Chapter 52 Footprints on the Snow
There is a very wide floor in the house, with a tattered carpet covering it. However, the carpet that should be flat is very messy, with many wrinkles and raised areas, and there are also many wet marks from the melted snow. The living room is in front. One room was in a messy state, with two chairs broken, the table toppled to the floor, and there were many fragments of window glass and vases on the floor.
"Maybe the fight was very severe, oops! The big clock is also crooked!" Shi Anbao turned the big clock over and observed the positions of the long and short hands.
"Eleven o'clock, twelve, this is the time for fighting."
"In that case, it happens to be the time when the snow stops! Mr. Security."
Lang Xiaobai thought for a moment and then continued, "But we have been here for a long time, why haven't we seen Jiang Zhize and Su Fengnan? Where did they go?"
"Something is wrong! Mr. Lang, I want to go up to the second floor to check. You can come too!"
"OK!"
"You guys are guarding downstairs." Shi Anbao ordered his two men. Then, he walked upstairs, followed closely by Lang Xiaobai.
"Oh my God! It's a mess here!"
Shi Anbao muttered. The door of the residence above the second floor was beaten beyond recognition, and there was no one inside. There was no sign of Jiang Zhize and Su Fengnan. There was a big iron hammer under their bed. It was probably the instrument that destroyed the door.
The two then walked down the stairs and came to the kitchen in front of the corridor. There was nothing unusual here.
There was a side door in the kitchen, and they went outside from there. There was a narrow open space there. There was an old well in the corner of the open space.
"I'm afraid this well is the reason why Well Garden got its name, right?"
The ground is covered with snow, and there are traces of heavy things dragging across the snow. There are also many messy shoe prints beside the well. It seems that an extremely fierce fight took place here. There are both clumsy and large footprints and small ones. And the delicate footprints.
"These footprints were left by Jiang Zhize." Shi Anbao lowered his head and looked at the footprints on the snow. No, there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. They were the same as the footprints inside and outside the door, and the shapes of the nails on the heels were exactly the same.
"But whose footprints are there other than those?"
The footprints appeared from the well and extended into the orchard over there. Then, they followed the footprints and walked about 30 meters. They saw a gun buried in the snow. Shi Anbao took it from his pocket. He took out a handkerchief and picked up the gun quickly, avoiding leaving his fingerprints on it.
The puzzling footprints extended straight to the fence at the top of the orchard, then crossed the fence and continued to move far ahead.
So, the two men stopped following the footsteps, turned around and returned to the living room, and then showed the witnesses the pistol they had picked up. A farmer said, "Ah, this pistol seems to belong to Jin Hao."
"How did you find out?"
"I'm not sure this pistol is indeed his, but I saw him trying to get this pistol in a restaurant in town last time."
"You said last time, which day was it? Do you still remember which day it was?"
"Well, that day happened to be a market day in the town. At that time, Jin Hao also came to the restaurant. It is said that the gun holster had a thread, so he took it to the old cobbler to repair it. Unfortunately, the cobbler was not at home and the store door was closed. , he gave the holster to the manager of the restaurant and entrusted him to the old cobbler to repair it. That gun is exactly the same as this gun, what do you think?" He turned his head to his other partner.
"That's pretty much it."
The farmer said the same thing, and such testimony is very important. There were seven bullets in the gun, and three were fired.
"Three shots... three gunshots... the time of the fight was eleven twelve. At that time, the snow had stopped falling, so the footprints on the snow had not moved at all." Lang Xiaobai thought to himself,
"Then, Jin Hao's pistol was found on the snow - but, well, wait a minute, this alone cannot be used to conclude that Jin Hao is the murderer! Even though there was a gunshot, no body was found! Not to mention there is another
Things are unpredictable.”
"Mr. Lang, Jin Hao is the murderer. There should be no doubt about this, right?"
"What's the reason?"
Shi Anbao said: "There is all the evidence, including pistols, footprints and fights... And Jin Hao is against Jiang Zhize's wife Su Fengnan... So Jiang Zhize hates him very much. At the same time, they are enemies of each other. In order to prevent himself from being beaten by the old drunkard, Jin Hao
The father and son killed each other, so he always carried a pistol with him. The night before, when Jiang Zhize was drinking at the house of his old alcoholic father, Jin Hao took the opportunity to have a tryst with Su Fengnan, but was accidentally caught by Jiang Zhize who came home drunk.
Jiang Zhize used his drunken energy to fight with Jin Hao in the living room, leaving traces of a struggle in the living room. Jiang Zhize, who was drunk, could not defeat Jin Hao, and Jin Hao hated Jiang Zhize's abuse of Su Fengnan.
, so unless he doesn’t fight, he will be beaten to death. After a while, Jiang Zhize escaped from the side door of the kitchen and ran to the snow, but was chased by Jin Hao again. So, the two people started fighting next to the well. Finally, Jin Hao
Finally, he pulled out his pistol and fired, then threw Jiang Zhize, who was shot dead, into the well, jumped over the fence and escaped. This is my theory."
Shi Anbao said proudly.
But Lang Xiaobai was smiling quietly. "Your inference is very reasonable, but is the reality really what you said?"
There is a very wide floor in the house, with a tattered carpet covering it. However, the carpet that should be flat is very messy, with many wrinkles and raised areas, and there are also many wet marks from the melted snow. The living room is in front.
