In his heart, Luo Chuan's impression of the family of the victim in front of him is not very good, at least not as good as Xiao Ai. This has nothing to do with age and appearance, but the Wang Xue in front of her, with a greedy look between her eyebrows.

The expression on which she looked at people was very uncomfortable, and her eyes dodged from side to side, seemingly scheming. The tone of her mouth was fake, which made people feel at once that she was not concerned about the cause of her husband's death, but about compensation.

As expected, before Luo Chuan could reply, Wang Xue wiped away her tears and calculated an account for Luo Chuan and them: "You said that if your people's police don't call the shots for me, how will I live for the rest of my life?" Not to mention the days when I am a widow when I am less than forty years old, let's just say that how can I maintain this life? When the dead ghost was alive, he did all the dirty work at home, and I couldn't do the hard work! In this small business, he usually runs the goods and pulls the goods himself, and I don't even go out. Now that he has closed his eyes and left, how can I survive as a woman! If there is no man inside and outside, how do you say I am living? Wang Xue patted her chest and stared at the settling of accounts, as if the people's police should immediately take out some pension for her or send her a man.

Xu Guofu couldn't stand it anymore, so he dragged Wang Xue away and said, "I said Xingwang daughter-in-law, you can't count this account with us." We are responsible for handling the case, not for the bereavement benefits. Besides, you have to be strong! Look at Xiao Ai, who has lived by himself since he was a teenager, no one relies on him, and he doesn't live well? You have to cheer up, you have to get by. ”

After listening to Xu Guofu's words, Wang Xue rolled her eyes and said: "I don't care, kill people to pay for your life." If you pay for your life, you have to lose money! Our family is suddenly missing a big worker, so no matter who did it, he can't compensate me for mental damages? ”

The more Xu Guofu listened, the more angry he became, especially in front of Luo Chuan and Ke Xue, which made him feel very embarrassed.

So at this time, he also pulled down his face and said, "If you don't want to solve the case, let's leave!" ”

Seeing that Xu Guofu was really about to turn around, Wang Xue grabbed Xu Guofu and said, "Ouch, you see that you are still a people's policeman!" I just died of my husband, and I'm not allowed to complain anymore? Come on, come on, sit down, and ask any questions! ”

By this time, Luo Chuan had nothing to ask her again. Because Luo Chuan knew very well that this woman would not have a few words of truth in her mouth. For the so-called compensation, it is very likely that she will make up stories full of nonsense. So, Luo Chuan asked Ke Xue and Lao Xu to ask for the transcript together, and he himself walked around in this small courtyard.

At the base of the wall of the room, there was a pair of muddy men's cloth shoes. Luo Chuan squatted down and took a closer look, and the mud on the soles of his shoes was not completely dry. Walking along the wall to the garbage basket, there was a ring of soot on the ground, and a few tiny tobacco leaves. On the right-hand side are several large woven bags, which look like they should be used by Wang Xingwang to carry goods back and forth.

Luo Chuan walked over, picked up a bag and looked at it, it was no problem to fit a person in that size. There was still a leftover hoard in the bag, piled up in a mess.

Further up the kitchen, a large stump-like board was placed on a dilapidated wooden table in the doorway, with two bone chopping knives on it, which looked like they were usually used for cutting meat and vegetables. There was also a large water tank more than one meter high standing next to the kitchen door, Luo Chuan lifted the lid and looked at it, and the water in the water tank was full.

Luo Chuan had an idea in his heart, and looked back at Wang Xue who was crying with Ke Xue and them in the dark, and couldn't help frowning.

Just when Xiao Ai took out the tissue he was carrying with him again and handed it to Wang Xue, Luo Chuan suddenly asked, "Have any men come to your family recently?" ”

Wang Xue's crying stopped abruptly, and then she jumped up, pointed at Luo Chuan and scolded: "Eh, how can you talk!" My husband just died, what do you mean that there is no man who has ever come?! What you are asking is insulting my character! ”

Luo Chuan waved his hand lightly and said, "Okay, it's almost there, has anyone ever come, haven't you counted it yourself?" ”

Wang Xue's eyes were red, and she pointed at Luo Chuan and scolded with her feet: "Do you city people look down on us countrymen?" Is this the quality of the police in the city? Look at your young age, why can't a dog's mouth spit out ivory! Why are you questioning me like that? What proof do you have to frame me! If you talk nonsense again, be careful that the old lady sues you for picking off your official clothes! ”

Xu Guofu didn't react to what was going on at all, and hurriedly stood up and stopped Wang Xue, lest her scolding make the surrounding neighbors shout.

