last case
Chapter 7 The Ritual Begins 7
In fact, Chen Yancai really wanted to grab the boss right now and ask him quietly, "Is someone making you breakfast?", but the boss had already said something serious, so she had no choice but to suppress her curiosity.
Chen Wanting sat down, and everyone gathered together.
Tang Xin spoke first, and said: "The cause of death of the deceased should be excessive blood loss, but the body was too damaged. As for how it caused it, there is no way to check it out now. The time of death is about thirteen or four days. .”
Liu Zhihui immediately said, "Isn't the taxi ticket found in the deceased's wallet from thirteen days ago?"
Xie Jibai nodded, and said: "According to the description in the novel, it should be about the same day, what happened to the deceased."
When mentioning the taxi driver, Chen Yancai shook her head and said, "Yesterday, Team Ai and I went to find that taxi driver."
"Hey?" Chen Wanting couldn't help being surprised and said, "Congratulations, you won the lottery."
Chen Yancai rolled her eyes and continued: "The taxi driver is in his 40s and is a local. When we asked him, he didn't remember the deceased at all. Fortunately, the deceased issued an invoice and we can check the records. But ..."
The taxi company found the records at that time, and the driver did pull such an order that night, sending a woman to a coffee shop in the city center.Chen Yancai also went to the coffee shop to verify. It happened that there was a surveillance camera outside the coffee shop. Although it was not clear, it was always on.
The surveillance video recorded it very clearly. That night, there was indeed a taxi parked nearby, and a woman in a white dress stepped out of it, stepping on high heels and carrying a white bag on her shoulder.
She got out of the car, but did not enter the coffee shop, she walked forward, out of the range of the surveillance camera, and disappeared soon.
As for that taxi, the license plate is the one driven by the driver, so there should be nothing wrong with it.
Because the airport is not too far next to the coffee shop, the driver went to the airport to lie down after finishing the job.At night, there are many people waiting for the bus at the airport. The driver's work is full all night, and he has been carrying customers, so he has no time to commit crimes.
The taxi company was also very cooperative, and showed them all the taxi tickets that day. The car was equipped with a positioning system, and the route traveled could be seen. The driver did not lie.
Xie Ji Bai frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Did you ask the driver where the deceased got on the bus?"
"Of course I did." Chen Yancai said, "The driver said it was from the suburbs, not far from the highway."
The driver recalled it for a long time before he remembered that he took a job order that day and sent a student to a university town on the outskirts of the city. When he came back, the driver thought that there would be no traffic jams at night, so he didn't take the expressway, and there were still ten students left. The high-speed fee comes for [-] yuan.He didn't expect that halfway through the drive, there were still people taking a taxi in the wilderness to go to the coffee shop.
"No." Xie Jibai suddenly said, "Did the deceased not say anything about going to the police station?"
Chen Yancai said, "Yes, the driver said so."
Chen Yancai thought of the plot in the book at that time, and asked the driver the same question.The driver thought for a long time, finally remembered, and laughed for a long time.
The driver said that the woman was in a panic, and when she came up, she did say that someone was going to kill her and send her to the police station or something.The driver just heard that and felt that the woman was crazy.
Chen Yancai said: "The driver said that he didn't see anyone chasing the woman at the time. He thought that the woman was crazy and didn't want to drive her, but he drove after they got up. When he drove into the city, the woman suddenly said I went to a certain coffee shop. The driver didn’t know that coffee shop, and that woman pointed him the way.”
"Changed to the coffee shop on the way?" Xie Ji Bai repeated.
"Yes." Chen Yancai said, "The driver said he hadn't seen that woman since then. The next day he was off duty and went home. His wife and children were all at home, so they could testify to him. He slept for a long time. , I went to the supermarket with my wife in the afternoon, and then I didn’t leave the house.”
Liu Zhihui scratched his head, then turned to look at Qin Xu, Qin Xu was in a daze again, wondering if he was thinking.
