Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

The man in black rolled beautifully and landed on the lawn outside the art gallery.This was probably the escape route that the other party had planned long ago. A motorcycle was parked not far away, and when Yan Jingjing chased him out, he had already disappeared in the night.

"Team leader?" The young policewoman looked around, and it took a long time to find Xia Yi hanging on the guardrail on the third floor. She was shocked and screamed, "Why did you hang there?! I, I, and I will open it for you." Window, you, you, don't fall down!!!"

Xia Yi: "..."

He closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: You didn't see anything, you didn't see anything, you didn't see anything.

When Xia Yi climbed back the same way, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.Don't say how aggrieved I was when I was put on like this.He immediately contacted the local police station and adjusted traffic monitoring to investigate the whereabouts of the motorcycle.

At the same time, Yan Jingjing took Xia Yi to Area C: "Team leader, team leader, that person spilled a picture."

"What painting?"

Xia Yi was even more strange.This person does not steal or steal, but chooses to use sulfuric acid to destroy, what is he trying to do?

The sulfuric acid only splashed off 6-70% of the center of the painting, and some edges and corners can still be seen.Xia Yi could recognize that those were small photos one by one.

Ji Tong also seemed puzzled.She explained to Xia Yi that this painting is part of the mourning activities, and the whole painting is a montage spelled out from the photos of the 12 passengers who died on the Penglai Princess.

An absurd thought floated up in Xia Yi's heart—could it be that all this was related to the explosion of the Penglai Princess last year?

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Mo scolded his head and face, "You are not in the bureau, and you didn't answer the phone for a long time. Where did you die?!"

Xia Yixin said that I couldn't pick up the one who was flying around the wall in the middle of the night!

But before he opened his mouth, Jiang Mo continued, "Let me see you at the Municipal Bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Zhao Chunhua has finally confessed. The motive, method, witnesses, and physical evidence are complete. We can submit the materials for inspection gone."

Xia Yi was stunned: "How is Quanfa?"

Zhao Chunhua's plea is a big deal.

Xia Yi temporarily referred the matter of the art museum to the local police station.Early the next morning, he hurried to the City Bureau again.After listening to Zhao Chunhua's confession, his jaw almost dropped to the table.

It's true that Zhao Chunhua usually steals some sleeping pills, but she just prepared them for a rainy day, and she really didn't want to hurt Mr. Xu in the past.

Two months ago, before Mr. Xu entered the ICU for the last time, he could not speak, but he was still awake, and occasionally wrote to communicate with his family.I don't know if the old man is very satisfied with Zhao Chunhua's care, or he is disappointed with the two sons' disregard and stealing of the inheritance. He suddenly revised his will in handwriting, leaving the two big houses under his name to Zhao Chunhua , to thank her for her company and care in her later years.

That set is a mansion in the center of Yan'an City, and the other set is a holiday villa in a surrounding tourist attraction.

When the two sons of the Xu family heard this, how could they agree?As a result, before the incident was over, the old man was completely unconscious.Xu Huahao found a lawyer, and privately threatened Zhao Chunhua to give up the will, otherwise she and her husband who worked outside would have to "die badly".

Xu Huahao has a lot of money and power, so Zhao Chunhua is naturally no match.So, on the surface, she gave up on this matter, but she kept holding her breath in her heart.What is the concept if you can get those two houses?One set can bring the family to a big city, and the other set can be rented out for the rest of your life without worrying about eating and drinking.Can she be convinced?

The more Zhao Chunhua thought about it, the more angry she became, and when she happened to hear that Yuan Yongfang was preparing for the barbecue that day, she became malicious.She naively thought that by solving Xu Huahao, she would have her share in the will.

After careful calculation, Zhao Chunhua took care of Mr. Xu for less than a year, and this will is unbelievable.

It just so happened that the second son of the Xu family, Xu Huayu, Xu Huahao's younger brother, finally flew back from a business trip.Both he and Xu's lawyer can prove the existence of the will.

Mr. Xu's own handwriting had been burned by Xu Huahao long ago, but according to Zhao Chunhua's confession, the police found a copy of the will at her home, and there were still photos of the original in her mobile phone.

Afterwards, Shao Lin heard it, and almost choked himself with a sip of coffee: "Zhao Chunhua?! It can't be Zhao Chunhua."

"But according to the evidence, she didn't run away."

"How did she go back to the community on Saturday?"

