"It may also be a worker who repairs water pipes." Zhao Yu said, "Ask the owner of the previous photo studio first."
After the owner of the photo studio in the period of the Republic of China died, the photo studio was vacant until a few days ago, a brave man bought it, and after a few people died, it was abandoned again. Fortunately, this guy is not dead and is still alive. When we investigated the bride case last time, I left the address and phone number of the boss with Zhao Yu, and this time I went directly to the address.
He lives near this photo studio, and he is only two streets away. The former boss was a young man named Chen Yan. He looked about twenty-seven or eighty years old. He was a returnee who studied art, and he seemed to be from a good family. After knocking on the door for a long time, the long-haired artistic man got up and opened the door with a sleepy look on his face.
"Who are you looking for?" Chen Yan rubbed his eyes and asked.
"Are you Chen Yan? Police, I want to investigate something with you." I said, "I met you before, do you remember us?"
When Chen Yan heard the police, he was stunned, and said helplessly: "Isn't that the case? It really has nothing to do with me. I'll go, there's really no way out now. The neighbors all suspect that I murdered you. What do you say?" Why should I kill my client?"
Zhao Yu said: "Since it's not you, then please cooperate with our investigation and find the murderer one day earlier. Wouldn't you be able to get rid of the suspicion one day earlier? This way no one will make irresponsible remarks about you, right?"
Chen Yan scratched his hair helplessly, opened the door, and said, "Okay, come in."
I smiled at Zhao Yu and followed him into the door. This artist is different. The house is decorated in a literary style, and there is a Garfield lying on the sofa. As soon as I saw it, I immediately went up to tease it. The cat gave me a blank look, jumped off the sofa with a unique expression on its face, and sneaked into the bedroom silently.
The literary man opened the refrigerator and asked, "What do the two police officers drink?"
Zhao Yu said: "We just ask a few questions, you don't need to trouble, thank you."
The literary man was not polite to us, he took a bottle of drink and drank it, sat on the sofa opposite us, and asked, "What do you want to know? I have recorded the transcripts several times before, and I don't know any details. Tell the police, and if you ask me again, I will still say the same thing.¡±
Zhao Yu said: "I just want to ask a few small questions. After you bought the photo studio, did you ask the water company to repair the pipes?"
Chen Yan didn't seem to expect that Zhao Yu would ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please, because a few days after I packed the photo studio, the faucet in the bathroom on the second floor broke down. It seems to be blocked somewhere. I really Called the water company to ask them to send a repairman, at first no one would come, but finally a master came and fixed it."
"What does the repairman look like?" Zhao Yu asked.
Chen Yan recalled for a while, and said: "That's it, in his forties, male, not very tall, I really can't remember the appearance of ordinary people."
I said: "You'd better recall carefully, this person is very important to the detection of the case."
When Chen Yan heard it, he was surprised and said: "Could it be the plumber? Damn, no way, let me think about it. He has been cleaning up those abandoned water pipes outside the window, and he basically didn't enter the house."
Zhao Yu said: "Did you ask him to tidy up?"
Chen Yan shook his head and said: "No, it was he who said that these abandoned water pipes are too ugly and useless to put here. Anyway, he was fine that day, so let me dismantle it. I saw that this master is quite enthusiastic, and there are not many I asked for wages, so I agreed. After I agreed, I went to work. But then he left after dismantling half of it, saying that the company had something to do and was in a hurry to go back, so I let him go."
I said: "After that, you found out that the bride was gone, didn't you?"
Chen Yan recalled: "The woman who came to take pictures that day seems to be, almost, we waited for her downstairs for half an hour, but she didn't come down, so we went up to have a look, but we couldn't find it anywhere. At this time The plumber must have left long ago."
Zhao Yu and I looked at each other, thinking that there was probably something wrong with the plumber. So we asked him if he could recall the man's appearance, Chen Yan shook his head and sighed: "I really can't remember, it's been more than half a month, besides, who of you will remember an ordinary worker in particular?"
Seeing that Chen Yan really couldn't provide any other clues, we said goodbye to him and asked him to tell us anything he remembered. Then he went out the door under Chen Yan's impatient gaze.
