Chapter 14 Tattoos

——————————————————————————————————

There is not a single security guard surnamed He in the funeral home!?

When I heard Zhang Hefang say this, my eyes widened, and I couldn't believe what he had just said. Zhang Hefang obviously saw my thoughts, and he still called all the staff of the funeral home and asked them to help him testify. He called two young security guards from the funeral home and said to Officer Liu: "Officer Liu, these two people are the only two security guards in our company, one is surnamed Zhang and the other is surnamed Sun, and I have never heard of any of them surnamed He." ”

I was so stunned by what I saw before me that I couldn't say a word for a while.

Officer Liu looked back at me, but he didn't show too much emotion, but asked lightly, "Mr. Fan, what's going on?" ”

As soon as Officer Liu asked this sentence, I stayed there at the time, looked at Officer Liu, then at Zhang Hefang, and stumbled and said, "This, I don't know what to do." ”

Officer Liu snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Fan, do you know that it is a crime to lie to the police?" ”

"I, I ......"

Before I could defend myself, Zhang Hefang actually came over to play a round at this time, and said: "Officer Liu, you are angry, after all, everyone makes mistakes, I think, Mr. Fan may just be dazzled for a while." ”

"Dazzling?" Officer Liu said: "I really have nothing to say about this reason. ”

After Officer Liu finished speaking, his eyes stared at me so hard that my heart was beating a drum.

Zhang Hefang said again at this time: "Officer Liu, you can also understand him, after all, his mother's body was stolen, and he was inevitably depressed. Zhang Hefang paused, took out a cigarette and lit one, and then continued: "What's more, a place like a funeral home is easy to make people fearful, no wonder, I won't pursue this matter, let's hurry up and find the thief who stole the corpse." ”

Officer Liu turned his face away and said in a very majestic voice: "It's not up to you to decide whether to investigate or not." Then, Officer Liu turned his face to me again and said, "Anyway, Mr. Fan, you should go back to the bureau with me, no matter what, you still have to make a record." ”

I looked at Zhang Hefang, and saw that he was still looking at me apologetically, I really don't know what this guy was thinking in his heart, just now, he was even pleading for me, if he bit me at that time, and as Officer Liu said before, sue me for defamation, it would be easy, but it seems that he is trying his best to help me, which makes me feel more frightened and uneasy than he wants to hurt me.

However, Zhang Hefang's human and physical evidence is there, and no matter how you look at it, it seems that the person who lied is me.

Finally, Officer Liu asked the criminal police to collect some samples from the toilet tank and take them to the bureau for testing. And I had no choice but to follow Officer Liu back to the police station.

When I returned to the police station again, my psychology had changed a lot, and although I still insisted that what I saw must be true, I was starting to feel weak at the moment.

I waited for a long time at the police station, and it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon that I was brought into the interrogation room by a detective.

Sitting in the interrogation room, this is the first time I've ever heard a voice. However, I was not a suspect after all, so I was not handcuffed, I just sat in a very ordinary chair, opposite a long desk, which could seat three people, but at this time there was no one.

After about two cigarettes, Officer Liu appeared alone in the interrogation room, and to my surprise, Officer Liu did not hold a pen or a notebook, but held a few photographs, which did not look like he had come to take notes for me.

Sure enough, Officer Liu walked around the front of the long desk in a crisp police uniform, sat down on the table, and then said to me in a completely different tone from when he was at the funeral home: "Don't be nervous, relax." ”

I nodded dumbly, not knowing how to answer.

Officer Liu didn't speak immediately, but looked down at the photo in his hand twice, and as he flipped through it, he said to me abruptly, "What do you think?" ”

"Huh?" I subconsciously replied with a questioning answer, asking, "What...... What do I think? ”

"That Zhang Hefang."

I glanced up at Officer Liu, who was looking at me intently.

I thought about it, and finally said, "Officer Liu, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I don't see what you mean? ”

Officer Liu sighed, then stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, paced back and forth in front of me, lowered his head, and said, "I started working as a police officer at the age of twenty-two, and this year is exactly twenty years. After that, he paused, and then continued: "In the past twenty years, I have experienced many cases, and many of these cases seem very bizarre. I don't dare to say how smart I am Liu Hanwen, I only relied on two things to solve cases when I was young - courage and courage. ”

I listened in a daze, and said in my heart what is this Officer Liu doing? Could it be that he was ready to show off to me the glorious history of his entire police career?

