traces of all things

"My hometown is not in Ninghai City. Before we moved to Ninghai City, our whole family lived in Liwan Village below Ninghai City." Zhan Jiaxing was not covered by a hat at the moment, and his sparse hair mixed with a trace of gray was completely exposed. Under the light of the interrogation room, his tall and strong body sat on the interrogation chair, looking inexplicably miserable.

"Comrade police, can I have a cigarette?"

Captain Tian nodded to Xiao Wu, the forensic doctor beside him, and Xiao Wu touched his pocket, took out a box of Stone Forest and ordered one for him.

Zhan Jiaxing smoked very quickly, probably because he was used to driving a taxi with a cigarette in his mouth, and his hands were fixed on the chair, which did not affect his rapid puffing.

It didn't take long for a cigarette to be smoked.

"When we were in Liwan Village, our old Zhan's family was the most famous family in the village." When Zhan Jiaxing said this, there was some memory in his eyes: "There are three males in our family, all of them are tall and strong. , can go to work in the fields, and can also study quietly. The eldest brother is a civil servant, the second brother is a businessman, and I went to be a soldier. Everyone has a bright future. When people in the village mention our three brothers of the Zhan family, there is no envy."

Speaking of this, Zhan Jiaxing lowered his head and sniffed: "At that time, I was really happy—the elder brother and the second elder brother took care of me. Although our father died early, we are happy together as a family."

"and after?"

It was Wei Xiongfeng who spoke, and he frowned slightly, with an expression of "Then why did you kill your second brother's family?"

"Later," Zhan Jiaxing's mouth twitched, showing a half-smile expression: "The good times didn't last long. After the second brother married the second sister-in-law, he quickly became rich with the help of the second sister-in-law's family. On the other hand, the eldest brother ate With those few dead wages, I was injured in the army and had no future to return to the sports car. Life became more and more difficult. Gradually, the second brother changed—he no longer contacted us, and he did not go back to see his mother. For some money, my eldest brother and I called him a lot at that time, and he reluctantly accepted my mother to live with him for a while. As a result, my mother was run off by the second sister-in-law and the parents of the second sister-in-law every day, and she became angry within a few weeks He was sick, and he didn't even say a word!"

As he talked, Zhan Jiaxing seemed to be gradually infected by the anger. His face turned blood red, his eyeballs popped, and his teeth were gnashed.

"I still remember that when I begged him for a good job, he sat on the sofa, gave a 'ho' sound, and looked at me as if he was not looking at his brother, but looking at a piece of garbage... How unreasonable it is , why does he look down on me?"

Yes, why?

Obviously, they were all equal people, brothers who grew up in the same yard and planed food in the same field.

The more Zhan Jiaxing talked, the more excited he became, and his expression seemed to be full of impassioned and righteous indignation.

Damn him!

Shouldn't he be dead?

"I thought about enduring these things and went through them. I didn't expect that one day when I got home, I saw Jiao Jiao secretly wiping away tears... Zhan Jia and that bastard, the female employees in my company, just let it go. His sister-in-law would not let him go, I ran over to question him, but he still refused to admit it, saying, "As for your wife's beauty, don't give it to me for nothing"!...It just so happened that Katsuo also had the same idea, and I later I called her, bought a kitchen knife, and took advantage of the decoration of his house to match a door key. Katsuo loves watching TV and knows a lot. I followed her advice and bought two pairs of Jiefang shoes and brought gloves. …It was easy to kill my brother and my sister-in-law’s parents, but when I killed my sister-in-law, she woke up, but she was weak compared to me. Katsuo came to help when he was done with it, and finally we drove a rental car I took the van back to the city on a side road, I threw the Jiefang shoes into the river near the Rainbow Bridge, I threw the kitchen knife into the trash can, and I burned the gloves and bloody clothes.”

After talking about the whole process of committing the crime in one breath, Zhan Jiaxing seemed to be still in the aftertaste of excitement, trembling all over, gasping for breath, his chest heaving up and down.

"A scum like him deserves to die!"

Finally shouting loudly, Zhan Jiaxing's expression was a little relieved.

Looking at his upright and stern face, Lu Zheng was very annoyed, resisting the urge to punch him, took out a book from his evidence bag and spread it out in front of Zhan Jiaxing.

"Brother Messenger of Justice, how do you explain this book in your house?"

What was thrown in front of Zhan Jiaxing was a thin white book, the corners of which had been turned up a bit. On the cover was printed a row of red Song type characters "Huaguo People's Inheritance Law".

This booklet was obviously often read by the owner, and one of the pages was folded at a corner, and a few lines on it were highlighted with a red ballpoint pen.

"...Article [-], estates are inherited in the following order: first order, spouse, children, parents. Second order: brothers and sisters... After the inheritance begins, the heirs of the first order will inherit, and the heirs of the second order will not inherit. None Those inherited by the heirs in the first order shall be inherited by the heirs in the second order..."

In particular, the word "No" in "There is no first-order heir" has been circled countless times with red pen, and it seems a little blurry.

It looked like a dark red blood stain, which made people feel shocking for no reason.

**

After a lengthy interrogation, Zhan Jiaxing and Zhan Shengnan were finally brought to justice.

