Chapter 12: Vanishing Evidence
Ni Lifen yelled and shouted, bringing the two people who were in a lot of sorrow back to reality again: "Auntie, don't worry. You've almost all been recovered, and you're now being examined by the Forensic Laboratory. I can't lose it, but they are now used as evidence in murder cases. I can't give it back to you yet. And there are things that are covered with dirt and blood. I'm afraid I will give it back to you now, and you won't want it. ”
"Forget it, those clothes, pants and whatever. If it is stained with blood, it will also be stained with bad luck. We don't want it, you can deal with it yourself, and you should be ruined to avoid disaster. It's just that my wallet, ornaments and everything are very expensive, and I have to return it to me when the case is solved. Hearing Jiang Chonglang say this, Ni Lifen was a little dissatisfied, but she was helpless.
"Yes, Mom, didn't you listen to Chong Lang, now our things are all evidence, and they will be returned to us in the future. Don't get in the way of them. But fortunately, we are really immortal in a catastrophe this time, as the saying goes: if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing, we should be happy. As for those things, let's just spend money to avoid disasters. Not to mention anything else, those clothes, shoes, ornaments and so on. Even if I give it back, I won't ask for it again. ”
Zhang Lanshan was also reassuring Ni Lifen, and Jiang Chonglang noticed that she called herself "Chong Lang" instead of the previous "policeman". It seems that in Zhang Lanshan's heart, the distance between the two seems to be closer.
Although Zhang Lanshan said on the surface that the clouds were light and light, she could still hear that she was still heartbroken: "Lan Shan, don't say that." If others don't say it, can I still not know? Not to mention anything else, just that car, we just bought it not long ago. I don't know if it can be repaired, and even if it is, it won't be able to return to the previous one. And those necklaces you bought, they're not cheap. By the way, there's that camera, which costs tens of thousands of dollars. How many photos have we taken and how many videos have we recorded in the past few days. You didn't say you had to learn to edit or something, it's all gone. ”
"Forget it. Mother. Those are all things outside the body, and if you don't have them, you won't have them. As long as you and me. We're all safe. That's for the best. Zhang Lanshan said with a sigh.
"No, you think so, I can't. I'm going to see all of those things, if they still work. You must give it to me when the time comes. Ni Lifen insisted.
There was no way, Jiang Chonglang could only send someone to put the things that appeared at the crime scene in front of Ni Lifen one by one, and let her see what was there and what was missing.
"Here's my clothes, here's my new shoes, and my phone, and my wallet." Ni Lifen looked at it and checked, it seemed that the pair of women who stole their things had not been driving their cars out for a long time, and before they could pack up their two mothers and daughters' things, they were brutally murdered.
"Hey, why don't we have a camera, what about our camera?" Ni Li Fenzai said after carefully examining it several times.
"Yes, Mom. I also appeared, and the camera was gone. I took a lot of photos in there, but if I didn't, I wouldn't have it, and it wasn't necessary anyway. Zhang Lanshan also said.
"No, we carefully investigated the scene of the crime, and these things appeared. There's no camera you guys are talking about. A small policeman on the side said.
"Camera", Jiang Chonglang couldn't help frowning: "What does that camera look like, and how big is it?" ”
"Probably... It's that big, it's just plain square. Zhang Lanshan said while gesturing. Under Zhang Lanshan's gesture, the camera was the size of several fists.
"There is no camera," suddenly Jiang Chonglang thought: Ye Lili said that there were many scars on the hands of the old woman's corpse, proving that she had robbed things with others. And the shape of that thing is also the size of a few fists, which is similar to what Zhang Lanshan is comparing now. Could it be that the murderer and the victim robbed each other of each other, and that was the camera.
This question caught Jiang Chonglang's attention. Other things inside the car, such as necklaces, cell phones, and even a whole bunch of 100 yuan in cash, were still there. Explain that the murderer's purpose of killing is not to rob money. But why did the murderer snatch the camera? Could it be that Zhang Lanshan inadvertently took some footage, which caused the murderer to chase and kill.
"Lan Shan, Aunt Ni. What are you doing with this camera? ”
"What do you say, what do you say the camera can do, it is used to take pictures and videos."
"What did you guys shoot?"
"Shoot anything. In the beginning, we used our mobile phones to shoot, but then we thought it was too much power, so we used the camera we bought. Along the way, we walked all the way, all the way to shoot. What streets, hotels, everywhere, people and scenes. ”
"Your phone is still here, is there anything you took in it, can you show me?"
"It's in that phone, you can take it and take a look." Zhang Lanshan replied, although he didn't know what Jiang Chonglang was going to do.
Turn on your phone and find the video player. Jiang Chonglang now has a lot of content stored in it, most of which are Zhang Lanshan's travelogues taken in Xizhou these days: the flow of people walking in a hurry on the street, the clear blue sky, and the lakeside after the snow are all very beautiful scenes. Looking at these pictures, Jiang Chonglang remembered: In the past, when Zhang Lanshan was with him, he also liked to hold his mobile phone and take some random pictures around him.
Of course, there are also some discordant elements in these images. For example, there are pictures of children urinating in places where no one sees, and there are pictures of lovers kissing without affection.
"Later, it was too much power for us to shoot with our mobile phones, so we went and bought a camera. Not to mention the results, the picture captured by the camera is clear. Even if it's a long distance, you can shoot it. ”
"Then think about it, when you are shooting casually on the street, is there anyone who stops you from shooting, especially on the sixth day of the new year."
Hearing Jiang Chonglang say this, Zhang Lanshan and Ni Lifen fell into deep thought. "I remembered, it was the sixth day of the new year. We went to a square to shoot the pigeons, and it turned out that a couple of men and women seemed not very happy to see us photographing them. He came up to us and asked us to delete the videos. ”
"And then?"
Then we told them. We mainly shoot and feed the pigeons. Didn't shoot them at all. After showing them back, the two of them glanced at it and said: Pay attention in the future, don't shoot around. ”
Hearing Zhang Lanshan say this, Ni Lifen also said thoughtfully: "Xiaoshan, I remembered. You mean those two people, I seem to have an impression too. ”
