Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

Chapter 19 Murder in a daily rented villa 19

"What should we do now..." Chen Zeyang said anxiously: "Jian Ping is good at dressing up. He can completely change his appearance and leave Yue'an. When the time comes, we really won't be able to catch him!"

"Okay, there's no point in bothering, let's find a way." He Wei put all the information about the case on the table into a file bag, said "Find someone to help" and left.

The people in the third team were left confused. You look at me and I look at you.

Howie parked the car, lowered the passenger window and took a look. Bai Ji'an turned his back to him and supervised the work in front of the office.

"Ji'an."

Bai Ji'an turned around and saw that He Wei had already gotten out of the car, holding a thin brown paper bag in his hand.

"what happened?"

He Wei walked quickly towards Bai Ji'an. He went straight to the door and had no intention of stopping talking.

"Go in and talk."

After Bai Ji'an gave some instructions to the workers, he opened the door and entered the room. He Wei was standing in the middle of the hall waiting for him.

"What's the matter? Is there another case?"

"No." He Wei handed the bag to Bai Ji'an, "These are all the clues we have so far about the 9 Villa case. Take a look and think of any ways to find the murderer."

Bai Ji'an remembered that He Wei had already told him the DNA results. The suspect in the case is indeed Jian Ping. Since it was good to catch people like this, why did he suddenly ask him how to catch the murderer?

Bai Ji'an took out the information and photos from the bag and asked, "What trouble did you encounter?"

"I encountered a chameleon and couldn't find anyone at all."

Bai Ji'an stared at the screenshot of the video. This was the first time he saw with his own eyes the "slender man" mentioned by Yang Hongsen.

Bai Ji'an looked back at the workers working in front of the gate, and then said to He Wei: "Follow me."

He Wei followed Bai Ji'an and observed him. But with his insight alone, he was far from able to see any flowers from Bai Ji'an.

"Can you do anything?"

Bai Ji'an stuffed the information back into the bag and returned it to He Wei. Then he walked to the opposite side of the bedroom and opened the door, revealing a large study room inside. Except for the desk with its 120-degree obtuse angle in the middle, the three walls on the left, right, and back are covered with books.

He Wei has not liked reading since he was a child. For him, the biggest use of books is not to study, but to help him sleep.

"There are no windows in this house?"

"It's good. It saves me having to buy curtains." With that, Bai Ji'an walked to the bookshelf on the right and took out a book from the second shelf counting from the top.

Howie didn't read, but he was very familiar with this book.

"Old dream?"

Bai Ji'an nodded, "We can use it to lure Jian Ping out."

……

Seeing He Wei's wide eyes, Bai Ji'an expected that he had not discovered the role "Old Dreams" played in the case.

"You recognize the book cover, but you haven't read the content."

"You know this as well."

"There's no need to guess. Don't say [-] words. You can't even read [-] words."

After speaking, Bai Ji'an raised the book towards He Wei, with an excerpt from the book printed on the bottom.

"Twins are born with the same destiny. I am you and you are me."

He Wei frowned and said solemnly: "You mean that the real author of this book is Jian Ping."

"It seems that Captain He doesn't like reading or studying, but his brain is still good."

Hewei took "Old Dreams" and flipped through it quickly. He wanted to know what was written in it. It's a pity that he doesn't have the time to read books now.

"It tells the story of a pair of lonely twin sisters who rely on each other and support each other until they grow up and find their own destination. The story is very painful, but there is warmth in the ups and downs. Fortunately, the ending is good."

He Wei closed the book and was a little surprised, "According to you, the story in this has nothing to do with the case."

"I never said the story was related to the case, I just said that you can use this book to bring out the Jian Ping you can't find."

"How to do?"

Bai Ji'an leaned on the desk and hugged his chest, crossing his legs, "Listen to me and just do it."

"what are you going to do?"

Seeing that He Wei was a little nervous, Bai Ji'an smiled knowingly. He took out his phone and flipped through it for a while, then handed the phone to He Wei.

"A signing party?"

"As long as we follow the plan and realize this unfulfilled activity, the suspect you want will definitely appear."

Three days later, a huge billboard was hung on the main entrance of the busiest shopping plaza on Qianhe Street in Yue'an City. What was printed on it was none other than a photo of "Old Dreams" and its late author Lin Huimin.

According to Bai Ji'an's plan, after leaving the office, He Wei rushed back to the bureau to apply, and then immediately contacted the publishing house. He explained the situation to the relevant person in charge and asked the publishing house to cooperate with the police and turn the originally scheduled book signing into a commemorative event.

Right now, there are still three hours before the event starts, and the square is already crowded with people.

He Wei stood in front of the shopping mall with his chest folded, looking at the crowds of people coming and going in front of him, his face anxious.

"Why are there so many people? Is this book really so popular?"

Bai Ji'an stood side by side with He Wei and said, "Half of the people here are not book fans. Most of them are passing by to watch the excitement or deliberately watching the excitement."

"Then you still insist on doing it here."

"I can't help it. After all, this event has been decided when Lin Huimin was alive. A sudden change of location will make the target suspicious. If I run away then, I won't be the one who gets scolded."

He Wei said nothing, he looked around. For this plan, he specifically applied to the Forestry Bureau for help from the first and second teams. The shopping mall, event venue, and square were filled with plainclothes criminal police officers from all three detachments. Before leaving, he made a promise to his leader that he would only succeed and not fail.

But now when he arrived at the scene, he was a little doubtful.

"Are you sure? She would take risks in order to justify her work?"

If Jian Ping really came to the event according to Bai Ji'an's speculation, it would be impossible for her to do nothing and just take a look and then leave. But if she does it and causes a commotion, then she has chosen to reveal her identity, which is equivalent to calling the police to arrest her.

Even if the protagonist of this book is based on her and her deceased sister, it is unimaginable that the book could be more important than escaping.

"I'm sure." Bai Ji'an looked at the crowd in the square and said firmly: "Believe me, she will definitely come."

"I'm afraid she has figured out that this is a trap carefully designed for her."

"Even so, she will still come."

Hearing this, He Wei was startled. He turned his head and asked, "Do you know something that I don't know?"

He had no idea why Bai Ji'an was so confident about this event.

"Because you haven't read the book. After reading it, you will find that who is the author of the old dream is more important to her than escaping for her life."
