    Chapter 98 Verhovinsky (8)

    "The boy Feng Bin was at the crossroads near the Bell and Drum Tower. After waiting for about five minutes, Xia Xiaonan came over." In the small conference room of the Criminal Investigation Team, Lang Qiao opened a surveillance video collected near the crime scene in the Drum Tower District.

    "Just the two of them? What about the others?" Luo Wenzhou leaned in to look at the surveillance records. "Wait a minute, stop for me and see what Feng Bin is holding in his hand."

    Lang Qiao zoomed in on the video after pausing the video. Under the high-definition camera, even on a night without a light source, he could clearly see that Feng Bin was carrying a plastic bag with a supermarket logo, which contained some snacks and drinks.

    Everyone has experienced the youth stage, and they know what happened to the two of them at a glance - the boy finds an excuse to go ahead and wait for the girl at the agreed place, and the two of them can unknowingly leave the sight of other classmates , quietly alone for a while. These half-sized teenagers and young girls get together to talk about a love that they don't understand. They don't have as many "themes" as adults, and they often carry some childish habits, always accompanied by people who can't laugh or cry. Snacks and Western fast food.

    So that's why the two of them got separated from everyone else.

    "'BD' supermarket... I remember it seems to be a chain store. Go find out how many chain stores there are in the Gulou district and ask them one by one. Those other children are probably also nearby." Luo Wenzhou turned his head and gave a command, then strangely Said, "The two of them are in the middle of the night. Can they find a better place to have a puppy love? Why do they have to escape the ticket and go to the Bell and Drum Tower?"

    Lang Qiao rolled his eyes at him like a table tennis ball: "Boss, are you a local?"

    Luo Wenzhou was inexplicable.

    "There is a small scenic spot behind the Bell and Drum Tower, called the 'Qíng Human Mirror', which is actually a large polished stone. It is said that when a person stands in front of the Qíng Human Mirror, the image can be reflected back to the sky. It was from this mirror that the Seven Fairies saw it back then. When Dong Yong saw the clock, there was the words 'Heaven and Human Concentric' next to it, and when the couple stood in front of the mirror of the qíng people, it was equivalent to having received the testimony of the gods in the sky and could live forever."

    When Luo Wenzhou heard this rumored and dishonest travel promotion story, he immediately scoffed: "The Civil Affairs Bureau can't hold you any more, and the Jade Emperor has to give you another certificate. Why, can you buy an extra suite with seven certificates?"

    These shameless heterosexual relationships are really greedy enough.

    Lang Qiao: "..."

    She was really at a loss as to why she was such a pure and beautiful girl who didn't even have a boyfriend, and why would a man want something like Luo Wenzhou?

    Luo Wenzhou's voice changed: "The Bell and Drum Towers are a scenic spot, and they must be cleared after closing at night, so were they targeted when they sneaked into the scenic spot?"

    "No," Lang Qiao had no choice but to follow him down, "the murderer has been following them from the crossroads, you see—"

    She pressed play again, and the camera at the intersection quietly stretched out its sight, sending away the teenagers and girls who didn't even dare to hold hands.

    The quiet night was silent for a moment, and a man suddenly appeared in the camera.

    When Luo Wenzhou saw this man in the picture, he was slightly taken aback—because this murderer was completely different from the "old, weak, sick and disabled" who only dared to attack children in his imagination.

    This man was at least 1.75 meters tall, with a strong physique and no more than forty years old. He casually walked over from the street corner with a cigarette in his mouth, and he was decorated with Feng Bin and Xia Xiaonan not far or near.

    Luo Wenzhou: "Do you have a positive face?"

    "Yes, I have printed out all the pictures taken by other cameras." Lang Qiao distributed some printed screenshots to the surrounding colleagues.

    Luo Wenzhou just glanced at it and was sure that this person was the Lu Guosheng of the past. He had just read the wanted notice of the "327 National Road Case" carefully the night before, and was quite impressed by the face of the principal.

    Lu Guosheng has some "big eyes". When looking at people, his eyes are slightly squinted, his cheeks are thin, his chin is long, his facial features are quite deep, and the corner of his left mouth is a little crooked. The man in the screenshot is about thirty-eight, and there are indeed some traces of time on his face, but the outline of his facial features is still the same, with little change.

    It can be seen that in the past 15 years, Lu Guosheng, as a wanted criminal, has lived a good life, and he has not shown much old age.

    Before Luo Wenzhou had time to speak, Xiao Haiyang had already said with certainty, "That's right, it's Lu Guosheng!"

