track criminals

Chapter 8 Letters

They returned to the police station and saw the spectacle of a group of policemen surrounding a child.

"What happened? Whose kid?"

Judging by everyone's attention, I am afraid it is also related to the case under investigation.

The captain of the criminal police said: "Scatter, scatter, what does it look like to gather here, don't scare the children, it is enough for Xiao Liang and Dr. Jian to stay and talk." For children, women are not so easy to scare them.

Ying Shen and Shen Wenqin found out what had happened after asking the police who knew about it.The murderer sent the letter again, and asked the child to be the sender.

"Little friend, who asked you to send the letter to the police station? Can you describe his appearance?" Officer Liang asked gently.

"It's the big bear with balloons." The little girl about seven years old opened her hands and gestured excitedly, "It's very tall, all of them are brown and furry, holding many beautiful balloons! This is what the big bear gave me! Uh... And sugar."

The little girl was holding a balloon in the shape of a little yellow duck, floating in mid-air. It was a childish and bright color that was completely different from the serious and majestic police station.She also took out a few colorful fruit candies from her pocket, and said in a childish voice, "That's it, I ate the toffees."

"Eat? Is there any discomfort in your body? Does your stomach hurt?"

The little girl shook her head.

Officer Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "Can I show my sister the candy?"

After the girl nodded, Police Officer Liang took it, opened a candy, looked at it carefully, lowered his head and sniffed it, got up and whispered to the team leader: "The candy is very common, so there should be no problem, but just to be on the safe side, it's better to replace it so that children don't eat it." .”

The captain raised his voice and asked, "Who has candy? Use it first."

When the police searched, someone even asked, "Does mint count?" They ate it after smoking.

The captain stared angrily.

In the end, everyone patched together all kinds of candies, including peanut candy and chocolate, with richer colors.

Jian Di held the candy full in her palm, and asked the little girl gently: "Those candy police brothers and sisters need them, can I exchange them with you?"

The little girl nodded happily in agreement.

While collecting candy, Jian Di also asked where the child met the suspect disguised as a big bear. The captain of the criminal police quickly sent someone there, but unfortunately did not get any effective information in the end.According to the monitoring of the park, this brown bear with a constant smile came and went without a trace, and it was impossible to even identify whether the people hidden inside were male or female. He just distributed the balloons to the children in the park one by one. Excitedly surrounded the big bear, in the chaos, the parents not far away were a little careless, and a little girl just walked away.

Because the store holds activities, it is not uncommon for the staff to wear puppet costumes that please children and give balloons. Parents have long been accustomed to it.And I have to admit that the childish and cute appearance of the puppet does make people unconsciously relax their vigilance.

By asking the little girl, the police got her parents' phone numbers and promptly notified her family to pick her up.

It was also because of this phone call that the police discovered that the murderer did not pick the children at random.The little girl's parents had no idea their child was missing.The little girl's parents both have jobs and are very busy. She is always taken by her grandfather, but his grandfather likes to play mahjong very much, so he usually puts the child in the park to play and asks her to go back when the time comes.

Hearing this, the police officers couldn't help but feel that the parents are really big-hearted. Regardless of such a vicious case that happened recently, the police tried their best to block the news. Even in normal times, they still have to worry about their children being abducted!

The Municipal Bureau contacted the TV station and released news saying that trafficking is rampant now, and reminded parents to educate their children not to contact strangers, let alone pick up anything from strangers.

On the other side, Peng Liang has been brought back to the police station and is in the interrogation room.But he is not a talkative person, he will not answer the police's questions, and quietly waits for his lawyer friend to come over.

This situation is obviously not optimistic, because when the case happened, he had an alibi.And pointed out that he is a student of the graffiti Z, and there is a record of fighting and truancy, and the evidence is not strong enough.

Before the interrogation, Ying Shen and the others carefully read Peng Liang's biographical information, intending to find a breakthrough from his past experience.Before high school, his life was the same as that of many families in China. It was ordinary but with little happiness. Later, his father’s business failed and the family’s financial situation plummeted. Relying on a full scholarship, working part-time to ease the burden on his family, and finally paying off his debts, his life finally seemed to usher in a little light.He met his beloved wife, and the two were deeply in love.According to the plot of the TV series, from here on, he should go uphill, but the goddess of luck did not favor him too much.Five years ago, his wife was suddenly involved in a car accident and died after rescue efforts failed, leaving their three-month-old child in her stomach.

The driver was a young man in his 20s, who was a graduate student, and caused an accident because he was in a hurry and speeding. According to his later statement, he was frightened and stupid at the time. When he recovered, he immediately dialed 120 and got out of the car for rescue.Because the young man voluntarily pleaded guilty and actively made amends after the incident, the judge was suspected of traffic accidents and sentenced to two years in prison according to the criminal law.Later, because of his good performance in prison, he was released on parole six months in advance. After he was released from prison, his wife and children were waiting for him. In addition, he was young and promising, and his parents supported him. He still lived a normal and happy life.

