Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng had a bad start, so they went to Lin's house to escape. Lin Ping'an's family lived in an alley. It was a small courtyard and an old hut with a brick face and earth walls on the back and sides.When Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng came to the gate of the courtyard, they found that the gate was locked and there was no one at home. Looking into the courtyard, the door is also locked, the small courtyard is very messy, it seems that it has not been tidied up for several days.Obviously, the sudden disaster made the family lose their interest in life. Lin Ping'an's autopsy has been cremated.So where is the family now?

Some of the neighbors on both sides poked their heads here, with vigilant and guarded eyes. When they saw Li Binliang clearly, their eyes changed, became curious, and talked about something.An old lady walked over slowly, looked Li Binliang up and down for a moment, and smiled: "Like, really like. You are from the Public Security Bureau, your surname is Li, and you are... the captain, right?!" Li Binliang understood what this curious old lady meant. They must have heard that she looked like Lin Ping'an, and knew that she was the leader of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau.He hastily explained: "Ma'am, I'm not the captain, I'm the instructor of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau!"

The old lady's toothless mouth grinned: "I don't know your official names, anyway, I know that you are the official who solves the case, you have the final say, right?" The old lady, as if on purpose, was jealous of what she said, which made Li Binliang even more embarrassed. Fortunately, the old lady changed the subject: "Hey, captain, the law and order in our city is too bad. You can't solve the case if you kill someone at your doorstep, but how do you let the common people live? I heard that they even killed you." ? You don't solve the case with the state salary, what are you doing for food..."

When the old lady said this, a few neighbors who were watching the fun came up and added fuel and vinegar: "Who says no, who dares to go out at night in the future? Such a big case can't be solved. The Public Security Bureau has What's the use..." This time, both Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng were embarrassed, but Hu Xuezheng turned his face to Li Binliang, which clearly meant: He is the leader of the Criminal Police Brigade, you have something to say to him!Li Binliang had no choice but to take the conversation away and said to the old lady: "Mother, we are here to solve the case. We have to investigate with Lin Pingan's family. Where did they go?".

It was the same old lady who stopped the noise of the crowd, and told Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng in a miserable voice: "Cough, don't mention it, this family is too miserable, the son was killed, how can a mother bear it? Passed out and sent to the hospital..." This is a large ward with eight beds. The hospitalized patients plus nursing staff are full of people.Opening the door, an unpleasant smell hits the face. Li Binliang thought that if he was hospitalized in such a ward, he would be lucky if his illness didn't get worse, and he still wanted to be cured? There were so many people in the ward that it was impossible to tell which was Lin Ping'an's mother's bed and which was Lin Ping'an's wife.While searching, he suddenly heard someone sobbing in the corner of the ward. Li Binliang raised his eyes and saw that it was Lin Ping'an's wife.

Li Binliang knew that his arrival touched her heart.The unconscious old lady on the bed beside her was obviously Lin Ping'an's mother.Beside the bed was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a dark complexion, a farmer's face, and a pair of dull eyes looking towards this side.Only the four or five-year-old girl didn't know what it meant to lose her father. She climbed up and down the bed when she saw Li Binliang stop and stared at him curiously. Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng walked to Lin Pingan's mother's bed.They first looked at the sleeping old lady.Lin Ping'an's wife stopped her tears and introduced the middle-aged man beside them to them.Li Binliang already knew him as Lin Ping'an's elder brother.He reluctantly smiled at Li Binliang, showing very obvious broken teeth.

The ward was too inconvenient, so Li Binliang invited Lin Ping'an's wife to the corridor and sat on a long wooden chair. Lin Ping'an's wife finally stopped sobbing, but she still didn't know anything about Li Binliang's question, which was similar to what she said in the first question: Lin Ping'an is a good person, has no enemies, and this kind of thing shouldn't happen... These are the words for ten minutes.Li Binliang didn't say anything, Hu Xuezheng whispered beside him: "This is weird, he has no enemies, so who killed him?!" Lin Ping'an's wife raised her tearful eyes to Hu Xuezheng and cried out, "Why are you talking like that? Don't I want to catch the murderer and avenge Ping An? But I really don't know anything, Ping An really has no enemies! "

Hu Xuezheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Binliang shaking his head, and then asked in a more gentle voice: "Don't worry, we are all asking you to solve the case and to avenge Lin Ping'an. Think again, since he There is no enemy, could it be that he offended someone outside when he was on a business trip? Was... killed by someone!" Regarding this point, Li Binliang himself felt that the possibility was too small, because long before Lin Ping'an came back, two similar cases had occurred in this city.However, this inadvertently uttered sentence also touched his own nerves: before the killer attacked him three days ago, he seemed to hear the whistle of the train arriving at the station, and Lin Pingan was killed at that time.This is obviously no coincidence.

