Chapter 390: Murder at the Amusement Park
Yi Ji works almost all year round, but whenever he takes a break, it is always for his family.
It was a rare sunny day in late autumn, and Zhao Liwan happened to be in Hong Kong. Jiayi and Doufuzi were both on break, so Yi Jiadong decided to take a day off and take the big family to the amusement park.
Carrying picnic food and autumn swimsuits, they went on a one-day trip to Victoria Water Park on Hong Kong Island!
All the adults carried large and small bags, with snacks, drinks, and fruits.
Jiaru and Jiajun were so happy that they jumped for joy and sang on the way out, which reminded Jiayi of the time when she was a child in her previous life when her school took her on an outing. A bus of students turned into a large army of ducks, making the teachers lose their minds and almost collapse.
The oceanic climate is really good. As long as the sun is out, it will be warm even in late autumn, but not too hot. Feeling the wind and looking at the beautiful scenery, even Jiayi, an adult, is looking forward to it.
...
Zhang Lishen is a photographer with a little reputation. He has some family background and is a little unrestrained. Therefore, even though he has a wife at home, he still can't help but attract bees and butterflies outside.
In the past, he always made every extramarital affair start and end well, but this time he ran into a tough guy.
Zhang Lishen developed all the photos he took the day before in the darkroom overnight, but in the morning, he pretended to rush to the studio from home, opened the door and greeted the assistant who was cleaning the studio.
Holding two cups of coffee in his hand, he handed the unopened cup to his assistant and smiled, "I will stay in the darkroom for the whole morning, focusing on developing photos. If you have anything, just call me and leave a message. Don't disturb me, understand?"
"Got it, boss." The assistant took the coffee, thanked him again, and watched him walk into the darkroom.
Zhang Lishen has always had the habit of "Once you enter the darkroom, no one should knock on the door to disturb you unless you come out by yourself." The assistant knew it a long time ago, so he didn't think it was a big deal. He drank coffee and continued to do his own thing.
As a photographer, it's normal to see playboys with all kinds of beautiful girls. It's just academic research and reading materials.
After cleaning the room, the assistant sat happily on the chair, watching Playboy, taking a sip of coffee from time to time, and looking up at the people coming and going. There is no more comfortable job in the world than this.
In the darkroom, Zhang Lishen hid the photos that had been developed long ago - these photos would be identified as the photos he developed in the darkroom this morning, which is another strong evidence that he was not at the scene of the murder.
The other one is of course the time witness who saw him walk into the darkroom and never saw him walk out of the darkroom, and can guarantee that he has been developing photos in the darkroom all morning - the assistant who is watching Playboy in the studio!
Gently opening the window of the darkroom, he looked out. He had already observed it and there was no problem.
After making sure that there was no one else in the alley, Zhang Lishen quickly jumped out of the window, holding the wire wrapped in electrical rubber, stepped on the cement platform, turned to the stairs a few meters away, landed on the stairs with a light jump, and then ran out of the alley and turned to the Tianhou Temple Road from the other side.
A few minutes later, Zhang Lishen, who was originally developing photos in the darkroom, appeared in front of the Victoria Water Park with a bunch of flowers, bought a ticket, and quietly waited for the girlfriend he couldn't get rid of no matter how hard he tried.
...
Driving along the coastal bypass, the car was parked in the parking lot near Tin Hau Station.
Standing on this side of the road, watching the double-decker bus with a large poster of Officer Yi in police uniform passing by, the crowds of people were like a weave, and it was hot as if it was back in summer.
Jiayi wore sunglasses, her long hair was tied into a big fluffy bun on top of her head, and she wore a sun hat, so she was basically unrecognizable.
Some young people on bicycles flew past her, screaming and laughing, with a thud, a group of people rushed to the road, intertwined in one place, and brushed against each other.
I don't know which store was playing a Mandarin song:
"He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing, wipe away your tears and don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams..."
It was Zheng Zhihua's "Sailor".
After walking a little further and turning towards the ticket office of the water park, I heard another Cantonese song:
"May this land be full of colors, regardless of you or me, to welcome the glorious years..."
