Murder in the Mountain Village, Murder by Train Chapter 36: The mysterious woman on the train appears
The detection of each case cannot be completed by one person alone. It requires the simultaneous action of many people and the simultaneous cooperation of many departments. Even for a person like Xu Lang who has rich criminal investigation experience, if there are no other police officers
Even with the help of others, you cannot solve the case alone.
Xu Lang read through most of the investigation materials on Lu Ye's case in Du Ziqiao's office, and there were some that he had not yet read. At around five o'clock in the afternoon, when the students were about to finish school, Xu Lang read these unread
The information was taken away.
When Xu Lang walked out of the Public Security Bureau and was about to take a taxi to the experimental elementary school to pick up Xiao Yueyue from school, Ning Yanran appeared next to Xu Lang in her black Audi car. She rolled down the window and said to Xu Lang:
"boarding."
Xu Lang hesitated for a moment, then got into Ning Yanran's car and sat in the passenger seat.
When Xu Lang got in the car, Ning Yanran saw the information in Xu Lang's hand. She just glanced at it, then turned her head and continued driving. While driving, she asked: "How is the investigation going?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said: "Although the old man's death is similar to what Shen Minxue speculated, the problem is still very big. The main clue now is still on the strange man. As long as his identity information is found, everything can be solved.
It’s much clearer.”
Ning Yanran nodded and did not continue to ask.
The Experimental Primary School is not far from the General Bureau of Public Security. Not long after, the two people arrived outside the school. At this time, the students were also out of school. The children, carrying small schoolbags, jumped out of the school and met their class teacher Shen Shen.
Teacher Fang waved goodbye.
Xu Lang got out of the car, leaned against the car, looked at the door of the school, and waited for Xiao Yueyue to appear.
Not long after, a little girl with a ponytail and a small schoolbag slowly walked out of the school. Her face could not tell whether she was happy or unhappy, but it gave people a sullen look.
It felt like the other children had a few chatting and laughing friends around them, but Xiao Yueyue had no one around her. This made Xiao Yueyue seem a little lonely, and Xu Lang felt very uncomfortable.
When Xiao Yueyue walked out of school, she saw Xu Lang. The depression on the little girl's face disappeared immediately when she saw Xu Lang. She quickly ran to Xu Lang and hugged Xu Lang.
Called affectionately: "Dad."
Xu Lang stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head as before. Then he saw Shen Fang walking towards them along with Xiao Yueyue. Shen Fang stopped a few steps away from Xu Lang.
Next, with a warm smile on his face, he looked at Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue.
Xu Lang first smiled and nodded at Shen Fang, then looked down at Xiao Yueyue and asked, "How do you feel about going to school today?"
"It's okay." Xiao Yueyue said obviously perfunctorily.
Xu Lang didn't say anything. He raised his head, glanced at Shen Fang who was looking at him but hesitated to speak, then opened the rear door and said to Xiao Yueyue: "Get in the car."
Xiao Yueyue climbed into the car obediently. Xu Lang closed the door and looked at Shen Fang and said with a smile: "Teacher Shen is worried about Xiao Yueyue's matter."
Shen Fang shook her head and said: "It's not a matter of taking a lot of trouble. These are all things I should do."
Xu Lang did not answer the conversation, but went straight to the point and asked, "Teacher Shen seemed to have something to tell me just now, right?"
Shen Fang was stunned for a moment, then she glanced at Ning Yanran sitting in the driver's seat, then looked away, looked at Xu Lang and said with a smile: "Xiao Yueyue is a very smart child, and also a precocious child.
She knows many things without me teaching her, so this should be your teaching, right?"
However, to Shen Fang's expectation, Xu Lang shook his head and said, "I haven't taught Xiao Yueyue anything. She learned many things by herself."
Shen Fang was stunned again. She took a deep look at Xu Lang, and then at the little Yueyue behind Xu Lang who was lying on the car window, looking at them curiously. Shen Fang didn't quite believe this.
However, she still said: "Xiao Yueyue has a somewhat withdrawn personality and is unwilling to play with the children in the class. It may be because she has just arrived in this city and is not familiar with the surrounding environment. However, I still hope that Xu
Sir, I can help Xiao Yueyue get familiar with the environment here as soon as possible. After all, being too withdrawn will not be good for her future growth."
Xu Lang nodded and said with a smile: "I will do it, let Teacher Shen worry about it."
Shen Fang straightened the hair around her ears. She raised her head and looked at Xu Lang, shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't always call me Teacher Shen. Just call me Shen Fang."
Xu Lang was not polite to Shen Fang and said directly: "Then just call me Xu Lang from now on. You can also call me Brother Lang."
"Brother Lang?" Shen Fang looked at Xu Lang curiously.
Xu Lang subconsciously touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "They all call me that."
"Oh, that's how it is."
"Didi didi"
Just when the two of them were embarrassed and didn't know what to say, the horn of the car behind Xu Lang rang. Xu Lang looked at Shen Fang and said with a smile: "It's getting late, so I'll leave first.
