I felt sour and couldn't bear to look any further, so I picked up the basket and put it in the back seat of the car. When I put the basket away and turned around, the old lady was still standing there, with a very embarrassed look on her face, and she hesitated to speak, as if she had done something. Sad things.
She doesn't want my money, but doesn't know how to express it.
I had an idea and asked: "Mother-in-law, where do you live?"
She immediately pointed me in a direction, and I looked along. It was a mountain. She said she lived halfway up the mountain. I pretended to look at it seriously, and then said, "Well, you can help me find it again." I will pick up some wild fruits in a few days, and the money will be regarded as advance payment."
After I said this, the old lady finally felt at ease. She took the money and told me: "Then you must come. There is only one house halfway up the mountain. You can find me by walking up the mountain along the path in front of me." Room."
"I've written it down. You should go back quickly. It's cold." I put my hands in front of my mouth and breathed.
"You are coming."
After saying this, the old lady stepped towards the direction of the mountain. She was wearing small cloth shoes, and she walked tremblingly. There was some dried soil on the shoes. I really don't know what she was doing with this basket of wild fruits. How to pick it? Thinking of this, I even regretted what I said just now, because she would definitely go into the forest again to help me pick wild fruits because of my words.
"I didn't expect you to be so caring. There are not many people like you who take the initiative to care for the elderly these days." Wen Xin looked at me and smiled, and I noticed that her voice was very gentle.
"It's nothing, it's just a little effort. I happen to be hungry too." I replied casually without raising my head.
"You should be happy when you do good things, but why do I feel a little sad about you?" Wen Xin asked.
"It's okay, I just saw this mother-in-law and it reminded me of my grandmother." I said.
"What do I think? I miss her so much that I can go back and see her after the case is over."
"She has passed away." I sighed softly.
"Ah... I'm sorry." Wen Xin murmured, like a child who had done something wrong.
We didn't talk anymore and just watched the grandma walking slowly. Her back was really hunched. As the distance got farther and farther, I could only see her hunched body, which was almost invisible. He buried his head forward.
"Yuan Chen."
"Yuan Chen."
"Huh?" I turned around and looked at Wen Xin. She seemed to be calling me just now.
Wen Xin opened her mouth, but finally sighed and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back to the team."
It was getting late, and we had to go to the city to meet three female prisoners. We got back into the car. We fastened our seat belts. I took another look through the rearview mirror. The old lady was still moving slowly. Her The head is completely invisible, only a hunched back.
I sighed, looked away, and started the car.
On the way back, I asked Wen Xin: "How did you make Ouyang Quan's mother smile and welcome you into the house when you knocked on the door just now? What did you say after you talked for so long in the house?"
Wen Xin answered me: "It's very simple. When I opened the door, Ouyang Quan's mother didn't recognize me, so she would naturally be confused. If I said that I was here to investigate Ouyang Quan, then she must be very wary of me. Maybe They still wouldn't let me enter the house. So I tried my best and deliberately said that I was a new household registration policeman from the police station. I went to the jurisdiction to visit and learn about the residents of every household in the town. In the towns and villages, the people's attitude toward The household registration policeman was very respectful, so she naturally didn’t make things difficult for me and opened the door for me to enter her house.”
"Is this okay?" I was surprised. Wen Xin's way of doing things was really unique.
"This is a white lie. That's what it is like to be a criminal police officer. Sometimes, in order to solve a case, you have to do extraordinary things. I also learned this from my master before. I happen to know the director of the police station here. By the way,
Ouyang Quan's mother wouldn't believe him when he told her his name." When she said this, Wen Xin's tone actually contained a hint of helplessness.
"Okay, then, how did you bring the topic to the case?" I asked again.
"Of course I asked about the basic situation at the beginning, and the parents chatted for a while. After we got familiar with each other, I slowly talked about Ouyang Fei's matter, and then selectively told them that someone killed someone to avenge Ouyang Fei. In this
In the process, I changed the time of occurrence of several important events in the case, and then asked them what Ouyang Quan was doing at those times. Naturally, they were not too resistant, and explained Ouyang Quan's life in the past few days in detail.
All the traces were told.”
"Change the time of the incident?" I thought about these words and quickly understood the essence.
This method is really wonderful. For example, Yao Yuan was killed at 11 o'clock in the evening. Even if Ouyang Quan's parents knew that Ouyang Quan was not at home at that time, in order to eliminate Ouyang Quan's suspicion, they might help him cover up and say that Ouyang Quan was there.
Wen Xin changed the time when Yao Yuan was killed to nine o'clock in the evening. At that time, Ouyang Quan was indeed watching TV with his parents at home. So, even if Ouyang Quan was not at home after that, he would not
If he becomes a suspect, his parents will naturally tell the truth about what they saw and heard later.
Wen Xin used this method to successfully figure out all the true movements of Ouyang Quan in the past few days that Ouyang Quan's parents knew, which is admirable.
"But if that's the case, then why were Ouyang Quan's parents frowning when you came out?" I don't understand this.
Wen Xin said: "No matter what, I deceived Ouyang Quan's parents today, and based on the information they said, we will summon Ouyang Quan back for questioning. In order not to worry them, I said that the criminal police team might
Ask Ouyang Quan to find out more about things. They know that they can't interfere with the police's handling of the case, but Ouyang Quan is taking final exams at this time, so they are worried that it will affect his performance, so they are naturally a little worried."
I couldn't help but sigh: "How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are. If these things were really done by Ouyang Quan, how could he be worthy of his parents who had been kind to him for many years?"
"Yeah, I don't know if the old couple will be able to bear it when they know the truth." Wen Xin sighed.
After returning to the city, we first went to the home of the first female prisoner on the list. Although she had received the punishment she deserved and was free, she still had a look of caution on her face when she saw Wen Xin and I.
From her file, it was found that the police officers handling the case were Yao Yuan and Sister Ling. Her answer was just as the magic stick said, Yao Yuan actually asked for the materials alone. Sister Ling only signed the materials in the end.
When asked about the details of the interrogation, I obviously felt that the other person's eyes were a little wandering, and her words began to falter. At this time, I excused myself and left, leaving Wen Xin to continue asking. Even if she was willing to explain this kind of thing, she would still do it if I was present.
