275. Scars
"It's dead, he said, and he snorted......"
Zhang Lei said subconsciously, but he seemed to understand halfway through the words, "It's very uncomfortable to snort when you're dead, what do you mean - his cat may have been killed by Ruan He?"
"Can a normal death have such a strange sound?" Xiao Ran made a knife-wielding motion, and then played back the monitor, pointing to the cat's head that poked out of his arm when the old latch crossed the road.
"It looks like an adult cat that has grown into a very energetic cat. β
Zhang Lei leaned cross-legged on the back of the chair, still a little puzzled: "But even if Ruan He killed the uncle's cat, what does this have to do with our case, even if the cat comes back to life with a poof, it can't open its mouth to prove that Ruan He killed it?"
For a technical man like Zhang Lei, who is accustomed to piling up data and physical evidence, it is his strength to delve into a fixed formula, but the antelope horns that jump out of the formula itself are a little incomprehensible for him.
"Tentatively, it is the storage disk that Ruan He took from the old latch, so why did she kill the old latch's cat? If it was for some purpose of not leaving any trouble, wouldn't it be better to attack the old latch directly?" Xiao Ran asked.
Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment, "How do I know why she killed her uncle's cat, and there was no monitoring to capture the situation at the time! Maybe it's because she is disgusted in her personality, just like Master Lu wrote, she is of the same clan as the lion and tiger, but she looks charming, sneaky and not like a good thing, so she has always hated cats."
Or maybe she's perverted in her heart, the uncle didn't pay for what she did, and she had to stimulate her again, and she would take revenge, she saw a lot of things like this, who could guess what happened in the perverted worldββ so what do you think?"
"It dawned on me that you were quite imaginative. Xiao Ran sneered perfunctorily, looked up at the ceiling and said, "I just feel that Ruan He seems to have had something to do with that uncle's cat that night." β
"Cut, you also said that I am unreliable, your inference is similar to me!" Zhang Lei teased and looked at the time, "Let's continue to watch next?"
"Let's not look at it yet, sort out the results of tonight, and go back to sleep. β
Xiao Ran stood up and moved his neck, "Since there is a more convenient way, we must adjust our strength to investigate from that uncle, if we can find direct evidence, we will have enough time to supplement the circumstantial evidence in the future." If it still doesn't work, then you can only go through this step again. β
Coming out of the building, the temperature dropped suddenly, and suddenly a wet and cold wind blew over, rolling a few fallen leaves on the side of the road, against the light of the street lamps, swaying towards the sky.
Zhang Lei wrapped himself in a thickened jacket, got into Xiao Ran's car with his hands, and leaned on the window looking at the dark night sky overhead: "Xiao Ran, why don't you sleep in the dormitory with me?"
This point is the heaviest yin, you go home alone, the key is that you still live on such a high floor, I read in the book, don't take the elevator and take the corridor in the early morning, so deep the elevator passage, more like a shaft that goes straight to the ground!
The book says that the elevator in the middle of the night is a yin-yang gate to hell, which can connect hell and the world, and there are often ghosts, especially when you ride alone at night, do not stare at your own image, it is said that if you last for more than five seconds, you will see something terrible......"
Xiao Ran's heart was like water, and he snorted coldly: "What have you been watching lately?"
"The elevator leading to the negative fourth floor, don't mention it, it's too scary to write, my scalp is numb when I think about it!" Zhang Lei said busily.
Xiao Ran said angrily: "I didn't mention it, you said it yourself." It's not that you don't believe in this, these thoughts are all your self-psychological cues, think about your data stream, or watch a seven-o'clock news, and make sure you overcome all fears immediately!"
"I know it's all fake, but it's still quite a feeling to really substitute it, do you see it?
Xiao Ran turned a deaf ear to this, after all, Xiao Ran has always disagreed with Zhang Lei's certain taste.
The night slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, it was a new day.
After the morning meeting, because He Xiaoli was on duty at night, she was still resting for the time being and did not come, so Xiao Ran directly found the Lei Brigade and reported the latest progress of the investigation of Ruan He.
