Chapter 8: Camouflage

Fang Liyong hummed a little song and walked in a dim alley, it was already the second half of the night, and there was not even a ghost on the road, but Fang Liyong was not afraid at all. This is a road that he has often come and gone. Reminiscing about the mahjong game that had just ended, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, Niang Laozi, luck is coming, and he can't stop it.

When he was about to get home, Fang Liyong lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, the unique aroma of tobacco entered his lungs from his throat, and then turned into two white smoke sprayed out from his nostrils, which was pleasant. He looked around, unscinched his trouser belt, and faced a flowerbed on the side of the road, ready to support the greenery.

Suddenly, a hand slapped him on the shoulder, Fang Liyong shook all over, and he took a few steps away at once, and the original urge to urinate was scared back.

Fang Liyong saw a tall man standing in front of him by taking advantage of a few rays of light leaking from the street lamps on the road in the distance. He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and asked, "You, what are you doing?"

You Yingying took out a document and handed it to Fang Liyong, saying, "Police." Are you Fang Liyong?"

The alley was dimly lit, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but Fang Liyong could vaguely recognize that there was indeed a pattern in the shape of a police badge on the ID.

Mother, you can summon the police if you put any water, so don't you have to worry about it. Fang Liyong screamed in his heart, but with a contrived smile on his face, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with Comrade Police looking for me?"

"Are you Fang Liyong?" You Yingying continued to ask with an expressionless face.

"Yes, yes, I'm Fang Liyong. ”

Ordinary people always have a natural fear when they hear the police. Looking at the other party's panicked and somewhat flattering performance, You Yingying thought to himself, fortunately, it was not a thorn, but it saved a little trouble.

"My name is Zhang Xiong, and I have a case to ask you about the situation. You Yingying shook the document in his hand, and then asked, "Do you see it clearly?"

"Only when you can see clearly can you have ghosts. Fang Li said bravely.

Although he had already greeted the whole family of this policeman who appeared inexplicably in his heart, Fang Liyong did not dare to show the slightest disrespect on the surface, he just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible.

"Alright, alright, look at it. Fang Liyong nodded and replied.

You Yingying put away his documents and deliberately took half a step forward, matching his tall figure, forming a huge sense of oppression, "Is it convenient to go to your house to talk?

"No trouble, no trouble. Fang Liyong was reluctant in his heart, but he immediately agreed.

Fang Liyong's place is a rental house on the outskirts of the city, although the place is remote, but the rent is not high, the neighbors are full of people, there is something, a shout can wake up many people, this is also Fang Liyong's confidence.

Opening the door with a click, Fang Liyong kept an eye on it, and did not enter the house immediately, he leaned against the door and asked, "Comrade policeman, if you have any questions, just ask here." ”

"Turn the lights on. You Yingying said.

Fang Liyong was fumbling for the switch next to the door, when suddenly, his mouth was covered from behind.

Fang Liyong was about to struggle subconsciously, but a chill hit his throat, making his hair stand on end.

"Brother, borrow some money to spend and cooperate, otherwise I will stab you to death. You Yingying deliberately lowered his voice and threatened in a sinister tone.

Fang Liyong didn't dare to move, but soon, he couldn't resist even if he wanted to. A strange smell filled his nostrils, and Fang Liyong's hands and feet went limp, and he passed out.

You Yingying dragged Fang Liyong into the house in two or two times, and confirmed that he did not alarm anyone. There was a strange sense of dislocation in his heart, but he knew that there was no time for him to feel it now.

After tying Fang Liyong with the tape and rope he carried in his bag, You Yingying quickly found his target, a set of special security uniforms from the Taigu Hotel where Fang Liyong worked, and a special badge for entering and exiting.

Subsequently, You Yingying rummaged through the cabinets in the house, making the appearance of burglary, rummaging through belongings to hide his true purpose.

After doing all this, You Hero determined the time, and it was good, everything was within the predetermined range.

He quietly left the rental house, checking his actions for any mistakes as he ran to the next place.

The name is nonsense, and the documents presented are also forged, these two points will be confirmed immediately after Fang Liyong calls the police.

All this would be considered a robbery by impersonating a police officer, but no one would have thought that the police would pretend to be a police robbery. This is the double insurance set up by the hero for himself.

After a day, Fang Liyong's friends will receive a pre-set timed text message from You Hero, and then rescue Fang Liyong. As for Fang Liyong's belongings, You Yingying will arrange for the courier to be sent back to him in ten days.

Everything went according to plan.

The street lights are still brightly lit, but the sky is starting to turn white. You Yingying put down the binoculars in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and then scribbled a few strokes in his notebook, and collapsed on the chair tiredly.

