If it wasn't for me being impatient and having a good attitude to confess my guilt, I'm afraid this prank would not have been eaten and walked away.
After calming the anger in Li Meilin's chest, the two of us drove directly to Xu Yuanyuan's dormitory building. Through the surveillance at the door, we quickly found the company that received the courier, and the courier turned out to be the one who ran a red light and ran into a police car last night. Courier boy.
When Li Meilin and I approached him, the courier brother seemed very nervous. He might have mistakenly thought that we came to him to settle accounts after the fall because of what happened last night.
I didn't bother with him, I just showed him Xiaoying's photo and asked him, "Do you remember that this girl sent a package the day before yesterday afternoon?"
"Of course I remember!" I didn't expect the courier brother to reply without thinking.
I'm a little puzzled, the courier guy should receive and deliver a lot of couriers every day, why is he so sure just seeing Xiaoying's photo
Knowing that we didn't come to him because of the crash last night, the courier brother relaxed obviously and answered my doubts with a smile.
"This girl's name is Huang Ying. She often does online shopping, and most of the people who deliver express delivery to her are me. After a long time, I will know each other naturally."
It turned out to be the case. I nodded slightly and asked again, "Then do you still remember what Huang Ying was mailing?"
"It's a basketball model."
"Basketball model?"
"Yes, although I am familiar with Huang Ying, I checked it according to the regulations."
"How big is that basketball model?"
"It's about the size of a normal basketball, but it's a little heavier."
I gradually narrowed my eyes, a heavy basketball model? There must be a problem here.
If I'm not mistaken, then this basketball model may contain the head of the deceased.
"Oh, that's right!" The courier brother seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued, "Although the basketball model was mailed by Huang Ying, her name was not written on the mailing list."
"then you… "
"Then do you remember whose name was written on the mailing slip?" Li Meilin suddenly interrupted, and her burning eyes instantly fell on the courier brother's face.
I glanced at her dissatisfiedly, but did not accuse her of interrupting me on the spot, after all, I had to save her face in front of outsiders.
The delivery guy raised his hand and scratched his hair, and said uncertainly, "It seems to be called Yuanyuan. I don't remember the exact surname. I have to go back and check the express list."
According to the information provided to us by the courier brother, we got the whereabouts of the courier, and we drove to track the package that had been mailed as soon as possible.
The recipient's name is Xu Tianlai, and the delivery address is a shoe manufacturer in the suburbs. However, when we called Xu Tianlai according to the mobile phone number filled in the express slip, the voice system prompted: "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later..."
On the way to trace the whereabouts of the package, I asked Li Meilin to send someone to investigate the information about the mobile phone number, but the information that came back surprised us a little.
The recipient's mobile number turned out to be Xu Yuanyuan's.
Could it be that Xu Yuanyuan's missing mobile phone is in the hands of Xu Tianlai? With all kinds of doubts, we quickly found the little brother who delivered the courier to Xu Tianlai.
When we explained our intention to him, the courier brother told us that the courier had been received, and it was signed by a man with a hat and a mask.
I asked the courier brother: "Is the package signed by the shoe manufacturer that was filled in on the delivery address?"
"No, the courier was picked up on a remote road some distance away from that shoe factory," he told us.
I asked again, "Do you have an impression of the person who received the package?"
The delivery guy thought back and told us: "I remember that the man who received the package was a hunchback, but I don't know exactly what he looked like, because he was wearing a hat and mask, which almost covered his entire face."
With hat and mask? Then this person's action is obviously not wanting the courier brother to see his appearance, and the hunchback is very likely to be disguised to deliberately confuse the police's investigation direction.
And he chose to receive the package in a remote road that is still some distance away from the shoe factory, which should be to avoid surveillance and prevent us from effectively tracking him.
When we went to investigate the shoe manufacturing factory filled in the address, we found that there were hundreds of workers in the factory, but none of them had a hunchback. To find out who received the package from so many people was like finding a needle in a haystack .
And I suspect that the man disguised as a hunchback is not an employee of this shoe factory at all, and the address is just filled in casually. The real reason is because it is remote enough and not too far from the school where Xu Yuanyuan is studying. It is completely possible to receive and transfer the package when the police investigate the clue of express delivery.
So now it is absolutely certain that Xu Tianlai's name is fake. As long as he has Xu Yuanyuan's mobile phone number, he can be contacted by the little brother who delivered the courier, and then successfully receive the package, and the name is useless at all.
As for the relationship between the hunchbacked man who received the package and the murderer? We can now boldly speculate that one is that the hunchbacked man is an accomplice of the murderer; the other is that the hunchbacked man himself is the murderer of Xu Yuanyuan.
Because we didn't find the package mailed in Xu Yuanyuan's name, and we didn't even find the person who received the package, so Li Meilin and I didn't get any valuable information this trip.
On the way back, Li Meilin and I remained silent. Since the mailed package has nowhere to go, we can only start from the person who mailed the package.