The Lei Brigade attached great importance to the fact that Lao Liang might be an eyewitness, asked Xiao Ran to continue the investigation, and told Xiao Ran that the second investigation had begun on the two black car drivers who picked up Wang Jingsha, and the driving records of the two people kept in Shaoji City were also on the way to be sent.
Coming out of the office of the Lei Brigade, Xiao Ran called Zhang Lei, took two auxiliary policemen, got into the car and went straight to Wufang Road. As for Li Fangfang, he dealt with two police incidents when he was on duty at night, and he didn't close his eyes for nearly a day and a night, so he went back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep.
The hitchhiker stopped at the uncle's residence, it was not early at the moment, and the anxious aunt had already returned from the vegetable market with the ingredients to prepare lunch.
A few people got out of the car, only to see that the door of the old uncle's house was hidden and not closed.
Jiang Feng, an auxiliary police officer who was slightly shorter than Xiao Ran and 180 tall but extremely strong, strode forward and raised his unicorn arm, and knocked lightly on the wooden door with amazing momentum but little effect, the sound was so small that Xiao Ran, who was two meters away, almost didn't hear it clearly.
Jiang Feng looked in from the crack in the door, turned to look at Xiao Ran, and said in a thick voice: "Officer Xiao, there is no one inside!"
"I should have gone out. Xiao Ran nodded, stepped forward and patted the security door next to him, and after a while, the sound of slippers came from the house.
I only heard a female voice shouting in a thin voice: "Who? I can hear it three miles away when I hit the door, and my hand doesn't hurt......
The security door opened, Xiao Ran didn't see anyone for the first time, and when he lowered his head again, he saw that the short young woman in front of him should be the daughter-in-law of the old uncle.
Seeing several tall men around the door, especially Jiang Feng's exaggerated chest muscles and arms, as well as the horizontal flesh on his face and the round inches pushed against his scalp, he didn't look like a good person.
The woman was frightened and reflexively wanted to close the door, but fortunately Xiao Ran took out her documents in time: "Hello, police!"
"Oh, comrade police, police!"
The woman was frightened, hurriedly opened the door, and motioned for everyone to come in: "Come in and sit down, you are plainclothes, right? Oh, recently a shopkeeper near us was arrested for murder, I thought there was a bad guy again, this size really scared me!"
"Eldest sister, this meat on my body is exercised, not trained by doing bad things!" Jiang Feng touched his head and joked.
Xiao Ran smiled and didn't go in, but just asked, "Eldest sister, do you know where the uncle went?"
"Uncle, are you talking about my father? He ate porridge before, and I asked him to take off his coat and wash him, but he didn't want to, and he didn't know where to run now. What are you looking for him?" the woman said tentatively.
Xiao Ran nodded, "Is he sober now?" there are some things that need to be learned from him. β
"When he's awake, he just needs to sleep in a daze. The woman said: "He should be at the intersection now, there is a chess player over there, you wait, I will change your shoes and you will find it!"
"I'm sorry for you. Xiao Ran smiled.
Seeing the woman running upstairs, Zhang Lei came to Jiang Feng's side, stretched out his finger and pointed at Jiang Feng's exaggerated deltoid muscles, "I said Brother Jiang, how did you practice this, it's too terrifying, when you go on patrol, do those cowardly people avoid you?"
"Hey, he used to be a fitness instructor, and then he ran into a bag grabber, and he hammered someone with a slight concussion with a fist, and he was almost convicted of 'stopping criminal negligence', and then he was admitted to our auxiliary police force when he recruited police officers last year. The auxiliary policeman surnamed Sun on the side said with a smile.
Jiang Feng snapped his fists, and his knuckles crackled, "I just want to be righteous and brave!"
The old bolt's daughter-in-law changed her shoes and locked the door, took everyone around, and sure enough, she found the old bolt wrapped in a dirty old military coat in a chess and card room at the intersection of Wufang Road.
