Special Case Investigation Team VI

Han Bin pushed the chef to make way, the chef looked at the boss, and the boss said helplessly: "Go and bandage it, people who use knives every day will actually cut their hands..."

The chef couldn't help rebutting: "It's not the boss's fault that you suddenly said that kind of tiger and wolf talk."

The boss was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily: "The two men are hugging each other naked - they hug each other, I can't say?!"

"..." If the chef's knife was still in his hand, he would have to be cut again.

When the two were arguing, Han Bin sat down on the small bench given by the chef, grabbed an eel, and handled it neatly. He was slow when he cut the first eel, but he became very agile when he cut the second eel.

The boss and the chef watched Han Bin handle the two eels together, and they looked at each other silently: This man is very good at knife skills.

The boss looked down at the wound on the chef's hand, and waved at him: You should go and bandage it.

The chef looked at Han Bin, who was taking his place, and left without turning his head.

The boss looked at Han Bin tangledly: "You are a doctor, how can I let you do this..."

"Doctors have to eat too."

"No, I was wrong, I mean you are a guest after all..."

"It's okay. I want to try handling the eel. The eel is thin and slippery, and it's a test of knife skills." Han Bin said, "I just wanted the chef to let me try it, but I'm not ashamed to say so."

"..."

Han Bin: "Do you know any other gossip about the Lin family?"

"...I don't know anymore." The boss was very upset and didn't want to say anything.

It took Han Bin 10 minutes to handle the eels for the chef, and the chef thanked him hesitantly.

After the chef started cooking, the boss hurriedly told Cheng Jin and others to stop playing and come to eat.

Several local billiard players looked at the time, ouch, it's ten o'clock, why did you play billiards for so long today?They put down their cue sticks, but they didn't withdraw - they went to the mahjong table instead.

The eel tastes good, the meat is firm and elastic, and the soup is sour and spicy, which goes well with rice.

"The most convenient thing is that it has no bones, so it's so convenient to eat!" Xiao An, who was a little afraid of eels before, is really delicious now.

"There are no bones because the bones were removed." Bu Huan said with a smile, "You have to thank Han Bin, I saw the eel he had been cutting up for a long time."

He looked at Han Bin, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly: "I said, are you free?"

Han Bin ignored him, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables. It happened that Cheng Jin was picking up the same bowl of vegetables for him. Cheng Jin was picking up vegetables for Yang Simi. Do something else, like make trouble.

Inspired, Han Bin put the eel meat with chopsticks that he was going to put into his mouth into Bu Huan's bowl: "I think your mouth is too idle, and there are so many dishes on the table that can't stop it. "

"..." Seeing the sudden extra eel meat in his bowl, Bu Huan showed a frightened expression. He looked at Han Bin for two seconds, then lowered his head to eat silently, and after another two seconds, he quietly moved the chair away from Han Bin. Bin moved in the direction.

When checking out, the boss gave them a 85% discount. Looking at her expression, she was very heartbroken, but after all, most of the eels were handled by the customers themselves, so it would be unreasonable not to discount.

"Boss, do you have any nightlife here?" Bu Huan asked.

"Huh?" The boss looked at him suspiciously, as if he asked a question that could not be put on the table.

"Do you have a place like a bar where you can drink and chat?"

"Oh, no." The boss's face returned to normal, and she glanced at the mahjong table at the other end where there was a rattling sound, "Our nightlife here is playing mahjong."

Bu Huan looked at Cheng Jin.

"You can play if you want." Cheng Jin knew that he wanted to inquire about some more information, "but I don't think there are any vacancies."

"If you want to play, I will make an appointment for you." The boss is very enthusiastic - she can earn table fees again, "How many people do you want to play with?"

"Me, and—" Bu Huan's eyes turned between Han Bin and You Duo. Originally, he usually partnered with Han Bin in this kind of job where he had to spend "nightlife" with the elders, but before The incident of Han Bin serving him food was too scary, so he said, "You Duo, stay with me all night tonight? I'm unlucky and you can win it back for me."

You Duo nodded.

The boss looked at You Duo, this boy is fair and clean, tall and thin, he looks like a good-natured guy, but he wants to play mahjong all night?And it sounds like he's pretty good at mahjong?

Tsk, it's really hard to tell by appearances.

"I'll see if I can call someone." The boss took out his mobile phone and opened the chat software, and said after a while, "It's done, there is someone."

Bu Huan and You Duo stayed in the shop.

Others went shopping in the township, this place is not big, you can finish shopping in a quarter of an hour, and it is very late now, the shops are closed, and there is no one on the street, this small town has already slept in the embrace of the gentle night caught.

