Since it was not a murder for money, could it be a vendetta? And with whom did the Lao Lin family form such a hatred that they would not stop until they killed someone?

First of all, Lin Yu is just a seven-year-old child, and the possibility of making enemies with others is almost zero; Grandma is a standard rural woman, who usually does her duty and rarely even quarrels with others.

Through his understanding of the villagers, Zhang Tao quickly focused his investigation on Lao Lin. Lao Lin had a violent and stubborn personality, and when he was young, he had been working in other places until he retired and returned to live in the village.

In addition, the bloodstains at the scene were wiped and covered up by the murderer. He even locked the doors and windows before leaving, creating the illusion that the grandfather and grandson were out. This also shows that the murderer is thoughtful and has a certain degree of counter-investigation.

ability.

At the same time, after analysis, it was determined that the possibility of the murderer being an acquaintance was high. Because if it was a stranger who committed the crime, he would have taken the time to escape from the crime scene immediately after committing the crime, without having to deal with it in such a troublesome manner.

The corpse did not dare to stay at Lao Lin's house for a long time.

Dealing with the traces of the crime. And more importantly, why did the murderer spend so much time dealing with the scene? Also, while killing the two elderly people, he did not even spare the seven-year-old child? There is only one possibility.

It's because Lin Yu knew the murderer himself, and the murderer was afraid that Lin Yu would reveal his identity.

Zhang Tao dispatched manpower to conduct large-scale visits and investigations in the village and neighboring villages, focusing on people who had conflicts with Lao Lin. The results of the investigation showed that Lao Lin had conflicts with most people in the village, and the most acute ones were

, that is Lin Wei, a relative of Lao Lin.

The police learned that the conflict between the two intensified repeatedly, mainly because they had fought over an osmanthus tree on their ancestral grave many years ago.

This sweet-scented osmanthus tree was originally planted by Lin Wei, but Lao Lin believed that since it grew on the ancestral grave, it belonged to everyone. In the past few years, the price of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree had increased repeatedly, so Lao Lin did not notify Lin Wei.

They dug up the sweet-scented osmanthus tree privately and sold it in the market. Lin Wei refused. From then on, the two of them had a bad relationship. Even when Lin Wei celebrated his 60th birthday, Lao Lin did not attend it.

.

Moreover, the village also reported that Lin Wei once cursed Lao Lin's family, and the family would not die well. Lao Lin also told acquaintances in the village more than once that if something happened to him one day, it would be Lin Wei's fault.

of!

So, Zhang Tao asked someone to find Lin Wei. Lin Wei was a tall and rough farm boy. Although he was over sixty years old, at first glance, he seemed to be someone who was prone to getting into trouble.

"Did you know that three members of your relative Lin Yu's family have disappeared?" Zhang Tao did not dare to be careless at all this time and interrogated him personally.

"I know." Lin Wei didn't show any panic.

"How did you know about the disappearance of Lao Lin's family?"

"My wife told me." Lin Wei answered fluently without thinking at all. It looked like he was well prepared.

"Then how did your wife know?" Zhang Tao's question made Lin Wei feel a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that he did not expect Zhang Tao to ask this question.

"It was Mrs. Lin who lived next to Old Lin's house in the village who told her." Lin Wei was stunned for a moment before answering.

After all, Zhang Tao is a person with many years of experience in handling cases. This change in Lin Wei's answer to the question did not escape his eyes.

Zhang Tao called his criminal police officers and asked them to go to Mrs. Lin, who Lin Wei said, to understand the specific situation. The investigation results of the criminal police confirmed Zhang Tao's idea - according to Lin Wei, it was Mrs. Lin who beat his wife.

He called him and said that the old Lin family was missing. His wife told him when she found out. However, the criminal police who went to learn about the situation came back and reported the situation, which was completely different from Lin Wei’s statement!

The criminal police found Mrs. Lin to learn about the situation. Mrs. Lin actually said that she did not know Lin Wei's wife's phone number, and it was even more impossible to call her and tell her about the disappearance of the old Lin family. To be on the safe side, the criminal police also asked

Mrs. Lin's husband also confirmed that he had never told Lin Wei about the disappearance of the old Lin family.

Why did Lin Wei lie? It means there is something wrong with him! He got something as soon as he took action, which made Zhang Tao excited all of a sudden.

"Lin Wei, where were you on the day of the incident?" Lin Wei was interrogated again. Zhang Tao had already determined that Lin Wei was lying and wanted to hide something.

"Is it the 28th? I was watching Ergouzi and the others playing cards at the end of the village." Lin Wei actually remembered the day of the crime so clearly. It was obvious that he had already thought about how to answer.

Zhang Tao looked at this old man with gray hair. He actually didn't want to believe that he would brutally kill all three of Lao Lin's family just to accumulate grudges. However, this man's answer was too suspicious.

