Chapter 100: Shadows of the Alley

Liu Yang nodded half understanding and half confused, "I know, is he ......?"

Gu Song continued: "In this world, some men are more delicate than women. At the COS Exhibition, it refers to the use of costumes, accessories, props, and makeup to play characters in anime works and games. Some pseudo-mothers can be fake, whether it's his looks, the sound he makes, or the actions he makes, it makes it difficult for you to tell if he's a man. ”

"Yes, I went to the COS exhibition with a female classmate when I was studying." Trainee police officer Xiao Gao listened with interest on the side, and couldn't help but interject, "Anyway, in this year, it's not necessarily girls who are beautiful and cute. Some men are more enchanted than women. ”

"So...... Liu Yang looked at the image on the computer with a puzzled face, and said with a smile on his face, "This guy is really a man?" ”

"Of course." Gu Song pointed out a freeze-frame enlarged picture to Liu Yang, "For such a professional pseudo-girl, we can only distinguish from certain details through the video. For example, a man's Adam's apple will protrude more than a woman's. Another example is that men have wider shoulders, less shoulder slope, large curvature of the collarbone, and a significant bulge in appearance. In women, the shoulders are narrower, with a greater shoulder slope and less curvature of the clavicle. In addition, you can also observe the details such as knuckles. In short, once you break the preconceived notions, it's relatively easy to figure out the problems. ”

"Holy." Liu Yang couldn't help but scold, "No wonder I couldn't find this guy in the women's pile before, it turns out that he is an out-and-out old man!" ”

"I think it's only a matter of time before I find him. The key is where he got the stolen child. ”

"If we can find him, we can find the lost child, right?"

"You're wrong." Xia Shi said to Liu Yang very seriously, "If it is really a trafficker organization that steals the child, then the person responsible for stealing and abducting generally does not know the whereabouts of the child, and this can ensure the relative safety of the criminal chain." Because stealing and abduction are more likely to cause problems, once these people are caught by the police, in order to ensure that the information is not further leaked, they will adopt corresponding self-protection mechanisms. We are definitely going to bring this man back for interrogation, but we can't predict exactly how much valuable information we can get from him. ”

After listening to Xia Shi's words, Liu Yang was a little depressed. "I see what you mean. But at the moment, we don't have anything else to do with it. ”

Gu Song nodded and said, "Find this person first and bring it back for interrogation." That's right. Have you checked if there have been any similar cases of babies being stolen in R City in the near future? ”

"I probably looked it up, and in addition to the one I'm investigating now, there are two other cases. But neither of those cases happened in the hospital. ”

"Where did you steal that?" Gu Song asked.

Liu Yang replied: "One is in the square and the other is on the street, although the location is different, but the modus operandi is very similar. In the first case, for example, a middle-aged woman pushed a stroller and took her grandson for a walk in the square. During this period, she met several acquaintances and did not take care of the baby in the car when chatting with them. When she finished chatting, she turned around to find that the stroller was empty and the child had been taken away. The modus operandi in the second case is similar, which is to take advantage of the parents' momentary negligence to achieve their goal of stealing the child. ”

"I think ......" Gu Song silently lit a cigarette and said thoughtfully, "There should be far more than these two cases of stealing children, and the places where the cases occurred are not necessarily limited to R City, there may be similar cases in the surrounding counties, towns, and even nearby cities." It is estimated that the information reported is relatively scattered, and these cases have not attracted enough attention. I think we should ...... next" Before Gu Song's words were finished, he found that Xia Shi was looking at him with a very strange look. "What's wrong?" He wondered, "Is there anything strange on my face?" ”

"Nope." Xia Shi shook his head, looking like he wanted to say something, "You go on. ”

Gu Song frowned unhappily and continued: "We should summarize this scattered information, maybe we can find out some key clues from it, such as their active locations, habitual crime patterns, and crime frequency, etc. ”

"It's Team Joe's job to find a gang of human traffickers." Xia Shi reminded, "What we have to do now is to catch that trafficker killer as soon as possible." ”

Gu Song smiled disdainfully, took two puffs of cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said to Xia Shi very seriously: "I will arrest the human trafficker killer, and I will also take care of the human trafficking gang." After speaking, he asked Xia Shi rhetorically, "Don't you want to do this, Officer Xia?" ”

Xia Shi looked at him, thinking about his words, although he didn't answer, there was a rare smile of excitement on his cold face.

