Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 403 Bone Cave (11)
"The eyes can't see accurately. According to my judgment, this copper button has been buried in the soil for between 11 and 13 years. You guys sit down for a while, and I will take the copper button to Xiao Li in the laboratory for testing. It doesn't take a while. The conclusion will be drawn in hours.”

"So fast? Thank you so much!" This speed was beyond everyone's expectations.

An hour later, Guan Xiong handed the test report to Wu Jiang. There were many chemical symbols and English letters on the report, which he couldn't understand: "Mr. Guan, we can't understand. You said directly tell us the year it was buried in the soil." of?"

"This copper button was buried in the soil between February and November 2004. Does this help you?"

"That's great, it's so helpful." Wu Jiang said excitedly, with deep gratitude.Therefore, Shi Chunfa's suspicion was eliminated.They drove back to Songyin County Bureau to look for the next clue.

Now the silver bracelet is the only clue.

"Even if we find the owner of the small silver bracelet, it will be useless. He is a child. How can he kill Lin Yifeng?" Che Xiaolin said.

"No, what if the murderer was going to give the silver bracelet to his children? But because they met Lin Yifeng, the two had a conflict and smashed Lin Yifeng to death. During the fight, they dropped the small silver bracelet in the hole. ?" Xiao Ke said.

"I think what Xiaoke said is less likely. Farmers will not bring valuable gifts to the mountains to work." Chen Li also grew up in a rural area. Farmers do not do that. They work in the mountains and only wear old clothes. Never bring valuables with you in clothes, because the pockets of old clothes are often torn.

"Why do you have preconceptions? Who says a child can't kill an adult? Archimedes once said the famous saying: Give me a fulcrum and I can lift the entire earth.

"My father told me a case when I was a child. In order to kill his concubine's husband, an adulterer often went to his concubine's house to drink with her husband and asked her husband to sit against the wall. There were many small nails driven into the wall. , used to hang things like clothes and chopstick holders.

"When they were drinking until they were seven or eight, the adulterer and the husband were joking and throwing fried soybeans at each other. As a result, the husband tried his best to throw his head back to avoid the soybeans thrown by the adulterer, and the back of his head hit the iron nail on the wall because The husband did not know that the cap of the iron nail had been cut off by the adulterer with a vise, so the iron nail penetrated his head and died. This case tells us that the weak can defeat the strong, just like the butterfly effect."

Wu Jiang said as he picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it.

"So, does Angkor think it was the child who killed Lin Yifeng?" Zhu Gang asked.

"No, we can't tell whether a child killed Lin Yifeng. What I said is just a possibility. Therefore, we must not let go of the clue of the little silver bracelet, let alone there are ready-made clues in front of us, even if there is not We must also create conditions to find clues. The natural mission of our criminal police is to bring the murderer to justice and defend the dignity of the law!"

Wu Jiang answered sonorously and forcefully, which restored everyone's confidence to find the owner of the small silver bracelet.

Everyone was divided into two groups and visited 110 households in Beiwang Village. Wu Jiang was in a group with Che Xiaolin and Chen Li, and Zhu Gang was in a group with Xiao Ke and Lu Yingying. This grouping was arranged by Zhu Gang.

Che Xiaolin said that now when young couples have children, grandparents no longer give silver jewelry, but gold jewelry. Therefore, the quickest way is to find out the situation from uncles and aunts over 50 years old. Wujiang does not know much about rural customs, so naturally Listen to Che Xiaolin and Chen Li.

In order to protect the evidence from contamination, they went to a gold jewelry store and copied three small silver bracelets that were exactly the same as those found on site. This made it easy to bring them with them when visiting, and each group could bring one.

Under the leadership of Xie Zengqiang, Wujiang and the others began to visit house to house. After visiting 15 houses, they found no clues. It was already noon. After lunch in the village committee canteen, they continued to visit without rest.

They came to Ji Benliang's house. Ji Benliang was an old man over sixty years old. He used to be a carpenter and ran around helping villagers make furniture. Now all the villagers no longer make furniture and go directly to large shopping malls to buy various styles. It's beautiful and practical, so he hasn't helped anyone make furniture for almost 20 years. There is no market for carpenters in rural areas, and young carpenters have gone to work as masters in furniture factories in cities.

Ji Benliang now grows mountain tea at home. Although he is not rich, his life is quite prosperous. In addition, he has a good attitude and looks very young. He is not tall, lean and energetic, and speaks straightforwardly.

Wu Jiang took out the imitation silver bracelet and handed it to him. He looked at it for a while and asked, "Officer Wu, what does this mean?"

"Oh, we are going to visit all the villagers to see who can recognize this silver bracelet. If we know which family this silver bracelet belongs to, we will have a bonus for him. Do you recognize him?" Wu Jiang replied.

"This... it seems that my nephew wore it when he was a child... I wonder if it belongs to him? Because this kind of silver bracelet is found in almost every household." He looked at Wu Jiang uncertainly.

"What's your nephew's name? How old is he?"

"His name is Ji Xianwei. He should be 19 years old this year." "Oh? Has he ever lost this kind of silver bracelet?"

