Chapter 16: Unsolved Cases
"It's already past twelve o'clock, what is the matter with Sun Bin looking for me?"
On the way back, Zhao Ming had been thinking about this problem, but no matter how he conceived it, he didn't get any good results. After all, you must know that he has been working with Sun Bin for two years, and Sun Bin has never looked for him so late.
With a nervous mood, Zhao Ming walked to his floor with heavy steps, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Sun Bin leaning against the door of his room, smoking a cigarette and letting the smoke fill.
Sun Bin glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Where did you go to play so late?" ”
Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, just go out and walk around." Zhao Ming said and took out the key and prepared to open the door, "Come and sit down first, what's the urgency of the team leader looking for me?" ”
Who knew that Sun Bin waved his hand, "You don't have to sit, I received a tip, Lin Hui is in a small hotel." You come with me to see it. ”
I see. At this point, Zhao Ming's hanging heart sank slightly, and he was relieved of his burden, and his mood finally improved, "Okay, then let's go." ”
It's just that although he said this, Zhao Ming still didn't understand why Sun Bin didn't directly tell the address of the small hotel on the phone if it was just because of this incident, and let him meet there. Why do you have to wait here for him to come back?
It's a pity that I want to think about it, but this kind of question can't be asked after all.
According to the tip, the location of the small hotel is quite remote, in a small alley in an urban village, and there are no computers or other facilities in the store, and there may not even be a business license.
It took a lot of effort for Zhao Ming, who finally arrived at his destination, to knock on the dusty glass door, and from his position, he could see that the old man behind the old counter behind the door seemed to be awakened when he heard a sound.
The old man with a sleepy face saw Zhao Ming and the others, probably treating them as guests who had come to stay, and immediately greeted them with a smile.
As soon as Sun Binfu entered the store, he directly showed his police officer ID, and then before the old man could recover from his stunnedness, he took out Lin Hui's photo again, "We are from the city police department, have you seen this person?" ”
Hearing the word police, the old man, who was obviously frightened enough, trembled and reached out to take the photo, placed it under the lamp, and looked at it intently for a while, then he became more and more frightened, and his face was a little pale towards Zhao Ming and the others.
Zhao Ming saw that the old man's lips trembled a little, and he couldn't speak for a long time. "Don't be afraid, we're just here to investigate something." He couldn't help but sigh with comfort.
It's rare that this sentence actually made some difference. While the old man returned the photo tremblingly, he whispered back, "I, I've seen this person, he is a tenant of my house." ”
Sun Bin took back the photo, grasped the point, and asked cleanly, "Which room is still not there?" ”
"Yes, it should be." The old man said, shaking his arms and reaching out to the dimly lit corridor on the side, "The innermost room on the left-hand side is." ”
When the words came out, Sun Bin ran in the direction pointed by the old man without hesitation, and Zhao Ming hurriedly followed. And at this moment, the sound of a door being slammed shut sounded.
"Not good!" Sun Bin shouted, his feet sped up suddenly, and he arrived at the door of the room in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Ming, who was in a hurry to follow, asked a little breathlessly, "Team leader, where is the sound of the door closing coming from?" ”
At this time, Sun Bin couldn't care about answering, and directly knocked on the door and shouted, "Lin Hui, we are policemen, open the door quickly." ”
The old man, who was a little frightened, followed tremblingly, and he didn't know whether he was afraid that Sun Bin and the others would kick the door open, or for some other reason, so he hurriedly handed over a bunch of keys in his hand as if he were courteous.
After knocking on the door for a while, but getting no response, Sun Bin took the key and opened the door.
Probably expected this situation, Zhao Ming was not too surprised in his heart, and then saw that the window facing the street was open at the moment. I guess I had just heard their conversation with the old man, and fled in a hurry.
Most of the time, the rooms in the small hotel were the same filthy and messy, and from the scene of the scene, except for the beds that were a little messy and the old-fashioned black-and-white television was playing the news, the other furniture in the room seemed to have not been touched.
