Chapter 53 Humbert Humbert Twenty

"The old site of the chess and card room has been covered and covered, and it has already been turned into a commercial building. If the body is really hidden there, it is impossible to turn it over after leveling the ground several times when building the building. As for the rest, it takes too much time. It's been a long time, the files will not be complete, and I won't be able to check anything else in a short time." Lang Qiao glanced at Su Luozhan with his hands on his cheeks through the surveillance camera, and he felt a chill again, "And this little neurotic said. Is it credible or not?"

"Only for reference, I think this child has a showman's personality." Luo Wenzhou stared at the monitor without blinking, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "But the modus operandi is basically clear—the adult and the girl cooperated to commit the crime, First, follow the target person, and then the adult will show up under appropriate circumstances, do something to make the victim afraid, and the girl will show up again, gain the victim's trust in this kind of circumstance, and then start to deceive the victim after one or two contacts. ."

"The day I moved, Chenchen was indeed followed," Tao Ran thought for a while, and said, "If the stalker Fei Du noticed at the time was the co-perpetrator..."

"Assume he is Suspect A," Luo Wenzhou took out an A4 piece of paper and drew a circle around the letters, "Then let's assume that in the case of Xiling's abduction of Qu Tong, the adult men who drove the car were B—A and Whether B is the same person, we're not sure yet, but I personally prefer not."

Lang Qiao asked, "Why?"

"Frequency of crimes," Luo Wenzhou tapped on the table with his pen cap, "if Suspect A has been following Chenchen since the day Tao Ran moved house, until last night, nearly a month has passed, regardless of whether this A has Even if he could, even if he could, a person who had the patience to follow the victim for a month and committed two cases in a row within five days would be too dense. "

"Then there is the third person in this case, Xu Wenchao. On the night of the Qu Tong case, he had a definite alibi, so we know that he is definitely not B, so what role did he play in it?" Luo Wenzhou wrote. One word "Xu", another "Su" was written, and a line was drawn between the two words, "After Su Luozhan fainted Chenchen, he was tied to the old house of the Su family, and he went home without anyone else. , she is not afraid that Chenchen wakes up and runs away, nor is she afraid that she will make some noise and be heard..."

"Because she knew that her accomplice would go to the Su family's old house to take over!"

"But this accomplice didn't go until Su Luozhan was alerted by Teacher's phone call from the Children's Palace, and ran to the Su family's old house in person to check whether Chenchen was taken away. Then she called Xu Wenchao twice." Luo Wenzhou took Xu Wenchao and Su The line between Luozhan is thickened, dragged down, and divided into two forks, "Zhang Yuchen was terrified that night, we will not refer to her testimony for the time being, and only judge from the above information, there are two reasons for this matter. A possibility xing—”

"First, Xu Wenchao is Suspect A who is following Chenchen and intends to abduct her." Luo Wenzhou paused, "Second, Xu Wenchao and Su Luozhan are 'agents'. Su Xiaolan has been ill for a long time, and some things are What Su Luozhan can't do on her own, she needs an adult."

When Xu Wenchao was summoned by the police for the first time, he was surprised, because he didn't know where he went wrong at all. He answered all the questions very carefully, preferring to make himself appear to be a little slow to respond - at this time, It's very likely that he didn't know about Su Luozhan throwing the recording at Qu Tong's house, and he didn't expect the police to link this case with the one from twenty years ago.

However, Tao Ran was shocked during the conversation with him. Xu Wenchao probably deduced what Su Luozhan did through this questioning. After the police started to follow him and received two phone calls from Su Luozhan, Prepare yourself to be arrested again, and be prepared to speak.

"What do you mean," Tao Ran lowered his voice involuntarily, "Xu Wenchao is just like what the girl said just now, he is a 'temporary cleaner'."

"Temporary cleaner...no...wouldn't that mean what I thought?" Lang Qiao turned his head sharply to look at Luo Wenzhou, "He's dealing with... what about Qu Tong? Is there really no hope?"

"Last night, Su Luozhan tied Chenchen to the Su family's old house. Xu Wenchao was supposed to take over, but Xu Wenchao was summoned by us to cooperate with the investigation, and it didn't work." Luo Wenzhou ignored her question and said without raising his eyelids. "And a lot of blood was found on the cloth strip in the music box in Su Luozhan's bedroom, but the forensic doctor did not detect a Lumino reaction matching this amount of blood in the Su family's old house, which means that the Su family's old house was probably just a temporary transit. Stop, the real crime scene isn't there."

Tao Ran: "Where would the real crime scene be?"

"Wait! No...you wait!" Lang Qiao hurriedly pulled out a sheet from a dozen documents, "Did you make a mistake? Xu Wenchao, this person went to college more than 20 years ago. A dying private middle school, he can afford photographic equipment when he grows up. Now, as a freelance photographer, he has a house, a car, and no loans. He's a real pervert, and he can buy what you want through some channels - can he cooperate with Su Luozhan to do such a crazy thing? He's not short of money, how can this benefit him? "

A word silenced several people.

