Leng Tong let Da Leizi come down, and then said, "Yes! No matter what the situation is, how discouraged, depressed, and desperate people are, even if they can't grab the rope, they have to kick their legs a few times before they die, and this force may not be small, there is no confetti or anything like that, and there are no strangulation marks of lateral friction on it, which means that he killed it and hung it up. ”

I also nodded again and again, knowing that Leng Tong was indeed very smart, according to the layer of paper wrapped on this beam, linked to the instinctive reaction before death, I could quickly determine whether he killed or not, this is a typical homicide.

"Xiaoxiao, there are traces of cleaning up in this room." Leng Tong looked at me again at this time and said, "It's not like a person drinking, maybe this is the first scene of the crime." ”

I agree with Leng Tong's statement: "I think so too, and there may be two people who have stayed here." ”

Leng Tong heard me say that there were two more people who stayed here, and immediately said, "You mean the two pairs of dishes and chopsticks outside?" ”

"Yes, I just rinsed it with water, but I didn't wash it." I knew that Leng Tong would notice: "Besides, the stove is high enough, but the deceased is not too short, I am afraid that it is difficult for a person to get a corpse up so easily, even if it is stepping on a chair, it is not so simple." ”

Leng Tong also nodded and said: "Yes, I was also about to say this, this seems to be murder, not suicide at all, and there should be two people." After a while, let's ask Ding Xingliang about his current situation and take a look at Ding Xingliang's living habits. ”

I can also understand Leng Tong's words, so I will verify whether there are two people who have come, although the old lady may not know, but it can also be inferred from Ding Xingliang's living habits, if Ding Xingliang is a very clean person, or a person who lives a very regular life, it means that two people should have stayed here last night.

Team Xing and the others had already gone out, and we followed them after seeing these situations.

Qiao Ju and the others should have asked the old lady, and were talking to Team Xing in the yard: "We also asked, the old lady only knew that someone came last night, but she didn't know who came, his son hasn't come since last night, or in the morning the neighbor wanted to use the car and came in to find Ding Xingliang to go to the county, only to find that Ding Xingliang had hanged himself." ”

We also heard what Qiao Ju said, but we didn't want to know that, so we went into the house on the right.

As soon as I came in, I knew that the old lady could not give us any clues, because the old lady did not live in this room outside, but in the room inside the kitchen.

Before I could go inside, I heard the cry of the old lady inside, and the consolation of the neighbors.

We are also very helpless in this situation, an old lady who can't get off the kang, and her son is dead, and I don't know if there are any children, if not, it will be troublesome.

After coming in, I can roughly guess that there should indeed be two people in Ding Xingliang's room, because this old lady who can't get off the kang is served very clean by Ding Xingliang, there is no smell in the room, and the bedding is also very clean.

Leng Tong should have thought of it too, glanced at me, and said to the crying old lady on the kang: "Old man, don't cry, since the incident has happened, we need to know more clues in order to solve the case, and we also suspect that your son did not commit suicide." ”

The old lady glanced up at Leng Tong, then wiped a handful of tears and said, "You're right, my son is very filial, even if it's for me, he won't commit suicide, what do you want to know?" It's a pity, why can't I walk with my legs? ”

Leng Tong's pretty face squeezed out two small dimples: "Old man, you must have heard the sound last night, right?" What time is it and how many people are going to your son's room? ”

"It's less than twelve o'clock, and my son is busy every day until half past ten before he comes back." The old lady immediately said, "I only heard my son's voice, someone should have come back, but I didn't hear anyone else talking, this person should be the one who killed my son!" ”

"Well, that's possible." Leng Tong then asked, "Then your son's life should be very regular, right?" Do you wash the dishes after eating? ”

"Yes, yes, lately, it's been late." The old lady choked up and said, "I can't go down to the ground, I really don't know, maybe I won't brush the dishes when I'm tired, right?" ”

Leng Tong looked at me, but we couldn't be sure by the old lady's words, if it was a person, if it was very tall and powerful, it was possible.

Leng Tong also knew that the old lady couldn't provide too many clues, so she asked a few middle-aged women next to her: "You should all be neighbors, right?" Did you see or hear someone coming back with Ding Xingliang last night? ”

"Nope!" One of the women in her fifties shook her head and said: "This season, everyone is on the hot kang early, if it is not necessary, no one will go out, plus two people in the village have been hanged a few days ago, everyone is very afraid, after half past eight, there is no one outside." ”

"You may not know, and you may not believe, this village is not clean!" An elderly lady next to her said with a look of fear: "This village hangs people for no reason, that is, the hanged ghost comes to catch the substitute, the old people understand, you are young, you may not have heard of it." ”

Leng Tong looked at me, and I shook my head helplessly, older people may be like this, thinking that they know more, and there are some things that can't be explained, so they can only turn around and come out.

