Tiger Police

Chapter 261 I've seen him
It is said to be sweet glutinous rice, but it is actually eight-treasure rice, but it is called differently and the method is also somewhat different.

This kind of food could only be seen during festivals before, and it was also used for fasting monks.

Hu Pingtao had a good impression of this little novice, and deliberately teased him: "Do you usually listen to the master's words in the temple? Did you run around?"

Yanpa blinked his big black eyes and said mischievously, "I know what you are looking for."

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but ask, "Why, you know more than me?"

Yanpa nodded, slipped the candy in his mouth onto his tongue, sucked it and said, "I saw Yanzai last night."

Immediately, all eyes in the room focused on him.

Zhang Qingwei's face showed joy, he was about to ask questions impatiently, but Hu Pingtao who was sitting next to him raised his hand to block him.The latter quickly organized the language in his mind, pretending not to care, and said: "We have walked halfway around the village, and everyone said that we didn't see Yan Zai last night... Hehe, the little boy must be honest, and he must not lie or cheat." people."

"I didn't lie to you, I really met Yanzai!" Yanpa's young self-esteem suddenly felt hurt, he stood up, pouted angrily: "I will be a great Buddha in the future, I never lie .”

(Note: The Dai people believe in Theravada Buddhism, and those who practice it are commonly known as the Great Buddha.)
Hu Pingtao firmly grasped the other party's psychology from the beginning of the questioning, and the rhythm of the questioning followed Yanpa closely, not giving him time to think: "What time did you meet Yanzai last night? Where did you see it? "

"After twelve o'clock, hurry up." Children like to behave in front of adults, and Yanpa is no exception.

Although Hu Pingtao's work unit is at the Xiluo border checkpoint, he has stayed here for a long time and has a little understanding of the local ethnic customs: "Buddhist temples have evening classes every day and go to bed at eleven o'clock. How can you be twelve o'clock?" Are you still awake?"

"...I...I got up to pee." Yanpa blushed, lowered his head, and said embarrassedly: "Yuxiang gave me a watermelon yesterday, and we ate half of it...we slept until midnight to urinate, I got up to go to the bathroom, and when I was going down the stairs, I happened to see Yanzai walking past the Buddhist temple."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "How did you know it was faster then?"

"There is a clock in the temple." After all, Yanpa was young and had no plans. He replied with a sad face: "The watermelon in the daytime was too big. I ate it badly. I squatted in the hut and had diarrhea... When I got up, the watermelon in the temple The clock rang, and it was one o'clock."

The "clock" he mentioned refers to a special electronic clock.The bell is an electronically synthesized metal percussion sound, which is specially used to tell the time on special occasions such as temples.

In Hu Pingtao's mind, a little boy was in a hurry with his pants in his hands... He suppressed a smile and asked seriously: "Tell me about Yanzai's exact location at that time! Also, from which direction did he come?"

Yanpa replied quickly: "It's the road from the south of the village. At that time, there was another person beside Yanzai."

Zhang Qingwei hurriedly asked, "Who?"

Yanpa shook his head: "I don't know...it's dark, I can't see clearly."

Hu Pingtao was a little puzzled: "Since you can't see clearly, how do you know that the other person is Yan Zai?"

"The man held his mobile phone and followed the road." Yanpa explained: "There are dirt roads in the village, especially the part from the south that is difficult to walk. When going out at night, either use a flashlight or use a mobile phone. That man was With my face turned away, the phone was turned towards Iwazai, and there was a light, so I could tell it was Iwajae."

Listening to Yanpa's description, Hu Pingtao subconsciously made a gesture of holding the phone with his right hand.

He turned sideways and whispered to a policeman from the police station sitting behind him: "Xiao Li, go to the nearby canteen and buy some snacks."

Xiao Li nodded knowingly, turned and left.

Hu Pingtao had a premonition that the breakthrough of this case was in the little monk Yanpa.

Turning around, he looked at Yanpa, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me what that person looked like when he was with Yanpa? Well... I mean, what posture are the two of them walking on the road ?”

Hu Pingtao knew the road to the south of the village.He had been to Mengsuo Village before.That was brought by Zhang Qingbao last year.Zhang Qingbao had a friend in the village. He killed a sheep and invited them to drink.

