Special Case Investigation Team VI

Cheng Jin asked Song Man: "Captain Song, have you found any enemies in the victim's family?"

"We haven't found it yet, and we're still investigating." Song Mandao, "Go and meet the first eyewitness at the scene of the discovery?"

"it is good."

It was discovered that the two cleaners at the scene of the murder were from Gaosheng Township, an old couple. The sanitation department hired them to patrol around every day to pick up garbage and maintain the sanitation of the scenic spot.

Seeing that the police came to the door again, the old couple felt a little nervous. Song Man comforted them, and then asked them to describe in detail how they found the murder scene.

It was a very simple process, Cheng Jin nodded after listening, and there was nothing to ask.

Song Man had a question: "How long does it take to get from Gaosheng Township to the campsite?"

——This is the question Cheng Jin asked him earlier.

"We usually ride electric bikes, and we can get there in ten minutes."

"How about walking?"

"If you take a shortcut and walk in the woods, it will take more than 20 minutes."

After leaving the old couple's house, the car continued to drive up to the highest point in Gaosheng Township, and stopped in front of the largest of the four houses.

Cheng Jin noticed that there were several cars parked nearby, which should be the Lin family's own car.

Soon, someone came out of the house: "You...?"

Song Mandao: "The police."

"... Oh." The man retreated into the house and told the people in the house that the police were visiting.

Entering the house, the interior is decorated in European style. There is actually a fireplace on the wall of the living room. I don't know if it is a real fireplace or an ornament.

The owners of the house seemed to be having a meal. The table was full of dishes and tableware, but there were only three people sitting at the table, and the rest of the seats were empty.

Cheng Jin noticed that there was a big cake on the dining car beside the dining table. Someone had a birthday?Judging by the style of the cake, it is relatively stable, and the birthday party should be an older person.

"Hello, police officers." The three ladies at the dining table left the table, and the youngest of them greeted Cheng Jin and the others. Her voice was very hoarse. When she spoke, she unconsciously covered her throat and frowned slightly. It should be a sore throat.

"Please come and sit here." She guided everyone to the direction of the sofa by the fireplace. Cheng Jin noticed that she was tall among women, at about 1 meters.

The young lady was Lin Jing, the daughter of Lin Ziming, and the other two older ladies at the table were her mother Zhou Zhi and her aunt Lin Zifang.

Lin Jing looks about 30 years old, tall and slender, with long wavy hair, exquisite makeup and fashionable clothes;

Her mother, Zhou Zhi, has a gentle temperament and only put on light makeup. She doesn't seem to be in charge of things at home. She has no intention of entertaining guests when they visit, and it's all up to her daughter to decide;

Aunt Lin Zifang looks like a capable woman. She has no makeup, has neat short hair, and is wearing a slim sportswear. She maintains a very good figure.

The sofa area is very large, and if you move a few chairs over, it will be enough for everyone to sit down.

Lin Jing coughed twice, and said, "Because of my cousin's family, my father, uncle, and aunt can't eat, so we're not here. Do you need me to call them over?"

The cousin she was talking about was Lian Hongwang.

"No hurry." Cheng Jin said, "Can you chat with the three of you for a while?"

"..." Lin Jing looked at her mother and aunt, then at Song Man, and said hesitantly, "This police officer, didn't you come to ask questions during the day?"

Song Man: "I still have something to ask you."

"...Okay. Let's talk in the study then?"

"Let's go."

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi followed Lin Jing, Song Man looked at the backs of the three and then at the others, and said to his colleague, "I'll go and listen too, you guys wait here."

Entering the study, Cheng Jin saw some photos on the bookshelf, and he recognized Lin Jing, Zhou Zhi and Lin Zifang on them, but he didn't know the others.

Lin Jing also glanced at the photo, but immediately looked away.

After several people were seated, Cheng Jin said, "Ms. Lin Jing, is someone in your family having a birthday today?"

