Just when Luo Chuan lowered his head and pondered, the old village chief on the side was a little untenable and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the villagers next to him helped him in time, and they all asked him what was wrong and whether there was anything wrong.

Luo Chuan raised his eyes to look at the village chief and found that the village chief was looking at Liu Dayong's corpse, his eyes were full of horror. Sweat was dripping down the old face, and even the color of his lips had changed.

Luo Chuan looked at the corpse, then walked up to the village chief and asked, "Village Chief Li, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The village chief dodged Luo Chuan's eyes, shook his head and said, "No, no...... It was this sudden sight of such a miserable corpse that made me feel a little uncomfortable. He was not yet forty years old...... It's a pity to die like this......" said the village chief, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

At this time, Luo Chuan began to miss Guanshan a little. Because if Guan Shan was by his side, he might be able to easily see what secrets this old village chief was hiding.

Regarding this point, even if there is no Guanshan, Luo Chuan is very sure. And it seems that the village chief is not alone, the two older villagers behind the village chief, and even Xu Guofu, they all showed extraordinary shock at the moment they learned of Liu Dayong's death. Luo Chuan remembered that look very clearly. Not just shock, but also fear, worry. It's as if they're afraid that the next person to die will be themselves.

Luo Chuan thought about it, so he asked Ke Xue and the others to go to the scene first, and he helped the old village chief to find the big tree a little farther away from the corpse, and let the village chief sit on a big stone. Looking at the appearance of this old man, he definitely needs to rest and rest now, calm and calm.

When the village chief's face softened slightly, Luo Chuan said to the village chief casually: "Do you know what the case we are most afraid of when we usually handle cases?" ”

The village chief looked at Luo Chuan with some confusion and shook his head.

Luo Chuan smiled: "Let me tell you, it's not a murderous and terrible murderer, nor is it a drug lord who is not afraid of death." What we are most afraid of is that the eyes of the masses are not bright. They may sometimes inadvertently defend the murderer, protect the criminal, and keep some crucial secrets tight. All this may not be intentional on their part, but because of the wrong decisions of some people, the direction of the investigation of the case will take many detours. ”

When the village chief heard this, he lowered his head slightly. At this age, even in a closed mountain village, how can you not hear the meaning of other people's words? It's just that he still kept his head down and didn't speak.

Luo Chuan was not in a hurry, and continued: "Look, in fact, we are not afraid of detours, because we can continue to investigate." But what we fear most is that while the police are being detoured, the murderer continues to commit crimes. In that case, some unintentional wrong decisions will not be as simple as delaying the handling of the case, but will cause other lives to be harmed. ”

The old village chief blinked his eyes, sighed deeply and said, "Comrade...... I know what you mean. There are some bad things, we all swear to rot in our stomachs for the rest of our lives, you say that I am this age, I really don't want to mention it. Moreover, I don't think what happened in our village has anything to do with it. ”

Luo Chuan looked at the village chief's eyes, his gaze was sharp, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you really think it's okay?" ”

"It really doesn't matter...... the village chief avoided Luo Chuan's eyes again, and rubbed his hands unconsciously.

"Then why are you afraid?" Luo Chuan asked.

"I ......"

At this moment, Xu Guofu ran over. He looked at the situation on Ke Xue's side, and hurriedly came over to ask Luo Chuan, "How is it here?" Any clues? ”

Luo Chuan looked at Xu Guofu for a while, and then asked bluntly: "Old Xu, did anything special happen on the mountain road where Wang Xingwang's body was found?" ”

Xu Guofu's face changed, and he replied: "No, no, right?" ”

Luo Chuan nodded and continued to ask: "You are also an old police officer, and you have more experience than me." I would like to ask, in your opinion, do you think there is any connection between these two murders? What did the deceased have in common? ”

Xu Guofu thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... What do both of them have in common...... Isn't it just to prosper his daughter-in-law? ”

Luo Chuan slowly shook his head and said, "Isn't Wang Xue already controlled by the police?" She had no chance of committing the crime. I found that these two people have one thing in common, that is, they are both people who often go out of the village and often go back and forth to that mountain road, right? ”

Xu Guofu's mouth stumbled a little, and he continued incoherently: "Uh, it's... Right. ...... to the

"Then I want to ask a few people, what happened on that mountain road? You're all from here, and you're all well aware of the events that have happened in this village. Locals have local secrets, and I can understand that. But if human lives are involved, you still have to insist on concealing it......" Luo Chuan's words did not continue, but his eyes turned cold when he looked at the village chief and Xu Guofu.

