While our police were closely monitoring Liujiapu Village, Hao Zhiqiang, a craftsman in the village, suddenly fled the village.

"Hao Zhiqiang was the first to discover the scene of the crime, and the deceased's family also asked him to customize a set of expensive purple clay pot tea sets, he doesn't seem to have any motive to kill." Li Meng muttered.

Now we have a search warrant in hand and are searching Hao Zhiqiang's residence.

"The police of the county police station have set up a card in Liujiapu Village, and all villagers who need to go out must report. There was a murder in the village, why did this person sneak away? I frowned, puzzled.

"Whether it is the motive for the murder or the conditions of the crime, Hao Zhiqiang does not seem to be the suspect we imagined. Why did he come to Tao Yunshu's house in the middle of the night? If he hadn't met Chen Xuechun who got up at night at that time, then how would he complete the murder case? Li Meng was still a little puzzled, and she kept telling us the questions in her heart.

After a while, Jiang Tingbai, who was searching in the courtyard, suddenly shouted at us: "Come and see!" ”

Xiao Ligong and the criminal police continued to search Hao Zhiqiang's residence, and after the members of the serious crime team heard Jiang Tingbai's voice, they ran towards him together.

"Old dog, what did you find?!" I hurried to his side and asked him.

"Look here." Jiang Tingbai pointed to the ground in the corner of the courtyard and said seriously.

This is a corner of the yard, and the dirt on the ground is a little darker, which is different from the dirt on the ground in other places.

"There are obvious excavations, and the excavation is very close." Lin Zifan looked at the ground and said in a deep voice.

"There must be something down here." Jiang Tingbai smiled and said coldly.

"What? Do you smell something? Li Meng looked at him in a daze and asked softly.

Jiang Tingbai frowned suddenly, and said with some puzzlement: "Do you still need to smell this?" Fools know that there's something buried underneath this, after all, who wouldn't have to dig a yard? ”

"It seems that when Hao Zhiqiang escaped from Liujiapu Village, he also took the time to bury something in the yard." I smiled slightly, for I could already vaguely guess what was buried underneath.

"It must be a murder weapon." Xue Hang stood aside and said in a cold voice.

"Dig!"

I waved my hand, and several detectives immediately took picks and shovels from the yard and began the excavation.

Obviously, the excavation and burial here was particularly hasty, the soil has not been tamped, and the soil has not been camouflaged and covered up after restoration.

A strange thought suddenly occurred to me, could it be that this was specially discovered by us? It can't be a blame, right?

While thinking about it, the criminal police suddenly felt that their shovel had touched a hard object, and everyone hurriedly cast their eyes.

Immediately after, a kitchen knife appeared in front of us.

Jiang Tingbai took out gloves from his pocket and put them on, gently picked up the kitchen knife and observed it carefully.

Obviously, if this kitchen knife has nothing to do with this case, how could it be buried in the yard?

Jiang Tingbai looked at it, and suddenly found that this kitchen knife had several curly blades.

The kitchen knife has a thin blade and a thin edge, and it is usually very sharp when cutting vegetables, but once it is used to chop or chop ingredients with bones, there will be a sharp mouth or a curled edge.

So, this kitchen knife must have chopped through something hard.

The fatal injuries of the two deceased in this case, Tao Yunshu and Chen Xuechun, were slashed on the head with a kitchen knife.

"This must be the murder weapon, or who will dig a hole and bury the kitchen knife with a curly blade?!" Xiao Ligong was very excited, and now he has discovered the murder weapon, which is a major breakthrough in this case.

Finding the murder weapon means that the murderer's fingerprints can be collected, and in this way, the murder case is solved!

"There was no blood, it must have been cleaned." After Jiang Tingbai observed carefully, he said lightly.

"This shows that this is a murder weapon, otherwise who would clean the kitchen knife and bury it." Xiao Ligong said excitedly, but as he spoke, his face suddenly showed a melancholy expression: "If it is carefully cleaned up, then the evidence is likely to be destroyed." ”

Jiang Tingbai looked at the kitchen knife in his hand repeatedly, and muttered: "It's really very carefully cleaned, but there must be places that he can't wash." ”

After he finished speaking, he took the cotton swab handed over by the criminal police of the technical team, gently stuffed the cotton swab into the junction between the blade of the kitchen knife and the wooden handle, rubbed it gently, and then took it out.

Then, he put a few more drops of phenolphthalein on the cotton swab, and the swab turned red.

"It's bloodstains, but it's not very small, so let's try it." Jiang listened to Bai Shen's voice, and began to do fingerprint collection on the kitchen knife again.

However, after careful cleaning, no fingerprint clues were found on the kitchen knife.

Jiang Tingbai was a little helpless, let out a long sigh, and put the kitchen knife and cotton swab into the evidence bag respectively.

"The kitchen knife was buried in the courtyard of Hao Zhiqiang's house, and Hao Zhiqiang has suddenly fled now, although it is not ruled out that the murderer deliberately buried the blame, but Hao Zhiqiang is still suspected of committing a major crime." Lin Zifan said in a deep voice.

I nodded, agreed with this point of view, and said to Xiao Ligong: "Apply for an arrest warrant immediately and arrest Hao Zhiqiang." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Ligong immediately replied, and we saw a long-lost smile on his face.

Regardless of the outcome of this case, the motive for the murder and the process of committing the crime, we can all breathe a long sigh of relief now.

Although the murder weapon was found, something very important was still missing from the chain of evidence, and that was the motive for the killing.

Moreover, there are no fingerprints of Hao Zhiqiang on the murder weapon, which still cannot be used as ironclad evidence to charge Hao Zhiqiang.

Thinking of this, we continued to search Hao Zhiqiang's home.

After about an hour, we have conducted a thorough search of Hao Zhiqiang's home, and we have found no clues other than the curly bladed kitchen knives excavated in the yard.

But now that the murder weapon has been found, we are not far from the murderer.

We returned to the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau with the curly bladed kitchen knife, and immediately sent the bloodstains extracted from the kitchen knife for examination, and through the comparison of DNA maps, it has been further confirmed whether the murderer on it belongs to the deceased in this case.

That's when we received good news.

Hao Zhiqiang caught it.

He was at the train station to buy a ticket and go to his son's house, but he was caught red-handed by the police at the train station, and now he is on his way to the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau where we are located.

We looked at each other and smiled, this time, we had to get some news from Hao Zhiqiang's mouth, especially the curly-bladed kitchen knife in his yard.