"Dad, someone is looking for you!" the old bolt's daughter-in-law called him out of the chess and card room.
The old man wrapped himself in a military coat, stepped forward and shook hands with Xiao Ran, his words and deeds were not at all like yesterday, and his eyes were a little more shrewd: "Comrade policeman, are you looking for me?"
"Hello uncle, we are from the Public Security Bureau, looking for you to know more about the situation. Xiao Ran clipped the recorder to his chest, and Jiang Feng went to the chess and card room to find two small horses, and took them out for the two to sit.
The old man nodded and sat down: "Hello policeman, people's defender, my son said that I was confused yesterday, and it was a few little policemen who sent me back." β
"That's who we are. Zhang Lei spread out his notebook and said.
As soon as he heard this, Lao Yan suddenly got up, held Xiao Ran's hand and thanked him repeatedly: "Oh yo, I can't remember, I'm sorry, thank you so much, thank youββ just ask, I can say whatever I know, and I won't discount it!"
Xiao Ran pulled the old latch to sit down again, and after the personal information was recorded, Xiao Ran went straight to the topic and said: "Uncle, on the 29th of last month, that is, last Saturday, at 8 o'clock in the evening, you took a storage tray under the trash can in front of the Zhimei cosmetics store, do you remember?"
"This ......" The old man hesitated slightly, and finally nodded: "Someone asked me to take it, and gave me two hundred yuan." β
"Do you remember whether that person was male or female, what he looked like?" Xiao Ran asked.
The old latch wrapped in a shiny coat again: "Woman, I don't know what she looks like, wearing a black mask and a hat, I haven't seen her face from beginning to end." β
"In addition to the mask and hat, do you remember any special markings on her body, such as what kind of leather bag she looked like and what color she had? Xiao Ran said.
The old latch shook his head and said, "I don't know that, I still remember that she was wearing a red tweed coat, and I don't know the rest." β
"What did she tell you at the time?" Xiao Ran asked.
The old latch replied: "What do you say, just say that if I do me a favor, I will give me 200 yuan, I, I have money, right, I will help him get it, I didn't think so much at the time, I want to know that you want to check now, I won't help her take it, but the money has been spent by me, and you are looking for me now, and I don't have it." β
"The matter of money is not the point, do you remember where that person found you at that time, and left from that direction?" Xiao Ran asked.
The old latch thought for a moment and said, "I don't know where she came from, I sat at the door and didn't pay attention, and then she left, and we were all around, and I saw her go east along the road in front of my door." β
"Do you take a look at the person you saw at the time, and the portrait in the photo?" Zhang Lei got off the bus before taking out Ruan He, and watched a screenshot photo of Chen Ang when he identified the scene.
The old latch took the photo and looked at it, and immediately said: "Yes, it's such a red coat, and the figure is similar, but the woman in the photo doesn't wear a hat, and I can't say it's good." β
Then he asked a few more questions, and Xiao Ran finally asked, "Uncle, can you tell me why you didn't have that cat?"
At the mention of the cat, Uncle Latch's eyes were obviously a little more confused, and he sighed and said: "When I gave her something, she stretched out her hand to take it, and my cat recognized that she was still alive, and grabbed her hand with a paw, as if it was bleeding, I said I didn't want the money, and I apologized to her."
She also smiled and said it didn't matter, just get vaccinated, and then she put on leather gloves and said, 'I'll look at your cat', I didn't think she was such a bad person, and handed my cat over.
Who knew she was so ruthless, I don't know when she held a knife in her hand, and stabbed my cat in the neck with a knife, and stirred it a few times with the knife, and the knife was pulled out, and the blood foam sprayed out, poof...... Poof...... And he died...... Dead ......"
The old bolt's pupils became more and more hollow, and his words became incoherent, and when his daughter-in-law saw him like this, she hurriedly ran to him from the side of the road: "Oh my mother, why are you confused so early today!"
"Uncle, your cat is dead, where did you lose the corpse?"
