Chapter 44 Humbert Humbert Eleven
Fei Du suddenly laughed, turned his head and blew a kiss at the monitor in the intensive care unit: "To scare you."
He bent down and took out a card from the small table next to him. This is a special service of high-priced private nursing homes. For the family members of patients who cannot communicate, it is difficult to express one-sidedly, so the nursing home is next to him. Pens and small cards were prepared so that the family members of the patients could write some words on the cards to express more tangible feelings.
Fei Du glanced at the man in the sick room with a slightly sarcastic look, and wrote without beginning, "I hope you can persist for a few more years."
Private sanatoriums are expensive, and he can support several doctors and nurses for the cost of lying here alone.
After all, some people spend their whole lives, and probably only spend a few years lying on the sick bed unconsciously, which can be regarded as bringing some benefits to the people around them.
The sun was scorching hot outside the window, and the central air conditioner in the intensive care unit was constant temperature throughout the year.
Fei Du's feeling of "I feel better when I see you are not feeling well", Fei Du seemed to have completed his annual ceremony and drove back to the city alone.
It takes more than four hours to go from the seaside nursing home to Yancheng even if there is no traffic jam. Fei Du made an appointment with Teacher Bai to go to her to pick up a book in the eveningâhe had officially ended his years-long regular consultation, but still I have maintained my friendship with Teacher Bai, and I still borrow some of the books she recommended from time to time.
If there is no accident, drive a long-distance car all day, visit a vegetative person, borrow a book about mental illness, take it home and watch it in the middle of the night, lie down and rest, this is all about his twenty-second birthday. arranged.
Fei Du usually goes wherever he is, but those who are familiar with him know that on his birthday, his mother's death anniversary, or when he meets a New Year's holiday, etc., he is usually missing and disconnected, even Zhang Donglai is so People who don't wink won't bother to interrupt at this time - anyway, they can't interrupt if they want to. Mr. Fei's usual 24-hour phone call will definitely not be able to get through.
The road back to Yancheng was not very good. The highway entering the city was jammed in a mess. It was an hour later than expected. Fei Du was somewhat tired, so he had to wait and listen to the car radio to refresh himself. Residents seek clues about the missing girl Qu Tong.
"...Especially in schools, the Children's Palace, and the vicinity of major summer training classes and summer camps, if you find suspicious people, please call the police immediately... In addition, I also remind parents and friends that it is summer vacation now, and you must pay attention to the safety of your children at home... "
"Why did I become a danger of swimming in the wild after listening to that program?" Luo Wenzhou rushed back to the city bureau just after get off work. He felt that three souls and seven souls were about to evaporate from the top of his head, so he unceremoniously poured out someone who didn't know. poured a pot of tea into his own cup and drank it.
It was too late for Lang Qiao, who rushed over, to stop him.
Lang Qiao wailed, "Boss, that's the slimming tea I just made..."
Luo Wenzhou moved for a while, then filled the remaining half of the pot without changing his faceâat this moment, as long as it was liquid, let alone diet tea, it was "Dichlorvos", and he could drink it. When he was done, he wiped his mouth: "What did you find out at Qu Tong's house? Did Xu Wenchao and Su Xiaolan find it?"
"I checked the monitoring of all the small shops near the community. There are more than 40 couriers, food delivery, milk delivery, real estate agencies, etc. from various companies in one day. Fortunately, I have work clothes on my body. We called them one by one. The company they work for has confirmed the identity of the employees and their whereabouts on the day of the incident. Four of them were suspicious, and they were brought back to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation." Lang Qiao said, "Besides, we have included all people who enter and leave the community during non-morning and evening rush hours. Listed, there are more than 80 in total, and they are being compared with the information of permanent residents registered by the neighborhood committee one by one."
Hearing that, Luo Wenzhou's head, which was about to explode due to overheating, grew twice in size.
Fortunately, the city bureau can mobilize a lot of police force, otherwise this will be investigated in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
Lang Qiao continued, "Xu Wenchao has been found, Tao Ran is talking to him inside, Su Xiaolan can't come, he's gone."
Luo Wenzhou asked casually, "Out of town? Or abroad?"
Lang Qiao: "No... It's not that it's not here, it's not on the earth - it's gone."
Luo Wenzhou paused in his footsteps: "How old are you?"
"After that incident, this person basically gave up her dancing, she didn't get out of the limelight, and her grades were not good. She reluctantly went to a vocational high school and dropped out in the middle of it. She was not a business student. She was young and beautiful. Rich man, unmarried before age 20
give birth
, has been living in a mess since then, fell ill, and died two months ago - this is her information. "
Lang Qiao handed him a thin file bag, and Luo Wenzhou took it and turned it over.
He finished it quickly, because her life was too short, and because she really had nothing to say in her life. It contained her expired address and contact information. She was punished for demerit twice in school, once for being drunk and causing trouble, for "provocation" A record of being detained for causing troubleâ and a death certificate.
