crime scene

The coldest winter day in Shishi has never been so cold.

Layers of cold sweat had already oozed from the palms of my hands unconsciously. It was an ordinary basement, but I felt inexplicably terrifying.

Chu Duanyu still had more details in his hands, but he didn't say them out. Some details were not very useful to the detection of the case, but it was very shocking to tell them out.

Su Nian pursed her lips, her eyes were blurred, the thin boy was being tortured, he couldn't cry out, he couldn't break free, he couldn't dodge, maybe the pain had paralyzed his nerves, maybe he had passed out countless times, maybe he was thinking at that time After a while to die.

The eyes that are finally closed, is pain or relief.

The cigarettes on the table were burned out, Xie Qian took Su Nian's hand and dragged him out of the basement.

Suddenly cold and hot, Su Nian sneezed several times.

It feels so good to stand in the sun.

"You wait for me in the car, and I'll go buy something to eat."

Xie Qian was not in a hurry to get in the car, but wandered around the dormitory building instead.

Many old dormitory buildings lack management, and residents will renovate or expand the living area on the first floor without permission, and turn it into a small shop or small restaurant.

This building does not have such a phenomenon, but the building next door does, and it is a privately converted small supermarket.

In the afternoon, the sun was westward, and many small vendors also came out to set up stalls. This place is not so much a vegetable market as it is.

Xie Qian walked into the supermarket, grabbed some bread and coffee, and went to the front desk to check out.

The cashier is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, quiet but quick at work, skillfully using the scanner to calculate the price.

"Have you rented out the basement of the building next door?" Xie Qian asked as if unintentionally, with a casual tone.

"Where is it rented out, little uncle, someone just died a while ago."

Uncle?

Xie Qian was obviously a little surprised by this title, but immediately adjusted his mentality back.

"Dead?" Xie Qian pretended to be surprised, "I have a friend from other places, and I want to introduce him to rent a house here."

"Come on, it's really dead. It's a boy. I heard it was quite miserable. The basement was always empty. No one came to ask about the rental. The landlord didn't care. Who knew it was because he didn't care. It was spotted."

"Ah... so, it's still really uninhabitable, how much is it?"

"21."

Xie Qian paid the money, took the bag back to the car, started the car, "Nian Nian, you can eat something first."

"it is good."

"Does the captain have mine?"

"help yourself."

Xie Qian exhausted his strength and finally drove the car out of the community. Su Nian and Chu Duanyu ate bread and ate quietly. Out of the corner of his eye, Xie Qian caught Su Nian's bulging cheeks and freed his hands Squeeze.

Su Nian raised her head, eyes full of doubts.

"Go and see Tang Ying's house in a while." Xie Qian had no choice but to say something casually as a reply.

"When are you going to the nightclub?" Chu Duanyu interjected, whimpering.

"There's no rush for that, the later the better." Xie Qian replied.

Coincidentally, it was the rush hour for commuting, and the long motorcade was blocked from this intersection to the last intersection, stop and go, and impatiently lit a cigarette and took two puffs between his fingers , tapping the steering wheel.

From the rearview mirror, you can see that Chu Duanyu has already started to play with his mobile phone with his head down.

Seeing the opportunity, Xie Qian quickly pecked Su Nian on the cheek, immediately felt relieved, and hummed a song as if nothing happened.

Su Nian rolled his eyes at him, "Just now you asked the supermarket cashier what happened?"

"Ask her if anyone wants to rent the basement, and she says there's been no one," Xie Qian replied.

"Obviously the murderer also knows the news. He lives nearby, or often travels in this area." Su Nian raised his hand and wiped the kissed cheek.

Hey, this kid really needs to clean up.

Xie Qian smiled slightly, licked his lips and responded, "So I'm waiting for Jiang Panpan's surveillance video."

According to the location provided in the dossier, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Tang Ying's residence. Chu Duanyu was hungry, so she put on her equipment and went into the deceased's house.

The room is not very messy, especially on the dressing table, cosmetics and skin care products are placed in a mess, and there are a few very sexy clothes scattered on the bed.

"Is she on a date?" Su Nian asked.

"It's definitely not dating his boyfriend." Chu Duanyu said firmly, "She still dresses up when she goes out in the middle of the night. There is no need for her to meet her boyfriend who has been dating for several years. I swear by the girlfriends I have had."

"It's a pity that the surveillance at the gate of the community didn't capture where she went." Xie Qian shrugged, picked up the unopened potato chips on the table, and put them back after confirming the expiration date.

"Is there any place open in the middle of the night?"

Su Nian really didn't know much about this aspect, so he asked more questions. Chu Duanyu raised his eyebrows, and explained with some satisfaction, "Yes, there are quite a few, 26524, nightclubs, bathing centers, red lights The venue or something..."

"Is there a more normal entertainment place, such as... a movie theater?" Su Nian said, walked to the TV cabinet and squatted down, and opened the half-open drawer.

There are many CDs inside, a whole drawer full, among them are many old movies, some of which even Xie Qian has never seen.

"Go to the night movie with the person you like?" Chu Duanyu also came over and asked, "Why is there one missing?"

"It was taken away, most likely it was a nostalgic movie." Su Nian replied. "Is there any movie rescheduled last month? It's better to be a romance movie."

"Let Zhang Yitian check it later," Chu Duanyu said.

"Tang Ying has a small problem. She can't close the cabinet obediently after taking things. The wardrobe is like this, the bedside table is like this, and the TV cabinet is also like this."

"Exquisite makeup, the CD that was taken away, going out late at night... She took the CD to someone else's house for the night?" Xie Qian was a little slurred with a cigarette butt in his mouth.

"So we can go to the nightclub now?" Chu Duanyu was a little excited, and asked him beside Xie Qian.

Xie Qian ignored him, lowered his head to hold his mobile phone, and happened to see the photo sent by Jiang Panpan.

"Panpan found the suspect. There were two shots in total, but none of the faces were captured."

"Very cunning, with good anti-investigation capabilities." Su Nian nodded in surprise. At first, he really didn't pin his hopes on surveillance. "At present, there is no way to combine the two cases, but if it is a series of cases, the murderer must be Will continue to commit crimes, but the cooling-off period of one month is a bit long."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Qian's cell phone received another message, this time from Zhang Yitian, with a file attached.

Regarding the call records of Tang Ying's mobile phone, Jiang Panpan has already classified them and distinguished them with different colors, and did not find any special mobile phone numbers.

Although Su Nian is an adult, after all, Xi Qian really doesn't like him going to such a messy place. When all the clues are checked, the nightclub becomes the last useful place to visit.

"Let's have something to eat later, and then go to that nightclub." Xie Qian said reluctantly, rubbing the tip of his nose.