"Yes, it's my dad's birthday today." Lin Jing said in a low voice, "My dad's health is not very good, plus this...he is sad and sick, and now he is resting in bed."

Cheng Jin glanced at her, and then realized that when she spoke in a low voice, her throat didn't hurt as much when she spoke in a low voice.There are few people in the study room and it is quiet, even whispered words can be heard clearly.

"If nothing happened to Lian Hongwang's family, would they visit your house today?"

Lin Jing nodded: "Yes. Actually, last night my dad asked me to call him to come and live, but he said he wanted to experience camping in the rain, so he didn't come."

"After all, Lian Hongwang is your cousin?"

"Well, my dad is his dad's cousin."

"How is your relationship?"

"It's okay." Lin Jing said, "When relatives get together, we will chat for a while, but we don't communicate often in private."

"Did you ever hear that he offended anyone?"

Lin Jing shook her head: "No - I mean I haven't heard of it."

"Did you go out last night?" Cheng Jin asked.

"No."

"Is there an alibi?"

Lin Jing was stunned.

Cheng Jin said: "It's just a routine inquiry."

"Oh. I made a video call with my friend at 10 o'clock last night." Lin Jing took out her mobile phone, opened the chat software, and showed the record to Cheng Jin and others. "Other than this, there is no other alibi. I was not feeling well, so I went back to my room after dinner and did not stay with my family."

The time of death of the murdered family was between 10 and 11 in the evening. Before that, the murderer recorded a video. Before that, he had to lurk in the trees and wait for the opportunity to bring down the family with anesthetics. relatively long time.

Lin Jing was still in her room at 10 o'clock, so it was impossible for her to go to the campsite to commit crimes.

And she doesn't seem to be very well. She coughs from time to time, and she has to keep quiet when committing crimes. Her physical condition can't do this. Of course, she can adopt the method of meeting acquaintances first to lower their vigilance and then prescribing drugs.

Well, so the main thing is that there is no time condition, and the physical condition can be ignored for the time being.

"Where's the rest of the family? Who's out?"

"I don't know. My mother probably won't go out at night, she has a very regular schedule." Lin Jing said with some hesitation, "My assistant went back to the city last night, does this count as going out? My assistant was yesterday I came here with me in the afternoon, and I will go back to the city in the evening if I have something to do."

Cheng Jin nodded and asked again: "Have you seen the video of Lian Hongwang's family being kidnapped?"

"The police showed us during the day."

"Do you have any idea?"

Lin Jing shook her head, expressing that she had no idea.

"What do you think of the patriarchy in the video?"

Lin Jing hesitated and said, "So, is it a common situation?"

"And you yourself?"

Lin Jing smiled wryly: "I... try not to favor boys over girls."

"you have children?"

"Well, I have a daughter and a son."

Afterwards, Cheng Jin and the others chatted with Lin Jing's mother, Zhou Zhi. This lady lived a regular life. She went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening. She didn't know anything about the rest of the family. Similarly, she stayed alone all night. Then, no one else could testify against her that she hadn't been out.

However, this lady is thin and thin. Although she is well maintained, her actual age is almost 60, and it is basically impossible for her to commit crimes.

Next is Lin Jing's aunt, Lin Zifang. She is straightforward and dares to say: "Lian Hongwang came here to camp because of my brother. He knows that my brother's birthday is today, but because he didn't plan to make a big deal, he couldn't do anything." Come to the door, so I thought of a roundabout trick, deliberately ran here to camp and then had a chance to come to the door."

Lin Ziming is 64 years old this year, and his health is not very good. He originally had a son and a daughter, but his son died in an accident seven years ago, and now he has only one daughter.

Perhaps because he missed his son, Lin Ziming was very kind to Lian Hongwang, and even Hongwang was very close to Lin Ziming.But after all, Lian Hongwang is only the son of Lin Ziming's cousin, who is a distant relative. He doesn't have many opportunities to see Lin Ziming, so he can only find various excuses to get close to Lin Ziming.

