Chapter II

When I got out of the taxi, I stopped in front of a hotel called Yipin, and I may have found a body, but there was not much movement around. The boy followed the address and began to grope for it. It is said that you have to pass through one alley, and then turn right to two alleys to the scene of the crime. Fortunately, there is a sign on the street, otherwise there will be two ways to guess in addition to the road he just came.

An alley was on the right side of the Yipin Hotel, and he walked along an alley. It had rained all night, and there was still a lot of water in the potholes on the road. This is also considered to be in the city center, but the sanitation is obviously not up to standard, there are obviously garbage cans on the roadside, but there is still garbage all over the ground, especially the skewers that are thrown directly on the roadside, densely packed, surrounded by ants, and even slippers in the weeds on the side of the road, it is really unethical.

After walking for a while, a corner appeared, and it happened to turn right. There didn't seem to be many people on the road ahead. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a police car, and he wondered why his car wouldn't let him in. The police officers kept shuttling back and forth from the cordon, and saw that his father, who had just arrived, also walked into the cordon. Inside the cordon should be the garbage alley mentioned by Zhou Xun, and the body was found in the garbage can inside. There was only one shop with its door open, and the proprietress of the shop stood in the doorway, her head sticking out, as if she was eager to find out what was going on.

"What about the first discoverer?" Qiao Zhengbei walked into the cordon area and asked a police officer who came forward. 

"There, Team Joe." The young police officer pointed to the homeless man on the corner of the alley. 

The homeless man shuddered and curled up in a narrow corner, and the police officer questioned him, but he paid no heed. Qiao Zhengbei was about to go over, but heard someone calling him from behind. 

"Dad." 

It is his son Qiao Nan, who graduated from the Yunshi Police Academy and is currently in the criminal police internship stage.

Qiao Zhengbei beckoned him to come over, and then pointed to the homeless man in the corner and said: "That old man is the first discoverer, I guess he was frightened, just right, you go to comfort and comfort, and by the way, ask if there are any clues." ”

Qiao Nan looked in the direction of his father's finger, the old man's lips were pale, but he was wrapped in a military coat that he didn't know where to pick up, and the police officer next to him kept talking to him, and he didn't react, just kept swallowing his throat repeatedly. 

Father went to the forensic doctor, and Jonan left the alley. After a while, he reappeared with a bag of snacks.

He walked up to the old man, then squatted down, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and handed it to the old man. The old man's eyes fell on the water bottle, his body gradually stopped shaking, and he hesitated for a moment before gradually reaching out his wrinkled hand to take the water bottle. 

"Uncle, there's still food here." Qiao Nan put the whole bag of snacks in front of the old man, "There are no restaurants nearby, so I can only buy you these breads or something." The old man's face covered with dark brown age spots showed a slightly relaxed look. The old man picked up his pockets, slowly stood up along the wall, and pulled Qiao Nan out of the alley. 

At a glance, only the roadside telephone posts are pasted with various posters of his brother Leslie Cheung. 

There should be a lot of people around the same age as me in this area, and most of them are fans of my brother in their twenties now. 

It was already noon, but the clouds were so low that the sun was nowhere to be seen. Qiao Nan and the old man sat down in a makeshift shed at the bus stop. Next to it was a closed hotel called Jiajia, and diagonally opposite the hotel was the alley where the murder occurred. The alley is not big, and it is used for garbage. Although there are garbage cans, many people just throw them around and walk away in a hurry. It is said that there is a night street nearby, where most of the leftover food probably comes from, and this place has become the "home" of the old man.

The old man devoured the bread, and said in a thick accent in a hoarse voice, "I'm always around here." When I'm hungry, I'll go there to find something to eat, and there are clothes that people don't wear! The old man said this, and his words were mixed with reluctance.

"I, I never thought I'd see there, see something like that." The old man said that the corpse was that kind of thing, his eyes were closed when he spoke, obviously he did not want to recall, and his chewing speed gradually slowed down, "Those buckets have never been covered, and I wonder how they are covered today, so I opened it and looked, hey, a face full of blood, the whole body is curled up in the bucket, and the complexion is pale, like a large doll." I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move until the woman in the commissary appeared! When this person is old, he really can't stand being scared! ”

"It was found out, the deceased's name was Zhu Ying, 20 years old, a freshman student at Yunda. The bureau has already arranged for someone to go to school. After the police officer finished speaking, Qiao Zhengbei nodded, and at this time, he happened to see Qiao Nan squeezing out of the crowd. 

"How?" Qiao Zhengbei asked.

Qiao Nan shook his head, "The old man was just scared, there is no information, he has already left, I don't know where he will go." ”

Since Qiao Nan entered the internship game, every time he sees someone related to the victim, his heart will be somewhat touched, but fortunately, he recovers quickly.

Qiao Zhengbei patted his son on the shoulder and said nothing. 

Jonan surveys inside the trash can that originally contained the body.

There are four large buckets stacked in the alley, and the buckets are all the same size, which can hold a strong man of about 140 pounds, so it is more than enough to fit a girl, not to mention that there is still half of the garbage in the bucket.

The girl was placed in the first vat into the alley.

Hiding the corpse here, the murderer should be familiar with this place.

There is nothing of value in the bucket other than garbage. Then I looked at the adjacent bucket, there was also half a bucket of garbage in the bucket, there were a lot of old newspapers in it, as if something was faintly covered by dry newspapers, Qiao Nan put on gloves and opened the newspaper, it was a small bag for a lady. 

The deceased was a girl, and the bag was small and delicate, and it should have belonged to that girl. 

However, as soon as the bag was opened, Qiao Nan was disappointed, and there was nothing in it.
