"What did you say?"

Luo Chuan and Guan Shan looked at Chen Xi in surprise at the same time, and even the second captain who was gobbling up on the side stopped his chopsticks, puffed out his cheeks and said vaguely: "You, you, you...... You say our case is a lot like yours?? ”

Chen Xi frowned and said, "Well, yes. To tell you the truth, when I picked you up today, I just assigned the work in hand to other colleagues. Since there hasn't been much progress on the case for a while, I can still find time to help you. But this feeling is similar to burglary...... It's too similar, and it's all not suspicious suspects. ”

"Come, tell me about your case." Luo Chuan was in no mood to eat anymore. Chen Xi's sudden news made Luo Chuan feel excited. Is it really just a coincidence that two similar cases occurred in two adjacent cities at such a close time?

Chen Xi began to recount the situation of his case here from the beginning very seriously.

"On the 5th, the local police station found us and said that there was a suspected case of burglary and homicide. The deceased's name is Gao Dawei and he is currently unemployed at home. The informant is his wife, named Xu Lan. The medical examiner deduced that the time of death of the deceased should have been around 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the day of the 5th. When Xu Lan reported the case, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening. Because she was in the beauty salon all day, she didn't come home until after six o'clock. There was nothing too valuable in the deceased's home, and the criminals seemed to have robbed only the cash and cards in the deceased's wallet. ”

The second captain finally swallowed the food in his mouth at this time, and then interjected and asked, "Then this is an obvious robbery, why do you think there is a problem?" ”

"Because there is no trace of a fight indoors, no matter how thin Gao Dawei is, a normal man should not be unresponsive when facing a gangster who has broken into the house and robbed him, right? There is no sign of damage to the doors and windows, which proves that the murderer entered the house generously and killed the deceased without any precautions. And the forensic autopsy showed that the murderer's murder methods were very strange. He stabbed Gao Dawei four times in a row, and finally made up a knife in the throat. An act of excessive harm like this doesn't look like a robber did it, right? It's possible...... It was a vendetta, and the murderer took the contents of the wallet in order to deliberately create the appearance of robbery and murder. Chen Xi said in a very methodical manner.

Luo Chuan said in a deep voice on the side: "It is also possible, this is the murderer's first murder, he can't be sure whether the four knives hit the point, and he doesn't dare to stay longer and wait for the victim to die completely." So, he made up for what he thought was the deadliest and most complete damage. ”

Guan Shan also thoughtfully analyzed at this time: "The two cases are not only about the same time, but also similar in the clumsiness of the murder methods. The main thing is that they do something like killing for the sake of killing. Robbers are robbers because their purpose is money. Money is the first, or even the only, purpose of their crimes. If it weren't for the fact that the stolen family resisted too fiercely or was about to call the police, they would not be willing to cause death. After all, in the law, whether it is stealing or robbing, the punishment for the crime is much lighter than murder. ”

Chen Xi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, yes, this is where I think the biggest problem is." In the last two years, I have also dealt with several cases of robbery, and those robbers are really just for money. Especially in Gao Dawei's case, the total assets taken by the criminals were only 1,000 yuan. This also includes a bus card and credit card. This amount is really not worth the murder, it is too unworthy. ”

Luo Chuan said: "This problem also appeared in our case, the murderer only snatched the change and wedding ring used by the deceased to buy groceries. The electronic devices in the house are all in the open, but no one is moving. By the way, do you have someone on your side that you suspect? ”

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly and replied: "Gao Dawei doesn't work, he is unemployed at home, he only knows how to play games and watch lottery tickets every day, and rarely goes out." There are no enemies, no colleagues, and the social circle is so small that it is almost closed. Only his wife, and complete alibi. At least, during the time of Gao Dawei's death, her alibi was ironclad. ”

Luo Chuan's eyes radiated brilliance, and he seemed to smile happily and asked Chen Xi: "This is interesting, the deceased over there is an honest man, who loves cleanliness, husband, and cleaning." The neighbors who live on the first floor with her are all stained, because she sweeps the corridor every day. So there were almost no bad reviews for this deceased, and no suspicious vendetta suspect could be found. And her husband also has a perfect alibi. Chen Xi, your deceased's wife, can't she also be a mystery fan, right? ”

Chen Xi's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Hey, how do you know about this?" But she doesn't, she likes to watch movies. I saw several classic suspense movies downloading on her home desktop, and it looks like I should be a mystery movie fan. Speaking of this, Chen Xi seemed to realize something, opened his mouth slightly and said, "Team Luo...... Could it be ......?"

