The house that Qin Xiong and Huang Hui bought for Qin Ke was 150 square meters, with four bedrooms and two living rooms. For a young single woman, this was already a very spacious residence.
The trace inspector has done an indoor survey, and the footprints in the house are relatively simple, only the footprints of Huang Hui, Yu Xiaohai, and a group of unfamiliar footprints. The unfamiliar footprints came from the part-time worker Tao. The work records and the surveillance in the building showed that she only went to Qin Ke's house to do a general cleaning the day before the incident.
"It was said to be a house for my daughter, but this house shows Qin Xiong Huanghui's desire for control everywhere." Mingshu wore gloves and shoe covers and carefully observed each room, "The title deed for this house is written by Huang Hui. , not Qin Ke. But the house was purchased five years ago. Five years ago, Qin Ke was only 16 years old, so it was understandable that he was too young. But such a decoration... "
If you just look at the decoration, it is absolutely impossible to see that this is the residence of a girl in her twenties.
From the living room to the bedroom, to the study, to the kitchen and bathroom, there are all the gorgeous and atmospheric styles that some middle-aged and elderly people like. The colors are chaotic, neither Chinese nor foreign. At first glance, it looks like a newly built wedding room in the urban-rural junction.
"Qin Ke is 21 years old now, and he is already an independent age, but he depends on his parents for everything he eats and wears. Even where he lives, he can't choose the style he likes." Xiao Yu'an said: "Qin Ke has shown it over the years. There are also traces to follow.”
The TV in the living room was covered with a festive red cloth, the remote control was thrown in the innermost drawer of the coffee table, and the arty wooden tea set on the coffee table was neatly arranged with a thin layer of gray on it.
Mingshu said, "It seems that Qin Ke rarely stays in the living room."
"Actually, she doesn't spend much time at home." Xiao Yu'an picked up the family photo attached to the speaker in the living room, "From the monitoring provided by the property management, we can see her daily routine—going home at two or three in the morning and ninety in the morning. Just leave, it's like the hotel she stayed in."
"For a person without a job, Qin Ke's time at home is really too little." Mingshu walked up to Xiao Yu'an, "This photo..."
"It was taken a long time ago, Qin Ke and Qin Xu are still children." Xiao Yuan turned the photo frame around, "It's imitation gold-plated carvings, and it is shoddy. It is very likely that Huang Hui bought it and forcibly placed it here."
"The photo should also be put in by Huang Hui, to create the illusion of a happy family in the new house." Mingshu said: "Qin Ke can't go against his strong mother, so he usually fastens the photo frame."
Xiao Yu'an nodded, "Look around, I just turned around, only the master bedroom and the master bedroom's own bathroom are alive in these four bedrooms and two halls. Although the daily utensils and cooking seasonings in the kitchen are complete, there are almost no used."
"Then if Qin Ke hides something, it's probably in the master bedroom." Mingshu sealed the laptop on the master bedroom table into the evidence bag and began to rummage through the cabinets and drawers.
Before that, Zhou Yuan had checked Qin Ke's mobile phone, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy about the traces of the Internet. Mobile phones are more convenient than computers. If there is no need for office work, today's young people use mobile phones more and ignore computers. Generally speaking, mining a person's mobile phone information is easier to find valuable things than checking their computer.
But Mingshu didn't plan to let Qin Ke's computer go.
"It's all big-name cosmetics and brand-name clothing." Xiao Yu'an said, "Qin Ke's money is all used to find a 'cowherd' and to dress himself up."
Mingshu looked at the closet full of clothes and took out one of them, "Is Qin Ke too careless about these clothes he bought himself? With Qin Ke's consumption level, how could she have it? A cloakroom. Even if this is Huang Hui's house, how to decorate it is up to Huang Hui. It is impossible to get her a cloakroom alone, but there are extra cabinets in other rooms. If she cherishes these clothes, they should be sorted into categories and neatly arranged. Hang it up."
Xiao Yu'an said, "Just like you."
Mingshu's own house is relatively small, and there is no separate cloakroom, but others love to dress up. He has a lot of clothes, but no matter how much they are, they are neatly packed, and they will never be stuffed into the closet. And Xiao Yu'an's house is very big, and there is a room for Mingshu's clothes. Mingshu sometimes rests, and can spend a day alone in the cloakroom with music on, fiddling with those clothes and all kinds of shoes.
