"Ai Xiaonan, do you know why you were sent here?"
Zhao Shaolong said, looking at Ai Xiaonan, who is nearly fifty years old and still so timid, he still can't imagine that the key to unraveling the mystery that has been stranded for eighteen years would be on such a person.
She did not speak, pursed her mouth vigorously, and lowered her head heavily. Zhao Shaolong motioned to the two policewomen who accompanied him behind him. As a way of buffering, one supported her and the other poured her a glass of water.
How long has it been since he experienced this direct questioning method? Deputy Director Zhao Shaolong can't remember clearly. There is really no one in the team, and several experts have been sent out. Under the supervision of the leader, he naturally did his part. After thinking about it, I changed to a direct way of speaking: "Then let me ask directly. I found 21 remittance records in three banks, 17 of which were in your name, and 2 were in the name of your deceased father-in-law Chen Mingde. Twice in the name of your daughter, the total amount was more than 364,000... Can you tell us how the money came from?"
"Given by someone else."
"Who gave it to you?"
"..."
It was silent again, it was just a subconscious sentence. After holding it in for a long time, Zhao Shaolong threw out another thing: "You can't tell me about the money, what about the phone number? Your daughter is studying in Nanjing. Apart from this out-of-town phone call, there are many other phone calls." The communication records of several cities in Shanghai and Suzhou... can you tell us who it is?"
He didn't speak, and his face was gloomy and terrible, which almost told the police the correct answer.
Zhao Shaolong got angry and patted the table, making Ai Xiaonan tremble all over with fright. He roared: "Need to say? Who are you covering? He is the murderer who killed your husband. It is a murder case, can the law forgive him?"
The roar startled Ai Xiaonan's whole body several times, and then she looked at Zhao Shaolong with hatred, that kind of unyielding, unyielding, and resentful eyes, let Zhao Shaolong see how firm the belief of illiterate women is.
"You still stare at me? There are times when you cry." Zhao Shaolong lost his temper, just like when he was the captain of the criminal police, he patted the table and scolded: "Half the people in the county know about you, the relationship between your two families can be eased , Wu Xiangqian should give you the corresponding compensation, that's what it should be... But this can't be the reason for his son to be exonerated! The murder case, how much pressure has caused us, he is the murderer of your husband, don't you have any love for husband and wife? None? Turn to cover up a murderer... Then tell me, what benefits did Wu Xiangqian give you?"
Angry, Ai Xiaonan saw contempt and disgust from the policeman's eyes, she suddenly slapped the table like crazy, and shouted hoarsely: "It's not like this, it's not like this..."
The water glass was knocked off and the water spilled all over the floor. The two policewomen panicked and pressed her shoulders. Zhao Shaolong yelled tit for tat: "So what? Didn't he kill someone? How many pairs of eyes saw it."
"It's not like this... Chen Jianting is a beast, he deserves to die..." Ai Xiaonan growled.
"What about Wu Xiaolei? Shouldn't he be dead?" Zhao Shaolong said fiercely.
"He deserves to die too..." Ai Xiaonan said in grief and indignation, two lines of tears flowed down without warning.
"Oh, it seems that you know where he is very well." Zhao Shaolong softened his tone, and the usual way of probing is quite effective for this kind of emotional person who is not familiar with criminal investigation.
Not right, when asked here, Ai Xiaonan suddenly calmed down, just two lines of tears streaming down, wiping them from time to time, no matter what Zhao Shaolong asked again, just one sentence: I don't know, I don't know anything...
He was alert, unable to ask questions, so angry that Zhao Shaolong dropped his notebook, got up and left his seat, and sulked for a while in the corridor.
After a while, try again, still crying.
After a while, I tried again, still crying, unable to proceed at all...
After a while, Director Gu came, and the two leaders were talking behind closed doors, but they heard Director Gu's angry roar:
"Ah!? I asked you to ask a few questions. If you scare her, will that work? If there is such an important insider, if there is a mistake, you are going to wait eighteen years?! Go, find a few policewomen to accompany you, Make sure to calm her down..."
After a while, Deputy Bureau Zhao came out. Heitian was in constant contact with various offices by phone, calling back the few policewomen, and the leader was about to get results at dawn. He should be crying at this scene...
