Special Case Investigation Team VI

The next morning, at breakfast, Cheng Jin asked Bu Huan, "Besides the flower and bird market, where else would Yan Shucheng like to go?"

Bu Huan asked Yan Shucheng's friend this question last night, and now the answer is fluent: "I said that I sometimes go to the park or the suburbs for a walk, but I don't go often, just occasionally."

Cheng Jin nodded: "I have to go to Zhou Lingling's house again, and ask her if she used to go to the old flower and bird market, to see if she and Yan Shucheng had an intersection."

"Last night, I inquired about it by the way. It is said that Yan Shucheng has no hobby of whoring." Bu Huan said.

"Zhou Lingling also said before that she doesn't know Yan Shucheng, that is to say, Yan Shucheng is not her guest." Ye Lai said, "If they have met, they should have met in a daily public place like the flower and bird market."

After breakfast, the special case team came to the Public Security Bureau.

Mu Ying had already arrived and immediately walked over when she saw them.

Cheng Jin: "Brother Mu, I want to see how the jade carvers in Hanshan work, can you help me arrange it?"

"...Oh, okay." Mu Ying knew that it should be related to the investigation, but she couldn't think of it for the time being. "How many do you want to see?"

"Let's have one first."

"Okay. I'll go get in touch." When I checked whether the Yan family had sold jade materials, I asked someone in the jade carving industry to inquire about the situation. It's more convenient to just contact again now.

Upstairs in the office, Wang Tianzhi and Guan Wenli also arrived, and they were talking about what they talked about last night: the suspected special case team suspected that Yan Shucheng was related to Tong Yue's murder.

Wang Tianzhi: "I asked Lao Zhang and the others to inquire about the specific progress of the special case team. There should be news later."

Guan Wenli: "As soon as possible."

Wang Tianzhi nodded.

Guan Wenli thought about it and said, "If Tong Yue's case was really done by Yan Shucheng, it might be better than someone else's."

"what do you mean?"

"If it's Yan Shucheng, we might still have a chance to make amends." Guan Wenli said, "If it's someone else, it's probably someone we haven't investigated in detail, and we won't be able to seize the opportunity."

"Chance to remedy?" How to remedy?

Guan Wenli: "Even if Tong Yue was killed by Yan Shucheng, as long as the special case team can't find any evidence, then they can't say that Yan Shucheng is the real murderer, and they can't prove that Tong Yue's case was wrongly investigated by us."

Although Tong Yue's case is unclear, it was a case many years ago, and it was closed long ago, and the prisoner was shot. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to overturn the case unless there is conclusive evidence. did it.

Wang Tianzhi nodded: "That's great."

But in his heart, he is still more concerned about the case of Xiangfang's mother and daughter. He sincerely hopes that the murderer is Yan Shucheng, which will have the least impact on him. His current expectations are very "humble": he has little hope for the future, don't let him Just hurt your muscles.

Mu Ying got in touch with a jade carver who had been working for more than ten years. He was in his 30s and looked like an ordinary person.

When Mu Ying introduced him to the special case team, Cheng Jin smiled and stretched out his right hand, which meant to shake hands.

The jade carver didn't expect to make it so formal, he froze for a moment, then stretched out his right hand: "Hello."

Cheng Jin felt that the opponent's hand was a little rough, but the roughness was not too obvious.

After saying hello, I started to visit the studio of the jade carver. The jade carver showed them how he works on the spot.

He sat down next to the workbench, picked up the jade material in his left hand, and picked up a metal pen connected to a wire in his right hand, then turned a switch, and a slender stream of water flowed from a dropper-like water pipe hanging above the workbench, pouring water On the jade material, he then turned on the metal pen and used it to draw the marks he wanted on the jade material. Amid the beeping sound, the water flow continuously washed away the dust generated by the carving, and the jade material gradually began to show a hazy outline.

The jade carver explained: "This is a high-speed drill bit. When you use it to polish jade, it will generate heat, so you need to spray water to cool it down."

In other words, his hands will always be submerged in water.

Ye Lai: "It hurts your hand, right?"

The jade carver smiled and said, "There is no way."

"How did you work when there was no such high-speed drill?" Bu Huan asked.

"Then you can only use old-fashioned tools to carve and grind slowly. My master used to work like this in his early years."

"Does it hurt more?"

"That's for sure. Too many jade plates will patina, but human hands can't. At that time, my master's hands were full of calluses, just like the migrant workers on the construction site."

Mu Ying was shocked when she heard that, didn't Zhou Lingling say that the murderer had the rough hands of a construction site worker?

Those hands are likely to belong to a jade carver!

The jade carver said with emotion: "Nowadays, technology is more and more developed, and machine carving technology is getting stronger and stronger. As long as you design a pattern on the computer, you can use the machine to carve it automatically. It is cheaper than manual work, and the carving effect is also beautiful. So we This industry has been greatly impacted, and many people have gradually retired..."

After coming out of the jade carver, the next step is to find Zhou Lingling.

Bu Huan: "I didn't expect that there would be an industry crisis in the jade carving industry. That is to say, even if Yan Shucheng is innocent, he will probably lose his job after he comes out."

"Unemployment is not a big deal." Xiao An said, "Can an adult be starved to death?"

Bu Huan shook his head: "You are still too young to understand the hardships of ordinary people."

