The young man ran over panting and reached out to pick up the hare.
Xu Siqi stepped forward and said jokingly: "Little guy, your archery skills are not good. You missed it by more than a foot."
The young man's face was full of joy, and he looked at the hare in his hand with joy, and said: "It's windy today, and I can definitely hit it..."
As soon as the words came out, he shut his mouth in embarrassment.
It had just snowed, and there was not even a breath of wind.
Xu Siqi smiled and asked casually, "Which village are you from?"
"From Niujia Village." The young man replied.
Xu Siqi said oh, reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder, and said: "Go home quickly. If you run out on a snowy day, your family will definitely be worried about you."
The young man took the hare for a few steps, then stopped after thinking for a moment, stretched out his thumb, and praised: "Sir, your shot is really accurate!"
Xu Siqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's not that I was accurate, it's that the rabbit was unlucky."
Feeling Xu Siqi's kindness, the young man felt that he should give something in return.
"Sir, are you from Shanghai?"
"yes."
"where are you going?"
"Wusong Town."
"Oh, that's okay..."
The young man said seriously: "You can go anywhere, but don't go to the beach."
"Why?"
"There are dead people on the beach."
"What dead person?"
"Drown."
"oh……"
Xu Siqi didn't take it seriously.
In Shanghai, a city with many rivers, drownings occur every year.
The young man was very serious and said seriously: "My mother said that if a person drowns, he will become a water ghost. The water ghosts are very resentful and the underworld will not accept them. There is no way, if the water ghosts want to be reincarnated, they must
Find a substitute in the human world. By the way, water ghosts are all blind, so it’s best not to go to the riverside for seven to nine days, especially children."
Xu Siqi smiled and said, "Then you still dare to come."
The young man grinned: "My mother said that as long as you don't go to the river, you'll be fine."
Out of professional habit, Xu Siqi asked casually: "Where was the body found?"
The boy said: "On the beach, I heard from the adults that it should have been brought by the high tide."
"May I have your name?"
"A Liang."
Xu Siqi suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, not too big or too small.
As the tide rises and falls day after day, it may not be long before Zhang Badou's body, just like the female corpse, will be washed to the shore by the sea.
Of course, there is another possibility.
The body sank to the bottom of the river forever, becoming food in the bellies of fish and shrimp, and in the end only a pile of bones remained.
It was nothing at first, no one saw it anyway.
It's different now, this A-Liang in front of him has seen himself.
When the time comes, the police will definitely look for witnesses, and nearby villagers will inevitably have to question him.
This is how to do?
Ordinarily, it is safest to kill someone and silence them.
However, facing an innocent half-year-old child, Xu Siqi couldn't do anything no matter what.
Failure to do so means that hidden dangers remain.
"I guess, he must not be a local..." A Liang muttered.
My life only depends on the other person's thoughts.
He didn't realize it.
Xu Siqi was a little uneasy and asked perfunctorily: "Male or female?"
"female."
"female?"
"Um."
"how old?"
"She's almost like my mother... bah, bah, bah!"
A Liang spat on the ground a few times.
Comparing the dead man with his mother, no matter what, he feels a little unlucky.
"Then, how do you know she is not a local?"
"No one in the nearby villages knew her, and the clothes she wore didn't look like her. She was wearing a gold ring with the word "branch" engraved on it. The police said she was probably from the city. In our village, except for the village elder's wife,
, no one has a ring at home, not even my mother..."
When he said the last sentence, A Liang's eyes looked a little more lonely.
On the day the female body was found, nearby villagers came to watch the fun.
When the police brought the body up, many people saw that there was a yellow ring on the hanging ring finger of his left hand.
Obviously, the ring is a custom-made one with the word "branch" engraved in the middle.
Xu Siqi's heart moved.
The gold ring has the word "branch" engraved on it?
He remembered clearly that Sugawara Eda wore a gold ring on the ring finger of her left hand all year round.
Engraved on it is the word "branch".
A Liang just said that the deceased was about the same age as his mother.
Women in the countryside generally marry early. They basically become wives at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and there are even a lot of people who get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Judging from Aliang's age, his mother is in her early 30s at most.
That is to say, the deceased was also around 30 years old.
Not a local...
Wearing a gold ring with the word "branch" on her hand...
The age is also completely consistent...
Coincidentally, Sugawarae has been missing for a long time.
If there are too many coincidences, it will lead to associations.
…
Watching A Liang carry the hare away.
Xu Siqi returned to the car and continued driving towards Wusong Town.
The condition of the female corpse must be confirmed.
As for A Liang having seen him, there is no good solution for the time being, he can only take it one step at a time.
Even if Zhang Badou's body is discovered and Aliang provides clues to the police, the matter is not irreversible.
Shanghai has a population of one million and the sea of people is huge. It is impossible for two people who have no intersection with each other to meet each other in their lifetime.
There is no doubt that Xu Siqi and A Liang are people who have no intersection.
The chance of them encountering each other by chance is basically negligible.
What's more, who would have thought that the murderer would be Detective Inspector Hua.
Even at the last step, Aliang testified face to face.
As long as Xu Siqi denies it, he can escape completely with the help of Detective Hua's talisman.
About forty minutes later.
The car finally arrived in front of the Wusong Town Police Station.
It's about three o'clock in the afternoon now.
It's sunny after the snow.
The sun shines through the clouds and shines on the ground, reflecting the white snow, which makes people feel very dazzling.
Wusong Town Police Station is a single two-story building.
There is a plaque hanging in front of the main entrance: Wusong Town Police Station, Shanghai Special City.
In addition to a few police cars at the door, there were more than 30 bicycles parked in a haphazard manner in the carport.
Xu Siqi got out of the car and walked into the police station.
Passing through the empty reception room, we went straight to the Criminal Division office.
The police station and patrol room are basically the same. The superiors have separate offices, and the people below are classified according to departments and all work in the same large room.
Xu Siqi came by chance.
The Criminal Division is dealing with a gang fight.
More than 20 people were divided into two groups, squatting on the ground with their heads in hands, waiting for further treatment.
The guarantor who came to intercede, the relatives and friends of both parties were all talking about it, and it was like a pot was boiling in the house.
Generally speaking, such cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau.
The problem is that criminal cases rarely occur in Wusong Town. In a small place like this, ordinary security cases occur endlessly.
There are more than thirty police officers in the police station.
The security team was overwhelmed, so the criminal team had no choice but to help.
