Chapter Seventy-Two: Accidental Death
But Mengling seemed to have seen through my little emotions, looked at me gently, smiled dotingly, and said, my husband still hasn't changed in his two lives, and he is still so willing to be jealous, hehe.
I blushed a little and felt a little embarrassed, but I didn't deny it, after all, what Meng Ling said was true. Saying goodbye to Mengling and saying good night, I also closed my eyelids and entered the dream. After a busy day, I hardly had any distractions, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Another morning, when I had breakfast, I was the last to come out, and Mengling and I walked out of the house in a daze, and I found that the three people who were sitting in the hall eating saw me and Mengling, and their faces turned red involuntarily.
Especially Senior Sister Mumu, she is a person who can't hide things psychologically, and after saying hello happily to me and Mengling, she desperately tried to pretend that nothing happened, but she hurriedly knocked over the water in the cup.
"I'm so tired...... Xiao Han, can you feed me? Meng Ling yawned, put her little face on the table, looked at me and squinted and smiled, like a little kitten.
I sighed helplessly and said Aren't you a ghost, it's okay if you don't have to eat. I don't think there's anything strange about me and Mengling's appearance, it's just a normal conversation.
However, the three of them looked at me and Meng Ling with a strange look, especially Dongzi, who winked at me with a wicked smile on his face. I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered the ridiculous thing I had done last night, and I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Today's task is also to be carried out separately, and the money earned from the live broadcast is enough for us to buy equipment, so Dongzi and Lin went to buy equipment together, Senior Sister Mu Mu is going to go to the judicial appraisal center, and I am going to Captain Stone Hammer to ask about the progress of the case.
After breakfast, when I was about to leave, Dongzi patted me on the shoulder, looked at me ambiguously and said, brother, I understand you, but you have to pay attention to your health, don't be too tired, don't be too many times, after all, the coming day is long.
I slapped Dongzi's hand away in disgust, and said that it is not what you think at all, you kid don't give me nonsense. I didn't bother to talk to the kid, so I went over to Lynn and asked her how long it would take to buy the equipment.
As soon as I said this, Lynn took two steps back and gave me a cold look, as if she was deliberately trying to distance herself from me.
"Uh...... Beautiful jade? What happened to you? ”
"It's nothing, I'm just clean." Lin sneered and said.
I sniffed my hand a little embarrassed, and thought it didn't smell like anything. At this time, Mengling suddenly inserted a horizontal bar, hugged my arm affectionately, and said with a happy smile, That's really a coincidence, I also have the same cleanliness habit - Xiao Hang has the smell of other fox spirits, and I can't stand it.
Lin smiled, who the fox spirit is still uncertain. Meng Ling smiled indifferently and said that let's take a good look. Lin snorted coldly and whispered Just take a look, I'm afraid I can't compete with you.
In this way, the smell of gunpowder in today's parting is much stronger than usual, and my position is the most embarrassing. After that, let's find a chance to explain to Lin, Mengling likes to mess around, and as the captain of this team, I can't keep messing around with her.
I packed up, and when I was ready, I took my things and headed to Captain Stonehammer. We had contacted in advance to meet at St. Lan's private high school, and there seemed to be an update on the case from Captain Stonehammer.
An hour later, I arrived at St. Lan's Private High School, where Captain Stonehammer was standing near the doorway waiting for me. HE WAS WEARING A BROWN POLO SHIRT, A GRAY SUIT PANTS UNDERNEATH, A POT-BELLIED POOP, AND A CIGARETTE BETWEEN HIS STUBBY FINGERS.
I also sighed when I looked at his dress, if I didn't know that Shi Hammer was a criminal police captain, otherwise this appearance would be no different from ordinary middle-aged and elderly people. It's not domineering at all.
Seeing that I had arrived, Captain Stone Hammer didn't say nonsense, and told me to hurry up and get in the car, and then set off in my own drive. While wearing my seat belt, I looked at Captain Stone Hammer who was a little anxious, and I couldn't help but ask him suspiciously, why are you in such a hurry? Is something wrong?
Shi Hammer glanced at me, took the last puff of the cigarette in his hand, and then said You must have met an old woman some time ago, and that old woman had a deep relationship with a dead child named Xiaozhi.
I was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in my heart, and I hurriedly asked him if something had happened to the old woman. Stone Hammer nodded and sighed, the old woman hanged herself at home at 3:10 this morning.
"Hanged ......?" I slowly opened my mouth in astonishment, and I felt my mind suddenly go blank. Suicide? Old woman, she actually committed suicide?