"We were misled - we always believed that this 'fourth person' only went to Xu's house on Saturday. Surveillance filmed Zhao Chunhua leaving Xicheng Huajin on the battery until [-] pm on Friday. Before that, she told us that she went home Actually not. She said now that she was just helping her family to buy barbecue seasoning in Luhuawan Town. The mountain road behind her house happened to be a shortcut connecting the Huajin villa area in Xicheng and the supermarket in the center of Luhuawan Town. So, on Friday night, she rode her bike out of the complex, parked the car in the town, and walked back on a side road. It didn’t rain on Friday night, and the road was dry, so she left no trace.”

Shao Lin frowned deeply and listened quietly.

"Zhao Chunhua was at Xu's house all Saturday. Of course, she didn't participate in the barbecue. However, she had seen Xu's barbecue many times before, so she knew that this family used to drink peanut milk after barbecue. So, in Zhao Chunhua When helping people clean the food, she quietly put the medicine in the drink. She also said that Yuan Yongfang always asked her to wear gloves when handling the food, so no trace was left on the drink bottle."

Xia Yi continued: "After she poured out the human medicine, she began to burn charcoal. At the same time, she took a photo with Xu Heguang's mobile phone and sent it to Ji Tong, just to mislead the police. In the end, she took away the seafood that was posed and shut it down." Turn off the range hood, seal the doors and windows, make sure no one wakes up after a few hours, and then leave through the mountain road in the rain. Early the next morning, after Mr. Xu's alarm sounded, she rode a battery car back to the villa."

Shao Lin raised his eyebrows: "These details... are all Zhao Chunhua's own words?"

"That's right. After 72 hours in the detention center, I finally spoke up."

Shao Lin didn't hide the suspicion in his eyes at all: "Aside from the police, who else did she meet?"

"lawyer."

"Is there a recording?"

"The meetings between lawyers and clients in the detention center are not recorded, but we have videos, so there is nothing wrong with watching them?"

After a while, Shao Lin slowly uttered a sentence: "Strange."

"I also think it's strange," Xia Yi's eyes were blank, "Mr. Xu's will was made too casually, right?"

"No. That's not what I'm surprised about." Shao Lin frowned, "Do you still remember what I told you—the sense of disobedience? At the time of the crime, the person who could think of taking photos and sending them to Ji Tong as perjury witnesses was thinking Extremely meticulous, calm and reserved. Since the photo with the bracelet was taken for the police, it is impossible for such a meticulous person to be greedy for a moment and make himself the focus of the police in order to steal jewelry. Suppose Zhao Chunhua was photographed The person in the photo, she knows that there is a bracelet in the photo, so why would she steal it? Even if she only steals the necklace and not the bracelet, she is better than she is now."

"You tell me now that the two things were done by the same person, I don't believe it."

Xia Yi scratched her head, and said in a low voice that yours is only based on speculation, but the case needs to be based on evidence.Now Zhao Chunhua herself admits to the murder, and the witnesses and material evidence are all there, so it can't be cleaned up at all.

"You mean, you suspect that Zhao Chunhua is taking the blame for the real murderer?" Xia Yi said, "We checked Zhao Chunhua's records again, but there is no problem for the time being. She, and her husband, have not paid any extra attention recently. Income. Then you say, what is the purpose of taking the blame for others? Such a big blame, it is estimated that it will be shot, there is no benefit, right? "

Shao Lin fell silent, and kept pouring coffee for himself.He drank that big cup of American-style clear coffee as if he was drinking water.

Xia Yi's eyes fell on his face, and he suddenly noticed that Shao Lin's eyes were dark and black, as if he didn't sleep well last night.

Just like crows can smell death and wolves can smell blood, Xia Yi occasionally has some weird intuitions.Those intuitions, even if they cannot be supported by evidence for a while, are often surprisingly accurate.For example, now, for no reason, he felt that Shao Lin reminded him of the man in black he met in the art gallery last night.

Not only does the body shape match, Shao Lin's facial features are also very three-dimensional.Although he now wears black-rimmed glasses, which makes the overall outline much gentler and more peaceful, but if you look closely, you can still find the sharp and sharp feeling hidden under the glasses.

However, Shao Lin has always given Xia Yi a feeling of sluggishness and even an unbalanced cerebellum... Moreover, his eyes are dark brown.And last night, that person's amber eyes were amazingly bright under the LED light.

Xia Yi once again saw the moment when the man turned around, as well as the vigorous figure leaping down into the night.

Will it be alone?

This is so strange.

Xia Yi has always been quicker than his brain, and without thinking, he blurted out: "What did you do last night?"

