Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Chapter 219 Visiting the high school and dialing Ma Ziping
  Ancheng.

The autopsy and trace examination were still continuing. Yan Quan ordered the technicians to check the surveillance cameras, and then walked up to the person who called the police, the girlfriend of the deceased.

The girl's face was still so pale, and her eyes were brighter now, not as dull as when she just found the body.

This is a normal reaction. For ordinary people, dead people are already scary, let alone bloody scenes and empty eye sockets. And that weird smile.

If you are very timid, you can be scared straight into the hospital.

"Are you okay?" Yan Quan's voice was soft.

The girl nodded timidly.

Yan Quan: "Can you tell me what happened?"

The girl replied: "I...I don't know. We had already booked a room. He said he was going to buy... health care products, but he didn't come back for half an hour and didn't answer his phone calls. So I went out to look for... …”

Yan Quan: "Are you students from the School of Nursing?"

Girl: "Yeah."

Yan Quan: "How old are you?"

Girl: "Graduated."

Yan Quan: "What's your boyfriend's name?"

Girl: "Ma Ziping."

Yan Quan: "Local?"

Girl: "No, he is from Yangcheng and I am a local."

Yangcheng?

When Yan Quan heard about this city, his first reaction was to think of Chen Yi, who became famous in the last serial murder case in Jiangcheng.

After the two chatted for a while, Yan Quan didn't get any effective clues. Ma Ziping lived a very simple life. Like most students, he stayed in school all day. When he went out, he would either party with classmates or fall in love with his girlfriend. Girls also I never heard that Ma Ziping had any enemies.

Next came the surveillance and visits, which lasted until late at night.

Anjo City Bureau.

Yan Quan is waiting for the identification results in the technical department.

"Team Yan, only this footprint is suspicious, but it's not quite right." The police officer picked up a piece of translucent paper and showed it to Yan Quan.

Yan Quan was surprised: "So young?"

The police officer nodded: "Size [-]. Normally, it is worn by children around ten years old. If it is an adult, it is most likely a woman who is about [-] meters tall."

Yan Quan said to himself: "About [-] meters, a woman...what are you doing?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll go to the forensic room to have a look."

……

Yangcheng City Bureau.

The criminal investigation detachment was still working overtime. In three days, under the leadership of Chen Yi, all field officers conducted a comprehensive interview on the interpersonal relationships of the deceased Yang Xiuming.

School classmates, teachers, relatives at home, children of relatives, women he had paid money to find, it could be said that anyone Yang Xiuming knew were all included in the visit.

The result is that there is no result and everything is normal.

At this moment, Chen Yi was conducting repeated investigations and surveillance with He Xin in the Communications Section. They still believed that the murderer should not have left after committing the crime.

At least, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer has left.

Tampering with the monitoring is a small probability event. Just in case, we have checked it again to make sure there is no problem with the monitoring.

"Did you check anything missing?"

Watching the surveillance was very boring, so He Xin flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, he was referring to the interpersonal relationships of the deceased.

No suspicious points were found. The incident itself was quite strange. The deceased died so tragically, so it stands to reason that it would not have been for no reason.

Chen Yi leaned on the chair, held his head with one hand, and said, "There are two possibilities now."

"First, our investigation is not comprehensive enough. We don't know who Yang Xiuming must have offended."

"Second, the person who killed Yang Xiuming was a stranger."

WHEN NEW: "I'm starting to gravitate toward strangers now."

Chen Yi: "Let's talk casually. If it's a stranger, what's the motive? What are the fatal characteristics of Yang Xiuming?"

Shi Xin thought about it and said, "Private life is too chaotic?"

Chen Yi nodded: "This is one of the characteristics we have learned so far. Another one is that Yang Xiuming was a thorn in the school when he was in middle school."

"Whether it's an acquaintance committing a crime or a stranger committing a crime, I think there should be no escape from these two points, right?"

Shi Xin pondered for a while and asked another question: "What do you mean by shoes of size [-]?"

In the past few days, he had noticed that Chen Yi had never moved his eyes away from the thirty-four codes left at the scene, and he still felt in his heart that it came from the murderer.

Thirty-four yards, a bit weird, out of the scope of normal cases.

Chen Yi: "Four possibilities, which one do you think is bigger?"

"First, children around ten years old."

"Second, an adult female about [-] meters tall."

"Third, an adult male about [-] meters tall."

"Fourth, wear small shoes on big feet."

