Chapter 8: Old Classmates

Du Juan and Tang Hongye didn't ask Tan Yaning any more questions, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not in a state of communication at all now, so they didn't want to waste time doing useless work. Du Juan only asked who You Xinghua was having dinner with the night before, but Tan Yaning still couldn't say it, only said that it was You Xinghua's classmates, who they were, You Xinghua didn't tell himself, and he didn't ask.

In the end, Tan Yawen finally remembered which restaurant You Xinghua ate in, and told Du Juan the name of the restaurant, so that he didn't end up asking a question but finding nothing.

After talking to You Xinghua's attending doctor, Forensic Doctor Liu left the hospital with Du Juan and Tang Hongye, and Forensic Doctor Liu came by taxi, so Du Juan and the others drove Forensic Doctor Liu back to the Public Security Bureau first.

"Forensic Doctor Liu, how's the situation?" On the way back to the Public Security Bureau, Tang Hongye asked while driving.

Forensic Doctor Liu sighed: "Let's give you a preventive shot, You Xinghua's situation is not very optimistic, because the murderer's attack on him is still quite strong, and the skull fracture itself is not fatal, but the intracranial hemorrhage is very serious, and the time when it was found missed the best rescue time, so ...... It may not be able to survive, and even if it can survive, the sequelae will still be relatively obvious, and I am afraid that I may not be able to cooperate with your investigation. ”

"Well, we actually expected this, we didn't dare to expect the victim to cooperate with the investigation and provide clues," Tang Hongye nodded, "After all, he was attacked from behind, and it is estimated that the victim didn't see who did it to him, and it was in vain to ask, and the attitude of the victim's family just now was also a little ...... It's hard to put into words, so the two of us are self-reliant, have enough food and clothing, and go out to find clues. ”

"Forensic Doctor Liu, judging from your experience, when the murderer attacked the victim, should he have wanted to kill the victim, or did he not have that kind of intention, but he just accidentally shot hard?" Cuckoo asked.

"Personally, I don't think it's like the kind that wants to put people to death," Forensic Doctor Liu thought for a while and replied, "There is only one blunt force wound to the back of the victim's head, if you really want to beat people to death, so suddenly, and then don't confirm it, then it's not very safe, don't you say?" However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, after all, not everyone is equally organized, some people have a sloppy personality, so they are sloppy in everything, so when they see the person being knocked down, lying there motionless, I think they have been killed, and it is not impossible, I am just from a personal point of view, from the position of the victim's injury, and what can be confirmed at the scene, the victim has not been moved after falling to the ground, and it is more inclined that the murderer was only for a certain purpose when he committed the crime, I wanted to hit this victim, but I didn't expect it to be heavy all at once. ”

"Is it a motorcycle [HX] party [HX]?" Tang Hongye asked.

"No, judging from the position where the victim was injured, it doesn't look like he was injured from a motorcycle, but more like he chased after him directly from behind, and hit the back of his head so hard." Forensic Doctor Liu sat in the back row, just at a more convenient angle, leaned forward, and touched the back of Tang Hongye's head with his hand, "Oh, this is the position, the strength is quite strong, I just talked to the doctor in charge of him, because it was said that the victim was involved in a criminal case, so before the operation began, they also helped take photos, and they will be passed over later." At that time, I will analyze the specific photos of the wound after the debridement treatment. ”

As soon as he heard that it was not the kind of motorcycle [HX] party [HX] that he was worried about, Tang Hongye also breathed a long sigh of relief, although for You Xinghua, it was the same misfortune, and there was no difference, but for Tang Hongye, as long as it was not that kind of gang crime, it was just a single independent incident, then the social harm would be reduced a lot, at least there would not be more innocent citizens who would encounter such misfortune.

After sending Forensic Doctor Liu back to the Public Security Bureau, Du Juan and Tang Hongye first drove to the restaurant where You Xinghua had dinner with others the day before, intending to find out about the situation of You Xinghua dining here at that time, and who were dining with You Xinghua.

