Snapped--!
The cowhide notebook hit the ground hard, saving Chen Jie from the Sandman in an instant. She almost jumped up from her seat.
"Ha--" Chen Jie yawned sleepily, scratched her hair and looked at the time, 5:24.
"woke up?"
Chen Jie quickly turned her head. The desk behind her was Li Zan, who was browsing the transcripts of the mutilation case. There was no trace of exhaustion from staying up all night on the other person's face. There was not even a drop of oil on his face. He was clean and refreshing, which made people jealous.
"Captain Li, have you been up all night?
Li Zan didn't reply. He took a sip of strong tea and his mind was filled with the contents of the case transcript.
Time goes back to yesterday afternoon at 3:30 -
"Next." Li Zan: "The trace inspection department will come first."
The representative of the Trace Inspection Department is their senior trace inspection engineer. He is old and has an honest and ordinary appearance. He wears thick-soled glasses and looks like he is doing academic research: "The crime scene is in a village in the city. It is surrounded by apartments and rental houses.
The farmer's building usually has a large flow of people, so traces of the scene are basically destroyed and no useful clues can be found."
"All the items in the well have been recovered, and nothing belonging to the deceased has been found after analysis and testing. In other words, the murderer may still have the deceased's clothes, or he may throw them away from the crime scene."
Chen Jie: "If I were the murderer, I would definitely throw it far away to prevent the police from finding out the identity of the deceased."
The representative of the Trace Inspection Section nodded: "In homicide cases, the murderer disposed of the deceased and his clothes separately in order to erase traces of the crime, reduce clues to solve the case, and prevent the police from finding out the identity of the deceased. The purpose is to hinder the police from solving the case."
Lao Zeng continued: "However, the murderer's subconscious behavior just shows that he knew the deceased and had a certain connection."
In a murder case, the first suspect in criminal investigation is the person who has the closest contact with the deceased.
Li Zan: "Didn't you find the deceased's missing ear beads?"
Representative from the Trace Inspection Department: “No.”
Li Zan: "Have the results of the lady's wallet and blood sample I asked Lao Zeng to bring come out?"
Zhong Xueru immediately said: "After testing, the blood sample results were the same as the deceased's DNA. The woman's wallet had two fingerprints, one was the same as the deceased, and the other was different. We compared the fingerprint database and found no identical fingerprints."
"No criminal record." Ji Chengling said.
There was a large flow of people at the crime scene, many traces were basically destroyed, and no useful clues could be found.
At present, the identity of the deceased cannot be found, and the first crime scene is unknown. There are no clues except a pile of broken corpses.
"Look for missing persons cases in the past four days." Li Zan said: "Wang, are there any clues in the surveillance video?"
Behind Chen Jie, Wang had no sense of presence. It wasn't until he was named that he attracted everyone's attention.
He said: "The Trace Inspection Section took surveillance cameras installed at the entrances of Lanes 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 within 4 days, and we found a total of 57 suitcases. The bags passed through these five lane entrances respectively.
Suspicious person."
"Excluding the busy time period from day to midnight, there are 13 people left. Excluding those who entered Alley 7, there are a total of 5 people."
Chen Jie: “Why exclude Lane 7?”
"Because the alleyway in Lane 7 is blocked." Wang tapped on the computer, and a photo appeared on the multimedia screen, which showed the alleyway in Lane 7 that was blocked by debris.
Li Zan: "The main road can lead to every alley, and surveillance cameras are installed at the alley entrances. But there are also narrow alleys between buildings without surveillance cameras. This shows that the murderer chose the old well as the place to dump the body.
He is familiar with the terrain and will naturally choose small alleys without surveillance."
Wang nodded and continued: "We are already investigating the identities of these five people. Other than that, the surveillance cameras inside the apartment have no useful clues."
There is very little information, but within half a day, enough clues have been obtained for a vicious corpse dismemberment case that is not a crime scene.
Ji Chengling admitted that the case was very difficult and the only direction of investigation was to monitor the five suspicious persons.