This is an ordinary single room of an express hotel carefully selected by You Yingying, opposite the famous five-star hotel in the city - Taigu International Hotel, through the window, the entire Taigu Hotel has an unobstructed view.

On You Yingying's notebook, a string of numbers written with a red pen is particularly conspicuous, which is the death message left by Zhang Zhan. There are a total of twelve groups of time, except for the fourth group that has no corresponding case, and the twelfth group has not yet happened, the other groups of time have been carefully marked with the corresponding case details by the tour hero. For example, the seventh group corresponds to the street drunken murder case that Zhang Zhan took over two weeks before his death, the ninth group corresponds to the case of Zhang Zhan's suicide by taking poison, and the eleventh group corresponds to the case of falling from a building that occurred a day ago.

These pages of notes have been turned to the edges, and You Yingying doesn't know how many times he has meditated on them.

Although there are really few useful clues, You Hero still smells a little tired from it. Based on You Yingying's many years of criminal investigation experience, to make a breakthrough from the clues of the deadlock, there are nothing more than two methods, one is to seek common ground and the other is to seek differences. It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of patience and care to do it.

From the point of view of seeking convergence, these cases have one thing in common, that is, the time of death is very precise. This point is very inconsistent in the eyes of You Yingying, an old criminal policeman.

It is important to know that the word used in forensic science regarding the time of death is "inference". Generally speaking, the medical examiner calculates the time of death based on the corpse's temperature, corpse spots, zombie, corneal opacity, bladder urine output, etc. However, because there is a lot of empirical judgment involved, as well as the choice of confidence intervals, the time of death in many cases is accurate to the hour at most. Unless there is surveillance, or the deceased is found at the first time, or the murderer himself confesses, it is difficult to have a record of the time of death accurate to the minute.

In the ten cases that are now known, whether it was suicide, homicide or accident, the deceased were all discovered at the first time without exception, leaving an accurate record of the time of death. This is also why You Yingying was able to connect Zhang Zhan's death information with these cases.

Obviously, this is definitely not a coincidence, but an intentional act by the people behind it. As for the reason why the murderer did this, You Yingying didn't have a clue for the time being, but he vaguely felt that this would be the key to locking the murderer.

In addition to the questionable accuracy of the time of death, the lack of corresponding case records for the fourth set of times is also a key breakthrough from the perspective of seeking differences. In the notebook, the fourth set of time was heavily bolded and drawn several times by the hero.

If the mastermind behind the scenes really had to let this series of cases be discovered for some reason, then why was there a missing case in the middle? It is very likely that in this fourth group of cases that should correspond to the time, the murderer encountered unexpected twists and turns, which forced him to be unable to expose the deceased at the first time, and even had to violate his rules of crime to cover up the case.

Unusual is where the flaw lies, You Yingying has worked the third group of time and the fifth group of cases before and after, and deducts every detail. After doing countless boring comparisons and exclusions, he found that the only intersection between the two deceased was the Taigu International Hotel that You Yingying saw now.

The deceased in the third group had a heart attack at the Taigu Hotel and died suddenly in the lobby, while the deceased in the fifth group was a security guard at the Taigu Hotel. What's more, You Yingying found in the investigation that at the fourth group of times, that is, at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night fifty days ago, someone once heard a loud noise from the Taigu Hotel, and some people swore that they saw the explosion, and finally even the fire alarm was alarmed, but then the hotel insisted that nothing happened, and the fire police did not find anything abnormal after a fire inspection, and the matter was over.

You Yingying looked at the time, there were still a few hours before the morning guard of the Taigu Hotel went to work. On the table beside him was a set of special security uniforms made by the Guda Hotel, as well as a special badge for entering and exiting.

If you go as a police officer, you will definitely only see the illusion of careful preparation and no flaws. I have to use some extraordinary means.

You Yingying rubbed his bloodshot eyes and went to the bathroom to wash his face. The cool feeling of the cold water soothed his tense spirit slightly.

Looking at himself in the mirror, You Yingying's heart was in a trance, and his mind suddenly flashed back to the scene when he took the oath when he joined the police.

"I swear that I volunteer to become a people's policeman......"

The oath of the time.

Beliefs at the time.

It was in high spirits.

At that time, Zhang Zhan was standing by my side.

You Yingying rubbed his face fiercely, as if he wanted to erase all the thoughts in his mind.

Don't think about it anymore, you hero set the alarm clock and force himself to sleep. Compensatory leave is a compulsory course for criminal police. You Hero knew he had to regain as much energy as possible. There is still a lot of work to do, but time waits for no one, and there are six days left, and this may be his last chance.
