Chapter 144 Yes, but guilty!
The murderer had visited the orphanage.
The other party secretly donated a lot of things for this, including milk, bread, rice, and books. In total, the purchase alone amounted to 350,000.
There are a lot of these supplies, so much that if the welfare home normally accepts the subsidies from above, it is enough to provide the children in need with a good life for a few years.
But it's a pity.
Supplies are gone.
The front foot is pulled over, and the back foot is resold!
"So, the director of the private welfare home died."
December 6th, morning, eight o'clock.
Xu Hao looked at the scene around him and spoke slowly.
"The murderer is taking revenge, taking revenge on the dean for everything, but."
"Who do you think this feeling of revenge is directed at?"
Li Jianye next to him paused after hearing this, and then said: "Dean."
The only corpse left was the dean, and the emotion was directed at the dean.
"Yes, the other party's revenge is only against the dean, but what about the others?"
"What about these children who have no father or mother and are locked up in orphanages?"
Xu Hao asked again.
"The supplies have been sold, will the murderer hate these children?"
Will it?
Won't.
I have never seen anyone who did not do well in the college entrance examination and resented the polar bear for eating a penguin in the zoo.
"You mean"
"He, will he do similar behavior again?"
Qian Hua thought for a moment, looked at the slightly curious eyes around him, and said suddenly.
This is a welfare home.
There are one hundred and twenty orphans of different ages in one of the few orphanages in Linlan City. At this time, some seven or eight-year-old children who have not gone to school are hiding around, looking at Xu Hao and others with curious eyes. people.
Behind the trees, under the ping-pong table, or on the walls, there are little black heads everywhere.
"Yes, the other party's purpose was to provide certain assistance, so there were scenes of wealthy areas being looted in early November."
"As a result, the efforts were in vain and the goal was not achieved, but the child's emotions will not involve him, so he will only continue to promote the progress of the goal from other angles!"
"This is why the case emerged in early December."
Xu Hao spoke again.
"The reason why the deceased's home was ransacked."
"But is that little money enough?" Li Jianye was confused.
The 350,000 yuan could not be recovered, and the dean died before he could get the money.
Those materials can only be repurchased, and the property of the deceased's home, excluding the person who died in the office, may not necessarily add up to 20,000 yuan.
Compared with 350,000 yuan, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
But.
"Something is better than nothing."
Xu Hao replied and added something at the same time.
"Because of the dean's second behavior, as expected, he will no longer make such anonymous donations."
“But because of my identity, I can’t reveal it!”
That is.
Face-to-face gifting?
Make sure the other person gets it! ?
Qian Hua paused and immediately understood.
That's right, the murderer doesn't have much money left, only a few tens of thousands, and he doesn't need help from others like the 400,000.
He can handle it all by himself!
"The other party has had direct contact with these orphans!?"
Li Jianye was stunned and looked at the children around him who looked like silkworm babies.
They are in an orphanage.
Last night, after finding the dead body of the dean, he took people to the private welfare home and stayed there until now.
"Yes, it's hard to imagine that there is a high probability that these children have spent time with an executioner who kills without blinking an eye."
Xu Hao nodded, paused for a moment, and then said:
"However, for them, the executioner may be safer than the director of the orphanage."
"As for how to check."
"How's the information collection going?"
Xu Hao changed the topic and turned his eyes to the policeman in the distance.
There were countless police officers there, asking questions back and forth around the group of children.
Several caregivers were also explaining something nearby.
They are questioning.
After dawn, we conducted a visit and survey on the children, but the children were too young and the progress was very slow.
Until
"Amitabha. Officer, the poor monk is here."
Suddenly, there was a sound in my ears.
Xu Hao turned his head and looked.
I saw a monk wearing simple clothes and stooped like an ascetic got out of the police car and walked slowly towards Xu Hao.
There are two little boys with alert eyes beside the other party. They are Xiaolong and Xiaohu. Their eyes are inadvertently scanning everything around them, especially their backs.
The little girl dragging the tire skin was held by the monk. There was also a girl with eye problems around her neck, who held her head with both hands.
"I'm sorry, Xiaolong, Xiaohu and the others had to come together, which delayed some time."
Monk Du'e showed a trace of embarrassment on his old face.
He put the two little girls down, and the girls hugged his legs in fear.
"Boss." The police officer driving the car looked at Qian Hua and nodded.
