Super Time Detective

In fact, when Ye Huairui confirmed that the "transparent person" who was talking to him was Yin Jiaming, he already believed that person was innocent.

But to believe is to believe, and things that should be certain still need to be certain.

"Where are you in the early morning of the 21st?"

Ye Huairui asked Yin Jiaming.

In the early morning of the 21st, which was the time when the robbery happened, forensic doctor Ye wanted to determine the specific whereabouts of Yin Jiaming.

Yin Jiaming gave a wry smile "ha".

[Oh, on the night of the 20th, I was at home watching the game alone. 】

Mentioning this, Young Master Yin felt that he was a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering.

[Usually, at that time, I would either be in the hotel to deal with messy trivial matters, or drink and eat supper with a few brothers, and there were probably people around me.But only that day, I thought about going home early to watch the game, and I got home after eight o'clock. 】

Yin Jiaming recalled:

【Then I watched the game, drank some wine, and fell asleep around eleven o'clock...】

"Is there no one else in your house that night? Like a nanny or a servant?"

Ye Huairui asked:

"Also, did you run into security guards, neighbors, or anyone else who could prove your whereabouts when you came home?"

[I used to have a worker at home who was responsible for cooking and cleaning for me. 】

Yin Jiaming had actually thought about this question a long time ago, so he answered very simply.

[But half a month ago when she was out shopping for groceries, she was hit by a car and broke a leg, so I asked her to go home to recuperate.Anyway, I am full and the whole family is not hungry, so why can't I live?It doesn’t really matter if there are workers or not…]

Yin Jiaming said:

[As for the others... When I got home, I bought a bowl of offal at the street corner, and the stall owner recognized me.But it was just after eight o'clock, so it's not an 'alibi', is it? 】

Having said that, Yin Jiaming sighed deeply, feeling that he really died unjustly.

[I just slept in my own home for one night, and when I woke up, I turned out to be a robber and murderer! 】

"Wait a moment."

Ye Huairui called to stop.

He read the records left by the Jincheng police in the file, including the specific address of Yin Jiaming's residence at that time.

"If you really have nothing to do with the case, you should be sleeping in your own home from the early morning of the 21st to dawn... Then, why did you escape in time instead of being blocked by the police at home?"

Yin Jiaming heard the suspicion in Ye Huairui's tone, and was stunned for two seconds.

【A Rui... Are you a policeman? 】

he asked tentatively.

Ye Huairui's tone was serious, and he didn't mean to let the other party change the topic at all:

"You answer my question first."

【All right, all right. 】

Yin Jiaming surrendered.

It is rare that there is someone who is willing to trust him and can discuss with him. Young Master Yin is afraid that if his words flicker and arouse the other party's suspicion, if he accidentally loses his popularity, he will really have no one to talk to.

【About four o'clock in the morning, someone called my home...】

Next, Yin Jiaming explained to Ye Huairui what happened that night.

On the 20th, Young Master Yin drank some wine after watching the game. After washing up, he went to bed early.

Just when he was in a drowsy sleep, half asleep, he heard the phone ring.

Yin Jiaming got up and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was about a quarter past four in the morning.

In fact, as the general manager of a hotel with both entertainment and gaming properties, in the chaotic period of law and order in the 80s, there were a lot of messy emergencies that had to be dealt with.

Yin Jiaming was afraid that something might happen to the hotel, so he quickly got up and answered the phone.

On the phone, someone told him that the Fushou Branch of Dah Sing Bank just had a robbery and homicide case, someone reported you as a robber, if you don't want to be caught, you should run away.

The man on the other end of the phone deliberately lowered his voice, and Yin Jiaming couldn't recognize the identity of the other party for a while, but the nature of the robbery and murder was not trivial, it didn't look like a prank at all, and immediately put Yin Jiaming, who was still a little sleepy, Totally woke up with a fright.

Young Master Yin has been in Jincheng for these years, he is usually bright and generous, and he is righteous. Naturally, he has many friends, and he has some friendship with both black and white.

He felt that some friend on his white road got the news and gave himself a thorough understanding in advance so that he would have time to run away...

"So you ran away?"

Ye Huairui frowned deeply and asked:

"He hid directly in the secret room?"

【Hi, no! 】

Yin Jiaming heard the disapproval in Ye Huairui's tone, and quickly defended himself:

[I just found a place nearby and planned to hide for a while.Later, when the case was shown on TV, I realized that the matter was more serious than I thought. If I got caught, wouldn't I have to be a scapegoat? 】

Ye Huairui frowned even tighter: "And then?"

Yin Jiaming replied angrily:

【I contacted Lele and hid in this secret room. 】

Ye Huairui asked:

"Have you been in the Chamber of Secrets?"

Yin Jiaming answered honestly:

[I occasionally sneak upstairs in the middle of the night, after all, the basement is too cramped...]

Seeing Ye Huairui's silence, he immediately added:

[But I have always been careful!Absolutely will not be found! 】

Ye Huairui asked again:

"Then besides yourself and 'Lele', does anyone else know you're here?"

