Chapter 49: The Deadly Coriander (6)

Looking at Luo Chuan's embarrassed look, Guan Shan simply replaced him, and continued to chat with the old man in a gentle and euphemistic tone: "There are indeed some things that we can't be sure of for the time being, don't think too much about it first." I would like to ask, do you have anything to say to your daughter-in-law Xu Xiaoqing? What about her? In the same way, if it were someone else, it might make people feel more blunt, but Guan Shan handled the tone of this question as if it were small talk. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been like a big problem that plagues most families in the world. Guan Shan wanted to see what kind of person Xu Xiaoqing was in this old man's mouth, perhaps from a harsher point of view, only Mrs. Zhang could best evaluate it objectively, so as to help Luo Chuan and them recognize the accuracy of the testimony of the first witness.

When the old man heard Guan Shan ask Xu Xiaoqing, he couldn't help but smile and said: "That stupid girl in my family has nothing to say, I knew her when she and Zhang Wu were not married, she is simple in nature and real. Sometimes you may be a little simple-minded, not so careful, not so much mind-to-heart. But I don't think it's a bad thing, she's definitely a good daughter-in-law who lives her part. I look at her as if I were my own daughter. She is also good to me, and always keeps an eye on the single girls in the unit for her eldest brother Zhang Wen. Not long after giving birth, I started to go back to work, for what, not for this family. As for me, when I was pregnant with Zhang Wen, I hoped to give birth to a daughter and be a caring little padded jacket. Unexpectedly, the first one was a son. A few years later, when I was pregnant with Zhang Wu again, I was originally pregnant with twins, and I was still counting on being a dragon and phoenix fetus! But as a result, there was no one at four months, and only Zhang Wu was born. Therefore, there is no daughter's life in this life, and I regard Xiaoqing as my own daughter. The old man expressed her thoughts in her heart very directly and clearly, and she could see that her evaluation of Xu Xiaoqing was sincere, and she didn't mean to say it to Luo Chuan. Only when the twins were mentioned, there was still some regret on the old man's expression, but when he thought of Xu Xiaoqing, it seemed to make up for her regrets. Such feelings are absolutely real.

Guan Shan wanted to ask about Zhang Wu again after he left this morning, but Xiaohui suddenly asked Guan Shan in that immature childish voice: "Good-looking uncle, when will my father pick me up?" Grandma made a lot of delicious food. ”

Those clean and innocent eyes looked straight into the softest part of Guan Shan and Luo Chuan's hearts. They come into contact with all kinds of criminals every day, and their hearts have long been tempered into steel in the bizarre and terrible murders. Only when I saw this old and young, the emotions in my heart were very obvious.

Guan Shan looked at Xiaohui with a smile, reached out and touched his head, but did not reply. Luo Chuan didn't say a word, neither of them wanted to deceive this child, they didn't know how to answer. Because judging from the understanding of this trip, Zhang Wu and his wife seem to have gradually transformed from the victim's family to the suspect. Zhang Wu sent the child at five o'clock in the morning, which was enough to successfully play a time difference of several hours. After Zhang Wen's death, when the police informed him, he gave the police the illusion that he had just come out of his mother's house, but in fact he had already left after dropping off the child at about 5 o'clock in the morning. Who knows where he went in those hours? What did you do? He has become without a clear alibi.

At this time, Ke Xue's phone call relieved them of their embarrassing situation. It was the first time that Luo Chuan was so happy to receive a call from Ke Xue.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong? Is there something looking for me? ”

Luo Chuan's overly enthusiastic attitude made Ke Xue on the other end of the phone excited, and he suddenly felt a little at a loss, he had long been accustomed to the serious and stern Luo Chuan. So at this moment, he was stunned for a moment and asked Luo Chuan: "Team Luo...... Are you alright? Why is it so abnormal to speak? ”

“…… Tell me something! Luo Chuan returned to his cold and rigid tone.

