Chapter 31. A surveillance video

After speaking, Hu Zongren extinguished the cigarette butt, and then grabbed his newly bought phone and called the other party. Because Hu Zongren has promised the other party to take this order, so when the other party learned that there was a nosy helper like me to help, he was very enthusiastic, and the vice president said that few people knew about this matter yet, as far as he and several other company executives were concerned, let us hurry over, and he would tell us carefully in person. Before Hu Zongren hung up the phone, he said, let's two of us, although it is impossible to double the honorarium of Haolu, but at least we have to give more, otherwise we will not be able to divide it!

I like him about this, money, who doesn't love it.

It was almost 10 a.m., so I drove off with Hu Zongren. Haier Road is not far from where I live, just because the vicinity of Wulidian is a relatively important transportation hub along the Jialing River in Jiangbei District, and several large and small overpasses have been built. Because of this, I had to take some detours from my place to Haier Road. I walked to Haier Road from the direction of the Wulidian side, and in order to avoid some strange things, I drove very carefully even though it was broad daylight.

This should be the first time Hu Zongren has officially set foot on this road, because he has been saying in my ear that this road is so well built, straight and long, and there are so many traffic control equipment, it is not like a road with so many car accidents! From the entrance of the road, there is a long downhill slope that is almost a kilometer long, Hu Zongren and I are both drivers, and this kind of road section would have been slipped down in neutral if it were another place, because it would save a lot of gas. Although this is a very bad driving habit, who told the oil price to rise after a few words of reform? This burning oil is like drinking my blood, thrift is a Chinese virtue, and from this point of view, I am simply a miser!

The speed limit has been maintained along this road. After waiting for a few traffic lights, I arrived at the property in about ten minutes. This is an almost brand new real estate, and the area is not very large, after all, it costs a lot of money to get land in these places. After parking the car at the entrance of the sales department of the community, I began to look at the surroundings. Because I have walked this road many times before, but I have never stopped for errands like now, there is a ramp for the Inner Ring Road nearby, and there is an elementary school built on the slope of the hill, and the location of this property is roughly across the road between the two.

The road at the entrance of the community, according to the direction of the car, is an uphill section, with zebra crossings and traffic lights. The separation zone in the middle of the road is made of cement, which looks more like there was no zebra crossing, especially when this section was demolished and built to meet the needs of the masses. I looked up at the traffic light on the top, the green light was long and the red light was short, and the yellow light flashed for 3 seconds when the yellow light alternated, which means that this range is not a high-pressure congested road section on weekdays. There is a spherical monitor on one side of the traffic light, and I know that this kind of equipment, because it rotates 360 degrees, usually when the red light is on, it will capture the front, and if there is a car running a red light, you can take a picture of the license plate at the rear of the car. I calculated according to the height of the monitor, it can capture pictures of the road in both directions, but if you want to rotate, it will inevitably form an angle between the camera and the bottom of the arc, and with this angle as the center point, the area where the cone spreads to the ground is the blind spot of this machine.

So I thought to myself, since the developer's video can be retrieved by itself, which means that the video is from their internal sources, then the camera of this road administration should not be at the time of the crime, and the situation captured is different from that of the community, is it really because it is not in the later stage? So I asked Hu Zongren, do you know where the person was killed at that time? Is it on the side where we are standing or across the street? Hu Zongren shook his head and said that he didn't know what to do. I asked him disdainfully, what do you know in your hurried life? He squinted his eyes and smiled wickedly, saying that he knew that the Tao would reproduce offspring and spread bacteria.

I ignored him, but walked into the door of the sales department with him, and when the two slender girls in professional skirts at the door saluted politely and said welcome, one of the girls asked us, are you buying a house? Since the vice president contacted by Hu Zongren has not yet come to the hall, it is impossible for us to tell this girl that we are here to investigate the ghost and see how beautiful she looks, so Hu Zongren smiled and said to others, let's take a look first.

Hu Zongren is more stupid, at first glance, he is a person who has never bought a house. Because of his words, he directly opened the girl's chatterbox, and she began to praise their real estate endlessly, which is also convenient and convenient, and what kind of famous schools can you get when you go to school in the future, I poked Hu Zongren's elbow with my finger, which means that you are about to call the vice president and say that we have arrived, what are you talking nonsense with your little sister here. Hu Zongren just took out the phone, but my action probably made this girl misunderstand, she looked at me with a very ambiguous look, and then said, how many houses do you two want to buy?

I was about to answer her when we didn't buy it, I suddenly realized that her sentence seemed a little wrong, and I wanted to say a few words, but I was afraid that the more I said it, the darker it would be. So I coughed and said we were here to talk to your boss about something. Just as I was saying this, a fat man in a T-shirt came from inside while hanging up the phone and waving to Hu Zongren, then walked up to us, shook hands with us with a smile on his face, and then said to the girl who was selling the house just now, go and pour two glasses of water for the guest.

