Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

The restaurant owner brought over the dry pot of pork intestines and enthusiastically recommended, "Our specialty soju is good, and the side dishes are very delicious."

"Then let's have a pot!" Xu Wenshan said.

Tian Mu had to drive and couldn't drink. Xu Wenshan took a sip of fat sausage and a sip of wine, which was indeed a good taste, but the shochu had too much stamina.

After having enough wine and food, Xu Wenshan lay down.

Zhang Tianmu drove Xu Wenshan back to Hermit Village. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xu Wenshan said, "It's okay, I can walk back."

"Is it really okay?"

"Don't worry!" Xu Wenshan smiled drunkenly. He held Zhang Tianmu's hand, as if he was telling the truth after drinking, "You...you can make a friend. Remember!" Xu Wenshan stretched out his index finger and tapped Zhang Tianmu, "Remember, Liu Yun!"

After saying that, Xu Wenshan wandered away.

It was already ten o'clock at night. Zhang Tianmu returned to the car, turned on the music, took out a cigarette and smoked, thinking about Xu Wenshan's words, remember, Liu Yun.

Could it be that my idol (Xu Wenshan) is reminding me that Liu Yun is related to this case and that she is Chen Xiaosong's accomplice?

Yes, Liu Yun has enough conditions to do this.

Her and Chen Daqing's homes are across the street. After Chen Xiaosong kills Chen Daqing, he can first find a way to hide the body in Liu Yun's home.

Then, late at night on June 6, Liu Yun moved Chen Daqing's body back to Chen Daqing's house and set it on fire without anyone noticing.

Although Liu Yun is a woman, she is relatively strong. She lives alone and does all the work in the house.

Chen Daqing is small and thin, but Liu Yun can move Chen Daqing.

But——Zhang Tianmu fell into another thought.

why?

If it was Liu Yun who moved the corpses and set the fire, then why was she the first to scream at the top of her voice to the whole village, "There's a fire, there's a fire."

It was Liu Yun who discovered the "fire" first, and then other villagers went to put out the fire.

If Liu Yun was a criminal, she should not scream, but hide whenever she could.

If she calls like this, she will become a witness in the case and be involved in the case.

Why would she expose herself so blatantly?

With a headache from thinking about it, Zhang Tianmu sat in the car and smoked a cigarette.

A song "He Must Love You Very Much" by Adu came out inexplicably. I should be in the car, but I shouldn't be in the car to see how sweet you are.

Should I be in the car?

Shouldn't I be in the car?

The lyrics in this song seemed to inspire Zhang Tianmu. He sat up suddenly and understood immediately.

After the sudden realization, Zhang Tianmu was very excited, and his brain was thinking rapidly about the feasibility of all this logic.

Need to verify!

By the time Tian Mu figured it all out, it was already one o'clock in the morning. The village was quiet, with the villagers snoring and sleeping soundly.

It's not appropriate to go to the village at this time. Why don't you go back to the dormitory at the police station first?

No, Zhang Tianmu didn't want to go back and forth again. He simply sat in the car, smoking a cigarette, continuing to think and reason, keeping his eyes open, looking at the time, and letting the time pass by minute by second.

.

At six o'clock in the morning, the old man in the village heard a knock on the door.

It's so early, who is it?

Lao Ma yawned, got up and opened the door, and saw Zhang Tianmu outside the door with dark circles under his eyes and an unusually energetic expression.

Zhang Tianmu grabbed Old Ma and asked, "Old Ma, when the fire broke out, were you the first to put out the fire?"

Lao Ma was stunned for a moment, and after a long pause he said, "No."

Then, Zhang Tianmu knocked on Xu Kun's door again and asked Xu Kun, "Were you the first to put out the fire when the fire broke out?"

"Yes, yes."

"Great, can you tell me in detail who were the other villagers around you after you went out?"

.

Two days later.

A middle-aged woman named Xu Min went to the Criminal Investigation Team to report the crime. She took out her mobile phone and said, "Comrade police, I...I know who killed Chen Daqing."

The policeman was surprised and asked, "Who?"

