Chapter 396: In the clouds and fog

"If the murderer knew it would snow at night, he would kill the person in the afternoon, burn the body half-extinction, hide it in the garbage dump, cover it with plastic sheeting, tie the four corners with fishing line, and tie it to a heavy object - closed Mouth, why are you laughing? What happened to the fishing line? I just like the fishing line - wait until it snows, then untie it, and it will be gone when the wind blows.

"In this way, it seems that the body was not completely burned because of the snow. In fact, the person was already dead."

Ji Feng didn't respond. Jian Jing continued: "Lunch is even simpler. I bought it in the evening. Who can prove that it went into Li Xiaonuan's stomach? With Li Xiaonuan's conditions, it is unreasonable to eat such an expensive burger. I Think about it, the person who was so permed that he impressed the landlady was not the deceased at all

"The murderer bought Li Xiaonuan a hamburger for lunch at noon and killed her in the afternoon. Then he changed into her clothes and went to the store in the evening to buy an identical one? He deliberately left an impression on the store owner and faked the deceased. ?The illusion of being alive in the evening.”

"You put it this way, is the murderer a woman? Or does she have an accomplice?"

Ji Feng is a little unsure.

The deceased were all of medium build and weighed about 90 to 100 kilograms, which was not considered light. It is not easy for an ordinary woman to throw a body into the wilderness, and it is rare for women to wear size 40 shoes.

Jian Jing: "It could also be a man. He is wrapped in a thick coat, wearing a scarf and a wig. It is generally unrecognizable. A man wearing size 40 shoes must not be tall."

Ji Feng hummed and grasped the key point: "Do you think he is a man?"

"I can't tell." She hesitated, "The way the murderer treated the body made me feel like a man."

he mused.

In this case, the murderer's psychological motivation is also the focus of the police investigation.

The veteran policeman said that young women may simply be chosen because they are easier to target and less likely to be "detected." The young policeman said that the murderer may have hated women and that it was his childhood that led to all this. He may have had a vicious stepmother, or he may have been sexually abused as a child.

There is another saying: If the murderer is not found, the self-confidence of a normal man can be regained only by killing people.

At present, it seems that the murderer did not randomly select his victims. He carefully selected a few missing objects that were not easy to be found as his targets.

Therefore, it is too much of a coincidence that they are all young women. Even if a woman has to be chosen because of her thin body, the age should not be so similar.

The first type can be excluded.

The second one... there is no evidence. Although corpse burning is cruel, it is burning after death. Burning to death is not the cause of death. There was no evidence that the girl had been abused before her death.

The third option seems the most likely, and this may also be the key reason why the murderer burned the body—he wanted to remove any remaining hair and dander.

However, psychological motivations are ultimately just speculation.

The alibi that Teacher Jian said is more reliable.

Ji Feng said: "As for the alibi in Li Xiaonuan's case, only the boss has it."

"Check his relationship with several other deceased people?"

"I'm asking Lao Gao for help."

Lao Gao is experienced in many battles. It is easy to check social relationships and find information quickly.

The boss who hired Li Xiaonuan was named Huang Sheng. He was 25 years old in 2007. He had just graduated from college a few years ago. He used to be a teacher in a private school and later decided to open his own tutoring class.

From 2002 to 2003, he studied at the Normal College in his hometown and had no connection with the other deceased.

Jian Jing couldn't help but said: "Who else is more suspected in the Li Xiaonuan case, but is there anyone with an alibi?"

Lao Gao: "No more."

she:"… "

The fox's tail is also well hidden.

Fortunately, Ji Feng had already arrived in Beijing, found his agent, and obtained a confession. Afraid of missing something in his retelling, he sent Jian Jing an audio recording of their conversation.

Agent: "Comrade police, I heard that you are looking for me? I am a good law-abiding citizen."

Ji Feng: "Don't be nervous. I want to ask you something today. Just answer it truthfully."

Agent: "Haha, I will definitely cooperate with you in your work."

Ji Feng: "Do you remember the name Liu Meng?"

