089 Dancing Red Shoes (13)
That's it, Chu Renqing got down the shop, and found someone to redecorate it, according to the method that the master said, anything will have aura after a long time, and the antique jade from the pawn can suppress the curse of human skin dancing shoes, which is why he opened a pawnshop, in order to ensure that in case, he spent a lot of money to ask the master to customize the window for sealing and saying, and sealed the dancing shoes in it.
The pawnshop has been open for ten years, and it has been safe and sound for the past ten years.
Chu Renqing recalled this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although the whole thing looked incredible, but Liu Tingyu and Liao Wei did not find any flaws in it, and they were convinced of his confession, but then the two of them invariably raised doubts, since the curse has been suppressed, why did there be a murder case? Why did leather dancing shoes appear in the deceased's home? Is there something else going on here?
Chu Renqing took up his reading glasses and looked at the photo carefully, and it took seven or eight minutes before he returned the photo to Liu Tingyu, and slowly said the confusion in the hearts of the two police officers: "About half a month ago, a female guest came to the pawnshop, at first this guest was not a pawn, but just looked around, I opened a pawnshop to make a living, it is impossible to only pawn in and not sell, but the antiques in my shop have not been able to enter her eyes, I saw that she had plans to leave, and I thought that this guest could not be kept, so I did not greet her again, Who knew that she went out of the door and walked back again, and went straight to the human leather dancing shoes! ”
Liu Tingyu couldn't help but blurt out: "So you were forced to sell her dancing shoes at a high price due to rent pressure?" ”
Chu Renqing shook his head slowly, and continued: "She was like entering a magic barrier, she kept staring at the pair of leather dancing shoes, let me make a price, money is not a problem, I told her that this thing is not for sale, so I blasted her out, she was quite unwilling at the time!" ”
"The next day, the third day, for a week in a row, she came to visit my shop every day, no matter how I drove her away, she still lingered at the door of the shop every day, and then an old customer took a fancy to a thing in my shop, I locked the door and went out to deliver the goods, only to come back and find that the door lock was picked, and there was nothing missing in it, except for the pair of leather dancing shoes!"
"You mean the woman stole the dancing shoes while you were out?"
Liao Wei said as he took out another photo from the file bag and asked Chu Renqing for confirmation: "This is not the woman in the photo!" ”
Chu Renqing's eyes with reading glasses flashed twice, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes! It's her, I've seen a picture of her in the newspaper, it is said that she fell down the stairs and died, and her feet were cut off before she died! It can't be wrong, it must be a curse! ”
Liu Tingyu and Liao Wei were silent for a while, and there was basically no suspense in the case, only how to make a closing report that could be sealed in the file, and the case would be solved.
But now that the formal case has been solved, how can that sensational grudge end?
After a dull long time, Liu Tingyu's eyes wandered, and suddenly thought of a way, so he asked Chu Renqing in a tone that was similar to soliciting but not losing tactfulness: "Mr. Chu, if the police are willing to return the evidence to you, can you guarantee that the evidence will be properly kept and will not be allowed to continue to cause trouble?" ”
Chu Renqing has lived for most of his life, how could he not hear the meaning of her words, he immediately said: "Two, Sir, please rest assured, my old bone can last for a few more years, as long as I am alive for a day, I will never let it have another chance to harm people!" ”
Liao Wei glanced at Liu Tingyu with a stern expression, to be honest, he had no objection to his confession, but he didn't fully believe Chu Renqing, wouldn't it be a little hasty to hand over such an important thing to him for safekeeping?
But Liu Tingyu doesn't think so, although this practice does not conform to the rules of the police, but it is also a way to get the best of both worlds, and in fact, there is no other way, and the police can't come forward to invite some strange people to deal with it separately.