Shao Lin was still immersed in Zhao Chunhua's case, and glanced at him in confusion: "Huh?"

"You look sleepy," Xia Yi shrugged casually, "didn't you sleep well last night?"

Shao Lin gave a muffled "hmm": "I slept a little late."

"Oh? Why did you go?" Xia Yi joked teasingly, "Is Mr. Shao a rich nightlife?"

Shao Lin blinked gently: "What does my night life have to do with you?"

"I——" Xia Yi paused, her smile was too attentive, but it was a bit of a cover-up, "I don't have a night life! Hehehe, I'm just curious. It's boring to be alone at night. If you don't work overtime, you'll be fine. Do it, just ask casually?"

Shao Lin raised his head and drank the last sip of coffee, very refreshingly: "If you want to ask me out at night, you can just say so."

Xia Yi's expression immediately petrified, and he said in his heart: Wait, this topic is going wrong?Why did you suddenly have an appointment at night?What's going on in this person's head?No, is he suggesting that I ask him out?So, does he want me to ask him out at night?But what are you doing at night?Going to the nightlife? ? ?

Police officer Xiao Xia froze for a moment in his mind, his face blushed a little, and he was dumbfounded: "...Appointment, what is the appointment?"

Shao Lin glared at him as if seeing a ghost: "Are you talking about the case?"

Xia Yi: "..."

"I'm going back, thank you for telling me the progress." Shao Lin threw the empty cup into the trash can, put his hands back in his pockets, and ended Xia's routine in this way.

Xia Yi stared at Shao Lin's back, and suddenly felt more and more like him.

correct!He suddenly remembered—the man had a black rose tattoo on his left side!Xia Yi jumped up again.It's easy now, just check if there is a tattoo on Shao Lin's waist, don't you know the answer?

With this in mind, his eyes fell on Shao Lin's waist again. The soft beige knitted sweater looked gentle and harmless, and even gave off a slender feeling, which made it hard for Xia Yi to imagine that this man could have such powerful explosive power.

He watched Shao Lin walk back to the psychological office opposite the sub-bureau, thinking in his heart: How can I let him show his side again?Day, you can't just go up and pick up people's pants, that's so uncivilized!

Or, ask someone to go swimming?

No, no, it's only May, and the outdoor swimming pool hasn't opened yet. Isn't it too early?Seems more normal to wait until June...?

But that suspicion was like a thorn in his heart, tickling Xia Yi.Until a small leaflet was stuffed into his hand, Police Officer Xiao Xia felt blessed——

Not far from their branch office, a new sauna and hot spring experience hall opened.The characteristic medicine hot spring is said to be able to dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.The police officers work hard. After years and months, they suffer from back pain and leg pain. What's more, the newly opened experience center has a gratifying discount and fits the budget. Xia Yi waved his hand and said that Zhao Chunhua's case has just been closed. Go to a spa.

The only downside to this plan is that...

Shao Lin rejected him bluntly: "I won't go."

Xia Yi had deeper doubts in his heart, but he kept talking like a cannonball: "Why? Everyone in the group is going this time, and you have contributed a lot. Why don't you come together? I'll treat you! Oh, by the way, do you still remember Director Yu? ? As for the coffin-faced forensic doctor with the air conditioner in the mortuary cabinet, he really thanked you this time, and wanted to find a chance to chat with you to save face, huh?"

Shao Lin didn't want to say that he was afraid of water, so he made up an excuse: "...but I can't swim."

"You can go there even if you can't swim?" Xia Yi was surprised, "Let's soak in the hot springs, not swim in the hot springs? Don't worry, you won't drown!"

Shao Lin: "..."

Seeing that the person still didn't agree, Xia Yi blinked aggrievedly: "I see. Well, you just find me annoying and don't want to play with me."

Again.

Shao Lin couldn't bear his staring eyes the most, so he disarmed on the spot: "...All right, I'll go."

Xia Yi was very happy in his heart: soaking in hot springs, it won't be wrapped into rice dumplings, right?

totally unexpected……

On the day of the hot spring team building, Xia Yi stared at Shao Lin's high-waisted swimming trunks with dull eyes.

The hot spring shop is filled with the smell of wet herbs. In the dense water vapor, the soup pools are separated by the artificial mountain bamboo forest.

Because the little girls in the back office disliked the smell of men's sweat and didn't want to soak their feet in the water, but insisted on taking a bath with fairy roses alone, Xia Yi was forced to make two soup pools, separated by men and women, separated by a rockery fence wall.

