Super Time Detective

Ye Huairui felt very regretful in his heart, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was strange again.

After all, the murderer who killed Wang Yan obviously planned to disguise the murder as a suicide early in the morning, so he must have made complete preparations long ago. The raincoat and mask are the basic equipment for covering the face.

Coupled with the torrential rain at that time, the monitoring accuracy was greatly reduced, and the two debuffs were superimposed on each other. Naturally, we could not expect to be able to identify the murderer's appearance from the monitoring screen.

However, based on Ye Huairui's understanding of Police Officer Huang, he felt that the other party would not rush to show off to him just for this clue, and there must be "feeling" next.

Sure enough, Officer Huang took out several other enlarged and printed photos and put them on the coffee table.

"Come on, look at this again."

Ye Huairui took it obediently, and looked down.

This time, the person in the photo is no longer just the masked man in a black raincoat, but another person.

Ye Huairui's eyes widened in surprise: "This is——!"

"Yes."

Seeing Ye Huairui's reaction, Police Officer Huang nodded with satisfaction, feeling a sense of accomplishment secretly in his heart, and deeply felt that his efforts these days were not in vain.

Later, he explained the origin of these photos to Ye Huairui.

This is after the police learned of the suspect's clothing and body characteristics that day, they called all major traffic surveillance cameras within a two-kilometer radius, searched one by one, and searched carefully one by one with the drive to find a needle in a haystack, and finally recovered the suspect's identity. The escape route locked his whereabouts for a period of time after leaving Meihua Street.

Then, the police even took the posture of digging three feet into the ground to dig out the person. They followed the route they simulated for the murderer, walked back and forth many times, and finally locked down several people along the way. A civilian surveillance camera, after obtaining the consent of the head of the household, used their surveillance video on the night the typhoon landed.

"And then, we found this."

Police officer Huang pointed at the photos in Ye Huairui's hand, with a rather sullen expression on his face.

The surveillance camera at an intersection two kilometers away from the No. 26 apartment on Meihua Street captured a picture of a man in a raincoat suddenly making a right turn. in the alley.

Later, the police found a resident with a video doorbell installed in the alley. The camera of that family had infrared night vision function, and the monitoring distance was adjusted to the farthest, so the man in black raincoat and another man happened to be photographed. "Meeting" scene.

These surveillance screenshots in Ye Huairui's hands were obviously carefully processed by the imaging experts of the criminal investigation technology department. They not only enlarged the two protagonists in the screen, but also optimized the image quality to the maximum, making what should have been a mosaic Characters can also distinguish the specific facial features.

Moreover, the place where they met happened to be an arcade alley. The unique corridor structure of the arcade blocked the wind and rain outside, minimizing the interference factors of the rainstorm on the monitoring.

Obviously, neither the murderer himself nor the unnamed man who had a meeting with him, both of them thought that they were several kilometers away from the scene of the crime and could still be caught by the police, so they relaxed their confrontation during the meeting. Covering up one's appearance.

In the photo, the man standing next to the man in black with a mask is about a fist shorter than him. He is wearing a blue poncho, and the brim of his hat is pulled down to block the part above the bridge of the nose.

But the lower half of his face was clearly visible on the surveillance screen.

Even if the shooting angle is a bit skewed, coupled with the deformation and distortion that will inevitably be caused by bird's-eye shots and fisheye lenses, Ye Huairui can still see an inexplicable sense of familiarity from that half of the face.

"this person……"

Ye Huairui murmured.

He felt as if he had seen him before.

"We are still investigating the identity of this person."

Police officer Huang didn't hold back, and directly told the other party about the progress of the investigation:

"However, we have already found out about this. This person can't escape. We will definitely catch him."

Ye Huairui nodded.

He has no doubts about the executive power and tenacity of the Jincheng police today, and he is very relieved to leave it to professionals.

--only……

Ye Huairui frowned again.

He always felt that he seemed to have really seen this nose, this mouth, and this chin in the screenshot.

—Where did you see it?

…………

……

Just when Ye Huairui was deep in thought, Police Officer Huang picked up the iced coffee, gulped down half of the cup, and then put the cup on the table with a "boom".

"That's right, Ye Forensic Doctor."

He babbled, as if he was very satisfied with the taste of coffee, and then asked:

"Don't you have something to ask me? What is it?"

"Oh, so it is."

Ye Huairui temporarily put down the doubts in his heart, and said the business first:

"I would like to ask you to help find out the whereabouts of Xie Taiping's wife and son, the suspect in the Jincheng robbery."

When he said Xie Taiping's name, he kept staring at Police Officer Huang's face, paying attention to the other's reaction.

Officer Huang was stunned, his expression blank.

"Xie Taiping? Who is it?"

--really!

Ye Huairui thought to himself.

