devil's son

The chicken thieves who don’t know where they came from, their actions became more and more rampant in just one month. Not only Lijia Village was robbed, but several villages near Lijia Village had their homes stolen one after another. At first, only a few chickens were missing Chickens, ducks, geese, and later even pigs, cattle and sheep also suffered.

The big pigs and cows are there, and chicken thieves can't steal them away. A half-grown goat weighs only a few kilograms, and a stronger woman can carry it away.

The nearby villages are all covered with mountains, which are very suitable for raising goats. People in Tongcheng have the custom of drinking mutton soup to warm up every year on the winter solstice. Every year on the eve of the winter solstice, goats are very popular, and some people will go to the village to buy them.People in Lijia Village are generally lazy and have no financial sense. Only Lao Litou's family raises goats.But in several other nearby villages, there are quite a few families with good conditions who made a fortune by raising goats.

Poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese are not very heavy. In 2001, the price was not high, and they were not worth much.

Big animals like pigs, cattle and sheep are valuable, especially cattle, which are the main force of farming. They are carefully cared for all year round, and the cattle themselves are also valuable. Half-sized calves can sell for thousands of dollars. For some families, It is said that cattle are the most valuable possessions in the family.

But this chicken thief who doesn't know where he came from is really abominable. It's fine if you steal some chickens, ducks and geese. Occasionally steal a sheep or two, and the loss is barely within the acceptable range, but you kill the pigs and cattle that can't be stolen from other people's homes , it's too much!

The chicken thief was outraged, and the people of several villages united, especially those who had suffered losses, gnashing their teeth to catch the chicken thief and deal with it to death!

However, this chicken thief is extremely cunning and agile.Several times, he was almost found out, and he slipped away.

There is no doubt that this chicken thief is very familiar with the surrounding terrain and paths, and everyone speculates that it is an acquaintance who committed the crime.As a result, everyone couldn't help but doubt and suspect each other. Several villages were full of chaos, and the temporary team for catching thieves quickly fell apart.

The chicken thief seized the opportunity, and another family's cow was killed by the chicken thief. If it hadn't been discovered in time, the family would have lost other things.

Thousands of dollars were lost all at once, and the villagers were so anxious that they couldn't catch the thief, so they called the police and let the police solve it.

Dozens of households in several villages jointly filed a lawsuit against the police station. The things they lost were worth less than 2 yuan. However, the behavior of the chicken thief has aroused public anger and the impact is extremely bad.It also coincided with the crackdown period in the new century. As soon as the case was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of the Tongcheng police. On the same day, they sent special personnel to visit several villages door-to-door to investigate the situation.

After some investigation, the investigators really found some clues, but even they couldn't convince themselves of the object of the evidence.

"I see that old man and old lady, most of them are buried in the soil, it doesn't look like they can still steal chickens."

"That's right, several villages headed by Li's Village even set up a bandit catching team. They are all young and strong from each village. Not to mention old men and old ladies, even young people may not be able to escape their arrest. I Personally, I don’t think this family did it.”

The captain of the criminal police, Zhao Jun, happened to pass by and listened. Lijiacun, old man and old lady, combined with several key words, he immediately thought of the child who made his hair stand on end.

"What happened to the case you just mentioned? Tell me about it."

Wang Jun has been the captain of the criminal police for 20 years. He has handled many difficult cases and is well-known in the police circle.Almost all the people in charge of investigating this theft case were fresh graduates from the police academy. With all their sincerity, they wished to join the criminal police team immediately and become the Sherlock Holmes of the police world. The ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. The case of the chicken thief was the first "big case" they had handled since they came to work.

Wang Jun suddenly asked them something. The two brothers blushed as if they were called by the teacher when they were in school. They organized their language a little bit and explained the whole case.

At first glance, it sounded like a theft case with a rather nasty plot, but after a little reasoning, Wang Jun discovered something strange.

"Those big animals killed by chicken thieves, have you checked? Can you judge the murderer's tool from the wound?" Wang Jun is investigating a tricky murder case, and his mind is full of criminal investigation methods.

The chubby young policeman with a round face said bitterly: "We also thought about starting from this, but when we received the report and rushed over, the cow had already been dismembered."

The tall and thin young policeman added: "The villagers in the country said that it was a pity that the beef would be spoiled due to the hot weather. Before reporting the crime that morning, they disposed of the cattle and sold them to people in the same village at a low price. When we went there , the cow has been divided until only the bones are left."

"Is there no clue on the cow's bone?" Wang Jun has rich experience in criminal investigation. He has always believed that as long as the method is used correctly, the dead can still speak.

The two young policemen shook their heads one after another. The round-faced policeman thought of something, and said hesitantly, "We asked the local villagers about the cause of the cattle's death, and they gave a somewhat vague answer."

"What kind of suspense method?"

"They said that the cow was sucked dry, no, the blood was drained, and it lost too much blood and died." Not only the cows, but also the pigs, these big animals died, they were reluctant to throw them away, to confirm that these big animals were not poisoned After they die, they are cleaned up and sold to the villagers at a low price, which can save some money. If they can't be sold, they are salted and eaten slowly.

Lijia Village, including the surrounding villages, is remote and far away from the city. The villagers have no means of earning money. Can see meaty.Meat can be bought for less than one-third of the normal price. Who cares? As long as it is not poisonous and does not spoil the stomach, the villagers are happy to spend a small amount of money for tooth-beating sacrifices.

