Netherworld Investigator

Choi Ji is dead.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the night on Tang Street has just begun.At that time, the owner of Niu Kee noodle stall was chopping minced meat on a large cutting board with a knife, preparing for the morning market tomorrow.Suddenly a black shadow fell heavily, and with a loud noise, a mass of flesh and blood suddenly spread out on the ground in front of the store.

The police car that came after hearing the news drove into the noisy Tang Street, like a knife wiped with butter after scalding hot water, the crowd quickly dispersed wherever it went.

In Tang Street, few people who wander through the streets at night are not afraid of the police.

Although here from time to time, a beer bottle explodes, a watermelon knife is pulled out, and there are fights and fights, it is not the first time to see blood.But it was the first time in more than ten years that someone died on the spot in the busy city.

Wen Baifan sat in the conference room in a rare and peaceful manner. He gesticulated and twirled a ballpoint pen. He heard the voice of a colleague reporting the case: "Cui Ji, nicknamed Turkey, and some people call him Hongmao. He is 20 years old. , an unemployed young man with a criminal record of petty theft. He lived on the eighth floor of Ronghua Building. At about midnight on December 12, he fell from his balcony and died on the spot. The door of the house was locked, and there were no signs of fighting at the scene. According to the forensic examination report , the deceased had injected a large amount of morphine before his death."

"In Cui Ji's house, we found an ST police gun. The bullet model of the gun was the same as the bullet on the unknown corpse in Xijiaoshan. In addition, the concentrated sulfuric acid found in Cui Ji's house was consistent with the reagent used to corrode the corpse. According to the preliminary judgment, Cui Ji was suspected of killing and abandoning the corpse, died accidentally after taking drugs, and may have committed suicide in fear of crime."

Wen Baifan was silent for a while, then raised his hand like a primary school student and asked, "Did Cui Ji's cell phone be found at the scene?"

Luo Fei checked the evidence records: "Yes."

Wen Baifan instructed him: "Check his recent call records, especially on the night of December 12, around eight o'clock, to see who he has contacted."

In the office of the special investigation team, Zhang Tao held his face and sighed: "It is normal to have more cases at the end of the year, but it is too exaggerated for these related incidents one after another. But now Director Liao has let us assist in the investigation. The missing gun has been recovered, and the suspect who abandoned the corpse has also been found, so you should be able to breathe a sigh of relief!"

Compared with Zhang Tao's carelessness, Liu Hanfu appeared relatively calm: "The identity of the abandoned corpse has not yet been determined. Who is he, and why did Cui Ji kill him?"

"Hanfu, what are you researching?" Tang Huanyan leaned over, "Is this a photo of the abandoned corpse? The face and ten fingers were corroded, and the clothes on his body were stripped off. The murderer seems to not want others to know the identity of the deceased .”

She paused, then raised her voice: "Brother Bai, let me check the people Cui Ji usually contacts?"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Wen Baifan nodded and reminded, "At present, I know that Cui Ji has no family members and no legitimate job. He was jailed for theft and no one released him on bail. For such a person, the electronic file can provide There is not much information, so you can only investigate on the spot, let’s start with the residents of Ronghua Building one by one.”

"Captain, I have an idea." Liu Hanfu said suddenly, "Just now I looked at the evidence I found from Cui Ji's house, and found a jade wrench with a lot of water."

"Jade thumb?" Zhang Tao asked, "Is it the kind where some kind of gang leader or head of the martial arts drama puts it on the thumb?"

"Yeah." Liu Hanfu reminded, "But judging from Cui Ji's usual attire, he doesn't look like someone who collects jade rings at all."

Zhang Tao nodded: "Maybe it's stolen goods from someone who doesn't know where."

"I noticed that on the base of the left thumb of the unknown corpse, there is a circle of relatively white skin, which looks like the sunburn left by wearing some kind of jewelry for many years." Liu Hanfu passed the photo in his hand to the three people, "Sun The width of the mark is about the same as the jade wrench finger I saw. I was thinking, maybe the owner of this jade wrench finger is the unknown male corpse."

Tang Huanyan swiftly took the jade ring finger from the forensics team next door. She hung the evidence bag under the light, a little dumbfounded: "But, with just this finger ring, how do you know who it belongs to?"

Liu Hanfu checked it carefully, and suddenly shouted, "Look, there is a word engraved on the inside of this finger...it's the character for Jianghe! The owner of the finger might have the word Jiang in his name."

Wen Baifan pondered thoughtfully: "There is a word Jiang in the name."

"Hanfu, your guess is very reasonable!" Zhang Tao was a little surprised, and lightly punched Liu Hanfu on the shoulder with his fist.

"It's okay." Liu Hanfu smiled awkwardly, lowered his head, "I'll just talk about my thoughts."

