Lao Li is not a bold person, on the contrary, he is a very timid person, the reason why he signed up to participate in the night patrol is because he is short of money, he needs money, even if it is only three hundred yuan more per month, for him, it is a thing worth celebrating.

Money, can be more or less, who made him incapable, and he can't even keep a serious job.

Lao Fan didn't think about what to do with Lao Li, on the contrary, he sympathized with him and felt that they were people in the same boat, and they all bent their waists for five buckets of rice. The reason why he chose Lao Li was because Lao Li was timid and had a good reputation, and he wanted to borrow Lao Li's mouth to make rumors of haunting on the construction site.

He didn't know that Lao Li had a heart attack, he didn't know that Lao Li couldn't stand the stimulation, the two of them slept on the same bunk bed for so long, Lao Li never said about it.

He didn't know that people would really be scared to death, after all, he had lived most of his life, and he had never seen anyone scared to death. When Lao Li under the mound of sand maintained that posture and did not move, he thought that Lao Li had discovered him. He didn't know what people look like when they're scared to death.

In the gloomy moonlight, he looked at Lao Li's motionless face and really felt the loss of life. At that moment, he thought about a lot of things, called the police, turned himself in, was beaten by Lao Li's family, and was complained by his own family. When all kinds of emotions were intertwined, he smiled, and this laugh came inexplicably.

His facial features began to be hideous, and his emotions fell into unprecedented madness, and he felt that God was helping him, helping him to plunge this construction site into chaos. He even gritted his teeth and thought hatefully: "All this is caused by them, if it weren't for the construction site that owed him wages, if it wasn't for the construction site that made his family unable to live, he wouldn't have made such a crooked idea, and Lao Li wouldn't have died." ”

Under the moonlight, his eyes turned scarlet, and he said to Lao Li, who had lost his life: "If you want to complain, blame them, become a ghost, and go to them." ”

People are two-sided, one side is an angel, the other is a devil, and Lao Fan at that time was controlled by the demon and became a devil.

That night, as he faced Lao Li's dead body, his brain began to run at high speed, and he concocted an alibi that he thought was perfect, and made up half-truths about encounters with ghosts on patrol, and no one suspected him until the police intervened.

At this time, Lao Fan had already walked out of his demons, he slapped himself twice, knelt on the ground and sincerely repented: "I'm sorry for Lao Li, I killed him." I didn't want to run, and I didn't even want to cover it up. I think when I get my salary, I'll turn myself in after arranging the old and young people in the family. Even if it wasn't intentional, I'm willing to pay for the mistakes I made and accept the punishment I deserve. ”

The arrears of wages and the lives of the dead, Liang Zhijie doesn't know whose life Lao Li should be counted on.

If Lao Fan's wages were not in arrears at the construction site, Lao Fan would not have pretended to be a ghost, and Lao Li would not have died.

If Lao Fan knew how to use the law to ask for his salary, Lao Li would not have died.

If Lao Li didn't have a heart attack, if Lao Fan told Lao Li about it, the ending might not be the same.

However, there are not so many ifs in life, what should happen, what shouldn't happen, it happens.

Lao Li's cause of death was sudden death from a heart attack, but it was Lao Fan's grimace mask that caused his death, and Lao Fan had to pay the price for what he did.

"Where did the Grimace Mask come from? Where did you hide it after the incident? ”

"Picked up, really picked up." Lao Fan lowered his head: "In the grass next to our construction site, I went to untie my hands and saw the mask, I thought it was funny, so I wanted to take it home to the child, but I forgot it." Later, I used it to pretend to be a ghost. ”

"Haven't you seen that mask before?"

"I don't think I've seen it, and no one goes to that meadow." Lao Fan explained: "There is a fence over there, which is surrounded by iron sheets. A while ago, a strong wind blew, and the iron sheet was lifted together, just enough for a person to bend over. I went there because it was close to the tower crane, so it was very convenient to relieve myself. ”

"When was the mask discovered?"

"The day after the accident on the construction site." Lao Fan stretched out his finger: "Just when I made trouble with the human skin lantern, I also remembered to pretend to be a ghost because of that." ”

Liang Zhijie's gaze collided with Li Fei and them, and they seemed to know how that person had come and gone without a trace.

"Where's the mask?"

"When I first picked it up, I put the tower crane on it, and I drove the tower crane myself, and I was working overtime alone, and no one knew about the mask on it."

"Where is it now?"

"In the mound of sand, I buried it."

Liang Zhijie gave Li Fei a look, and Li Fei immediately drove to the construction site.

Because Lao Li died in front of the sand mound, the sand mound still maintains its original appearance. The mask was not buried deeply, and it was gouged out by Li Fei in three or two clicks. He put the mask in the evidence bag, took the mask to Wu Yuanqiang, and confirmed that the mask was the one he saw on the night of the human skin case.

Li Fei brought the mask back to the team, hoping to get favorable information from the mask, but there was nothing else on it except Lao Fan's fingerprints.

Liang Zhijie was right, the suspect was thoughtful, and he did not leave any evidence on the mask.

When Lao Fan was taken away, Liang Zhijie asked one more question, and it was this seemingly redundant sentence that left a very critical button for the future investigation of the case.

What she asked, "Who was that friend who gave you the idea?" Is he also on your site? ”

Lao Fan replied: "No, he is not on our construction site, his name is Liu Zhihong is a security guard, I met when I was having breakfast." We live very close, and in our free time, we will meet up to fish, play chess, etc. He doesn't talk much, but he has a lot of knowledge, and I am a good friend with him. ”

Speaking of Liu Zhihong, Lao Fan showed a rare relaxed smile on his face: "Don't go to him, he has nothing to do with this matter, I casually complained to him when we were fishing, and he casually said a few words to me." He was joking, I took it seriously. I don't have many friends, but he's one of them, and I don't want to trouble him because of me. ”

"You're good friends?"

"Forget the New Year, the kind that can be regarded as a confidant." Lao Fan rubbed his hands: "He is much younger than me, but he has experienced no less things than me, it is he who makes me understand that it is not easy for people to live, and when it is time to fight for breath, you have to fight for breath." I am not highly educated, I worked on construction sites in my teens, and I am often looked down upon, even my wife looks down on me, and my face is not my face, and my nose is not my nose. He is the only person who is willing to talk to me, and the only person who does not dislike me, has no requirements for me, and can still be friends with me. ”

"It's rare to have a confidant in life, but it's a pity that because of his words, you went astray."
