The nightclub owner asked the several waiters who were cleaning up to get off work first, then hung up the wooden sign saying they were closed, and looked back at Jiang Heng, who was sitting on a high chair at the bar.
That position was still occupied by the detective just now.
All the lights in the nightclub were turned off, except for a very dim ambient light left on the bar. It was for decoration and had no lighting function.
But the light source was right on top of Jiang Heng's head, shrouding his entire body in soft light. The effect was like a person with perfect appearance who had been specially given millions of soft lights.
Black hair and white skin, black clothes and white light, the simple and clear color contrast will bring great visual impact.
The nightclub owner moved into the bar, grabbed the cocktail shaker out of habit and asked, "What do you want to drink?"
"milk."
This familiar feeling of humiliation arrived late.
Nightclub owner: "Why don't you tell me more about orange juice? Orange juice and milk, it goes perfectly."
Jiang Heng: “It’s easy to have indigestion.”
"What——?! Do you, an old mother, care about something as big as indigestion?" The nightclub owner poured a glass of milk and pushed it over. Hearing this, he was shocked: "Are you..."
He looked at Jiang Heng, who was full of vigor and vitality from beginning to end, with no trace of decadence at all, and reluctantly found an adjective that he thought was okay: "The sun is going down, but the sun is shining again?"
Don't blame him for making a fuss, the man in front of you is playing harder than anyone else, as if he can lose his life at any time and can regain it at any time, not to mention how ruthless his life-threatening energy is.
What kind of person would say "indigestion"?
Jiang Heng has fought for the right to self-manage since he was a boy. He dares to play with anything exciting and dare to touch anything. He touches it but does not touch it, just like a passerby watching the fire from the other side, even if he sometimes stirs up some muddy water, he will not touch it.
Those who left traces ran away.
The whole thing is a scumbag in decent clothes.
However, I haven’t heard much news about Jiang Heng in the past six months.
Seeing that the two of them were still friends, the nightclub owner showed concern.
Jiang Heng raised his index finger and flicked the rim of the glass, and said sincerely: "You see? I really don't have much time left, so I want to explain the distribution of the inheritance in advance. In the next sixty years,
, I hope you can be a witness to the notarization of my will."
A shameless thing.
Sixty more years? Disaster.
The nightclub owner shook his rag and wiped his beloved bar, sincerely wishing Jiang Heng would step into the shit when he went out.
"You asked me to tell the policeman how to purchase alcohol in the store...what's the profit?"
When Li Zan was asking questions, the nightclub owner received two text messages, five minutes apart.
The first one is a meaningless "I'm at the door", the second one is "Strive to be a law-abiding citizen", I'm too lazy to put any punctuation marks!
"Be a law-abiding citizen, let the police and the people be united and work together to achieve prosperity."
"Stop talking, it's disgusting." The nightclub owner felt uncomfortable and quickly handed over a cigarette and changed the subject: "How long will you stay? Do you have a place to stay?"
Jiang Heng refused the cigarette and replied: "How many days will you stay? I heard that your store was involved in a murder?"
The nightclub owner smoked a cigarette and replied: "The employees in the store cut the body into pieces and treated a young girl so cruelly! His old mother let me know who did it, and I will blame him for eight generations!"
Jiang Heng: "The police are investigating."
"Check it out." The nightclub owner was quite dissatisfied: "I sent two stupid young men here this morning, and at noon there was a pretty guy who asked questions that didn't make sense." He took a long puff of cigarette and said, "The news reports are talking about how to deal with this.
The detectives who committed the murder are all idiots."
Pretty boy?
Jiang Heng recalled Li Zan's appearance and was convinced of this.
He said: "Believe in the police. Maybe in two or three days, the murderer will be caught by the police."
The nightclub owner was skeptical.
"The person who asked the unreasonable questions is the captain of the criminal investigation team of the branch. His professional ability cannot be doubted." Immediately afterwards, Jiang Heng expressed his disgust without any self-awareness: "It's just that the way he talks is a bit disgusting."
Nightclub owner: Do you think you are beautiful just because you talk about "fish and water"?
..
A lightly bright multimedia screen flashed a dozen photos, most of which were glossy designer bags for women.
Then the screen flashed again and settled on the summary of "Characteristics of killing people and disposing of their corpses."
Li Zan: "The murderer chooses to dismember the body after killing, usually for the purpose of conveniently dumping the body, concealing the identity of the victim and hindering criminal investigation. The method and characteristics of the corpse are as follows, a total of four points."
"But in this case of corpse dismemberment, the body parts of the victim Xiao Hua were intact and not scattered. The head was not only there, but the facial features were not obviously damaged. The body was chopped into pieces and there were no traces of anger and abuse." Li Zan
Place the remote control pen on the table, place your elbow on the table, and hang your index finger 1 centimeter above the button of the remote control pen. "The head is far away and the body is close, and the two characteristics of throwing corpses at multiple points can be eliminated."
"There are ten pieces of the victim's body, of which two large pieces of the chest are still stuck together. The number of body parts is small and not broken. However, it is very close to the crime scene, which does not meet the characteristics of being thrown far away and buried close, or small near and far away."
Lao Zeng: "So this is the strange thing about this corpse dismemberment case. The murderer killed Xiao Hua, then cut her body into pieces and dumped her in an abandoned old well. It was obviously to avoid tracing, but why did he abandon her body again?