While the future has changed, other people don't actually have memories of this brand new "future".

"It's the channel engineer, the professor who was fired by Jincheng University."

Ye Huairui played his strongest acting skills, and replied calmly:

"you forgot?"

Officer Huang frowned:

"Ah... this... I remember I read the information on the Jincheng robbery, but it didn't mention that there is such a number one person!"

He blinked blankly, for some reason, he began to doubt his memory.

"You may have forgotten."

Ye Huairui still pretended to be innocent, "Or you can look at the police file."

Officer Huang was able to log into the police station intranet with his job number and password, and consult some archived electronic files.

He struggled for a while, and finally couldn't help but opened his portable notebook, connected to the archives, and searched for the electronic files of the old case back then.

Of course, the electronic files were not as detailed as the paper files, but they were enough to shock Officer Huang so much that he was speechless for a while.

"...I x!"

Officer Huang sighed in surprise:

"Could it be that I only watched half of it before? How can I remember... I remember finding out the identities of the two suspects back then?"

Ye Huairui replied calmly and plainly:

"You must have missed it."

"Ha, what a hell!"

Officer Huang turned off the computer and laughed at himself, saying:

"I really almost thought this was another 'Wu Ma Incident'."

Ye Huairui's heart tightened when he heard it, and he thought that Officer Huang was worthy of being a senior police officer, and he was really perceptive enough to hit the mystery with a random guess.

The so-called "Wu Ma incident" is a debate about whether there is a time-space reset and multi-dimensional space.

On February 2014, 2, the well-known actor Mr. Wu Ma died of lung cancer.

However, as soon as the obituary was published, many people responded that they clearly remembered that Mr. Wu Ma passed away last year.

Those with good intentions also carefully searched the Internet relics and found some discussions about the death of Mr. Wu Ma published in 13. Even the details of the funeral were consistent with the real situation in 14.

In addition, there are some similar examples.

For example, in the impression of some people, a certain celebrity should have passed away a long time ago, or the actual shape of a certain person, role, or trademark is completely different from the memory, etc.

Someone used the example of South African President Nelson Mandela to name this phenomenon that collective memory does not match reality, calling it the "Mandela effect", and using it as evidence of time reset.

Although Ye Huairui did not experience the "Mandela Effect" like some netizens before, but now it seems that he himself is a "Mandela Effect" experiencer, or, more should be called, the creator .

It's a pity that the bond between him and Yin Jiaming is too bizarre, even for Police Officer Huang, who is deeply trusted by him, Ye Huairui doesn't intend to reveal a word, so he can only fool around like a wolf with a big tail.

Fortunately, Officer Huang didn't dwell on this topic for too long.

He was more concerned about why Ye Huairui asked him to find Xie Taiping's wife and son than whether his memory was really messed up.

So Ye Huairui briefly explained his analysis of the case.

"You mean...do you think 'Tears of the Arctic Ocean' might be in the hands of Xie Taiping's wife and children?"

Officer Huang's eyes opened like brass bells:

"Really? Are you sure!?"

This is a rare treasure that the whole world is looking for!If they really found it, the two of them might be on the international news!

"uncertain."

Ye Huairui poured cold water on Police Officer Huang:

"I just think that Xie Taiping probably left some of the stolen goods or money to his wife and son."

He looked at Officer Huang:

"I want to trace the whereabouts of these properties."

Officer Huang frowned deeply when he heard this, hesitating.

"This……"

He pondered for a while and gave his professional opinion as a police officer:

"It's been a full 39 years. Even if you find Xie Taiping's bereaved family, there is no evidence to restart the investigation. Even if they really hid money and stolen goods, as long as their brains are not trapped by the door, they will definitely not admit it! "

Officer Huang spread his hands:

"It's useless for you to ask!"

Ye Huairui nodded, expressing that he was aware of this.

"However, I still want to know their whereabouts."

Ye Huairui insisted:

"Also, think about Wang Yan."

Officer Huang: "!!"

His eyes froze, and he understood the implication of Ye Huairui's words.

"You mean...you suspect that Wang Yan's death was also...?"

Ye Huairui nodded again.

"Obviously, apart from us, the murderer who killed Wang Yan is also investigating what happened back then."

He lowered his head, stretched out his hand towards the photos scattered on the coffee table, and his fingertips landed on the face of the man in black raincoat and mask.

"And he knows more about the entanglements of these suspects than we do."

Ye Huairui raised his head and stared at Officer Huang with piercing eyes.

"If this person is not Xie Taiping's bereaved family, then he is likely to attack Xie Taiping's bereaved family as well."

Officer Huang: "..."

He met Ye Huairui's eyes and remained silent for a long time.

The silence lasted for half a minute.

"Give me a day."

Subsequently, Officer Huang promised:

"Tuesday at the latest, I'll give you the news you want."
