The moment he realized that Bureau Li had been watching him behind him, Mingshu suddenly felt a strange feeling.
This feeling is similar to unpleasant, but it is not just unpleasant.
Since coming to Dongye Municipal Bureau, Mingshu has been working under Li Bureau. In criminal investigation, Li Bureau is actually not as good as some old police officers who have worked in the front line for a lifetime, and his "sense of smell" is not as sensitive as Xiao Yu'an, an elite transferred from the special operations team. However, the chief of a bureau needs not only the professional quality of case detection, but also excellent management ability and overall situation awareness.
There is no more suitable candidate for the position of the chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau than Li Ju.
Mingshu used to feel that it is very comfortable to have such a leader who can bear the pressure and adjust the contradictions of various departments.
But this time, the look in Li Ju's eyes made him feel uncomfortable.
But he responded very quickly, without showing any emotion, and said lightly: "Ju Li, have you seen Team Liang? Did he go to see you?"
Li Ju said: "I haven't been to me, maybe I have something to do when I come back."
Mingshu said, "Has Team Liang gone to the Beicheng Branch now?"
"What, you have something to do with him?" Li Bureau asked.
"No matter what, Team Liang used to be the leader of our serious crime team. He went to the Beicheng branch, and many brothers in the serious crime team didn't know about it." Mingshu smiled, "You have to find time to have a meal."
"Are you free now?" Li Bureau said with a smile: "Liang Zhao told me that there is no need to engage in those formalistic things. Besides, he is only temporarily transferred to the Beicheng Branch, it is not that he will never return."
Mingshu followed the words and said, "That's right. When Team Liang comes back, I'll make an appointment with him again."
Bureau Li changed the subject and asked, "How is the case of Qiyueshan going?"
"It's still in the scouting stage." Ming Shu said.
"Well, it's hard work." Li Bureau joked: "If you have any difficulties, just mention it to Xiao Bureau, I can't control you."
Mingshu smiled, "I understand."
After Li Bureau finished speaking, he went downstairs. Mingshu waited for a while before going to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan communicated with Shen Xun in front of Mingshu. Both sides are extremely efficient people, and a phone call is quickly finished. Mingshu just said that he saw Liang Zhao and Li Ju outside just now.
"I'm watching Team Liang in the corner, and Bureau Li is watching me in the other corner." Mingshu hissed, "Is this picture a little weird?"
Xiao Yu'an asked, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Bureau Li?"
Mingshu shook his head, "I didn't say that. Bureau Li is about to retire, so it won't happen. But that's the feeling, it's not too comfortable."
At this time, Yi Fei called and said that Xiong Hanqiang was about to leave Shouquan Town, and the car had already reached the expressway. He was stopped by the team members who were driven to Shouquan Town, and now he has been taken back to the serious crime team. .
"I'm trying to hide from the debt! It has nothing to do with those two women!" Xiong Huan was sitting in the inquiry room with great anxiety, "I just sent them to Qiyue Mountain, and I didn't do anything else! I I work in Shouquan Town, and you can check my driving records. They stopped my car. I sent them to Qiyue Mountain, and they paid me fifty yuan."
With that said, Xiong Huqiang took out his mobile phone and shivered through WeChat records, "Look, this is the money they transferred to me. If I tell a lie, you will send me to jail immediately!"
From Tianxing West Road Station to Qiyue Mountain, it is about 30 kilometers by car, and there is no public transportation. Now it is the autumn season, and there are many private cars waiting for passengers on Tianxing West Road.
Mingshu was wearing headphones, and the field team was reporting the situation of Xiong Huqiang's family under investigation to him.
Xiong Hanqiang is a fertilizer distributor. He has an elderly father, a wife and a pair of children. The family is still happy, but since last year, the fertilizer business in Shouquan Town has become more and more difficult to do. I worked hard to make money, and even after Qiyue Mountain became an Internet celebrity scenic spot, I drove a hitchhiker to solicit passengers. At peak times, I could earn more than 1,000 yuan in fares a day.
However, the revenue from soliciting customers is not enough to fill the gap in the operation. Recently, debt collectors have come to the door almost every day.
This man who honors his parents and treats his wife and children well, actually abandoned his family and chose to run away.
