Chapter 53 Chapter 53 The Third Drawing
Chen Huizhi's grandfather was not willing to go to the police station for his grandson.
Xu An tried to persuade him several times and was scolded several times. He couldn't confront an old man in his seventies, so he finally got back into the car.
There was a smell of instant noodles in the car, so as soon as Xu An got in, he immediately rolled down all the windows to ventilate the car.
The lid of the instant noodle bucket was blown away by the wind.
“Hey hey hey!”
Pei Qing sighed when he saw the barrel lid floating to the ground outside.
She held up a bucket of spicy beef noodles and asked Xu An if he wanted another one.
Xu An is not interested in instant noodles; he has eaten enough of them in the office before.
Xu An: "I don't want to eat. I saw a shop selling steamed buns when I came here just now. I'll buy some later."
Pei Qing: "Okay, it's delicious if you eat it once in a while."
She went out, picked up the barrel lid that had floated away and threw it into the trash can, then turned around and went back to the car.
When she sat down, she looked in the direction of the public toilet again. She didn't see the old man outside the toilet, so he must have entered the toilet cubicle.
Chen Huizhi is really a good-for-nothing. His grandfather is already seventy years old and has no choice but to live here. He is getting older and older, and it is unknown how long he can live here.
Pei Qing didn't look any further and lowered the car window a little.
Yang Xingping had finished a bucket of instant noodles and started working.
"I asked the operator for Chen Huizhi's call records. He hasn't had many phone contacts recently. I'm going to call and see where Chen Huizhi is staying recently."
Pei Qing: "Does Chen Huizhi still have money?"
Yang Xingping: "If he had money, but still made his grandfather live in a public toilet, he would be worse than pigs and dogs."
After Yang Xingping said this, Pei Qing understood: "It seems that Chen Huizhi has no money."
After obtaining Chen Huizhi's call records through the operator, Yang Xingping found a friend of Chen Huizhi among these contacts, and Chen Huizhi once stayed in his store.
Chen Huizhi's friend owns a fruit shop. He usually goes to purchase goods. Chen Huizhi will help him look after the shop while he is doing the purchasing and they live together on the second floor of the fruit shop.
The three people asked Chen Huizhi's friend, obtained Chen Huizhi's toothbrush, towel and other personal belongings, and sent them for DNA matching.
The matching results showed that the other DNA in the iron bucket was Chen Huizhi.
At this point in the case, the identities of the corpses in the barrel have been confirmed.
But the question is, Yu Lequn and Chen Huizhi had an old grudge, so why did they die together?
Could it be true, as Pei Qing and the other two guessed, that when Chen Huizhi was going to look for Yu Lequn, he was spotted by the murderer who had just committed a crime and was killed?
Pei Qing took out the drawing again.
In the drawing, it is a deep night with only dim street lights on the roadside, and it is obvious that it is not daytime.
Pei Qing thought about it and went to find Chen Huizhi's friend again.
Just as she thought, Chen Huizhi had to look after the store during the day and only had time to go out at night.
Pei Qing muttered: "This is too unlucky."
Xu An ate one bun at a time and had no time to talk.
Yang Xingping's words were harsh as always: "It's a good thing that someone is dead. I asked around and found out that Chen Huizhi's grandfather had a pension. Now that this sinful grandson is dead, at least the grandfather doesn't have to go into debt."
Xu An coughed lightly: "Be restrained, don't let anyone hear you cursing."
＊
Chen Huizhi's friend is Bai Guanglin. He has been running a fruit shop for eight years and has a stable customer base.
He was a serious fruit seller, and although he sometimes had arguments with people over the poor quality of the fruits or the rotten fruits, he had never been seriously visited by the police.
Still a criminal police!
He turned over the sign at the door that said "The owner is taking a break" and closed the door. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Police comrade, you took all the things away, why are you here again?"
He spoke much more politely and carefully than Zhang Chengan, and at first glance he looked like an ordinary law-abiding citizen.
Xu An told him not to be nervous and said, "I want to ask you, when did Chen Huizhi become unreachable?"
Bai Guanglin was worried: "At the end of last month, I thought he was tired of helping me run the store and ran away."
Pei Qing: "Is he like this often?"
Bai Guanglin smiled awkwardly: "He is a man with a unstable character. He often stays here for a few days, but finds the fruit stall boring and runs away again. I thought this time would be the same as last time. I locked the door of my shop well, and I didn't think anything would happen to him. What happened to him?"
Yang Xingping looked at the fruits on the stall and said indifferently, "You are a very nice person. He has lost his house, but you let him stay with you."
Bai Guanglin: "There's nothing I can do. My mom and his mom are not even five generations apart. His mom died. My mom said that as long as he doesn't cheat me out of money, I'll still take care of him. I'll just give him a place to live. He's good at talking and attracting customers, but he's still young and wants to travel around. Hey, I originally wanted his grandfather to come live with me so he could help me run the stall, but his grandfather got so angry that he wanted to cut off all ties with him, so I didn't dare go anywhere."
Pei Qing thought that judging by the old man’s swearing style, he could probably live to be ninety.
I don’t know how I was deceived by my grandson.
Xu An joked with him: "Have you ever been scolded out of the house?"
Bai Guanglin: "No, Xiao Chen was often scolded before."
Pei Qing knew Chen Huizhi a little bit, so he asked further: "Do you remember the specific time when Chen Huizhi couldn't be contacted? You just came back from purchasing goods that day?"
Bai Guanglin nodded.
Xu An asked him to take out the dash cam and have a look.