Hu Pingtao also knew the location of the Buddhist temple, so as soon as Yanpa said it, he knew that the little novice got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and saw the general direction of Yanzai——there were many banana trees planted in the south of the Buddhist temple, and the temple walls were covered with Made of fence.Through the gap, Yanpa happened to see Yanzai and another person walking down the road.

The crux of the matter is: Why can Yanpa see that it is Yanjae, but not the other person's face?

There were no street lights in the village, and it was already dark at midnight.There are no residential buildings near the Buddhist temple, so naturally there is no such thing as "excuse the light".Walking on the dark road, if you want not to fall, you must use equipment such as a flashlight.

Mobile phones have exactly this function.

Two people are walking together in a dark environment. Normally, the person holding the mobile phone should illuminate the road, and most of the light will be concentrated on his feet.If it is sideways towards the person next to you, the other party should have a higher status than the illuminating person, or an elder, or maybe a girlfriend.

Posture matters!
The little novice thought for a while, raised his hands and grabbed his head, stood up from the floor, posed a pose, and said uncertainly: "It seems...it's like this..."

He was lying on his side, with his left hand sticking out, his right hand underneath, and his upper body leaning slightly to the left.

After all, Yanpa is young and his movements are not standard, and there are some uncertain elements in it.However, everyone present can see that this action is to hug another person sideways, and try his best to support him.

At this time, Xiao Li came back.

Hu Pingtao took the plastic bag in his hand, took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Yanpa, and said with a smile: "Little friend, what you said is very helpful to us. Take it, this is a reward for you."

The little novice shook his head again and again: "I don't want it."

Hu Pingtao suddenly came to his senses: this is equivalent to a reward to some extent.

"I said something wrong. This is not a reward, hehe, I made a mistake." He quickly changed his words: "It should be giving."

Monks in Southeast Asia only accept giving.

Chocolate is such a thing that has an extremely strong temptation for children.Although Yanpa refused, his stomach was full of gluttons.As soon as Hu Pingtao changed his words, he quickly took it over with a happy expression on his face.

Hu Pingtao struck while the iron was hot: "When you saw Yanzai, were his eyes open or closed?"

The little novice who was tearing up the chocolate wrapping stopped, feeling a bit embarrassed: "I really didn't notice this... But Yanzai looked a little weird at the time."

Hu Pingtao quickly asked: "What kind of strange method?"

The little novice stood up again, and gestured: "He walked very slowly, as if he had no strength. Hmm... I've seen him like this before, he must have drunk too much wine, the kind of drunk."

Hu Pingtao asked heuristically: "You mean, he was being supported by the person next to him?"

"That's right, that's right." The little novice nodded repeatedly.

Hu Pingtao, Zhang Qingwei and others were greatly encouraged.Zhang Qingwei directly sent the whole bag of snacks to the little monk, and laughed loudly: "Yanpa, the information you provided is very useful. I have to thank you very much!"

The little boy was a little strange. He looked at him, and then at Hu Pingtao who was sitting opposite: "Didn't you just say that this is not a thank you gift?"

"This is a gift." Hu Pingtao poked Zhang Qingwei with his elbow: "It is really a gift from us."

Yanpa's father watched and smiled without saying a word, and did not point out.

Zhang Qingwei wanted to dig out more clues from the little monk: "Think carefully, what else is there? Tell me everything you know."

Yanpa frowned and thought for a long time: "It's gone. I've said everything I know."

He added naively: "I swore an oath in front of the Buddha that I cannot lie."

Hu Pingtao stood up and teased this funny little boy with a smile: "I believe you will definitely become a great Buddha in the future."

Yanpa's eyes were full of little stars of surprise: "Really?"

"Really!" Hu Pingtao was full of sincerity.

Zhang Qingwei said goodbye to the little novice's father.

Next, the focus of the investigation will be transferred to the south of the village, where there are six families.

When he was about to go out, the little novice suddenly called out.

"Wait, I remembered who that person was with Iwazai last night."

"...Well, I'm not sure, but it looks like Dao Yong."

……

Dao Yong is not tall, but he is very strong.

He is a young man in his 20s.

Hu Pingtao's question was straight to the point: "Where were you last night?"

