Special case investigation team V

Cheng Jin asked Xiao An to go back to the Public Security Bureau first.He and Yang Simi stayed to help - anyway, the next meeting was at night.

Aman, Mai Sumu's father, and four colleagues called by Aman, as well as Cheng Jin and Yang Simi, took Mai Sumu's face photo and the full-body photo taken by the Internet cafe's surveillance to ask the people around the Internet cafe. Had any of them noticed the boy that weekend half a year ago.

They were busy all afternoon and asked all the store owners or shop assistants on the street of the Internet cafe.

A clerk in a clothing store remembered Mai Sumu, but he didn't remember the person. He remembered Mai Sumu's coat.It can be seen from the video photos captured by the Internet cafe surveillance that Mai Sumu was wearing a large pullover coat printed with colorful geometric patterns that day. The patterns on the coat caught the attention of the clerk, so he took a few more glances .

"At that time, was he alone, or with others?"

"As if with someone else, he seemed to be talking to the person next to him."

"Do you remember what that person looked like?"

The clerk shook his head, "I just remember that I'm not tall, a little shorter than him." He pointed to Mai Sumu's photo and said.

"How short are you?"

"A little bit." The clerk gestured a distance of about three centimeters with his hand.

"man?"

"It should be. Wearing men's clothes."

"What kind of clothes?"

"Just ordinary dark clothes, I don't remember the specifics."

"Body shape, thin or strong?"

The clerk thought for a few seconds and said, "Not strong. I really don't have any impression."

"What about the appearance, does it look like a Han Chinese or another race?"

"I didn't see the face."

"Where's the hair?"

"Should be short."

"Curly or straight?"

The clerk looked bitter, "I really have no impression."

……

The harvest of the afternoon is basically like this: Mai Sumu may have had contact with a medium-sized man of about 170 centimeters before his disappearance.

Mai Sumu's father was very excited, thinking that if the investigation continued, someone would know what happened to his son, maybe they were not far from catching the real culprit!

Cheng Jin was not so optimistic. In his opinion, it was a miracle that someone still remembered Mai Sumu after half a year.

The inquiry work was trivial, but Yang Simi was not impatient. He had a large bag of dried fruit in his pocket——Cheng Jin bought it for him. He looked like he was out for fun. He was in a better mood than Yun after eating snacks and watching the excitement. The weather is still clear.

The others didn't know what he was here for, but when they noticed that Cheng Jin often looked at him, they all thought that maybe this person was very important to their investigation and played an indispensable role.

In fact, things are not as convoluted as everyone thinks.But because the place is not peaceful, Cheng Jin felt that it was necessary to look at Yang Simi, so he would naturally pay more attention to him, and even the usual requirements were relaxed, so he was afraid that if he was unhappy, he would be angry. Going to make trouble - not because he is afraid that he will encounter danger due to his own negligence, but because he is afraid that he will take the initiative to find danger while he is not paying attention.

Yang Simi noticed that Cheng Jin was using a strategy of "steady you first, and close this matter before you talk about it".He decided to try it out, and when he saw a stall selling zongzi on the side of the road, he tugged at Cheng Jin's sleeve.

Cheng Jin bought him two without saying a word.

Since it is really so easy to talk, then it must be pushed further.Yang Simi ate the zongzi and made a "menu" in his mind. He could try everything he had scruples about before.No, just try some of them, and you still have to pay attention to the scale, or in other words, you have to proceed step by step.Yang Simi raised the corner of his mouth, anyway, he still has a long life.

In the evening, Cheng Jin was going to meet the family members of other victims, so he asked Aman's "translator" to leave first, leaving other colleagues to continue to inquire about the nearby residents-contrary to the store's thinking, residents' homes are rarely home during the day, and everyone is generally at home at night of.

On the way to the agreed place, Aman said wearily: "If we had discovered those things last year, maybe Maisumu would not have died."

Who knows.Cheng Jin was silent.

Aman continued: "We really made a big mistake. At that time, we didn't think he was really missing, and we didn't know that he would die. After all, 16 years old is not a child anymore, so it is not so easy to have accidents. We think he Just ran out to play." He was depressed and blamed himself.

Cheng Jin still didn't speak.However, he thought, even if the Public Security Bureau was at fault, with so many people, it is not up to a young man like Oman to bear any responsibility. He is not a person who makes up his mind, but just obeys orders.But these are not good to tell Oman directly.

"Why did they go with that person? Even if he was young, lacked awareness of precautions, and was coaxed, why would other people go with the murderer?" Aman frowned, his face full of doubts and incomprehension.

The old man who was already unconscious was ignored by the victim first, but the other victim with a clear identity was a strong middle-aged man with rich social experience. Whether it was coercion or deception, it should not be easy to implement it on him. .The murderer was not tall and burly, even if the victim was accidentally caught by him, but as long as he fought hard, there should still be a chance of escape. How could he be killed and his body mutilated?

