This is a question of the way of handling the case. Previously, they had been looking for traces of whether Xu Ran had been at the crime scene, whether bloodstains, fingerprints, or even footprint inspection, were all to prove this point. Evidence cannot prove that Qu Ran has been there, and Xu Ran is not a criminal. This is a typical presumption of innocence.
But this case is different. From the very beginning, the emergence of online public opinion has made a presumption of guilt against Xu Ran. The public believes that Xu Ran is a criminal, forcing them to find out Xu Ran's alibi, otherwise Xu Ran is a criminal.
It may be a mouthful to say, but you see, Li Jingtian designed it like this.
The only loophole here, coincidentally, was in Li Jingtian.
Xing Conglian slowly picked up the phone and dialed the number of the police officer of the Trace Inspection Division.
"The punishment team, please, I really haven't finished it yet. You are trying to kill me!"
Before waiting for Cong Lian to speak, the police officer hurriedly cried and said, his voice was a little hoarse, obviously he had stayed up all night like them.
"You don't need to check these." Xing Conglian said.
"Ah? What, can I call it quits?" the policeman asked in astonishment.
"No, go get a fingerprint."
"Oh, fingerprints on what?"
"Clothes." Xing Conglian said slowly, "Cha Xu Ran's bloody clothes."
"What, the squad, the fabric is so absorbent that you can hardly find fingerprints on it, and whose fingerprints do you want to put on Xu Ran's clothes?"
"Xu Ran's blood coat has two decorative belts on the shoulders, on which to check Li Jingtian's fingerprints." Xing Conglian stated very clearly.
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, an excited shout came: "I, I, I know! Awesome!"
After the police officer on the other end of the phone shouted, there was the sound of desks and chairs colliding, the sound of opening and closing doors, and the sound of running echoing in the empty corridor. For any police officer, there is nothing like it. Finding clues is even more exciting.
Xing Conglian hung up the phone silently, he turned off the computer page, his face was calm and indifferent.
The room fell into deadly silence again.
Sitting beside him, Lin Chen only felt mixed feelings in his heart. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
However, Xing Conglian spoke again: "Go and wake up the dynasty."
Lin Chen glanced at him hesitantly.
Xing Conglian said: "Time is running out, we have to hurry up, we will go to CA company to find Li Gaoqiang later, to check whether Li Jingtian was at the Royal No. 1 Club on the day of the crime, and meet Mu Zhuo by the way, so you have to make an appointment in advance. Find a breakthrough in Song Shengsheng's case."
"An old case from nine years ago?"
"Is Consultant Lin not confident?"
It's rare for Lin Chen to feel a little relieved: "How come?"
After he finished speaking, he stood up, looked at the young man who fell asleep across from him, and said to Xing Conglian, "Put him on the sofa and let him sleep a little longer."
Xing Conglian was stunned for a while, and then showed a very disgusting expression, but he still walked over according to his words, picked up the dynasty, and slowly put the person on the sofa.
At the moment when Xing Conglian drew his hand, Chao Dynasty suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Xing Conglian with very frightened eyes: "What the hell, boss?"
At that time, Xing Conglian was still maintaining the posture of the princess hugging the dynasty. He quickly pulled out his hand and said angrily, "Shut up and go to sleep."
The dynasty then snorted and fell asleep again.
Lin Chen found a coat, put it on Wang Chao, and walked to the young man's computer. Before he sat down, Wang Chao's slight snoring had already sounded.
Looking at the young man's tender face covered with black hair and long eyelashes, Lin Chen said to Xing Conglian, "The story of the last time is not over yet."
Xing Conglian quickly understood what he was referring to. It was rare that they could say one or two other things in a very tense moment, and when they said it, they didn't need any other foreshadowing: "I When it arrived, half of the people had been killed, and the floor was covered with corpses and blood. In places like Africa, the temperature was relatively high, so the corpses decomposed very quickly. The truth is that if you die, you will never come back, so the first sentence after seeing me, he asked me: Am I no longer able to talk to my parents?"
Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian again, and in a split second, he was hit by a huge sadness, but he didn't regret asking this question, and he didn't even regret asking this question now.
"How did you answer?" he demanded.
"This question is too difficult to answer. If it was Consultant Lin, what would he say?" Xing Conglian asked him back.
Lin Chen thought for a while and replied, "I would say: Yes, but you can still talk."