The conference room was very quiet, with only the sound of typing on the keyboard and the sound of ballpoint pens taking notes. Everyone was trying to find the murderer from clues.
"To summarize." Li Zan suddenly spoke.
Chen Jie and Ji Chengling found that others had put down their work and listened attentively, as if Li Zan could guide them in finding the direction in the fog as soon as he opened his mouth.
"The deceased lived in Liulian and knew the murderer. The murderer is familiar with the terrain and is most likely a local resident or tenant. First, look for missing persons in the past four days, then check the population of Liulian, and secondly, pay attention to the second-hand mobile phone market in Dongcheng District in the past four days.
transactions, focusing on second-hand mobile phones of unknown origin.”
Everyone else nodded in agreement, and Ji Chengling asked: "Why do you pay attention to the second-hand mobile phone market?"
"Because the deceased was robbed before his death." Li Zan closed the file and threw it back to Lao Zeng, saying, "Old Zhong, throw the bag over here."
Zhong Xueru threw the lady's bag in the evidence bag, and Li Zan easily caught it and placed it on the table. His index finger pointed at the nameplate of the lady's wallet: "Chen Jie, if it were you, would you throw away this bag?"
Chen Jie leaned over and saw the golden nameplate on the lady's wallet, and immediately shook her head: "Absolutely not! Prada, brand new, the price is around 1,300. I'm afraid it will break when I install my mobile phone."
Li Zan: "There is a dent the size of a mobile phone in the wallet."
Chen Jie shrugged: "Obviously more generous than me."
Ji Chengling asked unconvinced: "How are you sure that the deceased was robbed? It may be that the murderer threw away his wallet."
Li Zan: "If it was the murderer, he would not have carefully removed anything inside that could prove the identity of the deceased, and then carelessly threw the wallet under the trash can. Moreover, there were scratches on the temples of the deceased, and the blood stains found in the alley were far from the ground.
The height is about 1.5 meters, excluding the possibility of blood stains dripping from the dumped body - checking the surveillance cameras in Alley 9 and Alley 10 from 8 pm to 2 am 5 days ago, we should be able to find the owner of another fingerprint."
Wang: "Okay."
Chen Jie quietly moved behind Lao Zeng and asked: "Since it is confirmed that the deceased and the murderer live in Liulian Village, and the surveillance cameras have also found five suspects, why do we have to go to such trouble to find a robber?"
"Because we can't let go of any possibility." Lao Zeng said while sorting out the information: "Maybe the robber happened to see the deceased. Maybe the five suspects were not the murderers. Maybe our guess was wrong, and neither the deceased nor the murderer lived in Liulian Village.
.Perhaps the robber stole money and killed people at the same time - in criminal investigation cases, especially murder cases, you have to pursue the highest efficiency, and you can't let go of even the smallest clue."
"Wow!" Chen Jie realized later: "With just a few clues and in such a short time, Team Li summarized such complete information."
"...This is too awesome."
She seemed to understand a little bit what she meant when she left last term.
Lao Zeng smiled: "Let's get to work."
――――
Chen Jie: "Captain Li, you gave a gift to the economic investigation team yesterday, right?"
Yesterday afternoon, after the meeting, Li Zan walked into the door of the Economic Investigation Department next door carrying a large gift bag. When he came out, the gift box in his hand was gone.
Li Zan looked up at her: "Guess what I want to do?"
"It's not very good..." Chen Jie pretended to decline, then quickly changed her face after two seconds: "Are you sending favors in advance to help solve the case?"
Li Zan took out a Java course design book from the side and rolled it into a volume: "I have an insight into every detail, and I have a sharp eye. If I don't give you any reward, I would be too stingy."
Chen Jie stood at attention and straightened her back, saying with dignity and dignity: "Give me another chance, I can do it!"
"explain."
"Your gift bag box yesterday was bright red, with a yellow Forbidden City pattern printed on the upper right corner. My dad is a regular smoker, so I know that pattern is the logo of Zhonghua Cigarettes. In addition, the bottom of the gift bag box is protruding, which reflects the weight of the cigarettes.
