The young man in the leather jacket immediately smiled when he saw the male detective next to Ai Liang: "Thank you, Captain Shi. Is this the first witness? I didn't expect you to be interrogated in person."
"Who let him in!"
The male detective whom the young man called Captain Shi suddenly lowered his face and yelled. The police officer who had just been talking to the young man immediately took the documents and prepared to leave.
"Wang Xun! Come here!" Captain Shi could not let him go so easily and called him back immediately.
"Captain." The criminal police officer named Wang Xun shrunk and returned to the group of people. He gave the young man a sharp look as he passed by.
Captain Shi crossed his arms, like a glaring King Kong: "Tell me, why did you bring irrelevant personnel into the criminal police team!"
"Calm down, I'm here to provide clues about this case, so I asked Officer Wang to bring me here."
The young man smiled and put his arm on Captain Shi's shoulder.
The shoulder-to-back movement completely angered Captain Shi. He slapped Xia Qinian's hand away and shouted angrily: "Xia Qinian, shut up! Do you have a clue? What a fool! You are not a member of the criminal police team, you have no say in this."
share!"
Shi Feng's voice was deafening, like an angry lion, and the entire criminal police team could hear his roar.
The criminal policemen who were just passing by to watch the excitement suddenly lowered their heads and hurried past one by one for fear of getting into trouble. People in the office did not even dare to raise their heads.
When Ai Liang heard the name Xia Qinian, he turned his head and focused his gaze on him, staring at him closely.
"Captain Shi, why are you shouting so loudly? There are students here. Don't scare the children."
Xia Qinian didn't show any fear because of Captain Shi's anger. He still looked like he was not stingy. After noticing Ai Liang's gaze, he pointed at it specifically.
"You! Now! Immediately! Immediately! Get out! Whoever lets Xia Qinian in from now on should pack up and get out!"
Captain Shi pointed at the police officers present with his notebook, then slapped the notebook on the table and left angrily.
"Brother Nian, you've done me a terrible job now. I don't know what the captain will do to me in the future."
Officer Wang had a sad face, his brows filled with despair about his future job.
"An Xin Xin Xin, the anger is mainly directed at me. He has nothing to do with me. He is usually very generous." Xia Qinian put his arm around Officer Wang's shoulders, his attitude was like that of a local gangster.
"Okay, okay, you go out quickly, otherwise the captain will come back later and he will have to skin me if he sees you still here."
Officer Wang broke free of his arm and pushed Xia Qinian toward the exit.
The female detective also brought Ai Liang to the door and asked if he needed to be sent home.
She also had good intentions. After a fifteen-year-old child was taken to the criminal police team, the family ignored him and now they let the child go home alone. It was really pitiful.
"No, I will call a taxi nearby, and the police car taking me back will not be good."
Ai Liang politely declined the pick-up and drop-off service from the female police officer and left the criminal police team alone.
However, he had just taken two steps when he was stopped by the young man who just said: "Hello, classmate, my name is Xia Qinian and I am a bounty hunter. Look, it's already noon. Why don't we treat you to a treat and let's have a chat?"
Xia Qinian had a bright smile on his face and put one hand on Ai Liang's shoulder.
In this world, bounty hunters exist in every region. They were originally mercenaries who were paid to do things. They made a living by relying on police rewards for wanted criminals and accepting some private jobs.
Later, with the development of the times, the Free Federation actually legalized mercenaries in order to reduce the cost of social security.
Fight criminals through criminals, and then exchange rewards from the government.
A person with cerebral thrombosis would never be able to do this kind of thing within ten years.
This move has caused the Free Federation to have the worst public security among the five political systems until now, and the semi-feudal West Country is hundreds of times stronger than it.
Of course, this move also has a positive side. People will naturally avoid breaking the law to avoid being reported by their neighbors and exchanged for rewards.
The system has been continuously optimized and improved, and in the Asian League, almost everyone can register to become a bounty hunter.
It doesn't have much impact if you register. In fact, it's just an extra name.
There are many people in the Asian League who work part-time as bounty hunters.
They have their own normal jobs, that is, they occasionally travel on business, and they check to see if there are any fugitives at the place where they travel, and through their connections, they provide clues to the police in exchange for a certain amount of reward.
If I have to say it, the bounty hunter in the Asian League is more like a mixed profession that combines informants, mercenaries, and police assistance in the previous life.
