Chapter 120: Clues
The next day when I woke up, my mother and Mao Biqiu still sleeping, I asked the morning research Lu, he said there is no big problem! Mao Biqiu was just overworked yesterday, while mother was weak! Just rest and relax!
Hearing that there's nothing wrong with them, I let go of my heart.
When I got up and ate some food, Rong Rong's phone call came over. I just got through, and she seemed to be very concerned about my father's situation.
I don't want to let Rong Rong sister worry for me, had to tell a lie, Rong Rong sister didn't say anything after hearing it, just said that let Mao Bi ask for good assistance in my investigation, and then hung up after that!
Hang up the phone, the morning research Lu will then again in the kitchen busy up.
And I ran to the second floor of the mother's room to see the mother.
At this time, the mother's face is still very pale, still unconscious, but compared to yesterday, has been much better, I hold her hand tightly so have been sitting.
Nothing to say, nothing to do, but I like this feeling!
Just like this stupid sitting for half an hour, until the morning research Lu and Mao Bijie walked in, I only from it back to God, Mao Bijie today's face is not very good, I see him walking are not too steady, it seems that yesterday in order to my mother he really wasted a lot of effort!
Mao Biqiu came in, then greeted me out, Chen Yanlu and I accompanied him to the downstairs living room, sat down, he asked about yesterday's events.
Chen Ranlu replied, "Yesterday, after you and Mimi left, I was staring at uncle's coffin in the living room as you requested, and never left, but this situation lasted for just a few minutes, and suddenly a gust of cloudy wind blew in, probably because I've experienced too much of this kind of thing in the past couple of days, so I don't need to think about it to know what it is!"
As Chen Yanlu said this, he glanced at Mao Biqiu and I, as if he wanted to see the attitude of the two of us.
Seeing both of us nodding he continued, "So, I hurriedly picked up that big rooster, at that time, because I was in a hurry and didn't think of any good ways to cope with it, I just remembered that Mao Bijie said that roosters can ward off evil spirits, so I picked up that rooster and thought of ways to make him chirp!"
"And then?" I interrupted him.
"And then you don't say it worked quite well!" Morning Research Dew looked excited.
"The rooster played a few chirps, that Yin Qi really disappeared, but just when I thought that thing should be driven away by me, the second floor aunt's room suddenly messed up, I heard aunt talking to herself again, the room door is closed, but the voice is very clear!"
"Talking to herself? Isn't it just from her talking to herself that she started to become crazy again? But …… isn't there a talisman I put on her door? It should be impossible for that evil thing to dare to punch the talisman?"
Mao Biqiu was a bit impatient. Raising his own doubts, and I also thought of it when I was reminded by him.
If I remember correctly, Mao Biqiu did indeed put a talisman on his mother's door.
This talisman was used to ward off evil spirits, as he said at the time? Could it be that the charm was too long? Is it no longer effective? Or is the evil too strong? The talisman can't suppress it anymore.
The next words of Chen Yanlu dispelled both of our doubts, he said: "The talisman paper is not a problem, mainly because I put Auntie out!"
Speaking here, he lowered his head in some shame. Like a child who has made a mistake, he honestly explained, "The thing is like this, in the beginning she talked to herself I went upstairs and shouted towards the inside what's wrong? Auntie said nothing, then she said she wanted to go to the toilet and asked me to open the door for her, I didn't think much about it then and opened the door."
"At that time, her tone and state sounded the same as a normal person! There was nothing special at all, so I didn't suspect much! She came out and rushed downstairs holding a paper figure, and you know the rest?"
"Why did she let you open the door?" Mao Biqiu frowned.
Chen Yanlu said, "At first I might have been stunned and I didn't pay attention, but today I came back to my senses, Auntie can obviously open the door when she's inside again? Why do you want me to open the door for her outside, thinking about it, I feel it should be that thing is afraid of the talisman paper on the door!"
After listening to Chen Yanlu tell the whole story, Mao Biqiu and I finally understood the reason.
Mao Biqiu frowned, his fists clenched tightly.
