"I asked several of Zhou Guohua's neighbors, and the elderly couple of one of them said that at noon on May 18, the day Zhou Kairui disappeared, he had heard the cry of a child coming from Zhou Guohua's house."

At that time, he thought that Zhou Guohua's youngest grandson came back from the hospital, and he was going to ask how the child was, but he didn't know that after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. Coupled with the fact that he didn't hear the child's cry anymore, he thought he had heard something wrong and didn't take it seriously. ”

"Then this cry is likely to be Zhou Kairui's! Team Leader Liao, have you confirmed this problem with other neighbors? ”

Liao Xingyu shook his head, "I've already asked, but the others said they didn't pay attention." ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little disappointed.

Zhou Fan encouraged, "Don't be too frustrated, this at least proves that our efforts today were not in vain, and there were indeed people in Zhou Guohua's family that day." ”

According to their neighbors, Zhou Yucheng fell ill on the 24th, and the family sent him to the city overnight. In other words, Zhou Guohua should have returned to the village before 11 o'clock in the morning to commit another crime. ”

"But today the people in their village said that they had not seen the father and son come back, which should be that they consciously avoided the villagers, but the town is densely crowded, and no matter how careful they are, they may bump into a few acquaintances."

"That's ...... I suggest that tomorrow we intensify our visits to the town and perhaps make discoveries. ”

"That's all it can be now."

"Okay, then go to bed early, and get up tomorrow morning and act immediately!"

The night passed.

Everyone got up at six o'clock in the morning, and after breakfast, everyone began to visit the town as promised last night.

The town is different from the big city, because it is basically those faces who come and go every day, and over time they will have an impression of each other, which is probably a major feature of a rural town.

Therefore, it is relatively easy for them to get up, and as long as they take out the photos, the merchants in the town can basically recognize the father and son.

But when asked if they had seen father and son three years ago on May 18th, everyone just shook their heads.

"Comrade policeman, we can't remember what happened for so long."

"Sorry I don't remember, we come and go every day, not to mention that it was three years ago."

“……”

I asked several companies in a row, and I got the same answer.

After coming out, Lin Jie couldn't help but say, "Team leader, I don't think this is reliable at all." ”

"If it's okay in a month or two, maybe everyone can still remember some, but who can remember the events of four years ago so clearly?"

"We all know what you said, but now the key is not that there is no evidence, so we can only try our luck."

As the two spoke, they walked into a car repair shop that was repairing tires.

After identifying himself to the boss who was sitting on the tricycle and playing with his mobile phone, Luo Fei immediately took out a photo of Zhou Dahu's father and son.

"Boss, take a look, do you have an impression of these two people?"

"This is not Zhou Dahu, we are junior high school classmates, of course we know each other."

"Comrade policeman, what are you looking for him? Did he commit a crime? ”

"You don't care about this, we just want to ask if you saw him in the town in mid-May three years ago?"

"Three years ago......" the boss hesitated.

Just when Luo Fei and the others thought that this trip was going to be in vain, they saw the boss suddenly ask, "Is it the time when his child was hospitalized and had to undergo surgery?" ”

This...... Could it be that there is a play?!

Luo Fei was instantly pleasantly surprised, "That's right, that's it, do you have an impression!" ”

"I remember that it was May 18th, my father-in-law's birthday, so I closed the door at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and took my wife and children back to my father-in-law's house for dinner."

"My father-in-law is in the village next door to them, and people from Baimao Village have to pass by their village when they come to town. Everyone was there that night, so I had two more drinks with my eldest brother, and when I came back, it might have been ten or eleven o'clock. ”

"When I drove to the Datian Dam, a figure suddenly jumped up on the side of the road, and if I hadn't braked fast, I almost hit it......"

"So you're drunk driving?" Luo Fei suddenly said.

The boss, who was still talkative, was instantly speechless and looked annoyed.

secretly said that he didn't have a door on his mouth, so why did he tell this matter.

"Actually, I didn't drink much, just a few glasses...... Comrade policeman, don't you even care about the work of the traffic police? ”

"Don't worry, we're not in charge. However, for the health of your family, don't do this kind of thing in the future, it's too late to regret it, even if something doesn't happen, being found will affect your child's public examination. ”

"Understand, that's it, I've never driven and drunk again, I swear!"

Luo Fei reminded him twice, and didn't care if he was telling the truth or not.

