Zhu Yanan didn't get off work until six o'clock, so Jian Jing took a detour to go somewhere first.
Covered with weeds, broken bricks and tiles, Ji Feng's alma mater looked as eerie as a ghost school in the cold winter wind.
She came to the alley where she had climbed in, climbed over the wall and jumped in, passed through the waist-high grass, and found the teaching building. Several classrooms on the ground floor still had their class signs, which read "Class 13".
wrong.
Jian Jing walked up the stairs carefully, daring only to step on the steel bars. She was afraid of the cement bricks and stones, for fear that they would be loose and she would die if she stepped down.
Before she climbed up, she was a little hesitant, wondering what if she guessed wrong? But as soon as she saw the broken desk on the stairs and the footprints next to it, she knew she was right.
There wasn't much dust on the table, and it was stuck right at a crack; it must have been done on purpose.
But it was strange that there were only handprints on the desk from the move, but no footprints, as if it had been moved here specially for her by standing on tiptoe.
Jian Jing suspected that this was a challenge: The thing is up there, can you come up
Can you do it to me? Why can't you? She was eager to win, so she braided her hair, lifted up her coat and skirt, and jumped up neatly.
Don't mention it, a table is still necessary.
She carefully avoided the rubble and walked up the stairs little by little, and finally found Class 3 (1) on the 4th floor.
All the desks inside had been moved away, leaving only an old podium. She turned on the flashlight, shone it towards the dust on the ground, and soon found a few blurry footprints.
She walked to the podium and squatted down.
The beam of light swayed inside the podium and fell into a hole.
Jian Jing kicked it twice to scare away the bugs hiding inside, then reached out to dig it out.
There was indeed a box in the cave with a small broken lock hanging on it.
Insert the key and turn it.
Inside was a dark blue plastic folder with a label strip taped to the front.
The fancy gradient color is the one she left at the police station.
I drew a smiley face on the paper:)
It gets dark early in winter, and Jian Jing was not in a hurry. She went downstairs as soon as she got the things.
It became steeper as we went down. The bricks and stones under our feet were shaking and trembling, and tiny stones were falling down with a crackling sound. It was inexplicably exciting.
Jian Jing jumped down intentionally, but when she reached the bottom floor, the stairs had collapsed a lot.
Is she happy
In the middle of winter, the place for dinner with Zhu Yanan is of course hotpot.
Not only she came, Liang Yi was also there, and said bluntly: "Don't worry, I won't eat you for nothing. I will definitely tell you about Ji Feng's matter if I know anything."
"Then you have to eat more." Jian Jing ordered the food without even looking at the menu and ordered freely.
Beef, mutton, shrimp, fish fillet, egg dumplings, vermicelli, vegetable platters... piled until the table could no longer hold them.
None of the three girls were on a diet, so they ate as much as they wanted.
Liang Yi was very hungry, so he wolfed down his food first. Zhu Yanan was more quiet, and asked while eating, "Teacher Jian, you came all the way to me, what do you want to ask? Let me make it clear first, I am not particularly familiar with Jifeng High School, but our homes are close, and my mother and his mother used to work in the same unit, and we went to the same kindergarten before."
Jian Jing thought about it and said, "Did he have the same temper as now before?"
"Of course not." Zhu Yanan rolled her eyes. "He's a much better guy now. When I was in school, I hated him so much."
Liang Yi gossiped: "What did he do?"
Zhu Yanan said: "He was showing off because of his intelligence. I remember it very clearly. When we were in kindergarten, we were doing IQ tests. The teacher said that if we couldn't finish them, we could go home and ask our parents for help. But he finished them before school was over and asked us, 'It's so simple, why don't you know how to do it?'"
Liang Yi: "Is your fist hard?"
"My mom said he made me cry. I went home and asked her if I was stupid and why I couldn't even answer such a simple question." Zhu Yanan remembered the dark history of his childhood very clearly. "He acted like he was so smart. People who didn't know him would think he was Einstein."
Jian Jing was happy, and asked again: "What about high school?"
