Chapter 42 Humbert Humbert IX
"According to this inference," Lang Qiao said faintly with a pair of dark circles about the size of his eyes, "Either Wu Guangchuan climbed out of the morgue, or in that case, we identified the wrong person, and the real culprit is here. More than 20 years later, he came out and committed the crime again."
"A man has successfully committed six crimes, and the police didn't even catch a ghost, and even cooperated with him to find a scapegoat. Normal people are proud of being a pervert, not to mention a pervert, will he stop for so many years?" Luo Wenzhou said, " If he really misidentified the real murderer back then, the past twenty years would have been enough for him to kill a mass grave."
Lang Qiao turned his head: "Captain Luo, I'm terrified to hear what you said."
"I'm panicking to hear you speak." Luo Wenzhou turned the pen in a circle in his hand, "Anyway, I've already sent someone to Qu Tong's house to stay, and I'll check the person who threw the USB flash drive first."
"It's not me, I can find it out," Lang Qiao said, "I just asked, Qu Tong and his family live in an old community, and there are always people dragging the property for 30 months a month. It's basically 'my door' It's always open, and it was stolen last month. Think about it, someone can't catch anything from your house, let alone throw something away."
Tao Ran asked, "What about other clues?"
"U disks are the most common bargains, and hundreds of pages can be found on the Internet. They are very clean, and there are no fingerprints. The technology side is stepping up the analysis of the recording content, but the suspect has Obvious anti-reconnaissance awareness," Luo Wenzhou paused and shook his head, "I'm afraid the result will not be optimistic."
The possibility of clues is very small, and the possibility that the girl is still alive is also very small.
Seventy-two hours have passed, and the recording for the girl's parents is more like a smug "summary" - I'm still here, I'm still the winner, you can't catch me.
"Actually, there is another way of thinking," Tao Ran pondered for a while, and then added, "Who would pass by on the night of the crime? At that time, we checked the surveillance of several surrounding scenic spots, parks, and main roads. The person happened to drive by, it is difficult for him not to leave traces, but until today, we have not found any clues from this path, so is it possible that this person has been following Qu Tong-or his goal is There was a similar girl in that car, and it happened to be a kidnapping incident."
When Lang Qiao heard this, he already understood what he meant: "You mean, stalking and stalking don't happen overnight!"
The students went to the suburbs on the last day of the summer camp, but they had been working near the school in the city until now. If the mysterious kidnapper followed one of them, it would be much more difficult for him to hide in the city. It is very likely that the resident residents around will notice him!
Lang Qiao stood up immediately: "I'll make arrangements."
"I've arranged it," Luo Wenzhou waved at her, "You sit down first. When the crime scene was investigated that day and no suspicious person was found, I'll have people follow the whereabouts of the girls in their class. Once again. Eleven girls out of the eighteen students are all about the same age as Qu Tong, and six of them have similar physical characteristics. Even if the focus is on these six people, check where they go every day, and what People pass by, and there are hundreds of people involved. Through on-site measurements, we only know that this person wears shoes of size 42. There is too little information. It is impossible to be sure whether this person is male or female or young or old, unless he himself Behaving suspiciously, and as it stands, clearly not."
Lu Youliang listened next to him and couldn't help sighing, admitting that even if he was in charge of himself, he couldn't be more thorough, but sometimes, timing and luck are really indispensable.
"Back then, the kidnappers used to call the victim's home directly. Now that we know we can track it down, we have replaced it with a delivery that comes and goes without a trace. It really keeps pace with the times." Lang Qiao sighed, " Does this mean that the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot tall?"
Luo Wenzhou paused, then added, "I remember that the victim back then was never alive or dead, so why did you think Wu Guangchuan was a suspect in the serial kidnapping incident? It was because of the bloody children in his hands. clothes?"
"No, the case handling was not very standardized back then, but it wasn't that unstandardized either," said Bureau Lu. "Except for the few sets of clothes that were cut to pieces, the reason for identifying the suspect as Wu Guangchuan was mainly because of the seventh girl who was on her body. There is evidence of being invaded by xing, and after I woke up, I also identified Wu Guangchuan. What is the name of the child? It seems that the surname is Su, Su..."
"Su Xiaolan." Tao Ran said, "It was mentioned in my master's notebook that he was a student of the suspect Wu Guangchuan."
"Yes, it's this," Lu Bureau thought for a long time, and was really helpless, so he could only sigh, "Alas, it's been too long, my brain is not good because I'm old, and I can't remember a lot of things. You can change your gear."
