"How attentive." I listened to Brother Chen Hu's narration and asked.

"The people in my hometown didn't believe it at all when they heard about Wang Chengshun's cheating, they all said that he was a good person, very good to his family, and it was impossible to cheat, and some said that his wife wanted to frame him and took a fancy to his property, in short, no one doubted Wang Chengshun's character."

"In this way, what kind of person was Wang Chengshun when he was a child?"

"This is also a brief understanding, Wang Chengshun is not the kind of person who is particularly good at learning, but it is not bad, it has always been decent, and there are no characteristics, it did not leave any impression on teachers and classmates, but he also has a sister in his hometown, his sister got married in his hometown a few years ago, he not only paid a lot of money to help his sister build a house, but also decorated it himself, after all, he did this, and no matter who had a happy event in his family before, it was the child who was admitted to a good university, or a relative gave birth to a child or something, He sent tens of thousands of dollars to his family, and he didn't hesitate at all. ”

"It's so good to the family, why don't you be kind to this cousin, even if you don't give money, you can help introduce a job so that he has a way out, so I don't care?"

"I didn't tell you this yesterday, mainly because he didn't like this cousin since he was a child, when he was a child, this cousin always caused trouble in the village, and it is said that it is very bad, I heard that when I am an adult, I peek at other women taking a bath, and now the reputation is that Wang Chengshun is very good, Wang Kun is very bad, and when it comes to Wang Kun, even his mother is very angry."

"When did this Wang Kun come to Sucheng?"

"I've been here for a few years, and as soon as I came, I messed with idle people in society, oh yes, this news is important, Wang Kun has a detention record, and more than once, he has followed the bastards in society to cause trouble everywhere, and many police officers know him and deal with him."

"What about gambling?"

"He went to some small stores in disguise, serious business during the day, and the basement was full of people at night, it is estimated that he was dyed with those bastards, although the gambling money in those stores is not big, the highest is not more than five hundred, but there are many people, in the past, Wang Chengshun also gave him some living expenses, and he squandered it with his backhand, and then he didn't give it, and I don't know where he got the money to live, and the rest don't know yet, I'm waiting to check it today."

"In this way, a person with a very bad reputation should be easily regarded as a suspect."

"It can't be said that the current investigation has only found him, and the rest are not known yet, and there may be other suspects."

At this time, the proprietress brought breakfast over, still the same wooden plate, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Let's discuss the case again, can you change the topic in the future, I'm afraid you will scare people away." ”

"It's not work, and you should get used to it after all this time, hehe." Brother Chen Hu smiled plainly.

I gulped down the wontons, and said at the same time: "By the way, Brother Chen Hu, Du Xun and they have all checked." ”

"Ah, after checking, we looked for people who attended the party with Du Xun at the time, they all said that they saw Du Xun that night, during the period of less than one o'clock, they only left for less than thirty minutes, and there were a lot of people who went home to get things halfway, so they didn't care, the place where they met was in the restaurant not far from Du Xun's house, the kind of private one, I checked the monitoring, Du Xun went out once at midnight forty-five, and then came back at almost twenty, what they said was completely true."

"What about Du Xun's girlfriend?"

"Do you still remember the neighbor couple who loves to watch football, they were watching the football game at one o'clock that night, and then Meng Tingting took her best friend to their house to take a bath, because the two of them were ready to sleep, but the water heater at the best friend's house suddenly broke, so I went to the neighbor to take a bath, and it was Meng Tingting who took a bath, her best friend had washed it before, but she knocked on the door with her best friend, and then waited for her at home."

"So the alibi of these people has been confirmed."

"I didn't think there was a problem with them, didn't I do so much to narrow the scope?"

I used a notebook to record the timeline that Brother Chen Hu said, and after seeing it, Brother Chen Hu said while eating: "So carefully, do you want to crack their alibi?" ”

"I don't mean that, but my sister's case reminded me that no matter whether there is a suspicion or not, you can't ignore it before solving the case, my sister's case is that the previous police investigation went in the wrong direction, and the result was a mistake after mistake, if it wasn't for the final finding of the point, forcing the murderer to turn himself in, otherwise this case will have to be put aside for a while."

"You're worried that this case will go in the wrong direction?"

"It's better to have one more way back than nothing."

"Okay, with such a meticulous person, I don't have to worry about not being able to solve the case." Chen Hu smiled and took a sip of soup, as if he had seen the day when the case was solved.

