"Do you think I have a point?" Zhang Yichi asked.

Zhang Nanyang did not speak.

The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, Zhang Yichi glanced outside, walked to the door and pulled the door open: "Is there anything else?" If not, I'll go first. ”

Originally, he planned to let Zhang Nanyang take him to understand the terrain of the village, but according to the current situation, the other party probably didn't have much heart to help, so he planned to check it alone.

"Let's go, Brother Zhang, I'll take you there." Zhang Nanyang got up from his chair and exhaled a long breath, his face full of smiles again.

Zhang Yichi looked at him for a moment, and noticed that Zhang Nanyang still had a trace of displeasure: "You also understand, I'm just a little policeman-"

"Hey! What's the matter! Zhang Nanyang interrupted Zhang Yichi's words, opened the door with a smile and led Zhang Yichi out.

The two walked on a small road in the village, and Zhang Nanyang explained the surrounding situation. At Zhang Yichi's request, Zhang Nanyang even made it clear how many people lived in each household, gender, age, and what relationship he had with Wang Shimin and Wang Shiren's family.

The village is full of neighbors who don't look up and don't look down, and Zhang Nanyang is a primary school teacher, so he basically knows everyone in the village, and he hasn't encountered any trouble in this regard.

It took more than half an hour to check dozens of households, because by the way, Zhang Nanyang first took Zhang Yichi to a small hill, first drew a map from Zhang Yichi overlooking the terrain, and then continued to check other households.

"Wang Shimin, their family is over there, right?" Zhang Yichi squatted on the ground in a high and low squatting position, and began to draw a map while putting the paper on his lap as he asked.

"Yes, that's it." Zhang Nanyang looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Yichi and nodded.

"Okay." Zhang Yichi marked it carefully, and then asked, "Where is Uncle Sun's house?" ”

Zhang Nanyang was puzzled: "Uncle Sun...... Which Uncle Sun? ”

"It was on the day Liu Cuilan died, I saw Liu Cuilan passing by in front of their house."

"Oh, old hat." Zhang Nanyang said Uncle Sun's nickname in the village, "His house is in that area." ”

Zhang Yichi looked over, wrote down the location of Uncle Sun's house, and then marked the place of Liu Cuilan's death with his memory.

From his own home, he passed by Uncle Sun's house, and then died in a place on the edge of the mountains.

These three locations are the places where Liu Cuilan is known to have appeared on the day of her death, and Zhang Yichi connected these three locations together through the map he drawn.

These three places are connected in a straight line, which means that Liu Cuilan should have walked towards the mountains at that time, and did not pass by after something happened halfway.

In addition, there is a long distance from Liu Cuilan's house to the place of death. Yesterday, Zhang Yichi and Wang Shiren rode bicycles from the village committee to the place of Liu Cuilan's death, and it took thirty or forty minutes.

Zhang Yichi plans to have a basic understanding of the remaining households later, complete the drawing of the map, and follow Liu Cuilan's route once, on the one hand, calculate how long Liu Cuilan needs to spend on the road, so as to further accurate the time of her death, and on the other hand, he also wants to go to the scene of the crime to find out if there are any missing clues.

"Huh! Elder brother! ”

There was shouting from the bottom of the hill.

After putting away the map, Zhang Yichi got up and looked, only to see Chen Chun rushing up panting angrily.

"Go up! Let's go! Zhang Nanyang said loudly.

Chen Chunsheng stood in place and rested.

Zhang Yichi and Zhang Nanyang came to the bottom of the mountain to meet Chen Chunsheng.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Nanyang." Chen Chunsheng greeted the two, "My father asked me to look for you, and Brother Zhang, didn't you say that I would take a walk in the village with you in the afternoon." ”

"Hmm."

"It's just right, I still have something to do, Chunsheng, you will accompany Brother Zhang to continue shopping." Zhang Nanyang seemed to have something to do, and when he saw Chen Chunsheng, he entrusted everything to him, and left in a hurry.

Seeing Zhang Nanyang go away, Chen Chunsheng gasped and asked, "Brother Zhang, what are we going to do later." ”

Zhang Yichi glanced at the map that was not yet perfect, pointed to the direction on the other side that he hadn't yet understood, and said, "Go over there to learn about the terrain and residents." ”

"It works."

……

More than an hour later, Zhang Yichi mastered the general topography of the village, the distribution of households and other information, and it was still early, so after a short rest, Zhang Yichi and Chen Chunsheng came to the door of Uncle Sun's house.

"Uncle Sun said that Liu Cuilan passed by his door at about seven o'clock." Zhang Yichi said to Chen Chunsheng, "Chunsheng, Liu Cuilan has not been in your village for a long time, does she know the topography of your village?" ”

"That's it, I don't usually go out, anyway, I know everyone on the road." Chen Chunsheng replied.

Zhang Yichi thought for a moment: "Then you lead the way, let's go from the road to Liu Cuilan's place of death." ”

"That's far away! Brother Zhang, are you ...... Can you walk? Chen Chunsheng exclaimed.

"Yes, let's go." Zhang Yichi wrote down the current time, 4:12 p.m.

Seeing that Zhang Yichi said that he could walk, Chen Chunsheng didn't say anything more, and began to walk from the road to the mountain where Liu Cuilan died as required.

At half past five, the two arrived.

It took about an hour and twenty minutes, Zhang Yichi silently wrote down this time, and then took Chen Chunsheng to the real death location of Liu Cuilan.

Everything is still the same here, and there should be no one since Zhang Yichi left.

"I heard my father say that my aunt didn't die there?" Chen Chunsheng pointed to the gravel under the mountain path.

"It's not." Now that the sky is still bright, Zhang Yichi carefully observed the surroundings, trying to find any clues that were missed, "The murderer stoned Liu Cuilan to death here, and then moved Liu Cuilan under the path, pretending that she fell to her death." ”

Chen Chunsheng said "ah" in surprise: "Can you still be like this?" ”

Zhang Yichi did not reply.

"Brother Zhang, what are you looking for?" Chen Chunsheng leaned over to Zhang Yichi and asked.

"See if there are any missing clues. This is the scene of the first crime, and any clue is crucial. Zhang Yichi concentrated on searching, "You can also look for it and see if there is anything strange." ”

"Oh." Chen Chunsheng enthusiastically helped to find it together.

Half an hour later, the two found no clues.

Zhang Yichi clapped his hands and looked around, thinking about where the murder weapon would be thrown.

"There's nothing, Brother Zhang." Chen Chunsheng said with a bitter face.

Zhang Yichi looked around thoughtfully, and once again ignored Chen Chunsheng.

Chen Chunsheng sat on a stone to rest, waiting for Zhang Yichi to finish thinking about what to say.

After a while, Zhang Yichi frowned and looked at the map again. In the map, Wang Shi's family, Uncle Sun's house, and Liu Cuilan's place of death are connected into a straight line, and he concluded that Liu Cuilan should have come here specifically because of this straight line.

But he now realizes that he had overlooked the most crucial point.

A fool, why come here specifically?
