Chaos Era, Outside the Spring Festival - The Man in the Well
2. Identities that surfaced
The police officer in charge of interrogating Aunt Lin's family had already told Zhou Sen about the basic situation of Aunt Lin's family on the phone. Zhou Sen hung up the phone again and again, and walked to Aunt Lin's hospital room.
It was only 4 hours from noon to the hospital, and the family obviously did not wake up in the nightmare, and according to the nurse, Aunt Lin was reluctant to go back to her home now.
Well, it seems that the interrogation was conducted in such a way as to try not to mention the word corpse parts.
Zhou Sen walked in front of Aunt Lin, this is a middle-aged woman with a fortune, her yellow and black skin shows the hard work she usually does, Zhou Sen looked at Aunt Lin and smiled gently.
The man sitting next to her, with the same dull gaze, was discussing with Aunt Lin about preparing to go home. With a somewhat resigned expression, he said: "The person is fine, but he is frightened, and there is no need to be hospitalized." ”
Looking at Aunt Lin's pouting mouth and increasingly gloomy face, her voice became smaller and smaller. It seems that the head of the family is obviously this Aunt Lin.
Zhou Sen smiled and shook his body towards Aunt Lin, and then said with a smile, "Hello." ”
Aunt Lin had already noticed the people who came in, but she was not in the mood to look at others for a while. At this time, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Sen who came in, polite, with fresh hair, wearing a white shirt and clean jeans, which instantly gave a good impression.
This reminded me of my son, and I felt a little more comfortable. It's a pity that my son is still working in the field, and he is usually very busy, and the old man doesn't have time to answer the phone in the afternoon. Although there is no need to alarm him to go home, he still thinks that it would be good if his son was by his side.
Thinking that it was a little uncomfortable in his heart, he looked up at the person who came: "Which one are you?" ”
Zhou Sen showed her the documents: I just came to see you.
"Oh, then sit there," he said, snorting the stool next to him.
At this time, Tang Chengyu and Luo Jiawen also came in. Aunt Lin looked at these two dusty people curiously this time. Tang Chengyu looked at Zhou Sen who was sitting on the edge of the bed and immediately came back to his senses and said, "We are his friends, let's come and see you together." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Luo Jiawen forward, Tang Chengyu's hippie smiling face immediately became familiar with people, and Luo Jiawen was also very generous, after all, he was a reporter and was good at dealing with news parties.
Zhou Sen began to get to the point: "Aunt Lin, I want to ask you, have you offended anyone recently?" ”
Luo Jiawen didn't expect Zhou Sen to enter the topic so directly, and he really paid attention to efficiency.
And the amazing thing is that Aunt Lin didn't reject it at all, and immediately replied: "No, my temper is hot, but usually the neighbors know that there are many things that don't care about and can't quarrel." Last month, the water in my rice field was intercepted by Wang Laosan, and he and I stood on the ridge and scolded each other. Isn't this second king taking revenge on me? ”
Zhou Sen raised his forehead and continued: "What about this? Anything else? Has there ever been a very important thing that has happened that has made others hold a grudge against you. ”
Aunt Lin lowered her head and thought about it, her eyes flickered left and right in a panic, but she immediately shook her head again: "Impossible, I haven't offended anyone, comrade policeman." ”
"Do you know three young people of the same age, all in their 30s, who are not yet married? One of them was a woman."
"Three? Not married at 30? No, we all got married when we were about 25 years old. Except for the silly boy of the Wang Jun family, come again, it will be my stubborn son. ”
"Your son? What's your son's name? By the way, why didn't your son come today? ”
"His name is Lin Ping, he works in Z City, he is usually very busy, but his wife made a phone call in the afternoon and didn't answer, so he didn't call again for fear of disturbing his work."
"Oh, so what does he do?"
"I don't know very much about this, I just know that it's a computer. He doesn't usually talk to us about work, and besides, we don't know. ”
"And when was the last time you had a call?"
"It's been 3 or 4 days, right? He doesn't usually take the initiative to contact the two of us old people, but when we two old people have nothing to do and think about our son, he will call him, and he sometimes answers, sometimes he doesn't. ”
"Oh" Zhou Sen paused, he didn't know why he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and had a doubt in his heart: "Does your son have a scar on his abdomen?" ”。
"Yes, I got it when I was a kid and I went up to the mountains to work, what's wrong, by the way, how do you know? No, officer, why do you keep asking my son? ”
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just curious to learn about it by the way."
"That's good, that's good, I thought my son had offended someone outside, alas! You said that you can go off topic by asking a question. You have to catch that murderer, it's so inhumane, how can you do such a thing......." Aunt Lin began to chatter.
Zhou Sen's brows furrowed and interrupted Aunt Lin's words: "If you remember something that you have offended someone, call me." As he spoke, he put a business card for Aunt Lin, then stood up and walked out.
Tang Chengyu and Luo Jiawen also hurriedly followed.
Zhou Sen dialed the number in the bureau: "Have you found other corpses?" ”
"Nope."
"And what about the identity of the deceased?"