"It's much better in high school." Zhu Yanan thought for a moment before saying, "In fact, when we were assigned to the same class at first, I didn't recognize him, but he still remembered me and said that I was smarter than when I was a child."
Liang Yi commented: "After being beaten by society, you can now speak human language."
"It's still very annoying. He relies on his good grades and never does his homework," Zhu Yanan said. "He reads in class, talks during self-study, and disrupts class order all day long. I can't control him."
Jian Jing: "I can't tell. I've never seen him speeding."
"Come to think of it, it seems like he suddenly changed during his senior year of high school." Zhu Yanan recalled, "I think about it, right, it was the first semester of senior year, he suddenly became different."
Jian Jing was shocked: "Tell me more about it."
"He didn't go to the evening self-study class." Zhu Yanan explained, "We were very strict in the senior year. Day students could leave early, but they had to attend at least two evening self-study classes. He left after his afternoon class. I remember this very clearly. Not only did he not go to the evening self-study class, he also didn't come to the morning self-study class. He arrived just as the bell rang for the first class every day."
She was very sure: "He was the only one who was different. I'm sure I remembered correctly. He was in the third year of high school."
"What happened?" Liang Yi interrupted.
Zhu Yanan frowned and said uncertainly: "My mother said that something happened at home, but at that time, his mother had passed away for several years, and we had no contact for a long time, so it was just hearsay."
Jian Jing asked, "When did his mother pass away?"
"Junior high school," Zhu Yanan said, "It looks like she has cancer. My mother's workplace went to see her."
Jian Jing nodded: "Which month did the incident happen in the third year of high school?"
"September or October... It's been a while, but the weather wasn't cold anyway." Zhu Yanan asked back, "Do you want to ask him what happened at that time?"
Liang Yi: "Why don't you just ask him? He won't tell you."
Jian Jing didn't know how to explain, so she smiled and said, "Something's going on. Anything else?"
Zhu Yanan thought hard for a long time before saying, "We were busy reviewing in the third year of high school and didn't pay much attention to other people's affairs. However, there is one thing I remember very clearly. He only filled in one application."
Jian Jing: "Public Security University?"
She nodded. "Everyone filled out five applications in the application forms I collected, but he only wrote one. I remember reminding him at the time that filling out only one was not a guarantee, what if he was not accepted? It would be better to write more."
"The results of it?"
"I thought he would say 'I will definitely be admitted' or something, but he said..." Zhu Yanan said, "If I'm not admitted this year, I'll just repeat the year. I have to go in no matter what."
Liang Yi: "There's something strange."
She ate half her fill and had the energy to start talking: "Ji Feng is also quite famous in our school. On the one hand, our school beauty pursued him at that time - Hey, Teacher Jian, has he told you this gossip?"
"No." Jian Jing was puzzled, "Will there be anyone chasing after him?"
"Listen to me." Liang Yi said excitedly, "You can't blame our school beauty for being blind. He looked very deceptive at the time. His grades were very good, in all subjects. He looked decent and didn't have a girlfriend. At that time, everyone was naive. We didn't look at his family background. We just chased him if we thought he was good."
Jian Jing asked: "Then what?"
"He refused." Liang Yi said, "Then he was beaten up. Well, okay, he might have beaten up other people. Anyway, they were all admitted to the school hospital."
She shrugged: "This is big news. Everyone in my class knows about it."
Jian Jing asked curiously: "Why did you refuse? What's the reason?"
"I don't know, it's probably not a good thing." Liang Yi said, "The school beauty went back to the dormitory and cried for a while."
Jian Jing: “…”
She picked up the shrimp paste and dropped it into the soy sauce, then asked slowly, "Did he have any good friends in college?"
Liang Yi thought about it and was suddenly surprised: "Don't mention it, he has a lot of friends. He said he has a special relationship with someone..." She swallowed two slices of beef and still shook her head, "I don't think there is anyone - maybe you are one of them?"
"Who is so close to him?" Jian Jing rolled her eyes, "We are just acquaintances."
Liang Yi disagreed: "I? I think Ji Feng treats you very well, right Yanan?"
Zhu Yanan nodded.