"That's right." Mingshu shook the dress on his hand, "This dress costs 20,000 yuan at least. Qin Ke not only didn't hang it up, but also stuffed it under the cabinet."
With that said, Mingshu pulled out another skirt, "This one is exactly the same as the one just now, but the size is different."
"Qin Ke bought two identical dresses, the difference lies in the size." Xiao Yu'an said, "If you think the size is wrong after buying it, the normal way is to exchange it with the merchant, but Qin Ke did not exchange it, but bought a new one. Maybe she didn't buy a new one because of the wrong size at all, but just because she wanted to buy it. It gives me the feeling that she didn't buy it because she liked these clothes, but wanted to squander her parents' money."
Mingshu nodded, "I feel the same way, too. Qin Ke has no plans for life. Qin Xu said she was stupid and was full of affairs between men and women. She has indeed been supporting men since high school and meeting women she knows well. Companions compete for the 'Cowboy'. But she never cherishes changing men like changing clothes. Yu Xiaohai is just a person she has recently raised, and it is not special. If her various behaviors can be attributed to one root, it is actually Yes - she's taking revenge on her parents."
"I hate it so much that I don't hesitate to destroy myself." Xiao Yuan folded his arms. "In her eyes, her parents may be unforgivable villains."
The entire master bedroom was searched, and nothing related to Qin Ying was found.
Mingshu went to the study and other bedrooms to check, but Xiao Yuan returned to the living room and stood in front of the buttoned photo frame.
"Officer Xiao?" Ming Shu came out of the room, just in time to see Xiao Yu'an taking off the photo frame.
The workmanship of the photo frame is not good. As soon as it is disassembled, the bracket will fall apart, and the family portrait will fall out from it, and there is also a piece of paper floating down together.
Mingshu picked it up, his eyes changed, "This is..."
It was an old, yellowed photo of a baby the size of a slap. In the photo was a boy who was smiling very happily. He was fifteen or sixteen years old, in a white shirt and black trousers. His clothes were very characteristic of the times.
The photo is incomplete, with torn edges. Even this remaining piece has a crack and many creases in the middle. There is clear tape on the front and back of the photo. The tape is old and should have been pasted a few years ago.
Without these two lengths of tape, the photo would have blown away from the boy's face.
"This person is Qin Ying?" Mingshu looked up at Xiao Yuan.
Now there is no evidence that this person is Qin Ying, but he has a strong feeling that this person cannot be someone else.
"Take it to Longcheng Road and ask those who have an impression of Qin Ying." Xiao Yuan put the two photos together with the photo frame into the evidence bag, "The photo frame was bought by Huang Hui, and the family portrait was also by Huang Huifang. But this is Qin Ke's residence, and Qin Ke can put another photo in at any time."
"Why did Huang Hui put this boy's picture in the photo frame?" Mingshu's tone quickened, "There is no reason at all. But Qin Ke has it. She knows that this person is Qin Ying, her uncle, and she takes Qin Ying's picture. The photo is placed in the family portrait of the Qin family to secretly express her own attitude."
Xiao Yu'an patted Mingshu's waist, "The truth is probably what you deduced. But Team Ming, are you too excited?"
Mingshu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was indeed not rigorous enough just now.
If it wasn't Xiao Yu'an who stayed here with him at this time, but Fang Yuanhang, Yi Fei, Xu Chun, or anyone from the serious crime team, he would not have said that.
He is the backbone of the serious crime team, anyone can be excited, but he can't. He has to stay in a calm state at all times, pull back the overly excited team members such as Fang Yuanhang, analyze all possibilities with a clear mind, and command his team members from a height.
This is actually a tiring job.
Because no matter how calm he is, he is also a man of flesh and blood. Humans must have emotions.
Knowing that Xiao Yuan was by his side, he relaxed for a while, and subconsciously realized that he was relying on him now. Even if he was impulsive and made some small mistakes, Xiao Yuan would pull him back in time.
Xiao Yuan really pulled it.
Ming Shu took a long breath and said with a smile: "I know my Xiao bureau, I'll check it now!"
Section 3 of Longcheng Road.
In the evening, the restaurants on the streets and alleys are opening their doors again to welcome customers.
