After hesitating for a moment, Lao He still nodded: "Okay, come in."

  Lao He's family is indeed poor. The most valuable piece of furniture in his home is an old black and white TV. Now he can only find one, and it's always sizzling with snow.

  There was not only one person in Lao He's house. His wife was sitting on the bed, watching TV blankly. When she saw so many people coming in, she panicked: "Who are you! What are you doing in my house? Help! Lao He help me!"

  Zhou Ze frowned slightly, and it could be seen that Lao He's wife had some mental problems, but the specific reason was unknown: "What's wrong?"

  Lao He replied in a deep voice: "This is my wife. She suffered from Alzheimer's two years ago, and she can't remember things. But it's fine today, and she still remembers me."

  Zhou Ze choked, it turned out to be the reason: "I'm sorry, we were abrupt."

  "It's okay." Lao He turned around to comfort his wife: "Don't be afraid, they are not bad people and will not hurt us."

  Lao He's wife hid behind him: "You...Didn't you say you want to buy me something delicious? Why are you back?".

Chapter 421

  "I'll buy it for you tomorrow, okay? There are guests at home. You should go to the inner room and stay there before you come out."

  "A guest?" Lao He's wife's brows slowly loosened, he walked around Lao He to Zhou Ze, and slowly stretched out his hands to hold his cheeks: "Is it Jingjing? Jingjing, you are finally back, Why didn't you tell your mother in advance? Do you know that your mother misses you so much?"

  "Jingjing?" Zhou Ze didn't know who Jingjing was. The village chief stepped forward and explained to Zhou Ze in a low voice: "Jingjing is Lao He's son. He has been working outside for all these years and hasn't come back for about two years. already."

  Zhou Ze was a little surprised. Just now he said that Lao He's wife suffered from Alzheimer's disease two years ago. Now they say that their children have not come back for two years. Lao He's wife has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for two years. Jing has never come back to visit?

  Lao He took his wife's hand and dragged her into the house: "This is not Jingjing, Jingjing hasn't come back yet, just listen to me and don't come out, or I won't buy you delicious food!"

  Lao He's wife looked aggrieved and seemed to be very afraid of Lao He, so she obediently entered the house and closed the door.

  Taking a deep breath, Lao He sat beside him, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, "Comrade police, you have seen my family at 28, the reception was not good, please bear with me... I do have something to do today, So please hurry up and ask, I'm going to work."

  "No hurry." Zhou Ze sat in front of Lao He: "Tell me about your personal information first, I can record it."

  While talking, Zhou Ze opened the notebook. Under normal circumstances, other than asking passers-by for useful clues, under normal circumstances, he would not make records.

  Watching Zhou Ze take out his notebook, the second team of police officers behind him even understood.

  Lao He said: "My name is He Benchang. I am [-] years old. The family relies on a few acres of land and the money earned by the children's part-time work as all sources of income."

  "Mr. He, do you know anything about the case where the Li family was wiped out within a month of [-] years ago?" Afraid that he would not admit it, Zhou Ze added: "As far as I know, your whole family was killed [-] years ago. Moved to Lijiagou and lived in this place, you became neighbors with the Li family when you were ten years old, it is impossible for you not to know about the Li family, right?"

  With his lips squirming, He Benchang nodded heavily: "Yes, I know, but it was the harvest season of wheat at that time. I was busy in the fields every day, and I didn't have time to care about the movements of the Li family."

  "People in the whole village are in a panic, do you still have the heart to harvest wheat?" Zhou Ze looked at him jokingly: "Even if you are busy harvesting wheat during the harvest season, it can only be harvested during the day, right? You live next to Li's house, so close to their house, do you know if there is any movement in their house?"

  "I really don't know." He Benchang's mouth was hard: "I was so tired during the day, and I basically fell asleep when I came back home at night... If my wife doesn't have Alzheimer's, she can explain it to me, But unfortunately, I have no witnesses, so you can misunderstand me however you want."

  "You're wrong, we didn't misunderstand you, I just asked normally." After thinking about it, Zhou Ze asked again: "Mr. He, did you have a holiday with the Li family?"

  Startled, He Benchang thought he had heard it wrong at first.

  After confirming again and again, he abruptly stood up and raised his voice, glaring at Zhou Ze and scolding: "Comrade police! It's your business, not mine, when you come to investigate the Li family's murder case thirty years ago! Although I live close to the Li family's family. , but it doesn't mean that I know everything about the Li family!"