He said in a serious tone: "Auntie's matter must be that woman's ghost will not be false! This woman really doesn't know what kind of deep hatred she has with your family, but she even wants to cause death, I must catch her!"
Chen Ranlu heard this, seems to be a little confused, and quickly asked me two women? What women!
I said: "Yesterday we went out and found the person who harmed my father in an alley, but unfortunately she had already run away, leaving only a pool of blood and an incense burner, yesterday Mao Bijiu examined it, and determined that the person was a woman!"
I know very well, although up to now Mao Biqiu didn't tell me directly how that menstrual blood was concluded to be a woman, but I know that it should be that the female mage had her physiological period when she was fighting with Mao Biqiu again!
This kind of thing I believe that even she herself is not expected.
To know in me and the black cat first saw her when she next to no blood, this back and forth only how long, there is blood, it is obvious that it is her, this point does not have any doubt.
My explanation, morning research dew although still do not quite understand, but also nodded, asked asked Mao Biqiu what to do next?
At the same time, I also looked at Mao Biqiu to hear his thoughts!
Mao Biqiu coughed lightly, then sat up straight, looked at the two of us, deflated and began to analyze: "Since there are already some eyebrows, it should be said, we should not be late or catch that person as soon as possible!"
Speaking of this, he paused, then turned his tone. "However, as of now, the enemy is again in the dark and I am in the light, if we directly start it will most likely backfire and startle the snakes."
Eventually he sighed, "Let's put it this way! Today is the fourth day of uncle's wake, you two still don't forget to keep the wake, at noon I'm going to go back and check on Rong Rong, I'll come back at night."
"During that time then I hope that you guys will make some connections, and also go to that police officer called Song Song, see if you can transfer the surveillance camera around that alley from him, in that case the cooperation with the police may be a little faster!"
Chen Yanlu asked in confusion, "But at the beginning when Officer Song said that he dissected uncle's body, didn't you say that you didn't need the police?"
Mao Biqiu immediately corrected: "That is the anatomy does not need the police, like uncle this case is evil things haunted, the anatomy is not much use, and will also be harmful to the corpse, but this investigation is different, the police as the grassroots of the society as the public security personnel, the efficiency of the work is certainly faster than us!"
I was listening to their conversation, but did not speak.
The reason why I didn't speak was because I had actually wanted to ask Officer Song for help.
No matter what, the police's experience in solving crimes as well as their tools are more elite than ours, but then again, this help is only limited to the investigation, if it's an autopsy, I'm still that way, I don't agree.
I said: "Let the police help no problem, but the police are afraid that the woman behind the opponent, in case of anger she harmed the police is not impossible, so you must also be ready to stop her to do so!" My words were clearly addressed to Mao Biqiu!
Mao Biqiu nodded and said, "That's of course! I have my own measure on this one, alright, now that that woman has extended her target from uncle alone to your entire family, it's time for us to work harder and catch someone!"
After saying that, Mao Biqiu made an expression that he wouldn't turn back until he hit the south wall, then with an easy smile, he said goodbye to Chen Yanlu and I, and left!
After he left, Chen Yanlu and I were left, and to put it in my heart, these few days did aggravate Sister Rongrong.
He and Mao Beiqiu only married one day, there was this file, Mao Beiqiu was called over by me, has been staying here to help, have not gone back, the newlyweds, the two small without guessing.
Originally have to small two honeymoon period, have delayed, I think Rong Rong sister also some unhappy, but she understands the importance of the lesser of the two, after all, my father is his uncle, and is a human life.
But for some reason, the more I think about it, the more I feel guilty about Rongrong sister!
The side of the morning research Lu see me again restless, even asked me how, I told him my inner thoughts, feel very guilty Rong Rong sister, he did not say anything more, just said: "Do not give yourself too much pressure, everything has me?" He said, "Don't give yourself too much pressure, everything has me." He hugged me tightly.
Every time I lie on his chest, I have an inexplicable sense of security, as if the sky is not afraid of the collapse!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, I and the morning research dew punctually out, in the street downstairs played a cab, then straight to the police station!
