Chapter 20: A Strange Hobby

At this time, he looked a little oozing, his eyes were deeply sunken, his pupils were bloodshot, and from his eyes, I saw a thick killing intent.

Seeing that it was me, he returned to normal a little, sorted out his emotions, and asked me if there was anything else.

I hurried to calm his emotions, and now his appearance made me very uncomfortable.

In many cases, it is because the loved ones are killed, which causes the victim's family to do a lot of impulsive things, such as revenge, venting anger, etc., and some will even go crazy and kill people at will to vent their anger.

I was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and cause some incalculable consequences, so I told him that as long as he cooperated with us and provided clues, we would definitely bring the murderer to justice, and we would never let the two old men die so unjustly.

Chen Zhi gradually stabilized his emotions, and the bloodshot in his eyes subsided little by little.

I wanted to ask Chen Zhi, what kind of people did the old man know when he was alive, but after thinking about it again, it was probably in vain to ask him, and he was not by the old man's side all the year round, so he shouldn't know much about it.

cast a look at Lao Zhang for help, and he quickly understood and signaled me not to worry.

Chen Zhi turned around and continued to kneel, and we returned to our previous position and sat down, from here we could just see the side of Chen Zhi's face, he quickly fell into sadness again, and the sound of crying was so moving that everyone was moved.

It can be seen that Chen Zhi's feelings are very real, without any camouflage in them.

As far as I know, the two old men were also extremely honest people during their lifetimes, and they were very popular, and many people respected them very much, which can also be seen from the number of people who came to participate in the white affairs of the two old men today.

There are about hundreds of people in the courtyard today, and everyone has sincere regret on their faces, and some are talking about the murderer in a low voice, scolding him for being damned, and slashing him with a thousand knives.

There are also a few whispers talking about the "knocking ghost", saying that the old man was knocked to death by the knocker, and the old man did evil before his death, and was found by the knocker to take revenge, but this was quickly refuted, saying that the old man would never do anything evil.

I carefully observed everyone present, and judging from their conversation and behavior, and the way they dressed, it was obvious that they were very different from Liu Guilan and his wife, and I really couldn't tell which of them knew him. Seeing that it was about to be served, I was afraid that many people would leave after eating, and I wouldn't be able to ask when I wanted to.

I had to ask them one by one, and almost all of them knew each other, and several people gathered in groups to talk, and when they saw me coming up to ask questions, they were not very willing to answer me.

I had to identify myself with them, I was here to investigate the old man's case, and their attitude towards me was a little better.

knew that everyone was asked, but no one said that they knew Xie Shouyi and Liu Guilan.

A few of them asked me if they were the murderers and asked me to arrest them quickly, so I had to explain casually and prevaricate.

Returning to her seat and sitting down, Huang Na scoffed at my behavior, "Since you want to find out who they know in common to lock up the murderer, do you really think he would be so stupid that he would still be here?" Even if he really had that much courage, he wouldn't be so stupid to come out and admit it, you said that the murderer was a very smart person, since you can think of this, he won't be unexpected. ”

I didn't argue with what she said, and yes, I had thought about it a long time ago, but I still didn't want to let go of any hope.

My purpose was not just a simple questioning, in the course of the questioning, I had roughly memorized the physiognomy and characteristics of each person, and according to the description of the eyewitnesses at the time of the crime, I had preliminarily marked a few people.

Although the two cases appear to be robbery and murder on the surface, the murderer repeatedly provoked the police and threatened me, so I have every reason to believe that he is likely to be someone at the scene.

No matter how smart a person is, there are times when he makes mistakes, and no matter how superb his skills are, there is a moment when his feet are exposed.

What I need to do now is to wait for him to surface on his own, but I can't afford to wait, my superiors have already given me a death order, and I must solve the case within a week.

Not only for this purpose, but if the murderers continue to go unpunished, more people will be put at risk.

The murderer even repeatedly provoked our police, Wang is still lying in the hospital, in a vegetative state, I don't know when he will wake up, he may have seen the murderer with his own eyes, but he can't tell us.

Moreover, public opinion among the people has not been eliminated, and the rumors of "knocking on the head" have been spreading in people's mouths, and they are showing an increasingly fierce posture, and the police's refutation of rumors has no effect at all, but has aroused strong dissatisfaction from many people with the police, accusing us of doing things unfavorably.

No matter what the purpose is, I have to get some clues as soon as possible, and I can't continue to investigate the purpose of this stroll.

Chen Zhi knelt in front of his parents' coffins and cried sadly for a long time, until the person next to him pulled him up, and he gradually stopped his voice.

Lao Zhang called him to our table, although he was obviously not in a good mood, but he still had to ask him something, after all, only he knew the situation of the dead old man.

Lao Zhang asked about the old man's life, Chen Zhi's voice was very low, and he said intermittently while recalling, but they were all worthless answers, which we had already understood before.

I don't know why Lao Zhang asked these things, but I still didn't interrupt.

Lao Zhang took the trouble to ask one question after another, including the old man's work and rest time before his death, and the trivial things he liked to eat.

Chen Zhi also couldn't remember clearly, he said that he hadn't been with the old man for some years, and only vaguely remembered some fragmentary information.

Lao Zhang gave me a look, so I took out a pen to record this information one by one, although I don't know what it is for, I still wrote it in the notebook word by word.

At a glance, these things are very common behaviors of the elderly, including eating and drinking, work and rest time, etc., which are basically consistent with many old people, and they are very healthy.

But Lao Zhang's last question, the answer he got was a little abnormal.

"What hobbies do the two old men usually have?"

The two old people usually go to bed early and get up early, and their work and rest habits are very healthy, but they both have a very abnormal hobby, that is, they love to gamble.

The old man was a retired worker before his death, and he could receive a lot of pension every month, and there was no other use, and the children were not around, and he usually had no other hobbies, so he gradually liked to play cards and gamble.

Huang Na leaned into my ear and whispered something very much as I thought.

This hobby of the old man may be the key to solving the case!