So, he once again sent the criminal police to find Er Gouzi and asked whether Lin Wei was watching them play cards at the end of the village on the 28th. Er Gouzi thought for a while and said that they were not there at all on the 28th.

They were playing cards at the entrance of the village. He remembered clearly that the specific time of the card playing was on the 27th. Lin Wei was indeed present to watch them play cards that day, and even got into a quarrel with him for interrupting.

At the same time, Zhang Tao found traces of scratches from branches on Lin Wei's hands. There were thorns outside the cave. The murderer wanted to hide the body in the cave. It was inevitable to be scratched by thorns. Lin Wei's response

The explanation was that he accidentally scratched it while cutting firewood in the field.

Lin Wei lied again and again, and the suspicion grew bigger and bigger, so Zhang Tao had to list him as the first suspect. However, unfortunately, no direct evidence was found at the crime scene.

Evidence pointing to the criminal suspect, Lin Wei.

So, Zhang Tao once again found the forensic doctor and further examined the corpses of the grandfather and grandson, hoping to find some clues. However, it was a pity that the forensic doctor still could not extract anything that could connect the bodies of the grandfather and grandson.

Evidence of the suspect Lin Wei's crime.

The investigation work stalled here. Although Lin Wei was taken into custody as the biggest suspect, there was no direct evidence that could prove his crime of murder and dumping the body.

While Zhang Tao's criminal police team was investigating, Lin Jinghao and his party also launched an investigation. The direction of their investigation was the same as that of Zhang Tao's criminal police team, because he was also definitely more likely to be an acquaintance who committed the crime.

However, after investigation by the police, it was found that besides Lin Wei, there were more than 20 people who had serious conflicts with Lao Lin. Moreover, the conflicts between these people and Lao Lin seemed to be sharp, but they had to use this to kill people. Even, they had to

It seemed unreasonable to kill Lao Lin and his family. Moreover, after some questioning, the more than twenty subjects under investigation were able to provide proof that they did not have the time and place to commit the crime.

‘Could it be that the idea of ​​​​the investigation is wrong!’ After learning that Zhang Tao’s criminal police team had no definite evidence, Lin Jinghao called Pei Feng and others together again.

"Do you think there are any problems with our thinking?" Lin Jinghao asked first. He hoped to work together to broaden his thinking.

"Lin Suo, I investigated the cave where the body was dumped. According to the old people in the village, this cave used to be exposed on the hillside, and it was only covered by thorns in the past 20 or 30 years. If it weren't for the people in the village,

, it is impossible to know. Moreover, only people over thirty years old are likely to be familiar with that place." Pei Feng spoke first, but his speech once again showed that their direction was not wrong.

"Actually, I have been thinking about a question. Why did the police dog of the criminal police team take a trip to the west and then return to the crime scene?" Gu Qing's detective mind discovered, and her question made everyone silent.

Got up.

"Do you think the murderer originally wanted to transport the bodies of the three of them to another place and dump them? Who knew that halfway through, he suddenly remembered that there was a cave on the other side that no one knew about, and then, he

Came back again?" Dashu was the first to express his judgment.

"It's also possible that there was a problem with the vehicle he used to transport the body, so he had no choice but to walk back." Pei Feng then said another possibility.

"You're right. Judging from the distance the murderer walked, it's impossible for him to carry three people away by himself. He will definitely use some form of transportation. We should start with transportation." Lin Jinghao suddenly had an idea. Since he started from

According to the investigators, there is no progress, so why not change the direction of the breakthrough?

"Lin is right, we should start with transportation." Gu Qing agreed.

"What kind of transportation will it be? A car is unlikely..." Lin Jinghao muttered to himself, he was completely lost in his own thoughts.

"Why is a car impossible?" Dashu was a little confused.

"When you first drive a car, do you choose a fast road or a slow road? Also, if you are driving a car and want to avoid crowds and choose a small road, you should leave tire marks, and that

A small road, just big enough for a car to pass. Once in

If the road is blocked, or if he accidentally falls into a ditch next to him, it will be difficult for him to complete the act of dumping the body. And, the most important point is that in terms of the route searched by the police dog, it is necessary to drive the car halfway and then start again.

The road back seems impossible for a murderer who hurriedly dumps the body."

"Also, have you noticed that the time when the murderer committed the crime was not very late. What you can't remember is that when we went to the scene of the crime that day, although the murderer had cleaned up the traces and closed the doors and windows, there was still food on the table.

, but did not put it away. Also, the quilt for sleeping in the room was not opened. This all shows that the murderer went to his old house at that time.

When he went to the Lin family, it should have been when they were having dinner. And when he killed someone at this time, he chose to take a small road to dump the body. It must have been because there were few people walking on the small road. Therefore, he transported the body.

When he was traveling, his vehicle should have exposed the body to the outside, rather than putting the body completely inside the carriage."