In this way, Ke Xue also regained her relaxation and said: "I guess I am just fate, absolutely fate!" Originally, I was ready to follow your route and follow the carpet for three or two days to visit all kinds of gas stations. I didn't expect a breakthrough so soon! On the route you mentioned, none of the gas stations had that kind of iron drum, and they also had surveillance records to prove that no one had used the barrel to buy gasoline in bulk for the past half a month. But just as I was investigating at the gas station, a truck driver told me that there was a private refueling place by the woods not far from the gas station. You know, right? It's the kind of mobile gas station, get your own car, fill it with gasoline, and then fill people up illegally. According to the truck driver, the place provided iron drums! Then I went all the way to the place where the fuel truck was moving, and sure enough, I saw an iron drum similar to the one I found at the scene. After asking the boss, guess! Who has bought it!! Ke Xue's tone became excited and excited.

Luo Chuan stood up, walked behind the tree, and replied lightly: "Zhang Wu." ”

"This, this...... This shouldn't be! Team Luo, how would you know!? Ke Xue shouted unacceptably, thinking that she had found a major clue, and it was a clue that was unexpected enough, but she didn't expect that Luo Chuan's mouth would be right.

"Are you sure?" Luo Chuan not only did not have a trace of joy now, but could even be said to be very heavy.

"I know for sure, I've identified it through photographs. Zhang Wu has our people staring at him, and there is nothing wrong with it at the moment. Maybe it's cheaper, after all, it's much cheaper to refuel here than at a gas station! "Ke Xue is not simple-minded, but no one wants to think about the worst.

"Okay, I see. By the way, you know what the act of loading a cart of gasoline on the edge of the woods is, right? Once his car gets a little bit of spark, you know what the consequences are, right? Go and bring me the land, inform the second captain to take over, and ask the boss if there are anyone else who does the same business as him. Fire and water are ruthless, and when something happens, you will know how big it is. I'll go back now, and you can hurry up. ”

Luo Chuan was just about to hang up the phone, Ke Xue hurriedly said, "Eh, Luo team Luo!" I haven't told you yet that Zhang Wu bought a total of four barrels of gasoline from a gasoline truck. Ke Xue seemed to be subconsciously reminding Luo Chuan of something.

Luo Chuan's heart sank: "Four buckets...... Okay, I got it. After speaking, Luo Chuan hung up the phone.

Returning to the old man and the child again, Luo Chuan could no longer pretend that the grassroots cadres understood the people's feelings. He looked at the old man with some embarrassment, and froze for a long time before he said, "I'm bothering you so late, I'm causing you trouble." If there is anything next, our colleagues will contact you again, please take care. After speaking, Luo Chuan glanced at Xiaohui, who was snuggling with his grandmother, and then smiled and waved his hand to Xiaohui and said, "Goodbye." ”

The old man was very reasonable, although she had already seen that there must be something in this, but seeing that Luo Chuan was reluctant to say more, the old man did not cry and chase after him. He only nodded, ready to send Luo Chuan and them out.

Of course, Guan Shan was keenly aware of the huge emotional changes brought to Luo Chuan by a phone call. So he didn't ask any more, and after saying goodbye to the old man, he followed Luo Chuan and left.

It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the village that Guan Shan asked, "Are you sure Zhang Wu is suspicious?" ”

Luo Chuan took out a cigarette, lit it and nodded: "Hmm...... According to Xiaoxue, he had bought four barrels of gasoline before. And you heard the old man just now, the child was sent at five o'clock in the morning, and he left at five o'clock. Even if he rushes back to Zhang Wen's house from here and burns him again, the time is rich enough. He didn't have an alibi, and he bought gasoline, which is not a good sign. Luo Chuan walked away a little, puffing out his cigarette in annoyance.

In fact, since Guan Shan began to help him solve the case, Luo Chuan rarely smoked, and basically deliberately controlled it. Because he knows that Guan Shan is a person who does not smoke, drink, or eat meat that he can't see the production process. So in front of Guan Shan, Luo Chuan basically doesn't smoke. Unless, he needs it too much now.

Guan Shan also exhaled deeply, at night in the countryside, the air is exceptionally clean, and he feels refreshed after taking a breath. They all need to be rational and calm now, to be able to make sober judgments, and not to be mixed with any emotional bias.

"What was the motive for the killing? Whether it is their mother or Xu Xiaoqing, they all think that the relationship between the two brothers is good. Why did Zhang Wu kill his own brother in such a cruel way? If you can't find a motive for the killing, you can't justify your reasoning. Guan Shan pointed out the key issues.

