After learning that the woman Chai Wenfang saw that night was a fool, Chen Yi couldn't help but frown.

Fools, like mentally ill people, are people who are not criminally responsible, and they lack cognitive ability and legal awareness, and they do things according to their own preferences, and it is impossible to speak any logic.

"Team Chen, this ......"

Zhuo Yun felt that the case might be solved soon, although the case was simple, but the suspect with mental retardation was actually difficult to deal with.

Not to mention anything else, whether or not you can get a confession smoothly is a big problem, and the trial is not much easier than that of those smart suspects.

Chen Yi stood in place and thought for a while, and said: "Let's talk about it when I see people, dragging people to death with a hammer into the City God Temple shows that she has a certain degree of cognition and independent action." ”

"Also, she has survived in Donghua Village for many years without any problems, but this time she killed an adult male in a very violent way...... There is nothing in the world that happens for no reason, and even fools have motives. ”

"Let's go, go and ask."

Several people nodded and followed Chen Yi's footsteps.

The earthen house was not far away, only a few hundred meters away, and Chen Yi and his party soon came to the door of the earthen house.

The wooden door is very broken, and after countless years of wind and rain, the surface has long been mottled.

There was no lock, only one deadbolt was still broken.

This kind of old house can be found in almost every village, and after the death of the elderly, whether there are children or not, relatives and descendants will not set foot again.

Chen Yi raised his hand and was about to push the door, when the door suddenly opened, and the woman in the portrait appeared in the sight of several people.

Although it was not yet summer and it was morning, the temperature was not low, but the woman was wearing a thick cotton jacket, and the dirty cotton was exposed in countless holes.

Seeing a group of people standing outside the door, the woman was obviously stunned, and then without waiting for Chen Yi to speak, she quickly closed the door as if she was frightened.

Everyone: "......"

It can be seen that the woman's brain does have some problems, and wearing a padded jacket on a hot day alone is the most intuitive evidence.

Click!

As the door closed, there was the sound of the latch locking, and it seemed that the latch inside was not broken.

Chen Yi tried to push, but did not push away.

This kind of dilapidated small wooden door can be torn apart with just one kick, but Chen Yi didn't do it, and after looking left and right, he walked to the low earthen wall next to it and looked inside.

The earthen wall is very low, only to Chen Yi's chest, many old houses are of this design, and they are not afraid of outsiders climbing over the wall to steal.

It's all a village, and the villagers won't have so many hearts and minds between them before, not to mention that they can save the cost of building houses.

In the courtyard, the woman looked at the direction of the gate with some horror, and did not notice Chen Yi who was picking up the wall at all.

Zhuo Yun and the others in the back followed suit and climbed the wall one after another to enter.

Hearing the movement, the woman turned her head suddenly, watching Chen Yi approach step by step, she was so frightened that she quickly retreated, and her feet were unstable and fell directly to the ground.

She was not too dirty, and crawled on the ground full of dirt to enter the room, but this time Zhuo Yun did not give her a chance, and quickly led the police to block her way.

The woman was surrounded, her body trembled, and she squatted and curled up in place, looking down and not daring to look.

Chen Yi scanned the entire courtyard, and finally fixed his gaze, walked to the earthen stove that had been abandoned for a long time, put on gloves, and picked up the hammer placed on it.

He took a closer look at the hammer, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then handed it to the officer behind him.

The officer placed the hammer in the large evidence bag.

When he came to the woman's side, Chen Yi also squatted down and tilted his head to look at her, and said, "We are policemen, can you understand what I am saying?" ”

The woman's body curled up tighter, and her head was buried deep in her knees.

Chen Yi: "Did you stone someone to death a month ago, if so, nod." ”

The woman didn't respond, and she didn't know if she didn't understand, or if she didn't want to answer.

Chen Yi and her inked for a long time, but did not get any feedback, even if this situation was brought back to the city bureau, it was useless, and it was possible that the other party was greatly stimulated because of the unfamiliar environment.

Since she can't ask anything, ask someone else.

"Leave two people to watch her for a while, and the others will follow me."

Chen Yi stood up, opened the latch and left the earthen house with Zhuo Yun and the others.

"Go to the whole village separately, ask everything you can about this woman, go farther, and leave the neighborhood to me."

Everyone: "Yes! ”

Qin Fei didn't follow, he stayed by Chen Yi's side, and his task was not only to investigate the case, but also to protect.

Chen Yi chose a small two-story building nearby and stepped forward to knock on the door.

Soon there was movement inside, and with the sound of the iron bolt rubbing against the iron sheet, the door opened.

It was a young woman, chewing food in her mouth, probably eating.

"Looking for whom?" The woman saw two strange men knocking on the door, with doubts on their faces.

