Chapter 14: Vanilla's Testimony
Running back to the small bridge, the first thing Xu Tian did was to check the underside of the bridge, but to Xu Tian's surprise, there were no traces, and there were no traces of friction behind Xu Sanye's body. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"It shouldn't be! There are all traces of it, what is the rope used for? Xu Tian squatted on the small bridge and looked at the position of the corpse, and all the reasoning just now was overturned.
Xu Tian was deeply distressed, his head that had not slept all night was already as sticky as paste, what was the rope used for the two murders? The criminal will definitely not make an unnecessary move, whether it is the shout when Xu Fugui was killed, or the rope around Xu Sanye's waist, it must have its effect, Xu Tian knows this.
There was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, Xu Tian slowly turned his head and saw the energetic vanilla walking over.
"Vanilla...... What are you doing here? β
"Don't call me such a dirty name, okay? My name is Siyan, Wang Siyan. β
"How did you synthesize the tape? Did you record that 'sudden' sound when you synthesized the recording? β
Hearing Xu Tian ask, Vanilla was obviously a little surprised, but Vanilla was not surprised.
"It's worthy of Xu Tian, the person who came back to you to help solve the case is me, but the 'sudden' voice was not recorded by me, it should be the voice of the day of the murder twenty years ago."
"Sure enough, Officer Zhang's courier was done by you, right?"
"That's right, but I'd like to hear your reasoning, and if you tell all the details 100 percent, I'll tell you everything about twenty years ago.
Xu Tian was stunned for a moment, but soon fell silent, closed his eyes and smoothed out all the plots, and began his reasoning show.
"It's very simple to want to drop Officer Zhang's courier, as long as vanilla himself is a courier, the two couriers I received that day were notified by text message to pick up at the doorman of the community, from beginning to end I have not seen the courier himself, the most exposed point is that the SMS suffix in the delivery is clearly written, courier Wang Siyan, you can't control the text messages sent by the courier company system."
"I was negligent, but with the SMS suffix removed, can you still infer that it was me?"
"It's very simple, because your surname is Wang, in this village, everyone keeps silent about the case of Hongmei's death twenty years ago, so the person who sent me the tape can only be someone outside the village, and Officer Zhang's courier has been returned by you, so except for Officer Zhang, only you, Hongmei's own niece, can do this."
"But I miscalculated."
"You shouldn't do it too much, the courier that returned to Officer Zhang is to prevent Officer Zhang from getting involved, right? But you didn't expect that there were murders in the village one after another, and as the security police of the village, Officer Zhang would be involved no matter what. β
"It's all that hateful murderer, otherwise, just ask you to come back and uncover the murder twenty years ago, it's been the third day since you came back, do you have any eyebrows?"
"About the whole process of Hongmei's murder twenty years ago, you'd better tell me the truth, and what happened in this village twenty-eight years ago."
"I don't know that much, I don't know anything about twenty-eight years ago, I only know what happened twenty years ago, in fact, I was there at the time, do you think my cousin who has been in the mountains for eight years will use a tape recorder?"
"Sure enough, I knew that there must be an outsider operating the tape recorder, and it turned out to be you."
"I was also out of curiosity, when I carried a tape recorder full of four batteries up the mountain to live, my cousin liked to record and play with me, that day I got up early in the morning to go to the woods to record, when I went back it was almost noon, my cousin stopped me from going back to the house, we squatted in the grass outside, almost noon, your grandmother walked out of the house. After two or three hours, the old village chief came, and my cousin and I heard outside that my aunt asked the old village chief to take my cousin away, and it happened very quickly, when our three children didn't have time to say goodbye, and the old village chief forcibly took my cousin away. β
"And then? Xu Fugui is here? β
"Yes, like my cousin's testimony, Xu Fugui didn't even enter the house, but saw my aunt covered in blood at the door, and then ran away screaming."
"Wait! That's not what Officer Zhang showed me in the transcript, it says that Xu Fugui entered the house, are you sure Xu Fugui didn't enter the house? β
"I'm sure no, maybe my cousin remembered it wrong!"
"Unlikely, right? You're a year younger than me, and I'm supposed to be the same age as your cousin, and since you remember it so clearly now, your cousin shouldn't be mistaken. β
"You're so naΓ―ve, don't you know that every child's development is different? And my cousin has been in the mountains for eight years, do you think my cousin's intellectual development is good, or my intellectual development is better? β
"Did you two keep an eye on the house all the time?"
"That's not true, my aunt never let us in, my cousin and I stayed outside until the villagers came, and we were still recording during the period, and that's when my cousin's testimony was recorded."
"This can explain the problem, your memory should be correct, your cousin's testimony is all correct, the most important point is that Hongmei didn't let you into the house, what does this mean?"
"Could it be...... Was there anyone else in the house at the time? Vanilla's whole body shook, from the back of her head to the soles of her feet, and a terrifying atmosphere swept through her body.
"It must be so, you said that Xu Fugui was scared away without entering the house, but your cousin's testimony said that Xu Fugui came out after entering the house, I think that the mysterious person who had been in the house at that time must have run out after Xu Fugui, and your cousin must have regarded both of them as Xu Fugui."
"The person who was in the house all the time was the murderer, it must be so." Vanilla shouted.
"Maybe the murderer thought that Xu Fugui saw him at that time, so he chased him out, but he didn't expect that the army of villagers behind him followed closely behind Xu Fugui, so the murderer failed to attack Xu Fugui at that time."
"Now I have to ask the old village chief, and there are a few questions that must be asked."
"I know what you're asking, the people who didn't participate in the villagers' collective climb to the mountain at that time must be the murderer, right?"
"It's too early to make a conclusion, and it can only be said that he is a suspect, at least the person who did not go up the mountain with the villagers at that time is very suspicious."
Xu Tian and Vanilla just wanted to start, suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound from the other side of the mountain, at the entrance to the village, the mountain road collapsed, all the soil on both sides was poured on the mountain road into the village, a landslide occurred outside the village, the only entrance and exit of the village was blocked, two county public security policemen and a forensic doctor were shocked, and the three people were blocked outside the mountain just about to enter the mountain.