After chatting in the office for a while, Liu Yang said that he would take the time to sort out the information about the theft of babies in and around the city of R, after all, it is their common duty to fight crime.

Gu Song and Liu Yang exchanged contact information, telling him that once he found the fake nurse, he must inform him of the latest progress of the case. Although their current tasks are different, in the final analysis, they are all related to human traffickers, and in the end, these cases can be related to each other.

Out of the F sub-bureau, Gu Song immediately pulled Xia Shi and asked, "What do you mean by looking at me with such strange eyes just now?" ”

"It's nothing, I just remember that you quit smoking a few years ago, and vowed never to touch this thing again in your life. Why are you addicted to smoking again? ”

"This ......" Gu Song was speechless for a while, and was thinking about how to answer, when Xia Shi asked him a more difficult question, "I said you, what have you experienced over there in Liangshan?" Why do I feel that you are different now? ”

Gu Song laughed dryly twice, and asked half-jokingly, "What's the difference?" Have you become more handsome, or have you become more powerful? ”

"Neither." Xia Shi shook his head slightly, "I feel like you've matured." ”

"Really?" Gu Song smiled self-deprecatingly, and he didn't know whether Xia Shi's words were positive or negative. With his hands in his pockets, he looked up at the clear clear sky, and countless sad and sad memories of the past passed through his heart like lightning.

A spring breeze blew, ruffling his jet-black soft hair and blowing off the last few peach blossoms on the tree. The swallows flew into the sky with a cry of joy, and how many lost lives had been dormant at the end of the world. "If I have experienced so many things and have not matured, then how many deaths I need to witness with my own eyes, and how many helpless partings I need to go through before I can deeply realize the cruelty of this world......"

Xia Shi didn't answer, and he didn't ask any more questions. When he saw Gu Song's sad and lonely look, he suddenly felt a strange feeling.

Half an hour later, the two came to the scene of the "4.7 Homicide". A cordon is drawn at the door of room 103. Because there was nothing important inside, and no trace of value was found, there was only one policeman guarding the door.

After briefly explaining their intentions, the two bypassed the cordon and entered Room 103.

Except for the two bodies, which had been taken away by the police, everything in the room remained in its original state, messy, dirty, and the air smelled stale and unpleasant. On the folding table on the right hand side of the door was moldy and spoiled bread, and a few flies were falling on the edge of the instant noodle bucket. Two stainless steel rice bowls that have gone through vicissitudes and witnessed all the sadness and sadness are still placed in the center of the table, and the change contained in them is exchanged for their beautiful and precious childhood by two lovely children, and the smell of blood, sweat and tears can be faintly smelled......

Thinking of the pain and suffering experienced by the two children, Gu Song's heart was extremely heavy. If it weren't for the policeman's cloak that constrained his concept, he really wanted to say to the murderer, "Well done, such a devil is innocent." ”

After a cursory glance at the environment in the living room, Gu Song walked towards the innermost bedroom, where Zhou Tiancheng was killed. The door was open, and there was a rustling sound from inside. Gu Song suddenly became vigilant, thinking to himself, could there be someone here?

Sure enough, as soon as he pushed the door in, he saw a scruffily dressed man squatting at the head of the bed with his back to him, seemingly rummaging through the bedside table.

"Who?" Gu Song asked.

The man was taken aback, and immediately stopped the movement in his hand and glanced back at Gu Song. It was a middle-aged man, about the same age as the victim, with a beard like Santa Claus.

"Don't move, police." Gu Song said loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly jumped onto the windowsill beside him, opened the window and jumped out, his movements so agile that they were completely disproportionate to his sheer size.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Song also quickly followed. But as soon as he jumped onto the windowsill, his wound began to hurt violently, and he remembered that he had just fought with those troublemakers at noon today. It was this pause, and the man had already rushed into the alley and ran away. Gu Song scolded secretly, gritted his teeth and wanted to follow.

At this time, Xia Shi had already come to the bedroom from the living room, he pulled Gu Song off the windowsill, and said loudly: "You wait for me here, I'll catch him!" ”

"Xia Shi, your uncle's ......" Because Xia Shi used too much force, Gu Song fell to the ground hard, and the back of his head was still knocked on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, the new and old injuries on his body hurt together, and the pain made him tears almost flow.