Chen Yi took out his ID and said politely: "Hello, we are policemen, there are some things I want to know from you, is it convenient?" ”

The woman glanced at the police badge on the ID, did not hesitate, and gave up her position: "Come in." ”

As long as there is no nerve or a ghost in the heart, no one will be idle and bored to refuse the police, and there is no benefit.

"Thanks, that's really intrusive."

"It's okay, it's okay."

In the open-air courtyard, the dining table was set up, and there were two children eating on their stomachs, and the father of the children was also there.

Knowing that the police came to the door, the man warmly greeted Chen Yi and Qin Fei for breakfast, and after the two politely refused, they sat on the chairs brought by the woman, chatting while letting each other eat.

"Are you dumb?" The man took a bite of the big steamed bun and said, "She has been serious in our village for many years, has she been a child for twenty years?" ”

The woman replied, "There must have been, it must have been more than twenty years, when I was very young, and the mute was in the village at that time, and no one knew where she came from." ”

The husband nodded and looked at Chen Yi: "Officer, what's wrong with the dumb, did you find her biological parents?" You said that it is not a loss of conscience, even if the child is dumb, it can't be thrown away, fortunately it is to come to our village, otherwise it is possible to let the wild dogs take it away. ”

Chen Yi didn't answer this question and said, "I saw her just now, it seems that there is something wrong with her intelligence?" ”

Man: "Yes, it's a fool, she doesn't understand what we say, she knows how to eat, drink, and sleep, it's quite pitiful." ”

Chen Yi: "Does she have violent tendencies?" ”

The man was stunned: "Huh? Violent? What do you mean? ”

Chen Yi: "For example, occasionally I attack others inexplicably. ”

The man smiled: "That's not true, although the dumb is stupid, but very sensible, over the years, the two of us have often given her food, she is very grateful, seeing us always laughing, dancing, just with ...... Well, don't mind if I say that, it's like feeding a stray dog, wagging your tail diligently. ”

The words were not rough, and Chen Yi understood what he wanted to express.

"Have you ever hit anyone?" Chen Yi asked.

Man: "No, the children in the village bullied her before, but she never fought back, every time she just kept running, and she was very timid." ”

Hearing this, Qin Fei on the side sighed, indeed pitiful.

Chen Yi sensed that something was wrong, since he had never beaten anyone for so many years, and he didn't fight back when he was beaten, why did he smash the victim to death with a hammer a month ago? smashed it so hard, as if it had a deep hatred.

He continued: "Has she been stimulated in recent months, or has her mood suddenly changed a lot. ”

The man hesitated: "This ...... I really didn't pay attention, dumb people are not normal people, even if my mood changes, I can't see it. ”

"Officer, what's going on?"

He was very curious.

Chen Yi: "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for us to say more. ”

The man gave up: "Okay. ”

Chen Yi: "Does she have any enemies?" Bullied her often. ”

The man thought for a moment: "No, who can she make a feud with." ”

Chen Yi: "For 20 years, have dumb people been like this every day? ”

The man nodded: "Yes, it's all like this, when you are full, you will walk around the village, stand by and watch when you meet children playing, and if you have red and white things, you will also help do some dirty work, just to eat some leftovers." ”

"Oh?" Chen Yi further asked: "Being able to help with the work shows that the dumb person is not too stupid, and he still has a little cognition, right?" ”

Man: "Well, that's right, I think there should be the IQ of a five- or six-year-old child, right?" She can understand simple words. ”

Chen Yi: "For example? ”

The man thought for a while and said, "For example, if we cook too much food, go out and shout a dumb person to eat?" She ran over with her bowl on her face excited. ”

Chen Yi realized that the mute should be able to understand his words, but he just refused to answer.

"Whether anything special happened to her or not, many years ago." Chen Yi began to advance the time point and fully understand the past of the dumb girl.

This question made the man's face flash a touch of unnaturalness, and Chen Yi caught it.

Next to her, the woman who was eating also paused, and soon returned to normal.

Chen Yi glanced at the two of them, waiting for an answer.

"Nope." After the man finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, "Dumb people are like this every day, there is nothing special in my impression, do you have an impression?" ”

The young woman shook her head silently and continued to eat.

Chen Yi: "Both, we are investigating a major criminal case, and I hope you can answer the questions truthfully, thank you very much." ”

He didn't change his attitude and was still polite.

Man: "Not really, if there is, can I not tell you?" Why don't you ask someone else? I'm not impressed. ”

Chen Yi didn't ask a third time, but changed the subject: "Are there any missing people in the village recently?" Or they haven't been back for a long time, which everyone thinks is strange. ”

Man: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Chen Yi said goodbye and left.

When the door closed, he glanced back, the two of them had something to hide just now, but they didn't know if it had anything to do with the case.

"Let's go and ask an older one."

Before the identity of the deceased is found out, it is necessary to collect as many clues as possible, and the concealment of the couple just now gave Chen Yi an intuition that there may be a secret on the dumb girl.

Whether it has anything to do with this case or not, it has to be investigated.