In the early morning of the next day, there were crisp and melodious bird calls outside, and an hour later, human voices appeared, and the townspeople began to go out for activities.

After getting up, Cheng Jin walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the morning light shine into the room, then sat by the window to check the information on the mobile phone.

He saw messages from Ye Lai and Bu Huan in the group.

Ye Lai said that they went out to play drones, let Cheng Jin and Yang Simi have breakfast by themselves, and leave them alone.

Cheng Jin smiled and replied to Ye Lai: Did you see the herd of cattle in the drone?

Ye Lai immediately replied: No, the cattle herders probably didn't go out so early.

Cheng Jin: Yes.

Cheng Jin went to read Bu Huan's message again, and Bu Huan said that he and You Duo went back to the room at five o'clock and needed to catch up on sleep, so there was no need to call them for breakfast, just call them when they were about to leave.

Bu Huan reported the results of last night between him and You Duo. The first result is:

Find out what's going on with Guangli's luck—the people who played billiards at dinner yesterday mentioned a man named Guangli who helped the Lin family look after the house, saying that he had luck.

When playing mahjong at night, I finally found out about it: Guangli hooked up with Lin Zifang—she is Lin Ziming's younger sister.

Cheng Jin was very surprised. He had guessed whether Guangli's peach blossom luck would be Lin Ziming's daughter Lin Jing, but he didn't expect it to be Lin Zifang.

The image of Lin Zifang appeared in his mind: short hair, no makeup, and a fit body. It doesn't feel like the kind of person who would casually find someone to date. Isn't she dating the man named Guangli, but In a relationship?

The second result is: Lin Zifang had been with someone from Gaosheng Township before, and they were about to get married, but that person died, and the cause of death was a fire at home, which happened five years ago.

Cheng Jin stared at the message over and over again, was it just an accident?Since someone died, the police should have come to investigate at that time, and they must have found nothing unusual, or the people in the town could not have chatted about it as an ordinary accident.

Footsteps came from behind, Cheng Jin didn't look back, soon he felt a weight on his back and a tight waist, it was Yang Simi who lay on his back and hugged his waist.

He covered Yang Simi's hand wrapped around his waist, rubbed the back of Yang Simi's hand with his fingers, and said, "Bu Huan said that he and You Duo won hundreds of dollars last night."

——This is the third result reported by Bu Huan.

Yang Simi: "What are you bothering about? A few hundred dollars is not enough for gambling."

Cheng Jin felt that Yang Simi was trying to make him laugh, and as soon as this thought vaguely surfaced in his mind, he really laughed.

"It's not enough. However, they also inquired about some things about the Lin family, more precisely about Lin Zifang's love life."

After listening to him explain the details, Yang Simi said: "Even if the fire five years ago was not an accident, there is no evidence to be found. Do you think this fire is related to the current murder case in the campsite?"

"I don't know. I think there are quite a lot of unnatural deaths here in Gaosheng Township. Last year, there was one who was drowned."

Yesterday Song Man mentioned that a man drowned in the river beyond the campsite - the pool player last night also mentioned this man, and made up all the coincidences that he "could die".

Speaking of this, Cheng Jin thought of another case: "Also, Lin Jing's elder brother died of taking drugs, but he probably committed suicide." Cheng Jin didn't like drug addicts very much.

Yang Simi lowered his head and lightly bit Cheng Jin's shoulder, saying, "If they were all murders—murders committed by the same murderer, then he wouldn't just kill people in Gaosheng Township. This place is too small for this kind of murder." People who are easy to kill play."

"Compared to the existence of a murderer who is easy to kill, then I hope that fire and drowning are accidents." After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he pulled Yang Simi's hand around his waist, and if he didn't interrupt Yang Simi, it might take a short time. I can't get out of the house. "Come on, let's go wash up."

When he came to the first floor of the inn, Cheng Jin saw that the front desk had changed, and it was replaced by a man in his 40s.

He pulled Yang Simi forward, first asked about the check-out time, and after getting the answer, he asked, "You have a lot of cows here, don't you?"

The man replied in the affirmative.

"Whose cattle are those?"

"Many people have cattle at home."

"Really? Then I saw a large herd of cattle by the river yesterday evening. Whose family belonged to it?"

"It belongs to many families." The man smiled, "Everyone gave the cattle to one person and asked him to help herd them."

"Oh, so it is. Who is the man who helps the cows? We want to ask him to know something about the cows."

The man looked at Cheng Jin strangely, but still told him the address of the cattle herder.

"Does he smoke?" Cheng Jin asked.