Without thinking, Shi Xin said: "Of course the second possibility is more likely."

It is impossible for children to kill people. Men who are about [-] meters tall account for a very low proportion in the big data. Big feet cannot be so small when wearing small shoes. It is unnecessary, so we can only give priority to adult women who are about [-] meters tall.

Chen Yi: "I thought so at first, but after several days of investigation, this possibility has become smaller and smaller for me."

Shi Xin: "What do you think?"

Chen Yi was silent for a while and said: "We checked the high-probability events first, and now we can start thinking about the low-probability events."

"Dwarfism, or short stature due to other diseases, this is the fifth possibility."

Ji Xin thoughtfully said: "Yes, although it is usually difficult to encounter, we cannot rule out this possibility now, but... although the dwarf is short in stature, his appearance is generally the same as that of an adult. The visit has no results... …Let me see."

After saying that, he leaned forward and started operating the computer, adjusting the monitoring time to the moment when the police arrived at the scene of the crime.

The previous interviews were very detailed, and there would definitely be questions like: Have you encountered any strange things or seen strange people?

If anyone nearby has seen a guy with abnormal development, they should have an impression.

"There are definitely quite a few kids."

Watch the surveillance again, fast forward, pause, fast forward, pause, and repeat the operation in order to find the suspicious "child".

But this is only road monitoring and is not comprehensive. There are still many people watching on the alley.

He continued to call up further surveillance, seamlessly surrounding the entire community at [-] degrees.

Chen Yi looked at the new movements and waited quietly.

The case has reached a deadlock and new clues are needed to break it.

If he wanted to check again, he would have to look into his high school days. Tomorrow he would take people to No. [-] Middle School to interview Yang Xiuming and ask if anything unusual happened during his high school days.

The scene where a gentleman takes revenge ten years later may also exist.

Judging from real cases, some people will actually do it if they threaten to kill your whole family in a few years. Never underestimate human nature. When a cow goes crazy, it will go on a rampage, and when a human goes crazy, it will bleed into a river.

In the early morning, Chen Yi was drowsy and was woken up by Shi Xin.

"Any gains?"

Chen Yi shook his head and looked up at the surveillance camera.

He Xin pointed at a figure in the surveillance screen and said, "Look, this child."

Chen Yi came closer.

In the picture, a child of about ten years old left the alley with his head lowered. The pockets of his clothes were bulging and he didn't know what he was holding.

Because he lowered his head, the surveillance cameras could not capture his face.

Time is when the police investigate the scene.

Chen Yi stared at the children in the picture for a while and said, "This time happens to be school time. Are there any other children leaving on foot?"

If not, that's pretty fishy.

Shi Xin said: "Yes, but only this child walked alone."

Chen Yi: "Find the clearest screenshot and ask Zhuo Yun to visit the community again tomorrow to let each family identify whose child or relative."

Shi Xin: "What if we don't even know him? Do we really want to suspect that he is the murderer?"

Chen Yi did not answer, but visually inspected: "Is he [-] meters tall?"

Shi Xin put his eyes on the surveillance camera and said hesitantly: "There is no reference object, I can't see it."

Chen Yidao: "Why not? The height of the small common trash can next to it is generally [-] to [-] centimeters. Judging from the curb next to the trash can, a curb of more than ten centimeters corresponds to a trash can of about [-] centimeters, and then to a child's The height is about one and a half meters."

Hearing this, He Xin was surprised: "I'll go to the humanoid computer and check your height at a glance."

Chen Yi frowned slightly and ignored Shi Xin's compliments: "The heights match, right? We'll check tomorrow. Let Zhuo Yun check, and we'll go to No. [-] Middle School."

Shi Xin nodded: "Okay."

The next day, a new round of visits began. Zhuo Yun took people to the community where the crime was committed, looking for families who knew the child under surveillance. Chen Yi and He Xin came to Yangcheng No. [-] Middle School.

Four years had passed, and the only people they could ask were teachers, so Chen Yi and the others went directly into the principal's office.

The principal was frightened by the detective's visit, and he quickly greeted him politely and asked what happened.

"Did something happen to a former student?"

The principal breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it had nothing to do with No. [-] Middle School.

There is a big difference between accidents involving college students and accidents involving middle school students. The latter can be labeled as management negligence, and the family members have to look for all the points that can increase the compensation.

For example, does the school offer mental health counseling classes? In theory, there should be one, but most high schools generally don't have it, and family members will hold on to it.