Cheng Jin said: "It is not yet certain that the man is the murderer, nor is it certain whether he has had contact with other victims."

Oman thought for a while, nodded, and added a bit of gloom to his face.

Cheng Jin and the others went to meet the old man's family first, and made an appointment to visit. When they arrived, they saw five members of the family at home. They were the old man's son, daughter-in-law, two grandsons and a granddaughter. They were the second son's family .This uncle has two sons, and he takes care of the second son's family.

The old man’s name is Buck, and he disappeared three months ago. He was lost. That night, his son was out and hadn’t come home yet. His daughter-in-law was cooking in the kitchen, and the children were doing their own things. They opened the door and went out by themselves, and then never came back. They found it in the middle of the night, but they couldn't find it, and called the police again, but they still couldn't find it.

The police checked the surveillance cameras on the road, and only saw the old man walk out of the residential area, onto the main road outside, and then went there, but they couldn't find it.I also drove all over the city looking for someone, but I couldn't find it.

The son said dullly: "He probably saw that I hadn't come home yet and wanted to pick me up, but he usually stopped at the crossroad ahead."

His father had run out twice before without being accompanied by anyone, but he was fine. Who knew that he was lost this time, and then...killed by someone.That murderer is really a beast, even such an old man will not be spared.

Cheng Jin said: "Where does he usually like to go? When you go out with him."

"Usually I take him around the neighborhood when I have time, because he listens to me the most." The son said, "We just walk around the neighborhood and talk to the neighbors, but my dad can't recognize anyone anymore. "

Cheng Jin nodded, "What didn't the neighbors see that day?"

A granddaughter said: "A neighbor uncle said that he saw my grandfather talking to a man on the side of the road. He thought the man was my father. He just glanced at it from a distance and didn't care..."

The son shook his head and said, "At that time, I hadn't come back at all."

Cheng Jin took a look at his son. He was tall and strong. If the neighbors saw a man of this size, he would be completely different from the man Mai Sumu had contacted before his disappearance.

Later, Cheng Jin and the others went to meet the neighbor. The neighbor said that he glanced at him from a distance. The man was half a head taller than Uncle Buck, and he felt like his son. He didn't think about it.

Buck's son also said that he was half a head taller than his father, and his father used to be taller, but he shrank a little as he got old.

Aman said: "I didn't expect that it was really not one person... Could it be that there were two murderers, a pair of partners?"

Buck's second son is 185, and the person they found in contact with Maisumu before is about 170. This height difference is a bit big, and it is unlikely that they are the same person.

Cheng Jin shook his head, "It's just contact, not necessarily the murderer." Maybe it's just a casual word of concern on the street. Cheng Jin himself will pay more attention to old people who behave unnaturally on the street, and will go to ask if necessary Let's look at the situation.

Aman sighed, "Whether it is or not, there is no way to find it." Because the witnesses did not see whether the other person had obvious characteristics, but most of them were very ordinary, and it was really difficult for people to remember them at a glance.

Then they went to meet the family members of another victim, Erken. The meeting place was near where he lived before his death. His ex-wife and his daughter came. His ex-wife was of Han nationality, and her daughter was very beautiful. Indistinct mixed race.

The ex-wife said: "I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know anything about him." They have been divorced for many years, and the lady has already had a new life of her own.

"I don't have much contact with him." The daughter whispered.After her parents divorced, she lived with her mother. She was greatly influenced by her mother and didn't like her biological father very much.

Erken's hometown is not in Yunshu, and he doesn't have a close relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, and he doesn't have many friends. As a result, he disappeared in November last year, and it was only in December that someone noticed that he seemed to have not appeared for a while. Wait for the police to come and investigate At that time, no one even knew the exact day when he disappeared, and he could only make a rough guess based on his family's calendar.

Cheng Jin said: "Haven't you heard of something?" After all, they still live in the same city and have common acquaintances, so it's hard to guarantee that those people will pass on something.

The daughter shook her head, she was a junior, separated from her father's interpersonal network by a layer.

The ex-wife hesitated a little.

Cheng Jin immediately said: "If you've heard something, just say it, it might be useful."

"I heard that he seems to have a girlfriend." The ex-wife said, "I don't know more."

In recent years, although Erken has not been married, he has had some girlfriends.

Cheng Jin looked at Aman, who shook his head slightly.Cheng Jin asked his ex-wife for details, which friend told him that Erken had a girlfriend.

The ex-wife called to ask her friend on the spot, and the other party said that he had seen Erken eating alone with a woman.

Even if you are eating alone, it is not necessarily your girlfriend, it is possible that you are talking about things with acquaintances or friends.

Later, after saying goodbye to his ex-wife and daughter, Aman said: "We didn't find out that he had a girlfriend."

"Where's your female friend?"

"……uncertain."

"Let's check again."

"it is good."