Cheng Jin looked at the photos on the bookshelf, Yang Simi glanced at him, got up and went to the bookshelf to get some photo frames.

"Thank you." There was a smile in Cheng Jin's eyes, and then he suppressed the smile and looked at Lin Zifang, "Ms. Lin, can you introduce us to your family members?"

Lin Zifang looked at him, picked up a photo frame with a group photo, and said, "This is me, my brother and my sister-in-law, this is Lian Jin, Lian Hongwang's father - he is the cousin of me and my brother, he He has a good relationship with my brother, this is Lin Jing and his brother Lin Fei, next to him is Lin Jing's husband Lai Xiuxin, and the two children are Lin Jing's son and daughter."

"Is this photo from a few years ago?" Cheng Jin asked.

"Yes," Lin Zifang showed a look of reminiscence, "Seven or eight years ago. Later, Lin Fei and Lai Xiuxin had an accident together, and there was no group photo taken at home."

"What happened to them?"

"..." Lin Zifang was silent, as if a little embarrassed.

Cheng Jin looked at Song Man beside him.

Song Mandao: "Drug overdose."

Cheng Jin raised his eyebrows, then lowered his eyelids, looked at the group photo on the table, and changed the subject: "The two children should be quite old now, are they here today?"

Lin Zifang shook her head: "No, they are in junior high school, and the school is a dormitory system, and they will not go home except on weekends."

"Oh, so, I saw that Lian Hongwang's two children didn't go to school yesterday, so I thought your children had also asked for leave."

Lin Zifang sighed: "Didn't I say that Lian Hongwang wanted to curry favor with my brother? My brother likes children very much, but Lin Jing sent the child to a boarding school, which prevented him from seeing the child often, so Lian Hongwang's opportunity came. Yes, whenever he has a chance, he will take the child to hang around in front of my brother."

"So that's the case." Cheng Jin looked at Lin Zifang and asked, "What do you think of Lian Hongwang's kidnapping video?"

Lin Zifang said frankly: "That video is quite scary, even that kid Hongwang is quite hypocritical."

Asked her if she knew who Lian Hongwang had offended, she said she didn't know.

Asked her if she went out last night, she said no, she worked out in the gym from 8:10 to [-]:[-], and the housekeeping staff at home can testify for her.

So diligent in fitness, it's no wonder that she doesn't look old-her sister-in-law is almost 60, and she should not be young, but judging from her appearance, she has not yet shown obvious signs of aging.

After talking with the three ladies, Cheng Jin and the others went to meet Lian Hongwang's parents and Lin Ziming, the head of the Lin family.

Because the three old people were unwell, Cheng Jin and others came to see them.

Lin Ziming is in his 60s, but he is well maintained. He is tall and thin with a straight back. He is wearing pajamas with contrasting color stitching styles, which is very fashionable—or younger. He is accompanied by a very handsome guy. When I asked, it was his life assistant.

Lin Ziming said that he likes Lian Hongwang's family very much. Yesterday he asked Lian Hongwang to live at home, but the other party insisted on living in a tent... He felt very sad about what happened to the other family.

Although what he said was a bit "official", he looked very sad, showing his true feelings, and his eyes were wet.

"I heard that Lian Hongwang took his children to camp because you like children?"

Lin Ziming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Who doesn't like children? He told me that children are under a lot of pressure from homework, so take them out to relax and combine work with rest."

Later, Cheng Jin and the others chatted with Lin Ziming's assistant, and learned that he had been with Lin Ziming last night. From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening, Lian Hongwang's father came in and chatted with Lin Ziming for a while. After playing chess for a while, Lin Ziming almost took a rest after he left.

When sleeping, in order to take care of Lin Ziming, the assistant slept in the outside room, and the two of them didn't go out all night.

Then, it was the turn of Lian Hongwang's parents.

