Chapter 32: The Ghost Head Detective is online
How to gather intelligence quickly and effectively is the key to this operation. A few minutes later, I floated downstairs to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, where the glass curtain wall reflected the blazing sun's rays, and the wind blew the flag, but I couldn't feel it.
In my current state, let alone getting the detailed information of Guan Linlin's case, even stealing the notebook and even the police officer card that Li Lu carried with him is as simple as digging into a bag and picking up things, and it can be easily achieved.
I recalled the route that Li Lu had taken me in last night, drifting through the curfew under the nose of the doorman's eldest brother, and going up the stairs, and soon arrived at the office area of their criminal police team. To my surprise, there were only a few police officers sitting in their seats, and the ones I could name were empty and seemed to be out of the field.
It seems that the case has indeed made great progress, at least there is a breakthrough direction, otherwise Li Luo would not have led all the staff to dispatch. I floated to Zheng Duan's workstation first, rummaged but found nothing, so I had to head to Li Lu's office.
Easily through the frosted glass door of the vice-captain's office, the layout inside is no different from last night, still neat, still old-fashioned, the bamboo potted plants on the table do their best to decorate a trace of greenery, but it seems redundant. Li Lu didn't have any office related to his desktop except for the computer, the bookcase behind him was no longer a trace of Cao Ke's folder, and the drawer was locked, and I could reach in and fumble for it, but I couldn't get anything out of it—he did it, I don't know if it was to prevent people or ghosts, it was really difficult.
But soon things took a turn for the better, and just as I was about to give up, I accidentally ran into the wireless mouse on Li Lu's desktop, and the computer screen lit up, making me sweat profusely.
On the screen is a photo of Guan Xue's ID card, the ID number and home address are readily available, the ancestor blesses, this is what Li Lu showed me last night, it must be because he forgot to turn off the computer, so he gave me a chance.
I recited Guan Linlin's ID number a few times — though it didn't seem to be of much use — and then silently wrote down her home address, "801, Building 18, Area A, Fairview Garden."
Fairview Garden, I've heard of this community, outside the city's third ring road, not too far from my rented apartment, but the layout is completely different. The reason why this community is well-known is not because of its good living environment, nor because of the developer of Splendid Group, which focuses on the development of medium and high-end real estate, but because the words "Splendid Garden" appear in the context of various peach-colored gossip and scandals all year round, and then it is nicknamed "Second Milk Community", "Little Third Community" and "Peripheral Community".
So let's start from Guan Linlin's residence today, I came out of the public security bureau building, found a bus that went straight to Splendid Garden, and got on the bus in a hurry, and I didn't need to buy a ticket. In fact, it's good to be a ghost, in addition to not being able to eat or sleep and being a little lonely, most of the time is very free, and it can even be called "freedom beyond oneself".
Fortunately, it was afternoon, there were not many people on the bus, and the aunts and uncles sat quietly in their seats, not noisy. After seven or eight stops, I got off the bus from the bank, and across the road was the legendary Splendid Garden Community.
The small high-rise buildings are connected by a shallow oak boardwalk, and the side is paved with scattered cobblestones, and the flowering shrubs try to create an idyllic atmosphere. The center of the community is an elegant and unique artificial landscape, with a low rockery with a water curtain and a stream that flows into a small artificial lake not far away.
The developer of this neighborhood has put a lot of thought into it, so it's no wonder that rents here are more than double as much as in the neighborhood. I inspected the building numbers from building to building, and met many beautiful women with slim and graceful postures, showing the charm of different stages, but with the same richness and delicacy.
Downstairs in Building 18, there was a police car parked, and Li Lu's off-road vehicle was parked next to it, which I was all too familiar with. It seems that Li Lu and they are also at Guan Xue's house, and I didn't miss too much content.
As I expected, on the eighth floor, the door of room 801 was wide open, a yellow cordon was drawn at the door, and a police officer on duty stood next to it. There was a faint conversation between men and the click of flashing lights in the room.
“…… No detail can be missed......" The speaker is none other than Li Lu. When I entered the house, he was standing in the hall directing the police officers in charge of photographing the evidence.
He wears an unpatterned gray long-sleeved sweatshirt, jeans with slightly rolled hems, and canvas shoes with regular white shoe covers. He wasn't dressed in a fashion trend, but perhaps because of himself, everything looked ironing and comfortable.
"Take a long exposure shot of the suspicious area", he didn't notice my sight in the slightest, but focused on an unidentified smudge near the kitchen floor, took a pressure canister similar to hairspray handed to him by Zheng Duan with his left hand, and sprayed yellow powder on the smudge.
I know this, the luminol reagent, which is mentioned in many criminal investigation works, is said to be able to react with residual heme and emit blue-purple fluorescence under long exposures. I didn't understand the chemistry, and it was the first time I saw it with my own eyes, so I couldn't help but think it was magical.
"There was no reaction, no forced entry and no signs of struggle. It's all too peaceful", Li Lu took the camera from the police officer's hand and glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, he stretched it out again, and opened the notebook that had been in his pocket for a long time, "but it can't be ruled out that this is the first scene of the crime." The cause of Guan Xue's death was respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest caused by a large amount of midapelam injection in her body, so it cannot be ruled out that an acquaintance entered the room and took advantage of the possibility that she did not have the injection......"
"Boss, you're right, can we go have a meal first, it's almost two o'clock, my brother hasn't eaten lunch yet", Zheng Duan took off his gloves, put his hands on his waist and sighed, floating next to him, I clearly heard the "grunt" sound from his stomach.
Li Luo didn't answer him directly, but stared at the notebook in his hand and was silent, and I struggled to float behind him, wanting to see the precious contents of his mysterious notebook. As a result, he just wrote the words "bill" and "midafra" on the next blank page, and I didn't understand his brain circuitry either.
"Okay, temporarily close the team, I'll invite you to dinner", Li Lu put the notebook back in his pocket, beckoned Zheng Duan and several other police officers who were still collecting evidence, and then took the lead in going out and took off the shoe covers, and asked the comrade on duty at the door, "Thank you Xiao Zhao, I'll bring you food later." Call me if someone suspicious shows up. ”
Isn't it me who is the suspicious person who appears? I floated in the living room of Guan Linlin's apartment, watching Li Lu and his men leave—and then it was time for Ghost Detective Zhao Youyi to investigate.
