The mantis is hunting the cicada, the oriole is behind, the slingshot is at the bottom, the hidden arrow is at the side, and the human heart is in darkness. Who is the real hunter?
Xu Lang squatted on the ground and looked at the two things in front of him, a discarded 80% new bicycle, a cracked wooden stick stained with blood, and in addition, there were also objects on the uneven ground.
There was blood everywhere, but where did the suspect go? Did someone attack the suspect? Or did the suspect attack others on the way to escape?
It took less than half an hour from the time Chen Xiaohong received the call to the police until Xu Lang and the others arrived at the scene. Before the police arrived at the scene, the victim Zhou Jiamei's father, Zhou Xiaobin, had been chasing the suspect.
Xu Lang and the others rushed to the scene and caught up by asking passers-by. However, now Zhou Xiaobin has been found, but where is the suspect?
Xu Lang stood up slowly. Before he could stand firmly, he stumbled and almost fell. Lai Pi quickly helped Xu Lang with his quick eyesight and hands.
The gunshot wound on Xu Lang's leg had not yet healed. He had been running all the way because he was anxious to chase the suspect. At this time, after stopping the strenuous exercise, Xu Lang felt a burning pain in his left leg, and the center of his whole body
They were all placed on his right leg. After Lai Pi supported him, Xu Lang slowly leaned against the wall next to him, turned his head and looked at Zhou Xiaobin, who was still breathing heavily.
After Xu Lang's eyes glanced around Zhou Xiaobin's body, he said to Lai Pi: "Have you contacted the comrades in the nearby police station who set up traffic jams?"
"Oh, we have been contacted. According to their report, no suspicious persons similar to the criminal suspect have been found yet." Lai Pi quickly reported.
Hearing this, Xu Lang frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Inform the nearby police and criminal police to conduct a detailed search within a five-kilometer radius centered on this place. In addition, seal off the scene and notify
Fan Yang came over to inspect the scene."
Lai Pi nodded and turned to make a call. The other police officers who followed also started the work at hand after hearing Xu Lang's instructions.
Xu Lang was very worried at this time. Was the blood stain at the scene caused by the suspect's injury or by attacking a passerby?
If it is the former, then how did the criminal suspect get injured? Was it an accident or man-made? If it was an accident, where is he now? If it was man-made, then who could have attacked the criminal suspect?
Also, if these bloodstains were left by the suspect attacking passers-by, then the suspect may have kidnapped the other person, and today is the peak period for students returning to and leaving school, so the passer-by attacked by the suspect is likely to be
Students, if this is the case, then the other party is likely to take hostages in order to avoid being caught by the police in exchange for bargaining chips with the police.
Xu Lang hoped it was the former, because once the possibility of the latter emerged, it would mean that the nature of the case had completely changed, which would require requesting support and possibly mobilizing armed police and special police to participate in the operation.
However, Xu Lang did not dare to act rashly before everything was clear. However, he still took out his mobile phone and contacted the armed police department and asked them to rush to the scene, just in case.
After all this was done, Xu Lang turned his attention to Zhou Xiaobin again.
After some rest, Zhou Xiaobin no longer gasped for air. Perhaps because of the strenuous exercise, Zhou Xiaobin's dark face became very flushed. At this time, he sat down on the bed exposed to the scorching sun.
On the hot floor, looking at the bicycle dumped on the ground, his eyes were blank and he was in a daze.
"Are you Zhou Jiamei's father?" Xu Lang asked.
Pulled back from his thoughts by Xu Lang's voice, Zhou Xiaobin nodded subconsciously and said, "I am, who are you?"
As he spoke, Zhou Xiaobin raised his head and looked at Xu Lang doubtfully. If Xu Lang hadn't been wearing a police uniform, it would have been hard for Zhou Xiaobin to believe that the man in front of him was a policeman. He was young and several years younger than himself. For a young policeman, he
I have seen it, and I have seen it a lot, especially when I was working abroad. However, in Zhou Xiaobin’s impression, the policemen always wore straight police uniforms, had a crew cut, and always had a dignified expression on their faces, and were serious in speech.
, but the policeman in front of him has long snow-white hair, and his legs and feet are obviously a little unlucky. Is he really a policeman?
Xu Lang noticed Zhou Xiaobin's unabashed look and scrutiny. He smiled slightly and explained: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Xu Lang, the leader of the CSY Criminal Investigation Team in City S."
"Oh, you are Officer Xu. I didn't expect you to be so young."
When he heard the name Xu Lang, Zhou Xiaobin stood up from the ground suddenly and stretched out his hand to shake Xu Lang's hand. However, when he reached halfway, he found that his hands were full of stains. He didn't know what he had done just now.
Where did he rub it? So he retracted his hand angrily and smiled at Xu Lang.
Zhou Xiaobin didn't know about the CSY criminal investigation team. Before returning to China this time, he had never heard of Xu Lang's name. Although Xu Lang was well-known in the police force in S City, not everyone knew him. Strictly speaking,
Said that most people in S city did not know Xu Lang, and even fewer people had met Xu Lang. Zhou Xiaobin was just an ordinary citizen. When bad luck did not befall him and his family, he almost never interacted with him.
