In the parking lot of the rehabilitation center, several people were about to separate. Lu Sheng, who was standing next to the car, said to Gao Ming, "I will report to Director Yan in detail when I get back."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother, let's keep in touch at any time." After that, Gao Ming got into the police car and drove away first.
"Master..." Xiao Zhu looked expectantly, waiting for Lu Sheng's instructions on the case. Although he hadn't finished speaking, Lu Sheng already knew what Xiao Zhu was thinking.
"Get in the car and talk as we walk."
There were not many cars in the spacious parking lot, and Xiao Zhu also drove away. The place seemed more deserted. The accumulated water after the rain was flowing towards the lower manhole cover.
"Don't always ask me to say it. You should also tell me what you think."
Xiao Zhu expressed his judgment, "Did Liu Fei leave on her own initiative?"
"She didn't take the medicine, but hid it, which shows that Liu Fei is probably pretending to be sick, or has already recovered from the disease. If she left on her own initiative, she would not choose to leave on a rainy night, and judging from her belongings
, everything is well arranged, nothing is missing.”
"Then it's very possible that he was kidnapped."
"Looking at it now, after the surveillance screen disappeared, it is very likely that Liu Fei experienced something."
"In the stairwell?"
Lu Sheng nodded and agreed with Xiao Zhu's judgment.
"Then which exit did Liu Fei leave from?"
"Looking at it now, it is unlikely that you will leave from Port A, Port B or Port C. There is a high probability that you will leave from Port D or Port E."
Lu Sheng considered it from the perspective of the kidnapper, but still couldn't decide which one was more suitable, so he asked, "Xiao Zhu, if you kidnapped Liu Fei, what would you choose?"
"Ah?" Xiao Zhu didn't expect Lu Sheng to ask this, and didn't know how to answer for a moment, "Then I have to think about it carefully."
Xiao Zhu understood that where to leave was very important for the subsequent investigation. He was not confident enough to express his opinion, so he asked another question that he was more concerned about.
"Master, if she was kidnapped, do you think Liu Fei is safe now?"
"Eighty percent already dead! Or will die!"
"Why do you say that?"
"What do you mean by tying up an elderly mental patient with no relatives?"
Xiao Zhu hadn't thought about this issue yet, but after hearing what Lu Sheng said, he felt it made sense, so many possible reasonable conjectures instantly occupied his thoughts.
"Planned, revenge?"
Lu Sheng looked at Xiao Zhu who was driving in front and nodded happily.
Xiao Zhu saw Lu Sheng's expression through the rearview mirror, and strengthened his judgment, and continued boldly, "So you ask Brother Nan to find the fire case ten years ago."
"Yes, it has been ten years. This Liu Fei is in a mental hospital and will never cause trouble. So she may have provoked someone. It must have been before she was admitted to the hospital."
"When we return to the police station later, maybe we will find something."
Xiao Zhu participated in the discussion of the case and had some of the same ideas as Lu Sheng. He was in a good mood and smiled proudly, but his good mood was more about admiration for the master detective.
"Master, I have another question."
"Um."
"Do you always carry a handwritten notebook with you? But why didn't I see you record anything just now? Is it because the content of the question is not important?"
While Lu Sheng listened to Xiao Zhu's words, he reached out and took out his notebook and gestured to Xiao Zhu's side, "You said this, haha, you're just pretending."
"This is taking advantage of the psychology of the person being questioned. Once they see that what they said will be recorded in text, the invisible shock effect has already been produced, so they will definitely be more cautious and say something more true.
.”
Xiao Zhu was so surprised that he didn't blink for a long time. It turned out that such a small thing could play such a big role. There were really many things to learn.
"As for what Master Zhang said, it is actually very important."
"Then why didn't you record it?"
Lu Sheng pointed to his head, "The important things are already here."
Xiao Zhu was filled with admiration again, "Master, you are so amazing."
"Don't flatter him all the time. You've already memorized the really important content. If you don't believe me, just recall what he said that deserves special attention."
Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "He went to the toilet and locked the door, but he didn't see anyone leaving..."
"These are all correct, are there any more?"
Xiao Zhu thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't remember it.
"He also said, and Gao Ming had already confirmed it on the door, that the hospital did not have an order prohibiting sleeping in the second half of the night, but it had a clear requirement that you must not sleep in the first half of the night."
Xiao Zhu still didn't understand, "Master, please explain it in more detail."
"Have you noticed that Master Zhang's behavior is a bit reserved and unnatural?"
"Well, a little bit, but maybe he was scared by your notebook."
"That's not the case. I always feel that although what Master Zhang said is credible, he doesn't seem to have told all the circumstances."
Lu Sheng just had a feeling that Master Zhang might have missed something intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Zhu thought about Liu Fei who disappeared from the surveillance screen and said, "The time Liu Fei disappeared from the surveillance screen was around 23 o'clock. She may have left in the first half of the night, or she may have left in the second half of the night."
"Yes, if he left in the middle of the night, it cannot be ruled out that he walked out from exit D."
This is the problem before Lu Sheng. Leaving from Exit E is more dangerous, but leaving from Exit D, with 24 o'clock as the boundary, Master Zhang did not notice Liu Fei leaving in the first half of the night, and the door was locked in the second half of the night.
.
The car suddenly became quiet, but at the same time, the car also drove into the courtyard of the police station. It was completely dark, but many of the windows of the police station building were still lit.
Lu Sheng and Xiao Zhu got out of the car and walked quickly upstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the door and before anyone entered the house, Lu Sheng couldn't wait to speak out, "What did you find?"
In the office, Yan Ju and Meng Kenan were eating instant noodles when they heard Lu Sheng's voice. Meng Kenan had not yet swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said hurriedly, "And that Lin Xi!"
"What?" Lu Sheng looked at Meng Kenan in shock.
Meng Kenan put down the fork in his hand and continued, "In the fire case ten years ago, Liu Fei's son Zhao Shi was burned to death, and Lin Xi also participated in the investigation."
Yan Ju finally added, "The few cases I have been exposed to recently are all related to him!"
After Lu Sheng heard these words, he was no longer surprised, but his expression became a little complicated. There was a little confusion, a little joy, and even a little pride.
It seemed that everything was as he expected and everything was going according to his vision.