Immediately, I asked him if I was really sure that the old woman had committed suicide and not for some other reason. In this case, I think the possibility of the old woman killing because of him is actually higher.
Stonehammer shook his head and lit himself another cigarette while waiting for the traffic light. This is really an old smoking gun, a heavy smoker, and I have hardly seen a stone hammer hand stop smoking since I saw it.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It is almost 100% certain that it is a suicide, and my subordinates at the scene have already gone to investigate and fully taken over the case." ”
I was silent and didn't speak, the stone hammer looked at me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, Actually, like you, I didn't believe that this was suicide at first, after all, the current situation is special.
However, not to mention the results of the on-site investigation that the old lady committed suicide, her motive for committing the crime was also very sufficient.
"You mean she had a good reason to kill herself? Why? She's just a lonely old man. ”
It was difficult for me to calm down my emotions, and the old woman was really kind and gentle, although I didn't ask why she was living alone at this age...... But, after all, everyone has their own secrets, secrets that do not want others to know.
"The motive is not complicated – to be in debt." Shi Hammer looked at me fixedly, and said calmly: "This old lady is a good person and a bad person for the time being, the fact is that she owes a lot of debts, and she is still a loan shark, and the amount that needs to be repaid after the interest is close to 600,000 yuan." ”
“…… Can I understand that she was forced to die by loan sharks? I clenched my fists tightly and said in a deep voice. Stone Hammer says he's caught the lenders, but it's not what I thought it was.
The old lady seems to have some marriage with the lenders, so these debt collectors did not particularly persecute the old lady. The more than 600,000 yuan seems to have been owed at a very early age, but the amount has not changed, and it has not risen again after rolling to 600,000.
Even, these debt collectors only ask the old lady to repay a hundred yuan a month, which means it. After all, they also understand the situation of the old lady, so what's the point of driving her to death?
I sneered and said that now everyone is dead, and you yourself said that she probably committed suicide because of debt, but do you still think that those loan guys are a bunch of kind people?
The stone hammer looked very calm, and said while driving, I am just analyzing the problem objectively with you, boy, anger will not help you solve anything, it will stain your vision, make you look like a devil, like a damn guy, but when the anger fades, you will regret it 100%.
I was dumbfounded, and I knew he was right, but I couldn't easily accept that fact. Shi Hammer told me that those loan sharks would definitely be sentenced, but the point was not this, but the motive of the old lady's suicide, why it was a debt.
"We found a letter at the scene, and the old lady explained the reason why she decided to kill herself, and she also mentioned you."
"Mentioned me? What did she say? I was stunned and hurriedly asked.
Stone Hammer looked at me, and then said, Did you make a pact with her to help her find out the truth about the death of the child named Ash? I said yes. Shi Hammer said that she wrote in the letter that she would pray in heaven to bless you with an early case.
And she is sorry for her decision to commit suicide, and she feels sorry for you and all the people who have been helping her.
"However, the last sentence of her letter was very resolute - I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I had to do it, I had to do it."
I didn't ask anything more, and now I had only one thought left in my mind - I wanted to see the old woman and her letters with my own eyes. When I arrived at the scene with Stone Hammer, there were already quite a few people around me, all of whom were isolated from the cordon.
This group of residents seems to be neighbors living nearby, many of them are covering their faces and sobbing softly, and some people feel that it is a pity that the old woman died, and they should usually give more care, which shows that the old woman's popularity is really good.
My heart became heavier and heavier, and I followed the stone hammer into the house without saying a word, and saw that many policemen were busy packing their things.
"The corpse has been sent back, right?" Stone Hammer asked a female police officer, who nodded, saying that she had been sent away an hour ago and was now packing up the old lady's belongings.
Stone Hammer stepped aside, took the sealed letter from the table, put on his gloves, and handed it to me.
"That's it, she wrote it herself, the notes are exactly the same as hers, and there is no possibility of counterfeiting."
I took the letter and read it silently, and ten minutes later, when I finished reading the three-page letterhead, my heart was only heavy.
At the moment, I don't know whether to be happy or sad - I seem to know who the murderer is.
But I didn't tell Shi Hammer about it in the first place, I just made an excuse and left the old woman's house, and then rushed all the way to Li Xiao's house. The place where Li Xiao lives is an ordinary residential area, and after talking to the security guard, he went inside.
I climbed upstairs and rang the doorbell when I arrived at the door of Li Xiao's house, and after about ten seconds, the door creaked open.
Then, I saw two people, one big and one small.
One is Li Xiao, and the other is Mr. Li's husband.