After breakfast, Brother Chen Hu took me to find Wang Kun, and on the way he said seriously: "When you see Wang Kun, don't talk yet, he seems to have a bad temper, I will shock him first and defeat him psychologically." ”

"Is it that scary?" I wondered, "He's a suspect anyway." ”

"Eh, don't think so, a lot of people in mixed society are like this, it's quite horizontal, in short, stabilize the scene first, if everyone is calm, it's so convenient to have a conversation."

I nodded, and when I came to Wang Kun's residence, I found that his situation could be said to be extremely bad, it was completely a broken shed built casually, there were many big holes in the roof, the house was very small, a bed that was about to collapse at any time accounted for almost a quarter, and there were no sheets, only a somewhat moldy pillow, and some small basins in the corner, which should be used to catch the water leaking from this roof. And Wang Kun's style is completely the feeling of living here for a long time, with unkempt hair, a beard that has not been repaired much, and his face is very dirty, as if he has not washed his face for a long time. Not to mention the clothes, there are only a few of them, and they are covered in mud.

I saw him holding the shovel that had mixed the cement in one hand, and said hoarsely: "What are you looking for me to do, I will have to start work later, and I won't get thirty yuan if it's late." ”

I looked at his current appearance, and I felt a little distressed, it seems that the police have very little investigation of him, but I didn't expect him to be so miserable now.

"My name is Chen Hu, from the First Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, you are Wang Kun." Chen Hu took out his documents and said lightly.

"The police are looking for me? I don't mess with those people, why are you still pestering me. ”

"It's not for this matter, your cousin Wang Chengshun died in his home at one o'clock in the morning last Sunday, you already know it."

"Huh?" He was a little surprised and said, "He, he's dead?" Killed by whom! ”

I looked at his surprised expression and thought to myself, I didn't even know that my cousin had an accident, and I hadn't been in touch for a long time.

Brother Chen Hu sighed and said, "The suspect has not been found yet, but as far as we know, your relationship with the deceased is not so good, and he has completely given up on you, is that so?" ”

"He, he didn't care about me for a long time, by the way, how much money can I share if he dies." Wang Kun pointed to himself with both hands and suddenly said a little excitedly.

"I'm sorry, you're not his immediate family, so you can't get any money under normal circumstances, unless there is a will, or there is a legal heir who has a bad circumstance to disqualify the inheritance, anyway, to put it bluntly, you don't have to think about your cousin's money, it has nothing to do with you."

"Ahh He was very disappointed and said, "This person, ungrateful, if it weren't for me, would he be so capable?" ”

Hearing this, Brother Chen Hu and I were a little puzzled, it seems that there is a story behind this, Wang Kun stuck the shovel heavily on the ground and said: "At the beginning, he said that he wanted to work hard in the big city, and then I wanted to make a fortune with it, and I also ran over, at that time we were still young, we all grew up in the village and had never seen the world, but he lost all the 20,000 yuan that his family had made up by smashing pots and selling iron, and I saw that it was not good to talk to him, so I went back and was afraid of the laughter of my family, so I decided to work hard by myself, and then I worked as a bodyguard in a hotel. ”

"Bodyguards? Do you still have the ability? Brother Chen Hu asked in surprise.

"I've been running around and playing since I was a child, I don't have any skills, I have this brute force, and when I was the kind of security guard, but no one took more, and then there was a time when someone in the hotel made a disturbance, and I also went up to fight, and as a result, there was a person who dressed like the boss and said that I wanted me to mix with him, and then I realized that they were almost mixed with the underworld, but I didn't understand at the time, so I followed them everywhere to make trouble, and often entered the bureau, one day I found out that my cousin was beaten."

"How did you find out?"

"It's that someone posted a video of a fight on the Internet, and a person who mixed together showed me that there was a fight, and I found out that it was my cousin, he borrowed a loan shark, and was chased and beaten, I thought that after all, it was my cousin, and there were no relatives in this city, so I took my brother to beat up those loan sharks, and then my brother didn't know how to do it, and the more he did it, the bigger he did, he actually paid off the loan sharks he borrowed before, of course, they were afraid of us at that time, and they didn't dare to raise interest again. Anyway, I paid it off later, and then opened my own company. ”

"And then your cousin will help you?"

"This was almost a year ago, when he got married, and he became generous, I heard that he often gave money and gifts to his family, and he also helped me, but then he stopped helping, he must have looked down on me, and he didn't want to think about who helped him in the first place, so that he has today."

"Didn't your cousin give up on you because of gambling and squandering the money he gave you?"

