Chapter 5 Bystander (5)

"The other died in a car accident five years ago."

Lin Huai's heart sank. After finding out that the case was false, he had been thinking about overturning the case, at least returning the innocence of these colleagues, but it was too late for the policeman.

Chen Shen found the photo taken by the traffic police at that time. The electric bicycle fell between the motor vehicle and the sidewalk, and there was a long bloodstain on the concrete floor, extending beyond the photo.

"Is this a trace of dragging..." Lin Huai pointed to the obvious bloodstain, which was too conspicuous, "And the background of this photo is a railing, does it look like a school playground?"

The police and the school, what did they both think of? Five years ago, Li Huanyu was still in college.

Lin Huai continued: "This policeman knows he is innocent, will he continue to investigate the case, and then someone wants to silence him..."

Chen Shen frowned, and quickly browsed the accident report of the traffic police. He found the traffic accident point and found that there was indeed a school nearby, but it was a high school instead of a university. Lin Huai checked Li Huanyu's university again and found that it was indeed not there. this city.

Chen Shen stared at the bloodstain, the pixels were really low, and he couldn't see it very clearly. He tapped the table with his finger, and then opened the real map with interest. He adjusted the direction and compared it with the photo. He found that the bloodstain pointed to The gate of the high school, to be precise, is the back gate of the school. The school is originally located in the suburbs, so there is less traffic at the back gate, but the security room is usually occupied by people.

"It's unlikely that the car drove towards the school gate. This is probably the bloodstain he brought when he asked for help and crawled."

The fact that he wasn't murdered doesn't make the outcome easy, and Lin Huai didn't speak.

"We have to consider this possibility," Chen Shen put down the phone, "Revenge of relatives."

Lin Huai reluctantly nodded, suddenly he felt that the fatigue of the past few days seemed to hit him all at once: "To be honest, I hope not."

"We can only do well what we should do." Chen Shen said softly.

The next day, an even bigger surprise came to the police station. Li Huanyu's mother, who had been unable to contact her life and death before, came to her door. Maybe she thought that Lin Huai was not good at dealing with people like this, so Chen Shen didn't call Lin Huai. Huai, just met Li Huanyu's mother with the instructor, but Lin Huai still found out. He stood outside the door and listened to their conversation. How to inherit Li Huanyu's property, what procedures to follow, how long it takes to sell it, how to sell it, do I need to pay, and who to contact.

After finishing the conversation, Chen Shen went out and found Lin Huai standing aside. He glanced at the instructor and said to Lin Huai, "We are going to take her to see the crime scene."

"Aren't you going to see your daughter first?" Lin Huai asked Li Huanyu's mother, his voice had no warmth.

Li Huanyu's mother covered her face, as if she couldn't bear this kind of questioning, and she seemed to avoid her eyes. She said sharply, "Didn't you all confirm it? If you read it, you will kill my heart."

"..." Lin Huai didn't answer. For a moment, both the instructor and Chen Shen felt that Lin Huai's gaze was terribly cold, but the next second Lin Huai returned to normal, and he said to the instructor: "Director Rong, you will return later." Let's go to the city for a meeting, and Chen Shen and I will take it with us."

The instructor gave Chen Shen a look, telling him to pay attention to Lin Huai. He originally planned to let Chen Shen go alone, because he was a little afraid that Lin Huai and Li Huanyu's mother would quarrel. This old lady seemed difficult to deal with. He has seen too much, and once there is a quarrel, he will definitely beat someone. Even if Lin Huai does not fight back, all kinds of complaints are annoying. When he saw Lin Huai for the first time, he knew that this young man had an extraordinary aura. During this period of observation, he found that Lin Huai was not as squeamish as he thought, but this kind of arrogance was still not suitable for a grassroots policeman.

Chen Shen nodded.

Along the way, Li Huanyu's mother kept thinking about it, talking about how shocked and sad her daughter was, and complaining about Lin Huai's attitude. When she reached the gate of the community, she stopped talking and began to look up and down the surrounding environment of the community, as if she was very satisfied with the community.

When she reached the door of the house, the old lady's eyes literally began to light up. She put on her shoe covers reluctantly, and when the door opened, she rushed in, looking around shrewdly.

Li Huanyu spent a lot of thought on decorating this house. All the small decorations in the room are made with great care. There is also a two-meter-high flower shelf on the balcony, with dozens of pots of delicate plants on it. It was determined that Li Huanyu bought the house instead of renting it, but these were worthless things to the old lady, so she locked the door of the room at once.

"Is there only one room? How did you choose..." He heard Li Huanyu's mother whisper this sentence, and rushed to Li Huanyu's room. She was concerned about whether there were other valuables under the bed or in the drawers. stuff.

Lin Huai felt the blood rush into his brain, exploded, and a sudden force pushed him against the wall. He raised his head coldly, but met Chen Shen's face.

Chen Shen held him down and put his fingers against his lips. Chen Shen's expression was calm. Lin Huai felt the uncomfortable touch on his lips, and looked at Chen Shen, trying to see some emotion from Chen Shen's face.

