Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

Mingtang kept the package of this express delivery.

Lu Changfeng asked: "You don't want to follow the package to find it, do you?"

"That's not true." Mingtang looked at this kind of courier individually, "Now we send courier, for the sake of environmental protection, we almost don't use this kind of multi-part handwritten courier list. They are all stickers. The platform directly scans the order, saving time and convenience. Can't go wrong."

Mingtang said: "Under normal circumstances, this kind of express delivery list is only used by some large companies that often need to send items, because the logistics information in the electronic file will be cleaned up within a year, and it will not be a problem if the paper form is properly kept for three to five years. The other party Since this courier order is commonly used, the way to obtain it will be very limited, and you should pay attention to the number on these courier orders, which are all consecutive numbers, then we only need to go to the courier company to check, this batch of courier orders Whoever is using the odd number before and after the number, or which unit is using it, you can follow it."

"Damn it!!!" Lu Changfeng was stunned.

He didn't even notice such details.

Chao Mingtang gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Nice!"

If the police back then could have thought of this aspect, perhaps the ending would have been different.

Lu Changfeng only felt his blood boil, "I can't wait to go to the courier company to check."

"Let's go then."

Mingtang and the others went to the nearest courier company of this brand, and the other party helped them check all the courier orders before and after, and found that the same company was indeed using it, so they followed the information provided by the courier company to find it.

It is an online clothing store.Their monthly sales can be as high as [-] to [-] pieces of clothing.Therefore, in order to save trouble, they specially found someone to build a system. As long as the customer places an order and pays, the system will immediately print out the courier order and delivery order, and a special person who staples the order will be responsible for binding it.

Since their printers feed paper automatically, when the courier slips are used up, they can just replace them with another stack, so they still have several copies of these old-fashioned courier slips.

However, the work intensity here is too high, and the staff changes very diligently. When Ming Tang and the others asked, the staff all said that they didn't know who had taken their express delivery slips.

And it's just a few courier slips, if you don't have a good courier company, you can just take it, so no one will notice that a few courier slips are missing.

This online shop is located in a remote location, and the other party who picks up the express bills from here is either a staff member of the store or stole them secretly. Ming Tang and Lu Changfeng think it is impossible to steal them, as the employees here said, they are just a few express bills .

"Then how many stacks of courier orders do you usually use a day?"

The staff said: "Basically, there are two boxes per day. One box is about 1000 sheets."

"Then how often does the courier company send you the courier order?"

"once a week."

Through the employee information of their online store, the two found the information of all the staff who were on duty one month before the batch of courier orders were used, as well as the contact information of the salesman who sent the courier company to this online store.

There are a total of 25 employees in the online store, and the salesmen who delivered the orders to them were different four times, so Mingtang wrote down their information respectively, and went back to the courier company to check the information of these salesmen.

According to the description of one of the couriers who delivered the bills, he did take a batch of express bills and gave them to a woman.

According to his recollection, it was the woman who asked him for the courier bill, but he didn’t bring it with her, so she gave him a few online store bills. Anyway, these courier bills are free, and they will be accepted only after they are sent out. But there is a fee.

"Then do you remember what that woman looked like?" Ming Tang asked.

The salesman said he didn't remember, "I just know it's a woman."

"Do you remember where and the courier you asked for?"

The clerk said, "The area where I deliver the package is just the area of ​​Tonghua Road. I don't remember which area it is."

Mingtang and the others checked the specific situation of Tonghua Road. There are not only residential areas, but also kindergartens, nursing homes, and large supermarkets. The population density is very high. It is conservatively estimated that there are 10 people in this block.

Even if it is accurate to this range, it will be difficult to continue to check.

It was almost certain that the people who threatened Zhou Linfeng lived in this block, and they were already very close to the truth.

Just give up?

Mingtang and Lu Changfeng silently looked at the data map of the neighborhood on the screen.

Just give up and let the other party get away with it?

Lu Changfeng couldn't do it. He promised Zhou Linfeng's parents that if he wanted to find the person who harassed Zhou Linfeng, he would do it.

Lu Changfeng and Chen Yanjia said: "Help me screen out all the data of women aged 15-45 from the second half of last year to now."

Ming Tang thought about it, this scope is really too big, and some parts should be simplified, "Exclude those whose check-in time is later than Zhou Linfeng's alarm time, and those who live earlier than that time but have lived for less than 3 months and are not from the province. Those whose activity range is not near the public phone booth in the suburbs and who do not know how to drive are also excluded."

The check-in time was later than the time when Zhou Linfeng called the police, so it didn't match the time when the salesman gave the order.

People who lived for less than three months and who are not from the province are unlikely to have any grudge against Zhou Linfeng.