The gift box will not be crushed unless there is wine inside! A pair of smokers and wine, two children, a double happiness, boss, how do you think I hold it up?"
"There must be a place for you under the overpass."
"My level is average, and I am a low-key person." Chen Jie modestly said: "So you are promoting business for the economic investigation? Are you cheating on tobacco and alcohol?"
Criminal investigation and economic investigation are affiliated to the criminal police department. The former handles criminal investigation work, while the latter handles major economic crimes, such as major tobacco and alcohol fraud cases.
Li Zan snapped his fingers: "Smart."
Before Chen Jie could get happy, Li Zan pushed all the information on the table to her: "Don't live up to dad's earnest expectations for you. Read them all today and report them in the evening. Come on, I'm very optimistic about you."
Chen Jie: "..."
Is this still a person?
boom--!
The door of the criminal investigation office was kicked open, and Ji Chengling rushed in, followed by the slow Wang and Lao Zeng. The three of them stood in front of Li Zan. The huge dark circles under his eyes were medals for staying up all night.
Ji Chengling: "We investigated and compared the five suspicious persons who appeared in the surveillance, and the result was that they had nothing to do with the murder."
Lao Zeng: “The identity of the deceased has been confirmed.”
Hearing this, everyone's attention shifted to Lao Zeng.
"Two days ago, someone came to the police station to report a case, saying that her sister had been missing for two days. The missing woman's name is Xiao Hua, 24 years old, 1.62 meters tall and weighing 45 kilograms. She is an employee of a nightclub in Jinyuan Plaza. Jin
Yuan Square and Liulian Village are separated by a big road, so many tenants in Liulian Village work in the square." Old Zeng handed a note to Li Zan: "Xiao Hua lives in a farmer's building in Lane 11 of Liulian Village.
The top floor is the staff dormitory rented by the company."
Li Zan: "Have you compared DNA?"
"The results came out and it was confirmed that they are the same person."
The transcript contains a one-inch bareheaded photo of Xiao Hua, with a beautiful appearance and clear eyes, while the autopsy photo next to it shows a swollen and rotting head. The contrast is stark and tragic, which is saddening.
Wang said weakly: "After watching the surveillance cameras from 8 o'clock in the evening to 2 o'clock in the morning five days ago, we found the suspect of the robbery. At about 11 o'clock, a man of medium build passed by Alley 10 and snatched away the deceased's wallet.
Finally, pour out the valuable things inside and throw them into the trash can. If you didn’t throw them in, they fell down.”
"By the way. Xiao Hua didn't appear in the surveillance. She probably took the unmonitored alleyway back to the dormitory in Lane 11."
Li Zan grabbed his coat and put it on, and said: "Now we set out to investigate Xiao Hua's interpersonal relationships, focusing on her relationship between men and women. I went to the crime scene and the deceased's dormitory, and Chen Jie and the bureau's treasure Qing Miaozi went to the deceased's workplace to investigate
.Lao Zeng continues to look for the suspect who robbed Xiao Hua, Wang——"
"ah?"
"Go on."
The king tilted his head, lay down and fell asleep.
Li Zan was moving swiftly and resolutely, and his speed was so fast that no one could be seen after giving instructions, and his feet were still moving as fast as if they were on pulleys.
Ji Chengling, the 'treasure youngster of the General Administration', was full of anger. Li Zan's few words could always ignite his boiling point, but every time he ran so fast that he couldn't burst out and had to swallow the smoke in his stomach.
Just...even more angry!
..
Building 7, Lane 11, the farmer’s building where the deceased Xiao Hua lived.
The corridors of the 7 buildings are narrow, and there are no monitoring or electronic anti-theft iron doors installed. Anyone can enter the building, and the safety factor is very low. However, most of them are rented out in the style of three bedrooms and two living rooms, and are usually converted by the company into employee dormitories or shared by multiple people, so
It is difficult to track the corpses of murdered people and can be eliminated.
