Compared with the police handling cases in the past, now is the era of technology, and surveillance is a good thing in many cases.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Ding Haoqiong and Hong Bin finally completed their questioning. Unfortunately, except for Chen Dongdong, the other so-called witnesses did not provide many useful clues at all, which made everyone feel that the case was a bit difficult.
Although Ding Haoqiong and the others gained nothing from questioning the witnesses, the comrades responsible for checking and monitoring did get some clues.
Around 8:30 p.m., a burly man appeared on Changle Street holding an umbrella and walked from Changle Street east to Changle Street west. He seemed to have made an appointment with someone.
Finally, the burly man stopped in front of a coffee shop 500 meters away from the crime scene. At the same time, another man also appeared in front of the coffee shop holding an umbrella. The two men were about five meters apart.
Because of the heavy rain, the surveillance probe was obscured by the rain. It was impossible to see the other man's face clearly. Moreover, the other man's back was turned to the surveillance probe.
After the two people met, they seemed to chat for a few words, then threw away their umbrellas and started fighting.
The burly man took the lead and stepped forward with his left foot. He leaned forward slightly and made fists with both hands. Then, the man took a big step forward with his left foot and kicked the ground with his right foot, splashing up a curtain of water and heading straight towards
The man opposite ran away wildly, and the other man also made the same move.
The two men rushed out and collided with each other within a second. Then, each raised his hand and attacked the other's face, chest, and waist.
Ding Haoqiong frowned when he saw this scene. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the moves of both parties were somewhat familiar.
"This seems to be military style boxing." Hong Bin stood aside, watching the surveillance video, and said while touching his chin with one hand.
"Military Boxing?"
Ding Haoqiong was slightly stunned at first, and then he thought of something.
"Stop a moment and zoom in,"
Following Ding Haoqiong's words, the police officer in charge of the video quickly paused the picture. It happened that the picture was of two people facing the camera. The picture was enlarged. Because of the pixels, the picture became increasingly blurry. However, the two men's
The face became increasingly clear.
"Ah? Isn't this Officer Lai Pi Lai of your CSY?" Hong Bin said in surprise.
After saying this, Hong Bin turned his head and looked at Ding Haoqiong.
Ding Haoqiong stared at the blurry face on the screen, his expression extremely gloomy and solemn.
Just now, when Hong Bin said that the moves used by the two men were military fists, he guessed that the person fighting the burly man might be Lai Pi. Unexpectedly, he guessed right.
"Why did Lai Pi appear here?" Ding Haoqiong looked at the still picture and muttered to himself.
Hong Bin looked at Ding Haoqiong and then at the surveillance screen with a strange expression.
Just now, he thought he had seen it wrong, but after seeing the change in Ding Haoqiong's expression, he knew he had seen it right. Originally, he thought Lai Pi appeared on some mission, but now,
Hearing Ding Haoqiong's muttering to himself, he realized something was wrong. Lai Pi's appearance might not be that simple.
"continue."
Ding Haoqiong said something to the police officer.
The video started playing again. The two people were fighting back and forth in the rain. Both hands were very ruthless. Moreover, they attacked the weak points of the human body and the angles of the attacks were very tricky.
The two people started fighting without saying a word, and a full three minutes passed. Both sides were injured and their physical strength was exhausted. The scene was not a ring, and they were not playing a game. Judging from the ruthlessness of their attacks, they both
I want to knock the opponent down in the shortest possible time.
At this time, the two people each punched the other person's face, and each punched the other person's waist. Then, they raised their feet and exchanged kicks toward the other person's chest. Both parties fell back.
A few steps, separated temporarily.
After this separation, the two sides did not fight again, but looked at each other warily.
Ding Haoqiong and others who saw this scene thought that the two sides would continue to fight. However, the facts once again exceeded their expectations. The two sides did not start fighting, but exchanged a few words.
Not sure what the burly man said, Lai Pi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the burly man and nodded. Then, he turned around, picked up the discarded umbrella, and left.
After seeing Lai Pi walking away, the burly man turned around, picked up his umbrella, and walked in the direction he came from.
The burly man only walked less than 400 meters. Suddenly, a person rushed out from behind him at a very fast speed. When the burly man noticed something was wrong and was about to turn around, the other person was already close and hit the burly man hard.
The burly man staggered due to the impact and took more than a dozen steps back before he could regain his balance. He looked at the other person and stretched out a finger, as if he wanted to say something.
Soon, the burly man fell down and threw the umbrella in his hand aside. The man who suddenly rushed out did not even look at the burly man and walked straight forward. When passing by the burly man, he turned slightly.
He raised his head, glanced condescendingly at the burly man, then dropped something and left.
"stop."
Ding Haoqiong shouted loudly.
The picture paused again. Ding Haoqiong looked at the still picture, his pupils narrowed. His attention was not on the burly man who fell to the ground, but on the third person who suddenly appeared.
The appearance of the third party was too sudden and too fast.
