Mystery Tracker 3

"Every unsolved case, our police will continue to investigate."

Shen Yan's words were sharp, but Tao Tao's face did not change at all after hearing it. He even smiled and praised: "I have heard that the Chinese police are very persistent in handling cases, and now it seems that their reputation is really well-deserved."

There was no flaw in Tao Tao's attitude, and Shen Yan was too lazy to argue with him, so he cut to the point: "Professor Tao, as a surgeon, I believe the police must have asked you for your alibi?"

"Yes." Tao Tao replied without any hesitation, "My ex-wife can prove that I have no time to commit crimes. Moreover, I was preparing to go abroad for further studies at the time, and many people can also prove that I have no time to commit crimes and throw away the body."

"Ex-wife?" Shen Yan grasped the term.Tao Tao nodded and said, "My ex-wife and I divorced many years ago. My current wife is not the wife of that year."

"Then where is your ex-wife now?"

"She went to the United States with me back then. But after arriving in the United States, we had a lot of disagreements, so we broke up peacefully. After that, I left the United States, and she settled in the United States."

"What's her name? Where does she live now?" Shen Yan asked.They have also investigated what Tao Tao just said before.And Tao Tao's ex-wife is likely to be an important witness to determine whether Tao Tao was the murderer in the case.

"Her name is Du Xinying. When I was studying, I went to New York. But since we divorced, I have no contact with her, so I don't know where she is now."

This answer is really unsatisfactory.But if the other party doesn't say anything, it's useless to ask.So Shen Yan continued to ask: "You just said that there are still people who can testify for you, who are they?"

"There were my tutors from the medical school back then, and a few classmates who were preparing for advanced studies together."

"Please tell me their names."

"My tutor's name is Chen Zhaoji, but he passed away a few years ago. As for my classmates at that time, I can only remember the names of two people. One is Hu Yan and the other is Tong Lin. They were both with me at the time. We are preparing to apply to the United States together, but after so many years, I have not contacted them for a long time, so I don’t know if they are still in the United States.”

Again, what was said was equal to what was not said.Shen Yan was not annoyed, but asked more carefully: "Professor Tao, you went to the United States at the beginning, so why did you settle in South Korea later?"

Hearing this question, Tao Tao smiled: "This is a long story. In short, as a Chinese in the United States, there are still many constraints, and there are many coincidences in the middle. This is probably what the ancients said 'God willing'."

"So do you have any relatives in China? Will you come back to China often to visit?"

"My parents have passed away, and my wife and I have settled abroad for many years, so we have no contact with distant relatives in China. However, because of the nature of work, I do return to China from time to time to participate in some meetings and exchanges, and occasionally He may be invited back to perform some more difficult operations."

"Then have you ever returned to China this year?"

Hearing this question, Tao Tao's eyes seemed to move a bit, but he still answered cooperatively: "I came back twice in March and April, both at the invitation of domestic colleagues for some case exchanges. ..."

At this point, the door of the conference room was opened, and a young woman came out from the lecture hall. Seeing Tao Tao, the girl hurried over and whispered a few words to Tao Tao in Korean.

Tao Tao nodded, then looked at Shen Yan, and asked politely: "Officer Shen, my assistant told me that a meeting has started inside. Have you finished asking your questions? If so, I want to go back."

Looking at the conversation between Tao Tao and Shen Yan, the young woman blinked her eyes, wondering if she understood.Shen Yan didn't care about the young woman's reaction, and continued the topic just now: "I want to know the specific itinerary of your previous two visits to China and the people you met."

Hearing this, Tao Tao took a deep look at Shen Yan.Shen Yan looked back calmly, waiting for Tao Tao's answer.After a while, Tao Tao smiled as if compromising, and said "forget it", and then he gave instructions to the female assistant next to him, and the young woman nodded quickly, and then hurried back to the venue.

"I asked my assistant to pick up my itinerary for those days." Tao Tao explained.Soon, the young woman came back with a young man of similar age. The latter came to Tao Tao with a notebook and said in Chinese, "Teacher, what itinerary do you want to check?"

"You show these two my itineraries for my last two visits to China."

The boy glanced at Shen Yan and the two, as if he couldn't figure out the current situation, but he still opened his notebook and said: "Mr. Joint consultation with a patient. On April 3th, at the invitation of Rose Plastic Surgery in S City, I participated in and performed a plastic surgery..."

"As for the people I met," Tao Tao interjected, "basically they are the staff of the hospital. You can go to these two places and ask, and they will tell you who I have met." He took out a business card from his suit pocket, "This is my business card. If you have any questions, you can contact me later. But now I really want to go in and listen to Professor Bloom's report."

"Okay." Shen Yan accepted the business card and carefully put it in his notebook, "Thank you for your cooperation."

Tao Tao re-entered the venue with two assistants, while Shen Yan went downstairs along the stairs.When they came to the lobby on the first floor, Cheng Jinsong and Jiang Ruiheng greeted them.

"How about it?"

"He answered every question, and his attitude was very cooperative. But he didn't explain anything substantive, and," Shen Yan looked at Cheng Jinsong at this point, "he realized that you were testing him just now."

