While Fan Yang was busy collecting evidence, Xu Lang was thinking about one thing.
The palm print found at the scene was left by a woman. The palm print was not very clear. There was dust on it and some blood stains. However, these things were integrated with the rusty iron door itself. In addition, these two
God, there are so many people coming in and out here, it is difficult to determine who left this palm print, but Xu Lang's intuition told him that this palm print was probably left by Jiang Lin'er.
If this palm print was really left by Jiang Lin'er, then why did she leave this palm print at that time?
Xu Lang remembered that when he first came to the crime scene, he found that the door lock was broken. If no one blocked the door from the stairwell, the door would be easily pushed open. Moreover, under normal circumstances,
When people push the door, they always place it near their chest. However, the place where the palm print appears is very short, much like it was left when a person was lying on the ground and struggling to reach up. This made Xu Lang even more worried.
I think this palm print was left by Jiang Lin'er.
If the palm print was left by Jiang Lin'er lying on the ground, does that mean that besides Caring and Jiang Lin'er, there was a third person at the scene? So, who is this person?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang began to scan around the door carefully, hoping to find something. However, the scene of the murder was on the rooftop, and the only way to enter the rooftop was through this door. There was a mess near the door, all kinds of incomplete.
The footprints covered in layers have nothing of value at all.
"Eh..."
At this moment, Xu Lang suddenly let out a sigh and found that on the small steps at the door, there were several star-shaped spots, which were dark brown. Xu Lang frowned, took a closer look, and stretched out his hand to touch
After touching it, I found that it was not a stain, but a trace left after the blood dried. However, the blood stain was very small, and the surrounding environment was very poor, so it would be difficult to find it if you did not observe carefully.
Fan Yang, who had just finished collecting evidence, heard Xu Lang's voice and looked at Xu Lang subconsciously. Then, he followed Xu Lang's line of sight and saw those spots.
"What is this?" Fan Yang asked with some uncertainty.
"It should be blood stains. Take some and take them back for identification." Xu Lang said.
Fan Yang nodded, took out his tools, carefully removed the spots, put them into time, and sealed them up.
After doing all this, Xu Lang and Fan Yang carefully checked near the door and found nothing of value.
No clues were found at the door, so Xu Lang and Fan Yang investigated the crime scene again, but still found no new clues.
Since no new clues were found, Xu Lang stopped doing useless work. He looked at Fan Yang and asked, "Have you collected the fingerprints on the handrails of the stairwell?"
Fan Yang nodded and said: "Collected it, it was left by a woman."
Xu Lang nodded and said nothing more. The two of them walked out of the rooftop together and walked downstairs.
When they went downstairs, Xu Lang and the others happened to meet the panting Wang Guofu and others.
"How are the test results?" Xu Lang asked.
Wang Guofu gasped and said: "We all checked and found that there are no other exits except the front door and the back door."
"No?"
After learning this result, Xu Lang frowned subconsciously. After Wang Guofu saw it, he stopped talking.
At this moment, Xu Lang saw the cleaning lady he had seen when climbing the stairs just now, and found that she was pushing a cleaning cart, coming out of an office and walking towards them.
Seeing the cleaning staff and the cleaning cart she was pushing, Xu Lang suddenly had an idea and seemed to have thought of something.
Xu Lang walked straight to the cleaning staff and blocked her way.
"I'm a police officer. I'll take a few minutes to ask you about something."
The cleaner was a middle-aged woman in her forties, slightly fat, average-looking, and with bad skin. Looking at Xu Lang and others blocking her way, the woman seemed a little nervous, but it was quite natural.
"What do you want to know?"
"What time do you come to work and clean the house every day?" Xu Lang asked.
The woman was stunned. She thought Xu Lang was going to ask about the two recent murders. In the past two days, police officers had asked her related questions. But she didn't know anything, so she couldn't provide anything useful.
However, she did not expect that Xu Lang would ask about this.
Not only did the woman feel a little baffled, but Wang Guofu and the others were also baffled. Fan Yang, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something when she saw the cleaning staff and the cleaning truck.
Although the woman felt strange, she still said: "Every morning at 6:30, I go to the unit and start cleaning. After the office area is cleaned, it's almost time for them to go to work. What's wrong? Why do you ask this?"
"Then when you clean, will you take out the garbage from the previous night?" Xu Lang asked again.
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, we usually get off work when the time comes, and they work very late every day. Naturally, I can't work overtime with them, and no one pays me overtime pay. So, after we get there,
We get off work, and the garbage they leave behind at night will be taken away when we come early the next morning."
"Is the garbage placed in this car?" Xu Lang asked, pointing to the cleaning truck next to him.
The woman nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then yesterday
Did you notice anything wrong this morning? Like some heavy garbage?"