After going out, Zhao Yu said that he would go to the water company to check. Neither of us held out much hope for the trip, though. Sure enough, there were no clues after checking, because the water company didn't have such a person at all. Obviously an imposter. It was true that someone called to call for maintenance personnel, butEveryone was busy, and then forgot about it. Since the opponent didn't fight anymore, they all gave up.
"It seems that the water pipe problem in the photo studio may be the murderer's hand and foot. He was looking for an opportunity to enter the photo studio without being suspected." Zhao Yu said to me: "It's a pity that this photo studio was left over from the Republic of China period. , There is no monitoring equipment at all, otherwise the appearance of this person can be photographed.
"It seems that the plumber's clues can't be checked." I was a little discouraged.
"Then look up the Sanda coach. What's his name? I remember it was Mano." Zhao Yu said.
"Mano, the gold-digger who hit the name "If You Are the One"." I said, admiring the zombie Zhao Yu's ability to never forget.
"I think he is more likely, let's try it out." Zhao Yu said.
So we asked Lin Yufan, a technical geek, to call up all the information of Mano as much as possible. At the same time, other colleagues were mobilized to spy on the Mano family. However, the investigation found that Mano was not married and did not have any children. He has been to many places in the past 40 years, including Shanghai and Tianjin, but he has always led the team to play competitions, or personally participated in national Sanda competitions, and his results are really good. If I was born a few years earlier, maybe I could know this person, after all, we have also practiced Sanda.
This person's experience seems to be pure, without any bad records. The only thing that was unusual was that for a while he had consulted a psychiatrist and prescribed antidepressants. We investigated his attending doctor at the time, and the doctor said that Mano lost a very important game, so he was depressed and depressed, but he has recovered after treatment.
The doctor's statement is understated, and we don't fully believe it. But after monitoring Mano for a while, he really didn't find anything special. His daily life is like that of a retired old man. He regularly goes for a run in the square near the community, occasionally goes fishing, and watches other people play chess. Then go on a trip or something. However, he doesn't have any good friends and is very withdrawn. Although he has been a coach for so many years, the relationship with his students is actually very cold and distant, and no student usually remembers to come back to see him.
After checking this, Zhao Yu and I have some doubts about whether we have checked the wrong direction, because there is really nothing suspicious about Mano. But during the more than a week of investigating him, the serial killer seemed to have stopped, and there were no other cases of the bride being killed. During the period of investigation, our city bureau had a regular visitor, Zou Xiaonan. In order to find news clues, this guy pestered me and asked Zhao Yu all day, it was as annoying as a fly.
On this day, Zhao Yu and I were studying the case at the Municipal Bureau Office, when Su Ling suddenly came to the Municipal Bureau to look for me.
I went to the reception room to take a look, and saw Su Ling's rare expression of sadness and uneasiness.
"Sister Fairy, what happened?" I asked.
"Lingxi was taken away." Su Ling said, stepped forward and handed me a note: "Someone left it in front of my store, and I brought it to you as soon as I saw it. In the morning Lingxi I went out to deliver the goods and never came back. At noon, I called her and didn't answer, thinking that she was looking for you to play again. Until the evening, I heard someone stop outside the door. I thought it was a customer, so I went out to have a look , there is no one, but there is this letter."
"What?! The wicked girl was taken away?!" I felt a thud in my heart, and quickly unfolded the note, and saw that there were a few calligraphy written on it: "I want to save Ruan Lingxi, see you at the cemetery behind Dasi Village tonight."
"Who is this?!" I couldn't help but gritted my teeth and cursed: "Could it be that murderer jumped the wall in a hurry?! It seems that we checked the wrong person!"
Zhao Yu took a look at the note and said, "Calm down first. There are not many people who use paper notes to convey information these days, and even fewer write with a brush. I'll go find the handwriting appraisal experts in the city to have a look." Look, there's this paper, maybe there's fingerprints on it"
I interrupted him impatiently and said: "I'm afraid the villain won't be able to wait! I'm going to have a look tonight to see who plays with us!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
