Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

When people from the police station heard that they had brought back a strange suspect, they came to eat melons one after another.

In order to get clues, Ming Tang decided to sacrifice his wallet and buy Zhou Qiang everything he wanted.

It cost almost 600 yuan, so naturally he was not reimbursed.

Mingtang could only reluctantly pay for it, who made him readily agree at that time.

At first he was worried that Zhou Qiang would not be able to eat more than a dozen dishes, so a group of people gathered in the observation room to watch Zhou Qiang eat.

But they never expected that Zhou Qiang, who weighs less than [-], really ate up more than a dozen dishes.

They couldn't figure out how such a thin person could eat so much.

Mingtang was a little worried that Zhou Qiang would have died from indigestion before their interrogation, so he went to the pharmacy across the road to buy Jianweixiaoshi tablets and some laxative oral liquid for Zhou Qiang in case of emergency.

Seeing him thinking so much about eating, a group of onlookers looked hungry, and they all went back to open a small stove.

Mingtang gave Zhou Qiang a half-hour buffer period, and half an hour later, he and Lu Changfeng walked into the interrogation room.

As soon as Zhou Qiang saw Mingtang, he showed a greedy and worshipful expression, just like seeing the God of Wealth.

"I'll satisfy you with what you want to eat, so shouldn't it be time to talk about our problems?"

"No problem." Zhou Qiang said very straightforwardly, "Brother, for the sake of buying me food and letting me sit in your car, you can ask. As long as I know, I will tell you. The second master said that to be a man, you must be honest."

"Second Master Guan never said that." Mingtang said speechlessly.

Zhou Qiang waved his hand, "Don't worry about these details, anyway, you can understand the general meaning anyway."

"Then tell me first, where did the phone come from?"

Zhou Qiang said: "I picked it up, brother, I won't lie to you, if I lie to you, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky."

Mingtang was very troubled by Zhou Qiang's Jianghu style: "Time, place, how did you pick it up."

"I can't remember the exact time, I picked it up on the sink in the hotel." Zhou Qiang blew on the ashes in his nails, "There is no special way to pick up the phone."

Zhou Qiang pointed to the blank space and said, "It's like if there is a mobile phone here, I just pick it up, put it in my pocket, and leave, it's that simple."

Mingtang: "..."

"What's the name of the restaurant and where is it?"

Zhou Qiang said: "On the other side of the grocery street, I accompanied my uncle to buy goods, and then I had an urgent need to urinate, so I went to the restaurant across the road to go to the toilet, and then I saw the mobile phone on the sink. It's as simple as that."

"Do you remember the name of the restaurant?" Ming Tang asked.

Zhou Qiang shook his head: "I don't remember, I didn't read it carefully at the time. But if you take me back to read it, I will definitely remember it."

Mingtang thought about it, and decided to take Zhou Qiang to the scene to identify him, otherwise there was no other way.

Grocery Street is also in the Phoenix District, about three kilometers away from the ballet troupe, Mingtang and the others don't come here often.

This is called the Fenghuang District Department Store Wholesale Market, and it covers a rather large area, with more than 1000 shops.

Following Zhou Qiang around, they finally found the restaurant Zhou Qiang had mentioned.

That restaurant is just an ordinary hot pot restaurant, nothing special.

Mingtang and the others opened the door and walked into the store, and Zhou Qiang pointed out to them how he took the mobile phone at that time.Mingtang paid attention to the monitoring equipment in the shop, it was relatively complete.

The cash register is right at the entrance. There is one camera inside the door, one camera inside the cash register, and two cameras outside the gate, one on the left and one on the right.

After asking the people in the store, they learned that their monitoring and storage time is relatively long, and they can basically find records within a year. Mingtang circled a range based on the time when Yu Wanwan disappeared and the time when Zhou Qiang and the others came to pick up the goods. All the surveillance videos in this range were copied.

Lu Changfeng also inquired with the staff in the store, asking them if there were any female customers who told them that they lost their mobile phones and needed to adjust the monitoring three months ago.

The answer was negative, and no female customers asked to call the surveillance in their store.

