"Okay, I'll help you!" Tang Zhenguo said as he picked up a cyan stone from the roadside flower bed.

I smiled and said, "Zhenguo, do you think I need to use such a rude method to open the car door?" ”

Tang Zhenguo looked at the stone in his hand, then threw it on the ground again, clapped his hands and said, "Do you have a way?" ”

I didn't answer him directly, put on my gloves, walked to the cab door, and pulled the door handle casually.

"Click!" Something unexpected happened, and the door was easily opened. At this time, before I had time to think about this sudden situation, I heard Tang Zhenguo shouting in surprise on the side: "I'll go, Ouyang, your car door skills are really amazing!" ”

I shook my head, my face changed from surprise to solemnity, and said, "The doors are unlocked. ”

"Huh?" Tang Zhenguo also showed surprise, standing beside me, poking his head hard and looking into the car.

At this point, my brow furrowed, and my eyes and lights kept on the door. Because the moment I opened the car door, I found a black Huawei phone in the door compartment.

I carefully picked up the phone and found that it was out of battery, so I put it in my pocket and thought to myself: I wonder what clues can be found in this phone?

"Zhenguo, you are guarding outside the car, if there is a suspicious person in your field of vision, don't ask for a reason, just control it." I told Tang Zhenguo this, because I felt that this old Chang'an van with no locked door seemed to be carefully arranged here, and if there were suspicious characters around in the middle of the night, it was likely to be eyeliner, and it must be related to the murder of the bell tower.

Because from the professionalism of the killer, the place where the corpse transport vehicle was parked, and the flaws that deliberately existed in the case. I feel that this murder case has far exceeded the modus operandi of ordinary criminals, and is more like a crime game against detection. Although this idea is absurd, or my assumption that my profession is too dramatic, I cannot ignore this idea that has become a reality in my mind, and I must always be vigilant and deal with any unexpected events that may occur. This is a quality that I have developed over the years of my detective career, which not only allows me to rarely miss the clues of the case, but also ensures the safety of my life.

I first checked the cab, and what surprised me even more was that the car key was still inserted in the keyhole, which confirmed my idea even more obviously, this abandoned car that did not even pull out the key is a chess piece in the layout. I opened the co-pilot compartment again, and it was empty, as were the other places where I could store my belongings.

Then the middle part of the van was inspected, the passenger seat of the van was removed, and the middle part appeared empty, and it can be inferred from some of the indentations left on the pedal surface and some palm prints on the inner wall that the van had been converted into a passenger vehicle. The indentation is the imprint left by the small bench placed in the car after the passenger sits down. Most of those palm prints were also left by passengers. This kind of vehicle mostly exists in remote rural areas, and removing the seat is to facilitate the ride of more passengers and seek more benefits.

This kind of car, in general, will be old and dirty. But now this car, old is in line with it, but it is not dirty, and even to some extent, it is considered very clean.

From this point I can infer that this is a second-hand vehicle that has only been purchased for a short time, perhaps its original use was for passenger transportation, but after entering the second-hand car market, second-hand car dealers maintained it, and when it changed hands again, it became the current corpse truck.

When it comes to corpse trucks, I was guessing and not making a reasonable judgment. But now, I can prove that this is the corpse truck, and that it is the scene of the first crime, where the victim was killed.

First, and most obviously, there are obvious footprints under the wall where the pedals meet, and they are repeatedly pedaling, which is good evidence that the deceased struggled strongly before being strangled to death. One only needs to compare the footprints with the shoe prints of the deceased to draw conclusions.

Second, I put my nose close to the pedal and could smell the smell of urine on the pedal, which may have been left by the deceased's incontinence before he was strangled. This can also be compared with today's DNA technology. It is to extract DNA from cellular tissue fragments in urine and compare it with the DNA of the deceased.

Thirdly, the pedal extends in the direction of the door on the left side of the back seat, and there are obvious new marks left by the drag of heavy objects, and there are no other traces on the tracks, which should be the traces left by the killer dragging the deceased.

However, to my disappointment, although there were many signs that this was a corpse truck, there was no trace of the murderer, and of course, Tang Zhenguo, who was waiting outside the car, did not find any trace of a suspicious person.

The night was thick and cold, and there was no moonlight, but the police lights were shining like torches.

Lao Lu patted me on the shoulder, spit hot air in his mouth and said: "Ouyang, with you, you can still fish out this corpse truck in the middle of the night, your dedication and judgment to the case are not far from Sherlock Holmes." ”

I took a puff of cigarette and felt parched, and I didn't inflate myself because of Lao Lu's words, although the whole case has made a certain breakthrough, but it is still too far from the truth, I have no reason to swell, and there is no reason to relax.