The time to call Zhou Linfeng was early in the morning. If he didn't know how to drive, how would he go to the suburbs to call Zhou Linfeng?Mingtang thinks that it is unlikely that there will be a driver who will take someone to the suburbs in the middle of the night to make a threatening phone call and then bring him back to the city. This will definitely be regarded as a mental illness, so this person will definitely drive.

Or they guessed wrong, and it was not the same person who actually threatened the letters and phone calls.But Mingtang intuitively told her that it was just one person.

After excluding this feature, the remaining number is less than 100.

And this number should be more accurate.

Mingtang and Lu Changfeng took these materials, found the salesman, and asked him to identify them to see if they were among these people.

However, the final result was not among these people. Mingtang and Lu Changfeng were unavoidably a little discouraged. They couldn't figure out what went wrong with the scope of this investigation?

Could it be that the other party really just came here to live for a while?

The two smoked the remaining half pack of cigarettes together.

"What should I do next?" Lu Changfeng was extremely irritable, "I can't think of any other way to go."

For this reason, he still can't find out. He doesn't understand where the problem lies.

Through the courier list, the salesman was locked and the range was locked, and then the second screening by Mingtang was indeed no problem.

Is it possible that this person can disappear out of thin air?

"There must be something we have overlooked." Mingtang insisted that their direction was not wrong.

But he couldn't figure out what he had overlooked.

Lu Changfeng's cell phone rang at this moment.

He glanced at it, and saw an incoming call from an unfamiliar number, marked it as a scam, hung up and blocked it.

After the operation was over, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Telephone!"

One word awakened the dreamer.

Mingtang also wanted to understand.

This person knows Zhou Linfeng's personal number, so she should at least have some contact with Zhou Linfeng.

There is no intersection, where did she get Zhou Linfeng's personal number?

Mingtang asked Lu Changfeng: "Shall we go for a field survey?"

Of course he was referring to the phone booth in the suburbs.

"Walk."

Mingtang asked Chen Yanjia to give him the address, and he and Lu Changfeng went first.

Chen Yanjia shook her head helplessly. She agreed that the entire criminal investigation team would cooperate with her work. In the end, her main team and deputy team were the busiest. These two people have basically not stopped since they took the case.

And other people seem to be in a different world from them.

According to the address given by Chen Yanjia, they successfully found the location of the phone booth.

The degree of remoteness is beyond words.

The phone booth is in the corner of an old park, and you can't even see it if you don't pay attention, let alone use it.

Mingtang didn't even know how the other party found this place, it wasn't too late when they arrived, and there was basically no one else in the vicinity except the occasional passing car.It was early in the morning when I made the call back then, if I could find any witnesses, I'm afraid it would be hell.

And this neighborhood is basically sparsely populated, people have moved to the new area, there are only three headlights in the park, the distance is pitch black, and the surveillance camera is also a non-existent thing.

It's understandable not to install a monitoring hall here, after all, there is not a single ghost, and it would be a waste to install it.

"Tell me, how does the other party know that this call can be made in a place where ghosts don't come?"

Mingtang: "Unless she tried."

Lu Changfeng snapped his fingers, "I don't think there are many people who will come here and try to make a call."

"Look it up and you'll find out."

Mingtang immediately sent a message to Chen Yanjia, asking her to investigate.

It is said to be remote, but it is only a 5-minute drive from the new district, so it is not particularly remote.

You can also see a lot of fireworks tubes on the ground. If you want to come here, there are also people who come to set off fireworks.

The terrain is remote, and no one can control the small fireworks.

Soon, Chen Yanjia found the call records and sent the owner's information to Ming Tang.

However, it is still disappointing. Before Zhou Linfeng's call was broadcast, a total of 17 calls were made, each of which had little to do with Zhou Linfeng. They were basically made during holidays or weekends. Maybe they came here It may have been played by a young couple, or by a naughty child.

However, Mingtang still asked them to check them one by one.

Of course, the final result is not surprising at all. The 17 phone owners all said that they just made the phone calls out of curiosity.

With such an ending again, Mingtang has become numb.

Lu Changfeng knocked on the phone booth: "Here, there must be money."

That's natural, "Don't tell me you want coin fingerprints."

"Why not?"

"People from the Trace Inspection Department will definitely kill you."

In the end, the two found someone to take all the coins back, but fortunately there were only more than 30 coins.

The staff looked at them like idiots.

When they came to the trace inspection department with coins, they were directly thrown out.

Tang Yan was immediately furious: "You guys are really good at extracting fingerprints from old coins."

Although the complaint was a complaint, he still led the people for two hours to figure it out.

