Chapter 89 Important Discoveries
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Wu Song narrowed his eyes, opened his right hand, and clenched it into a fist.
If I remember correctly, Yuanyuan Village, near Qiushi Middle School, has a population of just over 10,000.
"I'll go through every single villager, one by one, to find you! You can't escape!"
With over a million people in the city of Gotham, Wu Song couldn't possibly scan every single one of them.
But in a village of just over ten thousand people, Wu Song could actually make sure that every single one of them passed the test!
"Let's go back to the crime scene!"
Having essentially ruled out students and teachers from the school, there was no point in staying there any longer, so Wu Song took Liu Shutong back to the crime scene.
"Have you found anything?" Cao Dahua, seeing that Wu Song had been gone for so long, probably guessed what Wu Song had been doing and immediately cast an inquiring glance at him.
"No!" Wu Song shook his head. "Master, what about you?"
"No, it's said that Hao Min's parents have a pretty good reputation. They're just honest farmers who have never argued with anyone. Nobody would guess who has any major grudge against their family to do this."
"Maybe it's not because of any grudge. Some people just act impulsively and don't care about anything else," Ma Xiaowu said.
"The preliminary examination is complete." Forensic doctor Liu walked over, taking off his gloves as he said in a low voice, "The deceased died around 10 p.m. last night. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation; he was likely suffocated by someone's hands."
We found white fibers on the victim's teeth, as well as white fibers and some bloody skin tissue under the victim's fingernails, suggesting that the killer may have been scratched.
In addition, I have made another very important discovery.
The forensic doctor's voice lowered, and his gaze met Cao Dahua's in the air. "The murderer was suffocated first, and then assaulted."
"Silk……"
Everyone gasped.
"Is your throat bone not broken?" Cao Dahua asked immediately.
"No!" Forensic doctor Liu shook his head. "That's why I called it an important discovery. After smothering someone to unconsciousness, you need to keep them deprived of oxygen for at least five minutes to kill them. He smothered the victim to death with his hands!"
"That means the deceased's real purpose wasn't to violate him; he intended to kill him from the moment he made the move," Ma Xiaowu continued to speculate.
"Not necessarily." Lin Wenshu pushed up his glasses. "One possibility is that the murderer was just trying to kill. Another possibility is that the victim and the murderer knew each other. The murderer originally intended to assault a woman, but after making the move, he realized that he knew the victim and she knew him. Fearing that the victim would recognize him and send him to prison, he simply killed the victim first."
"Regardless of the reason, it means the murderer must be within the victim's social network!" Wu Song looked at Hu Suo, "Could you show me to the victim's neighbors first?"
Since Cao Dahua said the deceased's parents had a good reputation, they must not have any deep-seated hatred towards them.
Wu Song immediately suspected his neighbor.
Neighbors in rural areas may not seem to have any deep-seated hatred, and may even get along quite well.
But maybe you'll hold a grudge because your house affects my house's lighting, your steps are higher than mine, your house has done something to ruin my house's feng shui, or your house takes up 10 centimeters more of my house.
It's not impossible that they might even decide to take action over some other trivial matter.
Human hearts are far too complex.
"I don't know his exact address either. I'll ask his second uncle to take you there."
"it is good."
"Let's go then."
Hu called a police officer from the local police station, and also a middle-aged man in his thirties who was with the deceased's parents. "This is her second uncle."
"Officer, my niece is so young, you must avenge us!"
"I will!" Wu Song nodded solemnly. "Shall we go see the deceased's neighbors first?"
"No problem, wait a minute, let me take a look first." The deceased's second uncle stopped, looked at the crowd of onlookers, and pointed to a middle-aged couple, "Zhang Er! He's my eldest brother's neighbor."
"Oh?" Wu Song glanced at the middle-aged man. There was no black mist on him, so in Wu Song's opinion, he could be largely ruled out as a suspect.
However, being cautious, Wu Song still called the couple over and asked, "Are you the deceased's neighbor?"
"Hmm, we've watched this girl grow up. I never expected this. You know what, I don't even know what to say." The middle-aged man clicked his tongue, full of emotion.
How old are you?
"I'm fifty."
"At this age, it's a time when you have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise," Wu Song nodded. "How old are your parents?"
"He's over eighty."
Okay, the father can be ruled out as a suspect.
"Where's your son?"
"Hey." The middle-aged man laughed. "To be honest, after having two daughters, I was fined a lot, and even the cows were taken away. I finally had a son after trying for a third child, and he's only eight years old this year."
"Where were you around 10 p.m. last night? What were you doing?" Wu Song continued to ask.
"What else can I do but sleep?" the middle-aged man said. "My whole family can vouch for that. You don't suspect me of being the murderer, do you? How could that be! But..."
The middle-aged man looked around and said in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone I said this. I think my neighbor Zhang Er is a big suspect. That guy likes to steal petty things. He was even sentenced to a few years of labor reform for hooliganism a few years ago. He might do something like this in a moment of impulse, like having a son without an anus."
"Oh, then take me with you too, so I can meet this Zhang Er you mentioned."
"That won't do!" The middle-aged man shook his head. "Whether I'm right or wrong, won't I just make another enemy? I'll have made enemies with their relatives."
"I know who he's talking about!" Hu said. "I've arrested this guy before, and I know where he lives."
"I'll go too, I know who he is!" The deceased's second uncle followed.
……
It's only about 400 or 500 meters from the crime scene to Zhang Er's house.
The door to their house was tightly closed.
They even inserted it from the inside.
"It's up to you." Wu Song gave the deceased's second uncle a look.
"Zhang Er! Zhang Er!" The deceased's second uncle knocked on the ring in the mouth of the gate beast.
"Coming, coming! Who is it? Trying to call back your soul?" A middle-aged woman walked over, cursing, and opened the door.
Upon seeing Officer Hu in his uniform and another officer, the middle-aged woman's expression changed slightly, a flash of fear crossing her face before quickly being replaced by a fawning smile. "Officer Hu! What brings you here? My father has been very well-behaved since he was released; he's never done anything wrong."
"Oh." Hu glanced into the courtyard. "I need to talk to him about something."
"That might be a bit of a coincidence, she's not home right now!" The middle-aged woman gave an awkward smile. "I don't know which of her friends she's gone to see."
