Chapter 118 Going to the Blue Lake Again
Then in the Blue Lake District, Captain Pan of the Serious Case Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau seemed to be a little closer than last time. As expected, he was once familiar with the second time, and only by frequent visits can a stronger relationship be established.

Although Lu Beicen had a general idea of ​​the case to be interviewed this time, after listening to Captain Pan's detailed introduction, he really had to say with emotion: "There is no coincidence without a book."

The place where the deceased was found was on a small street adjacent to a main road in the Blue Lake District. The street was not wide and there were shops on both sides.It was a couple who opened a breakfast shop who found the deceased. When they opened the shop at four o'clock in the morning, the deceased collapsed at the door of the adjacent shop.

The adjoining store was a former grocery store, but is now vacant because the owner has changed locations.

At four o'clock in the morning, even the cleaners hadn't come out on the street yet. The two couples saw a person lying there. The street light was not very bright. When the flashlight shone on them, there was a pool of blood underneath. call the police.

After the police arrived, it was confirmed that the person was dead and the body was cold.

The deceased was a young man about 20 years old, with a thin body, and the fatal wound was in the abdomen. After the forensic autopsy, it was found that he had stabbed the spleen with a knife and died of massive hemorrhage.

The murder weapon was also not at the scene of the crime. According to analysis, the murderer took it away immediately after stabbing the deceased.

The deceased did not have an ID card on him, nor did he have anything that could prove his identity, only a courier receipt and ten yuan in change.

To determine the identity of the deceased, the police can only investigate the courier receipt, but because it is a receipt kept by the sender, the handwriting on the receipt is very blurry, and the recipient can vaguely see the long writing. , but I can’t see the specific name and address clearly. As for the sender, I just wrote a piece of paper and left a phone number, which is also very vague.

Soon, the police found the detailed information on this receipt from the courier site. The recipient's address was a town under the jurisdiction of another county in Huxia City, not far from the Blue Lake District. The recipient's name was Zhang Dagui, and his phone number was also I don't know if it's a typo or what's going on, but the number I called was empty.

The sender didn't leave an address, the letter should be a surname left by the sender, and as for the sender's phone number, it was an empty number.

The recipient's phone number may have been written wrongly, but the sender's phone number was also wrongly written, which made the police have to suspect that the sender did it on purpose.

In any case, the police first sent two investigators to the receiving address to conduct an investigation.

According to the clues, the police quickly found the recipient named Zhang Dagui, who was an old man over sixty years old.

The old man Zhang said that the courier was sent by his grandson Zhang Xiaolong. Because of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, he needs to take a Chinese patent medicine made of ginkgo for a long time. They don’t sell it in the county, only in the prescription in Huxia City. Only when it is sold, Zhang Xiaolong will send him a few bottles back every once in a while.

According to the situation told by the old man Zhang, the police learned that Zhang Xiaolong is 19 years old this year. He is the most typical rural left-behind child. His parents went out to work together to earn money since he was very young. When he was in his teens, his parents divorced. He grew up with his grandparents. He was good at school when he was a child. After junior high school, he often played truant with some nearby children who were also left-behind children. After half a year in junior high school, he was expelled from school for fighting.

Since then, Zhang Xiaolong has basically been away from home.At the beginning, they said they were going to work outside, and later they said they were going to learn crafts outside, but the elderly couldn't understand what they did, let alone control them.It has been four or five years. Although I have never taken money from my family, I have never asked my family for money.

Zhang Xiaolong may not be doing very well in other things, but he is still very filial to the two old men. Last time, the old man Zhang always said he had a headache, and Zhang Xiaolong had to take him to the big hospital in Huxia for an examination before he was diagnosed.

Later, Zhang Xiaolong usually sent him some medicines regularly, but the interval between this time and the last one was relatively long.It used to be sent once every two or three months. This time it should have been more than half a year, and the old people have also been for more than half a year. That is, since the Spring Festival, they have not seen their grandson, nor have they received his medicine. It has been a long time. They couldn't even get through the phone, this was recently, about a week or two ago, Zhang Xiaolong called them back.

As for Zhang Xiaolong’s phone number on the courier slip, after confirmation by the old man, the recipient’s phone number was written with the last number 6 looking like a 0, which is a clerical error, and the sender’s phone number was Zhang Xiaolong’s in the city before. A phone number I used at that time is now down.

The old man does not know Zhang Xiaolong's new phone number. The last time he called back, he used a landline phone. The police searched the old man's mobile phone for a long time and found the number to call. Telephone.

