Chapter 137: Silence
"Can you tell me more about ......?"
"It's a long story, Brother Zhang." Chen Chunsheng sat next to Zhang Yichi and began to tell the information he knew, "Brother, you also know that your sister-in-law was abducted and trafficked, didn't she run away again that day, and Uncle Shiren found her in the mountains." At that time, my sister-in-law didn't go back when she died, so the two of them got into a fight, and the uncle of the world was angry, so he found a stone and smashed my sister-in-law to death! The uncle of the world was afraid that people would know, so he moved his sister-in-law to the side of the mountain road, so that we mistakenly thought that my sister-in-law fell down and died. Didn't Uncle Shimin know at that time, how dare Uncle Shimin tell Uncle Shimin when he went back, my father saw that he couldn't find anyone after looking for a morning, so he asked Uncle Shimin to call the police. Uncle Shimin agreed, and then you came over. That afternoon, Brother Zhang, you could directly see that your sister-in-law did not fall from the mountain road and fell to her death, so Uncle Shiren panicked, and confessed to Uncle Shimin that night. ”
The information that Zhang Yichi has is not different from what Chen Chunsheng said, but he still doesn't understand why Wang Shiren is both a murderer and not a murderer.
"Uncle Shimin said that he went to the school that night to spy on you, but you found out, and he didn't dare to go again. The next day, Uncle Shimin told my father about it again, and asked my father to help cover it up and get by. Isn't it that you have been disobeying my father's advice, and you have found a lot of clues, so my father stabbed you and wanted to kill you...... That's pretty much it. ”
"I see." Zhang Yichi nodded.
In other words, some of his previous reasoning was not wrong, but the results were wrong, causing him to mistakenly believe that his entire solution was wrong.
As for why the solution idea is right, but the answer is wrong, Zhang Yichi believes that there is a greater hidden truth in it.
Now it's time to refresh the timeline.
According to the information currently available, the situation of the day can basically be restored, as long as Zhang Yichi can find the contradictions, the real murderer should surface.
On the same day, Liu Cuilan left home before seven o'clock, passed through Uncle Sun's house, and arrived in the mountains.
At about ten o'clock, he met Zhang Nanyang on the mountain, during which the two sides had a quarrel, Zhang Nanyang went down the mountain, and met Wang Shiren at the bottom of the mountain.
At about eleven o'clock, through Zhang Nanyang's guidance, Wang Shiren went up the mountain to find Liu Cuilan, and the two sides quarreled, Wang Shiren killed Liu Cuilan and placed it under the mountain road, faking the traces of his death.
At twelve o'clock, the village chief suggested that Wang Shimin call the police, Wang Shiren borrowed a tricycle from the commissary to pick up Zhang Yichi, Zhang Yichi arrived in the afternoon, and soon after the news of Liu Cuilan's death came.
Before half past six in the afternoon, Zhang Yichi and Wang Shiren arrived at the scene of the crime and found the first scene of the crime.
At half past ten in the evening, Wang Shimin went to the school to monitor Zhang Yichi.
roughly listed the timeline of the day, Zhang Yichi's first feeling was, could it be that Wang Shiren was apologizing for Wang Shimin? But this doesn't make sense, if Wang Shimin killed someone, he shouldn't have agreed with the village chief to call the police, and the footprints at the scene of the crime did not match his.
At present, it should be Wang Shiren who killed Liu Cuilan.
Unless Wang Shiren didn't kill Liu Cuilan.
"Didn't kill Liu Cuilan...... Zhang Yichi thought, "Will someone do it to Liu Cuilan again after Wang Shiren committed the crime, and really caused Liu Cuilan's death?" ”
If so, then it is understandable that this murderer has been lurking under many suspects. Logically makes sense, Wang Shiren seems to be a murderer, even he thinks so, but in fact, the real murderer is after him.
If this line of thinking is correct, then there is another person who also went up the mountain that day.
Could it be that Zhang Nanyang didn't leave at all that day?
"Chunsheng, on the day Liu Cuilan died, do you know where Zhang Nanyang is?" Zhang Yichi decided to ask Chen Chunsheng.
Chen Chunsheng said: "He went up the mountain, and he came down to the village committee at ten o'clock to stay with us. ”
Chen Chunsheng wouldn't lie to him, so if Zhang Nanyang really went down the mountain at ten o'clock, it would be impossible to give Liu Cuilan the final blow after Wang Shiren.
"Except for Zhang Nanyang and Wang Shiren that day, did anyone else go up the mountain in the morning?"
"No, wow...... I don't know......"
The trail is broken again.
The high fever has made Zhang Yichi in a very poor state now, and it is actually very difficult to concentrate on thinking. He frowned and closed his eyes, remembering what had been missed that day.
On that day, apart from Zhang Nanyang and Wang Shiren, who else went up the mountain?
Who else is there......
Zhang Yichi opened his eyes suddenly.
There was indeed another person who went up the mountain that morning!
