Mystery Tracker 2

Half an hour later, Jiang Li, Qin Kai and the other three came back to report the results one after another, but unfortunately, they did not find any witnesses.However, considering that it was working time and it was raining so heavily, everyone didn't feel so surprised.

"Just now, when you didn't come back, I called several sub-bureaus. So far, I haven't received any report that there are foreigners missing. So we still need to find out the identity of the victim." Shen Yan Said to Jiang Li and the others, "After our analysis just now, the victim probably lives in the Chengnan New District. So we will go directly to the Chengnan District to find out in a while, and try to determine the identity of the victim first."

"Okay." Several people nodded at the same time.

Shen Yan nodded, and then looked at Cheng Jinsong and Jiang Ruiheng: "Then you go back to the bureau first, and conduct an autopsy as soon as possible. Judging from the scene, the two bullets should still be in the body of the deceased, and they will be one of the tools for us to track down the murderer." Important clues, to determine the model of pistol used by the murderer as soon as possible. I will go back after I find out the identity of the deceased."

"it is good."

Cheng Jinsong and Jiang Ruiheng left first, and then Shen Yan and several members of the serious crime team got into the car.As soon as Shen Yan got into the car, he said to Li Yuan: "Li Yuan, check the real estate complexes in Chengnan New District that meet the requirements, starting with the one closest to Binhe Road."

"Okay." Fang Liyuan took out his mobile phone and began to retrieve the map of Chengnan New District.Soon he determined the first goal: "Turn left ahead, 2.8 kilometers away, Huayuan New Town."...

In the next hour or so, several members of the serious crime team braved the heavy rain to visit the Chengnan New District.It turned out to be exactly as Fang Liyuan expected, in the fourth community, Shen Yangang showed the photo of the deceased, and one of them immediately recognized the deceased.

"Isn't this Mr. Bertrand?" It was a male staff member who spoke. He looked at the dead man's pale face with closed eyes in the photo, and asked uneasily, "Is... what happened to him?"

"We found his body on Binhe Road this morning," Shen Yan said.

"What?! He died?!" The man couldn't help exclaiming, "How did he die?"

"We are still investigating the cause of death." Shen Yan took back his mobile phone and continued to ask: "The deceased lived in your community, right? How much do you know about him, can you tell me about his situation?"

"Oh... oh good." The man obviously hasn't fully recovered from the shock, he calmed down, and then said: "Mr. Bertrand lives in Building 42 of our community, and I'm from the building where he lives. housekeeper."

Shen Yan knew that in many high-end residential areas, each building is equipped with special property management staff, so it seems that this man should be familiar with the deceased.So he asked: "Which country is he from? How old is he? Where does he work? Who else is in the family?"

"Mr. Bertrand is French. If I remember correctly, he is 39 years old. He has been in China for six or seven years. He is the vice president of Citroen's branch in S City. He has lived in our community for more than two years. Yes. His wife is Chinese. They have two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is 5 years old and the girl is 3 years old."

Shen Yan wrote down the information, and then asked: "Then where is his wife and children now?"

"They went on a trip to Europe. Mr. Bertrand told me personally a few days ago. He said that his wife went to Europe with their children and would not come back in about half a month."

Shen Yan nodded, and then asked: "Does he have the habit of running at night?"

"Yes." The butler nodded with certainty, "foreigners have better exercise habits than us. The foreigners living in our park basically have the habit of running. There is a very professional gym in our community. But Mr. Bertrand compares I like to run outdoors, and basically go out for more than an hour every night."

Shen Yan and the others looked at each other—as expected.No wonder the murderer was able to block him on Binhe Road.It seemed that the murderer knew a lot about Bertrand's exercise habits.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan continued to ask: "Then do you know, has this Bertrand ever had conflicts with others? Also, has he ever been followed?"

"Mr. Bertrand is very cheerful and kind. He always greets people with a smile. I have never seen him quarreling with anyone. In addition, the management of our park is very strict, and you need to register with your ID card when you enter and exit the park." , and there are security guards patrolling 24 hours a day, it is impossible for someone to sneak in..." The staff member seemed to become more disturbed as he spoke, and he tried to speak again: "Officer, what happened to Mr. Bertrand?..."