Everyone changed into swimsuits and squatted in the pool in twos and threes chatting.

On the Rose Pond side, Jiang Mo pulled Yan Jingjing, squatted on the edge of the fence cunningly, stared at the next door, and muttered: "We two field workers should go there."

"Mr. Jiang, can we stop here and take a peek? It's really weird and looks like two perverts who are dissatisfied with their desires..." Yan Jingjing lowered her voice, her face was tangled, and she was about to slip away but was caught by Jiang Mo. Take arms.

"Shhh—watch with my sister for a while longer," Jiang Mo smiled, narrowing her long and narrow eyes slightly, "I don't want to be a pervert by myself?"

Yan Jingjing: "..."

"What's so interesting about a bunch of stinky men." The little girl curled her lips.

Jiang Mo cupped her face: "Ah—Director Yu—tsk, look at his sexy collarbone, it's so deep, hehe."

Yan Jingjing: "..."

She swept over Yu Min with little interest, and her eyes fell on Shao Lin.Suddenly, Yan Jingjing's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some magical new world: "Vice Jiang, what do you think our team leader is looking at?"

Jiang Mo threw herself on Yu Min with all her heart, that Xia Yi was a lump of flesh, she was at a loss when she heard this, "Huh?"

Yan Jingjing's criminal police radar suddenly went online: "I, I think he seems to be watching... Mr. Shao...'s fat times???"

Shao Lin was also very troubled.

He stared at Xia Yi helplessly: "Why do you keep looking at me?" A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he swallowed the words "my swimming trunks".

Xia's smile was exaggerated a little too much: "I just think this, this ten-centimeter-wide thing on your waist is quite novel. I just thought of girls' high-waisted jeans. Why, swimming trunks are so popular now Are you wearing it? Hahahahaha!"

Shao Lin: "..."

He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to agree to Xia Yi's participation in this troublesome event.commit crimes.

Just like that, Shao Lin quietly moved himself to Yu Min's side, deliberately separated half a pond from Xia.Yu Min doesn't talk much, so he can avoid many unnecessary social interactions.Sure enough, the expressionless forensic doctor raised his eyes to look at him, nodded his head, and considered that he had asked.

At the same time, Xia Yi was beating a small drum in his heart——Shao ​​Lin looked "undressed and fleshy" than usual. There were many places on his back that could not be practiced, and his muscles were very strong. He was not at all like a white-collar worker who worked at his desk every day.So, his suspicions deepened.However, the damn wide belt on Shao Lin's swimming trunks almost reached the belly button, hiding his entire waist, so he couldn't see it at all!

Shao Lin pestered in the soup pool for a while, and gradually began to feel tormented.

Water makes him feel anxious.

Especially after the water is deep, there is a faint blue color.

Shao Lin took a deep breath and silently comforted himself in his heart: it's just a desensitization practice.

Relax.

You are safe and relaxed.

However, anxiety is a weird emotion, and the more people think about it, the more anxious they often become uncontrollably.Shao Lin felt that he was breathing faster and faster, but in this scorching air, there seemed to be not enough oxygen...

He clenched his fists subconsciously, trying to control his breathing.

At the same time, Xia Yi buried himself underwater and opened his eyes in the water.

He was still peeking at Shao Lin.

Everyone in the pool is very relaxed, looking from the water, there are any postures.Only Shao Lin stood like a rockery, his whole body was tense... So, Xia Yi was even more suspicious now - why is Shao Lin so nervous?Was he worried about being discovered?

After soaking for about [-] minutes, Yu Min got up first, said it was too hot, and left first.Shao Lin immediately thanked God from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly followed, saying that it was such a coincidence, Director Yu, let's go together.

As soon as Xia Yi saw Shao Lin leaving, he quickly got up and chased after him.

Public bathroom!His last chance!

However, when he rushed into the bathroom like a gust of wind, Shao Lin just walked into one of the few single cubicles holding sanitary products.He gave Xia Yi a hard look with "Are you sick?", and then closed the door with a "bang".

Poor Xia Yi held a piece of soap in his hand, stood at the door, and was splashed with water.

Xia can't hide things from the bottom of his heart.

The man in black was never found.The Art Museum is located in a remote location in the new district.That district has only been developed in recent years, a lot of land is still vacant, and the monitoring network is not perfect.In addition, the people at the police station were very careless, and ignored the lost motorcycle. The reason was that the amount involved in the case did not exceed 500, and the damaged things were not very valuable.In the end, that was the end of it.

