Chapter 12 Cause and Effect

If human beings are compared to a delicate instrument, then emotions are undoubtedly the most central thing. Humans can build spaceships and rush out of the earth, but humans can't understand what the people around them are thinking.

Lin Shu was the one who killed his grandmother back then, and I think even if Lin Shu didn't tell his grandmother, his grandmother could feel it.

Therefore, even if Lin Shu wants to escape, it is impossible to leave his grandmother alone. I said to Mary categorically: "That is to say, Lin Shu is still in Takizawa City at all, and when the rumor passes, he will come back to see his grandmother." ”

While tinkering with her computer, Mary said without raising her head: "That old woman said that Lin Shu hasn't been back for three years. ”

"So I said the old man was lying. "I went to Mary's computer and found that Mary was still looking for clues about Lin Shu through the Internet.

When Mary heard this, she turned off the computer, and then said, "What if Lin Shu doesn't come back?"

"Bet on it, if Lin Shu doesn't come back, I'll run naked~ I tapped on the table and said, "If Lin Shu comes back, what will you do? It's not good for girls to run naked, so when the time comes, you can say two more good words in front of Team Leader Shao, so that I can turn positive." ”

"That's how you want to be a cop?" said Mary, looking at me earnestly.

I nodded, "yes, I don't know what else I can do." ”

"By the way, what about Team Leader Shao and Gu Chen?" I looked around, but I didn't find the figures of these two people.

Mary said: "Team Leader Shao has gone to investigate the clues, and Gu Chen is still staying in the garbage pond near the old man. ”

"It's been a day and a half!" I couldn't help but be taken aback when I heard Mary's words: "He's still squatting there, and no one is changing shifts?"

Mary shrugged her shoulders and also showed a helpless look: "We contacted through text messages on our mobile phones, and Gu Chen said that if there is always a shift change, it will be easy to be discovered, and it will be easy to startle the snake, so when he really can't stand it, change shifts again." I am reminded of a story about Gu Chen that Team Leader Shao told me. ”

"What?" I asked.

"When they were first selected, the instructor asked them to stand in a military posture, but the instructor was delayed because of something, and when he came back, it was already dark, and all the students were resting, but Gu Chen was still standing there in a standard posture. Mary shook her head as she spoke: "You guys, a paranoid, a paranoid......"

It's not just homeless people who sleep in garbage pools, but also policemen.

For five days, there was no figure. Gu Chen's compressed biscuits and mineral water hidden in the garbage had been eaten, and he applied for a shift change.

When Gu Chen came back, he looked emaciated, and his whole person smelled. Gu Chen touched the rotten vegetable leaves in his hair and said to us: "In the five days that I have monitored, let alone a human figure, I haven't even seen a dog. Except for the old grandmother who came to throw out the garbage every day, this garbage pond has basically been abandoned. ”

"You mean, in five days, no one came to throw out the garbage except the old woman?" I asked.

Gu Chen nodded and said, "That's right, I dare to guarantee this." ”

I took a few steps forward and walked to Gu Chen's side. Gu Chen was a little embarrassed by my behavior, Mary covered her nose and said, "Wu Meng, what are you doing!"

I took something off Gu Chen's clothes, it was a bone.

To be exact, this is a rib.

"What garbage she throws out every day. I asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked at me, then at the rib in my hand, and shook his head: "I don't know, I only pay attention to whether anyone comes, and I don't pay attention to this." ”

"Let's go. I waved my hand: "I'll take you to Lin Shu." ”

"Do you know where Lin Shu is?" asked Gu Chen and Mary at the same time.

Li Cunzhuang, the homeless man who eats human flesh, once told a very interesting thing. He said that during his wandering years, he had eaten countless good things. The trash cans in those high-end neighborhoods are full of delicious food. Li Cunzhuang ate shark fin and abalone here.

The garbage that one person throws away may be able to tell us a lot of things.

When we came to the old man's cottage again, I didn't go in, but went straight to the garbage pond behind her house. There wasn't much garbage in the garbage pool, and there was a man's foot under a large piece of rag. I smiled in my heart, went straight up and stepped on this foot, and a familiar voice came out: "It hurts." ”

"I said that you are the one who followed Team Leader Shao, and the disguise is too bad. I said.

Xiao Liu got out from under the rags and looked at us stunned for a while before he said, "Damn, it's you." I've only been here for a few minutes, and I haven't disguised myself yet, am I easy, besides, how can I disguise this, you can't let me get into the garbage. ”

As soon as this sentence fell, Xiao Liu shut up because he saw Gu Chen.

"Thankfully, there wasn't a shift change. Gu Chen said: "According to your method, it has already been discovered." ”

"Do you remember where the old lady threw the garbage?" I said.

Gu Chen nodded, and without any worries, he jumped directly into the garbage pool and picked up a few bags of things. I shook the garbage out of it, and I saw all sorts of things slide down like a waterfall, and then I started rummaging through the garbage. Finally, I found what I was looking for, and at the same time, I was able to determine where Lin Shu was.