Cheng Jin joined the conversation: "Middle and lower-level jade carving technicians will be replaced by machines, but high-level jade carving masters should not lose their jobs."

"With the current level of technology, human hands are still irreplaceable." Yang Simi reached out and grabbed Cheng Jin's hand, pulled it to his side, and began to pinch his fingers to play.

Ye Lai sighed: "Competing with machines for food is too fierce."

Xiaoan: "It's too curly. 'Curly' is a buzzword nowadays, and it describes the fierce competition and life is not easy."

"I know, this saying has been popular for a long time." Bu Huan said, "Although we don't spend every day on the Internet like you, we still know this popular buzzword."

They were chatting in the car, and at the Public Security Bureau, Wang Tianzhi picked up his phone—he had received a message from his subordinate.

The other party told him that the special case team had asked the forensic doctor whether Tong Yue and Xiang Fang's skin was in good condition.

Wang Tianzhi went to find Guan Wenli.

Guan Wenli: "Are they looking for something in common with the victims?"

Wang Tianzhi nodded: "It seems so. They also went to find Zhou Lingling."

Guan Wenli: "So, they really suspect that the three cases were committed by the same murderer."

"Really..." Wang Tianzhi was a little pleased. If this is the case, it would be great. This shows that he did not make a mistake in the case of Xiangfang's mother and daughter. As long as the case is correct, small issues such as the source of evidence will not matter Someone will pursue it, but they can't. After all, it has been so long.

"Where is the special case team now?" Guan Wenli asked.

"It seems that I went to see some jade carver. Mu Ying has been calling the jade carver this morning." Wang Tianzhi said.

Guan Wenli's face was solemn: "Jade carver, Yan Shucheng is also a jade carver. It seems that the special case team is really suspicious of Yan Shucheng."

Wang Tianzhi said in his heart, that's pretty good.But he couldn't show it on the surface, because Yan Shucheng's suspicion indicated that Tong Yue's case was in danger of being overturned. Guan Wenli was the sponsor of that case, so he definitely didn't want the case to be overturned.

"What should I do?"

"Let me think about it." Guan Wenli said, "You go back and continue to pay attention to the developments of the special case team. If there is any new situation, let me know immediately."

"Ok."

After Wang Tianzhi went back to his office, Guan Wenli began to think.

If those three cases were really serial cases, and if Yan Shucheng was a serial murderer, how would the special case team prove his guilt?

Evidence must be required.

But will there be physical evidence?

There is a high probability that it is not. After all, Yan Shucheng has complained for so many years. If there is physical evidence, he should not be so confident.

But there is also a small probability situation: there is physical evidence.The way of thinking of serial murderers is not necessarily the same as that of normal people. Maybe Yan Shucheng is bold, conceited and smart, so he left physical evidence.

If there is physical evidence, where is the physical evidence?Probably only Yan Shucheng knew about it.No, maybe his family also knew about it. Of course, they didn't know it was a criminal evidence, they just thought it was an everyday object.

So to be on the safe side, Yan Shucheng's old things had to be destroyed.

Guan Wenli opened the drawer and took out an old spare phone and a notebook. He opened the notebook, found the phone number he had recorded before, and pressed the phone to start dialing.

When the phone was connected, he said, "Mr. Yan Kuan? I have something very important to see you. Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"

After getting a positive response from the other party, he continued: "Please listen to me carefully, I want to tell you an important news, not only is your son not overturned the case now, he is also suspected of being the murderer of the other two murders, you'd better Destroy all his previous things, lest the police find evidence of crimes in those things, in that case, your son will die."

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what I tell you. You have to believe me so that you can save your son's life. I remember he will be released from prison in a few years. That's it, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Wenli took out the phone card, broke it and destroyed it.

The special case team came to Zhou Lingling's home.

Zhou Lingling: "The old flower and bird market? I seem to have only been there once. I don't like that kind of place very much."

Everyone in the special case team was very disappointed. It was not easy to investigate the case, and they got stuck again.

Zhou Lingling said again: "But I often go there, there are many cheap clothing stores there, I will go there to buy clothes."

With the turn of events, Ye Lai quickly asked, "Do you often go to the side door?"

Zhou Lingling nodded: "Generally, I would go shopping in the nearby streets, including the street next to the side door."

Cheng Jin: "Do you remember that there is a store called Xinyu Clothing diagonally opposite the side door?"

Zhou Lingling shook her head: "It's been so many years, how can I still remember the name of the store?"

Yang Simi: "A clerk in that store was killed. Haven't you heard of it?"

"Oh!" Zhou Lingling exclaimed in surprise, "I knew about that! It's a pity that I heard that she is a very young and beautiful girl. I have been to that store, but their clothes are a bit expensive and the quality is average. So I didn't buy it."

"Have you seen the clerk?"

"I should have seen it before. I remember that the shop assistants were pretty." Zhou Lingling said.

"It's pretty. We've shown you pictures of her before."

"Oh... well, I just went shopping, my eyes were on the clothes, and I didn't pay much attention to those shop assistants. Even if I noticed at that time, I would have forgotten it after so long." Speaking of this, Zhou Lingling suddenly realized, "She was killed. You asked me if I knew her. Could it be that the person who killed her was the same person who almost killed me?"
