Chapter 30: An Intricate Chain of Relationships
Guo Yongjia thought for a while, looked at me tentatively and said, "Could it be that those internal organs taken away by Liu Lulu are those children?" ”
I slowly closed my eyes, and if my guess was correct, it should be like this, of course, this is only one of the lines I speculated, but it is also the most likely one.
Investigation is like this, even if the evidence is cumbersome and the clues are complicated, we have to straighten them out and sort them out one by one, otherwise, the clues are like a ball of entangled cotton, intricate.
"You just said that you are a normal person, so what about abnormal?" Guo Yongjia looked at me suspiciously, then started the car and said.
"That's to think of yourself as a murderer, if you are a murderer, why do you imprison a little girl in this house, why do you make a little girl so naked, and why do you choose her to be your target."
I took a look, Guo Yongjia, smiled, and continued: "If I am the murderer, I want to put this little girl here, there must be my considerations, this is in a remote area, no one will come all year round, and you have also seen it, just now that pair of gloves, I assume that the gloves are human blood, and I also assume that the human internal organs are contained in those iron buckets, then my following speculation is also established, the body salvaged next to the canal was placed by the murderer, and I just took a look at the weather yesterday, yesterday was the northwest wind, It happened to be downstream, ten minutes, within ten minutes, the corpse would float into the range of that path, however, this murderer chose the wrong time, the canal was densely populated during the day, and there were countless freighters that drove from here, someone must have seen him throwing things here, I just asked Lu Yifa to help me check the freighter that passed by here at three o'clock yesterday, I believe we will have the answer soon. ”
I guided Guo Yongjia's thoughts step by step to my inference, because I didn't want to make any more moths at that time, of course, I think it is difficult to absorb these with Guo Yongjia's brain, but he has to do this, I am helping him, he is our captain, I am not, I can only scrutinize from the side.
"You...... Why do you want to say it to me? You can go directly to Zhong Li's office, and then tell him all your inferences, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to go to the criminal investigation team. Guo Yongjia said to me.
I smiled lightly, then took out a piece of chewing gum from my pocket and stuffed it into my mouth, and said helplessly: "Hey, a person's reasoning is very lonely, you just treat me as a cheap, I want to find you to refute me." ”
Guo Yongjia smiled knowingly, and didn't pay attention to me, just took out a box of chewing gum from the car and put it next to the central control, and said: "I know that your kid's birthday is coming, and I don't have anything to give you. ”
"Poof......
I was drinking water as he said this, and when he said this, my water sprayed directly on the party windglass in front of me.
"Hey, can you please stop being so picky? Giving a birthday gift and chewing gum? Why don't you give me a box of condoms? I glanced at Guo Yongjia, and although the words were said like this, I still silently put the whole big box of chewing gum in my coat.
"Hahaha, you kid, okay, I'll give you a box of Durex, and you'll give me to use it up in a month?" Guo Yongjia said jokingly.
Fifteen minutes later, we came to the place where the body was recovered yesterday, there are almost no people here, there are two or three villages around, but in these two or three villages, there are not a few families living in them, because some of the surrounding villages have been demolished, and what remains is just ordinary nail households.
In order to save time, Guo Yongjia and I split up, he went to the village in the west, while I went to a place called Qingshui Village.
As soon as I entered this village, I felt a cold wind blowing leisurely behind me, most of them were old people, they hugged each other and gathered together, and when I entered the village, those strange eyes naturally fell on me.
I took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket without smiling, took out one and put it in my mouth but didn't light it, then took the cigarette case in my hand, and walked to the group of old people, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, does Wang Yongsheng live here?" I'm his distant cousin, no, I'm going to drive to Jiashi and pass by here, so I want to come and see him. ”
"Wang Yongsheng? Oh...... You're talking about Sheng Zi, who moved out a few weeks ago, and we're going to demolish here, you're his relative, don't you know? An old man who looked to be seventy or eighty years old looked at me with a pale head and said.
Before I came, I asked Lu Yifa to investigate several villages in the vicinity in the files of the demolition personnel, and of course I knew that this man named Wang Yongsheng had left here.
