Chapter 25 Section Fourteen

After that, I didn't take care of this case anymore, but about a week later, Xiao Feng knocked on my office door again—— "Why," I asked Xiao Feng with a smile, "is there any new discovery in the case? Or is the investigation confirmed some of my suspicions?" After looking at me for a while, Xiao Feng said to me with a strange attitude: "Yes, Guo Detachment. Your previous suspicions are all confirmed. It's true. There is indeed a ghost in their family!" "Oh?" I looked at Xiao Feng's expression with great interest, and then smiled again, "But it's a pity, it doesn't help much to solve the case, does it?"

"Yes, Team Guo, you guessed it right again." "Oh--" "Yes—" Xiao Feng replied with a sad face, "They have all been ruled out, and we need to identify new suspects." Next, Xiao Feng told me that after investigation, Ms. Xiao Zhang and Zhang Yubao did have a booster to get divorced so quickly, and the "booster" is also the most common situation in life—Ms. love it. This new "love" is a "sea turtle" who has just returned from abroad. Although many "sea turtles" have become "kelp" and the signs are no longer so bright and eye-catching, no matter how bad it is, it will not Will not be as good as Zhang Yubao.What's more, the kind of "sea turtle" who is not short-term gold-plated, but earns a prestigious university degree in a solid manner, still has considerable gold content.

Although I don't know what this "returnee" is capable of, but the degree he got is genuine and has a lot of weight.And the instrumentation is said to be not bad either. In the era of knowledge economy, knowledge is wealth, so although this "Mr. Turtle" has no money like Zhang Yubao, Zhang Yubao is worthless in other aspects. However, according to the investigation, this sudden situation was not all an accident in life, it was Mrs. Zhang who mobilized the whole family to search for it.At a deliberately arranged party, Ms. Zhang really fell in love with that "Mr. Turtle" at first sight.Coupled with the relentless belittling of her current husband, "Sage of Love" Zhang Yubao by the whole family and the nanny, Ms. Zhang regained the courage to defend "love" before marriage—only this time she decided to defend "love" with another man. love".

As for my other doubt - the answer to Mrs. Zhang's "superstition" has also been solved.In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. The idea is similar to the meaning of "congratulations" for a seriously ill son to marry a wife as soon as possible in the past.Mrs. Zhang saw that her youngest daughter was "involved" in this matter for a while, so she might not be satisfied with this future son-in-law, but there was no other suitable single man to introduce to her youngest daughter for comparison, and the more you blocked her, the younger daughter became more and more... She wanted to get married, so the old lady, who had seen countless people in her life and was quite insightful about human nature, simply gave up. She turned around and thought secretly: Maybe if she really got married, it could bring her daughter a "good luck" turn.

Unexpectedly, this is really the case. I have been meeting and meeting, either I look down on others, or they look down on her. Ms. Xiao Zhang, who has been "high or low" for thirty-four years, has not been married for a long time. Finally, a "Mr. Turtle" who is suitable in all aspects unexpectedly appeared, and Ms. Xiao Zhang fell in love with him at first sight! But despite this, according to the investigation, this "Mr. Turtle" should have nothing to do with the murder. Because from the very beginning of the conversation, Xiao Feng discovered that this "Mr. Sea Turtle" had no intention of falling in love with Ms. Xiao Zhang at first sight. Although it cannot be said that he rejected Ms. Xiao Zhang's enthusiasm, he was also very calm and distant. Don't take the initiative, don't refuse", the kind of attitude of dating first and then talking, probably like women with Ms. Xiao Zhang's vision, so "Mr. Turtle", who has no shortage of choices, becomes more calm.In addition, Xiao Feng feels that "Mr. Turtle" is not only impossible to kill for Ms. Zhang, but he may not even know about it, because when he heard that Ms. Zhang's husband died unexpectedly, "Mr. Turtle" was horrified at first. , and then almost directly asked whether Ms. Zhang's family had anything to do with the murder, revealing that if there was, they would immediately draw a line.

Later, after further investigation, the possibility of "Mr. Sea Turtle" committing the crime was ruled out in terms of time, because "Mr. Sea Turtle" was away on business trips a few days before and after the incident, and he had sufficient and definite alibi.At the same time, the body is also ruled out. "Mr. Sea Turtle" is 1.71 meters tall, which is not very short, but his feet are very small. He usually wears size 39 shoes. All this information makes us have to rule out this theoretically important suspect. In addition, with regard to Zhang Yubao's departure, the women of the Zhang family really did something tricky, and they did indeed use the means of buying "murder", and this "murder" was indeed the nanny's fellow villager.

But unfortunately, it was confirmed that the nanny's fellow countryman just frightened Zhang Yubao, and did nothing. Moreover, this person was only 1.7 meters tall, and his footprints did not match. They were 40 yards. So far, the Zhang family finally admitted that they hired this person to frighten Zhang Yubao, so as to make Zhang Yubao unconditionally agree to divorce.But at the same time, he emphasized that he did not dare to say that he was afraid of misunderstanding by the police, but he never hired murderers to kill Zhang Yubao.Because Zhang Yubao, who was going to open his mouth like a lion, finally understood that "women" are not the same as "women" after experiencing some counter-intimidation, especially in this family with a matrilineal clan like a female leader, these "women" have already They were not the "women" he had met before, so not long before the incident, Zhang Yubao had agreed to go through the divorce procedures unconditionally.Therefore, they really can't commit murder.