It's time, let's have a meal together, Xiao Yueyue will trouble you even more."
Shen Fang nodded first, then shook her head and said, "You're welcome."
Xu Lang didn't talk to Shen Fang anymore. He turned around and opened the passenger door and got in. After Xu Lang got in the car, Ning Yanran immediately started the car and left the school gate.
Shen Fang looked at Xu Lang and Ning Yanran who were gradually walking away. She smiled, then turned around and left the school.
————
After the car drove away from the school gate, Ning Yanran drove the car carefully and asked casually: "What did you and that female teacher talk about?"
Xu Lang looked out the window and said casually: "Nothing to talk about."
"We didn't talk about anything, and why did we talk for so long?" Ning Yanran asked in a slightly aggravated tone.
Xu Lang turned his head in confusion, glanced at Ning Yanran, and then turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
Seeing that Xu Lang stopped talking, Ning Yanran didn't know what to ask. However, the corner of her eye always glanced at Xu Lang from time to time, her eyes a little complicated.
Xiao Yueyue has been silent since she got in the car. At this moment, she is sitting in the back seat, looking at Ning Yanran who is driving and Xu Lang who is silent, her big dark eyes rolling around in her eye sockets.
, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
The car did not drive directly to Xu Lang's community, but went to the vegetable market first. Xu Lang asked Xiao Yueyue to stay in the car, while he entered the vegetable market alone to buy vegetables.
.
Not long after Xu Lang got off the car, Ning Yanran also got off the car and quickly came to Xu Lang's side. Watching Xu Lang's every move, Xu Lang raised his eyebrows subconsciously when he saw Ning Yanran, but there was no
say what.
"Boss, how do you sell this tofu?"
"A piece or two."
"A piece or two?"
"Yes, one or two yuan."
"Okay, give me two dollars."
The boss picked two yuan of tofu, put it in a bag, and handed it to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang handed over a five-dollar change, and the boss gave Xu Lang a dollar. After Xu Lang took it, he looked at the boss, stunned, and asked, "Isn't it one or two yuan?"
The boss nodded and said: "Yes, one piece of tofu costs two yuan, two pieces of tofu costs four yuan, you give me five yuan, and I will give you one yuan, that's right."
Xu Lang was speechless again.
"Ha ha......"
At this moment, Ning Yanran, who was following Xu Lang, couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing. She didn't expect that five years later, Xu Lang would change from the slovenly, slovenly-dressed man he used to be.
, he actually turned into a good family man who can bargain with the vegetable vendor owner. This is something she never expected.
Xu Lang looked at the innocent and confused look in the vegetable vendor's eyes. Xu Lang had no choice but to take back the dollar angrily, and then carried the bag containing tofu and continued to wander around the vegetable market.
It's dinner time now. There are many people coming to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. It's noisy. Moreover, the vegetable market sells everything. Some sell vegetables and fruits, some sell braised products, and some sell live poultry. The smell
The smell is not particularly pleasant. If it is the first time for people to come to the vegetable market, they will probably leave after a short time here. Xu Lang and Ning Yanran often visit murder scenes and have been to all kinds of places. Naturally,
I am immune to this smell.
The two of them strolled around the vegetable market for a while. Xu Lang bought some vegetables and a chicken, which he asked the boss to kill on the spot.
After buying the ingredients for dinner, the two of them walked out of the vegetable market. Xu Lang put the things in the trunk, then took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Ning Yanran, saying: "Take Xiao Yueyue back first.
, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some things.”
After Ning Yanran took the key, she didn't say much, got in the car and drove away with Xiao Yueyue, while Xu Lang turned around and went to the supermarket. He wanted to buy some beer and other things. After all, pornography
Braised chicken still needs something like beer to assist.
When Xu Lang went to the supermarket to buy the things he needed and walked out of the supermarket, a woman walked past her and got into a taxi.
Originally, Xu Lang didn't notice the woman, but when the woman got on the car, she accidentally looked at Xu Lang, and Xu Lang happened to see her. The two people looked at each other, and Xu Lang was stunned for a moment.
.
While Xu Lang was stunned, the woman had already left in a taxi and disappeared from Xu Lang's sight in an instant.
After Xu Lang came back to his senses, his expression immediately changed. He had seen the woman just now. Although he didn't know her name, Xu Lang and Lu Xing were still talking to each other on the train returning from Beihu Province.
However, this woman was the woman who had been lying in Zhang Haonan's bunk, and she was also the suspicious person that the police had not found until now.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang immediately came to the street and stopped a taxi. After getting in, he said to the driver: "Catch up with the taxi in front."
The driver was a middle-aged uncle. He glanced at Xu Lang, who was still holding a beer drink in his hand, frowned, and asked, "Which taxi are you talking about?"
Xu Lang looked forward and found that there were at least four or five taxis on the street in front of him. Xu Lang quickly identified them, pointed to the taxi parked at the intersection and said, "Well, that's the one."
Fortunately, it was the rush hour after get off work, and there were many vehicles on the street, so the woman's taxi did not leave the street immediately. Otherwise, with Xu Lang's delay just now, the taxi would have left long ago, Xu Lang thought. I can't even catch up.
