    Chapter 24 Julien

    "It's weird. I've looked for several toilets, but no one saw when she left... Hey, boss, what's the matter?"

    "Adjust the surveillance, go find it." Before Luo Wenzhou's thoughts could be sorted out, an instinctive coolness climbed up the back of his spine, "Hurry up!"

    Lang Qiao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and ran.

    The surveillance was quickly called up, and it could be clearly seen inside. Not long after Fei Du stood up and left, Mother He answered the phone. don't know what the phone call said. In a few words, she turned her into a human stone. The call lasted about two minutes. Then Mother He was stunned for a while, then stood up and patrolled the place for a while, one after another in the direction of Fei Du's departure. looked around a few times, but didn't see anyone.

    She lowered her head in disappointment, and then quietly left the city bureau as if she had made up her mind.

    Surveillance cameras were photographed all the way to the entrance of the city bureau. Mother He did not hesitate in her footsteps. She quickly crossed the road. When she passed an intersection, she turned a corner and lost her trace.

    Without Luo Wenzhou's orders, Lang Qiao had already led someone to chase out the intersection where Mother He turned, and split up to find them.

    "I just went to ask Xiao Haiyang," Tao Ran walked over quickly and said, "After the branch received someone from the train station, they immediately followed Wang Hongliang's instructions and sent them directly to us. It's impossible to be very familiar with Yancheng, but the surveillance at the door shows that after she left the door, she didn't even look left or right, and she directly crossed the road and turned, I think there must be someone waiting for her there."

    Luo Wenzhou: "Call out the surveillance cameras at the nearby intersections, and check the vehicles and pedestrians passing by during this period one by one."

    "Enough, these days, odd and even numbers are restricted," Tao Ran sighed, "Vehicles with limited numbers can only leave from 0:00 to 3:00. Many people are forced to drive at night due to various reasons, and the roads don't stop as usual. I'm afraid we need to investigate. For a long time, it's fine, just in case..."

    Luo Wenzhou turned around several times without saying a word. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and his memory finally caught up with his legs—Luo Wenzhou finally remembered where the intense unease in his heart just now came from.

    "...Let him believe that you and those people are on the same page."

    "It's easy for him to be full of despair and think there's no such thing as 'justice' in this world."

    "That's it, it realizes the dual control of a person's spirit and physiology."

    How can the person who called Mother He persuade a timid woman to walk out of the city bureau in the middle of the night?

    Does she think that person is more trustworthy than the city police detective?

    Or...she doesn't trust the police at all?

    She also thought that there was no so-called "justice" in this world, so she left disappointed and used her own way to find the "justice" she wanted?

    He suddenly turned his head to look at Fei Du.

    Fei Du lowered his head, his long hair hung down to cover his face, the black shirt made his exposed skin extremely pale, like a vampire who had never seen light before, for a moment, Luo Wenzhou thought: "Why does he understand so well? those people?"

    When he is not mixed with those rich second-generations who have nothing to do with each other, when he is alone, what is he thinking about?

    At this moment, Fei Du suddenly opened his mouth. He seemed to be talking to himself, "I actually didn't hear it."

    Luo Wenzhou: "What?"

    "I asked her 'what's your plan after catching the murderer', she didn't answer, she just told me to go home early—"

    She also said: "As a mother, if you have nothing else to do, you can look forward to it every day, and you will be left."

    That woman, who has almost no ability to work, is a sick and dismembered waste. Is there only such a son to look forward to in her life?

    Now that her son is gone, what will she do for the rest of her life—what else can she do?

    Fei Du made a self-deprecating twist along his browbones from both sides to the middle, tilted his head, the corners of his mouth twitched up quickly, a half sour smirk, and he spoke to himself in a barely audible way. I said it again: "I actually... I didn't even hear what she meant."

    Tao Ran keenly felt that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

    Fei Du glanced at him, and asked nonchalantly, "It's alright, why are you asking that?"

    Tao Ran said: "When a case occurs, our eyes are generally focused on the deceased and the suspect, and we do often ignore the victim's family, especially when we are busy. where."

    Fei Du nodded calmly: "Well, that's right."

    "Does she still think that Zhang Donglai killed the person, and our favoritism chief's nephew let him go?" Tao Ran asked, "Then will she go to Zhang Donglai? Do I need to call the Zhang family?"

    "Call to remind Zhang Donglai to pay attention, but I don't think it should be." Luo Wenzhou pressed the sun with one hand, and pressed it, and somehow touched the bruise on his forehead, he took a breath, "She went to Zhang Donglai to help her. What's the use? Killing Zhang Dong to pay for her life? Even if Zhang Dong came to stand and let her stab her, she might not have the strength to stab her in. Most likely, someone will call the police and send her back to us again. This is useless, you Thinking about it from the murderer's point of view, he wouldn't go to bed at midnight, so he couldn't just take He Zhongyi for a fucking walk around the streets."

    At this moment, Fei Du, who was quiet beside him, grabbed a signature pen.

    "If the person who took her is the murderer," Fei Du quickly wrote the "5.20" date on the paper, "then first of all, did the murderer kill He Zhongyi on a temporary or long-term plan?"