Xing Conglian smiled and lit a cigarette: "Consultant Lin doesn't think your answer is too profound for a ten-year-old child?" "Even though your parents are dead, you're alive, you're lucky enough to speak, and more importantly, because you're alive and you can speak, you have the opportunity to be heard by those who are alive around the world Those words, hearing your parents' stories..."
Lin Chen asked back, "What did Captain Xing say at the time?"
"Oh, I said, yeah boy, so you messed with me later."
"So he just followed you obediently?" Lin Chen asked in disbelief.
"Of course not at the beginning. Later, I took him to the largest Alien store in the area and bought all the latest computers, and he was convinced." Xing Conglian looked like he was rich.
"Really?" Lin Chen asked suspiciously, "You really answered him that way?"
"Of course I have to analyze the sentence I said very well, because you must not say it." Xing Conglian coughed shamelessly.
"Does he understand?"
"Of course not, he's so stupid..." Xing Conglian sighed. From beginning to end, he said this in a very leisurely tone, as if he was talking about trivial matters.
Lin Chen didn't ask about the next content, he thought, that should be the content of the next decomposition.
He clicked on the information compiled by Dynasty and began to read it.
Although the deceased cannot speak, the living still have the opportunity to tell the unfinished story for them.
…
When Xing Conglian's phone rang again, Dynasty was the first to wake up.
The young man jumped up from the sofa suddenly, looking like he wanted to defend his family and defend the country and die heroically.
Xing Conglian motioned for the dynasty to keep silent, and then turned on the phone.
It was a very tense moment. The result of the appraisal determined the direction of their subsequent investigation, and even the direction of the entire unfinished story.
"Squad! No! Really not!!"
The police officer on the other end of the phone had apparently just finished everything and was still gasping for his words.
"What's wrong?" Dynasty couldn't help asking.
"On the two leather decorative bands on Xu Ranxue's shoulders, no fingerprints belonging to Li Jingtian have been extracted!"
The moment I learned the truth, the air suddenly froze.
They all became silent, and even the police officer on the other end of the phone stopped talking. Even Dynasty knew that it was not appropriate to speak now.
The surroundings were icy cold, and after a while, the gelatinous air began to flow slowly.
No Li Jingtian's fingerprints were detected on Xu Ran's shoulder strap, proving that she was not the fan who was hugged by Li Jingtian, proving that she did not go to the fan meeting, proving that the person who tried to cut Li Jingtian's throat was not her , which also proved that she was indeed mistaken for a murderer, and died innocently under the pursuit of Li Jingtian's fans.
These results, although they have long expected, but the moment when they find evidence to prove all this, it is still too sad to speak.
Finally, Wang Chao spoke first: "Then, Xu Ran's suspicion has been cleared, he has not been to the scene?" The young man asked with some difficulty.
Lin Chen nodded to him.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Wang Chao asked.
Even the police officer on the other end of the phone said, "Criminal squad, this result is out now, what should we do?"
In fact, the question they asked was the same question. Although the expressions were different and incomplete, what they wanted to ask was that the result of the fingerprint identification came out and Xu Ran's suspicion was cleared. What should we do with this result
If it is an ordinary case, the police can send a case report, but the problem is that the case report of Li Jingtian's throat cutting case is not so easy to write. First of all, the police have not yet identified the real suspect, so they only report Xu Xu. The problem of contamination is not so appropriate, and it is easy to be used as a target again, becoming a proof of the police's incompetence or questionable position.
Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian, who was also looking at him.
"What do consultant Lin think?"
"Send." Lin Chen said.
Xing Conglian rarely raised the corners of his lips, half a smile, but his eyes were cold. He said to the police officer on the other end of the phone, "I will notify the propaganda department to issue an announcement, thank you for your hard work."
"But, Xing Team, this!" The police officer on the other end of the phone wanted to say something else, but Xing Conglian decisively hung up the phone.
"Boss, this is for Mao again!" Chao Dynasty still looked like "I'm very confused", "If we sent Xu Ran's case notice, what would Li Jingtian do if he immediately bought a plane ticket and went back to his country in Daxinni? !"
"That's why I need you to monitor Mr. Li Jingtian's passport movement immediately." Lin Chen said to the dynasty calmly.
"WHAT!?? WHY??"
"Do you think it's just a problem between us and Li Jingtian now?" Lin Chen asked back.
"Is not it?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "The question now is, who has more credibility."
"Is it that complicated?"
"Li Jingtian is a singer with a good reputation. He has a large number of fans and is good at controlling public opinion. We have no concrete evidence to prove his criminal facts. He is still innocent and high above; and we police, you know, we We have always been in an embarrassing situation, and our investigation results are often questioned by the public, so how do we win this public opinion war with Li Jingtian?"
