36. Chase the murderer!
When Chu Shi'an walked out of the room, An Shijin lowered his body and pressed his ankles with a frown. "Does it still hurt, I'll take you to the hospital first." Chu Shi'an squatted down to check her legs, which seemed to be even more swollen. "Hmm." An Shijin did not hesitate, nodded and agreed. Because he didn't see Chu Mu for the time being, Chu Shi'an said hello to Kong Yi and helped An Shijin to stop a taxi on the side of the road.
When the two were standing on the side of the road, they happened to see the neighbor of the Liu family and his wife, a short and fat uncle, who was standing in the corner of the house and fiddling with a monitor. Chu Shi'an's eyes froze, and he helped An Shijin to walk over. "Uncle, may I ask if your monitor has been installed there all along?" Chu Shi'an asked. The uncle wearing a vest and a cigarette looked back at them, then turned his head to look at the policemen who had been surrounding next door, and nodded: "It's always been here, are you policemen, in fact, your colleagues have already asked me yesterday." I planted a little bit of flowers and plants in this yard, and people used to climb in and steal them, so I installed a monitor here. But on the day of the accident next door, my monitor happened to be broken, so I took it down and repaired it, so I didn't shoot anything, I'm sorry, I can't help. ”
Chu Shi'an looked at the monitor in his uncle's hand, his eyes narrowed, and he asked again: "Uncle, your monitor was broken on the day of the accident, so on that day, did you see anything unusual happening around here?" The uncle disturbed his head, squinted slightly and looked reminiscing: "To say that day, I found that the monitor was broken, so I removed it and sent it for repair, and I happened to meet Lao Liu next door who went out to buy something, and I went out with him." My son was in our house, but the police interrogated him, and he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. ”
"Uncle, is your son here, please ask him to come out, I want to ask him." Chu Shi'an politely requested. The uncle also cooperated, and immediately shouted upstairs: "Ah Fa, come down, hurry up, I have something to look for you." After a while, the upstairs window opened, and a thin man yawned and poked his head out, and said in an impatient tone, "What's the matter, I'm sleeping." "Xiaole's matter, the two police officers have something to ask you, you hurry down." The uncle frowned and yelled again.
The man glanced at Chu Shi'an and the two of them standing below, sniffled, snapped the glass shut, and then the sound of slippers trampling came from the room. Then the man came out of the room, leaned against the door frame and said, "Two beautiful police officers, just ask if there is anything." "On the day of the accident next door, did you notice anything unusual at home?" Chu Shi'an looked at him with an expressionless face. The man scratched his chicken-coop-like hair: "You police have asked me several times, I stayed in the room playing games that day, with headphones, I really don't know what happened." ”
At this time, a car came on the road, and when it turned the corner, it honked its horn several times and made a lot of noise. "TM, here we go again." The man seemed impatient and raised his middle finger at the butt of the car. The uncle standing on the side stretched out his foot and kicked him and glared at him: "In front of the police officer, you are still so full of swearing." The man pouted. Uncle, you have a lot of cars coming and going. Chu Shi'an looked at the path. The uncle smiled and nodded helplessly: "Yes, it's very annoying." From the road in front of us to the road, close to a lot, often there are cars from our side, the horn does not stop, we complained many times, useless. ”
"Speaking of which, that day, there was a blockage here, I don't know if it's an anomaly you said." The man leaning against the door frame frowned, as if he had thought of something, and raised his eyes to look at Chu Shi'an. "It was blocked that day, what's going on." Chu Shi'an frowned and asked back. "Not long after my dad left, I was playing a game, and suddenly it was a little noisy outside, so I opened the curtains and took a look, and the silver van lit up, and stopped at the front corner, and then a car caught up, honked the horn, and just like that, the car drove away immediately." "Why didn't you tell the police about this before, did you read the license plate number of that van?" Chu Shi'an's tone was a little stern, and his face fell.
"No, our road is so small, traffic jams are common. There was more than one block that day, and it wasn't anything unusual at all, so I mentioned it like this, and I wouldn't have told you if I knew it. The man shrugged his shoulders in dissatisfaction. But the traffic jam you mentioned happened not long after your father and Mr. Liu left, and the reason for the traffic jam is probably that the owner of the car got out of the car and kidnapped Xiaole away, such an important clue, why didn't you mention it to the police. Chu Shi'an's tone became more and more stern, and the eyes that looked at the man instantly became fierce. This police officer, our road is indeed often jammed with traffic, and we are all used to it, so Ah Fa forgot to tell the police. Hey, Ah Fa, think about it, did you write down the license plate number of that van? The uncle bumped into the man and played a round game.
