Chapter 4 Suspects
When the sky was just dawning, Xiao Rongzheng and the two of them checked out. In the early morning, the mountains are covered with a thin layer of fog, in which the high-rise buildings of the city not far away are no longer real.
Xiao Rongzheng looked at Cheng Han who was concentrating on driving, her unpowdered face was smooth like a boiled egg with a shell peeled. Cheng Han, who was concentrating on looking ahead, did not pay attention to the gazes cast by the people around him.
But even if she was so close, Xiao Rongzheng felt that she really couldn't see through her. Yesterday's events appeared in her mind, she was calm and self-controlled, but she was very good at acting; She smiled at the corners of her mouth, polite and polite to everyone, but she had a sense of alienation that was difficult to get close to. He decided to wait for Professor Wang to return from the capital and pay a good visit to see who she was as a doctoral student.
When I entered the city, it gradually became crowded. Although it is still early in the morning, hard-working people have already begun to rush for life. The breakfast stall had long since been set up, and in the warm yellow light there was a still burning meat bun stove, next to the squeaky egg scones. The tofu brain that has just been scooped out of the large thermos bucket is white and tender, and then poured with the adjusted sauce, which is provoking the taste buds every minute. Although the sky is still a little gray, the breakfast stall is already full of people who get up early to make a living.
Cheng Han parked the car and motioned for Xiao Rongzheng to come down with her. She walked to each stall and packed beef pancakes, egg scones, meat buns, spicy soup, tofu brains and soy milk one by one.
She walked in front of her in a chic manner, Xiao Rongzheng followed behind all the way with those foods, and unconsciously filled a large box.
The office is quiet, and the air is filled with a strong smell of Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles mixed with a slight smell of sweat. Cheng Han shrugged his nose, didn't say anything, and put the food in his hand on the table. Xiao Rongzheng also smelled the smell when he came in, and hurriedly walked to the window, opening the window a small crack to ventilate, but it would not blow on his colleagues who were still sleeping.
Xu Ranran fell asleep with her head tilted back in her chair with her mouth open, and everyone else in the office also fell asleep in different shapes. Yesterday, the stone and the white pigeon brought back the little gangsters who had been inquiring about the news at the foot of Maofeng Mountain that day, and questioned them overnight, so they finally had a clue. And Xu Ranran and Xie Wencong went to investigate the second prison to find someone to interrogate, and later helped Xiao Rongzheng investigate the news of the 'Red Rooster', and they were also busy all night.
Cheng Han took out a beef roast cake and put it in front of Xu Ranran's nose, although her eyes hadn't opened yet, her nose shrugged with the movement of the baked cake, and she reached out to grab it. Cheng Han couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw her cute appearance. Xu Ranran opened his eyes, looked at the beef roast cake in front of him, grabbed it and took a big bite, and solved one-third of it at once. Cheng Han was afraid that she would choke, so he hurriedly brought soy milk to her mouth.
"Ah Han, you're back, I'm afraid that the boss will take you to a ravine and throw you away."
"It's okay, Officer Xiao is upright, even if he really hates a person, he won't use this kind of indiscriminate means." Cheng Han said, glanced at Xiao Rongzheng, and smiled.
The man lowered his head, put his hand to his mouth and coughed dryly.
"That's it! Xu Ranran, if you spread rumors about me again, you can go and run five kilometers! Dr. Cheng, look at her sharp teeth, it's good not to bully the gay men in our bureau, how can we bully people! ”
Xu Ranran looked straight at his boss's still unchanged face, as if he wanted to see some clues from his black face. But Xiao Rongzheng naturally drank tofu brain, and didn't care about her 'death review' at all. Xu Ranran looked at Cheng Han who was distributing breakfast on everyone's table unwillingly, and looked back and forth between the two of them suspiciously. It's just that he watched it for a long time, and no one paid attention to it, so he could only bite the baked cake in his hand fiercely.
The team members woke up for breakfast one after another, and the office was filled with the aroma of various foods. Shi Lei ate the big meat bun in his hand while reporting to Xiao Rongzheng.
