Chapter 48: The Deadly Coriander (5)

Luo Chuan and Guan Shan came to the laboratory to look for Ke Xue again, and saw through the glass door that Ke Xue was still studying the pair of "unsolved shoes" very seriously.

"Xiaoxue? Are you still working on that pair of supernatural shoes? Luo Chuan asked jokingly.

Ke Xue heard Luo Chuan's voice, turned around and hurriedly beckoned, "Team Luo, come quickly, I have made a new discovery!" ”

Luo Chuan and Guan Shan glanced at each other, walked over with a smile, looked at the large stack of contrasting materials in Ke Xue's hand and said, "What's the matter, did you find traces left by resentful spirits on your shoes?" ”

Ke Xue scratched her hair and said a little embarrassedly: "Team Luo, don't laugh at me!" I know it's wrong, it's me who was talking nonsense and being suspicious. Didn't you tell me to come back and do some research on how these shoes got out? I think I already have the answer! ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Luo Chuan looked at Ke Xue with a smile.

"It's worn out!" Ke Xue looked serious.

Guan Shan also laughed on the side, Ke Xue misunderstood, thinking that Guan Shan was laughing at him for talking nonsense, so he hurriedly explained: "Professor Guan, listen to me!" I'm not talking nonsense, I've just taken a closer look at the shoeprints and shoes again, and suddenly realize that I may have overlooked an important issue. The shoes are not completely focused on the dirt, that is, it is not appropriate for people who wear shoes to leave footprints. The depth of the heel is significantly lower than that of the sole of the foot, and the shoe is a size 43, and the person who walks out in these shoes is at most a size 41 foot! This proves that there are no ghosts at all, and it is not the deceased who went out with their shoes on! ”

Guan Shan still smiled beautifully, he sat on the chair where Ke Xue worked, and then stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at the shoes from a distance and said, "Your observation is very good, and it can even be better." Luo Chuan always scared you into saying that he was going to transfer you back to the lab, which actually made sense, because all you have here is potential that you may not have been aware of. I want to tell you that don't be ashamed of your fears, you didn't do anything wrong. Anyone in that weird situation would have some associations of their own, wouldn't they? ”

Ke Xue walked to Guan Shan's side and asked with admiration in her eyes: "Professor Guan, you... How do you know I'm ashamed? I've been studying these shoes since you and Team Luo left, and I always feel that my suspicious appearance before is really embarrassing! But I really feel a little scared......"

"It's normal to be afraid, and all the violations of the norm make people feel that way. We attribute phenomena that we can't explain to the supernatural, because then we can have a valid excuse to explain them satisfactorily. So I tell you, don't be ashamed, use your own reasoning and judgment, one day you will not only take off the hat of the internship, but even surpass Luo Chuan in the future! Guan Shan smiled very warmly, as if his smile could always give people a calming effect. No matter what kind of environment you are in, no matter what kind of mood you are in at this moment, as long as you look him in the eye and look at his smile, you can get peace from the bottom of your heart. This is also the reason why Ke Xue and Tian Zhen have admired Guan Shan more and more since they came into contact these days. There are also Director Yang, Xing Lao, and even the second captain, it seems that it is difficult for anyone to have a disgust for Guan Shan.

Ke Xue seemed to have received great encouragement, he looked down at his hard-earned research results, and whispered: "I just want to prove it to Team Luo, I can!" I don't want to hear people say I'm just a nerd from a good family who deserves to sit in the lab......"

After listening to Ke Xue's words, Guan Shan looked at him for a while and said, "You know, there is such a saying in psychology that human language is equivalent to witchcraft. People's words can make people happy and moved, but they can also break people's self-confidence and make people despair. Professors use words to impart knowledge and empower students, and speakers use words to move their audience to influence their choices. Words can cause mood swings in people, so we often use conversations to sense each other and bring people closer. Therefore, this is a powerful magic weapon that can influence others. If you care so much about what others say, you're doomed to be a failed intern in any work environment. Guan Shan said meaningfully, looking deeply into Ke Xue's eyes. Unless the job requires, he would rarely say so much to someone he didn't have a good relationship with. But recently, Guan Shan has been watching this hard-working big boy by Luo Chuan's side, although he has some small shortcomings, but that serious and motivated energy makes Guan Shan see the future of a good criminal policeman from him.

