eighth story

Wu Qinyang smiled and said, "Uncle Qiao."

A group of people cast curious glances, Qiao Yuan stood up from the chair, put the water glass on the table casually, and introduced to everyone: "This is Wu Qinyang, Xiao Ju's nephew, Qin Yao and her. Son, he just started college this year, everyone, don't be polite to him, this kid... Uh, quite lively."

The director's nephew came to visit, and everyone except ordinary applauded to welcome him.Qiao Yuan pulled a chair for Wu Qinyang to sit down, and the foodies came over and praised Qin Yao's cooking skills, which made Wu Qinyang feel quite proud.At this time Qiao Yuan greeted Xuan Jue again and said, "Xiao Jue is here too?"

Xuan Jue said: "Come and see, Uncle Qiao, how is it going?"

Qiao Yuan said: "It's almost the same." Then he looked at Pingfan and Tang Dao over there, "You're back? How's the situation?"

Tang Dao said: "The testimonies of the ten people are almost the same, it's a little bit that they all ate fish, and..."

Qiao Yuan said: "Let's talk about it later." Then he greeted, "Hey, hey, stop making trouble, come over for a meeting."

Just as he was talking, the door of the office was pushed open again, Xiang Dan stepped on a pair of wet sneakers, and said with a smile: "Hey, Qiao Zu, it seems that it is really time for me to come back, and it is quite lively."

Xiang Dan's height of 1.7 meters and [-] meters can be regarded as outstanding among girls.With heroic eyebrows and short hair, he is a standard tomboy.Xiang Dan is Yin Hao's apprentice. He was born in a special police training camp. He has learned taekwondo and straight boxing from Yin Hao for a period of time. Although Xiang Dan is a girl with thin arms and legs, she is no worse than a man in terms of explosive power. She is the only one who will take the initiative to stand up to one-on-one with others, and the outcome is evenly divided, and ordinary people can't take advantage of her.

Later, Xiang Dan went to the police dog brigade for more than half a year for some reason. She seemed to have a natural affinity for animals, and soon established a deep friendship with dogs, big and small, in the base. After leaving the police dog brigade, Yin Hao recommended her to Qiao Yuan has now become a member of the Serious Case Team.

If anyone among the new members of the group could see through Xuan Jue's true face, it would probably be Xiang Dan.When Xiang Dan and Xuan Jue met for the first time, her expression was quite surprised, but she soon returned to normal. Xuan Jue didn't mind if Xiang Dan saw through her identity, and she had nothing to hide, at most, she just didn't want to say it.A group of people are well aware of the type of case they are handling. There are not a few rare animals in the mountains that have been transformed by the aura of heaven and earth. If you really tell them what kind of ghost the real body of a certain person is, they will not be surprised. Fainted to the point of being too much.Ordinary Tang Dao, Xiangdan and the others are neither involved in the past, nor as close as Wishing Qiao Yuan and the others, plus they have to consider Qin Zhi and Xiao Yunhe to some extent, of course Xuan Jue will not casually say that he is actually a leopard , because of his extraordinary talent, he turned into his father's son.

But in fact Xuan Jue and Xiang Dan have a very harmonious relationship, and Pingfan can't understand his background as a rich second generation. Tang Dao is gentle and polite to everyone, but Xiang Dan is a tomboy and always smiles brightly , have a good relationship with anyone.

Seeing her come back, Qiao Yuan hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Xiang Dan kicked the shoes under his feet, and with a troubled look on his face, he said: "Qiao Zu, I followed what you said to find places with water, but...you see, I came back empty-handed. I know, but there is no result. He Anping is such a big person that she can't die without seeing her body. Now I wonder if our direction is wrong. Maybe He Anping was not abandoned at all. Although the murderer beheaded her, he didn't It doesn't mean that she must be cut into pieces, He Anping's body may still be with the murderer, this kind of perverted behavior is not uncommon in the case."

Qiao Yuan said: "What you said is a bit interesting, but have you ever thought about why He Anping's head appeared in the free soup in the university cafeteria? At present, we have no evidence to attribute He Anping's death to a certain series of cases. That is to say, we don't consider the murderer as a perverted murderer who dared to challenge the police for the time being. No matter what the reason for killing, whether it is deliberate murder, unintentional mistake, or excessive self-defense, except for a very small number of people In addition to surrendering himself, the murderer is more concerned about how to exonerate himself and try to weaken his suspicion after the police intervene in the investigation."