The minor characters in it may be Uncle Wang who usually sweeps the streets, or Aunt Zhang who sells breakfast.
After registering, you can exchange certain rewards with the police based on the gossip you hear occasionally.
Only famous characters will be highlighted in each region.
They usually have their own special skills, or are mercenaries with strong fighting skills, or talented hackers who can easily invade corporate servers. They are dangerous people who must be reported wherever they go.
Xia Qinian is one of them.
He is a reckless man.
At this moment, he was standing at the gate of the criminal police team, pressing Ai Liang's shoulders. This posture was obviously overwhelming him.
Ai Liang understood what he meant. It was simply that Gao Jiajia's father had offered a reward to find the murderer of Gao Jiajia.
"There is a private restaurant in front of you, where should you eat?"
Seeing that Ai Liang didn't resist, Xia Qinian suggested smoothly.
After saying that, Xia Qinian took Ai Liang to the restaurant and ordered four dishes and one soup. While waiting for the food to be served, Ai Liang briefly introduced himself.
Ai Liang remained silent until Xia Qinian took the initiative to start chatting.
Xia Qinian opened his mouth with praises: "I heard that when you found the body, you knew that the deceased was murdered, and you also told a lot of details? You have good eyesight."
"If you want to know something from me, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Ai Liang didn't even look at Xia Qinian. He took out his cell phone and reported to Yang Xingyue and others that he was safe. He also told his parents that the matter was over and there was no need to send a lawyer.
"Hey, when I was your age, I only played games at home or went to Internet cafes to play games all day long. I didn't study hard, otherwise I wouldn't have been dismissed from the police academy two or three times in a row."
"If you continue to talk nonsense, then I'd better go home." Ai Liang put away the phone and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Tsk, why are today's brats so precocious? Okay, then I'll just tell you that the real estate developer Gao Fuye directly offered a reward of 500,000 yuan to find the murderer of his daughter. If he finds the murderer, he will add another 500,000 yuan as a reward.
Nevada City hasn't had this kind of business in years, and the people on the street are like sharks smelling blood."
Xia Qinian pushed the empty cup over, but Ai Liang didn't even look at it, so he had to pick up the teapot and pour himself a cup to hide his embarrassment.
"anything else?"
Ai Liang didn't believe Gao Fuye. He only resorted to posting rewards in the bounty hunter circle. His only blood relative died, so he must have other actions.
"There are others who have little to do with our circle. I heard that he just went to the media to put pressure on the police. He is obviously crazy and will bite people randomly if he can't find the murderer."
Xia Qinian took a sip of tea. It was like boiled water, and he frowned after drinking it.
"Then what do you want to know from me?"
After Ai Liang listened to Xia Qinian's answer, he asked about his purpose.
"If you want to investigate the cause of his daughter's death, you must at least find him and understand the specific circumstances.
Whether the cause of the victim's death was revenge from a rich and wealthy enemy or simply a dispute between peers, we must first clarify the direction of the investigation, otherwise it will be all in vain."
Xia Qinian took out a few banknotes and put them in front of Ai Liang.
"If you want to see him, you must at least have certain clues or results. Now there are so many people who want to see him. Of course I want to use your identity as the first witness of the corpse to see Gao Fuye.
I won’t let you work in vain, I will give you five hundred now and another five hundred after you meet Gao Fuye, no matter what the result is."
What Xia Qinian said was reasonable and well-founded. He was much better than those people who were running around like headless flies aimlessly looking for the murderer. Using Ai Liang's method was like looking for an informant.
Ai Liang said with a hint of sarcasm: "As expected of a man who has passed the police academy exams three times."
"You have a really vicious mouth."
While they were talking, the waiter also brought the dishes to the table. Just when Xia Qinian was about to continue persuading, Ai Liang said: "Don't discuss the case during the meal. If you have anything to do, talk about it after the meal."
Xia Qinian was stunned when he heard this. This sentence was so familiar to him that he would never forget it.
"Do you have a relative who is a criminal police officer?"
"No." Ai Liang was not polite to him. After serving himself half a bowl of rice, he started eating by himself, completely ignoring his employer.
Ai Liang also has a good appetite. If it were the girl who saw the corpse in the morning, she probably wouldn't be able to eat for a day or two.
"That's a coincidence. My uncle often told me this sentence before. This sentence is the default unspoken rule for everyone in the criminal police team when eating." Xia Qinian recovered from his daze and picked up the chopsticks with a smile.