At this time, Ke Xue blinked his eyes that were about to burst into tears, grabbed Guan Shan's arm and said, "Professor Guan, thank you!" You have given me the strength to keep working hard! ”

Luo Chuan dragged Ke Xue's clothes from behind and pulled him back from Guan Shan's side, and then said in a cold voice: "What magical power did he give you, you have to work for me now!" I've given you a lesson, and I've been delayed for another ten minutes! Have Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Wu already left? ”

"Yes! If you leave, they will also leave, just say that after we deal with it, we will quickly notify them to retrieve Zhang Wen's body and bury it as soon as possible. Ke Xue said truthfully.

"It is enough to be in the earth for peace, and even if he is in the earth now, he will not get rest. Zhang Wen was killed, not killed. As the husband and wife said, Zhang Wen's social relationship is so simple, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out who killed him. Luo Chuan looked at his watch, as if he was counting the time.

When Ke Xue heard this, he immediately asked: "Is that to call Zhang Wu and his wife back now?" Or, are you going to go to their house? ”

"No, no, don't worry, you go and send someone to keep an eye on them first, send me the address of Zhang Wu's mother, I'm going there to see how grandma and the child are." Luo Chuan said, this is leaving.

"Huh?" Ke Xue stopped Luo Chuan incomprehensibly, wondering why he was so idle now.

Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows and replied, "Ah, what, hurry up and do it." By the way, the forensic section should have brought back a bucket from the scene. If nothing else, it should be filled with gasoline. Did you know that gasoline also has DNA? If you can find gasoline from a barrel, you can find out where it came from in a lab. If you can't find it, then you can take two people and find a gas station along the way from Zhang Wen's house to his mother's house, and see which gas station will provide that kind of barrel and that kind of gasoline. ”

"Along the way? This distance ...... "Ke Xue faintly had a bad premonition.

"It's about an hour away, and it's not that far, is it? Go ahead and send me the address! After Luo Chuan finished speaking, he went out with Guan Shan.

After going out, Guan Shan asked, "Is it really an hour's journey?" ”

"Maybe two hours! Tell him he'll feel far away. It doesn't hurt to exercise more, in case he gets blown away by the strength you give. Dozens of kilometers to find a pair of shoes, hundreds of kilometers to find someone, this kind of thing I used to do at the beginning, just get used to it. As soon as Luo Chuan finished speaking, the information arrived, Ke Xue had already sent the address of Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu's mother's house, and Luo Chuan and Guan Shan immediately set off.

By the time we got to the place, it was already dark. This place is a rural area in the suburbs, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu grew up here when he was a child, just in front of this Zhang village.

With the detailed location sent by Ke Xue, Luo Chuan and Guan Shan quickly found the clean and tidy small courtyard. Now that the living conditions are better, the rural areas are no longer the backward they imagined. Although it is inevitable that there are some areas where the living conditions are relatively difficult, it is not easy for a country with such a large population to develop rapidly to this day. For example, the Zhang Village in front of you, although it is located in a remote area and is relatively simple, but judging from the courtyards of every household, life is still very good. Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu's house is in the courtyard planted with a big locust tree at the east end of the village.

As soon as I walked to the front of the courtyard, I heard the sound of children laughing and playing and the old people doting and persuading. It was probably time to eat, but the child was still playing in the yard and refused to come into the house to eat.

Luo Chuan hesitated slightly, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?" A kind voice came from the courtyard.

Luo Chuan hesitated again, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Hello, we were sent by the city to do the census. ”

"Wait a minute!" The old man urged his grandson in the yard, and then took the child's little hand and came to open the door.

The door opened, and the old man in front of him was exactly what Luo Chuan thought. At the age of Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, the old man should have been younger than now, and it seems that the old man got married and had children relatively late.

Mrs. Zhang was wearing a gray linen blouse, and her gray hair was tucked behind her ears. A pair of eyes are clear and bright, even in the year of the sixtieth year, it still looks energetic.