During the police station in order for me to pay attention to the case, and as soon as possible to intervene, specially mobilized interpersonal relations, relying on the school and the teachers and principals of the relationship is not bad situation, beg them to help.
Who knows that the phone only played three, I then sophomore class teacher will take the initiative to offer to help, said I have heard of my family's situation, he can now help a little, when I told her the family's situation, she also advised me to look on the bright side, people can not be resurrected, I'm sorry for the loss of life!
As a result, you do not say, my classroom teacher only promised a few minutes, a few minutes after the Song Song's phone, will be directly called, said by the instructions of the higher-ups, my father's case there are a lot of doubts, the police will soon be involved in the police station at two o'clock in the afternoon, he will go to the police station directly, he will be fully responsible for the case of the!
Although his mouth said so, but also understand that I am designated to use the relationship, otherwise, two days ago when my father just died how no superior instructions?
Heart a little less satisfied, but had to take orders, I said thank you, and he casually said a couple of sentences, he will have a case to deal with, to busy, because time is still early, I and the morning study Lu and then home to the father's remains of the worship.
Mother is still in a coma, in order not to disturb her rest, we did not go to see her.
Not bad, twenty minutes later, we arrived at the police station!
At this time the police station in and out of a lot of vehicles, everyone also lowered their heads to look at the documents back and forth shuttling busy, we entered the door, directly call Song Song's phone, told him we have arrived.
Song Song said he now has a case in hand in the meeting, have to wait for a period of time to go out, let us wait here first.
So after nearly half an hour, he was holding a big round belly out, out of no nonsense, directly let us go with him!
He gave me a feeling of majesty, a bit like the old police style! Just and square, may be that I take the back door, although he took the case, but did not want to please my meaning, and even a little disdain, this kind of person I still like!
To the office building, the fifth floor of his office, he asked us to fall seat, after sitting down, he did not like other police as straight to the point, but to us about the three chapters ……
He said: "This case, originally I took over, should also go to detect, but now not I do not want to detect but you let not detect, the scene have seen the murderer did not leave any clues, I also said the only way is to find clues from the body of the deceased, but you do not let the autopsy, that can not be helped but to listen to your command! "
Said here, he spread his hands, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yanlu.
Chen Yanlu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't know how to smoke, before Song Song stuffed that cigarette into her mouth.
Lighting it, he took a hard drag and added, "It's right that you guys have once again found me to help today, and it's also true that I should go, after all, it's my duty, but I really don't understand when this matter was made known by the higher-ups? But you guys should know it well!"
Speaking here, he stopped talking and smoked a cigarette to himself.
Only left me and the morning research dew still recall in his words, his words we are not stupid of course understand the hidden meaning.
Obviously, he is again implying that we look for relations to help make him very unhappy.
At the same time also told us, looking for relations this set for other people may be good, but for him no use at all, don't want to let us get any special treatment in him!
Thinking about this meaning, I suddenly feel that he is really interesting, this matter if put on other police officers, it is not allowed to have already changed the flavor.
But he still dared to use this kind of tone of voice to talk to us, for a while I had a strong interest in this Song Song.
He didn't say anything, and we didn't say anything either, after all, today's atmosphere was a bit awkward, explaining would be better than keeping silent.
This kind of mood lasted for about ten minutes before he first did not have the patience to take the initiative to open his mouth: ''I don't have any other meaning, I'm just telling you guys that what should be done, I will do it, and what shouldn't be done, I won't do it? It's useless to force it, got it?"
Chen Yanlu and I had to nod our heads, I really didn't think that looking for help could even make it so awkward.
If there is a crack in the ground at this time, I will definitely not hesitate …… to stuff Chen Yanlu in. This is something I never thought of before.
However, this Song Song does not seem to be so rigid, seeing that we took the initiative to compromise, the taut face immediately smiled.
He laughed and said, "You two should not be pressured, this is just my principle of being a human being, teaching you as a person who has been there before, a lot of things are not to be contaminated by this bad habit of relying on relationships, and you're still young even more so!"