The police had dealt with him, and the reason why he did this when he heard Xu Lang's name
I was so excited, mainly because after I returned home this time because of my daughter's matter, when I saw my wife and daughter, I learned about the existence of the policeman Xu Lang from their mouths.
Xu Lang didn't ask Zhou Xiaobin how he knew him. It wasn't important. He went straight to the point and asked, "How did you identify the suspect?"
"Oh, I didn't recognize it, my daughter recognized it." Zhou Xiaobin said quickly.
"Xiao Mei?"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and then asked: "Where did you find the suspect?"
"About 500 meters away from the entrance of No. 13 Primary School, the children had all left the school, and we also picked up Xiaomei. When we were about to go home, Xiaomei suddenly stopped leaving, and then headed towards that
The man looked at her and said that the man resting next to the bicycle was the bad guy who bullied her. I didn't think about anything at the time, I just thought that I must not let this beast escape, so I asked my wife to call the police, and I
I chased him." Zhou Xiaobin tried his best to describe what happened as concisely as possible.
After Xu Lang listened, he nodded, knowing that under the circumstances, Zhou Xiaobin's approach was okay. However, Xu Lang had a question in his mind, that is, Zhou Jiamei was just an eleven-year-old little girl. She
She had been seriously injured not long ago and had not yet come out of her psychological shadow. Can the identification of a seriously injured little girl be trusted? Xu Lang was not sure.
"What does a man look like?" Xu Lang temporarily suppressed the questions in his mind and asked.
"He is about 1.75 meters tall, with a medium build, a crew cut, and single eyelids. He is pretty good-looking and looks to be under thirty years old. He wears an off-white shirt on his upper body and a pair of black jeans on his lower body.
Wearing a pair of white sneakers on her feet."
Zhou Xiaobin's description is similar to Chen Xiaohong's description when she called the police.
"Oh, by the way, I felt that the man seemed to be very familiar with this area of the street. After he saw me discovering him, he did not act very confused, but very calmly got on his bicycle and left, chasing me.
When he was walking, he always looked back at me, as if he wasn't worried that I would catch up with him."
Seeing Xu Lang fell into silence, Zhou Xiaobin thought for a while and added.
Hearing this, Xu Lang's mind was moved. Could it be that the criminal suspect was a nearby resident? If so, then he would definitely not be able to escape far.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang immediately called Luo Jiayan over and asked her to immediately contact the nearby police and personnel from the sub-district office to visit and investigate nearby communities and rental houses to find the suspicious man. She must act quickly.
Luo Jiayan didn't say anything. After Xu Lang gave the order, she turned around and went to perform the task.
Just as Luo Jiayan left, Fan Yang came over with a toolbox, and Chen Xiaohong also came to the scene with Zhou Jiamei in hand.
After Chen Xiaohong saw Zhou Xiaobin who was talking to Xu Lang, she quickly took Zhou Jiamei's hand and walked over quickly. After looking at Zhou Xiaobin up and down, she asked: "Are you not injured?"
The worried tone and expression were clearly evident. Zhou Xiaobin shook his head with a smile and said, "No, fortunately the police comrades arrived in time."
This was not the first time that Chen Xiaohong met Xu Lang. When she heard her husband say this, she quickly turned around and thanked Xu Lang. Xu Lang waved his hand.
"Did you catch that bastard?"
Chen Xiaohong asked while looking around, as if looking for the suspect, with an angry expression on her face. If the suspect stood in front of her, Xu Lang couldn't imagine what this woman would do irrationally.
the behavior of.
However, after Chen Xiaohong looked around for a week, she found no suspect, which made her feel very confused and puzzled, so she turned her attention to her husband and Xu Lang.
Xu Lang didn't speak, and looked at Fan Yang who was squatting on the ground with tools and inspecting the ready-made tools, while Zhou Xiaobin shook his head with a wry smile and explained to Chen Xiaohong in a low voice.
"What? So many people haven't found that bastard!"
After listening to Zhou Xiaobin's explanation, Chen Xiaohong suddenly raised her voice and said dissatisfied.
Xu Lang turned his head and glanced at Chen Xiaohong, who looked unwilling and angry, and then glanced at Zhou Xiaobin, who was smiling bitterly. He frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. Regarding Chen Xiaohong's desire to catch the murderer who hurt his daughter,
Xu Lang can understand his mood, but from the moment they received the call to the present, Xu Lang and the others have never seen the murderer in person, and the murderer's appearance and physical characteristics were only described by Chen Xiaohong's family. As for what they saw
Xu Lang still had a big question mark in his mind as to whether that man was a criminal suspect.
Chen Xiaohong saw that Xu Lang just glanced at her and ignored her after hearing her voice. This made Chen Xiaohong feel more and more dissatisfied. She just wanted to complain to Xu Lang, but Zhou Xiaobin
Stopping it in time, he nuzzled at Xu Lang's left leg, which was still trembling slightly, to signal his wife not to worry.
After her husband's reminder, Chen Xiaohong noticed that Xu Lang's left leg didn't seem to be very sharp, so she shut her mouth knowingly, but her eyes were still very dissatisfied.
