Clues from the scene are really limited, after all, five years have passed.

Even if Captain Zhao has tried his best to keep everything here the same as back then, many things will slowly change with the passage of time.

At most, the scene can give Ding Fan a little intuitive impression of the development of the case, and nothing can be done about the rest.

In contrast, there is no clue that Ding Fan found from the photos of the deceased.

The expression left on the deceased's face at the last moment has always been the focus of Ding Fan's attention, because too much time has passed, and too many things will be worn out in five years.

Only photographs can clearly leave the image of the time, and it will not change due to time.

And the looks on the faces of these five victims seem to be a little different, which is why Ding Fan has always been unable to figure it out.

Others are okay to say that Zhou Wei is a child after all, when danger comes, his first reaction is to panic, and when he is finally strangled to death by the murderer, his expression looks very hideous, this is the last moment of death, and there is nothing strange about it.

As for Xu Li, in addition to being flustered, her expression looked a little worried, probably because she saw the direction of the murderer when he came, worried about her son, and her father who had fallen in a pool of blood.

Zhou Xiaowu was simple, in addition to panicking, it was the pain caused by the wounds on his body, plus the shock caused by excessive blood loss at the last moment, and there was no superfluous expression on his face before he died.

Needless to say, Guo Cuihua is estimated to not be able to see the murderer's appearance before he dies, and he is confused.

Among the five people, the most intriguing look is Xu Wenshan.

He didn't seem to be panicked when he saw the murderer, but a little angry, and when he finally died, his expression was still a little majestic.

I really don't know what kind of person he saw at that time.

Ding Fan has been unable to figure out these things, thinking that he could find something useful from the scene, but in the end he found nothing at the scene.

When leaving, Ding Fan just deliberately reminded Qin Lu that among the five deceased, Xu Wenshan and Xu Li should have struggled, and they may have had physical contact with the murderer, trying to find the deceased's relics before his death, and see if there are any clues.

It's just that when he said this, Qin Lu seemed to think of something, and suddenly rummaged through it with his backpack, and finally found a photo and handed it to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan glanced at the person in the photo, isn't this Xu Wenshan?

Is there anything wrong?

It's not that I haven't seen this photo before, why did Qin Lu come out like this!

"If you look at the hands of the deceased, the two hands are obviously a little different. ”

Qin Lu saw that Ding Fan didn't notice the things on it, and hurriedly reminded him.

Under this look, Ding Fan finally understood what Qin Lu meant.

Xu Wenshan on the top of the photo, has been supporting the ground with his hand, and the other hand, there seems to be something glued to it, there is a black thing, when taking the photo, after this position was illuminated by the flash, the color changed, and you won't notice it if you don't look carefully.

"Is there any mention of it in the autopsy report?"

Ding Fan hurriedly asked Qin Lu, but the answer he got turned out to be Qin Lu's helpless shake of his head.

"Perhaps, the forensic doctor at that time didn't take this thing seriously at all, you just told me that Xu Wenshan had physical contact with the murderer, and I remembered this photo, judging from the location of this black spot, it is very likely that it was from the murderer

。 ”

Qin Lu's suspicion is very possible, if this is the case, this is undoubtedly the most direct clue.

I just don't know if the forensic doctor found out about this at the time, if I saw it at the time, even if I didn't do testing, it was a very important clue, and everything would have made great progress.

"In this way, you can go back to the bureau now, go directly to Director Hu, contact the forensic doctor who made this autopsy report at that time, and you must ask clearly, what is glued to the deceased's hands, I will go to Xu Ming's house now, and I have to ask about some details." ”

The two acted separately at the gate of the crime scene and began the next step of the investigation.

Ding Fan followed Captain Zhao directly to find Xu Ming, while Qin Lu went directly back to the police station and discussed the clues found here today in the evening.

At first, Captain Zhao was still a little squirming, and he didn't seem to want to go, but Ding Fan pressed him with his police rank, which cut off his back road and took him to where Xu Ming lives now.

Xu Li has always been taking care of the house that Xu Li had prepared, and she has been living here all these years, and she usually goes to Captain Zhao's house to clean up when she has time.

It's just that over the years, Captain Zhao has been avoiding her, and the two have never had a chance to meet.

It's not easy today, the two can meet, but there is an extra Ding Fan in the middle, which makes these two people a little embarrassed.

In fact, Ding Fan didn't want to do this, but now the case is the most important, and he hopes even more that he will ask about the situation of the case first, what do these two people want to say, they have time.

"Sister Xu, I know that it will definitely make you feel sad for you to recall what happened in your family at the beginning, but I still need you to help me recall the situation at that time, and closing the case as soon as possible can also comfort the soul of the deceased in the sky, right!"

To be honest, Ding Fan faced many family members of the deceased back then, and he knew very well that these people would inevitably have a lot of emotions when they talked about their murdered family members.