"Tell me about it, after you came back from your father-in-law's house, when did you bump into Zhou Dahu in the town?"

"Because the person I almost bumped into is Zhou Dahu."

How coincidental is it?

Luo Fei and Zhang Wei glanced at each other, excited.

"Boss, can you tell us more about the situation?"

"I almost hit someone at that time, I was so scared that I woke up with a lot of spirit, and then I wanted to get out of the car and reason with the other party, but when I looked at it, I found out that it was Zhou Dahu's kid."

"At that time, I was quite inexplicable, and asked him why he didn't take the small road instead of taking the good road, if I hadn't reacted quickly, he would have to give an explanation."

He said that the child in the family was sick and needed surgery, but he still lacked some documents. He came back to get his papers, and he took the back road because he wanted to cut corners, but I always felt that he didn't tell me the truth. ”

"Why?"

"What do you mean by that...... As soon as I opened the door that morning, I happened to see his father passing by in front of my store, in the direction of returning to the village, but I was very anxious to see the back, and he didn't pay attention to me when I called twice in the back. ”

"So if there is really a lack of documents, the old man will send them to the city during the day, and then he will use the dark light to run back in the middle of the night to get it?"

"Did you ask him that question?"

"No, it's all someone else's family matter, I don't want to ask about this, but I guess he should have come back to get some home remedies for the child again."

The boss said indescribably, "My classmate doesn't know what to say about him, a man in his thirties, but he just has a brain." ”

"I have persuaded him before, the doctor said that he should treat the child how to treat it, at least he is more professional than us people, right? But he insisted that the surgery was harmful, and the anesthetic also affected the child's intelligence, and the family insisted on searching for home remedies everywhere. ”

As a result, the child's illness was not cured, and all the money he had spent as a contractor over the years was still in it...... At that time, I knew that he was in a hurry to get back to the city, and I heard that the car he hailed was waiting for him in the town, so I dropped him back to the town. ”

After getting this clue, Luo Fei called Zhao Donglai as soon as he came out of the car repair shop.

"Team Zhao, I suggest that Zhou Guohua's father and son be summoned immediately, and I will apply to search Zhou Guohua's home."

With the confession of the owner of the car repair shop, Zhao Donglai did not object, "Yes, you can take the village cadres in the village directly, and I will send the search procedures to your mobile phone later." ”

"Understood."

Luo Fei informed Liao Xingyu and the others separately.

In the end, it was decided that Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu would take the members of the first and second groups to search the Zhou family, and the rest would stay in the town to continue the visit.

The group went to the local village committee again, and after taking out the search procedures, several village cadres were still very cooperative, and immediately accompanied them to Zhou Guohua's home.

Witnessed by several village cadres, they directly asked the town's locksmith to open the door lock of Zhou Guohua's house.

When you open the door, you will be greeted by lush greenery.

Because it has been left unattended for a long time, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and there is almost no place to put your feet.

Luo Fei stood in front of the gate, glanced at it casually, and suddenly fixed his gaze on the land under an orange tree by the courtyard wall.

"He Xin, you go to the people's house next to you to borrow two hoes, dig under the tree and see if there is anything in it."

Seeing that the land was constantly emitting black gas, Luo Fei was not in a hurry to enter the house to search for physical evidence.

As soon as he had given the order, he cleared the weeds and headed for the place.

Liao Xingyu followed him.

"Luo Fei, what's wrong with this land?" ”

"Hmm."

Seeing him nodding, Liao Xingyu suddenly muttered.

Luo Fei is too godly, right, you can know that something is wrong with this land at a glance?

didn't explain anything to him, and after He Xin and the others borrowed the hoe, Luo Fei pointed to a place and asked Zhang Wei and He Xin to dig it up.

After only a few digs, He Xin felt that the hoe had touched something.

"Wait a minute!"

He immediately stopped Zhang Wei, then squatted down and gouged up with his right hand, and soon a corner of the cloth that could no longer be seen clearly in its original color was revealed.

The two of them worked together, and after a while, they dug out a cloth ball, which should be something like a bed sheet.

The cloth ball was opened, and there was a child's coat, two rusty kitchen knives and daggers, and a small tiger doll.

Almost at a glance, Liao Xingyu and the others present affirmed that the coat and doll were Zhou Kairui's things.

Because when he got lost with the child, these items appeared in the characteristics described by his grandmother.

