did not meet tonight
Chapter 91 Zhang Banxian
The place where the truck was found was on the old road in the village. Since the new road was built, there have been very few cars passing by here. Usually, there are more electric three-wheelers that pull freight.The road was paved with yellow mud. It rained a little last night, and there were potholes everywhere. They walked for about an hour before they came to the place where the truck was parked.
This is a white light truck with serious wear and tear. Some parts have been painted and rusted. There are a few bamboo baskets thrown on the truck body, and there are still a few rotten fruits and vegetables in it. Good goods were moved away.The car door was not locked, and opened with a light pull, but the key was not inside, the windows were not closed, the chairs were wet from the rain, a few fallen leaves stuck to them, and there was unfinished mineral water on the dashboard.
The car has two rows of seats. Xiao Yu noticed half an obvious footprint beside the rear door. A bottle of unscrewed mineral water was thrown on the seat, but it was full without drinking at all.The trucks are relatively tall, and if you want to get on the truck, you have to grab the door for help. Zheng Anmin and his wife sat in the front seat, which is more than enough. Was this footprint left before, or was there another person who got into their truck that night?
Xiao Yu checked the environment in the car, and it was obvious that Zheng Anmin cherished the car very much. It was cleaned up very clean, and the steering wheel was still covered with a protective cover, but he did not close the windows and doors when he left, indicating that at that time There were other people in the car, and he was only away temporarily.This place is not too close to Li Zilin. If Zheng Anmin planned to go there to receive the goods, he would not be able to walk there on foot. The reason why he left the car must be for another matter.
Li Lan and his body were found in different places. If the person who stayed in the car was Li Lan, then Li Lan was probably killed before him.There were no other traces in the car, which meant that Li Lan was not killed here, but this car was a tool for them to make money. After Zheng Anmin left, what could make Li Lan leave this truck, or in other words, Someone asked Li Lan to leave the truck.
If there was a third person at that time, then they must have trusted this person very much.
He, who could it be?
"It's a pity that so many days have passed. The car was blown by wind and rain, and the scene was so badly damaged. Even if this person left traces, they all disappeared." Ye Jian could guess what happened to those baskets. What happened, it must be that the passing villagers accidentally found that there was no one in the car, took the things away, and left this mess on the ground.
"Let's take a look around." Xiao Yumai got out of the car and said.
Next to the mountain road are dense weeds and woods, and after being washed by the rain, there were no traces left. They searched around the car, but found nothing.Ye Jian said: "Could it be that the hitchhiker rebelled against money?"
"If that's the case, there's no need for him to move the corpse to two different places." Xiao Yu said.
"That's right. The dry well has been abandoned for many years. It's really hard to find the dead body there, but it's also very troublesome." Just after finishing speaking, Ye Jian was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "This well The location is so remote, people outside don’t know its existence, unless the murderer is”
"Unless the murderer is from the village." Xiao Yu continued his words, "And this person is very familiar with Zheng Anmin, so they were not prepared."
"Zheng Anmin is a goods merchant, and most people in the village know him, but judging from the performance of the villagers, his popularity doesn't seem to be very good." Ye Jian touched his chin and said seriously, "This kind of superficially friendly Could it be that they had a conflict with this hitchhiker halfway, and when Zheng Anmin got off the bus, the hitchhiker first killed Li Lan to vent his anger, and finally hanged Zheng Anmin in the plum forest?"
"If they had a conflict on the road, the hitchhiker should have gotten off the bus, not Zheng Anmin," Xiao Yu said.
"That's right, Zheng Anmin is so shrewd, it's impossible to leave his wife and a truckload of goods on the side of the mountain road at night." Ye Jian frowned and pondered, "So why did he get out of the car?"
Seeing the seriousness on his face, Xiao Yu couldn't help joking, "Why didn't you apply for the police academy?"
When Ye Jian filled out his volunteer application, his first intention was indeed Yicheng Police Academy, and he also got the admission score, but the high tuition fees only made him stop, so he chose another university that could provide him with a scholarship. This is also one of the reasons why he insists on becoming a detective, although now, it is only a half-baked one.Of course he wouldn't tell Xiao Yu these things, but said nonchalantly, "Of course the qualifications are unqualified. Why, do you want to be my colleague?"
"My subordinates are all elites." Xiao Yu glanced at him with disgust.
"If I become a policeman, I still don't know who's subordinate!" Ye Jian said with raised eyebrows, no matter whether he has confidence or not, he always looks good.He swept his eyes and inadvertently saw a few inconspicuous dark brown marks on the trunk of the tree in front of him, which were very close to the color of the bark and were extremely difficult to spot.He stretched out his hand to touch it, and the skin of the tree trunk was very wet under the action of the rain, and his fingertips were covered with a layer of reddish black stains. He was stunned, and said hesitantly, "Is this blood?"
Although he could no longer smell the smell, and even the color had changed, Xiao Yu said with certainty after years of experience in handling cases, "This may be the place where Li Lan was killed."
Ye Jian looked back at the truck, and the distance between the two was only a dozen meters. Judging from the time when the murder happened, the murderer was very likely to be near them all the time.He said: "From this point of view, there was indeed a third person in the car at the time."
