The person who reported the crime was the middle-aged man in 503, and Xu Tian was not surprised at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Team Leader Chen and Xu Tian returned to the school's staff dormitory building, where the middle-aged man was anxiously waiting for the police to arrive.
"On the phone you said you were deceived? Let's talk about it! Team Leader Chen took out his notebook and said.
"I ......" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Tian and looked very ashamed. My name is Xiang Rong, and this girl is called Xia Lan in my house, and she is a student in the music department, and I don't say that you can guess that we have a relationship of mutual satisfaction. ”
"Do you have a financial dispute?" Xu Tian took over the conversation and asked.
"Yes......" Xiang Rong sat on the bed and shrugged his head. I've given her all my savings, and although I know she's just trying to get money from me, I still have some illusions that if I'm good to her, I'll be able to keep her, but I'm wrong. ”
"What time did Xia Lan leave your house yesterday?"
"It's about 2 o'clock in the morning, because she has a performance tomorrow, so no one will take care of her luggage at night, and we can't see people in our relationship, and I'm a former teacher at school, you should understand what I mean, right?"
"What is the reason for Xia Lan to move away? It's just that there is a reason for the performance, which seems a bit far-fetched. ”
"She said that her parents would come to the apartment she rented outside today, so she moved her things back temporarily, and our relationship was not for Xia Lan, so she chose to move out in the second half of the night when no one was around."
"Xia Lan's apartment has long been returned, you won't know about it, right?"
"I also found out this afternoon, because I missed her a little, so I called her when I finished the transcript at the police station in the afternoon, but the phone kept being turned off, so I went to her rented apartment to find her, and I knew that the apartment had already been vacated by her, and then I tried my best to contact the teacher of the music department, but the teacher didn't know where Xia Lan went. At this time, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, I must have been tricked by Xia Lan, she was not her parents at all, she must have found a new man, so I want you to help me find Xia Lan, I want to recover my money. ”
"How much money do you give Xia Lan in total?"
"There are about 100,000 yuan, and all my savings have been given to her."
"Did you notice anything unusual when Xia Lan went out yesterday?"
"I didn't come back until 9 o'clock yesterday, because I was very tired, I ignored her, and she left by herself in the second half of the night, but listening to you say this, I seemed to feel that there was movement outside when she opened the door, and I was too sleepy at that time, and I didn't care."
At 2 o'clock in the morning, it was the time when the 504 murder occurred, and Xu Tian felt that Xia Lan definitely knew something.
Team Leader Chen also stopped recording and glanced at Xu Tian and each other.
"What do you do now? Is it the teacher in this school? ”
"I've quit my job to do the installation of surveillance equipment outside."
"What?" A thought suddenly flashed through Xu Tian's mind. "Are you a worker installing surveillance? Has the school installed any surveillance equipment in the last two months? ”
"Yes...... Yes! Some classrooms that are suitable for examination rooms did install monitoring two months ago, although I have resigned, but with the previous relationship to pull this job over, those monitoring equipment are installed by me. ”
"Did Xia Lan ask you to adjust the surveillance video of a certain classroom?"
"It's true, Xia Lan has been very interested in the classroom every day in my place recently, especially a classroom in the Department of Literature, I am familiar with the teachers in the monitoring room, it is very simple to call up these surveillance videos, and I have been trying out the monitoring for the first two months, and these surveillance pictures are useless, I easily got them."
"Do you still have an impression of what you heard when Xia Lan left at 2 a.m.?"
"I felt like the sound of the door closing, I thought it was Xia Lan closing the door of my house, because the sound was very loud, I opened my eyes and looked up, but at that time Xia Lan had not left my house, the door of my house was still ajar, Xia Lan was pulling her suitcase and was about to leave!"
"Is that the sound of the door closing next door?"
"I guess so! But...... Why do you keep asking me these questions? Are you investigating yesterday's homicide from my mouth? Didn't I confess everything at the police station? Why do you have to ask me again? ”
"Now I'm asking you for clues about Xia Lan, because the time when Xia Lan left your house yesterday happened to be the time period when the deceased was killed, so we speculate that Xia Lan may see the murderer."
"Then I don't know, I looked up at Xia Lan who was standing at the door, she turned around to say hello to me, and then closed the door and left, and I went back to sleep."
"The question about Xia Lan is almost over, we will try to help you find Xia Lan, but you had better be mentally prepared, Xia Lan's identity may be complicated."
"I understand what you mean, there are a lot of men around her, but she seems to have a kind of magic, as long as she touches her, she will be conquered, although I am angry that she talks to others on the phone every day, but seeing her innocent face, I can't be angry."
"On the phone? By the way, you came back yesterday around half past nine, right? Did you see anything in the hallway at that time? ”
"I didn't see anything in the hallway, but I saw you downstairs, and that's where you left, right?"
Xu Tian thought about it, it seemed that he did leave at that time yesterday.
"Has Xia Lan been packing her luggage since you came back yesterday?"
"Almost! She was busy after I went to bed, so she cleaned up and left. ”
"Did Xia Lan call anyone else during this time?"
"I don't know, because I'm so tired, I'll sleep when I come back."
"Okay, about Xia Lan, if you think of any useful clues, remember to tell me in time."
"No problem, now I don't have any hope for Xia Lan, I just want to recover my money."
Xu Tian and Team Leader Chen left Xiang Rong's house, and the two studied the case in the open space next to the garden downstairs.
"Xu Tian, this Xia Lan may have really seen something, do you think Xia Lan will have anything to do with the 504 case?" Team Leader Chen asked.
"There must be a connection, at least Xia Lan must have witnessed the person with the knife, that is, the person who cut off the head of the deceased, as for whether the person with the knife was the one who suffocated the deceased to death, it is still inconclusive. By the way, the forensic doctor firmly determined how the deceased died of suffocation? Covered with mouth and nose covered? Or was it strangled by the neck? ”
"Strangled by the neck, and the deceased struggled."
"That means that the deceased and the murderer have at least met, but the deceased did not shout loudly, if the crime scene is at 504, if the deceased shouts, other neighbors will definitely hear it."
"It's really incomprehensible, and now if you find Xia Lan, it will be much easier to solve the case."