Finally, there is a recent photo not long before her death, a woman in her thirties, who has been devastated by the years, her thin cheeks are tightly pressed against her cheekbones, her chin is sharp, and she actually gave birth to a decree She had stubborn makeup on her face, and she had to distinguish it carefully before she could see the traces of the little beauty in Girls' Generation on her face.
Luo Wenzhou and Lang Qiao stared at each other for a moment in the long corridorâthis was the end of the last... surviving girl.
"Captain Luo, do you know," Lang Qiao said, "sometimes seeing this kind of thing makes people feel that being alive is very ugly."
Luo Wenzhou patted Lang Qiao on the back of the head with a kraft paper bag: "You have so many thoughts all day long, write a book and forget about it, what kind of police officer? Now the primary goal is to find Qu TongâTell me, this Xu Wenchao is a what for?"
Xu Wenchao is a freelance photographer.
He is very tall, gentle and gentle, and can be regarded as a talented person. He was suddenly invited to the Public Security Bureau, and he was inevitably a little nervous.
Tao Ran poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "Nothing else, we want to trouble you to recall something."
Xu Wenchao lowered his head and pursed his lips, avoiding Tao Ran's gaze, and thanked him in a low voice.
Luo Wenzhou and Lang Qiao stood still in front of the surveillance cameras, and heard Tao Ran ask very gently, "Did you study at Jinxiu Middle School in junior high school?"
Xu Wenchao took a sip of warm water very elegantly: "Well."
"Do you remember a classmate named Su Xiaolan?"
Xu Wenchao's fingers trembled, and after being silent for a while, he said with some difficulty, "I remember."
Tao Ran asked, "Can you talk about her?"
There was no ambiguity in these words, but Xu Wenchao seemed to have not understood, and was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Tao Ran: "Tell me about Su Xiaolan."
Xu Wenchao's fingers on his knees clenched suddenly, pinching his knuckles hard: "Oh, I haven't been in contact for many years, she... She's a very cheerful girl..."
"Has long hair and likes to wear all kinds of floral dresses."
Whether it was Tao Ran or Luo Wenzhou before the surveillance, their faces became tense upon hearing this.
Xu Wenchao's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes turned around Tao Ran and the secretary a few times, and suddenly said, "You are looking for me because of the girl's case on the radio? I heard it on the way here."
"Then I won't go around in circles," Tao Ran said. "How much do you know about the case of Wu Guangchuan kidnapping, murdering and sexually assaulting girls at that time?"
Xu Wenchao pondered for a while: "Not too much, I was still young at the time, wouldn't this kind of thing make children inquire clearly?"
Tao Ran said: "But at that time, the victim's father said that he had found you. The reason why Su Xiaolan was rescued was because you informed him in time."
"Uh... It's more than 20 years ago, I can't remember it."
Tao Ran said patiently, "The father of one of the victims of the serial kidnapping case once went to Jinxiu Middle School to follow up and investigate some of your teachers, and accidentally saw you secretly following Wu Guangchuan, the male teacher, so he stepped forward to ask, the two of you suspected Wu Guangchuan. There was wrongdoing, and we investigated him together, remember?"
Xu Wenchao didn't speak again. This time, he was silent for a full minute before finally opening his mouth: "It seems to be there, but I can't remember."
Talking to this person is very difficult. The other party is not a prisoner. The police can't interrupt his long silence. They can only wait for him, like a mentally retarded patient, ask a question for half a year, and finally give an ambiguous answerââ It is basically a permutation and combination of "seems to be", "is it", "probably" and "I don't know".
Tao Ran interrogated him back and forth for more than an hour, and after drinking two bottles of mineral water, Xu Wenchao had been dutifully carrying a bit of melancholy from the sky, and he performed a question and three questions.
Lang Qiao said, "I really want to hit himâBoss, do you think he's suspicious?"
"Just a word of 'brocade skirt'?" Luo Wenzhou shook his head, "The middle school would be strictly controlled at that time, and the students would all wear uniform uniforms, and girls would either have a bare face ponytail, or they would have to cut their ears at the front and back, and only have some of their specialties. Born out of image requirements, the standard can be relaxed appropriately, there is only one special Su Xiaolan in the class, and it is normal for him to remember. But..."
Tao Ran asked Xu Wenchao: "But I think it's a bit strange. Wu Guangchuan's case was a sensation back then, so why can't you remember the one who participated in it personally?"
Xu Wenchao smiled gently: "When I was in junior high school, I had a serious illness, the fever couldn't go away, and I almost died. Although I was rescued later, it may have hurt my brain a little bit, so I won't be able to remember xing in the future. , the response is also a bit slow, sorry, police officer."
