Di Xue looked carefully and concluded that the dog hole here was smaller than the ventilation opening, and adults could not get out at all, unless the murderer was a child!
Seeing Di Xue frowning and looking troubled, Chu Ran felt anxious. After much thought, he thought that the Wang family girl might have a breakthrough, so he said:
"It's getting late too. Why don't we go back? The Wang family's daughter should wake up by now!"
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue nodded: "Is she okay?"
"It's okay, she was overly worried after being frightened! And someone put a mind-disturbing drug in her diet! If I hadn't given her the injection, she would probably have become dementia-like within three days! "Chu Ran said, clenching his fists.
Di Xue also felt very uncomfortable in her heart. People in the Criminal Department used such despicable means to achieve their goals. Do they really regard human life as nothing in their eyes?
Maybe they don't care about the people at all, they are just tools!
On the road, the two of them rode along the long street, feeling refreshed by the autumn wind. Di Xue couldn't help but speed up. The scenery faded from both sides along the way. The two of them walked side by side, feeling relaxed at this moment.
After a while, the two returned to Dali Temple. The patrolman responsible for taking care of the Wang girl told Di Xue that she had woken up, had just eaten some porridge, and was currently in a daze in the backyard.
Di Xue and Chu Ran walked over gently, and saw the girl from the Wang family sitting on the stone bench, with a thin figure. She was clearly in her early eight years, but she looked like she was only about six years old.
"Xiaoya, what are you thinking about?" Chu Ran walked closer.
"It turns out to be big brother!" Xiaoya said in surprise when she saw some light returning to Chu Ran's eyes.
Di Xue's mouth curled up slightly when she saw Chu Ran coaxing Wang Xiaoya. She was obviously still a shy child, but she was actually very good at teasing people.
Listening to the main topic, Di Xue quickly prepared his pen and ink and started recording.
"My parents were at home that day, and suddenly a man came in and said he was sent by someone from the Zhou family and asked us to discuss compensation.
My parents took my eldest brother with me into the city without much thought, and then..." Wang Xiaoya choked back tears with red eyes.
Chu Ran patted her back gently and said comfortingly: "It's okay. It's all over. Have you seen the sister over there? She is the most powerful detective in Dali Temple and will definitely avenge you!"
Wang Xiaoya looked at Di Xue, and then nodded heavily: "We were brought into the house by that person. The person said to call someone and let us wait here!"
"The people who went to call were from the Zhou family!" Chu Ran said in guidance.
Wang Xiaoya nodded:
"It felt like not long after that, the murderer came in drunk, with a knife in his hand, and then he killed my mother and my eldest brother!"
After saying this, Wang Xiaoya couldn't hold back her tears anymore and started crying.
Di Xue knew that asking now would hurt her, but it had to be done, and it was better to do it once than to uncover the scars repeatedly.
Chu Ran seemed to have the same idea:
"Xiaoya, my brother and sister know that you are sad, but you still don't understand why they died!"
"Brother, I understand. I must see the murderer executed. He must die a good death!"
Wang Xiaoya clenched her fists and said.
Chu Ran nodded, and then said softly:
"Then if my sister asks you, just think carefully and then answer, okay!"
"Well, sister, you ask me!" Wang Xiaoya said, licking her chapped lips.
Di Xue admired Chu Ran in her heart, and then asked Wang Xiaoya:
"Xiaoya, my sister asked you if there were candles burning in the house at that time, who lit them, and what the candles looked like!"
"After entering the house, the person who brought us lit candles, but the candles were blown swaying by the wind. Grandma still found it strange that there were no windows in the house!"
Di Xue nodded, which was exactly what she was thinking:
"The light in the room was dim. When the murderer came in, could you see his face clearly? How did you confirm that the murderer was Zhou Huai!"
Wang Xiaoya thought for a while:
"The candlelight in the room was flickering. The man was very tall and I couldn't see his face, but a moment before he entered the room, someone outside loudly said that Mr. Zhou Huai is here!"
"Then after he opened the door to the house, did he go directly through the kitchen and enter the house?"
"No, he seemed to be lingering in the kitchen for a while, and then I heard the sound of wood hitting, and then the man kicked in the door and killed my parents and brother!"
Wang Xiaoya said, but tears still flowed down her cheeks.
Although Di Xue couldn't bear it, she still asked: "Did he put the sword in the scabbard when he entered the house?"
Wang Xiaoya shook her head:
"No, the sword was drawn out when he entered the house. Before he killed, he waved his right hand in front of my eyes. I clearly saw a mole on his right hand! The uncle who asked before said that the young master of the Zhou family had a mole on his right hand. A mole!"
Di Xue pondered for a while. He had also observed this through questioning Zhou Huai, but the mole was probably displayed deliberately by the murderer to show that he was Zhou Huai.
"How did that man fall down after killing others!"
"I didn't know about this. The candle went out at that time, and soon the officers and soldiers rushed in, and I saw that he had fallen to the ground!"
After hearing this, Di Xue made a judgment in her heart, but she still didn't know something: "When Zhou Huai entered the kitchen, didn't your parents open the inner door to take a look?"
"Yes, but the door couldn't be opened at that time. Then the eldest brother cursed a few times and came back to sit. My parents thought that this was not their home, so they didn't open the door and just waited in the house."
"Then did you meet the murderer, or did you hear any strange noises in the middle?"
Wang Xiaoya lowered her head and thought about it carefully. Suddenly she raised her head and said, "Yes, I seem to have caught the corner of his clothes!"
It was late at night before Di Xue returned to the house. She was so tired that she couldn't swallow her food, so she hurriedly took a few bites and returned to the house.
Upon seeing this, Lao Yang quickly stopped the secret guard who wanted to report.
Di Xue lay tiredly on the bed and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Wang Xiaoya said that she tore the corner of the murderer's clothes, but when Zhou Huai came back from custody, his clothes were clearly intact.
If the murderer was Zhou Huai who was intoxicated by alcohol at the time, it would be impossible for him to be left alive after being grabbed by his clothes.
If the murderer really is someone else, then the purpose of leaving Wang Xiaoya behind is to frame Zhou Huai!
But how did the murderer get out of the house and escape?
What were the footsteps and dull noises that Wang Xiaoya heard after the candles were extinguished?
How to explain the phenomena in the house and the clothes fragments in the toilet?
The wind blew into the room, and the candlelight flickered on and off, causing Di Xue to squint her eyes.
Suddenly she had an idea, candles!