His father is Lin Ziming's cousin Lian Jin, who is widely known by everyone. The old man is a bit fat and has a sad face. Although he is Lian Hongwang's father, he is like everyone else. I don't know if Lian Hongwang has offended any cruel people. .

Lian Hongwang's mother is Wan Ping, a pungent noodle-haired woman, crying and cursing, bossing the police around—maybe because she thinks that the police are here to serve her, and they must be obedient to her, and must always be obedient to her. Solve the case in seconds and immediately avenge her son!

However, she was like this only when she was facing the police, but when she was in front of Lian Jin, she actually restrained herself a lot, probably because one thing lowers one thing.

Regarding the video of Lian Hongwang, the couple firmly denied that Lian Hongwang was patriarchal, saying that Lian Hongwang must have been forced to say that in the video.

As for why Lian Hongwang asked for leave to camp, as Song Man said earlier, the couple both said that Lian Hongwang was very tired recently and wanted to take a rest.

In short, no useful information was obtained from the couple.

Finally, I chatted with the Lin family's housekeeping staff for a while.

Here in Gaosheng Township, the Lin family is equipped with six domestic workers, three of whom are permanent workers who came from the city with the Lin family, and the other three are part-time workers who are temporarily employed in Gaosheng Township.

The three long-term workers are relatively close to the Lin family and should know a lot about the Lin family, but they speak very conservatively and are unwilling to discuss their employers.

The three part-time workers are just temporary workers hired to work. They are all locals from Gaosheng Township. They don't seem to know the specific situation of the Lin family, or they may have been told, so they all kept their mouths shut.

So in the end, they couldn't get useful information from these domestic workers, but they proved to each other that they didn't go out last night.

After leaving the Lin family and getting into the car, Cheng Jin looked back at the Lin family's villa through the car window, and there were also people standing behind the window watching them leave.

Cheng Jin said: "Is there a hotel here? Let's stay here for one night."

Song Man looked at him and said, "There are hotels."

He said again: "Do you think the people from the Lin family are suspicious?" He thought that Cheng Jin had discovered a suspected suspect and wanted to stay overnight in Gaosheng Township.

"It's hard to say at the moment." Cheng Jin said, "I think, since this place is so close to the crime scene, it might be beneficial to get in touch with people here. You can go about your business and leave us alone."

Song Man: "We asked people in the town today, but we couldn't find any information that would help solve the case. In terms of suspicion, we haven't found anyone who went to the campsite that night."

"Well." Cheng Jin said, "Ordinary people will be nervous when facing the police and dare not talk nonsense, but it's different in private. Try it, it doesn't hinder anything if you don't gain anything."

"……okay."

At the entrance of the hotel, the special case team parted ways with Song Man and other Ruiyu local policemen. Song Man hesitated and said, "Then, see you tomorrow?"

Cheng Jin nodded with a smile, and said gently, "I'll see you at the Public Security Bureau tomorrow."

Yang Simi looked at him.

After Song Mannan walked away, Cheng Jin asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you so gentle with him?"

Cheng Jin was speechless: "...Don't talk nonsense about things that don't exist."

Yang Simi still wanted to talk, but Cheng Jin simply threw away the suitcase and covered his mouth: "Just be mad at me!"

Yang Simi smiled and bent his eyes, raised his eyelids lightly, and spoke with his eyes: You are in a hurry...

Cheng Jin went to cover his eyes again. He was a little anxious just now, but now it was purely for fun.

The others calmly bypassed the two and went to the counter to open a room first.

Xiao An leaned on the counter, cupped her face and said, "Boss and Teacher Yang always give people the feeling that they will be very happy when they fall in love."

You Duo said: "This is an illusion. However, there will indeed be happy times, otherwise who would fall in love."

Bu Huan leaned against the counter and looked at the two of them with great interest: "I said, have you two been in a relationship? Two people who have never been in a relationship are talking on paper here, tsk tsk tsk."