Since it wasn't a coincidence, the killer knew that Lin Ping'an would come back at that time and ambushed there in advance.It's just that he met himself for the first time, but on the second time, he waited for Lin Ping'an very accurately and killed him. That is to say, the murderer knew that Lin Pingan must pass by that sidewalk at that time.How did he know? God! His breathing quickened: "Think about it again, after Lin Ping'an went on a business trip, did he tell you when he would be back?" Mrs. Lin was stunned: "No wow, every time he goes out, he is not sure, maybe when he will come back, but..." She paused, and said hesitantly: "He called home and said that he went out this time. It went well, signed a contract of 30,000 sacks, and could earn thousands of dollars in bonuses...By the way, although our family is poor, we still installed a phone in order to contact the business safely. He said on the phone that the first I came back in the second night, but I don’t know why I didn’t come back on time, and it wasn’t until three days later that..."

Lin Ping'an's wife couldn't speak anymore.Li Binliang's heart skipped a beat: "You mean, Lin Ping'an told you that he came back the day after the call. What day was that?" Lin Ping'an's wife: "Didn't I say it? It was three days before he was killed..." No wonder... It seems that Lin Ping'an's two return time killers have mastered the time, this... Li Binliang forced himself to calm down, and continued to ask in a gentle tone: "Did he call you later? He didn't say why he didn't come back on time?" Lin Ping'an's wife shook her head: "No, he didn't come back on time, and I was a little anxious, but he often does this, and I know he's a meticulous person, and he doesn't want to spend money on long-distance calls for nothing special, so I didn't take it to heart. , who would have thought that such a thing would happen!"

Hu Xuezheng had a quick brain reaction. He was listening to the doorway, and stepped forward to ask: "So, when you answered the phone, was there anyone else present? Did you tell outsiders after answering the phone?" Lin's wife shook her head: "I answered the phone at night, only family members, why tell others about this?" So, how did the killer know when Lin Ping'an returned? Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng looked at each other, and Li Binliang felt that Hu Xuezheng's breathing became short of breath. At this time, Lin Ping'an's brother came out of the ward and told his wife that the old lady had woken up. Lin's wife hurried back to the ward, and the old lady's miserable cry came from the ward: "Ping'an, my son, you Why leave mom alone..." Hearing this voice, Li Binliang's heart clenched tightly together, and he didn't dare to enter the ward anymore. He turned around and walked out of the hospital with Hu Xuezheng, but Lin Ping'an's brother stopped him and said in a voice of grief and pleading. : "Comrade, you must solve the case. You must catch the murderer and avenge my brother. Our buddies are poor and have no money to repay. I can only ask you to avenge my brother. I We can't forget you..." The man burst into tears as he spoke. Walking out of the hospital gate, Li Binliang found that Hu Xuezheng had suddenly disappeared, and hurriedly turned around to look for him, only to find him hiding by the doorpost and calling on his cell phone: "... I will report back to you for the specific situation..." Seeing Li Binliang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly closed the door. Picking up the phone, he barely calmed down and said, "Director Qin asked us to go back and report right away!" Li Binliang was very unhappy: Hu Xuezheng, no wonder Wu Zhishen has opinions on him. It seems that he has to be careful in the future... This report is too urgent. I should check it again and digest it. What can I have now? reported?Isn't that all? Li Binliang has developed a habit in college. When any problem occurs, he always analyzes and summarizes it on the basis of the known situation, and draws a preliminary conclusion.Therefore, on the way back to the game, after intense thinking, he came up with a conclusion: Since the killer knew the exact return time of Lin Pingan, he should be someone close to Lin Pingan.However, since he was attacked because the killer made a mistake, it also shows that the killer did not know the delayed return time of Lin Pingan. people.This creates a contradiction: the killer doesn't know how to separate himself, and it is impossible to be by Lin Ping'an's side and not be by Lin Ping'an's side at the same time. So, how about another inference?Yes, the killer is not one person, at least two or even more. My God, one killer is enough, could there be two, three... Although it is early summer, after reaching this conclusion, Li Binliang felt a chill hit him.
