Chapter 38 The Murderer Appears

Liang Ye turned the steering wheel and chose the direction leading to City B at the high-speed fork.

The crime took place not in city B, but in a certain hotel in the rest area next to the expressway on the way to city B.

Beijing North is a big city, and City B is only more than 100 kilometers away from Beijing North. There is an endless stream of vehicles between the two cities every day, and the traffic volume is huge.Affected by urban radiation and traffic flow, the rest areas of this highway are much more luxurious than those in other places.The rest area is very large, separated by several small streets and alleys, and there is also a large supermarket. The crime occurred in the hotel behind these streets.

Liang Ye parked the car, turned to Xie Li and said, "Well... I'll go up to see what's going on, and I'll take you back later."

Xie Li glanced at Liang Ye expressionlessly.He couldn't get a taxi on the highway, so he seemed to have no choice.Originally, he wanted to use him to get rid of Lu Qiming's stalking, but now that he got here out of nowhere, he can't blame others...

Xie Li took off his seat belt, tugged on his suit and followed Liang Ye out of the car.

"You go, I'll find some food nearby." He was not interested in the crime scene that Liang Ye was talking about, let alone he was really hungry.He lost his appetite for dinner and just focused on drinking, and spent another night in a toss, and now he followed this criminal policeman to the highway, and if he didn't find something to eat, he was afraid that he would faint from hunger if he couldn't make it back to the hotel.

Liang Ye glanced at him and nodded: "OK."

Xie Li seldom wears a suit at ordinary times, and it is too much for him to walk around in this suit all day today. He tugged at his sleeves awkwardly, and has already begun to have serious personal emotions towards suits.

Uncomfortable on the face.

The highway rest stops in big cities are different. The lights are still brightly lit late at night, and the doors of various restaurants are open.Xie Li stood on the street looking around, thinking about which supper stall to go to, when a coat was suddenly stuffed into his hand.

"It's in the car, it's not worn, you can change it if you need it."

Before Xie Li could respond, Liang Ye walked towards the hotel surrounded by cordon without looking back.

Probably because he was afraid that if he gave him one more look, that person would reject him for thousands of miles.

·

"Brother Liang, you are here!" Zeng Yu from the third group greeted him from the room.

"Thank you." Liang Ye patted him on the shoulder to show his sympathy.

The criminal police were doing tiring and dirty work. After they learned of Li Qiang's whereabouts from Liu Chengshan, Xiao Zeng immediately led a team all the way from the north of Beijing to trace here. It was hard to find Li Qiang's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, someone found it. , but died.

"It's not hard work, life is hard!" Zeng Yu lowered his face and pretended to be pitiful, and was about to throw himself on Brother Liang, but Liang Ye quickly dodged it.

"Go away, don't get in the way." Liang Ye looked disgusted, "Tell me what's going on."

"I went to the traffic police department to get the surveillance video tonight, and followed Li Qiang's escape route all the way to this place. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered this door, I found him dead on the bed. There was an empty bottle of sleeping pills beside the bed, and Several pills fell on the ground, and the preliminary judgment is that he died of an overdose of sleeping pills."

Liang Ye walked towards the corpse while listening.The scene of the crime was a standard double room. Li Qiang's body lay quietly on the bed by the window, while the other bed was clean and tidy, even the mattress hadn't been touched.

"Why did he book a double room when he fled alone?" Zeng Yu wondered.

Liang Ye looked back at Zeng Yu, and took the flashlight from his hand: "How do you know he's alone?"

The police officers of the survey team were searching other places in the house with flashlights. Liang Ye put on gloves and knelt down in front of the corpse.

Li Qiang's body still had residual body temperature, but he had already lost his breathing and heartbeat.The complexion on the surface of the corpse was very bad, it was the ferociousness that had struggled before death.Liang Ye frowned, lifted the sleeves and trouser legs of the corpse, and four red marks appeared on the wrists and ankles.

"This, this, this..." Zeng Yu tremblingly pointed at the red color on the body, which was obviously a sign of being bound.