Sun Bin's eyes scanned the entire room sharply, and then asked, "Didn't you say he was still here?" ”
When the old man heard this, he nodded his head like a chicken, "I saw him come back when I ate at seven o'clock, wearing a black hat, a scruffy beard, and wrinkled clothes, I shouldn't be mistaken." ”
Scold! Such a response may not be a big deal to Sun Bin. But for Zhao Ming, it was like a bolt from the blue, because he felt that the person described by the old man was not the sloppy man who took a step ahead of him during the day, stole the money, and had a one-sided relationship!
Zhao Ming didn't dare to imagine what kind of blame he would receive if Sun Bin knew that he had met Lin Hui but didn't know what kind of blame he would receive.
Sun Bin walked quickly to the window, leaned out half of his body and looked at both sides of the street, naturally, there was no possibility of Lin Hui's figure.
Although it seems that there will be no evidence left in the house, it is really difficult to protect Lin Hui because of the panic of fleeing. So Zhao Ming and the two dolls searched carefully, sealed the room, and notified the evidence collection department before leaving.
"Team leader, what the hell is going on, if Zhang Qin committed suicide, and Lin Hui didn't get home until nearly a little later, then he shouldn't be a murderer, why did he run away?"
Sun Bin shook his head: "People's hearts are unpredictable. ”
At this time, Zhao Ming thought of a possibility, "Team leader, do you think it will be a false accusation?" ”
"How?"
"According to our investigation, Lin Hui is an honest office worker who often gets off work late at night, will it be said that someone forced Zhang Qin to commit suicide at Lin Hui's home, using a fruit knife stained with Lin Hui's fingerprints. So in the early hours of the morning, as soon as Lin Hui came home and saw such a scene, and then saw the murder weapon, he naturally chose to escape. ”
"Then why didn't he call the police?"
"Uh." Zhao Ming was a little speechless for a while, "Maybe I watched too much TV news and felt that the police would immediately arrest him as a murderer." ”
"Well, maybe it's possible." Sun Bin responded in a deep voice, and suddenly his words turned around, "Xiao Zhao, are you sleepy?" ”
In fact, Zhao Ming, who had been running around for a day, was indeed a little sleepy, but he understood what Sun Bin meant by asking, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"I heard that Zhang Qin used to be a staff member of the Oriental Bathhouse before his death, and now at this time, it should be the time when the bathhouse is lively, why don't we go and have some supper by the way."
To be honest, Zhao Ming really didn't want to appear in the Oriental Bath again, especially after that incident with Liu Xiaoya at night, he was even more afraid of what if Liu Xiaoya showed any behavior that would make Sun Bin suspicious when she saw him.
However, Sun Bin had already spoken, and Zhao Ming naturally couldn't refuse, and he was afraid that Sun Bin would be suspicious on the spot.
"Okay." Zhao Ming agreed, and then found an opportunity, and when he was going to go to the toilet, he hurriedly called Liu Xiaoya, planning to instruct.
What's the matter, until Sun Bin started urging outside, the phone couldn't get through, and in a hurry, Zhao Ming had to send a text message, hoping that Liu Xiaoya could receive it in time.
"Team leader, do you have any thoughts on this case?" After getting out of the taxi, he saw the splendid and atmospheric signboard of the Oriental Bath from a distance, and Zhao Ming pretended to ask casually.
"Huh? Why do you ask that? ”
"I just feel like you're particularly sad about this, team leader, and you seem to be a little familiar with the case." Zhao Ming said, realizing a possibility, "Team leader, shouldn't you have encountered a similar case before?" ”
Hearing this, Sun Bin stopped abruptly and stared at Zhao Ming with a complicated expression, as if he was talking spontaneously, which made Zhao Ming feel weird and terrifying.
After a long time, Sun Bin nodded, "Xiao Zhao, your observation has been a lot stronger recently, indeed, I have encountered a similar case, and that was ten years ago." ”
"How did that case end up solved?"
"The case has not been solved!"