At this time in the past, the plastic stools outside "Cheng Jianghu" were already full of guests with equal signs. But today, although the store is still full, there are significantly fewer customers waiting outside. Some customers looked outside the store and learned that they had to wait at least half an hour. After a moment of hesitation, almost all chose to leave.
The owner's family of "Shrimp Baby" was slaughtered, leaving only a young son. As soon as the incident spread on Longcheng Road, even the business of "Cheng Jianghu" was affected.
This seems to be a very unreasonable thing. It was "Baby Shrimp", not "Cheng Jianghu". "Cheng Jianghu" is still open, so why are the guests not willing to go
"Forget it, change a house, this house is next to 'Baby Shrimp', which is unlucky." A group of guests stood at the door of "Cheng Jianghu", and the woman headed said: "It's usually nothing to wait, forget it today, next door If such a big thing happened, I will sit at the door and wait, but I won't do it."
Another person echoed: "When you said you came here to eat today, I wanted to object. You don't want to wait at the door, I don't even feel comfortable going in to eat."
"Then let's change. I heard that there is a beautiful frog fish head that tastes good." The third person said: "We have eaten this several times, why not change the taste?"
"Okay, then let's eat the frog fish head."
There are constantly customers choosing other restaurants because of "unlucky". Mingshu sat in the police car and observed this very interesting scene.
At the beginning, "Cheng Jianghu" became popular because of Qiu Min's heavy recommendation. This had nothing to do with the "baby shrimp" on the side, but the "baby shrimp" suffered a disaster because of it.
Now the owner of "Shrimp Baby" has died tragically, and it has nothing to do with "Cheng Jianghu" next door. The business of "Cheng Jianghu" has also been affected.
Social affairs, piles of pieces, seemingly unrelated, in fact, are linked to each other.
Soon, the phone rang, Mingshu picked it up, and a team member said that a total of three old residents of the gear factory confirmed that the person in the photo was Qin Ying.
"I can't even remember what Qin Ying looked like, but when I saw this photo, I immediately remembered it." Lao Xu used to be a worker in a gear factory, and Qin Anqiang, Qin Xiong's father, was a worker in the same workshop.
The old man held the photo with a little nostalgia in his eyes, "If I want to talk about Qin Ying and Qin Xiong, I still think Qin Ying is a better person. He is smart, lively, and can talk. Unlike Qin Xiong, he has nothing to say with adults since he was a child."
What happened 20 or 30 years ago, not to mention surveillance, it is hard to find paper materials. The police only know Qin Ying, but they don't know how old Qin Ying was when she was picked up by Qin's house.
Even this "picking" has to be a question mark.
Back then, when every family was not rich, one more child meant one more mouth. Why did the Qin family pick up a child? With so many orphans in society, why did Qin Anqiang find Qin Ying
Mingshu had to ask Lao Xu for more details, "Do you remember, how old was Qin Ying when he first saw him?"
Lao Xu thought for a while, then raised his right hand, "It's just that tall, looking like five or six years old, Qin Anqiang said that the youngest son used to be raised in the countryside, but now he's living with him."
Five or six years old, if Qin Ying was indeed five or six years old when he came to Qin's house, it would mean that he and Qin Xiong lived under the same roof for about ten years.
Mingshu asked again, "How is the relationship between the two brothers Qin Xiong and Qin Ying?"
Lao Xu shook his head, "Qin Anqiang and his daughter-in-law both prefer Qin Ying, the youngest son, perhaps because they feel that they are indebted to keeping their youngest son in the countryside. But in any case, partiality is partiality. If you want me to be Qin Xiong , I don't feel good about it."
The Qin family said that Qin Ying was the youngest son who grew up in the countryside, but the field team had already gone to the Qin family's hometown to investigate, and there had never been a boy named "Qin Ying" there. Qin Anqiang's relatives also said that after Qin Anqiang entered the city, he hardly ever returned to his hometown, where would he foster his youngest son.
Mingshu asked, "How are Qin Anqiang and his wife Bai Hong?"
"Qin Anqiang has always been in good health. I remember he was a granddaughter and left shortly after birth. Hey, it's a pity, he hasn't retired yet." Lao Xu regretted: "But his wife's health is really not very good. I was hospitalized, and I went to another city for treatment for a year.”