"Your team's trace inspection is too rough, give me tweezers." Liang Ye lay on the ground, carefully picked up a small handful of soil from the edge of the bedside table and put it into a plastic bag, "Take it back."

"It's a shoe print!"

"Well, the shoe prints are different from Li Qiang's soles, and they are probably left by the murderer."

Zeng Yu's eyes widened, and he almost missed the key evidence due to his carelessness!

On the bedside table were some post-it notes, a pen, and an empty bottle of sleeping pills. The faint bedside lamp was on, but it didn't illuminate much.

"The limbs of the corpse showed signs of binding. The murderer tied Li Qiang's limbs to the bed, and then forced him to take a large amount of sleeping pills." Zeng Yu rested his chin and began to reason on his own. "The fact that the bottle is empty proves that the murderer did not want to keep alive."

"How are you sure it's sleeping pills?" Liang Ye raised his eyebrows, picked up the bottle and sniffed it, there was a strange smell.

"Isn't there a big word 'sleeping pills' written on the bottle? Besides, a few fell on the ground, and we put them away just now." Zeng Yu shook the bag containing a few sleeping pills in his hand.

"The sleeping pills may be a cover, and the real deadly thing is still in his stomach." Liang Ye threw the bottle to him: "A decisive and straightforward murderer is not so careless as to deliberately expose the deadly drug to the police. The bottle was also taken back for testing, and compared with the contents of Li Qiang's stomach, sometimes what you see may not be true."

"Then why did the murderer ... tie him up like this? It's too perverted!" Zeng Yu followed behind Liang Ye's butt thoughtfully, and he shuddered at the thought of this strange way of tying him up.

"Maybe he had other plans, but he hasn't had time to implement them yet."

"what?"

"What time did you arrive?" Liang Ye walked to the window and pushed it out. Opposite was the roof of a supermarket two floors higher than this one.

"We arrived half an hour earlier than you. Brother Liang...did you find anything?" Zeng Yu fumbled and followed behind. The team leaders of the three groups were older, and they were not so enthusiastic about field work. Zeng Yu followed He couldn't learn much from around him, and he usually envied Chen Xiaofeng and Dodo, who followed Liang Ye, such an excellent and young criminal policeman, so whenever he had the opportunity, he would ask Liang Ye for advice.

The shops at the highway rest stop are basically open 24 hours a day. The luminous posters and light signs of the opposite supermarket are quietly flashing colorful colors in the night. The murder case here does not affect the business on the opposite side in the slightest.

Liang Ye stood by the bed, condescendingly examining the corpse in front of him.Perhaps not long ago, the murderer stood where he was standing now, calmly watching Li Qiang die.

"The sleeping pills prescribed by the hospital all have fixed ingredients. Under normal circumstances, it takes a certain amount and a certain period of time to take sleeping pills before death. This small bottle is not enough for twenty pills. It is impossible to kill in a short time. Other reasons..." With years of criminal investigation experience, Liang Ye had a basic guess.

He stood in this room, and the image of Li Qiang struggling to die in front of the murderer appeared in his mind. The murderer watched all this indifferently, without any hesitation.Li Qiang's sleeping position was unnatural, and one could tell at a glance that he was hastily put on after death, but his head was half sideways, facing the window.Liang Ye turned around suddenly, just in time to see the roof of the opposite supermarket from the window.

"Maybe it's on the opposite side. Someone is watching all of this. Li Qiang saw the person on the opposite side with a terrified and unbelievable expression before he died. The three of them may know each other." Liang Ye crossed his arms and thought about these three people "immediately ask someone to go to the roof of the opposite building to have a look and adjust the monitoring."

"Received!" Zeng Yu turned around and called a few auxiliary police officers to the opposite supermarket to find clues.

As soon as the auxiliary policemen went out, they heard Liang Ye muttering to himself from the room: "What a person sees in a dying state may not be real, and there may not be someone on the other side..." Several people trembled, Thinking about whether to take back the foot that has been stepped forward.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, and Zeng Yu took a sharp breath. Not only him, but also several other criminal policemen present couldn't help rubbing their arms.After listening to Liang Ye's reasoning, none of them didn't feel terrified.