"It's Chen Xiaosong." Then Xu Min took out his mobile phone.

There was a text message on the phone. The text message was sent to her by Chen Xiaosong last night. Chen Xiaosong actually turned on the phone again.

The content read, "Sister, it was me, Chen Xiaosong. I was the one who killed Chen Daqing. He was so bad that I had to kill him and burn his body. Hey, sister, I'm going to run away now. You Can you lend me 1 yuan? Don’t tell the police."

Xu Min is Chen Xiaosong's distant cousin. Yesterday, she received a text message from Chen Xiaosong, thought about it all night, and came to report the crime.

Xu Min said, "Hey, comrade policeman, I know I can't hide this matter, so I'll be lenient if I confess. Hey, comrade policeman, Chen Xiaosong is really not a bad person, he just did something wrong temporarily."

The policeman asked, "Are you familiar with this?"

"Of course, I'm his cousin."

The policeman took Xu Min's cell phone, flipped through it, and read several chat records between Xu Min and Chen Xiaosong. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned.

These two are not very familiar.

Except for the one that Chen Xiaosong suddenly sent last night.

The last text message was sent a year ago, and the content of the text message was, "Best wishes for the new year, happy new year, and a steady stream of talents."

The last one was sent a year and a half ago. The content of the text message was, "Sister, has your son opened a shop? I have good yellow croaker and it's cheap. Do you want it closer?"

The last one was sent two years ago. The content of the text message was, "It's me, Xiaosong. I'm going to do seafood now. If I have a business, I need light."

One text message a year. It was obvious that the two of them were not very familiar with each other.

Chen Xiaosong and Xu Min were distant relatives. When the police asked Xu Min, they found that they had not seen each other for several years and had not called each other.

The only connection is these text messages, and the contents of the text messages are all related to Chen Xiaosong's seafood business.

Also, from the content of the previous text messages and Chen Xiaosong's file, the police knew that Chen Xiaosong was not highly educated and had not read any books.

The text messages he sent were full of typos and very direct.

Xu Min replied to two of the first few text messages:

"New Year's greetings, New Year's greetings, the source of talent is pouring in." (Komatsu)

"Happy New Year." (Xu Min)

"It's me, Xiaosong. I'm going to do seafood now. If I have a business, I need light." (Xiaosong)

"Okay." (Xu Min)

There was no reply.

"Sister, has your son opened a shop? I sell very good yellow croaker and it's cheap. Do you want it to be closer?"

This further shows that the relationship between the two is just ordinary relatives, and Xu Min does not take special care of Chen Xiaosong.

But this latest text message is very problematic. In the text message, Chen Xiaosong said——

"Sister, it was me. I was the one who killed Chen Daqing. He was so bad that I had to kill him and burn his body. Hey, sister, I'm running away now. Can you lend me 1 yuan? No. Tell the police."

This text message seems ordinary, but if you read it carefully, it is carefully designed.

First of all, only in this text message, Chen Xiaosong finally made no typos.

Furthermore, the content of the text message was short but logically clear. In the text message, Chen Xiaosong admitted to killing people, burning corpses, saying that he was leaving, and then asked Xu Min to borrow money, and asked Xu Min not to tell the police.

Actually, this is all irony, right?

If Chen Xiaosong really killed Chen Daqing, why would he tell a distant cousin whom he hadn't seen for several years?

He is not stupid, he must know that based on his relationship with Xu Min, Xu Min will not lend him 1 yuan. Besides, Chen Xiaosong is in business. If he wants to escape, he can't even get 1 yuan? impossible.

In the text message, Chen Xiaosong specifically emphasized "Do not notify the police." In fact, the real purpose was to ask Xu Min to notify the police.

Xu Min found out about this. Faced with a relative she didn't know well, a murder, and the need to borrow money, after comprehensive consideration, she would definitely go to the police.

The police speculated that this latest text message was not sent by Chen Xiaosong.

There was another person who sent this text message. This person really wanted Chen Xiaosong to convict Chen Daqing for taking the blame for Chen Daqing's death.