That kind of anger is understandable, and even he has seen family members who shouted at the police on the spot.

For a long time, Ding Fan was even a little afraid to face the families of these deceased.

But now he also knows that this level can't be avoided, so he can only wait hard.

Who knows, Xu Ming's reaction was unusually calm, perhaps her tears had dried up over the years.

On the contrary, his mood was abnormally relaxed, without the slightest anger, and he reached out to help Ding Fan pour a glass of water.

But Ding Fan could see that her heart was not as calm as it seemed to be, after all, it was her family, and the water cup handed over was trembling all the time, but it was just restraint on the surface.

"I know what you mean, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask! I must tell you everything I know, I just hope I won't disappoint them this time!"

Xu Ming said as he turned his head and glanced at the ranking of the enshrinement at home.

The above is the family of five who were killed that year, and the incense around it seems to have never been broken.

"I've seen the scene today, and to be honest, I don't think it's a vendetta, as if the murderer didn't want to kill from the beginning, but had another purpose. ”

Ding Fan glanced at Captain Zhao, who was fidgeting on the side, turned his head, and asked Xu Ming: "There are many traces of being turned over at the scene, after the incident, did you find that there was anything missing in the house?"

Xu Ming recalled the events of the year, and could see that she thought very carefully, but in the end she shook her head.

"There's nothing on my sister's side, and they don't usually live anywhere, my parents

The old house is in disrepair, the house will leak as soon as the rainy season comes, that year my sister paid for the old couple to repair the house, and asked her parents to live with her for a few days, his house has just been cleaned up, and he plans to move over, a few days ago has moved some things over, valuable things have been sent over, in fact, there is nothing there at all. ”

The house Xu Ming said should be the place where she lives now, it seems that the space is not small, not to mention the courtyard outside, just say that the house, whether it is the size or decoration, is also good in the county.

If someone is running for money, it seems to make perfect sense.

In this way, the conditions in Xu Li's home should have been good. ”

The family has a house, there is a shop outside, I heard that there was a truck at that time, which is in a county town, it should be considered a good life, such a family, indeed a little bit of a thief.

Xu Ming also seemed to understand what Ding Fan meant, nodded and said: "My brother-in-law's family left early, there is no way to take over, since he was a child, he followed a few fellow villagers to work in the south, and when he came back, he made some money, opened a hardware store in the town, and after marrying my sister, I heard that he was still copying something, it seems to have made some money, and he bought a second-hand truck outside, which is usually used for delivery and the like, and it is indeed relatively wealthy in the county." ”

"Zhou Xiaowu followed the trend to speculate in stocks outside, and he did make some money, and when he came back, he told a few friends about it, and some people followed and bought some outside, most of them made some money, and I also bought some at that time. ”

Xu Ming obviously didn't understand Zhou Xiaowu's set, and he didn't know what the so-called stock speculation meant, but Captain Zhao knew a little bit about it, and explained it to Ding Fan.

In fact, the term stock speculation is not a new thing, it has been popular as early as a few years ago, but generally speaking, it is a larger city to have a complete stock trading center, such as Baiyun County, a small county, five years ago I am afraid few people knew about this thing.

Unexpectedly, this Zhou Xiaowu also has a bit of brains, worthy of being a person who has been in the south for a few years.

"By the way, Sister Xu, can you help me think about it, have you counted all the relics of your family, is there anything missing?"

At first, Ding Fan didn't think too much about this direction, after all, Captain Zhao said at the beginning that Xu Wenshan's family was actually not rich, and I am afraid that thieves and robbers would not choose such a person to do it.

But after listening to Xu Ming's words, Ding Fan felt that this might be quite big.

No, from the very beginning, this case was investigated in the wrong direction because of Captain Zhao's preconceptions.

"Nothing is missing, my dad has a fountain pen, which has always been the most cherished treasure of his old man, although it is broken, but it is still there, but the pen cover is missing. My mother has been a simple person all her life, never wearing jewelry, and she has nothing of value...... Eh, when you say that, I seem to remember, my sister originally had a gold ring on her hand, and my sister had worn it before, because they were husband and wife, doing hardware business, and often reached out to take some iron objects, and the gold ring on my brother-in-law's hand was rarely worn, saying that it was afraid of wear and tear, and it was generally at home, and I saw it two days ago, but there was only one ring left, and my sister's one was not found, comrade, would it be lost?"

Gold Ring!

As soon as Ding Fan heard this, he immediately recalled in his mind the photos of the deceased he had seen before, and Xu Li didn't seem to have a ring on her hand.

This metal thing, unlike others, as long as it is on the hand, there will always be reflective points when taking pictures.

But Ding Fan remembers very well that there doesn't seem to be this thing on Xu Li's photo.
