"Qin Ying was pushed off the cliff by Qin Xiong in Qiyue Mountain? Then he was rescued by Kuichen?"
When Mingshu returned to Dongye City, he wanted to tell Xiao Yuan what he thought all the way, but he learned this important clue from Xiao Yuan.
"Hu Chengyi is under our protection now and will not leave Dongye City for the time being. If you have any other questions, you can continue to ask him." Xiao Yu'an threw a towel to Mingshu, "I have already shown it to Hu Chengyi. After checking the photos collected by Qin Ke, Hu Chengyi determined that what he saw at Haijing Temple 21 years ago was the boy in the photo."
Mingshu took the towel, wiped it on his freshly washed face, and put it on his shoulder, "21 years ago... Xiao Bureau, 21 years ago, it was not only Hu Chengyi who practiced at Haijing Temple!"
Xiao Yuan nodded, "So I asked Liu Sui and Tang Yuan later. Liu Sui can't remember, but Tang Yuan still remembers."
Mingshu leaned against the sink, his wet forehead dripping with water, "Qin Ying is still a 'black household' until he leaves Haijing Temple, where might he go?"
Xiao Yuan said: "Assuming that Qin Ying was the one who killed four people in 5-8 miles, and Qin Ying came back to take revenge, then he has been brewing for 20 years. Qin Ying was about 17 years old 20 years ago, and now he is 37 years old. This timeline is too stretched. Long. In the past 20 years, in what way has he hidden himself? Why did he wait so long?"
"37 years old." A figure suddenly flashed in Mingshu's mind, "I thought of a person."
Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"
Mingshu said, "The boss of 'Cheng Jianghu'!"
Xiao Yuan said, "You just think that the age of the boss of 'Cheng Jianghu' matches Qin Ying's."
Mingshu shook his head, "More than that. 'Cheng Jianghu' has become popular too fast. After only two months of opening, it has already forced 'Baby Shrimp' to have almost no business to do. This is unbelievable. I have personally been to 'Shrimp Baby'. At that time, 'Cheng Jianghu' was very inconspicuous. 'Shrimp Baby' was the most popular shop on Longcheng Road. I have always been concerned about this, but first, during the initial investigation, 'Cheng Jianghu' It was investigated by us, and nothing abnormal was found. Second, I couldn't think of any motive for 'Cheng Jianghu', so I didn't dig deep into this line."
Xiao Yuan asked: "Have you found the motive of 'Cheng Jianghu' now?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Mingshu said, "Qin Ying was pushed off the cliff by Qin Xiong and survived the disaster. Now he comes back to take revenge on Qin Xiong's family."
Xiao Yu'an took the towel off Mingshu's shoulder, folded it into a square, and placed it on top of Mingshu's head, "The speed at which 'Cheng Jianghu' became popular is indeed suspicious, even with Qiu Min's recommended video as a blessing, it was too fast. Maybe there is something tricky that we don't know yet. But if the boss of 'Cheng Jianghu' is Qin Ying, and his ultimate goal is to kill Qin Xiong's family for revenge, then instead of hiding himself, he will expose himself before that. Come out, why?"
Mingshu was concentrating on the case, but he didn't notice the towel on his head.
The timing of the appearance of "Cheng Jianghu" and the impact after its appearance are irresistible. Before the Qin Xiong family's accident, there were discussions on the Internet about "Cheng Jianghu" replacing "Baby Shrimp". After the murder, "Cheng Jianghu" was pushed to a very embarrassing position, not only because of its "unlucky" business Influenced, the nearby residents had nothing to do, and they speculated randomly whether the death of Qin Xiong's family was related to the competition on the street.
Qin Ying wanted revenge and opened a shop next to "Baby Shrimp", and it was so high-profile. It was completely unnecessary.
But, this is just an outsider's idea!
"No, it's because we didn't fully understand the psychology of an avenger." Ming Shu frowned, "I have another idea."
Xiao Yu'an said, "Tell me about it."