Chen Yi: "Principal Lu, can you call Yang Xiuming's head teacher here?"

The principal nodded: "Of course, I will ask someone to check the information in a moment, and then I will call you right away."

Chen Yi: "Thank you, Principal Lu, sorry for the trouble."

The principal smiled and said: "You are polite, as you should. You guys can chat and drink some water first. It will be fine in a while."

About twenty minutes later, Yang Xiuming's former class teacher came to the principal's office with a look of confusion on his face, wondering why the police suddenly came looking for him.

"Teacher Zhao, these are comrades from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment. I need to ask you some questions." After saying that, the principal looked at Chen Yi, "Do I need to avoid it?"

Chen Yi: "No, no, let's chat for a few words and then leave."

Principal: "Okay, let's talk."

After saying that, he returned to his office chair and sat down. On the surface, he was working on files and didn't care about the chat content of several people, but in fact, he would definitely listen.

After Teacher Zhao sat down, Chen Yi said, "Excuse me, do you remember this student Yang Xiuming?"

Teacher Zhao is a middle-aged man wearing glasses. His hair is a little oily. He probably hasn’t washed it for several days. He looks like he teaches mathematics or physics and looks unkempt.

When he heard the name Yang Xiuming, his memory was opened, and he nodded immediately: "Remember, remember, how can I forget this."

Chen Yi: "It's been four years and I remember him so clearly. Is there anything special about him?"

Teacher Zhao said: "Yang Xiuming was particularly difficult to manage, and he even had a quarrel with me in class. At that time, he pushed all the books on the table to the floor and challenged me. Of course I remember this kind of student very clearly. "

Chen Yi nodded.

There are only two types of students that middle school teachers can remember after many years: those who are good at studying and those who are restless and mischievous in adolescence. Yang Xiuming belongs to the latter.

"About Yang Xiuming, can Teacher Zhao tell me more? It would be best if it was something impressive, such as who he quarreled and fought with, and who he fell in love with." He continued to ask.

Teacher Zhao recalled for a while and said: "I also learned from other students that Yang Xiuming seems to be quite famous in our school. Other students don't dare to mess with him. If they dare to mess with him, they will be beaten."

"This kind of student is the thorn in every middle school. They smoke, drink, fall in love and do anything. But if they don't do anything too serious, they would have been expelled from the school."

Chen Yi: "Has he ever been criticized by the whole school for something?"

Teacher Zhao: "That's not true."

Chen Yi: "Do you know who his best friend was at that time?"

The main thing he wanted to ask was this matter. The information the teacher had was limited, and the people who knew Yang Xiuming best were definitely his friends.

Teacher Zhao thought for a while and said, "Yang Xiuming has a good relationship with two students. I often see them together during recess. One of them I don't know, and the other is Ma Ziping in the class."

Chen Yi: "What three words?"

Teacher Zhao: "The horses of cows and horses, the children of children, the peace of peace."

Chen Yi: "How tall is Ma Ziping?"

Teacher Zhao: "I don't know about that, I'm not short."

Chen Yi: "Is it over [-] meters?"

Teacher Zhao was stunned for a moment and felt a little strange: "Absolutely, you must be [-] meters tall at least. Children nowadays are developing very well, and high school is a period of rapid growth."

Chen Yi nodded slightly and continued to ask: "What was the name of Yang Xiuming's girlfriend at the time?"

This remark made Teacher Zhao frown. In his opinion, high school love means falling in love prematurely and not doing serious work. He subconsciously felt that the word "girlfriend" was uncomfortable. At most, it was just a chase between adolescent cats and puppies.

"Ren...Ren Xuan, yes, it's Ren Xuan. I've seen them holding hands and even criticized them individually."

Chen Yi: "Okay, thank you."

After asking Teacher Zhao everything he knew, Chen Yi and others left No. [-] Middle School and returned to the car.

The car didn't start, and He Xin was checking people.

Five minutes later, he looked at the computer screen and said, "Ma Ziping, he graduated from high school and was admitted to Ancheng Nursing College. He should graduate this year."

"Ancheng?" Chen Yi thought of a person, "Captain Yan Quan's place."

Shi Xin hummed and asked, "Go to Ancheng or make a phone call?"

Chen Yi: "There are no direct clues at the moment. Call now. Put it on speakerphone."

When is new: "Okay."

He took out his cell phone and dialed Ma Ziping's number. After a long time, no one answered.

"Fight again," Chen Yida said.

When will new continue dialing.
