Mystery Tracker 2

"Mom?!" Li Jiayu didn't expect his mother to appear suddenly, and when he got up together, he found that his hand was still in Jiang Ruiheng's. He quickly shook off Jiang Ruiheng's hand, and pretended to be nonchalant and said to his mother, "Are you done exercising?"

Mother Li nodded, and Jiang Ruiheng also got up: "Hello, Auntie."

"It's Xiao Jiang," Mother Li nodded to Jiang Ruiheng, and she looked at the two of them, "Are you two out for dinner?"

"Yes, I was busy nearby until late just now, so I took Jiayu to accompany me out for dinner." Jiang Ruiheng said.

"Oh, you are busy with work, but you have to eat as much as you should. Don't starve to death." Mother Li said, looking down at the table, "Hey, you just eat this? This can keep you full..."

At the end of Li's mother's speech, she seemed to pause for some reason. Jiang Ruiheng didn't notice it too much, but smiled and replied: "It's okay, I'm not very hungry at first, just a casual bite is enough."

"Oh," Li's mother didn't say anything else, she looked up at her son, Li Jiayu said with as normal an expression as possible: "Mom, I'll sit with Ruiheng for a while and then go home, you go upstairs first."

"Well, okay." Mother Li nodded to Jiang Ruiheng, "Then you two eat slowly."

"Okay, goodbye, auntie." Jiang Ruiheng said goodbye politely.

After his mother left, Li Jiayu sat down and let out a long breath.

"I said, do you need to be so nervous?" Jiang Ruiheng thought it was a little funny, "The way you shook my hand just now was too obvious."

"I didn't expect her to appear suddenly." Li Jiayu recalled the performance just now, and he was a little uncertain, "My mother can't see it?"

"If your mother asks you, just say that you are watching how the wound on my hand is recovering!" Jiang Ruiheng raised his hand to help him pour the wine.

"Well, that makes sense..." Li Jiayu was about to nod his head, but when he looked down and saw the thing in Jiang Ruiheng's hand, he jumped up - "I'm relying on you, why haven't you taken it off!!..."

In the community across the road, Li's mother saw her son stretch out his hand in a hurry and tore something from Jiang Ruiheng's wrist, but Jiang Ruiheng was not dissatisfied, but just watched Li Jiayu's movements with a smile .Seeing the actions of these two people, a series of question marks floated in the old lady's heart...

Li Jiayu accompanied Jiang Ruiheng to eat until 09:30 before returning home.When I walked in, my parents were still sitting there watching TV.Li Jiayu glanced at his mother secretly, and found that the old lady looked intently, which seemed to be different from the past.Li Jiayu felt a little relieved, and walked into the bathroom to wash up.After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Li Jiayu was about to go back to the house, but when he went out, he found that his mother had just walked out the door.

"Mom, do you use the toilet?"

"Well, have you finished washing?"

"finished Wash."

"Okay." The old lady nodded. Li Jiayu was just about to go back to the house, but Li's mother said, "I said Jiayu, how are you and that girl Xiao Jiang getting along recently?"

"Ah?" Li Jiayu thought for a few seconds before realizing that the surname of his "girlfriend" was "Jiang" which he made up nonsense back then, so he replied, "It's not bad."

"Then someday..." Li Jiayu's cell phone rang before Mother Li finished speaking.

"Mom, I'll answer the phone first." Li Jiayu walked back into the house and picked up the phone. The expression on the caller's face changed slightly when he saw the caller.

"Hello, Brother Jin." Li Jiayu picked up the phone, "What?! Okay, I'll go right away! I know the place, okay, then I'll go there first, see you there."

Li Jiayu hung up the phone, walked quickly to the closet, and said as he walked, "Mom, there is a case. I'll go out for a while. You and Dad don't have to wait for me."

"Ah?! This..." Mother Li still wanted to say something, but Li Jiayu didn't notice, and he quickly walked out after getting dressed.Accompanied by the sound of closing the door with a "bang", the old lady choked on her mouth full of words.