Mingshu knew something and asked, "What did Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan say in the car?"
"Let's talk about the leaves on Qiyue Mountain." Xiong Huqiang said, "I told them it's too early, and it will take at least a week for the leaves to turn yellow."
Mingshu said, "Have they asked you anything?"
Xiong Huqiang lowered his head and recalled, "Right! One of the women added me on WeChat and said that I would pick them up when they went down the mountain!"
Mingshu's eyes changed slightly, "You didn't go?"
"They didn't call me later!" Xiong Huqiang spread his hands, a man in his forties, his face was full of greasy and wrinkled faces, "I thought they called another car, and I'm just a hitchhiker, and I have my own life at night."
Xiong Huqiang's so-called "life" is actually playing mahjong with his friends and neighbors.
This logistics has been verified.
Mingshu asked again: "Since they also want to take your car on the return journey, they should have told you a rough time to descend the mountain in advance."
"That's what I said." Xiong Huqiang nodded, "It was dark at seven o'clock in the mountain. It was not before noon when I sent them to Qiyue Mountain. They said that they would definitely go down the mountain before dark, that is, it was after six o'clock. No later than seven o'clock."
It was said that they went down the mountain before dark, but were killed in the mountain after dark. For the two girls, the accident happened a few hours after going up the mountain, to be precise, after passing through Haijing Temple at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mingshu walked up and down the corridor, rubbing his eye socket with his right hand.
It has now been basically determined that they were killed at night, but what was the reason why they failed to go down the mountain on time
"Because they want to take pictures of more satisfying scenery." Xiao Yu'an came to Mingshu with a paper cup in his hand that looked like it was hot coffee.
Ming Shu took a sip and realized it was half-sugar hot milk.
"Actually, it's easy to understand. Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan went to Qiyue Mountain to photograph the yellowing ginkgo leaves." Xiao Yu'an said, "their psychology is similar to Fang Yuanhang's, and they were all influenced by travel celebrities. Go to the Internet celebrity attractions to check in. They don’t have their own cars, so they chose to go to Qiyue Mountain to switch from public transportation to private cars. It hasn't cooled down yet, where is Qiyue Mountain the most beautiful?"
Mingshu said: "The higher you go, the more yellow leaves. Did they climb too high and misestimate the time, so they couldn't go down the mountain before dark?"
Xiao Yu'an said: "The environment at the top of Qiyue Mountain is very complicated, and the two girls are very likely to go up and down."
"The murderer appeared when they were in trouble?" Ming Shu frowned, "That makes sense."
Xiao Yu'an asked, "How is the interpersonal relationship between the two of you?"
"Xu Chun is still investigating at the bar." Mingshu said, "Lu Chen's parents are abroad and are on their way back. Zhao Siyan's mother has already arrived."
Xiao Yuan nodded, and called someone back when Mingshu was about to leave.
Ming Shu turned around, "Huh?"
Xiao Yuan raised his hand and wiped the corner of Mingshu's lips.
Mingshu almost conditioned reflex to bite Xiao Yu'an's finger.
Xiao Yu'an wiped the milk foam off his hands and patted Mingshu's waist, "Go,"
reception room.
Wei Rumei, Zhao Siyan's mother, a capable woman in her fifties, came back from recognizing the corpse and cried her heart out.
"It's all my fault and her dad. We caused her to be targeted by the bad guys!" Wei Rumei covered the upper half of her face with her hands, and her face without makeup was full of tears of remorse.
Mingshu asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Siyan has been spoiled by us since she was a child, and she has never endured hardship at all. When she was admitted to Dongye University, her father and I joked with him, saying that after she went to graduate school, she was an adult, and the living expenses in the future will be on her own. Solve it." Wei Rumei choked and said, "Siyan needs to be strong, and later she went to work in a bar with her roommate."
Mingshu said, "You know she works part-time in a bar?"
This is suspicious.
Usually, parents know that their daughter is working at night, and they will stop it, especially a family like Zhao Siyan, but Wei Rumei obviously did not stop Zhao Siyan.
"I was also confused for a while. She insisted that she didn't want to use my and her dad's money, so I compromised." Wei Rumei kept shaking her head, "She is a simple girl, she must have been harmed by the people in the bar!"