The man was a little serious at this time, secretly glanced at Chu Shi'an, and quickly lowered his head and straightened up and thought seriously for a long time before shaking his head: "I just glanced at it, and the car drove away, and I didn't remember its license plate number at all." Chu Shi'an's brows became tighter and tighter, An Shijin stood aside and patted her arm lightly, looked at the man who was a little uneasy, and said in a soft voice: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember the license plate number, think about it, is there anything special about that car, such as scratches on the body, or whether the engine is abnormal when it starts, or whether there are other characteristics." The man looked at An Shijin and exhaled lightly: "Other featuresOther features, the rear taillights of the car are broken and keep flashing, and the rearview mirror, the rearview mirror glass seems to be cracked, it is a very broken car." "That's all, nothing else." Chu Shi'an looked at him straightly, and his dark eyes were cold. The man didn't dare to look at Chu Shi'an's eyes, and nodded again and again: "That's all, it's gone, it's really gone." That's all I remember. ”
"You think there's something suspicious about that car." An Shijin limped on Chu Shi'an's shoulder. Chu Shi'an stretched out his hand to help her, his eyes flashed: "Intuition." The two of them just informed Kong Yi of the suspicion just now, and asked him to go to the Ministry of Transportation to check if there was any surveillance of the car, and then Chu Shi'an did not delay the time and sent An Shijin to the hospital.
When they came out of the hospital with the medicine given by the doctor, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two of them had not eaten lunch, and they were both hungry. I found a restaurant near the hospital and ate something. Considering that An Shijin is now unable to move, Chu Shi'an proposed to send her home to rest first. It's just that An Shijin seemed to be very annoyed, and he was afraid that he would drag her down with Chu Shi'an, and he didn't want to be separated from her, that tangled and pitiful little appearance made Chu Shi'an sigh secretly: "Forget it, if you don't want to go back, come with me, but you have to stay in the car and don't run around." "Okay." Anyway, let me follow you, An Shijin smiled sweetly at Chu Shi'an, and hurriedly agreed.
The two took a taxi to the last victim's house to round with Chu Mu Kong Yi, but when they first arrived, they happened to meet Chu Mu and Kong Yi who were driven out by the grieving and angry victims' families. As soon as Chu Shi'an turned his head, he saw Mr. Gan, who he had just met that morning, standing beside the victim's family, looking at Chu Mu and them coldly. "What's going on with this man, how is he always at the victim's house." Chu Shi'an asked suspiciously. Kong Yi sighed, his face was not very good, but he still replied seriously: "Mr. Gan's son, who was killed by Red Nose five years ago, after which his wife left him and was fired from the company, he was a little mentally abnormal, and he followed behind our butts all day long. After the red-nosed imitator appeared, he also often appeared at the victim's house to comfort them, after all, they were in the same pain, and the family was ruined by the same incident. ”
"I doubted it, and I checked it. The last time the case happened, when the child was killed, he had alibi. Chu Mu, who had never spoken to Chu Shi'an, suddenly opened his mouth, but his tone was still the same cold, and he didn't look at Chu Shi'an. Now there is no clue at all, and there is no evidence left of this impersonator. Kong Yi sighed.
An Shi leaned on Chu Shi'an's shoulder, pressed all the weight of his body on her, and his eyes fell on Mr. Gan, who had been looking at them not far away. Chu Shi'an frowned and asked, "Has the car been found?" Kong Yi shook his head: "There is no news from the Ministry of Communications" But before he finished speaking, his mobile phone rang. Kong Yi closed his mouth, answered the phone, said a few words, and looked up excitedly: "The car has been found, and there are two that match." One of them was stolen a few months ago, so maybe there is a clue. ”
According to the Ministry of Transportation, the stolen silver van had broken rear lights and cracked mirror glass. A few hours earlier, it had been spotted heading to the outskirts to the south. Without delay, the four of them immediately got into the car and drove to the suburbs according to the instructions of the Ministry of Transportation.
Cameras on the road caught the car disappearing into a corner road on the southern outskirts, and the four drove in. According to the tire prints left on the road, I followed all the way, and finally saw the dilapidated silver van from a distance on the side of a remote and abandoned path. Chu Mu and Kong Yi took out their guns, and Chu Shi'an and An Shi waited in the car.
Slowly approaching the car, Chu Mu and Kong Yi rushed up and opened the door. It's just that the car was empty, with a few bags of snacks and drinks in the car, and a few cigarette butts in the ashtray next to the driver's seat. Chu Mu reached out and touched the cigarette butt, which was still a little hot: "The person didn't go long." Kong Yi took the gun back: "The footprints on the ground are very messy, the car has not turned off, it seems that it has run away in a hurry." Chu Shi'an trotted over, looked around, and frowned suspiciously: "We stopped the car at a distance, it is said that the people in the car should not be able to hear the sound of the car, how could they suddenly run away." ”
Suddenly, several birds suddenly flew into the woods in the distance, as if frightened. An Shijin limped over, looked up sensitively, and hurriedly pointed in that direction and shouted: "In that direction, maybe he ran over there." Chu Mu and Kong Yi raised their heads, lifted their legs like arrows from the string, and ran over. Chu Shi'an stood in place and looked at their backs, then looked back at An Shijin, who was working hard, slowly put down his raised legs, turned around and walked towards An Shijin, stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a little complaint: "Didn't you let you stay in the car, what are you doing when you come down." "I don't know, I don't see you, I feel a little panicked." An Shijin shook her arm coquettishly, her eyes blinked, and the smile on the corner of her lips was gentle and affectionate.