You Xinghua The scale of the restaurant where they gathered the day before was not small, when Du Juan and Tang Hongye looked for them, they had just been working for a long time, and they were still preparing for lunch, and when they saw someone coming in, they thought they were coming to make an appointment for dinner, and the front desk immediately greeted them very warmly, and after listening to them explain their intentions, they seemed to be a little disappointed, but they still cooperated with their work and helped them call up the surveillance records in the store the day before. and the contact information of the person who ordered the meal in the box where You Xinghua dined with others.

According to the surveillance video that the hotel can provide, the people who dined with You Xinghua that night, including You Xinghua, there were a total of six people, all middle-aged people who were about the same age as You Xinghua, and the six people arrived at about six o'clock in the evening and left the hotel at almost nine o'clock.

"Our kitchen closes at nine o'clock, and the store closes at ten o'clock, so we usually go to customers at half past eight to ask customers if there are any dishes to add. The waiter in charge of the private room that night told them, "At that time, the six men were all drinking, noisy, one was particularly annoying, I had to tell me what the kitchen was unreasonable to leave work early, our store was not sincere in doing business, I said that I was a waiter, and this matter was not under my control, I just notified, the person was still in a hurry, and he had to tell me clearly, but fortunately, someone next to him stopped him, and apologized to me, it was a neurosis!" ”

"Can you help us point out who is fighting with you, and who is fighting?" Du Juan asked, she mainly wanted to see if You Xinghua would be one of these two characters, if so, whether You Xinghua was the one who messed around with the waiter, or the one who fought with the mud, which can also reflect this person's personality characteristics from the side, as well as the consistent style of dealing with the world.

The waiter looked at the picture of the six people who had been suspended on the monitor walking out of the private room for a while, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to a middle-aged man on the screen who looked flushed and seemed to have a lot of pockmarks on his face, and said angrily: "This is the neurotic who quarreled with me!" The one in the khaki coat was the one who persuaded the fight. ”

The earthy yellow coat she pointed out was You Xinghua.

The cuckoo thanked her, and the waiter left in a hurry, although it had nothing to do with her, but when she encountered this kind of situation where the customer she had just contacted had an accident and was approached by the police, it is estimated that anyone will want to avoid it, for fear of bringing unnecessary trouble to themselves.

Leaving the hotel and getting into the car, Du Juan was about to dial the phone number provided to them by the hotel to contact the person who had made an appointment for a private room the day before, and said to Tang Hongye: "That khaki blazer is not at the scene of the crime!" In the hospital, among You Xinghua's personal belongings, there are only shirts and pants, as well as underwear and shoes, and there are no coats at all. ”

"Really," Tang Hongye nodded, "In this weather, it is estimated that there is no problem in wearing short-sleeved shorts at noon on a sunny day, but it is still quite cold in the morning and evening, and it is not enough to wear a shirt at all, not to mention that after drinking, it will be easier to feel cold than people who do not drink." This You Xinghua's coat must have been lost somewhere, or where they went after leaving the hotel, after all, the estimated time when You Xinghua was injured should be after midnight, but it was only nine o'clock when they left the hotel, and You Xinghua didn't go home, these people must have gone elsewhere. Either there is another possibility, that is, when you get high and get home, you lose it halfway. Anyway, it must have nothing to do with the murderer, even the mobile phone and wallet are not strong, and the coat is even more impossible. ”

Cuckoo called the phone, called twice before someone finally answered, the other party's tone sounded a little bit arrogant, at first thought Cuckoo was a telemarketer, so very impatient, until it was clear about the identity and intention of Cuckoo's explanation, and confirmed that it was not a prank, only to correct his attitude a little, and promised to meet with them.

The person who called to make an appointment for a private room in the hotel that day was called Gao Fanhua, the owner of a private company, which was located in a high-end office building in City A, and looked quite magnificent.