Nancheng District, a bar street, "Lin Shen sees a deer".
Shi Niannian, the boss of "Lin Shen Seeing Deer", was surprised to learn that two female graduate students working in his shop were killed, "Isn't it a mistake?"
Xu Chun had already obtained the bar's shift schedule, which showed that Lu Chen and Zhao Siyan only rested on the 13th night when they were killed, and they had shifts for the last three nights.
"These two didn't come to work and didn't ask for leave, you don't know at all?" Xu Chun asked.
"I..." Shi Niannian was actually in his thirties, but he looked like he was only in his twenties. Facing the police, her eyes floated wildly, "I don't come to the bar every day, it's the manager who manages the staff."
The manager Shi Niannian mentioned is You Lin. When asked about the "absenteeism" of Lu and Zhao, You Lin's reaction was similar to that of Shi Niannian, "I know they didn't come, but they are all part-time workers, and suddenly they don't want to work anymore, and I don't need to get them back. Come on. And these days are working days, business is average, if they don't come, we are all busy. "
This explanation seemed to make sense, and Xu Chun asked again, "What exactly do they do? Are there any familiar guests?"
You Lin dodged: "What do you think of us here?"
Xu Chun asked back, "Did I say something that shouldn't be said?"
You Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Lu Chen is a bartender, Zhao Siyan also wanted to learn bartending at first, but he was not good at the craft, so he has been working as a waiter."
"You haven't finished answering my question." Xu Chun's eyes were sharp, "Do they have any familiar guests?"
"This..." You Lin hesitated, "I can't say that."
Xu Chun recalled He Yi's photo, "Is this person a frequent visitor here?"
You Lin took a closer look, "I'm not impressed."
"Think again."
"I… "
Xu Chun said, "I understand your desire to protect the privacy of your guests, but this case is no trivial matter. Manager You, what do you know, it's best not to hide it."
You Lin was silent for a long time, and finally said: "He, he chased Zhao Siyan before, as long as Zhao Siyan goes to work, he will come, and he has also asked us about Zhao Siyan's real name - our waiters here use pseudonyms. Zhao Siyan doesn't like him, I I heard that Lu Chen even found someone to beat him."
Xu Chun immediately reported the situation to Ming Shu.
"He Yi was not only rejected by Zhao Siyan, but also beaten by Lu Chen?" Mingshu stood in the corridor with his mobile phone in his hand, "Then he does have a motive for the crime. What about the others? 'Lin Shen sees a deer' is there anything else? What's suspicious? How's the whole street going?"
Xu Chun said, "Shi Niannian, the boss of 'Lin Shen Sees a Deer', had a strange reaction, but nothing else."
Mingshu asked, "What kind of strange law?"
"I'm afraid of being investigated, afraid of facing the police." Xu Chun laughed, "I'm rather aggressive."
Mingshu did not meet Shi Niannian in person, so it is impossible to judge whether Shi Niannian and Lu and Zhao's cases are related from Xu Chun's "feelings" alone. Besides, in fact, everyone has secrets and dark sides. Shi Niannian's dodging when facing Xu Chun was probably because of other things.
"Where are you now?" Mingshu asked.
"It's still in the bar street." Xu Chun said, "Didn't I call you right after 'Lin Shen sees a deer'?"
Mingshu said, "Go to the Cultural Bureau right now and find this He Yi."
Dongye Cultural Bureau.
"Who are you?" In the evening, He Yi was stopped by Xu Chun as soon as he came out of the office building.
Xu Chun looked at this plain-looking, not tall man who looked timid and fearful, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He Yi met Zhao Siyan in "Lin Shen Seeing the Deer", chased or harassed Zhao Siyan, and then was rejected by Zhao Siyan and beaten by Lu Chen. He Yi held a grudge against the two of them and had sufficient motives for committing the crime. But He Yi's physique and temperament really don't look like someone who can pierce a knife cleanly into an adult's temporal bone.
But in any case, this person is not small, and we must find out the details.
Xu Chun showed his credentials, "Do you know Zhao Siyan and Lu Chen?"
He Yi's face changed immediately, and there was a look of surprise and fear in his eyes, "She, they..."