In the process of waiting for the water, the vice president looked very familiar with Hu Zongren, pretending to be almost, and when the girl put the water into my hand, I smiled and said to the girl, sister, I am colleagues with this guy, I am not here to buy a house today, sorry to make you think too much. The girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then shrank aside.

The vice president's surname is Jiang, he led us to the office area inside, closed the office door after entering the house, and then handed us cigarettes, and Hu Zongren also introduced me by the way. Vice President Jiang said to us, the current situation must have told each other, both said that the dead man with mildew, our community at the door of the dead person will be counted, the most annoying thing is that the black thing is towards our community, I think we have recently the house can not be sold, may have some impact, this is the two brothers to see if we can get this thing, so that we are not so unlucky.

As a businessman, I don't think he's right to do that, after all, the dead are not related to him. So I'm embarrassed to say anything. Hu Zongren replied to him, we have a general understanding of the situation, you still need to show us the video you handled at that time. Vice President Jiang said no problem, I'll show you right away. With that, he got up and went to his desk, grabbed his laptop and walked over to us. Hu Zongren and I have been sitting on the sofa in his office, because the distance between the sofa and the coffee table is relatively narrow, so Hu Zongren and I can only sit on our legs, looking very much like two warblers preparing to pick up customers. So when Vice President Jiang put the computer in front of us, I took the opportunity to move the coffee table outward.

The player is Q-prefixed, and I'm starting to like the taste of this vice president Jiang. The video was about 1 and a half minutes long, and it was shot at 9:22 p.m. that day, and I could tell from the whiteness of the video that he had at least brightened it up, and then maybe adjusted something else. In the first few tens of seconds, everything was normal, and Vice President Jiang kept reminding Hu Zongren and me to pay attention to the lower half of the picture, that is, the road on this side of the community. It can be seen that the car accident happened at this location, as I guessed, it happened to belong to the blind spot of the camera on the traffic light, which is not difficult to explain as what we currently have only this video. When it was about 30 seconds later, the red light on the screen clearly showed pedestrians, and the people who were about to cross the street were standing and waiting, and a man wearing a white vest who looked to be about 50 to 60 years old appeared in the lower left corner of the picture with a fan in his hand. Because the red light of the pedestrian is the green light of the car dealership, in about 40 seconds or so, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared from the lower left corner, which was not very clear, black, but could clearly distinguish that it was a person's shadow, first clinging to the man in the vest, waiting for a few seconds, and then the man in the vest staggered out of the steps of the sidewalk as if he was not standing firmly, and at this moment, a large vermilion truck collided head-on.

I think it's probably because this lane is a gentle slope up, and the speed limit is generally controlled where there are traffic lights, and the traffic regulations also stipulate that large trucks can only take the rightmost lane, these three factors combined, resulting in the fact that the speed of this truck was not very fast at that time. It's just that the man in the vest fell on the road so suddenly that the driver didn't have time to brake. It is precisely because the speed of the car is not fast that the man in the vest was not knocked off as Hu Zongren described to me, but after being hit, he was directly involved under the car. And I also found that when the vest man fell, the night also fell, if you don't pay attention, and if you don't have preconceived ideas like me and Hu Zongren, you may even think that this black shadow saw the fall of the vest man, so he wanted to reach out to help. Similarly, the black shadow also swept under the car along with the man in the vest. When the body bounced twice, it was pressed over the person, and then the driver stepped on the brakes, and the distance of the car at this time had crossed the zebra crossing for about 10 meters.

In the following time, the people on the side of the road were surprised when they saw it, some covered their mouths, some stood away in horror, the car in the opposite lane also slowed down, and some drivers rolled down their windows to observe the situation. The truck driver got out of the car, first with his head in his hands, looking annoyed, then squatted down, then knelt down and looked at the bottom of the car, looked at it for a while and then walked to the side of the car, turned his back to us, and lay down as if he was shouting for the people under the car, and then stood up and started to make a phone call. The driver waved to the people standing on the side of the road on the side of the community watching the excitement, and many people took the initiative to surround the scene to protect the scene and help save people. Some drivers in the opposite lane also took the initiative to stop their cars to help. When the time reached 1 minute and 20 seconds, a dark shadow could be seen slowly crawling out from the gap in the crowd, and then walked directly through the crowd and walked in the direction of the community.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Hu Zongren's sudden estrus scream startled me, and when I was about to scold him, he suddenly said to Vice President Jiang, you rewind the video a little bit, a few seconds! Vice President Jiang didn't understand what he meant, but he still reverted back, and then Hu Zongren still pressed the space bar quickly to keep pausing, didn't he know that this software has the function of extremely slow frame playback! I despise him. Between 1 minute and 33 seconds and 1 minute 34 seconds, he pressed the space bar and never moved again.

He stared at the screen, then reached out and rubbed his nose, pointed to the screen and said, "Look here." I looked where he was pointing. He said, look, this white and chubby guy standing in this pile of people is the one who was just hit and killed by a car?