Bai Guanglin found the date when Chen Huizhi left by relying on his account book, transfer records and driving recorder.
Bai Guanglin: "I came back on the 26th. The door was locked properly on the 26th. When I came back and found that the door was not open, I knew that Chen Huizhi had escaped again."
Pei Qing: "You didn't send a message to Chen Huizhi?"
Bai Guanglin: "He used to be like this, coming for a while and leaving for a while. If he made a fortune outside, he wouldn't come to me for a few months. I'm used to it. Alas, he doesn't think highly of my hard work in business."
Pei Qing took out a notebook and took note, then asked more carefully.
"You came back on the 26th. Did you contact Chen Huizhi on the 25th?"
Bai Guanglin recalled and said, "I left on the 24th. I told him everything I needed to say during the day. He had been running the fruit stand for a long time. I didn't contact him since the 25th."
So it seems that Chen Huizhi went to see Yu Lequn on the night of the 24th or the 25th.
Pei Qing wanted to shorten the time further: "Was the fruit shop open on the 25th? Didn't you ask your neighbors?"
Bai Guanglin: "It should be open now. I saw a deposit on the 25th."
Pei Qing circled the words "On the evening of July 25th".
＊
After leaving Bai Guanglin's fruit shop, Pei Qing turned to the first few pages of his notes. At that time, Yang Xingping went to meet Yu Lequn's neighbor.
The white-collar worker next door said that he last saw Yu Lequn on July 20th.
The family of three next door said that they had seen Yu Lequn on August 2, and specifically noted that the hostess did not see his face.
As for the drunkard woman, you don’t need to read her words for now.
Xu An took Pei Qing's notebook and flipped through it.
"I remember it very carefully. The case summary is now in place!"
Pei Qing took the notebook back and glared at Xu An.
"You're trying to trick me into doing my job again!"
Yang Xingping compared Bai Guangping's statements with Chen Huizhi's call records.
Indeed, after Chen Huizhi spoke with Zhang Chengan on July 24, there were no more outgoing calls from his phone.
Therefore, the three men tentatively determined the time of Chen Huizhi's murder to be the evening of July 25th.
Around this time point, the three began to focus on checking the vehicles that entered No. 25 Daqing Road in the days before and after.
After unraveling the case, we were finally able to shorten the time to a few days.
The three believed that since the murderer was suspected of killing two people, it was a problem how to move the two dead people away from the crime scene.
After the body was removed from the crime scene, part of the deceased's remains ended up in the sea, so the deceased's body must have been sent out of Daqing Road.
Daqing Road is not near the sea, so it is obvious that the murderer needs a car to transport the body to the seaside and dispose of it.
Starting from July 25, cars leaving Daqing Road will be marked as the end point.
There are not many people on the road in Daqing. Except for some young people who live broadcast here for cheap rent, there are almost no elderly people on the road in Daqing who have cars.
The pressure of checking surveillance has been reduced a lot.
Even so, the three of them still screened out seventy or eighty vehicles.
Pei Qing managed to find some humor in the midst of his suffering: "Fortunately, there are not hundreds of them."
Xu An: "The place Yu Lequn chose does have its advantages."
Yang Xingping: "Finally, I did a good thing."
Pei Qing also found Zhang Cheng'an's transcript. Before he was released, he wrote down the people he thought had grudges against Yu Lequn and were very likely to seek revenge on him.
Many of them are highly consistent with the names in Yu Lequn’s call records.
If any of these people match the car owners, the case can be simplified.
After several hours of investigation, Pei Qing rubbed his neck, Xu An blinked his tired eyes, and Yang Xingping put a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't light it, just to satisfy his craving.
The three people found the car owners separately and got in touch with them.
Unfortunately, after July 25, the names of these car owners did not match those on the list provided by Zhang Chengan.
Pei Qing leaned over the table and asked, "Have you checked everything? No one has lost their car?"
Xu An: "I don't have any here."
Yang Xingping: "I don't have any either."
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment while watching the surveillance video.
Pei Qing: "What went wrong?"
The three of them stared at the surveillance camera, wishing they could stare it to pieces.
In the surveillance video, a courier truck drove into Daqing Road, and an hour later, the courier truck drove away again.
Pei Qing stared at the surveillance camera and asked, "Isn't this Liu Xing's car? Did you call Liu Xing?"
Yang Xingping: "I called but he didn't answer. He must be spending money like water somewhere. His compensation for the demolition will be used up sooner or later."
Xu An didn't say anything. He enlarged the surveillance footage again and again.
In the surveillance video, the man driving the delivery truck was wearing a coat and covering his face.
Xu An pointed at the surveillance camera and asked Pei Qing and Yang Xingping: "Is this Liu Xing?"
Hearing this, Pei Qing and Yang Xingping watched the surveillance video carefully.
Yang Xingping: "It's covered very tightly."
Pei Qing: "You didn't even show your arms, that's not right, don't you men care about sunscreen?"
She still remembered how Xu An and Yang Xingping declined the offer of sunscreen on the beach.
The three of them said in unison: "There is a problem!"
The date of the surveillance was July 26th.
Xu An moved the surveillance video back one day but did not find Liu Xing's delivery truck.
Pei Qing urged him to push back.
On July 27, the courier truck appeared on the surveillance camera and stayed there for an hour.
On July 28, the courier truck did not appear again.
Xu An cursed: "Liu Xing, this bastard, pretends to be so decent!"
Yang Xingping reacted quickly: "I'll go find Liu Xing right away."
Pei Qing: "I'll call the courier station to ask how many packages are going to be delivered on Daqing Road on the 26th and 27th."