Xiao Yu took out the ziplock bag, peeled off the blood-stained bark and put it in the bag: "See if there are any clues around."
Ye Jian checked it carefully and shook his head, because of the relationship between rain and weather, even if there were traces left, they had all disappeared.He sighed and said, "It seems that now we can only pin our hopes on this car."
"I will contact Director Tian and ask him to arrange someone to tow the car back as soon as possible." Xiao Yu glanced at the time, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Ye Jian asked after him.
"Go find the person you're looking for," Xiao Yu said.Ye Jian froze for a moment, then remembered that he still had to go to Zhang Banxian, and said in a hey voice, "I thought all of you policemen disliked these talkative people."
Although it can't be said to be disgusting, Xiao Yu really doesn't like it, but everything will vary from person to person.It was almost noon, and no one was queuing in front of Zhang Banxian's small house, and the curtain was still drawn. When Ye Jian saw a copper bell hanging on the door, he shook it with his hand, and there was a quick response from inside: "Come in."
The decoration in the room is very simple. There is a brightly colored painting of the Three Qing Dynasty hanging on the front wall. The tribute table is full of incense and incense, and there is a smell of inferior sandalwood. Zhang Banxian sits cross-legged on the futon, wearing a black gown , with his eyes slightly closed, and his hands clasped in front of his abdomen, he looks about fifty years old, with a slightly fat body, fair and red skin, completely different from the thin and thin appearance of the Taoist priest in his impression, and even less like A person who has lived in a poor mountain village for many years.
"Excuse me, is this Zhang Banxian?" Ye Jian stepped forward and asked.
"I know why you came here, sit down." Zhang Banxian opened his eyes, pointed to the futon in front of him and said.The village is so big, Ye Jian was not surprised that he knew himself, sat down cross-legged in front of him and said, "I am going to move my parents' ashes to Yicheng, and I would like to ask Banxian to count it as a suitable day."
Zhang Banxian nodded: "It's hard for you to have such filial piety, please write me the birth date, death date and address of the cemetery of your parents." He said, pushing a booklet in front of him.Ye Jian wrote it down one by one according to his words. Zhang Banxian took the booklet and counted it with his fingers, sometimes meditating, sometimes chanting.
Although Xiao Yu doesn't believe in this aspect, he respects this traditional culture very much, but even if he is pretending to be a ghost, he should pretend to be a bit like it. The portrait of Sanqing on the wall seems to be bought from a street stall for five yuan a piece. It is too new and too new.After a while, Zhang Banxian finally finished his calculations, wrote a date on the booklet and handed it to Ye Jian: "This time is the most suitable time to move the tomb for Zun parents."
Ye Jian took a look: "This time is three days later, right?"
"That's right, there is plenty of yang energy at noon and a quarter of this day, and it is in line with the horoscope of respecting parents. It is the most suitable for opening the coffin and moving the tomb." Zhang Banxian said with a serious expression, "This matter is related to the fate of future generations, so don't be careless. You must remember this Take a bath within three days, don't get dirty, don't cause disasters, don't go to unclean, unclean and ominous places, so as not to bring dirt on your body, which will damage the feng shui of future generations."
"What is an unclean, unclean and ominous place?" Ye Jian didn't understand.
Zhang Banxian lowered his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "The place stained with blood is a place haunted by unclean wandering spirits, and a place where unclean dead are reborn. That's right, Jushi Ye should have just been to an ominous place, and after returning home, take willow leaves to cleanse himself to wash away the hostility. For the next three days, I hope Jushi Ye stays away from these three places, so as to ensure the peace of the souls of the ancestors, and the future. People are well-mannered."
It was very hot in the room, and Ye Jian was holding the booklet, his palms were sweating: "Is it really so serious?"
Zhang Banxian said indifferently: "That's all the words of a poor Taoist. Believe it or not, it's up to you." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the merit box placed on the tribute table intentionally or unintentionally.Ye Jian knew what he meant no matter how dull he was, he quickly stood up and put 200 yuan into the box, and then thanked Zhang Banxian.Zhang Banxian narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, then said: "What the poor Taoist said just now, please Layman Ye remember it."
After leaving the small room, Ye Jian still had a foggy expression on his face. He remembered his 200 yuan and regretted not knowing the market first.
"Am I being cheated?" He turned his head and asked blankly.
"If you believe it, you have it. If you don't believe it, you don't have it. You can't be cheated, but you can't be cheated." The things that have been passed down for thousands of years naturally have their own reasons. Although Xiao Yu doesn't believe it, he doesn't. will deliberately deny its existence.
"No matter what, just do what he said." Ye Jian stretched, feeling relieved.
Three days, at eleven o'clock three days later, he can accomplish what he has always wanted to do the most.
This is a white light truck with serious wear and tear. Some parts have been painted and rusted. There are a few bamboo baskets thrown on the truck body, and there are still a few rotten fruits and vegetables in it. Good goods were moved away.The car door was not locked, and opened with a light pull, but the key was not inside, the windows were not closed, the chairs were wet from the rain, a few fallen leaves stuck to them, and there was unfinished mineral water on the dashboard.
