“I asked several of Zhou Guohua’s neighbors, and an old couple from one of them said that at noon on May 18, the day Zhou Kairui disappeared, he He once heard a child crying from Zhou Guohua's house. "
"At that time, he thought it was Zhou Guohua's grandson coming back from the hospital, and he was going to ask how the child was doing, but he didn't know. After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. In addition, he didn't hear the child's cry anymore, so he thought he had misheard it and didn't take it seriously. "
"Then the cry was probably Zhou Kairui's. Yes! Team leader Liao, have you confirmed this problem with other neighbors?"
Liao Xingyu shook his head, "I have asked, but others said they didn't pay attention."
< br>
Everyone was a little disappointed after hearing this.
Zhou Fan encouraged, "Don't be too depressed, everyone. This at least proves that our efforts today were not in vain. There were indeed people at Zhou Guohua's house that day."
"According to their neighbors, twenty Zhou Yucheng fell ill on the 4th, and his family sent him to the city overnight. In other words, Zhou Guohua should have returned to the village before committing the crime. . ”
“But today no one in their village said they had seen the father and son come back. This should be because they consciously avoided the villagers, but the town was crowded with people, and no matter how careful they were, they might not bump into them. Meet a few acquaintances."
"In this case... I suggest that we increase our efforts to visit the town tomorrow, maybe we can find something."
"That's all it can do now."
"Okay, let's go to bed early and take action immediately when we get up tomorrow morning!"
The night passed.
Everyone got up at around six o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, we started to visit the town as agreed last night.
The town is different from the big city, because the people who come and go every day are basically the same faces, and over time they will have impressions of each other. This is probably a major feature of rural towns.
Therefore, it was relatively easy for them to get up. As long as they showed their photos, the merchants in the town could basically recognize the father and son.
But once asked if they had met the father and son on May 18th three years ago, everyone just shook their heads.
“Comrade police, we can’t remember what happened so long ago.”
“I’m sorry for not remembering, people come and go here every day, let alone what happened three years ago. ”
“…”
I asked several companies in succession and got the same answer.
After coming out, Lin Jie couldn't help but said, "Team leader, I don't think this is reliable at all."
"If it's okay for a month or two, maybe everyone can still remember some of it. But who can remember so clearly what happened four years ago? "
"We all know what you said, but the key now is not that there is no evidence, so we can only try our luck. "
As the two of them talked, they walked into a tire repair shop.
After revealing his identity to his boss who was sitting on a tricycle playing with his mobile phone, Luo Fei immediately took out the photos of Zhou Dahu and his son.
"Look, boss, do you have any impression of these two people?"
"This is not Zhou Dahu, we are junior high school classmates, of course we know each other."
"Police Comrade, what are you looking for? Did he commit any crime?"
"Don't worry about this. We just want to ask, did you see him in town three years ago?"
"Three years ago..." The boss hesitated.
Just when Luo Fei and the two thought that this trip was going to be in vain again, the boss suddenly asked, "Is it the time when his child was hospitalized and needed surgery?"
This...could it be a drama? !
Luo Fei was overjoyed for a moment, "Yes, it was that time, do you remember it?"
"Remember, that day was May 18th, my father-in-law's birthday, so I closed the shop at four o'clock that 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. People from Baimao Village have to pass by their village when they come to town. Everyone was there that night, so my uncle and I had two more drinks. It might be ten or eleven when we came back. Clicked. ”
< br>"Driving to Datianba, a figure suddenly jumped up on the side road. If I hadn't stepped on the brakes quickly, I almost hit him..."
"So you drove drunk?" Luo Fei Suddenly came a sentence.
The boss, who was talkative just now, was speechless for a moment, with a look of annoyance on his face.
I secretly thought that I didn’t know what to say, so why did I tell this matter?
"Actually, I didn't drink much, just a few drinks... Police comrades, you shouldn't even be involved in the work of the traffic police."
"Don't worry, this is not our responsibility. But for the sake of your family Healthy, it’s better not to do this kind of thing in the future. If something happens, you won’t regret it. And, even if nothing happens, being caught will affect your child’s exam.”