Luo Chuan smiled and looked at Guan Shan again. Guan Shan nodded understandingly, then thought for a while and said, "Yes...... Swap killing? After saying this, Guan Shan himself laughed, and he said in disbelief: "For alibi proof, exchanging killings is indeed a good way, and many suspense works have written such scenes." But...... This is very difficult to establish in real life, and the probability of success is too low. Because both the film and the compiler have perfection and deduction, that is, what the person who wrote them thinks will be. But the reality is different, two people who have been friends for many years or share a bed may not be able to fully trust, let alone two strangers who have nothing to do with each other? How do they gain the trust of each other? This problem may be more difficult than killing people themselves. ”

Guan Shan's words were very reasonable, which made Luo Chuan and Chen Xi dispell the possibility of dramatization for a while. Luo Chuan also sighed and said: "Yes, in this society now, if a stranger borrows a phone on the road, there is a chance that he will be rejected." Not to mention the exchange between strangers to kill ......"

The second captain laughed sarcastically at this time and said, "You guys really got together, and the ideas are so strange that people are surprised!" In exchange for killing, should you watch a movie? If you want me to say, I should check it, so let's go quickly! What's more, Luo Chuan, don't forget, at the scene of Zhang Tong's death, there are traces of tables and chairs beating. You've seen it yourself, and it should have been done by a man! Isn't it? If it is an exchange killing, then the suspect on Chen Xi's side should be the wife of the deceased, that is, a woman, right? ”

Luo Chuan took a deep breath and did not speak. Because he didn't plan to explain more to the second captain. Because the relationship between the characters in this case is a bit complicated, and it seems that there is an alibi, people from two different cities can't say what intersection there can be between them.

Guan Shan glanced at Luo Chuan and knew that he was thinking, so he said to Chen Xi first: "No matter how low the possibility of what we say, don't give up yet." I think before everything is decided, the two of you should give each other more clues to see if these two cases are really related. Once clues are found, then the case can be combined for investigation. ”

Chen Xi completely agreed, and they looked at Luo Chuan at the same time, waiting for Luo Chuan's meaning.

Luo Chuan seemed to be still thinking about something, and said a little absent-mindedly: "Think about it, if this matter is really their exchange of killings, then many things can be explained at once." For example, those alibi certificates, if the murder scene is reversed, then Wang Zhi and Xu Lan have no alibi. The innkeeper said that Wang Zhi arrived on the afternoon of the 5th, so he would have sufficient time to commit the crime in the morning and at noon. And Wang Zhi's wife died on the morning of the 6th, and Xu Lan happened to have no alibi evidence at that time. Let's make an assumption, Wang Zhi came here on the fifth and killed Xu Lan's husband Gao Dawei first. Then after Xu Lan dealt with her husband's affairs, she went to Wang Zhi's house overnight and killed Zhang Tong. In this way, the alibi is cracked. ”

Hearing Luo Chuan say this, the second captain couldn't help it, and hurriedly interrupted Luo Chuan and said, "Eh, you are simply taking a seat to force someone else's crime!" What proof do you have? How can you prove that the two of them have met? How can it be proved that this is a mutual murder between them? ”

Luo Chuan didn't answer the second captain, but turned his head and asked Chen Xi: "Xu Lan's fingerprints, have you collected them?" ”

"Of course there was, at that time to distinguish the suspect's fingerprints." Chen Xi replied.

"Okay, then let's go back to the hotel and look for physical evidence." Luo Chuan showed a mysterious smile, but in that smile, he revealed confidence.

