"In other words, many people in your village actually know him?" I asked.

Chen Yiguang nodded secretly.

After I figured it out, I felt that if this was the case, it would be even more difficult to use the clue of the murder scene to find the murderer.

So I lowered my head in annoyance, raised my left hand, and gently supported my forehead.

At this time, a police officer came over and whispered in my ear, "Officer Lu, someone has turned himself in." ”

"Who?" I immediately got up and went out into the hall to take a look.

I saw that the person who turned himself in before turned himself in turned out to be Chen Yiguang's father, Chen Li.

"Officer, I'm the murderer, will you arrest me?" Chen Li said that when he saw me come out, he came over to me again and said, "Officer Lu, in fact, Lao Liu was killed by me, and I surrendered." ”

"You killed it?" I thought to myself that he was indeed very suspicious, after all, he was the one who mainly had a dispute with Lao Liu at the beginning, and he was the person who was most familiar with Lao Tietou.

So I decided to detain him temporarily.

He confessed the facts of the case and said: "The matter has to start with the previous contradiction, when Lao Liu and I had a lot of trouble because of the division of land. Then I kept holding a grudge and secretly helped him catch him on the 6th. Because of that land, I wanted the money back, so I blackmailed him. ”

As he spoke, he kept panting lowly, as if he was sick.

I poured him a glass of water and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

He took the water and said, "Thank you, it's asthma, ** sick." ”

Can a person with asthma capture a normal person? And with his skinny figure, I don't believe it.

I deliberately went outside and asked a colleague who had borrowed a pack of cigarettes: "Do you have any cigarettes, give me a pack." ”

"Officer Lu, we can't smoke when we do things."

"Is there any? Give me. ”

He then took out the cigarette with a wince, handed it to me, and said, "There are only a few left." ”

When I saw that there were only three left, I took out two of them, gave them back to him, and then turned and walked back with the cigarette case and the remaining one.

After coming inside, I deliberately took out the cigarette, handed it to Chen Li, and said, "Smoke one, right?" ”

Chen Li waved his hand and said, "Thank you, I can't smoke." ”

Can't smoke? The murderer flicked the ashes on the corpse!

So now there are two possibilities: first, Chen Li is not a murderer at all; Second, there are accomplices in this.

I silently put the cigarette back in the cigarette case, threw it on the table, sat down, and said, "Coincidentally, I don't smoke either." But the murderer was a smoker. ”

Hearing the news, Chen Liden raised his head in shock and looked at me in astonishment. From the look in his eyes, I could tell he was getting nervous. This is a void of heart, right? You still want to lie to me!

"What are you doing so nervous?" I asked.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

I arched my hands together, leaned my upper body slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, is your son an accomplice?" ”

"No, absolutely not. It had nothing to do with my son, I did it. Officer, I beg you, will you arrest me? ”

"Oh, and what about the money? As we all know, the murderer blackmailed Lao Liu's family. Where's the money? ”

"I—I spent!"

Hearing him say this, I slapped my hand on the table, "So much money you said you spent it?" Now I suspect two things, first, that you are in fact nothing more than an accomplice; Second, you're here to report a false case. ”

Chen Liden burst into tears and said, "Officer, I, well, the murderer is not me at all. I just didn't want you to arrest my son, for fear that you would think he was a murderer, so I turned myself in. I thought I could take the blame for him, but I didn't think I could fool you. ”

I let out a long sigh and turned my face away, thinking that he was incapable of committing crimes, and that some of his traits did not match those of the murderer. Remembering that he wanted to protect his son, I didn't care, committed him, and persuaded him not to do it again next time.

"If your son is really not the murderer, we will not prosecute him, you can rest assured, we will not wronged good people, let's go."

That's when he left here.

After he left, I was going back to the dormitory to rest.

At this time, another village cadre was waiting for me on the road and wanted to invite me to dinner, but I felt very enthusiastic.

So I said yes.

After eating, I went back to Lao Xue's house to find Xiao Liu.

At this time, Xiao Liu was having dinner with Lao Xue and them.

When Lao Xue saw me coming, he smiled and asked, "Officer Lu, you're done, come over and have dinner together?" ”

Xiao Liu also hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Officer Lu." "From the way he looks, it can be seen that he is very embarrassed now, he probably didn't expect the people here to be so enthusiastic.

I motioned for him to sit down.

Then, I also sat down and said to Lao Xue, "I have already eaten it just now." ”

"Are you tired of investigating cases today? Brother Lu. Xiao Ling, who was sitting next to me, asked.

From the tenderness in her eyes, I could see a few different meanings, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

After a faint smile, I said, "It's okay." ”

"Oh." Xiao Ling secretly responded and nodded lightly.

Turning around, I looked at Lao Xue and said, "I found the first murder scene today, but these are confidential." ”

"yes, I see."

Xiao Liu hurriedly asked me, "Officer Lu, have you found the murderer?" ”

After I was calm for a moment, I shook my head secretly and said in a deep voice: "It has not yet been determined who is the murderer, but there are a few suspects. ”

"Who?" Lao Xue asked.

He is a village cadre and Lao Liu's colleague, so it is normal to want to know.

Still, I said two words: "Confidential." ”

Xiaoling poured me a glass of wine and said, "Officer Lu, don't investigate the case when we eat, have a drink?" ”

I smiled faintly and said, "No, I was still dizzy after drinking it yesterday." I still have to get up early to investigate the case tomorrow, so I won't drink today. After speaking, I looked at Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu understood what I meant, and he had already returned to his heart, so he nodded.

Only then did I look back at Lao Xue and Xiaoling, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you for so long, but we have to go back." ”

"Sit down a little longer, Brother Lu." Xiao Ling said warmly.

"Nope."

After some excuses, Xiao Liu and I left Lao Xue's house and planned to go back.

On the way, Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Officer Lu, I feel that Miss Xiaoling seems to be interesting to you!" ”

"Where? Don't talk nonsense. ”

As we spoke, a man suddenly burst out of the alley next to us and shoved me. Caught off guard, I was pushed back by him.