…
Sometimes people who have no desires and desires are more difficult to deal with than those who commit crimes. This is the case with Ai Xiaonan, a woman who has not gone to school for a few days. For three consecutive days, the female police officers in the entire county have been rotated. explain. When she asked about the whereabouts of the money, she started talking nonsense about what I stole and what I picked up, and when she got anxious, she started crying without saying anything.
Yuan Liang's team received this information on the train, and now it's time to locate and arrest them. Either Ai Xiaonan will speak up, or the two surveillance phones will call in, or... they can be found in Shanghai, where they appear most frequently. Valuable leads.
Woo... The siren blared, and the team members poked Xiaomei's captain, reminding that Shanghai had arrived.
When you open your eyes, you can see verdant green and pleasant green. From a distance, you can see endless high-rise buildings. When you look up close, you can see the bustling passenger flow. From the county town to the metropolis, Yuan Liang couldn't help but sigh and say to himself: "This hard bone, I don't know if we can gnaw it off."
"Isn't Yu Suo a master tracker? He has caught all the cattle thieves who hid so deep." The team member said.
"That's different. Last time, there were a lot of suspects and reference information. With the support of the second provincial team, what do we have? Just a few naked people." Yuan Liang said, the criminal investigation force of the county bureau is really strong.
The two whispered, got up and left their seats, and got together with the two team members in the same compartment. The four of them got out of the car and passed through the underground passage. When they just got out of the platform, they saw someone holding a big sign with the words: Yuan Bright.
It's Young Dog, written like a tortoise crawling, some team members saw it, smiled and pointed to Yuan Liang's direction, and the two groups finally joined. Yuan Liang asked Li Yifeng dumbfounded, "Why did you write my name?"
"Your old name is only two characters, save paper." Li Yifeng said.
Everyone laughed, and Yuan Liang said angrily: "Then you write in block letters, it looks like you are writing? Twisted twists."
"Wrong, I didn't write it. Our director's calligraphy, Quack, go back and deal with him." Li Yifeng laughed.
He led everyone into the car, rented an ordinary commercial vehicle locally, and stopped and went. The traffic here is really not very good. Taking advantage of this time, some people admire the beautiful scenery of the city, and some lament that urban life is not easy. However, Yuan Liang was worried about the case and asked Li Yifeng. Li Yifeng said, isn't this waiting for the progress of the family? It's been several days and we haven't gone out at all.
Hearing this, Yuan Liang was very depressed. In the end, if there was no progress at home, he didn't say anything.
Driving all the way back to Yangpu District, in the suburbs, in a place called Hot Springs, in a hotel far away in an alley, it is not surprising that there are several criminal police officers. With the salary and subsidy level of the county police, this is basically the treatment.
Li Yifeng entertained people separately, Yuan Liang knocked on Yu Zui's room, and when he entered, he was stunned for a moment, Yu Zui was shirtless, carrying beer, eating peanuts, staring blankly while eating. He went in and turned around and found out that he was staring at the case board in a daze...not a movable board, but a map pinned to the wall, and below it were almost all the photos since the case happened.
Very intuitive and hearty, Yuan Liang smiled and said: "Not bad, Yu Suo, there is an atmosphere of American drama detection."
"You have to admit that the West is indeed advanced in some aspects. When I was in the police academy, many reference materials were written by foreigners." Yu Zui said.
"How is it? Is there any result?" Yuan Liang said.
"I'm guessing, but I haven't guessed yet, you're here, let's guess together." Yu Zui said.
"Guess?" Yuan Liang looked strangely, and looked at the map carefully. The map of the entire Shanghai area marked several points, which were places where public phones were used. The color differentiates another circle, and he immediately understood that it is where the ATM is located, and the farthest can be as far as Suzhou, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Shanghai.
A lot of information came out, but they were all deliberately hidden. Most of the withdrawals were at night, and the extracted records were all about a man wearing a mask. Yuan Liang gave Yu Zui a strange look. He was indeed a caring person who visualized all the things related to the case transmitted from the mobile phone and the Internet, but what was intuitive was still a masked man in the dark.
"How do you guess?" Yuan Liang asked.
"Guess his occupation, guess where he haunts, guess where he might be." Yu Zui said.
By the way, Yuan Liang suddenly noticed a change. Yu Zui was not as sad as before. After getting along for so long, he knew that as long as he stopped smoking one cigarette after another, there would be a turning point.
