Chapter 274: Raising Little Ghosts?
"This is also the reason why I am looking for Shen Cheng, the people in the house have not gone too far now, it does not mean that he will not go far. Relying on you and me alone, there is no way to intercept him within the confines of Yu City. I replied.
Jiang Jun: "Tomorrow, Shen Cheng should go back to the police station." ”
Me: "I hope." ”
Slowly, the rain became lighter, Jiang Jun and I sat in front of the church and talked for a long time, and when we left, Jiang Jun and I once again looked at the cross at the top of the church. At night, the person who always looked at the cross was inexplicably frightened.
Although the rain became lighter, Jiang Jun and I walked in the rainy night, and after a while, our hair was all wet. This area is very remote, and it is already early in the morning, and Jiang Jun and I have no way to get a taxi. We walked down the street in the direction of the hotel, and along the way, we passed two crime scenes.
First of all, Chen Zhaodi's house, by the moonlight, the ruins naturally simulated the scene of the explosion in their minds. The fire, the powerful impact, looking at the crumbling two-story small brick house, the burned corpses of Chen Zhaodi and Luo Kang flashed through my brain.
Diagonally across from the small brick house is Pastor Lowe's home, which has been sealed and its doors and windows locked.
Soon, Jiang Jun and I passed by the haunted construction site again. At Jiang Jun's suggestion, we went around the construction site, and this time, the strange figure did not appear again. The killer returned to the construction site only to find out the truth of the police investigation, and now that he has left the church and is no longer worried about others seeing the bed in the small room, it is clear that he thinks the police have followed his guidance.
Without worrying, how could he possibly come back.
Leaving the construction site, we finally walked to a relatively busy section, took a taxi, and returned to the hotel. Through the crack in the door, Jiang Jun and I found that Shen Nuo's room was still lit, I thought about it and knocked on the door. I wanted to find Shen Cheng quickly through Shen Nuo, but after knocking for a while, there was no response from Shen Nuo's house.
Jiang Jun: "Maybe I'm asleep." ”
I nodded and stopped knocking. When I got back to my room, I washed up and fell asleep immediately.
At dawn the next day, Jiang Jun and I immediately left the hotel. Before leaving the hotel, I found that the light was still on in Shen Nuo's room, and I knocked on the door a few times, but there was still no response. Now I can understand that Shen Nuo is not in the room at all, and she has not come back all night.
Shen Nuo is the same as Shen Cheng, no one answered the phone, and I couldn't find her.
Hurried to the police station, not as I expected, Shen Cheng still did not come back. The appraisal report was still neatly placed on Shen Cheng's desk, and there was no sign of being turned over. It is conceivable that at that time, Shen Cheng asked the appraisal department to prepare two identical reports, and after he got his hands, he neatly placed the two reports on the table.
He didn't want to take advantage of me, so he was going to wait for me to go to the police station and see it together.
However, before I could get to the police station, he had already received an important notice from someone and left.
I asked a few criminal policemen, and they told me that Shen Cheng had not returned, but he had made a call to the police station. Shen Cheng took two days off, and a day has passed, and Shen Cheng said that he would rush back tonight. Moreover, Shen Cheng actually handed over a large number of police forces to me, and he asked the criminal police to bring me a message.
"What?" I asked right away.
Criminal police: "Deputy Captain Shen said that if you have any temporary decisions, let everyone listen to you." If you need to go to the police, you can take everyone to the police with the permission of the police captain. ”
I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect Shen Cheng to give me so much power, I think, Shen Cheng should have discovered that something was wrong. The criminal police told us that Shen Cheng was in a hurry when he called the police station, so everyone didn't have time to tell him about my speculation and the latest progress of the case.
If Shen Cheng had confirmed his previous speculation, he would not have handed over the police force to me, unless he himself discovered the loopholes in his reasoning and the problem that the clues were too smooth. Shen Cheng was able to find the problem without seeing the appraisal report, which was not easy. After a person's mindset is set, it is difficult to jump out of it, but Shen Cheng seems to have done it.
Without much thought, I immediately went to the office of the captain of the detachment, a man in his fifties, whom I met for the first time. Compared with Shen Cheng, the captain does not seem to have so much majesty, and the captain quickly agreed to my request, because Shen Cheng had already explained to him.
This reminds me of a rumor I heard at the police station before. Everyone said that between the captain and the deputy captain Shen Cheng, the administrative relationship is superior, but Shen Cheng is more reused by the superiors, in the affairs of the police station, the captain and the deputy captain are in charge of their own work, and Shen Cheng goes to report to the captain, which is just a formality, in fact, Shen Cheng can make his own decisions.
Judging by the captain's attitude, this rumor should be true. I didn't have time to think about the complicated administrative and interpersonal relationships within the police department, so after receiving the captain's order to deploy the police force, I immediately had a meeting with the head of the criminal police.
With the orders of the captain and Shen Cheng, everyone put away their arrogant attitude towards me.
At the meeting, I presented my reasoning and evidence to support my speculation, and I deployed a police force to hunt down the suspect. According to my surmisath, the suspect will not go very far and will travel at night. I asked the criminal police to collect the surveillance footage of the major and small roads in the southern district to investigate them one by one, especially paying attention to people who are dressed strangely or have strange appearances and other suspicious people.
On the other hand, I asked the person in charge of the criminal police to send someone to a remote section of the road without surveillance cameras to investigate and search to see if I could find the whereabouts of the suspicious target. At the same time, I have set up police guards at several key pedestrian intersections to reduce the likelihood of suspects leaving the southern district.
After the meeting, everyone did as I told them to complete their tasks. After handing over the sheets and rags torn from the cabin to the people in the forensic section, I took a few detectives and rushed to the church again. Today was the day of the church preaching and lecturing, and when we arrived, the hall on the first floor was full of congregants.
Hymns were sung, the doors of the church were closed, and before we reached the door of the church in the rain, we heard the jagged singing coming out of the doorway. As soon as the detective pushed open the door, the singing stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their heads and stared blankly at us.
The criminal police shouted loudly: "The police are handling the case, please cooperate." ”
Previously, our investigation was limited to the staff inside the church, and Pastor Lowe also had contact with these congregants and believers. There were about 100 congregants, a few staff members and a preacher preaching on the podium. When the police came, the church fell silent.
Everyone became very restrained, and under my arrangement, the criminal police were divided into several groups, and each group of criminal police officers pulled several believers to conduct questioning and investigation. I took two staff members of the appraisal department to the small room, and after the explanation, the appraisal staff stayed in the small room to extract evidence, and Jiang Jun and I returned to the hall on the first floor.
The detective was nervously questioning, and the quiet hall became bustling again.
As I passed by the congregation, I heard a lot of people talking about Pastor Lowe. Rumors that Pastor Lowe was the murderer had spread throughout the church, but everyone thought there was a grievance in it. In everyone's eyes, Pastor Lowe was a very kind person, and no one believed that he would kill someone.
Everyone's rhetoric was very consistent, and the criminal police did not ask for any valuable news for a long time. No one knows about the small room on the second floor. Seeing that the inquiry was at an impasse, Jiang Jun suddenly called me. Jiang Jun noticed a believer in the corner and said that his behavior was a little strange.
It was a woman, she was standing in the corner, her eyes did not dare to look at the criminal police, it seemed that she was deliberately avoiding the interrogation of the criminal police. When the detective asked about her, she was hesitant again.
Jiang Jun and I glanced at each other and called her aside, and under my repeated questioning, the woman told me that Pastor Luo was raising little ghosts......
