Chapter 35: The puzzle is the key
Leng Tong heard me say this, grinned again and said: "At the beginning, it was one of our most ideal ideas, but this idea has been filled in and perfected step by step in practice, but what we lack at present is only evidence, let's go back first!" โ
I think so too, I thought it was very ridiculous at first, but when I really had no clue, Leng Tong and the beautiful woman imagined the most ideal reasoning framework according to the little similarities that existed in reality, but I didn't expect it to be improved step by step with the progress of the case.
At least the time of the crime this time, which often appeared on Jingwei Street, has been perfected.
Da Leizi also seemed to understand, stared at the two of us and said, "You two have analyzed and reasoned so much, isn't it one of those people on night duty?" Why is it so troublesome, let's just go and arrest those people, and go back to interrogate, right? โ
Leng Tong and I glanced at each other, or I said: "Brother Lei, it's not that simple, didn't you listen to Tongtong, what we lack now is evidence, that person has a suitable identity, and there are no bad deeds, not to mention that our reasoning may not be accurate, even if it is accurate, the murderer does not admit it, what can we do?" โ
Da Leizi was stunned for a moment, his big mouth was high, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't go back to the police station after getting into the car, but stopped in front of a restaurant on Jingwei Street.
There are still a few guests in the hotel, and they are also chatting with the boss about yesterday's case while eating, everyone seems to be silent, saying that the night demon on Jingwei Street is reappearing, it is not a person at all, it is a devil, coming and going without a trace, and killing whoever you want.
The three of us listened a little funny and a little embarrassed, after all, there were several cases, and they happened in one place on Jingwei Street, and we, as policemen, have not caught this murderer until now.
It was already half past two in the afternoon after eating, and the three of them returned to the police station together, everyone was still discussing the case together, and there was still no progress, and the two elders were also very anxious, and they had never met such a difficult opponent.
At about six o'clock in the evening, everyone still summarized the situation and listened to the investigation in the small conference room, but several detachments still had no gains, and the parents of the murdered children also had no enemies.
This time, the Yang Bureau was a little angry, and told the Zhang team that no matter whether the case can be solved as soon as possible or not, patrols must be strengthened, and similar cases cannot be allowed to happen again, otherwise everyone will scold the police station, a group of people who eat dry food.
In fact, when the three of us were eating at noon, we also heard some people saying that they had a lot of complaints about the police station, thinking that the police were incompetent, and allowed the murderer to kill several people on a street several kilometers away, so that they all suspected that the murderer was not a human being.
At half past eight, everyone broke up.
A few of us had dinner with Xing Team in the guest house restaurant, and during the period, we also discussed the case, Xing Team and the others were also very anxious, and the two of us couldn't say so much, after all, we were all analytical, and there was no evidence.
After eating, the four of them returned to the guest house together, Leng Tong directly signaled me to go to her room, obviously to analyze the case, I could only follow, this time Da Leizi learned to be obedient, and asked in a low voice: "Shall we leave at night?" โ
Leng Tong shook his head and said, "Don't go, it's okay today, you go to sleep!" โ
Da Leizi immediately smiled and entered the room with Team Xing, and I came to the room with Leng Tong, this big beauty is the same as a few of us men, after coming here, I basically haven't rested much in the past few days, even if I rest, I can't rest well, Da Leizi's snoring is indeed heard in this room.
Leng Tong was also very tired, threw down the sneakers that were no longer very white on his feet, and lay on the bed all of a sudden, wiping his little hand on his face, and then asked, "Xiaoxiao, what should I do?" โ
"What can we do?" I also said helplessly: "Otherwise, let's try one last trick?" โ
Leng Tong knew what the last trick I said was, the same as what Da Leizi said, that is, to arrest the suspicious night shift personnel in Sanjiang Hotel, and strive to make a breakthrough in the interrogation.
Leng Tong shook his head and said: "This is really not good, firstly, the Yang Bureau and the Zhang team may not agree, and secondly, even if we are caught, we may not be able to make a breakthrough, and the most important thing is to startle the snake and let the murderer be guarded." โ
I also nodded again and again, we came to help, and it can be seen that Yang Ju and Team Zhang both think that Team Xing is very good, and they don't care much about the two of us, this reasoning is that it coincides in time at the beginning, and it coincides in frequent haunts, and everything else is reasoning.
Leng Tong said at this time: "From the last little girl's case, we have roughly deduced the murderer's motive, originally I thought that after finding the murderer's motive, maybe we could find some evidence according to this motive, but I don't know if this is still the result!" โ
I also nodded again and again, in the past, when we solved the first case, we went through some reasoning, and we also found evidence step by step according to our reasoning.
And what about this case? Is there something wrong with our reasoning? If it's not a problem with the reasoning, should we be able to find some evidence based on this reasoning?