On the other hand, Peng Liang's life has undergone tremendous changes. He could not get out of the shadows for a long time, and even suffered from depression. He had to insist on taking medicine to live a normal life.He was dissatisfied with the court's sentence and refused to forgive the perpetrator. He went to the other party's house many times to make trouble, and was finally forced to go out by the security guard.

"The perpetrator Xu Lifeng? Is that Xu Lifeng!" Chen Zhijie asked in surprise when he saw the familiar name.

"The victim in Liying Community." Jian Di frowned, "No wonder he was an important suspect before. However, during the period when the deceased was murdered as determined by the forensic doctor, Peng Liang and his friends went out for supper, and the friend testified for him. The CCTV surveillance did indeed capture him. But the distance between the restaurant and the crime scene is only ten kilometers, which is not too far.”

Ying Shen put down the information, and continued: "The surveillance captured him leaving the restaurant with his friends after midnight. The murder of Xu Lifeng's family happened to be between midnight and one o'clock. Assuming he left the restaurant, he immediately drove to Li In Ying District, considering the road conditions and traffic lights, it will take at least 10 minutes, but entering Xu Lifeng's house to commit crimes and strangle three people, and to bind the hands and feet of the victims in a special and complicated way, would take 10 to [-] minutes at the fastest. Not counting some accidents. Half an hour later, Peng Liang appeared in a bar near the restaurant, saying that he had invited another friend for a drink."

"It seems too hasty to drive back and forth and commit a crime within half an hour." Shen Wenqin imagined that it would be very difficult to accomplish.

"So the police didn't have sufficient evidence to detain him." Jian Di showed a thoughtful expression, raised her eyes and said firmly, "I'll go talk to him."

Interrogation room.

Jian Di sat down opposite Peng Liang, with her hands relaxed on the table, chatting like a normal person.On the outside of the one-way glass, Ying Shen and the others watched silently.

"Hello, I'm Jian Di, a profiler who assists the Municipal Bureau in investigating cases. I want to ask you something, and I hope you can cooperate, so that I can prove your innocence earlier."

Peng Liang's face was calm, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without fluctuation.

"On the evening of September 2015, 9, you said that you had a midnight snack with your friends, and then went to the bar to drink, but the restaurant and the bar were only 8 minutes' walk away, why did it take you three and 10 minutes to get to the bar? Where have you been all this time?"

Peng Liang said casually: "Let's take a walk casually, maybe I'm too full. How can I remember things so long ago so clearly."

"Do you know how close Liying Community is to where you eat? Half an hour is more than enough to go back and forth. It doesn't rule out the possibility that you deliberately made an alibi."

Peng Liang suddenly bent his lower lip, smiled coldly, and said lightly: "Are you talking about Xu Lifeng? I really want to kill him."

Very emotionally inclined answer, full of hatred!The faces of those watching outside the interrogation room changed slightly.

"Five years, an accident, he doesn't want to, he has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and the family has children to take care of. According to everyone's thinking, it seems that I should forgive him, right?" Ring, "But I won't forgive him even if I die. Why? He killed my wife and children, and ruined my home."

His voice is very flat, but it is hard to refute, every word is full of heavy sorrow.

"To tell you the truth, I'm very happy that he died, but is there anything wrong with that?" Peng Liang asked Jian Di earnestly with eyes full of vicissitudes and deep wrinkles.But Jian Di opened her mouth and couldn't answer him at all.

He stared at Jian Di for a while, then lowered his eyes and said, "I really wanted him to die, but I didn't kill him."

Although Jian Di read the materials and understood the cause and effect, when she actually confronted the person involved, she realized very strongly that a few lines on a thin piece of paper could not express one ten-thousandth of the pain of the person who experienced it.

She opened her mouth and said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with your emotions, but you have to let it stop here, and you can't let it erode your brain. I believe you didn't kill him. You have to prove your innocence, and your wife will never kill him." I don’t want to see you being treated as a murderer. There is a surveillance camera that captured you driving in the direction of Liying Community. What you heard and saw in that half hour is the key to our case. We need you If the murderer is not caught, he will continue to kill, and more families will be killed, father, mother, daughter, son...the murderer will not let go."

Peng Liang twirled the ring in his hand, and suddenly said softly like a sigh: "It's good to die together."

The chill rushed up from his back, Jian Di's scalp was numb, and his head was hot, he stood up and slapped the table hard, "Are you crazy! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

The palm was hot and painful, but Jian Di couldn't feel it at all, she slapped the table loudly and trembled slightly.

She took a breath, and stared at the man who was not at all popular in front of her.I really can't talk anymore!This man desperately needs to see a psychiatrist!
