Chapter 41
It was late at night, and this ultra-high-end residential area with a low occupancy rate was sparsely populated and extremely quiet.
In the spacious and clean parking lot, in an inconspicuous corner, there was an inconspicuous black car parked.
There were two men, one in the driver's seat, with one arm resting on the steering wheel, his chin supported, looking towards the elevator exit of Building 3. The other was sitting in the back row, with a laptop on the empty seat next to him, displaying six surveillance screens - these were requisitioned by the police from the property management of the residential complex, corresponding to the ground exits of Building 3, the two vehicular exits and three pedestrian exits of the residential complex.
The two policemen have been doing this kind of work for half a month. But Xiang Siling behaved normally every day. Apart from going to work and taking her children to training classes, she also cooperated with the police. There are no other activities, and I never go out at night.
So, in the eyes of the two policemen, tonight will definitely be another quiet and boring night.
"I'll take a nap for a while." The policeman in the front row said, "It will be your turn later."
"OK."
They have other tasks during the day and only come here to take over in the evening. The criminal police team has limited staff, and with the Qian Chengfeng serial case happening recently, everyone is extremely busy. It can only be said that Ding Guoqiang does not treat people as human beings, especially young guys like them who have just graduated for two years. In the eyes of the boss, they are no different from donkeys. They are at the age where they need to train and exercise, and do not need to rest.
Ten minutes later, the policeman in the front row had tilted his head to sleep, and the policeman in the back row yawned loudly and tried hard to keep his eyelids open, but he was afraid to sleep. He lowered his head to glance at the calm surveillance screen, then looked up again and saw two women rushing out of the stairwell.
He perked up and slapped his colleague in the front row to wake him up.
It was Xiang Siling and her blonde nanny. Xiang Siling looked anxious, the nanny was holding the child in her arms, and the two of them ran towards the car.
"It looks like the child is sick." A policeman muttered. The other person kept staring at Xiang Siling's expression, unable to find any loopholes, and said, "Follow from a distance."
Two cars, one in front and one behind, left the parking lot.
We rushed all the way to the pediatric emergency department of the Third Municipal Hospital.
Two policemen were standing at the end of the corridor. They saw from afar that after Xiang Siling had registered, she took the medical record book and said something to the nurse at the triage desk with an anxious look. The nurse waved her hand and asked them to hold the child and cut in line to enter the doctor's office first.
It looks like some kind of emergency.
After a few minutes, the two women came out again like a gust of wind. The nanny took the child to the pediatric treatment room, and Xiang Siling ran to the pharmacy with the prescription. After a while, she ran to the treatment room with a bag of supplies for infusion.
A policeman followed her silently. Another police officer walked over to the nurse at the triage desk, blocked other people's view with his body, showed his ID photo, and asked in a low voice: "What happened to the child that the foreigner was holding just now?"
The nurse was stunned for a moment and replied: "Fever, high temperature convulsion."
The police understood that this was not a minor case, so there was no problem.
Inside the pediatric emergency observation room.
It is probably not the peak flu season now, and there are only three children sleeping in this six-bed ward. Qian Sitian was sleeping on bed number 1 and was already receiving an IV.
Through the glass, the police caught a glimpse of Qian Sitian's little face. Her eyes were closed and they couldn't see anything. Xiang Siling was wearing a beige windbreaker and sitting on the bed with the nanny.
The police glanced at the layout of the ward again. There was another door opposite, but it was locked from the inside. There is also a window, and outside the window is a small courtyard with two abandoned children's rocking cars inside.
The policeman withdrew his gaze and discussed with another person, planning to guard the two ends of the corridor, one on the left and one on the right.
"It's not easy for Xiang Siling either." A policeman sighed.
"That's right. A single mother like this has to rely on herself for everything. Even if she has money, it's still hard work. Let's stay away from her so she doesn't find out and scare the child."
"good."
——
In the police station meeting room.
After Li Qingyao and Chen Pu expressed their opinions, there was a buzz of discussion in the room. Fang Hao was the first to jump out and express his opposition:
"I don't agree with Team Two's statement. Solving a case is not like a criminal investigation TV show where you can't rely on some specious 'reasoning' to solve the case. Everything must be based on evidence. I can also refute the five points Li Qingyao mentioned with so-called 'reasoning' -
First, height. It is a general rule to infer the height of the suspect from the length of the footprints left at the scene, but it is not 100% accurate. For example, some people are tall and strong, but due to habit or some physical problem, they cannot take big steps. Or maybe he just jogged all the way to the tent. The soil there was relatively hard, the quality of the footprints was not very good, and the depth of the footprints could not be measured. So I think that height cannot be used to exclude Luo Long as a suspect.
Second, economic ability. Even though the two of them are financially strapped now, don't forget that Shangren was imprisoned in the 1990s. In that era, gun control was not strict. He was still a gang leader at the time, so it was not surprising for him to own a gun. Could it be that Shangren hid the gun somewhere before going to prison and took it out now to commit the crime?
Third, personality traits. I won’t say much about this because they are all subjective judgments, not objective.
Fourth, Luo Long is a sexual criminal, why didn’t he attack Xiang Siling? This shows that his hatred for the deceased is greater than his momentary sexual desire. And you also said that Xiang Siling was full of lies. Maybe she was hiding something, and we don't know for sure whether Luo Long did anything to her.
Fifth, motivation. Luo Long boasted in prison that his two college friends were his followers. After being released from prison, Luo Long saw that both of them were doing better than him, one had embarked on the right path and became a teacher, while the other had become a boss and made a lot of money. Would he feel resentful? Will he fail in extorting money from them and then become resentful and murderous? You know, some people often can't stand it when people who are the same as themselves climb higher, and they become crazy jealous. On the contrary, they don’t care about those who surpass them from the beginning.
Therefore, all your five reasons are untenable.
On the contrary, Luo Long, do you remember the last meeting? We listed 14 conditions for being a killer. How many of them did he meet? An acquaintance, knows Xiang Siling, has the same footprints, is well-trained, has rich criminal experience, and has the conditions to obtain a pistol...
The most important are the other two points: First, it is unreasonable that the murderer would rather expose his appearance than kill Si Ling. But if it happens to Luo Long, it makes sense, because he has a close relationship with Shang Ren; second, they took the initiative to submit their resumes and went to Heilifeng to find a job. If Luo Long is not the murderer, how do you explain this? There are thousands of jobs in the whole Xiangcheng. Don’t tell me this is a coincidence. I can’t even win the lottery. Moreover, they were two grown men. Shang Ren was still very strong even though he was fifty years old. No one could put a knife to their necks and force them to go to Heili Peak.
Then again, if they are not the murderer, then who is the murderer? Who can meet so many conditions at the same time like Luo Long? Who had the motive to kill those two people? Can he also remotely control Luo Long and the other two to go to Heili Peak to find a job? A person who is speculated out of thin air, his existence is currently not supported by any evidence. ”