The middle-aged uncle glanced at Xu Lang, then at the taxi. Without saying anything, he turned on the meter, started the car, and began to follow.
The middle-aged uncle was very skilled. Under Xu Lang's urging, when the taxi the woman was riding in was about to disappear from his sight, the uncle relied on his skillful driving skills to follow it from a distance.
, the two taxis started chasing each other one after another.
"Jingle Bell"
Just after the car drove two streets away, Xu Lang's cell phone rang in his pocket.
Xu Lang took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was Ning Yanran calling. Xu Lang answered the call.
"Why did it take you so long to buy something? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"I encountered something unexpected here and I will probably come back later. You can help with the cooking first. If you don't want to do it, take Xiao Yueyue out to eat."
"What happened?"
"I saw the woman I met on the train. I'm following her now. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'm hanging up."
After Xu Lang said this, before Ning Yanran could ask any more questions, he hung up the phone and dialed Du Ziqiao's number. The call was quickly connected.
"Hey, Brother Lang, what's wrong? Are you going to treat me to dinner?"
"I can eat, but it will be another day. I need your help with something now."
"what's up?"
"Remember, I told you this morning about the woman I met on the train?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"I saw her. She is in a taxi now. The license plate is XXXX. You should lead someone to intercept this taxi immediately."
"Okay, no problem. Don't hang up the phone. I'll make arrangements immediately."
Xu Lang didn't say anything. When he answered the phone, he kept his eyes fixed on the taxi in front of him, for fear that the other party would leave his sight.
Although the middle-aged uncle has been driving, he has become very vigilant since Xu Lang got in the car and asked him to follow the taxi. He would look at Xu Lang from the corner of his eye from time to time, as if he was guessing.
Xu Lang's identity, at first, he thought that Xu Lang was a member of the underworld. After all, he had been watching those gangster movies recently after work, and he subconsciously thought of it. However, when he heard Xu Lang's opponent just now, he
Uncle Nian had vaguely guessed Xu Lang's identity, so he subconsciously asked: "Are you a policeman?"
Xu Lang knew what the taxi driver was thinking. He put the things he bought at his feet, took out his ID from his pocket, waved it in front of the taxi driver, and said, "Yes, I am a policeman.
Sitting in that taxi was a criminal suspect we are chasing. We hope you can cooperate with our police in handling the case."
Although the middle-aged uncle did not see clearly what was in Xu Lang's ID, he saw the words "S City Public Security Bureau" written on the ID. He immediately did not suspect anything and said immediately: "No problem."
Just after Xu Lang and the others chased them for two more streets, Du Ziqiao's voice rang on Xu Lang's cell phone.
"Hey, are you still there?"
"Yes, you said."
"Where are you now?"
Xu Lang looked around and then said: "We are on Changhong East Road and will soon reach Huari Road. Have you arrived?"
"I have notified the traffic police department and they have set up a card to intercept it."
While the two were talking, Xu Lang saw the taxi the woman was riding in turning to the intersection of Huari Road, and then saw several traffic policemen at the intersection, stopping all the passing vehicles.
When the car stopped not far away, several more police cars drove past and stopped not far away, forming an encirclement.
Xu Lang's taxi also stopped not far away. Xu Lang got out of the car. When he got out of the car, he said to the driver: "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."
The middle-aged uncle nodded and said nothing.
Just when Xu Lang got out of the car, Xu Lang saw a person getting out of a police car, it was Du Ziqiao. He came to the taxi, knocked on the window, and said: "Stop the engine, driver's license.
"
Xu Lang calmly came to Du Ziqiao, looked inside the taxi, and found that the passenger seat was empty, and there was a woman sitting in the back seat, and this woman was the woman Xu Lang saw before.
After the taxi driver handed his driver's license to Du Ziqiao, he asked: "Uncle policeman, what's the matter? Taxis also need to be checked?"
Du Ziqiao did not answer the other party's question, but turned to look at Xu Lang. When Xu Lang nodded, Du Ziqiao suddenly said to the driver: "Get out of the car and get checked."
"Damn, what are you doing?" the taxi driver complained.
"Get off the car!" Du Ziqiao shouted sharply.
The woman who had been sitting in the back row had no expression when she saw Du Ziqiao. However, when she saw Xu Lang, a look of surprise finally appeared on her expressionless face.
When the driver unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out of the car, the woman suddenly took out a dagger from her bag, strangled the taxi driver's neck from behind, and held the knife against the taxi driver with the other hand.
On his neck, he said to Du Ziqiao with a smile: "Get out of the way, let us go, otherwise, you know."
In an instant, Du Ziqiao pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at the woman. When the policemen in several nearby police cars saw what was happening here, they pushed open the car doors, got out of the car, and raised their pistols.
Aimed at the taxi.
"You have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender." Du Ziqiao looked at the woman and said expressionlessly.
"hehe......"
The woman still had a smiling expression. She chuckled, then shook her head and said, "What if I don't let go?"
