Episode 14 Coming Home
Shuguang Apartment, Old West City, West District, Shixi.
Jiang You parked the car under the apartment building, the pale yellow street lights shone into the car, and Xia Qing was still asleep. He didn't try to wake her up, leaned back in his chair and began to think about what had just happened.
Ji Dongshun died, and on the surface, it seemed to be another "familiar accident", but the clues that finally appeared were cut off again, just like his investigation in the past two years.
Ji Dongshun died...... A broken glass was stuck in his throat, and there seemed to be no signs of a fight on his body, which didn't look like he had killed, like an accident. But Jiang You's intuition told him that this was definitely not an accident!
In the past two years, he has been like a detective, and wherever an accident occurs in White Harbor City, he will rush to the scene of the crime as soon as possible. He is also like a journalist, who will collect and investigate the circumstances of the crime, the information of the victim, and deduce who the ultimate beneficiary of the victim's death is!
Although these theoretical "beneficiaries" are different, some people's "accidental death" may even have several "beneficiaries". But the one that appears the most often is the Luhai Group!
In the accident two years ago, Dongshun Trading Group is also a building materials supplier of Luhai Real Estate under Luhai Group! In the end, the death of the chairman of Huajian Group was followed by a bribery scandal related to him. In the end, the fishermen of the land and sea group profited and won several bids.
But regarding the Luhai Group, whether Jiang You was watching himself or asking a friend to investigate secretly, there was no key evidence or decisive clues. Although there have been rumors about the past of Luhai Group on the rivers and lakes, the company has been doing regular business in the past two years, and he has not found any handle.
and the policeman who appeared in Ji Dongshun's room today, it seems to be the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team named Tong Lie. It was he who was in charge of investigating the billboard accident in the West Side Mall. Why did he come to Ji Dongshun alone? Is he involved with Ji Dongshun? He's the murderer? Or is he here to keep an eye on it? Or has he not given up on the investigation of the billboard accident in the past two years?
Regarding Tong Lie, Jiang You spent some time and energy on the investigation of the stalking, and from his performance in the past few years, it seems that he is a decent and excellent criminal policeman.
If he didn't kill Ji Dongshun and wasn't an accomplice, then he didn't give up the case two years ago. So where did he know Ji Dongshun's whereabouts?
The more Jiang You thought about it, the deeper his brows locked......
A groan interrupted his thoughts. Xia Qing touched her forehead, climbed up from the back seat with difficulty, and looked around blankly, a little at a loss.
"Awake?" Jiang You looked back at her.
"Where am I?" Xia Qing rubbed her forehead, what happened a few hours ago rushed back to her brain like a tired bird returning to her nest, making her have a splitting headache.
She remembered that she hadn't drunk much, but suddenly she felt like she was drunk and unconscious. She remembered being dragged to the side of the road while rubbing oil, and almost got into the car? I remembered that someone pulled her later, and I remembered the raunchy but resolute and handsome face I saw at the end, which is still in front of me.
"Now downstairs in our apartment! You may have been drugged. Jiang You replied as he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and handed her a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you!" Xia Qing hesitated for a moment, but still took the water and drank it, she felt that her mouth was dry, and she drank quickly and quickly. The cold water and the food, alcohol, and drugs in her stomach were intertwined, and her stomach immediately turned upside down. She rushed out of the car and vomited violently.
Jiang You got out of the car, locked the door, and came to her side. When she finished throwing up, she handed over a pack of tissues.
"Thank you!" Xia Qing coughed twice, took a tissue and wiped her mouth, rinsed her mouth with the remaining mineral water, and rested for a while while holding on to the door of the car before barely standing up. She didn't care about thinking about how to settle accounts with her manager tomorrow, but looked up at the window of the apartment building with the lights on, and muttered to herself, "It's time to go home, Duoduo has to worry!" ”
……
Old West City, Hacker Stack.
