Silent Reading

Chapter 56: Humbert Twenty-three

In the dim room, the place where Luminol reagent was sprayed glowed with faint fluorescence. Floors, roofs, door slits ... Large tracts were connected together, almost everywhere, almost a layer of dizzy wallpaper.

There are old blood stains that have not been cleaned up in the gap of the removed sofa, which is particularly shocking on the spotless light-colored floor. I don't know how many years of grievances, and finally see the sun again.

The walls are covered with soundproofing materials, and a photo wall is hung in the middle of the living room. The beautiful countryside and natural scenery are staggered on display there, full of elegant artistic atmosphere-if not it is also coated with "fluorescent film".

In the bedroom, there is a "Shepherd's Picture". The large picture frame that is one meter high is very important. A technician at the site looked at it for a while and felt that something was wrong. He took it down and checked it, and found it inside. The camera was installed, and the lens peeked out from the eyes of the shepherd's girl. This made the smile on the young girl's face in the painting unreasonably subtle.

Inside the locked storage room next to the bedroom are various knives and ropes that need forensic identification ...

None of the above, however, is as creepy as the enlarged picture on the south-facing window.

"Vice Mr. Tao, his window is the old-fashioned type. It is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers, and a layer of opaque curtains commonly used in hotels. The photo is pasted on the outside of this layer of glass." The technician said to Tao Ran, "So, even if a solar storm erupts outside, it can be blocked by this layer of UV-resistant curtains. There will be no strong light penetrating the photo paper ... oh, but this photo is really learned. ! "

The photo is enlarged to a delicate and precise ratio. In a realistic dark environment, people standing in this room are really indistinguishable from day and night. At first glance, you might think that the night view outside the glass window is like this. The streets are thin and narrow, the old buildings are sparsely lined up in rows, the distant street lights are still a hundred meters away, the flower beds grow freely and loosely, the tender flowers and weeds coexist, somehow withered a small piece, from a high angle, just right You can see a faint light in the middle of the dead branches. I don't know where the light source reflected to the basement looming in the flower bed. A small window exposed in the corner of the basement had a girl's fuzzy face.

This is important evidence. The technicians at the two sites stepped forward carefully and unloaded the photo with glass.

Tao Ran opened the blackout curtains and pushed open the outer window. At this moment, his pupils shrank, and the white hair sweat running under the big sun suddenly disappeared like a tide--

Tao Ran Huoran saw that the pile of rulers and stones used to represent Wu Guangchuan's house outside the window were exactly the same as the corresponding position in the photo after closing the window.

"Deputy Tao! Deputy Tao!" A police intern who was left to interrogate the property ran in three steps and two steps, and started to walk in the corridor. "The property admits it! It is true that this house is a group rent, but the tenants It doesn't seem to be a regular resident. It may be a white-collar worker who works nearby. Come and take a nap or something. The people in the property said that they do n’t open fire very much.

"Be careful, this is the scene!"

"Don't rush inside, stay away!"

When the young man saw this "spectacular" room at the door, he was dumbfounded and was knocked down by his colleagues.

"There are no hidden dangers," Tao Ran's eyes stared out the window without blinking. "Can the homeowner try to contact?"

"The room and the owner are abroad. They just made a phone call. It's an empty number. They have to think of other ways." The intern said of it here, "Oh, yes, Mr. Tao, parking lot 201 It's occupied, there's a suv! "

The traffic management department quickly retrieved the owner information of the car-it was not the owner of Room 201, nor was anyone involved in the case. The registered owner was an old man who couldn't hit the pole, except for the household registration. In Yancheng, he has moved to other places for many years. After receiving a phone call from the police, the old man was inexplicable at first. He was a little panicked when he heard the police asked about the license plate.

After further questioning, I learned that although the license plate was his, the car was not.

After the old man retired, he went to live with his children in the field. If the license plate is not needed, he simply rented it out in private during the past few years, and received some money every year. Just show up, and the tenant will be reimbursed for the toll.

"Is this ... is there a fine? Or do I have to deduct my driving license?" The license plate owner kept explaining. "Comrade police, I really forfeit much money, only over two thousand a year. I don't believe I show you the contract ..."

"You leased your personal license plate illegally and signed a contract?" Tao Ran was very speechless. "Who is the person who signed the contract with you?"

"Oh ... it's a woman, called Su ... what is Su? Oh yes, Su Xiaolan!"

Tao Ran hung up the phone and turned around sternly: "From the day Qu Qu disappeared to the present, check the driving track of this car!"