Li Zan walked into a wonton shop, sat down and said: "A big bowl of wontons stuffed with corn and meat, without adding coriander or green onions."
The proprietress was the only one in the store, and she replied: "Wait a moment."
Then he went into the kitchen to get busy.
Building 7 is opposite the Wonton Shop, and two people walked down the corridor. The first one was a woman, about forty years old, wearing a red sweater and black wide-leg pants, and about 1.5 meters tall.
A man walked out of the corridor behind her and stopped on the street. The warm sun above his head was shining against the light, so he couldn't see what he looked like. He was very tall, wearing a black stand-up collar work jacket with the zipper pulled to the top, and trousers and trousers of the same color.
sneakers.
Shoulders wide, legs long, standard build.
In terms of appearance, he doesn't look like someone who would hang out in a village in the city.
They chatted for a few words and then walked this way.
When the cooked wontons were served, Li Zan took out a paper towel and wiped his chopsticks. He noticed that the woman's walking posture was weird and stiff, as if she had a walker brace tied to her calf.
They entered the store, chose a table near the door, and sat across from Li Zan. From his angle, they could see the face of a middle-aged woman and the back of a strange man.
Jiang Heng said: "Boss, make a big bowl of wontons stuffed with corn and meat. Add more coriander and more green onions."
Alien.
Li Zan swallowed the wontons in one gulp, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the hand of the man opposite him resting on the edge of the table, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His cold white skin was different from that of most yellow people.
The fingers are slightly curled, slender and clear, the wrist bones are prominent, and the lines are smooth. An old amulet red rope is worn on the wrist. When the amulet is gone, only the red rope is left.
It's quite eye-catching when placed on that cold white wrist.
The landlady saw him coming in at the cashier a long time ago, and she quickly responded: "Okay. We also have homemade sour bamboo shoots for free. Do you want it, handsome man?"
"Have some."
"Please wait."
When the proprietress entered the kitchen, the middle-aged woman immediately spoke in plastic Mandarin and said: "Mr. Jiang's taste is quite strong, unlike people from Guangdong Province."
"I stayed in the north for a few years." Jiang Heng explained simply, and then said directly: "Sister Lin, I don't have much time, I have to catch the flight the day after tomorrow. If there is no problem, we will settle the matter."
Mrs. Lin: "Of course I have no problem, but I have to contact the seller. The seller is reluctant to part with it. He has to think about it. I will try my best to persuade you, ah, to help you lower the price."
Jiang Heng asked while mixing the sauce and vinegar: "Give me a certain time."
Mrs. Lin hesitated.
Jiang Heng was not in a hurry and slowly stirred the sauce and vinegar with chopsticks: "Just forget it if you are procrastinating and not being sincere."
"Don't-" Mrs. Lin was afraid that if this big fish of his ran away, she would never be able to find the victim again, so she quickly promised: "Tomorrow! I promise that you will be able to meet the seller tomorrow."
Jiang Heng raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm not trying to buy or sell people. It doesn't matter if the people don't come, as long as the things arrive. Anyway, it's very convenient to pay and transfer money now."
He looked around at the surrounding wooden tables but couldn't find any condiments that suited his taste. So he turned around and saw that Li Zan's table had all the condiments.
Jiang Heng stood up and walked over. He saw that this man was eating wontons without dipping them in sauce and even adding a little vinegar. He felt that the wontons tasted really bland.
"Friend, do you still need these condiments?"
Hearing this, Li Zan looked up and finally saw the man's face. Sure enough, it was a face that matched his temperament. He was even more outstanding than expected. He was the center of attention as soon as he stood in the crowd.
"I don't have to, you can do whatever you want."
Then he watched this man pick out all the sauces except sauce and vinegar, even a small bottle of snowflake salt. He took them all back to his table and added chili sauce and snowflake salt to the original small saucer of sauce and vinegar.
And some fried soybeans.
This is the rhythm of eating wontons out of hot pot.