"Yeah, I found out before, Brother Liu observes things very carefully." Tang Huanyan also nodded, "It's that guy Wang Yu who keeps interrupting, as if other people's opinions are wrong if they don't agree with him."

"Hi, everyone." Luo Fei came in from the door, held up a thin A4 paper in his hand, and said to Wen Baifan, "What you want is Cui Ji's call records for the past three months."

"Thank you, Officer Luo." Liu Hanfu went up to meet him, took it with both hands, and then turned around and handed it to Wen Baifan.

"Who is this, yo, Xiao Liu, young people are full of energy." Luo Fei said weakly, "Sure enough, Young Master Wang is gone, and everyone is much more at ease."

"Don't talk nonsense, get out." Wen Baifan took the information and waved to him.

Luo Fei pointed, "You are ruthless when you chase someone away just after using them!"

Wen Baifan didn't raise his head: "Xiao Tang, help me."

Tang Huanyan suppressed a smile, pushed Luo Fei out without saying a word, and closed the door smoothly.

"He doesn't like to make phone calls very much. The three-month call record is only a tiny bit." Wen Baifan carefully identified the date, number and call duration, "At 12:25 pm on December 9th, Cui Ji once answered a call. [-] minutes long..."

This call should be the one that Cui Ji and Wen Baifan received when they were playing the last sentence of racing, telling him to "start work".

"Who is the other party, can you find it?"

"Well, this number was once tied to an electronic bank, and the name of the account holder is..." Tang Huanyan twitched her fingers on the computer keyboard, "Wei Shengjiang!"

Warehouse No. [-] is located at the end of the sixth floor. It is a storage room where old materials are piled up. It is also an "independent studio" opened by Luo Fei for himself.

Seeing the dust rising under the lamp, Qiao Kejun took a lot of effort to restrain himself before he could not take out the mask and put it on.

"How long has it been since you cleaned up here?" Wen Baifan also felt a little disgusted, "It's too dirty."

"Welcome to my secret garden." Luo Fei greeted cheekily, "Both of you stand where you want, and I will sit first as a respect."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's start." Wen Baifan didn't want to be poor with him, "If you stay a little longer, Qiao Kejun is going to cry."

Luo Fei crossed his legs and sat comfortably on the chair: "According to the hair and fingerprints collected from 801 of Ronghua Building, compared with the DNA of the unidentified male corpse on the western suburbs mountain, it is confirmed that the deceased is Wei Shengjiang. Wei Shengjiang is a widower , and usually have very little contact with other people, so no one reported the case after being missing for such a long time."

"Oh, by the way, Wei Shengjiang worked with a man named Master Snake in his early years. He may have retired a few years ago. Master Snake gave him the entire building of Ronghua Building and the shops below it. It is to let him enjoy the glory."

Qiao Kejun took a look at Wen Baifan and told him, "Master Snake is the black boss with the tattoo 'Buns are delicious' on his waist.

"Greedy for snakes, this black boss is quite innocent?" Wen Baifan thought it was funny.

"Director Qiao, do you know this person?" Luo Fei wondered, "It took me a lot of effort to find out his information. Ten years ago, this person has almost disappeared from the Jianghu world. I can't find too much information about him in the archives."

"I met him many years ago." Qiao Kejun took the subject vaguely, thought for a while, and added a few more information, "I heard that this man has Italian blood, but I think his appearance is still rather strange. A little more Asian."

"He is of mixed race, so it seems that the photo recorded in the file is also fake." Luo Fei quickly marked the file on the computer, and said, "This person is quite famous, some people call him ' Land King', it is said that he made his fortune by squandering land and made a lot of money. But this person's identity is very mysterious and his behavior is low-key. There is not even a real name left in the file, and even the photos are fake, which means that he didn't even enter the game. Pass."

Qiao Kejun thought for a while, and added a little more information: "I remember that I heard someone call his full name at that time, and his name was She Fengwu."

The moment he heard the name, Wen Baifan's face turned pale.

A burst of gunshots exploded in his mind, Wen Baifan took a step back a little staggeringly, and hit the metal locker behind him with a "bang", slightly rusty rust fell on his shoulders.

"Are you okay?" Qiao Kejun reached out to help him.

"Small accident." Wen Baifan forced a smile and avoided his gaze.

Qiao Kejun let go, staring at his profile thoughtfully.

Luo Fei just turned his back and didn't notice anything wrong between the two of them, so he continued, "Cui Ji is a habitual thief. The boss of Niu Ji said that he often owes rent, and his relationship with the landlord Wei Shengjiang is not very good. , I even heard that the two had fought, Wei Shengjiang threatened to drive him away many times, but nothing happened every time. If it is said that Cui Ji harmed Wei Shengjiang, the motive is also established."

