Chapter 22: Cigarette butts

April 16, 2018, at 21:00 p.m., outside the fence next to the gymnasium of the Police University in Dia City.

The quiet night was broken by the sudden sound of sirens, and flashing red and blue colors appeared around the police academy one after another, and it seemed that the hasty "big battle" could also be felt from the sound of sirens, of course, it also attracted the attention of many teachers and students in the school, unlike the general university, the young boys and girls did not fall into some kind of unknown panic, but enthusiastically learned about the situation from the police detectives who rushed to the scene.

At this time, Li Xiaonan, as the first discoverer, was left at the scene by Salted Fish, and through his reminder, the police had removed the monitor installed on the tree branch and brought it back to the police station to read the contents.

At the same time, the entire police university was banned by the police detectives who rushed to the scene, including the traffic police within five kilometers of the vicinity of the traffic police, all the traveling personnel and vehicles must go through strict investigation, especially the front and rear tire specifications of the car - through the shallow sand left on the scene, there are only traces of a car parked, and the tire marks on its front and rear wheels are two different patterns.

"There's a group of people stalking me..."Li Xiaonan quietly called the salted fish over, rubbed a cigarette, and told him the cause and effect of the incident.

"According to this, they should not have a student ID card from the police university, and Xiaoyu will be able to surface soon." Salted Fish said, "And the rest of the people who came prepared... Wait for the results of the blockade investigation before making a decision. ”

Li Xiaonan signaled understanding, and under the puzzled gaze of the salted fish, he put the extinguished cigarette butt into his trouser pocket.

"During sensitive periods, what if you are taken advantage of by someone with a heart." Li Xiaonan explained: "So the police are going to officially intervene in this assessment?" ”

Xianyu nodded: "After all, there is a new case, whether it is a new serial corpse mutilation case, I have no reason to ignore it." ”

As soon as the words fell, a forensic doctor wearing a hood and a white coat trotted in front of Salted Fish, his eyes first swept over Li Xiaonan, and then spoke: "A complete human bone of the right leg, there is no residual flesh and blood tissue on the bone, according to the account of the first discoverer, there was residual warmth on the bone when it was discovered, indicating that this right leg has just been steamed and fatted." ”

"If the body thrower isn't inside the police academy, then it can only be the car that stopped here."

Salted fish waved his hand, signaling that the forensic doctor could take his right leg back to the police station for further autopsy, staring at the back of the forensic doctor's trotting all the way, Salted fish seemed to be a little irritated and began to pace back and forth.

"If you have enough people... Let's go to my dorm room to investigate first, except for the plan to leave over the wall tonight, I've been basically hanging around the surveillance coverage in order to catch one of the stalkers these days. Li Xiaonan looked at the salted fish who was a little embarrassed, and said: "Although I am in the selection period, I have already been involved in this case, so I don't need to care about our relationship or my identity, it is good for us to investigate it earlier." ”

Salty raised an eyebrow, patted Li Xiaonan's shoulder apologetically, and then beckoned a police officer to say something.

"Has Wind Waiting for Burial contacted you?" Li Xiaonan asked Xiang Xianyu again.

Salted Fish shook his head and stopped: "No, the last time I contacted was on the day of the rain." ”

Li Xiaonan bowed slightly, asked for a cigarette from Salted Fish again and pinned it to his ear, and then squatted on the side of the road regardless of his image, and the two waited for the results of the search and investigation together.

Although Li Xiaonan also wanted to join the investigation team, at this time, due to the identity of the suspect, there was no way to get out of the crime scene.

Half an hour later, the police station came with news about the surveillance records, fortunately, the camera hidden in the shade of the tree has been activated, although it is not known who put it there, but it does provide a reliable timeline - at about 19:30 in the evening, a pure black sedan stopped next to the garbage heap, the driver got out of the car and took out a black plastic bag that appeared to contain a heavy object from the back seat, threw it into the garbage heap, and then immediately drove away. Immediately afterwards, at around 20:10, Li Xiaonan's figure appeared in the surveillance. No one or vehicle passes by or stops during this period.