"One of the male deceased initially suspected that Wang Xiaodong, the son of Wang Jun of Wang Village, Wang Xiaodong was an intellectually retarded person, his mother died early, and his father found a good friend seven or eight years ago, usually his father was always on the good side, and rarely cared about Wang Xiaodong, Wang Xiaodong was responsible for guarding the fruit trees and some cattle and sheep in the mountains behind Wang Village, and he usually did not see his father for four or five days. But whether the deceased is Wang Xiaodong will have to wait for the DNA report to come out. The officer said on the phone.
"You can continue to investigate Wang Xiaodong, but focus on Lin Ping, Aunt Lin's son, one of the deceased is likely to be him."
"Oh, okay."
After Zhou Sen hung up the phone, he dialed Lin Ping's phone number from Aunt Lin, and the phone was normal, but no one answered.
Tang Chengyu, who came to the front, said: "No need to fight, just now I have asked my colleagues in Z City to check Lin Ping." Lin Ping in the West District of Z City Furniture City as an e-commerce agent, is to open an online store, usually customers as long as they place orders online, Lin Ping according to the model requirements corresponding to the manufacturer delivery, their own earning the difference in the middle, as long as you are good at operating network sales, this is a risk-free and high-income industry. Therefore, even if Lin Ping doesn't go out for three or four days, it won't cause the strangeness of the people around him. ”
Zhou Sen nodded after listening, and his eyes fell on Luo Jiawen next to him. Luo Jiawen immediately gave a big smile and said: "I am Luo Jiawen from the news agency, I am responsible for this tracking report, just call me Xiaowen in the future." ”
Zhou Sen nodded understandingly. It's not the first time to handle a case with reporters, most of the reporters I usually contact are in a hurry, eager to dig out the truth of the case immediately, and it is rare to think that Luo Jiawen has such a calm and relaxed temperament. This is a smart and calm girl. This also saves me a lot of trouble.
The three of them drove to Z City and followed the clues provided by the police station to the place where Lin Ping lived.
An ordinary residential building, this kind of building is usually rented out to people who work or do small businesses around, and the cement corridor is a bit narrow and gray. Lin Ping lives in Room 501 on the 5th floor.
The three knocked on the door, but there was no sound in the door. Zhou Sen chose to break in.
Entering the room, the pungent smell of food spoilage made the three of them frown.
It's a one-bedroom, one-room layout, and the vermicelli and a large bowl of spicy tang on the coffee table in the living room have rotted, and it's summer, attracting countless flies to gather there. The bins were piled up with used food boxes and wine bottles. The occupant of the house was absent from the room for at least 3 days, which coincided with the time of the victim's death.
Zhou Sen sniffed carefully, there was no smell of corpses or blood in the room, and when he opened the door, the quilt on the bed was messy, and there was no one in the room. But there is a mobile phone on the bedside table that is connected to the data cable and is charging. Zhou Sen tried to call Lin Ping's phone.
The phone rang, but it was silent. Zhou Sen hung up the phone, and the phone showed 15 missed calls.
Zhou Sen put on forensic gloves, picked up the mobile phone at the bedside and checked it carefully, there were 2 calls made by himself, one was deposited by his mother, which should have been called by Aunt Lin, 10 were manufacturers with various names, and the other 2 had no names and belonged to suspicious numbers.
Tang Chengyu walked up to Zhou Sen and said, "There are no traces of a fight in the room, and there are only one person's footprints in the room. ”
Zhou Sen pointed to the two numbers on his mobile phone: "Check these two numbers." ”
Initially, it can only be inferred that Lin Ping is missing, and this room obviously cannot be used as a murder scene, so he just hurriedly reported the case to the local police officer. Luo Jiawen was taking photos of the scene, carefully avoiding the garbage on the ground. This guy took all the photos of the evidence collection at the scene for them.
Zhou Sen looked at the room with a frown.
This is not the crime scene, but where is the real crime scene?
Zhou Sen's eyes fell on the mobile phone on the coffee table, the mobile phone was connected to the data cable to keep it charged, perhaps because of Lin Ping's work relationship and frequent contact with his parents, the murderer didn't want others to know that Lin Ping had disappeared. Mute is to prevent frequent customer service calls from harassing nearby neighbors.
Zhou Sen looked at such a mobile phone, and always felt that something was weird, but he couldn't say it.
Zhou Sen thought wildly, Luo Jiawen suddenly pointed to a magazine on the coffee table and said: Is this Lin Ping a fan of Zhong Feng?
Sure enough, there were a lot of newspapers scattered on the coffee table, and there was a magazine, and the magazine turned to a page of news about celebrities.
Zhou Sen looked at the stars in the magazine in a daze, some of them were familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, Luo Jiawen seemed to see Zhou Sen's confusion, and explained: "Zhong Feng, a third-rate star, has played some small characters in several big movies, and what made him famous was the long-term peach news and the drunk driving and escape news last month. But according to insider sources, he seems to be the son of the deputy mayor of J City, and he has maintained an ambiguous relationship with the queen of the rich people of Moon City for a long time. ”
Zhou Sen was just about to say something, but the phone rang, it was the phone of the captain of the bureau.
"The DNA comparison came out, and Lin Ping was indeed one of the victims."
"What about Wang Xiaodong?"
Zhou Sen didn't know why, Aunt Lin's appearance appeared in his mind, and one of the corpses was her son, and Zhou Sen couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.
"No, the other two are Zhong Feng and Wang Man."