Luo Chuan didn't mind, he slowly walked up to Wang Xue and said, "You want evidence, right?" Good. ”

With that, Luo Chuan walked to the root of the wall and pointed to the shoes on the ground and said, "These are not your shoes, right?" Your husband has been missing for almost ten days, and the wet mud on the soles of his shoes hasn't dried yet? ”

Wang Xue's face blushed and white for a while, and argued: "That's my shoes!" Our family is not rich, I wear my husband's shoes to work, can't I? You also said that he has been missing for so many days, I don't do the work at home, you come to do it for me?! ”

Luo Chuan nodded calmly, then pointed to the inconspicuous cigarette ash and tobacco leaves in the corner and said, "This is the tobacco you rolled, the cigarettes you smoked?" ”

"Yes... That's right! Can't women smoke?! Wang Xue was so excited that even the green tendons on her neck were exposed.

"Yes, what about cigarette butts? What about your cigarette papers, tobacco leaves, lighters and the like? Luo Chuan asked calmly.

"I ...... I don't usually smoke! I couldn't find that dead ghost these days, and I was upset, so I smoked one! I don't think it's easy to smoke, so I threw it away! Wang Xue's words are obviously lacking in confidence.

Luo Chuan walked to the water tank again, looked at Wang Xue, lifted the lid of the water tank casually, and said lightly: "Your husband has disappeared for more than a week, and the water in this water tank is still full." Didn't you say you couldn't do the hard work? Who filled this water for you? ”

Wang Xue was out of breath, crossed his waist and scolded angrily: "He's dead, what's the matter if I can't live anymore?" I have to use water myself! I don't do it myself, do you expect you police to come to my door every day to take care of me?! Oh my goodness! Why is my life so miserable! Not to mention a short-lived ghost on the stall, he walks on the front foot, and there are police on the back foot to bully people! Wang Xue's crying became louder and louder, and Xu Guofu and Ke Xue were a little nervous. If the neighbors came, they thought it was really the police bullying people!

Luo Chuan was a little impatient, and scolded in a cold voice: "Shut up!" You picked the water in this tank, right? Here, prove that you can, now bring three buckets of water. ”

Frightened by Luo Chuan's voice, Wang Xue closed her mouth, and reluctantly stood up and took the bucket, but stood there without moving.

Luo Chuan looked at Wang Xue and asked in a cold voice: "Pick it up, didn't you say that you did it yourself?" Come, prove it to me. ”

Wang Xue knew that this matter could not be passed, and it was impossible for her to move a few buckets of water. Usually at home, she is like an aunt and grandmother, and she doesn't even help take care of Wang Xingwang's goods, leaving them to pile up in a messy way. How could she carry water herself?

With a roll of her eyes, Wang Xue put down the bucket, changed her face and glanced at Luo Chuan with disgust and said, "Comrade policeman, I may have been a little excited just now, and my speech is not good, so don't take it to heart." But you see that I can't eat or sleep these days, and I've lost a few pounds all of a sudden, where do I still have the strength to carry water? Besides...... Aren't you here to be the master of the people? Didn't you come here for that dead ghost? How...... Why did you investigate me instead? ”

Luo Chuan's face was serious, and he was full of awe-inspiring righteousness, and said loudly: "That's right, we are here for Wang Xingwang." When investigating the murderer, we need to find out when the crime was committed and the motive for the crime. If you're having an affair and you're going to bring it home, it's easy for your conflict to escalate. To put it simply, you have the motivation, the conditions, and the time. ”

Wang Xue was frightened when she heard this, she didn't slow down after opening her mouth for a long time, and was stunned for half a minute, and then she said anxiously: "Comrade police, don't guess!" It doesn't matter if you admit to breaking your shoes, who made that straw bag useless! But when it comes to killing, it's worth your life! You can't lay this sin on my head! ”

Luo Chuan didn't bother to look at Wang Xue anymore, so he only lowered his head and said, "A few men have come to your house and tell me all the names and addresses." I'm going to check them one by one, after all, you have the most direct motive for killing. ”

Wang Xue looked away embarrassedly, blushed and said with a thick neck: "Look at what you said...... Also a few men...... Me, can I not say it? You said that there are only so many people in our village who face each other, and everyone looks up and doesn't look down. As soon as you shout about this investigation, the whole village must know! Why am I still here? ”

Xu Guofu is an old police officer, and when he heard this, he already understood what Luo Chuan meant. Love killing, catching traitors and seeing both of them, this situation is the easiest to cause death. Luo Chuan's suspicion of Wang Xue is absolutely justified, because the motive for killing is too obvious!

