Cao Dashan froze immediately, refusing to swallow his steamed bun, staring straight at Mo Hong.
Mo Hong softened his tone and said, "Could you reconstruct the scene at that time and tell me exactly what happened?"
Cao Dashan ate his steamed bun and grinned foolishly, glancing at Mo Hong one moment and then at Xu Songyuan the next.
Xu Guiying muttered, "It was perfectly normal just now..."
Now it looks silly again.
Just like the second child.
Just like that day, Xu Songyuan first talked about how hard he had worked over the years, mentioning the steamed buns he had given Cao Dashan, and then said that the murderer couldn't be allowed to go unpunished, what if he killed someone else...
Cao Dashan seems to have returned to normal.
He started uttering words one by one.
Mo Hong listened in silence, then said, "Xu Zhongtang took off his clothes, didn't he? He took off his shirt first, or maybe his pants?"
Cao Dashan scratched his head, then stopped eating the steamed bun in his hand.
He stared at his clothes, then looked at his pants.
It was springtime, March, and everyone was wearing coats, not just shirts.
"coat."
Mo Hong stood up, took off his coat, revealing a sweater underneath. Then, Mo Hong put his hands on his waist and looked at Cao Dashan, "And then you took off your pants?"
Xu Songyuan turned around, his fists clenched so tightly they turned white. After composing himself, he looked over again.
Xu Guiying frowned as she waited for Cao Dashan's reply.
Cao Dashan tilted his head and pointed at Mo Hong's waist.
To be precise, it was a belt.
With a click, Mo Hong unbuckled his belt and tossed it casually into the haystack.
His voice was persuasive, "Where did the belt end up?"
When a perpetrator commits a crime, if the victim resists, the perpetrator will usually try to subdue the person. Chen Zhi was a rural woman with strong physical strength. If Xu Zhongtang had only acted on impulse and might not have had rope with him, he might have used a belt to tie her up.
But it's also possible that Xu Zhongtang didn't think that far ahead. When he was driven by lust, he was only concerned with the flesh between his legs and didn't even know where his belt had fallen off.
Whether we believe Cao Dashan's words or not is another matter, but if it's a clue, we have to keep investigating.
Cao Dashan covered his head and looked at the belt on the haystack.
He paced back and forth, as if reminiscing.
"Throw it, throw it out..."
"He lost his belt?"
"leave……"
Mo Hong mimicked the throwing motion from before, continuing to stare at Cao Dashan's expression, "Throw..."
Cao Dashan: "He's lost, he's lost."
Where did you lose it?
Where did it go...?
Xu Songyuan didn't dare to breathe, his face was pale, and he stared intently at Cao Dashan's expression.
Xu Guiying didn't dare to speak.
Song Anmin became even quieter, covering his mouth and not daring to make a sound.
Mo Hong deliberately said, "I know you picked up the belt, but Xu Zhongtang didn't know. He ran away in a panic."
