As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

Before leaving, Ye Lin pulled Captain Xu aside to chat for a few words, "Captain Xu, do you find it strange?"

"Why is it so strange? Someone was able to take a video?"

"No, it's about the rumors on the Internet. How come they fermented so quickly? The video posted last night has become a hot search this morning. And who told them that it was J who killed him? That's totally not true." Ye Lin said.

"Captain Ye, you know the current self-media, they are full of rumors, and they dare to say anything as long as they have traffic."

"I guess at first they just said he was dead, and then some unscrupulous self-media took it upon themselves to say it was J who killed him." Captain Xu said a few words perfunctorily.

Ye Lin could see that Captain Xu was a little anxious, but that was normal. Who wouldn't be anxious at this time?

The person who posted the video in Caochang Village is called Yang Zhangping. He is in his thirties and lives in Caochang Village. He also posts videos of his rural life from time to time.

This video of the cremated corpse was released early this morning and has been viewed over a million times.

Yang Zhangping didn't expect that the police would come to his door so quickly after he posted a video.

"Yang Zhangping, we are from the city's criminal investigation team. My name is Xu Zhenhua. Did you post this video? Where did it come from?" Captain Xu asked directly, taking out the video.

When Yang Zhangping heard that it was a criminal police officer, he immediately became nervous, "I posted it, but I didn't spread rumors. My dad took the photo."

"Your father?"

"Ah, that night my dad rode out on his bike, and when he got there he felt like taking a shit, so he went to the wasteland. Unexpectedly he saw someone burning something, and he was bored taking a shit so he took a photo."

"Where's your dad?"

"In the field. I'll go get him."

After saying that, Yang Zhangping rode his electric scooter to call for help.

Soon, he came back with a man who looked honest.

"Leader, are you looking for me?"

"Did you shoot this video? What's your name?"

"Leader, my name is Zhang Xuan, and this video was indeed taken by me." Zhang Xuan said with his waist bent, while trying to take out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Have mine. Tell us what happened that night?" Ye Lin took out a cigarette and handed it over first.

"Oh, okay, okay." Zhang Xuan bent over and took the cigarette again.

Ye Lin observed secretly and found that Zhang Xuan had thick hand bones, many calluses on his hands, and dark skin. It was obvious that he was a person who worked frequently.

And from his son's name, we can tell that Zhang Xuan is a son-in-law who lives with the wife's family, so his son takes his mother's surname, with his father's surname second. Although in modern society, there are fewer and fewer son-in-law who live with the wife's family, there are still some areas with this custom.

Zhang Xuan took a puff and began to talk, while Yang Zhangping sat aside and listened.

"That night I went to the city to drink and came back very late. Then when I reached a fork in the road, I felt a stomachache, so I decided to go to the field to take a shit." Zhang Xuan said a little embarrassedly.

"I just found a place and squatted down, and I saw someone burning something there. I was very surprised at the time. What was burning in the middle of the night? Was he planning to open up the land?"

"But that man didn't seem to be here to burn the wasteland. He was watching from the side, trying to prevent the fire from spreading."

"I was bored anyway, so I just took a video."

"Did you see that man's face?" Captain Xu asked.

"No, it's too far away. Besides, I've been drinking, so I'm a little dazed." Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I can tell it's a man, about 1.70 meters tall, less than 1.80 meters."

Captain Xu was a little disappointed. He wished he had seen it on the spot.

"What about other things? Does this man have any strange behavior or any obvious physical features? What kind of clothes does he wear? And so on."

"No, he looks like an ordinary man and the clothes he wore are not conspicuous. I really can't recognize him." Zhang Xuan said apologetically.

"Since you knew it was a murder case, why didn't you hand over the video to us earlier? And why didn't you tell us when we came to the village to investigate? You knew about it but didn't report it." Captain Xu was a little annoyed.

As Captain Xu's words became more serious, Zhang Xuan couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly explained, "Leader, I didn't think much about it at the time. Besides, I found a job in the city and just came back yesterday."

"My son told me about it, and then I realized that I was filming a crime scene."

"Then why didn't you call the police if you knew about it, instead of posting it online?"

"Um..." Zhang Xuan looked at his son nervously.

Yang Zhangping's mouth twitched, "Well, leader, my father is afraid that he can't explain it clearly."

"You're afraid you can't explain it clearly, but you still post it online." Ye Lin interrupted. To put it bluntly, he just wants to earn some traffic.

"Your behavior is not only disrespectful to the victim, but it will also let the murderer know. The murderer may have already escaped." Captain Xu was a little annoyed.

"Leader, we did help you, okay? You wouldn't have solved the case without our video, and you still blame us. I'm lucky enough that I didn't ask for any informant fees." Yang Zhangping said back bluntly when he saw that Captain Xu was a little angry.

Hearing Yang Zhangping's words, Ye Lin immediately got angry and stood up and scolded: "You are crazy about money, don't you know that you will let the murderer run away and maybe hurt others? What is more important, your traffic or human life?"

"Ah? It will harm people." Zhang Xuan was scared when he heard that it would harm people.

He stood up, pointed at his son and complained, "I told you not to send it and to hand it over to the police, but you didn't listen. How will I feel if someone gets killed?"

Seeing his father getting angry, Yang Zhangping turned his head away unconvinced and stopped talking.

"It has already happened, and we hope you will cooperate."

"Let me ask you, why do you say it was murder?" Ye Lin stared at Yang Zhangping and said.

According to Zhang Xuan's confession just now, he thought that someone was burning something, and when he saw it, the murderer was already burning the bodies and had killed everyone.

"Ah? I didn't say murder, I said killing people and burning the bodies." Yang Zhangping looked confused.

"Didn't say? Then why does it say "so" on this video?" Ye Lin took out the video.

Yang Zhangping took a look and immediately explained: "My original video didn't say this. This should have been added by others when they forwarded it."

Ye Lin wanted to ask more questions, but Captain Xu interrupted him, "Captain Ye, this is a matter for the Internet police. Let's go back and study how to find the murderer."

Since Captain Xu said so, Ye Lin couldn't say anything else. After all, it was someone else's case and they had their own ideas.

Before leaving, Captain Xu repeatedly told Yang Zhangping to contact him in time if he had any other clues, and not to send out such things recklessly anymore.

Yang Zhangping nodded perfunctorily, not knowing whether he acknowledged it or not.