    After he finished speaking, he answered by himself without waiting for others to answer: "I tend to think that he was a 'temporary intention' - because on the night He Zhongyi was killed, he was still inquiring about the specific location of the 'Chengguang Mansion'."

    Luo Wenzhou asked, "How do you know?"

    "I once met He Zhongyi at the beverage store he delivered, and I happened to hear it. Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, but I thought it was a detail that could be ignored at the time."

    Luo Wenzhou didn't pursue it, but nodded: "It makes sense. If the murderer had wanted to kill He Zhongyi this night, he wouldn't have given the address clearly."

    Tao Ran didn't know why the two of them were talking about this in one word. It was a little inexplicable. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Luo Wenzhou wave at him: "Do a simple suspect analysis."

    "The surveillance records show that He Zhongyi took a call, then left the Chengguang mansion and rushed to Wenchang Road. It seemed that someone had made an appointment with him. At this time, the murderer should have known that he was outside the mansion, and they would say on the phone. what?"

    Fei Du closed his eyes slightly and tapped the table lightly with the pen: "I wasn't seen, I wasn't caught on surveillance cameras, I just wanted to say a few words to you—"

    "For some reason, the murderer decided to kill He Zhongyi." Luo Wenzhou said, "According to the reasoning just now, since he had an impromptu intention, it is unlikely that the murder weapon was ready - the biggest possibility is that Zhang Donglai The 250-year-old took off his tie and threw it somewhere, just happened to be seen by the murderer who wanted to kill, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a very brilliant idea. Then the second question, why did he ask the deceased to date Here—Wenchang Road?”

    Tao Ran thought for a while: "If the murderer is Zhao Haochang, Wenchang Road is his workplace, and the familiar environment is a good place to start."

    "He should be familiar with more than Wenchang Road. If it's just for security, wouldn't it be better near his house?" Luo Wenzhou slowly raised his arms and met Fei Du's eyes. He found that Fei Du's eyes were very cold. It was as cold as a pair of inorganic substances. He didn't look away. He looked directly at Fei Du and asked, "What's your opinion?"

    "I dug a pit and put a scapegoat in the pit, and now of course I have to choose myself out—" Fei Du said, "for an alibi."

    Tao Ran is neither the captain of China who is getting more and more aggressive, nor is he a young man who can go out at night. In the second half of the night, he is already very sleepy physically, and his mind is filled with a lot of information. "Slow down, how does this alibi count? We clearly found from the surveillance that He Zhongyi went to Wenchang Road..."

    Luo Wenzhou lit a cigarette, first turned his back and took two deep breaths, then stretched his arms to let the smoke drift out of the door as much as possible, and said in a vague voice: "Tao Ran, have you forgotten, the surveillance we found was 'accidental'."

    Tao Ran was shocked.

    By the way, He Zhongyi carefully avoided the surveillance that night, but unexpectedly underestimated the fear of death of the rich people. In addition to the surveillance in the bright place, there were several hidden cameras on the path outside the Chengguang Mansion.

    The one that captured him was one of the cameras disguised as a bird's nest tree house.

    Neither he nor the murderer knew about this silhouette that was recorded forever, and it was just following the unexpected scene that the police found the public station, and even tracked He Zhongyi's whereabouts.

    There are too many kinds of surveillance in the East District of Huashi, public, public, shops, private... and so on. If you don't know in advance when a person takes that road, it is unrealistic to check one by one. .

    "He can choose a partner and make any excuses, such as 'drinking alcohol', take someone else's car back to the company, and at the same time, deliberately find something to call one or several subordinates to work overtime - this is common in law firms , no one will think something is wrong. As a second-level partner, he has an independent office, he can quietly leave when others are busy, kill He Zhongyi with a scapegoat tie, hide the body, and then return to the office, pretending to be It looks like a toilet." Fei Du drew a complete circle on the paper, "In this way, he will get a complete proof, 'Go back to the company with someone, and then work overtime in the company all the time', if it wasn't for your coincidences If He Zhongyi is tracked, then the murderer's alibi is almost invulnerable."

    "He Zhongyi's body appeared in the western district of the flower market, and the first suspect Zhang Donglai was in the eastern district of the flower market that day." Luo Wenzhou immediately understood what he meant. "The murderer threw out the killer tie, and for his 'impeccable' alibi, the next In the first step, he should want to get rid of He Zhongyi, who may reveal his identity, and at the same time continue to give us the concept of 'this murder happened in the flower district' - so this murderer is likely to take He Zhongyi's identity. Zhongyi brought him to the flower district!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Ran had already started to contact the police officers who were searching for He's mother outside: "All departments pay attention, the follow-up search will mainly focus on the flower district - Fei Du, the west district or the east district?"

    Fei Du pondered for a moment: "East District."

    Luo Wenzhou raised his eyes, "Why?"

    "This will have more visual impact, and will force you to re-arrest Zhang Donglai, and..." Fei Du said softly, "My intuition."

    Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran stood up at the same time.

    Fei Du quietly raised his eyes: "Can I go together?"

    Luo Wenzhou hesitated for a moment: "Let's go."