Jian Jing was shocked: "You guys also support this kind of couple?"
Liang Yi & Zhu Yanan: "..."
"No more joking." Jian Jing got back to the point. "I want to know, if he wants help, who might he ask for help?"
Liang Yi pointed at her with the tip of his chopsticks.
Jian Jing: "I? No." She shook her head, "He always says half and hides the other half. If I? knew, why would I ask you?"
"Half of the story is good enough." Liang Yi took a bite of the egg dumpling and said vaguely, "We are still confused now. Is he in trouble?"
Jian Jing thought about it and said, "Now we can only say that we have lost contact."
"How did it fail?"
"can not get connected."
Liang Yi rolled her eyes: "It's not normal that I can't get through to him... Oh, oh, oh, it's not normal." She made a face at Zhu Yanan and said with a smile, "Anyway, we have to turn off our phones when we are taking action."
Jian Jing shook her head and straightened her face: "It's not work."
"Are you sure? Maybe it's a secret mission." Liang Yi trusted Ji Feng quite a bit and didn't think too much about it.
Jian Jing frowned: "I don't think it's right. Why don't you try to fight him and see if he accepts it."
Liang Yi was quick to call, but the result was no surprise: "The number you dialed is turned off."
She scratched her head: "What should we do? Are you going to go? Find him?"
"Let's find out the situation first." Jian Jing said, "Have you heard him mention any old cases?"
Zhu Yanan made a "can't help" gesture: "We are not a system."
Liang Yi thought for a while and said, "As for the old case, I remember one thing. When we had our farewell dinner after graduation, everyone was drunk. He suddenly asked Brother Yang - uh, he was Ji Feng's buddy, they lived in the same dormitory - if he had heard of the November 2 cremation case."
Jian Jing took note of it silently.
The three of them ordered some ramen, and ate tomato beef noodles with the hot pot base and beef slices, then went home.
Before leaving, Liang Yi said, "If you want to ask about Ji Feng's personal affairs, we have already tried our best. If it's something else, I will definitely help you as much as I can. Don't be polite."
Jian Jing thanked them: "You have been a great help."
"Catch that bastard? Give us a call." Liang Yi said, "Yanan, we'll give him a hotpot meal then."
Zhu Yanan smiled and added, "I just remembered something that you might want to know - Ji Feng's father seems to be called Ji Liming, and he used to be a policeman."
After returning home, Jian Jing immediately searched the case online.
The November 2 corpse burning case, also known as the "Heping City serial murder and corpse burning case," was a super-major case that lasted for many years.
It all started on November 2, 2002.
That day, sanitation worker Chen Dagang went to the police station to report that he had found a burned body.
The police from the police station found a burned female corpse in the abandoned chemical plant according to his instructions. The body's appearance, fingerprints and clothes were all burned, and it was impossible to identify the body. The skeleton was still intact. After forensic examination, it was believed that it was a young woman between 20 and 28 years old who had never given birth.
There were not many traces left at the scene. Only half of a shoe print was found. It was a size 40 shoe. After comparison, it was found to be a very common type of rubber shoe on the market.
The pattern on the sole is badly worn, so it's probably not a new pair of shoes. Considering that this pair of shoes is relatively cheap, the murderer's financial situation must not be very good.
Apart from this, there are no more clues
The police were at a loss as to what to do. On the evening of November 8, a truck driver called 119 and said that he saw flames at a construction site by the river and was afraid that there was a fire, so he asked the firefighters to go over and check out the situation.
The firefighters arrived at the construction site fully armed, but they did not see a fire, only a burned body.
Like the charred corpse in the abandoned factory, the appearance of this corpse was destroyed and no useful information could be detected. The only thing that could be determined based on the bones was that it was a young woman in her 20s.
In addition, because the discovery was made at an early time, there was still some unburned fuel left at the scene, which was determined to be No. 0 diesel after testing.
The two cases were highly similar and the methods used in both cases were extremely cruel, which soon attracted the attention of the higher-ups. Under the leadership of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, a large number of manpower was deployed to investigate.
However, this is just the beginning.
