Mystery Tracker 3

Hu Qizhi's house.

"I really didn't expect that we had dinner together last night, but when we woke up this morning, he was no longer there..." Hu Qizhi, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed to have not fully recovered from the news of his friend's death.

"Based on the hotel's surveillance video and the time of the deceased's death, he probably died shortly after leaving the hotel." Shen Yan said, "You were the last person to see him."

"Officer, you don't think I killed him, do you?" Hu Qizhi's IQ hasn't dropped too much after the hangover, "I really didn't do it!"

"What did you do after dinner with him last night?"

"I went home straight away. I didn't enter the house until 11 o'clock, and then I washed and went to bed. My wife can testify to me!"

This statement is consistent with the monitoring, so Shen Yan didn't get too entangled in this issue, and asked directly: "Then recall, did you encounter anything special when you were eating at the restaurant last night? For example, did you Got into an altercation with someone, or has anyone been staring at you."

"Probably not..." Hu Qizhi recalled for a moment, then shook his head, "The two of us were eating and chatting last night. We didn't have any conflicts with anyone, and we didn't feel that anyone was staring at us..."

"As far as you know, does Lu Xiangyang have any enemies?"

"This... probably not?" Hu Qizhi's answer was still uncertain, "To be honest, I'm not in the same department as him, but as far as I know, everyone has a good impression of him. I haven't heard of anyone talking to him. bad relationship."

"Which department is he in?"

"He is in the equipment center," Hu Qizhi replied, "All the photographic equipment and equipment of our unit are in their equipment center. Anyone who has interview tasks can go to them to get them, and send them back when they are used up. This job says It’s not too big to say it’s not too small. Because equipment is consumables, it’s inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another after being used for a long time. If this kind of thing falls on the cameras or reporters, wages will be deducted. Old Lu He has a good technique, and he usually fixes minor problems directly, which can be regarded as saving everyone a lot of money. So everyone generally likes him, and I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him.”

"And what about his private life?"

"This... I don't really understand." Hu Qizhi shook his head, "I remember that he seems to be divorced, and the child seems to be with his ex-wife. But that was a few years ago, does he have a date or something? I don't know anymore."

Shen Yan wrote down this information and continued to ask: "Then what did you guys talk about last night?"

"It's just nonsense." Hu Qizhi said, seeing Shen Yan's serious face waiting for him to continue, he explained, "Really, it's just ordinary chat."

"Tell me." Shen Yan didn't mean to let go.

Seeing Shen Yan's appearance, Hu Qizhi had no choice but to surrender: "It's really nothing, just complaining about the unit. We say it is a provincial TV station, but you know the police officer. The Internet has developed so rapidly in recent years. People watching TV are It is getting less and less. But our income mainly comes from advertising revenue. And if the ratings are low, the advertising revenue will naturally decrease. If the advertising revenue decreases, our money will also decrease. So now the ratings are our The baton. The focus of our daily meetings is how to increase the ratings. Not long ago, the ratings of a few of our programs dropped a bit, and the leaders are not satisfied with this. Everyone in our groups this month Not to mention that all the bonuses have been deducted, they also said that if the ratings cannot be increased within three months, the show will be discontinued. You said that we have worked so hard to save up these few programs, and suddenly they will be withdrawn. Changing to a new program, can everyone feel happy!..."

After Hu Qizhi started, he couldn't hold back, and complained for a long time.After listening to his rambling, Shen Yan asked, "Lu Xiangyang is also complaining about this?"

"No, he's different from me. He's in charge of the equipment, so he doesn't have to be as tired as me. But relatively speaking, they have less oil and water, and they won't feel better than me."

"Then does he have any specific people to complain about?"

"This..." Hu Qizhi recalled for a while, and said, "He seemed to say that the on-site director of a show didn't understand the machine, so he insisted on using the big crane to shoot a scene, but the crane was broken. There are two cameras I don’t understand the new machine, and as a result, some shots were not shot well and they blamed the equipment.” Seeing Shen Yan write down these one by one, Hu Qizhi added a little uneasy, “But such things are common, and It was all dealt with later, I don’t think it’s necessary to kill people just because of this…”

Shen Yan nodded, wrote this down, and then continued to ask: "You just said that he was divorced, how long has he been divorced?"

