Chapter 356: Mysterious Witness
"Good news?"
Rong Shaochen got up as soon as he could, found his pajamas and put them on his body - he didn't like to wear pajamas when he slept with Lin Xiaowan at night, and when he realized that he was sleeping with his clothes last night, he smiled bitterly with a bit of self-deprecation, and then went to open the door.
Yang Yuanzheng was standing at the door, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately raised the bag in his hand and said, "Boss, there is a clue!" β
"What clues?" Rong Shaochen's eyes stared straight at the bagβthere was a very chic little trick in the bag, but he couldn't see what it was for a while.
"Someone found this lighter at the scene of the crime!" Yang Yuan's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Oh?" Rong Shaochen immediately reached out to grab the bag.
"Boss," Yang Yuan hurriedly shook the bag open, and explained in a hurry, "This is physical evidence, there must be fingerprints on it, and it has not been sent to the city bureau for testing." β
Rong Shaochen understood what he meant, but he was not angry, but asked rhetorically, "Who found out?" β
"I didn't know, I received a courier from an eyewitness early in the morning." Yang Yuan carefully put the bag on the ground, and then quickly took out a small express box from his pocket and showed it to him, "Well, the lighter packed in the bag is in this." A piece of paper was also attached to it. β
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the express box and handed it to Rong Shaochen.
Rong Shaochen opened the paper and looked at it carefully.
This is an ordinary A4 printer paper, with a few lines printed on it, to the effect that the night before yesterday in Nanting walked, accidentally witnessed the whole process of the homicide, because of fear of retaliation, did not dare to stand up to identify the murderer, and could not bear to see innocent people wronged, so the lighter dropped by the murderer picked up at the scene of the crime was sent to them, hoping that they could follow this clue to find the murderer and return the innocence of the innocent.
Rong Shaochen carefully read the contents of the A4 paper several times, turned the paper over and over again, and said, "Can't you find out the identity of the witness?" β
If the witness can come forward and describe the portrait of the murderer, then it will be easy to find the murderer.
"The other party is very careful and has not left any clues." Yang Yuan saw that Rong Shaochen was looking at the delivery address on the express delivery note, and he looked helpless, "The address was printed in advance and then glued on." β
Rong Shaochen questioned: "Ordinary people send express delivery with handwritten addresses, isn't it strange to paste the address like this?" The employees of the courier company must be a little impressed, right? β
"No," Yang Yuan shook his head, "I asked people to inquire carefully, and I said that I was not impressed at all." β
"How is this possible?"
"I don't think it's possible, I suspect that the other party didn't send the courier from the employee."
Rong Shaochen raised his eyebrows: "The witness may be an internal employee of the express company?" β
"I started to think this way, but I think it's unlikely, if he is really an internal employee of the courier company, don't you think it's easy to expose his identity?" Yang Yuan said carefully, seeing that Rong Shaochen didn't make a sound, but looked at himself, knowing that he agreed with his statement, and was about to continue to speak, the mobile phone rang, he took out his mobile phone in a little panic, and immediately said to Rong Shaochen after seeing the number, "Boss, I'll answer the phone." β
After speaking, without waiting for Rong Shaochen to answer, he answered the phone, and after listening to a few words, he quickly hung up the phone again, and said to Rong Shaochen, "Boss, you can be sure that the other party is the courier company that sneaked in at night, and then 'send' a courier according to the normal procedure of sending express delivery - the camera in the warehouse of that courier company was turned in the direction - the courier they receive before four o'clock in the afternoon will be sent away on the same day, and the one after four o'clock will be sent the next day, so every night there will be a part of the express delivery to be sent in the warehouse, and the other party will do this, It is simply impossible for an employee of the courier company to find out. β
Rong Shaochen frowned and asked, "No clues were found in the warehouse?" β
Yang Yuan shook his head: "They go to work at seven o'clock in the morning, and people come and go, even if there are clues, they have already been destroyed." And I think this person is not a pure eyewitness at all, he may be here to help us or to distract us. β
To be honest, when he first received the express, he was very excited, as if his eyes were full of hope, so he hurried to find Rong Shaochen, but after analyzing so much, he realized that there was still a long way to go from the truth, so the excitement had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a heavy heart, and a little disappointed.
Rong Shaochen pondered for a moment, took the bag in his hand, stared at the lighter inside, and said slowly: "Our current situation is very passive, and there is no need for the other party to distract us at all." Follow the clues of the lighter and look it up. β
Yang Yuan understood what he meant, and immediately nodded and said, "I'll go find Fan Yi." β
"You don't need to look for Fan Yi."
Yang Yuan was surprised: "Don't look for him?" β
But he quickly reacted.
Witnesses take such great pains to send lighters, they just don't want to appear in front of everyone, witnesses don't appear, just take lighters to the criminal investigation team, counting on them to help find out the clues, it's better to check it yourself, sometimes there are some things, going through the regular procedure is far less smooth than going out of the way, this truth Yang Yuan is very clear.