Luo Wenzhou kicked the sightless Lang Qiao with his toes, and Lang Qiao responded, hurriedly responded, and ran to go through the formalities.
Bureau Lu personally called the name, and the files of the old case were quickly adjusted. The more detailed and objective records than Yang Lao's notes finally brushed off the dust of 20 years, and once again bào exposed in broad daylight.
"Yes, it should be this girl." Bureau Lu pulled out one of the photos.
Because the person involved is still alive and I'm afraid she doesn't want to be disturbed, Mr. Yang's private notes did not keep her photo.
The seventh victim, Su Xiaolan, was a very good-looking little girl with almond-core eyes and long, slender corners of her eyes. She wore a little make-up when taking pictures, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her cheeks were facing the camera, and she had a strange precocious temperament. .
"Su Xiaolan was a student at Jinxiu Middle School at the time, and was in the second year of junior high school when the crime happened."
Lang Qiao asked strangely, "Isn't it because the girl's family environment was very poor, and the parents didn't know that she lost it for a few days. How could she afford to be in the private sector at that time?"
"She is a dance student. The primary school dance team teacher likes her very much and directly recommends her to Jinxiu. All the talented students who were recruited by Jinxiu can have tuition and miscellaneous fees reduced. However, it is because of the difference in family environment and dance. The team has to train all the time. Su Xiaolan always misses class. Over time, she has always been out of tune with her peers in school and has no friends. Wu Guangchuan was her head teacher in the first year of junior high school. violated."
"That's weird," Tao Ran couldn't help but chat, "If Wu Guangchuan kidnapped and killed six girls, why did he just let this girl survive?"
"I was just working at that time, and the task force was all about running errands, and I didn't participate much," Bureau Lu recalled for a moment, "The murderer is already dead, and it's impossible to ask him about his motives again. It was the speculation of the seniors when they wrote their summaries afterwards. There are probably two reasons. First, Su Xiaolan and Wu Guangchuan had a close relationship. Many people around knew that once Su Xiaolan had an accident, the police would easily find him. In other words, Su Xiaolan was a high-risk target. At that time, a senior even put forward a theory that the other six girls were probably Su Xiaolan's substitutes."
"The second one is purely our conjecture - unlike other victims, Su Xiaolan's family is in a special situation, and the murderer can't torture Su Xiaolan's family by making a phone call. , what is the special meaning and purpose, then he has no way to get this kind of satisfaction from Su Xiaolan."
The whole process sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, there are witnesses and physical evidence, and the logic and psychological motivation also make sense. The only question is, since the murderer of the old case 20 years ago has returned to the west, who took Qu Tong?
Who would know the details of the iron pencil case and the little bell?
I'm afraid it's only the family members of the victims of Guo Fei's case...and the old detective who handled the case back then, including Lu Bureau.
When Lu Bureau met, several people in the small conference room were silent for a while.
On the contrary, Bureau Lu was relatively calm, took the initiative to break the silence, stood up and patted Luo Wenzhou on the shoulder: "You should take care of this matter. If there is any problem, report it to Lao Zeng. I will avoid suspicion for the time being, and I will talk about it in a while. Tian's whereabouts are clearly written, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to investigate the other cases, I will say hello for you in advance, so as not to look bad and they won't cooperate."
"You still have to ask the family members of the victims in the Lianhuashan case. It's also possible that the family members said something to whom." Luo Wenzhou dismissed the embarrassment lightly, "and Su Xiaolan, who spent the most time with Wu Guangchuan. Chang, you probably know something - let's divide the soldiers into three ways, Tao Ran, you continue to track the whereabouts of the eighteen children before the incident. Just in case, the boys should not be missed. Xiao Lang is responsible for leading people to investigate the Qu Tong family. Nearby, don’t miss the surveillance in the miscellaneous shops around, I will find a way for the rest.”
The rest are easy to offend people - whether it is to investigate the seniors in the system, or to search for the victims of the year.
Tao Ran wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Luo Wenzhou raising his hand: "Come on, don't talk nonsense, it's been more than 20 years, the evidence has been wiped out, the witnesses are gone, the hope of getting results is very slim, the investigation on your side is the only one. It is the most important thing, in case the child is still alive."
Speaking of this, Tao Ran didn't dare to delay any longer, so he and Lang Qiao left in tandem.
