last case

"Whose phone is ringing?" Liu Zhihui couldn't help asking.

Xie Jibai's eyes widened a little, and he said firmly, "It's the dead man's cell phone."

Xie Jibai's answer did not make everyone feel at ease after clearing up the confusion, but instead they felt a chill rushing up their backs, and they all opened their eyes in disbelief.

Why did Xie Jibai know the cell phone number of the deceased? This may be the biggest question in their minds now.

The hoarse voice continued, Xie Ji Bai immediately turned around and got out of the cordon, and ran over looking for the sound.

It was an abandoned ruined wall. It looked like a warehouse or something, but it was dilapidated now.Half of the house was demolished, but for some unknown reason, the demolition did not go through to the end, so it was left halfway there.The crumbling half of the roof seemed to collapse at any moment.

"Qin Xu follows, you wait here." Chen Wanting's expression became serious, he quickly pulled out his gun, and caught up with Xie Jibai who was running ahead.

Qin Xu agreed and followed quickly.Although he is thin and tall, with a gentle and refined appearance, he is definitely a alert and capable person.

The dilapidated barn was pitch-black, and the strong sunlight outside was blocked by bricks and tiles. As soon as you stepped into the shadows, the temperature seemed to drop ten degrees, giving off a cool feeling.If the atmosphere wasn't too tense right now, this kind of temperature might make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Xie Jibai ran over, also holding the gun in his hand, he didn't know what was going on inside, it might be dangerous.

However, among the ruins, there was no one, not even a wild dog or cat. A lonely cell phone was lying on the ground, flickering on and making a hoarse sound.

Xie Ji Bai walked over slowly, his boots stepped on the ground and made a "da da" sound.He glanced at the phone in his hand, then pressed the end button.

The hoarse voice disappeared, and the mobile phone lying on the ground became quiet again, and it no longer flashed.

Xie Jibai bent down and picked up the phone.Looks like some cheap old phone with a shattered screen that seems to have been dropped pretty badly.

Chen Wanting and Qin Xu ran to him, everyone looked at each other, Chen Wanting said, "Look around."

There is a lot of dust between the ruined walls, there are traces of dragging on the ground, and it seems that there are still traces of struggle. The mobile phone of the deceased was also dropped here. I don’t know what else can be found.

It is true that there is no one here, but they found things other than mobile phones, a white leather bag with a pack of napkins, a small cosmetic bag, a wallet, and a bunch of keys.There were about 1000 yuan bills and a little change in the wallet, and nothing else, and no ID card.

Tang Xin had finished the preliminary examination of the corpse, and was instructing his colleagues to take the corpse back to the bureau for further examination.

Liu Zhihui waited a little anxiously, stretching his neck to keep looking at the dilapidated warehouse.

"Here we come, we're back." Liu Zhihui had good eyesight, and immediately said loudly when he saw the three people who came out of the shadows.

Tang Xin put his hands in his pockets, stared at them, and tilted his head to take a careful look at the things in Chen Wanting's hand.

They found a lot of evidence, all of which were packed in transparent evidence bags, and they brought them back with them.

Chen Wanting came over and asked, "How is the autopsy going?"

Tang Xin replied: "The preliminary inspection is over. The deceased should have been dead for more than ten days. The body is too damaged and needs to be brought back to the bureau for further inspection. The cause of death cannot be confirmed yet."

Chen Wanting said, "Forensics work?"

Liu Zhihui hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, everything is okay."

"Okay." Chen Wanting said, "Go back to the game first."

The road back to the bureau is long, especially when passing through the city center and there are some traffic jams.Xie Jibai's complexion was a little pale from the first time he saw the corpse, and now it doesn't seem to have eased up. Coupled with some motion sickness, he looks particularly haggard.

Tang Xin squinted his eyes, as if he was asleep, but he was secretly looking at Xie Ji Bai from the corner of his eye. There were many question marks in his mind, but he didn't speak.

When he arrived at the bureau, Chen Wanting answered a phone call, said a few words to Xie Jibai, and left in a hurry.

Liu Zhihui couldn't help but said, "The boss has been going crazy lately."

Xie Jibai said: "Let's go in, the boss probably won't come back today."

When everyone returned to the office, Chen Yancai was the first to jump out from the computer and said, "You guys are back, it's too late!"

Liu Zhihui said, "No way, traffic jam."