In the files he had read, the Jincheng police finally found Yin Jiaming "received a report from an informant", but as for who the "informant" was and how the "informant" came about, they did not give any details.

Although Ye Huairui believed that Yin Jiaming was innocent, but now that the case was underway, he didn't want to disclose this information to the other party for the time being, or in other words, he couldn't disclose it yet.

Yin Jiaming didn't know if he really didn't hear it, or he pretended not to notice the deep meaning in Ye Huairui's words, so he simply replied:

[This basement was customized by the contractor according to the customer's requirements, and not many people know about it.I don't think anyone will guess that I'm hiding here for the time being. 】

He thought about it:

[And I have confidence in Lele, she is very smart and friendly, she will never betray me. 】

Ye Huairui let out a "huh" and kept all this information in his heart.

【Seriously, Ah Rui. 】

At this time, Yin Jiaming asked the same question as before:

【Are you a policeman?Otherwise, why are you so curious about the robbery of Dah Sing Bank? 】

Ye Huairui looked up at the transom.

The rain was much lighter than before, the thunder gradually faded away, and the thunderstorm was about to pass.

"I'm not a policeman."

Ye Huairui said to Yin Jiaming:

"I'm a forensic doctor."

In the early 80s, "forensic medicine" was still a very trendy term. Yin Jiaming pondered for a while before asking uncertainly:

[You mean, coroner?Just the kind... who can take fingerprints and test blood types? 】

Ye Huairui thought it was good, at least he knew that forensic doctors could take fingerprints and test blood types.

He deliberately explained a few words, saying that times have changed, and forensic medicine can do far more than 40 years ago.

But the rain was getting weaker and weaker, and it might stop at any time, so Ye Huairui had to do more important things first.

He asked Yin Jiaming to paint his palms with ink, printed two palm prints on the newspaper, and put the printed palm prints in a drawer.

Yin Jiaming didn't understand, so Ye Huairui interrupted him because he wanted to ask questions a few times.

The pattering rain stopped, and the sound of thunder was too far away to be heard.

Before "disconnecting", Ye Huairui solemnly warned Yin Jiaming to hide in the secret room obediently.

"Don't go anywhere, wait for my contact."

He said to Yin Jiaming:

"I'll be back soon."

&&&&&&&&&

Friday, July 2021, 7.

During lunch break, in the Forensic Laboratory of Jincheng Judicial Police Station.

"How are you doing?"

As soon as Ye Huairui entered the office, he went straight to his friend and partner Zhang Mingming who was sitting at the table.

"done."

Zhang Mingming unplugged a small USB flash drive from the computer host, shook it at Ye Huairui, "here."

"Thank you."

While thanking Ye Huairui, he was going to get the USB flash drive.

"Wait a moment."

Comrade Er Ming closed his hand, put the USB flash drive into his palm, and asked with a smile:

"You haven't told me whose palm print it is."

A look of hesitation appeared on Ye Huairui's face.

Although he got Yin Jiaming's fingerprints last night, but time was tight at that time, and Yin Jiaming only had newspapers and ink for pens at his place, and he couldn't watch on the spot, and Young Master Yin didn't know the rules, so naturally it was impossible to ask for evidence. Press down two upright, beautiful, clear and complete handprints like he did.

In fact, the handprints that Ye Huairui got were taken by Yin Jiaming on an old newspaper from left to right.

The ink applied to the palm prints is uneven and different in depth, and the palm prints and the typefaces on the background are criss-crossed and overlapped.

What's worse, Yin Jiaming's bastard who lacked common sense unexpectedly folded the newspaper with his palm print on it, and stuffed it directly into the drawer.

You must know that Jincheng is located at the southern tip of the motherland, and it is hot and humid. At least half of the year is summer, and the annual humidity in the south is 90.00%.

A piece of torn newspaper has been left randomly for nearly 40 years without any moisture-proof and anti-corrosion measures. Ye Huairui felt speechless when he opened the drawer to take it out.

If it hadn't been for the rain that had stopped and the two of them lost contact, he would definitely have given Yin Jiaming a serious reprimand, and then asked him to press another copy.

No way, Ye Huairui had no choice but to bring the old newspaper back to the institute and ask his friends to help.

As a forensic photographer, Zhang Mingming is proficient in various image processing software, including scanning, separating and processing difficult palmprints and fingerprints.

When Ye Huairui handed over the newspaper with palm prints to Zhang Mingming, his friend didn't say anything, but promised to help him fix it.

At that time, Forensic Ye was glad that the other party didn't ask anything, but he didn't expect that his friend was waiting for him here.

"Well...that's it, just doing someone else a favor."

Ye Huairui said in his heart that I can't tell you that I deliberately asked someone from 39 years ago to keep it, and you wouldn't believe it.

"Tell me honestly, who is this 'other'?"

Zhang Mingming heard the words, put away the expression of laughter on his face, and asked:

"A Rui, do you really plan to re-investigate the Jincheng robbery?"