After buying the ticket and queuing to enter the water park to check the ticket, Jiayi heard a very loud melody from the headphones worn by a young man in front of her:
"Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime..."
It is the theme song of "Titanic", Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On".
In this city, you can not only see a variety of lifestyles, but also people of different skin colors gather in this trade city, bringing different cultures and songs.
The sea embraces all rivers and the flowers bloom in unison.
The man and woman in the front left leaned against each other, whispering from time to time and laughing tacitly.
They seemed to have built a space that belonged to them in the crowd, and there was a barrier between them and other people.
This is a couple who have been together for a while. Time has built up a high degree of tacit understanding and intimacy between them. They are comfortable together, and every body language will not lie.
Jiayi walked into the water park with Jiaru. When they turned to the locker room to change clothes, they saw another couple. Although they were holding hands, their bodies were not very close.
At the door of the locker room, the man told the girl a little reservedly that they would meet at the fountain outside the locker room in a while.
This is a couple who have just been together. They have not yet built up enough sense of security. The unfamiliarity is manifested in the temptation and observation when they are together.
They are still in the stage of getting to know each other and trying to get along with each other well.
Entering the dressing room, a mother was clumsy in changing her daughter's clothes. Although her patience was about to run out, she still endured and did not lose her temper.
This is a mother who does not often take care of her children. In her family, either there is a Filipino maid who helps her take care of the children all the time, or there are elders who help take care of the children. Otherwise, she would be better at doing such things and would be more presumptuous with the children. Because if you are close enough and feel that you have given enough to your children, then it is inevitable that you will lose some sense of boundaries and dare to scold the children.
Sure enough, after a while, an old man rushed over from the bathroom, muttered a few words, took the child, and swiftly helped the child change into a swimsuit. The young mother also breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to change into a swimsuit and tie her hair.
Since becoming a detective, Jiayi has habitually observed everyone who appears before her. Doing daily observation and reasoning based on behavioral psychology, criminal psychology, psychology, etc. is a kind of training for the necessary abilities of a detective.
Deliberate practice has a very good effect, just like the heroes in martial arts novels who practice their inner strength anytime and anywhere. Only by integrating this behavior into life can we grow to the greatest extent and at the fastest speed.
It's just that she seems to be a little distracted occasionally, but fortunately, she doesn't need to concentrate too much when she goes out to play, which is very suitable for her to do a lot of observation and analysis.
"Eleven, Clara, do you want sunscreen?" Zhao Liwan turned around and asked Eleven and Clara.
After the two refused, Zhao Liwan pulled Jiaru over and helped the little girl carefully apply a layer of sunscreen on her face, and then pulled Jiaru's arm to help her apply it on her arm and the back of her neck.
After applying the sunscreen, Zhao Liwan patted Jiaru on the butt and said, "Let's go out and play in the water."
"Sister Wan, let me help you apply the sunscreen on your back." Clara walked over and took the sunscreen from Zhao Liwan.
After everyone was done, they went out together. Jiaru was already playing with several other strange girls at the fountain. After putting on their swimsuits, they could run around in the fountain area. Fortunately, the water pressure of the fountain here was not strong, and there was no sign prohibiting playing. The children ran around and splashed water on each other. After
buying a water gun for Jiaru, Jiajun and Ding Baoshu, Manniu, the king of the children, took the three children away.
For exciting games like water roller coasters and highland rafting, the barbarian dared to play with both vegetarians and vegetarians. The children ran with him for half a day and played like crazy. Their hair was wet and they were visibly tanned.
When playing on the water slide with Clara, Jiayi brushed shoulders with a couple who looked a little special.
The other party did not notice her, but she quietly observed them for a long time.
Because the beautiful girl in the couple showed a very deep intimacy with her boyfriend, and the boyfriend also smiled happily and held his girlfriend tightly with his arms. It seemed that they were a very good relationship between a handsome man and a beautiful woman, but Jiayi only took a glance and saw some emotions from the man that were completely different from intimacy and joy.
This subtle contradiction gave her some research interest.