This explanation sounded reasonable, and Tao Ran could only nod helplessly: "Is Mr. Xu married?"
Xu Wenchao shook his head.
"Then where are you on the evening of the 27th of this month?"
This time, Xu Wenchao didn't hesitate, and quickly answered: "At home."
"alone?"
"Bachelor, of course alone."
"What are you doing at home?"
"Reading...a book about composition skills."
Tao Ran's eyes sharpened slightly: "Mr. Xu, in order to cooperate with the investigation, can we access your dash cam?"
"Okay, just stop outside," Xu Wenchao looked back at him calmly, "Do you have any other questions? Can I go? I have work tomorrow, so I have to go back and make some preparations."
Tao Ran's eyes turned to the surveillance cameras, and heard Luo Wenzhou say to him in his earphones: "Let him go, I've arranged it. From here, there will be people watching 24 hours a day."
Tao Ran stood up and shook hands with Xu Wenchao: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, I'll take you to the door."
It was only then that Xu Wenchao's body language relaxed slightly, and followed Tao Ran's gestures and walked out. At this moment, Tao Ran whispered in his ear as if chatting, "Private middle schools are very strict, I heard that the teacher They are all red-eyed to pursue the admission rate."
Xu Wenchao: "It's just to make you work harder. It's okay if you get used to it."
"I definitely don't have time to fall in love, talk to the girl one more word, the eight teachers are staring at it, and anyone who likes it has to hold back," Tao Ran pressed one hand on the door frame and looked at Xu Wenchao meaningfully, "Mr. Xu will like it. A girl? Su Xiaolan must have stood out in the class at the time, right?"
Xu Wenchao was caught off guard, his face changed suddenly, his hand hanging on his side nervously pulled his pants, and after a while, he smiled reluctantly: "Who didn't like beautiful girls when I was a child? It makes sense... Officer, please stop."
Tao Ran frowned slightlyâhe was planning to summon Su Xiaolan when he found out that this person was dead. So far, he has not mentioned this to Xu Wenchao.
So, did Xu Wenchao, who "haven't contacted her for many years", learned the bad news from his enthusiastic classmates, or...
After Xu Wenchao finished saying those words, he walked quickly without looking back.
At the same time, the police officers who were going to take turns to stare at Xu Wenchao arranged their shift time, and quietly followed out by taking advantage of the darkness of the night.
By the time Luo Wenzhou left the Municipal Bureau with hesitant steps, it was already past eight o'clock, and he didn't go home directlyâalthough Bureau Lu said to avoid suspicion, this time was different from Bureau Zhang's. Zhang Donglai was a close relative with important Suspicion, in comparison, Bureau Lu can only say that it has something to do with the old case, and they are not the main handler.
Being a leader is stressful, and subordinates are not too at ease, especially since he used the old man a lot of face for this trip. Luo Wenzhou planned to send a box of peaches brought back from Lianhua Mountain to Bureau Lu. By the way, he would use this to briefly report the progress to him.
He called Bureau Lu, but there was no proposal on the phone, only peaches.
Lu Youliang agreed and gave an address: "Your aunt and her colleagues got married and decided to go in the evening. They didn't tell me in advance. I went to my sister's house for a meal. Come here directly."
Luo Wenzhou opened his driving navigation and typed in the words "Beicheng Chenguang Road".
Fei Du flashed his headlights and saw that the sign read "1.5 kilometers from Chenguang intersection".
He breathed a sigh of relief. After driving for more than six hours this time, there were traffic jams everywhere, and there was no place to rest. His waist was so sore that he could barely feel it. It wasn't until now that the road conditions became a little smoother. Du raised the speed of the car to the maximum speed limit, thinking in his mind how to apologize to Teacher Bai.
However, just as he had just finished merging the line and was about to turn into the auxiliary road, a car suddenly rushed out in front of him. When the car arrived in front of him, instead of braking, it accelerated and slammed into him. At this time, he had to avoid it. It was too late, Fei Du stepped on the brakes with one footâ
Immediately after the car body shook violently, there was a loud noise in his ear, and the airbag pushed him onto the seat. Fei Du's eyes went black, his internal organs turned somersaults, and at the same time, there was a sharp pain in his left arm.
For a second or two, he was a little confused, then woken up by the shrill car horns and voices.
There was a passerby running over quickly, shouting and pulling his car door, and the turbid hot wind from the summer night came in.
For a moment, a thought slipped through his not very clear consciousness: "Retribution came so quickly."
Luo Wenzhou was still feeling that the road conditions were not bad when he encountered a traffic accident ahead, and the traffic stopped moving again.
He sighed heavily, and looked out like other drivers. When he looked up, he saw a large SUV that was much taller than other cars standing at the intersection.
Luo Wenzhouâs heart suddenly jumpedâthat car was the same model as the one Fei Du pulled to show off in front of Tao Ran?