Taking out the mobile phone found in the corpse truck, I handed it to Lao Lu and said: "This is found in the car, it is out of power, and it will be handed over to the technical department for analysis, maybe something new will be found." Also, check the origin of this corpse truck, and go around the second-hand car market, you may find it. ”

Lao Lu took the phone and said, "Okay! The health club's investigation has come out with results, and sure enough, there is a gym membership uniform that is the same hood as the murderer, I'll pick you up at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, let's go to the gym together. ”

I threw the cigarette butt on the ground, extinguished it with my foot, and nodded.

The mobile phone placed at the bedside rang, I connected it in a hazy way, and Lao Lu's very excited voice came from the mobile phone receiver: "There is extremely important information in the mobile phone, I will pick you up immediately, we have to change the itinerary and go to the Wansen Group." ”

The phone immediately hung up, and when I looked at the time, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and there were still three hours left before the agreed time with Lao Lu. It seems that the mobile phone found in the broken car did provide extremely important evidence to Lao Lu, otherwise he would not be like a chicken blood.

Putting on my clothes, I woke up Tang Zhenguo, who was snoring like thunder, his first reaction was to look at the time on his phone first, didn't say anything, picked up the mineral water bottle on the bedside table, took a sip of the remaining water inside, and then lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Going to go?" ”

I said, "Yes, Lao Lu is already on the way, and he is going to the Vincennes Group today." ”

Tang Zhenguo spat out a puff of cigarette and said, "Didn't you say that you would go to the gym...... Wait, there must be something in that phone that made us change our itinerary, didn't it? ”

"It's not a loss to be the first flying knife player, and the reaction is very fast! Eh, when will you put your knife stunt on the show? I said with some jokingness.

He smiled, took a cigarette and got dressed.

In the car, Lao Lu's habit of complaining about traffic jams is still the same, and the words "Ge Laozi" and "Immortal" in his mouth have not been broken. Of course, he also told me the latest situation.

Lao Lu handed me the mobile phone found in the car and said, "A video was found inside, you can watch it yourself!" ”

I took the phone and found that the phone did not have any password set, and it was unlocked as soon as I swiped, so I asked, "The phone password is unlocked by the technical department?" ”

Lao Lu said: "No. I didn't take it to the technical department at all, I found a charger, it turned on when it was charged, and there was no password on the phone, and there was no phone card in the phone. ”

I hummed and found the video file on my phone.

Open the video, the content surprised me and Tang Zhenguo, it was actually an indecent video of a burly man and a beautiful woman in the hotel, from the shooting point of view, it was obviously taken secretly, and from the video path, this video was not shot with this mobile phone, but was copied to the mobile phone later.

"Do the men and women in the video know their identities?" I asked.

Lao Lu said: "The woman doesn't know, the man is the CEO of Wansen Group, Wang Weisen." ”

Now I understand why Lao Lu changed his itinerary to go to Vincennes Group, and I also figured out some ambiguous things before.

Turning off my phone, I said, "It seems that the theft in Qin Wenyuan's home, and even his death, are related to this video." ”

Lao Lu said: "I guess the same way, but I still want to hear your opinion." ”

I said: "This video is a good illustration of the theft in Qin Wenyuan's home, why he lost his laptop, and why his desktop computer was seriously damaged, that is, someone wanted to destroy this video." And what urgently needs to destroy this video must be the hero and heroine in the video. Of course, assuming that the actor wants to destroy this video is a more reasonable explanation for the occurrence of these cases. ”

Tang Zhenguo nodded again and again when he heard this, and interjected: "I understand, what you mean is that Wang Weisen killed Qin Wenyuan and stole Qin Wenyuan's home, just for this video." ”

I said, "On the face of it, that's the most plausible explanation." However, there are still many doubts in this. ”

Lao Lu said: "Let's hear it." ”

I said, "The first and biggest doubt, how could this mobile phone end up in the corpse truck?" It is said that the murderer inadvertently dropped it, and I believe that he deliberately put it in the car. With such important evidence of the crime, how could the murderer deliberately put it in the car? Let's assume that Wang Weisen bought the murder, and the killer not only did not hand it over to Wang Weisen after getting the video footage that Wang Weisen urgently needed, but put such important evidence at the scene of the crime, which is obviously to leave the evidence to the police, so what is the purpose of doing so? I can't figure this out right now. ”

Lao Lu said: "You say this, it's really strange. ”

Tang Zhenguo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, kept shaking his head, and suddenly said loudly: "Could it be that the killer has a grudge against Wang Weisen?" ”

I tugged at my sleeve and said, "I can't rule it out." ”

At this time, there were some water marks on the car window, and I looked through the window to see that it was going to rain.
