Late Night Murder Case (Part 4)
Gu Fang glanced at Qi Jiabao warningly, and Qi Jiabao quickly restrained himself, still smiling, "Sister Xiao Shen, can you explain it more clearly?"
Shen Xingyan no longer cared about Qi Jiabao's chilling name. She took out the city's public transportation map and marked the names of the bus stops next to the three incident sites.
"I have always suspected that the murderer used public transportation to commit the crime. If he could drive, he could drive Mingyuan's car to a more remote and farther place to commit the crime. He chose Chang'an Hutong, a dilapidated house.
If he rides a bicycle or tricycle, he will leave traces. Walking is the easiest way to hide. What we need to find now is which bus or location can reach these three incident sites at the same time. ”
The three of them started looking for bus routes. Shen Xingyan suddenly remembered something and quickly searched, saying, "Ah, I found it. It's Pujiadai, where I live. No wonder I always feel familiar with these three places. When I take a walk at night, I will go to the bus stop to look.
You see, there are bus lines 225, 131 and 5 in Pujiazhai, which can go to the bus stops nearest to these three places respectively. ”
Gu Fang was still worried. "Pujiadai is so big, and there are so many people living there. We know nothing about the murderer, and it's very difficult to investigate."
Shen Xingyan nodded. Indeed, they needed to narrow the scope and increase the conditions for investigation. "I have a feeling that we are about to find the core of the case, but what is missing?" She thought about the case again. "Why does the murderer kill one person a year?"
Gu Fang also fell into deep thought, "There must be a connection between these three people."
“We have to revisit and determine the source of the corpse in the first case.”
"Two years have passed, and it's too difficult to investigate."
"Let's investigate the second case first. The source of the corpse has been confirmed. Zhang Yuanyuan's parents are still alive. They are eager to catch the murderer and will cooperate."
"That's it."
Qi Jiabao stared at them, and they were talking one after another, unable to get a word in. When he saw that they were about to go out, he followed them no matter what.
Gu Fang: "If we all leave, who will look after the house? What if something happens?"
"I'm here." A charming voice came, and Ran Lili leaned against the door frame, smiling, "I'll take care of the house, you guys go and get busy."
Qi Jiabao laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared, "Thank you, Sister Lili."
Ran Lili said, "No thanks, no thanks." But her eyes never left Gu Fang.
Shen Xingyan had an expression of enjoying a melon, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Gu Fang and Ran Lili.
Gu Fang glared at her and yelled at Qi Jiabao, "Why don't you leave quickly? What are you standing there for?"
Qi Jiabao hurriedly followed, laughing so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.
…
After being fired, Zhang Zhaonian still lived in the original house. Zhang Zhaonian's wife still works in a government agency, so the house was not taken back for her sake.
Zhang Zhaonian didn't want to take advantage of Guo Jia, so he paid for it.
The room is over 90 square meters and is decorated in an antique style. A portrait of Zhang Yuanyuan is hung on the wall in the middle of the living room. The little girl is smiling happily, with her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents.
Zhang Zhaonian has not worked for the past two years and has been looking for the murderer. He is only fifty years old, but his hair has turned completely white.
He wore a sweatshirt, crossed his legs, and fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan. He looked calm and composed, yet he felt oppressed by his superiors. He was worthy of having held an important position in a government agency. "I was wondering when you would come to my house. Three lives have been lost. If the case cannot be solved this time, I will post big-character posters."
Gu Fang said solemnly, "Don't worry, we will definitely catch the murderer who killed Yuanyuan. Can you tell me more about Yuanyuan's situation?"
Zhang Zhaonian stood up and brought a box from the room. "I have said everything that the criminal police who worked with you on the case said. These are Yuanyuan's things. I have sorted them out. You can use them and return them to me after you are done."
Shen Xingyan stood up and looked through them. They were some of Zhang Yuanyuan's commonly used items, including a diary. She picked it up and took a look, but found no special records.
She flipped to the bottom and saw Zhang Yuanyuan's medical record. She thought about it and turned to the most recent page of medical records. She thought about it and gave it to Gu Fang. Gu Fang didn't look at it and put it away.
Zhang Zhaonian put down his crossed legs and leaned forward, "Have you found the breakthrough? Doctor?" He was as sharp as a leopard and it seemed that he had put in a lot of effort in the past two years.
“Not sure yet.”
"No, you are sure, you are just confused, you can't fool me." Zhang Zhaonian's eyes were like torches, "I have seen many people, even the slightest emotional fluctuations can't escape my eyes. Captain Gu, I will wait for your news at home, don't let me wait too long."
After coming out of Zhang's house, beads of sweat broke out on the backs of Gu Fang and the other two.
Qi Jiabao let out a long sigh, Alexander.
After getting in the car, Shen Xingyan said, "It seems that Jin Meng is a big suspect, but it's a pity that we can't find the first source of the corpse."
"There are two similarities, so we can basically lock them down."
"Isn't that too arbitrary? We still lack substantial evidence."
Gu Fang: "My intuition tells me that even if Jin Meng is not a suspect, she is closely related to the suspect. It's too late today, you guys go back and rest first. I need to think about it carefully."
Gu Fang first sent Qi Jiabao home, then sent Shen Xingyan, and then returned to the Municipal Bureau.
Shen Xingyan returned home, took a shower, cooked a pack of instant noodles, poached an egg, and added some vegetables. She was too lazy to cook, so when she found instant noodles in the supermarket, her eyes filled with tears. She felt like she was finally saved, so she bought a box and took it home.