"I don't know the exact time, probably...at least three years ago." Hu Qizhi recalled. He basically didn’t talk about family matters. Later, he either ate three meals in the cafeteria or invited people out to restaurants, plus some other clues, and everyone guessed whether he was divorced. But people don’t talk about this kind of thing, let’s It’s not easy to ask directly. It wasn’t until we drank together after overtime that he told me clearly that he was divorced.”

"Then does he have a new partner after the divorce?"

"I'm not sure about this, anyway, I haven't seen him with any woman."

"Then are his ex-wife and children in this city?"

"It seems that he is not there. I remember one time when I asked him for a drink, he said no, and he would go out to see the children. It seems that he and his ex-wife had a serious dispute, and his ex-wife didn't seem to let him see the children very much."

"Do you know where his ex-wife and children are now?"

"I really don't know much about this. It shouldn't be far away, and he can go and return on the same day. But I really don't know where it is."

"Then what relatives does he have in this city?"

"It seems to be gone." Hu Qizhi shook his head, "I remember that his parents have passed away, and he has an older sister, but the relationship between the two of them is not very good, it seems that they haven't moved around for many years."

"Where does Lu Xiangyang live?"

"It's the Luyuan Community in the north, but I don't know which one, I haven't been there."

Shen Yan wrote down the information, and then asked: "Did Lu Xiangyang bring his mobile phone when you were having dinner last night?"

"Yes." Hu Qizhi nodded, "He seems to be selling goods online or flipping stocks or something. Anyway, he never leaves his mobile phone."

——So it is really possible that the dead man's mobile phone was taken by the murderer.Thinking of this, Shen Yan immediately said to Hu Qizhi: "Do you have his mobile phone number? Give him a call."

Hu Qizhi didn't know why, but he still took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. Unsurprisingly, the other party had turned off his phone.

"Do you know the brand and model of Lu Xiangyang's mobile phone?"

"It should be an XX brand mobile phone. I don't know the exact model."

"What color is that phone?"

"This... I don't have much impression." Hu Qizhi thought about it for a while, but still shook his head, "He usually wears a black mobile phone case. But his mobile phone case is quite distinctive. I remember the back It's a 'get rich overnight' pattern."

However, the mobile phone case cannot be an indicator of finding, after all, as long as the murderer has a little brains, he will definitely remove it and throw it away.So Shen Yan said: "Well, tell me his phone number..."

In the middle of speaking, Shen Yan's cell phone rang suddenly.He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly.He took two steps to the side and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Bureau Xiao."

"Shen Yan," Xiao Changhe's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I heard that a murder case was discovered on your side?"

Even through the phone, Shen Yan could hear Xiao Changhe's serious tone.Shen Yan nodded: "The forensic doctor just checked the scene and preliminarily determined that it should be homicide."

After Shen Yan finished speaking, Xiao Changhe on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.Then he spoke again: "How about it, who is the murderer, have you locked down the suspect now?"

"Not yet." Shen Yan said truthfully, "The crime took place in a relatively remote place, and no witnesses have been found for the time being, and the surveillance has not captured the suspect. However, we have found a few more important clues. Discover."

"Yeah." Xiao Changhe nodded, before explaining, "Just now I received a call from the city, saying that many people on the Internet were saying that a homicide occurred in the northern district of the city, and that the police had gone. The city wants to know Let me tell you about the situation. As you know, the economic forum will be held tomorrow, and there is a sudden murder case. If it is not handled well, it will have a great impact on the image of our city..."

"I understand." Shen Yan said.As early as when Xiao Changhe asked the first sentence, he guessed this situation.But the occurrence of murder cases does not decrease according to their subjective wishes, so Shen Yan can only say: "Ju Xiao, we will do our best to solve the case."