"Captain, the three thugs we brought back said that they opened the post bar by mistake. They just wanted to try their luck and see if they could find anything valuable from the dead to sell. ”
"That's what I said, but it takes time for me to crack that sticker, and it's very tight, and it's impossible for them to go in with shit luck easily! They didn't tell the truth at all! We'll ask them later! The white pigeon on the side took a sip of Hu spicy soup, a little unwilling.
This small girl is one of the best IT talents in the bureau, and often cracks some difficult cybercrimes. When people have talents, their hearts will naturally go up. This case made her frustrated, and now she can't wait to beat up the three people inside to ask the truth.
"Aren't you fooling around! None of them are suspects yet, so how can there be such an interrogation. In a moment, you go and bring some breakfast to the people's houses, and send them back. Xiao Rongzheng said sharply.
"But the boss ......" the white pigeon wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Rongzheng waving his hand.
"After sending them back, you send a few people to keep an eye on them, and if they really have a problem, they will soon be exposed. White pigeon you continue to crack that crypto website, the sooner the better. ”
"Yes!"
Cheng Han listened to their conversation, casually flipped through the transcripts of the three gangsters yesterday, and looked at the content of the printed post, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "As far as I know, there are corpses on the dark web that are specially sold to people with special fetishes, and the price is very expensive. The three men may be telling the truth, they do want to take something from the deceased and sell it, but not a small thing, but a whole thing. ”
Listening to Cheng Han's words, everyone stopped moving in their hands and looked at her with some surprise.
"You're saying they're going to steal the corpse?" Xiao Rongzheng reacted and asked.
Cheng Han nodded and continued, "It is true that they should be monitored, but they should only be at the bottom of this pyramid. For such special 'goods', buyers generally book in advance and pay a deposit. Now that this case is getting bigger, the buyer should have a move to get in touch with them. ”
"So by monitoring them, we will naturally know who the buyer is!" Cheng Han picked up the soy milk in his hand and drank it, looking at everyone with a smile and a word.
Xiao Rongzheng looked at Cheng Han who was smiling silently in front of him, and she looked like she was pushing the cup and changing the lamp at 'Supremacy' yesterday, smiling and smiling. I can't help but sigh, how many secrets does this girl have? When Cheng Han was about to look at himself, he quickly shifted his gaze and asked Xie Wencong, who was still eating.
"Lao Xie, did you get anything from going to the prison yesterday?"
Xie Wencong shook his head a little frustratedly, "That Hu Qinmian insisted that he had a special habit and wanted to stimulate it, so he stole it." It's all the same as when he confessed his sins, and he didn't say anything if he asked again. ”
"Well, it seems that I have to go there myself. By the way, how did the guy I asked you to check yesterday doing? ”
"Of course it's clear!" Xie Wencong said, casting his computer screen onto the screen behind the whiteboard, on which a picture of a man appeared. The man on the screen has good facial features, looks like a gentleman, and is wearing a high-priced suit, and he looks like a successful person.
"Hong Ji, nicknamed 'Red Rooster', is 35 years old, graduated from Southwest Medical College in 2009 and is now a director of the leading pharmaceutical company in City A. So far, 80% of the medical equipment in the large and small hospitals in City A has been taken from his company, and in addition, there are some special drugs for treating serious diseases. After saying that, he changed to another photo.
"This is Hong Gi's wife, named Li Su. is his classmate in medical school, the two started from scratch together, the relationship is very good, and it can be said that the couple is in love with outsiders, but Li Su took a walk on the mountain near his home in May 2016, but never came back. At that time, the rescue team searched for three days and three nights but could not find it, and finally concluded that it was missing, leaving Hongji alone at home. ”
"That's a poor man, too." The white pigeon couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
Xu Ranran snorted coldly, "No matter how pitiful it is, it can't be an excuse for him to violate the law, right!" ”
"Okay, don't you two start infighting, don't you think Li Su is a little familiar?" Xiao Rongzheng asked Xie Wencong to put the photos of the two victims with Li Su's.
"Don't you think the three of them are alike?"