A total of 23 fingerprints were extracted, and only two were usable, and they had called at that time.

After two hours of hard work, this line was also broken.

Now they really have nothing to do.

"Let's let it go for now." Mingtang felt that if they forcefully searched, there would be no good results, so it's better to start with a few other people and see if there are any other discoveries.

Let me know if Zhou Linfeng called the police, Zheng Ping'an and Wang Qi did not receive harassing calls, but received harassing text messages, this time it was not sent by someone, but someone sent a courier order and sent it directly to the courier station .

However, the above name, address, and contact information are all fake.

The receiving point is a courier point on a main road.

However, half a year has passed since the shortest time, and I don't know if the monitoring can still be found.

Lu Changfeng said: "Well, let's go to this courier point tomorrow and see if we can find out who sent the courier."

Mingtang agrees very much, there is no better way besides this.

Back in the dormitory, after Mingtang took a shower, Qiu Shaoyang had already fallen asleep at this point.

He looked through their recent chat records and felt that he owed Qiu Shaoyang a little.

I went online to read the latest reports on this incident, basically waiting for their news.

Only then did Ming Tang put down his phone and go to sleep.

He had a long, long dream of himself running on the playground of the police academy, and his best brother Yuan Ce.

That's good. They go to the playground every night to run, imagining that one day in the future, they can fight side by side, like their predecessors, on the anti-drug front, and maybe what they have in the end is just an unnamed tombstone. An unsung hero.

Young self, go forward bravely, can overcome all difficulties.

Full of youth and vitality.

But suddenly, the dream changed.

The brother who was born and died together, walked side by side with him, was suddenly shot in the head and fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.

There was still the smell of gunpowder on his forehead, and the black hole was bleeding all the time. He watched his brother slowly close his eyes.

Suddenly, the person lying in his arms turned into Qiu Shaoyang.

"Ring-ring--"

Mingtang turned headfirst from the bed, his pajamas were completely soaked with sweat, and his forehead was densely covered with beads of sweat.

He took a deep breath, took the phone, it was the alarm clock at six o'clock in the morning.

Seeing himself in the dormitory, the abnormal heart rate slowly stabilized.

Fortunately, everything is just a dream.

But the scene in the dream really scared him a lot, thinking about it now, his heart aches badly.

It had been a long time since he had nightmares about his dead colleagues and Yuan Ce.

Maybe it's really too much pressure recently.

Mingtang thought, after finishing this case, ask for a leave of absence from the bureau, and take a good rest for a while.

After brushing his teeth, Mingtang still couldn't feel at ease.

He looked at the time, Qiu Shaoyang hadn't gotten up yet, and he didn't want to call to disturb him.

But if he didn't fight, he couldn't feel at ease in his heart.

After hesitating again and again, he still called, just to disturb him this time, just once.

Qiu Shaoyang heard the ringtone in a daze, picked up the phone without looking at who it was, "Hello?"

The moment he heard the voice, Mingtang's hanging heart fell to the ground, and he said softly, "It's me."

Qiu Shaoyang woke up halfway from dozing off, "Ming team is so early, is something wrong?"

"No." Mingtang chuckled, "I just miss you so much."

"Then I feel it, otherwise you wouldn't have called me early in the morning." Qiu Shaoyang chuckled, "Then start the video, as long as you don't mind that I don't wash my face and have no image."

"I don't mind." Ming Tang said: "We have slept in a room and a bed, I have even seen you without clothes."

"Ming team, don't you know that I will respond in the morning? Is it appropriate to tease your partner here early in the morning?"

Ming Tang chuckled, and deliberately lowered his voice: "So, my little partner is very energetic now."

Almost killed Qiu Shaoyang: "Mingtang, do you have itchy skin? Do you want to be beaten?"

"I want to see my big object, big object, video?"

Qiu Shaoyang hung up the phone, dialed the video, and Mingtang answered it immediately.

Qiu Shaoyang opened one eye and glanced at him, "You eat so early?"

Mingtang nodded: "Yeah, I'm going to visit with Lu Changfeng later, so I got up a little earlier."

"Is there a clue to the case?"

"I have some, but they are still fragmented and can't be put together."

"Don't be afraid, when you get more information, maybe you can work together."

"Lend your auspicious words."

Qiu Shaoyang smiled: "So, did you have a nightmare due to too much pressure?"

"How did you know?"

"Did you look in the mirror in the morning and didn't see how serious your dark circles are?" Qiu Shaoyang was very speechless, "Look at your redness."

Ming Tang smiled, "It's fine."

"Bullshit." Qiu Shaoyang turned around and said, "If it's really all right, where did so many sudden deaths come from?"

