At that time, everyone was very surprised. They didn’t know why Li Tianle asked someone to take a photo of the dog. Only then did they suddenly realize: It turned out that the dog owned by the murdered old man was the first “witness” at the scene of the murder!
When everyone thought about the investigation clues, it was because the second-hand dealer's wife was avoiding a big dog that led to the car accident, and suddenly a realization dawned on her: Could it be that the culprit that caused the second-hand dealer's wife to lose control of her car was the elderly man who was killed?
dog?
Moreover, according to neighbors, the murdered old man did not go out all morning. The real reason that aroused the suspicion of the neighbors and reported the crime was the irritated barking of the big dog. In addition, the neighbors also confirmed that the dog seemed to be hit by something the next day.
However, there were obvious scars on the right hind leg, and the leg was obviously lame when walking.
Director Liu and the others could not help but tremble with shock when they thought of this: The murdered old man ordered his dog to take revenge!
"It was this dog. I remember it very clearly. This dog's tail was fiery red, and it was like a line of fire when it was running. It was precisely because the dog ran in front of the car that I instinctively turned the steering wheel, which ultimately led to the car accident.
If it happens, I will recognize this dog even if it turns to ashes!" The second-hand dealer's wife pointed at the photo with a pale face.
Li Tianle looked at the emotional used goods dealer's wife and said in a more serious tone: "Not only is this dog, but there are also drugs in your husband's body, which poses a great threat to your husband's health, these are the real dangers.
The culprit who killed your husband!"
"Police officer, please catch this murderer to comfort my husband's spirit in heaven!" The second-hand dealer's wife eagerly grabbed Li Tianle's sleeve and begged in a mournful voice.
"Yes, but it requires your cooperation!" Li Tianle said helplessly to the used goods dealer's wife as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
"Just tell me what to do, and I will definitely do it." The second-hand dealer's wife said urgently. For her, as long as she could prove that her husband was plotted against her, and it was not her fault that caused his death, that would be the best solution.
A good result, otherwise she would be under too much mental pressure.
"Let me ask you. Did your husband, a used goods dealer, bring back an old landscape painting a few days ago? This painting was the real cause of your husband's death." Li Tianle said with a calm expression and a firm tone.
Director Liu and the others were stunned: This so-called Detective Li didn’t tell a single truth, he was just lying. How could he be helping others? Is he simply asking people to give up their stolen goods? Isn’t it possible that Detective Li was not afraid of this woman too?
An accomplice, or even the mastermind, thus alerting her?
In fact, Director Liu and the others were worried for nothing, because of Li Tianle's abnormal hearing and observation ability. Whether the second-hand dealer's wife was an accomplice could not escape his eyes.
"Yes, yes, I'll get it right away." The woman rushed into the room without waiting for Li Tianle to say anything else. Soon she was holding a well-preserved picture album. After on-site appraisal, it was confirmed that
The calligraphy and painting of the murdered old man.
"Well, it's this calligraphy and painting that caused trouble. But... there's another thing. I need your and your family's help." Li Tianle handed the calligraphy and painting to Director Liu who stretched his head over to check, and then faced
Lu Nanse said to the used goods dealer's wife.
"No matter what it is, as long as it can help us catch the murderer, our family will definitely do it." The second-hand dealer's wife said with a firm expression.
"After dissecting your husband's body and finding relevant evidence in your husband's stomach, the truth will be revealed and the criminal will be arrested." Li Tianle said with certainty.
At this time, Director Liu and others suddenly realized that Detective Li was going to dissect the stomach of the used goods dealer to determine whether there were any residues of the murdered old man's stewed beef in his body.
Because the second-hand dealer died in an accident on the night of the old man's murder. If he had eaten the beef stewed by the murdered old man, it would have been impossible for him to be completely digested and absorbed. What's more, Li Tianle also asked someone to inspect the plate of beef.
, which proves that it contains old ginseng ingredients that are difficult to absorb instantly.
The dissection of the corpse of a junk dealer is not something that the junk dealer's wife can decide alone. After all, it is taboo to operate a knife on a dead person.
For this reason, the second-hand dealer's wife held a family meeting. When the second-hand dealer's family heard that such a thing happened, they quickly agreed to dissect the second-hand dealer's body. They thought that the body would be needed after a while anyway.
After cremation, what does the autopsy have to do with it? The most important thing to do is to find the "real murderer" and let the deceased rest in peace.
So under Li Tianle's deception, the body was moved to the special morgue of the funeral home for on-site autopsy.
In fact, when Director Liu and the others thought about it, Li Tianle was simply idle and unnecessary. Finding the calligraphy and painting in the used goods dealer's house was enough to prove that the used goods dealer was the murderer. What else was there to do with the autopsy?
