"We are the police, what is your relationship with Shen Qiang?"
Before Chen Bai could speak, Xu Hai asked the woman first.
"I am Shen Qiang's girlfriend Yang Ke. What's wrong with Shen Qiang? Why are you here?"
Yang Ke was a little confused, but Xu Hai asked Yang Ke to sit down and took out the photos of Yang Bin and Zhang Zhiyong and asked.
"Do you know these two people?"
Yang Ke took the photo and looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said.
"I don't know, what's wrong with these two people?"
"No, it's nothing!"
Because the case is still in the confidentiality stage, it is not convenient for Xu Hai to disclose the details of the case too much.
"Comrade police, if there's nothing else, I'm going to work. Shen Qiang's phone has been unreachable for several days, so I just came to take a look."
As the girl said this, she stood up and left. Chen Bai looked at the woman's back and somehow always had the feeling that this woman was deceiving him.
"Xu Hai, ask your people to stop this woman."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Xu Hai was a little confused. Chen Bai knew that it would be too late to explain now, so he prepared to go downstairs to chase the person.
"What's going on? You should tell me!"
But when Chen Bai reacted, Yang Ke was gone.
"Xu Hai, if you enter your own house, will you still knock on the door?"
"What?"
Chen Bai saw that Xu Hai still didn't understand, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"Xu Hai, when Yang Ke entered the door just now, he knocked on the door first, and then opened the door without waiting for us to react. Will you knock on the door when you return to your own home?"
"But this is not Yang Ke's house after all, but Shen Qiang's house. She is just confirming whether Shen Qiang is at home."
Chen Bai was a little helpless and could only continue to explain.
"You are right, but Yang Ke has already said that Shen Qiang has not been contacted for several days, which means that Yang Ke knows that Shen Qiang is not here. And Yang Ke is Shen Qiang's girlfriend and her boyfriend. She is missing but Yang Ke doesn't care at all. Do you think this is possible? And more importantly, Yang Ke just said that she knew that Shen Qiang was missing. How did Yang Ke know about it? What channel did she get from knew?"
Although Chen Bai explained clearly to Xu Hai, after all, Yang Ke is also missing now.
"Go back to the police station first!"
But after returning to the police station, good news came from Lei Zi. According to his investigation of Yang Bin, Yang Bin had his own house near Zhongshan Road, so Chen Bai didn't bother to rest and immediately led people to rush there. We arrived at Yang Bin’s house on Zhongshan Road.
"What does this smell like?"
As soon as they opened the door, Chen Bai and others were pushed back by a strong smell, but the experienced people immediately smelled the smell as that of a decaying corpse.
"Captain, the body was found!"
Lei Zi's shouts came from the bedroom. When everyone came to the bedroom, Chen Bai saw Yang Bin lying on the bed with a strangulation mark on his neck. But what was different from the first two people was that Yang Bin's eyes were stabbed and his eyeballs had already been stabbed. Rotten.
"Needless to say, the cause of death was mechanical asphyxia. The deceased's eyes were stabbed with sharp objects. Judging from the posture of the deceased lying on the bed, he should have been strangled from behind after being controlled. But... "
"but what?"
Song Anchun thought for a moment, raised the deceased's right hand and said.
"Chen Bai, look, there are torn marks on the fingernails of the deceased's right hand, so I think Yang Bin probably had a fight with the murderer. Let's take the body back first! I'll take a closer look!"
After the body was taken away, Chen Bai began to carefully observe the house. It was a small house with one bedroom and one living room. Judging from the furnishings in the room, Yang Bin should live here alone, but according to Wang Qingshan, Yang Bin had always lived here.
In a resort, who lives in this house?
"Chen Bai, come here and take a look at this!"
When Chen Bai passed by, Xu Hai was standing at the door of the bathroom. Chen Bai followed Xu Hai's gaze and found that the bathroom was full of women's products.
"Is it possible that the person living here is a woman?"
After returning home, Chen Bai investigated Yang Bin's social relationships. Chen Bai found a girl named Xu Jiarun on Yang Bin's mobile phone who had a close relationship with Yang Bin.
"Yes, I do live in Yang Bin's house. Yang Bin and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. Isn't it normal for me to live in his house?"
Although Xu Jiarun said so, Xu Jiarun was only twenty-two years old, and Yang Bin was already forty-five years old. Chen Bai didn't believe that these two were boyfriend and girlfriend.
"When did you and Yang Bin meet?"
"Uncle policeman, give me a cigarette!"
Seeing Xu Jiarun's nonchalant look, Xu Hai slapped the table directly, but Xu Jiarun didn't care at all.
"Officer, why are you so serious? I'm younger, but Yang Bin and I are truly in love!"
"Is this the issue we are discussing now? I am asking you now, do you know about Yang Bin's murder?"
Without Chen Bai stopping him, Xu Hai told the story about Yang Bin's murder. Xu Jiarun was a little surprised after hearing the news. Chen Bai took out a cigarette and lit it for Xu Jiarun.
"Xu Jiarun, since you already know this, I won't beat around the bush with you. Yes, Yang Bin died. He died in his own house. Xu Jiarun, you haven't lived in Yang Bin's house these days.