The task of the special case team was also successfully completed, and Geng Zhizhong showed mercy and rewarded several people with a whole day's vacation.

Linhai, Ninghai City not only has the most beautiful white sand beach in the province, but also has countless delicacies of various colors.Lu Zheng had never been to Ninghai City before, and now that the case was closed, he just remembered that he had promised Tang Shaoyuan to treat him to seafood when he went to search Zhan Jiaxing's house, so he simply asked Wei Xiongfeng and Geng Zhizhong together. Do you two want to come together?

Not surprisingly, Geng Zhizhong, a daughter-in-law, naturally wanted to rush back to the provincial capital to accompany his daughter.What surprised Lu Zheng was that Wei Xiongfeng, a little alcoholic who had to play games, also said that he wanted to go back to the provincial capital.

"Hey!" Wei Xiongfeng retorted in a broken way while reluctantly refusing: "I have to go back to the blind date—my mother has spoken, and if I don't go this time, I will be kicked out of the house. It's not thirty, it's obviously just a little fresh meat!"

Lu Zheng, a real 30-year-old man on one side: ...

"Wouldn't it be nice for someone to introduce you to you?" He patted Wei Xiongfeng's head with a smile: "Treasure it, I think there is no chance to have my parents help me."

Tang Shaoyuan on the side: ...

"Hey, goodbye, my Pipi shrimp! Goodbye, my swimming crab!" Wei Xiongfeng lamented exaggeratedly, and got into Boss Geng's white car with a tired expression.

Boss Geng's car roared by, leaving only Lu Zheng and Tang Shaoyuan on the side of the road.

"Let's go, Shaoyuan." Lu Zheng whistled with great interest, and waved at Tang Shaoyuan: "After all, we two are lucky."

The night is hazy, and there is a golden full moon hanging on the dark blue sky. Under the bright moonlight, the bathing beaches in Ninghai City look particularly soft. The bustling crowds during the day have left, and only the tides are left hitting the beach the sound of.

A few hundred meters away from the beach is a row of plastic sheds, but at this moment, there is a lot of people, people come and go, and the hot air floats into the sky, condensing into a white mist in the gradually cooling sea breeze, as if It's a wisp of smoke.

"Pricked——" With a sound, an iron plate was placed heavily on the table, the lid was lifted, and a fresh and fragrant smell wafted out.

"Salt grilled oysters! Brothers, use it slowly!" The owner of the seafood stall spoke vigorously, with a taste of cross talk.

Lu Zheng stretched out his finger and picked a big one and put it on Tang Shaoyuan's plate: "Taste it."

Tang Shaoyuan thanked him, and poked the snow-white and tender oyster meat in front of him with his chopsticks, as if he was a little helpless.

"Shao Yuan has never been to Ninghai before, right?" Lu Zheng smiled when he saw it, stretched out his hand to break off the oyster in front of him, pried it with chopsticks, and a piece of white and tender oyster meat was completely dug out.

"Ah—" Lu Zheng held up the chopsticks and brought the oyster meat to Tang Shaoyuan's mouth.

Tang Shaoyuan's face turned red in an instant, and he was not very conspicuous under the dense smoke and dim light, but he was still noticed by Lu Zheng.

"Haha, don't panic, I've never used these chopsticks before." Lu Zheng looked at him with a bit of embarrassment, thinking that his old problem of cleanliness had fallen again, smiled, and touched a clean little one thoughtfully. bowl, put the oyster meat in and pushed it in front of Tang Shaoyuan.

Tang Shaoyuan looked down at the oyster meat in the bowl, and beat himself up and down eighteen times in his heart.

"This case is really unexpected." Tang Shaoyuan was secretly annoyed, and quickly changed the topic to a safer one, and started talking about work.

"It's born from the same root, so why bother with each other?" Lu Zheng shook his head and sighed, took a sip of the sweet iced cola, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

On the afternoon of the day when the case was closed, Team Leader Tian Ziyao took several capable men and four members of the special case team to Ninghai City No. 1 Civilian Hospital to visit the mother of the three Zhan brothers.Although the old lady Zhan is over eighty years old, she has a fair and disheveled face, which looks quite young, but now that her life has undergone tremendous changes, she has lost weight rapidly, her cheeks are sunken, and she looks a bit haggard, but Really started to look like an old man.

"What a crime... What crime did I do in my previous life..." The old lady sat on the bed, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes, tears kept streaming.Facing the police who came to condolences, they ignored her. Lu Zheng and the others found that her mental state was not very stable, so they left the fruit basket of visiting patients and left early.

"The old lady is pitiful." Tang Shaoyuan said.

A few days ago, I was still sharing family happiness with my children. In just a few days, the three sons and a bunch of grandchildren died, and those who committed crimes committed crimes. The last one except the third daughter-in-law had no one. remain.

Decades of brotherhood eventually collapsed because of the accumulation of hatred.

After Lu Zheng heard this, he sighed again, looking at the flickering lights in front of him, he even got a little drunk without drinking, and Tang Shaoyuan in front of him looked at him quietly, which made him suddenly want to talk.

"Alas...Actually, I should have a brother too."