Li Zan felt that this person must have a sense of taste disorder.
When the landlady served the wontons from the table opposite, Li Zan happened to finish the last wonton and drank all the soup.
Just after the payment was completed, Chen Jie called.
Li Zan picked up the phone, but Ji Chengling's voice came from the phone: "We have traced a person with a big problem. He should be related to Xiao Hua's death. His name is Lu Xinda, and he is the regional foreman of the nightclub. He just said
After seeing our IDs, he immediately ran away from the kitchen, and based on the route, he might go back to the dormitory - he lives on the 12th floor of Building 10, Lane 9!"
"I see."
Li Zan hung up the phone and got up to go to Jiuxiang.
Witnessing the whole process of Jiang Heng's seasoning, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but straighten the corners of her mouth, which was quite round and round. She couldn't help but try not to make it too obvious to embarrass the big client, causing her cheeks to twitch and become paralyzed.
Jiang Heng thought she wanted to try it, so he confidently said: "I can help you mix one."
Mrs. Lin shook her head quickly: "No, no, Mr. Jiang, you can eat yours. I'm not hungry. I'm not hungry."
Jiang Heng didn't take it seriously. He picked up the wontons and dipped them in colorful sauces and put them in his mouth. He tasted them and found that they tasted good.
..
"Lu Xinda is about 27 years old, of medium height, with a handsome face - beep!" Ji Chengling couldn't believe it: "He hung up the phone?!"
Chen Jie took back her mobile phone: "Ah, I saw it."
Ji Chengling: "What is he doing?! Li Zan, what is he doing?! He has never met Lu Xinda, so he can't let others read the suspect's basic appearance information? He is arrogant and careless. If he lets the suspect go,
How does he explain it?"
Chen Jie comforted him: "Team Li has six years more experience than us, so we just have to trust him."
According to the information, Li Zan's internship was in the Criminal Investigation Office of the Municipal Bureau. He was made an exception and became a full-time employee six months early. Not long after, he was transferred to the branch for training. After working hard, he became useless.
It was originally a great future.
But even if the branch had a particularly bad reputation, Li Zan still had six years more experience than the two novices.
"Your branch has never thought about solving the case! You are lazy and just muddle along!"
Ji Chengling angrily accused Chen Jie, seeing that Chen Jie's face was blank and unrepentant, and she was so angry that this useless thing stepped on her chest and couldn't get out.
Not bothering to waste any more words, he turned around and ran towards Liulian Village.
Chen Jie spread her hands and shrugged. She was a newbie, a young person, but she was still a top-notch young talent. She was a little excited, so she understood.
..
Li Zan took a shortcut, passed through the alleyway of Lane 11, and was blocked at the entrance of Lane 10. A small iron door there that was never closed on weekdays was now locked.
The seamless iron door made of alloy has no gaps for fingers. It fits tightly against the top of the 2.5-meter-high cement frame. There is a concrete platform on top of the frame, which is square and about 3.5 meters high. There is no bracket underneath that can be stepped on.
The farmer's building next to it has pig liver-colored wall tiles, and the cracks in the bricks are so shallow and thin that they can't even fit fingernails.
However, Li Zan's footsteps did not slow down. Under the action of inertia, his body rushed forward, his hands and feet slapped the wall. With the friction resistance brought by the cracks in the bricks, his body was like an agile cheetah, jumping to the cement platform quickly and quickly in the blink of an eye.
He crossed the concrete platform in three steps and then jumped down to the ground lightly. He bent his calves slightly, rushed forward with his upper body, and slid to the other end of the alley in one go without any pause. He climbed up the wall and jumped to the side of Jiuxiang Street.
Li Zan pulled on his coat, straightened his hair, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly and handsomely towards Building 10 with his long legs.
The ten buildings are about 50 meters away from the old well where the body was thrown, which is very close, which is indeed consistent with the fact that they are familiar with the terrain.
It just doesn’t fit in with the common sense of ‘throw it far away and bury it close’ in criminal investigation cases.