The man nodded: "Smoking, unlike many places in the city where smoking is not allowed, so basically everyone smokes—I mean men."

"Then get me a pack of cigarettes." Cheng Jin pointed to a moderately priced one.

The town is not big, and everyone lives in a concentrated place. Walk through the "commercial street", turn up the mountain, and walk another 100 meters to the door of the cowherd.

At the end of the commercial street, Cheng Jin saw a lively breakfast shop, which seemed to sell soup dumplings, and it smelled delicious.

"Simi, let's come here for breakfast later."

Yang Simi responded indifferently: "Okay."

The cattle herder's surname is Rao, he is an uncle, estimated to be in his 60s, his 60s is his apparent age, unlike Lin Ziming, who is much younger in appearance although his actual age is more than 60s.

There are three people in Uncle Rao's family, two old people and one child. The child is Uncle Rao's grandson. The son and daughter-in-law are working outside, so they leave the child at home.

At this moment, Uncle Rao's wife is staying with the children in the house, and Uncle Rao is tending the small vegetable garden in front of the house.

Cheng Jin thought about it, and finally chose to show his police ID, and asked Uncle Rao to talk to them for a while.

"Just ask you something, don't be nervous."

Uncle Rao nodded, wiped his rough hands, and asked Cheng Jin and Yang Simi to sit down on the chairs in front of the house.

Cheng Jin took out a cigarette and handed it to Uncle Rao.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Uncle Rao obviously relaxed a lot.

Cheng Jin also lit a cigarette for himself, but Yang Simi smoked it as soon as he took a puff, and he didn't light another one after that.

"Old man, what time do you usually go out to herd cattle?"

"It's ten o'clock. It's too early and the dew on the grass is not dry. The cows will have diarrhea after eating it."

"Oh. Did you herd cattle the day before yesterday?"

"I go every day."

"The night before yesterday, a family lived outside in a tent and was killed. Do you know about this?"

"I know, I also guess that you are here for this matter." Uncle Nao sighed, "I didn't think about what to say when you came to ask questions yesterday... I just guessed that you might still have to come to me."

Cheng Jin thought, it seems that Uncle Rao concealed something from the police yesterday. "Then tell us what you know."

Uncle Nao nodded: "I saw them when they drove into the forest, and I went over to chat with them when they set up their tent."

"What time is that?"

"It's about 4 or 5 in the afternoon. I thought their tent was quite big and beautiful, so I went over to have a look. They said they were taking their children out to play, like a picnic. After chatting for a while, I continued to herd cattle. Then I heard that they were killed the next day." Uncle Rao smoked vigorously with a heavy face, and the smoke he exhaled spread into the air, like a small haze.

"What time did you come home tonight?"

"Come back when it gets dark." Uncle Rao took two puffs of his cigarette, and then said, "I didn't see anything wrong when I came back, but didn't it rain the night before yesterday, and the wind was quite strong, I'm a little worried The door and window on the other side of the shed were not closed properly, so I wanted to go over and take a look, when there was thunder and lightning strikes on the road, I saw a man walking on the opposite hill, and he seemed to have gone to the forest below the mountain."

Cheng Jin was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Who is that person?"

Uncle Rao shook his head: "I didn't see it clearly. If it wasn't for the lightning strike, I wouldn't have noticed that person. I didn't think much about it at the time, and I yelled at him, asking who he was and where he was going so late. They didn’t reply to me, and soon went down to the bottom of the hill. Then the next day, I heard that the family who pitched the tent had been killed. Oh, I was really brave at the time, but now I think about it, I’m still scared.”

Cheng Jin echoed, "I'm afraid too."

Yang Simi glanced at him.

"That's right." Uncle Rao sighed, "So when the police asked me yesterday, I didn't dare to say. You said that if that person is the murderer, let him know that I told the police what I saw. Will you come find me?"

"No, wasn't it at night, you didn't see him clearly, and he didn't see you clearly. Although you yelled at him, it was windy and rainy the night before yesterday, so he probably didn't hear you."

Cheng Jin really thought that that person would not come to find Uncle Rao—if the other party was really the murderer and wanted to kill Uncle Rao to silence him, then he should do it before the police came to Gaosheng Township to investigate. Since he hadn't done anything before, Then I won't do it now.

Cheng Jin thought for a while, and then said: "How about this, I will arrange two policemen to guard your town for a while. With the police here, the murderer will not dare to commit crimes again."

"Well, I definitely wouldn't dare to have the police around." Uncle Nao's mood was obviously relaxed.

Cheng Jin: "Do you think the person you saw belongs to you?"

"It should be? Not us, who would go there at night?"