The woman thought for a while and said: "No, I didn't find anything wrong. They are all in the news. What kind of heavy garbage can there be? At most, it's just some discarded paper."
Hearing what the woman said, Xu Lang frowned immediately.
Could it be that I guessed wrong that Jiang Lin'er and the others didn't hide in the cleaning car and go out?
"Are you the only one in charge of cleaning?" Xu Lang asked.
The woman shook her head and said, "No, there are two more people, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li."
"Where are they now?"
"Xiao Li is cleaning downstairs."
"What about Xiao Wang?" Xu Lang asked hurriedly.
Hearing Xu Lang's question, the woman frowned and showed a puzzled expression, and said, "Yes, where is Xiao Wang? I saw him yesterday, but I didn't see him today."
"Xiao Wang didn't come to work today?" Xu Lang asked in surprise.
"It should be."
Xu Lang's face suddenly became solemn. He looked at the woman and asked, "Who handled the garbage on this floor yesterday?"
The woman thought for a while and said, "Xiao Wang, he is usually responsible for the garbage here."
"What is Xiao Wang's full name? Is he a boy or a girl? How old is he and what does he look like?" Xu Lang seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly.
"I don't know his specific name. I know his surname is Wang. He is a young man in his twenties. He is tall and strong. However, he usually doesn't talk much and is taciturn. He only knows how to work.
Work.”
"When did Xiao Wang come here to work?"
"It's been more than half a year," the woman said uncertainly.
"It's been more than half a year, and you still don't know his name." Xu Lang looked at the woman with some suspicion.
The woman scratched her head and said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Wang is an honest person, speaks very little, and also stutters a bit. I asked him, but he refused to tell me, so I stopped asking."
Xu Lang nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "How do you deal with the garbage you collect from here?"
"Go out the back door. There is a garbage dump not far away. We usually push the garbage over there," the woman said.
Next, Xu Lang asked the woman a few more questions, and the woman also said what she had to say.
After some questioning, Xu Lang stopped asking questions and turned his head to look at Wang Guofu.
Wang Guofu was not a fool. Although he didn't know what Xu Lang wanted to do at first, after listening to Xu Lang's question, he also understood the reason for Xu Lang's question. When he saw Xu Lang looking at him,
Wang Guofu immediately said: "I will take people to the garbage dump to check the situation."
After saying that, Wang Guofu took the elevator and left with his police officers. Only Xu Lang and Fan Yang were left at the scene.
Fan Yang looked at Xu Lang, who was frowning, and asked, "Do you suspect that Jiang Lin'er and the others escaped from the scene hiding in the cleaning car?"
Xu Lang nodded and said: "Since the office building has no other entrances and exits except the front door and the back door, and the surveillance cameras did not capture them leaving, and they were not at the scene, then they must have used some method to leave the scene.
, and the cleaning truck is the best disguise.”
After listening to Xu Lang's analysis, Fan Yang nodded in agreement.
"Then as long as we find this little king, we will know the truth." Fan Yang said excitedly.
Compared to Fan Yang's excitement, Xu Lang's expression became more solemn.
If everything is as I guessed, Jiang Liner and the others did hide in the cleaning car and leave, then what role did this Xiao Wang play in this? Was he completely unaware, an insider, or someone
What about the participants?
Thinking of the cleaning lady who just said that Xiao Wang did not come to work today and did not ask for leave, Xiao Wang should be an insider or a participant, but what kind of situation is it? Xu Lang doesn't know yet.
, he hoped it was the former.
Although the full name of Xiao Wang is not yet known, Xu Lang has a vague feeling that this Xiao Wang may not be that simple.
————
It’s useless to think too much, everything needs to be proven by actual actions.
After the two people were silent for a while, Xu Lang asked Fan Yang to take the collected palm prints and blood stains back for analysis first, and he wanted to check other conditions.
Fan Yang had no objection to this, so she took the toolbox and left.
After Fan Yang left, Xu Lang came to the office area of Life Daily.
The work area that used to be busy and tense, now, due to the murder of Caring and the disappearance of Jiang Lin'er, the atmosphere in the entire work area has dropped to freezing point, everyone is listless, and the atmosphere on site is lifeless.
When Xu Lang came to the office area, he found that everything on Jiang Liner's workstation was there and no one was cleaning it up.
Seeing Xu Lang coming, everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at Xu Lang. They knew that Xu Lang was definitely not here to chat, but to investigate the case.
"Officer Xu, have you found Jiang Lin'er?" A colleague who had the best relationship with Jiang Lin'er stood up and asked.
Xu Lang followed the voice and looked at the man. He was a boy, about twenty-five or six years old, average-looking, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he looked gentle.
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "I will tell you when I find it."