"We can't disclose this." Shen Yan said, "Do you have his wife's phone number? We need to contact him as soon as possible. Also, do you know the address of his unit?"

"This one……"

Just before the butler finished speaking, suddenly, the phone on the table rang.A staff member hurried over to pick up the phone, she heard a few words from the other end, then raised her head to look at this side: "Manager, there is a person outside Gate 3 who wants to enter the park, and he said he is looking for Mr. Bertrand..."

The eyes of several members of the crime team immediately lit up when they heard this.Shen Yan walked over quickly, and whispered to the female staff who answered the phone: "Ask who is here, and what can you do with Bertrand."

The female staff member looked at the property manager and saw that the latter nodded, so she picked up the microphone and said, "Hey, ask who this person is and what you can do with Mr. Bertrand."

There was silence on the phone for a while, probably the security guard went to ask questions.After a while, I heard voices coming from the other end.

"She said she was Mr. Bertrand's secretary, because he couldn't get through to Bertrand's phone, so she came to pick him up..."

"Let her in, come here."

The staff nodded. "Then let her come in, let her come directly to the property center."

After less than 5 minutes, the figure of a young woman appeared at the door of the property center.She was about 26, seven years old, and dressed in business attire.The woman walked into the room and took a look, and immediately recognized the housekeeper of the building where Bertrand lived, and went straight to him: "Xiao Du, you are just in time, did you see Mr. Bo this morning? I will call him. No answer, he will have a very important meeting in a while, you can accompany me to his house to see..."

The woman seemed to be in a hurry and spoke very fast. She didn't notice the strange expression on Butler Du's face until the whole sentence was almost finished. She asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yan walked over: "Are you Bertrand's secretary?"

The woman turned her head, looked at Shen Yan and the people behind him, and suddenly became more alert: "Who are you?"

"I'm from the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Hearing this sentence, the woman's face changed suddenly. "From the Public Security Bureau?! What happened to my boss?!"

"We found your boss's body this morning." Shen Yan said, handing the woman the photo of the deceased taken at the scene of the crime.

"What?!" The woman yelled out in surprise, she took the phone, and her face turned pale after only one glance.She stared at the corpse in the photo and carefully identified it, then returned the phone to Shen Yan, and said in shock and bewilderment: "He, how did he die?"

"It's not convenient for us to disclose the specific cause of his death. But we need to ask you about the situation. Can I trouble you to go to the police station with us? We want to learn more about your boss from you."

"This...can I call our general manager first?" The female secretary said anxiously, "To tell you the truth, Comrade police, today the city has arranged a meeting between the city government and French entrepreneurs. Our Boss It should be attended. This is an important meeting of the Sino-French activity week. Our company has several important projects that need to find partners at this meeting... Now that Mr. Bo has an accident, I have to inform our boss ..."

Shen Yan nodded, and the female secretary immediately took out her mobile phone and started making calls.The person who answered the phone should also be a Frenchman, because the female secretary has been talking to the other party in French.The two exchanged a few words, then, seeing the female secretary nod, she turned around and said to Shen Yan: "Officer, can you confirm that the deceased is our Boss?"

"You have seen the photo of the deceased just now, and the people in the property have recognized him. There should be no mistakes."

"I still want to confirm it with my own eyes." The female secretary insisted, "I'll go with you to the police station to identify the body now, is that okay?"

Shen Yan thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay."

The two parties drove back to the police station quickly, and Shen Yan took the female secretary directly to the forensic room on the sixth floor.The result of the autopsy was as everyone expected, the deceased was the secretary's boss Bertrand.

"He..." The female secretary pointed to the two blood holes on the chest of the deceased, and asked incredulously, "He was... shot by a gun?"

"We can't be sure until an autopsy is done. However, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Oh my God..." The female secretary covered her mouth in horror, her voice was filled with tears, "Who did this?..."

