Grandma Xu opened the door a crack like last time, with a safety chain hanging in the middle of the crack. Her flabby eyelids were raised with effort, and her shriveled mouth twitched several times.
Although Xiao Yu'an was not wearing a police uniform, he looked upright, steady and reliable. It was also the act of showing his credentials, which was made by him, which was more believable than that made by Fang Yuanhang that day.
But Granny Xu was still reluctant to take off the safety chain, and a hoarse voice came from her throat, "Go away, I have nothing to say to you."
"You have lived here for decades. You should have seen the little girl who used to live in 4-1, right?" Xiao Yu'an said, "20 years old, a simple and cheerful little girl from the countryside."
Grandma Xu looked blank, as if recalling.
Xiao Yu'an said: "You may not have a deep impression of her, because ten years ago, she passed away shortly after moving to 4-1. Do you know how she passed away?"
Grandma Xu shook her head.
"She was killed by the gangsters." Xiao Yu'an said: "The one who lived in 4-1 later was her father, who, like you, experienced the pain of losing a child and spent the rest of his life missing his child."
Granny Xu opened her mouth, and the wrinkles on her cheeks trembled slightly.
Xiao Yu'an said sincerely: "I came to you today because I know that you have evidence that is very important to us. Can you help us, and also help the middle-aged lost daughter and the lonely father?"
After a long time, Granny Xu finally released her hand from the doorknob.
She took off the safety chain and turned sideways, looking very lonely, "Come in."
Fang Yuanhang followed Xiao Yuan into the old one-bedroom and one-hall, and was obviously startled when he saw the black-and-white photo facing the door. Looking around again, I saw a dozen or so posthumous photos hanging on the surrounding walls, all with the same face.
Both are the sons of Granny Xu, Zhang Yike.
This scene was quite intriguing, Fang Yuanhang immediately got goosebumps, but Xiao Yuan's reaction was very natural.
Grandma Xu sat on the rattan chair and stared at one of the photos with blank eyes, "Is it scary here?"
Xiao Yu'an said: "Parents' thoughts of their children should not be described as 'scaring'."
Granny Xu laughed dryly, "Everyone who came to my house thought I was scary and said that I had a ghost son at home. Although some people didn't say it clearly, I knew it."
After a few seconds, Granny Xu said again, "You are the only one who gave me a different answer. Just ask what you want to ask."
Xiao Yu'an said solemnly: "This year's Spring Festival, you saw someone moved out a 'thing' from 4-1, didn't you?"
After a long time, Grandma Xu said: "I also saw a person who went in and out of 4-1 several times before the Spring Festival. The old man surnamed Huang treated him very well and lent him all the keys of the house."
Fang Yuanhang couldn't help but pull out the photo of Hao Lu-Qin Guoxing, "Look, is this person?"
Granny Xu glanced at it, pushed the tablet away, got up and walked towards the back room, "I'll find it for you, see for yourself."
More than ten minutes later, Granny Xu staggered out, holding a rectangular cardboard box in both hands, "It's all inside. I don't know if there is anything else."
Xiao Yu'an took it, opened it and saw that there was a miniature camera and an old laptop.
There is public surveillance on Shanxiang Street, but over time, the records will be overwritten, making it impossible to check. There is no surveillance in Kanzi Nine Lane, let alone in residential buildings.
Xiao Yuan expected that Zhang Yike had installed monitoring equipment for Granny Xu.
"Yike used to do this, always working overtime, and he didn't even have time to find a daughter-in-law." Grandma Xu's tone suddenly softened, and the originally harsh voice was no longer harsh at this time, "We're not very good here, and the one Mr. Ke said, when you save enough money, you can buy a good house, and we will move there together."
Grandma Xu lowered her head and said, "No matter how much money I save, I can't save enough. Once I came back, I put this thing outside the door, saying that I can go inside, see the situation outside, and save the video if I find something wrong. , call him right away."
Suddenly, Granny Xu's voice trembled, "But when I realized something was wrong, Yi Ke had already left, and I couldn't get through to him."
Xiao Yu'an did not urge, and quietly waited for the old man to speak.
Grandma Xu raised her head and let out a turbid breath. "It was seen by that person. I was afraid, so I took it down. After the year passed, I asked the craftsman to install the safety chain."
"Is it seen?" Fang Yuanhang said, "Impossible, if you are seen, you can't..."
"Thank you." Xiao Yuan interrupted Fang Yuanhang and said to Granny Xu, "I won't take the camera with me, but I will return this notebook to you soon."
Grandma Xu waved her hand and stopped talking.
