"I admire you." I gave Wen Xin a thumbs up sincerely.
"No, actually you are better than me today. The questions you asked Chu Jianhua and Pan Xingbang were very good. It was your questions that inspired me. I just observed more carefully." Wen Xin said with some embarrassment.
When we returned to Feng Rong's home, Feng Rong's mother was still crying. From time to time she said things like, "It's all you police who failed to catch the murderer and killed my daughter." Although it sounded very uncomfortable, we
He still understood her feelings and no one argued with her.
The forensics and trace inspection personnel had already left, and only Madge and a few people from the police station were at the scene. I asked Jiang Zi and Lao Mao why they hadn't come back yet.
Crazy Brother replied: "When they were visiting the surrounding people just now, they asked about the hammer. Someone provided an important piece of information. They have now gone over to verify it."
"What clue?" I immediately became interested.
Crazy brother took us to a deserted corner and then said: "Someone said that Li returned to Guoguo's house and lost a similar-looking hammer a few days ago."
"Li Huiguo? How could it be his..." Wen Xin asked with a frown.
"I also think this matter is strange, so I asked them to verify it accurately." Crazy Brother said.
There is indeed something strange. According to common sense, whoever owns the murder weapon is more likely to be the murderer. But if Li Huiguo’s hammer was lost a few days ago, then the murderer stole it specially to commit the crime.
, in this case, the suspicion of Li returning to the pot will be reduced.
How this matter will develop depends on the verification of Lao Mao and the others. Crazy Brother asked us if we had gained anything there.
"Feng Rong's lover is Pan Xingbang." I told Wen Xin and I the biggest gain.
"Did he admit it?" Crazy Brother asked in a deep voice.
I shook my head and told Wen Xin and I the inferences and the reactions of Chu and Pan. After hearing this, Crazy Brother said: "Three people have died in this case now. Without further ado, you two will go there immediately."
Go to the city and ask at the Fengqing Bar first. Once you get the result, Pan Xingbang will be summoned immediately! Then take the information provided by the police station to Jinniu Plaza and let Tu Mangzi and his gang identify him."
"No problem, we can keep in touch on the phone at any time." I agreed, and Wen Xin and I drove to the police station to pick up the information, and then drove to the city.
On the way, the two of us naturally analyzed the case. Wen Xin first said: "It's no mistake that Pan Xingbang is the concubine, but I still feel that he does not look like the murderer."
Before, I guessed that the murderer and the concubine were the same person based on their actions of framing Wang Yu. Now I know that the concubine is Pan Xingbang. In my eyes, he is not the best candidate for the murderer.
"To say that the person who looks most like the murderer is Li Huiguo, a former special forces soldier," I said.
"Well, after the clue of the ladder came out, Li Huiguo's suspicion actually increased, because we previously believed that the murderer went to the factory to hide before eight o'clock, and at eight o'clock, we were still in Li Huiguo's shop. For
For him, several police officers handling the case were able to provide him with an alibi, which was the best evidence. Also, it was a bit of a coincidence that he happened to see the murderer's back."
I immediately said: "However, if one of the murder weapons is really the one lost in his shop, then it can be said that the murderer deliberately framed him. In fact, the murderer also deliberately disguised himself as Xu Tao, counting the time to let Li return to the pot.
After all, it’s not a secret in town that he goes to the city every Tuesday morning to pick up groceries.”
Wen Xin nodded and said: "This murderer is more difficult to deal with than Tang Tianyi in the female corpse case!"
............
When we arrived at the pedestrian street and parked the car, Wen Xin took me to find the Fengqing Bar. However, the door of the bar was closed, and there was a sign hanging on it that read the business hours: "3 p.m. to 3 a.m."
It was only after eleven o'clock in the morning, so naturally there was no one there.
"Let's go to Jinniu Plaza first." Wen Xin suggested, and I nodded in agreement.
There were not many people in Jinniu Plaza in the morning. We did not find Tu Mangzi in the teahouse. The teahouse owner had seen us yesterday and knew our identity, so he said that Tu Mangzi should still be sleeping at this time and told us about the hotel.
Name, let's go there and find him.
The hotel is near Jinniu Plaza. We arrived soon. Tu Mangzi is indeed a celebrity in this area. After I told him his name, the hotel attendant immediately replied: "He hasn't gone out today yet. I will take you to the room."
Find him."
When we got to the door of the room, the waiter knocked several times, but no one answered. I asked her how many people lived in Tu Mangzi, and she said one person, so I asked her to open the door. After the door opened, I asked Wen Xin to wait for me outside.
, I walked in alone.
The room was filled with an unpleasant smell. Several pairs of black socks were thrown on the floor. Clothes and pants were also scattered on the bed. There was a person lying on the bed, snoring. When I got closer, I saw that it was Tu.
Mangzi.
I patted him several times and finally woke him up. When he saw it was me, he sat up, looked around, and asked, "Officer, what's going on?"
Yesterday, there was a "threat" from crazy brother, and Tu Mangzi's attitude was quite cooperative. After I explained my purpose, he got up, took the stack of photos from my hand, and said that he would take care of his subordinates during lunch.
Called over for questioning.
Wen Xin was waiting outside the room, and when she heard that Tu Mangzi had gotten up, she also walked in. When Tu Mangzi saw Wen Xin and I were alone, he smiled and asked, "Why isn't that police officer who looks like me here?
?”
"Why, is it possible that you really want to recognize him as your younger brother?" Wen Xin frowned at the smell in the room and rolled her eyes at him.
"Hey, how can I be brothers with a police officer?" Tu Mangzi said sarcastically.
"Is this a photo of you when you were young?" Wen Xin caught a glimpse of a photo frame on Tu Mangzi's bedside table and picked it up and asked.
I looked over and saw that the photo in this photo frame was a little strange. It was not ordinary photo paper, but rather looked like it had been printed on A4 paper and then cut.
In addition to the paper, the portraits in it are also strange. There is not one photo in the frame, but three photos put together. On both sides are a pair of middle-aged men and women with dark skin, like people from the countryside, and in the middle is a young man.
, Wen Xin pointed to the photo in the middle.
When Tu Mangzi saw Wen Xin's movements, his expression froze for a few seconds, and then he said, "That's not me."
After hearing this, I took the photo frame from Wen Xin, compared it with the person in the middle photo, then looked at Tu Mangzi, and asked with some confusion: "This is obviously you when you were a teenager, the people on both sides are
They must be your parents, these photos of yours look like the ID photos on the household registration information."
Tu Mangzi stopped talking now, buried his head, and grabbed the greasy hair on his head with both hands. This action made me feel that he seemed to be in some pain.
Wen Xin was more thoughtful and guessed a bit, then asked: "How many years have you been away from home?"
Tu Mangzi still didn't look up and sighed: "It must have been more than ten years ago. I asked the police officer from the police station to find the photos of my parents on your public security website and print them out."
