Although Pashtina is known as the city that never sleeps, those entertainment venues are not on the main roads.
Therefore, when Zhao Yu was speeding on the highway in Jacka's Land Rover, the streets on both sides still seemed a little deserted.
"This man is selling newspapers now," Jieka's eyes widened, looking particularly excited. "He and Eureka are distant relatives, and he is his sister-in-law's second uncle. Even though the relationship is a bit distant, Eureka often goes there. I buy newspapers from him, and I am very familiar with him... "
"Hey, I can't figure out these relationships, so let's focus on the key points!" Because the thing happened suddenly, Zhao Yu still didn't know what happened until now
"This old man's name is Xie Ranfu. He is almost 70 this year. He has been selling newspapers before Kosovia became independent!" Jaka introduced excitedly, "This man once lived in an air-raid shelter, and it was the one near the Old Palace!
"When we were chatting before, he once talked about the air-raid shelter with Yurika, so Yurika thought of him immediately!"
"Then what? Let's get to the point!" Zhao Yu was so anxious that his cheeks were bulging and he was about to go crazy.
"I didn't expect that Xie Lanfu actually remembered something after seeing that wallet!" Jaka said excitedly, "Maybe it's because he bought a newspaper. He has always been particularly interested in the news.
“He could clearly remember that in the winter of 1995, one day after the bombing, something happened on the ruins of the Old Palace, and that incident happened to be related to this wallet!
"He said that at that time, the Northwest Allied Forces bombed Pashtina for several days, killing many people, and even those hiding in air-raid shelters were not safe...
“After the bombing, the entire Pashtina was turned into ruins, dead people were everywhere on the streets, and the scene was extremely tragic.
"At that time, an inevitable thing happened. Since there were dead people everywhere, it was inevitable that some survivors would covet the wealth of the dead, so they would risk the war to pick up the relics of the dead and transfer valuable things to them. Take it as your own.
“As a result, people’s hearts are even more distracted, and some people are even taking action to rob property, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
"So, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the Kosovia army issued a temporary decree to the people. Anyone who takes advantage of the war to rob or steal other people's property will be shot in public!!!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu had never experienced a war and never knew that there was such a strict law.
"Although the law is cruel, it is the last resort of the rulers. If it is prohibited without torture, it will have an immeasurable impact on the entire war!
"To be honest, I have also experienced that period, and I have to say that after the decree was promulgated, it did have a certain effect." Jaka said, "The people no longer fantasize about obtaining other people's property, but the soldiers are more strict with themselves and concentrate on their work. fighting…
"However, the laws are strict, but not everyone can abide by them. There are still some people who will opportunistically violate the laws.
"And what Xie Lanfu is talking about is probably the original motive for the wallet murder case!"
"Could it be that the murderer's relatives were shot by soldiers for stealing things!?" Zhao Yu had already guessed something, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish.
"Xie Lanfu said that it was one morning when he heard the noise from the air-raid shelter and ran out to watch the excitement.
"It turns out that the patrol soldiers caught several criminals who violated the law and picked up other people's property without permission, and among the criminals, there was a little boy!!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was startled and suddenly felt ominous.
“According to Xie Ranfu,” Jecka continued, “the child was only five or six years old at the time, and lived in the same air-raid shelter as him. Not only had he met him before, but he had also spoken to him.
“The child was caught by the patrol because he picked up a valuable wallet from a dead man.
“At that time, when the confession was being made, Xie Lanfu saw with his own eyes that the wallet appeared in the little boy’s hand!
"Because of the special style of that wallet, Xie Lanfu can still remember it even though it was more than 20 years ago. He is very sure that the wallet is exactly the same as the wallet in the wallet murder case!"
"So..." Zhao Yu's voice gradually weakened, "What happened next?"
"People originally thought that the law belongs to the law, but he was just a very young child, so he couldn't handle it like an adult, right? But..." Jieka's voice also changed a bit, "It happened to be on patrol at that time. It is said that It is the inspection team of the army headquarters that accompanies the general during the inspection, so... "
"Oh my God!" Zhao Yu was stunned. "Just because a general was inspecting, they shot a 6-year-old boy in the street!?"
"Well..." Jacka hesitated and murmured, "This is war! War does not distinguish between men, women, old and young, and there is no fairness in itself..."
"And the inspecting general..." Zhao Yu said, "It couldn't be..."
"Yes!" Jacka nodded, "That's General Wilkron! Xie Ranfu can prove this."
"Holy crap!" Zhao Yu patted the car, his chest heaving violently, "If that's the case, then the gendarmerie captain was the patrol soldier who caught or shot the little boy?"
"It's not clear yet..." Jieka replied, "Eureka is asking, but Xie Lanfu doesn't know who caught the little boy, and he can't remember who executed the execution in the end
"He said he thought the execution scene was too cruel, so he didn't watch it!"
"Isn't that right?" Zhao Yu frowned, "Since this is the motive for murder? What happened to the painter? In 1995, the painter was only 8 years old. What crime did he commit?"
"I don't know, but I think..." Jaka said, "The painter should have tipped off the soldiers, so the soldiers caught the little boy, right?"
"So, now the murderer of the wallet murder case..." Zhao Yu pondered, "Is he a relative of this little boy? This makes it clear that he wants to avenge the little boy!"
"Xie Lanfu said," Jakayan said, "He once saw a little boy living with a young man in an air-raid shelter.
“It should be either the little boy’s father or his brother!
"However, when the little boy was executed, for some unknown reason, the man did not appear...
"So, that man is most likely the real culprit in the wallet murder case!!!"
"No wonder..." Zhao Yu said with emotion, "The murderer has so much resentment. This matter..."
In an instant, Zhao Yu fell into an unspeakable tangle. It has been a long time since he hesitated or wavered because of the value of the case.
At this moment, the Land Rover had stopped in front of a newsstand, but Jecca's subordinate Yurika was asking something to an old man with gray hair in the newsstand.
There is no doubt that this old man is the newspaper seller Xie Lanfu.
The security windows of the newsstand were closed, and the old man was wearing pajamas. Unexpectedly, the old man not only sold newspapers at the newsstand, but even lived in the newsstand.
"I only said a few words to him." When Zhao Yu and Jieka got off the car, they immediately heard the old man's voice, "Of course I don't know his name!
"Back then, there were plane bombings and artillery shells exploding every day. We didn't know who would survive to the next day, so how could we care about anything else..."