"I don't know!" Wang Chao thought about it for a while, still confused, he turned around and asked, "Boss, you have so many hearts, do you think Hong Kong?"
"We're going to force him to buy a plane ticket to return to China." Xing Conglian looked like you were so stupid.
Lin Chen explained: "It's very simple, when we send a notice to prove that Xu Ran is not a criminal suspect, it will have a huge public opinion effect, and Li Jingtian will be pushed to the forefront again. If Li Jingtian buys a plane ticket and returns to China at this time, what will it look like? ?"
"Like... absconding in fear of crime?" Wang Chao's eyes widened, "You guys are so sinister, but, will Li Jingtian really leave, and if he buys a plane ticket and returns to China, wouldn't it be difficult for us to catch him again?"
"So, this is a double-edged sword." Lin Chen touched his head and said, "But for us, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In this kind of thing, we always have to gamble."
"Okay! Ah Chen, how are we going to bet?"
Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian and asked, "What does Captain Xing mean?"
"We went to CA company to find Xu Ran's rape case, the only possible witness, Mr. Li Gaoqiang."
"So, is this to force Li Jingtian one more time?" Chao Dynasty snapped his fingers, and finally seemed to have realized something, "Are you afraid that he won't buy a plane ticket to return to China?"
Xing Conglian picked up the phone and jacket on the table, but did not answer.
[two]
Lin Chen always felt that the reason why Xing Conglian dared to make dangerous moves is because he was very confident, as if Li Jingtian was hiding in the Xinni embassy, sitting on the flight back home, or even when Li Jingtian stepped into Xinni. After entering the territory, he has the ability to bring him to justice. Although Lin Chen doesn't know why Xing Conglian is so confident, it is always good to be confident.
The time was 7:30 in the morning. They took a taxi from the Internet cafe next to Hong Street to the CA company.
There are also benefits of not having a car. For example, Xing Conglian doesn't have to continue to drive fatigued after staying up late. For example, they can also listen to the idle driver and say a word or two of gossip.
After getting in the car, Xing Conglian sat in the co-pilot and only said to them: I fell asleep quickly, and I fell into a deep sleep, and I couldn't be shaken.
Wang Chao glanced forward, then twisted his ass excitedly, and said to him, "Achen, how about we get out of the car and dump the boss now."
Lin Chen pretended not to hear, there were more and more vehicles outside the window, and the road surface was completely different from that in the middle of the night. Fengchun was much larger than Hongjing, and its scale was only slightly worse than that of Yongchuan. There are many headquarters of multinational companies in China. For example, CA Entertainment is one of them.
When passing through the city center, the huge poster that flashed outside the window attracted all Lin Chen's attention.
On the poster is a young man holding a microphone. He is lying on the grass that seems to stretch indefinitely, laughing loudly. The most impressive thing in the whole picture is Mu Zhuo. Small half dimple on cheek.
Infinitely magnifying the huge outdoor poster also seems to infinitely magnify the youthful vigor of the young man. He is so enthusiastic and energetic that it almost burns people's eyes.
At the bottom of the huge advertisement, there is an equally huge slogan. As the vehicle moved, Lin Chen turned his head and read it out softly: "Century Years Stadium, on May 6th, Mu Zhuo is waiting for you."
"Achen, are you talking about that poster?" Chao Dynasty asked him suddenly after turning his head around for a long time.
"Yeah." Lin Chen turned his head, and always felt that there was a very inexplicable emotion in the middle. When he turned back and wanted to look at the poster again, he couldn't see anything.
"CA company I found something really wrong, everything likes to make it so big, even a concert poster has to be so exaggerated." Probably thinking of the huge poster of Li Jingtian in Ansheng International Shopping Mall, the dynasty is not angry Make a call.
"Hey, this gentleman, are you here to listen to Mu Zhuo's concert?" the driver suddenly asked.
"Uh... No, I'm just curious." Wang Chao replied.
"I have received a lot of music fans in the past few days. Isn't it the Watermelon Music Festival recently? Many people come to our concerts in spring. Is Mu Zhuo famous?"
"Do you know him too?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yeah, the little girls in the car I picked up were noisy, and they told me a lot about this Mu Zhuo." The driver said with a thumbs up, "It is said that it is not easy. I've been beaten by a man before, and I've persevered. It's said that it's still quite popular now?"
