Special Case Investigation Team VI

Behind the big tree, the grass that Han Bin judged to have hidden people looked rather messy.

Cheng Jin speculates that the grass here was first crushed by a heavy object, such as a human body, and then the human body was removed. Someone tried to clean up the traces on the grass, but because he could not restore the original appearance, he simply messed up the grass on purpose.

Cheng Jin let go of Yang Simi's hand, squatted down and scraped away half a foot of grass, looking for traces on the ground. Five or six minutes later, he found a small mud pit, and then found three others nearby.

—— Someone once stood here with a large pulley box loaded with heavy objects, and the other party tried to drag it, so that a little dragging trace was left on the ground, but the pulley could not move on this kind of grass Yes, it is estimated that the other party took a lot of effort to move this big box to the gravel road.

Cheng Jin raised his face and smiled at Yang Simi.

Yang Simi looked down at him, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, and said, "I'll buy you ice cream."

"..." Cheng Jin cleared his throat in a low voice.

Han Bin and the criminal police next to them watched them silently.

Yang Simi also said: "I really bought you a big box this time."

"..." Cheng Jin laughed. It was too easy for Yang Simi to create an image for him, so he had to admit it.

Cheng Jin called Xia Licheng to tell about his discovery.

Xia Licheng lamented Cheng Jin's power in his heart and sighed: "I also think that Jiang Xingrong should have been killed. I will immediately arrange for someone to check the people around the park to see if anyone saw someone dragging a suitcase from the park last Saturday evening." Park leave."

"Also check the nearby surveillance cameras to see if he has been photographed." Cheng Jin said.

"Okay, but the surveillance cameras nearby are broken a lot, and there is little hope of capturing them." Xia Licheng said, "Do you think Jiang Xingrong's murder has anything to do with the warehouse bombing?"

Cheng Jin said: "It's hard to say now. I plan to go to the hospital again and talk to the survivors of the bombing."

"You think they're hiding something?"

"No." Cheng Jin said, "I think they may know some information that is helpful to our investigation, but they don't realize it."

"Well. With so many people dead, they shouldn't be hiding anything on purpose."

Han Bin and the accompanying criminal police went back to the Public Security Bureau, while Cheng Jin and Yang Simi went to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, the two first went to see Zhang Shun, told him something might have happened to Jiang Xingrong, and asked him if he knew anything.

"Has Jiang Xingrong ever had a feud with anyone?"

Zhang Shun hesitated: "You mean the person whose dog we stole?"

"Anything, is there anyone who hates him or hates him?"

"I don't know. Usually we run very fast, people can't catch up with us, and they don't remember our looks, and they don't know us when they go back after a while."

"..." Repeatedly stealing dogs from the same area is quite wicked.

"Has he had any conflicts with anyone recently?"

"Some time ago he stole a dog from someone his friend knew, and the friend fell out with him and got into a fight."

"He stole it alone, you didn't go with him?"

"...I'm watching the wind for him."

Isn't that just stealing together? "Why do you even steal the dogs of your acquaintances?"

Zhang Shun didn't say a word.

"Give me the contact information of that friend of yours later." Cheng Jin asked again, "Did Jiang Xingrong go to the park for a casual stroll, or did he go there specially?"

Zhang Shun hesitated and said nothing.

Cheng Jin asked, "Can't you tell?"

"...I went there to catch stray dogs." Zhang Shun lowered his head slightly, as if embarrassed.

Cheng Jin recalled the scene in the park. Han Bin said that there were traces of dogs tied up in the trees. It seemed that Jiang Xingrong tied the stray dogs he caught there.

Cheng Jin was about to continue to ask the next question, but Yang Simi interjected, "There are still inside stories."

Cheng Jin stared at Ningshun and asked him, "Is what you want to hide more important than your friend's safety?"

Zhang Shun was silent for a while, then said: "Actually, he sometimes beats stray dogs or cats."