"Tao deputy team, this car is not equipped with GPS and driving recorder, can only look at the road network monitoring-the day before Qu Tong's home received the recording, the car passed the city from Nan Airport Expressway and then turned into Yangang Expressway After two hours, I got off the highway on the national highway, and for another half an hour, I drove out of the national highway, turned out of the monitoring area, and returned the same way the next day. I didn't enter the gas station during the whole journey. "

In other words, the car did not go too far after leaving the national road.

"When he left the national highway, what was nearby?"

"Some natural villages ... a seaside sanatorium, a farmhouse, an oil painting village."

Marina?

Tao Ran approached the photo wall of the living room, and one of the photos was just a snap shot of the waves washing the reef in the sunset.

"Position where all the photos on this wall were taken, let's go!"

Tao Ran went out of the city, and Luo Wenzhou and Fei Du entered the city.

The sunset began to sink again, and the summer heat was still steaming. Yan City Bureau finally stopped a bit. When Luo Wenzhou returned, the registration of the information was basically completed. Let the family members wait for the news. Far from home, or purely unwilling, still hovering in the city bureau, the watchkeeper and the criminal investigation team had to arrange for them to go to the cafeteria for dinner first.

Luo Wenzhou unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, and ran away two bags of instant coffee from Lang Qiao's desk, poured it into the water bottle against the mouth of the bottle, and shook it hard. The instant coffee reluctantly stayed in the cold water. The melted, melted, soaked in the color and taste of strange hunting, then he drank a small half of the bottle under Feidu's shocked gaze: "Look, I didn't drink urine."

Fei Du felt that the retina's stomach was hurting, as if his eyes were drinking a big mouthful of cold sesame oil. He quickly looked away and stared intently at the photos of them turning out of the ashes.

"Hundreds of missing girls for more than two decades. Although it may be harsh to join them as a" member ", isn't the number of five suspects a little small?" Fei Du flicked the photo in his hand, " And these all seem quite new, they should be just in recent years ... "

When he said that, he suddenly lost his voice.

Luo Wenzhou glanced at him with a question, Fei Du carefully picked up one of the photos across a pair of glasses-it was a man looking up, looking quite gentle, forty years old, looking Fairly Zhou Zheng.

Each person recorded in the photo has several photos from different angles. They should be sneak shots, and then leave the more recognizable ones. The other photos of the man either had a wretched intoxication or a distorted expression. Only this one had a smaller expression, which was more or less an individual.

"This person seems a bit familiar." Fei Du froze his chin. "Familiar, but I can't remember it. It must not be known in business. When I receive a business card, I will pay attention to the other person's facial features. Behind the business card, it takes a long time to save it. I ca n’t think of it embarrassingly; I ’m definitely not the same person I ’ve played with. I usually play with only a few of them. Even if I bring someone, I do n’t bring this kind of old man. The sensitivity of the face is very average. People with one side of the border usually don't remember it for more than a month. That should be within 30 days. "

Luo Wenzhou took instant coffee like urine and listened to Fei Du's memory very freshly. He knew himself like a otaku to computer configuration. He was precise and objective. Although he didn't necessarily remember everything, But all patterns of behavior follow.

He seemed to take his brain away from time to time, smashing each of these thoughts and studying them carefully.

At this moment, Fei Du has quickly recalled the whole month's schedule-a middle-aged man, a mid-range Swiss watch on his wrist, which has a certain amount of economic strength, and it is reasonable to say that it will not appear in the mischievous Fuer Where young generations gather together ...

At this time, Lang Qiao came in with a dead dog look: "Boss, you are back, I don't want to settle the family of the victim anymore! I ..."

Luo Wenzhou raised a finger at her.

"Qin teacher," Fei Du said suddenly, "Xiling Depot Club has his picture on the wall. He was not there on the day of the accident, so the boss invited a wild band to help ... yes, even if I met a robber. This is something that hasn't happened in a century, and the first reaction of people who are not familiar with the terrain is to retreat first and avoid the incident, rather than 'hand holding the sheep.' "

"No wonder the surveillance at the intersections failed to capture him that day. Since it is a" membership "system, there must be a relationship of introduction between these people. The other four can follow the lead and refuse to recruit. Come out? "Luo Wenzhou turned to Lang Qiao," You don't like to settle down, do you catch people? "

Lang Qiao heard the words "grabbing people", hit a tube of chicken blood in situ, and was completely swept away. Without saying a word, he ran away after taking the photo.

Luo Wenzhou picked up the file and woke up a colleague who was snoring in the office: "Wake up, go, and review Xu Wenchao with me."