Tong Lie squatted and observed Ji Dongshun's corpse.
He just lay on the ground with his head tilted, and there was a deep cut in his neck. It must have been a broken glass stuck into the wound left in his throat. The ground under his neck was soaked in a pool of blood, and there were also some blood marks around it, apparently from his arm as he struggled and crawled in the process of blood loss. The shards of glass that had been scattered were all taken away, and everything looked like he was too unlucky and had an accident.
"Master, there is no trace of a fight around Ji Dongshun. We found a bottle of Viagra next to his pillow, and asked me to see, did this guy overindulge in excessive indulgence and excessive drinking, which caused his legs to be weak, so he fell? Zhang Fan said.
"It's not that simple, the crime scene is so perfectly done. You see, there is something wrong with the marks of his struggle, they are not very natural, as if someone is trying to pull them out for him like a puppet. In other words, I felt like he was 'struggling'. There was also a throat that was pierced, and the blood should have been sprayed, but you see all around, the blood was only near his body, flowing all over the ground, and it was not sprayed far. Tong Lie said to judge for himself.
"But Ji Dongshun can't let people stick their throats and not resist, right? There was no trace of a third person in the room, and there was no trace of resistance or struggle around or on the bed! Was it killed by a ghost? Zhang Fan said suspiciously.
"Even if he is drunk and weak, he will be stuck in the throat without defense, and he will struggle reflexively!" Tong Lie also felt that this was very contradictory.
"That ......" Zhang Fan didn't understand what he wanted to say, since he said that he would struggle, where were the traces?
"What if he wasn't killed here?" Tong Lie's mind was racing, and he stood up and stared at Zhang Fan and asked.
"Huh? Not here, isn't this the scene of the first crime? Where's that? Zhang Fan felt that his brain memory was a little insufficient.
"Let the brothers work overtime, check all the other rooms in this hotel, and tell me the results immediately!" After Tong Lie finished instructing, he didn't explain much to Zhang Fan, and quickly walked out of Ji Dongshun's room.
……
In the elevator of the apartment
Xia Qing stood silently with her head bowed, she didn't know what to say. Jiang You stood beside her and didn't speak, and the atmosphere seemed a little strange and awkward.
"Thanks to you, why are you there today? Drink? Xia Qing asked speechlessly.
"Find a friend." Jiang You didn't know what to say at this time, and his two-year-old life of not being able to enter made his communication function somewhat degraded.
"Oh, you're doing ......"
Bite! Before Xia Qing could finish asking, the elevator door opened. She simply ended the awkward chat and got out of the elevator first. Still with her head down, she slowly walked ahead. Jiang You followed her silently. In the quiet corridor of the tube building, only the sound of her high heels and the other party's boots walking.
Jiang You deliberately controlled his pace, so that the footsteps of the two were out of sync, and it seemed that once they were synchronized, it would seem a little ambiguous.
The two walked to their respective doors, ready to open the door and enter the house. Xia Qing stopped moving, turned around and bent slightly, bowed lightly, and said softly to Jiang You: "Thank you really for today!" ”
"Hmm...... You're welcome! From the time she woke up to the time she went upstairs, she had thanked her several times, and Jiang You hadn't answered a few times before, so she had to respond a little mechanically at this time.
"I'm sorry I've been a neighbor for so long, I don't know your name yet. My name is Xia Qing, Xia Qing of Sunny Summer. Xia Qing was a little embarrassed, she did her a great favor, but she didn't know the other party's name. This is obviously not very polite.
"Jiang You." After being silent for a while, Jiang You replied in a sneering manner.
"Hmm...... Mr. Najiang, ...... again Good bye! Xia Qing didn't know why, her heart was beating faster inexplicably, and her face was red to the root of her ears. She waved her hand stiffly, opened the door and went home as if she were running away.
"Mom! Why did you come back! When Jiang You entered the house, Xia Duo's slightly coquettish complaint came from next door......
