crime shadow [criminal investigation]

The city at [-] o'clock in the evening is not lively, and with the rain, the most traffic on the road is the taxi that takes the passengers home, but the neon lights never stop, putting on dazzling light shows one after another.

The black off-roader fell behind the police car, just in time for a red light, and parked at the intersection.Jiang Bei took advantage of this moment to light a cigarette, a cream-flavored pop-bead cigarette, which is not available in China, so he had to find a purchasing agent.The smell of smoke is not choking, and there is a faint smell of milk as the smoke permeates.

Jiang Nan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, bit the straw and slurped the empty milk carton.

The voice was disturbing, and Jiang Bei finally said the first sentence after getting into the car: "It's only been 5 days since you were looking for trouble last time."

What he meant was that Jiang Nan had to enter the palace again because he called the police.

"Last time they bullied the little girl," Jiang Jiang argued, "and I didn't do anything."

What he said was the truth, since he got rid of evil and returned to good faith, he didn't do anything, usually he would find a clean chair to lie down when the opponent swung his fist.It was like this last time, and he insisted that he was beaten into an internal injury. Enthusiastic citizens called the police. The local police station took him back to mediate and asked his family to pick him up.

Jiang Bei still remembers the surprised reaction of the grassroots policemen at the police station when they saw him. They didn't say anything and told him to take him back for education.

"I asked you to wait for me in the classroom. If you don't run on two legs, will you die? Last time it was a trouble, this time it is a murder case. No matter whether you are suspected or not, you have to go to the bureau for investigation."

The faint blue neon light reflected Jiang Bei's brows and eyes very coldly, even a little anxious.Ever since he brought home Jiangnan who had no parents, he experienced what it was like to be an old father in advance.But those who take it back by themselves, out of humanitarianism, are not easy to return.

"You were a major suspect in the serial murder case half a year ago. Although you didn't prosecute because of insufficient evidence, you are still supplementing the investigation, so can you calm down for a while..."

Jiang Nan tilted his head. From this angle, Jiang Bei's side face was not in the night. The light cut out his clean and neat outline, and a soft glow spread on his forehead and nose.

Seeing his lips opening and closing, Jiang Nan leaned forward and pressed them against him, biting like a cat.

The voices in the car stopped abruptly, and all the educational rhetoric was extinguished.Jiang Bei's breath was very hot, and Jiang Bei could feel it, and the smell of milk emanating from Jiang Nan's body seemed to slip into his neckline.

Jiangnan is always like this, talking and fighting when there is a disagreement.

"I didn't run around," Jiang Nan let go of him, rubbing the tip of his nose against Jiang Bei's, "I'm very good."

The car in the back honked the horn loudly, and the two looked together, only to see Lin An sticking his head out of the car window and yelling.

"Little bastard surnamed Jiang, the green light is on, are you fucking going or not!?"

-

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, the city bureau is brightly lit, the trace inspection and the forensic doctor are performing their duties, working overtime to get the test results out.The investigation brought back all the surveillance cameras around the crime scene. The situation was not optimistic. The visibility was very low in rainy days, and the murderer’s crime scene was well chosen. The surveillance cameras in the entire alley were all decorations, obviously stepped on in advance.

Jiang Bei changed into a clean police uniform. He just came out of the inquiry room and walked into the office quickly, saying: "The caller said that he saw a man in a black windbreaker and a black baseball cap appearing at the victim's place at 8:30 p.m. Under the training building, I stood there for about [-] minutes, during which time I kept looking into the training building, and inspected to see if any suspicious persons matching the appearance appeared near the crime scene."

Everyone knows who the caller was.That's the VVVIP suspect of the Municipal Bureau, a first-class bastard. Based on this alone, the authenticity of the clues provided needs to be verified. The ghost knows which of his words are true, but the boss said something, so he has to follow .

"Lin An," Jiang Bei turned his head and asked, "Have you contacted the victim's family?"

Lin An sat in the corner and sucked noodles. In the evening, the 5 yuan a barrel of braised beef noodles was the greatest comfort.He swallowed it whole, and wiped his mouth: "I got in touch, and said to come over later."

"Wait?"

Several hours have passed since the incident, and the family members of the victim have not shown up.The victim was killed at the gate of his own community. Anyone who had the heart could run downstairs in less than 10 minutes, but Wen Yu's family was different and kept pushing the time.

Lin An drank the noodle soup and burped hard: "The victim's family said that there is an old man who can't take care of himself at home and needs to be taken care of. The old man can only come here after being settled. Brother Jiang, you said that this family, the murderer It’s not for money or sex, so why? Could it be that he killed people indiscriminately, and randomly selected a little girl? I always feel that this case is a bit strange.”

"Murder," Jiang Bei flipped through the photos taken at the scene. The girl stood quietly in the rain with her eyes half closed, and the frozen raindrops became the background board. "The victim's body was too clean, his clothes were not messed up, and there was no obvious wound except for a blow wound on the back of his neck. If it were you, who wanted to smash someone to death with bricks, where would you hit them?"

Once reminded, Lin An's doubts were suddenly resolved: "Head! Most people will smash their heads!"

Slapping people in the face, hitting people on the head, and stabbing the stomach with a knife are almost the usual methods in criminal cases, except for a few perverts who like to play something special.

Jiang Bei said: "Cervical vertebra fractures generally do not cause death. The murderer can kill with one blow. He may be a repeat offender. At least he has medical knowledge or practice before. Wait for the autopsy results..."

Before the words were finished, the attendant in the communication room broke open the door of the Criminal Police Detachment's office with big bags and small bags, and said, "Captain Jiang, the takeaway you ordered has arrived."

