Chapter 41: Go to Li Xiumei's hometown
Read all the case materials.
Many of the speculations I and the Seventh Master had before to be overturned.
For example, Lu Zhengxian and Li Xiumei's original crime was to take money to do things, they were hired, and the person who hired them was the first criminal in the 'Seven Deaths for Lives'.
And the reason why Lu Zhengxian and Li Xiumei collected money to do things was because Li Xiumei was seriously ill and had no money for treatment.
This is the first time that seven deaths have been exchanged, and in the end, I don't know who benefited, it could be the first criminal, or someone close to him.
Later, Lu Zhengxian and Li Xiumei fled to Lanjiang City, and that year there was a case of seven deaths for lives in Lanjiang City, and since then, Lu Zhengxian has become Du Ruhai, has been entrenched in Lanjiang City, and has become a figure who covers the sky with one hand.
It can be seen that the second exchange of seven deaths for life is very likely to be done by Lu Zhengxian, in order to take away the real Du Ruhai.
However, the evil art of exchanging seven deaths for life is an evil art that few people know and is extremely difficult to operate.
The first criminal may have mastered this evil art, and it was inconvenient for him to kill people, so he hired Lu Zhengxian.
But since Lu Zhengxian was hired, he was just a killing tool, how could he know the specific process and operation of exchanging seven deaths for life, and then implemented it a second time in Lanjiang City, and successfully took Du Ruhai?
I'm thinking, unless it's the first criminal who passed on this evil art to Lu Zhengxian in its entirety.
Therefore, the relationship between the first criminal and Lu Zhengxian may not be so simple.
This just reveals the identity of a person again.
It's the one we summoned the spirits that night to wreak havoc.
At that time, I thought that person was sent by Lu Zhengxian to prevent Li Xiumei's ghost from leaking secrets.
But the seventh master said that the person may not have been sent by Lu Zhengxian, but he has a certain relationship with Lu Zhengxian and Li Xiumei, and he may be the one involved in the case.
It's just that we didn't know so much information at the time, and it was just speculation.
But now, that person's identity can already coincide with the first criminal.
Then the problem arises again.
Since that person that night was the first criminal who died fifteen years ago, why did he answer me after I escaped from the villa last night?
Didn't he want me to be caught? What is the gap between him and Lu Zhengxian?
If he hadn't picked me up last night, I would have been caught by the security guards.
"I think I might have to go to Li Xiumei and Lu Zhengxian's hometown."
I told Song Xiaotian what I thought and asked for his opinion.
Song Xiaotian looked at me: "Do you want to go to the hometown of these two people and inquire about the people who hired Lu Zhengxian and Li Xiumei back then?" ”
I nodded: "At least Li Xiumei's family may have seen that employer, and it was that employer who gave Li Xiumei's family 90,000 yuan, so that Li Xiumei's younger brother could have money for treatment." ”
Song Xiaotian knocked on the table and said with a smile: "If you can find out who the employer is, then the case-handling personnel would have found out a long time ago, do you see that it is written in the information?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, it must not have been written on the information......
Damn, why am I stupid all of a sudden.
In such a big case back then, the case-handling personnel must have been experts in criminal investigation, and they were much more professional than me.
They can't find it, how can I find it.
And that employer must not be so stupid, and he went to see Li Xiumei's family, isn't this a trouble for himself.
Song Xiaotian deserves to have been a policeman, and he slapped me in the face at once.
"But I still want to go."
I said: "Although Lu Zhengxian has become Du Ruhai, I think no matter how bad a person is, he will have a little softness in his heart towards his relatives, he should have returned to his hometown in these years, maybe he can get some clues." ”
Song Xiaotian nodded: "Maybe, but if you go this time, there will be an accident if you don't have to do it, if Lu Zhengxian really goes back to his hometown, then he is still paying attention to his family in his heart, in case you go to his hometown and are known by him, you may be in trouble." ”
I said no way, Meng Yifan is my iron buddy, and the seventh master is the one who helped me, he is even more innocent, and I have to go on this trip anyway.
"Then you're quite affectionate."
Song Xiaotian shook his head: "What came out to talk about it is a righteous word, I appreciate you, I'll accompany you this time, if something happens to you, I can't explain it to Xiaoman." ”
Someone accompanied me, and I naturally couldn't ask for it.
But I'm not embarrassed to trouble people all the time.
I forcibly stuffed a few thousand yuan to Song Xiaotian, after all, he has been fired from the police force and has no income.
Love is love and righteousness, and I can't just pick up other people's wool because of love.
After discussing with Song Xiaotian, we immediately bought a ticket to Qin Island.
Fifteen years ago, the murder case took place on Qindao, and the hometowns of Lu Zhengxian and Li Xiumei were also on Qindao.
I first cycled back to my rental house to pack my luggage, and then went to the airport with Song Xiaotian.
The plane was quick, arriving in two hours.
But when I arrived at the airport, I had to take a bus, because Li Xiumei and Lu Zhengxian's hometowns were in the countryside, and they were poor places, and only buses could get there.
It was a bumpy ride, and after a few hours, it was already dark.
Li Xiumei and Lu Zhengxian's hometowns are both in the same township, but not in the same village.
The two villages are quite close, one is Lijia Village, the other is Lujiagou, and the data records that the two villages go back and forth in less than 40 minutes.
I discussed it with Song Xiaotian and decided to go to Lijia Village first, that is, the village where Li Xiumei's house is located.
To be honest, the mountain roads are really difficult to walk, and although many places in the countryside today have big roads, there are still some places that remain poor.
This Lijia Village is still poor, and you can imagine how poor it was more than ten years ago.
When we arrived at this village, it took us nearly an hour, and when we looked ahead, we found that the village was not small, and many houses had been built.
But those houses are very dilapidated, and less than half of them are lit.
In general, this village is not very popular, and young people should have gone out to work.
I'm going to ask the family first, ask which direction Li Xiumei's home is, and then I have to find a place to live and see if I can spend the night.
At this time, I happened to pass by a small abandoned bungalow.
This small bungalow has two floors, but at first glance it looks like it has been abandoned for many years, and the walls are covered with moss, which looks eerie.
Song Xiaotian on the side suddenly grabbed me and didn't let me go forward.
I asked him what was wrong, and he said in a trembling voice, "Do you think there are still people living in this house?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and said that it was all in tatters, and there must be no one living there.
"Then why is there a person there......" Song Xiaotian pointed in one direction.
He was referring to the outside of the gate on the first floor.
When I looked at it, I was startled that there seemed to be a person lying there, and it seemed to be an old man.
But the old man was crushed by a collapsed door.
I was startled again, because if the old man were a living man...... Why didn't he call it?
