I'm not a super cop

Chapter 257 Time Tree

Back in the criminal investigation building, the huge office area was empty, and He Xiaoli and other teammates who were on standby did not know where to go.

After asking the back office lady who was traveling around with all kinds of information, I realized that the technical team had located the information on Chen Hao's cell phone, and He Xiaoli took someone to find the owner of the cell phone.

Pushing the door of the audio-visual inspection room open a crack, Xiao Ran looked inside. Several long rows of high-definition monitors were playing huge and varied surveillance images. Looking at the bloodshot eyes of his fellow colleagues, it was obvious that they were all A sleepless night.

Going downstairs to hand over Ruan He's saliva swab and fingerprints to the forensic department, Xiao Ran specially instructed to compare Ruan He's fingerprints with DNA in the system to see if they can be compared with other unsolved cases Number.

Although rationality told Xiao Ran that it was impossible for Ruan He to directly attack Wang Xiaomei and Zhang Hao, but deep down in Xiao Ran's heart, he always felt that Ruan He had something to do with the case.

"How is your visit going, have you made any major breakthroughs?"

Yu Yu put a label on a test tube, shook his head again, and asked himself: "I feel like you haven't made much progress. It stands to reason that the corpse and its surroundings are usually the place where the murderer left the most information, but from our point of view, the murderer You are hard to find."

"It's hard to find, but it doesn't mean you can't find it." Xiao Ran's tone was firm, he paused, and asked, "Did Wang Xiaomei's family come to identify the body?"

"Come on, when she saw the body, her mother fainted on the spot. When she came out of the funeral home, the whole family seemed to have lost their souls."

Yu Yu said calmly: "We persuaded them to mourn, and Wang Xiaomei's relatives also said that we were cruel. Seeing her daughter die so badly, I am not sad at all..."

Xiao Ran patted Yu Yu's shoulder, and didn't say much, after all, everyone knew it in their hearts.

When he was in the police academy, Xiao Ran and his classmates went to the field to study with a criminal police team from the Beijing Bureau.

At the beginning, Xiao Ran's classmate also raised this question, asking an old criminal policeman why he could face death so calmly, did he become numb because he had handled too many cases?
At that time, the old criminal police did not respond to them. It was not until the end of the observation and observation that the old criminal police told them that it was not numbness, but a kind of self-protection to protect the psychological problems of the investigators: "We have worked for a long time. We stayed at the scene of the crime all the time, the cordon was pulled, there were crowds outside, and evils that ordinary people would not encounter inside, and we, who were face to face with the murder case, had to try our best to maintain a sense of normalcy.”

Coming out of the forensic department, Xiao Ran did not go to He Xiaoli and the others, but took Li Fangfang to Cangyuan Community.

Li Fangfang looked at Xiao Ran, who was thinking about the Sapindantia chinensis tree, and said doubtfully, "Captain Shao has just led people through here, and he has asked all the necessary questions. What else do you need to investigate?"

"When I was at Zhang Hao's residence, I discussed with Team Lei that the murderer buried Zhang Hao's face here, as if to pay homage to something."

Xiao Ran patted the thick Sapinberry tree, lowered his head slightly, and took a closer look at the faint heart-shaped scars on the bark, as well as some blurred handwriting, "In spring, there must be many children Come and play under this tree.—but it must have been spring a long time ago."

"That's necessary. The century-old tree has experienced countless childhoods." Li Fangfang said, and followed Xiao Ran out.

As soon as the two walked out of the old forest, they were stopped by some aunts on the side of the road, "Those two boys, come here..."

Xiao Ran and Li Fangfang walked over, and Li Fangfang asked, "Auntie, is there something wrong with us?"

"This guy doesn't look like a bad guy at first glance, don't we think too much?"

An aunt wearing a red volunteer cap pointed at Xiao Ran and said, "Do you have a girlfriend, young man? If you don't, do you want to find one? If you do, do you mind having one more..."

"Oh, don't talk about it, just your niece, if you don't have anything, don't pull it out and sell it!"

An aunt wearing white labor protection gloves pushed the red hat aunt, and then asked: "What are you two doing, what are you doing running into this old forest? I think you two have been in for a while, what are you doing?" thing?"

"Oh, we are the police, handling the case." Li Fangfang took out his ID and showed it to several people.

Aunt Red Hat suddenly realized: "We are from the neighborhood committee here, and we will help you keep an eye on suspicious people here. I saw you two running into the woods after getting out of the car. I thought you two were murderers!"

"Thank you, thank you so much, auntie, for your hard work." Li Fangfang said hastily.

"Isn't this just checked yesterday? What's going on today? Has the murderer been found?" asked the white-gloved aunt.

Li Fangfang said: "Hurry up, hurry up, I can't run away from him."

"Then you have to hurry up. We haven't had this incident in the past few decades. Now in the neighborhood around us, no one dares to go out at night, and there is also a little daughter-in-law who lives alone at home. These days, people dare not live at home. Panicked." The red hat aunt said solemnly.

Xiao Ran squatted down and asked, "A few aunts have lived here in Cangyuan for a long time, right?"

"I've lived here for more than 20 years. At that time, this place was still a tube building. I just got married. In the blink of an eye, I have a grandson." The red hat aunt sighed, and patted the white glove aunt. In a short time, this is a thorough old Cangyuan man."

The white-gloved aunt said: "I grew up here since I was a child."

"That's great. Auntie, do you know the Sapinberry tree?" Xiao Ran raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the big tree.

The white-gloved aunt nodded and said: "How can I not know, that tree has been around since I was a child, and it must have been more than a hundred years ago. At that time, this place was still in the suburbs, and Jinshan Avenue hadn't been repaired..."

When it came to history, the white-gloved aunt talked on and on for ten minutes. Xiao Ran neither answered nor interrupted. He only waited for the aunt to finish speaking, and asked directly: "Then you know that in recent years, your community The girl, or whose girlfriend, likes to play under that tree, and then dies of illness or accident?—not too old, and if she is still alive, she is not more than 30 years old now."

Several aunts from the neighborhood committee discussed with each other for a while, and finally the white-gloved aunt shook her head and said, "That's a lot. There are more than 1 people in our community, and there are also tens of thousands of people in the surrounding communities. There are always a few people who die every year." , Unexpectedly, there are some things that we don’t know because something happened because we moved out, can’t tell, can’t tell!”

"Then tell me as much as you know, and we will investigate later."

Xiao Ran took out a pen and paper, and he knew that it was unlikely to start from this aspect. If he really wanted to make a statistic, he would not be able to make a statistic in a few months, but since he had a direction, he had to give it a try. Maybe he was lucky. Well, catch up?

"Then I have to think about it. I remember that the youngest daughter of the Huang family was hanged in the woods a few years ago when she failed the college entrance examination..."
