On the other end of the phone, Li Fei was a little dazed, and they all ignored a crucial thing in this case, that is, Zhu Lili's car, a vehicle that may have been to the scene of the crime and then disappeared.

Hanging up the phone, Liang Zhijie was about to go to the cemetery to have a look, and on the field road, a person staggered over.

At 8:35 p.m., although the moonlight was faint, he couldn't do any farm work, and the man in front of him was actually carrying a hoe.

Liang Zhijie got out of the car, the sound of the door closing alarmed the man, he raised his head, his feet subconsciously stopped, and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in the field with a trance gaze.

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air, wafting from the man.

Before Liang Zhijie could speak, the man grinned and walked over happily: "I recognize you, you are the female policeman who visited our village a few days ago." ”

The man burped and put down the hoe: "You're here to investigate the case?" The case of the old Zhu family has not been solved yet? Has this murderer been found? ”

"Are you from Zhujia Village?"

"Yes, I'm from Zhujia Village." The man yawned: "There is nothing in this field, if there is anything, the village chief has already told you." ”

"What are you carrying your hoe for this big night?"

"Don't do anything, go home." The man said, yawning even more: "Comrade policeman, I haven't done anything illegal or criminal, I just hoeed the ground in the morning, forgot the hoe in the ground, I came to the field to get it." Look at my hoe, is it covered with dirt? Well, there's grass on it. My tree is over there, and my hoe is really used for hoeing. ”

"I used it for hoeing, and I forgot to bring it back?" A smile that saw through him appeared on Liang Zhijie's lips: "It's okay, I have a car here, send you back, lest you leave the hoe halfway." ”

"Don't bother the police comrades, my house is in front, just a few steps away." The man laughed and wanted to touch Liang Zhijie's side, but she blocked it with her hand.

"Tell me honestly, or I'll take you to your wife and ask." Liang Zhijie stared at the red mark on the corner of the man's mouth: "In the middle of the night, what did you do?" ”

"I didn't steal people, I didn't do those things like stealing chickens and dogs, my mouth is stumbling." The man covered the corners of his mouth: "Hey, there's nothing I can't say, I just went to drink with my friend." ”

The man deliberately burped: "Did you smell it?" Alcohol, I went drinking with my friend. ”

"Need to be struggling to drink?" Liang Zhijie stared at the man's eyes, the man's heart was weak, and he staggered his gaze.

"Not only did I drink, but I also went to dog gambling with my friend." The man lowered his voice: "My wife doesn't like me to go out to gamble, I didn't dare to tell her." I've been gambling on dogs for the past few days, and I lied to my wife that it was a hoe, but in fact there was no hoe, and I put the hoe at my friend's house. ”

"Bet on dogs?" Liang Zhijie frowned, and the man hurriedly raised his hand.

"Comrade policeman, I know it's illegal, and I promise I won't gamble again." The man swore an oath, and then whispered, with a little grievance, and said pitifully: "I can't afford to gamble anymore, I have no money, and I have lost." ”

"You know that dog fighting and gambling are illegal and you still participate in it? According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, whoever gathers a crowd to gamble for the purpose of profit or engages in gambling shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, short-term detention or controlled release, and shall also be fined. According to the provisions of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law", for the purpose of profit, providing conditions for gambling, or participating in gambling with a large amount of money, shall be detained for up to five days or fined up to 500 yuan; where the circumstances are serious, they are to be detained for between 10 and 15 days and fined between 500 and 3,000 RMB. Which one do you think fit? ”

"Am I the one who was detained for five days or fined five hundred yuan?" The man tentatively said, "What if I have meritorious service?" Is it possible to be exempt from punishment? ”

"Would you like to provide a place to bet on dogs?"

"This ......" the man hesitated, "Can I provide other clues?" For example, the case of Julie's murder? ”

"Providing false clues and misleading the case-handling personnel is an aggravated crime."

"I promise I'm telling the truth." The man raised his hand and swore: "My family lives over there, the house with a little red light, and the red light is my toilet." Every time I go to Zhuzhuang Village, I take this road, and my friend is from Zhuzhuang Village. On the night of the crime, it was about 10 o'clock in the evening, and I came over there, just like tonight, and walked home. ”

The man described the night.

"I also drank alcohol that day, not much, just two bottles of beer, and when the wind blew, I was a little drunk, but I wasn't drunk. The moonlight was not as good that night as it was this night, and it was a little dark. As I approached the graveyard, I heard a cough. ”

A layer of fear flashed in the man's eyes, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look deeper into the graveyard.

"Cough? What kind of cough? ”

"What kind of cough is there?" The fear in the man's eyes dissipated, and his shoulders twisted uncomfortably: "It's just a cough, a shallow sound, but it sounds especially obvious in the dark night when no one is around." I'm a person, I said I was bold and bold, and I was cowardly and cowardly, and I was really scared at that time. ”

"And then?"

I looked around and quickened my pace and took two steps forward. The man pointed to the place where Liang Zhijie was standing: "I came from over there, and I just walked to the place where you are standing, comrade policeman, when I heard a cough again." I looked into the graveyard. ”

"What do you see?"

"I saw a man." The man gestured: "A black man is standing in the middle of the Zhu family's graves. ”

"Do you see what he looks like?" Liang Zhijie asked eagerly, feeling that the murderer was right in front of him, and he could catch him as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"No, I didn't see it clearly, it was dark that day, and it was so far away, I couldn't see it clearly even if I wanted to." The man pointed to his eyes: "I have average eyesight, and I am a little short-sighted, if I hadn't heard those two coughs, I would have thought he was a ghost." ”

"He is most likely the murderer of Julie!"

"I didn't know at the time." The man said aggrievedly: "I really didn't know that he was killing someone, if I knew, I would have called the police, wouldn't I?" Then I saw a dark man standing in the middle of the graveyard, and before I could see whether he was a man or a ghost, a gust of wind blew over me. As soon as my back was cold, I ran away, and when I got home, I thought about it, but I didn't dare to think about it. ”

Liang Zhijie knew that he couldn't ask anything, and he was a little disappointed.

The man glanced at her and said quickly, "I didn't know that there was a dead person in this cemetery when the police car came." It's strange to think about, I've always passed this road, and I smell the stench when it's windy, but I don't think about the dead. Not only did I not think about it, but no one in this village thought about it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the village and ask if anyone else smells that smell it besides me. ”

"Are there many people who usually walk this path?"

"Not much, the roads in our village are well-developed, and everyone will choose the one that is convenient for them to walk. Our family lives in the middle of the road, and we are used to walking this road. In addition to me, there are several other families, almost all of them elderly. The man pointed to the door next door to their house: "The law and order in our village is very good, if it weren't for your police, if you hadn't said that there were dead people in this cemetery, we wouldn't have thought that there would be murders in our village." ”

"You haven't seen it in the graveyard? Normal people are curious. Under the moonlight, Liang Zhijie captured the micro-expressions on the man's face.