"Yes, when he was 9 years old, he went to the mountains to pick wild dates and lost his silver bracelet. At that time, his parents entrusted him and his sister Ji Xianyan to my wife to take care of him. My wife saw that he had lost the silver bracelet on his wrist and took the bamboo I beat him, but he was very strong and did not cry or run. He raised his head and stood there straight for my wife to beat him. This child is very stubborn, like a disobedient old cow."

"Where is Ji Xianwei now?"

"I opened a barbecue restaurant in Luogu Village, Jiangnan District, Changjiang City. My brother and sister-in-law are also helping in the store. I heard that the business is good. Ji Xianwei is a child with a stubborn temper and is willing to endure hardship. What he believes in will take a lifetime to complete. It's a pity that he is so young. He didn’t have the discipline of his parents, so he didn’t study well, and my wife and I were uneducated and couldn’t teach him, otherwise, he would definitely be a college student.”

"Does your wife also recognize this silver bracelet?"

"You should recognize it, but this kind of silver bracelet is so common that it may not be Ji Xianwei's."

"Did he often go to the mountains to cut firewood, collect herbs, and dig bamboo shoots during his summer vacation?"

"Yes, their family was relatively poor at that time. He and his sister often went to the mountains to pick tea, herbs, and mushrooms. They did whatever they could to make money."

"Will they go to Niujiaoao in Wugong Mountain to pick magnolia bark?" Because Beiwang Village is far away from Niujiaoao, 9-year-old Ji Xianwei said.

"Probably. Although he is very young, he is very strong. At the age of 8, he can pick up 100-[-] kilograms of stones and walk [-] meters."

"Where were their parents working at that time?"

"They are working in an electrical and mechanical factory in the provincial capital and have not returned home yet. They plan to buy a house in the provincial capital and become upright city dwellers.

"According to me, the provincial capital is not as good as our hometown. It has fresh air, beautiful mountains and clear waters. We grow and raise vegetables, livestock, rice, and camellia oil by ourselves. Now during the holidays, many city people come to our village to eat. Farmers’ meals, rice wine brewed by our rural people, subsidies from the state for farming, and no need to pay public grain anymore. How can farmers have such good things for thousands of years?”

He sighed slightly, expressing his regret at leaving his hometown.

At this time, Ji Benliang's wife went home from picking flowers. She picked a small basket of green camellia flowers. Her face was filled with satisfaction and happiness, like a prime minister returning home in splendor.She was not afraid of strangers, so she started chatting with Wu Jiang as soon as she entered the house, saying that the current tea greens are Shuangjiang tea, and a pound of dried tea can be bought for at least 300 yuan. She picked 8 pounds of tea leaves today, which can be made into 2 pounds of dried tea. Therefore, The salary is at least 600 yuan a day.

Taking advantage of her happiness, Wu Jiang took out the silver bracelet for her to identify and asked her if it belonged to Ji Xianwei.She said it was very similar, but she couldn't be sure because it only had patterns and no special markings.

Despite this, Wu Jiang was still very happy that he could at least regard Ji Xianwei as a suspect. With the suspect target in mind, the next step was to find more evidence to support it.

After finishing questioning Ji Benliang and his wife, Wu Jiang asked Xie Qiangqiang to take them to Ji Xianwei's home.Ji Xianwei's home is an adobe house. There are only five such houses left in the village because other villagers have knocked down the adobe houses and built new brick and concrete houses. It's not that Ji Xianwei's family has no money, it's because they want to sell their house and settle in the Yangtze River.

Although it is an adobe house, it is beautifully decorated and has all the furniture and appliances. Only Ji Xianwei's grandfather lives in the house, and he helps Ji Xianwei look after the house.

The house is relatively small, and the soil on the exterior wall has fallen off, forming numerous small pits. Xie Qiang said that the house is at least 50 years old.Wu Jiangyuan thought about the situation when Ji Xianwei and his sister lived in this small house ten years ago. Without the care and love of their parents, the siblings depended on each other and had to cook, cook, earn money, and go to school on foot... How difficult it was, and Compared with the children in the city, they are completely different.

On the table in the living room, there is a photo of Ji Xianwei's siblings and their parents. After the photo was plasticized, it was placed in a thick glass frame. Ji Xianwei was about seven or eight years old at this time. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at someone. Ji Xianyan smiled particularly brightly, like a lotus blooming.Their parents also laughed happily.

Wu Jiang took the photos with his mobile phone to facilitate investigation.Ji Xianwei's grandfather has Alzheimer's disease. He didn't know why they came to his house to take photos. Wu Jiang tried to say a few words to him, but his answers were incorrect and he gave up the effort.

Wu Jiang asked Xie Qiang where ordinary villagers went to make silver jewelry.Xie Qiangqiang said that most of them go to the town, because there is a time-honored gold shop in Qiushan Town. It is said that it is an ancestral craftsman and has been passed down to the 11th generation. This shop is called Eleven Leaf Gold Shop. Although it is called It's a bit hard to pronounce, but as the name suggests, it is owned by the Ye family and is owned by the 11th generation.
