Chapter 32: Only One Minute

Although the two of us felt that there were some possibilities, these reasoning were untenable, and there was too little evidence to support them, and the two of us couldn't help but glance back at Da Leizi.

Da Leizi supported the arm of the chair with one hand, supported his chin, and stared at him, as if he was listening, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he probably didn't listen to the analysis and reasoning of the two of us in the afternoon, otherwise he would have asked a long time ago.

After listening to the reports of each team, Huang Lao immediately asked what units were in front of Jingwei Street, who were the people who often passed by, and so on.

In the past, the police also focused on the investigation of the two units, but because there were no clues, the two units did not provide any bad deeds, they were all very serious and hard-working, and they were very down-to-earth, and they had nothing to gain at all.

After hearing about this situation, the two elders also exchanged ideas, and finally said three suggestions, one is to increase the intensity of investigation at night to ensure that the case does not happen again, one is to continue to investigate who benefited the most after the relocation of Jingwei Street, and dig deep into the root cause, and the last is to increase the investigation of nearby businesses to find clues and witnesses.

These points are correct, and in the absence of other clues, we can only ensure that the case does not happen again and increase the intensity of investigation.

The meeting ended quickly, and the Xing team had not yet eaten, so we accompanied the Xing team to eat again, and then returned to the guest house.

During this period, Team Xing also asked the three of us where we had run for most of the day.

I can't say that we went to the scene to reason, I think this reasoning is too idealistic, it is difficult to imagine that the murderer is the night shift staff of the hotel, so I didn't say in detail, just say that we went to Jingwei Street to follow the investigation, and there was not much gain.

When I went upstairs, Leng Tong motioned for me to go with her, and I followed Leng Tong to her room.

The voice of Team Xing came from behind him: "Da Leizi, you come back for me, can the two of them still discuss the case when you go?" โ€

It turned out that Da Leizi saw the two of us walking together and followed.

Leng Tong was unusually today, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, Team Xing, you are also very tired these days, take a rest first, and the three of us will talk." โ€

Team Xing was a little curious, but quickly smiled relievedly and entered the room.

I was even more curious, one was that Leng Tong's reaction was a little wrong, and the other was the laughter of the Xing team, which made me a little puzzled, and I couldn't help but ask: "Tongtong, what do you mean?" What does Team Xing mean? โ€

"You'll find out what I mean in a moment!" Leng Tong looked at me, grinned slightly, and said, "As for Team Xing, the old treacherous and cunning, I think I'm embarrassed, it's nothing, don't ask!" โ€

I asked in vain, I didn't understand what anyone meant, Leng Tong said that Team Xing was afraid that she would be embarrassed, I thought about it for a while, and I still understood it.

I fell asleep in Leng Tong's room yesterday, Leng Tong wanted to discuss the case, it was not good to bring me over alone, there was a big thunder follower, others would not think about anything, Team Xing was indeed cunning, and quickly understood what Leng Tong meant, but Leng Tong didn't seem to mean this?

"Da Leizi, you are sleeping, I will greet you later!" Leng Tong came in and pulled me to sit on the sofa and gave the bed to Da Leizi.

Da Leizi also seemed to feel that something was wrong with him, so he stood up and said, "I'll go back to sleep, don't delay the two of you, lest you have to greet me for a while." โ€

"Can't go, let's be here!" Leng Tong immediately said: "Let's go to the courtyard of Sanjiang Hotel in a while." โ€

I only figured out what Leng Tong meant at this time, it turned out that I wanted to observe the situation of Sanjiang Hotel, although we have no evidence, it is good to have a general understanding of the situation, after all, we are still idealistic reasoning here.

Da Leizi also lay down: "I didn't delay the two of you, you left me, then you can greet me when you leave in a while." โ€

Leng Tong's face was slightly red, and he ignored him, turned to me and said: "Today's investigation basically has no effect, and after a while, according to our reasoning, we will go to the vicinity of the hotel to observe, although we don't have any clues, it's good to understand the situation, what time do you say we go?" โ€

I heard that Leng Tong had already decided to go down, and he was still asking me, so he knew that this beautiful woman was testing me.

I thought briefly for a while and said: "From here to Sanjiang Hotel, about twenty minutes, if from our idealized reasoning, according to the time when the murderer went to take over after the two killings, at most five minutes in advance to arrive at Sanjiang Hotel, we only need to set off at 11:35, it is completely okay!" โ€

"Exactly!" Leng Tong seemed to be happy, his little mouth also grinned, and his hand was raised, as if he was going to do something, so he immediately put it down and said: "Then we will send it at 11:35 and go to the hotel to see the situation, although we may see the murderer, we can't do anything, it's better than not going." โ€

I think it's a little funny, just based on the time gap and the nature of the two stores, one is a hardware store and the other is a noodle shop, it is really unbelievable and not necessarily correct.

At this time, the snoring of the big thunder was already sounding, and the two of us had to get closer, otherwise we really couldn't hear it clearly.

