Chapter 52: The Missing Key

Du Juan felt a little embarrassed, she was uncomfortable all over her body, she never thought that Yin Mei, who was usually quite silent, why did she have such a loose mouth when she shouldn't talk too much. Her old colleagues only knew that she was a job transfer, but they didn't know that this job transfer was something she had worked hard for a long time, and it was impossible to know what the reason for her efforts to fight for this job transfer was, of course, her relationship with Huang Shuai was far from being close enough to say the reason for this, and they would also not be embarrassed to let others know that they were in a hurry to rent a house, which was the result of being put together by their parents and Tang's father and Tang's mother.

"It's okay, it's okay, no, I really don't need it, I understand your kindness, I'm just a short-term situation," she hurriedly waved her hand at Huang Shuai, "I brought enough money to come, but on the day we arrived, I met a lady whose money was stolen at the train station, and her wife was in a hurry to use the money for surgery, so I lent it to her, and it will be fine after she pays me back, don't worry." ”

"Are you really sure that old lady will pay you back? You didn't press her ID card or anything......" Huang Shuai was a little worried, "It's not that I think people too badly, it's mainly that this kind of thing has been a bit too much in recent years." ”

"No, it's fine, don't worry." Du Juan said with a smile, not that she really had enough confidence in that old lady who had never known her life, but she didn't want to discuss these things with Huang Shuai too much.

Huang Shuai is an interesting person, so he didn't say anything more when he saw this, and ended the topic, just smiled and said to Du Juan: "Okay, in fact, I also hope that there are still many honest and good people in this society, so how much easier our work will be!" However, let's not talk about the possibility that the old lady deliberately owes money and does not pay it back, let's just say that if her family is sick over there, she will not be able to pay you for a while, if you have any urgent needs here, but don't be polite to me, as the old saying goes, the poor family is rich, you leave home to such a place where you are not familiar with life, don't you have to rely on friends for any difficulties! If you really need help, just talk to me! ”

"Okay, don't worry, I won't be polite to you when there is such a time!" Du Juan expressed his gratitude to Huang Shuai, in fact, when she was in the original unit, she and Huang Shuai were not very close people, but compared to Yin Mei's character, they would definitely be more familiar, and the impression of Huang Shuai was that he was quite easy-going and cheerful, and seemed to be more enthusiastic, as for more, she had no concept, so if there was really anything, I am afraid it was unlikely that she would trouble a former colleague with this level of friendship for the first time, but it was that people said it very warmly and thoughtfully, I can't show so much unappreciation, and it seems very difficult to get along with.

The two of them chatted all the way to the path below the hillside, because it was Huang Shuai who called and contacted the Public Security Bureau, so he made another phone call to inquire about it, and learned that the colleagues of the criminal technology were about to arrive, Huang Shuai and Du Juan helped each other on the phone according to the experience they had found all the way to provide each other with some surrounding features that could be used to determine the direction, and after less than five minutes, two cars in the distance drove from the other end of the road bumpy towards this side, although the cuckoo was officially turned over, Huang Shuai is temporarily seconded, but at this stage, for the two of them, they are all the same strangers, after the other party got out of the car, they briefly introduced each other, and then returned to the place where Ding Zhengqing's car was found.

The group came to the vicinity of the car, Tang Hongye also happened to come back from the forest, he has been working in the Public Security Bureau of A City for a long time, and he is usually the type of personality that is particularly outgoing and talkative, so he is very familiar with colleagues from other departments who can always deal with him, and when he saw a few people who came over, he greeted them with a smile, and the criminal skills asked about the general situation here, Tang Hongye told Huang Shuai before, and what he found out by himself communicated with others. After that, the colleagues of the criminal technology began to inspect the car and the surrounding area, and Tang Hongye went to the side to tell the cuckoo about his observations in the forest.

"Now this season, the weeds all over the ground are too delayed," he shook his head at Huang Shuai and the cuckoo, "I used to learn ancient poetry when I was in school, and I said that the wildfire burned inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blew and grows, so I just carried it, and I didn't think much about it at all, but now I look at it, it's really amazing, this weed in the mountains is really tenacious enough, I stepped on it, and immediately stood up, I couldn't see anything at all, I could still vaguely see the traces of being stepped on again at the beginning, and I looked for a section forward, and then I couldn't find anything, But after I walked a little further, I found a more interesting thing, although I didn't go there, but I could see it from a distance, and I followed this gentle slope all the way to the end, and went to the south, which is the hillside that Tian Siliu ran away from that night. ”

Huang Shuai was not very familiar with the name Tian Siliu, he frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, until he saw Du Juan have a suddenly realized expression on his face after listening to Tang Hongye's words, then he came back to his senses and asked: "Is there any progress in the two days since I went back, and what information has broken the chain?" ”

Du Juan simply told Huang Shuai about Tian Siliu's situation.

