Chapter 37: Red Variations
Li Zhitong and Lao Chen stepped out of the elevator, and according to the information provided by the property, two households have been excluded, and the remaining three households are on the seventh floor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Do you want to go door-to-door?" Lao Chen said.
"There's no need for that, Zhinian Tai Sui may have run away a long time ago, just now we must have been noticed by Zhinian Tai Sui after we turned off the lights opposite, and now Zhi Nian Tai Sui may not be among these three families." Li Zhitong flipped through the information and said.
"You can't escape this building."
"All three families are single tenants, one of them has just moved in, and the other two have been living here for more than a year."
"The people who just moved in should be excluded, right?"
"That's right, the ruling year Tai Sui won't be so stupid, then there are only two households left, 706 and 708."
Li Zhitong and Lao Chen knocked on 706 first, and it was a little girl who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, and there was a young man in his twenties in the room.
"Who are you looking for?" The little girl asked.
"We're the police, investigating a homicide." Li Zhitong and Lao Chen Liang said with their police officer cards.
"Murder? Are we here? The little girl looked terrified.
"No, it's the other side." Li Zhitong said as he looked around the room.
"Opposite? That...... Does it have anything to do with us? ”
"Twenty minutes ago the lights were off here, and I don't think you just came home, why?" Li Zhitong asked.
"This ......"
"We're sleeping." The young man came up and said.
"Did you see anything in the building opposite? We are looking for witnesses. ”
"Didn't see anything."
"Oh well! Excuse me. ”
After closing the door, Li Zhitong and Lao Chen knocked on 708, and the door was opened by a very well-dressed man, in his early thirties, who looked very well-mannered, but the house was very messy, and it seemed that he had just returned home, because his shirt had not been taken off.
"Hello, we are the police, there was a murder in the opposite building today, we are looking for witnesses, can you cooperate with us to investigate?"
"Murder? It's okay to cooperate with the investigation, but I just got home and I didn't see anything. ”
"Can I borrow your room? I want to see if you can see the other side from the window. ”
"Please come in!"
Li Zhitong glanced at the shoe rack first, and there was a pair of leather shoes scattered on the ground, and the hanger hanging on it supported the suit.
"Meow ......"
"Cats?" Li Zhitong said.
"Oh! I raised it. ”
"Can I see the cat?"
The cat is in the cage in the bedroom, it is a fat black cat, but the black cat has a very bad coat color and looks badly injured.
"Stray cats?"
"I picked it up a week ago, and it looked weird and pitiful, so I took it home."
There was a computer in the bedroom, and Li Zhitong hurriedly stepped forward to touch the monitor, which was cold.
I touched the router again, and it was also cold.
There is a pot of cactus on the windowsill with some wet dirt underneath the pot.
Li Zhitong moved the flower pot, and there was nothing below except the mark left by the flower pot.
"Do you still like flowers?" The man asked.
"No, just look at your windowsill, why do you want to bring cacti to the windowsill."
"It should be next to the computer, right?"
"Then why put it on the windowsill?"
"Because I was getting ready to clean up my computer, you came knocking on the door."
Li Zhitong opened the window, the air outside was cool, and the October night was already a little cold.
Finding nothing, Li Zhitong had no choice but to go out.
"What did you find?" Lao Chen asked.
"The man should have run away, but he must still be in this building, but I think it's strange, who was that man just now? I'd like I'd seen it somewhere. ”
"Isn't it too old to be the deacon?"
"I'm sure no, the man did just come back from outside, on the contrary, I was suspicious of the little couple."
"But you didn't go in just now, why?"
"There's no need, it's supposed to be a stand-in, I knew it from the moment the girl opened the door."
"So what to do now?"
"Let's knock on 706 and take a look!"
Knock knock knock......
After a few knocks, no one answered.
"It's strange, we've been here all along, and the couple shouldn't have gone out."
"Excuse me?" Li Zhitong and Lao Chen looked at each other for a moment, and then Lao Chen called the property, and about ten minutes later, the property manager came with a locksmith to open the door of 706.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Li Zhitong felt as if he had hit something, and then with a pop, the girl covered in blood was knocked to the ground by the door.
The property manager and the locksmith were already slumped on the ground in fright, and Lao Chen hurriedly called the police station.
Li Zhitong hurriedly walked past the girl's body and ran into the house, where the young man had disappeared just now.
"Lao Chen, hurry up and inform the police officers rounded up below that don't leave their posts."
The scene of the crime was a two-bedroom house, with a dismantled computer host in one bedroom and a cat litter box in the corner of the floor.
Both bedrooms had futon, but the covers and sheets had been swept away.
The bathroom had just been hastily cleaned, and the kitchen was dusty, and it looked like it hadn't been used in a while.
Lao Chen hurriedly took pictures to collect evidence, Li Zhitong rummaged through the room, and searched all the places where he could hide people, but the result was as expected, and no one was found.
Li Zhitong looked out the window, the air conditioner outside and the drainage pipe leading to the top floor were very close to the window, and it was very easy to escape from here.
"Escaped through the window?" Lao Chen came in and asked.
"That's definitely right, but I don't think the criminal escaped to the bottom of the building, he should have taken refuge in one of the six floors below, so quickly call someone to search, this time to take a carpet search, and don't let the criminal go."
"The room was cleaned up and it looked like it was stalling from the start."
"All the action was done in this half an hour, I didn't expect to play such a hand with me, we could have saved this girl, and this time we lost again."
"I didn't expect criminals to be so rampant, but as long as that kid hasn't escaped from this building, it's fine."
While they were talking, something suddenly flashed in the afterglow of Li Zhitong and Lao Chen, and something seemed to fall from above outside the window.
The two hurriedly lay on the windowsill and looked down, there was a young man lying on the lawn downstairs, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Li Zhitong and Lao Chen had already guessed a rough idea.
The two people who were originally considered to be stand-ins by Li Zhitong died in front of him like this, Li Zhitong's mood was greatly fluctuated, and at this time, the clock at zero o'clock had already struck, and in the dark corner of the city, the two evil faces let out a burst of wild laughter.
"It's been twenty years, and we're finally free."
