Chapter 108 Ice Cream
Xingfuli Community.
This is the earliest real estate project developed in Hui City. The development company established by the Housing Authority raised funds on its own and built more than 20 residential buildings next to the Tieshan Reservoir in the north of the city. Every building has brand new beige exterior wall tiles and aluminum alloy sliding windows, looking luxurious and upscale.
It was put on sale in 1992 at a price of 520 yuan per square meter, and the total price of a house was about 60,000 yuan. Compared with the general income level of a few hundred yuan at that time, it was definitely a sky-high price.
But even so, Xingfuli community is still selling extremely well.
The suite has an area of more than 100 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, a bright and clean kitchen and bathroom, and is equipped with a central green area and waterscape in the community. It attracts people who have been waiting for welfare housing to be allocated by their units.
Xia Mufan called the police and went to Xingfuli community with Gu Shaoqi and Xu Shumei.
As soon as you enter the community, you will see a large landscape fountain made of white marble in the central garden, which is magnificent under the light of the street lights. Bai Jiaying was able to buy the house here, which shows that she has strong financial strength.
Xue Gao was sitting in the car and started barking as soon as he approached the Xingfuli community.
[It’s here.] 】
[My home is here.] 】
[Drive forward and turn right in front. That building, yes, that one! 】
Xuegao is still young and doesn't have much concept of numbers. He can't clearly tell which district, building or floor it is. But he has a good memory and guided Xia Muchan all the way to the building where Bai Jiaying lives.
It took nearly half an hour from the time we discovered the ice cream to the time we drove to Xingfuli Community.
I didn’t expect that Xue Gao would chase the murderer alone and run for such a long time.
Looking at the time, it was already 10:30 in the evening. There were few pedestrians in the community. People from the Tieshan Reservoir Police Station and the Criminal Investigation Brigade had not arrived yet, but people from the community property management were already waiting downstairs.
Xia Mufan and Gu Shaoqi attended the dinner today, neither of them wearing police uniforms. They showed their police officer IDs and ran upstairs with the ice cream, leaving Xu Shumei sitting in the car.
The door of room 201 was locked.
Woof! Woof! Woof woof!
Ice Cream barked frantically at the door. It was so anxious that it ran around in circles, stretched out its front paws and put them on the door, scratching it non-stop.
[Master, master!] 】
[Open the door quickly.] 】
[The police are here.] 】
The people at the property management company were so anxious that they were sweating. When the police station called and said there was a homicide, they only mentioned the name Bai Jiaying. They spent a long time checking the list of owners before they found this building.
After moving in after renovations, residents changed their door locks, and the spare keys originally left with the property management company became useless. They had just called the emergency contact, but no one answered the call. Now the door could not be opened and no one knew what was going on inside.
No one dared to break in the door just because of the dog barking there.
Xia Mufan frowned.
Just now in the car, she had asked Xuegao in detail. Two men broke into the house and Bai Jiaying was stabbed several times in the chest. Blood was all over the floor. She was probably in danger.
I had already dialed 120 and 110, but because we only knew the resident's name and not the specific building number, Xia Muchan arrived first.
Time is life.
Maybe the person can still be saved.
Xia Mufan cast his gaze towards Gu Shaoqi, who nodded and said to the property management staff, "Break the door!"
The property management staff had brought an axe with them. When they heard the police's order, they immediately started to break the door lock and open the door.
A strong smell of blood hit me in the face.
The ice cream started to whine.
Hearing it calling for its owner again and again and looking at the figure lying in the living room, Xia Mufan felt very uncomfortable.
Gu Shaoqi put on gloves and squatted down to check on Bai Jiaying's condition.
After a while, he shook his head.
Xia Mufan finally understood why everyone in the Criminal Investigation Team was afraid of Forensic Doctor Gu shaking his head.
When Forensic Doctor Gu shook his head, it meant that the person was dead.
Bai Jiaying had long hair draped over her shoulders and a plump figure. She was wearing loose home clothes made of silk, a sleeveless long skirt with a black background and red flowers. She was only wearing one slipper on her feet, and the other one was thrown somewhere unknown.
She wore a pure gold bracelet on her wrist and her fingernails and toenails were painted with brightly colored nail polish.
Ice Cream lay on the living room floor, looking at his master's body and began to wail.
[Wow, wow, wow... The master is dead.] 】
[The bad guy has taken the little master away!] 】
[I couldn't beat them, so I was kicked away and the door was closed. I jumped off the balcony and didn't catch up. 】
[I'm useless, I'm a stupid dog.] 】
Seeing it crying pitifully, Xia Mufan squatted beside it and gently stroked its head: "Don't cry, we will help you find your little master and avenge your master."
Maybe because Xuegao is young and has been in this family for a short time, a close relationship has not yet been fully established. He does not call Wang Lixia "Mom" like Doudou does, but respectfully calls her "Master" and "Little Master".
But dogs are very loyal. Once they recognize their owner, they will be loyal for life.
The dog was lying on the ground crying, and the people from the property management company were amazed: "This dog understands human nature. It actually cried when it saw its owner in trouble!"
There was a beep...beep...beep...sound from downstairs, and the ambulance and police car arrived quickly.
Yue Yuan, with members of the Serious Crime Unit 7, met up with police officers from the police station and quickly entered the crime scene to conduct an investigation.
