Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"What do you mean? Old comrade, could you explain this to us in detail?"

Hearing the old man inside say such extraordinary information, Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian became excited at the same time!

The two realized that such unexpected information might be the key to solving the case.

After Guo Qian asked this, Li Xiangnan subconsciously tilted his head towards the courtyard and found that the smoke that had been floating in the sky above the courtyard had disappeared. He then glanced at the slanted brick window and saw that the cigarette he had just lit was gone. He smiled and took out another cigarette from his pocket and lit it, saying, "Old comrade, please smoke. Tell us in detail!"

There was a problem with the biogas tank on the 23rd, and Hu Erliu came here alone on the 24th, but no prison guard mentioned this in the early confession.

This is what Li Xiangnan cares about.

Why is there such a difference?

Hu 26 No. 24 came again, but why didn't it attract anyone's attention this time?

And what did the old comrade mean when he said that the person who came was not Hu Erliu?

"That day, Hu Erliu came over after breakfast, carrying a sickle and cutting grass nearby all day. He left at dusk, having worked for about seven or eight hours."

Is Hu Erliu here to cut the grass?

Li Xiangnan frowned and looked back at the 15-meter-wide lawn between the senior prison area and the solitary prison building.

The lawn was indeed neat and low, only as high as a shoe, and showed signs of recent maintenance.

This may be a long-term and very common job. In addition, it is Hu Erliu alone, so the prison guards have been watching his work for a long time and naturally have a filter, so there is indeed a possibility of "turning a blind eye".

Weeding is probably a daily routine in the prison and it is not something that can be labeled as "special and strange".

So when we asked the prison guards and the guards in the watchtower in the early stage, no one thought that there was anything wrong with Hu Erliu's behavior. This was just a daily activity in the prison.

Therefore, the biogas tank incident became an event that misled Li Xiangnan's investigation direction, making everyone pay special attention to him.

But Hu Erliu didn't take action on that day?

Li Xiangnan had doubts in his heart.

Hu Erliu was alone, which indeed gave him plenty of time to commit the crime.

On the 24th, Hu Erliu was active in this area, and on the 25th, something happened to Shen Yujing!

There is no such coincidence in the world.

But what the old comrade said, if it wasn’t Hu Erliu, what did he mean?

As if he knew what Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian were thinking, the old man inside said calmly, "That man was wearing Hu Erliu's clothes, wearing his hat, carrying his tools, and even wearing a mask when he turned around. He looked like him! But I know it wasn't him!"

Guo Qian asked excitedly, "Old comrade, how did you make that judgment?"

The old man said in a deep and nonchalant voice, "A person can imitate the appearance of others, but there is one thing that cannot be imitated..."

Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian looked at each other and listened attentively.

"That's the way to walk!"

boom!

As soon as he said this, not only a professional criminal investigation captain like Guo Qian, but even Li Xiangnan understood what he meant.

The way of walking is related to the cadence and posture, which is a set of personal identification marks composed of age, experience, physical condition, long-term living habits and subconscious small movements.

For example, many people have had this experience: they can easily tell that someone is familiar to them by the way they walk, even without seeing their face from a long distance away!

Because of the pace, expression, appearance, and the overall feeling that the whole person conveys, it gives people a very strong sense of familiarity.

At this time, you will recognize the other person just by looking at their back.

This is due to the familiarity with each other.

On the other hand, if someone you feel familiar with changes the way they walk, you will immediately notice something is wrong.

This old man in cell block No. 14 is a prisoner here. Let’s not go into his sins and just talk about his daily life.

Due to the long-term imprisonment, he was extremely bored all day long. If someone passed by the window or someone was moving around in a visible area, he would definitely notice it at the first time and observe them with great pleasure.

Even though he couldn't speak, he felt that it added a lot of fun to his extremely boring prison life where he had lost his freedom.

and so……

"That fake Hu Erliu worked here for a day, and no one noticed anything was wrong with him, but I knew he wasn't Hu Erliu!"

The old man's words were calm, but suddenly there was a hint of a curious tone in his voice.

