hands and feet, shouting that she was cold to death, and ran to the car quickly, and then pulled the car door and got into the car.
She exhaled heavily, put her hand on her face, with tears in her eyes, and said with hatred in her tone: "Shao Tianming, you wait, this meal will definitely make you bleed!" ”
"Is the key here, let's go back to the scene of the crime." I deliberately changed the subject.
When it came to work, Ouyang Qian didn't make a fuss, took out the information of the two cases from her bag, and attached the key to the crime scene.
The road to the county seat is very difficult to walk, when we arrived, the sky was already dark, the vegetable market was deserted, only a few scattered stalls were still on display.
I parked in front of the vegetable market and looked at the traces of a car wheel next to it, which is only possible when it is parked all year round.
The same information I got was that King Gao had been selling dumplings here for two years. Think about it from another perspective, if I were a murderer, would I risk selling human flesh to passers-by?
From his murder, to the crushing of corpses, to making dumplings, and recalling his expression and actions of calling the old man in the surveillance video, he is an extremely calm and intelligent person.
How could such a person behave so irrationally?
There are only two possibilities for things, one is that he is a pervert, and only in this way can he feel pleasure in his heart. The other is that he didn't kill people at all, and he didn't know anything about it! That's why he did something that contradicted his IQ.
Sherlock Holmes once said in the detective collection that if all impossible factors are excluded, the remaining answer, even if it is unbelievable, is the only truth.
