"Name?"

"Chen Kequn.
"age?"
"60."
"What kind of work are you doing now?"
"What kind of job? I've retired, and I can't do it now."
"It's okay, old man, come up next."
...
Su Ming's previous suggestion.
It has obviously been adopted by Xu Changsheng.
Because after thinking carefully for a few seconds, the experienced Xu Changsheng also agreed with Su Ming's inference.
A suspect capable of committing a second crime on the victim's body.
The residents around the Huainan River are indeed the most likely group no matter how you analyze it.
Plus.
Although there are many uncles and aunties outside the cordon, there are only about ten after excluding those who are too old and those with limited mobility.
so.
Xu Changsheng simply set up a temporary stage.
Wang Hu conducted simple questions one by one, while he and Su Ming stood behind and observed the expressions and attitudes of the people being questioned.
Judging from the crude means of handling the deceased.
This suspect is definitely not very proficient in crime. It is highly likely that by observing the micro-expressions and body movements on his face, he can tell a rough idea.
As the inquiries passed one by one.
There was only one middle-aged man left among the nearby residents who had the possibility of being a suspect, and this man was notified by Xu Changsheng that he wanted to be questioned temporarily.
He hid behind the crowd, seemingly trying to find an opportunity to leave this place.
at the same time.
The order of inquiry was specially arranged to the end.
It’s as if you want to hear what questions are going to be asked and be prepared to respond early.
These two points.
It undoubtedly attracted Su Ming's attention.
...
now.
When this middle-aged man wearing an old sweatshirt, casual trousers, and old-fashioned sandals stepped forward, it was obvious that his economic situation was not good.
Su Ming pressed Wang Hu's shoulders, motioned him not to speak, and then spoke.
"Name?"
This is the same problem as the previous ones.
This undoubtedly made the middle-aged man breathe a sigh of relief, but he still answered slightly nervously.
"Xu Yiguo, my name is Xu Yiguo."
"How old are you?"
"45."
The same goes for the second question.
It undoubtedly made Xu Yiguo more relaxed and prepared the answer to the next question in his mind.
"What did you use to cut off the victim's fingers?"
"I haven't had a job for a long time. I am unemployed and can only collect scraps and do odd jobs on construction sites..."
It was an answer that came out of my mouth.
It suddenly stopped, Xu Yiguo was stunned subconsciously, his hands trembled slightly, and he forced himself to calm down.
"Police...Officer, what question did you just ask...?"
"What cut off? I...how could I cut off her fingers? I have never seen her before. I only saw her today!!!"
"Did you ask the wrong person?"
Seeing that Xu Yiguo was obviously anxious and flustered, Su Ming showed a mocking smile and shrugged.
"Oh? Did you ask the wrong person?"
"You should be able to swim, right? And your water skills are pretty good. You can at least drag someone into the water, right?"
"Have you ever done any work related to corpses, such as slaughtering, firefighting, medical treatment, salvage, etc.?"
As soon as this question came up.
Xu Yiguo's eyes changed obviously. He avoided Su Ming's gaze, and his forehead was even covered with small beads of sweat.
"No, I didn't do it."
"I used to work on the construction site, but later my old... boss fired me, so..."

Before Xu Yiguo could finish speaking.
An aunt who had not dispersed and was still watching the show directly retorted and shouted.
"Xu Yiguo, why are you lying to the police officer here? Didn't you work in the crematorium a few years ago?"
"And because he hid the dead man's jewelry secretly, several family members reported him, and he lost his job, so he has been hanging around until now."
"Have you ever worked on a construction site? Aren't you just doing odd jobs? Oh, I know!"
"Damn it, you don't know how to kill anyone!!!"
Auntie's voice is quite loud.
Immediately, other people watching the show started talking about it, and many relevant clues came out.
"Xu Yiguo really killed someone? No way?"
"Why not? He has a criminal record, stealing jewelry from the deceased in the crematorium!"
"Isn't it just stealing? I heard from others that he owed hundreds of thousands from gambling, so killing someone is normal!"
"By the way, I suddenly remembered that after Xu Yiguo went home in the middle of the night last night, he didn't know what he went out for. Could it be to kill people?"
"Hurry up and catch him. Otherwise, if this kind of person lives near us, we really don't know what will happen. Maybe we will be killed next time!!!"
...
Discussions from people doing good things poured into the ears of Su Ming and the others.
in.
Xu Yiguo owed hundreds of thousands from gambling, was a crematorium worker, had a history of stealing jewelry from deceased persons, and had gone home and out again at midnight last night.
Undoubtedly, it was the one that attracted the most attention from the three of them, and was verified through various clues and intelligence.
It is basically certain...
After the victim was killed, Xu Yiguo committed a second crime!
Not only did they destroy the body and steal important evidence, but they also tied the body with construction debris, possibly hiding traces of the crime for the murderer!
It's obvious.
Su Ming did not ask according to the routine, which completely made all Xu Yiguo's prepared answers useless, not to mention the collective identification of many neighbors!
This moment.
Xu Changsheng, a veteran detective standing in the back, already knew that the first suspect was right in front of him.
Then he stopped being polite and threatened with extremely cold eyes.
"Xu Yiguo."
"I'm giving you one last chance now to hand over what you stole last night and tell me all the details you know about this case."
"Then you still have a chance for a lighter sentence and a reduced sentence."
"Otherwise."
"Even if you are not a murderer, just by hiding the body and destroying the evidence, it is enough to convict you of harboring the crime and make you stay in jail for up to ten years!"
"I'm counting down to three seconds now."
"If you haven't said anything yet, then don't say anything at all. Go directly to the police station and tell us slowly. We will then send people to search your home!"
"three!"
"two!!"
"one!!!"
When Xu Changsheng's three countdowns had just ended.
Xu Yiguo finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure and yelled with some collapse.
"Tell me, tell me, I'll tell you everything!"
"I didn't kill anyone at all. I didn't kill anyone. I just saw her floating on the river. I thought she was dead and the jewelry was useless, so I took it over!"
"I didn't do anything else. Even if I used rocks to hold her down in the water, wouldn't she still be fished out with a fishing rod?"
"I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill her!"
This shout fell.
Xu Changsheng finally let out a breath, took out the silver handcuffs from his waist, cuffed Xu Yiguo's hands directly, and completely controlled his movements.
"Walk!"
"Take us to your house right now, I need to see all the relics you stole from the dead!!!"
