Ji Xia glanced at him with disgust, ignored him, and turned his head to ask Gao Han about his next plan.

Gao Han pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, so far, we still can't tell whether the deceased is Dong Dali based on Li Youcheng's 'story' that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. ”

Gao Han paused and continued: "If Li Youcheng is telling a lie, then just like Dabao said, Li Youcheng is very suspected of committing a crime if he deliberately confuses the public......

"If he is telling the truth, then the deceased is very likely to be Dong Dali." Ji Xia interfaced. She really misses modern DNA testing technology, so that everything is solved.

"Then how can you tell if what he said is true or false?" Xue Dabao asked puzzled.

Gao Han patted Xue Dabao's head and said, "Didn't Li Youcheng say that Dong Dali has a fellow villager who opened an iron shop in the west of the city." ”

Xue Dabao suddenly realized. The only clue at the moment is Yuan Bengang, and only he can prove whether the deceased is Dong Dali.

Yuan Bengang's iron shop is not difficult to find, because of its high quality and low price, it is famous in the west of the city.

I saw a man at the door of the shop, about thirty years old, more than five feet five inches long, dark and shiny skin, with a healthy luster, and a strong physique. On the body is a coarse linen blouse, some of which are on the small side, outlining beautiful muscle lines.

At this moment, he was sweating profusely to forge iron tools with his chest half-open.

"Excuse me, are you Yuan Bengang?"

When the man saw Gao Han and the three of them coming, he greeted him warmly: "Yes, I am Yuan Bengang, three guest officers, I want to buy some utensils, the small shop has everything, please choose at will." ”

"We're not here to buy something."

Yuan Bengang looked at the three well-dressed young men in front of him suspiciously.

Gao Han showed his waist card to show his identity, and said: "We are here to ask you about someone, do you know Dong Dali?" ”

Ji Xia noticed that when Gao Han said the words "Dong Dali", Yuan Bengang's expression was unnatural for a moment, and the movements of his subordinates were also half a beat slower.

Yuan Bengang said casually: "I know, it's my fellow countryman." ”

"What physical characteristics does he have?"

Yuan Bengang thought for a few seconds before he spoke: "He is about the same size as me. ”

"What else? For example, birthmarks and the like. Gao Han asked.

"He had a birthmark on his right upper arm."

"And where is he now?" Gao Han asked anxiously. If it can be proved that Dong Dali is still alive or has returned to his hometown, then the assertion that the deceased is Dong Dali can be overturned.

Yuan Bengang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know each other very well." ”

"Didn't you live together before?"

Yuan Bengang was stunned for a moment and explained: "It was just when I first came to Taoyuan County, I was not familiar with the place, and I lived together to take care of it, but I didn't usually talk to him." ”

Gao Han nodded thoughtfully, thinking that his explanation was reasonable.

"And when was the last time you saw him?"

Yuan Bengang blurted out: "Three months ago." ”

Ji Xia frowned, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Yuan Bengang coldly. He also answered too quickly, as if he had predicted Gao Han's question.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I just happened to win a lot of money at the time, I moved out of there and never saw him again." Yuan Bengang replied without thinking.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

"My lord, has Dong Dali committed any crime?"

Gao Han smiled noncommittally and said, "Haven't you seen the notice from the government in the past few days?" ”

Yuan Bengang shook his head and said that he didn't pay attention to these.

Gao Han was a little helpless, and he didn't want to explain too much, so he left with Ji Xia and Xue Dabao.

"How do I feel that asking is equivalent to asking in vain, and I didn't ask anything!" Xue Dabao said with a dejected face.

"At least, we know that Dong Dali most likely disappeared or left Taoyuan County three months ago."

The last time Li Youcheng and Yuan Bengang saw Dong Dali was three months ago, and the time of the deceased's death was exactly three months ago. Could it be such a coincidence? The possibility that the deceased was Dong Dali has increased again.

Ji Xia on the side didn't say a word and walked quietly.

"Master, what do you think?" Xue Dabao saw that Ji Xia didn't react, as if a senior monk had settled down, so he gently touched her with his hand, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ji Xia woke up like a dream and said, "Ah nothing, I just think he's suspicious." ”

"Ah, I don't think so!" Xue Dabao scratched his head, "He and Big Brother Gao have a fluent answer. ”

"It's because his answers are so fluent!" Ji Xia paused and said, "It's like it's been arranged in advance." ”

"Master, I'm a little confused by you, when I asked Li Youcheng before, you said that his story was complete and smooth, it shouldn't be a lie, but now Yuan Bengang answered fluently, but you said he was suspicious." Xue Dabao asked suspiciously.

"As he spoke, I kept observing his reaction, and it was obvious that he was just trying to prevaricate at first, until Big Brother Gao mentioned that he and Dong Dali used to live together, and he began to look a little cramped."