Xu Hao didn't say anything.
He glanced up and down at Xiaolong and Xiaohu for a while, then suddenly spoke.
"Give him the key back."
key?
What key?
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at the two teenage children.
Xiaolong suddenly took out an iron key and threw it at the police officer who drove up. He stood behind the monk and scanned the surroundings with his hostile eyes.
This is
The police officer lowered his head and looked at the thing in his hand with surprise.
Car keys! ?
"When." He said in shock.
"I'm sorry, it was the poor monk who failed to take care of me."
Du'e's face showed sorrow, and the expression in his eyes was very complicated. His emotions were mixed, and he lamented and apologized.
"Stop talking, I ask, you answer."
Xu Hao was too lazy to care about these trivial matters.
Just steal from the other party, just a few meals and a few days of accommodation if you want to gain the trust of so many children
To be honest it's not possible.
Why?
Because the clothes they are wearing now are blue.
On the road, those who drove, cursed, and beat them wore blue uniforms.
"Okay, the poor monk understands."
Monk Du'e nodded and said silently.
"Where is the address for bread distribution in Linlan City recently?"
Xu Hao was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard of the orphanage. He looked at the other person and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"Distribute the bread."
Monk Du'e paused.
"Don't say you don't. I have a sufficient chain of evidence to prove the existence of this matter. You can refute it if you want, but after you refute it, you need to go to the police interrogation room to take a look at the police chain of evidence."
Xu Hao said casually.
Du'e was silent.
The two of them were just silent, not even looking at each other, and not a trace of movement emerged.
Time passed like this minute by minute.
Li Jianye beside him was extremely anxious.
Qian Hua looked at the two children, thought for a moment, and then took out a red banknote.
The little tire-skin girl tilted her head, put her index finger in her mouth and bit it, her eyes shining brightly as she watched this scene.
She held out her hand, but
"Chi!"
Xiaolong withdrew her hand, his eyes looking at Qian Hua full of hostility, and he and Xiaohu protected the two children behind them.
The invisible one is called Xiaobai, and the tire skin girl is called Niu Niu.
Niu Niu bent over at this time, lowered her head and looked at Qian Hua from below, blinked, and then tilted her head to express confusion.
"Officer, did that child commit something?"
In a daze, Monk Du'e finally spoke.
His tone was slightly heavy. "Child?"
"Well, it looks like he is the murderer. You have indeed seen him."
Xu Hao smiled.
"What did he do? Steal?"
Du'e spoke again, not caring about Xu Hao's words.
"It's more serious than theft." Li Jianye said in a muffled voice, and he also sat down on the stone bench.
Hearing this, Monk Du'e fell silent again.
The weather in December is very cool.
The leaves in the courtyard rustled, hair danced, dust rolled up on the dark ground, and the red-faced children around him sneezed constantly.
Li Jianye wrapped himself in clothes unconsciously.
Qian Hua was still teasing the child and pointed behind Xiaolong and Xiaohu.
Xiaolong looked back and found that Xiaobai and Niuniu were already playing with the children in the orphanage and were not behind him. He turned around and saw Qian Hua's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling.
Xiaolong and Xiaohu suddenly felt ashamed and hot, and pulled back the bewildered little white girl.
"Think about it slowly, you have a day to think about it."
Xu Hao looked at the time.
The hour and minute hands of the watch now read half past nine in the morning.
"If my guess is correct, he should appear and appear between the afternoon and evening. Well, that means you still have at least eight hours to think about it."
"If that child disappears from now on, can we let him go?"
Monk Du'e suddenly asked again.
"Hey, monk, are you trying to convert him?" Li Jianye became interested.
Du'e said nothing, just stared at Xu Hao.
"I can't care who he kills, and I can't care how many he kills."
Xu Hao suddenly spoke with a calm tone.
"The important thing is that he is competing with the police for law enforcement rights."
"The poor monk can see that the child has a good heart."
"The police aren't bad either."
Xu Hao spoke calmly.
"He won't make mistakes." Du'e shook his head.
"But he committed a crime." Li Jianye said, referring to the law.
Du'e was silent.
After a long while, Du'e compromised.
He looked at Li Jianye and said, "If I tell it now, can I get a reward?"
Bounty?
Is this monk thinking about the reward?
At this time, Qian Hua was stunned and subconsciously turned his head to look.
