Chapter 33: The Fifth Man in the Photo
Let Xiao Luo and the other two team members take Xie Shouyi to the hospital, while I stayed at Xie Shouyi's house.
What did that phone call just come about? Since they have prepared such a method to kill Xie Shouyi, why did they call me again to inform me?
And the voice on the other side also made me care very much, it sounded very similar to Xie Dacheng, but it was a little different from Xie Dacheng's voice.
Could it be him!? The fifth person in that picture!?
Leaving the rest of the people on site to collect evidence, I immediately went back and found the photo in my cabinet.
It stands to reason that this should be considered physical evidence and should be kept in a sealed bag, but I always felt that there was something wrong with it, so I kept it for myself.
With it with me, I went to photo studios in the city and asked them if they could recreate the original appearance of the photo.
The answers I got were almost identical, because the photos were a bit old, and the exposure had been seriously distorted, and there was no possibility of restoration at all.
Looking at the old man in the last small photo studio, he is also a well-known good player in the industry, and even he said so, it seems that there is no hope.
I was looking for where the picture was taken, but I was dismissed.
This photo has existed for at least fifteen years, and Xie Dacheng They only came to this city seven or eight years ago, and it was in vain to ask.
I was about to leave with the photo, but the old man behind me stopped me.
"Boy, you're looking for the blurry guy in the photo, right?"
His words made my whole body shake, and I turned around and held his hand tightly,
"Do you know this person? Who is he and where is he now? ”
The old man was a little stunned by my question, pursed his lips with few teeth, and said slowly,
"I don't know each other, but I've seen the other four people in this photo, and the five of them came to me a few years ago to take a photo, just like the photo you have in your hand."
The old man's casual words sounded a thunderbolt in my head!
"You said they took pictures of you, so do you still have any negatives here?"
The old man didn't care about my intersection and excitement at all, just turned around slowly and said,
"I don't know, I'll help you find it."
As he spoke, he entered the back cabin, this news is simply too important for me, and the fifth person who can't be seen clearly in the photo may be the person who called me!
Just as I was in the middle of the excitement, an old man's words came from inside the room,
"Young man, you come in and help me, there are too many for me to handle......"
Without further ado, I immediately followed into the old man's hut, but when I entered, I was dumbfounded, and there were boxes full of negatives piled up in front of me, that is, I wanted to find Xie Shouyi's photos of them from this pile......
No matter how many there are, even if there are so many boxes, as long as I can find clues, I am willing to look for them.
He moved the box outside, took out a pile and spread it out on the table, and the table was all piled up, but only a small part of the box was missing.
The oath I made just now seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and I borrowed the phone from the old man's store, and I called the police office, asking all the people who were free to come and look for it with me.
The team members arrived quickly, and to my surprise, Huang Na actually came, and seeing that I was a little confused, she just shrugged her shoulders and said that there was nothing to do, so she came with her.
I won't say more, but the team members are excited when they hear me say that they can lock up the murderer as long as they find the photo, and they are all full of energy.
Even if it was a group of people, it took nearly half a day to find it, and the negatives could not see the light, so it was very troublesome to find.
Finally, in the afternoon, Huang Na held a negative and shouted, "I found it!" ”
I quickly took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was very similar to my photo, and it was not much different from the old man's description.
I asked the old man if he could wash out the picture, but the old man didn't speak, but went into his hut and went to work.
The group waited anxiously in the old man's photo studio, during which several customers who wanted to come in to take pictures saw a group of us in uniform sitting inside, poked their heads in and shrank away.
I was a little embarrassed, but I thought it was important to find clues now, so I didn't say anything.
The waiting time is always long, especially in the face of such a critical clue, I feel more and more that time flies so slowly.
It felt like a year had passed for me, and the old man finally showed up with a picture.
I can't wait to take a look at the result, and sure enough, it is indeed Xie Dacheng and Xie Shouyi and their wife.
As for the fifth person, he is seven or eight points similar to Xie Dacheng, his body shape is about the same, and his appearance looks very similar.
I took the photo and stared at it carefully for a long time, Huang Na was thanking the old man and compensating him for some money that had delayed his business in the afternoon, and I came back to my senses.
I also stepped forward to thank the old man, saying that he had helped us a lot, and if I could solve the case successfully, I would definitely visit again to thank him.
The old man waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need it, even if Huang Na gave him more money, he insisted on not wanting it, as long as he helped us wash the photos.
When I got out of the photo studio, my hands were a little trembling when I took the photo, and Huang Na saw me like this, gave me a blank look, and snatched the photo.
I was afraid that she would snatch the photo, so I gave it to him without resistance, and I didn't care about her eyes, and ordered the team members to go back and enlarge and print out this photo immediately, and go all out to find this fifth person!
I went to the hospital to see the injured team member before, he was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling boredly, when he saw me coming in, he was a little excited and wanted to sit up, I quickly stopped him.
He said that he was no longer in a problem and could return to work in the police force, and was about to get up from the bed as he spoke, but then fell down with a "his......s".
I stopped him and told him to stay in the hospital in peace, I already knew who the killer was, and now I just had to find him.
He was a little excited, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed, and after reassuring him a few words, I came to Xie Shouyi's hospital room again.
At this time, Xie Shouyi was lying on the hospital bed, two team members guarded him inch by inch, I entered the ward, the team members immediately got up to salute me, Xie Shouyi just glanced at me, don't look around.
I don't care about him, and tell the two team members who are guarding him that they must not let their guard down, and that they must keep an eye on me closely, if something goes wrong, no one can afford it!
The team member hurriedly agreed, I glanced at Xie Shouyi, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal about him, I went back.
Seeing me enter the police force, Lao Zhang immediately walked over to me, "The information of the fifth person, I have found it!" ”
