Detective Files II

Chapter 278

"After ten o'clock? Can you be more precise? About ten o'clock? Can you see clearly? Are you sure it's a fat man?" Tian Mi couldn't help taking a deep breath because the matter was so important.

And she asked questions like a cannonball, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on the young man, making his attitude change from relaxed to tense.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? I, I can't remember when it was ten o'clock! Anyway, I went into the store to go to the bathroom before, and the evening news at ten o'clock happened to be on TV. After going to the bathroom, I came out again After a while, I saw someone over there coming out to close the shop, I figured it was more than ten o'clock, I really can't remember the specifics." He was a little panicked, his eyes looked back and forth between Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong , "What the hell is going on?"

Tian Mi took out the ID and showed it to him, and then continued to ask: "Can you describe the appearance of the person you saw at that time? Also, what did he do?"

When the young man saw that he was a policeman, instead of becoming more nervous and embarrassed like his boss wife and waiter colleagues, he was relieved and said with a little joy: "That's right, that night, I stood in the yard waiting to greet the guests." , you also know, bored, just looked around, and then! I suddenly saw a person sneaking out from the red lantern restaurant diagonally across the road! I thought this person was weird at the time, So I couldn't help but look at him a few more times..."

"Stop!" Tian Mi couldn't bear to hear this and stretched out her hand to signal him not to continue, "What you see is very important to us and may be of great help, so please put aside your artistic processing and try your best. Restore the facts, don't turn it into a personal storytelling session."

The young man rubbed the back of his head, grinned, a little embarrassed: "Well, it's the first time I met the police to investigate the case. I used to just watch it on TV, but this time I finally met him. I'm a little excited!"

Tian Mi looked at him dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the young man quickly adjusted his mood. This time he put away those exaggerated and overly subjective exaggerations, and said in a matter-of-fact way: "I was really bored that night, so I stood at the door and looked around, and I happened to see a The chubby man walked out of the Red Lantern Restaurant with a stoop, and hurriedly turned off the lights and locked the store door, because they usually close at about the same time. I didn’t pay attention at first, but later I felt that the man didn’t seem like a The owner or the proprietress of the store opposite is usually the two of them who come out to close the store, so I took a few more glances."

"Is there only one man?"

"Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal. At noon, I saw their cook run away angrily. We all know that apart from the little cook, there are only the boss and the boss's wife left in the big red lantern." Two polished commanders!"

"Why are you sure it's a man?" Lu Xiangdong asked a very important question.

The young man seemed to have subjectively defined the person he saw as a male before, but now that he was asked by Lu Xiangdong, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and he was stunned.

"Tell me about that person's appearance and behavior at that time." Tian Mi rescued him, which was also a different direction to confirm.

The young man recalled for a while, and said slowly: "He is not tall or short, but I am not sure after such a long distance at night. The man was wearing black clothes, a black hat, and seemed to be wearing a scarf, anyway. Even if he just came out of the store and stood under the door light, I couldn't see the man's face clearly—I usually have 5.2 eyesight!"

Tian Mi smiled at the young man's complacent tone when he mentioned his eyesight, and motioned him to continue talking.

"That person's movements are not particularly agile, his body is bulging, and he seems to be wearing thick clothes. I was very impressed by this. At that time, I was still thinking, the temperature has risen so warm these days, how could someone wrap himself up It looks like a bean bag! The man put a bag of something heavy, he didn’t know what it was, put it on the back rack of the bicycle and left. I really don’t know what happened after that.” The young man said It seems a little helpless here.

"Are you sure that what you see is not the owner or the proprietress of that store?" Tian Mi confirmed again.

"I'm sure of this! The proprietress of that store always takes our store as a thorn in her side! Every night before closing, she stands at the door of the store and looks at us vigorously. "The young man replied firmly, "How tall is the owner of that store! Why is he 1.8 meters five, maybe it's too much? The man I saw that day was definitely not that tall!"

"In what direction did the man leave?"

The young man thought for a while, then raised his hand and pointed. Tian Mi looked in the direction he pointed, and it was indeed leading to the place where the corpse was abandoned.

"Please take a look for us, does the body shape of the person that day resemble the person in the photo?" Tian Mi took out a photo of the Nian Yongjun from her bag, and handed it to the young man who helped park the car for identification.

The young man took the photo and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I don't think so, it doesn't feel like it, but I'm not completely sure. It was dark that night and the lighting was not very good. That man It’s still tightly wrapped, I really can’t say for sure.”

