Chapter

Some things are more difficult than to do.

This is especially true for investigation. As Wan Fenghuo said, sometimes there must be an opportunity to inquire about news. If the opportunity does not come, it is common for waiting for three to five years.

The first opportunity was Li Tan, who followed the clues from him and led to the murder case of fallen mahu that year.

The second opportunity was Cen Chunjiao. Through her, she learned about what happened in the small hotel in Jinan and the murder case of Erlianhot, Inner Mongolia.

The third opportunity was actually Mu Daye. Ma Tuwen told him that she had talked to the girl who was only eighteen years old. She actually didn't know anything. It was her aunt who asked her to come. The woman was named Huo Zihong.

Huo Zihong, fallen mahu?

Luo Ren used this as a target to check it out, and something interesting happened: Huo Zihong was born in the countryside, with a poor family, and her parents were vegetable farmers. She dropped out of school very early and helped to set up stalls. When she was 20 years old, several things happened one after another.

First, her parents returned from selling vegetables and were in a car accident on the way. The rescue was ineffective and both died.

Second, shortly after his parents died, Huo Zihong sold his hometown and moved to Luomahu, where he rented a house at No. 12 Chenqian Lane.

Third, shortly after Huo Zihong moved to Luomahu, the murder occurred. A week later, Huo Zihong withdrew from his rented house, left Luomahu, and never returned.

After that, Huo Zihong's experience was difficult to trace. It seemed that his whereabouts were quite uncertain, and there seemed to be a blank that was deliberately erased. The final stability was eight years ago, when he settled in Lijiang and opened a bar, which has been around until now.

Luo Ren once suspected that Huo Zihong was the murderer, until he found that the most suspected person had died, and his death was surprisingly consistent, such as Liu Shuhai and his uncle Luo Wenmiao, were cut off their left foot and a piece of skin on their backs were cut off.

Huo Zihong must know some things, and these things are the key to all cases.

Unfortunately, the visit to Huo Zihong was not going smoothly. When he asked, "You are actually Li Yaqing," he was actually only 80% sure. After all, people will change. Isn't it said that scholars should look at each other with admiration for three days? There are many miracles in the world. They are born as a vegetable farmer in elementary school, and after so many years, they can be proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Huo Zihong's excessive and fierce reaction made him confident in his speculation.

If it was two years ago, when Uncle and Pinting had just had an accident, he would have been passionate and ignored it. Even if he used extreme means, he would have to ask for some clues. However, two years have passed, and more than 700 days and nights of suffering have made him more calm. Huo Zihong would rather slow down first and turn his eyes to another person.

Kiyo.

A person who is with Huo Zihong day and night may just provide some unintentional detail, which is enough to help him open a door.

But Kiyo is a smart girl. If you want to have trustworthy cooperation, you have to have enough confession to pave the way.

***

To a certain extent, he was right in this step. He had always paid attention to observing Kiyo's expression. From the beginning of being absent-minded to gradually becoming immersed in order to empathizing, to the end, he was already very inclined to him in terms of emotional stance.

She stared at the necklace he had worn again and suddenly asked him: "You actually like Pinting, right? But, isn't she your sister? Or..."

Luo Ren's eyes closed for a moment and did not answer immediately. He was thinking about how to answer. If the love of despair and guilt was added to this tragedy that had already happened, would it make her more sympathetic?

But Kiyo immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, just pretend I haven't asked."

Luo Ren just told her a tragedy in the family, but she asked curiously something irrelevant, which was too incomprehensible.

Kiyo was a little embarrassed: "But, how can I help you?"

Luo Ren looked at her for a while, took out a pen and post-it notes from his pocket. Mu Dai guessed his meaning and consciously helped to move the chili vinegar bottle on the table to the side.

***

He first wrote three pictures and then posted them side by side on the desktop, namely, 1, Luomahu, 2, Erlianhot Grassland, and 3, Xiaoshang River.

After posting another line, I wrote a "site" picture, which was staggered from the previous three pictures, such as a table to be drawn, and then three pictures were arranged in sequence, all of which were written: lines and dolls.

He explained to Mu Dai: "The scene is almost the same, and people are fixed into a scene with threads. I think the threads are made of local materials. Luoma Lake and Xiaoshang River are both adjacent to the water, and fishing lines are common. Moreover, my uncle once visited Luoma Lake and was likely to imitate them deliberately. But the case of Erlianhot Grassland used twisted ropes."

Mu Dai nodded: "But it seems that Erlianhot's case has never heard of the wind at all."

"In the three cases, only the Luomahu case alarmed the police, and there are cases to be investigated. Xiao Shanghe was burned because of the fire at the scene, and it seemed that it was just ordinary murder and setting fires. As for Erlianhot grassland, I dare not make a rash assertion, but I have a speculation."

Speculation? Can you make numbers?

Luo Ren seemed to know what she was thinking: "There is no way, after all, no one has been to the scene. Erlianhot grassland is very erratic, and it is said that there are often grassland wolves. According to Cen Chunjiao, it was winter when Liu Shuhai committed the crime, and that year, the Inner Mongolia grassland encountered a large-scale snow disaster."