"yes, why is he? When he was in the police force, looking at his sad and painful appearance was not at all like a pretend. Could it be that this person has a mental problem? Luo Chuan looked back at Guan Shan, trying to find some judgment from his professional point of view.

Guan Shan slowly shook his head and said, "No, I don't think it should be." But I have to admit that the moment he rushed to the police force after receiving the news of Zhang Wen's death, the sadness and pain may have overshadowed other emotions, so I didn't see anything wrong with him at that time. If it was someone he killed, he should have been angry. But when one strong emotion is enough to mask another strong emotion, it is difficult to see what he really is. Maybe he did have a suspicion, but his pain about his brother's death was real. ”

"Fratricidal cannibalism, what will it be for? What could be more important than flesh and blood? Luo Chuan couldn't understand, although the current judgment of Zhang Wu was just an assumption, it had already made Luo Chuan's heart very uncomfortable. If this unfortunate judgment is true, then the old and the young in the courtyard will lose their most important pillar at the same time. And the most pitiful thing is the old mother, who is over the age of six, but has to lose two sons at the same time. Luo Chuan didn't dare to think about how an ordinary old man who was single would have to bear it.

Guan Shan didn't care about the cigarette in Luo Chuan's hand, he stepped forward and looked directly at Luo Chuan, and said slowly: "Go find Zhang Wu, maybe you can find any clues from his house." I believe that as long as you stand in his room, you can see his life clearly. Luo Chuan, I understand your mood very well now, but most things in this world are sometimes so cruel and ruthless. Do you know why we humans are the only ones who need the constraints of the law? It doesn't matter what race you are, no matter what color you have, no matter what country you are, whether you are poor, rich or healthy, as long as you are an individual, you need to be bound by the law. Haven't heard of any animals being subject to legislation? It's not because animals are harmless or have low IQs, it's that killing animals is a natural cycle of the food chain, but humans aren't. The human food chain is a cycle of interests, which has long exceeded the bottom line of nature. Humans are the most brutal creatures on the planet, and while it's sad to kill each other, I'm not surprised. ”

Luo Chuan looked at Guan Shan's handsome but seemingly cold and indifferent face with some surprise, and asked with a wry smile after a while: "Do you all treat the same kind of people in the spiritual psychology community like this?" ”

Guan Shan laughed and said, "You don't want to know what those psychology giants think of us. Let's go, let's go find Zhang Wu now...... If he's still at home. ”

Luo Chuan is also worried that in the absence of strict orders, the police will not monitor the travel activities of Zhang Wu and his wife too much. So now I didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately drove to Zhang Wu's house.

galloping all the way, about an hour and a half later, Luo Chuan and Guan Shan had already arrived at Zhang Wu's doorstep. There was a black sedan a few hundred meters away, and Luo Chuan recognized it as their police force car at a glance. Luo Chuan got out of the car from a distance, quietly lowered his head and walked past the black car, glanced in and found that the two people inside were eating with relish.

Luo Chuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the window, and the person in the co-pilot seat opened the window impatiently and asked, "Who!" We're on business here, so let's get farther away. Otherwise, be careful that I catch ......" Before the words were finished, the person who spoke recognized Luo Chuan's cold and somewhat frightening face.

"Team Luo, Team Luo...... Why are you here?! The two people in the car were all panicked, because they couldn't be sure how long Luo Chuan had been standing outside the window. They only cared about eating and laughing, and did not pay attention to the situation outside. This is definitely a huge oversight at work.

"You're on business? I really didn't see it. I didn't do my best work, and your official tone was not small. Why, you still want to arrest me? Luo Chuan's face became more and more ugly.

"No, no, no...... We also didn't eat when we came in shifts at night, so we went to buy something to eat......" The officer explained, but the more he explained, the worse it became.

"Did you leave after a shift? How long? Luo Chuan began to get nervous, and that not-so-good intuition appeared again.

"It's only ten minutes......" The police officer knew that this time he had caused a trouble, and the sin was not small, and his head was almost down to his legs.

Luo Chuan looked at Zhang Wu's house and whispered, "I guess he's gone." ”

With that, Luo Chuan ordered the police to get out of the car and came to Zhang Wu's house together. I knocked on the door a few times, and sure enough, there was no one. In desperation, Luo Chuanzhihao broke in.