"With Qin Ying's hatred for Qin Xiong, he may not be satisfied with just killing Qin Xiong's family." Mingshu said: "He also wants to 'destroy' Qin Xiong. 'Baby Shrimp' is a career that Qin Xiong is proud of. , after the two elders of the Qin family passed away one after another, Qin Xiong used the savings of the second elder to open a restaurant, which was the predecessor of 'Baby Shrimp'. Qin Ying has been in ambush for 20 years, and the investigation must have already made the investigation clear. Clearly, he knows more about Qin Xiong's fortune than we do. In his eyes, 'baby shrimp' sucks his blood and grows up by sucking his parents' blood. So before killing Qin Xiong's family, he And destroy 'Baby Shrimp'."
After speaking in one breath, Mingshu looked into Xiao Yuan's eyes and asked, "Is there a loophole?"
Xiao Yu'an said: "I guess you will suspect 'Cheng Jianghu', and 'Cheng Jianghu' is indeed a point of exclusion or lock. Before you come back, I have already sent Fang Yuan to sail there."
Mingshu raised his eyes, quickly calmed down, and analyzed the clues on Qiyue Mountain that he had sorted out one by one to Xiao Yuan.
"Atonement?" Xiao Yuan said: "This idea is very novel. If a guilty person wants to atone for his sin, he should first understand where he was wrong, what the crime he once committed, and then do good deeds or compensate the victim. When he comes to Mu Haiyuan, Is it to obtain a monk status from his twin brother, and then gather together those who have made similar mistakes as him, and obliterate them one by one?"
Mingshu said: "I think it is not very useful to stick to conventional logic in analyzing a suspect with a twisted mind. We have gone through enough detours before, so it is better to change our thinking. For Mu Haiyuan, erasing Chu Jiang and others, Maybe it's another form of 'being kind'? He should punish himself the most, but few people can do anything to him, so he pointed the knife at those who were like him. Chu Jiang's so-called ' Yunyou', all came from the mouth of the dust, no one heard them say they wanted to 'yunyou', and no one saw them leave Haijing Temple with their own eyes. People said they had seen them. I judged that they were already killed when Kuichen said they went down the mountain to 'walk around'."
Xiao Yu'an said, "At the age of Peeping Chen, it is not difficult to kill people, but it is more difficult to deal with the corpse. The hiding place is not too far away. Did Yi Fei and the others searched the Haijing Temple last time, did they only search the inside of the temple?"
"Yes." Mingshu nodded, and the towel suddenly fell from his head.
Xiao Yuan chuckled lightly.
Mingshu took the towel, "Fuck, you fuck me!"
Xiao Yuan said sternly: "Don't swear at your superiors, please focus during work."
"Who didn't focus first?" Mingshu folded the scattered towels and put them on top of Xiao Yu'an's head, "I want to put them too."
Xiao Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Mingshu quietly.
Mingshu didn't move.
After two seconds, Mingshu took the towel back, "Don't let it go, I'll fix you when I get home."
Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Where did you just say it?"
Mingshu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Where is the cliff that Qin Xiong pushed Qin Ying down? Even tourists won't walk up the cliff, and the bottom of the cliff is even more 'safe'. Will Jingchen follow Qin Xiong's example? …”
Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Team Ming, you're a little messed up."
Mingshu suddenly reacted, the current Kuichen is no longer the one who saved Qin Ying, how can he follow suit
"According to the idea you just put forward, Mou Haiyuan liquidates his mistakes on others one by one, which can be regarded as a ritual. A murderer who commits a crime with a ritual is usually a ritual in hiding the corpse." Xiao Yuan said: " If the three of Chu Jiang were dead, their bodies would be hidden in two places, one is where they made mistakes, and the other is Qiyue Mountain. If it is the former, then Mu Haiyuan should lead them to their respective hometowns. This possibility is not very high to start again, because it takes time to come and go, and before this year's 'retreat', Jingchen did not leave Haijing Temple for a long time."
"The most likely place to hide the corpse is near Haijing Temple." Mingshu said, "I will arrange a search immediately."
Section 3 of Longcheng Road, "Cheng Jianghu".
"If it is a reasonable request, of course I will cooperate." The man smiled, but the smile was very cold, "But I found that you seem to regard me as a suspect. How can I cooperate?"
Fang Yuanhang frowned at the man.
