Chapter 12: Arrested

Views:

If people are compared to a precision instrument, then emotion is undoubtedly the core thing. Human beings can build spaceships to rush out of the earth, but human beings can't figure out what the people around them are thinking.

Lin Shu was the one who killed for his grandma. I think even if Lin Shu didn't tell his grandma, his grandma could feel it.

"So, even if Lin Shu wants to run away, he can't leave his grandma behind." I firmly said to Mary, "That means Lin Shu is still in Takizawa City at all. His grandma."

While fiddling with her computer, Mary said without raising her head, "The old lady said that Lin Shu hasn't been back for three years."

"That's why I said that the old man was lying." I went to Mary's computer and found that Mary was still looking for clues about Lin Shu through the Internet.

Upon hearing this, Mary turned off the computer, and said, "What if Lin Shu doesn't come back?"

"That's fine. If Lin Shu doesn't come back, I'll put up a sign and walk around the street." I tapped on the table and said, "If Lin Shu comes back, what will you do? In this way, when the time comes, you will be in Shaoxing. Say a few more good words in front of the team leader, so I can become a regular."

"Is that why you want to become a regular?" Mary looked at me seriously.

I nodded: "Yeah, I don't know what else I can do."

"By the way, where are Team Leader Shao and Gu Chen?" I looked around, but I didn't find any figures of these two people.

Mary said: "Group leader Shao went to investigate the clues, and Gu Chen is still staying in the garbage pond near the old man."

"It's been a day and a half!" I couldn't help being surprised when I heard Mary's words: "He's still squatting there, isn't there a shift?"

Mary shrugged her shoulders, also showing a look of helplessness: "We contacted through text messages on the mobile phone. Gu Chen said that if he always changes shifts, he is easy to be found out, and it is easy to scare the snake. So when he can't stand it anymore, he will change shifts. I remember Team Leader Shao told me a story about Gu Chen."

"What?" I asked.

"When they were first selected, they were asked to practice standing posture, but the instructor was delayed by something. When they came back, it was already dark, and all the students were resting. Only Gu Chen was still standing in a standard posture. There." Mary said while shaking her head: "You guys, a paranoid, a paranoid..."

Homeless people aren't the only ones sleeping in garbage ponds.

For five days in a row, there was no one. Gu Chen has eaten up all the compressed biscuits and mineral water hidden in the trash, so he applies for a shift change.

When Gu Chen came back, he looked thinner, and his whole body smelled bad. Gu Chen touched the rotten leaves on his hair, and said to us: "During the five days of monitoring, I didn't even see a dog, let alone a person. Except for the old lady who came to throw garbage every day. In addition, this garbage pool has basically been abandoned."

"You mean, in five days, no one came to throw out the garbage except that old lady?" I asked.

Gu Chen nodded and said, "That's right, I can assure you of this."

I took a few steps forward and walked to Gu Chen's side. Gu Chen was a little embarrassed by my behavior, Mary held her nose and said, "Wu Meng, what are you doing!"

I took something off Gu Chen's clothes, it was a bone.

To be precise, this is a rib.

"What kind of garbage does she throw away every day?" I asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked at me, then at the rib in my hand, and shook his head: "I don't know, I only pay attention to whether there are people coming, but I didn't pay attention to this point."

"Go." I waved my hand, "I'll take you to find Lin Shu."

"Do you know where Lin Shu is?" Gu Chen and Mary asked at the same time.

Li Cunzhuang, that tramp once told a very interesting thing. He said that during his years of wandering, he had eaten countless good things. The garbage cans in those high-end communities are filled with delicious food. Li Cunzhuang ate shark fin and abalone here.

The garbage thrown by a person may tell us a lot of things.

When we came to the old man's hut again, I didn't go in, but went straight to the garbage pond behind her house. There wasn't a lot of rubbish in the dumpster, and there was a man's foot under a large piece of rag. With a smile in my heart, I went straight up and stepped on this foot, and a familiar voice came out: "It hurts."

"I said that you are someone who follows Team Leader Shao, and your disguise is too bad." I said.

Xiao Liu got out from under the rags, looked at us blankly for a while, and then said: "It's you. I have only been here for a few minutes, and I haven't disguised myself yet. Is it easy for me? Besides, what's the matter?" Pretend, you can’t let me get into the garbage.”

As soon as this sentence was said, Xiao Liu shut up because he saw Gu Chen.

"Fortunately, there was no change of shift." Gu Chen said, "According to your method, someone would have discovered it long ago."

"Do you remember where the old lady threw the trash?" I said.