    This time, even Lang Qiao gave him a strange look.

    Luo Wenzhou nodded: "Well, Xiao Qiao, you go ahead."

    "The murderer followed Feng Bin and the others to the Bell and Drum Tower Scenic Spot. To escape the ticket and enter the scenic spot, he had to go through a side door and pass through a few narrow alleys in the middle. You have also seen that place. The murderer is the one who moved it - watch the following paragraph, I don't want to watch it a second time."

    Saying that, she called up another video and turned around.

    This surveillance video is from the top of Xieshan Mountain, which protects the ancient buildings of the Bell and Drum Tower. The camera is a little far away. At the small intersection at the edge of the camera, two teenagers suddenly ran out in a panic, holding hands peacefully.

    warm

    There was nothing left. As soon as the boy had blood on his back, the girl stumbled a bit and fell to the ground. Although there was no sound in the video, it suddenly tightened the heart.

    That night, the originally gentle moonlight suddenly had a layer of blood-colored burrs, and the youthful and green qíngsu was smashed by a sudden gangster. It was a turning point in the depths of a nightmare.

    Feng Binqiáng endured the fear and severe pain, and smashed the things in his hand at the human-shaped monster one by one, then pulled up the girl he loved and ran wild, panicking.

    They ran and screamed for help, but the scenic spots that had been cleared were sparsely populated. Maybe they were unlucky and no one heard them, or maybe some people patrolling and watching the venue heard the call for help, for fear of causing trouble, instead of coming, they avoided farther.

    The footsteps of the humanoid monsters were already behind him, and the empty streets called Tiantian not working, and the ground was not working.

    The bell and drum tower group, which is full of artificial làng, cast a cold, thousand-floor look. At this juncture, Feng Bin was in a panic, but he got lost in the intricate alleys. The two of them turned around and went back to the original place for some reason.

    Just happened to meet the murderer with a machete!

    At this moment, all the people in the conference room who were watching this backtrack broke into a cold sweat, and some people even jumped up and hit the corner of the table.

    Feng Bin took Xia Xiaonan and turned around and ran. He saw a duty booth not far away. The boy seemed to see the dawn, and ran over with all his might, slamming the window of the duty booth.

    Come on someone, anyone is fine, come and save them...

    But soon, his last hope also turned into despair - there was no one in the duty booth.

    At this moment, the gangsters were already chasing them, and the bloody knife was less than 50 meters away from them. Xia Xiaonan was already frightened, and Feng Bin panicked and chose the most wrong path.

    That alley where the accident happened is a dead end!

    What happened after they escaped into the alley, the surveillance couldn't capture it.

    About half an hour later, Lu Guosheng left the alley. He took off his coat and put it on his back, covering the blood stains, and walked very far.

    There was silence in the conference room for a while.

    Lang Qiao turned his back to the screen: "Have you read it yet?"

    Someone nearby murmured, "I was so scared that I almost vomited. This is a horror movie, right?"

    "That is to say, Lu Guosheng chased two children into a dead end, then killed one and kept one, why?" Luo Wenzhou was the first to speak to break the strange atmosphere, "We looked at the crime scene, only those two A trash can can hide people. At that time, the two children were terrified and made two fatal mistakes. Running into a dead end is one. When a girl is desperate, hiding in the trash is another. Think about it carefully, that kind of qíng Besides, if you were the murderer, wouldn't you lift the lid of the trash can to take a look?"

    Luo Wenzhou's eyes swept around the conference room: "If it wasn't for that girl being invisible, then there's something wrong with Lu Guosheng's brain—is Xia Xiaonan injured?"

    "No." Lang Qiao said, "I confirmed with the hospital just now that apart from the fall on her own, there is no other obvious trauma on her body, nor has she been attacked by xing. In addition, the smudge on her schoolbag is indeed blood. , DNA is being extracted and aligned, but the results have not yet come out.”

    Luo Wenzhou asked, "Is there a wallet, mobile phone and other valuables in Xia Xiaonan's bag?"

    Lang Qiao was taken aback: "No, you mean..."

    Tao Rancha said: "In the case of National Highway 327, Lu Guosheng was overwhelmed and plucked, and he would not even leave a steel rod behind for the victim."

    Lang Qiao frowned and wondered if she was too careless about her work. Otherwise, why would everyone be so familiar with the so-called "327 National Road Case", and she was the only one who knew all the details?

    "Also, when Feng Bin called for help along the way, where did the watchmen and patrollers in the scenic spot go?" Luo Wenzhou said, "It's really such a coincidence that everyone just happened to be not on duty, so it's better to negotiate to see if they will die. Contact the scenic spot and summon all the staff on duty that day."