According to Huang Qing, Bai Hong was sick because of Qin Ying's disappearance and died not long after.
If Bai Hong's health has been very bad, it is indeed possible that the loss of her beloved son will cause her condition to worsen, and she may eventually die of depression. But Qin Anqiang was strong and had survived the saddest period of time. How could he have passed away so quickly
"Team Ming!" Xiao Man said on the phone, "I have checked the photo you brought back, and the fingerprints on it are the same as Qin Ke's. Qin Ke put Qin Ying's photo in!"
Mingshu had already anticipated this possibility earlier, so naturally he was not surprised.
Qin Ke's hatred for her parents is in sharp contrast to her feelings for Qin Ying. What does she know
Xiao Man added: "Zhou Yuan also found something. Originally, I wanted to report it together. He said no, I have to report it to you myself."
Mingshu understood as soon as he heard it, Zhou Yuan was thinking about what he said last time, and laughed, "I'll go back right away."
"This is Qin Ke's search and browsing records." Zhou Yuan gave up the seat in front of the display screen, "What she looked at on the encrypted notebook at her house were almost all unsolved murder cases and horror legends all over the country. "It's worth noting that both the phone and the computer are used solely by her, but she never watches this content on her phone."
"Because the mobile phone will be taken out, there is a possibility of losing it." Mingshu said while watching: "She is at risk of being known when she reads these things on her mobile phone."
Zhou Yuan said: "The notebook is very clean, there are no games installed, and there is no online shopping record. Qin Ke seems to only use it to look at unsolved cases and communicate with suspense lovers."
Mingshu noticed that Qin Ke had posted about his own story on the largest forum for suspense lovers in China four years ago—of course, the specific names of people and places were all pseudonyms.
She said that she never knew her father had a younger brother, her parents never mentioned it, and she could not find anyone other than her grandparents, parents, herself and her younger brother in the album at home. But as a teenager, she stumbled across a photo in an old dictionary. There were four people in the photo, three of whom she knew, her father and grandparents, but the other one she had never met.
You can see everyone's posture and expressions in the photo, this should be a family photo.
Since it's a family photo, why has she not only never seen the other person, but hadn't even heard of it
She took the photo to find her mother. The mother was shocked when she saw the photo, not only tore the photo to pieces, but also asked her where did she find the photo
Surprised and frightened, she pointed to the bookcase inside.
Mother hurried over and pulled out all the books in the bookcase.
The books fell to the ground with a rustling, and my mother flipped through it one by one in a madness.
Standing beside her mother, she felt that her mother had suddenly become very strange.
Just as her mother continued to flip through the book, she quietly walked over to the trash can, carefully found two photo fragments, and hid them in her clothes pocket.
Soon, my father came home.
My mother and my father talked for a long time, about to sell some old books to the collectors of waste books and newspapers.
In the evening, her father asked her if she had seen similar photos anywhere else.
She shook her head.
At that point she thought - even if she saw it, I wouldn't say it.
"Is that person our relative?" she asked.
Mother's expression became odd again. The father said, "No, it's just someone I know. Remember, he's not in our family. There's no such person in our family."
After turning the matter over, she pasted the two photos she had picked up. For many days and nights, when she thought of the people in the photos, she felt that they had something to say to her.
She has an aunt. It stands to reason that Auntie is a very close relative, but her mother does not like Auntie very much. She had something hidden in her heart, knowing that asking her parents would lead to no answer, so she thought of her aunt.
What if the aunt knows something!
Taking advantage of the holiday, she went to her aunt's house and took out the photo after delivering the gift.
The aunt said, isn't this Qin Ying
Qin Ying, it was the first time she knew that she had an uncle, and this uncle had disappeared before she was born, and her grandparents passed away one after another because she could not accept the disappearance of her uncle.
She has reached the age where she likes to think, and she can't help thinking, is the uncle really missing? If it was really missing, why did the parents dare not mention him? Why can't I find anything related to my uncle at home other than this photo
Gradually, a terrible guess came to her mind.
She tried to refute herself, but couldn't find any basis to refute.
The forums of suspense lovers gather a group of people with big brains. There are many replies to this post, and many people have come to the same conclusion - your uncle was not missing, but was killed by your parents.
Some even say that your grandparents may not have died of natural causes.
