The security guard who was walking towards the security room was smoking. When the door of the security room was violently pushed open by Xu Lang from the outside, the security guard was startled.
"You...are you okay?"
The security guard was a very young man. He opened his mouth wide, looked at Xu Lang in shock, and asked stammeringly.
"Just...huhu...was there anyone...huhu...in and out of the community just now?" Xu Lang asked while breathing heavily.
"Yes...yes."
Seeing Xu Lang's anxious and stuttering look, the security guard also stuttered.
"Surveillance, I want to see the surveillance." Xu Lang said.
"good."
The security guard stood up and was about to show Xu Lang the surveillance camera. However, as soon as his hand touched the machine, he remembered something and turned his head to look at Xu Lang, whose face was flushed.
"Why should I show you the surveillance camera? Who are you? I remember that you are not a resident of our community. Please get out." The security guard finally came to his senses and scolded Xu Lang.
Xu Lang didn't have time to talk nonsense with the security guard. He took out his police card and threw it into the security guard's hand. Then he put the pistol in his hand on the table, came to the monitor, and took a few glances.
I found the surveillance camera at the entrance of the community and started operating it myself.
After the security guard took the police card that Xu Lang threw over, he confirmed Xu Lang's identity with just one glance. When he saw Xu Lang's pistol on the table, he became a little uncertain again.
Subconsciously, he took two steps back, slightly away from Xu Lang, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling someone.
Xu Lang noticed the small movements of the security guard, but he ignored them. He just wanted to know who else entered and who went out after he entered the community.
Xu Lang arrived at the community at about one o'clock in the afternoon, and it is now 4:30 in the afternoon. If someone enters the community, it must be during this time period, so Xu Lang mainly checks the surveillance videos of these three hours.
Watching the video at 12 times the speed, Xu Lang would pause every time someone entered or exited the community, turned around and asked the security guard if this person was a resident of the community. After receiving a positive answer, Xu Lang continued to check.
Just as Xu Lang was checking the surveillance video, other security guards from the security room also came over. They did not disturb Xu Lang rashly, but took Xu Lang's police certificate from the security guard and looked at it, and then glanced at it again.
A glance at Xu Lang's pistol placed on the table confirmed Xu Lang's identity, which also saved Xu Lang from the trouble of explanation.
Three hours of video didn't seem like much, and Xu Lang was still viewing it at thirty-two times the speed. Even so, it still took Xu Lang nearly an hour to watch it.
After watching the video, Xu Lang's face became even more ugly, because during these three hours, only three people entered the community, two old ladies and a middle-aged woman, and one person walked out of the community.
There are five people, all residents of the community. They don't look suspicious at all. Moreover, according to the security guard, these eight people do not live in the unit of Building B, but are residents of several other unit buildings.
Except for these eight people who had been in and out of the community, no strangers had entered the community after Xu Lang entered the community and before arriving here, which made Xu Lang feel very puzzling.
"Did that person not follow me to Lushui Community, but arrive here ahead of time?"
Xu Lang thought so in his heart.
Immediately, Xu Lang thought of another question. If the person who took the diary arrived early, then the best choice for him after taking the diary is to leave the community as soon as possible. If this is the case, Xu Lang
It's impossible that Lang didn't see the other party on the surveillance camera.
Xu Lang remembered that he saw Ma Chunmei at around two o'clock and went to Ma Chunmei's house to ask her about the situation. He left Ma Chunmei's house at four o'clock sharp.
Xu Lang just watched the video and found that no one entered or left the community from about two o'clock to four-thirty. However, the diary was taken away. This gave rise to three consequences.
First, the person who took the diary was still in the community, but he was hiding in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to leave.
Second, the person who took the diary was a certain resident in the community.
Third, there are other exits in the community, and the person who took the diary left from other parts of the community.
Thinking of these three possibilities, Xu Lang felt that the third possibility was more likely, so he turned his head, looked at the security guard behind him and asked: "Is this the only exit in the community?"
"Yes, there is this one at the exit."
"Are you sure?" Xu Lang asked in disbelief.
"Sure." The security guard said with great certainty.
Xu Lang looked deeply at the security guard for a few times, then withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought.
The third most likely possibility has been ruled out, which means that the person who took the diary is still in the community. Thinking of this, Xu Lang immediately stood up, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Chengdong
The phone number of Fang Deren of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.
"Hey, Captain Fang, I'm Xu Lang. I'm in Lushui Community. I just found some new clues about Qin Fen here. Bring someone over immediately and call the police comrades from the nearby police station."
"Don't ask so many questions. Come over as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you in the security room."
After saying this, Xu Lang hung up the phone.