The man is Cheng Xiuming, the owner of "Cheng Jianghu". He looks in his early thirties, but the age on his ID card is 36 years old.
He's not a "black guy"
”, his hometown is in Yancheng, Han Province next door, and he only came to Dongye City this year.
Cheng Xiuming's background seems to be very clean. The field team has gone to Yancheng to investigate and learned that Cheng Xiuming had run a Jianghu restaurant before. Because of his good craftsmanship and honesty, his business has always been good.
But in the first half of this year, Cheng Xiuming suddenly handed over the well-opened restaurant to his apprentice Han Chao. He came to Dongye City alone, and opened "Cheng Jianghu" not long after.
"You check Brother Cheng, what's the matter? My brother Cheng is the best person in the world!" Han Chao was extremely dissatisfied with the police's "cross-province" investigation of his master, "Go and ask, who doesn't talk about me on this street? Hello Cheng!"
Cheng Xiuming's Jianghu restaurant in Yancheng is located in a place called "Ronghua Street". On this street, Cheng Xiuming is a famous person. If any household needs help, if he finds him, as long as he has a way, he will help. Sometimes he can't help, and he will give some reasonable suggestions.
As Han Chao said, no one who knew Cheng Xiuming said he was bad.
But what the police had to pay attention to was that Cheng Xiuming was alone and had no family. Apart from Han Chao, his apprentice, he seemed to have no friends.
No relatives or friends, live alone, help when you are busy, regardless of gain or loss.
This is an absolute benevolent man.
But the criminal police of the serious crime team have seen more and more strange and twisted murderers.
Good and evil complement each other, everyone has evil in their hearts, and no one is immune. If there is no evil at all, then good is false. In many cases, the most ruthless murderers advertised themselves as the supreme and wise men of goodness. Besides committing crimes, they also played the role of benevolent men, so when some murderers were finally brought to justice, people who knew them often Will be amazed - how is that possible
"If Brother Cheng hadn't rescued me, I would have died a long time ago." Han Chao said that he was sold to Yancheng by human traffickers. Unable to prove his identity, he cannot find a decent job in this society. Before he met Cheng Xiuming, he had been struggling to get by in the "dark area" of the city. He had done a lot of good and bad things, and was almost cheated When he went to sell drugs, it was Cheng Xiuming who pulled him back from the wrong way, gave him a job, and assisted him in solving the identity problem that had not been solved for more than ten years.
"I used to be a 'black household'." Cheng Xiuming said, "It was Uncle Cheng who registered for me."
"Brother Cheng, like me, doesn't know who his real parents are. He shouldn't have the surname Cheng. Uncle Cheng took him in, so he took the surname of Uncle Cheng." Han Chao seemed to know Cheng Xiuming very well and was anxious Let the police believe that Cheng Xiuming is a good person, and tell Cheng Xiuming's past in one breath—
Cheng Xiuming's craftsmanship was inherited from the late Cheng Shucai. Cheng Shucai's wife and children died early, and he found Cheng Xiuming battered and bruised from the opponent's restaurant, and immediately called the police and rescued him. Cheng Xiuming was not yet twenty years old at the time. He was a "black householder" with no relatives and was bullied everywhere. Cheng Shucai took pity on him, and asked people to find connections. Finally, he got an ID card and a household registration for him, and accepted him as an apprentice. First, he asked him to help in his restaurant, and then he gradually taught him his craftsmanship.
More than ten years ago, Cheng Shucai rescued Cheng Xiuming.
More than ten years later, Cheng Xiuming rescued Han Chao in the same way.
The field team asked, "Do you know why Cheng Xiuming suddenly left Yancheng and went to Dongye to do business?"
Han Chao said, "Winter Ye is bigger than Yancheng. Brother Cheng's craftsmanship is so good, so he only stays in Yancheng, isn't he a talent? 'Cheng Jianghu' is so popular in your Dongye, it means that Brother Cheng has gone to the right place."
"It's also a big city, why did you choose Dongye City instead of Luocheng?" The field team said again: "Luocheng is your provincial capital."
"This..." Han Chao couldn't answer, "Hey! Brother Cheng can drive wherever he wants to go!"