"I also found out about this, but it may also be because I didn't want to deal with the government in the first place, right?" Xue Dabao thought about it, but he still felt that Li Youcheng, who ran away when he saw the official turn around, was more suspicious.

"No, about the time when Big Brother Gao asked him when he saw Dong Dali for the last time, he blurted out. It's like ......"

"It's like I knew I was going to ask that." Gao Han said loudly.

Ji Xiatou nodded like a rattle.

"At the time, I felt the same way." Gao Han said slowly.

"What's this! Didn't he explain, it just so happened that he won money at that time, so he was more impressed. Xue Dabao retorted.

Ji Xia did not continue to speak. Indeed, what Xue Dabao said is very reasonable, relying on the association between things, it is indeed more memorable, but Yuan Bengang's reaction was too fast, as if he had already rehearsed.

She didn't know how to explain it, but she had this strong intuition.

"Brother Gao, what should we do next?" Seeing that this case had stagnated again, Xue Dabao didn't feel good in his heart.

Gao Han pondered for a moment and said, "We still have a place to check." ”

Ji Xia and Xue Dabao both looked at him with a confused expression.

Where else can I look up! Even if the deceased person is Dong Dali, no one knows where he was last seen and who he was with......

"Didn't Dong Dali and Yuan Bengang live together in Lijia Village for a while before? We can go over there and investigate. ”

"I don't understand, why go there to investigate?"

"Brother Gao, do you want to say that on the premise that the deceased is Dong Dali, you must ensure that he has been to a place with rice before or when he was killed, so this place is either a rice shop or a home?" Ji Xia said tentatively.

"I think it's not only on the premise that the deceased is Dong Dali, but also on the premise that the murderer is Yuan Bengang!" Xue Dabao muttered in a low voice, looking unconvinced: Brother Gao is biased towards the master every time and doesn't believe me.

Under the guidance of Li Youcheng, the three found the house where Dong Dali and Yuan Bengang lived before.

Li Youcheng opened the door and introduced: "This room was originally owned by a distant cousin of my family, but after they moved, this room was vacant, and it was occasionally rented to people from other places who came to work. ”

As soon as he opened the door, the dust floating in the air choked Ji Xia and couldn't help but sneeze.

"After Yuan Ben just moved out, this house was vacant and no one lived in it."

Gao Han nodded and thanked Li Youcheng.

After Li Youcheng left, the three of them went straight to the kitchen and conducted a carpet search.

Ji Xia knelt directly on the ground, and his whole body fell to the ground, not letting go of a gap.

"I found it!" Ji Xia Lang said, "Come and see, what is this?" ”

"Bloodstains?" Gao Han looked at it carefully, not daring to make a judgment easily.

Ji Xia nodded, her joy overflowing.

"Master, I'm starting to trust your judgment a little." Xue Dabao said slowly, "This is the scene of the crime!" ”

"But it's also possible that it was accidentally left behind a long time ago." Gao Han raised doubts.

Ji Xia Zhengse said: "Yes, it is too arbitrary to draw conclusions based on this trace of blood. ”

She turned her head to Xue Dabao and ordered, "Dabao, go find Li Youcheng and ask for vinegar." ”

"What is this going to do?" Gao Han asked puzzled.

"I'm going to make the blood back!" Ji Xia said confidently.

Although there is no luminol reagent here, there is vinegar and it can also work.

Xue Dabao handed the vinegar to Ji Xia.

I saw her pick up the vinegar and splash it near the rice jar.

All of a sudden, the kitchen air was filled with a sour smell.

After only a moment's wait, a large blood stain appeared on the ground!

"Master, what a god! How is this done? Xue Dabao couldn't help but widen his eyes and sighed.

Ji Xia didn't know how to explain to him that it was acetic acid that had a chemical reaction with proteins in the blood. just said lightly: "I also learned it from ancient books." ”

"Now, Yuan Bengang can't run away!" Xue Dabao said excitedly.

"I don't know who it was just now, and you still said that Yuan Bengang was not suspicious?"

"Who said that, how I don't know!" Xue Dabao's eyes rolled and he was playing a scoundrel.

Gao Han and Ji Xia couldn't help laughing.

"But there is one more thing we need to really convict him." Gao Han smiled and said.

"The murder weapon."

"Yes, without the murder weapon as physical evidence, he could have quibbled and was unaware of the bloodstains, or planted the blame on others." Gao Han paused and continued: "And this murder weapon must be found in a place related to him!" ”

Ji Xia said secretly: If there is no way to prove that the murder weapon is his, if he has a strong psychological quality and refuses to admit it, then we are helpless.

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and find someone to come, even if it is three feet into the ground, I will find it!" Xue Dabao's mood suddenly soared.