Xu Guofu knew that since Luo Chuan's words had already been said to this point, there were some things that could not be hidden. The captain of the city criminal investigation team, if he is in a hurry, it will be even worse to make those things all over the village.

After thinking about it again and again, Xu Guofu persuaded the old village chief: "Village chief, don't forget it...... If that incident had nothing to do with the murder, Captain Luo wouldn't have spread it around. But if there is a relationship...... If we conceal the truth, it will really affect the solving of the case. You see, this murderer has no intention of stopping, if he dies again......"

The village chief sighed deeply again, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Hey! Well, I'll take care of that! Just this has pressed my heart for many years, and it is indeed uncomfortable! ”

As he spoke, Village Chief Li stood up, hunched his back, walked back and forth in front of the big tree twice, and then said, "Seven years ago, something bad happened on that mountain road. At that time, we just had two minibuses in the village, which were responsible for sending the villagers back to the county for purchase. And at that time, there were no tourists, they were all their own people. We didn't have any automatic ticket machines, so we found a girl in the village to be the conductor, and every day we went back and forth on that mountain road, and nothing happened. Until one day...... Four strangers stopped the car in the county, saying that they wanted to visit the village. It was already late, there were only a few people in the car, and the driver, Lao Chen, didn't think much about it, so he let them come up. Who knows...... These brutes turned out to be a bunch of wicked people!! When the car drove up the mountain, they took out knives, as if there was still a robbery! Let everyone take out their money and things of value and put them in their pockets. Everyone was scared...... But there is nothing of value in your hands! The brutes saw that they had not robbed anything of value, and walked over to the girl who had sold the ticket. They snatched the ticket money and ...... Then ......" Village Chief Li couldn't go on when he said this.

Looking at the village chief's face, he was ashamed and very sad. Luo Chuan only looked at the expressions of these people, and he could probably think of what happened next.

A villager looked at the unspeakable look of the village chief, and then stood up, and then the village chief said, "Then ...... The four of them forced the girl who sold the ticket (room...... Right in the car......"

"Right in the car? How many people were in the car at the time? Luo Chuan was very surprised, there were only four bandits! There was no one in this car to help that woman?

The villagers were also ashamed and said, "My eldest brother was in the car at the time, and he told me about it." There were probably 10 people in the car at that time...... However, those people have knives and guns in their hands, who dares to move!! My brother said that the conductor's crying voice was broken, and he was tortured so badly. But at that time, there was a gangster who threatened the driver with a knife, and the driver did not dare to stop, nor did he dare to drive on the mountain road, so in the end it was like that......"

Luo Chuan listened to this, and only felt a tightness in his chest. He restrained his emotions and continued to ask, "What about later?" ”

"Later...... Then the group ...... When it's all over...... They took the money and asked the driver to stop, but when they got out of the car, it seemed that they had damaged the car, and then the car had an accident and two people died. When the villagers said this, they kept their heads down, as if they couldn't face this embarrassing past that was sealed in the villagers' mouths.

Xu Guofu also sighed at this time and said: "That's what I knew at that time, there was a car accident in the minibus, and the police in our county rushed over." The conditions in the mountains were not good, the rescue was not timely, and two people died. But the girl who sold the ticket was fortunately rescued. Everyone couldn't accept this matter, and it was also for the sake of the girl's reputation, so the people in the village made a tacit decision that no one was allowed to mention that incident again! We also returned to the county and began to track down the four gangsters, but there were no clues. Team Luo...... You have also seen the mountain road today, seven years ago, it was not as good as now! We don't have any advanced monitoring equipment, and we don't have any electronic eyes, so we can't find those four people at all! ”

Luo Chuan had already heard the ins and outs of this matter clearly, he had a gloomy face, and asked Xu Guofu: "If I said it correctly, Wang Xingwang and Liu Dayong were all in that car at the time, right?" ”

Xu Guofu's fluttering eyes and the village chief's heavy sigh undoubtedly confirmed Luo Chuan's guess.