Xu Guofu didn't expect Wang Xue to be such a misbehaved woman, and she was no longer kind of words at this time, so she turned her face and said, "Oh, if you're afraid of being embarrassed, don't do this kind of thing!" Now, do you want to be a murderer, or do you want to be a murderer? Xingwang knows what this you are, doesn't he? ”

Wang Xue was also really scared, and said with a sad face: "What can that useless thing know!" Every day when I come back, I know that I am tired, and I sleep to death when I enter the door and lie on the bed! That shit, you deserve it with a hat! ”

Xu Guofu felt ashamed when he heard this, and hurriedly interrupted Wang Xue and said, "Okay, okay, you can still break your shoes!" Hurry up and tell who that person is, and Captain Luo should hurry up and investigate and eliminate suspicious objects. ”

Wang Xue was very reluctant, and squirmed for a long time before she chirped: "Yes...... It's Dayong. ”

Xu Guofu thought about it and suddenly said, "Oh......! Is that Liu Dayong who always comes to your house to buy rice and noodles? Although Xu Guofu does not live in this village, he is a local after all, and some of the names are still somewhat impressive.

Seeing Xu Guofu's reaction, Luo Chuan asked, "Old Xu, do you know this person?" ”

Xu Guofu "coughed" and sighed and said: "I can't talk about acquaintance, it's this kid who is famous for his ability to turn upside down." It is said that he has money, and he often buys things from Xingwang's family, and when he buys them, he buys a lot of them, and then sells them in Yunhai County. The prices in the county are always higher than in the village, and he may be able to make some money. Thirty-six or seventeen years old, still a bachelor! Who knows...... He's got this kind of in this business! ”

"Let's find him first."

As soon as Luo Chuan spoke, Xiao Ai, who had been well-behaved and silent, spoke: "Team Luo, I have met Liu Dayong, I went to the county early this morning, according to his usual habits, it is estimated that he will come back tomorrow morning." ”

When Xu Guofu heard this, he also persuaded: "Team Luo, you have been running all the way until now, and now that you have important clues, you are not in a hurry for these few hours." This mountain is not as good as the city, let's toss back and forth to find Liu Dayong, it is better to wait here for one night. After dark, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and if something happens, it will be even more difficult. ”

Luo Chuan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xu Guofu said was also reasonable, running back and forth, maybe it would be easy to miss Liu Dayong's return.

After thinking about it again and again, Luo Chuan finally said to Xu Guofu: "Old Xu, then I'll leave it to you here, I can't let her leave our sight." She couldn't go anywhere until she figured it out. ”

Xu Guofu nodded again and again: "I know, I know, Ming'er found Liu Dayong early in the morning, and we will be able to understand the ins and outs of the last one, whether it is the person they killed or not, it should be clear." ”

Luo Chuan nodded, and called Ke Xue and Xiao Ai to go back first. Xu Guofu asked someone to come and see Wang Xue, after all, she is now an important suspect.

returned to Xiao Ai's house, and the other two police officers hurriedly asked Luo Chuan about the investigation.

Xiao Ai saw that Luo Chuan and they were going to talk about business, so he closed the door and went to the kitchen to cook alone.

Ke Xue asked Luo Chuan with some hesitation: "Team Luo, this is not your temper, since you know that it may be the pair of adulterers and murderers, why don't we go directly to arrest Liu Dayong?" ”

Luo Chuan frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "The reason why Lao Xu said it is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I always feel that it is ...... It's not as simple as a love killing. And you've also seen Wang Xue, do you think she has the kind of IQ that can kill people and remove corpses without showing a trace? The traces of the affair were easy for me to find, and the whole yard was full of flaws, and there was evidence of her cheating everywhere. Do you think she can have enough mind to handle the scene? And that Liu Dayong is the same, if he is smart enough, he won't let things be so embarrassing in the end. With the skills of the two of them, even if they kill someone, burying them on the spot is the easiest and most direct way. Why did they have to carry the body that far up the mountain? ”

"So...... Do you think the killers weren't them? Ke Xue looked at Luo Chuan in surprise.
