Chapter 69: Blurry Video
The wall clock on the wall points to 7:30, one step closer to the allotted 24-hour time.
The door was opened, and the cleaning aunt walked in with a broom.
One night passed, and the conference room was messy, but it took a while to clean up.
The two got up to make room for the cleaning aunt.
The morning sun is slowly peeking out from the mountain peaks in the distance, and the whole ancient city is waking up.
Behind him was the sound of the cleaning aunt cleaning up the room, and that sound gave Yi Tian inspiration.
"Wang Tong, could that sound be the sound of a cleaner sweeping the floor?"
Wang Tong suddenly realized: "Yes, you are right, I always feel that this voice is very familiar, it turns out to be the sound of sweeping the floor, or the sound of sweeping the street." ”
"That is, the cleaner who was sweeping the street in the early hours of last night must have known that place."
This range has narrowed down a lot all of a sudden.
The cleaner was quickly found, Lao Zhang, a sanitation worker in his 50s at the sanitation office in F City.
It stands to reason that cleaners usually start cleaning at three or four o'clock in the morning, but Lao Zhang and his daughter-in-law both work in the sanitation center.
In the past two days, his daughter-in-law was sick and could not go to work, and the work of the two fell on his head.
So he had to come out and clean a little earlier than the others.
Each sanitation worker has his own area, and although the area for two people is not small, it is not difficult to find the place on the video.
It's not easy to communicate with Lao Zhang, he is a deaf and mute person.
Liu Xing compared with him for a long time, and he didn't understand what he wanted to express.
The leader of the sanitation station was also confused, saying that his daughter-in-law usually took it, and the communication was much smoother.
Did Lao Zhang notice the clown in the video? Liu Xing and Yi Tian followed Lao Zhang home.
With Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law as a translator, the communication is much smoother.
Surprisingly smooth, Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law said that Lao Zhang did see the clown, and the clown also greeted him.
At that time, he was cleaning on the Forbidden City Road on the pedestrian street, and in the middle of the night a person dressed in a particularly peculiar way came, dressed in red, with a white face and a big red mouth, which was really scary at night.
So Lao Zhang paid special attention to this person.
He walked to the lamp pole on the side of the road in the Forbidden City, first beckoned to Lao Zhang not far away, and grinned.
Then he took out his mobile phone and took out a call, and after hanging up the phone, a young man happened to come over.
The two of them said something over there, Lao Zhang was a deaf and mute man, of course he couldn't hear it.
Anyway, the weirdo leaned against the lamp pole and asked the young man to take a picture.
When Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law said this, Lao Zhang took out a hundred-yuan bill from her pocket.
After communication, this hundred-yuan bill was stuffed into Lao Zhang's hand by the clown.
After stuffing the money, the young man and the clown left the Forbidden City Road in different directions.
In this way, young people and clowns are not all the way.
Coincidentally, behind the Forbidden City Road is the Tianfutang Cathedral, and the clown at that time left in the direction of the Tianfutang Cathedral.
Is that 100 dollar bill trying to convey a message? Liu Xing held it in his hand, a half-new banknote, and didn't see anything wrong.
It is necessary to search for the Tianfutang Cathedral, however, two hours have passed, and the corners of the Tianfutang have been searched, and there is still no white autumn.
So what does the clown mean by giving the place of this video, a pedestrian street that is not too long, and on both sides are some shops with local characteristics.
One of them is a surveillance camera installed in a shop, and its monitoring position is exactly where you can see the place in the video.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the figure of the clown appeared in the surveillance, he came from the direction of Tianfutang, and Lao Zhang was sweeping the floor not far away.
Similar to Lao Zhang's description, the clown first observed the surroundings in this position, and then beckoned to Lao Zhang.
At this time, a young man came in the same direction, and the young man was stopped by the clown and took this video.
The young man was dressed as a waiter at a nearby restaurant, presumably passing by on his way from work.
The police also found the young man, who said that the clown at the time just asked him to take a video, and there was nothing superfluous to say, so he could not provide more clues.
The police once again expanded the search area, with the Forbidden City Road as the central point within a three-kilometer radius.
Someone proposed to call up the monitoring probe at the entrance of the Forbidden City Road, and it was naturally clear how the clown came about and how he went.
Yi Tian didn't think this move was of any use, if the clown could make such a low-level mistake, he wouldn't be a clown.
Sure enough, the surveillance closest to the entrance of the Forbidden City Road was all stopped during that time period.
Yi Tian called up the video again and watched it repeatedly, this time he found that the posture of the shadow in the image was a little weird, the shadow of the clown leaning on the lamp pole, and the bulge of the clown hat was a little strange, which was smaller than the other horns of the hat.
By zooming in on the video screenshot, I finally saw that it was one of the clown's fingers, a finger pointing towards the sky.
The direction of the finger is exactly the light box on the pole.
Is there the answer the police are looking for in that lightbox?
There was indeed something on the top of the light box, a piece of paper money that had been taped to it.
Paper money?
The idea of the clown is indeed different from ordinary people, what does this piece of paper money represent?
Is it a provocation to Yi Tian? Or is it a prediction of Bai Qiu's fate? Or does it mean something else?
Yi Tian said to Wang Tong.
"The Joker chooses to return to the place where he was born, does he have a deep affection for the place where he was born, or does he miss the people of this place?"
Wang Tong was still thinking, and Xu Fan, who was beside him, was the first to express his opinion.
"This bastard, who was taken abroad when he was two years old, has a hammer affection for the place where he was born. At that time, he was afraid that he couldn't even speak well, let alone have an unforgettable friendship with Dean Bai who adopted him. ”
Wang raised his hand to speak with the opposing debater.
"Not necessarily, although two-year-olds can't remember anything clearly, there are still some more profound pieces that are deeply ingrained in their minds and will never be forgotten for the rest of their lives. I remember the incident when I was two years old and my sister grabbed a chicken leg. ”
Xu Fan was unconvinced: "Are you sure it happened when you were two years old, could your teeth gnaw chicken legs at that time?" ”
As soon as the two of them argued, they gave Yi Tian inspiration.
"I said, could this paper money be a clown to pay tribute to Dean Bai? Back then, the biological parents of the two brothers abandoned them in the hospital, and it was Dean Bai who raised them until they were two years old. Cats and dogs all understand and are grateful, and the clown is a little perverted, but it doesn't mean that he is a very cold-blooded person in his bones. ”
