"Now that Xu Tao has been released, he should feel better, right?" Wen Xin asked.
"That's natural. To be honest, Xu Tao really has nothing to say to his brother. He originally had very good grades. If it weren't for his brother's drag, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today." The female boss sighed.
I thought Xu Tao was a gangster before. After hearing about the two brothers, I couldn't help but sympathize with this man my age. His life could have been wonderful and happy.
After walking out of the supermarket, I received a call from Crazy Brother. He said that the branch had produced several results. Among them, the broken glass shards at the scene of the crime were compared one by one and were confirmed to be wine bottles from Red Star Erguotou. He asked me to go to the town.
Go to supermarkets and grocery stores and ask people who buy this wine.
We returned to the supermarket and asked the female boss. She said that Erguotou wine is strong and cheap. People in the town like to drink it. Some people will carry a small bottle with them when they go to work in the fields, which is convenient.
"Xu Tao drinks too?" Wen Xin asked.
"Drink, why don't you drink!"
This clue allowed us to further confirm that the murderer was a resident of the town. When there was no obvious directional clue, following the empirical method of "cooked to raw", we decided to focus on investigating the internal personnel of the processing plant and Xu Tao.
In addition, according to the female boss, Lu Yushan's wife is also a key personnel. It is not uncommon for his wife Hongxing to cheat on her husband and murder her husband together with the adulterer.
As we walked in the town, residents everywhere cast curious glances at us. I was a little uncomfortable being stared at, but Wen Xin analyzed the case indifferently: "I have been thinking that the murderer smashed the face of the deceased.
He also put a mask on it, what does this behavior mean?"
"From the perspective of an acquaintance who committed the crime, the murderer should have hatred towards Lu Yushan, and it was not a pure robbery and murder. The murderer disfigured Lu Yushan's face and then put on a 'clown'-looking mask. Could it be that the murderer thought
Is Lu Yushan’s normal appearance a disguise, and his inner world is as funny and ugly as a clown?” I tried to say.
Wen Xin also agrees with this inference. Next, we need to know more about Lu Yushan's life.
There was a commotion in my ears, and I looked up and found that we were near Qingshan Town Primary School. School just ended at noon, and the students poured out and dispersed.
Towns are different from cities in that there are fewer people and the environment is not that complicated, so parents generally do not pick up and drop off their children.
"Come on, the fool is here again..."
Several students ran towards us making a fuss. Behind them stood a man in his thirties. He had many stains on his face and some leaf debris in his hair, but his clothes were relatively clean.
At this moment, he was grinning, his mouth opened wide, revealing yellow teeth, and one of the upper front teeth was missing.
"He must be Xu Hai." Wen Xin walked towards the man.
"He's mentally retarded and mentally ill..." The female boss's words echoed in my mind, and I hurriedly followed Wen Xin. Who knew whether Xu Hai would suddenly become ill.
The man maintained his grinning posture, as if frozen.
After Wen Xin and I walked in front of him and blocked his view, he looked at us with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Are you Xu Hai?" Wen Xin asked softly.
The man put away his smile and looked at Wen Xin blankly, but said nothing.
"Don't be afraid..."
Before I could say the next words, the man suddenly stretched out his hands and waved them in front of his chest, saying: "Bad guy, bad guy!"
Seeing him like this, I hurriedly pulled Wen Xin back two steps, but the man didn't give up and walked towards us. At the same time, he clenched his right fist high and struck it down hard. He kept shouting: "Knock you to death! Knock you to death."
!”
The man's movements were too fast, and we were facing each other and retreating. In the blink of an eye, the man was in front of me. As a last resort, I stretched out my hand to block him. Their hands touched each other, and I felt that his strength was very strong. I didn't dare
He looked down upon him and pushed him away with a fierce force.
What I didn't expect was that although the man was strong, his body coordination was poor. When I pushed him, his upper body leaned back, his feet didn't move back in time, and he sat on the ground.
"Bad guy! Bad guy!" Perhaps it was because the fall was too painful, so the man's tone changed a little, and he sounded like he was crying.
We just guessed that he was Xu Hai. According to the female supermarket owner, his intelligence is only seven or eight years old, so there is no need to argue with him. Thinking about this, I stepped forward and prepared to pull him up.
At this moment, he touched a small stone from the ground and suddenly threw it at me. I couldn't dodge, and the stone hit my forehead, which made me gasp in pain.
Seeing that he had hit me, the man laughed and went to touch the stones on the ground again.
Now I was really annoyed. I rushed behind him in a few steps. I used the method of controlling the suspect to hold his hands firmly, and then pressed my right knee against his back.
The man couldn't move, screamed, and kept twisting his body.
"What are you doing!"
A powerful voice came from behind. Wen Xin's face changed slightly and she said to me: "Someone is coming."
I controlled the man and didn't dare to let go, but I couldn't turn back from this position.
"Yuan Chen, let go of Xu Hai." It was Crazy Brother's voice.
When I heard that they were coming, I breathed a sigh of relief. Just as I was about to let go, I felt my body being pulled away suddenly. A figure rushed in front of me and pulled up Xu Hai who was sitting on the ground.
I looked at this man. He looked somewhat similar to Xu Hai. He had a flat head and a sinister look between his eyebrows. He must be Xu Tao.
"Brother, beat the bad guys! Beat the bad guys!" Xu Hai pulled Xu Tao's clothes and stared at me and said.
This makes me a little confused. Didn’t the female boss call Xu Hai his brother? Why did he call Xu Tao brother instead?
"Brother, did he hit you?" Xu Tao patted the dust off Xu Hai's body and asked with concern.
In order not to cause misunderstanding, I quickly stepped forward to explain a few words, but Xu Tao didn't appreciate it. He didn't even look at me. He sorted out the debris in Xu Hai's hair and asked again: "Brother, did he hit you?"
?”
"He, he, doesn't know...the bad guy...brother...knock him!" As he said that, Xu Hai did the same action to me again. He made a fist with his right hand, raised it high, and then punched me hard.
My heart tightened.
"Let's go back, it's time to eat." Xu Tao pulled Xu Hai, turned around, and walked in the direction they came from.
Xu Hai seems to be very dependent on Xu Tao. I understand that although Xu Hai is older, mentally he will always be a seven or eight-year-old child. Xu Tao protects him every time something happens, so in his heart he has already
He recognized Xu Tao as his elder brother.
After they walked away, Crazy Brother asked me: "What happened just now?"
Wen Xin told the whole story. Crazy Brother asked me if my forehead still hurt. I shook my head and asked them how they came here.
"Just now we went to Xu Tao's house to ask about the situation. He was very uncooperative. After asking for a while, he said he wanted to come out to find his brother, so we followed him out and met you here." Jiang Zi said.