"Boss, when you say that, it's true. The three of them are all long-haired black beauties with a slightly powdered temperament. It is said that beauty is in the bones and not in the skin, so it is these three who are talking about it. At first glance, it doesn't look very similar, but the more you look at it, the more similar the temperament becomes. Xu Ranran exclaimed.
"And we got the information yesterday that Hong Ki was Mei Mei's last guest before her death, and it is very likely that he was the last person she saw before she died. Stone and white dove, you still send those three people back as planned. Xu Ranran, Lao Xie, and Dr. Cheng, you come with me to meet this Hongji for a while! ”
Several people received the order and immediately split up. Cheng Han habitually walked to his car and was about to get into the car, but Xiao Rongzheng gently grabbed his wrist and walked to the police car next to him.
"Dr. Cheng, today is not a disguised investigation, so just take the police car." After speaking, Xiao Rongzheng got into the cab.
Cheng Han said "oh", didn't say anything more, and went to the back to sit with Xu Ranran.
The car started, Cheng Han sat in the back seat, his eyes looked out the window in a daze, and Xu Ranran on the side leaned on her shoulder and closed his eyes to recuperate. Although this is not the first time she has been in a police car, it is the first time that she has taken on the role of an investigator and is no longer a family member of the victim. She looked out the window and thought to herself, it seems that she hasn't been to see Cheng Xu for a long time. When this case is done, I will go and see him.
"Dangdang Dang"
"Come in!" As soon as a few people entered the office, a strong smell of sandalwood came to their nostrils. Not far away, a Buddha statue sits in the middle of a mahogany square table, and the incense table in front of it is filled with seasonal fruits and fresh pastries for offerings. A man in a gray robe was kneeling on the futon in front of the case, folding his hands and reciting the scriptures in a low voice, not stopping because of the visitor. The four of them didn't bother, just stood there quietly and waited for him to finish.
After a while, the man got up, smiled and invited a few people to sit down, brought a purple clay pot, and filled the tea in front of them apologetically.
"I'm really sorry to keep a few landscapes waiting. However, the test of chanting is concentration. It's really hard for me to get up in the middle of reading, and I ask for your understanding. ”
When the man speaks, he is modest and polite, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, even if a little resentment just now has been bred because of waiting, it has disappeared at this moment.
Xiao Rongzheng said a few politely, and then went straight to the point, "Mr. Hong, in fact, we are here this time because we have a case that we want to ask you to cooperate with us to go back to the police station for investigation. ”
"Oh? It seems that it should be a big case, otherwise how could even Officer Xiao be alarmed! However, I have a very important shareholders' meeting in 20 minutes, and I am afraid that it will take more than 20 minutes from here to your police station. So, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back with you. Hong Ji took a sip of tea in his cup and sighed.
Xiao Rongzheng looked the gentle man in front of him up and down, chuckled, picked up the purple clay pot, and added tea to Hong Ji's cup.
"The mountain is not me, I will come to the mountain. A law-abiding citizen like Mr. Hong would have helped us investigate if he didn't have the conditions to create conditions, right? Xiao Rongzheng glanced at Hong Ji with a smile and continued.
"So, you shouldn't object to us asking you a few questions here. You can rest assured that you will not delay your next shareholders' meeting. Hong Ji looked at the man in front of him, who was smiling but had a cold light in his eyes, and didn't refuse. Xu Ranran and Xie Wencong took out a pen and paper and began to record. Hongji closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the chair opposite, and turned the rosary in his hand with his hands on his abdomen.
"Mr. Hong, do you know the two ladies Mei Mei and Liu Yiyi?" Xiao Rongzheng asked.
"Acquaintance."
"I'm telling you, both of them recently died, murdered." Hearing the word murder, the rosary in Hongji's hand paused for a moment, but soon turned again.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"That's right! But someone said that you saw Mei Mei a week ago, that is, before she was killed, what do you say? ”
"I've seen it, but it's just a little bit of small talk, and then of course we have a relationship. After all, we are in love with each other, you love me, don't we? The man chuckled.
"Oh, indeed. But we also found out that it was also a week ago, you made a total of two payments to Mei Mei's private account, how do you explain? ”
"The two are happy, I will give my woman some living expenses, I won't be unreasonable!" Hong Gi still had a light smile on his face, but his slightly sneering words were incompatible with his light gray robe and the rosary in his hand.