Cheng Jin frowned: "Beat a dog or a cat? You mean abuse of dogs and cats?"

"Yeah. I don't let him do it where we live. He'll do it in the park, and there are some parts of the park where there are very few people."

But besides the dog or the cat, there must have been another person besides Jiang Xingrong present at the scene, so that the traces of the struggle would appear in the grass and bushes, and only a human could put the person in the suitcase.

"Who else knew that he would go to the park to abuse stray cats and dogs?"

Zhang Shun shook his head, but he couldn't help but glance at Yang Simi.

Yang Simi said with a bored face: "There is another inside story."

Well, this time Cheng Jin also noticed it, and he emphasized his tone: "Who else knows? Everything you know may help the police find Jiang Xingrong."

"There is another friend of ours who knows about this, the one I said just now who turned against us. The three of us are fellow villagers and came to Changzhou together, but their lives are better. There is a rich man here. Relatives, people will look down on us after that, and they won’t want to play with us anymore.”

—— Zhang Shun seemed to have just drank vinegar, and sour gas came out of his mouth.

"Tell me, who is your friend? Where is he now and what is he doing?"

Zhang Shun: "His name is Huo Yuan, and he is a relative of Mr. Wu in the dog fighting arena. I don't know what he is doing now."

"..." Cheng Jin was taken aback, he didn't expect to hear Huo Yuan's name here.

He just met Huo Yuan this morning. Unlike Zhang Shun, who was "obsessed" with stealing dogs, Huo Yuan was quick-witted and courageous. When his nephew was lost, he found his own way and caught up with the police's search progress. In addition, Huo Yuan Yuan Yuan's temperament is much better than Zhang Shun's. Zhang Shun looks like a gangster at first glance, while Huo Yuan is like a high school student with excellent character and learning.

Yang Simi became interested and asked, "Are you three from your hometown? Did you play well before?"

"Yes, we are from the same village, and we used to have a good time."

"Why don't you study?" Cheng Jin asked.

"The grades are not good, and I can't read."

"Is Huo Yuan also not doing well?"

"..." Zhang Shun was a little embarrassed, "He has good grades, but he has no money. His parents passed away, and he lives in his uncle's house. Whenever the school wants to pay money, his uncle scolds him and refuses to give him money."

"Later, you stopped studying and came to Changzhou to work together?"

"Yes. After coming to Changzhou, Huo Yuan found his sister, and his sister's best friend, Mr. Wu, arranged a job for him. I have no such relationship with Jiang Xingrong, so I can only find something to do outside."

Yang Simi asked provocatively: "He didn't help you to say a word in front of Mr. Wu, and he also found a job for you?"

"It's just not." Zhang Shun was very resentful, it could be seen that he felt that Huo Yuan was very disrespectful.

Cheng Jin said: "It seems that Huo Yuan hasn't followed Mr. Wu since a few months ago, do you know what's going on?"

"I've heard about it." Zhang Shun gloated a little, "After all, his sister is just Mr. Wu's concubine, and he has a big wife at home..."

Cheng Jin then asked: "Mr. Wu fired him? Why?"

"I don't know, anyway, I just won't let him follow."

"Then does he remember Mr. Wu?" Cheng Jin asked.

Zhang Shun was a little hesitant: "...There should be some grudges. He actually doesn't want his sister to follow Mr. Wu, but he can't control his sister's affairs."

"You mean he doesn't hate Mr. Wu because of his work, but because of his sister?"

"I'm not very clear about the work. He doesn't want others to talk about his sister and Mr. Wu about his sister. If you tell him in front of him, he will turn his face. "

"En." Cheng Jin said, "Do you know Huo Yuan's current landlord?"

Zhang Shun seemed taken aback by his sudden change of subject: "...know, met."

"Has the landlord ever been to a dog fighting ring?"

"No, the old man likes dogs and won't go to dog fights."

