Chapter 9: Half a Shoe Print

And it seems that my dad has more money, I asked my mom what happened, and my mom told me that it was because my dad bought a lottery ticket and won more than 200,000 yuan, and I was very happy. But when I went to ask my father, I was inexplicably scolded by him, and I was not allowed to mention it in front of outsiders in the future.

In the following ten years, my family's economic situation has been getting better and better. However, my father's mood was much worse than before, and he often sighed inexplicably, and he began to believe in Buddhism, and every month on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, he had to go to the Guanyin Hall in the town to make incense. Sometimes when I see him drunk, I will tell my mother that he has always been innocent all his life, but he did one thing that he regrets for the rest of his life. I only vaguely heard him say, 'I didn't expect that person to be so ruthless, I thought he was just stealing the lottery ticket' or something. Later, when I asked my mother, she scolded me in the same way, and I was not allowed to mention it again.

Since he didn't want to say, I won't ask from now on. But since this year, my dad's body began to feel unwell, and when I went to the hospital for a check, I found that he was already in the terminal stage of cancer, and it was not a few months away. When I heard the news, my father just said, 'Retribution, retribution.' ’

I asked my father what he meant by that, and what he had been blaming himself for all these years. My father told me, 'Your father and I have been innocent all my life, and I have been poor several times, but I am not ashamed of it. But there is one thing that I have been regretting for 16 years. ’”

"Lottery," Han Yuchao extracted the key words from his words, "Could it be that Ye Zhibin and his wife bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot, and your father was dissatisfied after seeing it and wanted to steal the lottery ticket, so he set fire to kill people." ”

Lin Mingkai paused and continued: "I don't know about this, but I believe that my father is not a murderer. Officer Han, when I was sorting through my father's belongings during this time, I found a diary. He wrote down everything he wanted to say in a diary. It was only then that I remembered that in the past few months, as long as he was feeling better, he would have written something alone in the house, and as a result, he was exhausted, which only exacerbated the deterioration of his condition, otherwise he would not have left so early. ”

As he spoke, Lin Mingkai took out a diary: "Everything my father wants to say is in it, but I have a request, I hope you can do it." ”

Han Yuchao nodded in agreement.

"If my father was really a murderer and did something wrong. The rest of his life was spent in self-blame, and he is no longer there. After all, our country pays attention to 'the dead are great', I hope you can still protect his reputation, don't make this diary public, and don't hype it up, okay," Lin Mingkai's eyes and tone were pleading.

Han Yuchao nodded and took the diary from his hand: "Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean, we remember what you said, and we will do our best." ”

Leaving Lin Mingkai's home, Ye Lili's mood on the road was obviously not high, and he kept walking forward in silence. Han Yuchao ran forward and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong with you." You see you walk like this, you don't look at the road, you just go forward. Beware of your broken foot, and you'll be disgraced. ”

Ye Lili didn't turn his head, but continued to walk forward: "Brother Chao, do you know, when you first suggested to me to come to Zhusu, my heart refused. Because here are the memories of my unbearable past, which can be regarded as the shadow of my childhood. But I'm afraid you're upset, after all, you're hurt for me, so I didn't refuse. After I got here, I saw that you had a great time, and when I saw you happy, my mood was much better. So I took a mental barrier and wanted to go to the place where I lived back then, but I didn't expect to meet two police officers, Wang Hu, and they told me that my parents might have died of murder. To be honest, in fact, after so many years, there must be no clues left, and it is basically impossible to solve the case, so I was almost broken down at that time. But you still came to help me so hard, saying that you must help me find the murderer. When I came out of Lin Mingkai's house just now, I heard him talk about his father's confession, and it could be seen that his father was sincerely repentant, and he had lived in this shadow for 16 years. At this time, I think that he has repented, and he is no longer alive, and I am willing to forgive him. So if we can find the murderer, it's best, if we can't find it, let's let it pass. ”

Han Yuchao was not happy when he heard him say this: "Lili, I can understand what you mean, you mean reading books, but that's your parents, how can you say let it go, don't worry, I will take care of this matter to the end, and I will not give up if I don't find out the truth." ”

Han Yuchao was saying that his phone suddenly rang: "Hey, Brother Chong." Yes, we're done asking and we're about to go back. What, you find out again, okay, let's go back. ”

Han Yuchao hung up the phone, turned his head to Ye Lili behind him and said, "Brother Chong said, they have made new discoveries, let's go back quickly, maybe this 16-year-old case can be solved." Detachment, detachment, are you listening. Let's go, hurry up. ”

Han Yuchao was running in front of him, Ye Lili looked at him from behind, looking at his back, his heart throbbed, what was it like, Ye Lili didn't know it.

When I arrived at the police station, I saw Jiang Chonglang talking with his mobile phone, and it seemed that he was talking to others about WeChat.

A few people gathered together again and sat down. Jiang Chonglang said: "From last night to this morning, you Sister Lan Shan and I have read the file of this issue of the case several times from beginning to end, and we have also observed the photos of the crime scene in detail for a long time, and the content of the photos in this chapter has attracted our attention. ”

Jiang Chonglang held up the photo, Ye Lili saw the photo and said, "This seems to be our kitchen, Team Jiang, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"Your sister Lan Shan and I carefully looked at these photos several times, and found some of the shoe prints left as much as possible. I took a photo of these shoe prints and sent them to Wen Caiyu to see, but Wen Caiyu looked at them for a long time and found that the half of the shoe prints on this photo were the most abnormal. ”

On the photo, there is indeed half a shoe print, although it has been deliberately erased a lot, but it has not been wiped clean, and the outline of the shoe can still be seen.