"It seems so." Lin Chen replied.
"It's worthy of respect, it's really not easy." The driver said again with emotion.
Hearing what Mr. Driver said, the young man who indulged in laughter on the lawn once again appeared in Lin Chen's mind. When investigating the information of Song Shengsheng's case, he also more or less saw the news about Mu Zhuo at that time. , the public opinion at that time showed infinite sympathy for Mu Zhuo, which was completely different from the treatment Xu Ran was subjected to now.
You see, this is social prejudice. It is easy for people to hold an unjust and unreasonable negative attitude towards a certain type of person or group. This is unreasonable and unreasonable for no reason, but it is deeply ingrained.
Lin Chen once again remembered what the driver said about this strong singer. Although he should sympathize with the victims no matter what, Mu Zhuo made Lin Chen feel indescribable. For some reason, he always felt that face Kong, gradually overlapped with Song Shengsheng's face.
Because of the traffic jam on the road, they arrived at CA Entertainment Company at 8:30. In fact, this time was very good, allowing Xing Conglian to have enough rest time. At the same time, this happened to be the set work time for most units.
Xing Conglian looked sleepy when he opened his eyes, but he quickly woke up. After he got out of the car, he lit a cigarette, looked at the towering office building and walked in without saying a word.
Just the moment he walked into the revolving door, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the city bureau's publicity outlet.
In fact, Xing Conglian never called the Publicity Section of the Municipal Bureau during the period from when they got on the bus to when they got off the bus. He seemed to be stuck at the right time. The phone went out.
He said simply: "Give me a report on the wounding case of Ansheng International Shopping Center on May 6. The general content is that Xu Ran, the deceased who has been verified on the Internet, did not actually go to the scene of the crime, so I hereby refute the rumor and clarify..."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, but it's just that it's very difficult for us to deal with the crime squad. We don't even have any suspects. If we directly issue a clarification announcement, it will appear that the police are very incompetent.
However, Xing Conglian insisted: "It's okay, I have posted it on Weibo, newspapers and major news media. Anyway, scolding is also scolding me. What are you afraid of?"
When he walked to the front desk, he hung up the phone, pinched the phone and knocked on the desk of the lady at the front desk, and then took out the police badge from his pocket with the other hand and flashed: "I'm looking for Li Gaoqiang."
The lady at the front desk was a little stunned. She hurriedly put down the puff and asked habitually, "Do you have an appointment?"
Xing Conglian put down his police badge and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I really don't have one."
"Then... Then I'll call you and ask."
Xing Conglian stared at the little girl's face and said lightly, "Dynasty?"
Comrade Wang Chao was very clever and said directly: "The office of the public relations department is on the 25th floor, please."
Xing Conglian nodded and walked inward.
The security guard in the lobby noticed them long ago, but in broad daylight, no one dared to stop a police officer who came to handle the case, not to mention that the entertainment company is of course different from the entertainment club, so after informing the front desk, they came unhindered. to the elevator.
At this time, Xing Conglian gave the dynasty a wink.
Comrade Wang Chao quickly understood, he held down another elevator, and when the elevator door opened, Wang Dynasty blocked the door in a dashing manner, apparently to prevent Manager Li on the 25th floor from escaping ahead of schedule.
Xing Conglian walked into another elevator, with a flamboyant appearance, as if he was afraid that everyone in CA company would not know of their arrival, so when he reached the 25th floor, there were already staff from the public relations department waiting at the elevator entrance.
"Where's your manager?" Xing Conglian glanced at the badge of the female employee at the elevator entrance, which clearly read the words CA Entertainment Public Relations Department.
"Our manager hasn't gone to work today, I'm sorry, Mr. police officer."
"It's okay, we can go to his office and wait."
How could someone like Xing Conglian be fooled by the words "Our manager didn't go to work". After he finished speaking, he took another step towards the office.
The female employees in the office all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but in the mentality of watching the excitement, there were even flash lights in the room, and many people took pictures of them secretly.
When he walked past the staff wall, Xing Conglian suddenly stopped, and Lin Chen looked at it, and instantly stopped.
The staff wall is naturally the staff wall of CA Entertainment's public relations department. In the column of the department manager, it is naturally the manager Mr. Li Gaoqiang whom they did not see yesterday.
But looking at the photo embedded on the staff wall, Lin Chen couldn't help sighing secretly.
Coincidentally, Mr. Li looked very familiar, and even more coincidentally, last night, this gentleman was also surnamed Lu and Xu.
