Chapter 14: Mistakes are made in panic
Zheng Min did not publish the manuscript in the publisher's newspaper in the first place, and in the end she pressed the manuscript down.
"Why?" I asked her on the phone.
Her voice was a little helpless: "There is news over there that Wang Panjin is missing." ”
"Gone?" I didn't control the volume, which attracted Jin Hao's gaze, and I shook my hand to signal him to come over.
I gave him a headset and asked him to listen to Zheng Min's explanation with me.
Zheng Min's answer was also a little helpless: "The boss just called me, let me be cautious, I am afraid that Wang Panjin will make an extreme incident after seeing the report, I don't think it is the tone of the boss, so I want to explore the reason, the boss has not finished speaking, Wei Kai sent me a message that when they were eyeing Wang Panjin, they found that Wang Panjin had not gone home for two days." ”
"How did Wei Kai know?" Two days? That is, since I came back yesterday, Jin Hao didn't stare at him, I realized that something was wrong, I insisted that Zheng Min quickly publish the collected information and inferences, and then hung up the phone, while continuing to observe Cui Xiuhua's every move with a telescope, while asking Jin Hao to call Wei Kai.
"Let Wei Kai confirm again, including asking his fox friends to confirm whether Wang Panjin has appeared in other places he frequents today, if not, the worst possibility now is that Wang Panjin has already noticed that someone is following him, and he should have thought of other strategies to implement his plan."
"It's a little too pessimistic." Jin Hao stood next to me and also watched the movement in the opposite building, suddenly, Cui Xiuhua walked towards the window, and the two of us flashed to the hidden places on both sides of the window, trying to let her continue to observe her movements without seeing us, but Cui Xiuhua suddenly closed the curtains, leaving us with darkness.
I secretly screamed in my heart, the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and without saying a word, I pulled Jin Hao and ran down. By the time we arrived at Cui Xiuhua's rental house and kicked the door in, it was already empty. Jin Hao looked at me in surprise, I dropped a quick alarm, and went down the stairs first, and at the end of the stairs I saw the old woman who was talking to me yesterday. When the old woman saw me, she was startled at first, and then looked at the door that had been kicked open, but before I could explain, she showed a clear application, and muttered, "No wonder." ”
I didn't want to explain too much, so I asked the old lady bluntly, "Grandma, where did you see that woman just now?" I can't explain it to you very clearly, but she's in danger right now, and if you see where he's gone, you must tell me. I'm not a bad person, I want to save her. ”
But the old grandmother shook her head: "I don't know. ”
I don't know if she really doesn't know, or if she doesn't want me to chase her, grandma just shook her head and didn't speak, but if you want to get out of here, there is only one way to get out. "Grandma, you've been standing here."
The old lady thought for a moment: "I have been at the door for about ten minutes, and I only saw you and a young man rushing in, and then slamming open the door of love." There was some reproach in the old lady's tone, "I also said how could a little girl like you move here to live, and sure enough, you just used the old lady's words yesterday." ”
I didn't argue, I looked at my watch, and my grandmother said that she had been standing here for ten minutes and hadn't seen anyone go out, and it took us a maximum of five minutes to run here from the opposite side, that is, Cui Xiuhua didn't leave the building when we arrived here, and then we rushed into the building to make sure we didn't miss anyone out. I quickly scanned the narrow hallway. At this time, Jin Hao walked up to me: "I have called the police." ”
I nodded in understanding, put my index finger to my mouth and made a silent motion, and pointed with my other hand to the only room with peeping holes, Jin Hao glanced at me, walked to the door and knocked, but no one answered. After knocking on them several times, still no one answered, under my promise, Jin Hao kicked open the door again, there was no one inside, the window was open to the door, I walked into the room, there was a handprint on the window edge, looking at the direction of the finger should have jumped from the window just now.
I glanced down, and sure enough, I saw a few messy footprints on the eaves of the supermarket next door, which should not have been running for long. I was about to pull Jin Hao down to check the direction of the footprints, the police have already come, because we are making too much noise, and the first impact of the police is that we are very suspicious, but this is not to blame for being someone, think about someone kicking open the door of your house without saying anything, you don't think he is terrible. However, thanks to Zheng Min's contact with this side, under Zheng Min's remote explanation, the police accepted what we said with suspicion.
"So, you think the tenants here have something to do with a homicide?" Received a question from our police.
"It's not together, it's a lot, but it doesn't have much to do with the female tenant, it's just that she is now implicated, and she is in danger, and someone wants her to kill someone." I've explained the situation in a nutshell.
It may be that the incident happened too bizarrely, after the police heard what we said, in addition to the inexplicability of their faces, the expression on their faces also became stern: "What evidence do you have?" ”
I pointed to the door that Jin Hao kicked open later and said: "You can look at the window edge, and the eaves of the small supermarket below, there are handprints and footprints from two different people, if you compare them, you can find that there are the same two footprints in front of the supermarket below, which should be new, and there is a footprint that should be able to show that the owner of the transaction is walking a little staggering, and she should have been dragged away, and it can be seen that she did not leave voluntarily." We suspect that the man who took him away had a direct connection to the many previous murders. ”
The police officer who received us observed the footprints on the eaves, led us to the front of the supermarket, looked for the same footprints, and finally called the police station.
"The bureau will send an investigator in a moment." After the police called, he said to us, "It's beyond the scope of my group, and the cases you are talking about are also beyond the scope of my investigation. But why didn't you want the police to explain the situation in the first place and did you investigate privately? If you do this, it will be illegal if you are held accountable. ”
I just wanted to refute, Jin Hao grabbed me and said first: "I'm sorry, we also received a friend entrusted to investigate his son's matter, the matter is cute, I didn't expect it to be so strict, we are really sorry for causing you so much trouble, we will truthfully report everything we know to the police, I hope the police can also help me find out the murderer of his son as soon as possible, we will fully cooperate." Jin Hao's tone was very sincere, and the policeman standing across from us nodded, not embarrassing us.