"Yes, provide complete and valid information and receive a reward of 50,000 yuan."
Xu Hao nodded and finalized the matter.
Li Jianye was stunned and looked at Xu Hao in disbelief.
"More." He said softly.
Linlan City is not poor, but the police are poor. Xu Hao took the initiative to solve the case for only about 100,000, but providing a piece of information can actually cost 50,000.
Xu Hao ignored these words and stared at the other party with his eyes.
"Provide important information and help the police arrest the other party directly, and the reward will be 100,000 yuan."
One hundred thousand! ?
Li Jianye's eyes twitched.
"Okay."
Du'e didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
"The child doesn't appear often. He appeared about a month and a half ago. I didn't notice him at first."
Monk Du'e fell into memories, and past memories began to appear in his mind.
"Until, Xiaolong and Xiaohu suddenly took out some money one day."
"They stole, but the method of stealing was not what the poor monk taught them, so they guessed that someone was teaching them."
"The poor monk didn't point it out. After all, being a thief, even if you are in jail, is much better than being a tramp."
"But the poor monk was worried, so he followed them one day."
"The poor monk met the person who taught them to steal. He was a child, very young, about 20 years old"
Hear this.
Li Jianye quickly took out his warmed hand and took out a wanted warrant.
"Is he this person?"
Du'e glanced twice and then nodded.
"It's him."
"The poor monk met him four times in total, and the four places were all different."
"Sometimes I see him squatting on a street, holding some food in his hand for distribution."
“I’ve also seen him squatting on a roadside in a daze while doing nothing.”
daze?
Qian Hua was stunned for a moment. He stopped teasing the child and came over and said seriously.
"Is it over there on Baoxin Street?"
Du'e was confused, but nodded.
Hearing this, Qian Hua was silent and said to Xu Hao and Xu Hao: "The incident took place six years ago. Six years ago, there was a place where small merchants and hawkers set up roadside stalls."
"Is there a fixed haunt?"
Li Jianye asked.
"The poor monk has not seen it many times. I can't see where it appears more often."
Du'e shook his head.
Xu Hao stopped looking at him and turned to look at Qian Hua.
"Are there any abandoned areas in Linlan City?"
"There are quite a few, including abandoned vehicle transfer yards and abandoned factory sheds." Qian Hua said subconsciously.
"Did the eighth deceased appear last night?"
Xu Hao asked again.
Last night, he didn't rush to call Du'e over for investigation. Instead, he gathered a large number of police forces to conduct a detailed search on the urban management personnel.
“No one from the urban management brigade is missing, and their family members have not been harmed.”
Qian Hua said with certainty this time.
The information given by the court was very complete. After all the people hiding in the dark were killed, the remaining two people in the open were also killed.
In other words, the other party has no target.
No, there should be no killing target!
"What is the scale of the issuance of wanted warrants?"
In a daze, Xu Hao asked again.
"A lot of them were printed. Centered on the scene, it was covered all around. There were portraits of him on every telephone pole or in front of the door."
Li Jianye replied.
Xu Hao smiled and suddenly said: "Do you know why, when I knew about the existence of Du'e, I still issued a wanted order?"
Li Jianye paused and shook his head.
Du'e is an informant, and the other party's effect far exceeds the clues provided by passers-by.
Logically speaking, there should be no need to print so many wanted notices, but Xu Hao instead increased his firepower
"The wanted notice is not for the residents, it is for Sun Jiang!"
Xu Hao said.
"For a thief, there are not many people who understand police search capabilities better than they do."
"The existence of the wanted order tells him that the police have found out his true information, including his facial features."
Xu Hao has said before that the best way to achieve a perfect crime is to prevent the police from discovering the body and not letting the police know too much information!
On the contrary, as soon as the information comes out.
The case will enter the stage of rapid detection!
"And now, Sun Jiang is in this stage."
"He doesn't have much time, but his goal has not been completed. Under this contradictory situation, his mentality and behavior will definitely be more radical."
"Any radical behavior related to accomplishing a goal is nothing more than killing three birds with one stone and accomplishing two seconds in one second."
"As for the murderer's behavior, the only radical behavior he can do is..."
"Facing several times the number of people who meet the target at one time."
"And this kind of place."
Saying that, Xu Hao paused.
In the end, his eyes were fixed on one place. Among the many information found last night, it was near an orphanage where a large number of children escaped.
And its name is
"Junkyard."
