Chapter 32

"I'm sorry, because many details in this case cannot be disclosed to the public, so we can only talk about it at my home." Ling Zixing apologized first, and then looked at Zhao Linshan: "Who is this girl?"

"Oh, my beautiful female assistant." Han Xin patted Zhao Linshan's shoulder.

Zhao Linshan smiled slightly at Ling Zixing, but her heart beat faster: This kid said I'm pretty!

"Really? Come in, you don't need to change your shoes." Ling Zixing waved his hand and came to the living room. The dining table was covered with various documents, and there was a blackboard next to it, with some yellowed photos and various interpersonal relationship diagrams pasted on it.

After sitting down, Ling Zixing began to explain the case.

In January 2000, a rainy night.

In a residence near a certain construction site, a tragic murder case occurred. Five victims were Shi Zhengwen, the eldest son of the Shi family, Zhang Lihua, daughter-in-law, Zhang Zonghua, Zhang Lihua's younger brother, Hu Xiaonan, and Shi Zhengwen's second uncle, Shi Jiancheng.

But there was a survivor that day, Shi Zhengwu, the second son of the Shi family.

According to Shi Zhengwu's later confession, when the five members of Shi's family were attacked, he just came back from the outside and bumped into the murderer, who then launched a pursuit of him.

Although seriously injured, he survived in the end.

"According to this situation, he should have seen the murderer's appearance. He should have the appearance characteristics of the murderer. How could the clue be broken?" Han Xin asked puzzled.

"According to Shi Zhengwu's confession, it was too dark at that time, and the other party was wearing a mask and hat, so he couldn't see clearly." Ling Zixing replied, "However, he provided the characteristics of his body shape."

According to Shi Zhengwu's confession, the murderer is 1.7 meters five and has a strong build. It seems that he should weigh about [-] kilograms.

Seeing this, Han Xin couldn't help but frowned and pondered.

But immediately, Ling Zixing introduced more details, such as the photos taken at the crime scene.

"There are pictures of the victim in it, which are more bloody, can you bear it? Ordinary people may have nightmares." Ling Zixing asked tentatively.

"It's okay." Han Xin shook his head, "I'm the one who wants to help them avenge their grievances, so that they can rest in peace, and they will thank me. Why do I have nightmares?"

"Good boy..." Ling Zixing smiled approvingly and nodded, then gave him the photo.

"Just read the coded version." Han Xin covered Zhao Linshan's eyes.

"But, but!" Zhao Linshan was a little anxious, but Han Xin had already stood up and came to the side: "No but."

The photos showed the bloody corpses of the five victims, the location of the corpses at the scene, and some scene evidence collected by the police, such as footprints, bloodstains and other traces, in addition to forensic autopsy reports and other data.

"The murder weapon was a hammer, and it was thrown on Shi Zhengwu's escape route." Ling Zixing added, "There are no fingerprints on it, and because of the heavy rain that day, the footprints were also washed away. The only clues are those in the house."

"Hmm..." Han Xin nodded. He took out his mobile phone, opened the Detective App, and upgraded the "basic deduction" to two levels: Although the basic deduction is limited when catching and recovering dogs, it is still very useful when investigating such murders.

After the basic deduction method is upgraded to LV2, in addition to the basic ability improvement, there is also a special effect "crime scene restoration": use the memory palace and logical reasoning to restore the crime scene in the mind.

So Han Xin gathered the information he had just seen in his mind, and the darkness slowly dissipated. The photos, case descriptions and other details he saw just now became concrete pictures, which gradually became clearer.

The next moment, he was already standing outside the house where the crime happened.

Shi Zhengwen's family of six came here from other places to work, so they rented a small house not far from the construction site. This place is too remote, and there is only one house every few kilometers.

Han Xin advanced in the illusion and came to the window of the five members of the Shi family.

It was [-]:[-] in the evening, it was already dark, and it was still raining heavily, and there were weak lights in the house.

Shi Zhengwu's family just got their salary from the construction site today, so they are in a good mood. They are discussing going home this year to buy some pork stuffed with sausages and dried bacon, planning to have a good New Year.

Only Shi Zhengwu and his co-workers went drinking and have not come back yet.

Since we had to get up at four o'clock the next morning to cook and then go to work on the construction site, the family went to bed at nine o'clock.

Time accelerated, and at about ten o'clock, a dark figure quietly pushed open the south window and easily entered the house.

The window on the south side has been broken for several weeks, and the Shi family didn't bother to fix it because it was a rented house. After the project was over, they had to change places to work.

After the gangster entered the house, he began to search for cash in the house, but was discovered by Shi Zhengwen, so he simply became murderous, grabbed a hammer from the cabinet, and brutally killed all five members of the family.

When the time came to 10:30, Shi Zhengwu hummed a ditty and appeared from the end of the road. He opened the door, and what appeared in front of him was a scene like hell.

He froze for a while, then turned around and ran, calling for help while running, while the murderer was chasing after him.

The two ran wildly along the road for a full kilometer. In the end, Shi Zhengwu was caught up in the heavy rain, and the other party caught him with a hammer!

However, in the end, an oncoming private car frightened the murderer, who dropped Shi Zhengwu, turned his head and rushed into the darkness...

At this point, Han Xin finally opened his eyes and dispelled the illusion in his mind.

"There are a lot of doubts." Han Trust pondered while rubbing his chin.

"A lot of doubts?" Ling Zixing was a little surprised, "For example."

"The police's speculation on the suspect here." Han Xin said, pointing to the information Ling Zixing gave him, "Since the five members of Shi's family got their salaries, the other party came to steal on the day they got their salaries, so they obviously knew when the construction site paid their salaries. The police deduced from this that the murderer was probably a worker on the construction site."

"Then we checked the people on the construction site who didn't have an alibi, and none of them could match Shi Zhengwu's statement." Ling Zixing nodded, "What's the problem? Isn't it reasonable?"

"First of all, the time for committing the crime was too short." Han Xin held up the photo of the murder scene: "There were a lot of traces of fighting at the scene, and there were multiple wounds on the bodies of the five members of the Shi family, which proves that they were not attacked in their sleep, but had a fight. The murder weapon was also taken from the house rented by the Shi family. It is certain that the criminal's plan was to steal money. Why did they kill the five members of the family in the end?"

Han Xin said solemnly: "Because he had already received the money when he was discovered, but the money was the hard-earned money of the five members of the Shi family for nearly half a year, and it was also their New Year's expenses. How could they give up? So they started to resist in order to get the money back. During the entanglement, the prisoner gradually became angry and killed him."

"It is indeed reasonable...but why do you say that the time for committing the crime is too short?" Ling Zixing asked puzzled.

"Shi Zhengwu came home at 10:30, and Shi's family slept at nine o'clock, so it can be inferred that the prisoner entered the house between 09:30 and [-] o'clock." Han Xin analyzed: "This prisoner was in a small two-story mansion. He found the money on tiptoe, and then killed five people, but it only took less than an hour? What does this mean?"

"It means that he already knew the location of the money in advance!" Zhao Linshan suddenly said with a slap.
