The clue was interrupted again here, and Xu Shu could only use the most simple and simple method, that is, to find out one by one whether there were any eyewitnesses when Li Xiaohong died.

Jiang Qingrui heard this carpet search, and felt tired without starting to take a step forward in her body.

Jiang Wu and others are responsible for looking for other suspects who may appear, and inferring them one by one using the elimination method.

Their progress has reached Li Xiaohong's high school classmates, and there is no target yet.

After cheering each other on, Jiang Qingrui and Xu Shu went to the scene of the crime.

The place close to the reservoir is a suburb, and the remote can no longer be remote, and no one will approach it for ten days and half a month.

Jiang Qingrui has been squatting near the reservoir for several days in a row, dissuading two or three people who come here to fish.

"Did you see a woman driving over the other day?"

The result was a shake of the head in unison, the place was full of rocks and weeds, and there were no vehicles willing to come in.

"Girl, what you are asking is not a water in your brain."

An old man shook his head, completely unable to understand why the car was driving in.

"You young people always do this kind of unnecessary thing, so it is better to study and work more and put your time on the right path."

Jiang Qingrui lowered her head and obediently received training, the old man's posture was more like criticizing his granddaughter.

She also hopes that her brain is in water, and she doesn't run around every day for clues with little hope.

She already had no liking for the people passing by, and changed the direction of the next inquiry.

Jiang Qingrui and Xu Shulu looked for a few families along the surroundings, and they were the most likely to see the situation at that time.

"Have you noticed a person who is soaking wet?"

Xu Shu changed his account, and now it has been determined that there is a second person at the scene, and there is a high probability that he is the murderer.

He and Li Xiaohong rushed into the water together, and finally broke the car window to escape, logically speaking, the surrounding area is remote, surrounded by trees, only this road leads to the road, and the murderer has just come out of the water, and the characteristics are very obvious.

Under great psychological pressure, a person will quickly return to the place where he thinks he is safe, and he has no second way to choose.

"Nope."

Several families didn't see it, they had no reason to cover for the murderer, Jiang Qingrui speculated according to the time of death that the time of Li Xiaohong's death was at night, and it was normal for people to sleep at that point.

"Let him run away."

After asking around and getting no results, Jiang Qingrui hung her head and prepared to go home.

It was a childish voice that suddenly sounded, "I know! ”

A child had been hiding behind the adults, listening to them, and only opened his mouth when everyone had finished speaking.

"Did you find someone wet?"

In another village, Jiang Qingrui squatted down and looked at the child at eye level, and asked him patiently.

"I see it."

The child's milk voice is milky, ask and answer.

Jiang Qingrui: "When did you see it?" ”

"I get up at night and shush."

The child pointed to the land next to the house, meaning that he had seen it there.

Jiang Qingrui: "Can you tell my sister what that person was doing at the time." ”

"He stole my uncle's clothes."

The child pouted, looking unhappy.

"It's the same as in the cartoon, he sneaks back and forth, and at first glance, he doesn't notice that I'm peeking at him."

The child's mother pulled the child behind her at this time, "His uncle's house is next to him, you go and ask him." ”

Jiang Qingrui understands that this mother is afraid of involving her son in unnecessary cases.

"Thank you, that's a great help."

Jiang Qingrui took out a snack from her pocket, "Next time you encounter this situation, you have to protect yourself, and tell your parents as soon as you are safe." ”

After thanking the children, Xu Shu knocked on the door next door.

The door was opened by a man of five big and three thick, he looked at the two people, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm a police officer, and I want to ask you if you lost a piece of clothing the other day."

"Yes!"

The man pointed to the clothes pole outside, "I washed it and dried it there, and it was gone when I collected it the next morning." ”

There are often thieves in this place, and the small number is not worth much, so the residents do not pursue it too much.

The time of the loss of the clothes coincides with the time when the deceased left, and it can now be confirmed that there is a deeper truth about Li Xiaohong's death.

After learning that it was the child next to him, the man scratched his head, "What is he going to tell me, I was too busy with work at that time, I just thought I was a child to play." ”

With the man's traces, Xu Shu called up the surveillance based on the characteristics of the clothes described.

The only way for the murderer to leave is this road, and no matter how he walks, he can't escape the scope of surveillance.

Jiang Qingrui was full of confidence when she thought of this, and took a deep breath and came to the monitoring room.

Approaching the truth step by step, Jiang Qingrui adjusted the monitoring to the time period at that time, and observed it with bated breath.

There was not much traffic at night, and the darkness gave the man hidden confidence, but he didn't know that his actions had long been exposed to surveillance.

"It's this person."

Jiang Qingrui's sharp eyes found that there was a person wearing a hat, walking quickly along the side of the street, keeping his head down and hiding his face in the hat.

The clothes were fat and wide, covering the murderer's figure, and only the approximate height could be judged.

Jiang Qingrui was already thinking about whether the portraitist could draw the murderer's face based on this picture.

The murderer's trajectory was very strange, he did not rush back to the city at the first time, but kept walking on the road and made a big turn.

Jiang Qingrui couldn't figure out the murderer's thoughts, so she could only look at them one by one.

The murderer disappeared from the surveillance for a period of time, but it did not affect the police to judge his trajectory, Xu Shu quickly determined a road map, and locked the final location in a mountain forest according to the direction in which the murderer disappeared in the surveillance.

The environment in this mountain forest is worse than that of a reservoir, and the road to it is full of steep slopes and rocks, and you can fall if you are not careful.

The trees are abundant and dense, and if you can't determine the direction you are heading, you will soon be lost in this identical woods.

Xu Shu chose to send a few police officers to go with them during the day, and they walked along a relatively easy route, and there were no footprints of people passing by.

Eventually, a trace of burning was found somewhere in the forest.

Xu Shu collected the contents of the incineration and brought it back to the police station for analysis, and the results showed that all of them were fabrics of clothes.

It seems that the murderer chose to burn in the hidden mountain forest in order to cover up the traces of theft, and if there is no surveillance footage, no one will ever set foot in this remote place for the rest of his life.
