Chuanshan

Chapter 6

Bai Ze raised his hand to look at his watch, and said, "Sister Huan, I'm going...to use the bathroom."

Lin Huan let out a "huh" and continued to flip through the chat records. Just now, the Technical Detective sent over the communication records of the second victim, Luo Pingwen. Lin Huan was doing a cross-comparison and had no time to talk to him.

Bai Ze actually wanted to take a look at Yan Lan.He quietly walked into the lounge, and seeing that Yan Lan was still asleep, he adjusted the wind direction of the air conditioner, pulled the quilt covering him, and stared at him for a while before walking out of the lounge. As soon as he went out, he bumped into Qiao Chen head-on.

Bai Ze yelled with some guilt: "Deputy Qiao."

Qiao Chen nodded and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I..." Bai Ze pointed to the room, "I'm here to get things, I'll go back and watch the surveillance."

Qiao Chen stared at Bai Ze's back, and for some reason, he could see that he was running away. He let out a "tsk" and pushed open the door of the lounge.

"Yan Lan? Wake up?"

"I have something to say!" Yan Lan said this with her back to Qiao Chen.

Qiao Chen pushed his shoulder and said, "Why don't you sit up after waking up? What are you doing?! The kids cover you with the quilt to turn on the air conditioner, and you just pretend to be asleep? Playing hard to get?"

"It's not him." Yan Lan turned over and sat up, rubbing her face.

"What's the matter with you?!" Qiao Chen rolled his eyes, "I saw him at the door just now, isn't he a ghost? Are you still hiding with me?"

Yan Lan raised her head and looked at Qiao Chen: "You're not serious, are you?"

"Yes! My Captain Yan!" Qiao Chen pointed to Yan Lan's clothes, Yan Lan pulled the collar forward, and straightened the hat behind her.

Seeing that he had almost woken up, Qiao Chen began to say, "I went to the University of Science and Technology with Fatty, and found that Luo Pingwen was the No. 2 deceased, that associate professor, who had a bad reputation among the students."

"Get to the point." Yan Lan stood up and walked outside.

Qiao Chen followed him and said, "It's a matter of personal style. It's been rumored in school that he doesn't get along with female students. Damn... Big brother, why did you stop suddenly?!"

"Duan Zhuo harassed a female colleague, Zhang Mingzhi molested his daughter, Luo Pingwen had an affair with a female student." Yan Lan turned around and patted Qiao Chen, "Comrade Qiao Chen, where is your professional sensitivity?! The murderer is conscious picking victims."

Yan Lan walked quickly to the office area, and said, "Lin! Bai! You two go to the University of Science and Technology again, and talk to the girl from the mathematics department who stayed in school."

"Come on!" Lin Huan took off the pen on the back of her hair, quickly grabbed a high ponytail, then fumbled in the drawer a few times to find a pair of framed glasses, straightened her clothes, and took them out of the cabinet. After writing out a few books and holding them in front of his chest, he turned to Qiao Chen and asked, "Officer Qiao, do I look like a college student?"

"Monster!" Pang Guanglong said beside him, "It's a pity that you don't become an actor!"

Lin Huan raised his hand and pretended to hit Pang Guanglong, but Pang Guanglong hurriedly hid aside, Lin Huan gave him a glare, and then called to Bai Ze: "Bai Bai! Let's go!"

"Ah...?" Bai Ze asked, "Don't I need to prepare anything?"

Lin Huan said with a smile: "You look like a student now, let's go, I'll tell you more about it on the way."

Pang Guanglong leaned on the chair and said, "Boss, I'm hungry..."

Qiao Chen rolled his eyes: "Are you hungry at four o'clock? Are you really going to follow this 'fat' trend?"

Yan Lan took out her mobile phone and called up the ordering software and handed it to Pang Guanglong, saying, "Order by yourself, password-free payment."