"Usually, when a snow disaster comes, the herders will drive cattle and sheep to move as soon as possible, but if the family has been killed, they and their cattle and sheep will have to stay where they are, and they will inevitably freeze to death. During the snow disaster, the grassland wolf is even more vicious and looks for all food to eat."

He paused for a moment, and his fingers scribbled a circle on the table: "Let them smell a little bloody, it's a slaughterhouse."

I understand that in the beginning of the next spring, there will only be a lot of bones left in the crime site. Others will only think it is a natural disaster. Even if they are carefully investigated, they will only be a murderer. They will not think about the scene at that time.

Like the Xiao Shanghe case, they were destroyed and obscured by unpredictable external factors.

Kimyo's heart pounded. This was a case of the same crime that three already knew.

Luo Ren wrote another picture, which was "time of committing crimes".

Mu Dai pointed to the bottom of the column of Locke Lake: "I know this, twenty years ago."

Luo Ren posted a picture on it, saying ">20 years ago", and then posted it on Xiaoshanghe, "2 years ago", the last post on Erlianhot Grassland. Before writing, he took a look at Mu Dayi.

It seemed like he was asked by a teacher. Mu Dayi was a little nervous: "Liu Shuhai passed away in 2010. If he had done the case on the grassland, then it would have been at least 5 years ago..."

She remembered the life information about Liu Shuhai that she read in Bashu Villa, and quickly added: "He left home in 2008 and passed away in 2010. The crime may be between this. You should write it 6 to 7 years ago."

This serious example must be a good student when she was in school. Luo Ren wrote and posted it as she said.

Now, there are three lines of content on the desktop, Luo Ren asked her: "What did you see?"

Muday held his cheek and looked at it: "It has been many years since the fall of Mahu case and the Erlianhot grassland case."

Yes, there was a maximum of 2-3 years between Erlianhot and Xiaoshang River, but there was a minimum of 15 years between Luomahu and Erlianhot.

During this period, there may have been cases that they have not heard of yet, and it may be that there is no murder. But what is the reason for not happening?

Luo Ren posted the fourth line, "Suspect".

Liu Shuhai, Luo Wenmiao, and what is posted under the Luomahu case is a big question mark.

The fifth element, the place where the suspect died is: Question mark, Jinan, Xiaoshanghe.

In the sixth line, the suspect was killed, with feet, skin ingested, and missing rectangular skin. The lower part of the case of the fallen Mahu was questioned as usual.

Line 7, others.

Luo Ren only posted a picture under the column of Liu Shuhai, which said the 2007 car accident in Datong, Shanxi.

Mu Dai felt aroused. She remembered that in the information at that time, Liu Shuhai was a honest and honest man, and never became famous with anyone in his life. The only major ups and downs in his life was that he fell into the water in this car accident and fell into a coma for 48 hours. He suddenly left home in 2008 and died in 2010.

Could it be that car accident that changed something?

Luo Ren wrote another picture, but this time, he just held it in his hand and didn't post it for a long time.

Mu Dayi was very curious. If he hadn't been familiar with Luo Ren, he really wanted to open his hands and take a look.

Luo Ren was really embarrassed to swear her appetite again when he was about to pretend to be nothing.

There were two words written on that post-it note.

Jinan.

"That time, Pinting looked for me and I rushed to Xiaoshanghe. At that time, there was no news of my uncle's disappearance. I asked Pinting, and she thought that something was wrong with her uncle. What was going on."

Pinting couldn't say it clearly. Sometimes, only the closest person could detect the strangeness that was not exposed. She said, it seemed like she had changed a different person, sometimes muttering to herself, sometimes laughing weirdly, and sometimes she suddenly lost her temper in the study room irritably, and tore up a lot of books when she was angry.

Luo Wenmiao is definitely not like this in normal times. He has a gentle image as a middle-aged intellectual and has a graceful manner in his behavior.

Luo Ren asked, when did this change begin?

Pinting thought for a long time, Qiqiaiai, and finally said that it seemed that once, he was invited by a professor of the same major to go to Jinan to give a speech on the history of the confrontation between Xixia and Song.

Something happened that time. Because it was from a nearby city, passenger transport was more convenient than trains and planes. I made an appointment to send a car to pick it up at the passenger terminal, but Luo Wenmiao bought the wrong ticket and the car broke down again in the middle of the way. He got off at the Xijiao Bus Station in the middle of the night.

Midnight? Xijiao Bus Station? Didn’t Cen Chunjiao work as a waiter in the small hotel at the Xijiao Bus Station? And wasn’t Liu Shuhai the small hotel that died in the middle of the night?

I don’t know if it was too shocked, but Mu Dai pointed at Liu Shuhai’s name and couldn’t speak for a long time.

Luo Ren used a pen to connect Luo Wenmiao's "Jinan" and "Jinan" in "the place of the suspect's death", and then gave Mu Dai a positive answer.
