The landlord is here.
He is a tall, thin, middle-aged man.
The hairline has long been a place of support for the Party Central Committee,
Bald.
"Hello, comrade police officer."
The landlord handed Lao Zhang a cigarette.
Lao Zhang didn't answer it. Instead, he took out the camera, placed it in his palm and showed it to him.
The landlord's face immediately turned green with fright. At first he thought the police were here to check the fire or to investigate the identities of the migrant workers, but he didn't expect that the police would discover this.
"What is this?"
The landlord wants to deny it.
But after all, not everyone can go to the Oscars to receive an award.
The acting skills of most people are definitely not up to par.
Moreover, on the Internet, people may think that the police are nothing, but in reality, when you see a real criminal policeman in police uniform standing in front of you, most normal people will feel a little scared, let alone when someone has evidence against them
Zhang Yanfeng saw through the landlord's lie at a glance, and immediately said to Xiao Cao who followed him: "You control him and don't allow him to contact his family. Also, send someone to search his residence."
Saying,
Zhang Yanfeng pointed at the landlord.
He lowered his voice and said:
"If we find this video on your computer or anywhere else, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Zhang Yanfeng himself is not very clear about the specific consequences, because the domestic laws are somewhat vague in this regard. Many incidents like secretly taking photos or secretly placing cameras being discovered are mostly resolved through negotiation for compensation, even if the parties involved report to the police.
But this did not stop Lao Zhang from pretending to be very knowledgeable in order to put psychological pressure on the landlord.
Moreover, if this kind of thing gets out, compensation is a small matter. Once it is made public, it will be a huge loss of face.
The landlord couldn't hold it in any longer and grabbed Zhang Yanfeng's hand, "I was wrong, I was blinded by greed, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
"How can you be so heartless as a landlord? You are so shameless!"
The female tenant next door started cursing.
"Okay, our police will handle this matter. I'll take him away first."
Zhang Yanfeng didn't come here to deal with any small cameras, he came here for a murder case.
"Comrade police, you can't let him go like this!"
"I see. Just wait for our notification."
Having said that, Zhang Yanfeng dragged the landlord out of the room.
The landlord almost knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow to Lao Zhang. He kept muttering and begging Lao Zhang not to spread the matter, and certainly not to let his wife know.
"Let me ask you something..."
"Comrade police, I have clues to report!"
Zhang Yanfeng and the landlord spoke almost at the same time.
"You speak first." Zhang Yanfeng nodded.
"I have a reason for pretending this. It's not to do anything obscene. Really, you have to believe me."
"reason?"
"Yes, there is a reason. Two years ago, a tenant of mine named Xia or Wang Chunhua disappeared. That's why I installed this camera.
This is for the safety of the tenants.”
Are you kidding me
For the sake of tenant safety, why don’t we put cameras in the corridor but outside
You put it in the bathroom because you are worried that no one will rescue your tenant if he accidentally slips and falls while taking a shower
But Lao Zhang didn't rush to scold him, instead he asked: "Xia Chunhua? Do you know that Xia Chunhua is missing?"
Saying,
Zhang Yanfeng grabbed the landlord's neck directly.
Shouted:
"Tell me everything, what else do you know!!!"
The landlord was so frightened that he was stunned for several seconds, then he immediately nodded and said:
"I have the video. I have the video. It's in my house."
… … …
Zhang Yanfeng took Xiao Cao to the landlord's house. The landlord did not live here, but lived a little further away in a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
When I opened the door, I saw the landlord's wife cooking in the kitchen. When she saw someone coming back, she came out wearing an apron.
"This is?"
"This is the police. I am assisting the police in investigating some matters regarding the tenants." The landlord explained quickly.
Zhang Yanfeng nodded. All that mattered was investigating the case, and he didn't mind providing a cover for the landlord first.
Even if the landlord can really provide sufficiently valuable clues, he doesn't mind directly bringing the landlord and the tenants together to settle the compensation privately, which is actually more beneficial to the tenants than going directly to court.
Because once the matter is made public, the landlord will be as unmoved as a dead pig. If the matter is not made public, the landlord will try his best to satisfy the tenants in terms of compensation in order to prevent the matter from being publicized.
This is not because Zhang Yanfeng is abusing his power for personal gain or bending the law. In fact, according to his experience, most of these victims would rather gain some practical benefits. If you force the landlord to be exposed and sued, the victim will not appreciate your kindness and will dislike you for meddling in their affairs.
Everyone went into the landlord's study, and the landlord's wife brought them tea and then left.
Zhang Yanfeng asked Xiao Cao to stand at the door.
The landlord then turned on his computer with peace of mind.
Click on the folder.
“Here is the video from October 2016. It was because of this incident that I decided to put cameras in the tenants’ rooms. But I was afraid that they would not understand my good intentions, so I did not tell them, fearing that they would misunderstand… … “
"Shut up and watch the video." Zhang Yanfeng urged. The landlord's excuse was really lame.
You said you pretended to have it after Xia Chunhua got into trouble, then how come you had it before Xia Chunhua got into trouble
The landlord clicked on the video.