For a while, the two of them were silent, silently finishing the food on the table.
Especially Xia Qinian, he seemed to have returned to his teenage years, sitting at the table to eat with his family. This feeling was mainly due to what Ai Liang just said.
After lunch, Ai Liang got into Xia Qinian's car and headed to school with him.
That's right, it's the school, not the rich and powerful.
In this case, Gao Fuye should have connections everywhere, so he has no time to care about bounty hunters.
It’s been less than a day since the crime occurred, and clues can be found in such a short period of time. If all the bounty hunters are so capable, why do we need the police?
When Gao Fuye issued a reward, he only considered multiple paths. The main investigation of the case still had to rely on the police.
The school had closed its doors at this time, and the students had all gone home for the holidays. Through the iron railings, the entire campus looked empty.
It has only been a few hours since the reward was announced, and there are already many idle people around the school. It seems that they are all here to try their luck and find clues.
But unfortunately, the school was blocked by the police and no one could enter.
"So why did you ask me to bring you to school? Isn't it because something was left in the classroom to make me run away, or are you the murderer who came back to destroy the evidence?"
Xia Qinian chatted with Ai Liang from time to time, but he was looking through Gao Fuye's experience in getting rich over the years, trying to find clues.
"Don't look at it, the murderer is probably not Gao Fuye's business rival."
Ai Liang opened the car window, put his arms on the window, supported his head with his hands, and looked towards the school gate.
Inside, policemen wearing white gloves were wandering around, investigating every suspicious corner.
"Oh? How do you know it's not the case? Don't think that you can become a famous detective by learning a few criminal investigation methods. In our line of work, we first need to collect a large amount of information, find out the details related to the case, and then screen the suspects."
Xia Qinian sneered, not paying attention to Ai Liang's statement. This was obviously something that a young man who loves to show off would say.
"First, if it was done by Gao Fuye's business rival, it proves that the conflict of interests between the two parties must have reached a fever pitch.
But you didn't raise it immediately, and Gao Fuye only used the media to put pressure on the police, proving that he had no suspects, so the conflict of interest can be ruled out."
Ai Liang did not look back at Xia Qinian's expression, but just stared at the school quietly.
"Second, if Gao Jiajia's death was a warning to Gao Fuye from his business rivals, this is completely impossible.
Gao Fuye only has this daughter, and his love for her can be imagined. In order not to anger his opponent, would you choose to kill his only relative? This will only make Gao Fuye a dead end."
"Third, if it is an old grudge, there is no need to kill Gao Jiajia in school.
After school, there are students and food stalls everywhere around the school, and there are cameras everywhere. Are you afraid that you won't be exposed? Wouldn't it be more convenient to wait until Gao Jiajia returns home, or find an alley to strangle her on the way home?"
"Fourth, Gao Jiajia's death time was around nine to nine-thirty after school.
If a member of the public enters the school, they will definitely be asked to register by the security. As for climbing over the fence, you have probably never seen the environment around the school after school, right? The school is surrounded by snack carts."
"As for the place of death being outside the school, would you walk into the school with a body in full view of everyone? Even if you come in in the middle of the night, the surveillance on the stairs is not a decoration."
Xia Qinian, who was in the driver's seat, was holding his cell phone with a confused look on his face. At this time, Ai Liang turned around and looked at him and began to summarize.
"Outsiders may not know this, but our school has cameras installed in many places, including at the stairwells.
Regardless of whether Gao Jiajia was strangled to death elsewhere or in the teaching building, since her body was hung at the door of the class to pretend to be a suicide, the murderer would definitely be exposed to surveillance.
The police must have obtained relevant videos. Since the murderer has not been identified yet, it proves that the camera did not capture it at all, or it was not working."
"Let's take a bold guess. Since Gao Jiajia was hung at the door of his class, does it mean that the murderer knew Gao Jiajia and knew which class she was in? Not only that, the murderer must also be very familiar with the environment near the school because he wanted to turn off the camera.
You need to go to the electrical box on the first floor in advance and turn on the switch."
"Why would Gao Jiajia enter a dark teaching building? Or after a power outage in the teaching building, would a girl stay stupidly in the dark? There is a high probability that an acquaintance is looking for her."
"So the murderer is most likely someone from the school, a student, a teacher, a security guard. These people are far more likely than others."
Xia Qinian was choked and couldn't say a word. He looked at Ai Liang and then at his phone, and silently put it away.