Liu Zhihui said: "Then this person is not the murderer? Do you think the novel written by the murderer deliberately fooled us?"
Xie Jibai was still deep in thought, Chen Wanting sighed and said, "If you follow the novel, the possibility of the driver is the greatest."
"Although the novel was written by the murderer," Tang Xin said, "the murderer is not just recording a murder case, he is indeed writing a novel. The most important thing in novels of suspense and reasoning is to be in the 'reasonable Medium, unexpected'. I'm afraid we've overlooked something..."
Chen Wanting knocked on the table with his fingers, and asked, "Where is Bai Fumei?"
Liu Zhihui hurriedly said, "The woman Qin Xu and I went to find."
Bai Fumei is a good friend of Liu Yingbei, named Lin Letian.
Liu Zhihui said: "The deceased and Lin Letian not only met each other in middle school, but also came out of the same orphanage when they were young."
"They are all orphans?" Chen Yancai was a little surprised.
Liu Zhihui nodded and said, "But Lin Letian was adopted. The one who adopted her was a rich woman. Her husband died and she had no children. She was very kind to Lin Letian. But when Lin Letian was in high school, she was adopted. Her woman died of illness, so she left all her inheritance to Lin Letian. Lin Letian went abroad after studying in university for two years, and then lived abroad for a few years, and even made a boyfriend. But a few months ago, Her boyfriend died in a traffic accident. She was very sad and didn't want to stay abroad anymore, so she came back to China."
After hearing Lin Letian's story, everyone couldn't help raising their eyebrows.
Chen Yancai said dumbfounded: "Um, isn't she a bit... from the legendary Fang?"
"Cough, don't talk nonsense." Chen Wanting said.
Chen Yancai stuck out her tongue.
Tang Xin felt that, as a forensic doctor with a bright future and strong professionalism, he should be more earnest and serious during this discussion, but he was still attracted by Xie Jibai who was opposite him unconsciously.
While listening to everyone's report, Tang Xin casually glanced at Xie Jibai opposite.
Xie Jibai was listening to Liu Zhihui's words seriously at this moment, his brows were slightly frowned, he looked serious yet elegant, his crossed hands separated and fell together occasionally.
"cough!"
Chen Wanting suddenly coughed heavily and said, "What's the opinion of Forensic Doctor Tang?"
Tang Xin turned his head, and saw Chen Wanting's eyes that seemed to have insight into something.He didn't look embarrassed, he thought for a while and asked: "The deceased and Lin Letian, how did the two get in touch again?"
When Tang Xin asked this question, Xie Jibai's eyes flashed, and he said, "Yes, haven't they been in touch for a long time?"
"This little Qinzi asked Lin Letian at that time." Liu Zhihui said.
Qin Xu finally opened his mouth and said: "Lin Letian said that after returning to China, she came here and often went to a restaurant to eat, and suddenly met Liu Yingbei one day."
Liu Zhihui immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Lin Letian also said that Liu Yingbei recognized her first and called her by name. She just thought Liu Yingbei looked familiar, but she didn't dare to recognize her, saying that Liu Yingbei had changed too much."
It is true that Liu Yingbei had short hair before college, but she grew long hair in college, but it did not add points to her appearance, on the contrary she looked even more decadent.
Xie Jibai said, "Then did you ask where did Lin Letian go after the party with Liu Yingbei that day?"
The day Liu Yingbei died was after going to a party with Lin Letian.Logically speaking, it was already very late after the party, how could Liu Yingbei be alone in the suburbs suddenly?This is really strange.
And who was the person who was chasing her and trying to kill her?
Qin Xu said succinctly: "Lin Letian said that she didn't remember clearly, and she should have gone home to sleep."
Liu Zhihui continued: "We asked, and she said that no one was with her, and there were no witnesses."
"It seems that this Lin Letian will continue to investigate." Chen Wanting said.
Xie Jibai nodded, and said, "Boss, I'll go to the restaurant where Lin Letian and the deceased had a party first."
"I'll go with the deputy team." Tang Xin was an appropriate interface.