Beep—beep—.

A jeep drove off the road and turned into the small parking lot in front of Harvest Yard. The driver seemed to be a regular customer. He honked the horn twice to greet the young man and waited for him to arrange a parking space for him.

The young man looked over there in embarrassment, then at Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong.

"Thank you for your cooperation! Don't waste your time, go get busy!" Tian Mi saw that he didn't have time to ask, thanked him quickly, got in the car with Lu Xiangdong and left the restaurant.

"Tell me, don't look at what you said to be sure. In fact, the parking attendant has no way to determine whether he saw a man or a woman?" Tian Mi asked Lu Xiangdong.

"Give me a reason." Lu Xiangdong asked while driving.

Tian Mi had already had an idea in her heart before, and she didn't hesitate at all when she was asked, she just poured out her thoughts: "Didn't we learn such text sentences when we were in school!" The eyes of the rabbit are blurred, and the two rabbits walk side by side. An Neng can tell whether I am male or female! Leaving aside the physiological structure, in fact, in most cases, the criteria that people use to distinguish between men and women are concentrated on several important appearance characteristics. For example, beard, long hair, fat and thin body, flat or full breasts. But if these characteristics are hidden, or in the case of no obvious feminine characteristics and no clear appearance, the probability of a woman being regarded as a man Much more so than men being treated as women."

"so what?"

"So, the person he saw that night is extremely likely to be the murderer who was about to abandon the body after the murder, and the image he saw was covered up. Didn't he say it just now, the weather has warmed up to such an extent, But someone wears it so thickly! This may not be to conceal their gender characteristics!" Tian Mi snapped her fingers, "Nian Yongjun is not tall or strong among men, and Qi Bing is not tall among women. She can be considered a big guy, although Gui Xiuqin is thin, but her height is not inferior to some smaller men!"

"I understand what you mean." Lu Xiangdong nodded, "The 'fat man' he mentioned may be a fact, or it may be a subjective assumption caused by visual effects."

"So, our trip was rewarding, but it was not." Tian Mi sighed with regret, "If this young man is right, at least the death time of Wu Liang and his son can be postponed." It's before 11 o'clock! Next, I plan to start with Wu Liang's friends. Since Gui Xiuqin mentioned that Wu Liang had another friend that night, then this friend is either related to the murderer or is very important. Witnesses! We must find this person!"

Lu Xiangdong nodded without raising any objections.

After a while, the two arrived in the urban area. Tian Mi bought some snacks along the way and planned to go back to the bureau for a late lunch. Mo Dou greeted him anxiously.

But his target was not Tian Mi, but Lu Xiangdong who was following Tian Mi.

"Dr. Lu! You are back!" He hastily grabbed Lu Xiangdong, "Something happened to Nian Yongjun, we need your help!"

"What's the matter? Talk slowly." Lu Xiangdong replied patiently, while pulling Mo Dou's hand away from his arm.

When Mo Dou was in a hurry, how could he notice these details, while holding Lu Xiangdong back, he tried to lead him outside: "Nian Yongjun is in a mood!"

"What does he have to do with me?" Lu Xiangdong frowned, staring at Mo Dou's hand with lowered eyelids.

It was only then that Mo Dou realized how repulsed Lu Xiangdong was by his actions in a hurry, he quickly let go of his hand, a little embarrassed: "Oh, it's like this, he almost committed suicide by hitting the wall just now! His mood fluctuated a bit, Tian Yang tried to persuade you there for a long time, but it didn't work at all, you study psychology, we think you are the only one who can help you!"

"Sorry, I don't think I can help!" Lu Xiangdong refused without thinking.

When Tian Mi heard that Nian Yongjun was trying to commit suicide, she immediately became nervous, and looked at Lu Xiangdong eagerly, waiting for him to think of a way, but unexpectedly, she waited for a evasive word, and she was immediately upset: "If you don't want to help, you will not want to help." Help, don't you need to be fake modesty at this time?!"

Lu Xiangdong didn't care about her accusations: "If I don't want to help, I will tell you directly. If I say I can't help, I just can't help. Think for yourself, with my usual behavior, if I go to see Nian Supporting the army, is it more likely to appease him, or is it more likely to hasten his suicide?"

Tian Mi knew almost without thinking that the correct answer must be the latter.

"Call Hu Yang! He is the only one who can help at this time!" She said to Mo Dou.
