Detective: Start with capturing and retrieving the dog

Chapter 33 The Liar
"That's right, smart girl." Han Xin patted Zhao Linshan's head, "Someone told him in advance where the Shi family put their money. From this point, the conclusion that 'the prisoner is a worker' can be overturned, because no matter how thoughtless you are, you wouldn't tell an outsider where your family put their money?"

"Indeed..." Ling Zixing asked tentatively, "Is it possible that the second son, Shi Zhengwu!? He used drinking as an excuse to go home early to do all this, and then pretended that someone was chasing him? That would make sense!"

"I don't think so." Han Xin shook his head. "There are two reasons. The first is the wounds on his body. According to the report you gave me, he has many injuries on his back, which were obviously caused when he was being chased. It would be very difficult to injure him so badly if he did it himself, and even broke the back of his ribs. So he was really hunted down, and the murderer was someone else."

Ling Zixing asked, "What about the second reason?"

"The second reason is that it can prove that Shi Zhengwu is not a murderer, and it can also prove that he has problems." Han Xin said with a slight sigh, and then grabbed a police report from the table: "This is a profile report about the prisoner."

The so-called profiling is to predict the image, gender, personality and other characteristics of the suspect based on the traces of the scene or the method of committing the crime. Even now, there is no such industry as a "profiler" in China, let alone 20 years ago.

This is mainly because "profile" is not 100% accurate, and if the prediction is wrong, it may mislead the investigation.

But in the process of investigating a crime, profiling is definitely not useless, on the contrary it is very useful and can narrow the scope of investigation.

"According to Shi Zhengwu's statement and the comparison of footprints at the scene, the police judged that the prisoner was a male, 1.7 meters 1.7 in height, weighing about 1.7 kilograms, and strong in build." Han Xin pointed to this line of words and said, "However, Shi Zhengwen is 1.7 meters 1.6 in height, brother-in-law Zhang Zonghua is 1.7 meters [-], second uncle is [-] meters, and the two female victims are about [-] meters. A [-] meters [-] man can really kill these five people in a confrontation, and then he still has the strength to chase them in the heavy rain. Is Shi Zhengwu a full kilometer?"

"It makes sense..." Ling Zixing also came back to his senses at this moment, "Shi Zhengwu himself is 1.7 meters five and weighs 65 kilograms. He should not be able to do this."

Then, Ling Zixing punched the table bitterly: "Damn it, we have been misled by this bastard for so many years! No wonder we couldn't find any clues! The direction was wrong from the beginning!"

Zhao Linshan asked anxiously from the side: "The prisoner knows the location of the money, but it's not the second son who did it. Could it be that he has accomplices? But why did he tell an outsider where the money was put at home? Why did he cover up the other party when he was almost killed?"

"The reason is still uncertain." Han Xin shook his head, "I have to interrogate Shi Zhengwu myself to find out."

"He's almost fifty this year..." Ling Zixing said, "If you want to see him, I can arrange it."

"Is it possible?!" Han Xin was a little surprised, "Then let's go, what are you waiting for?"

"Yeah, I've been friends with him for decades." Ling Zixing's expression looked complicated.

Immediately, Zhao Linshan drove behind Ling Zixing, ready to visit Shi Zhengwu.

"Ashin, what do you think is going on?" Zhao Linshan asked while driving the car.

"Actually, it's quite clear here. It should be that Shi Zhengwu colluded with someone and asked him to steal money at home, and then planned to divide the spoils afterwards, but something went wrong." Han Xin shrugged. "As for the specific details, we will not know until we ask him. And... the most troublesome thing is actually the evidence. It has been 20 years, and it is very difficult to find evidence."

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhao Linshan frowned.

"Playing tricks." Han Xin winked at her.

They followed Ling Zixing to a community in Beichang City. This community was very old, and it was still a red brick house in the 70s. This kind of community had no real estate, no parking lot, and gas tanks for cooking. The environment was extremely dirty and messy.

Those who still live in this kind of place are either old people or they are unable to leave here.

Han Xin reckoned that Shi Zhengwu must have something to do with someone in pornography, gambling and drugs.

After the car parked on the side of the road, Han Xin followed Ling Zixing and walked forward.

Before going upstairs, they saw a middle-aged man absent-mindedly squatting on the side of the road nibbling a tomato in the yard downstairs.

This man was wearing a pair of tattered flip-flops and a pair of dirty black shorts. His bare upper body was extremely skinny, his hair was also messy, and his unshaven beard seemed to have not been taken care of for a month.

At this moment, Han Xin knew that his guess was close to ten: today is a working day, it is past ten in the morning, and there is no rest time, and a man in his early fifties doesn't work, so he just has nothing to do here.

Ling Zixing stopped two meters away from the man, and said hello: "A Wu."

As for Shi Zhengwu, the moment he saw Ling Zixing, his expression darkened.

Han Xin narrowed his eyes and quickly sliced ​​his expression: anger, sarcasm, and a hint of...joy.

The next moment, Shi Zhengwu threw the tomato in his hand towards Ling Zixing: "It's you bastard again! How dare you come!? It's been 20 years, and you can't even find out a fart in 20 years! Are you worthy of my parents?! How did you promise them back then? You useless thing!"

As he said that, Shi Zhengwu even wanted to come up and beat Ling Zixing.

But Ling Zixing just avoided the other party's entanglement: "Don't be like this, this time I came to discuss the case with you, we have made progress."

"Oh? What did you find out?" Shi Zhengwu raised his eyebrows.

Panic, tension, anxiety, curiosity... Han Xin continued to slice and analyze Shi Zhengwu's expression.

While the two were chatting, Han Xin analyzed Shi Zhengwu's reaction.

There was no real anger in Shi Zhengwu's attitude towards Ling Zixing, not the kind of grief and anger at losing his family, but a joyful anger, a distorted emotion, as if he was venting his anger on other things to Ling Zixing.

Then contact the other party's "broom star"...

"Have you lost money in gambling recently?" Han Xin interrupted abruptly, "How much do you owe?"

Shi Zhengwu was clever, and turned his head to look at Han Xin in astonishment, almost writing "how do you know" on his face.

But immediately, Shi Zhengwu became angry, stepped forward and asked, "None of your business!?"

Ling Zixing stepped forward quickly: "The case has progressed, we hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

"I'm cooperating, cooperating!" Shi Zhengwu spat fiercely, "It's been 20 years, what else is there to cooperate?!"

However, at this time, Han Xin only needs one sentence to make Shi Zhengwu tempted.

"Don't you want to catch the murderer?" Han Xin asked with a smile, "There will be compensation? And there will be no less."

As soon as Han Xin said these words, Shi Zhengwu's anger was extinguished in an instant, and there was light in his eyes: "Compensation?"