When they saw Gao Fanhua, Du Juan and Tang Hongye were stunned for a moment, it was really a coincidence, this Gao Fanhua was none other than the one who was pointed out by the hotel waiter who was arguing with her that night. This person is tall and big, with a generous general's belly, I don't know if it's because he drank too much, his face is the same as in the surveillance video, it is red, his face is pockmarked, and there is a layer of oil.

may have felt that his attitude on the phone was a little bad before, so after the meeting, he seemed extraordinarily enthusiastic, with a sophisticated and slick style.

"Two, sit down, sit down! Come, sit here! You've worked so hard! I really can't leave, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you to make such a trip. He greeted Du Juan with a smile on his face, "I'm really embarrassed just now, I just had dinner with You Xinghua yesterday, and I have been old classmates and old friends with Lao You for many years, so today I suddenly received a call saying that something happened to him, and it was indeed a little difficult to accept it all of a sudden, so I felt that someone must be trying to deceive me, or it was deliberately correcting me, or it was trying to cheat money." ”

"Understand, it's okay." Du Juan nodded at him, "We want to take a little time from you and learn a little about You Xinghua." After you had dinner together yesterday, what time did you part? ”

"We...... Come to think of it, I was a little drunk yesterday, and I really don't have any idea of time, so I'll tell you about it as I remember. Gao Fanhua brushed his hair a few times with his hand, and his hairline, which had obviously receded, became particularly clear because of this action, "We got together with a few good friends yesterday, and accidentally drank a little too much during dinner, and then the hotel said that they were up to time, so we decided to change places, find a place to sing and drink more, sing and sing together, lively and lively, so we went to a KTV, I really have no concept of what time it is, I remember that he answered the phone in the middle, It seems that his wife urged him to go home or what, anyway, he was the first to go, and we ended later, and I really can't remember a lot of details, so I won't tell you the truth, I drank the pieces. ”

"Then can you remember the approximate time period when You Xinghua left? Did it get to around 12 midnight? Tang Hongye asked, "How did he leave?" Call a taxi, or find a substitute driver? ”

"Taxi, I still know this." Gao Fanhua said with certainty, "I still have a vague impression, when we said he was leaving, we sent him out, in fact, I wanted to keep him to play for a while, after all, we don't see each other every day, and every party is separated by a long time, everyone is very busy, but Lao You is determined to leave, we can't help it, we stopped a taxi at the door to send him to the car, and watched the car go." ”

"Didn't you drink a fragment? Why is this part so clear? Tang Hongye asked.

"Don't mention it, I almost got into an argument with those taxi drivers yesterday." Gao Fanhua wiped his face a little ashamed, "There were a lot of taxis waiting for work at the door of that KTV, but we came out to see Lao You, and those cars were reluctant to take him, saying that they saw him drink, and they were afraid that he would vomit in the car, so I reasoned with them. Later, there happened to be a taxi parked on the side of the road, and someone got out of the car, so we went over and asked, whether to pull or not, the driver was very happy, and directly turned on the co-pilot and let Lao You get in the car, so we went back to continue singing and drinking. ”

"Do you still have an impression of the license plate number of the taxi?"

"No, we really didn't expect Lao You to have an accident, so we think that aren't all young and beautiful girls who are generally afraid of accidents, we are like those who will go for half a hundred in a few years, who can do anything to us, so no one cares." Gao Fanhua regretted it, "I would have remembered it if I had known!" ”

Tang Hongye felt that if he really drank the fragments, even if he had the intention to remember it at the time, he would definitely not be able to remember it now, so he asked him: "Put aside the license plate number first, then you can always remember which KTV you sent You Xinghua away last night, right?" ”

"Remember, remember! I remember that! If I can't remember this, then I'll be a fool! Gao Fanhua nodded hurriedly, "What is that KTV called, what is Yunxiao or something?" ”
