Tiger Police

Chapter 433 She Can Ride a Bike
Hu Pingtao fell into deep thought again.

Suddenly, the phone rang, it was Zhou Changhao's number.

He looked very excited on the phone: "Boss, I have made a major discovery."

Hu Pingtao came to his senses immediately: "Do you have any clues?"

Zhou Changhao said "hmm" heavily on the phone: "I'm in the office, come back quickly."

"Okay." Hu Pingtao agreed, but couldn't hold back his curiosity: "What did you find?"

Zhou Changhao's volume is not loud, but the content has an absolute explosive effect.

"That guy Liao Cunxue lied. He must have deliberately deceived us—Gong Xinxia actually knows how to ride an electric bike, and his skills are very good."

……

Back at the institute, Zhou Changhao was already waiting for Hu Pingtao in the technical department.

Pointing to the surveillance video being played on the computer, he said seriously: "This is Cane Garden Road. Go straight to the north and you will find Yanhe Community. The total length of this road is more than 300 meters. You have to go to the commercial district in the south to have an intersection. Turn over and enter the Neon Road, and then go down to the Wetland Park."

As he spoke, he held the mouse, pressed pause, and the screen froze.

Hu Pingtao stared at the computer screen.

On the still picture is a woman riding on an electric scooter.She was wearing a pink sweater on the upper body, and blue-gray leggings underneath. The electric car under her crotch was silver-gray, and the "Beyond" logo on the front of the car was very conspicuous.

Zhou Changhao explained: "There are a lot of surveillance cameras installed on the sugarcane garden road. I found this from the traffic police. The images are very clear. Gong Xinxia is riding a car, and there are videos on the front and rear sections of the road. Well, the boss, you can see if you look at it." gone."

He clicked to play with the mouse.

Gong Xinxia drove along the Cane Garden Road from north to south.She rode the bike without any disorder, and even accelerated to overtake several cars in front of her.

The surveillance video was obtained from the traffic police, and there was also a speed record in the lower right corner of the screen—no less than [-] kilometers per hour.

No matter how you look at it, Gong Xinxia does not look like a novice who has just learned to ride an electric bike.

Zhou Changhao watched from the side and said: "This woman rides a bicycle more slickly than me, especially in the latter part. She is so fast that she almost hit the "Nissan" on the opposite side. Look, boss. Look, the Nissan was forced to stop by the brakes, and the driver must have been terrified. If he hadn't stepped on it cleverly, the two sides would have passed if they didn't hit each other."

The intersection on the video is just at the end of the green light, and the yellow light is already flashing, but Gong Xinxia speeds up and rushes over.The Nissan coming from the opposite side turned right normally, but she could only park in the middle of the road.Then the window fell down, revealing the angry driver.Judging by the shape of his mouth and facial expression, he was obviously yelling at the electric car that had gone away.

Hu Pingtao clasped his hands in front of his chest, thinking to himself: "This can explain why Liao Cunxue spent [-] yuan to buy a "Beyond" instead of an ordinary, cheap light electric car."

Zhou Changhao raised his head and asked, "His wife can ride a bicycle, why would he lie?"

Hu Pingtao glanced at him: "If we bring Liao Cunxue back for interrogation, do you think he will confess honestly?"

Zhou Changhao shook his head: "We don't have any evidence, and he won't admit what he says! Besides, just find any reason to evade. If Liao Cunxue insists that he doesn't know that Gong Xinxia can ride an electric car, on the other hand, say that Gong Xinxia lied to him. , we can't do anything!"

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "So this investigation can only be done by ourselves."

He told Zhou Changhao what happened in the park today.Zhou Changhao nodded frequently after hearing this: "Yes! There are no street lights, and the light is so dark, so why choose such a place to practice driving... You are lying!"

What Hu Pingtao thought of was another question.Pointing to the frozen picture on the computer screen, he said seriously: "Rewind the video and replay it from the beginning."

After watching the replay, he smiled and asked Zhou Changhao, "Do you see anything?"

Zhou Changhao pondered intently, shook his head, and urged repeatedly: "Don't be tricky, speak quickly."

Hu Pingtao said: "Come all the way from the north of Cane Garden Road, Gong Xinxia rides very fast. Although this road is located in the outskirts of the city, it connects residential areas and commercial areas, as well as the nearby wetland park. There are many relocations in this area. In the community, the road on the west side is still being repaired, so all the cars going north and south can only go here. Even after nine o'clock at night, there are still many pedestrians and vehicles."