Seeing that the female secretary was also quite frightened, Shen Yan suggested, "Since you have confirmed the identity of the deceased, why don't we talk in another place."

The female secretary nodded in surprise and sadness.

Shen Yan took the female secretary out of the forensic room.The female secretary took two steps and said to Shen Yan: "Captain Shen, I want to call our general manager again. Just now our general manager was very worried when he heard that Mr. Bo had an accident. He asked me to call him after identifying the body. Make a phone call, I want to tell him first."

"can."

The female secretary took out her mobile phone again and called their boss.The two still chatted in French for a while, and then, they didn't know what the woman said, only heard the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly raised a lot, and the other party said something quickly, as if making some request After listening, the female secretary looked at Shen Yan several times, as if hesitant.In the end, however, she nodded and hung up the phone.

"Captain Shen," the female secretary put down her phone and walked in front of Shen Yan, "Our boss asked me to tell you that he is going to the city government to attend an important meeting, and he will come here after the meeting to give you details understand situation."

"Yes." Shen Yan nodded.

"Then..." Speaking of which, the female secretary bit her lip and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "My boss asked me not to accept your police questioning until he came..."

? !

Hearing this, Shen Yan and the other members of the serious crime team frowned.

"What does your boss mean?" Shen Yan said in a low voice with displeasure on his face.

"He... he probably wants to understand the whole thing more clearly..." The female secretary explained in a low voice, probably because she was wronged, "Captain Shen, you don't know, our boss's temper... is a bit big , he is very strict with us on weekdays, and we must complete the prescribed tasks. Moreover, he has not been in China for long, and he doesn't know much about some things in our country... Could you please be a little more accommodating, okay? He I'll be here around two o'clock in the afternoon, and I can answer your questions when he comes over."

"When he comes over and stares at him, you still dare to speak?" Cheng Haiyang asked with a sneer.

The female secretary was blocked by Cheng Haiyang. She looked at Cheng Haiyang and said honestly: "Officer, I work under him, so I have to think about my own job, right? I didn't say that I don't cooperate with you..."

"Okay," Shen Yan interrupted the female secretary's explanation.He could see that the female secretary was very afraid of the boss she was talking about, and he probably wouldn't open her mouth even if she talked about it, so he didn't intend to spend more time with her.He said to the female secretary: "Since your boss will come back soon, you can wait for him to come back and take notes. But there are two things I need you to do first. First, you tell me your boss's full name. "

The female secretary nodded: "Mr. Bo's full name is PierreRene Bertrand, and his Chinese name is Berlande - he created it himself. He has lived in China for many years and speaks Chinese very well. We usually call him Mr. Bo .”

Shen Yan asked the female secretary to write the name on the paper, and then continued to ask: "Second thing, I heard from the property management that the deceased's wife and child have traveled abroad. Do you have his wife's phone number?"

"Have."

"Well, you can call her now and tell her that something happened to her husband. We hope she can return to China as soon as possible. There are some follow-up investigations, and we need her to be present."

The female secretary thought for a while, bit her lip and nodded.

She picked up the phone and dialed again. "Hey, sister-in-law, I'm Xiaoye. That..." The female secretary hesitated and hesitated, as if she couldn't speak out about it in the end, so she quickly said, "Wait a minute, someone is looking for you."

After finishing speaking, she quickly handed the phone to Shen Yan as if asking for help: "Captain Shen, you should tell her yourself."

The female secretary's actions were in line with Shen Yan's wishes, so he answered the phone and said, "Hello, I am Shen Yan, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Public Security Bureau of S City. You are Berland's wife, right?"

"Yes." The woman on the opposite side spoke pure Chinese and was obviously an authentic Chinese. "May I ask what you want from me?..."

"I'm sorry to tell you that your husband passed away and we found your husband's body by the river this morning."

There was an instant of silence on the other side.After a while, I heard the woman say: "You...are you joking?...I still talk to my husband on the phone during the day...I don't believe it, you, you lied..."

"Your husband's secretary has just identified the body with us. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

As Shen Yan said, he handed the phone back to the female secretary, who took it, and said in a very unbearable way: "Sister-in-law... What Captain Shen said is true... I, I saw it..."