Lu Changfeng felt a little strange. If a normal person loses his mobile phone in a restaurant, he would definitely ask the store to get the monitoring. If Yu Wanwan lost his mobile phone, why didn't he ask the store to get the monitoring?

Since three months have passed, it is useless to show them a photo of Yu Wanwan to identify them now. No one said that they have any impression of Yu Wanwan.

The only hope they have left is in the empty watching video of the restaurant.

After returning to the police station, a few people watched the surveillance video steadily.

"Cough-cough-"

Mingtang felt his throat was a little itchy, got up and got himself a cup of hot water.

Lu Changfeng looked over with concern, "Did you catch a cold?"

Mingtang raised his hand and touched his forehead, the temperature was quite normal, "Probably not, it's probably due to the weather these days, it's a little dry, lack of water, so the throat is itchy."

"You're wearing too thin, and Xichuan is cold, so you should take a pack of cold medicine to prevent it." After speaking, Lu Changfeng went to his office to get a pack of cold medicine for him.

"thank you."

Lu Changfeng waved his hand gracefully to signal him not to say thank you, but to continue watching the video.

After reading for about two hours, Mingtang felt that his eyelids were a little hard to lift, and he raised his hand to touch his forehead. The temperature was still quite normal, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Ming team, Deputy Lu, we found something."

Talking YangMeng.

Everyone gathered again.

YangMeng rewinds the surveillance video for about 1 minute. In the surveillance screen, a woman who is tightly covered enters the restroom of the hotel with a mobile phone. About 3 minutes later, she comes out of the bathroom with the mobile phone in her hand. gone.

Mingtang said: "You immediately take a screenshot to enlarge the phone case, and show it to Zhou Qiang to identify, ahem—"

Lu Changfeng raised his hand and touched Mingtang's forehead, and then touched his own. He felt that Mingtang's temperature was obviously high, so he went to the forensic room and asked them to borrow a thermometer to measure Mingtang's temperature.

Zhou Qiang confirmed that the phone he picked up was the one in the video, because the phone case was exactly the same.

Lu Changfeng said: "Immediately send the screenshot of the woman in the surveillance video to my mobile phone, and I will use it to identify Yu Wanwan's family."

They are not familiar with Yu Wanwan. The woman in the photo is wearing a mask and a hat. They can't tell if it is Yu Wanwan at all. They can only identify it through the close people around Yu Wanwan. Only close people like them , to confirm whether this person is Yu Wanwan through his body shape.

Before leaving, Lu Changfeng looked at Mingtang's thermometer, and it was 38.2 degrees, which was considered a fever.

So he took Mingtang out by the way, found a clinic to hang him, and then went to find Yu Wanwan's parents for identification.

Mingtang only felt his eyes were on fire, and it was very uncomfortable to sit there.

He also reminded Qiu Shaoyang to keep warm and not catch a cold, but he was the one who got caught first.

Mingtang squinted in the clinic for a while, there were two bottles of water hanging, and it took about four hours to hang, so he must not be going back so soon.

Qiu Shaoyang originally planned to stay at home, but he thought that he had made an appointment with Ming Tang, and he would eat breakfast made by Ming Tang the next morning, so after eleven o'clock, after his grandfather rested, he returned to his home.

It was past twelve o'clock when Mingtang was still not home, so Qiu Shaoyang couldn't help being a little puzzled, so he called Mingtang.

The first Ming Tang did not receive it.

The female nurse on duty walked to Ming Tang's side, woke him up, and reminded him that he had a phone call.

Mingtang just received the second call from Qiu Shaoyang.

"Hey."

"What's wrong with you." Qiu Shaoyang suddenly felt something was wrong, Ming Tang's voice was too weak.

Mingtang wanted to say it was okay, but he coughed first, and seeing that he couldn't hide it, he said the truth: "I have a cold."

"Then did you go to the hospital?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.

Mingtang said that he was hanging water in the clinic.

Qiu Shaoyang asked him for his address, and Mingtang wanted to tell him not to come, but Qiu Shaoyang refused and insisted on the address, so Mingtang could only send a location.

