Chapter 17: Old Photographs
The footprints on the ground are very dusty, and they are obviously recent, that is, someone has entered this room recently, but it is not possible to determine the extent of the last few days for the time being.
Su Tingting reached out and touched the switch on the wall, and of course, it was impossible for a house that had not been lived in for more than ten years to still be electric. So she turned around and took a few steps back, reaching out to push the security door open completely, and turning on the flashlight function of her phone.
At the same time, Zhao Ming squatted down and took some photos at close range, planning to go back to the police station to compare, so that he could know how long these footprints were left and the size of the corresponding shoes.
Cautiously walked forward a little further, "There should be only one person who came in," Zhao Ming said.
"It looks like it's supposed to be a size 42, a size 43 shoe, it's a man." Su Tingting said this after observing it.
The two of them walked around and pulled open the old dusty curtains on the side of the living room window, which were not thick, in fact only a thin layer. However, because of the darker color, the sunlight outside is still basically blocked.
The curtains were opened, and the house suddenly became brighter. Zhao Ming and Su Tingting separated, and the two quickly checked the kitchen, bathroom and room.
They didn't find anything suspicious other than the footprints left on the ground, and it was clear that this would definitely not be a murder scene.
But...... Zhao Ming stood in the living room and looked around again, he felt as if something was not right, but for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong.
As a result, the sensitivity of being a woman is reflected. Su Tingting opened her mouth, "There are too many things in the house. ”
Zhao Ming woke up suddenly, yes, this is it.
"The family moved away, but the sofa and coffee table in the house, and even the TV and refrigerator, which were worth a lot of money more than ten years ago, have been left behind." Su Tingting walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen as she spoke, and she reached out and opened the refrigerator door.
The refrigerator was empty, but there were many photos of the refrigerator door that were also full of dust.
Su Tingting closed the refrigerator and looked at the photos. "Normal people move, even if they have to move far away and they can't take the furniture with them, they will at least sell them."
Zhao Ming nodded, this is indeed what a normal person would do. Of course, there are other possibilities. For example, the homeowner is very rich, or that when they left, they planned to come back after a while.
Zhao Ming felt that this was very likely, and the biggest reason was that it was obvious that the homeowners were not in a hurry when they left, and they carefully cleaned up the house.
Zhao Ming said so, but Su Tingting frowned slightly.
Although today is only the third day of the two working together, Zhao Ming has already mastered a little bit of Su Tingting's rules. For example, if she finds something suspicious, Su Tingting will frown like now.
"Tell me, what's the problem?" Zhao Ming walked up to Su Tingting and asked.
"These photos," Su Tingting stretched out her hand and pointed, "You see how happy the family of three is smiling in the photos, this couple may not be under thirty years old when they took the photo." The boy should have been four or five years old. ”
"Such a family of three, if they want to leave, the furniture left behind may be explained by the fact that they are very rich. But why is this kind of photograph that symbolizes family happiness left behind? ”
After speaking, Su Tingting seemed to remember something, and suddenly ran into the bedroom again. When she came out, she had some dusty picture frames in her hand.
In the frame, there is also a family of three smiling happily, one of the photos should have been taken when he was out going out, the photo shows the little boy carrying a small school bag, which looks like he is simulating the future of school;
If you look at these photos, this should be a very happy family.
But Zhao Ming has been doing this business for too long, and he has long learned a truth, superficial things such as photos and appearances can deceive people.
What I said was maybe, "Since Room 402 is not a murder scene, there is no need for them to waste too much time there."
It also happened that Shi Hao brought the phone and said that he had found the information of Sun Fang's mother and daughter. So the two drove back.
In the car, Zhao Ming said this to Su Tingting, because considering that Su Tingting is still very young and full of beautiful fantasies about the future, when Zhao Ming opened his mouth, he paid great attention to the wording, "Maybe the couple had a discordant relationship later, maybe someone cheated and someone had an affair, or even worse, the child was found not to be biological." ”
Before Zhao Ming's words were finished, Su Tingting had already interrupted with an unhappy face, "Please, why are your thoughts so dark?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ming smiled and did not argue about it. "I mean, those photos were dropped, and there are actually many explanations, and they can't be called suspicious."
"I think you're wrong." Su Tingting was stubborn, "The family of three in the photo is very happy, and the smiles on their faces can't be pretended." ”
Zhao Ming didn't speak again, returned to the police station, drank a sip of water, and after getting the information of Sun Fang's mother and daughter from Shi Hao, Zhao Ming, as the main person in charge of this case, took Su Tingting and got into the car non-stop.
Sun Fang's address is right in the city, which is good news. The bad news is that Zhao Ming knows that place, which is an urban village.
From a certain point of view, the urban village is actually worse than the Maple Leaf community.
The environment is terrible, and the law and order are basically a mess, mostly some petty theft, but in the past few years, there have also been criminal cases there.
Why say so much? Zhao Ming knew the reason clearly in his heart. The reason is not complicated, in short, he does not want to go to that place.
In Zhao Ming's view, there is too much cruelty that a human being really shouldn't enjoy. That kind of cruelty is a bit too much to accept, even for a criminal cop like him, who has been dealing with criminal cases for the past ten years.
Su Tingting, who was in the co-pilot, tilted her head and looked at Zhao Ming, her mouth moved, but after all, no words came out, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After entering the urban village and finding a spacious place to park the car, Zhao Ming, according to his impression of the last time he came here, took more than 20 minutes to find the corresponding address from the already blurred door number.
The building where the address is located is a row of illegal houses, which have been privately divided into twenty square rooms, and if the information is correct, Sun Fang and her daughter live in one of the partition houses.
I have to ask, these partition houses don't have house numbers, and you have to ask people to know which room Sun Fang's mother and daughter are in.
There were already residents nearby who cast very vigilant glances at the two of them, and Su Tingting seemed to be seeing this kind of scene for the first time, and she felt a little strange.
"Why are those people staring at us?" Su Tingting asked in a low voice.
Zhao Ming shook his head with a bitter smile, "They are afraid that we are here to drive them away, don't talk about these things, you look kind, go and inquire where Sun Fang's mother and daughter live." ”
The atmosphere here was indeed too depressing for Zhao Ming.
After the envoy drove Su Tingting, Zhao Ming found a shaded place and lit a cigarette. He glanced at the materials he had printed out of the system.
Sun Fang on the information is a very weak-looking girl, such a girl should not live in such a place with her five-year-old daughter.