"You guessed it?" Yuan Liang asked curiously.
"Yeah, I'm just waiting for you to come, the train is really slow." Yu Zui said.
"No way, I have weapons, so I can't get on the plane." Yuan Liang said, sat down with Yu Zui, sat down, snatched the wine in his hand, and asked: "Quickly tell me, what do you think?"
"I guess, he's a driver." Yu Zui said straight, choking Yuan Liang who had just taken a sip.
"Maybe this is the way he lives." Yu Zui said again. Yuan Liang swallowed his wine vigorously, staring at him in disbelief.
"And he didn't use a license plate from Shanghai." Yu Zui said again, Yuan Liang almost spit out the wine he drank.
He stared at Yu Zui strangely, he couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare not believe it. When he chose the task, Yu Zui went straight to Shanghai, where the evidence was least likely to be found. This is the place where the phone calls are most frequent. Originally, Yuan Liang's idea was , Follow the clues and chase down, and you may eventually catch up to Shanghai.
But there is no clue now!
"Say it well, don't be fooled, I'm going crazy." Yuan Liang said.
"Okay, let's analyze from the behavioral habits. Most of the time to withdraw money is at night, and the range of activities is almost 300 kilometers. What do you think? It's different where you mask your face?" Yu Zui said.
"But that doesn't prove he's the driver?"
"But you can't deny that if it's the driver, it's more convenient for him to do these things, he can choose the time and location randomly, and we just can't check in that way."
"That's the theory, but it's too arbitrary to judge him as a driver."
"Agreed, what about the phone? The choice of place to call, except for the downtown area, there are several districts in Shanghai, and the farthest is in the Jiaxing area... Not using a mobile phone shows that he has learned a lot of anti-reconnaissance knowledge. Now this thing is easy to learn. Online Too much. But on the other hand, if you think about it, if you are a driver, this is too convenient, walking on the road, just find a section of the road that is not monitored by the sky eye, and the public phone will solve the problem."
"What kind of logic is this, it seems wrong."
The two started arguing. The method Yu Zui came up with in the past few days seemed unable to convince Yuan Liang. Yu Zui thought for a while, bit his lower lip, and gave another reason: "Based on what we know about Wu Xiaolei when he was in school, his temper Not very good, he has a stubborn personality, and he belongs to the kind that does not suffer, so I think it is unlikely that he will work part-time. He can do it temporarily, but he can’t stand it in the long run... It seems good if he drives a car to solicit customers. All he needs is a driver’s license and The identity is enough, even if you check, you are also a traffic policeman."
"Is that how you judged?" Yuan Liang asked in disapproval.
"Wrong, if it is judged that he is the driver, these weird behaviors have a perfect explanation. Why did the withdrawals happen in the middle of the night at different places, and why did the phone conversations take place on hidden roads in different places... Even if it is a suspect who absconded, Wouldn't it be solved if he bought an unregistered mobile phone card?" Yu Zui said.
"Don't tell me the perfect explanation, I want to know how you judged that he is a driver, otherwise I can't agree." Yuan Liang asked in reverse.
"Well, you are not allowed to laugh when you say it. Look here." Yu Zui said, stood up and pointed at a small black dot on the photo, and compared it, from the same surveillance image, the computer image was enlarged, and Yuan Liang I can't help but laugh.
That black dot is... the car key!
"Having a car is not necessarily a driver. There are many people who have cars now." Yuan Liang said with a smile.
"If it's just a car, I can't explain his actions, so I carefully looked at the surveillance pictures I got for a few days... and there are proofs." Yu Zui said, clicked on a few places in the photos, and then sat down with his laptop in his arms. , placed one pair at a time, and several of them can be seen clearly. Yu Zui's logo is on the crook of his leg. He asked Yuan Liang, "What's the difference?"
"No pants? What's the difference?" Yuan Liang was stunned, it was indeed pants.
"Stand up." Yu Zui said, Yuan Liang stood up in surprise, Yu Zui pointed to his knees, and compared the photos, Yuan Liang suddenly realized: "Oh, these pants have many creases."
"Then why so many?" Yu Zui asked.
"Oh, you mean, driving for a long time?" Yuan Liang was surprised, but he didn't expect the mystery to be here.