I smiled and smoked a few cigarettes from the cigarette case, handed them to them, and helped them light them one by one, and then continued to them: "Isn't it that I haven't been in touch for many years, I finally came on a business trip once, and I want to say that I will leave my daughter at his house for a few days, and now it seems that I have to rent a house when I go to Jiashi." ”
As soon as I heard that I was going to put my daughter in this village, the old man who had just spoken to me said a little anxiously: "Hey, but you can't, all the families with children have been relocated, and the rest are all our old men......"
I looked at the old man in this circle suspiciously, when I said that I wanted to put the child here, they began to tighten their eyebrows, I asked the old man what happened, he moved his mouth to the entrance of the village without being taboo, and said: "We are here, not clean, next to the Grand Canal, legend has it that there are water demons in the canal, specializing in eating children, I heard that a few days ago another one was fished up, hey, the villages near us are not very peaceful." ”
"Yes, isn't his fifth aunt's grandson also eaten by the water demon? The child is playing in the village, and I don't know how, but he was fished up from the river at night, and when he was fished up, there was only a skeleton left, and the clothes and shoes on his body were still intact. ”
"That's right...... Hey, they are all their own children, who is not more distressed than whom, originally a few of our old people have already said that they will be here together to toss with their demolition team to the end, but for the sake of their own children, they have to move out. ”
Several old people were asked by me on this topic, and the conversation box opened up at once, and they were all talking about this thing about water demons.
"So old man, when did this water demon eat children start to happen?" I stepped forward, sat down on a side step, and chatted with the old men like that.
The old man thought for a while and said, "It was about three years ago, I remember, it was the second egg from the next village, and his mother asked him to go out to buy a bottle of soy sauce, but this person went and never came back." ”
"That'...... Are there still people living near here? I mean the prime of life or a family with children? I asked, confused.
"...... with children It's long gone, but there is one in the prime of life, Wang Tiezhu's family at the end of the village, but Tiezhu's head was burned out when he was young, crazy, hey, I said young man, why are you asking this? Another man who looked to be in his sixties waved his hand at me and said.
I scratched my head in embarrassment, and then put the pack of cigarettes in my hand on the small table between them, and said, "Hey, just ask casually, I see, this thing is not so miraculous, what a water monster, according to what you said, the children's shoes and clothes are intact, so how did this water monster eat the children's flesh through the clothes and shoes?" I think it's not that simple. ”
"Go, go, where is the yellow-haired boy, don't say such things in this place, you angered the water monster, and even your daughter ate it together." The old man rolled his eyes at me and said angrily to me.
I smiled awkwardly, seeing that these old men did not treat me like this, I immediately walked down the entrance of the village, and walked towards the end of the village in a gloomy manner.
I walked alone on this kind of country road, or the air in the countryside was fresh, and even my mind suddenly cleared up a lot.
Three years ago, three years ago, people here were prosperous, but the legend of the water demon turned the world upside down, several children were tragically poisoned by the "water demon", three years, why did this murderer choose the Grand Canal to start? Is it just because of this legend of the water demon?
"Didi, Didi."
"Ye Ze, I have found out, there are three villages near you, there are three families behind the village where Guo Yongjia went, and yours has eight households, except for one of these eight households, all of them are left-behind old people, there is no motive for committing the crime, and the other family, named Wang Tiezhu, both parents died, and there is a wife, but four years ago, when his wife was washing clothes by the river, she accidentally fell into the Grand Canal, and she has not been found until now, This information was only discovered during the census two years ago, and I hope it will be helpful to you. ”
I took my mobile phone, stopped in place, and then squatted down and took a branch and gently scratched the clue correlation map on the ground, water, Wang Tiezhu's wife disappeared after falling into the Grand Canal, and the bodies of those children were also found in the Grand Canal, will there be any connection between each other? No, isn't Wang Tiezhu cerebral palsy? It shouldn't be possible to have the ability to kill people.
"Hey, aren't you the same cop from yesterday?" Just as I was meditating, a male voice suddenly sounded behind me.