Jin Hao forgot to stuff a packet of lemon gummies in his hand, coaxed me and said, "Don't be too nervous, since Wang Panjin found us and left with Cui Xiuhua, it means that he is afraid, and he is afraid that there will be negligence." Now his feelings are unstable, and he certainly does not have the previous reason in judgment, and you see that he has left footprints, and as long as you follow the footprints, you can find their traces, and stop her before he carries out his plan. And Cui Xiuhua, you also said that Cui Xiuhua will confuse illusion and reality because of mental problems, so she may not necessarily do it completely according to Wang Panjin's flowers, plus, now we have not entered Scorpio, if Wang Panjin has the obsessive-compulsive disorder you mentioned, he will definitely wait for a few more days, we still have time, so don't be nervous. ”
I knew that Jin Hao was comforting me, but I was more aware of what I was showing, and I shook my head, negating Jin Hao's optimism; "You think too simply, Wang Panjin's previous plan was very thorough, do you think he won't have a second plan? He has a good chance of killing Cui Xiuhua. Cui Xiuhua is familiar with his whereabouts and will expose his last plan, and killing her is the best choice when she is cornered. After that, as long as he enters the Scorpio Palace, he can find someone to kill him, but what he did before stimulated Cui Xiuhua, and this was a move he made to the plan, but now, there is no way to lose this chess piece when he takes this move, and losing this chess piece may be his final decision. When I came yesterday, Cui Xiuhua's room had not yet installed curtains, but today curtains appeared inexplicably, indicating that Wang Panjin is likely to stay here all day today, he has the key here, and he even rented another room next to Cui Xiuhua in order to hide himself. So he must have instructed Cui Xiuhua to close the curtains after eating before Cui Xiuhua entered the door today. ”
"Why?" Jin Hao asked me.
"Wang Panjin as I said had already discovered that someone was following him, so when he found out yesterday that we were not following him nearby, he should have guessed that we might have deduced some clues, and then I asked him to confirm his thoughts more when I came over." I explained to Jin Hao.
"But have you ever wondered why he didn't take Cui Xiuhua yesterday?" Jing Hao helped me tear open the packaging of the lemon gummies.
I took a gummy candy and put it in my mouth: "I'm also waiting for news, I don't know if Wei Kai's fox friends and dog friends will go to find out where Wang Panjin went today?" As I said before, Wang Panjin will not meet Cui Xiuhua in public in order not to leave evidence, so the only chance to take Cui Xiuhua away is to inform him of his thoughts at the door when Cui Xiuhua returns, or to scare her that someone is following her, which will be detrimental to her son, and then coax her to act according to her plan. He should have been here today, or this afternoon, and when we came, he found us, watched us, and paid until he found out that we had rented the cottage opposite, and confirmed his thoughts, so he created another different thing to attract our attention, and when we felt that something was wrong, because we couldn't see the situation on the other side of the curtain, we would run over in a panic to make sure that he was observing us, and after discovering that we had been tricked, he followed us step by step when we rushed this way. Opened Cui Xiuhua's people with the key, pulled Cui Xiuhua into his house, after confirming that we went upstairs, he quickly took Cui Xiuhua from Changhu and left the building, and after our ruse, he had already escaped with Cui Xiuhua, even if we didn't call the police, he understood the environment here, and knew that we couldn't get out lightly for a while, so that he had enough time to escape from our sight with Cui Xiuhua, sorry, I was too anxious this time. "I blamed myself in my heart, if Cui Xiuhua had an accident because of my negligence, I felt that I couldn't forgive myself, I was to protect her from being framed by Wang Panjin, but I saw her fall into a more dangerous situation.
"So now in order to save her, you should calm down. Take a deep breath, for the time being, Wang Panjin has no way to kill her, you also said that you are hungry, Wang Panjin will not expose his purpose to broad daylight before it is realized. And after the investigators came, there were many ways to pursue him, and we, didn't we still have the help of Wei Kai's fox friends and dogs? ”
"I hope it doesn't help." I prayed.
Jin Hao laughed with a 'poof': "If he is really as stupid as you think, then he will not escape from under Li Jing's nose every time." ”
"Can you not mention him?" I glanced at Jin Hao, who smiled and didn't speak.
The investigators soon arrived at the scene, and after we had a choice and told the investigators some clues about our investigation, the police left our phone number and let us go home temporarily. We didn't go home, and after withdrawing from the police, we secretly retreated to the small house we rented before, and continued to observe the investigation, when Wei Kai's phone called: "Jin Hao, today Wang Panjin went to his ex-girlfriend's grave. ”
Jin Hao and I glanced at each other, and sure enough, as I guessed, Wang Panjin already knew that we would investigate his affairs again, and it was possible that he had all his plans, so in order to be able to implement his plan smoothly, he was ready to disappear from our sight, knowing that his last day was coming, so today should be to say goodbye to his girlfriend. I looked at the calendar, to be exact, there are only 9 days left before entering the Scorpio Palace, and Wang Panjin's birthday is the first day of Scorpio, and it is only 9 days before he plans to use Cui Xiuhua to create the illusion of killing him. What's more, now that he has discovered the truth, it is unknown whether he will act according to his original plan.
I glanced at Jin Hao, took his mobile phone and asked Wei Kai, "Did he drive to the cemetery?" ”
He probably didn't expect me to talk to him, obviously stunned on the other end of the phone, but he quickly replied: "I don't know, I'll check again, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Well, check his license plate number, and then look at the surveillance at all the intersections in the urban village to see if you can find his car leaving the urban village just now." (To be continued.) )