When Yue Yuan saw Xia Mufan, he glanced at the ice cream lying next to her and couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of luck is this? You were going home after eating and drinking, and you actually encountered a murder case on the way."
Xia Mufan was also somewhat helpless: "There's nothing I can do. It's just a coincidence that we met."
Yue Yuan said: "Okay, I'll leave this case to you, Group 7. If there is any situation, please communicate with the police at the police station."
Xia Mushige straightened his back and responded loudly: "Yes!"
The Serious Crime Unit 7 had a new case. Everyone looked at each other and immediately started investigating the scene.
Gong Weiguo and Sun Xianbing worked in perfect harmony to take photos at the scene and collect evidence.
Feng Xiaoyu and Yu Jing began to collect information about the deceased.
Zhou Wei brought a white coat and a tool box to Gu Shaoqi, and the master and apprentice began to work on a preliminary autopsy.
Xia Mufan found the dog leash, put it around Xue Gao's neck, and Xue Gao ran downstairs with her.
Yue Yuan followed closely behind Xia Mufan, on the one hand to prevent her from being alone, and on the other hand to cover up her special abilities.
You can't say that Xia Mufan heard Xue Gao calling the police, so he brought the team here, right?
Ice Cream was squatting in a bush downstairs and barking.
[They have a car.] 】
[A yellow taxi. 】
After snatching Ruirui, they got in the car and ran away. Ruirui drank the milk and was sleeping. He was very well behaved and didn't make any noise. 】
After Xia Mufan relayed Xue Gao's words, Yue Yuan immediately contacted the traffic police brigade: "A yellow taxi with an unknown license plate, two male criminals, and a one-year-old baby, started from Xingfuli Community, passed Chenguang Avenue, and headed north."
Xue Gao was also frightened and confused by the kick from the gangster. Information about the murder case came out like toothpaste, a little at a time.
Xia Mufan took it for a walk around the community, talking as he ran, and finally figured out the murder process.
Bai Jiaying is not a local, but she has lived in Xingfuli community with her child for more than a year.
Three months ago, she bought Ice Cream at the pet store, and since then there has been a dog in her family.
This afternoon, Bai Jiaying received a phone call and talked for a long time with a smile on her face the whole time. At about 9:40 in the evening, someone knocked on the door and Bai Jiaying happily went to open it.
As the door opened, two young men in old black T-shirts and jeans rushed in.
Bai Jiaying screamed when she found out that the other person was not the one she was waiting for, but she was no match for two adult men alone. One of them closed the door, and the other pulled out a dagger and stabbed her in the neck.
Ice cream was originally lying in the iron cage on the balcony, and he immediately ran over when he heard the noise.
It has not received any training, but its instinct makes it become alert and bark when it sees strangers.
When he smelled the blood and saw Bai Jiaying lying in a pool of blood, Xuegao was terrified. But it is a sheepdog and it must protect its territory.
So the ice cream rushed forward and wanted to bite the other party.
Unfortunately, it was young and small in size, and as soon as it rushed over, one of the people kicked it and kicked it into the corner of the living room.
They didn't even look at Bai Jiaying who fell to the ground. They rushed straight into the bedroom, took out the sleeping baby, and then closed the door.
Ice cream struggled to get up from the ground, but the door was closed. It quickly ran to the balcony and saw the two men get into a yellow taxi.
At that moment, the shepherd dog's blood gave it only one thought in its mind: catch up and bring Ruirui back!
As a result, Ruirui was not brought back, but Xue Gao luckily met Xia Mushige.
Otherwise, it is unknown when this premeditated murder will be discovered.
Xia Mushige returned to the scene with ice cream.
The police have set up a cordon at the scene, and residents are gradually gathering under the building to watch the fun.
"No wonder I seemed to hear a dog barking, the sound was a bit miserable. I thought it was the 201 students who were teaching a disobedient dog a lesson, but who knew that someone would die, oh!"
"I've never seen this woman go to work, but she dresses very stylishly. I don't know what she does for a living."
"What kind of job could it be? Looking at her appearance, you can tell she's a rich man's kept mistress. She thought she could get married after giving birth to a son, but who knew that others didn't even take her seriously."
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Xia Mufan seemed to be thinking about something.
Bai Jiaying lives alone with her child in such a high-end neighborhood. Judging from her clothes and interior furnishings, she must be a wealthy person. A young and beautiful woman in her early twenties, who has no job, can afford to buy a house and support two people and a dog. Is there any special reason behind this?
Now the murderer has escaped, the child is missing, and even Bai Jiaying’s identity has not been clarified. There is still a lot to do to solve the case.
Back at 201, in order to prevent the ice cream from ruining the scene, Xia Mufan led it to the door and let it lie down and wait.
Feng Xiaoyu came over, took a look at the ice cream waiting obediently by the side, and reported: "Team leader, according to the information registered by Bai Jiaying at the property management, she is married, but no one in the community has seen her husband. The family used to have a middle-aged nanny named Chen Huimin, but she fired the nanny a month ago and stayed at home alone to take care of the baby. According to the residents of the community, she doesn't like to go out much and rarely talks about her own affairs with others, but she will take ice cream and push Ruirui out for a walk at a fixed time every day."