The burly man was not given time to react. After just one confrontation, the burly man was stabbed in the back. The third party seemed not to care at all about the burly man's death. He just glanced at the burly man before leaving and turned around.
Looking from the direction of his head, he saw that this was a man, but the man's appearance could not be clearly seen.
"Is this person Lai Pi?" Hong Bin asked tentatively.
Ding Haoqiong pursed his lips and said nothing.
His intuition told him that this third person who suddenly appeared was not Lai Pi, because from the scene just now, it can be seen that Lai Pi and the burly man are equally skilled. When Lai Pi walked, he was limping.
The crooked person was obviously seriously injured, and the burly man was in a similar situation. The sudden appearance of the third person showed a speed and strength that an injured person could not explode at all.
"Go on."
The surveillance screen continued to play again. After the third person dropped something, he strode away and quickly disappeared from the surveillance screen.
Not long after the third party left, Lai Pi appeared in the surveillance screen again. He came to the burly man, checked the situation, took something from the man's pocket, and then turned around and left. At this time
, the burly man was dead.
After Lai Pi left, about ten minutes later, Chen Dongdong staggered into the screen, and then saw the body of the burly man.
After Chen Dongdong saw the body, he was stunned for a moment, then walked over and kicked the other person. When he found that the burly man did not move, he bent down to help the other person. However, as soon as his hand touched the other person, he stopped suddenly, and then
, he stretched out his hand and put it under the other person's nose, as if to sniff.
While breathing, Chen Dongdong seemed to know that the other party was dead. He quickly stood up, took a few steps back, and looked around in panic, as if he was looking for something. Then, he quickly left, but while walking
After a few steps, he stopped again, turned his head and looked at the burly man lying on the ground. Then, he raised his head and saw the surveillance probe. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone, as if he was preparing to make a call.
After talking on the phone for less than a minute, he hung up the phone, looked at the burly man for a while, and then left quickly.
After Chen Dongdong left, several more people passed by and saw the burly man lying on the ground. However, they did not dare to approach him. Instead, they walked around the burly man and left in a hurry.
About twenty minutes later, a police car appeared, and immediately, the police officers from the Criminal Investigation Detachment appeared on the surveillance screen.
After watching the entire surveillance video, Ding Haoqiong's face looked gloomy and scary.
Since the burly man appeared, a total of three people have come into contact with him. One is Lai Pi, whom they are familiar with. The second is the man who suddenly appears and attacks and kills the burly man. The third is the reporter Chen Dongdong. In addition,
Apart from that, no one else came into contact with the deceased.
Although the surveillance picture is not very clear, it can be seen that the person who killed the burly man was the man who suddenly appeared. However, it can only be determined that the other person is a man, about 1.8 meters tall and of medium build. Other than that,
Except, there are no other clues.
Ding Haoqiong frowned, he now had several questions.
First, why did Lai Pi fight with the burly man? Do they know each other? What was the motive that led to their desperate fight?
Second, what is the identity of the burly man?
Third, who is the man who suddenly appears? Why did he kill the burly man after the burly man fought with Lai Pi?
Fourth, after the burly man fell to the ground, Lai Pi came back, which means that he knew about the attack on the burly man, or that the man was with Lai Pi and he took it from the burly man's pocket.
Something, according to the video surveillance, should be something similar to a USB flash drive. Why did Lai Pi take the USB flash drive? Is there something in the USB flash drive?
Fifth, what is the relationship between the murderer who attacked the burly man and Lai Pi?
Sixth, where is Lai Pi now?
If you have questions, you need to find answers, and no matter which one it is, now, the first thing to figure out is the identity of the burly man, why Lai Pi appeared in Chengnan District, and of course, to find the murderer who attacked the burly man.
"Have you found the whereabouts of the murderer who attacked the burly man?" Ding Haoqiong asked.
The police officer shook his head and said: "After he left the scene, he turned directly into an alley. There was no surveillance camera in there and he lost his whereabouts."
Ding Haoqiong's frown became more intense. Obviously, the other party had a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance. From the moment he appeared to the time he killed the burly man and left, the police did not see his identity clearly.
It was raining heavily when the crime occurred, so it was impossible to leave fingerprints, shoe prints and other traces at the scene. Even if there were any, they would have been washed away by the rain.
Although there are clues, it may not be that simple to solve this case in a short time.
Although the murder weapon was found at the scene, it was very ordinary, just a fruit knife. Although fingerprints were found on the fruit knife, the fingerprints were washed away by rain, and the fingerprints on it were no longer valuable for identification and comparison.
So, the only clue is completely gone here.
Thinking of this, Ding Haoqiong let out a long sigh.
"Why......"
It seems that everything has to start with the identity of the deceased.
————
the next day.
There is no heavy rain outside
Without any intention of stopping, the rain became heavier and heavier. The heavy rain gathered into a muddy stream on the street. The crime scene had already been completely destroyed by the rain. There was nothing the police could do about this result.
Ding Haoqiong, who stayed up most of the night, slept on a chair in the lounge for a few hours.