Guo Qian asked excitedly, "Did he ever linger in front of the air vent in cell 101?"

"Another cigarette!"

The old man shouted.

The corners of Guo Qian's mouth twitched, but he still took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and put it in, but it was quickly taken away.

"It's too hot. You can go to the lawn over there and take a look. Maybe you'll find something! I have to go back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded at the same time.

"Hey, hey, hey, old comrade, please say a little more. I've already smoked three or four cigarettes for you!" Guo Qian immediately became "dissatisfied".

"Little comrade, am I being nice? I used to only buy Chinese flowers, not even the peony! I've told you so much today, but if you can't find out anything, you can forget about investigating the case! Come in and squat with me!"

Guo Qian: “…”

"Thank you, old comrade!" Li Xiangnan pulled Guo Qian, shook his head, turned and walked towards cell 101.

Although I never saw the old comrade's face from beginning to end, he was able to cooperate so much, and we couldn't ask too much from others. If he didn't speak up, they really wouldn't know the information about the fake Hu Erliu.

There probably won’t be any valuable clues from the old comrade!

"Advisor Li! Did you ask anything?"

Seeing Li Xiangnan and the other man coming over, Wang Hebing hurried over and asked.

"Political Commissar Wang, when will the lawn here be mowed?" Li Xiangnan suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Wang Hebing was still not able to react when the question came out.

The accompanying staff member beside him quickly replied: "It's not fixed, it depends on the growth, but it's usually handled by the responsible logistics staff!"

Wang Hebing nodded and said, "That's indeed the case!"

"So is Hu Erliu assigned to the recent weeding task?" Li Xiangnan asked again.

Wang Hebing glanced at the logistics chief who was following him. The latter nodded quickly and said with a stiff upper lip, "Yes, it's his turn. We schedule the next month's assignments at the end of each month, and this month he's weeding!"

In other words, Hu Erliu knew in early May that his task this month was weeding?

Li Xiangnan caught this information and had already walked to Shen Yujing's air vent.

After being reminded by the old comrade, he and Guo Qian observed it again and immediately found the problem.

The lawn here is trimmed more messily than in other areas, and it is obviously five to ten centimeters higher than elsewhere, as if it is covering something.

It seems that the fake Hu Erliu did make some arrangements here. He knew that no one would come here, so he piled up zinc phosphide rat poison here in advance.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

When the heavy rain comes the next day, Shen Yujing will be poisoned to death.

Everything was silent.

If Li Xiangnan had not intervened, Shen Yujing would have died inexplicably and this matter would have become an unsolved case.

But here comes the problem!

Who is this fake Hu Erliu?

Why was he able to wear Hu Erliu's clothes and hat, and was so familiar with all areas of the prison, and even helped with the weeding task for seven or eight hours?

Where did he come from and where did he leave?

Is he from the prison?

Or is he really an outsider as he suspects?

Who has access to Hu Erliu's clothes and equipment?

Is she his roommate?

These thoughts appeared in Li Xiangnan's mind, making him more and more suspicious. He looked at Guo Qian unconsciously and found that his face was also solemn. He was afraid that he thought the same thing.

"Advisor Li?" Seeing Li Xiangnan squatting here lost in thought, Wang Hebing was completely confused and asked subconsciously.

"Political Commissar Wang, I still want to take a look at Hu Erliu's dormitory!" Li Xiangnan stood up and said.

"Okay, I'll lead the way..."

"political commissar!"

Before Wang Hebing could finish his words, Wei Ting shouted from afar, "Director Wei is here!"

From a distance, several people, surrounded by He Yongweiting, were rushing here quickly.

Guo Qian and Li Xiangnan looked at each other, feeling quite helpless.

"Xiao Li, oh, we meet again!"

Wei Dongliang's voice arrived before he even arrived, and he greeted him from afar.

Do they know each other?

When Wang Hebing, He Yong and Wei Ting heard this, they were all overwhelmed. However, what made them even more furious was Wei Dongliang's next sentence.

"I rushed over right after your father-in-law had a meeting with me. Thank you for your hard work!"

"???"
