Chapter 196 Identity of the victim!
"They, no."
"My eldest grandson is only 18 years old and is still in the first year of high school. My youngest granddaughter is 16 years old and is still in the second year of junior high school. They are still a long way from working. We just hope that they can get into college. If they can, they won't have to worry about finding a job in the future!"
The old woman's face was full of longing when she said this.
Everyone was a little disappointed. If the grandson was in his teens, it would be unlikely for him to be able to do this. Moreover, even if Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng only took a glance yesterday, they knew that the man driving the car was at least in his twenties and could not be eighteen years old. He looked very mature.
But even so, everyone did not give up and continued to learn more according to the process.
I also learned about the old lady's son and daughter-in-law, and whether they drove out yesterday. But according to the old lady, their car did not go out yesterday. It was because her son took his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home today that they drove the car.
There is nothing we can do since they are not here. Now that we see them and haven't found out more information, we can only give up for now. This family is much less suspicious.
So everyone decided to leave first and then go to the house on Shuixie Street to take a look.
However, they did not completely believe what the old woman said, and decided to secretly ask a few neighbors later.
"Grandma, we'll leave first then."
Xia Xian offered to leave.
"Oh ok, have a nice trip."
The old lady stood up to see the three people off and sent the merchant to the door before she realized what was going on.
"Hey, what on earth are you doing here today?"
Why did you ask about their family situation?
The old woman suddenly became a little suspicious.
"Nothing. There have been some thieves recently, and it's not very safe. I want to know if my mother-in-law's family is there and if they have noticed anything unusual. It's not very safe to live alone."
"But don't worry, we will solve the case as soon as possible and arrest the thief!"
Xia Xian's solemn promise!
So that’s how it is. After hearing this, the old woman understood.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The old woman finally dispelled her suspicions and let the three people go.
In front of the old woman, they knocked on the doors of several neighbors and asked questions openly.
In the end, what the old lady said was almost the same. She didn't lie about her age, so maybe this matter has nothing to do with this family.
So the three of them went directly to No. 352 Shuixie Street.
When they arrived, the family was still having dinner. They saw them all, but none of the people matched the description. The car was also there, and although the last two digits of the license plate were the same, it was obviously not the car they saw. The color was even different.
This family can be ruled out as a suspect.
So what’s the problem?
"Could it be that we missed it and there are other license plates ending with 32 that we haven't found?"
"Or is there something wrong with grandma's family? I should find some time to go see what their family looks like."
Xia Xian murmured to herself that she had gained nothing today, as if the clues ended here.
It will be difficult to investigate further.
"Let's go back and have someone check it out again to see if there are any details that have been missed."
Quan Ruifeng couldn't figure it out. It shouldn't be like this. There must be some details that they overlooked. He had to think about it carefully.
"Do you think it's possible that someone else borrowed their car?"
Zhou Xingshi put forward his own ideas.
Because Quan Ruifeng and Xia Xian had met the murderer before, they had been looking for someone who matched their impression, but missed other details and were directly confined to that range. Now that Zhou Xingshi brought it up, they suddenly realized!
"That makes sense, I forgot to ask them if they had loaned out the car!"
Although the car on Shuixie Street did not match the one they saw, the one on Guxiang in Nancheng might match. And it was not just a borrowed car. What if they just borrowed the license plate?
It is not impossible to borrow someone else's license plate to confuse people.
"Then let's go back and ask!"
So the three of them went back and asked again, but unfortunately they still got nothing. They insisted that they had not lent out the license plate nor borrowed the car.
The old lady’s son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren haven’t come back yet, so they can only come back tonight or tomorrow morning.
The three of them had no choice but to go back to the Public Security Bureau.
"Re-screen the license plate numbers to see if there are any that were missed."
"How's the investigation going? Have you found any witnesses?"
Quan Ruifeng asked the police sent to investigate near the low mountain whether they had found any other information?
But it was too early and it was a rare weekend, so everyone was either resting at home or out playing with others. There were not many people on the roadside so early in the morning, so no one saw the car, let alone noticed anything unusual.
Things are temporarily at a standstill.
Fortunately, things took a turn for the better in the afternoon.
"Recently, a man named Liu Maoyuan has been missing for three days. He is 27 years old and his shoe size is 43, which fits the victim's information. The family has been notified and they will probably come to identify the body soon."
I just don’t know if there are only a few body parts and whether the family members can recognize them and whether they can bear it.
"Isn't there a burn scar on the back of the calf? The family should be able to identify it. Don't let them see the body parts directly. Just show the burn scar and let them identify it."
It is indeed inappropriate to let family members see the body parts directly. No matter whether they are their own children or not, they will not be able to accept it and may even cause psychological trauma.
"Okay, I'll give you instructions then."
Quan Ruifeng, Xia Xian and Zhou Xingshi did not go home either. They ate and rested in the office, waiting for their families to come.
Just as they closed their eyes, they heard a commotion outside and bursts of crying, which was extremely sad.
"My poor son, how could you die so tragically? Who had such a deep hatred for you that he didn't even leave you a complete body!!!"
It seems that the family members have arrived.
Xia Xian yawned, then immediately sat up and went out to check with Quan Ruifeng and the others.
The family members have already identified the foot and confirmed that it belongs to their son, because their son has a burn scar on the back of his calf, which was caused when he was a child. The scar has become a little deformed and enlarged due to the pulling of the skin as he grew up. The scar is in exactly the same position, so it should not belong to anyone else.
That’s why the family members cried so bitterly.
Although he is pitiful, the most urgent task now is to find the murderer.
"Auntie, please calm down. We are also very sad about this incident, but the most important thing now is to catch the murderer and avenge your son. If he really has a grudge against your son or even your family, I'm afraid the rest of your family is not safe either."
Xia Xian went to persuade Liu Maoyuan's parents.
"He dares! If he dares to come, I will fight him to the death and make him pay for my son's life!!!"
Liu Maoyuan's parents were extremely excited, but they definitely wanted to avenge their son and did not want the murderer to go unpunished, so they cried for a while, then calmed down and cooperated with their work.
Seeing this, Xia Xian took them into the office and began to question them to get information.
But what came next was beyond their expectations!