Xiang Dan said: "Then..."

Tang Dao said: "Qiao Zu is right. Out of such considerations, the murderer will definitely not keep the body with him after learning of the crime, because this is already a decisive piece of evidence. Now we have found He Anping Regardless of whether the murderer discarded He Anping's body, dismembered it, or even separated the flesh and bones to disguise it as meat products, what we are looking for is not He Anping's body, but her body related to the murderer. clues."

Xiang Dan said: "Then why did the murderer put He Anping's head in the free soup in the cafeteria? If he wanted to destroy the corpse, shouldn't he dispose of the corpse as much as possible without attracting others' attention? To say sorry to the deceased, if the murderer really dismembered He Anping and cooked her body as Brother Dao said, and finally disguised it as expired cooked food and threw it away with domestic garbage, the time it takes to abandon the corpse It's a bit longer, but it can avoid being discovered to the greatest extent. If it is handled properly, such as the fingers and toes, these human characteristics may not be the second NTU corpse case."

Xiang Dan finished talking like a cannonball, breathed a sigh of relief, and reiterated his doubts: "Then why did the murderer choose the free soup in the cafeteria to abandon the corpse? Although the cafeteria is full of people, the surveillance may not be able to catch it. The free soup is prepared there for the students to drink, and no matter whether the students find something abnormal when serving the soup, even if no one drinks the free soup, the cafeteria staff will collect the leftovers after the dinner period is over. It will be discovered at that time."

Wu Qinyang saw that Xuan Jue, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be thinking something, and after a while, Xuan Jue thought about it and said, "Maybe...the one who abandoned the corpse was not the murderer himself?"

Xiang Dan didn't notice him coming until he opened his mouth, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yo, when did you come?"

Xuan Jue said: "Just came."

After hearing his words, Pingfan frowned habitually, and suddenly said: "You mean..."

Qiao Yuan saw admiration in his eyes, and took a sip from his water glass.

Pingfan continued: "Regardless of whether it is the murderer himself or not, He Anping's head will appear in the free soup, bringing us the most intuitive information that someone died, and it was He Anping, not someone else! From He Anping's disappearance to her It took about a week for her body to be found, during which time her roommate and her boyfriend Lin Jie agreed that He Anping was going to live with Li Jiayin because of some misunderstandings, but once they got in touch with Li Jiayin, it was easy It will be found that He Anping is missing. But even if we report the case, our police can only investigate according to disappearance. Running away, abducting and selling, and being murdered are only one of the possibilities. But the circumstances at the time of the crime point to it clearly, that is, He Anping is dead. The police are directly investigating the murder case!"

Tang Dao said: "So it's not important how the head got into the soup. The important thing is that someone wants us to know that He Anping is dead."

Qiao Yuan said: "That's right, that's almost what it means. You didn't see that I couldn't find anything from the surveillance, so you just let it go."

Tang Dao said: "If the murderer really didn't do the dumping, how did the dumper know that He Anping was dead? Or how did he come into contact with He Anping's body, how did he get He Anping's head, and the relationship between him and the murderer?" What does it matter? Passers-by can just call the police directly, and there is no need to waste so much time and abandon the corpse in full view."

Qiao Yuan stretched out his finger and shook it, and said, "I don't think it's necessary to think so complicatedly, maybe you and Pingfan can explain this question."

Pingfan said: "How to say?"

Qiao Yuan asked back, "What did you two do just now?"

Ping Ping said: "Hospital..." After a while, he seemed to understand something, "Those people in the hospital?"

Qiao Yuan said: "What did they say, let's listen to it."

Ping Ping said: "The ten people admitted to the hospital last night have two common characteristics. One is that they all ate fish that night, and the other is that they all heard a voice while eating, asking them..."

"……Is it tasty?"

The ordinary words were stopped, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the source of the voice, it was Wu Qinyang.

Wu Qinyang frowned slightly, covered his forehead with his hands, and thought of the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow again.After a long time, he didn't let out a sigh of relief until he noticed Xuan Jue's hand lightly resting on his shoulder.

Xiang Dan asked, "This is...?"

Xuan Jue said: "My cousin."

Xiang Dan immediately understood, and then heard Xuan Jue gently say to Wu Qin Yang: "Yang Yang."

At this time Tang Dao said: "How do you know?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Actually, last night I also..."