“I understand, just that time, I will never drink while driving again, I swear!”
Luo Fei reminded him a few words, and didn't care whether he was telling the truth or a lie.
"Go on, tell me, when did you bump into Zhou Dahu in the town after returning from your father-in-law's house?"
"Because the person I almost bumped into was Zhou Dahu."
What a coincidence?
Luo Fei and Zhang Wei looked at each other, excited.
“Boss, can you tell us about the situation in detail?”
“I almost hit someone at that time. I was so frightened that I woke up and wanted to get out of the car. I argued with the other party for a few words, but then I realized it was that guy Zhou Dahu.”
"I was quite baffled at the time and asked him why he took the small road instead of the main road. If I hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been killed."
"He just said that the child at home was sick. , I needed an operation but still lacked some documents. He came back to get the documents, so he took a shortcut, but I always felt that he didn't tell me the truth."
"Why? "
"How should I put this... I just opened the door that morning, and I happened to see his father passing by my store, heading back to the village, but I was in a hurry to see his back. He ignored me when I called him twice. "
"So if the old man sent it to the city during the day, why would he come back in the middle of the night to get it? "
"Then have you ever asked him this question?"
"No, these are other people's family affairs. How can I ask these questions, but I guess he came back specially to give the child some remedies. "
The boss said with difficulty, "My classmate doesn't even know what to say to him. He is in his thirties, but he is just stubborn."
"I have advised him before. After passing him, the doctor said how to give the child Just treat it as you like, aren't they at least more professional than the rest of us? But he insisted that the surgery would be harmful, and the anesthetic would affect the child's intelligence, so the family just searched everywhere for some folk remedies."
"The child's disease was not cured. , all the money he made from working as a contractor all these years was spent on it... At that time, I knew that he was in a hurry to rush back to the city, and I heard that the car he ordered was waiting for him in the town, so I took him back there. to 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 and his son be summoned immediately, and I also apply to search Zhou Guohua's home."
With the confession of the car repair shop owner, Zhao Donglai did not object, "Okay, You can go directly to the village cadres in Murakami. I will send the search procedures to your mobile phone later."
"Understood"
Luo Fei informed Liao Xingyu and others separately. .
In the end, it was decided that Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu would lead the first and second groups to search the Zhou family, while the rest would stay in the town and continue the visit.
The group went to the local village committee again. After taking out the search procedures, several village cadres were very cooperative and immediately accompanied them to Zhou Guohua's home.
Witnessed by several village cadres, they directly went to the town’s locksmith to open the door lock of Zhou Guohua’s house. Opening the door, you are greeted by lush green.
Because it has not been taken care of for a long time, the yard is overgrown with weeds and there is almost no place to stand.
Luo Fei stood in front of the gate, glanced casually, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on the land under an orange tree beside the courtyard wall.
"He Xin, go to the people's house nearby and borrow two hoes, dig under the tree and see if there is anything inside."
Looking at the piece of land. Black gas was coming out, so Luo Fei was not in a hurry to enter the house to search for physical evidence.
After giving the instructions, he immediately pushed aside the weeds and walked towards that place.
Liao Xingyu followed him.
"Luo Fei, what's wrong with this land?"
"Yes. "
Seeing him nodding, Liao Xingyu suddenly murmured.
Luo Fei is so amazing, can he tell that something is wrong with this piece of land at a glance?
Didn't give it to him After He Xin and the others borrowed the hoe, Luo Fei pointed to a place and asked Zhang Wei and He Xin to dig.
After just a few digs, He Xin felt his hoe hit something.
“Wait a minute!”
He immediately called Zhang Wei to stop, then squatted down and began to dig with his right hand, and soon a corner of the cloth whose original color could not be seen clearly was exposed.
The two of them started working together and soon dug out a ball of cloth, which looked like a bed sheet.
Opening the ball of cloth, there was a child's coat, two rusty kitchen knives and daggers, and a small tiger doll.
Almost at a glance, Liao Xingyu and others present were sure that the coat and doll belonged to Zhou Kairui.