After hanging up the phone, Mingtang called Lu Changfeng again.

Lu Changfeng asked: "Have you finished hanging the water?"

Mingtang said no.

"So it's almost over?"

Mingtang said: "No, I called you to say that you don't need to pick me up, Qiu Shaoyang is here."

"Oh~" Lu Changfeng said with twists and turns, "I understand, I understand."

"You know what a fart, cough cough—"

"I see. I won't bother you much."

Mingtang finished hanging water here, and waited for Qiu Shaoyang at the door for about 10 minutes. Qiu Shaoyang did not drive his own Audi today, but drove a Maybach. Therefore, when Qiu Shaoyang's car stopped in front of Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang got off the car, Mingtang Only then did I realize that this was Qiu Shaoyang.

Qiu Shaoyang came to him quickly and asked, "How do you feel now?"

Mingtang said truthfully: "Fortunately, after hanging the water, it won't be so uncomfortable."

"Aren't you going back to the police station?"

"Not coming back." Ming Tang said.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "That's good, get in the car and go home."

Ming Tang got into the co-pilot.

"How did you catch a cold?"

Ming Ang said: "We went to Xichuan, and the temperature there was lower than expected, so we caught a cold."

"So that's the case." Qiu Shaoyang asked, "To handle the case?"

Mingtang nodded.

"How is the case going? Is it still the artificial lake case?"

"Yes." Mingtang said: "The case of the artificial lake is almost done. There is no evidence to prove that the suspect is the murderer, so it has been temporarily shelved. Now this case may be related to the case of the artificial lake."

After finishing speaking, Ming Tang made two more engravings.

Qiu Shaoyang said to him: "Forget it, I'd better not talk, lest you feel uncomfortable."

"It's okay." Mingtang wanted to say that it was just a small cold, and he would recover after a night of sleep, but seeing Qiu Shaoyang being so serious, Mingtang felt that he should be obedient and not make Qiu Shaoyang angry.

Almost at the door of the house, Qiu Shaoyang asked: "Have you eaten at night? Are you hungry? Do you want me to buy you something to eat?"

Ming Tang shook his head, "No need, I'm not very hungry now, so you don't need to buy me something."

Qiu Shaoyang stopped being entangled, and went upstairs with Mingtang to go home.

"You go take a hot bath first, and I'll boil a pot of water for you. After drinking the water, sleep and sweat."

Mingtang nodded.

Qiu Shaoyang went into the kitchen to boil water, and added a quilt to Mingtang's room.

It's really cold in the room without a heater, Qiu Shaoyang thought, if there is no heater installed, then buy a heating machine and put it at home, so it won't be too cold by then.

When Ming Tang came out of the shower, Qiu Shaoyang had already poured the water warm for him and put it on the table.

"Drink the warm water." Qiu Shaoyang said.

"Thank you."

Qiu Shaoyang reached out and touched Mingtang's forehead, probably because he had just taken a hot bath and his body temperature was still a little high.

"Wait a few minutes and take your temperature again before going to bed."

Mingtang said: "Don't be so careful, it's just a common cold, and it will be fine tomorrow."

"If it was a common cold, you wouldn't be what you are now. Do you know that you look like a sick cat?"

Qiu Shaoyang found the thermometer at home, a mercury one and an electronic one.

He handed the mercury medicine to Mingtang, and then sat down to look at Mingtang's medicines to see what he should avoid.

About 5 minutes later, Qiu Shaoyang took out the thermometer and looked at it. It was 37.6 degrees, but he had a low fever.I measured it with an electronic thermometer again, and it was 37.8 degrees, not much different.

Qiu Shaoyang said, "Go to sleep."

Don't push me forward, Ming Tang covered me with a thick quilt.

Qiu Shaoyang cared about his appearance, which warmed Ming Tang's heart. He especially hoped that if this could continue, Qiu Shaoyang could always care about him so much.

He didn't forget that he promised Qiu Shaoyang to cook him breakfast, so he got up as soon as the alarm clock rang.