Tang Hongye waited for her to briefly introduce the situation, and then said: "This hill is not high, but it is quite long, didn't I say it just now, going south is the hillside where Tian Siliu escaped that night, but if you keep going north, go south along this ridge, guess where you can lead?" ”

Du Juan looked in the direction of his hand, if it was in the city, she would have a stronger sense of direction in the south, east and west, but when she got to the mountain, she couldn't figure out the situation, but combined with the route that she and Tang Hongye rushed over, she still quickly realized what Tang Hongye's discovery was: "Ding Kangshun The village where their family is located?" When we went to Ding Kangshun's house from the village where Ding Kangqiang's house was located, the road we walked around the mountain, and it felt quite far, just now from Ding Kangshun's house, it was a small half circle from the other direction, in fact, there is such a ridge between the two villages, like a screen separating the two villages, if you walk from the forest like this, the distance may not be so far. ”

"I believe that for villagers who are familiar with their surroundings, there is no difficulty at all in navigating through a mountain of this height and a forest of this density, and they will not lose their way." Tang Hongye nodded, and he asked Huang Shuai again, "Is the car key in the car?" ”

"It shouldn't be, we didn't dare to flip inside, we just opened the door with gloves and looked, at least there was no trace of the car keys within sight." Huang Shuai shook his head at him.

"That's even more interesting," Tang Hongye set his eyes on the car that was being photographed and fingerprinted by his colleagues in criminal technology, and the covering on the car had been carefully removed after the photo was taken, "The branches and leaves on the car have been carefully replaced with fresh ones, and the car keys are not in the car...... It's kind of interesting. If the car key had been in there, and the branches and leaves that had been used as a 'protective color' had not been replaced, the car would have been discarded here. If the simple car key is not there, and the leaves and branches on it are obviously dry, it is very likely that Ding Zhengqing himself hid the car here for some purpose, such as to avoid the limelight, and then come to pick up the car when the limelight has passed. But now the car key is not there, and the branches and leaves have been replaced in the past two days, the biggest possibility is that someone has hidden the car here, and does not want to be discovered, and wants to wait for Ding Zhengqing's matter to pass, and then dispose of the car by himself - the person who hid the car is quite precious to this car, maybe it is worth a little money even if he buys second-hand at the moment! ”

"If this car is sold now, how much will it cost?" Du Juan, like many girls, only has a general brand concept of the car, and she doesn't know anything about the specific price of what model and configuration, she only knows that the brand of Ding Zhengqing's car will not be the price of cabbage even if it is the most basic model.

Tang Hongye roughly estimated: "It is estimated that even if it is purchased at a low price, it can be sold for at least 200,000 yuan, after all, it is a new model that has just been on the market for more than half a year, and the car condition is maintained quite well from the surface, there is no obvious surface abrasion, you can see it from the window just now, the interior is not bad, it is definitely not standard, but after all, I am not a professional engaged in second-hand car trading, so I can only roughly estimate it." ”

"200,000 is not a small amount, especially for people who are short of money at home, but if you hide the car in the name of the victim of a criminal case and plan to sell it, there is still a lot of risk, and it is not so easy to operate...... Du Juan frowned, "I can drive, the driving level is not bad, I have a certain understanding of the surrounding environment, and I also have to take the risk to regularly check the hidden status of the car, and then plan to sell it for money...... I can think of several individual items that may be more consistent, but all of them are a bit too much to scrutinize......"

Tang Hongye didn't speak, his thoughts were similar to Du Juan's, and there was no way to lock any object of suspicion, that is to say, in this matter, the two of them were incompatible, but he couldn't make further judgments than Du Juan, which made Tang Hongye a little annoyed inexplicably, but in front of Huang Shuai, he was not embarrassed to show any emotions, so he simply didn't express his opinion.

Soon the situation inside the car was generally dealt with, the car as an important evidence was to be towed back for further professional inspection, the harvest of the forensic colleagues was not much different from what they expected, there were no traces of careful wiping in the car, a large number of fingerprints were extracted in the car, there were sundries in the car, lighters, chewing gum, only half a pack of cigarettes, advertising leaflets, and even a piece of chocolate that had melted to a pulp, but only the car key could not be found.

When the car was parked here, it was covered with a rain cloth and the windows were closed, but this could not make the car a vacuum-filled sealed space, so a thin layer of dust was found in the car. Especially after being covered, such a thin layer of ash can fall from various gaps, which can show that the car has been parked here for a few days longer than the day when they received the report to deal with Ding Zhengqing's murder.

Then Ding Zhengqing's car was carefully transferred to the path below the hillside and dragged back to the city by trailer, Huang Shuai did not leave with the others, but chose to stay.

"There's nothing special to continue to deal with over there, I'll stay here to help you, otherwise I'm afraid you two won't be busy here, or some things are not very convenient or something, I'm here, and we can also beat Zhuge Liang with three stinkers." After Huang Shuai finished speaking, seeing that Tang Hongye was silent, he suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Yo, did I say the wrong thing?" It seems that you have accidentally lowered the ability level of the three of us, right? I'm stupid, I usually talk with my mouth faster than my brain, and before I can think clearly, my mouth will be said first, Hongye, don't go to your heart! ”

"Look at what you said, I look like such a cautious person!" Tang Hongye didn't think of that layer at all, and he didn't react, but now seeing Huang Shuai's appearance of hurriedly explaining because of the improper use of words, he was also a little helpless, "I'm a very easy person to get along with, and you'll know after a long time." ”

Huang Shuai smiled and nodded, the three of them had been tossing for so long, they had already passed lunch time, and they were sweating a lot outside, so they decided to go back to the farmhouse first, eat something, rest a little, and then go to the next person who needed to talk to Sheng Xingwang's house according to the original plan.

When returning to the farmhouse, Tang Hongye proposed to take a shortcut from the woods to try, Du Juan had no opinion on this, and Huang Shuai naturally didn't say anything, so the three of them followed the general direction that Tang Hongye had walked before towards the village where Ding Kangqiang's old house was located.