“...”

Silent.

After watching the video received on their mobile phones, Li Xiaonan and Salted Fish seemed to be petrified in place.

Because through the surveillance screen, it can be clearly seen that the person who got out of the car and threw the body wearing a peaked cap is a man... From a simple calculation of the angle, it can be seen that the height of a man is about 165cm to 168cm...

"Is that wrong?" Li Xiaonan thought a little dazedly: "No... No, according to the reasoning ... Perhaps someone else will cooperate with 'her' in dismembering and throwing the body. ”

"Fingerprints!" Li Xiaonan blurted out: "Are there fingerprints on the video recorder!" ”

Salted fish came back to his senses, and after browsing the report received on his mobile phone, he replied: "There is only a clear set of fingerprints, which is very fresh, and after comparison, it belongs to the junior student of the police academy - Lin Guangfei." ”

Ten minutes later, Xiao Fei, who looked confused, was successfully found by Li Xiao, who had "lifted the seal", and brought him to Salted Fish.

"Lin Guangfei?" Salty asked, staring at the apparently immature face.

"It's... It's me..."Xiao Fei was still full of doubts, and kept looking at Li Xiaonan beside him, but unfortunately, the response he got was another face full of solemnity.

"Yours is the VCR on the branch over there?" Salted fish stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction, and asked in a deep voice again.

"VCR?" Xiao Fei looked in the direction of the salted fish's finger, but didn't find the expected flashing red dot: "I don't have a video recorder." ”

"But we found a video recorder that had been set up to capture every move at the scene of the crime, and you know what that coincidence." Li Xiaonan took over the conversation and added: "And after comparison, there is only a set of fresh fingerprints that belong to you." ”

Silent.

Li Xiaonan and the two looked at Xiao Fei who was deep in thought, expecting him to recall something.

"It's Wen Tingting." Xiao Fei suddenly spoke, after all, he also studied at the Police Academy, and after this series of interrogations and thoughts, his brain went online quickly: "That cheerleader I met because I picked up her video recorder." ”

"When?" Li Xiaonan asked.

"Four days ago, at the downtown stadium, I went there to participate in a basketball game outside the school, and I accidentally picked up a video recorder, and then the owner who waited for it was Wen Tingting." Fei struggled to recall: "In return, she treated me to a meal, and we left each other's contact information. ”

"She's not from our school?" Li Xiaonan was a little surprised.

"yes... Senior brother..."Xiao Fei was a little overwhelmed: "When I came back that night, I told my roommates about it. ”

"I thought that if I didn't take the initiative to make an appointment, I would never have the chance to meet her again, but yesterday she sent a message saying that she was going to come to our school today to dance the opening dance of the ball game... That's why we're just..."

After Xiaofei's explanation, Li Xiaonan's brain seemed to turn out of Mars: "Where is she now?" ”

"I don't know... I should have left with the cheerleaders... I had planned to ask her to have dinner after the game, but I was refused. Fei replied.

"Contact information, look into the information." Salty immediately called the police officer on the side and took Xiaofei's mobile phone.

"How tall is she?" Li Xiaonan asked again.

"It's about 165cm, and it's a little taller when you wear shoes." Xiao Fei gestured in front of him with his hand.

"Boss!"

As he pondered, a police officer's voice came from the other side of the fence: "There is a discovery in the school!" ”

“...”

During the day, Li Xiaonan once landed on the tree-lined path.

At this point, the path was cordoned off and protected by police officers because the intact skeleton of the victim's torso was found in a trash can next to one of the benches.

Xiao Fei has already been taken away by the police detectives under Salted Fish with his mobile phone to be questioned and record his confession.

Li Xiaonan followed the salted fish and came to the second place where the human bones were found.

