Chapter 51 Mysterious Note
"What device caused the red light arhat that night? Hasn't the device been found?" Han Yun asked.
"No equipment was found at the scene, and the villagers said they did see the Red Light Arhat riding a deer falling from the sky, but the murderer was not caught. Later, we reported the incident to the Qingwan Police Station. A few days later, more than a dozen people came and questioned the villagers. They even conducted a detailed investigation of the villagers in several nearby villages." Director Zhao of Lijia Village paused on the phone, and then continued: "Later, the murderer was not found, but a deer was found."
"Found a deer?" Han Yun wondered.
"Yes, the deer was found on a nearby barren mountain. The deer was missing an antler. The investigation team compared the antler used to kill Li Liangmin with the missing part of the deer and confirmed that the antler did belong to the deer. But who took the antler off and stuck it into Li Liangmin is still a mystery." Director Zhao sighed, "Then the investigation team went back. In fact, I have been following up on this case over the years, and I would conduct visits and investigations whenever I had time. After all, more than 20 years have passed. However, I firmly believe that the murderer is definitely not from this village."
"The murderer is not from this village. We have also conducted investigations in neighboring villages. This is really a bit strange." Han Yun took a deep breath and said, "Director Zhao, I guess you don't know that a murder case recently occurred in Beidu. The modus operandi is very similar to the case that happened in Lijia Village that year. It was also an Arhat who descended to the world, but it was an Arhat holding an iron bowl, and the murder weapon was also an iron bowl."
"Could such a thing happen?" Director Zhao was a little surprised: "But it has been 20 years since the Lijia Village incident. Could the murderer be the same person?"
"It's unlikely that the murderer is the same person, but it can't be ruled out." Han Yun stood up, walked to the blackboard wall, stared at it and said, "Director Zhao will definitely not be able to guess who the deceased is. You know this person, he used to be a resident of your village, his name is Xu Wenbin."
"It turned out to be him..." Director Zhao on the phone was even more surprised: "More than 20 years ago, Li Liangmin and Xu Wenbin had a conflict. I remember Xu Wenbin was still a child at that time."
"Is there a conflict between them?" Han Yun frowned.
"Yes, at that time, Xu Wenbin's parents were working in other places, and there was a piece of land at home. His grandparents rented it out, that is, to Li Liangmin, but in name it was rented, but Li Liangmin was forcibly occupying it and didn't pay a penny. Once, Xu Wenbin's parents came back to Li Liangmin to reason and ask for money, but they were beaten up. Xu Wenbin, who was only a teenager at the time, saw his parents being bullied, so he ran to Li Liangmin's house that night and set a fire. Fortunately, the fire was not big and was controlled after being discovered by the villagers." Director Zhao recalled this past event and said: "I was assigned to Lijia Village that year, and I also dealt with the two of them. In addition to burning the house, Xu Wenbin also smashed Li Liangmin's windows with stones in the middle of the night. Li Liangmin also knew that he did it, and he blocked him and beat him up, but Li Wenbin was the kind of person who would not obey no matter how he was beaten, and he still tried all kinds of ways. In the end, Li Liangmin had no choice but to take out the rent money."
"The two of them had an encounter more than 20 years ago, but both died at the hands of Red Light Arhat?" Han Yun frowned even more tightly: "Director Zhao, if there is any new progress on your side, you must inform me. Just call this number."
"Xu Wenbin has no relatives in Lijia Village except for his registered residence here. We haven't seen him for many years. There are many young people like Xu Wenbin in our village. I can check this out." Director Zhao said thoughtfully on the phone: "I will notify you as soon as there is any news."
"That's it for now." Han Yun hung up the phone and wrote down Lijia Village and the feud between Li Liangmin and Xu Wenbin on the blackboard. Then he stepped back and stared at the blackboard, thinking, could it be that he was wrong, and the murderer actually knew the deceased? If so, did Li Liangmin and Xu Wenbin offend someone together?
No, this is a logical vicious circle. Perhaps the murderer chose to kill Xu Wenbin and regarded Xu Wenbin as the first murderer, just to make the police fall into this logical vicious circle. Once in this vicious circle, they will never be able to find out who the murderer is. Han Yun shook his head, walked forward, circled all the words on the blackboard wall with a big circle, and then threw away the chalk.
At this time, the phone beside him rang, and Han Yun walked over to check. It was a WeChat message from Su Mo. After the last case, Han Yun didn't say anything about Su Mo's use of his report, and he had no responsibility, but he didn't care. What's more, he had told Su Mo in advance not to mention him in the report, but Su Mo did it privately without his consent.
Han Yun ignored the WeChat message from Su Mo, turned around and picked up the bowl to continue eating noodles. Su Mo sent several messages in a row, and then the phone rang. Han Yun glanced and saw that it was also Su Mo who called. It seemed that there was something urgent, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and picked up the phone. He took a deep breath and answered it. Before he could say anything, Su Mo took the lead and said, "Did you see the WeChat message I sent?"
"I haven't had time to look yet." Han Yun explained and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Just now, when I was coming back from overtime at the company and entering the community, someone bumped into me. The other person kept apologizing, but I didn't pay much attention. When I went upstairs, I found a folded note in my pocket, which said 'Forward to Han Yun'." Su Mo said on the phone: "I thought about it, since it's for you, it's not convenient for me to open it."
"A note for me?" Han Yun was puzzled. Who would ask Su Mo to pass the note to me in this way?
"I took a picture and sent it to you on WeChat. Please take a look at it." Su Mo said and hung up the phone.
Han Yun opened WeChat and saw a picture of a folded square piece of paper with the words "Forward to Han Yun" written on it in ballpoint pen. What could be inside? Han Yun thought about it and replied to Su Mo on WeChat: "Please open it for me."
Su Mo did not reply until Han Yun finished the last few mouthfuls of noodles and drank a mouthful of soup, and WeChat beeped again. He quickly took the phone and saw another picture message from Su Mo. He clicked on it to enlarge the picture. On the unwrapped note was a line of words, "See you at 11pm, Haoshiwei Food Factory." If it was just these few words, Han Yun would think it was a prank by someone, or a fan who liked him deliberately used this method to attract his attention, and would not pay attention.
However, below this line of small words, there is a horizontal bar, and a name is written after the horizontal bar.
——Qin Xiang.
