Chapter 81: Paint Buckets
After all, City A is not one of the best international metropolises in China, and it is only a level hovering between the second and third lines, and the security situation on weekdays is generally relatively stable.
The police officers of the police station who received the alarm and rushed to rescue the children who fell into the water were such a feeling, so when they saw the paint bucket that was fished up from the ice hole in the fish pond, the paint remaining in the bucket was eye-catching scarlet, such a distinctive feature immediately aroused the vigilance of the two policemen, they borrowed tools from others, and carefully stood on the edge of the ice cave for a long time, and finally finally fished out two identical paint buckets from the ice cave, which had red paint residues, The three paint buckets are filled with stones, broken bricks and the like, forming a certain weight to ensure that the paint buckets will sink to the bottom of the fish pond and will not float up, and one of the paint buckets also has a wet brush for brushing paint, needless to say, it is naturally covered with red paint, because it is full of paint itself has also increased a lot of weight, plus it is pressed under the stone, so it never floats in the water.
Seeing this situation, the surrounding residents who just helped to save the child didn't know what happened around here some time ago, so they didn't think there was anything strange, just gossiping. Whoever said that he was so immoral that he threw the empty paint bucket that had been brushed with oil into someone else's fish pond, but fortunately the fish in the fish pond had been emptied by the contractor before the winter. Now there is only a fish pond of water, frozen with a thick layer of ice, and there are no fish in it, otherwise, these three paint buckets will be thrown in, and some fish will probably not live!
The thoughts of the two policemen were not as simple as the surrounding residents, and they all thought of a murder case that they had heard about in the jurisdiction some time ago. At the scene of the crime, someone was painted with red paint all over the eyes, and the room where the deceased was found was painted into a red house. Although it was not the two of them who received the report at the scene, it was after hearing about it from a colleague. They are also impressed, and now when they see the paint bucket, especially the paint bucket with red paint remaining, it is difficult for them not to associate it with the case that happened some time ago. So after the two of them discussed. I still decided to call the criminal police team of the city bureau and report the situation to them, as for whether the other party thinks that there is some kind of connection between these two things, it will be up to the other party to make a judgment, and they don't have too much room to ask.
The person who received their call was none other than Tomley, and as soon as he heard about the discovery and the approximate location of the fish pond where the three empty paint buckets were found, he immediately made a decision. Ask the police from the police station in the jurisdiction to protect the scene and the three empty paint buckets, and he will contact his colleagues in the bureau. Rush to the scene as soon as possible to check on the situation.
After listening to the whole process of discovering these three empty paint buckets, almost everyone had a faint guess in their hearts, Dai Xu didn't ask anything at first, but walked to the edge of the fish pond, shone the ice under his feet with a flashlight, and walked step by step to about two meters away from the ice hole, but it was already a relatively distant place from the edge of the fish pond, and suddenly raised his foot vigorously and stomped down a few times.
"Be careful!" Fang Yuan saw that Dai Xu suddenly had such a big move, and shouted a little worriedly, although the contractor of the fish pond said that the water in this fish pond was not deep, only about two meters and a half, and Dai Xu was also a big man with a foot of one meter nine, even if he was really accidentally stomped out of a new ice hole, falling down would not be too dangerous for Dai Xu's life, but now after all, it is winter, even if this year is a rare warm winter, if it falls into this ice water, people will not be able to bear it, No matter how strong and healthy a person is, he will be irritated by the cold water and will not be able to stand it, and he will have to get seriously ill when he turns back.
Dai Xu turned his head and nodded to her, indicating that he knew what he knew, and then took a few steps in the horizontal direction, and stomped his foot vigorously. Fang Yuan looked at it from the edge of the fish pond, and he felt a little frightened. People are dominated by emotions, if the person who is doing this now is Tonic Power, Fang Yuan estimates that he will also feel a little worried, but it is only a little worried, far from worrying about the heart, and this person is replaced by Dai Xu, she feels that one of her hearts trembles slightly with Dai Xu's action of stomping on the ice, for fear that if he is not careful, the ice under Dai Xu's feet will crack, and he will fall into the water because he has no time to dodge.
Fortunately, such worries did not come true, Dai Xu stomped his feet in several places for a long time, and the ice on the surface of the fish pond still did not move, and it looked very strong. Dai Xu shone a flashlight under his feet again, and cautiously approached the ice cave, after a while, the surface of the ice cave was covered with a thin layer of ice, Dai Xu carried a stick in his hand, gently pushed the thin layer of ice away, and used the flashlight to look at how thick the ice shell was on both sides, and then returned to the edge of the fish pond.
"It's a bit interesting, and it's not as good as the sky." After he returned to the fish pond, he opened his mouth and said to Fang Yuan, "The time is not short until now, especially the depth of this fish pond itself is not too deep, I was still thinking when I came just now, there is no reason why an ice hole will suddenly pop up, so just now I went to the ice to stomp on it, and found that it is not a child, even if it is a big frame like me, the weight is not light, and the person stands on it so hard to stomp his feet, the ice surface is not moving, and the two children are running around, and it is more difficult to produce cracks. It's not going to make such a big hole. I took a look just now, the thickness of the ice surface is strong enough, and the ice hole was obviously deliberately smashed out, probably in order to discard the three empty paint buckets, so the smashed hole re-froze, and it has been a few days. Although it can be considered frozen, it is not strong enough, and it may easily crack if you step on it. Luckily, the two kids were fine. ”
"I also paid attention to it just now," Fang Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed in the two directions around him: "There are two paths over there, it's too dark to see clearly, but judging from the direction, I guess it should be in the direction of the place where Zhao Yinghua was killed." I just don't know which of these two roads can be passed. ”
After saying this, she turned her eyes to the two police officers from the police station in the jurisdiction who were listening to them talk about the details and clues, after all, this neighborhood is their jurisdiction. At least compared to Fang Yuan himself and Dai Xu, they should be a little more familiar with the surrounding environment, and maybe they would know some details.
