After all, I looked at two people. Gu Chen and Guan Zengbin also looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't notice these details.
"What is a USB to COM port?" Gu Chen scratched his head and asked.
I explained: "It is a USB port to a network port used on the computer. This is the port used by old-fashioned computers and printers, and it is not seen now. Having a USB port at least means that there should be a computer or a computer. Mobile phones. Although I haven't been to other rooms, from the old man's words, we can know that the old lady doesn't have these things."
I looked back at the dilapidated wooden door, pulled my hair and said, "So there are two explanations. The grandma lied. He did have these devices, but she lied. The grandma didn't have a mobile phone or a computer. It was someone else's accident. fell in."
"It makes sense." Gu Chen said.
I stretched out a finger and shook it, and said: "The problem is that I asked the old lady if any relatives and friends came, but her answer was no. She said that no one in her house has been there for a long time. But , which contradicts the above statement.”
Guan Zengbin opened his mouth and analyzed: "That is to say, either someone has been to the grandmother's house and pulled the line, or the grandmother has a computer or mobile phone at home."
I snapped my fingers and said, "So, no matter what the situation is, this old man is lying to us."
"But why?" Guan Zengbin asked.
I shook my head and said as I walked out: "This is not clear yet, but I think it must have something to do with the case. How can it be such a coincidence that the old grandma's brother's family of three happened to be facing the chickens, dogs, and pigs?" The zodiac, it seems that the three members of this family are going to be killed."
Guan Zengbin said suspiciously: "But even if this family of three is a zodiac sign, the question is, will the murderer know this? The question is, will the murderer want to kill these three people? Not to mention whether the murderer will be in the next story Killing three people at once, even so, is it hard to find a family of three whose zodiac signs are chickens and pigs?"
Having said this, Guan Zengbin paused and said, "Aren't the three of us the same?"
"Then why does Xiao Liu think that the murderer will definitely kill the family of three?" I said, "It must not be that simple. Xiao Liu must have some clues that we don't know."
"Then the murderer, will he go?" Gu Chen looked up at the darkened sky.
I also raised my head, looking at the gray sky, there seemed to be a feeling of black clouds overwhelming the city. After looking at it for a long time, I seemed to feel that the sky was about to press down, making people breathless.
Guan Zengbin also looked at the sky, but he said, "However, whether the murderer is multiple or single has nothing to do with who the murderer wants to kill."
Guan Zengbin's words hit the nail on the head. No matter how many murderers there are, it doesn't matter whether there is a division of labor and cooperation with clear responsibilities. Who the murderer wants to kill has already been set. In Xiao Liu's prediction, after one murderer was caught, the rest of the murderers would naturally be caught.
"Do you want to take a look?" Guan Zengbin asked.
I shook my head and said, "It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's about nine o'clock when I get back to the city. At that time, I think the fourth story will appear on the Internet. If the murderer wants to kill For that family of three, Xiao Liu has already prepared, so it doesn’t matter whether we go or not. But if it’s not that family of three who are going to be killed, we only have one afternoon to investigate clearly.”
"And." We came to the car, and I said: "Since we already know that this old man is lying, those who lie are people with a purpose, but in conclusion, it is nothing more than to cover up the truth of the matter. There is no one at all. It is necessary to lie about something that she thinks is unimportant, but once a person lies, whether intentionally or unintentionally, her subconscious mind has already made a judgment for her."
I got in the car and said: "If this matter is really related to this old lady, tonight is the night when the murderer is going to kill someone. I think this old lady will do something. Those twelve bowls are only available today. We found four, and the rest of the bowls are now unknown, and I don’t know if there will be any clues on the rest of the bowls.”
Gu Chen got into the car, did not start the car, but said: "Then what should we do now?"
I thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Find the village chief, we will live in the village, of course, we must not disturb the old lady. If we are here, she will be a hundred times more cautious than usual. So make a Leave the illusion, and then observe in secret."
Guan Zengbin patted the car door lightly, and then said lightly: "However, I still don't quite believe it. What can this old lady do? Can she still collude with the murderer?"
