Chapter 40: The Cycle of Cause and Effect (2)
Shen Yu saw that they were willing to speak, and then asked bluntly: "I remember you said that Uncle An had been repairing the car that day?" ”
"Yes, that day, Lao Zhai went out with someone to run errands, but when he came back, the community's car happened to break down."
"From what time to what time?"
"It was about five o'clock in the afternoon, Lao An came to the community center to help pick up, but it was always not repaired after a long time, and then it was about less than six o'clock, so he drove the car to the car repair shop, saying that there were all the tools and pits, which was convenient. After that, we all went over there. ”
"I heard that you have been watching him fix the car?"
"Of course, the public stuff, if it is repaired, who will it be?" Aunt Sun said in a loud voice.
Shen Yu suddenly laughed: "I guess, it must be Aunt Zhai who put forward this opinion, right?" ”
Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment, she and Aunt Ding looked at each other, and then looked at Shen Yu, and the expression seemed to say: How do you know?
Shen Yu smiled again and said, "I not only know that Aunt Zhai said this, but I also know that the three of you didn't always watch at the same time that night, but took turns watching Uncle An repair the car, right?" ”
The two aunts nodded, they had mentioned this to Officer Yu before.
"So I want to ask the two of you to confirm that at eight or nine o'clock on the night of the car repair, Aunt Zhai should be on duty, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Aunt Sun hurriedly said, "I still have to go home to help my wife pinch her legs." ”
"I have to go home and put my grandson to sleep." Aunt Sun also hurriedly said, "Shifts, whoever has something to do will go back to work first." Anyway, just leave someone in the shop to keep an eye on. We hurried back until half past nine, and then watched until the early hours of the morning! ”
"Yes, you can't say we're incompetent!" Aunt Ding also added.
"You're both back to the garage after half-past nine? And then Uncle An has been busy in the shop? Did you two see it with your own eyes? ”
"Of course, although we are old, our eyes are not spent!"
Shen Yu looked back at me meaningfully, and I understood what she meant—judging from the inquiry just now, An Qimin's alibi at the time of Du Wanqian's murder was not infallible—Aunt Zhai and An Qiming were both about to receive their certificates, and they were half of their families, so the credibility of her testimony would be greatly reduced—but this could not coincide with the time when the body was dumped.
If that's the case, it's a bit weird. Even if An Qimin killed someone, he didn't have time to throw the body.
However, Shen Yu quickly adjusted from this disappointment. She calmed down and then asked, "Then after you two came back, did you see any changes in Uncle An?" ”
"Change? It doesn't seem to be. Aunt Ding thought with a frown.
"There have been changes, why haven't they changed - when we came back, Lao An's overalls were obviously much cleaner than before, and he also changed into a pair of white gloves. I always do my laundry by hand, and I can tell at a glance - you washing clothes in the washing machine don't pay attention to these things! - Let me tell you, Lao Ding, the washing machine can't be cleaned, and bacteria still grow in the tube after washing! ”
"Who said bacteria are breeding? There is washing machine disinfectant! Do you wash it by hand? Your hand wash is still uneven! Aunt Ding listened unpleasantly and began to ridicule each other.
"Hey, two aunts, let's not talk about washing clothes, let's say Uncle An's clothes that day?"
"That's right, Lao Ding, look at you, let you interrupt the fight, delay the work of the police comrades."
"It's the washing machine you mentioned first!"
"Ouch Lao Ding, why are you unreasonable!"
"How do you speak? I'm the most reasonable person in our community, tell me whose family's affairs are not mediated by me? Who do the neighbors trust when they have something, do they still trust you? ”
I stuck out my tongue at Shen Yu, it seemed that I couldn't ask anything here, and while the two aunts were arguing, we quickly lowered our heads and slipped out. As a result, as soon as she walked out of the door of the community center, Lin Ying's phone chased after her.
"I said, where are you two going?"
Shen Yu took my phone and said to Lin Ying, "Have you searched An Yue's father's car repair shop?" ”
"Of course I searched, but I didn't find anything suspicious, what's wrong? Are you still suspicious of An Qimin? ”
"Yes."
"Is there a new clue?"
"He could be a murderer - did you have a blood trace test at An Qimin's car repair shop?"
"Of course, you have to do your homework. But I didn't find anything abnormal, there was a little bit of blood in the car shop, but considering that the car repair is often rubbed or something, you can't say that there is a little blood stains to say that people kill people, right? ”
"Has An Qimin been to other places since that day?"
"I see what you mean, we did ask the people around him, and he was working in a car repair shop every day, and he didn't have time to go anywhere else, let alone Luqiao Park - hey, I said, where are you?"
Shen Yu suddenly hung up the phone, and she stared at the direction of the parking lot in a daze.
I followed her line of sight, and she was staring at a dilapidated van with the words "Dewdrop Street Community" painted on the side.
You don't have to think much about it to know that it was An Qimin's van car that he repaired for one night.
"At half past nine, the two aunts returned to the car repair shop and found that An Qimin had changed his clothes and gloves, but then he didn't go anywhere else, and no traces were found in the car repair shop - the car was not repaired, so he changed into his work clothes, which means that there were things in the original work clothes that were easy to be discovered, and the murder weapon has not been found until now - you say, where will he hide his things, he must not hide them by his side, then he has long been exposed."
"While I was repairing the car in the pit, I hid it on the chassis of the van!" I pointed to the car and suddenly realized.
"That's right, hehe, since you guessed it, let's go under the car and take a look."
"Me?" I looked at Shen Yu and the dirty and low van, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"What? Do you want me to get in? Shen Yuxing stared at me with wide eyes and asked.
"No, no, no, I'll go."
The two of us walked to the parking lot, Shen Yu looked around at no one, and gave me a look. I gritted my teeth and lay down on the ground, then swung my shoulders and legs and rubbed the ground into it.
The chassis of the van was low, and several times I felt like my forehead was going to rub against the tube on the chassis.
Luckily, I'm still relatively thin, so I didn't have a hard time getting into it.
It was pitch black under the car, and I fumbled in my trouser pocket with my right hand, pulled out my phone, and lit the flashlight on it.
I don't understand mechanics, and I can't understand the structure of the car chassis, but I can tell the fresh and old, because I see that the dirty and dilapidated chassis has a new baffle welded on, which must be the masterpiece of that good night Qimin's car repair.
I tried to pick open the baffle with my hands, but the iron plate was so strong that I shook it for a long time.
I thought about it, so I had to grab one side of the baffle, half-raise my head, shine a mobile phone flashlight on the gap between the baffle and the chassis, and look inside with one eye-
The gap between the baffle and the chassis was narrower and darker, but in that small, dark space, I vaguely saw a bloodstained white glove.