"Thank you, Boss!" Pang Guanglong took the phone quickly, and deliberately swung the phone away from Qiao Chen, and said with a sullen expression, "Qiao Fu, do you want to eat?"

Yan Lan looked up at his watch and said, "It's almost time for the food to arrive, buy more and put it aside, whoever is hungry will eat."

When Pang Guanglong and Qiao Chenzha were ordering together, Luo Pingwen's wife Chen Jiali brought her daughter Luo Xuehan to identify the corpse.

Yan Lan signaled Pang Guanglong and Qiao Chen to continue, walked to their mother and daughter, and led them to the morgue.

After Su Xing placed Luo Pingwen's body, he left the morgue. Yan Lan was still leaning against the wall of the corridor as in the morning, staring at the mother and daughter inside the room expressionlessly. Su Xing came out of the morgue Afterwards, she quietly stood beside Yan Lan.

Yan Lan took out the cigarette case from his pocket, tapped lightly on the back of the other hand, and a cigarette popped out. This is the precision that can only be practiced by an old smoker.

Su Xing said softly: "Captain Yan, smoking is prohibited in the building."

"I'll just smell it." Yan Lan put the cigarette case back into his pocket with his left hand, put the cigarette under his nose with his right hand, and smelled it gently for a while, then took the cigarette in his hand and twirled it a few times, and said, " You're pretty calm."

"Ok?"

Yan Lan: "The interns brought by Mr. Wang before saw the family members who came to identify the corpses, and they would feel uncomfortable for a while. You met twice a day, and it didn't seem to be affected much."

"I will help them find the murderer." Su Xing's words were endless, feeling like he was answering Yan Lan, but it didn't seem to have much to do with what Yan Lan said.

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in Yan Lan's heart. He felt that there should be many stories about Su Xing.But before she had time to think about it, Chen Jiali and her daughter walked out of the room.Yan Lan put the cigarette back into his pocket, walked up to Chen Jiali's mother and daughter, and said, "Ms. Chen, I have to trouble you and your daughter to keep it for a while. Our technicians need to collect your fingerprints and hair. I need to know something about you."

Chen Jiali nodded and said, "We cooperate with the police in handling the case, but my daughter is underage, so I have to be present when you are questioning me."

"That's natural." Yan Lan said, "You two go to rest first, we'll talk later."

The policewoman accompanied Chen Jiali's mother and daughter to the inquiry room. Yan Lan turned around and said to Su Xing, "Come and collect samples."

"Okay, I'll take things over here after I finish packing."

Ten minutes later, Yan Lan walked into the inquiry room.

Chen Jiali is quite a decent woman. Between the two roles of "grieving wife" and "strong mother", she chose the latter without hesitation, which also made the inquiry go very smoothly.While comforting her daughter, she talked about Luo Pingwen as calmly as possible.

According to Chen Jiali's narration, Luo Pingwen is a very good husband, at least he is more competent than most men of the same age.He changed his daughter's diapers and fed her milk, and he was not absent from every critical moment in her daughter's life.He is so careful that he can remember the menstrual period of his daughter and wife, and will prepare sanitary napkins and painkillers for them in advance.He remembers every important anniversary and arranges the family's life with a sense of ritual.The family travels once a year, and takes family portraits every year on the wedding anniversary and daughter's birthday. In addition to the anniversary and birthday, his wife and daughter will also receive gifts from him every year on big and small festivals.

If Yan Lan hadn't had the news brought back by Pang Guanglong and Qiao Chen, he might have thought that Luo Pingwen was a good person.

Yan Lan didn't interrupt Chen Jiali, but asked after she finished talking about her and Luo Pingwen: "Do you know your husband's reputation among teachers and students at school?"

"Pingwen... is a good man." Chen Jiali lowered her head and repeated, "A good man."

When a person deliberately repeats a certain thing, there are roughly two situations: one is that this thing is very important.The second is that he wants to cover up another thing, and the covered up thing is often the opposite of what is said.