I and the morning research Lu looked at each other immediately stood up and bowed at him, deeply expressed that he was wrong.
He smiled broadly, waved his hand, signaling us to sit down, then said, "Young people have this kind of realization is good, well I also do not talk nonsense with you, you have something to look for me, straight to it!"
I'm not the kind of person who is pretentious, since the box has been opened, there is no longer hidden, I said: "Officer Song, I'm not hiding, we are looking for you this time, is to ask you to contact the traffic police brigade, we would like to retrieve some of the CCTV footage!"
Afraid that he will misunderstand that we are relying on relations, I also did not forget to explain: "Song police officer this is not considered to be relying on relations ah, first of all, we have nothing to do, and secondly, your duty is to help the victim to solve the case, and now need to solve some of the surveillance camera is also considered to be within the scope of your duties!"
Song Song heard me say this, immediately laughed out loud, pointing at me: "You this girl articulation is clever, also, also, this is not relying on relations, say where you need to monitor."
Morning Research Lu spoke at this time, "We need the information from all the surveillance cameras of the north to west section of Zhongyuan Road in Zhenghua District from six o'clock in the evening of April 6 to four o'clock in the morning of April 7."
Song Song heard this, originally smiling face all of a sudden tensed up, very unattractive, for a while before cautiously asking Chen Yanlu: "What do you want so many surveillance cameras?"
Chen Ranlu said, "I'm not hiding from you, we met with the murderer in the early morning of April 6, the murderer is in that road to the alley between the old buildings escaped!"
"Oh?" Song Song lightly eeped and immediately wondered, "Where did you meet up with the murderer, was it a home or somewhere else?"
Chen Yanlu said that she met him in an alley.
"In an alley?" Song Song first froze when he heard this, and then immediately laughed, as if he had heard some funny joke.
He patted Chen Yanlu's shoulder and said, "Young man, I can understand your eagerness to find the murderer, but you can't be overwhelmed by impulse, you said you met the murderer in a deserted alley? Where's the evidence? Without evidence, how can you conclude that he is the murderer? Even if, that person is a murderer, but without enough evidence, it can't be convicted ah, he is still a legal citizen."
Hearing this I was anxious, I knew Song Song's words were not unreasonable.
It was really Chen Yanlu's description that was problematic, not to mention Song Song, a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, even I also found a lot of things in his words that didn't make sense!
However, while blaming Chen Yanlu for not being able to speak, I was also torn.
What exactly should I say to convince Song Song? First of all, I knew that with Song Song's character, he definitely didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.
If I said that Mao Beiqiu had discovered it with Taoist magic, not only would it not cause him to pay attention to it, but it would make him laugh his ass off.
So saying this will definitely not work, I have to think of a way to do it.
I turned my head to look at the side of the morning research dew, found that he was Song Song's words blocked do not know what to say, there are several times are mouth moved, but then want to say.
Song Song has been staring at him wanting him to give a reasonable explanation.
Seeing this, I hurriedly interjected, "The reason why we suspect that this person has a problem, that also has a basis, I won't hide it from you, every time we go home we can see him sneaking around in front of our house, and at night it is even more daring."
"That man also showed up the day my father died tragically! That's why I suspect it has something to do with that man!"
Although my words were made up, I had already given a clue, the front was different, but the result was the same, so I didn't believe Song Song wouldn't take the bait.
When Song Song heard this, he really became interested and quickly asked me, "Oh? What does that person look like have you seen him or not!"
I said, "I have not seen what he looks like, because every time I see him, he has run away, leaving only a back, and he wears head-to-toe black clothes, with a hat, if it is not the night of April 6, the day after my father's death, we are in the house of the wake, in the early morning hours found that the man sneakily appeared, I'm afraid that to this day, I will not suspect him! I wouldn't have suspected him!"
