More than a year has passed since Zhao Lin's case in the blink of an eye, and it is almost a headless unsolved case, but Li Wei is still unwilling and is still sparing no effort to trace the clues.

He found traces of her stay in Hainan from Zhao Lin's relics, and through his classmates at the police academy working in Hainan, like looking for a needle in a haystack, he finally found a jeweler named Wu Jianqiang, known as "Brother Qiang". This person has been in contact with Zhao Lin. So, Li Wei took advantage of the vacation to go to Hainan alone, and with the assistance of his old classmates, he found this Wu Jianqiang. However, Wu Jianqiang said that he and Zhao Lin had only met a few times occasionally, and they were not familiar with her, and they did not know what happened to her after returning to Shenzhen, let alone her death. According to the results of the Hainan police investigation, there is sufficient evidence to prove that Wu Jianqiang did not leave Hainan for a whole month before Zhao Lin was killed. It seems that this clue has been interrupted at this point.

Li Wei got nothing, and he had no time to go on vacation, so he returned in a huff. His original partner Mei Fang has been assigned to other cases by the detachment, and he can't see anyone all day, which makes him feel like an idler, and he has nothing to do all day long, only boringly looking through the photos of the physical evidence in Zhao Lin's case, as well as the interrogation notes that he has long been familiar with, and his heart is often irritable and depressed.

On this day, the old classmate in Hainan suddenly called and told him a clue: "We have arrested a person who has made a false certificate." According to his confession, he had helped Wu Jianqiang get a fake ID card, and the name on that ID card was Zhao Lin!" As soon as Li Wei heard the news, he was immediately shocked, and he almost jumped up from his seat.

"Then hurry up and find Wu Jianqiang!" Li Wei exclaimed excitedly.

"I've already asked him about it. The old classmate said on the phone, "But Wu Jianqiang said that he didn't know what Zhao Lin's original name was, only that her name was 'Ah Ling'." She told Wu Jianqiang that she had lost her ID card and asked him to help her get a new one, but Wu Jianqiang found someone who had a fake certificate to get one in order to save trouble. ”

“...... That's what he said?" Li Wei didn't believe Wu Jianqiang's statement, but he couldn't verify it.

"We also found a few group photos from Wu Jianqiang," the old classmate said, "among them is Zhao Lin, I don't know if it will be useful to you." I'll send it to you now. ”

"You send it first, I'll look for you again if you need it! Thank you! Remember to tell me when you come to Shenzhen, I'll invite you to dinner!" Li Wei hung up the phone.

After a while, the phone rang a few times, and the photo arrived.

Li Wei turned on his phone, downloaded the photo to the computer, and then looked at the screen carefully.

There are three photos, two of which were taken in the private room of the restaurant, and there were more than a dozen people participating in the group photo, Wu Jianqiang sat in the middle, and Zhao Lin was next to him, in an intimate posture; the other was taken on the beach by the sea, and the other was taken on the beach by the sea, which was a group photo of Wu Jianqiang and Zhao Lin, both of whom were wearing swimsuits, and the former's hand was lightly on the latter's waist......

"Look at the beauty!"

Li Wei heard Mei Fang's ridicule in his ears, and he realized that she had quietly stood beside him at some point.

"Isn't this Zhao Lin?" Mei Fang recognized the person in the photo. "Have you found a new clue?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy! I just want to see if I can find anyone else around Zhao Lin from these photos." ”

"Who is this man with her?"

"His name is Wu Jianqiang, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him 'Brother Qiang', and he is in the jewelry business in Hainan. This person has a wide range of contacts, and Zhao Lin has had dealings with him. However, he was not in Shenzhen at the time of the crime, and it is impossible to see what motive he could have for committing the crime. ”

"Zhao Lin should be very familiar with this strong brother......"

"Wu Jianqiang is a 'diamond king', and he is bold, and there are usually many women around him. Judging from our investigation, Zhao Lin has only had dinner with him a few times, and it doesn't seem to have a deep relationship......

