"This is the position of the camera." Xu Lang exclaimed.
Fan Yang nodded and said, "Yes, that's the location of the silent video, where the camera is."
Xu Lang didn't speak, and frowned, looking at the scene in front of him. On the edge of the rooftop, Xu Lang saw an iron frame similar to a cross, with many iron wires on it. When Xu Lang first saw it, he didn't pay much attention.
I thought it was an antenna for some equipment or something like that. After all, this is the office building of a TV station, so it’s normal to have something like this.
But now, looking carefully, Xu Lang discovered that the cross was where the man was at the beginning of the video.
After making this discovery, Xu Lang quickly lowered his head and looked at the ground. Sure enough, from here to where the cross was, there were traces left by something rubbing on the ground. However, these traces had been cleaned up.
It looks similar to the surrounding ground and is not very obvious, but if you look carefully, you can still see some traces.
Seeing this, Xu Lang immediately thought of Jiang Lin'er's every move in the video. Xu Lang remembered that she was holding an extremely sharp scalpel in her hand, so Xu Lang began to search everywhere.
Fan Yang, who was standing next to Xu Lang, seemed to know what Xu Lang was looking for. She said, "There's no need to look for it. I already looked for it just now and the scalpel was not found at the scene."
After hearing this, Xu Lang stopped his futile movements, squatted on the spot, and his eyes began to blur.
The strange video that appeared before the crime, the cruel and bloody crime scene, and the disappearance of Jiang Lin'er, all of this seems to indicate that this case is not that simple, and this is probably Sun Wenyao's fifth crime.
Well, combined with the previous four cases, the death of Shen Shen was just the beginning, and the follow-up events have not yet unfolded. In other words, the follow-up events have already happened, but Xu Lang and the others don't know about it yet.
Thinking of this, several questions appeared in Xu Lang's mind.
First, was Sun Wenyao the culprit? If it was him, how did he do all this? In other words, was Sun Wenyao the culprit alone? Did he have any helpers? If so, then who was this person? If so, was Sun Wenyao the culprit?
If it wasn’t Sun Wenyao, who killed Caring?
Second, why did the murderer kill You Guan instead of Jiang Lin'er, who is now being accused by thousands of people?
Third, why did Jiang Liner appear at the scene of the crime? Was she an insider, a participant, or a victim? Where is she now? Was she killed or absconded?
Fourth, who shot the video? Who uploaded the video? Although the person who uploaded the video was Jiang Liner, why did she do this? Or maybe someone stole her account and uploaded this
A video, if so, who is this person? Is it the murderer? If so, what is his motive and purpose?
Fifth, Xu Lang had previously guessed that Sun Wenyao killed people according to the seven deadly sins, Yang Rongwei's lust, Chen Qiumin's gluttony, Zou Renjiang's greed, and Qin Liang's laziness. Then, what follows should be rage. If
If this is really the case, Caring should be an angry person, but what does this have to do with killing him? Also, Caring's body was dismembered alive, which reminded Xu Lang of the punishment measures for angry people.
, is the dismemberment of a living body. So, is this really the truth?
There are too many questions, and the police need to investigate them step by step.
After Xu Lang came to his senses, he stood up from the ground. Maybe he had been squatting for too long. When Xu Lang stood up, he felt his legs were numb. He was unsteady and his body staggered. Fortunately, Fan Yang
With quick eyesight and quick hands, he supported Xu Lang and Xu Lang did not fall down.
After standing firm, Xu Lang asked directly: "Where is Jiang Lin'er now?"
Fan Yang shook his head and said, "You should ask Luo Jiayan about this. She has already asked the staff of the Life Newspaper."
Hearing this, Xu Lang nodded and said nothing, but moved his legs and feet, and then walked towards the cross.
Along the way, Xu Lang lowered his head and scanned the ground with his eyes, looking for something. In fact, what he was looking for was the scalpel that appeared in Jiang Lin'er's hand in the video. However, it wasn't until Xu Lang
When he walked to the cross, he still couldn't find it. Fan Yang was right, there was indeed no scalpel at the scene, which made Xu Lang somewhat disappointed.
Standing in front of the cross, Xu Lang discovered that it was made of four steel pipes. The vertical one was made of two two-meter steel pipes welded side by side on the rooftop. Xu Lang stretched out his hand, pushed it, and shook it.
It was found that the steel pipe was welded very firmly, and the steel pipe did not shake at all. The same was true for the horizontal one, which was made up of two steel pipes over one meter in length welded together side by side.
In addition, Xu Lang also saw a lot of iron wires on the steel pipe. These wires were wrapped around the cross like a spider web. Xu Lang took a closer look and found that there were blood stains on the steel pipe, as well as some flesh and blood tissue. It looked like
, the figure in the video was here at the time.
At this moment, Wang Guofu walked up to Xu Lang, looked at the cross, then looked at Xu Lang, and said, "Team Leader Xu."
Xu Lang turned around and looked at Wang Guofu with an expression that said something was wrong.
"That...this..."