The old man looked nervously at the police officer who went to investigate, and asked Zhang Xiaolong if something had happened.The police officer looked at the creases on the faces of the two old people, their gray hair, and their deformed hands from a lifetime of heavy labor. They didn't know how to answer for a moment. Should they identify the corpse?Firstly, I couldn't bear it, and secondly, I was worried that the two old people would not be able to bear the stimulation anymore, so I just asked them for Zhang Xiaolong's father's phone number, and after a few words of comfort, I returned to the Blue Lake.

They contacted Zhang Xiaolong's father, Zhang Lin, and the next day, he came back from the south and identified the body, confirming that it was his son Zhang Xiaolong.This is a somewhat dull middle-aged man. After divorce, he remarried with a fellow worker in the factory where he worked together. He has only one son, Zhang Xiaolong.

Zhang Lin wiped his tears with a blank expression, no expression could be seen on his face.

On the day Lu Beicen went to interview, it was the criminal police team who invited Zhang Lin to go through some relevant procedures. Facing the camera, he still had a dull expression, not knowing what he was thinking, but there was endless regret in his words: "My child When we were young, our parents were not around him, we didn't manage well, we were always with some dubious people in the society, but later we couldn't control him anymore, I was always afraid that something would happen to him, but I didn't expect..."

It can be seen that Zhang Lin still cares about Zhang Xiaolong's son, but he really doesn't know how to be a father. The communication between him and Zhang Xiaolong has been like this since a long time ago. It is rare to make two or three phone calls a year. The two have long developed the habit of not communicating or contacting each other.So Zhang Lin knew almost nothing about Zhang Xiaolong's situation.

Basically, investigating Zhang Xiaolong's surrounding relations is of no use. The police can only hope to investigate Zhang Xiaolong's traces from the surveillance probes to find some useful clues.

After confirmation by the technical investigators, the place where Zhang Xiaolong was found was the scene of the crime, but because the street was relatively less crowded, the street lights were not very bright at night, and there were no surveillance cameras nearby, so the area where the crime occurred was a surveillance blind spot.The nearby surveillance cameras didn't take very clear pictures, so the police from the Intelligence Research and Judgment Brigade had to work hard to find a vague figure around the corner of the street.

The policemen followed the figure and started chasing where Zhang Xiaolong came from.

After this pursuit, he first discovered that Zhang Xiaolong had passed by Binjiang Avenue on the way here.

One side of Binjiang Avenue is the river, and the other side is a dense residential area. There are parking spaces on both sides of the avenue for private cars.

I don't know if Zhang Xiaolong has other occupations, but there must be one occupation that is commonly known as "pull the car door".The so-called pulling the car door means passing along a road and pulling the car door casually. If someone fails to close the car door due to negligence, he will open the car door and steal the property in the car.

At that time, there was no such service as mobile phone payment. Most people would habitually put some change in the car to pay for parking fees and other unexpected needs. If someone got drunk and left his wallet in the car , They are equivalent to making a small fortune. Anyway, after one night, they can get dozens of yuan for a day's expenses, which is basically achievable.

According to the usual practice, such people are usually used to lingering in Internet cafes, and Zhang Xiaolong is no exception. He stayed in an Internet cafe until around twelve o'clock at night before sweeping the streets in the middle of the night.

After checking the records and monitoring of the Internet cafe, the police found that he entered the Internet cafe at 08:30 in the evening. No one in the Internet cafe noticed that he had contact with anyone. He was alone when he came, and he was also alone when he left. People, but the network administrator said that he has basically been like this for about the past week, and he has never seen him before.

The police continued to trace Zhang Xiaolong's whereabouts before entering the Internet cafe, and found that he came out of a machinery factory at about [-] o'clock in the evening, and then walked to the Internet cafe.

After visiting and investigating in the machinery factory, the police learned that Zhang Xiaolong rented a one-bedroom, one-living room in the staff dormitory of the factory about a week ago. According to the information provided by the landlord, when Zhang Xiaolong rented the house He casually said that he was working in a coastal city in the south and had just returned.

As for the rest of the situation, it is completely unknown.

Based on these circumstances, the police re-investigated Zhang Xiaolong’s whereabouts through monitoring and found that this was indeed the case. This week, his life was relatively fixed, sleeping at home during the day, going to the Internet cafe until the early morning at night, and then began to "go to work". Because his class has to sweep the streets, the time is often relatively long, and occasionally he will meet other "colleagues", basically they are first come, first served, and there is no conflict. After all, they are all illegal and criminal acts, and they don't want to Make noise and enter the police station.

The investigation of the case has basically returned to the original point. Apart from confirming the identity of the victim, there is almost nothing else. The investigating police are very anxious, and no one knows what to do next.

In desperation, the police had no choice but to continue to expand the scope of surveillance and investigation around the area where the incident occurred, looking for surveillance videos of this area during this time period, hoping to find something.

When the police saw the blurred eyes and almost pierced the screen, they finally found something.

　Ask for tickets, ask for collections!
