Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

"Small things are magnified? How to put it?"

Zhao Qiming asked, and he felt that Chen Yi seemed to have thought of some possibility.

Chen Yi just opened the cigarette case in his hand and took out a cigarette from it.

When lit, smoke rises and sounds follow.

"Didn't Sun Tengshan's mother say that this happened only once?"

"Regardless of whether she forgot or it was really just once, we just think it was only once, at least it was only once that she got so angry."

"Then, if there is only one incident, it means that Sun Jianli must have encountered something that made him very angry. It can even be said that it exceeded his psychological endurance, which led to his emotional loss."

"What could it be?"

"Wait a minute." Zhao Qiming interrupted at this time, "Team Leader Chen, what you are saying now is based on the assumption of the tomb robbery incident, and the two cases involve the same murderer, right?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Of course, judging from the clues we have so far, this is the most likely possibility."

Zhao Qiming: "Okay, Team Leader Chen, please continue."

Chen Yi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I'll tell you a few key words and you can think of them yourself."

"Grave robbing, harvest, anger, financial situation has not changed, no heirlooms in the family."

"Have you thought of anything?"

This time, Qin Fei was the fastest to respond. He blurted out: "Fake!"

"Um?"

Zhao Qiming and Shi Xin turned their heads at the same time.

"Fake?" Shi Xin also reacted, "Yes, if Sun Jianli spent a lot of effort and finally took out a very valuable thing from the tomb, and finally found out that it was fake and worthless, Don’t be mad at this.”

"It was precisely because of this incident that he became furious after returning home after the appraisal and beat Sun Tengshan until his nose bled. Sun Tengshan's mother was deeply impressed by this incident. After twenty-five years, she recalled it carefully and still I can remember it.”

Zhao Qiming's eyes widened when he heard He Xin's words.

Ouch, shit! Isn't this... this connection there? Sun Jianli and Cao Maojun both went to their graves!

However... it is just an inference, and the basis is not solidly convincing. It is somewhat subjective guess, and it is still based on a hypothetical premise.

Whether it is true or not is hard to tell.

But at least it makes sense.

The truth of the case seems to have begun to unfold.

This inference made Zhuo Yun take a breath of air and subconsciously looked at Qin Fei beside him. You react very quickly, you're faster than me! How can I protect my position with Chen Yi?

No, it’s two sentences high and low.

At that moment, he said: "If this is the case, the tomb robbing incident occurred at least twenty-five years ago."

"When Captain Kong investigated fifteen years ago, it had already been at least ten years. It is understandable that several people who have long lost contact cannot be traced."

Chen Yi nodded: "That's right."

"I personally think there is no problem with this direction."

"Thinking of going to the tomb, the murderer's way of committing the crime is very identifiable. The only thing that cannot be given a reasonable explanation is the mirror..."

After speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "Two possibilities."

"First, the mirror has nothing to do with the incident decades ago. The murderer placed the mirror as a means of revenge, purely to increase the victim's fear and let them watch themselves die."

"Secondly, the mirror is related to events decades ago, which needs to be broken down into several possibilities."

"Possibility one is that the victim was motivated to kill someone for money, or did not save the victim. There was a mirror or mirror-like cultural relics on the victim."

"Possibility two is that there are mirror-like cultural relics in the tomb. The murderer in this case is highly related to the owner of the tomb. This is a symbol of revenge."

"Possibility three is that the murderer was blackmailed. The blackmailer's confidence was because the murderer had a mirror-like cultural relic in his hand, so the murderer placed the mirror to mock him."

After saying that, he fell silent and quietly smoked the cigarette in his hand, not knowing what else he thought of.

Zhao Qiming was a little surprised. Chen Yi's reaction was so fast and he could always give a variety of analyzes in a short time. But he felt it was very reasonable and couldn't find any point to refute.

If these are proven to be the truth in the future, then Chen Yi will not be great, but terrifying.

When the atmosphere was quiet for a long time, Chen Yi put out his cigarette and said, "Let's go meet Yao Jing's family and make targeted inquiries based on our inferences!"

More than ten years ago, it was a clueless inquiry, and a dozen years later it was a clue-based inquiry. The results of the two are different.

The same question, if asked in a different way, will often get different answers.

…

The situation in Yao Jing's family is different from that of Sun Jianli. His wife has remarried long ago, but she only brought her only son.

Yao Jing was thirty-eight years old when he was killed, eleven years ago, when his son was only nine years old and had just entered college.

It is not too late to have a child at twenty-seven.

The factory where Yao Jing worked was a state-owned enterprise with a formal system. At that time, the second child policy was not yet allowed, so Yao Jing only had one son.

If he had not died, he and his wife might have had another child in a few years, which was a pity.

Several people came to the door at noon and did not leave Yao Jing's wife's home until 2:30 in the afternoon.

Like visiting Sun Jianli's family, there is still something to gain.

The advantage of targeted inquiry comes out. Yao Jing once liked antiques very early on, but later gave up because of his girlfriend's advice and quarrels.

The girlfriend was Yao Jing’s later wife.

Kong Hanyong didn't ask about this matter at the time. It was just a small matter of giving up his hobby. Moreover, more than ten years had passed, and it would have been easy to ignore it if the inquiry was not targeted.

This is just like quitting fishing, drinking, or quitting smoking. There will always be missing information.

Chen Yi and others were able to get this clue only because of the emergence of a new case. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to find out. One can imagine Kong Hanyong's powerlessness at that time.

"Yao Jing only agreed to his girlfriend on the surface, maybe because he was not married yet and was afraid of breaking up, but he definitely didn't know what he did secretly."

In the car, it was Zhao Qiming who spoke.

Following Chen Yi's train of thought, no matter how you look at this little thing, there are doubts and clues.

He Xin then spoke: "Twenty-five years ago, Yao Jing was only twenty-four years old, but he graduated from a technical secondary school and entered society at the age of nineteen. He is fully qualified and motivated to do something."

Zhao Qiming nodded: "Yes, but Yao Jing's wife said that there was nothing unusual about Yao Jing twenty-five years ago, and there was no windfall in the family, let alone antiques. This is true..."

"Is it fake again? Or is it hidden? Or is it a mistake in judgment?"

I thought I could get some new information in a targeted way, but it backfired unexpectedly.

After chatting for a few words, several people looked at Chen Yi.

"Team Leader Chen, who will be investigated next?" Zhao Qiming said.

Chen Yi shook his head: "Let's not investigate now. What we have found so far is enough to support the inference. It would be a waste of time to ask further. We need more conclusive evidence."

"Then change the direction and let the police in the city move."

"If this case is to be solved within two months, I'm afraid it will take a little bit of luck."