Chen Yancai said: "Deputy team, I checked the phone number, but I didn't find anything at all."

"The phone number of the deceased?" Tang Xin raised his eyebrows.

Chen Yancai nodded, and said, "The arc number has not been registered with a real name, and it was bought from a newspaper. It has not been used for a long time. If you want to check it, you need to retrieve the call records."

Xie Jibai said, "Continue to investigate."

Chen Yancai nodded.

Everyone sat around, and the evidence was put together with the novels with gray covers.

Liu Zhihui asked cautiously: "Deputy Captain, do you know the deceased?"

Xie Ji Bai was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."

"Then how did you know the dead man's phone number?" Liu Zhihui heaved a sigh of relief. The dead man died so badly. If the deputy team knew the dead man, he wouldn't know how to comfort him.

Xie Jibai pulled out the No.11 volume of the novel, and then quickly turned the pages. His white-gloved fingers were constantly beating, and with a sudden tap, he flattened the book and pushed it in front of everyone.

A string of numbers, eleven digits, is a phone number.

"This..." Liu Zhihui stared, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Tang Xin frowned.

Volume No. 11 of the novel only appeared today, and no one has read it except Xie Jibai. They don't know that there is a string of phone numbers in the book.

Xie Jibai flicked the string of numbers with his finger, and said: "When I saw this string of phone numbers in the morning, I also had a lot of doubts in my heart. I immediately dialed this number, but no one answered the phone. I was at Think, is this phone number randomly written by the murderer, or..."

Before Xie Jibai had time to ask someone to check the phone number carefully, things happened one after another.When they saw the deceased and talked about the mobile phone of the deceased, Xie Ji Bai suddenly thought of this string of numbers again.

He dialed the string of numbers from memory, but still no one answered, but the phone rang around them.

Chen Yancai said: "The murderer is so strange that he left us the phone number of the deceased. Isn't this a big clue?"

Not only that, they also found the deceased's bag, which contained a wallet. Although there was no ID card or bank card in the wallet, there was some money, and most importantly, a taxi receipt.

Xie Jibai said, "Sister Chen, check this taxi ticket again."

Chen Yancai took it and looked down. It was a taxi ticket from thirteen days ago, and the time was 23:[-] in the evening.

"This is easy." Chen Yancai said.

According to the taxi ticket, they quickly found the taxi at that time.As for the mobile phone number, there was a little trouble, but it was not a big deal, and the identity of the deceased was quickly confirmed.

A 26-year-old woman, not a native of City C, named Liu Yingbei, graduated from university less than three years ago, and came to City C at the beginning of this year, less than half a year ago.

Liu Yingbei is an orphan with no relatives at all, and has never found a stable job after arriving in C City. When she first came, she found two jobs, but she didn't go back after working for two days.She lives in a rental house in the outer suburbs, and she lives alone, and there are no people living with her.

Her cell phone is very worn out, an ancient touchscreen phone with very little memory and almost nothing in it.Most of the information boxes, phone books and emails are spam text messages and sales calls, and there are very few useful communication calls.

City C is a strange city to her, and she is also a stranger to City C.Liu Yingbei should be a cowardly person, even extremely inferior in heart, and doesn't like to greet others.

They obtained some information about Liu Yingbei, including some photos of Liu Yingbei when she was in school. She always stood in the most inconspicuous place, the darkest place.

Tang Xin went to do a further autopsy, Chen Yancai was still checking Liu Yingbei's call records and text messages, Xie Jibai was studying those books, Qin Xu was sitting on the sidelines thinking, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only Liu Zhihui walked up and down, scratching his head and looking like he couldn't sit still.After he sent all the evidence to his colleagues for inspection, there was nothing else to do.

Liu Zhihui walked around countless times, and suddenly Qin Xu raised his head, staring at him leisurely.

Liu Zhihui's back felt a little chilled by the look, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"If you are energetic, you can go outside for a couple of laps," Qin Xu said.

Liu Zhihui smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I'm just a little anxious. Sister Chen, how's the news going? I'm just freaking out when I have nothing to do."

Chen Yancai's fingers fluttered, and the "crack" sound of the keyboard was extremely rhythmic, as if she was playing the piano.

Chen Yancai rolled her eyes and didn't reply him immediately. After 2 minutes, the sound of typing finally stopped and said, "I've checked everything."

Xie Ji Bai raised his head and asked, "How is it?"