As for Zhou Jiamei, after arriving at the scene, she has been hiding closely
Behind Chen Xiaohong, she occasionally stuck her head out and glanced at the bicycle lying on the ground. Then, she looked at her parents and the police uncle. She did not speak, her face was still very pale, and she bit her lip.
Look at everyone present.
————
There were not many things left at the scene. Fan Yang quickly completed the investigation. The blood stains on the ground had been collected, and the wooden sticks were put into the evidence bag, ready to be taken back for careful investigation. As for the bicycle, in Fan Yang
After the survey was completed, we asked people to move it out and prepared to bring it back to CSY for further survey work.
After surveying the scene, Fan Yang came to Xu Lang and reported: "The blood stains at the scene were in the shape of drops. The wounds of the injured should not be large and not fatal. Judging from the distribution of the blood stains at the scene, the injured
The injured part should be above the chest. According to my speculation, it should be caused by the injury to his head or nose, which caused bleeding."
After listening to Fan Yang's report, Xu Lang nodded and asked, "Have the fingerprints been collected?"
Fan Yang nodded and said: "Fingerprints and half a palm print were found on the handlebars of the bicycle, which should be left by the suspect."
Hearing what Fan Yang said, Xu Lang immediately realized something was wrong and asked, "What about the stick?"
Fan Yang shook his head and said: "Except for a small amount of blood stains on the wooden stick, no fingerprints were found on it."
"What about the shoe prints?" Xu Lang asked again.
Fan Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The situation at the scene is very complicated. There are many footprints found on the ground, but most of them have no value for extraction."
After listening to Fan Yang's report, Xu Lang did not look at Fan Yang, but stared at the evidence bag in Fan Yang's hand. The wooden stick found at the scene was placed in the evidence bag, and Xu Lang frowned.
Judging from the results of the on-site investigation, the criminal suspect did come here. Before the police and Zhou Xiaobin arrived here, something must have happened here. Either the criminal suspect was attacked and injured, or the criminal suspect
He attacked someone else, causing the person being attacked to be injured. In short, someone must have been injured at the scene, and a second or third person must have appeared at the scene.
Xu Lang had a guess in his mind, but he did not say it immediately. Instead, he turned his head and asked Zhou Xiaobin: "When you were chasing the suspect, did the suspect hold anything like a stick in his hand?
"
Zhou Xiaobin was comforting his wife and children. When he heard Xu Lang's question, he was stunned and said: "Wooden stick? What wooden stick?"
Xu Lang pointed at the evidence bag in Fan Yang's hand and said, "It's a stick like this."
Zhou Xiaobin glanced at the evidence bag, thought about it, and said with certainty: "No."
"you sure?"
Zhou Xiaobin nodded and said, "I'm sure."
Hearing what Zhou Xiaobin said, Xu Lang's guess was confirmed. The wooden stick found at the scene was definitely not carried by the criminal suspect himself. Since it was not carried by the criminal suspect, then it must have been carried by the second person who appeared here.
Could it be that the person in possession was an accomplice of the criminal suspect?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang shook his head and ruled out this possibility. Judging from the results of the previous investigation and interviews for more than a week, the criminal suspects always appeared alone when committing crimes, and Ding Haoqiong was giving the suspects
When people do psychological analysis, they also say that the suspect committed the crime alone and has no accomplices.
Since the person who appeared at the scene was not an accomplice of the criminal suspect, who could he be? A kind-hearted person who acted bravely when he saw injustice on the road?
If this is the case, did this person subdue the criminal suspect, or was he subdued by the criminal suspect?
Regardless of the outcome, a very important question arises. Where is the criminal suspect now? Where is the second person who appeared at the scene? If this person subdued the criminal suspect, why did he not show up after the police arrived at the scene?
What? If it’s the latter, then where are these two or more people now?
At the same time, Xu Lang still had a question in his mind, that is, Fan Yang did not find any fingerprints on the wooden sticks he found at the scene, which was very strange.
Xu Lang looked at your wooden stick in the evidence bag and narrowed his eyes. Although the wooden stick has cracked, it can be seen that this wooden stick is very round. As long as it comes into contact with the wooden stick, there will definitely be traces on it.
There are fingerprints but there are no fingerprints on the stick. This is very strange. Could it be that the second person who appeared at the scene knew that the suspect would appear or pass by and ambush him here in advance?
Xu Lang still doesn't know the truth. He needs to wait for the investigation results from Lai Pi and the others. As for now, since the scene has been investigated, Xu Lang, Fan Yang, and Chen Xiaohong's family,
After leaving the scene and preparing to return to CSY, he now needed to immediately know who the owner of the blood stains at the scene was. In addition, Xu Lang also needed to ask Lu Xing to retrieve the nearby surveillance video to see clearly the man's appearance. Only by mastering the man's physical appearance
Characteristics can be more conducive to the police's subsequent investigation work, and Chen Xiaohong's family is needed to record a statement.
On the way back, Xu Lang was still thinking, who is this criminal suspect who suddenly appeared and then disappeared? What happened in the alley in the past few minutes?
