Murder in the Mountain Village, Murder on the Train Chapter 27 Murder on the Train
Sometimes, what we see with our eyes is not necessarily the truth. Solving a case is not about writing novels or making guesses out of thin air, but about solid evidence. What you think is just what you think, and may not be the truth.
After Ding Yan left with Xu Lang and the others, Ning Yanran also came to her car after settling the bill, and drove her car to follow Ding Yan's police car to the train station police station.
On the way to the police station, Ning Yanran's expression was very gloomy. She did not expect that she had finally managed to get Xu Lang back from Zhuxi County. Xu Lang had just arrived in S City and was involved in a murder case. This made Ning Yanran
A very absurd thought came to Yanran's mind. Is Xu Lang really a person who is destined to deal with criminals for the rest of his life? Why do cases appear wherever he goes?
However, as soon as this thought popped up in Ning Yanran's mind, she quickly put it to death. She knew Xu Lang, knew what Xu Lang was like, and knew that Xu Lang was definitely not the murderer of those two people. This was
A kind of subconscious and instinctive trust. In fact, aside from the incident a few years ago, Ning Yanran trusted Xu Lang very much, and even admired Xu Lang. Xu Lang was always the one she felt most confused and confused.
At that time, the wise man who showed up, that clever plan, the most trusted person appeared, but after that incident, there seemed to be an unbridgeable gap between her and Xu Lang.
The police car took Xu Lang and the others to the police station. Ding Yan did not put handcuffs on Xu Lang and the others. When they returned to the police station, Ding Yan immediately put the three of them into three interrogation rooms respectively, because Xiao Yueyue was still in the police station.
Xiao Yueyue was still underage, so when Ning Yanran arrived, she temporarily stayed with Xiao Yueyue in the interrogation room No. 3, while Xu Lang and Lu Xing were locked up in the interrogation room No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.
inside.
Whether it is an interrogation room at a police station or a public security bureau, they all look the same, with an interrogation table, a few chairs, and surveillance cameras installed in every corner of the interrogation room. Of course, the one-way glass is indispensable.
.
At this time, Xu Lang was sitting on the interrogation chair opposite the interrogation table, while Ding Yan and Deng Zijun were sitting behind the interrogation table. The two of them looked at Xu Lang eagerly.
Seeing this scene, Xu Lang suddenly felt a little funny. From the time Xu Lang remembered until today, every time Xu Lang came to the interrogation room, he sat on the chair behind the interrogation table. Sitting on the interrogation chair
The ones on the list were always criminals or important criminal suspects. However, after five years, Xu Lang returned to City S again and sat on the interrogation chair before he went to investigate Lu Ye's case.
"Name."
Just as Xu Lang was looking around at the all too familiar interrogation room, Deng Zijun stared at Xu Lang and asked.
Xu Lang ignored the other party and was still looking at the interrogation room. Compared with the interrogation room of the Second Criminal Investigation Team of the General Bureau of Public Security, the interrogation room of the railway station police station was obviously much simpler. This made Xu Lang have feelings for Ning Yanran, the deputy director.
There was a trace of doubt. Could it be that she didn’t usually go to the grassroots level to have a look?
There shouldn't be. Otherwise, as the director of the railway station police station, how could Ding Yan not recognize Ning Yanran when he met her? How could the interrogation room of the police station be so simple? Thinking of this, Xu Lang subconsciously thought
Shaked his head.
"Name." Deng Zijun raised his voice and asked Xu Lang.
Xu Lang finally stopped looking around, turned his head, and looked at Ding Yan and Deng Zijun opposite.
"Snapped."
Deng Zijun slammed the table, showing what he thought was a very majestic expression, and said: "I asked you what your name is, and what are you looking around at?"
Xu Lang glanced at Deng Zijun and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Ding Yan and asked, "Am I a criminal?"
Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "You are only a suspect in this case for the time being."
"Since I'm not a criminal, I'll put away your usual way of treating criminals, otherwise, I can sue you." Xu Lang said slowly.