Officer Liu ignored my surprise and continued: "However, in my future criminal investigation career, in addition to judging based on the existing clues and evidence, due to experience, I gradually have a very sensitive intuition about some bizarre cases. ”

After listening to Officer Liu's words, I seemed to gradually understand what he meant, so I asked, "Officer Liu, what do you mean...... Do you believe my words? ”

Officer Liu nodded and said, "Yes, although the other party's evidence and material evidence are there, but, judging by my years of experience, I believe what you say." ”

When Officer Liu said this, I almost jumped up from my chair in excitement, and sure enough, I was not mistaken, the reason why he is in his current position is still different.

However, I had some doubts in my heart, so I asked: "Why do you believe my words, the staff of the funeral home say that there is no security guard named Xiao He." ”

"I know that," Officer Liu said to me, sitting back at his desk, "when I was at the funeral home in the afternoon, almost everything you said would be taken as a lie. And the intuition I am talking about does not rely entirely on the so-called sixth sense to make judgments, I still have my own basis. ”

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "On what basis?" ”

Officer Liu held up three fingers and said to me, "There are three according to the base." The first point is based on your narrative. Just now, that Zhang Hefang said that you were dazzled for a while, and I just responded casually, because your narration to me is like playing a movie, and every scene is presented in front of me, including those candles and other things. If it were a lie, it would not be so detailed. Of course, such a judgment is difficult for ordinary people, but for an old criminal police officer like me, I intuitively believe what you say. However, I'm afraid I'm the only one who believes it. ”

"And what about the second point?" I asked.

"The second point lies in that Zhang Hefang, in his reaction." Officer Liu said, "If a normal person hears that a dead body has appeared in the toilet of his company, he will be extremely surprised, but I can see that Zhang Hefang's surprise is faked." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately chuckled in my heart, and said that this old criminal policeman is just not ordinary. Immediately afterwards, Officer Liu continued: "That Zhang Hefang's reaction was as if he had expected what would happen, and then made preparations in advance, just waiting to see your jokes. ”

"yes." I nodded, "I feel that too." And what about the third basis? ”

Officer Liu walked over to me with the photo in his hand and said, "The third and most important basis is related to a case 20 years ago. ”

"Twenty years ago?" I was a little surprised.

Officer Liu nodded, as if with some regret, and said: "Twenty years ago, it was the first case I took over, and it was also the only unsolved case that I had not solved since my police career. ”

I gradually became interested in Officer Liu's words, and instinctively asked, "Could it be that the case from 20 years ago is also related to that Zhang Hefang?" ”

Officer Liu shook his head and said, "It's not just about Zhang Hefang, it's about you." ”

After listening to the second half of Officer Liu's words, my jaw almost dropped, and I said that twenty years ago, I was a little kid in preschool, so how could the case be related to me?

Immediately, Officer Liu explained: "To be precise, it is related to your father, your father is Fan Jiyun, right?" ”

My father again?

I nodded sneeringly, and asked, "So, there was an exact same case twenty years ago?" ”

"That's not it, it's just that I have been haunted by the case twenty years ago, and it just so happened that today I met this Zhang Hefang and Fan Jiyun's descendants again, and I naturally came back to association."

"So," I said, standing up, "what was the case twenty years ago?" ”

"Don't worry, you sit down first," Officer Liu walked up to me, handed me the stack of photos in his hand, and said, "You can take a look at these photos first." ”

I took the photo, and when I looked at it, I saw that the photo was Zhang Hefang's appearance when he was young, he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, walking on the street, judging from the way the photo was taken, it should have been taken secretly.

I flipped through one, and this one was a close-up photo of Zhang Hefang, which seemed to be some kind of ID photo, but I soon discovered the problem - in the photo, Zhang Hefang had half a tattoo under his neck, and the totem style was the same as the tattoo on Ah Song's face that I saw in the Yunnan underground palace.

What does this mean? What was Officer Liu's purpose in showing me these photos?
