Chapter 112 My Wife Really Loves Me
Three days have passed. Quan Ruifeng goes out early and comes back late every day, but there is still no clue about the murder case.
Quan Ruifeng finally came back early that day, and Xia Xian asked him how he was doing.
"There are no witnesses, and the neighbors said they didn't even hear any noise of a fight. There are no clues at all. If the victim hadn't died so tragically, everyone would have suspected that he committed suicide."
Quan Ruifeng was also puzzled. Generally speaking, there would always be some loopholes left, and no one could be 100% sure. But this murder case seemed to have done that, leaving them with no clues at all.
But it definitely wasn't suicide. The wound was obviously caused by a cut, so there must be a murderer. And judging from the height and direction of the wound, the murderer is most likely a middle-aged man over 1.7 meters tall. The wound is also particularly deep, which shows that the murderer is very strong.
"Then you didn't find anyone to suspect? Did he have any grudges or conflicts with anyone?"
Xia Xian also didn't believe it. There were really no clues left. Various methods of committing crimes in closed rooms were taught in later generations, and the murderer's anti-reconnaissance ability was also very strong, but there would still be loopholes left, allowing the police to crack them one by one. There must be clues here that they have overlooked.
"No, the victim is old, a retired cadre. He is usually kind to others. He has no children and his wife passed away very early. He is afraid that no one would know if something happened to him at home. So he is usually very kind to his neighbors. He just hopes that everyone can help him when he has a headache or a fever. The neighbors all think that the old man is a very good person and that they get along well with each other."
"But judging by the manner of death, this was probably revenge. Nothing valuable was missing from the house, so he didn't kill for money."
So it's very contradictory.
As for his relatives, they had almost no contact with him, and no suspicious points were found after visits and investigations.
"He has no children, so does he have a lot of money saved?"
But when Xia Xian heard this, she couldn't help but put forward a new point of view.
"Yes, the old man has more than 8,000 yuan in savings, which is a huge sum of money. He is usually frugal and doesn't spend much money. This money should be able to support him for a long time."
"He also helps his neighbors take care of their children. Neighbors will give him food or some money. He doesn't live off his savings."
It is understood that the old man has helped many people and donated money to poor families, otherwise his savings would be more than 8,000 yuan.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't have the conditions to make enemies with others.
This is what Quan Ruifeng couldn't understand. If it was for the money, then it would be easy to get it, but the money was just in the bedroom drawer and no one touched it.
When Xia Xian heard this, she easily found the corresponding case.
There are only a few types of murders: one is revenge, one is for money, one is passion killing, and the other is a perversion, where the murderer kills to satisfy his own desires. Let's classify it as passion killing for the time being, because the perpetrator has little interaction with the victim in normal times, and committing a crime in a closed room is definitely not passion killing. The only options left are money and revenge. It is known that the old man is a good man praised by everyone, and he doesn't seem like he would have an enemy, so it is more likely that he did it for money.
But the money was there and not lost. So, can we assume that after the old man died, the money was somehow transferred into the hands of the murderer through legal means?
After all, the old man has no children, so his property can only be inherited by relatives.
Xia Xian felt that the relatives were more likely to be suspects, so she suggested that Quan Ruifeng could start from this aspect and investigate further.
"Who is most likely to inherit the old man's property? It's not just the money. His house is so big, it's also a huge fortune."
"See if any relatives have come to the old man recently in need of money. You can start from this aspect and check it out first. If there is still no clue, then change direction."
Xia Xian suggested that she had seen many cases and TV dramas where people were murdered in order to seize relatives' property. Because the old man had no children, some relatives regarded the old man's property as their own. Then, they were dissatisfied with the old man for occupying their property for so long, and before he could die of natural old age, they wanted to end his life early and inherit the property.
If you have no children, there will be many people who will covet your property and would like to take a bite of your flesh!
This is the experience and conclusion Xia Xian has drawn from watching detective TV dramas over the years.
I have to say that her suggestion is quite good. Quan Ruifeng has been focusing more on revenge these days, and has been investigating whether anyone has conflicts with the old man. He even wondered if it was a grudge from many years ago, and the other party was seeking revenge now, so he started investigating the old man's past.
But after hearing what Xia Xian said, he felt that this was a good direction and he could indeed start investigating it. He was inspired and didn't even eat and was ready to leave immediately.
"I'm leaving first. Xia Xian, eat and study well, don't worry about me."
Quan Ruifeng ruffled Xia Xian's beautiful long black hair, gave her a few hurried instructions, and left.
"Wait, take this cake with you, and eat it when you're hungry!"
Xia Xian chased after him and stuffed the mung bean cake into his hand, asking him to take it.
Quan Ruifeng has been extremely busy these days. He hasn't been eating or sleeping well. Dark circles, the evil creature, have begun to appear on his handsome face. A little stubble has also started to appear on his chin, making him look a little haggard.
But he was still handsome and elegant, with a kind of decadent beauty. Xia Xian not only did not dislike him, but felt more distressed for him.
"My wife really loves me, so I'm leaving now."
Quan Ruifeng smiled, pinched Xia Xian's pretty fair face, and called her "wife" for the first time, with a teasing smile. After he finished speaking, he left, leaving Xia Xian there to savor the memory.
She curled her lips, her eyes full of smiles, but she still laughed and scolded Quan Ruifeng.
"How can you call her your wife if you haven't even gotten married yet? Have I agreed? Quan Ruifeng is really becoming more and more shameless now."