Because these items appeared in the characteristics described by his grandmother when she and her child were lost.
Liao Xingyu became excited instantly.
He looked at Luo Fei in disbelief, "I'm going to Luo Fei, how did you know there was something buried under here?!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wei and the others She also looked at him with the same curiosity.
Luo Fei had already thought of a countermeasure, and calmly pointed to a few burned incense candles stuck in the soil beside him, "It's very simple, they can't be paying homage to this tree."
If it’s not a memorial tree, it can only be a person.
But if you want to pay homage to your dead relatives, you can go to the tomb to pay homage. Why should they pay homage at home? Unless they dare not go to each other's grave to pay homage.
Wanting to understand this, Liao Xingyu gave Luo Fei a thumbs up, "Gao, Luo Fei, your observation skills are really strong!"
"Team Leader Liao, here I’ll leave it to you, I’ll go take a look behind the yard.”
"Okay, go ahead... Gao Gao, hurry up and get a few evidence bags. He Qiang, evacuate everyone and seal off the courtyard immediately."
"And Lin Jie, remember when you take photos and videos. Give these two knives a few close-ups, and I suspect that they are probably the murder weapons. Su Yang immediately called Team Zhao to inform us of the discovery. "
Under Liao Xingyu's arrangement, everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
The criminal policeman named He Qiang also walked towards the onlookers.
So many of them came to open Zhou Guohua's door just now, which aroused the curiosity of many villagers.
At this moment, everyone was standing in a circle, talking about what the police had dug up.
He Qiang spent a lot of time before letting them disperse.
Here, Zhao Donglai was also excited after receiving Su Yang's call.
If the murder weapon is really found, then most of the case will be solved.
He immediately called Li Jun.
"Li Jun, Luo Fei and the others are suspected of digging up the murder weapon at Zhou Guohua's house. You should take someone there immediately and send the things back for comparison. And by the way, pick up Zhou Guoan and ask him to identify and dig out the murder weapon. Are the clothes Zhou Kairui’s?”
“Received.”
After receiving the order, Li Jun immediately called the members of the three groups to gather.
A few 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.
Moreover, he would be needed to identify the evidence later, so there was no need to hide anything. As soon as they got in the car, Li Jun briefly explained the situation and their suspicions.
Zhou Guoan certainly couldn't believe such a ridiculous thing for a while, and kept repeating the impossibility all the way.
However, when Liao Xingyu took out the child's coat and doll he dug out of the soil, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
If he hadn't been supported by Li Jun, he almost fell down.
"Yes, these are Ruirui's clothes. It was a bit cold that morning, so his grandma put on a coat to prevent him from being cold. And this doll is Ruirui's favorite toy. Comrade police, Where did you find these things? ”
Zhou Guoan's eyes were red, and he made a mistake in holding on to his last glimmer of hope.
How could this thing be dug out of my eldest brother’s house?
He is Ruirui's uncle, and he has never offended him. He will definitely not be so cruel!
"Uncle Zhou hopes you can calm down... these things were definitely dug up by us at your eldest brother's house."
Zhou Guoan's mind went blank for a moment.
After a while, he became angry and said, "Zhou Guohua, you beast..."
After they were all gone, Li Jun said a few more words and returned to the city with the evidence.
Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu conducted a detailed search inside and outside Zhou Guohua's home, but unfortunately they found nothing useful.
Finally, everyone rushed to the town to meet others and prepared to go back.
Back at the police force, Luo Fei and others first went to Zhao Donglai's office to report the situation.
Then Zhou Fan asked, "Captain Zhao, where are Zhou Fan and the others?"
"Just now you said you would dig up evidence at Zhou's house, so I asked the local police to control Zhou Guohua's family while Zhou Fan and the others went to pick them up. "
"That's it."
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 chopped open with a sharp weapon, and then his heart was cut out with a sharp weapon."
"By comparing the two knives found by Team Leader Luo and others, Yes, and those caused by Zhou Kairui The knife marks are consistent, and it is definitely the murder weapon."
"It's a pity that the sheet outside has been buried for too long, and no useful clues can be found on it."