Speaking of this, tears welled up in the female secretary's eyes.She covered her mouth and handed the phone to Shen Yan reluctantly.

The woman on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned by the bad news, and kept muttering to herself: "This is impossible... this is impossible... I don't believe it! I just talked to him on the phone! I just talked to him on the phone ! He can't...impossible..."

The woman first let go and screamed, and then burst into tears.

Hearing the woman's cry, Shen Yan couldn't bear it.However, work is important after all, so he can only continue to speak: "Mrs. Uncle, people cannot be resurrected after death, please accept your condolences. What is more important now is that we have to find the murderer of your husband as soon as possible."

"He was killed? By whom?!" The woman asked tearfully.

"We are investigating. I want to ask, has your husband had any grudges recently?"

"No, my husband is a very good person... Who would want to kill him so conscientiously?!..."

"We found your husband's body on Hebin Road. It is presumed that he was killed during a night run last night. You said that you spoke with him on the phone yesterday. Did he say anything special at that time?"

"No...he just said he was going to run, he runs every day..." At this point, the woman's voice turned sad again, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let him go for a run..."

Hearing the woman's agitation, Shen Yan knew it was inappropriate to ask further questions, so he said, "Mrs. Uncle, our police hope that you can return to China as soon as possible. We still need your cooperation in many aspects of our follow-up investigation."

The woman cried and agreed: "I'll buy a plane ticket in a while..."

Shen Yan nodded: "In addition, we need to conduct an autopsy on your husband's body in order to find clues and find the murderer of your husband as soon as possible."

The woman agreed again.She seemed to turn all her sorrow into anger, and said loudly to Shen Yan: "Comrade police, please catch the murderer of my husband!"

"Don't worry, we will do our best to give your husband justice." Shen Yan solemnly promised.

Hanging up the phone, Shen Yan returned the phone to the female secretary, and then said to his team members: "Berland's wife said she would return to China as soon as possible, and she also agreed to our autopsy. Inform Ruiheng to do the autopsy as soon as possible, and then we are ready to start work." .”

"Okay." Several people nodded.

In the next few hours, the forensic team and the forensic team started their own inspection work.And Shen Yan and the others were not idle, because they knew the name of the deceased, Shen Yan sent someone to contact the Exit-Entry Administration Office, and soon found out the relevant information of the deceased.

"The deceased Bolande, French, male, 39 years old. He came to China for the first time in 2007, and went back and forth between China and France many times in the following years. In recent years, he has basically been stationed in China. Immigration Center It shows that in the past five years, except for going abroad for meetings, he basically stayed in China.” Qin Kai looked at the information and said, “The deceased’s wife’s name is Yu Xinyuan, female, 31 years old, from Shanghai, China, and the two were married five years ago. The marriage was registered in Shanghai, China. The last time the deceased went abroad was 4 months ago, based on the situation, it is estimated that the murderer should not be targeting him abroad."

Shen Yan nodded.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang, and Shen Yan answered the phone. It was Section Chief Liu of the Public Relations Department.

"Hey, Team Shen, the body you found this morning is the vice president of Citroen, right?" Section Chief Liu asked straight to the point.

"Yes." Shen Yan replied.

"Citroen's people are here, Director Wang asked you and Jin Song to come over." After finishing speaking, Section Chief Liu lowered his voice and said, "Well, you have to be mentally prepared, there are many people coming from them... ..."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Bei: Team Shen, why do you call the deceased Bertrand instead of his French name?

Shen: (embarrassed) Ahem, well, my French is not very good...

Bei: (holding back a laugh) Oh, then, Team Shen, how is your English?

Shen: Ahem... (Continues to be embarrassed, blushes)

Cheng: Author, please don’t bully my family, Shen Yan. First, he doesn’t need English for his daily work. Second, if he really needs me or his brother, he can be his translator. If you don’t agree, how about we talk about it?Or can I find Shen Hao for you?

Bei: (coughing wildly) Keke cough cough... No need, brother Jin, I have returned all my English to the teacher...