The video isn't particularly clear.
It may be because the landlord’s cameras in the past few years were not very high-end and not as advanced as they are now, but the general situation can still be seen clearly, at least much clearer than ordinary cameras.
After all, I want to see that picture.
What's the point of seeing a bunch of black and white mosaics
In the screen,
A woman taking a bath.
The woman's face appears in the camera from time to time.
Zhang Yanfeng identified it carefully and called Xiao Cao to take a look together, and confirmed that it was the unidentified corpse No. F, Xia Chunhua!
Then,
I continued to read on.
Look,
Twenty minutes!
Zhang Yanfeng looked down at the progress bar.
I realized there were still twenty minutes left.
"Did you take such a long time to take a shower?"
"Yes, because the water bill is shared equally, so in order to avoid being at a disadvantage, these tenants take a long shower and do not use it sparingly. Otherwise, if others use more and they use less, wouldn't they be taken advantage of if the bill is shared equally?"
"fast forward!"
Zhang Yanfeng urged.
Although this is physical evidence, Zhang Yanfeng and Xiao Cao did not have any blasphemous thoughts in their hearts, but after all, the dead are the most important, so some scenes should be skipped if possible.
When I think of the woman taking a bath in the picture,
He was killed and buried on the riverbank two years ago. He almost died without any news, which makes people feel inexplicably heartbroken.
The landlord started fast-forwarding, as he must have watched this video many times, until the 37th minute of the video.
In the screen,
Suddenly a man in a raincoat appeared. After he came in, he covered Xia Chunhua's face and dragged her out of the bathroom.
This man,
He must be the murderer!
But the man in the picture was wearing a large mask that completely covered his face.
"Why the hell didn't you call the police at that time?" Zhang Yanfeng scolded.
“I’m not sure if something happened…”
"She didn't take anything with her, she just disappeared. Are you sure if anything happened?"
"What if she's hooking up with a rich man and running away? Besides, the lock of the rental house isn't broken."
"Fuck you!"
Zhang Yanfeng kicked the landlord.
The landlord was kicked to the ground.
Don't dare to say even a word.
Outside the door,
His wife seemed to have heard the noise and ran over to knock on the door to ask what was going on.
"It's okay, it's okay, just go and do your thing!"
the landlord shouted immediately.
Zhang Yanfeng knew clearly that this bastard landlord was actually worried that after he called the police, his secret camera recording would be exposed, so he chose to remain silent about the possibility of a life being harmed!
"Time, tell me the time."
Zhang Yanfeng replayed the video and looked at the time. There was a mark on the video saying it was 3:20 p.m. on October 24, 2016.
The layout of the low-rent housing I had visited before began to emerge in my mind.
The murderer buried the body.
That is to say, after he killed Xia Chunhua, he took the body away. Regardless of whether he took a living person or a dead person away, such a big man was still an obvious target.
"Xiao Cao, come on, follow me back!"
He left the landlord sitting on the ground and ignored him.
Zhang Yanfeng asked Xiao Cao to drive him back to the door of the low-rent housing.
but,
This time Zhang Yanfeng did not go up, but turned around and looked at a "Construction Bank" next to the corridor entrance.
"The murderer must have brought the victim down here. This low-rent apartment building only has one corridor, and the murderer must have come in and out from here. The murderer may have brought the victim out from here after 3:20 p.m. on October 24, 2016!
Come on, follow me to this bank to retrieve their surveillance footage."
"Ah, will the bank agree to let us retrieve the surveillance information so quickly?"
“Banks are not Didi.”
"Oh, that's right, but it's been almost two years. Maybe the surveillance has been deleted long ago?"
Due to memory constraints, it is normal for surveillance in many places to delete old content every three months or six months.
"The People's Bank of China's regulations seem to be six months, but most other banks will keep two or even three years of video backups in order to combine the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits."
Zhang Yanfeng took Xiao Cao into the bank, showed his ID, and asked to see the backup of the previous surveillance video. At the same time, he explained that the matter was urgent and the necessary procedures would be completed later.
The bank did not have any difficulty.
He immediately expressed his full cooperation with the local police in handling the case.
soon,
The video was called up on the computer in the monitoring room. After adjusting to that time period, Zhang Yanfeng asked to play it at double speed.
When the monitoring time reaches 3:40,
Zhang Yanfeng decisively called a halt.
Rewind a little bit and play it in slow motion!"
The picture rewound and began to play out frame by frame.
In the screen,
The location of the corridor entrance,
An old man appeared. He was wearing clothes similar to those of a decorator and carrying a snakeskin sack.
"enlarge!"
The picture was enlarged.
Because the bank staff in the monitoring room were not professional, they were unable to repair the image and improve its clarity. However, when the image was enlarged,
Old Zhang immediately recognized the guy who took off his mask, carried a sack and smoked a cigarette.
It's that old man.
The old man who died last!
At that time, he should have been controlled by the ghost jade.
Old Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
He already knew who the murderer was.
The reason why we continue to investigate is that
To find evidence.
Give,
Evidence that the Taoist priest escaped guilt!
