Chapter 4: The Vanishing Image 1

The surveillance video frequently switches between snowflakes and black and white images, but it can't stop the hope in everyone's eyes from disappearing in an instant in the disappointed expressions on their faces.

"Hell, I still haven't found out." Han Xing, who had a loud voice, vented.

"No, at least we can suspect that someone has manipulated the surveillance footage." Deng Haoran said, and deliberately glanced at Long Xirui.

"Da Huo, your confession that day said that the security guards on duty that night were you and Wu Bi." Shi Mingzhu flipped through her notebook and said, "You said that you didn't find anything unusual in the community that night, but someone found the victim in the suitcase at 6 o'clock in the morning, and you arrived at the scene." ”

"Did you do something to the surveillance?" Han Xingbi asked.

Da Huo suddenly became nervous, and said tremblingly, "No...... Not me! That...... That...... When someone reported the crime, didn't you block everything as soon as you came? Although the manager didn't ask you to adjust the monitoring, everything is sealed, and you didn't just uncover it? He looked at Shi Mingzhu with wide eyes.

"What about the period between 3 and 6 o'clock that day?" "You have plenty of time to do something. ”

"I ...... I ......"

"What were you doing all that time?" Deng Haoran's eyes were like torches, and Da Huo didn't dare to look at him.

"Forget it, I said, die or die." He sat on the chair, lowered his head, and said slowly, "That day it was me and Wubi on the night shift, and I was the most reluctant to work with him. I nicknamed him the big dung vicky. ”

Han Xing next to him couldn't help but laugh "poof": "Meet the big dung Vicky!" It's still a Yugoslav nickname! ”

"That's right! The people of their country are 'this vic', 'that vic'. Da Huo continued.

Shi Mingzhu nudged Han Xing, reminding him that when he saw Deng Haoran's serious expression, the smile stopped abruptly on his face.

"Let's talk about what you all did that day." Shi Mingzhu said.

"That night, the two of us finished patrolling the neighborhood around 12 o'clock as usual, and then we started watching the ball game. The gate of the community is open 24 hours, although we security guards are required to work night shifts and not sleep or do other things, but because there has never been any problems in the community, we are not so serious. We were both fans and the match that day was Serie A Lecce vs AC Milan......"

"That's right, I watched that game too." Han Xing interjected.

"AC Milan conceded 1 goal, I originally thought that Lecce, known as Little Pepper, was a difficult bone to gnaw, but Wu Bifei said that AC Milan would win by a big score, and persuaded me to put the bet on AC Milan, but the ball was played, AC Milan met the big dung vicky more than the dung vicky, and the final score was 3:4, causing me to lose hundreds of yuan."

"AC Milan won and you still lost?" Shi Mingzhu asked.

At this time, Han Xing explained: "Before the game, the opening handicap is 1 goal, and you have to win more than 2 goals to win." ”

"Let him continue." Deng Haoran motioned for the two to shut up.

"I lost money and was very irritable, but Wubi slept like a dead pig. But as soon as he got into bed, I couldn't sleep, it was so delicious. His description made everyone present look pained. I had to sit by the window with my laptop and surf the Internet. In the second half of the night, I gradually became sleepy, but for a moment, I seemed to hear a voice outside. His tone suddenly tensely increased, and the people around him pricked up their ears attentively. The place where I was sitting was far away from the surveillance video display, and I was in a bad mood at the time, so I wanted to wake up Wubi to look at the surveillance. After calling a few times, he just promised not to move the place, but instead asked me to go to see the surveillance. I said to him, 'If you don't go, I won't go.'" Then I fell asleep on the table without knowing it. At around 6 o'clock, there was a commotion in the community, and Wu Bi and I went over to find out that something had happened. Later, you all came, and the monitoring equipment was blocked by you. ”

"When did you say you heard a voice outside? What kind of sound is that? Long Xirui asked.

"At 3:15, yes, I remember looking at the time on my laptop. As for what sound, it's a kind of ......" Da Huo frowned.

"Is it footsteps?" Deng Haoran asked.

"No, the window is not close to the door, and even the sound of footsteps is not easy to hear. The sound was like...... It's like a grinding sound, a bit like the rustle of leaves in the wind, but it's different. ”

"It could be the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground." Deng Haoran looked at Long Xirui with a little excitement and said, "The box for Pixi is the kind of suitcase with trolleys and wheels that is commonly used in airplanes. ”

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. By the way, you haven't interrogated Wu Bi yet, maybe he did something to monitor while I was asleep. ”

"You fart!" Everyone followed the sound and saw a fat man in a security uniform standing at the door. The crowd had been so engrossed in listening that no one noticed when he came.