Chen Jiali's subconscious repetition of "good guy" just proves that Luo Pingwen is not as perfect as she said, and Chen Jiali is covering up a real Luo Pingwen.

Yan Lan has seen too many people like Chen Jiali. They adhere to the so-called traditional concepts such as "family ugliness should not be publicized" and "the dead are the greatest". Subconsciously, they will automatically beautify the dead, and even cover up their lives for those people evil deeds.This is not to say that the "Chen Jialis" agree with those behaviors in life, but they are unconsciously trapped in the "names before and after life" and can no longer make neutral judgments.

Yan Lan whispered a few words to the policewoman beside her, and the policewoman got up and led Luo Xuehan out of the interrogation room.

"I asked my colleagues to take your daughter away first." Yan Lan put his hands on his chest and looked directly at Chen Jiali, "Is there anything else you can't let your daughter know, you can say it now."

Chen Jiali was silent for about 5 minutes, then shook her head: "No. My husband is a good man, I hope you can catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Yan Lan leaned back on the back of the chair, twirled a pen in her hand, and pulled up the family seemingly casually: "Luo Xuehan is a sophomore at the beginning of school, right? The college entrance examination is going to be in a year, do you have any thoughts?" What university did you go to?"

Chen Jiali clasped her hands together, but her expression didn't change. She just replied, "She can go to any school she wants, as long as she can pass the exam. We have no requirements for her, we only hope that she will be happy."

Yan Lan let out a "huh" and said, "I hope she will meet good teachers in the future."

Chen Jiali suddenly said excitedly: "My husband is a good teacher!"

However, Yan Lan didn't seem to feel Chen Jiali's mood swings. He stood up, opened the door of the inquiry room, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. You can leave after signing. We will contact you again if there are other matters. , you don’t want to go home in the near future, we can’t rule out the possibility of your home being the first scene for the time being.”

Chen Jiali stood up numbly, walked to the desk and signed, and then left the inquiry room.

Yan Lan returned to the office area with the transcript of the inquiry, just in time to bump into Su Xing, and when Su Xing saw him, he said, "Team Yan, among the sets of fingerprints extracted from Luo Pingwen's home, Luo Xuehan and Chen Jiali have been compared. Others There are still ten sets of fingerprints that do not match, should we compare them with the database?"

Yan Lan thought for a while and asked, "Have other family members collected information?"

Su Xing: "His father passed away, and his elder brother lives in his hometown with his mother. He hasn't been to this city for nearly a year. Chen Jiali's parents and family members are also not in this city. The fingerprints of his colleagues and friends collected before did not match successfully."

"Go to the warehouse." Yan Lan added, "Go to the warehouse for comparison on your side first, and wait for Bai and the others to come back to see if there is any progress."

"Okay." Su Xing turned around and was about to go back to the forensic room, Yan Lan stopped him and said, "Fatty and the others have ordered food, you take some back to the forensic room, and give it to Mr. Wang and the others."

"Oh... good. Thank you Captain Yan."

Su walked to the big pile of takeaway bags. Seeing him coming, Qiao Chen directly picked up six bags and piled them into his arms, saying, "Boss treats you, eat as much as you want, and come get more if you don't have enough!"

Yan Lan glanced at it and said, "You two have been messing around for a long time and you ordered this bunch of fast food?"

Qiao Chen patted Pang Guanglong who was burying his head in eating the burger, and said, "Look! Let me tell you, you will definitely be disgusted if you order fast food."

Pang Guanglong chewed on the hamburger, and said vaguely: "Isn't this... fast food is convenient! Besides, I'll save some money for the boss!"

"Does he need you to save money?" Qiao Chen muttered, and stuffed two bottles of iced Coke into Su Xing's hand, "Old Wang's favorite, take it back quickly."

"Thank you Captain Yan, thank you Deputy Qiao." Su Xing returned to the forensic room with the pile of food in his arms.

