Hunt down

"Deputy team! An aunt has come to our police station!" Li Fei ran into the monitoring room and grabbed Zhou Jiming's clothes and pulled them out.

Zhou Jiming was confused, "What aunt?"

"This aunt said she knew Fan Xiaofang and wanted to come and see her, hey, just come!"

Because Zhou Jiming didn't close his eyes all night, he was dragged in front of the aunt three or four times.

"Auntie, this is our deputy team. He is in charge of this case." Li Fei rubbed the seams of his trousers while talking, looking a little nervous.

"Mr. Police, I was watching the news yesterday and saw that child...that child..." Auntie was a little excited, she stepped forward to hold Zhou Jiming's hand, trembling uncontrollably.She was much shorter than Zhou Jiming, she couldn't stand still and almost fell into Zhou Jiming's arms.

Zhou Jiming quickly helped his aunt to sit down, and Li Fei quickly took a glass of water and handed it to his aunt.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"I wanted to go out to do some errands, but I saw my aunt walking around the gate of the police station by herself. I thought she was here to report the crime, so I went up and asked. But my aunt said that she came for Fan Xiaofang, I thought it would be better to hand it directly to you, the deputy team."

Li Fei said as if begging for compliments, Zhou Jiming reached out and patted his head, "Understood, go do your own thing."

Li Fei, who was patted on the head by the deputy team, skipped away as if he had received some reward.

"Don't worry about him, he just looks weird." Zhou Jiming explained that his aunt was staring at Li Fei strangely.Afterwards, he moved a slightly shorter stool and sat across from his aunt, who was slightly shorter than her. He looked up at her slightly.

"Auntie, is it convenient for you to tell me your personal information?" Zhou Jiming lowered his voice, appearing much gentler.

"I...my name is Wang Guifen, I... I sell Malatang near Xiaofang's house... I haven't seen her for a long time. I thought she went back to her hometown, Who knows, who knows..." Wang Guifen burst into tears as she spoke, "This girl is working hard, she gets off work very late every night, and she doesn't want to spend money at all. I can tell that she is taking care of me. I only come here to eat Malatang because of my business. Such a good girl, how can she be...what the hell...how can she be so cruel...you have to treat a girl like this girl!"

Zhou Jiming listened quietly to what Wang Guifen said, and didn't bother her.After she cried for a while, when she was tired from crying and talking, Zhou Jiming fetched her another glass of water and began to ask the questions he wanted to ask.

"Auntie, you said you haven't seen Fan Xiaofang for a long time, how long has it been?"

Wang Guifen sniffed, "Half, about half a month... The last time I saw her was on a rainy night half a month ago, Xiaofang came to my store in the rain, She said she was going to live at my house, and said that the gas in the house was broken, so she couldn't take a shower..." Wang Guifen suddenly seemed to remember something, "That's right! She seemed to be frightened by something that day, could it be Could it be that something actually happened that day!" Wang Guifen was about to stand up, she felt that she found out too late, and began to blame herself, "I should have asked more, Mr. Police, I should have asked more Asked! It’s all my fault, my fault!”

Zhou Jiming comforted Wang Guifen and sat back, whispering softly, "How can you be blamed, Auntie. You didn't kill the person. You are helping us now, helping Xiaofang. We have to try to find the real murderer. "Zhou Jiming saw that Wang Guifen's breathing was normal, and began to ask, "What else happened that night?"

"After that, I closed the store and took Xiaofang back to my house..."

"Have you found anyone suspicious on the road?"

Wang Guifen shook her head.

"Aren't you being followed?"

Wang Guifen still shook her head, "No, everything was the same after that, I don't know when Xiaofang left the next day... I haven't seen her since then... "

"Fan Xiaofang didn't return to her home for the second half month that night, so where did she live for the past half month... If she was indeed being followed by the murderer at that time, why didn't she call the police?" Zhou Jiming asked himself road.

"Oh, Mr. Police, you must help Xiaofang catch the person who killed her! I heard people say that her stomach was scratched, it's too miserable, too miserable! You must help the child! I Please, I beg you!"

As Wang Guifen said, she was about to kneel on the ground, and Zhou Jiming hurriedly supported her, "Auntie, even if you don't tell me, we must catch this person. We have worked hard today. You came here from Lixi District, sir. Far away, I believe that Fan Xiaofang will know about your heart and will thank you."

"I don't want any thanks, I just hope that Xiaofang can rest in peace!"

Wang Guifen lost her strength for a while, and sat there crying for a long time, making the atmosphere of the entire police hall more serious.The people in the police department take a lot of cases every year, and see a lot of dead people, so they are somewhat numb.But now Wang Guifen is here crying and talking about Fan Xiaofang's hardships. Everyone will listen to it when they come here, and even hard-hearted people will be touched, so everyone is more motivated.

After that, Fu Li sent Wang Guifen back to Lixi District, and took Chen Yu to visit the place where Fan Xiaofang lived.Liu Gongye was leading people to visit and inquire around there, and Fu Li took Chen Yu to study and observe, and brought along the monitoring on the side of the road.

"Since Wang Guifen said that Fan Xiaofang panicked and begged to live in her house on the day of the heavy rain half a month ago, it means that someone was chasing her that day, or sent her a similar life-threatening message, so Fan Xiaofang dared not go back alone. home. Or maybe that person is at her house." Fu Li said to Chen Yu in the passenger seat while driving.

"That is to say, in addition to the monitoring on the roadside, we also need to use the monitoring at the gate of Fan Xiaofang's residence." Chen Yu said.

"Well, I hope the monitoring is still there."