All doubts have been explained, but unfortunately it only proves that they have nothing to do with the case. Now we can only start from scratch. Looking at Xiao Feng with red eyes, I knew he must be exhausted during this period of time, but there was nothing I could do, that's how criminal police work. "Is there a new policy now?" I asked. "It's fixed," Xiaofeng replied depressedly, "Hu team asked us to investigate one by one according to the call records of the deceased before his death. You don't know, that 'Love Saint' has contacted at least forty women during this period. In the phone book we found from his residence, I think he has contacted all the women he has been in contact with in the past three to five years."

I nod. "Guo detachment," Xiao Feng said to me with a slightly sad face, but also with a little hope, "Do you think it is possible that the woman killed it? The woman you heard the voice from?" Glancing at Xiao Feng, I asked, "Did you tell Team Hu about this?" "Reported." "What did Team Hu say?" "Hu team said maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but the key point is that Guo team didn't see the woman's face at all, and there was no identity information about the woman in the conversation, so it's impossible to be sure. So it's useless to say these things now, the case is still We can only check the people who were in contact with the deceased one by one from the phone contact information, find out who is suspicious, and then check further."

I nodded after listening: "Captain Hu is right." "But," Xiao Feng argued, "I hope you can go and listen to Team Guo during the investigation, maybe you can hear the woman's voice." "Oh!" I thought for a while and asked, "Did you tell Captain Hu about this suggestion?" "I said it, but Captain Hu said that I was opportunistic and did not do things solidly. It is definitely not possible to solve the case like this." Speaking of this, Xiao Feng showed a special dissatisfaction on his face. "What? Do you have any objections?"

"Yes." Xiao Feng replied, hesitating for a while, and then summoned up his courage to say, "I think Team Hu's solution to the case is solid, but it is too tiring and too slow. I have seen the cases that Team Hu solved before, and they all That's it. Captain Hu, it seems, seems to be particularly tired of solving cases with skill." "So, about this case, Xiao Feng, do you have some clever ideas that are different from Team Hu's?" "Yes. I would like to ask Team Guo to listen to the voices of those women. I think based on the probability, although the first woman who comes may not be the woman in the woods, it may not be the last one, right? Most of them can be heard in the middle, so solving the case like this must be faster than going through the whole investigation, right?" I nodded: "Any other ideas?" "temporarily unavailable." "Oh!" I nodded again, then shook my head again: "Xiao Feng, if you only think about this point, I'm afraid I have to say that Team Hu's criticism of you is not wrong at all. You are indeed opportunistic. I can tell you that your method is not 'ingenious', but 'Take it for granted'." Xiao Feng didn't speak, but some dissatisfaction appeared on his face. "Let me tell you," I explained, "if you follow Team Hu's method, it looks stupid, but the investigation is comprehensive and in-depth. Once you feel someone is more suspicious, you can go further. There must be many other evidences to support it. For example, some time before the crime, the person who bought the murderer usually had a large amount of expenditure in the bank account; for example, he had frequent contact with a man who was similar in height to the murderer, etc. etc. After the verification is confirmed, no matter whether you can hear the murderer’s voice or not, you will find the murderer, right? Now look back at your idea of ​​solving the case and think about it yourself. Have you unconsciously set the second premise—— First, the woman in the woods must be the murderer; second, I must be able to hear that woman's voice again. But these two premises are not to say completely wrong, at least they are very one-sided, don't you think? " Xiao Feng was stunned, and in his daze, I continued: "First of all, assuming that I can hear the woman's voice, but after further investigation, it turns out that the woman is not the murderer. Have you ever thought that this means that all the previous work is in vain! Because according to your thinking, the following The focus is only on listening to whose voice, and other considerations and investigations are not considered. Once you overthrow and start over, all the work will have to be done again. Isn’t it more time-consuming? Let’s look at the second point. Regarding listening to voices, your method should be It all depends on my ears, and I think I must be able to hear the woman's voice, but I have not received professional hearing training, nor do I have a special talent for hearing and memory. It has been more than a year, and it is very likely that I will not be able to hear it at all, especially If you want to listen to so many women one after another, you may forget the original voice feeling more and more. If I can’t hear it anyway, it’s also a waste of effort? So—” After a pause, I emphasized a little more: "Don't think that Dui Hu is a stupid method. The 'smart' based on assumptions is not 'smart' at all, and he will only 'haste makes waste' in solving cases. In fact, Hu Dui is very experienced. He has such a way of solving cases. It's because he knows very well that for such a case, only by using this seemingly stupid method of 'step by step' can it be possible to solve the case as quickly as possible." After listening to my criticism, Xiao Feng sat for a while with his head down in frustration, then stood up and said: "Guo Detachment, I know I was wrong, I'll go back to work right away." Looking at Xiao Feng's drooping head, I smiled and said: "Don't be so frustrated, I criticize you because you take it for granted, but your ideas are not completely unreasonable, in fact, combine your ideas with Team Hu—" I didn't finish, but Xiao Feng understood, but because he had just been criticized, he dared to ask in a tone of uncertainty: "Guo Detachment, what do you mean—" "First of all, we must conduct a solid and serious investigation in accordance with Team Hu's policy, and then—" I replied with a smile, "I will also listen to the voices of those women, and use two prongs to see if it can help solve the case as soon as possible."