Zeng Yu looked back at the traces of the corpse's limbs: "That's not right, Brother Liang, where did the rope come from and where did it go?"

"He brought it, and he took it away." Liang Ye poked his head out of the hotel window and saw the deep alley below the four-story building, and there were a few meows.

At this time, Liang Ye noticed that a few strands of hemp rope were stuck on the window frame at hand.Suddenly Mao Sai suddenly realized, Liang Ye stepped onto the window sill with one foot, and made a posture of jumping down: "The length of the shoe print is about 26 cm. The average ratio of human footprints to height is 1:7. The murderer's height is about 176 to 180. , weighing about 60 kilograms, thin and vigorous, aged between 22 and 27. He may have entered the hotel under the guise of a maintenance worker and cleaner. The time is urgent. Shortly before you opened the door, he used The hemp rope jumped out of this window!"

Zeng Yu's eyes widened, and he rushed forward to stop Liang Ye who was about to jump out of the window: "Brother Liang, what are you doing! Don't jump off the building!"

"Give it up! I'm going to arrest someone! Now let the doctor come up to carry the corpse, make the battle bigger, the murderer is probably still lingering nearby, let the brothers remember the characteristics of the murderer, and arrest him if he sees it!"

"Oh! Received!" As soon as Zeng Yu let go, his brother Liang jumped to the window edge of the next floor with a bang, and looked down twice, Liang Ye's vigorous figure had already landed on the ground of the first floor.

Zeng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "He's a ruthless person."

After wandering around, Xie Li found a fish meal shop and sat down, ordered a bowl of golden soup fish meal.

He himself is not a picky eater, but he often has no appetite. If he is not so hungry that he can't walk, he probably can last until he wakes up tomorrow morning before eating.

When he came to eat fish meal, he only stepped in because when he passed by, he saw the smoky and hot soup in the kitchen from the outside, full of smoke.

"Here comes, handsome guy, your golden soup fish meal." The boss held the fish meal in front of Xie Li.

The disposable chopsticks were broken into two, Xie Li said: "Thank you."

"Come here, it's also a golden soup fish meal." The boss sent the fish meal to the table opposite Xie Li, and chatted with others with a smile, "Are you doing maintenance so late?"

Hearing this, the man took off his maintenance clothes and stuffed them into his backpack: "The hotel in front has repaired the water pipes."

The boss didn't care what he answered, so he just asked casually, so the answer was very sloppy and perfunctory: "It's hard work, hard work, eat while it's hot."

The boss returned to the back kitchen, and there were only two customers left in the small restaurant. They sat across a table, not too far away, and the two of them ate very gracefully, and they were very quiet during the meal.Xie Li didn't have the habit of observing others, but the hands facing him eating noodles across a table caught his attention, those hands - looked extraordinarily clean.

—not like the hands of a repairman.

But Xie Li only took a cursory glance, and soon he focused on the fish powder in front of him.

The bottom of the golden soup fish powder soup is golden and golden, and there are still a lot of fresh and tender fish floating in the soup, which looks very appetizing.Xie Li picked up the fish meal and took a few sips, and took another sip of the soup. The heat entered his stomach, and he felt much more comfortable.He ate slowly, quietly enjoying his first meal of the night.It never occurred to him that the first tasty meal after coming to Beijing North would be in a small restaurant.

The street outside the restaurant suddenly sounded thunderous sirens, causing the owner of the back kitchen to come out with a towel to look around. The originally quiet and comfortable eating environment was destroyed, Xie Li couldn't help frowning.

"Hey, someone is dead." The boss muttered something after watching the excitement, and when he found out that there were still guests in the room, he quickly changed his words: "It's okay, it's nothing serious, you two take your time."

Before coming, Xie Li had already guessed that something was going to happen, otherwise Liang Ye wouldn't have rushed over without stopping.He works in the hospital all the year round, sometimes he can see several people who are pushed away covered with white cloth, which can be regarded as being indifferent to life and death. He is not interested in this kind of inauspicious bustle, and continues with a blank expression. Eat your own powder.

