The next morning, Qin Nan came to the police station early, because the Chinese New Year was coming up in a few days, and if this case was not handled properly, he would not be able to live the New Year at ease.
Qin Nan had just stepped into the police station door when he saw a white-haired aunt sitting on a chair in the police station, seemingly crying.
When the white-haired aunt saw Qin Nan, she kept staring at him, as if something was wrong.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao walked out of the office inside. When he saw Qin Nan walking in, he quickly pulled him aside.
"What are you doing?" Qin Nan looked at Ma Xiaotao with confusion.
"Have you seen that white-haired aunt over there?" Ma Xiaotao glanced outside from time to time.
"I saw it, what happened?" Qin Nan scratched his head in confusion.
"That aunt's name is Li Guifen. She called the police last night and said that her child was killed. But when our police on duty went out, they found that it was a golden retriever.
We thought it was a human... Later, after investigation, it was found that the golden retriever was indeed deliberately killed, and the golden retriever also had its tongue cut out...
Later, Aunt Li called the police and said she would stay here until the murderer of her golden retriever was found," Ma Xiaotao said.
"Well, this has to be solved..." Qin Nan said.
"Yes, but usually things like this are handled by the owner and the perpetrator. Later, after our investigation, we also found that this aunt often walks her dog without a leash.
And it scared many children to tears... By the way, this Aunt Li lives in Zhang Jiali's community," Ma Xiaotao said.
"We may have to go to Zhang Jiali's community again later, so let's take her back by the way." Qin Nan said.
"That's all we have to do..." Ma Xiaotao sighed helplessly.
On the way to send Aunt Li back, Aunt Li kept telling Qin Nan how obedient her golden retriever was.
"Aunt Li, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me. I'll let you know after I've investigated it," Qin Nan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay...I don't know which one got a thousand cuts. Our little kid is so obedient and can do such a cruel thing." Aunt Li said with a tearful voice.
Qin Nan also had his own ideas, because he had already thought about it last night. Today, he went to the property management of the community to check the surveillance system to see if anyone had been following Zhang Jiali in the recent period.
Because in his opinion, the murderer that day must have some connection with Zhang Jiali... Of course, this is just his feeling.
Not long after, several people arrived at Zhang Jiali's community. Ma Xiaotao sent Aunt Li home, while Qin Nan watched the surveillance of the past two days in the community.
After watching it for about ten minutes, I saw something happened between the dog and Zhang Jiali when they left yesterday. Later, Aunt Li pointed at Zhang Jiali and cursed,
Zhang Jiali was also scared and ran back to her unit building. At this time, Qin Nan suddenly thought of a possibility.
He put the video back to normal speed and observed the dog from all angles. After about ten minutes, the golden retriever left the aunt's sight, and then walked around alone in the community.
Many children have to dodge after seeing this big dog. Although many parents know that golden retrievers are very docile, there is no guarantee that they will suddenly go crazy...
At this time, the golden retriever came to a corner in the community. It stopped and seemed to be observing something.
Qin Nan noticed its tail, and it began to hang down gradually. It seemed that it had encountered something that made it feel dangerous, but within a few seconds,
The golden retriever's tail began to sway from side to side again, and then he quickly walked behind a tree. After about five or six minutes, the golden retriever disappeared from the surveillance video.
"Help me adjust the monitoring on the other side of this tree." Qin Nan said to the property management staff.
Immediately, another surveillance screen was mostly obscured by the leaves of the yellow horn tree, but during that time, a man in black clothes disappeared from the surveillance with a duffel bag on his shoulders.
Later, the man appeared in the fourth residential building. Qin Nan zoomed in on the surveillance camera in the elevator. The man stopped on the 24th floor and then disappeared from the surveillance camera.
"Are there cameras in the hallway on this floor?" Qin Nan asked.
"No, there are cameras only at the entry and exit areas on the first floor of the residential building. There are no cameras on the other floors." said the property manager.
