Chapter 267: Twenty-eight years
As a criminal policeman, it is the most common job to go out to visit people who have a relationship with the deceased.
However, this time Xiao Ning wanted to meet not an ordinary person, but a very important person, but now it has been almost forgotten.
An hour later, the car pulled up in front of a police station in a precinct.
Compared to the Criminal Police Brigade, this place is not only much smaller in scale, but even the building looks like it has been many years old. There were no cars in front of the door, but a few electric cars and bicycles were parked.
This is the outskirts of the old town, and many of the residents have moved away, and only some elderly people remain here.
Lin Xiyang looked up at the words of the police station that had been hung vertically, and was a little puzzled, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
Xiao Ning didn't speak, but walked in with a sullen head.
As soon as I entered, a young police officer who looked to be in his twenties greeted him, who should still be in the internship stage, and the uniform on his body was different from that of a regular police officer, "Are you here to report the crime, or what?" ”
Xiao Ning took out his ID, "I'm looking for Li Xianxian." ”
The man took the document and looked at it for a while, then nodded, "Senior Li is inside, you can go directly to the innermost office." ”
Xiao Ning took Lin Xiyang to the somewhat cold corridor, all the way to the innermost.
He didn't knock on the door, he just stretched out his hand and pushed it open, and inside sat an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, wearing a military coat, with a small sun standing at his feet, napping.
Xiao Ning stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Senior Li." ”
Li Xianxian opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was Xiao Ning, and closed it again, but said in his mouth: "Why did the people from the criminal police brigade come over?" ”
As soon as Lin Xiyang heard this, he knew that Xiao Ning and Li Xianxian knew each other, and it seemed that this old man was definitely not an ordinary policeman.
In fact, she really guessed correctly, Li Xianxian used to be a member of the criminal police brigade, but Xiao Ning was not born at that time.
Later, because of a big case, Li Xianxian left the criminal police brigade and went to a small police station in the area, where he worked for so many years. Over the years, Zhou Qing has come to him, but the result is that he doesn't want to mention the things of the year again.
And Xiao Ning also knew about Li Xianxian, and he still learned about it from Zhou Qing's mouth, including the cases that have not been solved from then to now. But this time I came to him, not because of the case back then, but because of the current peeling case.
Xiao Ning pulled over a chair and motioned for Lin Xiyang to sit down, and then he sat opposite Li Xianxian, "Senior Li, I came to ask you something. ”
"Ask what?" Li Xianxian finally opened his eyes, his eyes were a little cloudy, but they were very calm, "If you ask about the things of the year, then forget it." ”
Xiao Ning pursed his lips and suddenly said, "If the murderer back then comes out to commit the crime again, what will happen to you?" ”
Li Xianxian's eyes widened suddenly, and then his body trembled a little, "Did he appear?" ”
Xiao Ning didn't nod or shake his head, because he wasn't sure either, "I don't know, but we recently took on a case that seems completely different from the one back then, but it has several similar characteristics." ”
There are many cases of using so-called witchcraft rituals to kill people, but most of them happen abroad, and these things are not believed in at home. But in China over the years, there have been murders for some rituals, but there are more than three people, and this is the first case in more than 20 years.
And more than 20 years ago, there was another case, which was the case of Li Xianxian.
Li Xianxian stared at Xiao Ning tightly, "You show me the information first!" ”
Xiao Ning shook his head, "No, this is confidential, and only the team responsible for investigating this case from the Criminal Police Brigade has authority." Even I can't reveal it to anyone, not even you. But I can dictate part of it, senior, you can listen to it. ”
Li Xianxian didn't say a word, but all his attention was focused on Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning briefly told the case about it, and he didn't say anything about the confidentiality, but it was enough for Li Xianxian to understand the general situation.
At the end of hearing this, Li Xianxian closed his eyes, "The case from twenty-eight years ago is completely different from what you said. ”
Xiao Ning frowned slightly, "Are you sure?" They all involve witchcraft rituals abroad, and they all have more than five dead people, and most importantly, the eyes of those people back then are gone, and now in this case, the skin is missing. Although it seems different in many aspects, I think that even if there is a little similarity, I can't let it go. None of us knows if the murderer more than 20 years ago will come out to commit crimes. ”
Li Xianxian took a deep breath and finally stood up, "Come with me, I will give you the case file from twenty-eight years ago, as for whether they were done by a murderer, that is what you have to investigate." If...... If you really find out something, remember to tell me. No, don't tell me, I just want the results. ”
After speaking, the anger on his body seemed to be discharged, and the whole person looked a little older.
Lin Xiyang followed Xiao Ning and didn't speak all the time.
The case from 28 years ago...... She tried to remember, but it was too old for her to know if she had heard of it.
Moreover, many very tragic cases are generally not disseminated, for fear that they will cause panic among the masses. If the case is not solved in the end, it will be sealed permanently.
And most cases have a validity period of 20 years, and once it has passed, there is no way to prosecute the murderer even if he is caught.
Twenty-eight years have passed, and no one can do anything to him unless the murderer commits the crime again.
Twenty-eight years is too long, so long that even Lin Xiyang doesn't believe that the murderer will kill again after so many years. It's a bit of a stretch.
Coming to the dusty archive room, Li Xianxian walked to the innermost with ease and took out a file from one of the cabinets.
Xiao Ning took it, and it was clear at a glance that Li Xianxian should have taken it out more than once, and he was afraid that until now, he wanted to catch the murderer with his own hands.
Because the file is well preserved, except for the yellowing of the paper, the handwriting is very clear.
Xiao Ning didn't mean to take the file away, so he sat down directly at the table in the archive room and began to look through it.
After 28 years, the case was opened again.
Lin Xiyang watched from the side and raised his eyebrows, if it was really related, wouldn't Xiao Ning solve two cases in a row? She hopes to be a murderer, and in this case, it is also an explanation for the deceased twenty-eight years ago.