"Using a gun to kill people, and it's a police gun, that's very strange." Qiao Kejun squinted his eyes. He checked Cui Ji's hand, and the distribution of calluses didn't look like the usual gun. For professionally trained people, the experience of shooting a gun for the first time is quite painful. If they really want to kill, they will be more inclined to choose a sharp weapon such as a knife."

"There may not be a causal relationship between stealing a gun and killing someone, maybe it's just a coincidence." Luo Fei speculated about the situation at the time, "Wei Shengjiang called him to urge him to ask for rent, so Cui Ji stole his wallet in the video game mall, but he didn't expect to steal it." Wang Yu's gun, so he became murderous and killed the landlord and abandoned his body."

Wen Baifan looked up at the light, his eyes were a little erratic, "That bullet is not fatal."

"That's right, the cause of Wei Shengjiang's death was poisoning." Qiao Kejun nodded, "In other words, there are very likely two people who murdered him, and Cui Ji was only one of them."

"Hey, it's all because Brother Bai told me to hide this clue from the three people in the special team, so I almost forgot." Luo Fei sighed, "I even kept Yanyan from it, although this It's a sign of my confidence in her, but I still feel like a sinner in love."

"You'd better think carefully about who is the culprit in the case. If you haven't caught the truth for a day, including me, no one in the special team can completely remove the suspicion."

"Oh, so we're obstructing justice if we're secretly communicating with you like this." Luo Fei joked nonchalantly, "If you're the murderer, then I'll be an accomplice."

Wen Baifan smiled, and changed the subject: "What is your first reaction when you hear the name Wei Shengjiang?"

Luo Fei was taken aback, and thought for a while, "Is the last name quite rare?"

"That's right." Wen Baifan nodded, "The word 'Jiang' is engraved in Wei Shengjiang's jade finger, if I hadn't known the name Wei Shengjiang in advance, when I saw it for the first time, I would have subconsciously thought it was the jade finger. The owner's surname is Jiang."

However, just now, Liu Hanfu's first reaction was——

"Look, there is a word engraved on the inner side of this finger..." Liu Hanfu checked it carefully, and suddenly shouted, "It's the character Jiang for Jianghe! The owner of the finger might have the character Jiang in his name!"

"Xiao Liu's performance of Wei Shengjiang's identity is suspicious. When I asked Xiao Tang to investigate the residents of Ronghua Building, he suddenly seemed a little too nervous." Wen Baifan crossed his fingers and pressed his chin, "I was staring at the photo, the first The first reaction was not a tan mark on the base of the thumb, but, thinking of using the fingerprints of destruction to cover up his identity, this kind of anti-reconnaissance awareness is not something ordinary people can have.

Luo Fei was a little surprised: "Don't you doubt him?"

Wen Baifan sighed, "It's true that the bullets in Wei Shengjiang's body are from the ST, but how can we conclude that the gun that fired the bullets is from Wang Yu's gun?"

"The one found at Cui Ji's house is Wang Yu's, that's right." Qiao Kejun rubbed his index finger joints, imitating Wen Baifan's tone, "But how can we conclude that he died of committing suicide out of fear of crime, not fear of crime? kill?"

"But, if, just in case, even if it is really him," Luo Fei looked confused, "What is his motive for committing the crime?"

"Brother Bai, then tomorrow... oh no, see you next year." Luo Fei put on his seat belt and waved to him.

Tang Huanyan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, still looked worried, "Is it really okay for you to wander around here by yourself? What if there is danger?"

"He's a policeman after all. Could it be that he can't even beat a few gangsters in Tang Street?" Luo Fei said later, his tone was a little uncertain, and he looked at Wen Baifan hesitantly, "Should be able to beat... ?”

"Crazy, I have nothing to fight with others." Wen Baifan looked helplessly at the two low IQs in love, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, there are only seven hours left on the last Valentine's Day of this year. The blood samples collected in the back compartment of Wei Shengjiang were brought back to Qiao Kejun on the [-]rd for comparison, what are you still dawdling about, do you still want to get off work?"

"That's right, we still have to fall in love, so we can't delay." Luo Fei patted the steering wheel, "Sure, let's go back first, and when you're done, give me a call and I'll pick you up. Lost, remember to turn on the GPS, I will turn around and locate you directly. It is definitely not easy to take a taxi in this area at night. I think even in the daytime, taxis will stop at the street. That’s right. Crying in pain in front of the wheel, the driver must not be extorted for thousands of dollars..."

"Hey, why don't you stop nagging." Wen Baifan pointed to the mechanical watch on his wrist, "It's only five o'clock, and I'm sick. I'm going around here for three or four hours. It's not a tourist attraction. All right, all right, I'll check around Ronghua, and I'll drive back to the palace in a while."