"Wait," Cheng Jin had a flash of inspiration, "Just now you said that you stole the dog of someone Huo Yuan knew, so you stole his landlord's dog, right?"

"..." Zhang Shun nodded, trying to excuse himself, "It's none of my business, it's Jiang Xingrong who wants to steal, and I'm just helping him out."

"Did you return the dog to the landlord afterward?"

"No...it should have been sold by Jiang Xingrong."

"Sold to the dogfight ring?"

"I don't know, Jiang Xingrong didn't tell me, but it should be."

"..." Cheng Jin was a little dazed, as if thinking about something.

Yang Simi glanced at Cheng Jin, and asked Zhang Shun in his place, "Is there a mine in your hometown?"

"there is."

"Then have you ever played with detonators?"

"..." The detonator is an explosive, and Zhang Shun immediately thought of the bombing in the dog fighting arena, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh, you've played it before, right? Are you using detonators to fry fish? Which one of you has the best technique and can fry the most fish? You? Jiang Xingrong? Or Huo Yuan?" Yang Simi asked slowly.

"..." Zhang Shun didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the other party would say that they were the ones who blew up the dog fighting arena.

Cheng Jin said: "That's all for today, you can rest. If you think of something about Jiang Xingrong, you can call us at any time."

He put his hand on Yang Simi's back, and with a little force, he led Yang Simi towards the door of the ward.

"I didn't blow up the dog fighting arena!" Zhang Shun raised his severed arm, "If I did it, why would I blow up my own hand?"

Cheng Jin turned around and said, "I don't doubt you, let's have a good rest."

Out of the ward, Cheng Jin embraced Yang Simi, and after walking a little further, he said: "I just realized that I was thinking about it earlier, but the pair of shoe prints on the corner of the backyard of the dogfighting arena were not left from the night of the explosion. "

"Ok?"

"It should have been left the night before, that is, Saturday night. The corner of the wall is relatively damp, and the smell of urine evaporates slowly, so the smell has not dissipated when we go."

Yang Simi was a little impatient: "It took you so long to remember that peeing."

"...If you have any doubts, you should always find out."

Yang Simi looked at Cheng Jin, and picked a loophole for him: "Why must it be left at night? Don't people pee during the day?"

"The dogfighting arena is not open during the day, and the owner of the piss can't enter the warehouse. The result of the footprint inspection shows that the other party is relatively old. No accident, the other party should be just an ordinary person. He should not be able to climb high walls at the age of [-]. Ability."

Yang Simi: "What if he went there the night before the explosion? Wasn't the old man who sells barbecue the only one on the list of gamblers that night?"

"Just ask the people who were in the dogfight ring that night and you will know what's going on."

Yang Simi narrowed his eyes slightly: "You seem to have an idea already?"

"a little bit."

Yang Simi's long eyelashes fluttered, and he "blamed" Cheng Jin: "You want to earn my ice cream again."

"..."

Cheng Jin laughed, obviously it was Yang Simi who wanted to trick him again, but Yang Simi was so "cute" when he did it, it's a pity that this is a public place, so it's not convenient to kiss him or something...

He took a deep breath: "Let's go, see if you can earn your ice cream this time."

Li Jianhai was lying on the hospital bed watching TV, when he saw Cheng Jin and Yang Simi, he trembled, and the fat on his body shook.

Cheng Jin smiled: "I'm here to disturb you again."

Li Jianhai laughed with him: "...don't bother, please tell me if you have anything to do."

"The night before the explosion, that is, Saturday night, were there any older customers among your customers?"

"I have repeated the list to your police several times. Don't you know after looking at the previous records?" Li Jianhai complained, and then said, "Old Peng is the only one who is older. The others are at most 4 , 50, he is over 60."

"Is he the only one who is older? No one else?" Cheng Jin said, "As far as I know, another person who was about the same age as Lao Peng entered your yard that night, and he even urinated in the corner of the backyard."

