Chapter 10: To the Cripple's House
Speaking of the last sentence, the cripple's voice was obviously a little jealous.
Thinking about what he said, Tang Shanwen's frightened look when he recalled came to mind, the cripple was right, before Tang Shanwen died, he saw something extremely terrifying.
Shen Yaozhi continued his words and said: "In this way, the cause of his death is not a car accident. ”
"Probably not," the cripple recalled, "the car was fine, and there were a few large open wooden boxes next to it, and I didn't know what those boxes had contained, and they smelled so bad that they were smoking, and I didn't dare to stay long, and when I saw his wallet fall to the ground, I took it away......"
At the end of the sentence, the cripple's voice weakened.
Shen Yaozhi's eyebrows were folded into a straight line, staring at the cripple and said, "You took the wallet, and you were afraid that the police would suspect that you had killed someone, so you didn't do anything, moved the scene, and set it on fire?" ”
"No, I didn't," the cripple shook his head in fright, "The scene was fine when I left, but later I heard that there was a fire here, but the location has changed, and those big wooden boxes are gone, so I feel that there is something evil." Since that night, I've had nightmares every night, and I can't stand it anymore, so I came here to worship. ”
After the cripple finished speaking, Shen Yaozhi looked at the rut marks and the location of those boxes, and asked the cripple to point out the location of Tang Shanwen's body.
"Right here!"
Shen Yaozhi walked over to the place he pointed, squatted on the ground thoughtfully, I looked at the grass, and sure enough, there were some traces of blood drying up on it.
Could it be ......
Someone killed Tang Shanwen and moved the scene of the killing?
"Captain Shen, you have to believe me, I really didn't kill people and set fires, you know, I have been caught by you a few times for stealing, but I have never done anything murderous......"
Just as the cripple was babbling to explain, people from the Public Security Bureau also came, and Shen Yaozhi greeted them and asked them to take the finger back for testing.
The cripple took Tang Shanwen's wallet and took it back to make a record.
……
"Enron, where did you go early in the morning?"
"Wake up early, just go around," this matter is a little strange, I don't want my grandmother to worry, so I just made an excuse.
In the evening, my grandmother sat at the counter, her eyes were looking out, and she was still muttering, "It's weird" and something like that, and I couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, are you waiting for someone?" ”
Grandma said, "I'm waiting for the cripple." ”
"Cripple?" There is such a cripple in the village, what is grandma waiting for him?
"This cripple didn't know what was going on, so he came to knock on the door early in the morning, said that he wanted to buy paper money, and bought two packs of cigarettes by the way, and when he left, he was in a hurry and pulled down all the cigarettes." Grandma pointed to the two boxes of cigarettes on the counter and said, "No, when he comes to pick it up, it's dark and no one comes, so I wonder if I should send it to him." ”
"Grandma, I'll go!" I offered to suggest that he was the last person to see Tang Shanwen, and maybe I could learn some other clues from him.
I went out with a cigarette and went straight to the lame's house.
He was taken back to the bureau by Shen Yaozhi to make a record, and he didn't know if he could come back at this time.
The cripple lived in the east end of the village, the gate was pasted with talisman paper, and the house was still lit, so I knocked on the door and shouted "Uncle Cripple", and there was movement inside.
I waited for a while and heard footsteps.
"Who?"
The cripple asked, but he didn't open the door, and I replied: "Uncle cripple, I'm Tang Anran, you pulled down the cigarette, and grandma asked me to bring it to you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and the cripple leaned out half of his body, took a cigarette from my hand and wanted to close the door, I quickly stopped it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cripple, I have walked all the way, I am a little thirsty, can I drink a glass of water at your house?" ”
The cripple frowned, seemed unwilling, and glanced left and right, which allowed me to enter.
The cripple walked in on his own, and I followed behind, the room was very shabby, things were messily arranged, and there was a musty smell wafting through the air.
The cripple carried the kettle in his hand and muttered, "No water." Then he said to me, "Sit down, I'll boil some hot water." ”
The cripple walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "Girl, I'm a bit of a mess in this house, don't run around." ”
I hummed, and when he was out, I looked around, the light was dim, and it was covered with cobwebs. Directly opposite the doorway is a statue of a god, and there are fortune-telling things next to it. I lit the incense, and as soon as I inserted it, I heard a noise in the room.
Someone in there?