But with the skill of the man in black, Xia Yi knew that it was not that simple.

In the end...could it be Shao Lin?

When changing clothes, it happened that Yu Min's locker was next to him, Xia Yi couldn't help but tilt his head, mysteriously: "Director Yu, I want to ask you a question."

Yu Min raised her eyelids, motioning for him to ask.

"I stared at a person's swimming trunks for a long time," Xia Yi lowered his voice, "First of all, I'm not a wretched man, I also look at men. Anyway, I just stared at the person's swimming trunks, and he suddenly became nervous , seems to be a little afraid of me! Is this reaction... normal?"

Yu Min put on her rose gold-rimmed glasses, and took a look at Xia Yi, as if she was looking at some plague-infested animal.

Xia didn't notice it, and asked as if eager to prove something: "For example, if I stare at your swimming trunks for a long time, you will definitely not be nervous, right?"

"Never mind being nervous." Yu Min turned around and said slowly, "But I'm worried, do you want to gay me?"

Xia Yi was startled: "Damn!"

So, Shao Lin was nervous...or maybe...because of this? ? ?

"Then, then, should I explain it to someone? I don't mean it at all?"

"It's not necessary."

Yu Min closed the locker door heavily.

Just as Zhao Chunhua's case was sorted out and was about to be handed over to the procuratorate, people from the Eastern District Bureau suddenly came to the door with a case.

In the slideshow, a headshot popped up.It was a young woman with an oval face, smoky makeup, exaggerated false eyelashes, flaming red lips, and the appearance of a "Gothic society sister".

"Wang Nini, 26 years old, works to put it mildly, is a nightclub special service worker, nicknamed Linda. Two years ago, she was sent to the detention center for staining leaves. Yesterday morning, Wang Nini's roommate came to report, saying that Wang Nini lost contact the night before, maybe Something has happened."

Xia Yi found it strange when she heard it - first of all, adults who disappeared for less than 48 hours were mostly not accepted, let alone the special profession of young lady.Most people will come back by themselves every few days, but cross-regional linkage must be a big deal.

"Her roommate is very sure that something happened to Wang Nini. There are two reasons." The police officer in the East District introduced, "First, Wang Nini's family is very poor and usually eats dirt, but in the past week, she bought a lot of expensive cosmetics, shoes and bags. But she refused to tell her roommate where the money came from. Second, before she disappeared, Wang Nini had a big fight with the richest benefactor in her hand, and even sweared at each other. She told her roommate that she would never I need this dirty money, and I confessed that I have a "business" in my hand, and I will treat her to a big meal when I come back. However, Wang Nini completely lost contact after leaving, and the mobile phone couldn't get through, let alone the big meal, until the next day. There was no one in sight, so her roommate called the police."

"Because Wang Nini has a previous record of drug abuse, we suspected at first that she was involved in a certain drug transaction, so we took it very seriously, but after searching, we did not find her connection with the drug dealer network, but found a very strange clue, which may be related to yours. It is related to the case of Xicheng Huajin.” The policeman in the East District paused, and then cut another slide, “We checked the search records of Wang Nini’s laptop. She can be said to be a person who never reads the news, but she has been paying attention to it recently. In the case of a family of three in the Furun Group, the most frequently searched term is 'Ji Tong'."

"We asked the reporter whether Wang Nini has been acting strangely recently. Her roommate mentioned one point - last week, Wang Nini, who has always been a goth queen, dyed her hair back to dark chestnut, and also bleached two golden braids separately , but Wang Nini did this for two days and cut her hair again, which made her feel a little strange. My roommate asked at the time, and Wang Nini said that the benefactor liked it. However, we happened to see photos of Ji Tong participating in the event..."

Xia Yi slapped his thigh.Dark chestnut wavy shawl, two golden braids, isn't this Ji Tong's daily hairstyle?

"I——" Yan Jingjing stood up abruptly, only feeling the cold behind her, "I went to get the video of the Meijiali shopping mall! At that time, I asked the cashier if he had seen this person with Ji Tong's photo, and she said I insist that I have seen it before, because I was so impressed by the golden braids! Because the cashier correctly described the clothes Ji Tong was wearing that day, so I didn't suspect it at all!"

But now it seems that Ji Tong may have forged his alibi.

Assume that Ji Tong gave Wang Nini a large sum of money and asked her to dress up as himself. On the night when Xu Huahao's family had an accident, he took his mobile phone and went around Megari. As for Ji Tong himself...

Most likely at the scene of the crime!