"So did you know that she took the money to a plastic surgery hospital called Naomi and got a botox?"
"Officer Xiao, you're really interesting. As I just said, this is my living allowance for her, and she doesn't have to report to me how she wants to spend it. Hongji opened his eyes, raised his wrist, looked at the time, and his face began to feel a little impatient.
"So, you and Liu Yiyi are also in love?"
"I know what you're trying to say! But a man like me can just wave as many women as he wants, but I don't. I have been guarding my wife for three years, and she has not heard from me, but some time ago she gave me a dream, saying that she would not come back, and that I was afraid that I would be alone, and asked me to find someone who knew hot and cold. At the end of the day, they're just stand-ins for my wife. ”
At the end of the man's speech, his eyes began to redden, and his voice choked.
Xiao Rongzheng was silent and didn't ask any more, but Cheng Han on the side suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Hong, do you know? When Mei Mei died, the weather did not turn cold, it was hot. She was thrown into the sea, and her body floated for almost three days before it was found, and the body had already been hit by the reef and was not good yet. And Liu Yiyi is better, there is only one wound on her body, and everything else is intact, especially her face, as if she is still alive. Cheng Han said as he stared at Hong Ji.
I saw that when he heard these words, even if he tried his best to cover them up, there was no way to block the earlobes that were slowly turning red. His cheeks were slowly flushing, the wings of his nose were dilating outward, and his breathing was noticeably shorter than before. She wanted to say it down, but was forcefully interrupted by Hongji.
"Excuse me! It's time, I'm going to a meeting. If you don't have any concrete evidence, please go back! With the evidence, then it is very welcome. Hongji got up and opened the door, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and asked a few people to leave.
Xiao Rongzheng glanced at Cheng Han, saw her smile and nodded, so he didn't say anything more and left with everyone.
On the way back, none of the four of them spoke, but Xu Ranran couldn't help it and asked Cheng Han.
"Ah Han, why did you suddenly mention the death of the two victims to Hong Ji just now?"
Cheng Han didn't answer her immediately, but asked rhetorically, "Then when I asked him this just now, did you think there was anything wrong with him?" ”
"Something is wrong? I felt his ears turn red all of a sudden. ”
"Yes, in addition to the redness of his earlobes, his cheeks were also red, and the wings of his nose were dilated, his breathing was quick, and he was sweating slightly. Do you know what this is a manifestation? Xu Ranran shook her head in confusion.
At this time, Xiao Rongzheng replied, "This is lust." ”
"Yes, it's lust."
Xu Ranran was a little incredulous, "Are you saying that Hong Ji has a lust for the death state of the person who just died?" ”
Cheng Han smiled and did not deny it. "And as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong formalin, and even that heavy sandalwood couldn't cover it. Let's continue with our post in the morning, I think Hong Ji may be the buyer, or will he be the author of that post? ”
"All we have to do now is find the evidence! However, at present, it seems that Hong Ji is the most suspicious, after all, the two deceased had a close relationship with him during their lifetimes. But if he is the murderer, the forensic doctor did not find any traces of the two deceased being violated after death, so the DNA of the murderer was not extracted. Xiao Rongzheng said.
Cheng Han's fingers tapped on the window frame, and her brain recalled every detail that had happened in the past two days, as if she had thought of something, she leaned forward and asked Xiao Rongzheng, who was driving.
"Officer Xiao, do you think the murderer will still commit crimes?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, so we have to find out the suspect as soon as possible."
Cheng Han listened, sat back in his seat, and asked while playing with Xu Ranran's clothes.
"Officer Xiao, do you think Miss Kikyo is good-looking? Do you men like this kind of woman with long black hair, beautiful but not demonic? ”
"No matter how good-looking the girl in that place is, it's not suitable to marry home......" Xiao Rongzheng said as he spoke, and suddenly lost his voice. Cheng Han looked at his slowly clenched hand on the steering wheel, and smiled knowingly with him in the rearview mirror.