Qin Nan continued to check the monitor. The golden retriever fell to death from a high altitude and had its tongue cut off. Qin Nan calculated the time and continued to check the monitor.
But after watching for a while, I didn't see anyone getting on the elevator on the 24th floor, only people getting off the elevator on the 24th floor.
Qin Nan sighed, frowning and looking at the surveillance screen in front of him.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao walked in and saw Qin Nan frowning, so she asked:
"Has Detective Qin discovered anything?"
"Well, you are here, and you have indeed made a big discovery..." Qin Nan then opened the suspicious surveillance videos. Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but frown when she saw the man in black.
"This man... looks so familiar to me... like the murderer that night..." Ma Xiaotao said uncertainly.
"I also think it was the murderer that night, but this guy never got on the elevator after getting off the elevator on the 24th floor of Building 4..." Qin Nan said.
"He didn't throw the dog away in his own home, right?" Ma Xiaotao said.
"This is not the crux of the problem yet. As for whether it is, we will find out later when we go to Building 4 to investigate. Now the crux of the problem is that I always feel that this man in black is a little weird. His right foot seems to be injured...
"Qin Nan said.
"The right foot was injured? I remember Zhang Jiali said before that the murderer who saved her that day also had a lame foot. As for which foot it was, she wasn't sure..." Ma Xiaotao said.
"Call Zhang Jiali and see if she is at home now. We will find her and ask her carefully about what happened that night..." Qin Nan asked.
At this time, Zhang Jiali was cooking noodles in the noodle shop, when her cell phone rang.
"Hey, Officer Ma, what's the matter with?" Zhang Jiali asked while wearing a Bluetooth headset.
"Are you at home? We want to ask you about what happened that night." Ma Xiaotao said.
"I'm not at home today. I've been resting for two days. I'm in a noodle shop." Zhang Jiali said while picking up some noodles.
"That's it..." Before Ma Xiaotao could finish her words, the voice of a guest came from Zhang Jiali's side, and she seemed a little busy.
"Officer Ma, please come to my noodle shop after noon. I'm a little busy right now, so I'll hang up first. Ours is Lijie Noodle Shop." Zhang Jiali then hung up the phone.
Ma Xiaotao sighed, looked at Qin Nan and shook her head helplessly.
Ma Xiaotao turned on the speakerphone just now, and Qin Nan heard what he just said word for word.
Back to five years ago...
Today is the last day of school for Zhang Jiali and Zhou Junjie, because they will graduate from vocational high school after today. This is their class reunion.
Zhang Jiali and Zhou Junjie undoubtedly became the focus of the dinner party in the evening. The two of them also drank some wine, but they only drank a little bit and were in a slightly tipsy state.
The whole class knew about their relationship, but that fool Lin Fan only thought they were friends. What needs to be emphasized is that Lin Fan also successfully obtained his diploma.
However, he did not come to the class reunion and did not ask why he did not come. The same was true for Zhang Jiali and Zhou Junjie.
After the dinner, Zhang Jiali and Zhou Junjie walked back towards the school, walking at the end.
"Jia Li, after graduation, let's go work together in the coastal cities of Guangdong. What do you think? I heard that the salary there is quite high, five or six thousand a month." Zhou Junjie said.
Zhang Jiali hesitated for a moment: "Okay, let's go to Guangdong to work and save money together, and we'll come back in a few years..."
At this moment, Zhang Jiali suddenly remembered something. She threw away Zhou Junjie's hand and pouted:
"Yes, yes, why should I accompany you to work in Guangdong..."
Seeing Zhang Jiali's pretty face blushing slightly, Zhou Junjie knew what she was thinking, so he put his right hand on her shoulder and said with a smile: "Haha, you are so naughty, because I like..."
Before Zhou Junjie finished speaking, a discordant yet familiar voice appeared in their ears:
"Everyone, stop here! You are indeed here!"
