A few rays of the setting sun shone there, but they were swallowed up by the boundless darkness. There was no ripple on the broken mud wall. It looked like a coffin sitting in this remote corner, short and full of depression. There was
An unattended detention center.
Xu Li leaned against the wall, twirling her fingers and staring at the ground blankly.
It's been three days.
Ever since she surrendered to the police station three days ago, she was taken to this place and has never left it since.
Originally, things would develop smoothly like this, and I would spend the rest of my life in this corner where I never see the light of day.
But when she thought of the police officer named Yuan, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
This policeman is really strange. Why is he so entangled in this kind of problem?
She murmured in her mind, recalling the scene in the morning.
The police officer named Yuan walked into her room and sat down. He was alone.
He looked very tired, with two big dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were extremely sharp.
There was an indescribable light shining in his eyes.
Along with him came a cup of soy milk and a few fried dough sticks, which he said was a breakfast specially prepared for himself.
This is the first time I heard that the police prepared breakfast for criminals.
There was a smile on his lips, but it didn't make anyone feel warm.
"Before leaving Zhao Yingling's house that night, when you were cleaning the scene, did you take any beer bottles away?"
He spoke first.
"have."
"several?"
"Three."
“No beer bottle caps?”
"Yes, it was on the table. I put it all in a garbage bag and took it away."
"How many beer bottle caps?"
"two."
Although I didn't know why he asked this, I still told him honestly.
"Two? Aren't there three beer bottles?"
"I also looked for it on the ground, but couldn't find it."
These are all truths. I originally wanted to clean up the crime scene and not leave any useful evidence to the police. Therefore, taking everything away was the wisest choice.
As for the beer bottle cap, I did look for it, but I couldn't find it. Who knows where the woman threw it.
At that time, it was just after midnight, and I was alone in a room with a dead man. Of course, I had to walk as fast as possible. Anyway, I took almost everything away.
But although he didn't answer the question, he didn't seem disappointed.
That’s right, it’s just a bottle cap, how come there are so many things?
............
After returning from the detention center, Yuan Chen has been sitting in the office, not wanting to move his buttocks.
All he could think about was the text message he received last night.
Last night, as usual, he took a shower and prepared to go to bed, but he received another text message on his phone:
31-2602, Rongcheng Yuting, Baiyan District, pay attention to the fish tank at home.
In just one sentence, it was gone.
The address mentioned in the text message was the crime scene where Zhao Yingling was murdered!
It's almost the exact same plot, the exact same text message format, pointing to the obvious crime scene, and even the time it was sent is almost exactly the same...
Yuan Chen was completely confused.
If the same person sent the text messages twice, what happened to the anonymous letter sent to the police station?
Someone is watching you.
Thinking of Old K's warning to him on the phone, he felt cold all over.
However, since it is surveillance, why should it interfere with your own work?
This is obviously helping him!
He couldn't understand it more and more.
Why does "it" do this? How many secrets does "it" have?
Yuan Chen was lying on the table, feeling like his head was about to explode.
"Are you okay?"
There was a whisper in my ear.
He raised his head and saw Li Ting sitting next to him.
"It's okay, I'm just too sleepy, so I squinted on the table for a while."
Yuan Chen scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"That's good. You've really worked too hard on the case these two days..."
She frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"By the way, I just heard you talking about 'text messages'. Are you..."
"Oh, I'm scolding that shameless 10086. It's really annoying. He sends me spam text messages all day long. Last night, he shamelessly asked me if I wanted to apply for a 10 yuan 50 MB data plan. I
I’m really convinced.”
Yuan Chen was talking seriously, but he was extremely nervous. He didn't want Li Ting to know about "it". To be precise, he didn't want anyone around him to get involved.
For Li Ting, this feeling is particularly strong.
............
Baiyan District, in front of the apartment building where the crime occurred.
A white car stopped at the door, Yuan Chen got out of the car, and Hao Weida followed behind.
He decided to come here to see it again in person.
It has been more than a week since Zhao Yingling was murdered. It is now daytime, and the gloomy atmosphere in the apartment is obviously much less.
"Lao Yuan, are you so full that you have nothing to do? Li Ting has already come here to check again, but she didn't find the beer bottle cap."
Hao Weida opened his mouth wide and let out a long yawn.
Yuan Chen ignored it, opened the door and walked in.
"There's really nothing I can do against you."
Hao Weida followed in with a listless look on his face. He lowered his head and suddenly saw something on the floor.
"What the hell is this?"
He knelt down and picked it up. He saw it was a piece of pink paper with the four characters "Good Business Opening" printed in the middle, and the address in the upper left corner:
Blue sky restaurant.
It looks like an advertisement for a restaurant.
I don’t know how it tastes, so I might as well go there and have a meal soon.
A smile appeared on his lips.
Yuan Chen had already arrived in the living room. His goal was very clear. He bent down and carefully looked at the fish tank in front of him with his eyes.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that there used to be a small shark in this fish tank, but it seemed to be quite agitated and kept bumping around. It must have been too long without being fed, and it was starving. Now it has been sent away
We’re at the aquarium.”
Seeing Yuan Chen staring at the fish tank, Hao Weida explained.
Small shark?
Zhao Yingling It's really strange for a girl to have something like this at home. I don't know where she got this special habit.
Yuan Chen walked around the fish tank several times, observing the situation inside from all angles.
Suddenly, his eyes locked on one place.
Finding a long clamp, he slowly extended the clamp.
His eyes were fixed on the bottom of the fish tank.
Clamped!
He slowly took out the clip, and there was a small thing on it that was reflective.
It was a beer bottle cap that was soaked in water and slightly deformed.