Xu Lang
The meaning is obvious. Jiang Lin'er is still missing and has not been found. When Xu Lang said this, the man seemed very disappointed. Judging from his expression, he should care about Jiang Lin'er very much. From the perspective of a person who has experienced it,
Look, this boy should like Jiang Lin'er, and may even be pursuing her, but whether the truth is like this, Xu Lang is not interested, at least, he is not interested now.
Xu Lang came to Jiang Liner's workstation and looked at it. Suddenly, Xu Lang saw a photo on the table.
It was normal to see a photo at the reporter's desk. However, what caught Xu Lang's attention was that the photo was incomplete. There was only half of the photo. The person in the photo was Jiang Lin'er. The person in the photo was Jiang Lin'er.
She is very young, even very immature. This should be a photo of her when she was in school.
Jiang Lin'er was very beautiful when she was young, her whole body was filled with youthful atmosphere, and she smiled very happily.
Xu Lang picked up the photo and looked at it, and found that the photo had been torn in the middle. It was obvious that there were two people in this photo, at least two people. However, it is not yet known who the other person is, but
, Xu Lang could tell from the hand on Jiang Lin'er's shoulder that it should be a woman's hand.
Seeing this, Xu Lang narrowed his eyes.
Woman? Is it a best friend? Or a classmate? Or a relative?
Xu Lang looked at the photo for a long time, but still didn't see anything, so he turned his head, looked at a girl sitting at the workstation next to Jiang Lin'er and asked: "Have you seen this photo?
"
The woman looked at the photo in Xu Lang's hand and said, "I've seen it before. Xiao Jiang has been carrying this photo with him since he came here."
"Who is the other woman in the photo?" Xu Lang asked.
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know. When I first saw this photo, it looked like this."
Hearing this, Xu Lang frowned, turned his head and looked at the others. The others also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know directly, which made Xu Lang frown again.
He did not continue to ask, but collected the photos and prepared to take them back for investigation.
After collecting the photos, Xu Lang rummaged around at his workstation and found no other clues. All the clues and evidence related to Jiang Lin'er were taken away by the police yesterday. As for why this photo was taken away
What remains is unknown.
Seeing that there were no clues at Jiang Lin'er's workstation, Xu Lang turned around and went to the concerned office.
The office door was closed, so Xu Lang opened the door and walked in.
The office is very tidy, just like Caring's home. It can be seen that Caring is a person who cares about the details of life. He even has a certain degree of mysophobia.
There was a computer display on the desk. However, the computer host was taken away. There were many files on the desk. Xu Lang flipped through them casually. They were all written press releases. Xu Lang was not interested in these things.
, he walked behind the desk and looked at everything on the desk.
After glancing around, Xu Lang didn't see anything strange. Just when he was about to look at the bookshelf behind him, he suddenly stopped.
Xu Lang felt that something was missing on the table.
Xu Lang pinched his chin and looked at the desk, wondering what was missing on the desk.
After thinking for a while, Xu Lang still didn't realize what was missing, so he subconsciously raised his head and looked outside the office. He saw the group of reporters working, but occasionally he would raise his head and look towards himself.
When they looked around and realized that Xu Lang was looking at them, they quickly lowered their heads and continued working.
Xu Lang was not surprised by the curious and doubtful looks of these people. He was just wondering what was on the desk.
When Xu Lang looked around, he suddenly found that at many work stations, there was a table with their photos on it.
"Set the stage?"
Xu Lang murmured, and immediately he knew that there was something missing on his desk. Yes, it was a photo, a photo of concern.
Caring's office is very simple, with a desk, three sofas, and a bookshelf filled with books. Except for the first time, there are all the sundries related to his work. There seems to be no shortage of anything here, except for photos. Caring
photos.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang suddenly heard that when Luo Jiayan reported to him yesterday the investigation of the Guangan Family, Luo Jiayan said that nothing suspicious was found in the Guan Guan Family, but she always felt that something was missing. As for what was missing,
She couldn't tell what it was, but now that she thought about it, Luo Jiayan felt that something was missing, probably the photos she cared about.
However, this discovery made Xu Lang feel a little uncertain. If Caring was a woman, it would be abnormal to have no photos of him at home or at work. However, Caring was a man, and men don't like taking pictures so much, unless they are
The kind of person who is very narcissistic, likes to take selfies when they have nothing to do, and then post the selfies in the circle of friends. However, the times are different now. Taking pictures is a very simple thing. For many successful people, it is more or less
I will take a few photos, such as wedding photos.
Caring is married, and has been married twice. However, he has been divorced. There is no wedding photo on the table. At least there is a photo of himself. Even if there is no photo of himself, Xu Lang remembers that Caring has a fifteen-year-old
Daughter, there should be a photo of my daughter, but there isn’t. Why is that?
Is Caring really a person with a particularly strong career ambition? Is it so strong that he can ignore the existence of his family? Xu Lang thinks it is unlikely. At least, judging from the information currently available, Caring is not such a person.