Zhou Yuan exported all the videos in the notebook, and several monitors played surveillance records of different periods.
The camera is not high-definition, the installation location is very hidden, and the shooting angle is not very good.
Despite this, the two who appeared in front of the 4-1 goal can be distinguished.
One is Hao Lu, that is, Qin Guosheng, and the other is Wu Zhen.
During the period from December last year to the Lunar New Year this year, Qin Guo Province came to the door five times, and it seemed that he was a guest.
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, when Huang Muquan was out, Qin Guosheng and Wu Zhen came to 4-1 together. Tan Guosheng actually took out the key and opened the door of 4-1. Ten minutes later, Qin and Wu locked the door and left.
At 8:41 p.m. on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qin Guo Province knocked on the door carrying fruit, and Huang Muquan opened the door and welcomed people into the house. At 10:25, Qin Guosheng came out from 4-1 alone, wearing gloves and shoe covers, carrying a large bag, after closing the door, wiped the handle and lock with a cloth, and finally walked out of the shooting range of the camera, halfway Minutes later, he reappears in the footage, quickly descending the stairs.
At 10:53, Wu Zhen in the uniform of a sanitation worker appeared. Like Qin Guoxing, he disappeared in the same direction. When he came back, he had an extra key in his hand.
At 11:16, the door of 4-1 opened again, and Wu Zhen appeared dragging a special sack for sanitation. Judging from the proportion and shape, the sack was likely to be a person. After closing the door, Wu Zhen walked towards the stairs.
When passing by the camera, Wu Zhen suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the camera as if he had discovered something.
"Oh!" Zhou Yuan called out.
No wonder mother-in-law Xu thought that the camera was discovered, and Wu Zhen's eyes were equal to the person watching the video.
Xiao Yuan stood in front of the screen with his arms folded, "Wu Zhen just looked at the camera, but judging from his behavior behind him, he didn't find this tiny camera."
Fang Yuanhang nodded, "Otherwise he would definitely not be able to let go of Grandma Xu."
"But the video only shows Wu Zhen leaving with Huang Muquan's body." Zhou Yuan said, "What will Wu Zhen do with the body?"
"There is a funeral home 4 kilometers away from Shanxiang Street." Fang Yuanhang said, "Would Wu Zhen take the body and burn it?"
Xiao Man sneered, "Your idea is too unrealistic. The funeral home can burn the body if you want? Without a death certificate, which funeral home dares to burn the body casually?"
"You can burn without a death certificate, as long as you have access," Xiao Yuan said.
Fang Yuanhang glared at Xiao Man.
Xiao Man stared back mercilessly.
"But Wu Zhen is not someone who can find such a way." Xiao Yu'an added: "He is wearing the clothes of a sanitation worker, and there is a high probability that not only did he get the clothes, but he also got a garbage truck. The sanitation worker is the least attractive. Where are people's attention?"
"The sanitation office in the street... the garbage disposal site!" Fang Yuanhang smashed his right fist on the palm of his left hand, and immediately frowned, "But that's not right, if Wu Zhen threw his body in the garbage disposal site, no one would find out."
Zhou Yuan pulled out the map, "The nearest garbage disposal site is 2 kilometers northeast of Kanzi Nine Lane. For walking, 2 kilometers is a bit far, but considering that it is the Spring Festival, Wu Zhen is wearing the clothes of sanitation workers. It was not impossible to deal with dead bodies in the past."
"Wu Zhen is not the murderer. He didn't know that the stranger Huang Muquan died. He thought he was going to deal with Qin Guosheng, Professor Tan." Xiao Yuan said: "Out of respect for Qin Guosheng, he should not The body will be thrown in the garbage dump casually. If it is buried in the ground, it is not so easy to find."
The joint tomb of Qin Xiao and Chu Qing was on the mountain. Qin Guoxing was out of breath. The two big bags of firecrackers, incense candles, paper money, and offering fruits were too heavy. When he finally reached the tomb, both of his arms were gone. perception.
He sat and rested for a while, but couldn't find a pole or a firecracker, so he simply placed the firecrackers in strips on the ground. When the fire was a little bit, the bright red things immediately exploded all over the mountain, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.
There was no one else nearby, he knelt in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times to his parents, with a cold smile on his face, "Dad, Mom, I'm back, I've never burned paper for you before, this time I've burned enough paper in one go. ."
Incense candles were lit, and the ashes of paper money were swept into the sky by the wind. Although there were many firecrackers, they were gone in a few minutes. Qin Guosheng thought the surroundings were too quiet, so he played the downloaded sad music on his mobile phone.
