Chapter 515: An Important Clue
Xiaoxiao, how is Shan Ye's body recovering? ”
"He's recovering well, and his memory has returned."
"Great, let's come to the house for dinner today, you haven't been back to your parents' house since you got married."
"Yes, Mom, but I'm going to take Grandma with me."
"There are a lot of people in the family today, your grandparents are also coming, and your uncle, I think, your grandma should not like crowded occasions."
"Mom, why do I think you're a little afraid of grandma?"
"I'm afraid that she should be afraid of me, the daughter of a wealthy family, I'm afraid of what your grandmother will do? Hurry up! ”
After hanging up the phone, a trace of coolness appeared in Zhao Manni's heart, if she was afraid of Mrs. Meng, it was the light in her eyes that saw everything.
Meng Shaohui, who was neatly dressed, walked downstairs, and he said indifferently: "Mannie, there is an important case that I need to investigate, and I won't come back for dinner today." ”
"Mom and Dad and daughter are here today, how can you not be there? How can you personally investigate the case if you are the director? What case is so important? ”
"It's an old case from more than 20 years ago, and I have to go."
"Old cases?"
At the mention of the old case, Zhao Manni's heart shook suddenly, but she quickly calmed down her emotions.
"Yes, some criminals think they are very smart, and they think that everything will be fine if they are covered up by time, and no matter how long their crimes are hidden, there will be a day when they will be revealed.
Zhao Manni's expression obviously became abnormal, and she said with a little stuttering: "Yes..... What do you do if you have to sin? ”
"I'm in a hurry, I'll go first."
"Where are you going? Come back early! ”
Meng Shaohui didn't answer her words, strode out of the door, got into the car and rushed out of the villa. He was going to meet an important person, and he had found an important clue about the murder of Hua Yunluo back then.
Looking at his back, Zhao Manni's clenched palms were sweating, and she didn't know why, but she was a little uneasy in her heart.
The wheels drove from the bustling city to the suburbs, and finally to the town of Wanqing, a town where the people made a living from the silk trade, but they were also considered wealthy.
He came to a silk shop inside, and the owner of the shop, a middle-aged man about his age, was settling accounts on a calculator.
"May I ask you are Ma Wentao, right?"
"You are?"
Meng Shaohui showed his police ID: "I'm from the Public Security Bureau, I'm here to investigate a case from 20 years ago, and I want to ask you for your assistance." ”
The other party was stunned: "The old case from twenty years ago? Officer Meng, don't you think twenty years is too far away? Who will remember what? I don't understand, how can I help you? ”
"I know that you are a photography enthusiast with a unique vision, and you are the best at photographing bad weather, in your perspective, bad weather represents a kind of reverse life, and your work has won many awards."
"It's a police officer, you know that! Yes, I don't have a general preference for photography, but that was when I was younger, and now I don't have the passion I had at that time, and I'm satisfied with keeping this little shop. However, does this have anything to do with your investigation? ”
"Can you show me your work from 20 years ago? It's possible that your work has a clue I'm looking for. ”
Ma Wentao's expression was puzzled, trying his best to imagine what case had happened in Wanqing Town twenty years ago? Then a flash of inspiration flashed in front of his eyes, and the shadow of a young woman holding a child appeared.
"I remember twenty years ago, a woman was stoned to death at the foot of Wanqing Mountain, are you talking about this case?"
"That's right, it's this case, can you still recall the details at that time?"
"I remember it was a gloomy day, flying sand and rocks, and I saw a young woman holding a child, and the child was crying all the time, and the woman seemed very flustered. But I didn't expect that she would be stoned to death? Hey, poor woman! ”
"That's right, that's the day, I'll just look at the work you took that day."
"Follow me."
The floor of the small shop is very low, a few steps less than the normal staircase, and there is a "creaking" sound when stepped on it.
Following Ma Wentao, he came to the second floor, the first was the warehouse, the second was Ma Wentao's studio, the musty smell wafting in his face made his throat itch, this room seemed to have not been opened for a long time.
There are many photographic works hanging inside, each of which records the time, and the style and genre are relatively unpopular. Meng Shaohui's eyes quickly swept around, but he didn't find the works of that year.
Maybe it's because time has passed so long that even Ma Wentao himself can't remember where he put it? He went to the box and took out all the albums, Meng Shaohui also hurriedly helped him find it, and finally saw the bent mountain of that day in the back stacks, the mountain in the flying sand and rocks showed nothing more than the scene in bad weather, only the man standing on the mountain was the person Meng Shaohui was looking for.
He continued to flip down, but found that there was only that one, and the distance was so far that the man's appearance could not be seen clearly.
He pulled out the photo and said, "This photo might help me, I'll take it back first." ”
"You mean to say that this man is the murderer?"
"Yes, he took advantage of the harsh weather to push the stone down."
"What a high-IQ killer! So why didn't you just come and investigate at that time? It's been 20 years now? ”
"At the time, I mistakenly thought it was a rockfall caused by the weather, but later I learned that it was a man-made murder."
"I heard that the police are now very advanced in technology, and they can make the picture clear, and the criminals can be found."
"Well, I'm leaving."
This is the only way to find the killer, otherwise there is nowhere to be found in the vast sea of people, for twenty years, I don't know if this killer is still alive? The purpose of the killer is to take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, as long as he is found, he can correct Zhao Manni.
After leaving Wanqing Town, he hurried towards the Public Security Bureau, and on the way, Zhao Manni called, and he turned the phone to offline mode, and she didn't want to answer the woman's call at this time. He could have dealt with this heinous woman in private, but given that he was a police officer, he still wanted to bring her to justice through the right channels.
"Xiao Zhou, help me make this photo clear."
"Director Meng, this photo seems to be a short period of time, and I'm afraid that the clarity of the recovery will not be up to your imagination!"
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can see this person's face clearly."
"I'll try my best."
"Director Meng, why did you personally investigate the case? Oh------ I see, you're investigating your son-in-law's case, right? ”
Meng Shaohui smiled and lit the cigarette.