"It seems that you are impressed by them." Xu Chun opened the car door, "Let's go and talk to the city bureau with me."
He Yi took a step back, and at first glance, he was very unwilling.
Xu Chun raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"I still have to work, and I have to work overtime at night." He Yi said and looked behind him.
It was off-duty time at this time, and people kept walking out of the building, and several of them greeted He Yi.
People who work in a place like the Cultural Affairs Bureau should not have any blemishes on their character. Being picked up by the police is of course a blemish among blemishes. After standing for only a few minutes, He Yi was sweating, and the underarm part of his shirt was gradually soaked.
"Little He?" At this time, a slightly fat woman in her fifties passed by, "I see that you have been out for a long time, why haven't you gone to dinner?"
The woman looked at Xu Chun and asked He Yi, "Friend?"
Xu Chun did not wear a police uniform, which was different from the traditional police. At this time, he was standing beside He Yi, combined with He Yi's expression, from the perspective of others, it was more like He Yi provoked someone in the society.
Xu Chun also knew that he was not like a policeman, so he turned around and smiled at the woman.
The woman squinted defensively.
"Yes, it's my friend." He Yi said quickly, "Director Gong, my friend is here today, so I won't go to the cafeteria."
The woman noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and confirmed with He Yi again, "Xiao He, are you alright?"
He Yi smiled with a guilty conscience, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Director Gong, please go to the cafeteria."
After the woman left, Xu Chun said coldly, "Get in the car."
He Yi closed his mouth tightly and took a few steps forward, looking like he was about to get into the car, but just as he was about to hit the door, he suddenly turned around and ran to the sidewalk.
But how could Xu Chun let him run away.
As early as when He Yi turned around, Xu Chun realized that he wanted to run. He only took two steps before he was directly carried back by Xu Chun and threw it on the back seat of the car.
"I didn't break the law, why do you arrest me?" He Yi shouted timidly in the car as the car started.
Xu Chun asked back, "Then what were you running for? I just invited you to the bureau to assist in the investigation. Can you understand the word 'assist'?"
He Yi said: "You will affect my work like this. Everyone knows that I was taken away by the police!"
Xu Chun said, "Then should you think about it, why didn't the police take you away instead of taking others away?"
"Me!" He Yi suddenly seemed to be pinched to the point of pain, and then he was speechless until the city bureau.
Serious crime team, inquiry room.
"How did you know Zhao Siyan?" Mingshu asked.
He Yi lowered his head and said, "I don't know this person for a long time."
Mingshu tapped his index finger on the table, "There's no need to tell such a lie, right? The surveillance of 'Lin Shen Youlu' and the communication records between you and Zhao Siyan prove that you not only knew each other, but also had disputes."
He Yi said anxiously, "But hasn't that incident passed away a long time ago? Could it be that she now reported to the police that I was harassing her? But it was resolved at that time!"
Mingshu asked, "What is 'that thing'?"
As if he hadn't heard, He Yi eagerly defended, "Yes, I chased her, but I just chased her and didn't do anything else to her. It's her who asked someone to beat me, this is a violation of the law. Right? It was me who was beaten, even if she sued first, you shouldn't come to investigate me, right?"
Mingshu narrowed his eyes, "Do you think I brought you here because Zhao Siyan reported the case?"
He Yi asked, "Why else? I swear, after she and her friend asked someone to warn me, I never approached her again!"
Mingshu suddenly said, "They are already dead."
He Yi seemed to be down, stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Dead? Who died?"
Mingshu stared at He Yi and said slowly, "Zhao Siyan, Lu Chen."
He Yi opened his mouth, pupil light almost frozen in his eyes, with a very surprised expression.
After another half a minute, he stood up abruptly, spitting out of his mouth, "You think I killed them!?"
"Sit down." Mingshu avoided the saliva Xingzi that almost splashed on his face, and said patiently: "Now answer me a few questions. First, on October 13th, where are you?"
He Yi was so excited that he couldn't listen at all, "It's definitely not me! How could I kill someone? You made a mistake, I want to go back! You believe me, when they beat me and threatened me, I didn't even dare to be a police officer. How dare you kill someone?"
