"I got it, I got it." A woman's voice with a Western Sichuan dialect came from Fan Dehua's phone. "You little brat, you don't even remember this …"
"I don't know sh * t," Fan Dehua urged. "Woman, tell me quickly. Is there such a brother in my family?"
It turned out that this woman was Fan Dehua's ex-wife, who had been divorced for many years.
However, although she was just an outsider, she was a top notch gossip. Any gossip between relatives and friends couldn't escape her grasp.
Therefore, Fan Dehua really had no choice but to bite the bullet and call her.
He didn't expect that as soon as he explained the situation, his ex-wife would give him a positive answer.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even settled the matter with you yet!" The woman complained. "He didn't take the right path today, and it's all because of you …"
"Hurry up, woman, I really have something important to tell you …" Fan Dehua was so anxious that his face turned red. He then shouted a bunch of local dialects, which even Zhao Yu couldn't understand.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you …" Fan Dehua's ex-wife couldn't hold on any longer, so she finally said angrily, "Did you forget that in Luolong County, you have an uncle and brother whose whole family disappeared?"
"Luolong? Who? "Fan Dehua still couldn't remember.
"Aiyo … Let me tell you …" The woman sped up. "Your uncle has a second brother. When he was young, he was adopted by your third grandpa's second uncle. Although they both have the surname Fan, he's not your uncle anymore. Do you know that?"
"…"
After hearing this, Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, and even Fan Dehua looked at each other in silence.
"Aiyo, you might have forgotten," the woman continued, "When your uncle went to Sichuan to make a living, he passed one of his children to the childless second uncle on your third grandpa's side in order to keep his family alive!
"When we got married, his family came to give us a gift! It was like a cabbage … "
"He is about 20 years older than you, and his son is not much younger than you …"
Son …
Zhao Yu quickly understood Fan Dehua's ex-wife's words. Although it sounded vague, he felt that he was close to the end.
"Then tell me, how did his family go missing?" Fan Dehua urged.
"It's not really a disappearance. I heard …" the woman said, "It's to avoid debts. His whole family moved away and ran away!"
"Ran away?" Fan Dehua was a little confused. "Then how did you know it was him?"
"Of course," the woman explained. "First of all, he's your uncle, right? Secondly, his whole family disappeared, including his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Also, didn't you ask about those who disappeared in the 90s?
"They moved away in 1992. That year, I went to Luolong to attend your third uncle's funeral. I heard it clearly …"
"Then … then … avoiding debt … is not the same as disappearing, right?" Fan Dehua pondered.
"Oh, you're stupid," the woman scolded. "Have you ever seen a man avoid paying his debts for thirty years? Let me tell you, since 1992, his family has never been seen again. How can that not be called disappearing? "
"Then … Then …" Fan Dehua asked, "Do you know their names and where they live in Luolong?"
"Ask your second uncle's Dewei," the woman said. "He should know. His family used to live next door to them …"
"Oh … Dewei …" Fan Dehua covered his face. "I still owe him 3,000 yuan … I haven't paid him back yet …"
After that, Fan Dehua's ex-wife scolded Fan Dehua again, then hung up the phone.
"Okay," Zhao Yu said. "Hurry up and call your director. Ask for a leave of absence and come with us to Luolong County to find your Dewei …"
"Huh? I have to go too? "Fan Dehua was in a dilemma." I'm not lying. I really owe him money … "
"Forget it." Miao Ying thought about it for a moment. She thought that Fan Dehua didn't understand the situation, so it would be useless to follow him. She then said, "Give us Dewei's address and phone number. We'll go and ask him ourselves!"
Fan Dehua was happy to hear Miao Ying's suggestion. He immediately gave Zhao Yu and Miao Ying the detailed address and phone number, then got out of the car.
Zhao Yu set the navigation, started the car, and went straight to Luolong County.
"In this way, everything matches!" Miao Ying said. "Luolong County is the closest county to Tuoshan. It seems that the murderer should be from Luolong County, which is consistent with our initial guess.
But, I didn't expect the case to go so far back! "
"Missing because of debt evasion …" Zhao Yu said. "Ba Hongxue and the others were gangsters, so the relationship between them is almost clear!"
"Yes," Miao Ying said. "The old man moved with his son, grandson, and daughter-in-law. Now that we found the bones of the old man, grandson, and daughter-in-law, the remaining son is obviously the biggest suspect!"
"Yes," Miao Ying said. "A family of three died tragically in the Mountain God Temple. Alas … "Zhao Yu sighed and said," It seems that I can finally go to Yaoming to participate in the murder memoir! "
Miao Ying said, "Don't be too happy, my great detective Zhao. Don't forget that the last victim of the well case died three years ago, and the murderer has long since escaped!
Even if we find out his identity, it won't be easy to catch him. "
"It doesn't matter," Zhao Yu said calmly. "As long as we can determine his identity and put out a wanted order, I won't have to do anything!
My task is to find out the truth! " Miaomiao … Miaomiao … "Zhao Yu said excitedly," Officer Wang called me yesterday. He said that he suspected that there was another reason for the Memoir of a Murder! "
"Really?" Miao Ying's interest was piqued. "Why?"
Officer Wang asked the relatives and friends of the suspect Nong Zhifa. Their impression of Nong Zhifa was that he was impulsive, irritable, and reckless. "
Miao Ying then said, "All the cases in the memoir are rough, showing that the murderer is a cautious person. There is a clear difference between the two."
"Remember the video murder case?" Zhao Yu asked. "When we listed Kang Ziqing as a suspect, did we encounter the same problem?
"What happened in the end? Does it prove that Kang Ziqing is not the real murderer of the video murder case? "
"But, it doesn't seem to be the same, does it?" Miao Ying said. "Although the case in the memoir is similar to the video murder case, the means of committing the crime are more brutal!
This shows that the murderer has serious negative emotions and an unstable mental state, which is completely different from Yun Duoer's profile. "
"No," Zhao Yu said. "He killed 13 people, yet he was able to escape every time. This means that he must have some tricks up his sleeve!
I have to check it out and see if there is really something fishy about it! "
While they were talking, Miao Ying's cell phone rang. It was Zeng Ke.
"Leader Miao, I just received news from the forest protection station. They found a retired cadre from the Forestry Bureau in the provincial capital of Xixia," Zeng Ke said excitedly. "The old cadre can prove that there used to be a Mountain God Temple on the hillside where the well case was!
He can also prove that the Mountain God Temple was destroyed in a flash flood in 1992.
"The trees on the hillside were also planted by him and his men!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu clapped his hands and said, "There's no way out now! In the flash flood of 1992, the three people who died in the Mountain God Temple also disappeared in 1992! That's right!
"Now, let me see who the murderer is …. Who exactly is he?"