When the incense candles burn out, the paper money burns out, and this belated memorial is over, he will take his own life.
In the last life, he lived as a lecturer Tan, and he never made a name for himself when he died.
In this lifetime, he became Hao Lu and made an experiment with other people's lives, but only one "domino" fell down and was destroyed by others.
In his two lifetimes, he was a loser, no better than those supernaturally gifted pharmacy professors, and no better than the young Luo Yi.
He is really tired.
Looking back, I was actually no different from Wu Zhen and Sha Chun. They were both hard-working but mediocre losers.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have killed Huang Muquan in the first place. I had fallen down as the first "domino". I had a little sincerity. Maybe this game of death could continue one by one.
The incense and candles couldn't burn out for a while, but the paper money couldn't stand the burn. It didn't take long for it to burn out. Qin Guosheng stood up and turned off the grief and music. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and he finally heard a sound not far behind him.
"Hao Lu." Mingshu's eyes were cold, looking at the perverted murderer who played the dutiful son in front of his parents' tomb, "Should I call you Lecturer Tan now?"
There was not much surprise on the provincial surface of Qin Guo.
As early as when the serious crime team began to investigate Sha Chun's case, he had an expectation that these elite detectives, especially this captain with the surname Ming, would one day find out all the truth.
But he did not expect that Mingshu would appear at this point in time.
He doesn't want to be caught.
It is not that they are afraid of being judged, but that they do not want to be judged by these elites.
Facing them, all his self-esteem would crumble.
He was jealous and hated them.
Fortunately, he was already prepared, a bottle of highly toxic sodium cyanide, as long as he took it, would immediately end his life.
"Let me have a few more words with my parents." Qin Guosheng smiled and put his right hand into the pocket of his coat.
This seemingly ordinary action did not escape Mingshu's sight.
Qin Guosheng turned around after speaking, and immediately took out the sodium cyanide from his pocket.
He unscrewed the bottle cap very quickly, and the deadly powder was about to fall into his mouth.
The bullet passed through Qin Guoxing's wrist, tearing out a blood line, and the plastic bottle flew out immediately and fell into the grass.
Qin Guosheng screamed and fell to the ground, Zhaofan rushed past Mingshu, and held Qin Guosheng firmly.
"How many people have you killed?" Mingshu shouted, "What qualifications do you have to commit suicide!"
After experiencing failure for most of his life, Qin Guo Province has no desire to live. On the way to Dongye City, he did not look at Mingshu or Zhaofan. No matter what question Mingshu asked, he had only one answer - I am the murderer you are looking for.
In this case, there are 4-5 surveillance videos provided by Granny Xu as evidence, but the chain of evidence is not complete. Although the serious crime team has already reasoned out, the confession of Qin Guo Province is still very important.
If Qin Guosheng was unwilling to say anything, the rest would be troublesome.
"He seems to be afraid of us." Zhaofan said, "especially you."
Mingshu said, "It's a normal reaction."
"But it's not the suspect's fear of the police." Zhaofan added, "It's not because you broke his wrist with a single shot."
Mingshu raised his eyes, "What is that fear of the law?"
Zhaofan thought about it for a long time, "Well... I can't describe it."
It was rare that Zhaofan could not describe the "talking buns", so Mingshu couldn't help but look at Qin Guosheng again.
This person's appearance is not eye-catching. At first glance, he is a very ordinary person. But under this ordinary skin, there is actually a heart that can plan such a "suicide".
Qin Guoxing has been twisted to the extreme, who else is there to be afraid of
The kind of fear of the law that the police are not the police, what exactly is fear of the law
What Zhaofan could not describe was punctuated by Xiao Yu'an's words, "Qin Guosheng is not afraid of the police, but of an elite in the industry. Until the age of 40, he was still just a lecturer in the School of Pharmacy, and he did not do anything. In terms of academic achievements, in his understanding, he is a person who was trampled by the elite. He is a doctor, and he has been at the bottom of the society for many years after he became Hao Lu, why do you think it is?"
Mingshu said: "Although the only person who knows his true identity is dead, he is still worried about the secret being discovered. He doesn't even dare to take a train, how could he dare to go to a high place?"
"This is one reason." Xiao Yu'an said: "But there is another reason, that is, he is afraid of contacting elites. The elites will remind him of his failures in the years of pharmacy school, which will make him feel unbearable."
Mingshu scratched his hair, "It's hard to understand."
Qin Guoxing's wrist has been treated, he looked at Mingshu with dull eyes, and asked for a few more police officers to interrogate him.