"I'll take a rest after I'm done with this case, and then I'll be a good boyfriend for you 24 hours a day at home."

"If you can't do it, don't make promises there. Flags are the most embarrassing."

"Absolutely serious." Ming Tang held up three fingers, "I swear to God, I will accompany you when the time comes, just in case you think I'm too clingy and don't want me."

Qiu Shaoyang chuckled: "Do you know where your place is the best?"

"do not know."

"You've always been very self-aware."

Qiu Shaoyang said: "My influence on you before was really too rigid, and I gradually discovered that you are not only not aloof, but also a warm-hearted man, not to mention giving people a sense of security, you are also clingy. "

"Is it because I'm too clingy, you don't like it?"

"I wish you could cling to me." Qiu Shaoyang couldn't help laughing when he remembered the first time they met.

"What are you laughing at?" Ming Tang looked confused.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "The first inspection, I don't think it's against you to go out of the police station and become a gangster. I will believe that you have more than a dozen lives on your body."

Mingtang also laughed: "Didn't I tell you that? I shaved my body and went to the hospital to have the stitches removed. When grandpa and aunt saw me, they would walk around."

"Haha." Qiu Shaoyang rolled on the bed.

When he turned over, he threw the quilt away, and Ming Tang immediately became serious, "Cover the quilt."

Qiu Shaoyang covered the quilt, "Understood, Mother Ming."

Ming Tang laughed: "Sleep alone with the quilt covered, be careful not to catch a cold."

Qiu Shaoyang held up the phone for him to see, "I've covered it well."

"Well, Baby Qiu is the most obedient."

Mingtang remembered the first time he met Qiu Shaoyang, and asked him: "Do you want to know, my first impression of you?"

"It's definitely not a good impression."

"You are also quite self-aware." Ming Tang said: "At that time you were like a hedgehog, who knew that you are so obedient and soft now. I have no doubt that you will use her hair when you pull Pan Meiyun's hair." Your face is mopping to the floor, I never thought you would be so fierce when you are so thin, and the words you say in summer are more bone-piercing than the ice in winter."

"I have always treated people with courtesy if they don't offend me. If someone offends me, I will be punished no matter how far away."

"I can see it." Mingtang said: "I started to change my view of you, and it was when you and I went to Zeyang when you were hanging the corpse case."

"Do you think my bulingbuling is glowing?"

"Yeah, handsome and smart, he directly captured my thumping little heart."

"Damn you." Qiu Shaoyang thought about it carefully, Mingtang fell in love with him, probably after Zeyang came back, when he offered to help in Xu Shuwen's case.

Mingtang was exposed and said cheekily: "Anyway, you can't run away. You ate the wontons made by my mother. You are my daughter-in-law who has never been in the Ming family."

"It's really shameless."

"Daughter-in-law, when will you come to see your in-laws?"

"Don't you want to rest? Then pick a weekend to go back to see your in-laws. Anyway, I'm free every weekend."

"daughter in law."

"Huh?" Qiu Shaoyang was puzzled.

Mingtang smiled and rolled his eyes: "Daughter-in-law, I love you."

With a bang, the phone hit Qiu Shaoyang directly in the face.

"Ah—" Qiu Shaoyang cried out in pain.

"Are you all right? Where did you hit it?" Mingtang looked at the darkness inside the phone, and knew that the hit just now must have been serious, so his heart ached.

Qiu Shaoyang picked up the phone, tears streaming down his face: "Ming Tang."

"Yes." Ming Tang felt distressed seeing his pitiful appearance.

Qiu Shaoyang said angrily: "What you said just now doesn't count, I want to hear you tell me face to face, do you hear me?"

"Okay. You have the final say." Mingtang looked at his face carefully, but didn't see any obvious injuries, and asked, "Do you feel serious? No, go to the hospital for an examination."

"What kind of image do you think I am in your heart? Is there such a precious thing that you will go to the hospital after smashing your phone?"

Mingtang said: "I regard it as a treasure, and it is naturally extremely precious."

Knowing that it was sweet talk, Qiu Shaoyang was very happy to hear it.

Sure enough, falling in love lowers IQ.

"Mingtang." Qiu Shaoyang suddenly became extremely serious.

Mingtang suddenly became nervous: "Yes."

"In the future, if you have any unhappiness or discomfort, you can talk to me. I am your other half. You share everything about you with me. I am happy to listen. It is my honor to help you solve problems. , if we can’t solve it, we will bear it together, understand?”

Tears welled up in Mingtang's eyes, he was very moved: "I know."

The two talked on the phone until 07:30, Ming Tang reluctantly hung up the phone, packed his things and went out to the police station.