"Oh?" Song Song lightly eeked out, and then sigh, said: "Then you can not give me a description of the scene at that time, I can help you to analyze the analysis of this person there is no suspicious place, at the same time also good to judge where to monitor the best, although the traffic police brigade will be our public security departments to solve the case to provide some video information, but after all, is not the same department, so it is still to look for the best of the relevant! "
I nodded, but did not say straight, but looked to the morning research dew, morning research dew eyes will understand, immediately put the scene of that day to make up, he said: "Things are like this!"
In the mouth of Chen Yanlu, Song Song learned that, on the night of April 6, that is, the second day of his father's death, our local rules are to be the late generation in the first seven days of the dead elders every night to keep the spirit of the spirit of the deceased, and we are not an exception, has been guarded until eleven o'clock, because during the period of the two people are very bored, so they looked for a set of chess to play up.
During the first two games everything was normal, nothing happened, but during the third game, there was a sudden knock at the door. The knocking sound was so soft that if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it at all.
At that time, I heard this sound, and then asked him if he had heard the knocking sound outside, he did not hear at first, until later listened carefully, only to determine that there is someone outside.
In the two of us because of the knocking sound and a time at a loss for words, only to hear the door outside a "click" sound, the door slowly opened. A person's head poked in.
The two of us at once obediently hide behind the sofa, carefully staring at the person, the person's head to explore in, we only see his head wrapped very tight only exposed two eyes, blink of an eye is very weird, the person looked at the house seems to be found no one, only from the door walked in greatly.
When her whole body appeared in front of our eyes, we dared to conclude that he was the mysterious man who often hangs around our house.
At first I took him for a thief, but gradually realized that something wasn't quite right, because he didn't rummage through boxes and cupboards looking for things like other thieves, but went straight to my father's coffin.
His so bizarre behavior made then I and morning research dew loud gasp also dare not, just so stunned to look at that person, that person also has been very cautious.
When he came to his father's coffin, he also looked around, I'm afraid he was afraid to wake us up, until he thoroughly found no one carefully pushed the lid of his father's coffin open, and then took a puppet from his arms, like a thing, on his father's body danced around.
At that time, I couldn't resist, thought he was going to harm my father then yelled and rushed out, that mysterious person was my sudden burst of huh, directly froze.
Then morning research Lu also followed me rushed over, that mystery man may know that two feet can not beat four hands.
Decided to turn their heads and run, I and Chen Ranlu directly followed the chase out, three people along the Central Plains Road has been running from the north to the west section.
And so ran to the west section of the old building area near a few alleys, the man drilled in, in order to be able to block him to prevent him from escaping, the two of us divided into two ways intend to intercept him, but who knows that the mysterious person is too flexible, and so we cut him off when he rounded a very smelly alley directly towards the woods there and went.
That forest in the past is a mass grave, the residents of the neighborhood often say that the night to hear crying, haunted that, this will not say much, affecting the social harmony, in the end is because I am afraid, do not dare to go, so the morning research dew did not go to catch up, but also from there to completely lost ……
I was stunned to look at the morning research dew to finish the lie, directly froze.
I believe that anyone will be surprised, others may not know, but I and he spent time together but very clear, Chen Yanlu although usually smooth-talking, a little uneducated, but his inner I am very clear, completely belongs to the kind of more conservative people.
But today I found I was wrong, he even has this side.
He is not only telling lies in a set way, but also not red in the face and not jumping in the heart? This and my heart and good man gap is too big!
And when he lied, such a weird thought came up in my heart, will he lie to me? Will he have another woman outside? Were the sweet words he used to say to me all coaxing me?
It's not my fault, women are naturally sensitive creatures, let alone him.
But there was no more time for me to doubt him, his lies surprisingly worked, Song Song listened attentively from start to finish.
When he finished his words, Song Song directly froze, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses and said with a slight reproach.
"Such a big thing, why didn't you explain it at the beginning when you called the police? Until now, if I don't ask you guys, such an important clue will be broken, you guys still don't know which is more important? Not that I'm talking about you guys!"
His words were filled with regret, but at the moment time was money. He also understood very well that there could be no more delays, so he said with a slap of his legs, "Alright! As long as that person runs underneath the surveillance camera, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will be able to find him!"