"..." Li Jianhai was stunned for a moment, and said, "I thought the person who peed in the yard was Lao Peng."

At that time, he saw a sneaky figure walking in the yard, and was about to scold him, but he saw him go to the corner and urinate. He looked at him through the dim light in the yard, and saw him His hair was gray and white, so he thought it was Lao Peng.

He also said to the other party: "Old Peng, it's not that there is no bathroom in front, why are you peeing outside? Don't do this next time!"

Yang Simi said: "He turned his back to you by urinating to prevent you from seeing his front. Lao Peng has a bald head. Even in a place with poor lighting, you can still recognize him from the front."

"...That person is not Lao Peng, so who is he?" Li Jianhai looked puzzled.

Cheng Jin: "Did you not see him again?"

Li Jianhai shook his head: "Later I saw Lao Peng in the warehouse, and I thought he had returned to the warehouse after urinating."

"Who do you think that person might be?"

Li Jianhai still shook his head, but the speed of shaking his head became a little slower...

Yang Simi glanced at him impatiently.

Li Jianhai felt the crisis, and quickly said: "I thought of one thing, I just thought of it, the truck we sent that night was stopped by those who were engaged in animal protection on the road."

They had dogs in their cars, and animal rights activists pulled over their cars to save the dogs, costing them a fortune.

This traffic jam was also on the news, but because the news about the explosion in the warehouse was too hot, this little news was so disgraced that no one looked at it.

Cheng Jin: "You mean that strange old man is an animal protection person?"

"Probably. He sneaked in to check on the situation. When he saw that we were leaving, he immediately contacted his accomplices and asked them to stop our car on the road."

"Oh." This was a direction Cheng Jin hadn't thought of before, and he and Yang Simi looked at each other.

Cheng Jin asked again: "Apart from people suspected of animal protection entering your yard on Saturday night, did anything else happen that was different from usual?"

Li Jianhai: "...It feels like nothing special happened."

"Tell and listen to everything you remember, especially we will judge."

Li Jianhai: "I saw Mr. Wu quarreling with his brother-in-law and calling him a white-eyed wolf."

"Wu Junxiong's brother-in-law——Xie Liang?" Didn't Xie Liang say that he didn't participate in the business of the dog fighting arena, did he lie?

"No, his other brother-in-law is Huo Yuan."

"Oh. What are they arguing about?"

"It's Mr. Wu who taught my brother-in-law, 'I'm for your own good, why don't you listen to me'." Li Jianhai said, "I had to say a few more words about Lao Peng—oh, that person is not Lao Peng, but because When I heard them quarreling, I didn't care about 'Old Peng'."

"Oh, Huo Yuan used to work with Mr. Wu, right? Then why didn't Mr. Wu let him follow?"

"I heard that Huo Yuan didn't want to do it himself. I don't know exactly what happened."

Cheng Jin thought for a moment and asked, "Have you met Huo Yuan's current landlord?"

"Landlord? No, I've never seen Huo Yuan take anyone to play in the warehouse. It's just that I heard that he moved out to live by himself. Mr. Wu scolded him for this reason."

"How long did Huo Yuan stay in the dog fighting ring on Saturday night?"

"I'm not sure, maybe ten minutes? Anyway, he left soon."

Leaving Li Jianhai's ward, Cheng Jin and Yang Simi went to visit other survivors, but unfortunately they didn't get much more.

The two came to the elevator room and waited for the elevator.

Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi's reflection on the elevator door and said, "I didn't get your ice cream."

"Didn't meet your expectations?"

"It's not inconsistent, but I thought someone would know who that strange old man is."

"Oh, but you already have a suspect, and you're not far from earning ice cream."

Cheng Jin shook his head: "It's not necessarily the other party, it needs to be confirmed."

Yang Simi looked at him and said, "Although you didn't win the victory prize, I can give you a consolation prize."

"...Thank you." Cheng Jin smiled cooperatively.
