Just now, Chen Xiaobei asked Cui Banxian if he had seen anyone go to Chen Anbang's house or pass by his door.
Cui Banxian's answer was that he didn't see anyone.
This answer may not seem like much at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, there is a problem.
This shows that Cui Banxian once passed by the door of Chen Anbang's house, otherwise he would have said that I have never been there and I don't know.
Another point is that he didn't say anything. Cui Banxian had already asked himself very vigilantly if he thought he had harmed Chen Anbang, which showed that he had a guilty conscience.
So even if Cui Banxian was not the murderer who hurt Chen Anbang, he probably had some discord with Chen Anbang.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei walking away, Cui Banxian felt a little panicked. He didn't expect Chen Ping to dare to report to the official.
The most terrible thing is that someone saw him going to Hetou Village.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Cui Banxian gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He couldn't stay here for a long time. The thirty-six tactics were the best.
Thinking of this, Cui Banxian hurriedly went back to the house and took some clothes with him, and also wrapped up the few taels of silver he had saved so hard.
Carrying this burden, Cui Banxian hurried out of the village.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei returned to Hetou Village.
I saw He Laoqi sitting under the big locust tree, helpless.
After asking several village protection team members, I found out that He Laoqi and his people had almost interviewed all the villagers in Hetou Village, but they did not find any useful clues.
This situation was actually expected by Chen Xiaobei.
Sometimes when you are walking on the road, if there is a figure in the distance, if you look back and ask you, you can't answer it at all.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, He Laoqi just nodded symbolically and did not speak.
Chen Xiaobei sat down next to him, "He Captou, I just went to Cuijiazhuang to talk to Cui Banxian, and I think there are indeed a lot of doubts about him."
Upon hearing this, He Laoqi suddenly stood up.
Now Cui Banxian has become He Laoqi's life-saving straw. After searching the entire Hetou Village, there were no clues, so he was naturally very excited when he heard that the fortune teller was suspicious.
This sudden performance shocked Chen Xiaobei.
"He Captou, what do you mean?"
He Laoqi looked impatient, "Since there is a suspicion, it is natural to go and investigate clearly."
"Cui Banxian's home is easy to find. It's not far from the village. There are a few huts on the north side of the road." Chen Xiaobei picked up a branch and planned to draw a sketch on the ground.
Unexpectedly, He Laoqi reached out and grabbed his arm, "Brother Xiaobei, take me there. Let's examine this Cui Banxian clearly."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull Chen Xiaobei out.
As soon as they entered the village, they were greeted by the village guards from Cuijiazhuang.
He bowed and bowed to He Laoqi again, with a respectful look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but sigh.
The arrival of He Laoqi, a civil servant, is indeed different and gives him more face.
When I came here by myself just now, no one paid any attention to me.
He Laoqi nodded to the village protection team and said loudly, "Where is Cui Banxian's home? Take me to find him."
When the village guard heard this, his face was full of astonishment. He looked at He Laoqi and said with a hint of apology, "Captain He, I'm really sorry. Cui Banxian left the village just now and said he was going to tell people's fortunes. "
When he heard this, Chen Xiaobei became anxious. This was just a matter of absconding out of fear of crime.
He Laoqi obviously understood, asked for the direction, and hurriedly followed with his men.
After Cui Banxian left the village, he trotted forward, but he was an old man after all, and he ran out of breath after not running very far.
After not walking very far, he couldn't run anymore and sat on a stone by the roadside, breathing heavily.
From a distance, I saw Chen Xiaobei leading people to chase him out.
Cui Banxian complained secretly and looked around. By chance, there was a bush on the side of the road, and he got into it without saying a word.
Chen Xiaobei had actually seen it a long time ago.
Having said that, even if you can't see it at first, if you get into the bushes and the branches sway, no one can see it.
He Laoqi waved his hand. Several policemen rushed forward and dragged Cui Banxian out like a dog to death.
"Everyone, everyone, what are you doing?" Cui Banxian's face was full of panic.
He Laoqi asked solemnly, "Cui Banxian, where are you going?"
Cui Banxian smiled obsequiously, "Sir, I am a fortune teller. Of course, I am at home all over the world, and I don't know where I am going."
Bullshit, this is complete bullshit.
Chen Xiaobei stood up immediately, "Cui Banxian, stop pretending. I'll go find you to find out the situation. If you run away, there must be something wrong."
Cui Banxian once again showed off his acting skills, "This official, as the saying goes, if you don't belong to the family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are."
After saying that, he wiped his tears and started crying.
"My old man is all alone and has not eaten his last meal. If I don't go out to tell people's fortunes, I will be hungry."
This tnd is really nonsense.
Of course He Laoqi would not believe such nonsense.
"Cui Banxian, I now suspect that you have something to do with Chen Anbang's death. You have to come with me."
Cui Banxian pointed at Chen Xiaobei and spoke, "I told Captain Xiaobei just now that I didn't see anything. What else do you want me to say?"
Chen Xiaobei hummed, "Someone saw you walking past Chen Anbang's door, right?"
He Laoqi looked at Chen Xiaobei and thought to himself, why didn't I find this witness?
But when he saw Chen Xiaobei blinking at him, He Laoqi instantly understood that this was deception.
Sure enough, Cui Banxian was anxious, "I passed by his door, but that doesn't mean anything."
"Then why didn't you tell me when I asked you?" Chen Xiaobei stared at Cui Banxian coldly.
"This. This. I'm nervous for a moment, nervous for a moment." Cui Banxian said. The sweat on my forehead fell.
He Laoqi couldn't help it anymore, "Then let me ask you again, you were just passing by, why did you run away?"
"Sir, as I just said, I'm going to tell people's fortunes."
Chen Xiaobei pointed to the baggage on his back, "For fortune telling, what did you bring?"
He Laoqi waved his hand, and someone came forward to take off the baggage from his back, and opened it to reveal several pieces of clothing.
When the clothes shook, the copper coins and silver all fell down.
"Do I still need to bring this with me when I go out for fortune telling?" Chen Xiaobei asked coldly.
At first, He Laoqi was doubtful about what Cui Banxian said just now, but when he saw the money falling out, he understood that he was really going to run away.
It is unreasonable to bring so much money with you when you go out to tell fortunes.
"Cui Banxian, how can anyone go out with a piece of silver to tell fortunes? You are clearly trying to escape."
He Laoqi waved his hand, "Take him back and interrogate him strictly."
Soon, Cui Banxian was tied under the big locust tree in Hetou Village.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ping came with people.
"Cui Banxian, give my grandfather his life." Chen Ping shouted, waving the kitchen knife in his hand and rushing forward.
When Chen Xiaobei saw this, he quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Brother Chen Ping, don't worry, let's wait for He to be interrogated first."