"Are you two comrades from the city? Come on, come on in! Looking at Luo Chuan's police uniform, the old man was not suspicious. Probably because the old man couldn't tell the difference between the census and the criminal police captain's outfit.

Under the big locust tree, there is a small wooden tea table, surrounded by a few small benches made by himself, which looks like they are all a little old. Although it is old, the color workmanship has a delicate feeling that can not be compared with today's modern furniture. There was a small wooden horse not far from the small table, and the child was probably playing with it just now.

Looking at the little boy held by the old man, a pair of eyes stared at Luo Chuan and Guan Shan tightly, although curious, but not afraid of life. The old man put him down and asked him to sit at the table obediently to eat, and then let Luo Chuan and them say, "Have the two comrades eaten?" Coarse tea and light rice, if you don't dislike it, let's eat it together, right? I'm in a humble place, so let's go in and sit! ”

Luo Chuan smiled heartily and said, "It's okay, I really like your small table and chair under the tree." Let's just have a few words here, you don't have to bother. ”

"Okay then." The old man moved a small bench for Luo Chuan and Guan Shan, and then said with a kind smile: "This little stool was made by my wife back then!" My sons used it when they were young, and now they use it for their grandchildren, and it's been a bit long! The old man left early, but fortunately I have my little grandson with me. As he spoke, the old man looked at his little grandson who was eating by himself, and wiped the rice from his mouth for him.

"The kid is so cute, what's his name?" Guan Shan asked softly on the side.

"Zhang Quanhui, everyone calls him Xiaohui at home." The old man smiled kindly.

"You have two sons, don't you?" Luo Chuan didn't want to mention this issue, but he knew the purpose of his coming, and sooner or later it was inevitable. He had already lied and concealed the news of Zhang Wen's death, and he could no longer be emotional.

The old man nodded: "Yes, the eldest son Zhang Wen, the younger son Zhang Wu." His father said that this is called both civil and military. I gave birth to Zhang Wu five years after giving birth to Zhang Wen, so the age difference between the two brothers is not too young. Now they are all busy making ends meet outside the home, and they have all moved to the city. I was reluctant to give up this yard or this old tree, so I didn't agree to go with them. No, Zhang Wu often sends children here, and I am very happy to see Xiaohui. The old man was obviously afraid that Luo Chuan would misunderstand the unfilial piety of his two sons, so he left his single mother at home. That's why I deliberately made my position clear, so as not to cause trouble to my sons.

Luo Chuan looked at the naΓ―ve and ignorant Xiaohui, then forced a laugh twice, and said as if gossiping: "Did Zhang Wu send the child over today?" He's not too close from here, is he? It's a hassle to toss back and forth. ”

"It's okay, the kid and I are used to being together. Both of them go to work, so how can they have time to care about Xiaohui. No, it's even earlier today, around five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wu brought Xiaohui here. The child's sleepy little eyes couldn't be opened, and before he could say a few words, he went back to work. Hey, there's no way, life! The old man said as he caressed Xiaohui's soft black hair.

"Around five o'clock? That Zhang Wu also left at five o'clock? He's really working early enough......" Luo Chuan wanted to give the old man more smiles, but he really couldn't smile.

The old man looked at Luo Chuan, his bright eyes seemed to have gone through sixty years of wind and rain, and he was even more able to see through people's hearts. That is the unique wisdom and brilliance in the eyes of the old people.

"The two comrades don't look like the policemen investigating the population, is something wrong with Zhang Wu?" The old man finally broke the situation that Luo Chuan had worked so hard to maintain.

"Why do you ask?" Luo Chuan smiled again, trying to convince the old man that nothing bad had happened.

The old man said: "My son, I know that Zhang Wen will not cause any trouble, just like the names of the two of them, they are really one and one martial artist. Zhang Wen is relatively quiet, rarely has contact with people, has a slow temper, and does not like to get angry. Zhang Wu has a temper and is impulsive, but he is also a good person. So I asked, is something wrong with him? ”

Luo Chuan didn't reply, he didn't know how to tell the old man in front of him, let alone how to tell those terrible facts in front of the child. So in the end, he decided, let's not talk about it yet. Obviously, some disasters in this world are inevitable, but if there is no way to change them, it is probably better to come even a little later.