If a person laughs very happily, his eyebrows and eyes will bend, the corners of his lips will uncontrollably curl upwards, and all the wrinkles on his face should be consistent with this expression.
But when this boyfriend laughs, his lips and cheekbones are a little uncoordinated. He is not immersed in the moment of laughter, and at the same time he is worried that the water splashing everywhere will splash into his mouth - he does not seem to be as engaged and happy as he looks.
When two people are chatting and laughing, because they are immersed in the jokes or funny things at the moment, their eyes should not be so focused, because they are thinking about this happy thing in their hearts and minds, instead of looking around and observing the surroundings.
People only look around when they are about to do something or feel nervous and anxious. This is an instinct engraved in our bones and blood, an instinct left over from the time when humans ate raw meat, drank blood, shot arrows and hunted.
When this boyfriend was enjoying himself with his girlfriend, his eyes were particularly clear and he was always paying attention to his surroundings.
Jiayi thought that maybe they were not an original couple, but a couple who were having an affair. The man was very worried about meeting someone familiar in such a crowded place, so he showed such an expression.
Or maybe the man seemed to be concentrating on hanging out with his girlfriend, but in fact he had other worries in his heart, such as work or other things...
I wanted to observe whether there were other emotions in the facial lines and features of the man, but there were too many people in the water park, and the people who walked by were quickly dispersed, and they might never meet again.
Jiayi gathered her mind and enjoyed the fun but not too exciting water slide with everyone.
...
Zhang Lishen made an excuse to go to the locker room to get something, and after returning to the locker room, he took out all his clothes.
After returning the box to the staff, he walked out of the locker room with his things, and while his girlfriend and others were not paying attention, he threw the bag behind the automatic locker, blocked it with a trash can, and then pretended to walk towards his girlfriend as if nothing had happened.
The knife was hidden at the back of his waist, and the mask and sunglasses were in his pocket.
He walked back to his girlfriend, hugged her gently, put his palm on her exposed waist, and gently felt her body temperature. When she turned around in confusion, he did not answer immediately, but stared at her for a long time.
"What's wrong?" The girlfriend raised her eyebrows and smiled as if there was no trouble in her life.
"I recommended Ajie to you before, how did you two chat?" The smile on his face disappeared quietly, and his tone was particularly serious when he asked the question.
The girlfriend's expression changed immediately. She frowned and raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean? Zhang Lishen, are you tired of playing with me and want to introduce me to others? Who do you think I am? Let me tell you, you promised to marry me before, and you have to be with me until I stop loving you. You said you wanted to divorce your wife, what's the matter? You can't bear to leave your wife? You want to repay your wife for accompanying you all the way to start your business, and you want to play true love with me. Now you are afraid of being discovered by your wife? Why don't you think about me?"
"...Ajie likes you very much, why do you have to tie you to me?" Zhang Lishen frowned and nervously told her to speak softly.
"Am I a coward? I turn on the light to illuminate you with one click of the switch, and turn it off with another click to avoid blinding your eyes?" The girlfriend said bitterly: "I am having a lot of fun here today. I don't want to argue with you about this. Can you shut up?"
"..." Zhang Lishen stared at her eyes and didn't coax her immediately like he did in the past when they quarreled.
People were coming and going around, and most of them didn't notice the two people standing by the tree.
The girlfriend was a little scared by Zhang Lishen's stare. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to ask him impatiently what he wanted to do, but she saw him stretch his hand behind his waist.
She was still stupidly leaning her head to look behind him, and her mind was associated with the surprise moment when he suddenly pulled out a rose and a gift from behind when he was pursuing her -
this time, there was only the cold light of a knife, and a sharp pain in her throat for no apparent reason.
When the crowd suddenly exploded, the only person left was the woman who collapsed, holding her throat.
Some of the chaotic tourists gathered around to watch the excitement, some were so scared that they screamed and ran away, and some called on everyone to disperse and shouted for a doctor...
When Dang Jiayi noticed the commotion and pushed through the crowd to rush over, the woman's eyes were gradually losing consciousness. The manager of the amusement park that day rushed over and was shouting in panic:
"Call the police! Go and call the police!"