Chen Yancai said: "80.00% of them are spam text messages and sales calls, but I found out that Liu Yingbei has called a number several times recently, and there are also text messages."

"Oh? Who is it?" Liu Zhihui asked.

"It's a woman, 25 years old, Bai Fumei." Chen Yancai took out a piece of paper from the printer, slapped it on the table, and said, "It's this woman, who is in City C right now, and is Liu Yingbei's high school classmate. She just came back from abroad. The one mentioned in the novel, the long-lost and reunited old friend who had dinner with Liu Yingbei, should be her. Liu Yingbei's last call was her calling this Bai Fumei to confirm the place and time of the meal."

Xie Jibai stood up and said, "Qin Xu, Liu Zhihui."

When Qin Xu heard Xie Jibai call him, he immediately sat up straight.

Liu Zhihui said loudly: "Yes!"

"You go to this woman now and ask about what happened to Liu Yingbei before her accident." Xie Jibai said.

"Okay." The two agreed together, and then hurried away together without stopping for a moment.

"What about me?" Chen Yancai became excited and pointed to her nose.

Xie Jibai said: "Come with me to find that taxi driver and ask."

According to the narrative in the novel, the taxi driver who picked up Liu Yingbei was highly suspected of murder.However, they don't know the murderer's motive for killing, and they don't have the slightest evidence, so they can't confirm the murder just because of what the murderer left behind.

Chen Yancai immediately jumped up, and ran out of the office after Xie Jibai.

But as soon as they left the office, they bumped into the director.

As soon as Director Duan saw Xie Jibai, he immediately extended his hand to greet him, and said, "Come on, Xiao Xie, I was just going to find you, and I have something to discuss with you."

When Xie Jibai heard this, he turned to look at Chen Yancai.

Chen Yancai immediately said: "Deputy team, or I will go by myself."

Xie Jibai frowned and said, "Let's wait for me."

Chen Yancai said: "Don't worry, I can handle it by myself, you have to trust me as the deputy team." She patted her chest as she spoke.

Director Duan heard that he was on a mission. He happened to see Captain Ai from Team A next door passing by. He raised his hand and stopped him, saying, "Xiao Ai just came. I have something to do with Xiao Xie, so you follow Xiao Ai." Chen, let's go out on a mission together."

Chen Yancai was a little reluctant at the first sight, but she had already opened her mouth, and she couldn't protest, so she went with Captain Ai who was also reluctant.

Xie Jibai followed Duan Ju into the office, and the two of them talked for a long time, but basically Duan Ju was talking unilaterally, and it was really earnest.

When they came out, it was already dark outside, and there were lights on in the passage, and occasionally one or two police officers passed by.

A man in a white coat happened to walk over from the opposite side. The simple white coat made him look like a fashion.

Tang Xin was a little surprised to see Xie Jibai here, and said, "Deputy team, I'm about to bring you the report."

"Xiao Tang, just in time!" Duan Ju smiled happily, and said, "You came just in time, I have already told Xiao Xie, I have already asked Xiao Xie, you, follow Xiao Xie home, live In his house."

Tang Xin was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Live at the deputy team's house?"

Duan Ju nodded and said, "You just arrived in City C today, and you've been busy all day, so you must have not found a good place to stay?"

Tang Xin nodded and said, "However, I can find a nearby hotel and stay at the deputy team's house. I'm afraid it will be too much trouble for him."

When Tang Xin spoke, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes turned to Xie Jibai. The second half of his sentence didn't sound sincere.

Duan Ju sneered, pulled Tang Xin aside, and said, "You brat, don't think I don't know, you're going to stay in a hotel? I'm afraid you'll go to a nightclub to fool around. I'm looking for someone to watch over you, Xiao Xie If you are single, you also live alone, which is more convenient, but your father entrusted me to keep an eye on you."

"Duan Ju..." Tang Xin was a little helpless, and said, "Don't listen to my dad talking nonsense, I'm not that kind of person."

Duan Ju patted him on the back and said: "That's it. I told Xiao Xie that I will bring you here at work and leave after work. You are forbidden to go to bars and nightclubs. Don't take women Take it to Xiao Xie's house, do you hear me?"

Tang Xin raised his eyebrows, took off his gold-rimmed eyes, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course." Duan Ju said, "Xiao Xie has already agreed."

Tang Xin smiled, walked up to Xie Jibai, and said, "Deputy team, I will trouble you later."
