Chapter 7: The Missing Photographs
Zhuang Ling took the missing photo back to the police station.
The photo was supposed to be covered in dust, but it was recently wiped and the corners of the photo were dusted.
Liu Mei in the photo is still very young, probably in her thirties, and she is wearing the same pair of rain boots. Li Fu is thin, with a pair of black-framed glasses, and looks polite.
The background of the photo is the temple. Li Fu and Liu Mei were holding a five or six-year-old child, and their faces were full of happy smiles.
The child's head in the photo was cut off with a knife. There is a white leak in the cut marks, which should have been freshly cut.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Ling and Li Zhiyuan met.
Li Zhiyuan was wearing a black coat and a black cap, dressed in black. He has dark skin, a cigarette pinned to his ear, and is about 1.8 meters tall. His hands are covered with calluses, and this is a middle-aged man who has been doing hard work all year round, exposed to the wind and sun every day, and has suffered from wind and frost. Li Zhiyuan and Zhuang Ling are the same year, but Li Zhiyuan's head is full of white hair.
Li Zhiyuan sat on a chair in the interrogation room and wept silently.
"Hello, I'm Officer Zhuang in charge of this case. Are you Li Zhiyuan? ”
"Yes. When I learned about it, I immediately bought a plane ticket and rushed back from out of town. I haven't been home for over three years, and I haven't even seen them for the last time. Li Zhiyuan's voice was a little hoarse.
"Please mourn. We promise you'll find the killer. We have some questions for you about the death of your parents. ”
"Okay." Li Zhiyuan nodded.
"Do you remember this picture?"
"I remember that this was a photo I took in front of the temple on my first day of elementary school. I went to boarding school since elementary school. That was the first time I left them. We worshipped the Buddha that day, and they prayed that the Buddha would bless me with good grades when I entered primary school. ”
"Then why did you get cut off in this picture?"
"I don't know, maybe they got angry when they quarreled and cut it off."
"Do they quarrel a lot?"
"Hmm. They quarreled a lot when I was very young. ”
"Have you been in contact with them lately?"
"Nope." Li Zhiyuan took off the cigarette on his ear, took out the lighter in his pocket, lit the cigarette butt, and smoked it himself.
Obviously, Li Zhiyuan was a little impatient with Zhuang Ling's interrogation.
Zhuang Ling didn't smoke, and the smell of smoke in the air choked him. Zhuang Ling ended the conversation.
Li Zhiyuan got up with a chair and limped out of the reception room.
"What's wrong with your feet?" Li Zhiyuan's abnormality attracted Zhuang Ling's attention.
"I injured my foot on the construction site the other day. It will be fine in a few days, and on the construction site, it is normal to get a little injured. Li Zhiyuan quickened his pace and left the police station.
"Team Hu, send someone to investigate Li Zhiyuan's itinerary." With many years of work experience, Zhuang Ling felt that Li Zhiyuan must have something to hide.
"Okay." It was a strange young woman who answered. With straight hair in a shawl, a beautiful appearance, a fresh temperament, an invincible atmosphere of youth, and a sweet and lovely smile on his face.
"You're new here?" Zhuang Ling had never seen the woman in front of him.
"Yes." She bowed her head slightly and replied softly.
"Officer Zhuang, she is new here, her name is Cui Ziyue, you can call her Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue is an intern female graduate student, and she has been studying with you for three months. She will also assist you in your work. Team Hu introduced Cui Ziyue.
"Hello, Officer Zhuang. I've been learning from you for three months, so please give me a lot of advice. Xiao Yue's hand clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, she was interning for the first time, and she was inexperienced, so she looked very nervous. She thought Officer Zhuang was a very serious and cold person.
"Well, good. Xiaoyue, you don't have to be nervous. At present, this case of not finding the murderer is very valuable for learning, this is information, you can take a look. Zhuang Ling handed the information to this slightly immature girl.
"I'll look into it. At the same time, Li Zhiyuan's whereabouts were investigated. ”
Because of Zhuang Ling's gentle tone, Xiao Yue was not so nervous, he breathed a sigh of relief, and left with the task.