"Inform Team Leader Shao, prepare to arrest someone. I said.

Everyone was puzzled, and Mary asked, "What the hell are you selling kid?"

"I believe in my judgment, no matter how Lin Shu was bullied back then, he never fought back. But grandma was just hit by a bottle, and Lin Shu killed the killer. I looked at the garbage all over the floor and said slowly, "It's impossible for him to leave his grandmother, and if he doesn't come back, it means he hasn't left." ”

"What I'm looking for now is evidence that he didn't leave. "I picked up a chicken bone from the trash.

"People are always changing, let alone being a drug dealer. Xiao Liu interjected and said: "The people who come up with drug addiction don't recognize their six relatives. ”

Don't recognize the six relatives?

The police had already surrounded the old man's hut, and the four of us visited the old man again. The old man was still sitting on the ground, and when she saw us, she looked up and laughed, "It's you." ”

Team Leader Shao sighed and motioned for me to come.

I looked at the old man and said slowly: "Grandma, ten years ago, do you know why Lin Shu killed people?"

The old man seemed to be touched, his body trembled slightly, and after a long time, the old man said: "I don't know, that child has changed since he was fifteen years old. Look at the palm of my hand, he cut it. ”

"You know. I said, "You know what kind of person your grandson is, you have lived together since childhood. You know Lin Shu's character, you must know Wang Liqun, the person who made your grandson a murderer. If it weren't for Wang Liqun, no, if it wasn't for you, your grandson would have nothing to do. ”

"You hate yourself, why did you pick up Wang Liqun's drink bottle that night, if you didn't take it, nothing would happen in the future. I slowly walked to the old man's side and said, "Lin Shu became a murderer, and the reason is you, so you cut off your own hand just to punish yourself." ”

When the old man heard my words, tears rolled in his eyes: "No, my palm was cut off by my grandson." He never came back. ”

The old man held back his tears and did not let them fall. The wrinkled face has a different kind of stubbornness.

"No, your palm must have been cut off by yourself. I said, "Your grandson is not left-handed, and you have had your left hand cut off, so you can assume that you grabbed him with your left hand, and he took the knife in his right hand, and when he turned around, it was a knife that fell from the outside of your left wrist, and the wound on the outside must be deep on the outside and shallow on the left." ”

"But if you look at your wrist, it's the opposite. I gently picked up the old man's stump: "Obviously, the internal wrist should be cut deeper, and there is a protruding piece of flesh on the outside." Could it be that your grandson hugged you behind and cut off your left hand? I don't think that could have happened at that moment. ”

"This is after you finish the story, I start to doubt your suspicions. I said, "So when I gave you the money, I deliberately spilled the coins to see if there was anyone hiding under the bed, but unfortunately it wasn't." But I found a couple of spoons and a couple of cigarette butts. ”

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is supposed to be a tool for drug use. I smiled and then continued: "You said that your grandson didn't come home for three years, which is obviously a lie. It's just that I didn't say it explicitly at the time, if you are lying everything, then you can conclude that you are covering for Lin Shu, and your grandson will definitely come back. ”

At this point, Mary finally understood why I had to have this cabin watched.

"You deliberately said this to us, just to make us think that Lin Shu is a villain who doesn't recognize his relatives, the more cruel you say about Lin Shu, the safer he will be when he comes back here. I always thought that Lin Shu would definitely come back, but I ignored one point, when we came here, it was already two days after the accident, and Lin Shu would have come back a long time ago. ”

"He didn't come back. The old man looked at me with cloudy eyes and pleaded: "Really. ”

For a moment, I even felt that it was good to stop here. Why do I have to cause an old man to lose her grandson, this is the only light in her life.

Sighing, I continued: "After thinking about this, Gu Chen came back with a piece of garbage and reminded me. The homeless man's words reminded me that maybe I could find some clues in your garbage. A chicken bone, that's the clue. ”

"Chicken bones?" Xiao Liu said, "What kind of clue is this?" ”

"An old man with all his teeth lost can't gnaw chicken bones so cleanly. Moreover, a person who begs for a living all day long cannot have meat at once. Team Leader Shao continued my words and said, "Have you noticed this little detail?"

I nodded, and slowly helped the old man up.

Then I knocked on the floor where the old man was sitting, hollow.

"He has a bed, but sits on the floor every day. I raised my voice: "Come out, after all, in the end, you can rely on your own grandma in the end." ”

The plank moved, and I took advantage of the momentum to push the plank away, and Lin Shu appeared in my field of vision. It was a pit that only accommodated one person squatting, and it looked like it had been dug freshly. In addition to Lin Shu, there are also stacked renminbi, which should be tens of thousands of yuan roughly calculated.

I pulled up Lin Shu and put the wooden board back on: "Found it." ”

Lin Shu glanced at me gratefully.

"Boy, ......" a heart-rending voice came out.

Lin Shu's eyes were red, and tears couldn't help but flow.

Lin Shu actually only cried twice in his life, once after seeing his grandmother's severed hand, and this was the second time.