"...Okay." Chen Wanting seemed a little hesitant, but he still agreed, and said, "Liu Zhihui and Qin Xu will go and find out if the deceased had any contact with anyone before he died, and go to the deceased's house."
The two nodded.
"What about me? Boss, you won't let me go out again, will you?" Chen Yancai asked hastily.
Chen Wanting smiled and said, "What mission do you have as a civil servant? Stay here honestly and study those books carefully, you know? Maybe the murderer left some clues."
Chen Yancai: "..."
Chen Wanting said: "I'll go to the taxi company again. Why the deceased changed his words after getting in the car is also a strange place."
In order to comfort Chen Yancai's wounded heart, Chen Wanting added: "Send any findings to Chen Yancai in time, so that Chen Yancai can continue the investigation."
Everyone was assigned work, and they all set off immediately, and the office became empty again.
Xie Jibai and Tang Xin came out of the station. Xie Jibai sat in the co-pilot of the jeep very consciously, threw the car keys to Tang Xin, fastened his seat belt skillfully, and held the armrest inside the door with his right hand.
Tang Xin was taken aback, and sat in the driver's seat, but he didn't fasten his seat belt and didn't insert the car key.
He took off the gold-rimmed eyes, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said, "Deputy team, I just came back from abroad. I don't have a car book, so I can't drive."
Xie Ji Bai was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at him, and asked in a daze, "Then what should I do?"
Tang Xin said: "The deputy team can't drive?"
Xie Jibai's expression tightened, and he said, "No."
Tang Xin: "..." It seems that it is necessary to take the driving test quickly.
Xie Jibai said: "How about, if you go on missions with Liu Zhihui, he and Qin Xu will both be driving."
Tang Xin was a little reluctant, smiled gracefully, pointed at the jeep that had already sped away from the parking lot, and said, "It's too late."
The slightly dull expression appeared on Xie Jibai's face again, which made Tang Xin very interesting.
Tang Xin said, "How about taking a taxi?"
Xie Jibai got out of the car, put the car keys in his pocket, thought, why not take Chen Yancai, anyway, Tang Xin is actually a civil servant, similar to Chen Yancai.
But thinking of Chen Yancai's chatterbox when she was excited, and the excitement that she would never be on the same channel with him...
Xie Ji Bai was suddenly a little discouraged.
"Om" sound.
The cell phone in Xie Jibai's pocket vibrated. He usually turns on the vibrate and mutes the ringtone, lest the cell phone ring suddenly on inappropriate occasions.
Xie Jibai took it out, and the phone showed that a text message had been received, but the phone number was a bunch of random characters, it should be the kind of spam text message from the virtual network.
Xie Jibai was about to delete the text message, but he clicked it inadvertently, and opened the text message.
There is only a picture in the text message, nothing is drawn on the picture, it is just a gray color, and there is nothing else.
Xie Jibai's heart skipped a beat, this color reminded him of the covers of those novels.
"buzz"
Again.
It's still a text message from the virtual network, but the random characters are obviously different from before.
Another picture, no longer a gray picture, but a rather bloody one.
"Is it the dead?"
Seeing Xie Jibai's wide-eyed disbelieving face, Tang Xin glanced sideways and saw the photo on his phone.
In the photo, a dead body was lying on the ground, wearing a white dress, and a colored bag fell to the ground beside it.There was a large hole in the body made by a sharp weapon, and the ground was covered with blood, and there was no clean place to be seen.
The body was intact, undamaged, not what they found it to be.
"buzz"
The third beep sounded.
Xie Jibai and Tang Xin frowned almost at the same time, Xie Jibai immediately opened the text message, this time there was no picture, only four words...
- The ceremony begins.
Chen Wanting sat down, and everyone gathered together.
Tang Xin spoke first, and said: "The cause of death of the deceased should be excessive blood loss, but the body was too damaged. As for how it caused it, there is no way to check it out now. The time of death is about thirteen or four days. .”