Seeing Wang Guofu's hesitant expression, Xu Lang frowned subconsciously and said directly: "Director Wang, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Oh, that's it." Wang Guofu adjusted his mood and said quickly: "Where you are now is where you were yesterday.
The location where Tian Zhoukai and Zheng Susu committed suicide by jumping off the building."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Xu Lang frowned, looked at Wang Guofu, and motioned for him to continue.
"Well, when we came here to survey the site yesterday, this thing didn't exist here, but today it appeared."
Wang Guofu did not continue talking, but the meaning was obvious. Since the cross did not appear here during the day yesterday, and now the cross appeared again, it must have been welded by someone after Wang Guofu and the others completed the survey of the site.
, then, the person who welded this cross is probably the murderer. Even if he is not the murderer, he must know something.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang asked: "Director Wang, can you see anything?"
When Wang Guofu heard Xu Lang's question, he quickly looked at the cross carefully. After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's just an ordinary steel pipe, nothing special."
"oh."
Regarding Wang Guofu's answer, Xu Lang simply said "Oh" and said nothing further, which made Wang Guofu feel somewhat embarrassed.
————
Xu Lang stood in front of the cross and was silent for a long time.
After Ren Xue vomited for a while, she endured the extreme discomfort in her heart, returned to Qin Mingyue, and began the autopsy.
The scene had been photographed to collect evidence, and Qin Mingyue did not find many clues on the body. So, after the preliminary autopsy, Qin Mingyue and Ren Xue called the police from the police station to help remove the body, or to be precise, the body parts.
Put it in the body bag and carry it downstairs, ready to take it back for further autopsy.
After Qin Mingyue and the others left, Luo Jiayan went to the roof of the building and reported the results of her visit to Xu Lang.
According to the investigation and inquiry, we learned that Guan Wen has not returned to work since October 11th. He neither asked for leave nor told anyone. His mobile phone was turned off and he did not have any WeChat messages sent to him by his colleagues.
Reply: Although the landline at home can be connected, no one answered the call. No one knows where he went, what he did, and who he met in the past two days before Caring died.
Hearing this, Xu Lang asked: "What kind of person is Caring?"
"Four years ago, Carry was suddenly transferred to the life department of the TV station as the director. According to his colleagues, Carn's background and backstage seemed to be very powerful. After he came to the life department, the life department changed a lot. He won many awards and even
He has received great attention from the leaders of the station. Generally speaking, he has a strong professional ability and is a man with a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism, but..."
Speaking of this, Luo Jiayan paused.
"But what?" Xu Lang asked.
"However, subordinate employees' evaluation of caring is very bad."
"How to say?"
"Caring's sense of responsibility and professionalism is indeed very strong. However, Caring is very irritable and gets angry and curses at every turn. On the first day he arrived at the Life Department, he fired three old employees because of this incident.
At that time, there was still a big fuss, but in the end, the matter was settled. After Caring took office, many changes took place in the Life Department. He required everyone to complete certain target tasks every month.
Otherwise, you will face the risk of being dismissed or expelled. In the past four years, the Life Department has grown from a department that was ignored by everyone to a top department, second only to the TV station’s facade department. His colleague said
, Care is like a Zhou Bapi. For the sake of news, he will do whatever it takes to have conflicts and frictions with his colleagues. That is a common occurrence, and it is even more trivial for departments to work overtime. Sometimes, for a piece of news, they have to work overtime continuously.
During these days, no one was allowed to go home unless the news was completely taken down. In short, everyone in the life department, regardless of gender, was cared about and scolded."
Luo Jiayan chattered a lot, and Xu Lang frowned as he listened.
Judging from what Luo Jiayan said, Xu Lang summarized the basic character traits of caring. He has a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism, is highly appreciated by his leaders, has a strong background and background, and at the same time, he is an irritable person.
He is also a standard bourgeois person. For the sake of news, he doesn't care about anything and keeps squeezing employees, making many subordinates dissatisfied with him.
If you look at it this way, Caring should be a very annoying person. Such a person should have few friends. Not only do he have few friends in life, but his family life may not be harmonious either.
"What is the basic information for concern? Is he married?" Xu Lang asked.
"Care, male, forty-five years old, native of S City. His father is the deputy director of H Province TV Station, but he has retired. His mother was once a famous female host of S City TV Station."
"Damn it, my family background is really tough." Hearing what Luo Jiayan said, Xu Lang sighed in surprise.
"Care has been married twice. The first one was when he was 28 years old. When he was working at a provincial TV station, he met a female host. The two dated for more than three years and finally got married.
However, after less than three years of marriage, they divorced. They have a daughter, who is now fifteen years old. The girl lives with her mother and is currently studying in high school in Yanjing."
"What's the name of the first wife you care about?" Xu Lang asked.
"Xie Xiaona, my daughter's name is Xie Mengxin. Mother and daughter are currently living, working and studying in Yanjing." Luo Jiayan said while flipping through her workbook.
"Why did they divorce?" Xu Lang asked again.