Uncle Sun's grandson! I went up to the mountains that morning to chop wood! Zhang Nanyang and Liu Cuilan quarreled on the mountain at ten o'clock, which was also said by Uncle Sun and grandson!
Thinking of Uncle Sun's grandson, Zhang Yichi recalled another omission that was not too inconspicuous. That is, Uncle Sun also went to spy on him, and he was arrested by him! It's just that Uncle Sun refused to confess when he died, so Zhang Yichi had to let Uncle Sun leave for the time being.
Originally, he planned to finish eating at the village committee at noon and go to find out Uncle Sun's secret in the afternoon, but he didn't expect to be stabbed, and he didn't wake up until today.
Uncle Sun's grandson said that he went up the mountain at nine o'clock and came down at ten o'clock every day. It seems that there is no time to commit the crime, but when Zhang Yichi and Zhang Nanyang went down the mountain at eleven o'clock that day, they met the boy who also went down the mountain!
At that time, the boy explained that he had not been here the previous day, so it took more time to chop more firewood today. This argument didn't seem problematic at the time, but now it's completely reasonable to believe that the boy is lying!
What if the boy's normal descent time is past eleven o'clock? Then it is very likely that Wang Shiren will meet Liu Cuilan on the way down the mountain after committing the crime!
Although the boy is not very old, it should not be difficult to kill Liu Cuilan who is seriously injured.
It's just that...... Was the boy motivated to kill Liu Cuilan?
"Chunsheng, do me a favor." Zhang Yichi looked at Chen Chunsheng, "Can you bring Uncle Sun's grandson over without Uncle Sun paying attention?" ”
"Yangyang? What do you want him to do? ”
"Ask something, he's an eyewitness."
"Okay, no problem."
Zhang Yichi advised: "When you call him, don't say that I called him." ”
Chen Chunsheng thought for a moment: "I said come and get something to send to his grandfather." ”
"Okay."
Chen Chunsheng didn't waste any time, left in a hurry, and returned with the boy twenty minutes later. The boy saw Zhang Yichi, who was weak on the kang, and panic flashed in his eyes.
"Your name is Yangyang, isn't it?" Zhang Yichi asked.
“…… Well. Yang Yang was a little nervous.
"How old is this year?"
“…… Ten and a half years old. ”
Zhang Yichi stared at Yangyang for a long time: "You lied to me, right?" You usually don't go down the mountain at ten o'clock when you chop wood, so when you saw Zhang Nanyang and Liu Cuilan arguing, it should be when you went up the mountain at nine o'clock, right? ”
Without waiting for Yang Yang to speak, Zhang Yichi continued to say in a deep voice: "You went down the mountain at eleven o'clock that day, met the seriously injured Liu Cuilan, and killed her. Your grandfather knew about it, too, and went to spy on me the other night, right? ”
Yang Yang cried directly: "It's not me, I can't do anything!" Woowoo woo ......"
"Don't cry, I just want to know the truth. If you continue to lie to me, it will only drag down your grandfather, and he will go to jail. Zhang Yichi said with some threats.
Chen Chunsheng, who was standing next to him, was directly stunned when he heard Zhang Yichi's words: "Brother Zhang, wasn't it the uncle of the world who killed Liu Cuilan?" This ......"
"Yangyang, say it." Zhang Yichi still looked at the boy.
After a long time, under Chen Chunsheng's appeasement, Yang Yang eased up a lot, and he sobbed: "No matter what happens to me and my grandfather, woo woo, I killed people!" ”
"Why did you kill her?" Zhang Yichi finally found the real culprit, but he was not happy at all.
"Yes, it was Grandma Liu who begged me to kill." Yang Yang wiped his tears, "I met Grandma Liu when I went down the mountain after chopping firewood that day, and I saw that she was injured, so I hurried over and wanted to call someone for help." She, she stopped me, told me to kill her, she, she said she didn't want to live anymore, begged me to help her get free, woo woo, I didn't dare, she comforted me and said something...... Say, just choke her neck......"
Yang Yang breathlessly recounted the secret hidden that day.
Zhang Yichi and Chen Chunsheng were sluggish.
The room was eerily quiet.
"I, I'll help her, Grandma Liu won't pant anymore, I, I'll run away, I can't sleep at night, I'll tell my grandfather, my grandfather can't sleep, can't sleep......"
Zhang Yichi's face was gloomy.
Chen Chunsheng swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhang Yichi.
Long...... Long......
"It's okay, you helped her." Zhang Yichi showed a bleak smile, "You are not wrong, and your grandfather is not wrong...... It's me late. ”
Yangyang's crying gradually stopped.
A feeble silence struck.
The only way out of the mountains was where a group of villagers was blocked. The villagers in the village are still searching for Zhang Yichi on a large scale, just as they did when they were looking for Liu Cuilan.
There were dark clouds floating in the sky, layer after layer, so dense that no light could be seen.
