Chapter 276: Discovering a major suspect, an extremely superstitious contractor
A case of a boy in red strangling himself to death?
When she first heard about this case, Xu Yilin frowned in confusion.
But three seconds later.
He seemed to remember something and immediately answered with sudden enlightenment.
"Is it...Is it the case that happened in the rural area of Lu'an County?"
"I heard that someone wanted to do some kind of living sacrifice to bring good luck to himself or something, so he specifically targeted children and killed a junior high school student."
"This case initially caused panic among the people of Lu'an County."
"I was afraid that my child would be taken away by the murderer and sacrificed alive. I was not superstitious at the time, but I asked the child's grandmother to take care of her, for fear that she would be targeted..."
Speaking of this.
Xu Yilin suddenly stopped talking, quickly thought of something, and spoke quickly.
"superstitious."
"Wait, officers, is this case related to Zhang Lifang?"
"When she was my nanny, Zhang Lifang was very superstitious. She would hold a ceremony every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to worship gods and so on."
"But since she did a good job in other areas except this one, I just kept using her."
"I still remember clearly that my daughter had a high fever for a while. She went to the hospital several times but nothing worked. Zhang Lifang said that she might be possessed by evil spirits and asked me to go to the temple to pray and find some talismans and burn them into ashes for my daughter to drink."
"She also said that her last employer's child also had a fever and was not well, and in the end he listened to her and found a master to drink the talisman paper ash, and then he got better."
"However, I didn't believe this kind of thing. I went to a big hospital and found out that my daughter had a high fever caused by latent pneumonia."
In Xu Yilin's words.
Lin Tian caught a detail with great sensitivity and asked quickly.
"Ms. Xu."
"You just said... Zhang Lifang's last employer believed in her superstitions?"
"Yes, I think he believes it very much." Xu Yilin answered affirmatively, and then continued from the perspective of a mother.
"If you don't believe me, I really don't know...why would you think that a sick child can be cured just by drinking the ash of the talisman paper."
"I feel like anyone who has received a little education wouldn't do something like this, right?"
"That's your own child, not a stray dog you picked up on the street, or something you can buy another one of at any time."
This moment.
Lin Tian had already thought of something and looked at the other people around him.
"Director Huang, Director Liu, Detective Bai."
"You probably still remember who the witch's last employer was from the information Director Wang found earlier, right?"
The words fell.
Liu Yang, who was good at officialdom, spoke up immediately.
"Yes, of course I remember."
"The witch's last employer was a local contractor in Lu'an County. Due to project reasons, he only employed her for one year."
Speaking of this.
Huang Qiang, who came here to investigate the case, also continued the conversation.
"Contractor."
"If we look at the national conditions of our Dragon Country over the past decade or so."
"In the profession of foreman, many people are local bosses who have not even graduated from elementary school and later started from scratch."
"Besides, the people working on the construction site are basically very superstitious. In the beginning, they even had to do the work of driving piles, and they had to hold a special ceremony the day before the roof was completed."
"I don't have much culture, and because of my work, I'm more superstitious."
"Under this premise, seeing that my child's illness has not been cured, I may choose to believe that talisman paper ash can cure the disease."
"My child has problems because his soul was frightened by something like that."
"From this, it can be extended to... maybe because his subsequent career development is not going well, he came to ask the witch how to change his luck?"
"Under this premise, the witch immediately passed the internal assessment?"
Huang Qiang deliberately made his remarks vague so as not to let Xu Yilin know the more accurate situation.
Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing, just like if Xu Yilin learned about Zhang Lifang's viciousness and cruelty.
It won't bring her any positive help, but only unspeakable fear and horror.
But even with such a vague statement, everyone present immediately thought of a certain situation. Bai Yu stroked the pipe in his hand, narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"You can check it in more detail."
"If there is a connection here, based on the general situation shown in that case, it should be possible to determine that..."
"There should be some connection between that contractor and the victim of the case."
While everyone was talking non-stop.
Xu Yilin showed an increasingly confused expression, and was obviously a little confused. She felt that the several police officers present seemed to be deliberately playing guessing games with her.
But she also knew that she couldn't ask too many questions, so she just sat there quietly and remained silent.
The meeting room fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for Wang Qi to bring the latest results, and they were also thinking in their minds... Who did Zhang Lifang bewitched to help her kill people and pass the review of the drug trafficking organization.
Dozens of minutes later.
Wang Qi, who had temporarily left to arrange some matters, pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
He first glanced at everyone in the conference room, then shook his head solemnly and spoke with a frown.
"No."
"I just mobilized all the criminal investigation officers in Jinling City."
"After two short screenings, we found that the older single woman who looked similar to the one described by Ms. Xu could not be the Zhang Lifang who had absconded."
"Is this... wrong?"
This result.
This undoubtedly caused everyone present to feel unspeakable confusion and headaches.
If this direction is wrong, then the difficulty of digging out the witch in the future will probably increase several times.
Especially...when there are currently no clues.
now.
Just when everyone was having a headache, Bai Yu, who was thinking carefully about what had just happened and whose criminal investigation thinking had not yet solidified, suddenly remembered a detail.
He quickly looked at Xu Yilin in front of him and asked seriously.
"Ms. Xu."
"You said before that you usually take selfies, so I want to ask..."
"Do you have the habit of posting your usual selfies on WeChat Moments?"
Regarding this issue.
Xu Yilin didn't need to think at all and answered without hesitation.
"Yes, it will definitely be sent."
"Because I sell goods online, and my main products are all kinds of clothing, so I will definitely post selfies on WeChat Moments to increase sales."
This moment.
Bai Yu already understood why he couldn't find the witch before, and immediately continued the conversation.
"Ms. Xu."
"Could you please open WeChat? I need to see what kind of clothes you wore in the selfies you posted to your friends in the past few days..."