In the evidence room, Liu Tingyu said to the police officer in charge of managing the evidence: "I want to obtain the relevant evidence of Case No. 39!" ”
"Yes! Sir! ”
The police officer immediately searched the evidence register, but after half a day, he gave this answer: "Sir! There is no registration information about Case No. 39 in the evidence register! ”
Liu Tingyu looked at Liao Wei, who also had a slightly gloomy face, and said, "Could it be that Lao Cai didn't transfer it to the Evidence Department in time!" ”
Liao Wei said: "Lao Cai has been engaged in forensic identification for many years, and he will not make such detailed mistakes in the procedure!" ”
Liu Tingyu was suddenly shocked, and immediately said to Chu Renqing and Liao Wei: "You wait for me in my office, I'll go to the forensic office!" ”
Liao Wei glanced at Chu Renqing behind him, it was really inappropriate to take such an outsider to swagger around in the police station, so he said to Liu Tingyu, in fact, to Chu Renqing: "In this way, I will send Mr. Chu back first, and then send the evidence to the pawnshop after we complete the handover procedure!" ”
Chu Renqing observed the expressions of the two of them, and didn't say much, and only said one sentence in a dull voice: "That old man is waiting for news from the two police officers in the shop!" ”
Besides, Liu Tingyu hurried to the forensic office, not only did she find the pair of leather high heels, but even Xue Qi was gone, and now in this special period, the forensic office did not even have a person on duty, and the damn pair of evidence shoes at the critical moment also disappeared strangely, she was up and down in her heart, and found the person in charge of the personnel department with a pretty face, and asked where Xue Qi was, and the police officer of the personnel department replied: "Xue Qi has not been to the police station since the morning!" ”
Liu Tingyu asked: "Then has he ever asked for leave!" ”
The officer replied: "Now all the police officers have canceled their leave, and he has not reported it to us, which is a personal act of absenteeism!" ”
Xue Qi is a police officer in the internal service department, and if there is no special attendance every day, he will clock in and out on time and on time, how can he suddenly be absent from work? Thinking back to Xue Qi's unusual attire at yesterday's funeral, could it be that he was sick? Liu Tingyu immediately paid attention to this problem: "Help you contact his phone number and see where he is now!" ”
The police repeatedly called Xue Qi's phone twice, one on his mobile phone and the other on his home phone, but no one answered either phone, and Liu Tingyu decided to go to his home in person.
Along the way, the sound of sirens was rampant, and Liu Tingyu soon came to the apartment rented by Xue Qi, and the landlady opened the door while muttering: "Xue Qi, this kid is usually quite enthusiastic, and often helps me, an old woman, move things, you have to praise him well when you turn around!" ”
Liu Tingyu patiently listened to a lot of nonsense from her grandmother, only to hear a machine, and the door was opened.
The layout of the room is simple and slightly messy, there is nothing unusual at first glance, but the second glance is hurriedly swept away, in the large square fish tank at the door, Xue Qi is hideously attached to the glass wall, the skin on his body is swollen and white, the little turtle swims leisurely in the water, and from time to time turns around and bites the corpse, and immediately blood gushes out of the neck.
Under this situation, Grandma's flower appearance was frightened, and she screamed, "Nima has a heart attack", and fell straight down holding her heart, unable to breathe for a long time, Liu Tingyu almost held on to the wall to barely stand firmly.
Following Cai Fan, another police officer died mysteriously.
The police officers who received the police soon arrived at the scene, and the forensic doctors from other substations reported while examining the corpses in the fish tank, while the forensic assistants stood aside to record the forensic report: "The deceased died by drowning, the time of death was more than 12 hours, and no suicide note was found at the scene, so suicide was ruled out and determined to be an accidental death!" ”
Liu Tingyu sat on the chair on the edge of the bathtub, sitting motionless, Liao Wei could see that her mood was very low, but now was not the time to be sad and sad, he went over and said in a low voice: "He is the second, but by no means the last!" ”
This sentence was like a thunderclap in his ears, Liu Tingyu instinctively raised his head to look at Liao Wei, only to see that his face was unusually dignified, and then said: "Now we must find out the whereabouts of the human skin dancing shoes, otherwise, one after another, the next one may be us!" ”
Liu Tingyu settled down in panic and said his thoughts: "We must not let the situation continue to expand, and we must not let more colleagues die unexplained, from now on, this case can only be taken care of by the two of us, and no one else can interfere, as long as you find the human leather dancing shoes, you will immediately send them to the pawnshop to seal!" ”
"The fewer people who handle this case, the better, I have no problem with that!"
Liao Wei did not deny Liu Tingyu's point of view, this kind of situation that is difficult for manpower to deal with, and it is counterproductive to have more people involved, but then, he asked hesitantly: "Do you really believe in Chu Renqing?" ”
Being asked by Liao Wei so suddenly, Liu Tingyu was briefly confused, and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean... Was his confession made up? ”
Liao Wei pondered in silence and said, "I'm not sure, but don't you think there is something suspicious about his words?" ”
Liu Tingyu's brain was almost unable to think normally, so he said bluntly: "Let's just say it!" What did you find? ”
Liao Wei said without thinking: "He said that the pair of leather dancing shoes were stolen by the first victim, we can believe that he was telling the truth, but why didn't he report the case in time at that time?" ”
Liu Tingyu also gradually noticed the strangeness of this, since Chu Renqing knew this pair of leather dancing shoes better than anyone else, why didn't he report the theft as soon as possible? Moreover, in the days after the murder in Bauhinia Apartment, he pretended to be unconcerned, if he hadn't found him this time, I'm afraid he would still choose to remain silent, but what is the secret he tried so hard to keep?