"Hush..." Chen Shen said, "You go out first."

While hesitating, Lin Huai heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets from Li Huanyu's room. He struggled a few times, but was held down by Chen Shen again.

"It's okay. There are not many valuable things in the victim's room, and the murderer has never entered it. Go out first, and leave it to me here."

Chen Shen pushed Lin Huai out, and then closed the door.

Lin Huai felt that he couldn't stay at the door, so he walked down a few steps, and then sat on the steps in silence. After a while, the voice-activated lights in the corridor were dimmed, and he just sat alone in the dark, still by himself. Dark emotions invaded his mind.

I don't know how long it took before there was a sudden "bang" that pulled back his thoughts. He looked up and found a woman looking at him in a panic. Under her feet were two packages of fruits and vegetables that had just fallen to the ground. There is an elevator, so high-rise residents rarely use the stairs. Suddenly seeing a person sitting silently in the dark probably shocked her.

"I'm a policeman. I'm sorry to scare you." Lin Huai got up and helped her pick up the plastic bag. In fact, he was very grateful for the woman's sudden appearance and pulled him out of his negative emotions.

"Hmm... ah..." The woman tucked the hair from her cheeks behind her ears, rubbed her hands together before taking the bag, "I wanted to exercise and walked up today, but I didn't expect that there would be people in the corridor, so I was quite shocked." Jump, are you still investigating the matter upstairs?"

"En." Lin Huai nodded. Suddenly, he felt that the woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it, but they were all in the same community, so he must have seen it before.

Footsteps came from upstairs, and a man hurried down.

"It's okay, Kiki, I heard something..." Seven one zero five = eight eight * five nine zero

When he saw Lin Huai, the man froze for a moment, and Lin Huai also recognized that this man was the colleague who helped him check his household registration before.

"It's nothing, but a person suddenly appeared in the dark corridor, and I was shocked." Qiqi replied.

"Sorry, I lost my mind for a while..." Lin Huai asked, "Do you live here?"

"She's my girlfriend, and we're in the upstairs room," said the colleague.

Lin Huai nodded. At that time, the instructor was helping to visit the neighbors. I don’t know if I have any clues now, I will ask the neighbors again if there is any new situation. It seems that I have seen Lin Huai’s plan. Colleagues and Qiqi After saying a few words, Qiqi nodded and went back to the house first.

"I know what else you want to ask. I was with her that night. We slept too deeply and didn't hear anything useful," said the colleague. Didn't sleep well."

"Maybe if you don't tell her that the upstairs is a murder, it won't be so scary..." Lin Huai said, logically speaking, you shouldn't tell your girlfriend about this, let alone a neighbor.

The male colleague's face changed color, his ears turned red first, and then his face sank. Lin Huai didn't expect this person to react so violently, and was a little surprised.

"Do you know that you are withdrawn and self-righteous, and other people hate you very much."

"..."

Lin Huai didn't answer, but the male colleague seemed to wake up suddenly and realized that he had spoken recklessly. He mumbled a few times, walked back in a panic, and closed the door with a bang.

Lin Huai stood there for a while, then simply went downstairs, went to the coffee shop downstairs, ordered a cup of coffee, and drank it slowly by himself. He hadn't been able to do nothing so leisurely for a long time.

About half an hour later, Chen Shen called him and asked him where he was. After reporting his address, Lin Huai hung up the phone and continued to be in a daze. He didn't come back until Chen Shen came.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Shen looked at him with a smile.

Lin Huai glanced at the coffee in his hand, then at Chen Shen, he was stunned for a while, his expression looked a little immature, before Chen Shen understood the meaning of Lin Huai's staring at him, Lin Huai had already stood up, Said to wait for me to get off, then went to the dining counter to order a cup of coffee, gave it to Chen Shen, and said thank you very naturally.

When Chen Shen saw that he did it unexpectedly, he asked, "Have you...have you done this to anyone before? I thought you usually don't beat people up?" The female reporter before asked him to tell him. Even with a cup of tea, he looked ashamed and humiliated.

"My elder brother," Lin Huai took a sip of the drink in his hand, "I just brewed and poured it myself." That hard work is also a habitual language.

Chen Shen glanced at the coffee in his hand, he suddenly realized how cute Lin Huai is as a younger brother, he suddenly wanted to laugh: "Your elder brother dotes on you very much."

"My parents passed away early, and my elder brother brought us up. My elder brother attaches great importance to family members." Lin Huai lowered his eyes, and he said flatly, "Didn't you also realize it?"

Chen Shen's eyes moved. Lin Huai had been trying to take care of his feelings all the time, but now he suddenly became sharp. Chen Shen asked, "What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

Lin Huai put down his coffee, he didn't ask Chen Shen how he knew, he said directly: "I was thinking that it would be very troublesome to interrogate my colleagues."

Chen Shen's expression was also a little surprised: "What's wrong? Who is it?"

"Today I ran into the colleague who came to us to ask about the case. His name is Wang He. He lives in Li Huanyu's building."

"Him?" Chen Shen smiled, "It can't be him."