"Anyway, it's just the two of us, it's not me, that's you! You sent it to the door yourself. ”

"Thankfully, I came just in time, behind my back, what good words can you say? All the basins are on my head. The more Wu Bi spoke, the more angry he became.

"Do you still need me to buckle the basin? You're a piece of, and you stink so badly (Wubi), look at your broken name. Da Huo said and stood up, pointing his finger at the martial arts pen and said.

"Your name is good, and the great disaster (Da Huo) is coming! Yes, you're about to come to disaster. Manager, fire him for squid, he goes to pornographic websites as soon as he works the night shift, gambles, and fiddles with his broken laptop all night, the surveillance must be his hands and feet, you wait to go to jail. ”

Da Huo was furious when he heard this, and he picked up his right fist and was about to hit Wu Bi in the face, but Han Xing next to him grabbed his arm.

Wu Bi did not show weakness, and raised a chair in his right hand and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Deng Haoran.

The movement of the two men is restricted, but the war of words continues.

"See if I don't break your stinky mouth, it stinks!"

"You are just about to come to a catastrophe, you are not alone!"

"Enough! Reason is not loud, you both shut up. Deng Haoran shouted, "The truth can't be deleted, our forensic evidence can restore the videotape, and the truth will be revealed when the time comes." Of course, if someone is willing to confess now, we will be lenient. ”

The two men didn't seem to hear him at all, and they still glared at each other angrily, with a look of disdain.

"Manager, we need to bring back the whole set of monitoring equipment."

"No problem, Captain Deng."

"At that time, if there are any findings, you may have to ask a few people to assist in the investigation." After Deng Haoran finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Da Huo and Wu Bi respectively.

"The police officers said just now, resist strictly, and those who know each other should quickly and honestly explain, so as to save the police officers trouble." Wu Bi shouted at Da Huo.

"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do. Don't shout at the thief to catch the thief. Da Huo replied.

"That's it! It's not enough to disgrace my face! Get back to me. The long-silent manager finally broke out.

"Manager, it's the two of us on night duty again today." Da Huo said.

The manager glanced at his watch and smiled slyly. "There's still time, you two hurry up, maybe it's time for the opening whistle of the game."

Deng Haoran asked Han Xing and Shi Mingzhu to send the surveillance equipment to the forensic department in the police van, and then only he and Long Xirui were left. At this time, the two people were not just a policeman and a private detective, but more a man and a woman, and the night above them seemed quiet and serene.

"I'll send you back." Deng Haoran opened the door of his car.

She smiled back like moonlight, telling him that she hadn't refused, and that his body couldn't refuse a heart-pounding pleasure that had been granted.

The speed was slow, as if it would stretch the time a little longer, and the slightly awkward silence seemed to make it even longer.

The long-vanished electronic sound of the pupil ringed in her ears. "Ciri, he's not waiting to say goodnight to you. Just now, there were angels and demons, and their rhetoric went to heaven and earth, but now they are dumb. ”

"Don't talk too much." Her voice was small, but inevitably she made it hear.

As he was about to speak, he looked puzzled: "But at least I should ask where you live." "There was a T-junction ahead, and there was a car honking behind him, so he had no choice but to turn right.

"Baihuilin, it's on the other side." She turned her head and said in a very small voice, "You messed it up." The latter sentence was addressed to the night pupil, but it still didn't escape his astute ears.

"It was because Columbus took the wrong path that he discovered the New World. Since your time is wasted, it is better to find a meaningful topic to redeem it. What do you think about the vanishing image? ”

β€œsorry!”

"It seems like I'm the one who should say sorry."

"Okay, let's get down to business, if the murderer is just one person, then it's not Da Huo or Wu Bi."

"Why?"

"Do they both look like orthopedic surgeons?"

He smiled and nodded.

"What the two of them want to cover up is only a dereliction of duty, not the truth. There is one more convincing reason to prove that the two of them are not murderers, and I will tell you later. ”

Hearing the word "later", he was a little anxious at first, but then began to snicker.

"When the killer appeared, they should both be asleep. But if the murderer did it himself, he could have stolen the surveillance tape directly, and there was no need or time to just delete that video. ”

He nodded in admiration. "So you think there's more to the murderer than just one."

"In the same way, if Da Huo or Wu Bi are accomplices, they can steal or simply destroy the videotape, and they don't need to delete only some of the images to increase their suspicion." She paused and said, "Now the question is how that image was deleted, maybe we should listen to the professionals." She said as she twisted the pinhole camera bug on the button on her chest.