-

It was already around 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Fu Li and Chen Yu arrived at Qijing Street, Lixi District. Every household was blowing air conditioners in the house, and there were very few people outside.Liu Gongye was about to take his people away, and all the people who could ask here had already been asked, and just happened to meet Fu Li and the other three at the intersection.

"team leader."

"team leader."

"Well, Ji Ming has already called me and told me that I basically know everything about this place. You can visit here again."

"Captain, do you have any new discoveries?" Fu Li asked.

"There is no useful new discovery. Except that the landlord said that the deceased's rental house was entered by burglars a month ago, there is no other information. We are planning to investigate the deceased's credit card consumption records for the past half month, as well as call records. "

"Got it, we'll do some more finishing touches."

"Hard."

Liu Gongye looked at what Chen Yu wrote in the notebook again, and patted his head, "Young man, come on!"

Chen Yu pushed his eyes and nodded in response.

Before Liu Gongye left, he saluted Wang Guifen, and then withdrew with others.

This group of people came in a police car and wore police uniforms. Although they didn't ring the alarm bell, the uniforms were enough to attract the attention of people wandering under the sun.After this group of people left, two other handovers came, accompanied by a familiar proprietress of a Malatang shop. The group of gossiping people couldn't help but gathered around and asked Wang Guifen in one go.

Chen Yu wanted to help Wang Guifen avoid these people, but was stopped by Fu Li, "We still have business to do, so don't worry about it here."

"But, Miss Li." Chen Yu hesitated to speak.

"You need to know what you are here for." Fu Li's tone did not need to refute, so Chen Yu had no choice but to follow Fu Li away resentfully.

They didn't go to other places, they went directly to the community management office, and asked for the surveillance in front of Fan Xiaofang's residence and the intersection of Malatang shop.The surveillance is still there, but there is no video of the night of the rainstorm half a month ago. The supervisor said that because of the heavy rain that night, many surveillance cameras around were broken, so there is no surveillance video of the night of the rainstorm.

Almost as soon as the supervisor mentioned the monitoring situation, Fu Li took out her mobile phone.

"Chen Yu." She turned on the phone, located the current location, searched for nearby surveillance locations, and sent the location to Chen Yu. "You start looking here, I start looking here, we each look for half, to see which surveillance can be seen. Contact me when you are done looking, do you have any questions?"

"No...no..." Chen Yu hadn't realized the fact that the monitoring was gone, but Fu Li was already thinking about what to do next.By the time Chen Yu realized what he should do, Fu Li had disappeared.

"It's so fast..." Chen Yu sighed with emotion.

-

In the police station, Zhou Jiming stared at the surveillance video of various highway intersections leading to Qichuan City, and finally found Song Nai's car at an inconspicuous intersection toll booth.In order to find evidence that this person was not at the murder scene, he had been watching the surveillance for almost fifteen hours overnight.

Zhou Jiming wrote down the monitoring number and specific time, put the pen and paper aside, stood up and stretched, "I found it."

"Boom." Someone knocked on the door.

"Deputy team, you have found the information you asked to check."

"Bring it in!" Zhou Jiming yawned and said, "Your speed is good!"

"Hmph! Don't underestimate me, my belly is not for nothing." Li Huiyao said proudly touching his belly.

"Okay, my brother will treat you to a big meal some other day!"

"You said it! Don't go back on your word!"

"Don't regret it, don't regret it." Zhou Jiming pulled a few pieces of information that Li Huiyao held in his hand.

"But deputy team, don't tell me, this Mr. Song really has some background." Li Huiyao whispered, "I just said that he has an unusual temperament. It turns out that he was a young master from a rich family in the early years!"

"Oh?" Zhou Jiming looked down at Song Nai's information, "Song Nai, formerly known as Deng Ning, biological father Deng Anguo...Deng Anguo?" Zhou Jiming recalled this very familiar name.

"Yes, that's the chairman of the 'Chuyang Group' whose reputation was ruined and his wife and children divorced because of sexually assaulting female employees more than ten years ago!" The wife committed suicide, and the child was sent to the orphanage, and the child was only ten years old at that time...It's so pitiful..."

"He was born in Qichuan City..."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Zhou Jiming seemed to be recalling something, "Oh, nothing."

"He was in Qi Chuan when he was a child, and after he was sent to the orphanage, there were no records for a few years..."

While listening to Li Huiyao, Zhou Jiming flipped through the remaining documents one by one. Zhou Jiming caught a tainted record, "Has he ever been in prison?"

"Yeah, you can't see it. He was almost there. He was not sentenced to a severe sentence. He was imprisoned for more than a year, and then he was proved innocent by appeal and released."

"Isn't this nonsense? Why did you lock up people for no crime? What did the people who investigated the case do for food... What is the specific content of this case?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that gangsters fought with gangs and killed someone by mistake. I read the records that he turned himself in and admitted that he killed someone. He was caught without any trouble."

"He said, did those people believe it?"

"Ah, I believed it, and sentenced him to death."

"That's enough nonsense."

Zhou Jiming thought, he is a ten-year-old child, if he doesn't stay in the orphanage well, how can he hang out with gangsters, and what kind of gang... If he didn't kill someone, how could he turn himself in...

"Deputy team, after reading this information, do you think his suspicion is bigger or smaller?"

Zhou Jiming picked up the information and knocked on Li Huiyao's forehead, "Who told you that I suspect him, take a good look yourself!" After speaking, he pointed to the frame of the video, "He was not in the hotel at all that night, the suspicion of a ghost, It was cleaned up early!"