"Then I stopped gambling, really, I gambled so many times, someone lied to me that I could make a fortune, but after suffering a few losses, I didn't believe it anymore, and I didn't continue to gamble."

"Where were you from 10 p.m. last Saturday to 3 a.m. on Sunday." Brother Chen Hu took out a notebook and said.

"Last Saturday, I finished my work at 11 o'clock at night, and I was almost exhausted, so I didn't eat dinner and went to sleep."

"Who can prove it?"

"Who can prove this place?" He said anxiously.

"Has anyone contacted you? Or tell you something about your cousin? ”

He hesitated for a moment and replied, "No, I don't have a mobile phone, how can anyone contact me." ”

"Then when your cousin gave up on you, did you go to his house to make trouble?"

"When he didn't give up on me, he invited me to his house, at that time I wasn't so miserable now, at least I could dress like a person, and it was only then that I learned that he married such a young daughter-in-law, much younger than me."

"When you see his wife, do you have any thoughts in your heart?" I suddenly asked curiously.

"What thoughts, I'm not good at lust and I'm not good at prostitution, what can I think."

When he finished saying this, I heard Brother Chen Hu say in a low voice: "You don't have that condition if you want to prostitute." ”

"How long has it been since you've been home?" I looked into his eyes and asked comfortingly.

"It's been more than ten years since I came out, and I haven't been back." Speaking of this, he also lowered his head, and when he came to such a big city, his only relative also abandoned him, so that he became in such a miserable situation as he is now.

Chen Hu and I didn't speak, just looked at him like this, a once wild and uninhibited person, but now he is like a shell without dignity, living a life with up and down, Brother Chen Hu called me aside and whispered: "No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a murderer, and now like this, no one will take advantage of him." ”

"I think so too, he's a complete ruffian in terms of information, but now it seems that he is quite pitiful."

I looked back at him and saw him looking at the construction site that had already begun, his eyes full of anticipation, maybe this period of dialogue had deprived him of today's rations.

Chen Hu also found out this, took out two hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, walked over and handed him and said: "Eat a full meal first, then buy a decent clothes, and go to this place when you are done, this is the company opened by my colleague's classmates, they have less security guards there, take care of food and housing, you are talking to them about the monthly salary when the time comes, make some money and go home, it is already difficult for the city to accept you, you will only work harder in the future here, and you will be bullied." ”

Wang Kun took the money and the business card given to him by Brother Chen Hu, and bowed excitedly: "Thank you, thank you, comrade police, I promise that I will not commit any trouble in the future." ”

After speaking, Chen Hu and I left this place, and Brother Chen Hu said while driving: "Because he has no culture, he can only struggle at the bottom of the city, but it is precisely because he has no culture that he has not been deceived by the falsehood of gambling, if he is really infected with gambling, it is estimated that there will be no turning back at all." ”

"Yes, but you are also really atmospheric, you will give 200 yuan without saying a word, and your monthly salary is only how much."

"It has nothing to do with that, he has already repented, although he is so old now, as long as there is a sign of remorse, he should be given a chance to start over, besides, it is impossible for a person like him to be a murderer."

"Hey, what a poor person, living in that kind of place for a long time, and still retaining the expectation of life, normal people can't stand it for a long time."

"yes, if he could have understood this as a child, he might have been more successful than his cousin."

"Then where to check next, another person has been excluded."

"Let's go back to the bureau first, and see how the other colleagues are doing."

I nodded in agreement, and through the clues I got so far, I am now back to the situation where there is no suspect, thinking of this, I suddenly have a feeling of uneasiness again, will this case also return to the old path of my sister's case.

After arriving at the police station, we met Captain Zhou, who said to Chen Hu while looking at the documents in his hand: "Wang Kun is not suspicious?" ”

"Well, his current life is not to mention how bitter it is, if he commits a crime, even if it is revenge, he will take away some valuable things, and he just has some complaints about the deceased, and he has not yet reached that very angry state, I gave him two hundred yuan and introduced him to a job, at least he is not the kind of person who is hopeless."

Captain Zhou glanced at Chen Hu and said suspiciously: "Give back two hundred yuan, why do you say it in such detail, you won't let me reimburse you." ”

"How can you?" Chen Hu laughed awkwardly, "Just talk about it, don't care so much." ”

"I think you did it on purpose, don't ask me for this money, I don't care, I didn't ask you to give money to help others." After saying that, Team Zhou walked to his office.

"I didn't mean that, Team Zhou, what are you running?" Chen Hu said with a smile in the back.
