C76

There are two roads leading to the rubbish dump, one of which leads through the cemetery. Normally, people rarely walked in that direction. There was an intersection near the cemetery. There was a camera installed at the intersection.

A total of six people had entered the crime scene to investigate the video footage. With the help of the local police, the six were immediately called over. For most people, when suddenly asked what they had done on a particular day more than twenty days ago, they usually do not immediately give an accurate answer. Therefore, Ding Wei thought that the person who could say exactly what he had done might be the suspect, since he had already mentally prepared himself to compile a story for future questioning or interrogation. Ding Wei quickly excluded those who did not know what he was doing that day, thus reducing the range of suspects to three people, who were able to describe their actions on that day in detail.

One said that he had been running for three years on a short cut from here to the opposite road, except for the wind and rain. In his memory, it had not rained for nearly a month. So he said without thinking that he knew what he had done. It was hard to walk here, but when he was asked for details, he couldn't remember. He said he did it every day.

When Ding Wei asked the man and woman to recall July 8th, what were they doing here? The two of them answered hesitantly, a seemingly unrelated man and woman, but in fact, there were expressions passing between them.

Ding Wei immediately focused his attention on the couple. He asked them point-blank if they were men and women, but the answer was an unhesitatingly categorical negation, as if they had been prepared to answer the question. From their evasive looks, Ding Wei concluded that their relationship was not ordinary.

"If you don't tell the truth, this is a criminal case, and there may be some trouble involved with you. By then, you'll want to clarify that no one will have the patience to listen to your detailed explanations."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." "We were both married," the woman said at last, "but we had a soft spot for each other because we weren't very happy with our marriage. We only dated here that night, and we left before twelve."

"Did you find anything unusual in the cemetery or did you find out that the victim was here?"

Ding Wei showed them the photo of Li Youchun.

"Yes, this man came at six o'clock in the afternoon. It was very late by then, and he must have had some wine. He went to a grave in front of him, sat down on the grass, and said something to himself, and burned some paper money. The place is not normally visited by tourists. It was half a mile from where we were dating. In order not to be seen, we approached the cemetery from the path beside it, and saw it in passing. When we came back, we didn't dare to go there because it was too late, so we really didn't know what was going on in that place. "

"Apart from that, what else do you see? As long as you see it in the vicinity, you can tell me."

"There's also a homeless person who often sleeps in that place." The woman pointed to a grass patch under a tree not far from the cemetery. "There's a long stone slab there. It's a good place to sleep at night."

"Often?"

"He had a bag containing a thin quilt that he could sleep on the floor. The bag can be propped up with four sticks and used as a tent. "

"What did the wanderer look like?"

"His beard is all over his face, half of it is rapidly turning yellow, and his back is slightly bowed. Right, his feet are a bit big, and he wears a pair of big ball shoes." The man said.

"I haven't seen him wearing those sneakers in the past few days. He's wearing a pair of worn-out cloth shoes instead." The woman added.

This description immediately reminded Dingwei of the vagabonds he had seen in the dumpster.

"You see him around here a lot, don't you?"

"Yes, I remember a time when the wanderer was beaten by a college student who lived not far from here."

"What's going on?"

"It was when the homeless guy was sleeping that the university student mischievously approached him and put an ant in his ear. The homeless guy woke up and rolled his eyes at the university student, who probably found a place to read a book and then rolled away, causing the homeless guy to spit at him in dissatisfaction. So the university student hit him, causing him to bleed profusely."

"Do you know the college student?"

The woman pointed in the direction of Hunan Institute of Education and said, "He rented that house and later found a girlfriend and went to live with her."

It turned out that the vagrant person was the poor university student who rented a house. Why would there be a body in his room? Was it done by a wanderer? Judging by the size of the shoes worn, as well as the time and place, it was highly probable that the homeless had committed the crime. If it's true that the vagabonds killed a college student in retaliation, or carried a corpse to his room, is it true that he murdered Lee You-chun? If so, what was the motive for the wanderer's killing of Lee You-chun?

Ding Wei quickly found out the identity of the rent guest. The tenant was Li Chunhua, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. His hair was combed very well and his shoes were very shiny. Asked if he was a student of Hunan Education, he said that he was a former student of Hunan Normal University and had been treated by the school for a small fight with his classmates. The purpose of this trip to Hunan was to obtain an undergraduate diploma on the one hand, and to take the opportunity to study hard in preparation for the Central South University Graduate Admission Examination next year on the other. He was at a loss when Ding Wei told him that there was a male corpse at the place he rented.

"I haven't lived there for over a month." Li Chunhua said, "The corpse has nothing to do with me."

"Then why don't you hand in your room key to the landlord?"

"It's gone. I think I won't be staying anyways. The landlord deducted my rent for a month."

"Did you hit a wanderer?"

"Yes, he spat on me, and was angry when he stained my clean shirt."

"Did anything happen between you and him after that?"

"Nope."

"Think about it. Did he say anything to you?"

"Yes, I did. He said don't be complacent, one day you will be as unlucky as me." Li Chunhua said, "Now that I think about it, it might have something to do with the body. He moved the body to where I was staying because he wanted to blame me or scare me, but luckily I didn't live there anymore. "

"How did he know where you were staying?"

"The wanderer goes everywhere, and sometimes he goes north to the vegetable patch, where there are rents or garbage, and he checks for junk."

"Have you seen this person before?" Ding Wei showed him the photo of Li Youchun.

"Yeah, I seem to have seen it before."

"Where?"

"I can't remember."

"Think about it."

"Hmm, I remember now. I remembered that I touched him at an intersection, and then the key disappeared from my body and my phone. I remember going to look for him, but I didn't find him after walking around the homeless. "

"Did you go to the cemetery to see him?"

"No, I don't think anyone would go to that sort of place?"

"The man was murdered?"

"What?" Was it hurt by someone? "

"And the body was left in your room."

"Do you suspect me? Why would I want to kill him when I have no enmity with him? "

"Do you know how the body got into your room?"

Li Chunhua was so scared that he continuously retreated a few steps, "It must be done by a wanderer."

"It was opened with your key and moved in."

"Huh?"

"If the dead man had stolen your keys because he hit you, he wouldn't have moved himself into your rental house after he died, would he?"

"You — you still suspect me?"

"It's not that you doubt your character, it's that you've lied about the key. If you don't make the key clear, the police will be the first to suspect that the murderer was you. "