  "I've told you everything I need to say. And it's been [-] years since this incident. To be honest, I've forgotten a lot of things! Comrade police, that's all I can cooperate with you. Please have this time. Ask more and ask other people, maybe you will find more useful clues!"

  Saying that, He Benchang picked up the previous package and was about to leave. Zhou Ze saw the opportunity to pull his package and pull it away.

  The clothes inside were scattered all over the place in an instant, and they were all He Benchang's own clothes.

  The village chief took a close look, picked up one of them, and said, "Lao He, isn't this your own clothes? Where are you going to send these clothes? You give these clothes away, what do you wear yourself?"

  Lao He's eyes widened, and he hurriedly packed up all the clothes scattered on the ground: "My son bought me some new clothes on the way. I'm going to give these clothes to my wife's mother for the winter, can't I?"

  "So that's how it is." The village chief returned the clothes to him: "But... your mother-in-law's house is not far away, and you will be there in less than ten minutes?"

  The village chief didn't know that He Benchang was the murderer. He dumbfoundedly exposed everything He Benchang said, which made people feel a little funny.

  He Benchang's face was turning green, and he didn't dare to say anything: "Could it be that I'll just come back when I go? It's going to be winter in a blink of an eye, and I'll definitely have to give my mother-in-law a rest!"

  "Then go." Zhou Ze suddenly said, "I'm really sorry to delay you for so long. Do you want to drive you there?"

  "No need." Taking a deep breath, He Benchang packed up the package and prepared to leave.Before leaving, he did not forget to glance in the direction of the bedroom door.

  Those eyes, which seemed to be reluctant to part, were all captured by Zhou Ze.

  When He Benchang left, Zhou Ze told Zhao Guangliang: "Follow He Benchang, don't let him escape."

  Zhao Guangliang is not a fool either, he understands what Zhou Ze means: "I understand."

  The village head was a little confused.After Zhao Guangliang left, he asked Zhou Ze, "Comrade police officer, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Lao He is the murderer?"

  "I didn't say that." Before the evidence was conclusive, Zhou Ze didn't want to tell the truth, even if the village chief had no bad intentions.

  Zhou Zebi made a gesture and asked the village chief to sit down: "Village chief, I want to know, how old is Jingjing this year?"

  "Are you talking about Lao He's son? It's [-] years old this year."

  "Thirty years old?" Zhou Ze frowned and muttered.Comparing Jingjing's age with the time when the Li family was exterminated, this is too consistent.

  Could it be...

  Zhou Ze suddenly thought of a possibility, he grabbed the village chief's hand: "Do you have Jingjing contact information?"

  "Yes. But I have to go back and look for it."

  "Ok, I will wait for you."

  The village chief hurried back to find Jingjing's contact information.

  At this time, Zhou Ze slowly got up and walked towards the bedroom.Pushing the door open, he saw He Benchang's wife sitting straight by the bed and looking out the window, as if waiting for someone.

  Hearing the news, she turned her eyes back and stared at Zhou Ze blankly: "Where's Lao He? I saw him go, did he go buy me something delicious?".

Chapter 422

  "Yes." Facing the patient, Zhou Ze was very gentle: "Is he good to you?"

  "I don't know." He Benchang's wife clasped her hands tightly and lowered her eyes: "He...he always says I'm his wife, but what is a wife? Every day he goes out, he says to buy me something delicious. Yes, but never brought it back to me. No...he..."

  He Benchang's wife suddenly raised her head again and looked at Zhou Ze blankly: "Who is he? Who are you?"

  Zhou Ze was ashamed, he should have thought that He Benchang's wife was emotionally unstable and had Alzheimer's disease. Suddenly, she couldn't remember a person, and suddenly she remembered something, which was normal.

  Without waiting for Zhou Ze to speak, she murmured again: "Jingjing is very cute. When he brought him back, his face was full. My lover told me...he will be our child in the future. Haha... I'm not in good health and can't have children, but I always wanted to have children of my own, and it was my husband who fulfilled my wish, and I love my husband very much."

  Zhou Ze's eyes widened, He Benchang's wife couldn't remember He Benchang, but she was very clear about the origin of the child Jingjing.

  The baby brought back...

  It seems that the child who disappeared at the end of the Li family is not dead, he is Jingjing!

  Zhou Ze stepped forward and held He Benchang's wife's hand: "Is Jingjing really not your child?"

  "No! Jingjing is my child!" She pulled her hand back, her eyes full of strangeness: "I have raised him for [-] years, how could it not be my child?"