At the old well close to the crime scene?”
Chen Jie: "The murderer seems to be confident."
Ji Chengling: "Maybe the crime scene is not in Liulian."
"Impossible." Wang, who had been silently recording, said firmly: "The surveillance only captured Xiao Hua returning to Liulian late at night on December 3, and she was never seen coming out again."
Lao Zeng: "Xiao Hua will die in a few hours."
Chen Jie: "So the murderer must live in Liulian to complete the whole process of murder and dismemberment."
Zhong Xueru said sadly: "You still have to live alone and provide space for dismembering the body."
Their analysis was correct, but it also made the originally clear case fall into a more complicated fog.
Because of the murderer's abnormal behavior of dumping the body, their previous reasoning and investigation direction may have to be overturned.
Ji Chengling was silent for a long time: "Lu Xinda was in good health, lived alone, and had an emotional dispute with the deceased."
Chen Jie: "It fits the characteristics of the murderer, but there must be a twist below."
"He has a car."
Ji Chengling glanced at her, and then looked at Li Zan who was in charge.
He showed no surprise, his expression was normal and calm, as if everything was under his control or he had discovered the subtle clues earlier than anyone else.
Li Zan's reaction and calmness were like a professional veteran detective who has been engaged in criminal investigation for decades!
But it’s impossible. He is only in his twenties and I have never heard of his deeds...
Ji Chengling: "Lu Xinda has a car and is strong and healthy. Since he can dismember the body, he can also dump the body in a remote area instead of a crowded urban village with a large flow of people."
There is an incompatible contradiction between the purpose of dismembering the corpse and the location of the corpse. This contradiction is the key to solving the case.
As long as they solve this contradiction, they can figure out the murderer's motives and main characteristics, and then they can find the murderer by investigating people who have been in contact with the deceased.
Everyone was whispering and talking, flipping through papers and flying with fingers on the keyboard, creating a lively and busy scene.
Li Zan pressed the remote control pen to flip through the photos, and suddenly paused. The screen stopped at a picture of a lady's crossbody bag in flame orange crocodile leather. He asked sideways: "When did the young young man from the city bureau over there, Lu Xinda and the deceased...
Did they start dating? What caused the dispute? Does he know who the victim had the biggest conflict with before his death?"
"Team Li, my name is Ji Chengling, and I look at Chengling as a ridge with a peak on its side!"
These words were full of resentment. Li Zan turned to look at him and nodded: "Okay, Ji Chengling."
Hearing this, Ji Chengling was stunned. He thought Li Zan would pretend to be crazy and make things difficult for him, an outsider from the city bureau. He didn't expect to receive such a straightforward response.
He couldn't react for a moment and was stunned. He seemed to be childish for his age and not so pretentious.
Zhong Xueru was still half-dead: "You've been at the branch for two days, right? You haven't introduced yourself yet."
So don't blame the people in the branch for not calling him by his name. He was the one who rejected the person in the branch first.
Ji Chengling pursed his lips and stared at the computer screen, feeling vaguely regretful and guilty in his heart, but thinking about the reputation of the branch, he could not bring himself to admit his contempt for them.
"Ji Chengling!"
Ji Chengling suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Li Zan.
Li Zan took a sip of tea and said, "Answer."
Ji Chengling quickly replied: "Lu Xinda and the deceased dated two months ago. The reason for the dispute was that he suspected that the deceased was dating nightclub guests behind his back. The only conflict the victim had during her lifetime was her ex, and they broke up.
Not very pleasant.”
Li Zan: "Why did Lu Xinda run away?"
Ji Chengling: "He usually embezzles part of the money from selling drinks. He mistakenly thought we were here to check on him. He had a guilty conscience, so he scared us away."
Li Zan responded and asked Lao Zeng: "Have you found the suspect who robbed the deceased?"
Lao Zeng: "We have news, we are waiting to catch you."
"Okay." Li Zan said: "The deceased's ex-boyfriend's name is Zhang Fuqing. This is his contact information and company address. Bring him back for questioning."
The detective who was free in the afternoon volunteered, and then the topic of discussion returned to the contradictions in the murder case.
Li Zan: "The deceased purchased a large number of brand-name bags and suitcases during his lifetime. He often missed work but was able to maintain a luxurious life. The monthly salary of a nightclub team leader is 5,000, and the maximum commission plus drinks is only 12,000. However, the deceased is casual
That’s the price of the package.”
"Perhaps her male friend bought it. The deceased's boyfriend was quite rich," Chen Jie said.
"But Lu Xinda has no money." Li Zan clicked on the flame orange crocodile leather women's bag and said, "I checked and found that it was new in December and the price was nearly 16,000. The deceased was probably with Lu Xinda in September.
, I was absent from work for ten consecutive days in November. Not to mention commission, my basic salary was almost gone."
"The deceased used to buy new leather bags every month, but he didn't buy them for 9 or 12 months. At the end of November, he suddenly bought two leather bags worth a total of 25,000 yuan. In December, he bought another bag worth 1,000 yuan.
Wanliu's leather bag, let me tell you in advance - one-third of Lu Xinda's monthly salary is used to pay off the car loan."
"So," everyone suddenly reacted: "Where did the deceased's money come from?!"