The two went out one after the other, Fei Du stood up and stretched out a very restrained lazy waist. The smell of smoke and sesame oil were all around him, and he felt that it was not a long time to stay here, and he was planning to leave. At this time, Luo Wenzhou But they went back again.

"I have a few words to tell you," Luo Wenzhou said, "but you have to do the business first, you don't have to leave first, you can wait in my office first."

After that, he hurried away again.

Fei Du froze for a while, took half a footsteps and stood there for a moment, and finally shrank back.

After all, Xu Wenchao was not as heartless and heartless as Su Luozhan. He was obviously not asleep the night before.

His eye sockets were sinking, and he was prepared for the police to take turns to try them. It was nothing. At the time of the two kidnappings, he had a clear proof of absence.

It was for this reason that Su Luozhan dared to recruit him.

The Yancheng City Bureau is not a small police station in a remote county. Everyone is watching. They absolutely dare not use any torture to confess to a young girl under the age of 14.

For him, there was no actual evidence, and as soon as the time of detention was over, they had to let go.

But who knows, waited all day and stayed one night, I didn't care about him.

The police in the city bureau seem to have forgotten him.

Xu Wenchao was calm on his face, but gradually lost his initial determination in the long passage of time, and some of them were upset-did they completely believe after hearing their proof of absence? Quit investigating him?

Although it's better to do this ... but if his suspicions have been cleared, why don't they let them go?

Just as Xu Wenchao kept drumming in his heart, Luo Wenzhou brought people in.

"The smell of smoke on the body is a bit heavy," Luo Wenzhou pulled open his chair and sat down opposite him. "I'm sorry, mainly to kick your fox tail, and lived all night."

Xu Wenchao was shocked, adjusted his sitting position slightly, and stared at Luo Wenzhou with a motionless gaze: "For this matter, I really have nothing to say."

Luo Wenzhou smiled at him, his attitude seemed to say very casually: "What is your relationship with Su Luozhan?"

"I'm her mother's fiance." Xu Wenchao answered patiently. "Police officer, I have already answered this question."

"I know you are Su Xiaolan's fiance," Luo Wenzhou raised an eyebrow, and suddenly looked at him with some meaningful eyes. "I just want to know that if you intend to marry Su Xiaolan, you will lose love with that residual flower. It's over, still fancy her little daughter? "

Xu Wenchao first froze, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, and said angrily: "This police officer, are you responsible for speaking!"

Luo Wenzhou's face did not change: "Su Xiaolan, orphan and widow, have no education, no background, no serious work, the source of life is a mystery, and there are many unpleasant rumors. Mr. Xu, you have a successful career, a full-fledged car and a long leader It's not bad. It should be an ideal object. I've always wondered. If you are telling the truth, why isn't she willing to marry you? "

"Marriage and love cannot be measured by material conditions," Xu Wenchao sneered, barely suppressing anger, maintaining his demeanor, "Moreover, this is a private matter between our doors, I think-"

Luo Wenzhou interrupted him: "She refuses to marry you. Is it because she looks at money like dung, or do you not want to marry her?"

Xu Wenchao said coldly, "What does this have to do with the case? You can interrogate everything about the case, even if I am innocent, but you can't insult me ​​..."

Luo Wenzhou interrupted him again: "Insulting you ... love on the window of the bedroom in the south of Room No. 201, Unit 3, Building 8 of Xiangyang District, facing south ..."?

Xu Wenchao's body froze, and the blood on his face faded like a tide.

There was a silence in the interrogation room.

The criminal policeman who took the record next to me was busy all night. I just got confused in the duty room. I haven't had time to keep up with the latest progress of my colleagues. I can't help covering it by turning the page. I want to yawn and hear this. He yawned in his throat for half a yawn, and looked at Luo Wenzhou with a dumb look, and then looked at Xu Wenchao.

Xu Wenchao roared in his ear, and the irritability in his heart that was stimulated by the other party's speech was like a fuse leading to a thunder. A thunder fell from the sky, and along that lead was the fire of Hagiwara. He squeezed out of his throat. A line of denial: "What are you talking about ..."

"Xiangyang District, Building 8, your teenage photographs are still posted on the window," Luo Wenzhou said, "there is blood on the scene, which means that DNA can still be traced back, and there is you in the suv on the parking space of that house. Su Xiaolan handed it to me, as well as the photos taken by the peeping eyes behind the frame. "

With a smile, he reached out and knocked on the table: "Mr. Xu, can we talk now?"