Liao Xingyu instantly became excited.

He looked at Luo Fei with incredulity, "I'll go to Luo Fei, how do you know that there's something buried underneath here?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wei and the others also looked at him with the same curiosity.

Luo Fei had already thought of a countermeasure, and directly calmly pointed to a few burned incense candles inserted in the soil on the side, "It's very simple, they can't be paying tribute to this tree." ”

If it's not a memorial tree, it can only be a person.

But if you want to pay tribute to your deceased relatives, you can go to the grave to pay respects, why should they be at home? Unless they dare not go to each other's graves to pay respects.

Thinking about this truth, Liao Xingyu directly gave Luo Fei a thumbs up, "Gao, Luo Fei, your observation is really too strong!" ”

"Team Leader Liao, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to the back of the yard and have a look."

"Okay, go ahead...... Gao, hurry up and bring a few evidence bags. He Qiang, evacuate everyone and immediately block this courtyard. ”

"And Lin Jie, remember to give these two knives a few close-ups when you take pictures and videos, I suspect that this is likely to be the murder weapon. Su Yang immediately called Team Zhao to inform us of the discovery here. ”

Under Liao Xingyu's arrangement, everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

The detective named He Qiang also walked towards the crowd of onlookers.

Just now, so many of them came to open Zhou Guohua's door, which attracted the curiosity of many villagers.

At this moment, everyone gathered in a circle, talking about what the police had dug up.

It took He Qiang a lot of saliva to let them disperse.

Here, after Zhao Donglai received Su Yang's call, he was also excited.

If the murder weapon is really found, then this case will be solved for the most part.

He immediately called Li Jun.

"Li Jun, Luo Fei and they are suspected of digging up the murder weapon at Zhou Guohua's house, you immediately take someone over and send the things back for comparison. and by the way, he also picked up Zhou Guoan and asked him to identify whether the clothes dug up were Zhou Kairui's. ”

"Roger."

Li Jun, who received the order, immediately beckoned the members of the three groups to gather.

Several people first rushed to the fourth group to pick up Zhou Guoan, and then went to Zhou Guohua's second group.

At present, it is almost certain that Zhou Guohua and his son committed the crime.

And he will need to identify the object later, so there is no need to hide it anymore, as soon as he got in the car, Li Jun briefly talked about the situation and their suspicions.

Such a ridiculous thing, Zhou Guoan definitely couldn't believe it for a while, and he kept repeating that it was impossible all the way.

However, when Liao Xingyu took out the child's coat and doll dug out of the soil, his whole body was as if he had been struck by lightning.

If he hadn't been held back by Li Jun, he would have almost collapsed.

Yes, this is Rarity's dress, it was a little cold that morning, and his grandmother put on a coat because she was afraid that he would be cold. And the doll, Rarity's favorite toy. Comrade policeman, where did you find these things? ”

Zhou Guoan's eyes were red, and he made a mistake by holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

How could this thing be dug up from his own big brother's house?

He's Rarity's own uncle, and he's never offended him, so he wouldn't be so cruel!

"Uncle Zhou hopes you can calm down...... These things are really what we dug up at your big brother's house. ”

Zhou Guoan's mind went blank in an instant.

After a while, he said angrily, "Zhou Guohua, you brute......

After leaving him all, Li Jun said a few more words and returned to the city with the evidence.

Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu conducted a detailed search of Zhou Guohua's home inside and out, but unfortunately they did not find anything useful.

Finally everyone rushed to the town to meet the others, and they were ready to go back.

Back in the police force, Luo Fei and the others first went to Zhao Donglai's office to report the situation.

Then Zhou Fan asked, "Team Zhao, what about Zhou Fan?" ”

"Just now you said that you dug up evidence at Zhou's house, so I asked the local police to control Zhou Guohua's family, and Zhou Fan and they went to pick up people."

"I see."

At this time, Zhao Tian knocked on the door and walked in.

"Team Zhao, the results of the comparison just now have come out."

"According to the original autopsy, Zhou Kairui's chest was first cut open by a sharp weapon, and then his heart was cut off and removed by a sharp weapon."

"By comparing the two knives found by Team Leader Luo and them, they are consistent with the knife marks caused by Zhou Kairui, and it is undoubtedly the murder weapon."

"It's a pity that the sheet outside has been buried for too long, and there are no useful clues on it."
