The King of the City

After the car left the city, the number of cars on the road decreased a lot. Lin Chen speeded up and galloped on the road.

It didn't take long for the car to arrive at Xiazhuang Village. After parking the car on an open space in the village, the three walked towards Liu Gang's house together.

After approaching Liu Gang's house, from a distance, Lin Chen and the others saw Liu Gang waiting at the door.

Liu Gang also saw Lin Chen and the others. Instead of walking towards Lin Chen and the others, he turned around and shouted at the house.

Although Lin Chen and the others couldn't hear what Liu Gang was shouting, they didn't have to think about it. They must have told Liu Jiankang that the police were here.

When Lin Chen and the others came to the door of the wooden house, Liu Gang nodded and greeted Lin Chen and the others.

At this time, footsteps came from the house, and an old man with a rickety figure came out of the wooden house.

This old man is naturally Liu Gang's grandfather, Liu Jiankang.

Yesterday's Liu Jiankang was very disgusted after seeing Lin Chen and the others. He wanted to drive Lin Chen and the others away, saying that he didn't want to see Lin Chen and the others.

But today, after seeing Lin Chen and his party, his expression changed significantly from yesterday.

Needless to say, he would have such a change, which must be due to Liu Gang.

After Lin Chen saw that the arrogance of yesterday's face was gone from Liu Jiankian's face, he said, "Old man, tell me the grievances you suffered from the police, and I will try my best to help you."

Lin Chen knew that even if Liu Gang made the old man clear, with his character, he would definitely have to listen to him first, and only after he promised to help.

After Liu Jiankian heard Lin Chen's words, he sat on a small bench, took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, opened the cigarette case, and pulled out a cigarette from it.

This is a homemade cigarette. Cut the workbook to the required size, put tobacco leaves, roll it up, and then dab it with glue and you can set it on fire.

In the countryside, in order to save money and do not want to carry a cigarette stick, many people will do this.

After grabbing the cigarette in his hand, Liu Jiankang said, "I'd better talk about what I saw first. I'll talk about my affairs later."

Liu Jiankang's words were beyond Lin Chen's expectations.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then tell me, we'll listen."

Liu Gang also trotted and took out three small benches from the house and gave Lin Chen and the others to sit on.

After saying thanks, Lin Chen and the others sat on the small bench, and Liu Jiankang sat opposite them.

Liu Jiankang lit the homemade cigarette in his hand, he took a sip, his eyes showed memories, and said: "I do know a thing or two about the car retrieved from the Daqing River, and I don't know what I saw. , will it help you in handling the case?"

"Probably more than three years ago, the winter that year was very cold and the temperature was very low. I remember that when Xiaogang came back to play once that year, I just made a plate of steaming chicken feet. After kung fu, it freezes, and when you eat it, you put it in a pot and cook it to thaw it.”

"Although it was very cold at that time, I still had to go out to work every day. One evening, I can't remember exactly which day, the old man."

"That evening, the weather was also very cold and it was very dark. After I finished working in the field, I walked home with a hoe on my back. The route I was walking was along the Daqing River. I heard a strange sound in the distance behind..."

Lin Chen and the others all looked at Liu Jiankang, listened to his narration, and did not speak.

Liu Gang did the same, his eyes fixed on his grandfather.

"Although the sound is not very clear, and my ears are not very good, I know that it is the sound of something falling into the water."

Liu Jiankang raised his hand again, put the homemade cigarette in his mouth and took a sip, and continued: "I turned my head to look in the direction of the sound, it was already very dark at that time, and the road was very remote. , I couldn't see it very clearly, but I saw a big hole in the center of the frozen Daqing River."

"I was far from where the hole was at the time. I also know that if the hole is small, it will look smaller or invisible from a distance."

"But I can see the hole, it's very big, and after I took a few steps closer and stared at it for a while, I also saw a person, from the edge of the big hole, quickly moved towards the shore. run."

Lin Chen, Peiqian, Ouyang Chuying, and after hearing this, they looked at each other.

One evening three years ago, Liu Jiankang passed the frozen Daqing River and heard the sound of things falling into the water. He turned around and saw a large hole in the ice in the center of the river.

And, after he took a few steps closer and stared at the hole for a short while, he saw a figure standing on the edge of the hole and quickly ran towards the shore.

Needless to say, the sound of falling into the water was the sound of Liu Yiyi's car falling into the water, and the big hole in the ice was the hole caused by the falling of the car.

As for the person who ran from the edge of the hole to the shore, this person is most likely the murderer of Liu Yiyi's death.

After discovering the car and body, the police could not determine whether Liu Yiyi committed suicide, accident or homicide.

Based on some clues, Lin Chen deduced that Liu Yiyi was likely killed by him, and now Lin Chen and the others are also investigating in the direction of his killing.

Liu Jiankang's witness statement further confirmed Lin Chen's inference.

After the car plunged into the river, on the edge of the hole in the ice, stood a man. .

The information provided by Liu Jiankang, a stubborn old man, is very useful. It can almost prove that Liu Yiyi's death was killed by him.

When she fell into the water, there was another person next to her. That person did not call the police when Liu Yiyi and her car fell into the icy Daqing River. Combined with other clues, the possibility that he was the murderer was very, very high. of.

"Old man, how long did you stare at the big hole on the river before you saw the person standing on the edge of the hole?" Lin Chen asked Liu Jiankang, who was holding a homemade cigarette in his hand.

Liu Jiankang recalled a little, and said: "I heard the sound of something falling into the water, so I looked back. It was very dark at that time, and it was going to be dark soon. I took a few steps closer, and then continued to stare. About...about ten or twenty seconds, or half a minute, I saw a person running from the edge of the hole quickly towards the shore."

"Did that person always stand on the edge of the hole, or climbed out of the water?" Lin Chen then asked.

Both Pei Qian and Ouyang Chuying understood why Lin Chenwei 11 would ask such a question, because Liu Yiyi was sitting in the driver's seat with a seat belt on her body when she fell into the river, and the distance between the seat and the steering wheel was still very close.

And the window of the passenger seat was destroyed. If the person climbed out of the water, it means that it was not Liu Yiyi who smashed the window of the passenger seat with the adjustable wrench, but the mysterious man. .

"Uh...this..." Liu Jiankian frowned, the homemade cigarette in his hand was about to burn his fingers, but he didn't know it at all: "I don't know about this, it's possible He climbed out of the water, and it is also possible that he has been squatting on the edge of the hole, because my eyesight is not very good, and the sky is very dark, it is almost dark."

"It was that person who ran, and the color of the ice surface was different, so I could see that it was a person's."