However, the police were already at the scene before Liang Ye came, so why didn't they make any noise at that time, but only now?

Most of the time, Xie Li is indifferent to what happens around him. Although he has doubts in his heart, he just thinks about it casually in his heart and gives up, and will not get to the bottom of it.

Once many things are investigated, they will not be as peaceful and beautiful as they appear on the surface. Xie Li will not meddle in his own business.

The other person sitting in the restaurant didn't seem to be paying attention to eating.The repairman put down the chopsticks when he heard the siren, picked up the black backpack and carried it on his shoulder, then got up and walked out of the restaurant.

Just at this time, someone pushed the door and entered, the visitor was in a hurry, the moment the door was opened, a lot of cold wind poured into the room, blowing the hair of the handsome guy Xie, at that time Xie Li was holding a handful of powder into his mouth, slightly As soon as Zhang's mouth was filled with fresh and tender fish powder, his hair covered his eyes.

... His eyes were indifferent, and he slowly raised his head.

"Yo! Thank you doctor!"

Xie Li: ...

I just want to have a quiet meal...

Liang Ye closed the door of the restaurant with his hands behind his back. While speaking, he kept his eyes on Dr. Xie: "I just said that we are destined. No matter where you go, I can meet you. Do you think we have a good heart?"

The aloof Doctor Xie didn't want to talk to him, he lowered his head with a dark face and silently sucked the powder from his mouth into his mouth.

At this moment, another maintenance worker in the house who was about to leave was in a hurry because Liang Ye blocked his way.

"Please let me go." The maintenance worker said coldly.

Liang Ye was still blocking the door, he laughed and said, "Should I say no?"

The maintenance worker took two steps back vigilantly, and tightly shook the backpack in his hand: "Who are you!"

Liang Ye sneered, "Successor of socialism?"

Liang Ye kicked the man on the spot and kicked the man a few meters away. For a while, the tables and chairs in the restaurant were flying, and when a stool was about to fly to Xie Li, Liang Ye kicked him to the ground again.

The situation changed so fast that Xie Li obviously hadn't reacted yet.Holding a large bowl in his hand, with a pinch of rice noodles in his mouth, he was trying to calm down.

Liang Ye looked back at him: "A Li, didn't you scare me?"

The title "A Li"...has been called by no one for a long time.Xie Li was startled for a moment, and stared blankly at the person in front of him.

Officer Liang, who is fond of playing handsome, loosened his shoulder muscles, and smiled at Xie Li: "Don't worry, you sit and continue eating, I promise it won't hurt you."

Xie Li sat without moving, still immersed in the long-lost call. He looked at Liang Ye in front of him and thought to himself that even the stinky and shameless personality was a bit similar...but his reason quickly returned, and he denied himself. ridiculous idea.

Because that person died a long time ago.

Liang Ye guessed right, the maintenance worker was really strong enough to fight and resist the fall. He stood up instantly after being kicked away just now. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Liang Ye. The two quickly wrestled together. Gong is not like a reckless man, his moves are very rational, but his moves are all deadly, suppressing Liang Ye's moves in a short time.

During the fight between the two, Xie Li quickly picked up the big bowl and stood in the corner. Sure enough, the moment he left his seat, the table at that position was smashed to pieces by the two of them.

Suddenly, the maintenance worker took out a small knife from nowhere, quickly stepped back and grabbed Xie Li's arm, holding him in front of him.

In fact, Xie Li was a few centimeters taller than him, but he looked thinner, so the maintenance worker grabbed the soft persimmon and squeezed it.

The point of the knife pierced the skin of Xie Li's neck, and cut a hole instantly. The blood flowed down and stained the collar of his white shirt. Xie Li turned his head away in pain, but was quickly turned back.

The maintenance worker who caught the hostage suddenly became hardened, and became arrogant in front of the criminal police: "Don't move! Otherwise, I will kill him!"

Liang Ye looked at the red color on Xie Li's neck, and his complexion instantly became extremely ugly.