"The opening ceremony of the conference will be at 14:[-] tomorrow afternoon. You'd better solve the case before the opening ceremony." Xiao Changhe said, probably knowing that the requirements are very strict, so he immediately added, "If you need manpower, just tell me. I will let all departments fully cooperate with you."

"There are some problems with the monitoring of the crime site, and we need technical personnel to deal with it; in addition, we need to send additional manpower to visit."

"Jin Song and Shen Hao were called out by the organizing committee of the forum, and they will not be able to come back for the time being. How about this, you send people from the sub-bureau. I will call the sub-bureau now and ask them to mobilize their strength to solve this case with all their strength. "

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Liyuan came over and asked in a low voice, "Did Director Xiao come to inquire about the progress?"

"Director Xiao said that there is already news about the case on the Internet, and he hopes we can solve the case before the opening ceremony of the forum."

Hearing this sentence, Fang Liyuan frowned subconsciously. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time—it is now 12:38 noon, and the opening ceremony will start at 14:26 tomorrow afternoon. That is to say, the time left for them to solve the case The time is less than [-] hours.

Shen Yan noticed Fang Liyuan's movements, and comforted him: "Ju Xiao is just a suggestion, not a death order. Besides, we are not completely without direction now." Shen Yan said, pointing to Hu Qizhi beside him, "I think Next, let's split up. I'll take people to the TV station, and you go to the deceased's house to have a look. In a while, people from the branch office will come to support. At that time, you can arrange for them to visit more around the crime scene to see if they can find any witnesses. .”

"Okay." Fang Liyuan nodded, and then remembered something, "By the way, aren't Jin Song and Shen Hao coming back?"

"Xiao Bureau said that they were called by the organizing committee of the conference to leave, and they will not be able to return for the time being." Shen Yan tried his best to suppress the loss in his heart, pretending to smile nonchalantly, "It's okay, there are colleagues from the branch bureau to support, manpower It should be enough. I'll give you Brother Cui and Tang Qing, and Mo Han will just follow me."

"Your TV station has a lot of things to do. Let Brother Cui go. After all, he has more experience. You can also bring Tang Qing. The TV station probably has a lot of surveillance, and she can help."

Shen Yan thought about it, and then nodded: "Alright, when the technicians from the sub-bureau come, I'll ask them to go over to support you. Contact me in time if you need anything."

"it is good."

So, a group of people divided into two groups, one team went to Luyuan Community to find the deceased's home, and the other team went to the deceased's work unit - the provincial TV station.

As a provincial capital city, City S actually has two TV stations, the provincial and the municipal.Both TV stations were located in the city center earlier, but later the development of the provincial station was obviously better than that of the city station, so they moved to the outskirts of the city as a whole and built a new park.The new park was built in a grand style. There is a huge provincial Taiwan logo on the top of the main building, which can be seen from a long distance.

Near the entrance of the platform, there are more cars and people.Some men and women in brightly colored clothes were marching towards the door, and they seemed to be heading for the TV station.Qin Kai looked puzzled: "Is there any activity on the TV station or something, why are there so many people?"

Seeing that the car was getting more and more difficult to drive, several people simply parked the car on the side of the road and walked towards the door on foot.Qin Kai chatted with a few young people next to him very familiarly, and finally figured out that there was a star variety show to be recorded on the TV station today, and these people came to be the audience to meet the stars.

"I heard that this program was supposed to be recorded in two days, but because the Economic Forum will be held soon, and everyone will have to serve the meeting report, so the recording has been brought forward." Qin Kai and Shen Yan said.

Several people followed the flow of people to the entrance of the TV station.A zig-zag fence has been placed at the entrance. A large number of spectators are queuing along the fence to wait for the ticket inspection. A few security guards are maintaining order. Seeing Shen Yan and the others seem to be trying to force their way in, a security guard immediately came over: "Queue up Line up! Go there and line up!"

"We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Shen Yan showed his police officer ID, "There is a case that needs to be investigated."