"This... oh!" Mother Li stared at the closed door, stamped her feet and sighed.

The location of the crime this time is Xinkaihe in the northern district of the city - City S is a typical "Sifang City", with the ancient old city ruins as the center, the entire city is divided into four districts, east, west, south, north.The four urban areas are basically the same size, except that the south side is naturally facing a river, and the other three sides are separated from the side by an unknown artificial canal.Regarding this canal, the old people said that it was the moat outside the old city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.With the development of society, the urban scale of City S is also constantly expanding. The southern part of the city crossed the river and built a new southern part of the city, and the moat in the northeast and west has long lost its original role of demarcating boundaries.Due to poor management and poor water flow, at the end of the last century, many parts of the moat became stinky ditches. So at the beginning of this century, the city government of S spent tens of millions of dollars to rebuild the moat, dredge the waterways, and remove the silt. It took several years, and finally A section of the stinky ditch has been completely remodeled.After the reconstruction, the Xinkai River has winding channels and clear water flow, giving the inland city S a more hydrating beauty.Along the Xinkai River, the municipal government has intentionally set aside a number of green areas, which have become good places for nearby residents to relax and cool off.

The place where the crime happened today is a section of the Xinkai River in the northern part of the city.When Li Jiayu arrived at the scene, the riverside had already pulled up a cordon, Shen Yan and Jiang Li had already arrived, and they were inquiring about the situation with relevant personnel.

Li Jiayu crossed the cordon and came to the corpse.When he saw the appearance of the corpse, he frowned, because the corpse lying on the ground in front of him was light-skinned and had a high nose. It looked like a white male.

Another foreigner? ! ...

Over there, the police officers from 110 were introducing the situation to Shen Yan: "...the center received a call to the police about an hour ago, saying that someone had fallen into the water in Xinkai River. When we arrived at the scene, we found that the light was very dark. The masses said that they tried to rescue someone after they found someone falling into the water, but it was too dark and the visibility in the water was too poor, so they failed. After we got there, we went into the water three times before finding the person. When they were caught, they were already dead. 120 After checking, the doctors said that there was no point in resuscitation. But we only noticed one thing when they checked—"

As he said that, the policeman bent down and turned the corpse over - even though the light was dim, Li Jiayu noticed that there was an unusual dark spot on the clothes on the back of the deceased.The male police officer then lifted the clothes of the deceased, and a dark blood hole appeared in front of everyone.

Gun injury? ! !

Caucasian, gunshot wound - these two points are enough for Shen Yan and others to understand why 110 called them over directly.And when Jiang Ruiheng came and took out a steel ball from the wound of the deceased, everyone's conjecture was immediately confirmed.

……

The white light of the emergency lights illuminated the open space by the river, and the personnel of the forensic and forensic teams started their work with tools.Shen Yan and Jiang Li began to learn about the situation from the witnesses of the incident.

"I was walking my dog ​​on the bridge, and suddenly I heard a 'plop' from under the bridge. I felt something was wrong, so I looked under the bridge and saw that the water seemed to be shaking, but I didn't look at anyone. But soon there were people shouting from under the bridge, 'someone fell into the water'." The speaker was a middle-aged man in his 40s, his lower body was wet, and it was obvious that he had just crossed the river.There was a big dog squatting beside him. "As soon as I heard that someone fell into the water, I took the dog around and came down. When I got down, there were already a few people standing by the river, and then the old couple said that they saw someone fall into the river." The man said He said, pointing to an elderly couple standing aside, "They were discussing whether they should find someone to go down and fish for a look. I saw that they were all old men and old ladies, so I said I should go down, I can swim. Then a few of them helped to twist a piece of rope with clothes, dog ropes, etc., and I tied the rope and went down, but I didn’t expect that the river looked clear during the day, but it was dark at night, and I couldn’t see anything. It’s clear, and there’s still a lot of silt under the water. I stabbed a few times and didn’t see anyone, so I had to go up. I said no, I can’t find anyone, so I’d better call 110.”

