Chapter 76
Cheng Xiaojing saw that the little girl's words were not too flickering or ambiguous, so she probably wasn't lying.
"I heard that Xiao Min changed shift today, what's the matter?" Cheng Xiaojing asked as if chatting.
The little girl took another look at him, her expression was a little awkward, and she said, "I'm also a little strange. Sister Xiao never changes shifts like this. I haven't heard anything about her."
Cheng Xiaojing muttered.
"Maybe something happened at home."
The little girl was a little worried when she heard this.
"That's right, her house is so close, if there is something to do at home, I have to rush over to have a look."
Cheng Xiaojing remembered the phone call Xiao Xiaotian made yesterday afternoon.I wondered if it was the phone call that made Xiao Min change shifts temporarily?
"When did Xiao Min propose to change shift?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.
The little girl recalled, and said: "Last night, Sister Xiao asked me what procedures are required for non-sick leave shifts, and I told her that she only needs to report to the manager. I wonder if something happened to her. As a result, she came back too late to set up a stall at night, and went out very early in the morning. I didn't touch it."
Seeing her regretful expression, Cheng Xiaojing comforted: "When the matter is settled, I should be back."
The irritability of young people always comes and goes quickly.
After Cheng Xiaojing spoke softly and comforted her, the little girl swept away her sorrow and turned her attention to Cheng Xiaojing.Cheng Xiaojing leaned against the cash register, smiling and listening, and when the door of the manager's room opened, he suddenly stood up straight.
The little girl who was chattering suddenly noticed the policeman who came out of the manager's office.At this moment, he suddenly stopped, probably because he finally remembered something, and said, "Don't tell the police what I told you, I'm afraid of trouble."
Cheng Xiaojing smiled at her knowingly, and said, "If you, Sister Xiao, are fine, I won't find you. The police uncle is usually very busy, so he doesn't have so much time to strike up a conversation with the little girl."
The little girl blushed.
As soon as Chen Yifan went out, he was about to call Cheng Xiaojing, but when he raised his eyes, he saw someone walking towards him.
He put away his mobile phone and greeted him, "Lawyer Cheng's ability to control time is really amazing."
The corners of Cheng Xiaojing's eyes floated behind him, and he said, "I'm waiting for you."
Chen Yifan smiled and waited for him to follow, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Have you gained anything?"
"Yes," Cheng Xiaojing said, "but I want to hear from you first."
Chen Yifan looked around and said, "Let's talk about it later."
As soon as the two of them left the department store building, Chen Yifan hid aside and made a phone call.Cheng Xiaojing very consciously followed behind him to watch out for him, and at the same time listened to him talking to the other party with his own voice pressed down.
Chen Yifan seemed to be very concerned about Xiao Min's whereabouts, and emphasized several times on the phone that he must find out where he was.The person on the other side of the phone argued for a few words at first, but finally compromised under his tough attitude.
Seeing Chen Yifan hang up the phone contentedly, Cheng Xiaojing said, "You have been in the manager's office for a long time, do you have any clues?"
Chen Yifan moved his mouth, looking a bit speechless.
Cheng Xiaojing simply added a sentence.
"Pick the key points and make a long story short."
Chen Yifan let out a long sigh and asked a redundant question.
"You really want to know?"
Chen Yifan's keen nerves were aroused by his rhetorical question.He looked at Chen Yifan meaningfully, and after confirming that he should not say anything that would make people feel bad, he said: "If you find it inconvenient, don't say it."
Chen Yifan was different from his usual obedient appearance of accepting good offers, he sighed briefly, and said solemnly: "You guessed it right, it's not convenient to say."
Cheng Xiaojing pursed his lips and looked at Chen Yifan.
Chen Yifan also looked at him, and after a while he couldn't hold back anymore.
"You just follow my will and express your opinion to me. I must say it." Chen Yifan squinted at him, "I don't believe it. A barrister like you still doesn't understand the confidentiality system."
Cheng Xiaojing followed behind him without saying a word, the two were one in front of the other.
Chen Yifan put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking chic and casual.Cheng Xiaojing is quiet and introverted, but relatively speaking, he looks a bit gloomy.
"On the day Xu Changshan's accident happened, Xiao Min's alibi was invalidated." Chen Yifan said in a low voice, "The manager showed me Xiao Min's application for shift change, which said sick leave application."
"In Xu Changshan's case before, Xiao Min's alibi was that she applied for a shift transfer that day, and she also used sick leave." Chen Yifan murmured: "Although there are many reasons for taking leave to change shifts because of illness, the manager told me that day In fact, Xiao Min didn't change shifts."
Cheng Xiaojing pondered for a while, and concluded: "So, the shift change application provided to the police that day was actually a fake. Xiao Min's shift change application the day before the incident was not implemented. On the day Xu Changshan died, Xiao Min really changed shift and rested. "
Chen Yifan nodded.
"I called the bureau just now, and they immediately went to find Xiao Min herself. Since she has no alibi, it is very likely that she is the prisoner."
Cheng Xiaojing remained silent. Indeed, according to the evidence Chen Yifan has now, Xiao Min's problem is indeed serious.But these alone cannot prove that Xiao Min is the murderer.