After Li Tianle solved the puzzle, everyone knew what the purpose of doing this was. Because the used goods dealer died when his wife lost control of the car while driving, so psychologically, his wife would have serious self-blame, thinking that it was herself.
Killed her husband.
What's more, the parents and brothers of used goods dealers will definitely criticize their wives. In such a situation, if his wife is a mentally fragile person, she will most likely collapse.
At this time, if the law is brutally enforced, his wife will definitely become the target of public criticism of his family. At that time, if another life incident occurs, wouldn't it be difficult to solve it?
Li Tianle let the secondhand dealer and his family make the decision, which freed the secondhand dealer and his wife and prevented a greater tragedy from happening.
Director Liu and the others heard this and sighed in their hearts that Li Tianle was really thoughtful and could consider even such small details so thoughtfully. Detective Li really lived up to his reputation.
The autopsy of the second-hand dealer's body went smoothly. The forensic doctor easily obtained the ingredients of beef and old ginseng in the second-hand dealer's body. At this time, Li Tianle called the second-hand dealer's family and all the police officers involved in the case to the funeral home for a meeting.
Go up and tell everything openly and honestly.
Through Li Tianle's description, the death of the used goods dealer, the cause of death of the murdered old man, and the detailed process were presented one by one.
The deceased's used goods dealer learned from some special channels that there was a calligraphy and painting in the victim's old man's home. After others described it, he thought it was worth some money, so he went to the old man's home to buy it.
In order to gain the trust of the murdered old man, specially trained second-hand dealers put on foot covers and special gloves outside the old man's door. On the one hand, this was to show that he would not stain the floor tiles, calligraphy and paintings of the murdered old man, and on the other hand,
People also said that he is a very particular person and is not an ordinary used goods dealer.
This situation is why the Baocheng County police could not find any footprints or handprints.
But when the used goods dealer entered the victim's home, the victim refused to buy it. When he saw the old man living alone in a deep house, he had evil thoughts and used cruel methods to murder the old man and obtain the calligraphy and painting.
The murdered old man was tearing and resisting, and pulled the bracelet off the used goods dealer's wrist, but the used goods dealer was completely unaware of this. Only when he was leaving did he find the bracelet in a pool of blood, so he picked it up and took it away.
Later, because the bracelet was stained with the blood of the murdered old man, he felt it was inappropriate to sell it. This was the result of Wu Dazhi's investigation about the bracelet.
Just when the second-hand dealer returned to pick up the painting, the dying old man suddenly looked back and found a business card dropped by the second-hand dealer on the ground. So he used his last strength to kick it to the foot of the closet, hoping to leave a clue for the people who solved the case. And this
The clue was exactly the clue that Li Tianle personally led the team to investigate and obtained from the printing agency.
After getting the calligraphy and painting, the used goods dealer saw a bowl of freshly stewed beef on the table. He was so greedy that he ate a few pieces and then fled. - However, the cautious used goods dealer, when eating beef,
The lips did not touch the chopsticks, but only the beef.
This is the real reason why the beef has been eaten but there is no body fluid. The above is also the reason why the Baocheng County police feel strange.
But what the second-hand dealer never expected at that time was that the beef stewed by the murdered old man contained old native ginseng, a tonic that can nourish the body of the old man.
It would be fine for a normal person to eat it, but the junk dealer happened to be anemic. What's even more coincidental is that ginseng has the function of thinning blood, which made the junk dealer feel uncomfortable after taking ginseng nutrients, so he asked his wife to drive him to the hospital.
see a doctor.
——But while driving, a dog suddenly jumped out from the side of the road. My wife instinctively turned the steering wheel and bumped into the road sign. The broken road sign shattered the front windshield and reached into the cab, taking out the old things in the passenger seat.
Most of the dealer's head was cut off, causing him to die suddenly on the spot.
What's even more bizarre is that the road sign that caused the car crash had just been erected in the morning of the accident, but the car crashed in the evening.
At this time, the family of the used goods dealer also realized that what Li Tianle said was true. It was indeed not his wife who killed the used goods dealer, but the calligraphy and painting, old man's ginseng, the dog, and even the road sign on the roadside.
.
But when it comes to it, the person who really killed the used goods dealer was himself. If he brutally killed the old man without seeing the money, he would not have become physically ill from eating the old man's beef, nor would he have provoked the old man's dog.
Not to mention going to the hospital for treatment due to illness, and being blocked by a dog and causing a car crash.
But all of this seems to be destined. The causal relationship mentioned in Buddhism is bizarrely evolved here. Everything seems to be the cause of "murder" planted by the used goods dealer, resulting in the bizarre death.
Same.
If explained in a scientific way, it is what people often call the butterfly effect.
A seemingly insignificant action or choice will lead to the continuous transformation of cause and effect, mutual influence and promotion, and gradually significant changes will occur, the ending will become beyond recognition, and can even determine a person's fate or life or death.