"Look at the people next to Gong Xinxia who are also riding electric bicycles. They are all slower than her. She is very fast along the way, which can be described as lightning fast! Especially at the intersection, in order to rush past, she almost hit a car."

Zhou Changhao's eyes lit up immediately, and he understood what Hu Pingtao was thinking: "Yes! Why is she riding so fast?"

Hu Pingtao smiled: "When driving on the road, safety comes first. Do you still remember the stalk in "The Wandering Earth"? The driving was not standardized, and the relatives were crying. It was dark at night, and the lights were not bright, and the light was not good, so I rode so fast. Gong Xinxia in the end What do you want to do?"

Zhou Changhao was thoughtful: "In a hurry to hurry up, is she busy with something?"

"That's right, that's what I want to talk about." Hu Pingtao snapped his fingers, pointed to the computer screen, and said seriously: "Gong Xinxia's is turning at this intersection, and going in this direction is the Wetland Park. Of course, if On the night of the incident, her destination was not the park, but it was not impossible to continue along this road to other places. But it was so late at that time, and this road went further down to the third ring road, and after crossing the overpass, it was Get on the highway. Make a big circle, and Gong Xinxia will have to come back in the end."

Zhou Changhao knew it all: "In other words, Gong Xinxia chose the Wetland Park as her destination from the very beginning."

Hu Pingtao changed to a more comfortable standing position and continued to analyze: "When I was looking for electric vehicles in the Wetland Park, I found that the lights there were very dim. It is an open park, because of funding and the nature of the park. The lighting facilities are mainly concentrated in the square at the entrance of the park. Most of the lawn lamps are installed in the park, which are plugged into the ground to absorb solar energy during the day and operate at night. The brightness is low, and most of the installation locations are on the back of the landscape.”

Zhou Changhao nodded frequently: "When I watched the surveillance video before, I thought it was strange——Liao Cunxue clearly said that his wife can't ride an electric car, but the video shows how smooth Gong Xinxia rides! Also, It's so late, why is she going to the Wetland Park?"

Hu Pingtao smiled approvingly: "Yes! Why did she go to that place? If it's summer, it's fine, the temperature is high, and many people like to go outside at night to enjoy the cool. But it's winter now, according to the report issued by the Meteorological Bureau , The temperature didn’t even reach ten degrees Celsius last night. Gong Xinxia deliberately rode an electric bike to the lake...what on earth is she trying to do?”

Zhou Changhao became excited when he heard it.He rolled up the sleeves of his clothes and rubbed his hands: "Looking at it this way, Liao Cunxue must have lied... Boss, why don't I take a group of people to look for him now and dig clues from his mouth?"

"It's useless." Hu Pingtao shook his head: "I thought about this problem on the way back. Think about it, Liao Cunxue took the initiative to report the crime, instead of coming to the police station after we released the information on the deceased. It means that he was involved in this case. Even if it was not premeditated, at least part of the inside story is known. Without conclusive evidence, we can only detain him for 48 hours at most. If he bites him to death during this period and does not say a word, we will also take him He can't help it, maybe he will startle the snake."

"Boss, what do you mean, let's check in another direction first?" Zhou Changhao was very smart and understood.

Hu Pingtao nodded: "From what we know so far, there is at least half the probability that Gong Xinxia's death was accidental."

Zhou Changhao frowned and asked, "Accident? Why?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "I saw the scene in the Wetland Park today, and there were obvious scratches from electric vehicles on the hard ground. I guess Gong Xinxia might have passed by the lake on a bicycle, because the light was not good, so I couldn't see the road clearly. Carefully slide down the side slope, fall into the lake and drown."

"The on-site environment is very consistent with what I just said. It is also logical. The only shortcoming is that Gong Xinxia's body was found a little late. There were many people doing morning exercises in that place early in the morning, and the deceased was floating on the water. It caused a lot of people to watch, the scene was trampled everywhere, and the remaining traces were destroyed, and it is no longer possible to identify it through footprints."

Zhou Changhao lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "According to what you said, the possibility of homicide is also very high."