"Really? It seems that this person is not stupid." Cheng Jinsong raised his eyebrows.It wasn't that they hadn't considered this possibility before. After all, it was a bit of a coincidence that someone appeared with a photo that looked like the victim, and the police came to question him.However, they decided to do this after discussion, because they just wanted to see how Tao Tao would react when he realized that the police suspected him.And Tao Tao's performance didn't seem to satisfy a few people.

"Ordinary people would feel very nervous and aggrieved if the police suspected him of being a murderer for no reason, or they would feel very angry. But this Tao Tao was very strange. He didn't have these expressions at all, but acted abnormally calm. What's more, what he gave All the witnesses presented are either living abroad or have passed away, which is also a 'coincidence'."

As veteran detectives who have worked for many years, the other two knew the meaning of Shen Yan's words as soon as they heard them.Cheng Jinsong smiled: "It's true that there is no way to ask people who have passed away, but it's not so difficult to do it abroad. Now that the Internet is so developed, even people in Antarctica can still get in touch."

"And we don't need to bother the local police," Jiang Ruiheng continued. "Foreign Chinese generally have a circle. As long as we can contact a person in the circle, we can find a way to contact the person we are talking to. Then you will interrogate The entire process is recorded, even if it goes to court in the future, it will have legal effect."

Shen Yan nodded: "So I think we may have really discovered this time. After we go back, we will investigate these people and see if we can make a bigger breakthrough."

While the three were discussing the next action plan, the meeting was still going on in the hotel.Professor Tao Tao carefully listened to the reports of every speaker present at the meeting, and had academic exchanges with many people, and he seemed to be completely unaffected by what happened just now.Only at the end of the morning meeting, Tao Tao's student and assistant suddenly discovered that Professor Tao had lost his coat.

"I remember it was on this chair before, why did it disappear?" The young man pointed to Tao Tao's seat with a flustered expression, he looked at the young woman and asked in Korean, "Didn't you see it? "

"I went to the hospital to confirm tomorrow's itinerary, but I'm not here." The young woman also looked anxious, "There should be a spare USB flash drive in the professor's pocket, and a lot of the professor's materials are in it. If it is really lost, the professor will be very upset..."

When the two were in a hurry, a voice suddenly sounded behind them: "What's the matter with you?" They both turned their heads at the same time, only to see Tao Tao walking over.The two knew they couldn't hide it, so they had to tell the teacher the truth.Tao Tao seemed a little surprised when he heard it, but he didn't say anything serious, instead he said: "Someone probably took it by mistake, it's okay to look for it again." At this point, he pointed to the camera in the corner of the room, "I see that their hotel has surveillance. You can ask the hotel's security department to see if they can check the surveillance video."

"That's right!" The two young men immediately cheered up and rushed to contact the staff.When the hotel heard that something was lost, they took it very seriously, and quickly took the three of them to the surveillance room to check the surveillance video.

"Professor Tao, when was the last time you had an impression of the coat?" the staff asked Tao Tao, "When did we start looking?"

"I remember I was wearing the jacket during the break in the meeting, and I didn't remember much after that, so let's start watching from there."

"Ok."

As the staff spoke, they called up the monitoring of the corresponding time period, and soon found the video of Tao Tao at that time.In the picture, Tao Tao seemed to be communicating with a person. That person was looking for something in his briefcase with his head down.

"You're still wearing your coat at this time," said the staff member.

"En." Tao Tao responded, his eyes swept over himself and Cheng Jinsong in the center of the screen, and finally landed on a corner - two or three meters away from the two, the policeman named Shen Yan was watching intently. to my side.

really……

Over there, the staff had already quickly scrolled through the screen, and Cheng Jinsong on the screen quickly left him, and then walked out of a door, and soon Shen Yan also walked out of that door.Afterwards, the screen switched to the corridor outside. Although the whereabouts of all the personnel were much faster under the double-speed camera, Tao Tao still noticed that Shen Yan, Cheng Jinsong and another man left the hotel together.

"Teacher, I found the clothes!" Just then, a voice came from the door.I saw the male assistant walking in quickly with a suit jacket.Tao Tao turned his head when he heard the sound, but before he could speak, the female assistant called out overjoyed: "That's it!! Where did you find it, Wu?!"

Although everyone couldn't understand the girl's Korean, but looking at her expression, it was obvious that she had found the right one.Immediately, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.The male assistant came in with a suit and explained as he walked: "I don't think this thing should be thrown away, so I asked the staff at the venue. Then a cleaner said that he had seen it in the bathroom, probably because the teacher took off his clothes and hung it there. Forgot about it afterwards."

"It should be, I was too careless." Tao Tao smiled apologetically, and then looked at the staff, "It was a misunderstanding, sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, it should be, it should be." The staff hurriedly replied, "Check if there is anything missing."

"No." Tao Tao took out the USB flash drive from his suit pocket.Then he looked at the staff who had just watched the surveillance again, and stretched out his hand: "Thank you just now."

"It's okay, it should be." The staff also hurriedly extended their hands to return the salute.

Tao Tao smiled and shook hands with the staff. At the moment when no one noticed, his gaze swept to the monitoring screen behind him, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes hidden behind the lens.