"There's no monitoring here..."Li Xiaonan whispered to Salted Fish: "I came here at noon, and I wanted to catch a stalker to ask about the situation, but there were too many classmates passing by, and I didn't have a chance to do it." ”

"Does it smell like this black garbage bag at noon?" Salted Fish also whispered in response.

Li Xiaonan turned his head to look at this slightly long tree-lined path, and after making sure that there was only this one garbage can, he replied: "No, I paid attention when I passed by this garbage can, and there was nothing in it." ”

"So the time to throw the corpse is after 12:00 noon..."Salted fish recorded the information, and just wanted to say something to Li Xiaonan, he was interrupted by the forensic doctor who trotted over: "Chief, the angle of the pubic symphysis is greater than 90 degrees, and it is a pubic arch..."

Heard.

Li Xiaonan and the two were petrified again at the scene - the deceased was a woman.

"Is there a result of the DNA comparison?" Salted Fish scratched his head a little anxiously and asked the police officer of the investigation team.

Everything that happened today was contrary to their previous reasoning, whether it was the figure of the body thrown away from the surveillance or the sudden appearance of the victim's gender.

"Not yet, sir." The officer responded: "The department is speeding up. ”

A few minutes later, Li Xiao couldn't come back to his senses and asked Xiang Xianyu: "How is the progress of the traffic police's collaborative investigation?" ”

Salted fish looked down at the message that came: "I haven't found it yet, there are no cars with different specifications on the front and rear wheels at all, and there are no suspicious male drivers driving alone..."

Speaking of this, the two widened their eyes and looked at each other: "Fooled." ”

Xianyu hurriedly dialed the phone number of the traffic police: "The different specifications of the front and rear wheels are a blind way, and female drivers who ride together or drive alone should also be carefully investigated." ”

Hanging up the phone, Xianyu walked outside the cordon, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, and handed one to Li Xiaonan next to him: "He deliberately left a false clue..."

"I was negligent too..."Li Xiaonan sighed, "Those two tires with different patterns will most likely be thrown into a certain forest in the southern suburbs, and then found in tonight's 'ploughing' type investigation." ”

"That woman, Wen Tingting..."Salty Fish spat out a puff of smoke and muttered, "I hope they haven't left the blockade yet." ”

"Ding..."

Li Xiaonan's phone rang at this time, and at the same time, the police also beckoned the salted fish back into the cordon.

Staring at the half of the burning cigarette that the salted fish threw on the ground, Li Xiaonan pressed the connect button.

"I was busy just now, did you find anything, Ananda." The panting voice of the wind waiting for the funeral came out of the earpiece, and it sounded like it had just finished some kind of exercise.

"The body appeared, inside the police university." Li Xiaonan was still concise: "And the new clues... There may be some contradictions with our previous reasoning. ”

After a few minutes of silence, Feng Beifu said, "Understood, I'll go over to meet you tomorrow, my side... Let's meet and talk. ”

After Li Xiaonan hung up the phone, he saw that the salted fish was waving to him, and after nodding, Li Xiaonan extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground, put it in his trouser pocket, and then walked over quickly.

"What brand of cigarette do you smoke?" Salted fish seemed to ask Li Xiaonan casually.

As the words fell, Li Xiaonan "chuckled" in his heart, the thing he was most afraid of seemed to have appeared, frowning, Li Xiaonan replied quietly: "It's the brand I handed you before, and I kept smoking that, it's cheap." ”

"Ahh Salty replied a little absent-mindedly, his dark pupils rolling in his sockets, as if he was worried about something.

After a long time.

"Ding..."

Salted fish's mobile phone rang in an eerie silent atmosphere, he first swept his gaze over Li Xiaonan, and then fell on the mobile phone screen - the test report showed that in the trash can where the torso bones were found, inside the black plastic bag wrapped in human bones, there was a cigarette butt stained with saliva, and through DNA comparison, the owner of the saliva was a senior student at the Dia City Police Academy - Li Xiaonan.