In fact, it is very simple, if it weren't for the fact that the two dead were in that car now, the village chief would not be as scared as they are now. At first, when Wang Xingwang's body was found, he didn't feel how nervous they were. Until Liu Dayong also died, they seemed to suddenly remember something, and they were all like facing a great enemy.

"Where is the woman who sold the ticket now?" Luo Chuan asked.

Now, the most suspicious person has finally been found. Ten people stood by and watched, and ten people watched her being wheeled by four gangsters, and this hatred was enough to constitute a motive for murder.

The village chief pointed to the west and said, "After that, she moved to the west of the cemetery...... I live there like a ghost. Some people visited her, but they all drove her out. She said...... It is better to be neighbors with the dead than with the living. In the past two years, everyone has gradually forgotten about it, and few people have gone to see her again. But sometimes there are dead people in the village, and when I go to the cemetery, I can still see her standing outside the cemetery like a ghost, looking at the buried people from a distance. Ay...... I guess it's mentally abnormal......"

Luo Chuan called Ke Xue and two other police officers, and then instructed the two police officers to cooperate with the local police to dispose of the body and cordon off the scene.

Ke Xue was about to take pictures in the back just now, so he came over to listen to a few words, and probably understood this matter, at this time he frowned tightly, and said to Luo Chuan with some heaviness: "Team Luo, are we going to find that woman now?" ”

Luo Chuan nodded, and then asked the village chief, "What's her name?" ”

"Hey...... Her name is Tian Ying. The village chief covered his face and shook his head constantly.

Xu Guofu said to the villagers at this time: "Hurry up and help the village chief go home!" Let him hurry up and rest. Then, he said to Luo Chuan: "Go, I'll accompany you to find Tian Ying!" ”

Luo Chuan didn't speak, only took Ke Xue with him, and followed Xu Guofu towards the west of the cemetery.

On the way, Ke Xue asked Luo Chuan in a low voice: "Team Luo, I didn't expect you to really tell you, the murderer is really a woman!" If that Tian Ying lived near the cemetery, then Liu Dayong's death would be too convenient for her to commit the crime. But...... We still haven't figured it out, how did she do it, to be able to stab Liu Dayong from above? Also, the king is prosperous......"

Without waiting for Ke Xue to finish asking, Luo Chuan interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, the truth is getting closer and closer." The things that don't make sense are the places where we don't know things. It's not decided yet, so don't jump to conclusions. ”

Xu Guofu, who had been walking in a muffled voice, also stopped at this time and turned around, and said to Luo Chuan very ashamedly: "Captain Luo, I'm really sorry!" I really didn't expect that what happened seven years ago would have something to do with Xingwang's death! I didn't mean to hide it, I just ...... Hey, I'm really incompetent as an old policeman! ”

Luo Chuan looked at Xu Guofu and said with relief: "It's okay, being able to find out the truth is more important than anything else." I think I can understand that a group of people watching a woman get insulted is something that no one would want to talk about afterwards. And didn't you think of it either? After many years, I don't blame you. Don't think too much, let's go find Tian Ying quickly. ”

Seeing Luo Chuan's attitude, Xu Guofu relieved his heart, nodded and said, "Eh! Good! You see, there is a courtyard not far ahead, and there is nothing around, I think that is where Tian Ying lives. ”

Luo Chuan nodded, and then quickened his pace and walked towards the lonely courtyard. Obviously, he was getting closer and closer to the truth, but Luo Chuan's heart was still not excited. The big rock was still pressing down on his chest, leaving him breathless.