When we came to Xu Yuanyuan's dormitory again, it happened that Huang Ying, Tang Yan and the three daughters of the fairy were all in the dormitory. I deliberately sniffed a few times with my nose, and found that the tempting aroma that filled the bedroom yesterday had faded and could hardly be smelled.
The three girls didn't show much surprise at our arrival, as if they already knew that we would find them again.
Li Meilin decided in her heart that Yang Biao was the murderer, so the following investigations were almost all led by me. After my eyes wandered back and forth on the three girls several times, they finally landed on Huang Ying.
I straightened my face and asked, "Student Huang Ying, I would like to know if you helped Xu Yuanyuan deliver a package at 5 o'clock in the afternoon the day before she was killed?"
Huang Ying thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes! At first, Yuanyuan wanted Tang Yan to help her deliver her downstairs to the courier brother, but Tang Yan was playing a game and didn't go, so Yuanyuan looked for it again. I."
"Why didn't Xu Yuanyuan deliver the package by herself?"
"Because she was doing laundry at the time."
"Then do you know what was in the package that Xu Yuanyuan mailed?"
"I know, it's a basketball model." Huang Ying blinked her almond eyes, looking cute and cute, and then asked back, "Isn't there something wrong with that basketball model?"
Instead of answering her question immediately, I ran through all the clues in my head.
If the basketball model that was mailed out contained Xu Yuanyuan's head, it meant that she was killed before 5pm on Saturday.
And I clearly remember that the difference in the walking posture of the two Xu Yuanyuan in the surveillance video started when the fake 'Xu Yuanyuan' went to Yang Biao's bedroom to pick up clothes. The last time the real Xu Yuanyuan appeared was at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, which was the time she returned to the dormitory after having had a room with Yang Biao.
In this way, it can be determined that Xu Yuanyuan was killed between 1 pm and 5 pm on Saturday. And the fake 'Xu Yuanyuan' dragged her suitcase to the rooftop in the middle of the night and was raped and murdered was actually an illusion, an illusion that cleverly pointed all the clues to Yang Biao as the murderer.
As for the murderer, who is the fake 'Xu Yuanyuan' who took the suitcase to the rooftop? Or 'Yang Biao' who left the dormitory for three and a half hours in the middle of the night? Or the hunchbacked man receiving the package? What is the relationship between the three people? Is it the same person pretending to be? There are too many doubts, and it is not yet completely certain.
But one thing is certain, that is, there is a connection between the three.
Did the murderer come from Xu Yuanyuan's bedroom or from Yang Biao's bedroom? Why did they kill Xu Yuanyuan? What is the motivation? This problem still bothers me so far.
"Is there any problem with the basketball model? Let's ignore it for now. I just want to ask, did you find any problem with the 'Xu Yuanyuan' who asked you to help mail the package?"
"Ah?" Huang Ying was obviously taken aback, "What can be wrong with Yuanyuan?"
I smiled and said, "I suspect that 'Xu Yuanyuan' is fake. She may be the murderer of the real Xu Yuanyuan."
"How is this possible? How can there be two Yuanyuan?"
My words completely shocked Huang Ying, and even Li Meilin, Tang Yan, and Fairy who were on the side looked at me in confusion.
"I found from the surveillance video I retrieved that the real Xu Yuanyuan never appeared after returning to the dormitory at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the fake 'Xu Yuanyuan' appeared after that. In other words, the time when Xu Yuanyuan was really killed was Saturday from 1pm to 5pm."
I paused, and my eyes became bright: "I want to know, during this period of time, who are you, Tang Yan, and the fairy in the dormitory?"
Huang Ying seemed to be frightened, but Tang Yan on the side looked at me with her head tilted, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Are you suspecting that the murderer is one of the three of us?"
I curved my lips and smiled softly: "I didn't doubt you, I just wanted to know who the three of you were in the dormitory at that time?"
Tang Yan snorted coldly, and there was a hint of indifference in his beautiful eyes: "The three of us were all in the dormitory at the time."
"All three of you in the bedroom?" I repeated, then gradually narrowed my eyes.
"Yes!" Tang Yan stared at me and replied in a firm tone.
I am a little puzzled. Why did Tang Yan react so aggressively when I asked who was in the bedroom at the time. Could she be the murderer of Xu Yuanyuan
But judging from the way the murderer killed Xu Yuanyuan and successfully put the blame on Yang Biao, the other party should be a smart, calm, thoughtful and very rigorous person. If Tang Yan was the murderer, then she shouldn't be so aggressive.
Fairy was also obviously taken aback by my guess. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, she whispered, "We don't know when Yuanyuan went back to the dormitory that day, because the three of us were on a lunch break at that time."
lunch break? Could it be that the three of them had already been drugged and fell asleep at that time? Or is it someone who is lying
I sneered and took out the courier slip I borrowed from the courier brother to show the three girls, and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know whose handwriting is on it?"
The eyes of the three girls all fell on the express delivery list, and then Tang Yan and Huang Ying's eyes fell on Fairy's face one after another.
"Yes... it's my handwriting." Fairy swallowed hard, "but Yuanyuan asked me to help her fill in."
