Guo Xing lives in Wangcheng, a suburb of Xiangcheng City, which is a large villa area. Because it was built not long ago, the occupancy rate is not high. Guo Xing lives in one of the buildings. There are only a few stores at the entrance of the community, including a small convenience supermarket, a drugstore, a fruit store, and two or three restaurants, one of which is a wild fish restaurant and the other is a home-style restaurant. It was almost noon and there were already some customers, so business was pretty good.
According to the property registration information, someone else rented the villa. After a brief check, the police found that it was a fake ID.
Jing Ping, You Mingxu brought Xu Mengshan and two other forensics personnel to the outside of the villa. Including Xu Mengshan, all they knew was that they had to hunt down the suspect. Since he had received the order from above, You Mingxu would naturally not speak to his partner on his own initiative. When the time comes when it can no longer be hidden, those who should know will naturally know.
I didn’t expect that the villa rented by this gangster was quite romantic. It's a pretty big yard with a fish pond and the flowers and plants are well tended. You Mingxu went closer to the fish pond and took a look. It was interesting to see that this person did not raise goldfish. Instead, there were several grass carp and silver carp swimming in the pond. Their fins were white and bright in color. They were all as long as their forearms and of uniform size.
The door lock was intact and showed no signs of damage. Xu Mengshan took out the key he got from the property management and opened the door. At first glance, it seemed empty and quiet inside.
A few people walked in. The house was simply decorated and the furnishings in the living room were also simple, with a sofa, a coffee table and a TV. Other than that, it's empty. The stairs are on the inside. You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan already had a tacit understanding. At this time, Xu Mengshan walked to the trash can in the house, put on gloves, and looked through the things inside. You Mingxu walked to the coffee table, picked up the things on it and looked at them one by one. Two forensic officers began searching and collecting fingerprints in the house.
Jingping stood behind them and became the one with the least time. His habit was to first observe the terrain. The living room had windows on three sides, so he wondered if it was suitable for escape. The stairs leading upstairs are narrow and there are no secret compartments. He turned up the sofa cushions, felt around, and realized there were no drugs hidden there. Even a veteran like Guo Xing would not hide drugs in such an obvious place. Thinking of this, he smiled meaningfully.
Xu Mengshan picked up the takeout box from the garbage bag, opened it and smelled it, frowned and said, "The temperature in the room is low, but it has already started to stink. It has been there for at least three days."
You Mingxu looked at him. She was holding a few pairs of takeout tableware, all from the same store, the same as the ones in Xu Mengshan's hand.
Both of them understood what was in each other's eyes. Guo Xing prefers takeout from this restaurant. There are no other lunch boxes at home, which means that the previous lunch boxes have been thrown away. Judging from the cleanliness of the house, it can also be concluded that Guo Xing is not a sloppy person. In other words, the takeaway meal three days ago was most likely the last meal he ordered.
You Mingxu gave Xu Mengshan a wink, and he immediately looked up the store's phone number on the Internet and called it. Sure enough, because Guo Xing had ordered takeout from this restaurant, the owner also remembered it and said, "Yes, we ordered a meal at this address three days ago, but we haven't ordered it in the past few days."
You Mingxu turned around and said to Jing Ping: "The time of disappearance is most likely the afternoon three days ago."
Jingping nodded. This is consistent with the time estimated by the companions who were watching from a distance outside. But because I was planning to play the long game and hook the big fish, I didn't watch him closely, and as a result, the person disappeared.
Jingping walked up the stairs and when he reached the corner, he looked down and saw a group of people including You Mingxu scattered around the living room, continuing to work quietly and attentively. The work of a criminal police is probably much more boring and tedious than that of a narcotics police, but of course it is also exciting and dangerous. But it was different from the hail of bullets he had often encountered before. For some reason, looking at these new companions, Jingping felt a soft and peaceful feeling in his heart. He shook his head and smiled, then went upstairs.
There are three bedrooms upstairs, but only the largest master bedroom has a bed and a wardrobe, and there is nothing else. The furniture is all brand new. Jing Ping looked around and finally walked to the bed, leaned against the wall, and looked for a long time. He pushed the bed open and felt the wood behind the head of the bed inch by inch. When he touched a piece, his eyebrows moved, and he took out a screwdriver from his pocket. He gently pushed it, and the piece of wood fell off, revealing a bag of white powder inside.
By the time You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan walked into the bedroom, Jing Ping had already searched out four bags of such powder from various hidden corners on the second floor and placed them on the floor. It adds up to at least 300 grams.