Han Chao's explanation is full of loopholes, and Cheng Xiuming's experience was actually blank before he obtained legal status. The only Cheng Shucai who may know his past is no longer alive.
Is it possible that he is really the missing Qin Ying
If so, why haven't Qin Xiong and Huang Hui recognized people
A person's appearance will change with age. Qin Ying was only 16 years old when he disappeared, and now he is 37 years old. From a boy to a man, his appearance will inevitably change, but will there really be no trace of the past on his face
Unless plastic surgery.
Fang Yuanhang thought quickly in his mind, and Cheng Xiuming, who was standing opposite him, had already looked away, and seemed to be preparing for the night before opening.
"Qin Ying." Fang Yuanhang suddenly shouted.
Cheng Xiuming turned around when he heard the words.
Although this is a reaction, it is only a very common reaction. Fang Yuanhang couldn't see anything unusual in Cheng Xiuming's eyebrows.
"Who is Qin Ying?" Cheng Xiuming asked in a flat tone.
"I still have a few questions that I want to find the answer to from you." Fang Yuanhang pulled out an armchair, sat down on his own, and then raised his eyes to stare at Cheng Xiuming.
In the serious crime team, if you want to pick a "noisy leader", it must be the other party's Yuanhang, but after Mingshu came back this summer, he consciously followed Mingshu to learn, and his gestures gradually became a little clear. .
Cheng Xiuming stood there for a while, looking at the young detective, and after a while he smiled helplessly, "It seems that if I don't answer, I won't be able to open tonight, right?"
Fang Yuanhang also smiled, "It's your responsibility, please understand."
Cheng Xiuming also sat down and sighed, "Just ask."
Fang Yuanhang said, "You entered the Cheng family at the age of 20. What about before?"
"Scavenger." Cheng Xiuming said calmly: "I do odd jobs for others. If you insist on asking who can prove it for me, I can only tell you, no."
Fang Yuanhang said, "Do you know Haijing Temple?"
Cheng Xiuming said: "I didn't know it before, but now I know. There was a criminal case there."
Fang Yuanhang kept staring at Cheng Xiuming's eyes, and found that there was no flaw in this man's expression.
"'Cheng Jianghu' suddenly became popular. Did 'Qiu Shanlinmian' find you on his own initiative, or did you contact him?" Fang Yuanhang deliberately inserted irrelevant questions between important questions, "After 'Cheng Jianghu' became popular, Do you still have contact with 'Qiu Shan's Insomnia'?"
"I didn't take the initiative to hype it." Cheng Xiuming said, "But since a big V has taken a fancy to my store, of course I can't ask for it."
Fang Yuanhang said, "Did you think 'Cheng Jianghu' would become popular so quickly?"
Cheng Xiuming said: "I dare to open next to the hottest restaurant in the third section of Longcheng Road, just because I have the confidence to share a piece of it."
Fang Yuanhang squinted, "So you temporarily put away the store in Yancheng and came to Dongye City for the purpose of 'Baby Shrimp'?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiuming raised his eyebrows lightly, and the hand that had been on the edge of the table froze indistinctly.
This is Cheng Xiuming's only emotionally fluctuating reaction from the time the two have been dealing with each other.
"As you know, my colleague is in Yancheng now." Fang Yuanhang struck while the iron was hot, "Your apprentice Han Chao can't tell you about your sudden departure from Yancheng."
"Because in your hearts, I came to Dongye for 'no reason' and stole Qin Xiong's business, so I became a suspect?" Cheng Xiuming laughed again, "Where's the evidence? People can do whatever they want. Doubt it, but you have to tell evidence when arresting someone."
The serious crime team had no evidence that Cheng Xiuming was the murderer, and even the suspicion was not the same as the suspicion of Qin Xu in the early stage. There is a set of unfamiliar footprints in 5-8. The modeling of the footprints can infer the approximate height and weight of the person who left the footprints, as well as the walking habits. But footprints are far less critical than fingerprints.
Cheng Xiuming's height is within the range delimited by modeling.
Fang Yuanhang was thinking about the next step, and suddenly saw Cheng Xiuming spread his hands, "It seems that my 'willfulness' has caused me trouble."