?"
Xu Jiarun lowered her head and said nothing, obviously still immersed in shock.
"Xu Jiarun, it's absolutely impossible for you not to speak now. What have you been doing these past few days? If you don't speak, then we can only treat you as a suspect."
It wasn't until Chen Bai said that Xu Jiarun was to be regarded as a suspect that Xu Jiarun quickly explained.
"My work unit has been busy recently. I have been sleeping in the company these days. If you don't believe it, you can ask my colleagues. I have been staying at the company these days without leaving."
"We will naturally investigate this. Xu Jiarun, do you know if Yang Bin has offended anyone?"
Although Chen Bai can now basically lock in that this case is related to the wire murder case, he still has to go through the procedures, and Chen Bai has a feeling in his heart that there is very likely to be something wrong back then.
The police knew that these three were the murderers and had been planning to take revenge on them for twenty years.
"Offending someone? Yang Bin is usually quite honest, and he is just a cook. Who can he offend?"
Because there was no evidence, they let Xu Jiarun go, but when they left, Xu Hai also told Xu Jiarun not to leave Qingpu in the near future and to wait for the police summons at any time.
"Chen Bai, what do you think this case is about?"
Xu Hai's brain was clearly running out of energy now. Chen Bai looked at the case files in front of him and realized that if he wanted to solve this case now, he might have to solve the previous wire murder case. But now that the three murderers at that time were all dead, this case What else is unclear?
"Xu Hai, how much do you know about this case at that time? Even a little thing is fine."
Xu Hai thought for a while and shook his head helplessly.
"I really don't know this anymore. In fact, these three people were really careful when they committed the crime, and they never committed another crime after killing Shen Man."
Chen Bai rubbed his temples. If this was the case, there would really be no clues at all.
"Xu Hai, if that's the case, we can only contact the family members of the victims to see if these people have any suspicions."
In fact, Chen Bai didn't want to do this. After all, doing so would be the same as exposing someone else's scars. But if he doesn't do it now, there will never be an answer to this case.
"Okay, then I'll check it for you here."
"No need, I've already checked it out."
When Chen Bai and others saw Zhang Cuifang in the ward, Chen Bai didn't know how to ask for a while.
"Why is this Zhang Cuifang admitted to a mental hospital?"
"Actually, this is easy to understand. Zhang Cuifang is Xu Jiaying's mother. Her daughter was killed. It's understandable that she can't accept it all of a sudden and becomes like this."
Even though he said that, Zhang Cuifang's spirit is definitely not able to accept questioning now.
"Who are you? Is something wrong?"
At this time, Chen Bai heard a voice behind him. Chen Bai turned around and saw a girl in her twenties standing behind him.
"We are the police and we came to see Zhang Cuifang for something."
Chen Bai saw that this person should be the one taking care of Zhang Cuifang. Sure enough, after the man heard that Chen Bai and the two were policemen, he directly put down what he was holding and pulled Chen Bai outside.
"I know what you are here for. Do you want to say that the case from twenty years ago has been revealed? In fact, to be honest, we really don't care about the case from twenty years ago. No matter what, my sister is not Maybe she survived, but now I just want to take good care of my mother, and I don’t think about anything else."
"Who are you....."
Chen Bai was a little confused. According to his own investigation, Zhang Cuifang only had one daughter. Where did this son come from?
"My name is Liu An, and I am Zhang Cuifang's adopted son. Comrade police, we have nothing to say about the case twenty years ago. You can leave!"
Xu Hai wanted to say something else, but Chen Bai directly pulled Xu Hai away.
"Chen Bai, why are you holding me back?"
"It's useless. If someone doesn't want to talk, it's useless no matter how much you ask."
But now the case has indeed reached a deadlock, but at this time Xu Hai and the others received another case of intentional arson.
"Don't follow us, stay at the police station and see what this case is about!"
"Okay, I probably can't think of anything at the police station, so I'll go directly with you!"
Chen Bai was a little helpless. His good vacation was gone. Xu Hai didn't say anything when he saw Chen Bai's appearance. After everyone arrived at the scene, Xu Hai rushed to the scene when he saw the person sitting behind the ambulance. passed.
"Rarity, are you okay?"
Chen Bai saw Xu Hai's nervous look and asked Lei Zi beside him.
"Isn't this woman the girl your captain is pursuing?"
"Absolutely. Her name is Qiao Rui and she is the daughter of the former forensic doctor of our police station. But Qiao Rui is different from her father. She has not been admitted to the police academy. She is just a doctor at a pediatric hospital in our Qingpu District."
Because the fire has now been extinguished and the firefighters are doing finishing work, Chen Bai is not in a hurry to visit the scene.
"Rarity, what's going on? Why did your house suddenly catch fire?"
Qiao Rui brushed the broken hair from his face with his hands and said with a bitter smile.
"I don't know about this. I took off work today and didn't get up until tonight. I originally wanted to order a takeaway, but I didn't expect that I suddenly smelled a burnt smell while I was waiting for the takeout. Then I heard
Someone outside shouted that there was a fire. I wanted to go out, but I didn’t know why my security door couldn’t be opened. My house was on the sixth floor and I couldn’t get out for a while. But fortunately, the firefighters arrived in time, otherwise I would have really gone out.
not coming."