Tang Dao said: "Both Zhu Mingyue and Qiu Feng are in your class? And Zhong Liyin..."

Wu Qinyang might not be aware of Qiu Feng, the deputy squad leader who has only met once in the crowd, but Zhu Mingyue and Zhong Liyin, one is the squad leader and the other is the class teacher. They just met last night, and they were still very impressed, so they nodded.

Qiao Yuan said: "I heard what Yunhe and the others said, but I haven't had time to ask you, what's going on?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Just last night, our class had a dinner together and went out to eat grilled fish. There are about 80 people in our class. When we were eating, I heard someone ask me 'Is it delicious?'. I thought it was some classmate, so I I responded casually and said, 'it's delicious'. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was not right. The voice sounded like [-] to [-] years old, but the people present at that time were not of this age. I asked my classmates, They all said they didn't hear it, and after returning to school, I felt chills all over my body, and when I woke up, I was already at home."

Tang Dao nodded slightly, and then said to Qiao Yuan: "The testimonies of the other ten people are similar. It is very common to ask 'Is it delicious' when eating, and usually several people eat together. It was the two sophomores who mentioned it. They were eating together at the time, and they thought it was the other person who asked the question. After finding out that it wasn't, they searched for it on purpose. After talking about it, they found out that other people had similar situations. "

Xuan Jue said: "My father said that this thing has three veins that return to Yin, I'm afraid..."

Qiao Yuan said: "Don't worry about what he is now, it's not normal anyway. Lin Jie was in the most serious condition in the hospital last night. What do you mean by that?"

Xiang Dan said: "Lin Jie is currently the most suspected... Wait, if this incident involves a level that cannot be explained by common sense, could it be that He Anping, who is already dead, wants us to pay attention to Lin Jie in this way? Tang The head is also... By the way, did Lin Jie know about He Anping's pregnancy?"

Ping Ping said: "I haven't told him the meaning of Joe's group yet."

At this time, Wu Qinyang had also recovered from the memory of last night. To be honest, it was not a pleasant experience. Hearing them talking about Lin Jie at this time, he suddenly remembered the strange expression on Lin Jie's face that night when the incident happened. He hurriedly said: "Wait, I noticed that night, when my brother went over to ask him, Lin Jie had a very strange expression, as if he was afraid of something... If he really killed someone, why would he suddenly be in a place where he didn't know?" He found a corpse that had been disposed of in an unexpected place, so he has reason to be afraid!"

Xuan Jue also said: "Yang Yang is right, Lin Jie's expression was indeed wrong at that time."

Pingfan said: "Why didn't you two talk earlier?"

Wu Qinyang said: "You never asked us about Lin Jie before! I just remembered when you said you doubted Lin Jie. Blame me?"

Pingfan was choked by his last words, and didn't want to talk to him, so he turned his head to Qiao Yuan and said, "Qiao Zu, then Lin Jie..."

Qiao Yuan raised his hand to signal him to be calm, and then asked, "What's the situation with Li Jiayin?"

Ping Ping said: "Li Jiayin didn't have time to commit the crime. Her teachers, classmates and neighbors can all testify. As for why He Anping dated Lin Jie, Li Jiayin didn't know, but she said..."

Pingfan repeated Li Jiayin's words again, and at this moment, Xiang Dan suddenly said, "Wait, Li Jiayin said that He Anping and Lin Jie started dating at the end of the summer vacation? Usually the beginning of September is the beginning of university, so they The two started dating almost at the end of August, and now it is the end of November, three months. Before He Anping and Li Jiayin said that she hadn't had her period for three months, then she has been pregnant for at least three months, so she Had a child with Lin Jie when they first started dating? But Li Jiayin said that He Anping is actually quite conservative, so she shouldn't have... that when she first established a relationship with Lin Jie, right?"

Qiao Yuan is usually a man in Tangdao. Although Qiao Yuan has experienced the whole process from his wife's pregnancy to the birth of his daughter, he is not as clear about this matter as Xiang Dan, a girl.At this moment, Xiang Dan's words made everyone look at each other in dismay. Indeed, according to Li Jiayin's description, what she knew of He Anping was not a casual person, especially when dating for the purpose of marriage.

Qiao Yuan's cell phone rang at this moment, and the person who stayed behind in the hospital said out of breath on the other end of the phone: "Joe, Qiao's group, Lin Jie ran away!"
