Chapter 8: Mezzanine

At the bottom of this brown purple sand tea set gift box, there is a mezzanine.

Li Meng gently pushed, and the mezzanine slowly appeared from the side.

At this moment, Li Meng and I glanced at each other and were stunned.

I subconsciously looked at Hao Zhiqiang behind me, he was still sitting very calmly on the workbench behind him, looking at us lightly.

I changed to a sideways position, so as to ensure that Li Meng and Hao Zhiqiang were within my line of sight.

Li Meng slowly pulled out this mezzanine, like a drawer, after the mezzanine was all pulled out, there were six gentlemen of the tea ceremony: tea rules, tea needles, tea drains, tea clips, teaspoons, and tea tubes.

Li Meng frowned suddenly, looked at this mezzanine carefully, and measured the size of the boxy with his hand.

She then examined the corners of the mezzanine and found no blood.

The size of this mezzanine can indeed put a kitchen knife, but whether this gift box is the one that Brother Liu saw that night is not necessarily.

It seems that if you want to investigate this case, you need to start from other directions.

"Does this set of tea sets cost a lot of money?" I smiled slightly, looked at Hao Zhiqiang, and asked a more vulgar question.

Hao Zhiqiang also smiled and said lightly: "They are all from the village, and everyone knows each other, and I only accepted a thousand yuan for this set of tea sets." ”

I looked at him and smiled firmly.

He is right, a complete set of tea sets like this handmade is indeed worth the price, and the price is still low. With such a set of exquisite purple sand tea sets in the store, the price will increase several times.

"With such a low price, it seems that you have a good relationship with Tao Yunshu's family." I smiled faintly, pretended not to care, and started chatting with him.

Hao Zhiqiang still showed a polite smile, this kind of smile would be particularly hypocritical if it was more or less, but he handled this measure very well.

It is not only polite, but also shows his temperament.

A man in his forties, who has lived in the village for a long time, has been farming for many years, and the wind and sun will make him look ten years older than his peers.

But Hao Zhiqiang is a craftsman, and he is a particularly high-minded person, so it is obvious that he will not go to farming.

So although he has the appearance that a forty-year-old should have, his temperament and speech and demeanor make him look younger.

"Everyone is from the same village, the relationship is good, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, in this life, who can't ask for anyone. Someone can ask you for help, which means that it is a trust in you, and the price or something is all floating clouds, something outside the body. Hao Zhiqiang said to us seriously.

Judging by his expression and tone, this is definitely not a slick statement, but his true emotion.

"Tao Yunshu's family was killed, do you have any ideas?" I nodded, and as soon as I changed the conversation, I suddenly brought the topic to the case, and asked straight to the point.

Hao Zhiqiang let out a long sigh and said quietly: "Tao Yunshu's family is good, I really don't understand why they suffered this catastrophe, alas, ......"

"You were the first to find out that their family had been killed, did you see anything strange at the time?" I steadied myself, looked into his gaze, and asked earnestly.

"Oddity?" Hao Zhiqiang looked at me with some puzzlement.

I smiled faintly and said to him, "For example, have you seen the murderer, or any suspicious person?" ”

I just wanted to test his reaction, because according to the autopsy results, the time of death of Tao Yunshu's family was early yesterday morning, and when Hao Zhiqiang found out, it was yesterday evening.

Nearly twenty hours apart, it was impossible for him to see the murderer.

Hao Zhiqiang looked at us in a daze, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything, but the lights were not turned on in the room at that time, and the door was closed." When I called and found that the phone was ringing in the house, I went directly to the neighbor's house to find Lao Liu. ”

I nodded and continued, "Where were you at one o'clock yesterday morning?" ”

"Yesterday morning?" Hao Zhiqiang looked at me with some puzzlement, and then said lightly: "I'm sleeping, my heart is not very good, I can't stay up late." ”

Hao Zhiqiang lives alone, he said that he was not present, and no one could make an alibi for him.

I pondered for a moment and nodded silently.

At this moment, my phone rang, and it was Lin Zifan calling.

They have all finished their investigation in the village and asked me if there is any progress here.

Li Meng and I left Hao Zhiqiang's house and went to meet Lin Zifan.

Everyone exchanged money in the courtyard of Tao Yunshu's house, briefly exchanged information, and after not getting any valuable clues, they returned to the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau by car.

Today is the first day of our official contact with the case, to be exact, only the fourth hour of our contact.

In the office of the criminal police team, we conducted the first analysis and summary of the case.

Xiao Ligong spoke first and reported to us the situation of the technical team's investigation of the scene: "Judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer was very cunning, the blood stains in the kitchen, corridor, and bedroom were all dragged through with a mop, and the body of the female deceased was dragged from the warehouse to the bedroom, but the murderer did not leave obvious traces.

None of the belongings in the deceased's home were tampered with, and there were no signs of rummaging in the room. The murderer did not rob money and kill people, and he was very careful in destroying evidence.

There are no signs of damage to the doors and windows, and the killer entered the room because the female deceased did not close the door at night.

No murder weapon was found at the scene, kitchen knives, bricks, and mops were missing. We carefully examined the murder scene and found no valuable fingerprints or footprints.

The autopsy report also came out, and the three deceased did not have any restraint injuries, resistance injuries, or coercion injuries, and no drugs, hallucinogens, or poisons were found in the blood samples. The fatal injuries to the male deceased were slashes to the head with a kitchen knife; The female deceased had blunt trauma to the head, and it was determined that the murder weapon was a brick, and the fatal injury was also a kitchen knife cut to the head; The child was choked by the neck and suffocated. ”

After listening to Xiao Ligong, we have a deeper understanding of this tragic case.

"It is clear that all three dead were killed unsuspectingly. What we need to think about now is whether the murderer is a person or a gang. Xue Hang said lightly.

"There is a high possibility that one person will commit the crime, but it cannot be completely ruled out that more than one person will commit the crime." Jiang Tingbai said seriously based on his experience in trace examination and the situation at the scene of the crime.

"One person can kill three people, and the first person he killed was Chen Xuechun in the courtyard, this should be an acquaintance who committed a crime." Lin Zifan said in a deep voice.