"you......"
Deng Zijun is a young man after all. When he heard what Xu Lang said, he stood up from his chair suddenly and pointed a finger at Xu Lang. He was about to say a few harsh words when he was stopped by the frowning Ding Yan.
.
"Xu Lang, although we don't have any evidence to prove that you killed the two people on the train, you have had contact with the two deceased people before. We must know whether there are any problems between you. I hope you can
You can cooperate with us." Ding Yan looked at Xu Lang and said.
Xu Lang nodded and said slowly: "My name is Xu Lang. I am thirty-one years old and a native of S City. This is my ID card."
After saying this, Xu Lang took out a wallet from his pocket. There was a thick wad of hundred-dollar bills in the wallet. Xu Lang took out his ID card from the compartment of the wallet and handed it to Ding Yan.
Ding Yan took the ID card, glanced at it, put it on the table, and said, "We already know this information. We didn't come to you to ask you this."
"Then what do you want to ask?" Xu Lang asked.
"Where did you get on the bus from?"
"Eyan City Railway Station."
"When did you get in the car?"
"Eleven thirty-eight noon on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."
"The sixteenth day of the first lunar month?" Deng Zijun took a pen to record and looked at Xu Lang doubtfully.
Ding Yan explained at this time: "It's February 23rd."
"According to our investigation, what you bought in Eyan City was a hard seat, right? Was it a sleeper berth that you bought in Yancheng City by paying for it?" Ding Yan asked.
Xu Lang nodded and said, "Yes, this is our train ticket."
After saying that, Xu Lang gave him and Xiao Yueyue’s train tickets.
Pass the root to Ding Yan.
Ding Yan looked at the ticket stub and then at Xu Lang. He became more and more confused. Did the white-haired man in front of him really have nothing to do with this case? However, he always felt that this man named Xu Lang had nothing to do with it.
It's simple. When ordinary people face the police, they would either be more panicked or more reserved. However, Xu Lang behaved calmly and answered every question he asked fluently, as if he had already
He knew what he was going to ask. From the beginning, he felt that Xu Lang was suspicious. Now it seems that Xu Lang is even more suspicious.
"Since you are a native of S City, why are you going to Eyan City?"
"A few years ago, I went to settle in a small county under Eyan City. This time, I just went back to my hometown with my friends and my daughter."
"Xu Yueyue is your daughter?" Ding Yan asked, remembering the little girl outside who was as cute as a porcelain doll.
Xu Lang nodded.
"Since you have chosen to settle elsewhere, why do you want to return to S City this time and what are you doing here?"
"I was invited back to City S to handle some things."
"You came back by invitation? Who invited you? What matters did you come back to deal with?"
"I can't tell you what I'm dealing with right now, but the person who invited me back is outside."
"That woman?" Deng Zijun asked.
Xu Lang glanced at him and said nothing.
Ding Yan is not a fool like Deng Zijun. He has been a policeman for more than a day or two, so he asked: "Is that woman outside your friend? What's her name?"
When Xu Lang heard Ding Yan ask this, he looked at Ding Yan with a strange look. This made Ding Yan look a little confused, and he said, "What's wrong?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "Director Ding, you should know her."
"Should I know him?" Ding Yan was even more confused by Xu Lang's words.
Seeing Ding Yan's confused expression, Xu Lang didn't sell it, but said: "Her name is Ning Yanran, she is the deputy director of the S City Public Security Bureau. As the director of the police station, you don't know your deputy director.
, I’m very strange.”
"What did you say? She is Deputy Director Ning?" Ding Yan suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Xu Lang in disbelief.
Xu Lang just smiled and nodded without saying anything else.
After Ding Yan saw Xu Lang's expression, he immediately realized that he had lost his temper. So, he coughed twice, sat down again, changed the subject and asked, "Look, do you know these two people?"
After saying that, Ding Yan picked up two photos from the table and handed them to Xu Lang.