    This is a case where the suspects and the modus operandi are so clear at a glance. It seems that there is only one thing left to do to arrest Lu Guosheng again. The foggy night at the Bell and Drum Tower.

    Luo Wenzhou lit a cigarette at the end of the corridor, and suddenly felt a sense of it, and glanced back at the busy criminal investigation team. The heavy sentence "some people have changed" in Lao Yang's suicide note stuck in his throat.

    Luo Wenzhou took out his mobile phone and called the city bureau's personnel department: "Hey, Director Li, I'm Xiao Luo from the criminal investigation team... Hey, no, it's not hard - what, the leader asked me to write a new colleague's report. Entry appraisal... Who knows what's wrong with Lao Lu? Could you please pass me the resume and political trial materials of the new kid from our criminal investigation team, thank you, thank you, I know, I will invite you to dinner some other day..."

    Due to the intervention of the Municipal Bureau, the rhythm of the investigation has entered the aerospace era from a ox-drawn cart.

    Before the evening of the same day, the little boys who had not been found for a week were arrested and brought back - the police found the BD supermarket where Feng Bin had bought things, and through the monitoring records of the supermarket, they found a few students who had run away. They have come here more than once to buy things, and it is inferred that they must have settled in the vicinity.

    After sweeping the area of ​​the supermarket, after a little investigation, he was brought back from an express hotel - one of the students did not know whether it was chasing stars or something, and met the lobby manager of this express hotel on the Internet. walked through the back door and moved in without registering.

    In the reception room, the four students slumped against the wall and stood in a row. In front of the head teacher and the police, they asked why they had to leave. They said that the school was under too much pressure, and Christmas was coming, so they all went out to relax.

    The anxious parents listened to these bastard reasons and became furious.

    At the same time, the staff in the Bell and Drum Tower Scenic Spot were questioned in turn, and they were also found to be tricky. It turns out that the problem of the security department of the scenic spot from the person in charge to the inspector has a long history. All of them are negligent in their duties. Gathering people to gamble during the night shift has become a routine. This time something really happened, and it was revealed.

    So far, except that the murderer Lu Guosheng is still at large, and the girl who has been stimulated is still in a coma in the hospital, the whole case seems to have come to an end.

    The returned students were led away by their teachers and parents one after another. One of the boys was dragged forward by his mother roughly, with his father's angry slap print on his face, and he gained two pounds. Physiological tears kept flowing. He was so embarrassed, but kept turning his head, staring eagerly at the direction of the city bureau.

    Luo Wenzhou, who had brought them to the door, thought for a moment, then stopped him: "That classmate, wait a moment."

    The boy's parents paused, quickly suppressed their anger, and asked politely, "Comrade police, is there anything else?"

    Luo Wenzhou walked over and looked at the boy, a fair and clean young man, slightly fat, crying as he walked, looking younger than his actual age, he seemed to be a little introverted, and when he saw Luo Wenzhou approaching, he immediately lowered his head uneasily.

    Luo Wenzhou: "What's your name?"

    The boy whispered, "Zhang Yifan."

    Luo Wenzhou lowered his voice as much as possible, and asked, "Is there anything you want to say to the police uncle?"

    The boy's still undeveloped throat moved slightly, and the glances of the surrounding teachers and classmates immediately hit him. Luo Wenzhou frowned suddenly. Those silent glances made him a little uncomfortable.

    Zhang Yifan's father disliked his son's twitching, raised a big slap like a bear's paw, and slapped the boy on the back: "If you have it, say it, if you don't have it, say no, how to say it is so laborious? I get angry when I see you!"

    The boy's face was full of panic, as if a social phobia patient was being forced to talk to a strange stranger. Tears welled up and he blurted out, "No...no."

    Luo Wenzhou was about to ask questions, but he buried his face on his mother's shoulder and walked quickly as if fleeing.

    At this time, Lang Qiao stretched his back and walked over: "Boss, is this matter over, when will the report be written?"

    "No hurry," Luo Wenzhou watched the boy who left in a hurry, and put his jacket on his elbow, "I'll go to consult an expert first."

    Lang Qiao was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out who this "expert" was referring to, she saw Luo Wenzhou turn around and ask her with a cheerful look, "Little Qiao'er, what would you like to eat tomorrow morning?"

    "Baozi!" Lang Qiao, unaware of his malicious intentions, said happily, "Thank you, Father and Emperor!"

    Luo Wenzhou glanced at her with a smile, then turned and left.