After doing all this, Xu Lang picked up the pistol on the table, turned off the safety, put it back on his waist, and took the police pistol from the security guard-
Official certificate, and then ask the security guards to strictly control the exits of the community. Anyone who enters or exits the community must tell themselves that Xu Lang is sitting in the security room waiting for Fang Deren and the others to arrive.
————
Just as Xu Lang was rushing from the sixth floor to the security room in a hurry, someone on the balcony of a room in Lushui Community lifted the curtains and looked at Xu Lang through the gap.
The curtains were very thick and the room was very dark. This person was completely shrouded in darkness. Through the light exposed by the lifted curtains, you could vaguely see that this person should be a man.
Behind the man is the coffee table in the living room. On the coffee table are three black diaries. These are the diaries Xu Lang found just now in Qin Fen's bedroom in Room 604.
When the man saw Xu Lang rushing into the security room and not coming out again, he lowered the curtains.
"hehe......"
When the curtains were lowered, the man let out a chuckle, whether it was a confident smile or a mocking smile, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
As the curtains were lowered, the originally dark room was completely plunged into darkness. The man walked to the coffee table and sat down. He stretched out his hand, picked up one of the diaries and looked at it. A pair of big bright eyes shone in the darkness.
radiant.
————
Not long after Xu Lang finished making the call, the piercing siren came to Lushui Community from far away, attracting the attention of people around him.
After Xu Lang heard the sirens, he walked out of the security room, and then saw Fang Deren, who looked puzzled, and a large group of police officers.
After seeing Xu Lang, Fang Deren hurriedly came over and asked eagerly: "Team Leader Xu, what's wrong? What happened?"
Ding Haoqiong and Lai Pi also came with Fang Deren. At this time, they also looked at Xu Lang with doubtful faces.
"I just went to Room 604 to check the scene again." Xu Lang said slowly.
"Then what?"
"I found three diaries left by Qin Fen under the mattress in Qin Fen's bedroom."
"Diary?"
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Fang Deren and the others were stunned and looked at each other. It was obvious that Xu Lang's discovery had not been made before.
"What was written in the diary?" Ding Haoqiong asked quickly.
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "I only read a little bit. Qin Fen said in his diary that he was not Qin Youqi's biological son."
"What else?"
"there is none left."
"No more? Where's the diary?" Ding Haoqiong asked eagerly.
Xu Lang's face was very ugly and he said: "Just when I found the diary, Ma Chunmei from Room 504 downstairs found me. She provided me with some clues. When I returned to Room 604 from Room 504
, and found that the door of Room 604 had been opened and the diary had been taken away."
"You mean, someone entered Room 604 and took the diary after you left, right?" Ding Haoqiong said.
Xu Lang nodded.
"Quickly, go investigate the surveillance." Fang Deren finally understood what Xu Lang meant by hurriedly asking him to bring someone over, so he immediately shouted to the people behind him.
"No, I've already watched the video. Before I entered the community, until now, only eight people have entered and exited the community. They are all residents of the community, so there should be no problem." Xu Lang waved his hand and stopped him, preparing to defend himself.
Policeman checking surveillance in room.
"What do you mean, Team Leader Xu?" Fang Deren asked tentatively.
"This person must still be in the community. If I ask you to come, I will seal off the community and conduct door-to-door searches." Xu Lang said with a gloomy face.
"This...I'm afraid this is not good, right?" Fang Deren hesitated at this time.
Xu Lang raised his head and glanced at Fang Deren. He knew what Fang Deren was hesitating and struggling with. More than a week had passed since Qin Fen's case occurred, but there was still no definite conclusion. Qin Fen died suddenly and unexpectedly.
It was still someone who planned the murder, and there is still no definite answer. But now, it is definitely not appropriate to search the entire community one by one because of the diary that Xu Lang found.
Not to mention that there are hundreds of households in Lushui Community. Searching is a very troublesome and laborious task. Just the reason for conducting the search is also a big problem. I can’t say for sure. I suspect that you started from Room 604.
If you steal something, let me search your home. Although every citizen is obliged to cooperate with the police in investigating the case, the police do not have the right to enter other people's homes to search without sufficient evidence.
It's easy to talk to, but if you meet serious people, it will probably be very troublesome. Moreover, Lvshui Community is a high-end community, and the people who live here are professional elites. They all have a strong legal awareness. If it is really
If you follow Xu Lang's approach, it will definitely create a bad impression.
Ding Haoqiong saw that Xu Lang was silent. He thought for a while and said, "Captain Fang, let's have someone go to the underground parking lot to see if there is anything abnormal there. In addition, before we have someone go to Unit 1,
Conduct an investigation to see if anyone suspicious appears during this period."
Hearing what Ding Haoqiong said, Fang Deren turned his head and looked at Ding Haoqiong, then looked at it again and found that Xu Lang had no objection, so he did as Ding Haoqiong arranged.