"By the way, there are so many creases, it means that the legs are bent more than the average person... Under normal circumstances, it will not be formed in a short time. Looking at his pants, it almost looks like a wrinkled face. Judging by the color, it is absolutely It's work clothes, it's dirty, so I judge that he is probably a driver by profession." Yu Zui said.
"What about the license plate? You can't guess the license plate, right?" Yuan Liang said unconvinced.
"Brother, although this key is in half, I have already consulted several repair shops based on the style. The master said that it should be the key made by Chery made in China, which also fits his identity. The money that was remitted to him must belong to his family... It’s not possible to drive a car worth hundreds of thousands, right?” Yu Zui said.
"License plate, let's say license plate, that will help narrow down the scope." Yuan Liang said, feeling more and more that Yu Zui is not just empty words.
"Hey, you're so old-fashioned... Shanghai license plate is well-known throughout the country. A license plate is 98,000 yuan, and you have to wait for the number lottery. He drives a broken car worth tens of thousands of yuan, so he can't buy a license plate worth 100,000 yuan, right?" Yu Zui road.
"It makes sense. In theory, it won't be listed on the Shanghai card." Yuan Liangliang nodded.
"Buy a broken car with a foreign license plate, and drive it in this kind of big city. This kind of thing is not tasteful, and the traffic police are always on guard. Who do you think would do it?" Yu Zui said.
"Take this as a career? Could it be... a driver of a black car?" Yuan Liang said, feeling that everything was so reasonable.
"If it is, there is a reasonable explanation for all the appearances. If not, I can't find anything more in line with the appearance. After all, this profession is semi-public. It can make money and conceal his identity conveniently. You don't need to show your face. Compared with his personality, do you think there is a better thing to do? I even suspect that this guy is a night train, and that kind of environment is almost the safest for him... Look at the area where he appears, In the suburbs, the high-tech zone, and the Yangtze River Delta, in these areas, unless there is a crime, there are very few daily investigations, let alone at night." Yu Zui said, and spent three days describing a life scene of marginalized people.
"Okay! Then check from this direction. Let's contact the Vehicle Management Office, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the Traffic Police Department separately. By the way, I forgot to tell you that Ai Xiaonan has officially summoned her, but she hasn't spoken yet." Yuan Liang said , rekindled confidence.
"It's normal. If you throw the Wu family out all at once, you will be a white-eyed wolf." Yu Zui said, and said calmly, "Your investigation method is not good? Do you want to try me?" of."
"What method do you have?" Yuan Liang asked.
"How about not looking for an official organization? If the vehicle management office is to work, there won't be so many illegal cars." Yu Zui said.
"Then who are you looking for?"
"Find an underground organization."
"Underground organization?"
"That's right, he chose a fringe way of life, it's impossible not to interact with those people, there is no shortage of local snakes in every place, those local hooligans, those who live on the fringes, should be more familiar with their way of life than the film police Places... If Wu Xiaolei has frequently appeared in a certain place in the urban area or suburbs of Shanghai, these people who are begging for life on the street like him should have met... We only need to extract from each district that they often fight, collect protection fees, and do illegal small things. Business, even those petty thieves, are basically the same, after all, they are in the clear, easy to find." Yu Zui said.
Listening to Yu Zui's simple and intuitive method, Yuan Liang couldn't stop scratching his head. This method is practical, and it should be much easier than dealing with officials. When he was scratching, Yu Zui thought Yuan Liang If you have an opinion, ask straight: "Why? Is this not a good idea?"
"Okay, okay..." Yuan Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, looked at Yu Zui with great interest and asked, "I'm a little strange, why is this not like the police's method? It's not like the police school can teach from."
"I have a good teacher, who taught me a lot." Yu Zui smiled, raised his head and took a sip, curled his mouth, and said helplessly: "There is more than one teacher. Come, let's have a drink and make a bet Ah, catch him to confirm our guess today, by the way, your treat."
"Then what's wrong?" Yuan Liang touched the wine bottle and asked with a smile.
"It's a mistake, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to catch it. Your team members are too young, so you have no chance to let me hire you." Yu Zui laughed.
"It's you who win anyway, okay, let's do it like this, I can't wait to invite you."
The two agreed, and with their heads up, they drank more than half of the bottle of beer in one gulp.