Qiao Ju and a person named Section Chief Meng had already gotten into the car, and the Xing team seemed to be in that car, and we didn't have anything to ask about it, so we generally knew a little about it, so we got in the car and followed them, and it was estimated that we also went to the village committee to discuss.

Leng Tong got into the car and said, "Xiaoxiao, this is hung up after killing, is this certain?" ”

"No problem at all." I immediately said: "You can see from the paper-wrapped beams that it is impossible for the deceased to struggle without even a little wear. ”

"Inferred from Ding's mother's words, the dishes and chopsticks may not be able to explain the problem, and it is understandable to think about it, it is normal to collect the car so late, and the dishes are not washed overnight." Leng Tong thought for a while and then said: "But Ding's mother also said that someone has come, and this person is the murderer of Ding Xingliang, can you be roughly sure?" ”

I thought about it and said: "We have determined that he killed him, and the time of death was between twelve o'clock and one o'clock last night, so the person who came back with him is likely to be the murderer who killed Ding Xingliang." ”

Leng Tong saw that I gave a positive answer, and then said: "When we arrived, several hours had passed since the time of reporting, and the people from the county bureau must investigate some of the situation, let's go back and listen to it, and then discuss, but I want to ······"

"What does it have to do with the previous two cases?" That's what I thought in my heart, seeing that Leng Tong hesitated slightly, I asked: "It's all suicide, and it's all hanging, is this the reason?" ”

"Yes!" Leng Tongqiao had a little joy on her face: "That's what I think, if you want to say that they offend the same person, I don't think it maybe, but I vaguely feel a little involved, we have to take a look at the situation of the first two cases." ”

I also continued: "Yes, and whether they have enemies or not, I think it is more likely to be killed, although Ding Xingliang is a taxi driver, he may have some money, not too much, and his family has not been turned over." ”

Leng Tong grinned: "That's right, let's go together again, when we first solved the case, we always got dizzy when we came into contact with this case, and after the forestry family building in front of us, we should also improve a little, see if we can solve the case quickly this time!" ”

Da Leizi laughed in front: "Listening to the two of you, the case seems to be about to be solved?" ”

Leng Tong and I couldn't help laughing, these are our analysis based on the scene, after all, there are no witnesses, some things are still difficult to say, but I feel that the cases in the village are better than those in the city, and every household basically knows each other, and some things can't be hidden.

The car of Qiao Ju and others in front of him really didn't leave the village, and drove directly to a compound at the head of the village, which should be the village committee, and we have handled cases here in the past, which is much more convenient than returning to the county, so it takes an hour's drive.

Qiao Ju took everyone to a spacious office and sat down, and then said to a member of the village committee at the door: "You can help us contact Village Chief He again, there is a lot of work that needs his assistance, so it can be more efficient." ”

At the door was a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old eldest sister, who nodded and said: "I have already contacted the village chief's family, made phone calls, and shouted on the radio, but Village Chief He has not heard back, maybe he went to the county, right?" ”

Qiao Ju nodded, and then said to Section Chief Meng beside him: "Let's analyze the situation first, it just so happens that the people who help the city bureau are also here, to determine whether it is suicide, and to give an explanation to the villagers as soon as possible, this time we must be accurate, lest rumors and barbarians fly all over the sky and get it to the city." ”

Chief Meng thought for a while and said, "I think it's more likely to be suicide." ”

"Well, then tell me your reasons." Qiao Ju was also anxious, looked at Section Chief Meng and said, "There must always be reasonable and convincing in order to make the villagers believe." ”

"Judging from the situation at the scene, there are no signs of a struggle in the room on the left." Section Chief Meng continued: "And I took a closer look in the morning, if you step on the stove in that place, you can hang yourself, if you kill him, then a person can't do it unless he is very powerful." ”

Leng Tong and I glanced at each other, and felt that this Section Chief Meng had indeed undergone some analysis, but in the most critical details, what he said was still not in place.

Qiao Ju asked very calmly: "So have you thought about the murderer?" Judging from a simple investigation, Ding Xingliang had no reason to commit suicide, and someone followed him back. ”

"I've thought about it, and I don't think it's very likely, because the old lady didn't hear the other people talking, and if the two people came back, the old lady should be able to hear it." Section Chief Meng thought about it and said: "As for the reason for suicide, it may be that we didn't dig deeply, and that person is a debt collector?" Ding Xingliang himself is also under great pressure and may think of suicide. ”