After Xu Lang took it, he looked at it and found that the two photos were of a man and a woman. The man was a middle-aged man in his forties. The man was lying on his back on the bed, his clothes were neatly dressed, and his eyes were open.
His face was wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and there was a large amount of blood on his chest. According to the photo, the deceased should have been stabbed to death with a sharp weapon. As for what kind of sharp weapon, Xu Lang couldn't be sure until he saw the body.
, the white sheets and bedding under the man were stained with scarlet blood. Xu Lang had seen him before. He was the man who was on the lower bunk of Xiao Yueyue. Xu Lang remembered that when he got out of the car, he saw that the other man was still there.
He was still alive, but he didn't expect that just a few hours later, this man would be dead.
I have seen the man Xu Lang, but I have not seen the woman Xu Lang. She is a woman who looks to be in her thirties. The woman has an average appearance, with short hair that reaches her ears. The woman in the photo still maintains a
In the sleeping position, the woman's face is purple-red, there are bleeding spots on the facial skin and eyelid membranes, the nose is slightly skewed, and there are traces of liquid in the mouth and nose. However, it has dried up and the corpse spots have already appeared. According to the photos,
, the deceased had been dead for at least more than thirty hours.
"Have you seen these two people?" Ding Yan asked.
Xu Lang took the man's photo and said, "I have seen this man before. When he got off the bus, I saw him getting up and getting dressed, packing his luggage and getting ready to get off the bus."
"What about that woman?" Ding Yan continued to ask.
Xu Lang shook his head and said: "This woman has been sleeping since we entered the box. She was still sleeping when we got off the car. At that time, she was sleeping facing the wall. I didn't see her face.
, I only determined that the other party was a woman through her body outline and hair."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Ding Yan suddenly frowned and asked, "You mean, this woman has been sleeping when you came from the hard-seat carriage to the sleeper carriage?"
Xu Lang nodded and said: "Not only this woman, but also that man was sleeping with a quilt on him when we went to the carriage."
"Have you seen these two before this?" Ding Yan asked.
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen them."
"Have there been any communication between you?"
"No."
"Besides the three of you and the two deceased people, was there anyone else in the carriage at that time?"
Hearing Ding Yan's question, Xu Lang looked at Ding Yan with some confusion and said, "Yes, there is a young woman."
"Woman? What woman?" Ding Yan asked.
Seeing Ding Yan's expression, Xu Lang became more and more confused. He looked at Ding Yan and asked tentatively: "There was a young female passenger in the lower bunk on the left at that time. Didn't you find out?"
Ding Yan was also very confused. He turned to look at Deng Zijun and asked, "Is there this person over there at the train station?"
Deng Zijun put down his pen and flipped through the information on the side.
Said: "No, according to the data, someone did buy a ticket for the lower berth, but it was a man named Wang Haonan."
"Man? Are you sure?" Ding Yan looked at Deng Zijun and asked.
Deng Zijun said with great certainty: "I asked the conductor on the train and it was indeed a man named Wang Haonan who bought the ticket for the lower berth. However, he didn't seem to get on the train. When the conductor checked the ticket, he didn't see that man.
"
Hearing what Deng Zijun said, Ding Yan immediately turned his head and looked at Xu Lang, casting a suspicious look.
Xu Lang was stunned when he heard the conversation between the two people. He also felt confused, but he still said: "What I saw was indeed a woman in her mid-twenties. We also talked, no matter what she was wearing,
There is no doubt that the dress and the voice of a woman are that of a woman, and I was not the only one who saw it, Lu Xing and Xiao Yueyue who were with me also saw it."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Ding Yan's brows furrowed and he still looked at Xu Lang suspiciously.
Xu Lang knew that his words would definitely not dispel the other party's suspicion, so he thought for a while and said: "Oh, by the way, during the time we were on the train, she was a waiter selling snacks and catering on the train.
After purchasing something, you can ask the attendant on the train."