"My wife and I were strolling across the river, and then we heard movement under this bridge." Standing in front of Shen Yan now is the elderly couple that the man mentioned just now, and the old lady is telling the story. The situation at that time, "I just glanced at the sound, and I just saw a black shadow fall into the water, and there was a 'plop', and then I saw a figure 'whoosh' all of a sudden. Run away from the woods."

"You said you saw a figure running out?" Shen Yan keenly grasped the important content of the old man's words, "What kind of person is that?"

"Not too tall, a little thin, and wearing a hat." The old lady described while gesticulating, "When he ran, he bent his waist and covered his stomach, as if he was holding something in front of him."

Shen Yan and Jiang Li looked at each other - what the murderer was holding was probably his gun.

"About the individual who ran away, can you remember anything more specific?" Shen Yan further enlightened, "For example, what kind of clothes did he wear? What kind of pants and shoes? Can you be more specific? Son?"

"Hey, my eyesight is not very good, and he is running so fast, I really can't see that clearly. I vaguely remember that he seems to be wearing black... well, it's not black, but dark clothes and Pants."

"And the hat? What kind of hat?"

"It's the one with the eaves in front that you guys often wear..."

"A peaked cap?" Jiang Li said.

"That's right, it's that kind of hat."

"what colour?"

"It's also dark."

Seeing that the old lady couldn't remember more, Shen Yan turned to the old man: "Master, do you remember anything?"

The old man shook his head: "When I turned around, the man had already run away, I didn't look at it."

Seeing this, Shen Yan had no choice but to give up: "Okay, then thank you both."

Afterwards, the serious crime team questioned several witnesses, and the answers they got were similar. Only another woman in her 30s and [-]s also saw the fleeing suspect.However, being short-sighted, she remembered that the suspect was wearing a dark short-sleeved T-shirt and dark trousers, but she could not provide any more clues.However, judging from the description of the suspect's figure by the two witnesses, this person is very close to the murderer in the previous Berland case, and the two are likely to be the same person.

At this time, Cheng Jinsong came over: "We found some clues under the bridge, come and have a look."

Shen Yan nodded, and walked down the bridge with Jiang Li—they were in a section of the Xinkai River near the train station.The river bed here is only about ten meters wide, and there are three bridges built within a distance of about a hundred meters.Among them, the two bridges in the north and the south are built perpendicular to the river, which is a typical bridge-on-road bridge launching mode; only the bridge in the middle is built obliquely across the water. Not only that, but on the west side of the bridge, there is a two-three A path that is [-] meter wide can be used for people to walk under the bridge.According to eyewitness accounts, the deceased fell into the water from here.

Cheng Jinsong took Shen Yan along the path to the right under the bridge. Now there were three emergency lights, and the strong white light illuminated the originally dark bridge like daytime.The forensic team has obviously finished analyzing the place, and all the bloodstains on the ground have been marked.Cheng Jinsong pointed to the ground and explained to Shen Yan: "The blood on the ground is very messy, and most of them have traces of rubbing, indicating that the deceased did not lose consciousness immediately after being shot, and there should be a fight with the murderer. We speculate that the suspect either hid under the bridge in advance, or followed the deceased to this place... In short, when the deceased came here, the suspect fired a gun at the deceased from behind. But the blow did not make the deceased He died or lost consciousness on the spot. There was a fight between the two people here. But I guess the shot still caused a lot of damage to the deceased, so the people around did not hear his cries for help, and he fell After getting into the water, I couldn’t swim up.” At this point, Cheng Jinsong pointed to Jiang Ruiheng, who was busy at the side, “After Ruiheng finished the autopsy, I will test the composition of the nails of the deceased to see if I can find the murderer. skin tissue."

Shen Yan nodded.He looked at the corpse on the side, and then at the secluded surroundings, frowning deeply.