Agent: "Liu Meng? Who? Sorry, I meet a lot of people every day. Do you have any photos?"

The sound of picking out pockets.

Agent: "This woman... looks familiar. I may have seen her before, but I'm not familiar with her."

Ji Feng: "She was your model in 2007."

Agent: "2007?! What year is this in the old calendar? I have changed three companies. Oh, you have found the wrong person."

Ji Feng: "She was killed in December 2007. At that time, you had a good relationship with her, right?"

Agent (voice becomes tense): "I didn't kill anyone."

Ji Feng: "When was the last time you saw Liu Meng?"

It was quiet for a while.

Agent (not sure?): "Probably a few days before Christmas, the 23rd?"

Ji Feng: "Tell me more specifically."

Agent: "It happened more than ten years ago, I really can't remember... Liu Meng, oh, she has a good attitude towards work, she rarely complains about being tired, and I am willing to help her. In 2007, let me think about it , by the way, there was a New Year's Day special issue cover, which I managed to get. Although it was not a big magazine, it was still a cover. She promised me that she would take a good photo, but on the day of the photo shoot, no one came. "

He patted his thigh and said loudly and loudly, "Yes, no? Come on, I will find someone to replace you again, just to cause trouble for me."

Ji Feng: "What date is that?"

Agent: "New Year's Day is on January 1st. I went to the printing factory on the 30th. I calculated that the cover shoot was at least before the 27th. The 26th and 27th are two days. I don't remember the specific time."

Ji Feng: "Don't you want to find her?"

Agent (disdainful): "What should I do with her? She is not willing to do it. There are many people who are willing to do it, and I still indulge them? They are not my ancestors."

Ji Feng: "I couldn't contact Liu Meng later, and didn't I find her?"

Agent: "Officer, I now have the contact information of hundreds of girls. In the past, there were almost seventy or eighty. I have to say that I have never found her, which is not necessarily true, but a few times. If I can’t get in touch, I’m sure I won’t care about her anymore. We just have a cooperative relationship, maybe she feels tired and doesn’t want to do it anymore?”

Ji Feng: "You just said that she is not afraid of hardship."

Agent: "I just said it casually, and there is no conflict. I have seen many girls quit half of their jobs. It's not that they don't want to make money, but because they have a better way out. Who is interested in Liu Meng? Who wants to feel at ease?" It’s normal to be a mistress.”

Ji Feng: "Has anyone expressed such affection to her?"

Agent: "I can't remember. There may have been one or two at the dinner party, but the bosses couldn't help but throw themselves at me. I guess they don't even know Liu Meng's name. Wait, I remembered it. Liu Meng seems to have Boyfriend, go ask him."

Ji Feng: "I'm asking you, does Liu Meng have any good friends?"

Agent: "No impression."

Ji Feng: "Where were you on the night of the 27th?"

Agent: "The studio. We are very busy on New Year's Day and Christmas. We will be here day and night for at least two weeks."

Ji Feng: "Have you been with other people?"

Agent: "Yes, I swear to that. There is a lot of work. I have to take them to the studio, contact them, and have dinner parties with my boss. I also have to bring people to support me. You want to ask me who I will be with on that day? I definitely can’t remember, but someone must have seen me on those days. If you don’t believe me, go check it out.”

Ji Feng: "Has Liu Meng ever mentioned to you that he was being pursued or followed?"

Agent: "No? No."

Ji Feng: "Before and after her disappearance, was there anything that you thought was strange? Anything happened."

Agent: "I have no impression at all. No, you have found the wrong person."

Then, Ji Feng messed up the above questions and repeated them several times. The agent's answers were occasionally reversed, but there were no contradictions.

The recording ends.

He was stuck for time and dialed the phone: "Are you done listening?"

Jian Jing: "Yeah."

"Any ideas?"

"The people around him have no impression of him, which is also a characteristic." She said, "They are the kind of people who appear next to the deceased but do not attract anyone's attention."

Ji Feng's interface: "Taxi driver, courier, insurance salesman..." In the blink of an eye, a hidden clue came to mind, "Housing agency."