"Sleep at home." Dao Yong answered quickly, without thinking.

Hu Pingtao had already thought of a different questioning process: "What time did you sleep?"

"More than ten o'clock." Dao Yong spoke smoothly: "It seems to be around 10:30."

Hu Pingtao raised his head, looked around the decorations in the room, and asked casually, "I heard that you usually like to play cards and go out every night. Why did you change your temper last night?"

Dao Yong didn't pause for a second: "I recently watched a series on my mobile phone. "Game of Thrones" is very interesting, so I didn't go to play cards."

His appearance is full of tropical atmosphere, his brown-black skin is tight, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his cheeks bulge outward, making him look extremely sturdy.

Hu Pingtao stood up and paced back and forth in the room, carefully looking at various objects, including every detail in the room.

"Where are your parents?"

"Working in the field, do you want me to call them back?"

Hu Pingtao waved his hand, walked slowly to the fire pit and stood still, and asked condescendingly, "How many episodes of Game of Thrones have you seen?"

"22." Dao Yong replied.

Hu Pingtao's seemingly unintentional gaze locked on it: "I also like that series very much. 22...The little king who knows nothing about heaven and earth is dead. It seems that the Duke's daughter killed him."

Dao Yong raised his head: "Are you testing me?"

"Yes." Hu Pingtao said bluntly: "You said you were sleeping at home last night, but someone saw you go out."

Dao Yong interrupted him and frowned, "Who said that?"

"You don't have to worry about it. Someone saw it anyway." Hu Pingtao sat down cross-legged, watching every change on Dao Yong's face: "If someone proves that you really slept at home last night, then I didn't say what I said before."

Dao Yong reacted quickly: "My parents can testify."

Hu Pingtao shrugged his shoulders with a smile, shook his head and said: "The testimony of immediate family members is basically useless in court. I don't like to embarrass others. If you can tell the plot of that series, it will be different."

Dao Yong's expression became visibly flustered.

Hu Pingtao's sharp gaze seemed to see through the opponent's heart: "You killed Yanzai!"

The sound is loud and has an absolute deterrent effect.

"I didn't!" Dao Yong replied subconsciously.

Before the words fell, Hu Pingtao spoke quickly, without giving the other party time to think: "You took Yanzai to the pond at the entrance of the village, pushed him down, and drowned alive."

"I didn't!" Dao Yong denied again.

Hu Pingtao took out a cigarette from his pocket and stared at him: "Someone saw it."

"It's impossible!" Dao Yong said over and over again: "I haven't been out, I'm sleeping at home."

Hu Pingtao's tone was serious: "We have done a detailed investigation and investigation. All the people who went out in the village last night have proofs, but you don't have any."

Dao Yong's expression became ferocious: "I said it, and my parents can prove it."

After staring at him for half a minute, Hu Pingtao said slowly: "Since you insist on saying that, well... I will send someone to the field to call your parents back now. They won't be back for a while. , we will talk to them in another place. Like the village committee, or the small auditorium in the village.”

"Your parents are old, I don't know if they have a good memory, but they must remember what happened last night."

"Didn't you say you're watching a series recently?"

"Didn't you say you went to bed after ten o'clock last night?"

"Didn't you say you didn't go out last night?"

"All these questions, if your parents answer one of them wrong, you're done."

"By the way, there is a procedure for our police to handle cases. Your parents will be questioned separately, not together."

Looking at Dao Yong with a livid face, Hu Pingtao said flatly: "I advise you to explain the problem honestly. Otherwise..."

As soon as he said this, Dao Yong suddenly put his hand into his pocket at a very fast speed, took out a white substance that looked like a sugar cube, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed hard.

Hu Pingtao and Zhang Qingwei suddenly came to their senses.

The two rushed over at the same time, grabbed Dao Yong's throat and cheeks, and forced him to spit out what was stuffed into his mouth.

It's too late.

Dao Yong foamed at the mouth, trembled all over, and died on the spot.

Hu Pingtao sniffed at his lips, frowned and said, "Is it potassium cyanide?"

Zhang Qingwei was shocked: "Where did he get this thing?"

Hu Pingtao also had his own problems: "He just said a few words, and he swallowed poison...Third son, it seems that this case is not easy."