Thinking of this, I reasoned about Leng Tong's idealized assumptions again in my mind, and felt that in terms of time, every second was right, and the murderer was indeed a person who often haunted Jingwei Street.
There is also the motive for the crime, which can be roughly determined, that is, he has some kind of hidden disease in his heart, and at the time of the crime, the three victims were doing something, perhaps these things stimulated the murderer and made the murderer have the desire to kill.
Especially the last victim, it is suspected that the homework has been altered, although no fingerprints have been extracted, but the murderer is wearing gloves, so what about the previous victim?
I thought about the murder of the three victims in my mind, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I quickly pulled Leng Tong and exclaimed: "Tongtong, I know that there is a place where it is very likely to find evidence of the murderer!" โ
I felt soft and very elastic for a while, I was startled, and I didn't know when, I was also lying on the bed, and Leng Tong was lying on the side.
Leng Tong exclaimed, and then sat up.
"I'm sorry!" I hurriedly apologized: "Tongtong, I didn't mean to, and I didn't pay attention to when I was lying in bedยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Leng Tongqiao's face flushed, interrupted me, and asked, "What did you think of?" Where is it possible to find evidence of the murderer? โ
When I saw that Leng Tong sat up because I had been caught, I was slightly relieved, and hurriedly said, "On the puzzle!" โ
"On the puzzle?" Leng Tong was slightly stunned: "What evidence can there be?" โ
"We once suspected that the killer had moved the little girl's pencil and eraser, and had also changed the homework." I immediately said, "I also brought two things back for examination, but no fingerprints were detected, and the murderer was wearing gloves, right?" โ
Leng Tong was extremely smart, and exclaimed again: "If the murderer's motive for killing is correct, then on the puzzle of the proprietress in the second case, the two missing pieces are cut off by the murderer, the puzzle is not the same as the pencil, and the gap between the gaps is very small, so the murderer can't do it with gloves!" โ
"Yes!" I also smiled and said: "And that puzzle is also relatively new, the surface is smooth, and it is easy to leave fingerprints, but we didn't know the murderer's motive at the time, and we didn't think about this at all, so naturally we couldn't find evidence, so we ignored this place where evidence was most likely to be left!" โ
Leng Tong suddenly stretched out his little hand and wiped it on my forehead, so frightened that I hurriedly closed my eyes, and heard Leng Tong's coquettish laughter: "Xiaoxiao, you are too smart!" Go find Da Leizi and we'll go back to the police station immediately! โ
I saw Leng Tong's little hand yesterday, and I was also happy, but I didn't expect it to be this action, and when I opened my eyes again, this big beauty had already withdrawn her smile and was wearing shoes.
I don't want to wait any longer, as long as we find evidence, then we have already locked up the possible suspects, this time there is no such thing as a scareless snake, so I hurriedly ran back and called Da Leizi.
Da Leizi was still snoring, Xing Team should be too tired, not disturbed by Da Leizi's snoring at all, I couldn't bear to wake up Xing Team, so far, no evidence has been found, it is just a suspicion, so I hurriedly pulled Da Leizi's arm.
Da Leizi got up at once, stared at the boss with ringed eyes, and saw that I waved my hand to leave, although he was still a little dazed, he hurriedly followed out.
Leng Tong also came out at this time, and Da Leizi immediately muttered: "Are you two used to tossing people?" I also asked, if you are still going today, you said you can't go, I just went to sleep, but I still got up in the middle of the night to greet me! โ
"Don't talk nonsense!" Leng Tong immediately said: "Come with us and find evidence, even if we say we are still leaving today, don't you still want to sleep?" โ
Da Leizi was also speechless, indeed, even if we said that we would go for a while, he would still fall asleep for a while.
Leng Tong and I didn't know where that puzzle was now, and we didn't expect it to become the key to catching the murderer, so it was better to ask the people at the police station.
This time Da Leizi didn't know what was going on, and the two of us followed up, only then did we notice that it was already more than twelve o'clock, but this is not surprising, I went back after eating with Team Xing, and it was almost ten o'clock.
In the past few days, a few police officers in the duty room knew a few of us and came out to ask us what was wrong.
I hurriedly asked, "After the second case, do any of you know where that boss went?" It seems that the noodle shop has not opened for the past two days. โ
One of the police officers immediately said: "The boss should have gone back to his hometown to deal with his wife's funeral, and we also met him and asked, and he said that he would not open the business and would redeem it." โ
I looked at Leng Tong, and I didn't know if the puzzle piece was taken away.
Da Leizi asked at this time, "What are you two looking for that boss for?" Is it the murderer? โ
"What's the murderer?" Leng Tong glanced at Da Leizi and said, "We're looking for that puzzle!" โ
