Chapter 148: The Suspect Who Escaped
"Sure enough, this case is related to marriage, what is the reason why the old grandmother is dissatisfied with the marriage on the island?" Xu Tian asked.
"All the cause and effect come from the previous feudal marriage on the island, and speaking of which, this matter is still the bane planted by Commander Fang." Yu Yi said.
"What do you say? Does this case have anything to do with Commander Fang? Xu Tian asked in surprise.
"If it weren't for this connection, I wouldn't have brought you back to solve this case, this small village was established by some villagers of Caogang Village, and the two major families of Caogang Village are the descendants of Commander Fang, there must be some kind of connection between them." Yu Yi said.
"And what exactly is this connection?" Xu Tian asked.
"My findings are not 100% clear, but the truth is correct, but my findings lack a very important witness." Yu Yi said.
"Granny?" Xu Tian asked.
"When we leave the island, the first person we will visit will be Grandma." Yu Yi said.
"Then tell me about your findings!" Xu Tian said.
"First of all, the case that happened in the ancestral hall, the young man who died in a row within half a month was the fuse, and I was also in the village when the case occurred, including Mr. Xu, and some police officers were also installed in this small village." Yu Yi said.
"Yingfeng's father and daughter are also from the police, right?" Xu Tian asked.
"You guessed it right, it can be said that the police had completely controlled the small village at that time, but they still couldn't prevent the murder from happening. After the first murder, as a free man, I went deep into the ancestral hall to investigate, and at that time I did not find any clues about the murderer, and during my investigation, a second murder soon occurred. The same young man who was about to get married, like the first young man to die, they all died on the stage in the backyard of the ancestral hall. After two murders, the police completely focused on the ancestral hall, but within a few days, the third murder occurred, and it was still the same place. Yu Yi said helplessly.
"After the third murder, the police went completely deep into the ancestral hall, right?" Xu Tian asked.
"It can be said that almost every night there are people secretly staring at the stage in the backyard of the ancestral hall, and no one is allowed to approach the backyard except for the grandmother every day, and the police of the town police station are also cooperating with us to investigate this case, so our police force is completely sufficient. But unfortunately, the police officers who stayed up all night staring at the backyard of the ancestral hall failed to prevent the fourth case from happening, and half a month after the first murder, the fourth murder happened under the eyes of the police. Yu Yi said.
"This is a blatant provocation to the police, but I always feel as if I have heard of the last murder case you mentioned, which is very similar to an old case I heard about in the northern scenic area before, and it was also under the noses of the police, and a family slipped away overnight." Xu Tian said.
"I know the case you mentioned, I think that although the case that happened in the ancestral hall is not necessarily related to the ruling Tai Sui, these four murder cases can definitely be connected with the story of the ruling Tai Sui, at least there is some subtle connection between them." Yu Yi said.
"I wonder how the last murder in the backyard of the ancestral hall came under the noses of the police." Xu Tian asked.
"The day of the murder was also at night, at 1 a.m., and for the autopsies of the previous three cases, the fourth homicide was two to three hours earlier than the first three homicides. On that day, there were three police officers in the backyard of the ancestral hall, two of whom were police officers dispatched by the town's police station, and one senior police officer was one of our people. Two police officers from the town's police station were staring at the bright spot, and they were sitting in the audience in the backyard of the ancestral hall. Our men were watching in the dark, crouching in the shadows at the base of the wall. To be honest, according to our reactions at the time, the two police officers in the town did not pay attention to this case at all, although they also did their duty, but compared to us, the efficiency and methods of handling the case were far from us, before the crime, our people had been staring at the stage, and the two town police officers were leaning against each other and napping. At one o'clock in the morning, the police officer hiding in the shadows saw the victim jump in through the back wall, and the sound of the victim landing on the ground woke up the two police officers who were napping. Just when the two police officers who had just been woken up wanted to arrest the victim, the sound of singing suddenly came from inside the ancestral hall, and the two police officers who realized that something was wrong immediately diverted their attention, and they quickly ran to the ancestral hall. So at this time, the police officer hiding in the dark has realized that something is wrong, just when the police officer in the dark wanted to chase the victim, suddenly someone attacked him from behind, just like that, after the police officer who was attacked woke up, the two police officers who ran to the ancestral hall had also run back with a PA equipment, and the victim on the stage was dead at this time, and the death was exactly the same as the first three murders. Yu Yi said.
"It sounds like an accomplice, but there could be only one murderer." Xu Tian said.
"The fourth case is not without clues, we tested the fingerprints on the amplifier equipment, but unfortunately, when we transported the amplifier back to the inland for inspection, it was already the afternoon of the second day of the crime, during this period we collected the fingerprints of the whole village, and after the fingerprint samples were sent back to the inland for comparison, it was already the early morning of the third day. Because too much time has passed since the crime, the suspect has slipped out of the village. Yu Yi said.
"You found the suspect?" Xu Tian asked.
Unfortunately, the fingerprints on the PA were those of a young man in the village, who was also planning to get married in the near future. But the reason why the young man slipped away from the village was because he was afraid that he would be killed, which was understandable, after all, the four people who died were all young men who were about to get married, so the young man was afraid. Yu Yi said.
"Did the police arrest the young man who slipped away?" Xu Tian asked.
"Things didn't go so well, the young man who slipped away disappeared." Yu Yi said.
"Missing? What's going on? Is there a basis? Xu Tian asked.
"According to the police investigation, on the night when the young man slipped away, a merchant ship passed by the wharf in Lijia Village, and the staff on the merchant ship provided testimony. Yu Yi said.