He was too tired. Since the 11.28 shooting incident, he had shouldered all the burdens of CSY alone. Especially after Xu Lang and Lai Pi disappeared, he was even more stressed and had not rested well during this period. Now
, another murder occurred. Although he didn't want to rest, his body couldn't bear it, so he slept in the lounge for less than four hours.
After waking up, he went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. He was still dazed and confused at first, but under the stimulation of the cold water, he suddenly woke up.
When Ding Haoqiong simply washed up and came to the office area, Fan Yang told him good news.
The identity of the deceased was revealed.
Zheng Yuanzhou, male, 33 years old, from Binhai City, graduated from high school, served in the military, lived in a special force of a certain army for five years, retired from the army at the age of 26, returned to Binhai City, and applied for a new identity
certificate, and then there is no file information related to it.
The identity of the deceased was found by forensic doctor Qin Mingyue after collecting the fingerprints of the deceased and giving them to Fan Yang for comparison in the fingerprint archives.
Starting a few years ago, citizens of China have to take their fingerprints when applying for ID cards and then archive them. Zheng Yuanzhou also left his fingerprints when applying for a new ID card after he retired from the army.
Zheng Yuanzhou's body was well preserved and was discovered by the police shortly after his murder, so fingerprints were easily collected.
After learning the identity of the deceased, Ding Haoqiong suddenly became excited. Now that he knew the identity of the deceased, it would be much easier to investigate.
"Which army did Zheng Yuanzhou serve in?" Ding Haoqiong asked.
Fan Yang shook his head and said: "We haven't found any relevant information about the army yet. You need to apply to get it."
Ding Haoqiong nodded and was not surprised by this. Generally, soldiers serve as compulsory soldiers for the first two years. After the completion of their compulsory service, they will decide whether to retire or stay in the army based on their performance in the army. The information of these conscripts
, it is actually easy to check, but for people like Lai Pi or Zheng Yuanzhou who serve in the special forces, their information is encrypted. After all, special forces are different from ordinary soldiers. Special forces are very important to a country.
, what it means is self-evident, and if the police want to access their files, they need to apply.
Thinking of this, Ding Haoqiong said: "I'll call the Tian Bureau and ask him to find someone from the army."
Fan Yang nodded and said nothing.
Ding Haoqiong didn't hesitate and dialed the Tian Bureau directly and briefly explained the situation here. Tian Yongchun agreed without saying anything.
When hanging up the phone, Tian Yongchun told Ding Haoqiong that Lai Pi's detailed information had been sent to CSY.
After Ding Haoqiong learned about it, he immediately became interested. After hanging up the phone, he asked about the progress of Zheng Yuanzhou's investigation. After learning that there was no new progress yet, he left the Chengnan Criminal Investigation Detachment.
, drove back to CSY.
After returning to CSY, Ding Haoqiong immediately went to his office and obtained the detailed information about Lai Pi sent by Tian Yongchun.
There is a lot of information about Lai Pi and it is very detailed. Many things from his birth to the present have been recorded, including his family situation, his work history, and of course, which army Lai Pi served in.
Lai Pi, male, 33 years old, widowed, from Qianshan City, graduated from university, served in the Langya Special Forces of the Lanzhou Military Region, retired from the army at the age of 28, after being discharged from the army, returned to Qianshan City and entered the public security system.
Because he performed well in the army and was a master of tracking and investigation, Lai Pi used his professional skills to solve many cases while working in the public security system. After the establishment of CSY this year, he came to work in S City.
After seeing this file information, Ding Haoqiong narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
Lai Pi and Zheng Yuanzhou are the same age. They both served in the military and both retired from the special forces. Now, Zheng Yuanzhou is dead and has a lot to do with Lai Pi. This is definitely not a coincidence. I want to find out the relationship between Lai Pi and Zheng Yuanzhou.
relationship, we also need to get information about Zheng Yuanzhou's service in the army, so that we can confirm some things.
However, what caught Ding Haoqiong's attention was actually a small detail, that is, Lai Pi was once married, but his wife passed away.
According to the data, Lai Pi got married just when he entered the special forces, and the time when his wife died happened to be before he retired from the army. According to the data, a large part of the reason for Lai Pi's discharge from the army was related to his wife.
related to death.
Lai Pi's wife is Sun Xuelan, a native of S City. She is one year younger than Lai Pi. They were college sweethearts. Lai Pi went to serve in the army after graduating from college, while Sun Xuelan worked in Qianshan City. She is a
Forensic medicine.
‘Forensic doctor’, ‘from S city’, ‘surnamed Sun’
When looking at these keywords, Ding Haoqiong's eyelids began to tremble.
Ding Haoqiong and the others know Lai Pi's true age, and Lai Pi has been married before, which is not surprising. However, his wife's surname is Sun, she is a forensic doctor, and she is from S City. These things Lai Pi
I never said that, is this a coincidence?
Ding Haoqiong shook his head, he had a bad premonition.