"What 'willful'?" Fang Yuanhang became vigilant.
"In advance, I have nothing to do with Qin Xiong's death, and I have no grudge against him." Cheng Xiuming said, "You called me 'Qin Ying' just now, do you think I am this person? Qin Ying, Qin Xiong, interesting. But I'm not Qin Ying, not the murderer you're looking for."
Fang Yuanhang's heartbeat gradually accelerated, knowing what Cheng Xiuming was going to say next would be very important.
At the same time, the field team members who were far away in Yancheng finally learned a clue that was closely related to Qin Xiong during the continuous visit—
Cheng Xiuming and Han Chao's restaurant had received a customer named "Qu Yongfei" in the first half of this year, and this customer currently lives in Mishui County below Yancheng.
"Qu Yongfei?" Mingshu said while walking with headphones on, "Isn't that the boss of 'Xinyang Kitchen'?"
Before the opening of "Cheng Jianghu", the neighbor of "Shrimp Baby" has always been "Xinyang Kitchen". In the previous survey, the police have made it clear that the business of "Xinyang Kitchen" is far inferior to that of "Baby Shrimp". Qu Yongfei's son, Qu Xinyang, is seriously ill and in urgent need of medical expenses. In order to raise money, new dishes are launched, but soon, "Baby Shrimp" "Imitates the idea of "Xinyang Kitchen".
Qu Yongfei once asked Qin Xiong to give him some customers, which was not appropriate, but Qu Yongfei had no other choice at that time.
Qin Xiong not only did not help Qu Yongfei, but also humiliated Qu Yongfei.
Soon after, Qu Xinyang died.
"We have found Qu Yongfei, and his reaction is very strange." The field team reported: "His home not only provided four shrines to Qu Xinyang, but also cursed characters and villains!"
Mingshu said: "This is feudal superstition."
"Qu Xinyang's illness and death have nothing to do with Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong's refusal to accept Qu Yongfei's request is understandable. After all, everyone is a businessman, and the strong have no obligation to take care of the weak." Cheng Xiuming said: "But Qin Xiong's arrogance, Ruined a person."
Fang Yuanhang said, "You mean Qu Yongfei?"
Cheng Xiuming got up and looked around the store, "Many years ago, Qu Yongfei followed my benefactor, Cheng Shucai, to learn cooking for a period of time. At that time, Qu Yongfei was very complacent, and he went to Mishui County via Yancheng this year. Qu Yongfei is completely different. After the death of his only son, his wife also left him, and now he has a psychological problem."
Fang Yuanhang was puzzled: "Do you want revenge for Qu Yongfei?"
"It depends on how you understand the word 'revenge'." Cheng Xiuming said, "I said, I didn't kill anyone, and I won't kill anyone in the future. Qin Xiong prides himself on his superb cooking skills and looks down on all those who are inferior to him. Is it 'revenge' when he opened his door and stole his business?"
"But you don't need to..." Fang Yuanhang stopped before he finished speaking.
Not necessary.
What is unnecessary
In the eyes of the unrelated, everything is "unnecessary".
But for those concerned, since it has been done, why is it unnecessary
Sure enough, Cheng Xiuming shook his head, "You police officers have your police principles, and I have mine. I set up the store here and used my methods to 'revenge' a destroyed person, without violating any of the rules. Laws and regulations. Even if 'Qiu Shan Sleeping Sleep' did not recommend me, I can make Qin Xiong suffer, but... "
Saying that, Cheng Xiuming sighed, "Death is a big deal. If I knew that this kind of thing would happen to his Qin family, I probably wouldn't come to Dongye."
Shouquan Town, Qiyue Mountain.
"Yeah." Mingshu directed the search while listening to Fang Yuanhang's call.
"Cheng Xiuming explained his own behavior very clearly, but I still have some doubts." Fang Yuanhang said: "We have no way to verify this person's experience before the age of 20. Master, do you need to bring him back to the bureau? ?"
"No." Mingshu said, "Keep an eye on him and don't let him out of our sight."
That night, the serious crime team found a very hidden cave, and there were three bodies with different degrees of decay hidden in the cave.
