Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 290 Looking for a breakthrough

Leave Tian Dajiang's house.

They then went to check the well in the village, the one where Tian Dajiang had fallen in.

“Many people used to come to fetch water from the village. But since Tian Dajiang drowned there, very few people have come to fetch water,” Zhao Yongliang said.

Su Miaoyi looked inside and saw that there was still water.

The well is located somewhat outside the village.

It is highly likely that Tian Dajiang encountered the murderer in the shed in the orchard, and after hallucinating, walked from the mountain to this well.

At the time, all she saw in the video was a ghost face injecting drugs; she couldn't see where it was.

Four people stood around the well, looking at it.

Su Miaoyi then asked, "What exactly happened that Tian Min was bullied?"

Zhao Yongliang thought for a moment: "They didn't report this to the police at first, so naturally we didn't know. It's been almost twelve years now, and I hadn't been transferred here yet. We only found out about it three years ago after Tian Dajiang's incident."

"Tian Min was only fifteen at that time." Chu Xingrou was shocked and furious.

Zhao Yongliang frowned and nodded: "I heard many versions three years ago. It was said that Tian Dajiang's murder required an investigation to see if he had any enemies. It was Tian Dajiang's parents who mentioned this, suspecting that Tian Min's family was responsible. Tian Dajiang's parents kept saying that Tian Min was wrong."

Su Miaoyi's calm expression turned slightly disgusted.

Su Miaoyi couldn't help but say, "She's only fifteen, what do you mean it's her fault?"

“We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. We can’t let the murderer get away with it, nor can we wrong an innocent person,” Zhao Yongliang said. “So we went to Tian Min’s house. Tian Min’s parents said that Tian Dajiang bullied Tian Min in the fields. Tian Min’s family did not call the police. After negotiations between the two families, Tian Dajiang’s family paid Tian Min’s family more than 10,000 yuan in compensation.”

Chu Xingrou took a deep breath.

“On the night Tian Dajiang was murdered three years ago, Tian Min’s family was in Changshi City and had no time to commit the crime, so they were ruled out,” Zhao Yongliang continued. “Moreover, it involved Tian Min’s privacy, so we only asked those two families and didn’t ask anyone else in the village.”

"But later, when we talked to the neighbors about Tian Dajiang, someone else mentioned Tian Min's situation, and we realized that almost the whole village knew about it. So we asked the villagers again, and they were all cursing Tian Dajiang as a scoundrel."

After Zhao Yongliang finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued, "To say something I shouldn't, after I met Tian Min's parents, I never suspected them."

"why?"

“A gambling father and a neglectful mother who don’t care about their children at all. Tian Min raised both of her younger brothers. I don’t think they’re the kind of people who would do this for their children.” Zhao Yongliang sighed. “Bad luck to be born into such a family.”

"Where does she live?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Over there," Zhao Yongliang pointed to the other end of the village, "the southeast corner, the third house in the second row on the south side."

"It's quite far from here," Chu Xingrou said.

"Yes," Zhao Yongliang said.

They also randomly asked some families in the village.

They started walking back around noon.

When we arrived at the convenience store, we found it was closed.

A sign on the door reads: I'm not home these days, so I won't be opening the door.

Zhao Yongliang went to knock on the door next door.

The front door was locked, and no one was home.

The neighbors said that Tian Liu had taken the child to another city to find the child's father, because she felt that the village was not safe.

Not only Tian Liu's family, but several other families in the village also left, saying they were going to stay elsewhere for a while.

Everyone must be scared after something like this happened.

Just like Tian Liu said.

If it were truly divine punishment from the horned ram god, that would be fine, since she hadn't done anything wrong. But this was man-made.

No one can say for sure whether the murderer will kill indiscriminately.

The families I spoke to today were most concerned about safety.

So after returning to the village committee, I first talked about the case.

Duan Wenrui made no new discoveries.

Su Miaoyi also shared some of the things she had asked.

In fact, Duan Wenrui and the others already knew almost everything they asked.

The case information wasn't very detailed, so only Su Miaoyi and the others didn't know.

After discussing the case, we arranged the evening patrol.

The safety of the villagers must be guaranteed.

In the afternoon, Su Miaoyi didn't go out again, but instead sorted through the information she had gathered.

The autopsy results for Wan Shuang are not yet available. The music player that played the songs last night has been sent to the city for analysis. The fabric taken from the tree branch at Tian Dajiang's house has also been sent for testing.

The fabric wasn't from Tian Dajiang's parents' clothes, and the two of them hadn't crawled through the hollowed-out hole under the branches. In fact, they hadn't even gone near that pile of branches in the past few days.

So who did he hide in his house?

Su Miaoyi thought about the clues and connected all the cases together, assuming that there was only one murderer.

They then analyzed each case individually, assuming that different perpetrators were behind them.

If it's related to punishment, what kind of punishment would it be?
What was the motive for the crime?
Su Miaoyi spent the whole afternoon combing her hair and felt that her head had become three times its original size.

As the sun sets in the west at dusk, the sunset is beautiful.

In fact, the scenery in Yanjing Village is very beautiful.

The case weighed heavily on my mind, making even the beautiful scenery seem gloomy.

Su Miaoyi looked at the sunset, appearing calm and composed, sitting upright and motionless, but in her mind she kept rubbing her hair.

He may seem normal, but he's actually mentally broken.

Wake up! Stop being lazy, it's time to get to work.

Although the two personalities are interconnected.

But in the past, when it came to solving cases, she would only occasionally offer suggestions or give reminders.

She never led the investigation of such a complete case.

She's good with her hands, but when it comes to thinking, she's always less agile than him.

"Sister Miaomiao, have some water." Chu Xingrou poured her a glass of water.

Su Miaoyi took it and drank two sips: "Thank you."

"Sister Miaomiao, I have an idea," Chu Xingrou whispered to her.

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

“Then Gao Hui was found to have the poisonous substance Antiaris toxicaria. Didn’t we suspect that this case might be related to Lu Xian or Mia?” Chu Xingrou whispered to her as she sat down next to her. “Then can we go around the village and ask Lu Xian or Mia, as well as the photos of the people we arrested who worked for Mia, about them?”

Su Miaoyi felt her head, which had been swollen with worry, suddenly return to normal, as if Chu Xingrou had reconnected the broken string in her mind.

Chu Xingrou continued, "Although I can't figure out why Lu Xian or Mia would come here, and I even think they shouldn't be here at all, since this place is nothing special, we have no clue right now, so why don't we give it a try?"