I looked at Guan Zengbin and knew that although Guan Zengbin looked cold on the outside and looked like a woman, he was actually very soft, always moved by various things, and always felt that those who looked better The real ones are good people. But in fact, I only hate that people's hearts are not as good as water, and wait for waves to rise on the ground.
Looking at Guan Zengbin's expression, I sighed and said, "Of course the murderer can't be this old lady's, but the problem is, if she doesn't know the situation and has nothing to do with her, there is absolutely no need to lie. This shows that even if she Did not collude with the killer and must have lied to us about something."
"But why did she do that?" Guan Zengbin asked again.
I said, "Well, that's what we're going to investigate."
We called Sister Mary and asked her to contact the head of Xingdong Village, and she gave us an answer within half an hour. We parked the car in the yard of the village head, and then explained the whole story to the village head, and the village head said that he would cooperate with us.
The group sat in the yard, the wife of the village head cooked for us, and we chatted without saying a word.
After a few simple greetings, I didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Actually, we are here for business this time. You are the village chief, so I don't have to hide it from you. The murder case has been investigated so far, and it is found that the bowl of the Chinese zodiac made by the murderous Moulin Rouge seems to have great significance to the murderer."
"What?" The village head seemed to have no impression of the Moulin Rouge I was talking about, and asked suspiciously.
I frowned. The village head is also fifty years old. The Moulin Rouge factory should know about it, but it seems that the village head doesn't know. At this time, I suddenly thought of something. Sister Mary only said that this was the address of one of them, but she never said that the Moulin Rouge factory was near this village.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked the village chief, "It's the one named Wu Xiufen in your village. She wasn't from your village a few decades ago? There wasn't a small bowl maker named Moulin Rouge in Xingdong Village decades ago." factory?"
"No." The village chief shook his head, handed Gu Chen and me a cigarette, and said, "I really don't have that. I've lived in this village since I was a child, and I've never heard of a Moulin Rouge workshop. That's for sure. It can’t be wrong. I’m in my fifties this year, and if it’s said that it went bankrupt fifty years ago, my parents should know, I’ve never heard of it, no.”
When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt something flashed in my mind, but I couldn't grasp what it was.
I continued to ask: "If this is the case, then Wu Xiufen is not from your village, right? Wu Xiufen moved here later?"
"Yes." The village head nodded, and said while smoking a cigarette: "This Wu Xiufen is from our village, after all, she married here. It was probably more than 30 years ago, Wu Xiufen. Xiufen married here. My father was the village chief back then, and I went to participate.”
Having said this, the village head let out a "huh" and then said, "Do you suspect Wu Xiufen?"
I shook my head, lit a cigarette, and said, "It's not that I suspect Wu Xiufen, it's just that we found out that Wu Xiufen was the glazer in the Moulin Rouge back then, so we wanted to ask about it."
The village chief gave a hum, and then said: "But speaking of it, when I got married back then, it was indeed a bit of a sensation in our village."
"Sensation?" I asked.
The village chief nodded, and slowly told me: "Yes, it was quite a sensation back then. Because Wu Xiufen is relatively rich compared to our village. Of course, we outsiders didn't ask What does the family do? But when she got married, she came alone, without relatives, and when the wedding was held, there were only people from our village and no natal family. You think it's strange enough."
I nodded. It seems that after Wu Xiufen's father died, the relationship between her and her brother was indeed not very good.
"Besides, this Wu Xiufen was pretty when she was young." The village chief said while smoking a cigarette, "If you want to say that you are rich and beautiful, you can find a young man in the city. Besides, even if you want If you look in the village, you can find someone with good conditions. But it's strange that Wu Xiufen wants to marry someone from our village."
"Why?" I was a little curious, and asked, "Who are you going to marry, why is it so strange?"
The village chief coughed, looked up to the sky, and looked around, as if he was looking at something: "Although it is not good to say that a dead person is like this, we are also cooperating with the case, and we are telling the truth. , I hope to forgive you."
Looking at the words in the village chief's mouth, I felt that my side was also hairy, as if someone was looking at me in the distance that was gradually darkening.
"What's the matter?" Gu Chen couldn't help asking at this moment.