Leng Tong is very smart, I should have seen that I didn't believe it, so I leaned over and said: "Some details can explain the problem, don't believe it, the murderer always kills people on Jingwei Street, and it is all in that time period, and it is a random crime, there is no preparation at all, this is not like a wandering crime and a targeted killing, it's just ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

I also heard some truth, and seeing that Leng Tong stopped talking thoughtfully, I took it over and said: "The most important thing for us is that we can't determine the murderer's motive for committing the crime, right?" โ€

"Yes!" Leng Tong nodded and said: "If you can be sure, maybe you can find some clues from his motive for committing the crime, and quickly lock on to the target!" โ€

I also nodded again and again, thinking that what Leng Tong said was also possible, so we will do everything that needs to be done, and the case will always have to be solved.

When the meeting ended, it was almost eight o'clock, and we came back and discussed it for a long time, and we didn't talk for long, it was already half past eleven, and I hurriedly went to beckon Da Leizi to get up.

Don't look at Da Leizi's brain usually doesn't move much, but he is very alert, if he fights or something, it is absolutely unambiguous, and he shoots very quickly, and he gets up as soon as he says hello.

The three of us went downstairs, got in the car and went straight to Jingwei Street, it was 11:36 at this time, and we could have arrived at Sanjiang Hotel five minutes in advance.

The car drove out of the most prosperous center, and soon entered Jingwei Street, just when I turned around, someone was crying at the door of a small store on the right not far in front, and the lights of the businesses on the left and right were also turned on, and there were two people standing at the door looking inside, as if something was wrong.

Da Leizi hurriedly drove the car over, and a woman saw our car and threw herself out, crying like a madman: "Come and see!" My daughter was strangled to death by the Daredevil, how can we live? Oh my daughter! โ€

The three of us all looked like they changed dramatically, so we quickly got out of the car and went straight to the store, and the two people at the door also dodged away and let us in.

The shop is not big, surrounded by a circle of glass counters, all kinds of small food, near a table at the entrance of the passage inside, there is a little girl, about six or seven years old, motionless, not far from the ground throwing a white mask, everything else is not abnormal.

Leng Tong hurriedly ran over and tested the little girl's snort, and the two of us also followed, just when we saw Leng Tong shaking his head at us, the child was no longer good!

The young woman also pounced frantically, wanting to pick up the child, but was stopped by the big thunder, after all, it has not been investigated at the scene, it is better not to approach, protect the scene.

The woman didn't care about that, she cried and came up, and at this time I also saw that there were five clear finger marks on the girl's neck, which was exactly the same as the modus operandi of the previous two cases!

Leng Tong glanced around, and immediately asked the young woman, "How did the mask come from?" โ€

"It's mine!" The woman cried: "If I didn't deserve to die, what kind of mask I put on, my daughter wouldn't have died, and I deserved to die!" โ€

Leng Tong looked at me, and then he realized that the mask was not left by the murderer, and like the previous cases, there were still no valuable clues.

Suddenly, Leng Tong seemed to remember something, his face changed suddenly, and he pulled me and ran: "Da Leizi, you protect the scene!" โ€

I wanted to ask where to go, but suddenly I remembered our idealized inference, swallowed back the words that came to my mouth, and hurriedly followed Leng Tong out and got into the car.

Leng Tong quickly started the car, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and drove towards Sanjiang Hotel!

I looked at the time anxiously, and at 11:52, when we came to Jingwei Street, it should have taken less than ten minutes, or was it delayed at the scene of the crime just now, because this was Jingwei Street, and it was still five or six minutes' drive from Sanjiang Hotel.

If Leng Tong is so fast, he can arrive at Sanjiang Hotel in about five or six minutes, that is, three or four minutes in advance, if we deduce correctly, there is a chance to see the murderer!

I also saw two pedestrians along the way, as well as a team of patrolling policemen, none of them were the people we were looking for, the murderer should be a person, Leng Tong's car did not stop, and finally arrived at the Sanjiang Hotel compound at 11:57.

It was a coincidence that the car drove out, so we could only honk the horn and stop for a while, and then we all saw a faint back disappearing from the corner of the building, and it didn't look short.

But that's just it, it's still very far away, and it's impossible to know for sure. Besides, our inferences are idealistic, and there is no evidence to support them!

The car that drove out of the Sanjiang Hotel passed, and the beautiful woman Leng Tong didn't drive in again, looked at me with some disappointment and said, "I could have verified our guess, but there was only one minute in time!" โ€

"If you go in now, you can ask for clarification." I also stared at Leng Tong and asked, "Do we want to go in?" โ€

"There's no need, you can't rush." Leng Tong turned his head back and sighed and said: "We are just inference, you are right, there is no evidence to support it, as long as we determine the murderer's motive for killing and find clues, this person will not be able to run away if he asks later, now we will go back immediately and take a closer look at the scene." โ€