As for the motives, there are different opinions.
"Qin Ke registered for this forum five years ago, and posted this post four years ago, when she was only 17 years old." Mingshu said, "Can you find out where she is surfing the Internet?"
Zhou Yuan nodded, "It's an Internet cafe on Longcheng Road."
"Qin Ke started to indulge herself at the age of 17." Mingshu took a few steps in front of the screen. "It seems that this incident has indeed affected her whole outlook on life."
Zhou Yuan said: "It's a pity that she has been killed, otherwise it will definitely give us more information."
Mingshu assigned the task: "Continue to screen Qin Ke's interpersonal relationship, and one more thing, your technical investigators will have to work hard."
Zhou Yuan immediately stood up straight, "Team Ming, whatever you tell me."
"I suspect that the murderer has been eyeing Qin Ke on the Internet for a long time." Mingshu said: "Find a way to find those who observe Qin Ke secretly."
Qin Ying is an unexpected line. While touching this line, the routine investigation has not been interrupted.
Qin Xiong Huanghui is a businessman. Before the end of this summer, he is still the leader of the restaurant industry on Longcheng Road. It is inevitable that he will be hated like "Cheng Jianghu". Xu Chun rushed back with a clue that could not be ignored—
"Xinyang Kitchen", the predecessor of "Cheng Jianghu", also cooks Jianghu dishes. Because of the popular "Baby Shrimp" next to it, "Xinyang Kitchen" has always had a bleak business.
The word "Xinyang" was taken from Qu Xinyang, the son of the boss, Qu Yongfei, who suffered from a heart attack and was in urgent need of a sum of money for treatment last year. Qu Yongfei and his wife got up early and stayed up late, and in order to boost their business, they developed a special double-split dish. But it didn't take long for this dish to be copied by "Baby Shrimp".
Shuangpin is not really an innovation, but in the third section of Longcheng Road, only "Xinyang Kitchen" does this, and "Baby Shrimp" obviously borrowed from Qu Yongfei's creativity.
For this reason, Qu Yongfei asked Qin Xiong to discuss and beg. But Qin Xiong said in front of many people: "We each do our own business, your business is not good, it's because you don't work hard enough to get home. Whose family is not in trouble? I will take care of your family today, and tomorrow will be full of prosperity. My boss came to sell miserably and begged me to take care of me, so can I still do this business?"
In the first half of this year, Qu Xinyang failed to survive and left, and "Xinyang Kitchen" stopped welcoming guests after lingering for a while, and then welcomed a new boss, becoming "Cheng Jianghu".
At present, Qu Yongfei's family has left Dongye City and disappeared. To talk about the motive for committing the crime, Qu Yongfei is not without it.
Just when Xu Chun and Mingshu were discussing the case, Lan Qiao came to the serious crime team.
"Yo, Qiao'er is here!" Xu Chun greeted, "We just ordered dinner, we will eat together later."
Lan Qiao's expression was serious, and her brows were a little apologetic, "I know that the serious crime team is now under the pressure of two cases, and has no spare time to manage other cases. But I must report the case of Qiu Min's disappearance to you."
Mingshu opened the table and chairs, "Don't be so polite, let's talk, let's solve it together."
Lan Qiao told Mingshu completely that Qiu Min was taken away by Hong Chuanfei, and Qiu Min was taken away by another person, saying: "The clue is broken at Yatou Mountain, if you continue to investigate, it will inevitably involve Shouquan Town—because Qiu Min's mobile phone was last used in Shouquan Town. The case you are following is also in Shouquan Town."
"This person who took Qiu Min away is not easy." Xiao Yuan appeared in the serious crime team, "He is borrowing Hong Chuanfei's hand to do something."
"Xiao Bureau!" Lan Qiao hurriedly stood up before she had dealt with Xiao Yu'an.
Xiao Yu'an smiled at her gently, "Team Blue, hard work."
After Mingshu heard the ins and outs, he was walking the clues in his mind when he suddenly heard someone's cell phone ringing.
Xu Chun looked left and right, "Team Ming, your phone."
Mingshu picked it up and took a look, it was the young apprentice Fang Yuanhang.
Connected, the noise and Fang Yuanhang's voice came together: "Master! Your inference is correct! There is indeed a corpse on Qiyue Mountain!"