Ding Yan took a deep look at Xu Lang, said nothing, and just nodded. Then he turned his head, leaned close to Deng Zijun's ear, and whispered a few words to him softly. Then, he stood up and left the interrogation room No. 1, leaving only
Deng Zijun and Xu Lang looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
After Ding Yan went out for about ten minutes, he came back with a livid face. This time, he didn't come in alone. He came in with Ning Yanran, who was holding Xiao Yueyue's hand. Obviously, Ding Yanran came in with Xiao Yueyue.
Yan Yan has confirmed Ning Yanran's identity, otherwise, Ning Yanran would not be able to come in.
"You can go." Ding Yan glanced at Xu Lang with complicated eyes and said.
"Have you asked clearly?" Xu Lang stood up and did not leave the interrogation room immediately, but looked at Ding Yan and asked.
Ding Yan turned his head, glanced at Xiao Yueyue, who was being held by Ning Yanran, and Lu Xing at the door of Interrogation Room 1, then nodded and said, "Although I don't know yet whether what you said is true,
However, we will continue to investigate."
Xu Lang nodded, stood up, walked to Ning Yanran, took Xiao Yueyue's hand and walked out the door.
Just when Xu Lang was about to walk out of the interrogation room, Ding Yan's voice came from behind.
"Are you Xu Lang, criminal investigation consultant?"
Xu Lang stopped, turned his head, looked at Ding Yan who looked puzzled, nodded, and said, "That's right."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?" After Ding Yan heard Xu Lang admit his identity, he quickly walked up to Xu Lang and said with an apologetic look.
"You didn't even ask."
"Ah?! Haha..."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, then an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he laughed twice. Then he changed the subject and said: "Since Director Ning and Advisor Xu are both here, then, what's going on here?"
Why don't you two handle the case..."
However, before Ding Yan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ning Yanran. She looked at Ding Yan and said: "The case happened in your jurisdiction, so naturally it is up to you to solve it. It is unjustifiable for us to intervene directly.
"
"Ning Ju is right, Ning Ju is right."
Ding Yan rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
Xu Lang ignored Ding Yan's embarrassment and the stunned Deng Zijun. He thought for a moment and said, "Let me describe to you what that woman looks like."
Ding Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly: "I'm sorry, Consultant Xu."
Xu Lang shook his head, noncommittal, and said slowly: "The other person is about 25 or 26 years old, about 1.63 meters tall, with long black shawl hair, a good face, double eyelids, thin lips, and teeth.
She is neat and has probably not had plastic surgery. She wears a white down jacket on her upper body, a pair of black pants on her lower body, and a pair of black high heels about five centimeters on her feet. Her fingers are dyed red nails. By the way, she is a
Smoker."
When Xu Lang was describing the woman's appearance, Ding Yan quickly motioned with his eyes to Deng Zijun to take a pen and write it down. However, Deng Zijun seemed to have not recovered from the shock just now and did not see Ding Yan's eyes. Ding Yan was just himself
He picked up the pen and started recording. After Xu Lang finished speaking, he also finished recording. Then he raised his head, looked at Xu Lang, and asked habitually: "Is there anything more?"
Xu Lang thought for a moment and said, "No more."
"Thank you for your hard work, can you go back now? Do you have a car? If not, I will drive you back?" Ding Yan said.
Xu Lang and Ning Yanran shook their heads at the same time. They did not look at Ding Yan anymore, but turned and walked towards the door of the interrogation room. When Xu Lang reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Ding Yan and asked:
"Can we go to the morgue and see these two bodies?"
"Okay, okay, of course." Ding Yan said quickly.
Xu Lang turned his head, glanced at Ning Yanran again, and said, "Together?"
Ning Yanran didn't hesitate at all, and walked directly outside. Obviously, she wanted to see the bodies of the two deceased people. Xu Lang looked at Ning Yanran's retreating back, subconsciously touched his nose, and shook his head helplessly.
Shaking his head, he realized that Ning Yanran had not changed in the past few years, and her personality was still the same as before, which was a bit hard to understand.