"I'll tell you everything, but I don't want to face you," he said. "Especially you."
Fang Yuanhang said sharply, "Now is not the time for you to ask!"
Mingshu remembered Xiao Yuan's analysis, "Who do you want to change?"
Fang Yuanhang was surprised, "Master?"
Mingshu raised his hand at him and continued to say to Qin Guoxing: "If it is reasonable and compliant, I can replace you."
Qin Guosheng had already started trembling before he knew it, and his tightly bandaged hands slid frequently on the table, "Is Officer Luo still there?"
Fang Yuanhang couldn't remember someone surnamed Luo in the serious crime team, "Which officer Luo?"
Yi Fei reacted at once, "Do you want to see Luo Min?"
Qin Guosheng nodded, "Yes, it's Luo Min, you let Luo Min come! As long as Luo Min is sitting opposite me, I will say anything!"
Fang Yuanhang went to the Garden Street police station to pick up Luo Min. In the corridor, Yi Fei said worriedly: "In Hao Lu's case, Luo Min, and the members of the special team at that time all have unshirkable responsibilities. Qin Guosheng handed it over to Luo Min for trial, I'm afraid nothing will come out."
"Qin Guosheng just wanted to find someone he could easily deal with. His current attitude is that he doesn't want to struggle anymore." Mingshu said, "Qin Guosheng played a very low-level on Hao Lu's death. In his eyes, Luo Min and others are inferior to him. Only when he faces them can he feel superior."
Yi Fei sighed, "It has come to this point, and Qin Guo Province is still looking for a sense of superiority."
"Isn't he looking for a sense of superiority in all the things he does?" Mingshu said: "He lacks a sense of superiority, so he is eager to make achievements and surpass the elites in his eyes, but unfortunately his efforts are wrong. direction."
Luo Min arrived, wearing a police uniform, but very nervous.
He had also expected to work here in the Criminal Investigation Bureau's Serious Crime Unit. Four years ago, the suspect was tortured to extract a confession. First, the pressure to solve the case was too great. Second, at that time, the Dongcheng Branch had a quota to transfer to the Criminal Investigation Bureau. , by the end of the year, there is hope to enter the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and if it goes further, it is not impossible to join the serious crime team.
But all this has been ruined, and now he is not even a criminal police officer in the Dongcheng Branch, and has "reduced" to the street police station to be a police officer dealing with trivial matters.
"Team Luo." Mingshu stepped forward, although he took the initiative to say hello, his attitude was cold and distant.
In Luo Min's eyes, this is arrogance.
"Team Ming..." Luo Min laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say, she justified herself subconsciously when she said it, "The case of the School of Pharmacy is not my responsibility."
Mingshu interrupted, "Now is not the time to talk about this. You are the person in charge of the task force. Qin Guo Province wants to see you by name. You go and have a good trial of him."
Luo Min looked ugly and stammered: "If I contribute to this case, can the case nine years ago be okay..."
Mingshu said: "Team Luo, I'm just the captain of the serious crime team. How to deal with the case you are responsible for is not something I can say."
The door of the interrogation room opened, Qin Guosheng raised his head, and the moment he saw Luo Min, his originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone was pleasantly surprised, "Officer Luo!"
Fang Yuanhang stared at the surveillance camera, "Qin Guosheng's attitude has become too fast, why do I think it's like 'Two fellows see fellows, tears are coming'?"
"For Qin Guo Province, Luo Min is his hometown." Mingshu said, "It's a hometown in another sense."
In the interrogation room, besides Luo Min, there is also a recorder, and Lin Jiao, who was invited by Mingshu from the Psychological Research Center.
Compared with Qin Guo Province, Luo Min turned out to be more like a suspect.
Qin Guosheng talked to him eloquently, especially when he talked about the case nine years ago, it was like showing off.
"What I'm most worried about is not that you suspect me of cheating on my DNA. I have some understanding of the development of DNA technology. My DNA information has not been entered into the information database, and my immediate relatives are not alive. You found it in my home. Hair, body fluids are equivalent to 'orphans'."
"My biggest worry is that you check the whereabouts of the money in my account."
Qin Guoxing laughed and looked very happy, while Luo Min, who was opposite, was already pale.
"But you didn't investigate. I took the money 'before I died', and you didn't ask me who took the money."
Luo Min gritted his teeth, "You!"
"You were tricked by me!" Qin Guoxing stared at Luo Min, "I have never done anything successful in my life, and I have always been trampled by the elites. Thank you for letting me experience the experience of trampling on others. Feel!"
