Chapter IV: Extraordinarily Serious Cases
Coming out of the room, Xu Xiuwen took a shower, then sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV.
There was no program on TV that he wanted to watch, so he subconsciously changed the channel.
Until I switched to the provincial news column of Shaanxi Province.
Looking at the news column in Shaanxi Province, a long-forgotten thing suddenly jumped into Xu Xiuwen's heart.
"Shocking domestic homicide!"
In my previous life, as soon as this case was reported, it immediately appeared in major newspapers.
The offender is a human trafficker who is in hiding because he is wanted by the police.
On the day of the crime, the criminal happened to be near Xi'an, and he accidentally hid in the women's toilet, and then caused a major casualty of nine deaths and one injury.
From the details disclosed by the police later, it was learned that that afternoon, the criminal thought that a female student recognized him and was worried that the other party would call the police and impulsively kill him.
Xu Xiuwen was deeply impressed by this case, because the day the case was reported was the time when he went to Maochang Middle School to repeat his studies. Watching the noon news at noon, I just happened to see the report of this case.
Xu Xiuwen remembers that the report mentioned that the date of the case was July 3.
Today is July 2nd.
That is, tomorrow, the murder will happen!
And now there is less than a day left until the case happens!
Xu Xiuwen's first reaction was to call the police, but he immediately gave up the idea.
Because he is in Langya City, and he is under the age of eighteen, he called the police and said that the wanted criminal would kill people in the women's toilet in Xi'an, and there is no evidence yet, what policeman would believe him?
And if you can't catch the criminal at one time, if you let the other party run, you will be startled.
Xu Xiuwen still remembers one thing.
That is, the wanted warrant issued by the police clearly stated that as long as reliable clues can be provided, the police will provide a reward of 50,000 yuan.
Even if it is not for saving people, but for a reward of 50,000 yuan, Xu Xiuwen can't sit idly by.
Xu Xiuwen quickly made a decision, he was going to Xi'an City.
After too many years, he only remembered that the murder happened in the afternoon, and what time it was, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
Xu Xiuwen guessed that the murder may be less than 24 hours away.
The case occurred in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, 1,000 kilometers away from Langya, where Xu Xiuwen is located.
This is no longer the usual urgency.
Xu Xiuwen didn't dare to delay at all, he immediately ran to his mother's room, took 1,000 yuan from the cabinet where the money was hidden, and then left the house in a hurry.
Xu Xiuwen loaded a thousand yuan and went straight to the ticket office of the train station.
He was lucky, there happened to be a bus from Jinling, passing through Langya, to Xi'an.
The train from Jinling to Xi'an departed from Jinling South Railway Station at 7 p.m. on July 2 and arrived at Langya North Railway Station at exactly 20 o'clock.
The tickets were sold out, Xu Xiuwen bought a station ticket and got on the train before eight o'clock.
After getting on the train, Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
The trains in '05 were basically all slow, and the crowded, noisy, and unpleasant smell accompanied the whole journey.
At 11 a.m. on July 3, the train arrived at Xi'an Station.
Xu Xiuwen was exhausted at this time.
He hadn't taken an old-fashioned train for many years, let alone bought a station ticket, and it was not a good feeling to stand down this night.
Fortunately, this body is young and strong now, and if it were replaced by him more than ten years later, he would not be able to get up now.
After getting off the train, Xu Xiuwen stood at the exit of Xi'an Railway Station and had a different feeling.
Xi'an Railway Station has a very strong historical atmosphere, and the two big red characters at the top of the station building, "Xi'an" give people a sense of peace of mind.
Not far below the big red letters is a conspicuous white clock, one long and one short, with two hands, guiding countless people to come and go, helping them find their way home and find the distance they want to go.
Coming out of the train station square, it's bustling outside, with stalls and vendors selling a wide variety of snacks and delicacies, as well as selling some small items, which is dazzling and varied.
Xu Xiuwen is not here to travel, so he naturally does not have the time and mood to carefully experience the cultural scenery of Xi'an.
After leaving the train station, it was already 11:10.
Xu Xiuwen went straight to the newsstand outside the station, and soon found the newspaper with the wanted notice.
The newspaper published a picture of the trafficker, a middle-aged woman in her forties, who looked very ordinary, the kind of person who would never be found again once she blended into the crowd.
The only characteristic thing is that the woman has a black mole the size of a red bean on her neck.
Xu Xiuwen kept the woman's appearance firmly in his heart, and then did not dare to delay, and immediately took a taxi to Xi'an No. 1 Middle School.
On the way, the taxi driver heard from the accent that Xu Xiuwen was not a local, and he accosted enthusiastically, but Xu Xiuwen didn't know it at all.
When Xu Xiuwen arrived at the gate of Xi'an No. 1 Middle School, there were parents picking up their children outside the school gate.
It was already 11:30 a.m.
Xu Xiuwen knew that the wanted criminals were most likely among these parents at this moment. He didn't dare to move around, for fear that he would startle the snake, and the other party had a gun on him, in case he provoked the other party, the other party would shoot and kill people directly, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xu Xiuwen calmly walked to a place with a better view, and used his spare eyes to find the figure of the wanted criminal.
But there were too many parents, and it was too difficult to find a wanted criminal accurately among so many middle-aged women, so he quickly gave up this stupid method.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
Since the case happened in the women's toilet, he could go to the toilet in advance to guard the other party.
Naturally, there will not be only one toilet in Xi'an No. 1 Middle School, but since it is the students who are the victims, it is very likely that it is the toilet in the teaching building.
Xi'an No. 1 Middle School implements semi-closed management, and outsiders are not allowed to enter except for school at noon and evening.
But Xu Xiuwen thought that he could pretend to be a student, so he ran to the doorman and said that he was a student in Class 2 and overslept today.
Xu Xiuwen looked at the doorman nervously, worried that he would not let him go, but although the doorman uncle was surprised that he was only here now, he did not suspect it.
After all, in the mind of the janitor's uncle, only students want to run outside the school, how can any student want to drill into the school.
Xu Xiuwen secretly said that he was lucky, and after entering the school, he immediately ran in the direction of the teaching building.
Xi'an No. 1 Middle School has a total of three teaching buildings, and Xu Xiuwen went straight to the first teaching building closest to the school gate.
The toilet is also easy to find and is located in the southeast corner of the first floor of the teaching building.
When Xu Xiuwen came to the women's toilet, there was no one here.
Xu Xiuwen didn't know if there were students in the toilet, so he chose to wait for an extra 5 minutes.
Seeing that no students came out for 5 minutes, Xu Xiuwen sneaked into the women's toilet.
Xu Xiuwen stepped into the door of the women's toilet with his front foot, and the class bell rang under his back foot.
Xu Xiuwen was startled by the ringtone, the whole person trembled, and his feet subconsciously sped up a little.
After entering the women's toilet, before Xu Xiuwen could see the structure of the women's toilet clearly, it was a coincidence that the door of the last toilet cubicle opened, and a female student who was not wearing a school uniform walked out of the cubicle!
By the time Xu Xiuwen saw the girl's appearance clearly, he couldn't dodge.
However, he had forgotten to dodge, and the whole person stood in place like a wooden chicken!
Xu Xiuwen's pupils dilated violently, and he was extremely shocked in his heart!
It's not because I bumped into a female student when I entered the women's bathroom, but because I bumped into this person, and he happened to know him!
"Cheng Lu!" Xu Xiuwen was surprised and blurted out the girl's name.
He never imagined that he would see Cheng Lu in the women's toilet of Xi'an No. 1 Middle School!
