Retracing the Police Path 1993

Chapter 369

Liu Pengcheng was a little annoyed when someone interrupted his train of thought, but he looked at his watch and it was time to start.I don't know if Xiao Xia can bring me any useful clues.

The place where I met Xiao Xia was found by Xiao Liu of the Mingzhou Criminal Investigation Detachment. It is called the Red Umbrella Cafe. It is said that this place is not far from Xiao Xia's home, so that Xiao Xia can go home early to rest after the talk.

Both Liu Pengcheng and Xiao Xia couldn't find the north when they arrived in Mingzhou, so it was Xiao Liu who drove the car. The Red Umbrella Cafe is really not close to the Municipal Bureau, and they drove for more than half an hour at night without a car. , After Xiao Liu parked the car in the parking lot, they saw Xiao Xia waiting at the door as soon as they got out of the car.

This coffee shop is not big, because at that time coffee and western food were popular, so even though it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, there were quite a lot of people, and there were also new guests.

This coffee shop should have the decoration style of a typical small western restaurant in the 90s. The walls are covered with landscape photos from all over the world, useless candlesticks are placed on the table, and there is a girl playing the piano on the table. Liu Pengcheng heard "" The Blue Danube".

A few people found their seats and sat down, and a waiter dressed like a western-style maid came over and asked them what to drink.

Liu Pengcheng took a look at their menu, asked a few people for their opinions, ordered three cups of coffee, and ordered a cup of milk and a sandwich for Xiao Xia.

The coffee came out soon, and Liu Pengcheng took a sip. It tasted good, authentic Nescafe instant coffee.

Xiaoxia's sandwiches and milk also came up.The reason why he ordered the sandwich was because Liu Pengcheng saw that Xiao Xia was a bit cautious here, and he probably seldom or never had Western food.And sandwiches are eaten with hands, without the knife and fork.

Xiao Xia finished the small sandwich in a few mouthfuls, Liu Pengcheng asked him what else to order, Xiao Xia hurriedly shook his hand, saying that he had a boxed lunch tonight.It's just that I have to eat some supper every day when I go home.

A few people chatted for a while, and then got to the point.Xiao Xia said: "Officer Liu, I think of something, I don't know if it will be useful to you."

In fact, rather than saying that he remembered one thing, it would be better to say he remembered a place, and this place was Fengqi Street.This is a famous old street.According to Xiao Xia, apart from business banquets, he is one of the few people who send Lao Du outside after get off work, and they don’t go home, they just go here.But every time I just send it, I don’t need him to pick it up.Because it is not far to walk to Lao Du's house.

Lao Du never said where he was going, nor who he was looking for, because this is an old pedestrian street, so Xiao Xia could only park the car at the entrance.

Ordinarily, this is not a clue, and it has nothing to do with the case, but there are a few things that impressed Xiaoxia very deeply. After he remembered this incident, he still called Liu Pengcheng.

First, the person Lao Du was looking for was an old acquaintance of his, who he met by chance. In the past few days, Lao Du was very happy and told Xiao Xia that he found someone he knew when he was in elementary school. .elementary school!It was elementary school, that is to say, this person met during the Republic of China.Because when New China was founded, Lao Du was already in middle school.

Second, he should be a craftsman, because Lao Du and Xiao Xia said, "You still have to know a craft. I didn't expect him to return to this street with his craft."

Third, this person is a man, because Lao Du never goes to this person empty-handed every time, but brings roast chicken, roast duck and other cooked food, or seafood such as crab and prawn, and he must bring old wine .This should be what men like.Moreover, Lao Du called the other party's elder brother, which meant that he was not only a man, but also much older than Lao Du.

But later, Lao Du mentioned this person less and less, and finally stopped mentioning it one day. Although he still went to this street sometimes, he never talked about this person with Xiaoxia.

Liu Pengcheng asked, "Do you know what this person's last name is?"

Xiao Xia shook his head, he really didn't know, Lao Du never said it.And Xiaoxia is not a character who asks questions randomly.

He doesn't know any more.

The next day, the criminal police compared the list of those who attended Lao Du's funeral and Lao Du's "tea friends".

The strange thing is that neither does business in that street nor lives near it.

It is understandable that there is no tea friend, but with someone who has known him for such a long time, it is unreasonable not to attend Lao Du's funeral.Of course, it is not ruled out that the old man is getting older and walking ahead of Lao Du.

While the criminal policemen were busy making comparisons, Liu Pengcheng was not idle. He found Professor Xiao and Professor Luo, and showed them the situation of the Luohe case.

After seeing it, Professor Xiao smiled and said, "Professor Xiaoliu, do you doubt that man in a military coat and think that the so-called hired murder is justified?"

Liu Pengcheng didn't hide his thoughts either: "Yes, I think this person is looking for the victim and a reason for him to act."

Professor Xiao smiled and asked, "Then do you think he found it?"

Liu Pengcheng said: "If he is really the murderer, he will be found. The first reason is that he thinks that the drunkard Shi Xiaojun is right and that he killed an adulterer and adulterer. The second reason is that Shi Xiaojun spent Two yuan and seven treats him to dinner."

Professor Xiao thought for a while: "One public and one private, there are indeed two reasons. If it is really him, the biggest reason is that he wants to kill someone, or he has to. Do you suspect that this is a perverted murder? case?"

Liu Pengcheng asked, "Do you think it's possible?"

Professor Xiao said: "Of course it is possible. Before the real culprit is determined, any motive is possible. Do you think the suspect in our case is the same person?"

At this time, Professor Luo also walked into the conference room, still holding the forensic report made by the task force at that time.Said: "The forensic identification at that time was too rough. Let me say a judgment that cannot be regarded as a scientific conclusion. It is just my private opinion. The two cases were done by one person. Although there are no good clues, but from the knife edge The angle, length, and exposure of the large intestine can still be seen!"

Liu Pengcheng asked: "If it's really a person, the reason last time was to punish the adulterer and the adulterer, and to give them a meal, so what about this time? Everyone knows Lao Du's character, is he also punished?" ?”

Professor Xiao said: "No! The criminal's criminal consciousness and subjective viciousness will also escalate. Last time there were two reasons, one public and one private. This time it is very likely that one reason will do. Whether it is public or private, he just It just needs a reason to convince himself to do it. In the end, it will develop to the point where he can kill without any reason."

Liu Pengcheng nodded.

At this time, Xiao Liu walked in, holding a pile of case materials, and told them by the way that he had compared the list of old Du tea friends and the funeral, and there was no one who met the conditions you mentioned.

Liu Pengcheng stood up and said to Xiao Liu, "Change into casual clothes, let's go shopping and read these files when we come back."