When Li Zan was about ten meters away from Building 10, a man in a white shirt, black pants, black leather shoes, and a pink face hurriedly came down from Building 10, opened the door of the online car-hailing car parked downstairs, and was about to step in.
Li Zan shouted: "Lu Xinda!"
The man immediately turned his head. When he saw someone he didn't know, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He ran to the eighth alley, turned around and rushed out of the main road. He saw Ji Chengling and Chen Jie chasing after him from a distance, and he trembled and ran into the opposite direction.
The hand-holding building.
What is Hands-in-hand Building?
The characteristic of a village in the city is that there are densely populated high-rise peasant buildings, and there are countless alleys running vertically and horizontally. The distance between buildings is only one meter wide at most. It is often seen in the alleys that a door is suddenly pushed from the inside out while walking.
The passers-by who were hit hard showed how narrow it was.
Lu Xinda slipped into the narrow alley like a fish. The alley was filled with an endless stream of pedestrians. Without her oily slickness, she would not have been able to get through.
Ji Chengling squeezed in with all his strength, and after spending a long time, he looked back and saw that he was three meters away from the alley entrance!
When he was furious and was about to reveal his identity and track the suspect, Li Zan slipped in in front of him. His calmness and agility, not to mention how relaxed he was, showed that he had good skills that he often practiced by skipping work!
There were so many people in front of me, and Li Zan was nowhere to be seen in the blink of an eye.
Ji Chengling thought to himself, Li Zan must be stepping on a pulley.
Chen Jie admired: "The boss is so skilled... I have to ask the boss to help me when I go to the mall to get discounts."
Li Zan stopped and stared at Lu Xinda who was walking through the crowd. He turned sideways into the alley on the left and quickly avoided the push-out glass window that suddenly opened on the first floor of Lian Shou Building, basically leaning against the wall.
When he came out of the alley, he saw the back of Lu Xinda passing by. Li Zan ran into the alley in front of him without stopping, and crossed the corner. His two long legs ran out like a phantom clone.
About to rush out of the alley, Lu Xinda happened to appear. The alley was one meter wide, and it only took two seconds to run across.
Li Zan made a quick decision, stretched his long arms forward, grabbed the rusty red-painted iron pipe as a support, jumped into the air, kicked out his right leg with strong wind, and hit Lu Xinda's back vest.
The movement was as fast as lightning. Before anyone could react, Lu Xinda, who was running, was kicked forward two meters, knocking the crowded crowd out of the way.
The crowd retreated and suddenly came to their senses: "Someone is fighting!!"
"Personal grudges and seeking revenge?", "Look, look at the situation.", "What's going to happen ahead?"... The nature of human beings is to eat melons. As long as they are not crazy and attack people, they can stretch their necks and surround them like a group of geese.
lively.
Li Zan shook his hand and was sure that Lu Xinda wouldn't be able to get up for a while, so he touched his coat pocket and found it was empty before he remembered that he had recently been restricted from smoking.
There was no smoke and loneliness afterwards.
"Give way, give way." Chen Jie and Ji Chengling squeezed out from the crowd. The former evacuated the crowd: "The police are handling the case and they are all dispersed. They are dispersed. Don't watch all the excitement and don't block the road - be careful when eating melons.
, safety first. Follow the rules when watching, and your loved ones can rest assured.”
Ji Chengling took out the handcuffs, cuffed Lu Xinda, and pulled him up. He looked at Li Zan next to him with a little shame, but couldn't help but be curious: "How do you know he is Lu Xinda?"
"Uniform." Li Zan: "He ran away when he saw you. He was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to change into his uniform. He just cheated and used it."
He stayed up all night and exercised strenuously just after eating, which consumed a lot of energy. As a result, physical fatigue spread all over his limbs and his spirit became a little depressed.
"Take him back to the station for interrogation." Li Zan turned to Chen Jie and said, "Follow me back to Lane 11."
Chen Jie: "What should I do?"
"Take notes."