According to her usual habit, she would eat, rest for half an hour, and then go for a walk. However, when she thought that the murderer might live nearby, she gave up the idea. I found a book to entertain myself, but the information from the three cases kept drilling into my mind and I couldn't concentrate at all. I simply threw the book away and lay down on the bed to sleep.
…
The next day at work, I showed up at the Forensic Department, but still thinking about the case, I went to the Second Detachment.
Only Qi Jiabao was there, and she asked where Captain Gu was.
Qi Jiabao: "He went out, saying he was going to get some fresh air." He pointed at Captain Gu's table, where the steamed buns and soy milk were lying quietly.
Shen Xingyan knew that it was Ran Lili's "good intention", and she guessed that this "good intention" made Gu Fang feel suffocated.
"He was in the bureau last night?"
"Well, he said he couldn't figure it out."
"How are Jiang Shengyu and the others doing?"
"Jin Meng has no other activities except going to and from get off work."
Gu Fang came back staggeringly, his beard had grown out, a strand of hair hung listlessly on his forehead, his hands were in his pockets, he looked a little depressed, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.
He patted Qi Jiabao on the shoulder and said, "Jiabao, contact Shengyu and tell him that if Jin Meng doesn't go anywhere except to and from get off work that day, then come back."
Qi Jiabao's eyes widened, "Why?"
"Why so many questions? Just execute it!"
Qi Jiabao said "Oh" and went to contact him.
Shen Xingyan stared at him without blinking. Gu Fang glanced at her and said, "Even if I'm handsome, you don't have to stare at me like that."
"Do you have a solution?" Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy.
Gu Fang walked towards the office without saying anything. Shen Xingyan ran to his side and whispered, "Are the buns outside better than the ones Lili bought?"
Gu Fang stumbled, walked quickly to the office, and closed the door with a click.
Shen Xingyan grinned and asked you not to tell me. He then went back to the forensic department with his hands behind his back and waited for news.
A morning passed, an afternoon passed, and a night passed, and nothing happened.
The second day passed, and on the third day Shen Xingyan could no longer sit still and walked out quietly.
Bao Wu coughed, and Shen Xingyan said hurriedly: "I'm going to the bathroom."
He Li looked up from the computer and said, "You've been there three times. Do you want to go to the second team?"
Shen Xingyan: "I'm not, I don't have it."
Bao Wu sighed, "Go ahead."
Shen Xingyan ran away in a flash.
He Li looked at her back with envy in his eyes.
Bao Wu: "Go if you want to."
He Li buried his head in front of the computer and said, "I don't want to go."
Except for Yang Dawei, Qiu Ming and Wen Ke, everyone else from the Second Team was present.
Shen Xingyan walked up to Qi Jiabao and asked, "Didn't you go to investigate the case?"
"Brother Yang and his team are out on duty. We'll stay here and wait for orders."
"Where's Captain Gu?"
"have no idea."
Shen Xingyan sat for a while and then returned to the office, sighing and wondering what Gu was doing. There had been no progress in several days. She recalled her grandfather's notes and calculated that it was time to catch the murderer. Could it be that her arrival disrupted the order and caused changes?
She was suspicious left and right and didn't notice the weird atmosphere in the office.
Bao Wu knocked on her desk, "Xiao Shen."
Shen Xingyan:?
Bao Wu: "It's time to get off work." He left with his bag.
He Li walked up to Shen Xingyan, crossed his arms, and said proudly, "I admit that you did better than me in the on-site inspection of the corpse, but that doesn't mean I will admit defeat. Let's compete again next time."
"I didn't mean to..."
He Li walked away with his head raised proudly before he finished listening, leaving Shen Xingyan alone, looking melancholy at the air. She didn't think about competing. Her mind was now full of solving the case.
After get off work, Shen Xingyan did not go to the Second Team. She didn't want to go since there was no progress in the case anyway.
Remembering that I hadn’t eaten noodles for a long time, I went to a restaurant and ordered a bowl of pork chop noodles with a poached egg.
The boss was familiar with her and asked her why she hadn't been here for a while.
Shen Xingyan replied that she was busy, and she was indeed busy.
The steak came up and Shen Xingyan was just about to pick up the chopsticks to eat it when his vision darkened and someone walked in.
The man had a long face, a crew cut, was wearing a large vest and shorts, and was wearing slippers. He was sitting at the table next to her.
Sparks suddenly exploded in Shen Xingyan's head. He took out money from his pocket and walked out straight away.
The boss poked his head out of the kitchen and was about to call her, but when he saw the money on the table, he shut up, shook his head, and went to get the bowl of noodles that she had not touched yet.
The person next to him said, "Give it to me. I haven't eaten the big chop noodles yet. Let me try it."
"But……"
"It's okay, I'll pay."
"No need, I'll give it to you."
Shen Xingyan ran out of the noodle shop, and suddenly someone covered her mouth from behind. She was about to bend her arms to fight back when she heard a familiar voice, "It's me!"
Shen Xingyan's nervous mood immediately relaxed and she patted his hands.
Gu Fang let her go and looked at the noodle shop warily, "Is he in there?"
Shen Xingyan nodded, Gu Fang made a gesture to keep quiet, waved towards the distance, and Qiu Ming and others quickly rushed into the noodle shop.
Gu Fang followed, and Shen Xingyan hesitated for a moment and then followed in.