Yes - a man who grew up in a middle-class or even richer family, with both parents, and grew up smoothly, why would he get involved with the Su family?

If it wasn't for Su Luozhan's "fun" imitation of Su Xiaolan's "signature" back then, throwing the recording at Qu Tong's house, and if he accidentally exposed himself twice, who would think there was something wrong with him?

"Captain Luo," at this moment, a detective came in, "the old man surnamed Guo who came first is looking for you."

Guo Heng was waiting outside the chaotic reception room. I don't know who looked at him pitifully. He moved a chair for him, facing the back door of the duty room. The policeman on duty went to help him out of nowhere, and the TV was not turned off. On the shabby screen, a local channel was covering the sensational Children's Palace rescue operation the night before.

Guo Heng stretched his neck, stared at the screen intently, his hunched back subconsciously straightened, and he assumed a posture of sitting upright. In strict places, they will be required to watch TV in this standard sitting position.

Twenty years in prison has turned the young and middle-aged man into an old man who can no longer relax on the sofa.

Luo Wenzhou called him softly, "Uncle Guo."

Guo Heng straightened his waist subconsciously, as if he was checking his sitting posture, and then came back to his senses, the corners of his eyes drooped down lonely, and the originally taut wrinkles appeared one after another.

Guo Heng sighed and said in a low voice, "I've delayed your work. I just... I've been a little worried when I saw so many people coming. Is it possible that I killed the wrong person when I killed Wu Guangchuan?"

Luo Wenzhou hesitated for a moment, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, lit them and handed one to Guo Heng: "Do you remember the girl you rescued back then?"

"Remember," Guo Heng nodded immediately, "She's quite thin, she looks a little older than Feifei, a pretty little girl, what's her name?"

Luo Wenzhou: "Su Xiaolan."

"That's right, that's it," Guo Heng cherished the cigarette to his mouth, took a big mouthful, swallowed it in his mouth, and was reluctant to spit it out - it may also be the fault of the prison, "Oh, so It's been many years, and I don't know what happened to the child. When I first came out, I wanted to go and see her. But later, I thought that everyone might be married and have children. Who wants to remember those bad things? Don't bother. Bar."

Guo Heng said, with a smile on his face that always seemed very worried and sad: "To tell you the truth, for the past 20 years, I have always felt that I have a clear conscience. , I didn't dare to do it, that girl might be dead, squatting for a few years and changing her life, it's worth thinking about it, isn't it?"

Luo Wenzhou's lips moved slightly, looking at Guo Heng's profile, he didn't know where to start.

Do you want to tell him, "You may have really killed the wrong person, is the girl you rescued the real murderer"?

Isn't this old man's pathetic half-life, upright sitting posture and reserved cigarettes all absurd jokes?

"Officer Luo," Guo Heng recalled again, and hurriedly asked, "You haven't told me yet, what happened to these people? Is Wu Guangchuan the murderer?"

"Uncle Guo, I would like to ask you to help me recall one thing first," Luo Wenzhou stretched out his hand to support the back of his chair, "Look at me and think about it, at that time—that was the day when the knife was used, what was it? How did you find Wu Guangchuan?"

Guo Heng was stunned, not understanding why he asked this question: "Isn't there a boy..."

"He called you. This man is a male student from Jinxiu Middle School, named Xu Wenchao. He investigated and followed Wu Guangchuan with you. I know all about this—you remember what Xu Wenchao said when he called you. ?"

Guo Heng held a cigarette butt in his mouth, frowned, and recalled for a long time: "It seems-it seems to say 'he took her away, in school', yes, that's it, it's very obscure, even a name No, I read it at the time, and my scalp exploded, so I quickly found a public phone and called him back."

Luo Wenzhou was slightly taken aback: "You called him back? Then what? You tell me the details."

"Then I asked about the situation and went to the school gate to find him," Guo Heng said. "The boy led me in the direction of Wu Guangchuan's house. Didn't I tell you everything after that?"

Luo Wenzhou narrowed his eyes slightly: "In other words, Xu Wenchao was waiting for your call. Where was he waiting?"

"Near the school," Guo Heng said, "Jinxiu's infrastructure is well done. There are newly built phone booths around. He usually contacts me like this."

Luo Wenzhou: "How long did it take you to rush over to find him?"

Guo Heng: "It's only five or six minutes."

"Xu Wenchao first sent a message to your pager, and then waited for your call. After the communication was clear, you spent five or six minutes rushing to find him near Jinxiu Middle School, and then you set off together, right? It’s been ten minutes, right?” Luo Wenzhou saw Guo Heng nod before continuing, “You two saw Wu Guangchuan, you asked Xu Wenchao to find someone, and followed him to Wu Guangchuan’s door, right? Where did you see Wu Guangchuan? How far is his home?"