After Fang Deren led the people away, Ding Haoqiong pulled Xu Lang aside and asked: "Brother Lang, did you really find the diary in Room 604?"
Xu Lang raised his head, took a deep look at Ding Haoqiong, and said nothing.
Although Xu Lang did not give an answer, Ding Haoqiong still knew what Xu Lang meant. The diary must exist, but now it has been taken away by someone, and this person is probably still in Lushui Community.
, as long as this person is found, or the diary was taken away, everything may become clear.
Ding Haoqiong is now curious about whether the diary exists, but what is in the diary, whether the things recorded in the diary are related to Qin Fen's death, and who took these diaries.
, why would he do this.
"Brother Lang, you just said that it was written in the diary that Qin Fen is not Qin Youqi's biological son. What's going on?" Ding Haoqiong remembered another thing and asked.
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "I don't know, that's what it says in the diary."
"But don't you think it's strange?" Ding Haoqiong looked at Xu Lang and asked.
"Strange? What's strange?" Xu Lang asked.
"In order to determine whose blood stains were left on the wall of Room 604, we collected biological samples from Qin Youqi, Qiao Lina and Xiao Qin Fen. After comparison and analysis, we found that they are indeed related. The DNA report will definitely not be wrong.
Right?" Ding Haoqiong looked at Xu Lang and said.
Hearing this, Xu Lang also frowned, and he had completely forgotten about this incident.
Ding Haoqiong is right. Qin Fen's DNA and Qin Youqi's DNA have been compared. They are indeed father and son. If Qin Fen is not Qin Youqi's son, then whose son is he? Could it be that what is written in the diary?
Is it fake?
However, if what is written in the diary is false, then why did Qin Fen write it like this, and why did he hide the diary so secretly, and why would someone steal those diaries? If
Qin Fen's diary is fake, there is absolutely no need to do this.
Ding Haoqiong was confused, and Xu Lang was also very puzzled.
However, the most critical issue at the moment is to find those three diaries.
————
The more people we have, the more we can do things more efficiently.
Soon, news came from Fang Deren.
In the underground parking lot, they did not find anything unusual. Security guards had patrolled the underground parking lot before, and no suspicious people were found.
As for the visit to Unit B of Lushui Community, they found that most of the residents were not at home at this time, and those who were at home were either elderly people or housewives like Ma Chunmei who were taking care of their children at home. They did not see anything suspicious.
people and things.
After all the trouble, it was already dark, but neither the diary nor the person who stole the diary was found. Everything in the community was normal.
After this result appeared, everyone began to doubt one thing, that is, whether there is a so-called diary. After all, it was Xu Lang who said there was a diary, and Xu Lang came to Lushui Community alone this time.
He didn't bring anyone with him, so no one else knew whether he had seen the diary. Of course, they also knew that Xu Lang, as an old criminal policeman and the leader of the CSY criminal investigation team, could not lie.
Yes, but after a lot of trouble, nothing suspicious was found. It is normal for them to subconsciously doubt whether the diary exists.
It was getting dark and it was time to get off work. Many residents who had worked all day came back one after another. When they saw the police car parked at the entrance of the community, they all looked at them with surprise and confusion, which made the investigation work impossible.
There is no way to proceed.
Although Xu Lang firmly believed that the diary left by Qin Fen had been taken away, and the person who took the diary was still in the community, the police did not find this person after visiting, nor did they find anything suspicious, so
, the investigation is temporarily over.
Xu Lang was very disappointed and angry. Someone stole important evidence under his nose. This was a shame for Xu Lang. However, what could Xu Lang do besides being angry?
He had no choice but to accept this fact. Therefore, after the investigation yielded no results, Xu Lang asked Fang Deren and the others to leave, and he, Ding Haoqiong, and Lai Pi returned to Room 604 again.
After Xu Lang discovered that the diary had been stolen, he hurriedly chased him out without locking the door. Therefore, when they came to Room 604 again, the door was still open, and the door of Room 603 next door was still open.
But it's still closed.
A group of three people came to Qin Fen's bedroom and saw that Xu Lang's bedroom was in a mess. They believed that Xu Lang must have discovered something.
Lai Pi is a veteran and once worked in the reconnaissance company, so when he listened to Xu Lang's explanation of how he found the diary, he went to look at the bed frame, then Simmons' mattress, and finally,
Make sure there is something on the bed.
However, it is useless to prove this. The diary has been stolen, and no one knows what is recorded in it. Even who is taking these diaries now and for what purpose.
Didn't figure it out.
There must be an investigation, but how to investigate and how to investigate?
Now, the only thing we know is what Xu Lang said, Qin Fen is not Qin Youqi's biological son, which is now the biggest doubt.