The meat of these large livestock killed by chicken thieves is indeed non-poisonous, but the color of the meat is very abnormal. People with a little experience can tell at a glance that these livestock almost bleed out the blood in their bodies before death. So that after the meat is cut, it is much lighter in color than the normal slaughtered animals.

"What about the blood? Have you found the place where the thief bled?" Wang Jun asked.

"It's strange because we went to the scene to see that there was no large area of ​​blood on the scene. If the villagers are telling the truth, then the only possibility is that the chicken thieves took away the blood. But this doesn't make sense at all, it doesn't fit Normal logic."

Killing a large animal is not much easier than killing a person, especially if it does not disturb other people.What's more, only the blood of animals is killed and taken away, but the more valuable pigs and beef are not taken away. The whole body blood of a pig or a cow weighs a lot.

Of course, there is another point that is illogical. It takes a lot of time for pigs and cows to bleed dry from their bodies, and it is impossible for this process to be silent.However, the villagers who reported the case said that they heard nothing, and the family who had just died of cows, because chicken thieves were particularly rampant during this period, they did not dare to sleep too much at night. On the night of the crime, the men of this family After three o'clock, I got up to pee, and found that there seemed to be a figure in the cowshed. After chasing after him, the figure disappeared.According to him, the cow was still hot to the touch at the time, but when it was cut open, it was found that the blood on the cow was almost drained.

"Did that person see the thief take the blood away? What tool did he use to take it away?"

The young policeman shook his head, and the tall, thin man said, "That thief ran so fast, he didn't even have time to call for someone, and he disappeared."

"Based on these characteristics, we believed that the perpetrator should be a young man with sharp ears and eyes and quick movements. According to the evidence collected at the scene, there were not one perpetrator but two perpetrators, one between 154 and 156, and the other between 165 and 167." Between [-] and one of the suspects is likely to be a woman, both of whom are very thin."

"Based on these characteristics, we investigated all the residents of the village where the incident occurred and the surrounding villages. There were a total of 10 people who met the conditions. An old couple, except that the age does not match our speculation about the criminal, the other characteristics are completely consistent."

"Li Angui? Sun Hong?" Wang Jun has a strong memory. Not only does he remember the couple's names, he also remembers that they have a son named Li Dongsheng, whose nickname is Dongzai.

"That's right, it's them! But the villagers don't seem to want to mention them, as if they're avoiding something. Li Angui and Sun Hong are too old and look very weak, so they shouldn't have the ability to commit crimes. However, what they gave us It feels kind of weird."

"What kind of strange method?" A thought flashed through Wang Jun's mind, but the speed was too fast for him to catch it.

Dongzai also thinks that Mom and Dad have become a little strange recently.

He hated sunbathing even more than him, his body smelled stinky, and his body became cold and hard. Holding him was not as comfortable as before.

But as long as mom and dad are around, Dongzai will be very happy and satisfied.

And now my father doesn't go out to work during the day, and stays with him at home, telling him stories and teaching him how to read all day long.Mom makes meat for him every day, it's delicious.

He can hear his parents clearly now, and he learns things much faster than before.In addition to talking about mom and dad, he can also say Dongzai, good boy, and can count to 5. Not only can he recognize mom and dad and his name, he can also write.

Dong Zai handed the small book with the names of the whole family to Old Li. His belly was slightly shy after he had eaten recently, his little hands were behind his back, and he looked at Lao Li with his big eyes proudly and nervously, his small face It is full of words: Praise me quickly, praise me quickly...

The writing on the small book is very large, crooked, and there are some missing arms and legs. It is better to say that it is drawn than written.

Dongzai reads picture books every day recently, and has learned to draw without a teacher. The painting skills are, um, the level of a soul painter.

Old Li looked at the small book, three stick figures with big heads and small bodies, holding hands, with names on their heads.The one with the biggest head on the left is Li Angui, and Dongzai specially shaved his beard. The shorter one on the right is Sun Hong, and Dongzai drew long hair for him. The shortest and smallest one in the middle is Li Dongsheng. Dongzai carefully gave them Draw a smiley face.There is a small tree behind the three stickmen, and there is also a small smiling face on the tree.

Xiaoshu also has a name. Dongzai wanted to write Xiaohuai, but even Lao Li couldn't write the word Huai, so he just wrote it as Xiaoxiao.

Old Li looked at the crooked words in the small book, and laughed happily, revealing a mouthful of white and pointed teeth, and two canine fangs like fangs.

"Our Winter Cub is so smart! Old lady, come and see the portrait that Dong Cub drew for you!"

"Hey, come here come here."

In a dilapidated alley in Tongcheng, old-fashioned residential buildings are scattered on both sides of the narrow alley.

At the end of the alley, there is a two-story building with a small yard.

Different from the dilapidated appearance of the buildings in the courtyard, the courtyard is full of vitality and shade.

The sweet-scented osmanthus tree can't help but bloom ahead of time, full of silvery flowers, the breeze is coming, and the fragrance is tangy.

Under the huge sweet-scented osmanthus tree, an old man with white hair and beard was lying grinningly on the recliner, half-closed his eyes, threw two peanuts into his mouth, picked up the wine glass placed on the stone table next to him, and poured it into his mouth. down, down again...

"Ah Huang, you stole my wine again!"

On the osmanthus tree, a big golden cat yawned, meowed twice, and flicked its tail comfortably.

"Forget it, I have a distinguished guest today, so I won't settle accounts with you for the time being!" The old man picked up the jug next to him, poured it, and poured it again, "Dead cat!!!"

"Meow~"
