Volume Two, Chapter Eleven, The Woman Falling from the Building 3
"Don't think about it now. After dinner, go back and continue to watch the surveillance. Then wait for the forensic doctor to see what they find."
Lu Sheng and Xiao Zhu hurriedly finished the remaining food and hurried back to the police station. Xiao Zhu ignored other things and walked straight to the computer and began to check the surveillance video of the day before Zhou Xiaodie's death.
"Lao Lu, this kid didn't sleep all night, right?" Meng Kenan asked as he saw Xiao Zhu watching the video intently.
"Yes, you are still young, and after all, this is the first case I have participated in. I seem to have endless energy in my body."
After Lu Sheng answered, he told Meng Kenan what he had just discovered, "Thanks to you guys, we really found something. Zhou Xiaodie should not have eaten for at least a day before he died. We will let the forensic doctor Lao Song check it later."
one time."
"You haven't eaten for a day?" Meng Kenan was also surprised when he heard what Lu Sheng said. "I feel like I need to see if there are any medicinal ingredients in her stomach."
"Yes, this is also very important."
Lu Sheng thought of the surveillance cameras that he had not finished watching, and immediately said, "Lao Meng, tell the brothers to work and check the surveillance cameras. Keep the surveillance camera angles of the community gate and Zhou Xiaodie's unit door in recent days.
Xiao Zhu and I will watch it. Let everyone else watch the rest."
"Well, I have to ask Bureau Yan to contact Meizhou later to check on the traffic accident three years ago. I'm going to get busy first!" Meng Kenan turned around and left.
Lu Sheng walked to Xiao Zhu and said, "Come on, let's take a look together."
Xiao Zhu turned his head and said nothing. He glanced at Lu Sheng with a smile, then turned back and continued to look attentively.
The surveillance footage was monotonous, and the people coming and going at double speed seemed extremely hurried. In addition to looking for Zhou Xiaodie, they were also recording some suspicious information.
Such a small camera only records a corner of what it can see. The picture may only stay for a second, or it may just be a pedestrian passing by, which may be the most important link to uncover the mystery.
It’s like peering into the sky with a tube and piercing the earth with a cone. What you see is big, what you see is small, what you pierce is huge, and what you hit is small. It’s just to find a general connection from this subtle point. After all, you have seen a hole.
Sky, through reasoning and analysis, you can definitely outline the appearance of the entire sky in your mind.
As they watched, time progressed in reverse. In the video, it went from early morning to midnight, then to evening, and finally to the afternoon of the previous day. The sky outside the window went from morning to morning, and finally it was noon.
"Let's go, let's eat first and continue in the afternoon." Meng Kenan looked at the master and apprentice who were motionless in front of the video and walked over and said.
There seems to be nothing else to do except watching the surveillance. Meizhou may provide information about Bai Longqiang's case later; the forensic autopsy results will not be available until the afternoon or evening.
"You go ahead. I haven't exercised for so long and haven't digested what I ate in the morning." Lu Sheng said to Meng Kenan behind him without looking back.
At this moment, Xiao Zhu, who was sitting next to him, rubbed his eyes with his hands, leaned forward, and moved his head closer to the screen.
In the picture at the front entrance of the community, a woman appeared. Maybe because of the hot weather, she was wearing a sun hat and a pair of sunglasses. However, judging from the physical characteristics, she was very similar to Zhou Xiaodie.
picture.
"Master, master, look, it's Zhou Xiaodie!"
Xiao Zhu paused the picture and enlarged it as much as possible. After hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Lu Sheng and Meng Kenan both came over.
"Well, it seems true." Although he couldn't see clearly his appearance, Meng Kenan felt like Zhou Xiaodie.
"Now look at the surveillance at the door of Zhou Xiaodie's unit." Lu Sheng said to Xiao Zhu while staring at the screen.
The three of them began to look at the other picture carefully. After a while, the woman appeared in the picture again.
"It's her, it must be her." Lu Sheng was now almost certain of their discovery.
"Lao Meng, let the brothers start," Lu Sheng glanced at the time display on the surveillance screen again, "Start looking at 2:30 in the afternoon, search forward, and let them confirm again, but I guess Zhou Xiao will not appear again.
The silhouette of the butterfly is gone.”
Lu Sheng thought for a while and then said, "See if there is a car in her name, then go to the train station or bus station and search again to see if there are any relevant records of her!"
Meng Kenan also lost the desire to eat. He quickly went to notify other people in the team to start relevant investigations according to what Lu Sheng just said.
"Xiao Zhu, we have to watch it again, starting at 2:30 in the afternoon and looking back."
"Okay, but Master, what are we looking for this time?" Xiao Zhu adjusted the video progress bar and asked with some confusion.
"I don't know, just take a look. As long as there is anything suspicious, write it down first." Lu Sheng leaned on the backrest and stretched his waist for a long time. He stood up again, walked to his own table, and took the
He picked up the water glass and drank heavily.
Seeing Lu Sheng drinking water, Xiao Zhu felt that his mouth was dry. He glanced at his cup, but it was empty, and then looked at the nearby water dispenser, which also had no water.
So Xiao Zhu quickly walked to Lu Sheng, picked up the water glass that Lu Sheng had just put down, and drank the remaining water in the glass in one gulp.
Lu Sheng was concentrating on thinking and didn't notice Xiao Zhu's actions. He picked up the water glass again and was about to drink it when he asked, "Where's the water?"
Xiao Zhu had quietly slipped back to the table, pretending not to hear, but smiling, and continued watching the video.
Xiao Zhu was fully immersed in the video and did not pay attention to the time at all. Just like the video surveillance at double speed, time in reality was also passing quickly.
Comrades who went out to investigate also came back one after another.
"Team Lu, we didn't find Zhou Xiaodie's driver's license information, and she doesn't have a car in her name."
"Team Lu, there is no record of Zhou Xiaodie's entry or exit at the train station or passenger terminal."
"Captain Lu, we started searching from the day before his death, but we haven't seen Zhou Xiaodie within a week."
All the situations are similar to what Lu Sheng expected. What's left now is the autopsy results and Meizhou's case files.
Lu Sheng made a bowl of instant noodles and brought it to the table for Xiao Zhu. Just as he was about to eat the noodles himself, Meng Kenan hurried over with the information.
"This is the case file of Zhou Xiaodie's husband Bai Longqiang," Meng Kenan said, taking back the materials handed to Lu Sheng, "You can eat first."
"When you're full, you should finish reading." Lu Sheng put it down and took the file from Meng Kenan's hand.
"Well, it was a car accident. He was hit and died on the spot! The driver escaped and the case has not been solved yet."
Lu Sheng was flipping through the materials and listening to Meng Kenan's words. He flipped through it in a hurry, but his mind was occupied by Meng Kenan's words just now. He felt strange, and suddenly found that he couldn't concentrate, almost
Didn't remember any information in the file.
Lu Sheng put down the information, rubbed his head with his hands, and asked, "Do you feel anything suspicious?"
Lu Sheng happened to ask about Meng Kenan's doubts, "Well, there is something wrong with this case. This car accident does not look like an accident, but more like a deliberate murder."
"Deliberate murder?" Lu Sheng looked at Meng Kenan in surprise and repeated his words.
