Chapter 43: The Ancient Town

What is lightning and thunder?

Zhao Ming put down his mobile phone, and he couldn't tell whether such a terrible spread speed of public opinion was the result of the progress of the times or the result of the murderer playing in secret.

For the time being, the media only linked the murder cases of the three Tang Ke in the past few days, and carried out a large number of repeated reports. More than ten years ago, the information of Feng Kang and the three of them has not appeared for the time being, so it can be seen that the possibility of having internal ghosts in the bureau is extremely low, after all, the bureau has already found the file of Feng Kang and the three of them.

In other words, the killer deliberately did not disclose to the media about the three murders from ten years ago for the time being. Why?

But in any case, the three victims in a row, the prominent lettering feature on the heart, is enough for the media to make more fuss about it.

The three victims are from the same murderer, and the serial murder case is characterized, and the media is very clear about the judicial definition.

So for a while, the information about a serial murderer appeared in the city after two years, and it spread rapidly. The people panicked, and then, as if taken for granted, the chameleon case was brought up two years ago.

It's better to say it's a comparison, or it's a reminder.

In short, this series of reports has led to a lot of people asking the question: "Can the police catch the murderer this time?" ”

This is where the pressure from the police comes from, and at the same time, we have to admit that the majesty of the police has once again been provoked and questioned.

Su Tingting is a young person, of course she uses her mobile phone to surf the Internet, so she has already seen the information that appears on the Internet. No more calm, no one can remain calm in the midst of this storm.

That old photo shoot was not quite part of the city more than a decade ago. Later, urban planning and the renovation of the old city were carried out, and some of the original small towns were successively zoned into the city.

It's a small town, and Zhao Ming had heard of this place before. But because there had been no homicide here, he hadn't been there.

In terms of geographical location, Su Tingting is not wrong, it is indeed very remote.

Seeing the policeman Marven at the agreed place, the three of them were a little polite, and then started the police car again. "About three years ago, the town was planned as a special town, with the intention of adding some tourism revenue to the city. Now, three years later, the town's tourism industry has also developed one after another, and it looks much better. ”

In the parking lot outside the entrance gate of the ancient town scenic spot, Marven, who got out of the car, spoke.

Standing next to the car, Zhao Ming and Su Tingting looked up at the gate of the scenic spot against the sun, the antique wooden buildings did have a lot of flavor compared to the city.

At this time of day, some tourists are entering through the ticket gates.

"Has it always been like this here?" Zhao Ming asked.

Marven smiled and shook his head while handing over a cigarette, "In the past three years, in order to build a characteristic town, the above funds have been allocated to get what it looks like now." Also, although the name is called a small town, in fact, the entire area of the town is about the same size as a normal village, and the name of the town was changed three years ago. ”

"What did you say before?" Zhao Ming lit a cigarette, there were a lot of people at the ticket gate now, and they were running inside in police uniforms, and they still had some scruples. In addition, after all, it is a scenic spot, so you have to say hello to the relevant person in charge.

"It used to be ....... rural, and it was very poor, very poor. That's why these old houses are the foundation and can be called ancient towns. Marven said.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit walked towards Zhao Ming and the others not far away.

Seeing this, Marven said something to Zhao Ming and waited for a while, and then walked towards the middle-aged man. The two chatted for a while, the middle-aged man left, and Marven walked back.

Marven smiled, "I'm sorry, let's talk as we go inside." ”

Marven took the initiative to explain, "Because I haven't been back here for many years, I learned about the situation with the person in charge of the scenic spot just now. Most of the town's current indigenous residents have left the place three years ago after accepting the offer to replace their homes. ”

Fortunately, there are still some elderly people who refuse to leave and remain in the town. If the young people in that photo had been villagers here, the old people might have known something. ”

Police officer Marven looks to be in his fifties this year, and he can't recognize the person in the photo, which is normal. After all, according to him, he had only lived here for a few years as a teenager.

Zhao Ming thanked him, and the three of them entered the ancient town together from the staff passage on the side of the gate of the scenic spot.

Su Tingting is a young girl, young and innocent and romantic. She seemed very interested in this place, and she looked left and right as if she were a tourist.

For this reason, Zhao Ming had to remind him in a whisper.

The result was good, a reminder, but in exchange for a white eye. Su Tingting, this girl, seems to be a little too comfortable.

But after all, after entering the ancient town, you can see the small bridges and flowing water, the antique, charming pavilions and pavilions, and some waterwheel mills and other embellishments........

Overall, there is something beautiful about it.

Marven is right, the area of the whole ancient town is indeed not large, and the ancient town seems to be based on the canal in the middle as the central axis, extending to both sides to build houses;

"Do you want to go to the photo shoot spot first, or do you want to go directly to the old people?" Marven asked.

At the same time, Zhao Jing and Su Tingting gave two different answers, Zhao Ming replied that he would go directly to visit the old man, and Su Tingting replied that he wanted to go to see the shooting point.

Hearing Su Tingting's answer, Zhao Ming glanced sideways, and then shook his head helplessly, "Let's go to the shooting spot." By the way, how much has the landscape changed here? ”

"The overall layout hasn't changed much, except that the houses that were going to be demolished have been renovated in the old style on the original site. The road is similar, with green bricks and west tiles, which adds a little antique taste. Marven said as he led the way.

The ancient town was not completely straight, Zhao Ming and Su Tingting followed behind Marven and made a few turns before finally stopping.

"This should be it." Marven said so.

As soon as the words came out, Su Tingting immediately took out a printout of the photo from her pocket for comparison. Although the photos are old and yellow, and although the houses here have changed somewhat. But some of the main things that can be borrowed are still there.

Su Tingting watched it several times, and then asked Zhao Ming, "I think this is it, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ming also nodded, indicating that it shouldn't be wrong.

Seeing Zhao Ming's reaction, Su Tingting turned to Marven, "We speculate that this photo was taken about fifteen to twenty years ago, you lived here, if you want you to say, the people who came here to take photos in that era were still people from this ancient town, or ........"

Ma Wenming Bai Su Tingting meant, "Actually, it's hard to say, because in that era, although this village was very poor, the scenery was okay." So although people from the city don't usually come here, it's possible for young people from some nearby villages to play around and run around. ”

Fifteen or twenty years from now, that is, eight or more years. This is indeed the case for eight years;