Wang Zihui's roommate said that she was moving. Wang Zihui would most likely need a new roommate. Liu Meng had a quarrel with his roommate and might want to move to a new residence.

They may all be connected with intermediaries, but they will never attract attention.

Jian Jing: "In Li Xiaonuan's case, was the person riding in Wu Honglin's car also an agent?"

Ji Feng: "Yes."

"I'll go talk to her." Jian Jing pulled out the information.

The passenger is a more important witness, and her identity information and signature are included in the confession. Her name is Yu Can. She was 28 years old in 2007 and is now a middle-aged woman in her late 40s.

I found her social security record through her ID card and found the company where she currently works. She is now the store manager of a home furnishing store.

Jian Jing observed her from a distance for several minutes.

Yu Can has short, smart hair, dyed burgundy. She is wearing a tight wool skirt and high-heeled boots. She has a good figure and fashionable clothes, and her age cannot be seen at all.

"Hello, Ms. Yu," she said, "Can we chat?"

"Hello, is this your first time here?" Yu Can greeted warmly, "Sit inside and take a look around." He asked the clerk to pour hot tea, "Did a friend introduce you here? How far has the home been decorated? ? What style of furniture do you like?”

Jian Jing was about to buy furniture, so she was not in a hurry and asked casually.

But Yu Can said: "Miss, what you want is of a higher grade. We only make mid-range furniture, which may not meet your requirements."

Very sincere.

Jian Jing smiled: "No? If there is something that matches, forget it. I came here to ask you another thing - did you encounter a big event in 2007?"

Yu Can said in surprise: "Yes, how do you know?"

"I'm a relative of that girl," she said, "I want to ask you, have you seen that girl before?"

Yu Can said: "You are mistaken. When the police came to look for me, I was in a black car." She shuddered and seemed to still be frightened. "It scared me to death. I will never forget this incident in my life. Listen to what I said. , the driver killed someone with his front foot, and then pulled me with his back foot. My friend said, maybe? I was almost unlucky. "

She was very talkative, and she poured out a lot without Jian Jing's questions.

Jian Jing asked: "You were working as an intermediary there, have you ever seen the deceased?"

Yu Can shook his head: "The police showed me the photos, but I have no impression. She is not our client either. Chengxi had just started to develop in 2007, and there were very few renters. Half of the people who came to inquire were small business owners or investors."

"Let me ask you, why did you drive that day? Aren't you afraid it was so late?"

Yu Can said: "I'm afraid, but it was too late that day."

"Our branch had just opened at that time, and there were only three of us. We all wanted to sign big orders and were out running every day. I remember clearly that on the morning of the 17th, I helped two customers sign contracts? In the afternoon, I made appointments with tenants to view the house. It was very busy. It was almost time for dinner, and I still had to go back and work overtime to sort out the information. Computers were not that popular at that time, so houses had to be sold and tenants needed to be calculated by hand.

"My colleague and I were busy until late at night. The lights outside were all dark and there were no buses. I asked my colleague if he could take me to the subway station. He said he wanted to pick up a friend and not go to the subway station. Over there, let me take a taxi and go.

"To be honest, I don't want to take the black car for fear of being unsafe, but my colleague said that he took it a few times and saw that I was worried, so he accompanied me there and told the driver to take me home properly. Nothing happened after that. I felt embarrassed that I was making a fuss, but who knew that within a few days, the police would come to the door. "

She looked happy: "I was scared to death, so I quickly quit my job as an agency. Making money is good, but you also have to spend your life."

Jian Jing: "What's the name of your colleague?"

Yu Can thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Zhao Bin."

"How is he? Alone?"

Yu Can’s impression is already blurry, and I can only give a rough summary: “She is quite silent, not tall, and seems to have a bit of inferiority complex. She is very polite to others, and speaks like a Yu sister. She is also hard-working and not afraid of doing chores. ”

Jian Jing nodded and wrote down a phone call: "Thank you. If you think of anything, you can call me."
