chasing the dark

Chapter 78 What Happened
After Niu Jialin's cough passed, Ye Zhanzhou raised his chin at the little brown teddy: "What's its name?"

"Juanjuan." Niu Jialin replied.

Hearing his name being called, Little Teddy barked twice, wagging his pompom-like tail non-stop.

"Juanjuan..." Ye Zhanzhou glanced at Niu Jialin's curly hair, and reached out to touch Juanjuan's back twice, "The name is quite appropriate. How old is it?"

"Almost eight months."

"Eight months will be an adult. Teddy is very active, so he has to walk several times a day?"

"Juanjuan is very obedient. He usually plays at home and takes a walk in the morning and evening."

Niu Jialin took a puff of cigarette, but this time he didn't choke again.

"Then do you usually walk it around here?"

"Juanjuan is raised by my girlfriend. She went on a trip with her family and let me stay here temporarily." Niu Jialin pulled off the dog leash and pulled Juanjuan at the root of the wall. Let's go, maybe somewhere."

"That is to say, did you wander here by accident today?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

As if recalling something bad, Niu Jialin nodded his head with an ugly face: "If I knew there was...that thing, I wouldn't go here even if I was killed!"

In view of the presence of a young girl, he was ashamed to speak too clearly.

Zhao Wei, who was standing aside, didn't care too much, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's just a piece of meat, there's nothing to be nervous about."

"Officer, when I think of that thing now, I feel... my ass hurts." The following words were almost squeezed out of his throat. Niu Jialin had a bitter expression on his face, and his knees unconsciously moved towards the middle. some.

"You are so funny! You have a rich imagination." Ye Zhanzhou chuckled, "How old are you?"

"22." Niu Jialin pressed the cigarette butt on the curb.

"School or work?"

"Just graduated and looking for a job."

"What building do you live in? Is it your own house or a rented house?"

"No. 17, unit [-], [-]. My hometown is out of town, and I don't want to go back, so I rented a house here."

After a few chats, Niu Jialin's mood eased.

Only then did Ye Zhanzhou get to the point again: "Now, can you tell me what happened?"

Niu Jialin took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice: "After dinner, I took Juanjuan downstairs. First I threw out the trash, and then I wandered in the yard casually. When I met a Erha, Juanjuan wanted to compete with others. I Fearing that it would suffer, I pulled the rope back and turned to a road."

"Here, that's where the road goes south, passing about five or six buildings, and turns around." He pointed in the direction of the intersection, and continued, "After turning the corner, we'll keep going this way. I haven’t been here before, and seeing no one there, I untied the dog leash and let Juicou run around.”

"I have nothing to do. I looked at my phone for a while. When I looked up again, I saw the curls arching and arching on the grass, as if I was pulling something. I ran over and picked it up."

Niu Jialin swallowed: "My girlfriend told me not to let Juanjuan pick up food from the outside to eat, for fear of spoiling it. I'm not sure if it ate it, so I just wanted to see what it was. ..."

Wiping his face, he said angrily: "It's getting dark, and I turned on the flashlight on my phone... I regret it now, if I don't go this way, it will be fine."

"Is there anyone else around here at that time?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

"I didn't pay attention." After thinking for a while, Niu Jialin shook his head, "I didn't seem to be. I was in a daze at the time, so I wanted to call the police. After I made the call, someone passed by, but I didn't dare to make a sound, so I held the scroll Roll on the opposite side and wait for the police to come."

The process was basically understood. After Niu Jialin signed the transcript and left his contact information, he was told that he could leave.

Maybe it was because of squatting for a long time that his legs were a little numb. He almost fell when he got up, but Ye Zhanzhou stretched out his hand to hold him steady.

"You're so young, you're really timid." Looking at the background where he staggered away, Zhao Wei shook his head.

On the other side of the scene, Ding Xuan, Zhao Lei and the auxiliary police officers from the other two teams also arrived.

The few of them ran to play some script killing right after get off work, and they all happened to be called by a phone call.It's just that it's a little far away, and it's a bit late.

Li Ji from the technical department also came and was looking for suspicious traces around with them.

The crowd of onlookers has gradually dispersed. On the one hand, there is nothing exciting to watch, and on the other hand, they are afraid that they will be suspected by the police if they stay here.

"It is preliminarily confirmed that it is human. I asked Xiaogu to put it away." Shen Peiqi had already taken off her mask and gloves, and stood on the side of the road with her hips crossed.

Li Ji came over and said: "It's definitely not the first scene, and there are footprints everywhere, there are no valuable traces."

Ye Zhanzhou looked around and asked Zhao Wei, "Is there surveillance around here?"

"There is the gate over there, but it can only be illuminated outside. This road..." Zhao Wei shook his head, "No."

"Where's the boiler room?"

"There's one at the gate of the courtyard, you can't shoot this side!" Gao Zijie took the words.

The boiler room is located in the northwest corner of the Qianjin community. Apart from a row of bungalows and a big chimney, there is also a large yard.

There is an iron gate facing the street on the north side of the community, which is a passage for transporting coal during the heating period.The east wall of the boiler room is built along the passage, and a large iron gate in the middle is the coal inlet.It was summer, and both doors were locked with chains.

Turn to the south, and there is a smaller door for people to enter and exit.

The monitoring that Gao Zijie mentioned is above this door.

Ye Zhanzhou glanced in that direction: "Regardless of whether you can take pictures or not, call out all the surveillance cameras that can be retrieved from these two places. Is there no one on duty in the boiler room?"

"It stands to reason that there should be a caller, but today I don't know why there is no one." Zhao Wei said while holding his mobile phone, "I'll call their boss right now."

While Ye Zhanzhou was going to Ding Xuan and the others, Gao Zijie approached Jiang Yu: "Why are you still intern?"

Jiang Yu was looking up at the surveillance probe at the door of the boiler room, and turned his head when he heard the words: "I'm in graduate school, and I have one year left to graduate."

Gao Zijie nodded knowingly: "Graduate study is good, no wonder you can enter the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the City Bureau. Eh? Is your deputy team usually like this?"

Jiang Yu glanced in Ye Zhanzhou's direction: "Almost, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Gao Zijie held the police cap in his hand and scratched his head.

Of course Jiang Yu knew what he was thinking, but he just felt that Ye Zhanzhou didn't look like a policeman, let alone a vice-captain of criminal investigation.

She smiled and said, "He's a nice guy, he doesn't put on airs, and he's nice to his subordinates."

"Oh, that's good." Gao Zijie breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, you can work easily, and you don't have to look at the face of the leader, which is very good."