When everyone heard the sound and looked at it, they shouted at the meal bag.The policemen who came tonight were all summoned temporarily, abandoning their wives and children to heat up the kang, and rushed here in the rain, expressing their misery in their hearts.At this moment, the leader sent warmth in the middle of the night, and everyone decided to treat Jiang Bei as a "hot kang head" for the time being.

"Hot Kangtou" said: "Eat and work in half an hour."

Lin An immediately flushed the toilet and scratched his throat, trying to dig out the instant noodles to make room for a big meal.

Although Jiang Bei won the title of "Flower of Gaoling" with an unsmiling iceberg face, it seems unreasonable, but there is one good thing, he is not like the leader of the next team who only knows how to draw big cakes, and every day he says he wants to bring his subordinates People go to eat good food, but the reality is that there are only pancakes, fried dough sticks and cold soy milk. In contrast, the criminal police team's stewed vegetables and stir-fries are simply Michelin three-star meals.

A group of old men divided up the takeout, and seeing a box of hot milk in a meal bag, they wisely didn't take it.Wang Zhipeng, the director of the trace inspection department next door, smelled the smell and came. He slapped the local support center's Mediterranean hairstyle and smiled on his face: "I heard that your meal has arrived, so I knew that Lao Jiang will definitely keep it for me, too. You're welcome!"

Wang Zhipeng was about to sit down and start eating, but before his hand touched the bag, Jiang Bei quickly took it away.Wang Zhipeng's smile froze on his face, and he plucked it out with a stern look: "What do you mean, the love is not for me, but for a certain brat?"

Jiang Bei explained without blushing: "Article 1 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that the normal diet of the person being questioned must be guaranteed."

"Stop looking for these high-sounding excuses and pay back the criminal procedure law. You are just making a fuss for others!"

Jiang Bei didn't care about Wang Zhipeng's babbling, and went straight to the inquiry room with his meal bag.Jiang Nan took a nap on the table, the door opening woke him up, he looked up with messy black hair, smiled knowingly when he saw who was coming, and called "A Bei" softly.

"Let's eat." Jiang Bei put the meal bag on the table and sat across from Jiangnan.

"The meal has been delivered. It seems that you want to keep me overnight?" Jiang Jiang has no appetite. "As an enthusiastic citizen, I just reported to the police. The police considered me a suspect in the serial murder case half a year ago, so all criminal I was involved in all the cases, right? I, Jiangnan, must have been responsible for the accident. If I killed someone, I would definitely pretend to be an accidental death. Wen Yu's death does not conform to my style of doing things."

"Finding your alibi will let you go," Jiang Bei asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Jiang Nan straightened his hair, and when he looked up again, his eyes filled with water, looking obedient and beautiful.He said, "Eat."

Oatmeal porridge and a few side dishes are all easy to digest at night, and they are still steaming.Jiang Nan broke open the disposable chopsticks, subconsciously handed them to Jiang Bei, suddenly thought that it was not in compliance with the rules, and gave up angrily: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that the man in the black windbreaker I mentioned earlier came to the training building once a few days ago. , standing in the same position. At that time, he took a taxi and left without standing for a while. I thought he was waiting for the bus until I saw him again tonight. Thinking about it this way, he might be checking if there is anyone he wants to find in the training building people."

Jiang Bei pushed back the stir-fried seasonal vegetables that Jiangnan had pushed away: "But there are more than just art students in the training building."

"There are too many people on that section of the road. The classroom of the dance class is closed, and the rest is the studio. Our class is on the second floor. There is a floor-to-ceiling glass window, and we can see it from the opposite road." Jiangnan finished his porridge and wiped it slowly. After cleaning his mouth, he said thank you to Jiang Bei.

"Sign this after eating." Jiang Bei handed him the paper and pen.

"What is this, an inquiry transcript?"

"Well, see if there is any problem with the printing, and sign if there is no problem."

Jiang Nan propped his chin on the cap of his pen, checked carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You printed it? When I asked, I clearly said 'miss you', and you missed it."

Jiang Bei frowned, and said helplessly, "Quickly sign."

"Oh." Jiangnan wrote two big characters, and habitually paused the tip of the pen when he finished, leaving a small black spot like a small tail.

Jiang Bei withdrew the transcript, and said: "The person in charge of the interview said that Wen Yu's social circle is very clean. It basically consists of home, school, and training classes. The adult males he can get in touch with are only male teachers. They all have alibi, and the man in black you mentioned is not in this ranks."

Hearing that Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows, he admired Jiang Bei's coordination ability and efficiency. It took only a short time to figure out the victim's social circle.It's no wonder that Jiang Bei has no women under his command. Few of them can stand up to a boss who treats women as men and men as animals.

"Teachers, classmates, school cleaners, relatives, etc., and even me, you look and check." Others are full of food and lust, Jiangnan is full of food and sleep, his chin is on the table, thick black eyelashes are slow Slowly falling, "But...Wen Yu's death is very strange, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Jiang Bei lowered his voice: "What's strange?"

"Let me think about it," Jiang Nan murmured, "Let me go before dawn, I have an appointment with a doctor."

The hot air of food accumulated in the inquiry room, which lasted for a long time.After speaking, Jiangnan tilted his head and let out a shallow and even breathing sound.He is a person who can sleep anytime and anywhere. In the words of the police from the Municipal Bureau, Jiangnan is like a homeless man. He can sleep in a corner where he can shelter from the wind and rain. There is no such thing as a bed. The sky is big and the earth is big. Everywhere is his habitat.

Jiang Bei sometimes thinks that if the appalling serial killing incident hadn't happened half a year ago, Jiang Nan wouldn't have been found by the police, so he must still be rolling in some quagmire now.

So what does Jiangnan look like now?

Like a stray cat that has no family and wants to run outside every day—Jiang Bei thought.