Opening the bedroom door, he saw Qiu Shaoyang who was packing milk.

Ming Tang was a little surprised: "Why do you get up so early?"

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Aren't you going to work? I'll get up and make you breakfast, and then send you to work."

Because Mingtang's car was still at the police station, Qiu Shaoyang said he would take him to work in the morning.

"Go and wash up. It's almost ready to eat when it comes out."

For breakfast, Qiu Shaoyang made scallion pancakes, fried beef, eggs, and ham sausage, which can be wrapped in pancakes and eaten together.

Mingtang saw Qiu Shaoyang's breakfast so sumptuous, and asked him, "You got up early, right?"

Qiu Shao said: "It's okay, you get up at [-]:[-], I know you usually get up at [-] o'clock."

"It was almost 01:30 when I came back last night. It was almost two o'clock when I went to bed. You didn't sleep much."

Mingtang felt a little distressed, he enjoyed Qiu Shaoyang's care of him very much, but he didn't want Qiu Shaoyang to disregard himself for him.

"It's okay." Qiu Shaoyang said nonchalantly, "I'll take you to the police station after the weekend, and you can catch up on sleep when you come back."

Qiu Shaoyang pushed the breakfast he made to Mingtang's side, and said, "Try it."

There is one thing to say, Qiu Shaoyang's pancakes are really delicious.

After breakfast, Qiu Shaoyang took Mingtang's temperature again, and when the questioning returned to normal, he sent Mingtang to work in peace.

This was the first time Qiu Shaoyang sent Mingtang to work, and it was very commemorative for Mingtang.

After sending Ming Tang off, Qiu Shaoyang went home to catch up on sleep, and then began to look at the recipes, how to make up for Ming Tang.

After thinking about it, he chose to make soup for Ming Tang.

And Mingtang was in the city bureau, and the case was also at a loss.

According to the identification of Yu Wanwan's parents, the woman who entered the hot pot restaurant was not Yu Wanwan, because there was a scar on Yu Wanwan's ankle, which was scratched by a stone when she was climbing a mountain in the sun when she was a child.

So, everything is back to square one.

Then there is only one last way left.

Looking for a needle in a haystack.

Look at all the surveillance cameras from Yu Wanwan's home to her work unit, and restore her movement track that day.

Because they are located in the suburbs, the coverage rate of Tianyan is not high, and they can only use a dragnet to check.

But in front of them, there are only two paths.

One is to restore Yu Wanwan's whereabouts.

The other is to find out the real identity of the person who entered the hot pot restaurant with Yu Wanwan's mobile phone at that time.

Mingtang and Lu Changfeng decided to divide their troops into two groups and take a two-pronged approach.Mingtang is responsible for restoring Yu Wanwan's whereabouts, while Lu Changfeng is responsible for finding out the true identity of the mysterious woman.

Mingtang led people along the way to recruit civilian surveillance cameras.

Yu Wanwan always takes the bus to commute, because there is a bus that just gets on from downstairs of her house, and then goes directly to the entrance of the theater, which is very convenient.

So they contacted the bus company, and they retrieved the surveillance video of the bus that Yu Wanwan took a few days before and after Yu Wanwan's disappearance and the surveillance video near the bus stop.

On the other side, Lu Changfeng confirmed the departure direction of the mysterious woman through a certain time point, followed that direction along the way, and finally caught up with an old-fashioned residential area.

Such an old-fashioned residential area extends in all directions, and there is no surveillance video inside. In desperation, Lu Changfeng and the others can only disperse the police force to search along the way.In the old-fashioned residential area, there are not many houses equipped with surveillance cameras, so this clue has basically been broken up to now.

But Lu Changfeng didn't give up, he still confiscated all the videos of the surveillance cameras in the residential area, and all the people who went out of the residential area around the residential area were all taken by him.

Once a person enters a residential area, it is impossible to stay here for a lifetime, so they are going to search for all the women whose physical characteristics match the suspects they want to investigate.

He doesn't believe that people can escape from the ground.

So when the cameras reunited at night, everyone had nothing else to gain, and each carried a bag of USB drives.