He even felt that the possibility of Xiao Min killing Xu Changshan was still very small.
"But didn't Xu Changshan disappear for a day and was tortured for a whole day before he was killed?" Cheng Xiaojing asked, "Xiao Min has that ability to do this?"
Chen Yifan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xu Changshan's body was found in his own car. During this period, the car had been parked under this building. Surveillance shows that the deceased's car was found before the incident. One day, the deceased parked in the parking space by himself. Later, someone confirmed that Xu Changshan came to work normally the next day. Xu Changshan had an apartment in the urban area. Although he was single, he never stayed overnight at his work place except for work. His family The community where he lives did indeed photograph him going home. Then whose car drove him home that day, and who drove him to work?"
"Didn't the surveillance capture it?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.
"There was indeed a car passing by at the same time as Xu Changshan, but the place where Xu Changshan got off was chosen too well. I didn't see what car he got off from at all." Chen Yifan said, "And this is incredible. There are too many clues. When the sub-bureau handed me the information, I was dumbfounded."
"What do you mean by many clues?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.
Chen Yifan then repeated with Cheng Xiaojing all the relevant clues mentioned to Lan He and the others the day before.
After Cheng Xiaojing listened carefully, he understood what happened to Chen Yifan's inexplicable expression before.
Chen Yifan sighed, and said, "If this wasn't an accidental death, but someone planned it, I really can't believe that anyone can do this."
Cheng Xiaojing casually sat down beside them as they passed by.Chen Yifan took a few steps forward, turned around and was about to talk to Cheng Xiaojing, seeing that he didn't follow, he ran a few steps quickly, came back and sat down beside him.
"Do you think it's tricky?" Chen Yifan looked at Cheng Xiaojing who was lost in thought, and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Xiaojing's eyeballs were crooked, and he leaned back on the back of the chair.
"Let me think."
Prohibited items were found on Xu Changshan's body, and his body was tested for hallucinogen content, which proved that he had participated in illegal activities.This can indeed perfectly explain why he has such exaggerated abuse.
Many people will make unbelievable actions after absorbing high prices.In some collective activities, some people do often die.Moreover, there are several traces of sadism on Xu Changshan's body, and it doesn't look like he did it alone.
These are all guesses.And it seems that these three words do not prove that to be true.
——But if most of these are not facts, what are the facts?
Cheng Xiaojing suddenly remembered what the little girl at the cash register told him about Xiao Min - she said that Xiao Min never changed shifts, and she never went home.And tell her for sure that if Xiao Min returns home, she will definitely know.
No, exactly.Xiao Min should have never had a situation where she didn't go home at night, no matter how late she was, she would definitely go back to sleep.
That means that on the day of Xu Changshan's accident, even if Xiao Min's alibi was invalidated, she still had no possibility of killing someone—her working hours were too intensive, and even if she and her roommate staggered the time, she didn't have enough time to kill.
——Cheng Xiaojing thought of a possibility out of thin air, did Xiao Min have any accomplices?
"I don't think Xiao Min is the murderer." Cheng Xiaojing said.
Chen Yifan asked, "Why?"
Cheng Xiaojing succinctly narrated the deduction he had just made in his mind.
Chen Yifan said: "Although the time of Xu Changshan's death was judged to be at night, the cause of death was the violence during the torture. It may be that he died after a long period of beating caused massive intracranial hemorrhage. Xiao Min, who was supposed to go to work that day, did not Going to work, no one can be sure if there is any participation in the middle."
Cheng Xiaojing shook his head and said, "Impossible. Because Xu Changshan disappeared the day before his death. Except for the day Xu Changshan died, Xiao Min went to and from work on time every day. After work, he had to go to the night market to set up a stall. When he went back at night, his roommates knew about it." .Where's the time to tie up a man like Xu Changshan?"
Chen Yifan frowned and said in thought: "It makes sense..."
Cheng Xiaojing expressed his thoughts logically.
"Unless she has an accomplice."
Chen Yifan was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Xiao Min...has an accomplice? But according to the investigation data, she hasn't had any contact with outsiders for three years, and she hasn't even met her family members."
Cheng Xiaojing took a deep breath, and said: "If you are accomplices, then the conclusion you drew before that gathering people to take drugs and causing accidental death seems to make sense."
Chen Yifan rested his chin sadly and said, "But the problem is that there is no evidence."
No matter how reasonable the inference is, without key evidence, everything is empty talk.
Cheng Xiaojing looked at Chen Yifan with a smile, and said, "I'm just giving you a direction, and today's harvest is not bad. Isn't it?" After finishing speaking, he stood up and stretched a lot.
Stretching, all the muscles and bones of the whole body are immediately relaxed.Cheng Xiaojing tilted his head, and was about to admire Chen Yifan's distressed appearance, when he turned his eyes, a shadow appeared from the corner of his eyes.
He turned back immediately.Squinting to look at the tall building opposite.
"I heard that Xiao Min changed shift today, what's the matter?" Cheng Xiaojing asked as if chatting.
The little girl took another look at him, her expression was a little awkward, and she said, "I'm also a little strange. Sister Xiao never changes shifts like this. I haven't heard anything about her."