Lu Youliang tore open the package of a new box of cigarettes, pushed it from the table, and threw it to Luo Wenzhou: "Keep the glorious and arduous task for yourself, you have maintained your style well."
Luo Wenzhou: "If I go, I'll get a run at most. If the two of them can't be beaten directly—of course, if we can find out the result after the run, we'll have to borrow your old face.
"That group of old buddies back then, they walked, didn't, they had a beginning and an end all their lives, and most of them have retired, and now Lao Zhang has also been transferred." Lu Bureau said, inexplicably a little melancholy, "There is only one left. It's been a few years since I was alone with you monkey cubs."
"Isn't it good to retire?" Luo Wenzhou smiled at him, "I dream of retiring. I sleep until I wake up naturally, play wherever I want, get paid monthly, travel around the world with my wife every day, and take the subway when I go out. , those grandchildren have to give up their seats to me."
Lu Youliang was very intent on cultivating him. Although Luo Wenzhou was a little too young, fortunately, he was not about to retire immediately. In the remaining few years, if he pulled the seedlings and helped him grow, he might not be able to become a talent. , Lu Ju was angry, and then he remembered the rumor that Luo Gongzi was not in the elegant hall, and became more and more annoyed, pointed at Luo Wenzhou and said, "You don't even have a 'young companion', shut up, If you don't speak human words, get out of here for Lao Tzu."
Luo Wenzhou took a cigarette, picked up the old dossier, and prepared to roll away like a flow, but when he reached the door, Bureau Lu stopped him again.
"Do you have any general ideas about this case?"
Luo Wenzhou put one hand on the doorknob of the conference room, and paused: "There were two problems that were not resolved back then, first, where did the body of the missing girl go, and second, Wu Guangchuan's motive for calling the victim's house, I I talked to people about this case, and a friend said that it sounds like the murderer is not targeting children, but adults - this is really not like the general psychological characteristics of pedophiles... In addition, I always feel that although the two cases have Contact, but not necessarily by one person.”
"How to say?"
Luo Wenzhou: "Calling on the phone and going to the victim's house in person are two different things. One is to hide behind the scenes, and the other is to take the stage in person. The latter is much more risky and the prisoner is much more arrogant. Not only Lang Qiao said counter-reconnaissance."
The entire Yancheng is like a river. After decades of sewage treatment, the sediment at the bottom of the river can be seen at a glance. It seems clear and safe, but there are always rapids and undercurrents.
The chances of the missing girl Qu Tong surviving are getting slimmer and slimmer, and for her countless peers, this is just an ordinary summer vacation, filled with lackluster remedial classes and interest classes, accompanied by the sound of sick cicadas, Waiting for the sleepy green stage.
Chenchen was waiting for late parents near the public station at the back door of the Children's Palace with a portfolio on her back. She bored out and took out her tablet to play. Suddenly, a shadowy figure stood in front of her. Chenchen raised her head and saw an old blind man with a hunchback. Came near her and turned his face to her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chenchen felt a little uneasy for some reason, remembered what the big brother who invited her to eat puffs said that day, and quickly moved a few steps to the side carefully, approaching the nearby crowd waiting for her husband, and at the same time secretly paying attention to each other.
It just so happened that the public bus had entered the station, and the people who had just been in the crowded queue got on the bus one after another, and there was nothing near the stop sign, only she and the old "blind man" were left.
Suddenly, the old blind man tapped the ground and walked towards her. Chenchen's hair stood on end in an instant, turned around and ran into the Children's Palace, and accidentally bumped into someone at the corner, the other party said "oops", and the thing in his arms fell to the ground.
It was a girl who looked slightly older than her, wearing a floral dress and a pair of braids.
Chenchen quickly apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry."
The girl glanced at her, but was not angry. She squatted down to retrieve her book and asked, "What are you running for?"
Chenchen quickly helped: "there's a strange person over there, I'm a little scared."
The girl listened and glanced in the direction of her finger: "No, where is it?"
When Chenchen turned around, the public station was empty, and there was no one there.
The girl looked at Chenchen: "What grade are you in?"
"Sixth grade begins."
"Oh, then I'm one year older than you." The girl held the book in one hand and pulled Chenchen up with the other, "Are you afraid, or I'll wait with you for a while."
Can't ask for it in the morning.
"I'm taking a summer photography class here." The girl lowered her long eyelashes and smiled at Chenchen, "My name is Su Luozhan."