Watching monitoring is really a very boring thing that tests patience.

Everyone's task is very heavy.

Qiu Shaoyang did not forget to remind Ming Tang to take the medicine, he was worried that Ming Tang would forget it when he was busy.

A bunch of surveillance cameras watched them dazzled and exhausted.

After staying up until 10:30 in the evening, everyone couldn't stand it any longer, Mingtang told them to go back to rest, and watch it tomorrow if they didn't finish it.

It is the consensus of everyone that Yu Wanwan is more dangerous than good.

Mingtang went back to his dormitory and took some change of clothes.

He has been living in Qiu Shaoyang's house for the past few days, and he has gotten used to it, almost treating Qiu Shaoyang's house as his own.

Mingtang felt that something was wrong, he and Qiu Shaoyang hadn't made much of a difference yet, and he had already moved into someone's house.

But if he suddenly told Qiu Shaoyang that he was not going to live, Qiu Shaoyang would be angry with him.

Mingtang opened the door of Qiu Shaoyang's house, and there was a burst of fragrance.

Qiu Shaoyang was wearing home clothes and fell asleep on the sofa.

Mingtang walked into the bedroom lightly, took the blanket that Qiu Shaoyang gave him last night, and covered Qiu Shaoyang.

Looking at Qiu Shaoyang's beautiful side face, Ming Tang's heart beat faster and wildly.

After watching for a while, Mingtang went back to his room, packed his clothes and went to take a shower.

When he came out of the living room again, Qiu Shaoyang had already woken up.

"When did you come back?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.

Ming Tang said: "It's not long since I came back."

Qiu Shaoyang brought out the soup and said, "I made soup for you to nourish your body."

"It's very fragrant, I can smell it when I open the door."

"That's right." Qiu Shaoyang served him a bowl of soup, "Drink it while it's hot."

At the dinner table, Ming Tang mentioned his house.

"My house has been transferred. I am going to redecorate it during this time. I think your decoration style is good. Why don't you give me a reference."

"You mean this house?"

Mingtang nodded.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "I didn't pretend this is a model house."

The so-called model house is the house used for proofing.

Ming Tang let out an oh.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Since you trust my vision so much, then I will help you make suggestions."

"What style do you like?"

Ming Tang said: "You can do whatever you like, I'm not very picky, you can decorate according to your liking."

"Then how can I do that?" Qiu Shaoyang said, "Your house should be decorated according to my liking, it's outrageous."

"It's okay." Mingtang said heartily, it will be your house from now on, of course it should be decorated according to your preferences.

But he definitely didn't dare to say what he really thought.

So I can only beat around the bush and say: "Your preferences happen to be mine, so just pretend to be according to your preferences."

Qiu Shaoyang didn't think that the two of them had similar preferences, and he didn't know where Ming Tang got it.

But since Mingtang wanted him to pretend, he wouldn't refuse.

Qiu Shaoyang put the ugly words first: "If you pretend to be bad then, you can't blame me."

Mingtang smiled lightly: "No. I like whatever you pretend, no matter what it is."

Qiu Shaoyang gave a spoonful of the soup, then smiled: "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?"

"Will you betray me?" Ming Tang asked.

"That's not sure. If the price is right, maybe I'll sell it."

"Then I don't know how much I will give you, so President Qiu will sell me?"

Qiu Shaoyang smiled and said, "Priceless."

Mingtang's heart beat wildly again.

Recently, the relationship between him and Qiu Shaoyang has become more and more different.

It is changing subtly.

There are no more boundaries between them.

Ming Tang didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

After dinner, Mingtang offered to help Qiu Shaoyang wash the dishes together.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "By the way, I bought a heating machine today. If you turn on the heating at night, it shouldn't be too cold."

Ming Tang was very moved by this, he is not a permanent resident, and after buying this thing, it is basically idle.

But Qiu Shaoyang still bought it for him.

"Thank you."

"What's there to thank for that?"

Mingtang looked at Qiu Shaoyang, and the more he watched, the more he liked him.

So good, he couldn't bear to give it up to anyone.