Qiao Rui said it calmly, but everyone knew that Qiao Rui was in a very dangerous situation just now, and if he was not careful, he might be separated from the yin and yang.
"Captain Xu, our work is done, the rest is your work."
"Wait a minute, with your experience, can you tell the cause of the fire?"
The firefighter thought for a while before speaking.
"The specific cause of the fire may require further analysis, but I can assure you that this was definitely not an accident, it was just arson."
After Xu Hai saw the scene, he was even more sure that it was arson. Although the fire looked serious, in fact, only the door of Qiao Rui's house was affected. The fire even only scorched the shoe cabinet and clothes hangers at the door.
"Xu Hai, what they said is right, it was a deliberate arson. The cause of the fire should be the debris piled at your door, right?"
"I never have these things at my door!"
Qiao Rui was a little surprised. He never had these things at his door. How could it be that debris caught fire?
"Didn't you hear people say that this was a deliberate arson? These things at the door are definitely not yours, they were moved here by the person who set the fire."
As he spoke, Chen Bai picked up the unburnt ashes on the ground and twisted them. It burned thoroughly. It seemed that the other party might have used something like a combustion accelerant.
"Xu Hai, go check out the surveillance of this community! This community is so high-end, you should be able to see who set the fire."
"good!"
After checking the surveillance, it turned out that a man wearing a hat and a mask hurriedly fled the building where Qiao Rui's house was located after the fire.
"Damn it, this surveillance is too blurry, and this person is wearing a mask and a hat so you can't see his face clearly."
Xu Hai was a little angry, but this was nothing to Chen Bai.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask you about our people."
On the other side, Lei Zi found a mineral water bottle and a pair of gloves in the trash can downstairs. After confirming that the mineral water bottle contained gasoline, the deliberate arson was confirmed.
"Qiao Rui, think carefully about whether you have offended anyone recently?"
Xu Hai was a little anxious. It was not a trivial matter to deliberately set a fire. Maybe the other party wanted to kill someone.
"How could I offend people? I come into contact with children every day when I go to work. Even if I have a conflict with the parents when I am treating children, they will not find my home and deliberately set fire to it!"
Xu Hai nodded. Qiao Rui knew that he would not enmity with others, but who would do such a thing if he wasn't seeking revenge?
"But...there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"explain!"
Xu Hai knew that anything now might be the trigger to investigate the case.
"You see, just a week ago I received an express delivery. When I opened it, there was such a strange doll inside, but I am sure that I have never bought this."
When he heard Qiao Rui talking about dolls, Chen Bai was shocked, and then quickly walked to Qiao Rui's side.
"Can you show me that doll?"
"Give!"
Although Qiao Rui didn't know who Chen Bai was, he still handed the phone in his hand to Chen Bai.
"Did you receive it by express delivery? Is there the sender's name on the express delivery?"
Chen Bai was a little excited, because even though he knew that Zhang Zhiyong and the others also got the doll, Chen Bai still couldn't find out where the doll came from. But now this girl also got the doll, although she still doesn't know what the relationship between them and them is.
What is the relationship between Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Zhiyong? But at least now we can find out the origin of this doll.
"I don't remember this, but I probably kept the express box, and you can go look for it at home together."
After everything was cleaned up, Qiao Rui found the express box from home.
"That's it. I didn't think much about it when I picked up the courier. The couriers following me just took it over."
After Chen Bai took a photo of the information on the box, he confirmed with Qiao Rui where he got the express delivery, then asked Xu Hai to solve the matter here, and prepared to investigate it himself.
"Wait a minute, you don't even have a certificate, can you go alone? I'll let Lei Zi follow you!"
"OK!"
Because Qiao Rui picked up the express delivery in the community, Chen Bai first went to the post station in the community.
"Yes, this is indeed from my side."
"Boss, please check the logistics of this express delivery for us!"
After all, Qiao Rui didn't buy this thing, so Qiao Rui probably has no logistics information.
"Okay, give me the tracking number!"
Chen Bai thought it would be a simple matter to check this, but what Chen Bai didn't expect was that the boss couldn't find the logistics information for a long time.
"Comrade police, I really don't have logistics information here, otherwise you can go to the place where the shipment is sent and take a look!"
"No? How is it possible that there isn't? You don't have any logistics information for the things that are sent to you?"
Lei Zi was a little confused. In his opinion, this was almost impossible. But Chen Bai discovered a problem after carefully looking at the express delivery list.
"Okay, since that's the case we won't bother you for now."
After waiting out, Chen Bai handed the photo in his hand to Lei Zi.
"Take a good look, do you see any problems?"
"What's the problem?"
Lei Zi held the phone and looked horizontally and vertically, but found no problem.
"Look at the sender's mobile phone number and the recipient's mobile phone number. Can't you see the problem?"
After Chen Bai's reminder, Lei Zi discovered that the sender's number and the recipient's number were exactly the same.