  "Do you remember how Jingjing was brought back?"

  "I don't remember..." She shook her head: "Jingjing...is very sensible, very well-behaved, and very filial to us. I still remember when he was three years old, he ran to the edge of the cliff to play, if it wasn't for me When he arrived in time, he fell. After he came back, he kept apologizing to me and admitting his mistakes. I was really angry and moved. If he dies, I don’t want to live anymore.”!”

  It seems that He Benchang's wife only remembers things about Jingjing, but she doesn't remember the origin of Jingjing at all.

  Zhou Ze walked around He Benchang's house and saw no black gas at all, not even a hole in the ground.It seemed that Zhou Ze was wrong. He Benchang was indeed the murderer, but the source of the hole was not in his house.

  Soon, the village chief ran back and brought Jingjing's information and contact information: "Comrade police, Jingjing has been working in a factory in Linzhou these years. This number was filled in when he came back two years ago, I don't know. Can you get through?"

  "let me try."

  Zhou Ze took the information, took out his mobile phone and pressed the number.After a long time, someone answered: "Who is it?"

  "Hello, is this Mr. He Jingjing?"

  "Yes, I am."

  "I'm Zhou Ze, a member of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Linzhou Police Station. We are now investigating a case of killing a family [-] years ago in Lijiagou. Some of the details need your cooperation in the investigation. Do you have time to come back?"

  He Jingjing was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said, "I was just born thirty years ago, what does this have to do with me?"

  With a smile, Zhou Ze explained: "We will naturally explain to you when you come."

  Taking a deep breath, He Jingjing seemed a little reluctant: "But I still have to work here, and I'm afraid I won't have time these days."

  "We will have a special person in charge to explain to your boss at your work. This case is very important to us, and we cannot delay a day."

  "This..." He Jingjing didn't know what to say for a while: "Well, I'll tell the boss and see if I can go back."

  "Wait." Zhou Ze stopped him: "You should stay in Linzhou, we will go find you."

  "it is good."

  After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ze arranged for Geng Qing, Zhang Yan, and Qian Tao to stay in the village to continue examining other households to see if there were any clues.And he and Zhou Xiaoyu rushed back to Linzhou to find He Jingjing.

  Because Zhou Ze suddenly thought of something that could not be done in Lijiagou, they would have to go back to Linzhou to do it sooner or later.Instead of wasting time, it's better for them to go back directly.

  When Zhou Ze and the two were on the road, they received a call from Zhang Yan.Zhang Yan got some useful clues by asking.

  According to the villagers, after the Li family was destroyed, He Benchang's wife became pregnant.But He Benchang's wife was very strange during her pregnancy. There was no pregnancy reaction, no taboos, and her belly was still small, and the shape was different every day.It was as if a quilt was stuffed into it.

  Ten months after giving birth, many villagers went out to pay homage to the crowd. People who came back said they didn't see the child's face, but looking at the body shape, it didn't look like a newborn child at all, but one or two years old.

  Through these narrations, Zhou Ze can be sure that He Jingjing is the child of the Li family and was taken away and adopted by He Benchang.

  He Benchang's wife was falsely pregnant, just to hide the truth!

  Near noon, they came to the factory where He Jingjing was.Because of the good communication in advance, He Jingjing's boss did not embarrass them.

  He Jingjing, wearing a staff uniform, was sitting in the staff canteen waiting for Zhou Ze and Zhou Xiaoyu.

  The two sat in front of He Jingjing, which made him nervous: "¨" Comrade police, you are finally here. "

  "Have you mentioned to your parents and mother about our visit to you?"

  He Jingjing shook his head: "I haven't looked for it yet, I'm afraid they will worry about me... Comrade police, although I'm young and haven't experienced this, but in the years I've grown up, I've been more or less concerned about the Li family. I have heard some rumors. I think the clues I can provide, you can also hear from other villagers, why do you have to come to me?"

  "We came to you this time not because of the Li family's annihilation case, but because of you."

  "Me?" He Jingjing didn't understand even more: "Comrade police, I have never done anything illegal. Why did you come to me? Could it be that my father and mother did something (money is good)?"

  "Don't get excited, your father and mother are fine, nothing happened. But..." Zhou Ze sighed: "We have found out that your father is the murderer of the Li family."

  "Impossible!" He Jingjing stood up abruptly: "My father is honest and kind, and has a docile personality. It is impossible for him to do such a thing. Comrade police, do you have any evidence? Where is the evidence?"