Finished, he picked up the office above the phone dialed a number, played a few official voice, began to go straight to the point: "Li ah, my brother here is a case out of a little situation, you need to help the traffic police side to cooperate with a little bit, the truth is not to hide, I would like to transfer the surveillance camera …… "
The person on the other end of the phone had a very small voice, so I couldn't hear what he was saying, but at this time I really didn't have the heart to listen to what the person was saying, and instead glared at Chen Ranlu, while still pinching him a few times.
Chen Yanlu was stunned by my sudden change, and asked me what was wrong.
I couldn't help but glare at him again and complained in a hateful whisper, ''What's wrong? You still ask me what's wrong? Look at the good thing you do, I ask you, that nonsense who taught you, made up quite slippery, this is good, if the security camera did not you say that scene, see how you do!"
Yes, I was a bit angry, it wasn't just that he told a lie, but also partly because he didn't even think of the consequences when he lied.
With Song Song's character, if the two of us were to lie to him, we would definitely have no good fruit to eat, and I really couldn't figure out what Chen Yanlu was thinking at that time? She dared to use this method to cheat the surveillance. This can really add big trouble!
Who knew that I was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and he still spread his hands like nothing, saying, "It doesn't matter! If not, he will not be willing to give us to get the monitor, now our biggest credentials is the monitor, do not you want to uncle's death earlier to ask for a statement? If you have to put a lid on it, it's a good lie!"
He said so, say is not my inner thoughts that is false, can say that I now more than anyone else want to find the real culprit behind the scenes, so as to give my father's death to draw a satisfactory conclusion.
But at present in front of me is, as the morning research Lu said, now the only hope is to monitor, Mao Biqiu also has done his best? If you are concerned about this and that, the cause of my father's death will have to wait until the end of the year?
Although so, but I did not let go, if I give me another chance I still say that, still do not approve of the Chen Ranlu tell lies, see his a look I am not right, I can not help but pinch him again, warned that: "the next time, if the future again let me know that you tell lies, you will die a very bad death!"
Chen Yanlu heatedly laughed and cupped his fists, "By order, I will follow Your Highness's teachings!"
I couldn't help but pinch him again with that bitchy look of his.
While the two of us were messing around here, Song Song got almost done with his phone call.
Because just now I and Chen Yanlu are close to the very small voice, and Song Song holding the phone has been in the office walking around, so he not only did not hear what we said, and even did not see me just pinch Chen Yanlu action!
See Song Song hung up the phone and walked over, our movements only converged, a serious look at him, Chen Yanlu explored the head, and then pointed to the phone, asked: "Song police officer just you call? What did they say? This monitoring people can give?"
Song Song said with no pressure at all, "This is not a joke, how can it not be given? I told you that there are several reasons, this public our police every year for their traffic police to catch hit-and-run drivers how much? How many hit-and-run drivers do we catch for them every year? What a good image we have created for them. Is it appropriate for them not to provide us with what we need to solve cases? This in private, I and their traffic police brigade have some interactions, just a monitor and not a big deal, how can not give it? Young man you can rest assured!"
Morning research Lu Ming Ming nodded, smiling, thumbs up, said: "Officer Song really is the standard-bearer in the police ah! So when are we going to adjust the video?"
"We?" Song Song was puzzled, then said, "You might have misunderstood, I just called the traffic police brigade to tell them that I want to watch it, got it? It didn't count you guys, all you two need to do is to wait for my good news at home, don't do anything else, got it?"
Hearing this, I'm a bit impatient again, we have to know that the two of us wasted so much effort to find him is to want to monitor the information, he is now telling us no? Anyone would be anxious, if he encountered a bad temper may be directly flipped!
I stood up all of a sudden, this is going to speak, but who knows Chen Yanlu seems to have known that I want to stand up as if, first I took a step, I just stood up and he pressed me underneath, and then said "What's wrong with this?"
I didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Song Song with some dissatisfaction, Chen Yanlu was once again one step ahead of me!