The second captain wanted to say something more, but Guan Shan took a step ahead with a smile and said, "Second captain, don't worry, it's okay for us to go and see first." I know Luo Chuan, he must have some kind of certainty in his expression. ”

The second captain pouted in disbelief and said, "Don't make trouble, what physical evidence can there be in the broken hotel?" The sheets and duvet covers have long since been changed, what else can you find there? And just that unobtrusive boss, who can't even remember what people look like, what else can you ask? ”

"You don't have to ask, just ask him to borrow something." After Luo Chuan finished speaking, he got up and checked out and left.

But in the end, this meal was invited by Chen Xi, and they didn't have extra time to be polite to each other, and a few people got into the car and returned to the dilapidated small hotel.

When they turned back to the hotel, the owner was drying the quilt outside. As soon as he saw Chen Xi, he shouted as if he had seen some uninvited guest: "Ouch, my lord, why are you back again?" How the hell did I provoke you? You're wearing this dress back and forth with me going back and forth, can't I do business? ”

Chen Xi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, there are indeed some things I want to trouble you." Don't worry, I'm just here to consult, you're just cooperating with the police to handle the case, there is no conflict between us, and others won't misunderstand anything. ”

The boss rolled his eyes and said, "Master, what you said is easy, but we ordinary people don't think so." No need to sneak people live in their own homes, who comes here. But it's a little sneaky, and it makes you nervous when it sees you, okay? Oh, it's okay, the people don't fight with the officials, what's the matter, hurry up! This time, I'm going to trouble a few people to say something in a fit of air, and don't come here after that. The boss said, and made a fist at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi looked at Luo Chuan, Luo Chuan walked into the hotel, came to the front desk, folded his fingers and lightly flicked the faded Pixiu and said, "Boss, we want to borrow this." ”

"Huh?" The boss was very surprised when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Do you want this Pixiu?" Comrade, this is a fake ornament, you have seen it, it has faded! ”

Luo Chuan smiled and replied, "No, I want the coins inside." You probably haven't touched it, have you? Luo Chuan saw that this boss was sloppy, and he really didn't look like a person who would wipe and sort out these things. Moreover, it is usually auspicious to put coins in this kind of mascot, and no one will scrub those coins every day.

Chen Xi immediately understood Luo Chuan's thoughts, and immediately asked, "Team Luo, are you suspicious of the woman who opened the room after Wang Zhi?" ”

Before Luo Chuan could speak, the second captain snorted coldly and said, "The names are all different, I suspect a fart!" ”

Luo Chuan didn't care about the words of the second captain, and only explained to Chen Xi: "I noticed before, that Li Hong's identity registration may be fake, and her ID number is very strange, which arouses my suspicions. Didn't the boss say that she threw the change coins that the boss gave her into Pixiu's mouth? Then she must have left fingerprints on it. After ......"

Without waiting for Luo Chuan to finish speaking, Chen Xi immediately picked up the tray containing Pixiu and coins and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely compare the fingerprints as quickly as possible!" If Li Hong is Xu Lan...... Then the two cases must be related. ”

"Hmm." Luo Chuan said: "It's just that I still can't figure it out, how do they gain trust in each other? ”

Seeing that Luo Chuan's solution to the case was progressing very smoothly, the second captain began to doubt his judgment at this time, and said to himself: "Could it be ...... Could this really happen? Luo Chuan, are you a master of reasoning? How can you think of these two seemingly unrelated people? The man who broke into Wang Zhi's house ......"

"If my reasoning is not wrong, then it is not a strange man who broke into Wang Zhi's house at all, but a woman. The person who was very tightly wrapped and asked the neighbors about Wang Zhi's family was the murderer himself. Just because she hadn't been there, she couldn't be sure if it was Wang Zhi's family, so she asked an old man with bad eyes. As for the broken tables and chairs in the house, it is possible that Wang Zhi deliberately broke them when Wang Zhi and his wife quarreled the day before. The purpose is to get the police to target the suspect as a man after the fact. There is also the clean door without fingerprints, it is possible that Wang Zhi found blood stains or other traces on the door when he went home. He was so eager to destroy the evidence that he didn't think too much about it, so much so that he wiped it off at once, so much so that he even wiped off his own fingerprints. ”