Jing Ping put the screwdriver and pocket screwdriver back into his pocket and raised a test paper in his hand. The test paper had turned blue. He said, "It's heroin."
You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan had never been involved in this kind of work in depth before, and they were shocked. They picked up the small bag and took a look. Xu Mengshan said: "Awesome. With these, is it enough to sentence Guo Xing to death?"
Jing Ping stood up and put all the drugs into the evidence bag, his tone was indifferent: "Yes." He did not seem excited at all, his brows and eyes were still lazy. You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan looked at each other and thought: This guy must have seen the world and doesn't take 300 grams of heroin seriously.
However, as You Mingxu looked at Jing Ping standing there silently, he felt that this man had a special temperament. Is it true that every meritorious policeman who has escaped death is like this, who remains calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing in front of him, and is unfathomable?
After coming out of the master bedroom, the three of them went into the secondary bedroom next door. This room is completely empty, there is nothing in it. The three of them went in, took a look around and came out to collect evidence for the forensic personnel.
There are a few lockers in the third room, which are also new. You Mingxu opened a cabinet and found several quilts inside, including thick ones, spring and autumn quilts, and air-conditioning quilts, all of which were new and unopened. You Mingxu smiled and said, "It seems that Guo Xing is a very meticulous person in his life and has made plans to live here for a long time. All the furniture is new, and he bought quilts for all seasons at once."
Xu Mengshan added: "So 'disappearance' was at least not in his plan."
They both looked at Jingping, he stared at the quilts and nodded.
In the second cabinet, there were some miscellaneous items: a household tool box. Xu Mengshan opened it and took a look. There was a hammer, wrench, screwdriver, and electric drill. Everything was missing. Xu Mengshan took a look at a few packages of screws and hardware and said, "They should be extra from installing furniture." You Mingxu added, "Guo Xing is indeed very careful in his life."
The cabinet was half a square meter wide, half of it was filled with these things, and the other half was empty. Xu Mengshan said: "What's missing?"
You Mingxu was stunned. This scene seemed familiar. It had once been in Zhang Wei's office at Fenjinbao Company. She and that man had discovered the removed tea set, and then they gradually deduced the whereabouts of the evidence for which Fan Jia had exchanged his life.
————
The image of that man standing next to her, smiling at her and trying to take credit for himself flashed through her mind. You Mingxu immediately calmed himself down and turned his gaze back to the cabinet that was obviously half empty. The traces are so obvious, either the person who took the things didn't have time to cover it up. Or, just never thought about covering it up. Given that there were no signs of intrusion or fighting in the house, there was no sign of a second person present. If someone really had been there and cleaned up the scene so properly, there would be no time to cover it up. So, she tends to be the latter and doesn't need to hide it. Moreover, the person who took the things was Guo Xing himself.
Leaning in to take a closer look, she found a little mud on the wooden board inside the cabinet. She smeared a little, brought it to her nose and sniffed it; it had a slightly fishy smell. Then she stuck her head into the cupboard again and sniffed hard.
While she was doing this, Xu Mengshan was lighting her with his mobile phone and also sticking his head in to smell it. Jing Ping stood behind the two of them and did not disturb them. When You Mingxu smeared some mud and smelled it, Jing Ping's gaze followed and fell on her fingers and nose.
You Mingxu turned around and smiled at him: "I roughly know where Guo Xing went three days ago. Wait a few minutes, I'll go confirm it." Xu Mengshan whistled, and vaguely felt that something was wrong with the whole house, but there was still a lack of inspiration in his mind and he couldn't put the whole thing together. Otherwise, would he be willing to call her "Sister You"?
Jing Ping's attention was habitually focused on detecting drugs and arresting people, and he didn't pay attention to too many trace details. Upon hearing this, he raised his single eyelids and glanced at You Mingxu with a half-smile on his face.
You Mingxu said, "Don't you want to see our criminal investigation skills? Wait."
Jing Ping smiled as he looked at the angular girl, who went downstairs, went out, and walked towards the gate of the community.
Jing Ping turned around and asked Xu Mengshan: "Is she always so aggressive?"
Xu Mengshan said: "Yes, Sister You is the bully in this game. But don't worry, Brother Jing, she always bullies the weak and fears the strong, and she will never dare to make trouble for you."
Jing Ping laughed again and said, "So is her boyfriend being bullied to death?"
Xu Mengshan thought of Yin Feng and said unhappily, "How can she have a boyfriend now? No, she is single."
Jingping didn't seem to care and turned to check somewhere else.
Not long after, You Mingxu came back, pressed his hand on the door, and said with a smile: "Guys, I got the address, follow me."