Hu Pingtao agrees with this point of view: "The reason why I didn't list this case as homicide at the first time is because Gong Xinxia's death was caused by drowning. Due to factors such as the depth of night, light, and panic, it is difficult to stand up when you accidentally fall into the water. Don’t underestimate the depth of the water of more than one meter. When you are struggling with fear, the chance of drowning is very high.”

"Panic...oh, no, boss, what you just said was fear." Zhou Changhao frowned and asked, "Why is Gong Xinxia afraid? What is she afraid of?"

"This is just my guess." Hu Pingtao calmly analyzed: "According to Liao Cunxue, Gong Xinxia bought this "Beyond" electric car to learn how to drive. Surveillance video shows that Gong Xinxia's driving skills are very good, so it leads to Two questions."

"First: Why did Gong Xinxia deceive Liao Cunxue?"

"This question can be extended: Liao Cunxue may know that Gong Xinxia can ride an electric bike, but why does he pretend not to know?"

"Secondly: The reason why I used the word "fear" was because I suddenly thought that Gong Xinxia might be hiding something from Liao Cunxue. I don't know what it is, but the wife ran to a remote place like the Wetland Park at night without telling her husband. Place, the main reason is nothing more than two kinds of money and feelings.”

Zhou Changhao said thoughtfully: "Then our next investigation direction is to find out why Gong Xinxia went to the Wetland Park?"

Hu Pingtao didn't know whether to say: "If it is a homicide, then there must be a motive. This is the basis of all investigations."

Zhou Changhao suddenly thought of another question: "Boss, do you think it was Liao Cunxue who killed Gong Xinxia, ​​and then pretended he didn't know anything, and deliberately reported the case to disturb our sight?"

"It's possible, but it's not very likely." Hu Pingtao thought for a moment and replied: "According to the transcript, Liao Cunxue watched TV that night and didn't go out to look for someone until after twelve o'clock. He had many witnesses during this time period. And along the way There is a surveillance camera at the gate of He Community, and Liao Cunxue’s entry and exit are recorded. He has many acquaintances in that community, even if he disguises himself, there is a high chance of being recognized, and he will not take such a risk.”

Zhou Changhao smiled and asked, "Why do you think you have already regarded Liao Cunxue as the number one suspect?"

Hu Pingtao shrugged his shoulders: "The only people directly involved in this case are Gong Xinxia and Liao Cunxue. I can only temporarily analyze him as a hypothetical target."

Just finished speaking, the phone rang.

It's Ding Jian's number.

His voice on the phone was a little tired: "The autopsy report is out, and I will pass it to you later. The time of death is what I told you before, around nine o'clock at night, and the error is not more than 10 minutes."

Hu Pingtao deliberately teased him: "So precise?"

Ding Jian replied proudly: "I have been in this business for a long time, and I have never made a mistake. If you don't believe me, after you die, I will give you a physical examination. Then I will take the autopsy report to the grave and burn it for you. , you can feel at ease down here, and you will be able to explain the problem after seeing Lord Yan."

"You boy, a dog can't spit out ivory." Hu Pingtao shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Speaking seriously, how did Gong Xinxia die?"

Ding Jian knew why he asked: "I can only say that you are thinking too much. The cause of death was drowning, without any external factors."

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked, "Are you sure she wasn't beaten? No wounds? No toxins in her body?"

"None of the things you said." Ding Jian said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "A very clean corpse, except that the skin on the surface of the body is a little swollen after being soaked in water for a long time, there is no abnormality in other aspects. The deceased has never been violated, and there are no old wounds on his body... Hehe, if you want to find clues from these aspects, I can only say that you are doomed to be useless."

Hu Pingtao frowned even deeper: "According to what you mean, do you also think that Gong Xinxia accidentally fell into the water and drowned?"

Ding Jian is very cunning: "I am a forensic doctor, I only believe what I see with my eyes, and the results of the test and analysis."

Hu Pingtao casually exchanged some pleasantries and hung up the phone.

Watching him pace back and forth in the room a few times, he slowly walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down.Zhou Changhao tentatively asked: "Boss, is this case still under investigation?"

When talking with Ding Jian just now, Hu Pingtao was on the speakerphone, and he could hear clearly beside him.

Hu Pingtao concentrated and remained silent.

Gong Xinxia drowned in the Wetland Park, accident and homicide are equally likely.