Yan Lan wasn't very hungry, so he casually took a cup of iced coffee and walked back to the office.Qiao Chen had already put his mobile phone back on the desk. He picked up the mobile phone and opened WeChat, and found a new friend request.

[Su Muzhe]: Captain Yan, I am Su Xing.

Su Muzhe?Young people are quite artistic.Yan Lan approved his friend request, and immediately received a transfer of 100 yuan.

[? 】Yan Lan didn't realize what Su Xing meant.

Su Xing: [dinner money [grin]]

Yan Lan didn't order, but just typed back: [I treat you]

Su Xing: [I'm sorry to let the leader spend money, Team Yan will take it~]

Yan Lan's hand wavered on the transfer interface, and finally clicked back, and he typed a line to go back [I'll welcome you]

Su Xing typed for a full minute, and finally sent a message [Thank you, Team Yan! 】

Young people, you can have your own tone when you send a WeChat message.

Yan Lan casually clicked on Su Xing's profile picture. The profile picture was a Q version of a forensic doctor - a police uniform shirt with a white coat, a police cap and a mask, holding a scalpel in his right hand.

Yan Lan then swiped his circle of friends a few times. The content of Su Xing's circle of friends was very simple, and he only posted one in a few months, and they were all written or forwarded to the official account.The most recent photo was wearing a bachelor's uniform and holding a graduation certificate at the school gate, and the accompanying text was only the simple three words "graduated".Yan Lan didn't scroll down any further, put the phone aside and continued working.

Two days, three dead, a lot of social connections, endless monitoring and transcripts.After four hours of sleep in the afternoon, he had to make up for the four hours of work.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Huan and Bai Ze returned to the police station.

"I'm starving to death! Is there anything to eat? Anything!" Lin Huan started looking around for food as soon as he entered the office.

Qiao Chen smiled and said, "You two hurry up and wash your hands. The food is on your table. If it gets cold, go to the pantry and turn it in the microwave."

Lin Huan quickly rushed into the bathroom to wash his hands, then threw himself on the table, took out the burger and took a bite.Pang Guanglong said from the side: "You can scare a group of people to death with your eating. After all, you are a girl. Can you pay attention!"

Lin Huan glared at Pang Guanglong, and said, "Treat us like men when we work, and treat us like women when we eat. It's not such a good thing! Don't look at it if you don't like it!"

"Okay!" Pang Guanglong stood up, "Miss, this is being stimulated again. What did you find?"

"The road to research." After Lin Huan said these four words, he took another bite of the hamburger, and Pang Guanglong couldn't help shaking. He felt that Lin Huan probably regarded the hamburger as an enemy.

Qiao Chen frowned and said, "What year is it? Why is this still happening?"

"Does it have something to do with the age?" Lin Huan pointed at Qiao Chen and Pang Guanglong and said, "You men!"

Pang Guanglong took three steps back and said, "Miss! Can we shoot indiscriminately? I'm not that kind of person."

Lin Huan finished a hamburger in a hurry, took another sip of Coke, and said, "Fatty, don't run away! I have collected fingerprints and hairs in my bag, take them to Mr. Wang for me."

Although Lin Huan was unforgiving in his mouth, he was absolutely impeccable in his work.She took Bai Ze around the University of Science and Technology, inquired about some news with her friendly face, and then went to the leader on duty to identify herself and ask for cooperation.But within four hours, the records, fingerprints, and hair samples were all obtained.Even the students who went home on vacation said they would return to school as soon as possible to cooperate with the investigation.

Lin Huan's side is making rapid progress, but the monitoring aspect is still stagnant.The surveillance in the Arrow Sea area has been checked several times, but the corpse suddenly appeared on the surveillance.However, there is no monitoring inside the HKUST campus, and there is no monitoring at all where the body was found.As for the monitoring near the south moat, there is no effective information at all.
