130, the clouds open and the fog disperses (28)
As the waiter said, Xu Zhonghui came to the bar, ordered a cup of coffee and a light meal, and ate slowly alone. During this time, he also fiddled with his phone from time to time. Because the pixels of the picture are too scummy, Ge Bin can't see what he's doing.
Huang Fangyuan let the screen scroll for about ten minutes and then pressed the fast-forward button, and the screen began to fast-forward at a rate of 1.5 times. At about 7:28, Xu Zhonghui left the bar and walked out the door.
"Can you also pull up the surveillance over there in the open-air dining area, let's take a look?" Huang Fangyuan asked Manager Zhu, who was sitting across the desk.
"No problem."
Manager Zhu immediately stood up, but this time he did not walk back to the desk, but directly turned the computer monitor, so that the screen was aimed at him, and at the same time reached out and dragged the keyboard and mouse on the table, and after another operation, when the computer monitor turned back to Huang Fangyuan and Ge Bin again, the screen on the screen had become an outdoor open-air dining area.
"You might need to fast-forward fifteen minutes to see him walk out of the bar door and take his seat in the alfresco dining area."
Huang Fangyuan fast-forwarded about fifteen minutes according to Manager Zhu's suggestion, and saw Xu Zhonghui walk out of the bar, walk straight to the nearest table, and sit down with his face facing the west, that is, in the direction of the camera. Ge Bin remembered that he was also sitting in that position when he met Xu Zhonghui that day.
Huang Fangyuan pressed the fast-forward button again, and it wasn't until Anxin's figure appeared in the frame that he let the video playback speed return to normal speed.
The pixels of the outdoor surveillance camera are the same as those indoor, and the outdoor light is worse than the indoor, Ge Bin really can't really see Xu Zhonghui's facial expression. I saw that Xu Zhonghui in the picture was sometimes invisible in the shadows, sometimes exposed to the light, flickering and unpredictable. But Ge Bin still felt an inexplicable tension from the body language of the two, revealing that the conversation between the two was not pleasant.
As the frame of the picture jumps frame by frame, the time in the surveillance video comes to about 8:44 that night. At this time, Xu Zhonghui suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the bar again. As he passed the dining table, his hand subconsciously touched the bottom of the table, and seemed to pull an item out of it. After that, the minutes passed minute by second, and it was not until the time was displayed at 8:52 that Xu Zhonghui returned to the outdoor outdoor dining area again, with an extra glass in his hand. He placed the glass in front of Anxin as he returned to his seat. After that, the two of them gossiped together, and the atmosphere seemed to be slightly more relaxed than before. During this period, An Xin kept taking small sips of the glass of water that Xu Zhonghui brought to her. After another ten minutes or so, Xu Zhonghui stood up from his seat again, this time he walked towards peace of mind, and after helping her up from her seat, the two left the bar straight away.
"Can you bring the surveillance footage back indoors, I want to see what Xu Zhonghui was doing during the time he was away?" Huang Fangyuan once again made a request to Manager Zhu.
Manager Zhu readily agreed as usual and immediately put it into action. After Huang Fangyuan took the mouse and keyboard from Manager Zhu again, he pressed the play button without hesitation and continued to watch.
Ge Bin always stood behind Huang Fangyuan, holding the back of the chair with one hand and the table with the other, bowing his back, and in order not to miss any frame in the surveillance video, he put his head as close to the screen as possible. He had been in this position for nearly an hour, but he didn't notice any discomfort in himself, and all his attention was intensely focused on the computer monitor in front of him.
Xu Zhonghui pushed the door open again, this time still walking straight to the bar, and after a whisper with the bartender, the bartender handed him a glass and turned to walk through the small door behind him. When the bartender walked back to the bar again, he had a thermos in his hand. He wanted to pour water for Xu Zhonghui, but he stopped him.
"Is this a thermos pot?" Huang Fangyuan pressed the pause button and asked the waiter standing next to Manager Zhu.
The waiter glanced at the computer monitor and replied in the affirmative.
"Our bar has always only served ice water to customers, and probably because Mr. Xu is a regular customer, the bartender made an exception to provide him with hot water."
Huang Fangyuan was silent after hearing this, and continued to watch the surveillance video.
Xu Zhonghui asked for the thermos pot from the bartender and began to pour water into the cup himself. When the water in the cup reached a quarter, he stopped filling the water, put down the thermos, and took a splint from his pocket and handed it to the bartender. The bartender was stunned, but politely took the splint with both hands and walked towards the cash register on the other side. After the bartender left, Xu Zhonghui picked up the water glass on the table and began to shake it. After shaking it for a while, he began to fill the cup with water again. This time, when the water in the cup reached three-quarters of the water, he lowered the thermos again, and it just so happened that the bartender returned to the bar again. In addition to the splint he still holds, he also has an extra barcode scanner in his hand. The bar replaces the splint in front of Mr. Hui. Xu Zhonghui glanced down, then took out his mobile phone and put it on the edge of the plywood. The bartender pointed the barcode scanner at Xu Zhonghui's mobile phone, and after a while, he walked back to the cash register with the code scanner and splints. Xu Zhonghui ignored the bartender's departure, and after reclaiming his phone, he continued to pick up the glass and start shaking, only this time he walked out the door while shaking.
"Please save these clips and we'll come back if necessary." After Huang Fangyuan watched the surveillance video, he turned to Manager Zhu and said, "In addition, we are here today to investigate, and I hope you can keep it a secret and not publicize it to the public." ”
"Of course, of course." Manager Zhu nodded like pounding garlic, "Don't worry, this is not a glorious thing, we won't show off everywhere." ”
I don't know if this Manager Zhu is too nervous or a little distracted, he seems to have heard the word "publicity" as "showing off" by Huang Fangyuan, and made a fuss.
Huang Fangyuan didn't break him, he just stood up slowly, moved his limbs, and stretched his muscles and bones.
"Manager Zhu, thank you very much for your cooperation. That's the end of our investigation today, and we hope that you will keep your promises. ”
As he spoke, Huang Fangyuan stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Manager Zhu.
In the end, Manager Zhu diligently personally sent Huang Fangyuan and Ge Bin to the door of the bar. Watching them go away, Manager Zhu breathed a long sigh of relief. When he turned around, he saw the waiter behind him, who had been as nervous as himself for more than an hour, and couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder to show sympathy and comfort.
"Boss, judging from this situation, if Xu Zhonghui is really the murderer in this case, he came to the 'Angel' bar after killing the nanny, and the time for him to kill Pan Zilong and burn his body will be postponed until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night after he will send Anxin home." On the way back to the office, Ge Bin once again thought about the time when Xu Zhonghui committed the crime, "It is not far from the Anjia Villa to the crime point on Xingfu Road, and it is reasonable for him to choose this way, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which is not only disgusting to An Huaisheng, but also convenient for himself to act." It's just that I've always had a doubt, has Pan Zilong been stupidly waiting for Xu Zhonghui near the crime scene during that time? ”
At this time, Huang Fangyuan also had many doubts in his heart, and there were still many clues that had not been resolved, and he didn't know how to answer Ge Bin's question.