Gu Chen nodded, without any worries, he jumped directly into the garbage pool, and picked up a few bags of things. I shook out all the garbage inside, and saw all kinds of things slipping down like a waterfall, and then I started rummaging in the garbage. Finally, I found what I wanted, and at the same time, I was able to determine where Lin Shu was.

"Notify Team Leader Shao, prepare to arrest people." I said.

Everyone was puzzled, and Mary asked, "What the hell are you kidding?"

"I believe in my judgment. No matter how much Lin Shu was bullied back then, she never fought back. But grandma was just hit by a bottle, and Lin Shu killed her in pain." I looked at the rubbish all over the floor and said slowly: "He doesn't Probably left his grandma, and if he doesn't come back, it means he didn't leave."

"What I'm looking for now is proof that he didn't leave." I picked up a chicken bone from the trash.

"People will always change, not to mention you don't want to see what he does." Xiao Liu interrupted and said, "Six relatives don't recognize him."

Six relatives do not recognize

The police had surrounded the old man's hut, and the four of us visited the old man again. The old man was still sitting on the ground. When she saw us, she raised her head and laughed: "It's you."

Team Leader Shao sighed and motioned for me to speak.

I looked at the old man and said slowly, "Grandma, do you know why Lin Shu killed someone ten years ago?"

The old man seemed to be touched, and his body trembled slightly. After a long time, the old man said: "I don't know, that child seems to have changed since he was fifteen years old. Look at the palm of my hand, he chopped it off."

"You know." I said, "You know what kind of person your grandson is. You have lived together since childhood. You know Lin Shu's character. You must know Wang Liqun. If it wasn't Wang Liqun, no, if it wasn't you, your grandson Nothing will happen."

"You hate yourself. You are very sorry for why you picked up Wang Liqun's drink bottle that night. If you didn't take it, nothing will happen in the future." I walked slowly to the old man and said, "The reason is all yours." , so you cut off your own hand just to punish yourself."

When the old man heard my words, tears welled up in his eyes: "No, my grandson cut off my palm. Since then, he never came back."

The old man held back his tears and kept them from falling. There is a different kind of stubbornness on the wrinkled face.

"No, your palm must have been cut off by yourself." I said, "Your grandson is not left-handed, and your left hand was cut off. It can be inferred that you held him with your left hand, and he held a knife in his right hand. With one cut, the incision fell from the outside of your left wrist, so the wound must be deep on the outside and shallow on the left."

"But look at your wrist, it's just the opposite." I gently picked up the old man's stump: "Obviously, the inside of the wrist should be cut deeper, and there are protruding pieces of meat on the outside. Could it be that your grandson Did it hug you from behind, and then cut off your left hand? I think it is obviously impossible for such an action to happen at such a moment."

"This is after you finished telling the story, I started to doubt your doubts." I said: "So when I gave you the money, I deliberately spilled the coins, just to see if there was someone hiding under the bed, but unfortunately there was no one. But I found a few spoons and a few cigarette butts."

I smiled, and then continued: "You said that your grandson didn't come home for three years, which is obviously a lie. It's just that I didn't say it clearly at the time. If you are lying, then it can be concluded that you are doing it for Lin Shu. As a cover, your grandson will definitely come back."

Having said that, Mary finally understood why I insisted on having this hut monitored.

"You deliberately said this to us just to make us think that Lin Shu is a villain who doesn't recognize his relatives. The more cruel you tell Lin Shu, the safer he will be when he returns here. I always thought that Lin Shu would definitely come back. But I overlooked one point, when we came here, it was already two days after the accident, Lin Shu might have been back long ago."

"He didn't come back." The old man looked at me with cloudy eyes, pleading: "Really."

For such a moment, I even felt that it would be good to stop here. Why do I insist on causing an old man to lose her grandson, this is the only light in her life.

Sighing, I continued: "After figuring this out, Gu Chen came back with a suit of trash and reminded me. The tramp's words reminded me, maybe I can find some clues from your trash. A Chicken bones, that's the clue."

"Chicken bone?" Xiao Liu said, "What kind of clue is this?"

"It is impossible for an old man who has lost all his teeth to gnaw the chicken bones so clean. Moreover, it is impossible for a person who begs all day for a living to have meat." Team leader Shao continued my words and said: "This little boy Did you notice the details?"

I nodded and slowly helped the old man up.

Then I tapped the ground where the old man was sitting, hollow.

"You have a bed but you sit on the floor every day." I raised my voice: "Come out, after all, the only one you can rely on in the end is your grandma."