"That's why I'm going to the lighter." Yang Yuan stretched out his hand to get the bag, but when he saw Rong Shaochen frowning and staring at the lighter, he condensed his hand in the air again, and also stared at the lighter, his eyes suddenly lit up, "This lighter looks a little familiar!" β
Rong Shaochen nodded: "But I don't remember where I've seen it." β
Yang Yuan took the bag, turned the bag over and over again, looked at it carefully, then frowned and thought about it again, and finally felt a little discouraged: "I can't remember." β
After thinking about it, he analyzed, "The shape of this lighter is quite chic, but the texture is not high, it should be a souvenir of an ordinary hotel or guesthouse." - If it's really a souvenir from an ordinary hotel or guesthouse, how can you look familiar? β
"Maybe I'm looking at which of you has used it?" Rong Shaochen explained, and expressed another layer of questions, "The things that merchants use to make souvenirs generally play a role in publicity and promotion, but there are no words on it, maybe it's just something from a small entertainment venue?" β
The latter sentence made Yang Yuan immediately have an idea: "I will take a picture and send it to the group for the brothers to recognize and see." β
The group he was talking about was his own group of brothers.
He took out his mobile phone, took out his phone, took a few photos, and then shared them in the group.
When Yang Yuan sent a voice to the group, Rong Shaochen clenched his fists to relax his muscles and bones, and went back to the room to wash. After washing, he habitually went to the sofa to get clothes - after reconciling, Lin Xiaowan would help him prepare the clothes he would wear the next day every night, and when he saw that the sofa was empty, his heart was also empty.
"Boss, I just received a call from the brother in the hospital, saying that Ah Chang is awake," Xiao Fei hurriedly ran in, crying and said with a sad face, "Ah Chang said that not long after he entered the bamboo forest, he was knocked unconscious, and he did not provide any useful clues. β
Ah Chang and Ah Fa were the two brothers arranged by Xiao Fei in the bamboo forest, and at that time, Xiao Fei was afraid that there would be too many people, so Xiao Fei only arranged for the two of them to hide in the bamboo forest. Ah Fa was guarding the side of the entrance of the South Pavilion, and Ah Chang was near the small pavilion. At that time, Ah Fa saw Lin Xiaowan walking in the direction of the small pavilion, thinking that Ah Chang was over there, and he was afraid that he would be discovered if he made a noise, so he didn't follow. He didn't know what was going on when he found out that a police officer had appeared, but he said that he hadn't heard anything unusual from beginning to end, and he didn't know that there was such a big situation outside. As for Ah Chang, when Xiao Fei's men found him, he had already fallen in the bamboo forest, and he didn't know what to do, and he didn't wake up until just now.
"Waste." After waiting all night, waiting for such a sentence, how could Rong Shaochen's temper be good?
The apprehensive Xiao Fei stood to the side with his head down.
From last night's accident to now, God knows how much he hates his carelessness and contempt for his enemies, and he feels that he is hopelessly stupid, and he has the heart to press himself into the toilet and drown.
But the incident has happened, and it is useless to regret it, so he can only find a way to make up for it, so he has been staring all night, his clothes are not undressed, and the water and rice have not entered, and he is anxious and frightened to call his brothers to look around for clues, but there has been no progress, which makes him cry helplessly.
Rong Shaochen ignored him, looked for his clothes to change, and then went downstairs, Xiao Fei followed behind with his head drooping.
Yang Yuan quietly grabbed him and said in a low voice, "You haven't closed your eyes all night, right?" Go and rest for a while. β
Xiao Fei's head immediately shook like a rattle: "No! Madame's business hasn't ...... yet."
"I'll do the rest."
"Your injuries are not healed yet, I heard from Angkor that you ...... last night"
"I'll pay attention. By the way, I went to Wanli to ask for medicine to rub it, and my mouth was full of blisters. β
"A little blister is nothing." Xiao Fei reached out to pinch the blister disappreciatively.
"Are you crazy?! Blisters can't be pinched! Prone to infection! Yang Yuan immediately pressed his hand.
"Infection is infection, as long as my wife can come back safely, let alone rotten mouth, even if the whole body ulcers and dies, I can rest assured."
"I know you're anxious, but look at you like this," Yang Yuanwan patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him earnestly, "The whole person is completely out of state, confused, can I rest assured that I will arrange you to do things?" Go ahead, rest and come back to help Madame find clues. β
"Not only did I fail to protect my wife, but I couldn't even help at this time, I was really useless! It's useless! Xiao Fei slapped himself angrily.
"Dumbo!" Yang Yuan grabbed his hand, "Madame, you are derelict in your duties, but you can't be blamed completely, only the people behind the scenes are too cunning." β
"It's me who is stupid! If it were you and Angkor, this would never happen! β
"There is no point in pursuing responsibility, the most important thing now is to find out the real culprit and return the lady's innocence." Yang Yuan glanced at the extremely quiet WeChat group, put away his mobile phone with some disappointment, carefully put the lighter in the bag into his pocket, and then said to Xiao Fei, "Okay, you go to rest, come to me again after resting, I don't have time to ink with you." β
Xiao Fei looked at his actions in surprise, and immediately asked, "Brother Yang, do you like this lighter?" β
"Huh?" Yang Yuan didn't react.
"If you really like it, I'll give you a few more when I get back, I have a lot of them."
"You have a lot of them?!" Yang Yuan was shocked, and when he saw Xiao Fei nodding, he immediately grabbed Xiao Fei by the collar excitedly and said urgently, "Tell me where you came from!" β