However, she was still a little disappointed in the end, and the police officers in the police stations in the two jurisdictions were not very old. It shouldn't be too long. For example, Fang Yuan might be a little longer and limited, the two of them, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they both shook their heads, giving Fang Yuan a helpless expression.
"We usually have to pass by in this neighborhood on patrol or something, but most of the time it's the same as when you come over, you drive by and take the main road. There aren't many people living around here, you can see around this fish pond. Even the residents can't see it.,So this area is not a place that usually needs to be paid attention to.,Paths or something.,If you ask the surrounding residents.,Maybe you can know.,The two of us really don't know too well.。 One of the two of them opened his mouth to explain the reason to Dai Xu and Fang Yuan.
Dai Xu nodded, indicating that this is a very normal situation, it is not difficult to understand, the police of the police station in the jurisdiction asked him if he needed to go around to find the residents in this vicinity to inquire, Dai Xu waved his hand and refused: "There is no need to waste that time, anyway, there are just two paths, 50% of the chance, you also said, there are not many residents in this vicinity, there is a lot of effort to go to the area where the residents live, and it is almost the same to walk both roads." ”
"That's right, you can also calculate the time by the way, and see how long it will take to take a shortcut from here to the scene of the crime." Fang Yuan also agreed with Dai Xu's point of view.
So the two of them thanked the two colleagues from the police station in the jurisdiction, went to say hello to Tang Li, and then took one of the two paths with a flashlight and tried to walk first.
Their choice didn't seem so wise, this road walked for more than ten minutes, Dai Xu used a flashlight to shine on the surrounding environment, decisively chose to give up, and pulled Fang Yuan to walk back, his memory has always been good, when he went out of the scene before, in addition to the house itself at the scene of the crime, he also paid some attention to the surrounding environment, because there were flat [river crab] houses nearby, and it was relatively easy to see the surrounding environment at a glance, although it was said that day and night, the visual effects and senses were quite different, But there are always some obvious features that can be used to distinguish the surrounding environment, and Dai Xu is sure that this road definitely does not lead to the vicinity of the crime scene, so naturally there is no need to continue to waste time and energy.
He and Fang Yuan turned their heads and walked back again, because it was a small path, it was inevitable that there were some potholes, and there was no one else around, so Dai Xu naturally took Fang Yuan's hand, lest she have an unstable step. Dai Xu's tall is big, and his hands are naturally not small, a big hand can wrap Fang Yuan's hand tightly, and he can't feel the slightest chill. The two of them walked back silently, the steps under their feet were actually relatively fast, but Fang Yuan felt that after this noisy day, now at this moment, she finally felt as if her heart was at peace, although in this state at the moment, the two of them couldn't even be considered alone, but she still felt very down-to-earth, staying with him, whether it was at work or outside of work, it made people feel that there was no burden. Yang Zhiyuan is different, a person of the opposite sex who has no good feelings at all keeps being attentive and harassing his own life, which is a big burden in itself, not to mention that his existence is constantly reminding Fang Yuan about Fang's mother's calculations.
No matter who you are, it won't be too good to be treated by your most trusted relatives as a channel and tool that can benefit your future life.
This time Yang Zhiyuan's farce made such a big formation, but he was made to lose face at all, and walked away in disgrace, plus he had contacted Fang's mother before to confirm whether Fang Yuan had a boyfriend or not, Fang Yuan had reason to believe that this time he was deflated by himself, and he lost face in front of Dai Xu, so he would definitely not just press it down and not mention it. Don't look at Yang Zhiyuan, who seems to be an honest and stubborn person, the first meeting seems to be very low-key, but judging from his later behavior style again and again, he is still a young master with good living conditions after all, no matter how gentle and low-key he is on the surface, there will still be an arrogance in his bones that has been cultivated by superior conditions, just like this time he suffered such a big grievance, if he can quietly digest it obediently and not go to foreign aid, then it will really make the sun come out of the west.
And who is the foreign aid he is most likely to move, the answer to this question is simply a flea on a bald head, so obvious that it can't be more obvious.
Fang Yuan shook his head quietly, suppressing the distracting thoughts that had just popped up in his heart. It was not easy to turn the page of that farce, and there is still so much work to deal with now, she doesn't want to waste her energy and brainpower on that matter, not to mention that it really affects her mood.
Whether Fang's mother will stand up for Yang Zhiyuan or not, let's take a step at a time to see this matter, anyway, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, it was expected too early, and it is just a matter of worrying about the sky, which will only increase the troubles.
When the two of them walked back to the intersection of the path, Fang Yuan gently pulled his hand outward, and Dai Xu let go very tacitly, after all, it was still working time, even if the relationship between the two of them was already open in the team, it was always not good to show excessive intimacy.
After the two of them quietly let go of their hands, they happened to meet Tang Li who was waiting there, looking at the posture, the posture of the two of them holding hands must not have escaped Tang Li's eyes.
But Tonic didn't say anything, just smiled at them and walked away. (To be continued.) )