"It's not too far, just turn a corner," Guo Heng calculated, "it's a little longer than fifty meters... less than a hundred meters."

"Wu Guangchuan took Su Xiaolan from the school and went back to his house. You both started near the school. How did you arrive near Wu Guangchuan in front of Wu Guangchuan after nearly ten minutes of delay?"

"That kid took me over the short cut." Guo Heng said, "Wu Guangchuan's grandson would definitely not dare to take the main road. He should have walked through the back door and had to go around a large residential area. We both came from that residential area. The one who walked directly through it was basically a straight line - at that time, the residential quarters had exterior walls, but they were not too high, and there were empty flower walls made of 'butterfly tiles' on them. I was behind the wall and just saw Wu Guangchuan pulling The girl, who was indeed young at the time, sent the boy away, and I went over the wall and followed."

Luo Wenzhou took out a small notebook from his pocket: "Can you give me a rough sketch of the positions just mentioned?"

Guo Heng hesitated for a while, and while he thought about it, he drew a rough picture for him: "What's the matter? Why are you asking this? What's going on?"

"I don't know yet," Luo Wenzhou said softly, "Uncle Guo, this matter may be a little unexpected after the investigation, can you accept it?"

Guo Heng slowly stood up with the back of the chair.

"We'll give you a replacement as soon as possible." Luo Wenzhou put down this sentence, strode away, tore off the rough picture drawn by Guo Heng and stuffed it with Tao Ran, who was waiting beside him, "Can you find out what kind of community this was back then? Now? Are you still there?"

Tao Ran looked at the paper upside down for a while: "Wu Guangchuan's home is long gone. When we suspected that this case was related to the case 20 years ago, a colleague had already investigated the crime scene. After moving away, a gymnasium was built in the place where Wu Guangchuan lived at the time, but this community seems to... I will go to the scene to see!"

Fei Du walked over slowly, and Luo Wenzhou didn't have to look back to know it was him—because the whole city of Yancheng was going crazy right now, and everyone who came and went was trotting or scurrying all the way, only the sound of his footsteps was as slow as ever. .

Fei Du wiped his lenses with the corners of his clothes, and put his glasses on the bridge of his nose again. His temperament suddenly changed, from a "deep and righteous" young man in situ to a bird with a crown— Anyway, if he went to see Su Luozhan with this virtue, he would definitely not be able to get a word out.

Fei Du lazily dragged his voice and said, "Do you know the 'Fuyuan Memorial Hall'?"

"The memorial hall of the 'Fuyuan' funeral home?" Luo Wenzhou was stunned. "Isn't it the place to store the ashes?"

"Su Xiaolan's ashes are there," Fei Du said. "Xu Wenchao helped him to restrain himself. It is said that some of her belongings were kept together with the urn during her lifetime. I recommend you to take a look with me. Maybe something useful."

Luo Wenzhou frowned thoughtfully: "What did Su Luozhan say?"

"How is it possible, that little girl is terribly cunning, she won't reveal such details - this is my guess." Fei Du said, "I was thinking just now, facing a group of cowardly and timid people. It is not easy for stalkers to shut up and keep their secrets. In addition to satisfying their expectations, at least they must keep their handle. The place where this handle is stored must be carefully stored. It is best to be like a safe in a bank. Surveillance, manned 24 hours a day. At the same time, it must be 'safe'. It can't be under its own name like a bank. Once it is controlled by the police, it will be easily turned out. If it was me, I would think that the ashes depository is a An ideal place.”

"Fuyuan's memorial hall is said to be very strictly managed. Only relatives who have gone through the deposit procedures at that time can be led in by the staff by swiping their cards. Visiting and mourning requires cardholders to make reservations. Unlike cemeteries, some cemeteries are now too loosely managed. , anyone can go in and shake it."

Luo Wenzhou: "..."

No one else's handle was found, but his own handle fell into the cemetery along with the little white flower.

"Nothing else," Fei Du spread his hands and smiled, "otherwise, since cao held Su Xiaolan's funeral, why didn't he buy her a cemetery? Xu Wenchao shouldn't be able to get the money, right? Will the team be the driver once?"

An hour later, Luo Wenzhou parked his car at the entrance of the funeral home on the outskirts of the city.

There were a few hearses sparsely parked around, with the back of the mountain, very quiet. The entire funeral home was shrouded in the shadow of the mountain.

Fei Bancan took a look with his head and pushed the door with one hand, only to find that the driver had not unlocked it. Fei Du knocked on the door lightly, reminding Luo Wenzhou, and then the person beside him suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "You yesterday? What do you mean by night?"