Luo Jiayan shook her head and said: "For the time being, we only know their basic situation. Further investigation is needed to know the details."
Xu Lang nodded and motioned for Luo Jiayan to continue.
"Caring's second wife is named Peng Yuanyuan. She is a second-generation rich man who has been divorced once. They got married when Caring was thirty-five years old. They divorced less than a year and a half after their marriage. They have no children.
, now, Peng Yuanyuan is living abroad, and the reason for the divorce is unknown."
"What is your current emotional state of concern?"
"Divorced and single."
Xu Lang frowned and asked again: "Has the concerned social circle investigated? Does he have any friends?"
Luo Jiayan shook her head and said: "For the time being, we have only conducted inquiries and investigations on his subordinate employees, and have not yet investigated his social circle. However, according to his colleagues, Caring has few friends. He now lives near the office building.
It’s very close, it only takes about ten minutes to walk there, and I live alone.”
After hearing these basic information, Xu Lang nodded, was silent for a while, and then asked: "What about Jiang Lin'er's situation? How is the investigation going?"
"Oh, I've also asked about Jiang Lin'er's situation."
"How to say?"
"Jiang Lin'er, female, 28 years old, is from Bohai City. She is an only daughter. She graduated from the Department of Journalism. After graduation, she worked at the Life Newspaper. She started as a small employee four years ago.
I am concerned about being promoted to a reporter when she took office. In the past few years, she has indeed reported a lot of major news and is somewhat famous in the circle. Her colleagues rated her as smart, smart, studious, and modest.
, a generous girl, although her work ability is not particularly outstanding, she has a strong learning ability and is a good person, and her colleagues like her very much. "
"What is Jiang Lin'er's emotional state?" Xu Lang asked.
"Unmarried, single."
Hearing this, Xu Lang nodded, then thought about it and asked, "How is the relationship between Jiang Lin'er and Caring?"
"Well, how should I say it?" Luo Jiayan said hesitantly.
Seeing Luo Jiayan like this, Xu Lang frowned subconsciously, turned his head, looked at Luo Jiayan, and asked, "What kind of relationship do they have? Or is their relationship very bad?"
Luo Jiayan shook her head and said, "That's not true. According to feedback from their colleagues, Caring and Jiang Lin'er have a simple relationship as colleagues. The relationship between leaders and employees is a bit complicated."
"Complicated? Why is it complicated?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.
"Jiang Lin'er was able to become a reporter mainly because of the promotion of Caring. It can be said that Caring is Jiang Lin'er's job. Logically speaking, Jiang Lin'er should be very grateful for Caring."
"Isn't that the truth?"
"No, Jiang Lin'er is indeed very grateful for the concern, but Caring's attitude towards Jiang Lin'er is very bad, because before Jiang Lin'er was promoted, she had no experience and only some theoretical knowledge. Therefore,
In the beginning, she often made mistakes at work, and naturally, she was often scolded. According to their colleagues, Jiang Liner was the one who was scolded the most and the most harshly in their department for four years.
Before, the two people who were promoted together with Jiang Lin'er were the last to resign and engage in other industries. One of them committed suicide by jumping off a building. Jiang Lin'er is the only one who has persisted until now. It can be said that Jiang Lin'er
Jiang Lin'er's endurance is really strong. For this, almost everyone admires Jiang Lin'er." Luo Jiayan said slowly.
"Someone committed suicide by jumping off a building? What happened?" Xu Lang noticed a detail in what Luo Jiayan just said and asked.
"Oh, that was two years ago. He was a man named Meng Bufan. He was two years older than Jiang Lin'er. If he were still alive now, he would be exactly thirty years old. Two years ago, because he was in a news
He made a mistake, and after being scolded by Concern for a while, he became very depressed. A week later, he was scolded again because of another news. The next day, he jumped from the upstairs of his house and committed suicide. This incident,
It also caused some sensation at the time, but because he was a reporter before and offended many people for the news, no one paid much attention to this matter and it just passed by." Luo Jiayan explained.
Hearing this, Xu Lang silently remembered the name Meng Bufan, and then asked, "Are there any other useful clues?"
"have."
"What?"
"On the 10th, Carnegie scolded Jiang Liner again in the office. At that time, the scolding was very unpleasant and many colleagues heard it."
"Why are you scolding Jiang Lin'er?"
"Because of the last Zou Renjiang case, Jiang Lin'er was the first reporter to rush to the scene. She originally had a great advantage in getting the news. However, something happened later and the news was snatched by others.
Let’s go. Because of this incident, Jiang Lin’er was scolded by Care several times. This time, Jiang Lin’er was scolded the worst.”
"No. 10? What date did you lose contact with when you said you were concerned?" Xu Lang asked.
"Number 11."
"The second day after the conflict." Xu Lang muttered to himself.
"Brother Lang? Do you suspect that Jiang Lin'er killed Caring?" Luo Jiayan asked curiously.
Xu Lang shook his head, said nothing, and fell into deep thought.