Li Wei said, as if he had thought of something, and then told Mei Fang: "We just learned that this Zhao Lin had lost her ID card when she was in Hainan, and Wu Jianqiang found someone to help her get one, but it was a fake ID card." Because she didn't go to the public security organ to report the loss, no one knew what her name was. Wu Jianqiang said that he only knew her name was 'Ah Ling'. ”

"Ah Ling?......" Mei Fang repeated hesitantly.

Maybe it's Zhao Lin's nickname or nickname. Therefore, it is not easy to say that she changed her name. ”

"Is it 'Arlene' or 'Ah Ling'? you name it clearly!" Mei Fang said seriously.

"Why didn't I make it clear? It's 'Ah Ling'! Zhao Lin's 'Ling'!"

"That's not right! Zhao Lin's 'Lin' pronounces 'Lin', and you just said 'Ling'. That's not a word!"

"Huh?!" Li Wei smiled bitterly, "I've always read like this...... Could it be that the 'Ling' of 'Ah Ling' refers to another name?"

"If it's 'Ah Ling', it reminds me of a person...... Li Wei, do you know the Fang Yongping case back then?"

"Fang Yongping? I know a little bit, but I don't know much. That's an investigation. ”

"I just came to the city bureau that year to report for duty, and I was temporarily transferred to that case to do miscellaneous work. Mei Fang stared at Li Wei with her eyes full of excitement, "That case involves a woman named 'Ah Ling', her real name is 'Qin Yueling', and she is a lover of Fang Yongping. Fang Yongping has two lovers, and after he was arrested, we found the other one, but this Qin Yueling disappeared and has not been seen again. ”

"The Qin Yueling you are talking about, will it be the same person as this 'Ah Ling'?"

"If it's the same person, then there's really no proof of death!" Mei Fang sighed, focusing her eyes on the computer again, carefully observing and identifying the three photos.

"Huh, who is this woman?" she pointed to one of the photos, "She's standing behind Zhao Lin in this hotel box photo, and you pay attention to her hand—lightly on Zhao Lin's shoulder." Women don't know each other like this if they don't know each other. Look at this again," she said, opening the photo on the beach again, "and there's her in this picture." Although this photo was taken of Brother Qiang and Zhao Lin, the woman just now happened to be photographed. She stood far away, and it was not easy to spot if she didn't pay attention. Look at her gesture - she actually gestured to the camera - isn't this showing her own presence in the photo?! I guess, this woman must have crossed paths with Zhao Lin!"

"You are observing so carefully!" Li Wei admired in his heart. "After you say it, it's really like that. Awesome!

"I'm also a girl, of course I'll see the details that you men don't pay attention to!" Mei Fang thought and said, "Do you remember the surveillance video of the community where the crime occurred that we checked? At that time, there was a woman who got out of the car at the gate of the community...... Her figure looks a bit like the one in the photo!"

After being reminded by Mei Fang, Li Wei remembered. In the surveillance video outside the gate of the community where Zhao Lin lived, they saw a woman who came down from the rental and entered the community. But it was raining at the time, and the woman was holding an umbrella again, covering her entire face...... It rained heavily that night, and there were many residents who came back by taxi, and Li Wei and Mei Fang only conducted a key investigation on the outsiders who entered and left the community during the time period of the crime. Because the woman was not seen coming out again in the surveillance, they thought it was a resident and didn't take this person to heart.

Li Wei hurriedly found the surveillance video again, and cut to the scene of the woman Mei Fang said getting out of the car and carefully identified. In the ten seconds that this woman came down from the rental until she walked out of the frame, the umbrella always blocked all the parts above her breasts, and she couldn't see her face at all. He replayed it over and over again, looking for certain details, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"Look, this woman is wearing jeans! and her shirt is tucked into the waistband of her pants!" Mei Fang called softly. "Look at this one in the box - this woman is also wearing a pair of jeans, and the shirt is also tied in the waistband of the pants!"

Li Wei fixed his eyes on the taxi again, and gradually identified the license plate number of the taxi by freezing and magnifying it......

"We're going to find this taxi driver!" he slapped his hand the table.
