Eye of Sin

"Did you see him in this building? Why do you think this person is suspicious?" Ning Shuyi asked.

"Because this person has appeared not only once, but I have met him two or three times. How many times will he appear when I can't meet him? Who dares to think!"

The female neighbor said to them nervously: "That man is not a resident of our building at all. There is only one floor above my house, and there lives a teacher who is about my age and an old couple.

The teacher's child is in junior high school, and the old couple's child has settled abroad and will never come back.

So there is no such person upstairs in my house.

But every time I saw this man, he took the elevator directly to the top floor, got off the elevator and walked down the stairs.

The first time I encountered it, I was shocked. I didn’t think much about it and just opened the door and went home.

The second time I met him, I felt a little strange. At that time, I was worried that he was a habitual thief who came to our building to break into things, so I paid extra attention. I should have opened the door and went home. There was no rush and he stood in the corridor for a while.

As a result, I waited for a while and didn't hear any movement in the corridor, so I went down half a floor to take a look. Guess what?

The man was sitting on the stairs, fiddling with his cell phone.

I asked him what he was doing, but he didn't even look back. He got up and continued walking downstairs, as if he didn't hear me.

But you said that if he really didn't hear, he wouldn't have run away so quickly. He must have had some guilty intention. After being targeted by me, he was afraid of exposing his secret, so he ran away quickly. "

"So you haven't seen this person's appearance clearly. What about the others? Is there any way to estimate his age?" Ning Shuyi asked.

The female neighbor thought for a while: "Logically speaking, he shouldn't be too old. With the way he is dressed, he is still in his twenties. But could he be dressing up like that on purpose so that no one can guess how old he is? Then I don’t know.”

"The few times you met him, he took the elevator directly to the top floor and then walked down the stairs?"

"Yes, every time! Otherwise I wouldn't be suspicious!" The female neighbor nodded hurriedly, "Originally I was afraid that a thief would step in, but now I'm even more worried. I'm afraid that if it's a murderer... I I bumped into him before and even chased him to ask him what he did. Don’t think I know anything and take revenge on me!”

"Don't worry, we'll go to the property's monitoring room to adjust the monitoring and see what's going on." Ning Shuyi comforted her, "Can you help us recall the last time we saw this suspicious person? ?Date, approximate time, this will be of great help to us!”

"Okay! No problem!" Upon hearing that Ning Shuyi and the others were willing to help find out, the female neighbor breathed a sigh of relief and responded particularly readily.

With the information provided by the female neighbor, the three people who originally planned to return to the bureau changed their route and went to the monitoring room of the property. First, they called up the elevator monitoring system based on the approximate time when the mysterious figure was last seen, as provided by the female neighbor. Sure enough, they saw Arriving at the person mentioned by the female neighbor.

The person in the picture looks to be at least 185 centimeters tall. He is wearing jeans and sneakers. He is wearing a black down jacket and a royal blue hooded sweatshirt. The hood of the sweatshirt is on his head, exactly as the female neighbor said. .

This man also wore a thick black mask on his face, made of windproof and warm material, which covered two-thirds of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, which were still hidden behind his bangs and broken hair.

Huo Yan asked the property management staff to help him pause the video, zoom in as much as possible, look at it carefully, and then signaled to continue playing the surveillance video.

As expected, the young man in the picture took the elevator all the way to the top floor. After the elevator door opened, he walked straight out. The elevator monitoring unit in this unit is not installed in a corner inside as usual, but on the side of the elevator door, and the inner wall facing the elevator door happens to be a mirror.

The camera could clearly see through the mirror that after the man stepped out of the elevator on the top floor, he did not turn to either of the two households on this floor, but walked straight towards the stairwell.

No wonder the female neighbor felt suspicious.

Ning Shuyi asked the property staff to help play back the video. She felt that although the young man was dressed and dressed without any impression, he seemed to have an indescribable sense of familiarity.

She looked at Huo Yan. In terms of identifying people and checking details, Huo Yan's ability was definitely unparalleled, and the rest of the team combined might not be able to match him.

As expected, Huo Yan already knew what was going on and nodded to Ning Shuyi.

Ning Shuyi then asked the property management for several videos that were still in storage based on the dates provided by the female neighbor. After that, the three of them left the community and drove back to the bureau.

After this busy period, most of the morning had passed. When he returned to the bureau, Kang Ge had finished helping him. There were other things to do, so Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan left the rest to Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan.

"You have an impression of the person in the video, right?" Ning Shuyi sat down at his desk and asked Huo Yan while turning on the computer, preparing to call up the elevator surveillance of the day of the crime scene that had been saved previously.

"Yes." Huo Yan nodded, "There is a lock of hair on the forehead that is dyed light yellow, and the earrings on the ears are the same."

"I know you have good eyesight, and you can definitely see more details!" Ning Shuyi has been dealing with Huo Yan for a long time, and is no longer surprised by his abilities, but he still admires him very much, "I didn't realize what you said. Those two places.

I just think that it is easier to change people's clothes and hairstyle, but it is difficult to change things like standing and walking posture once they are formed, especially if they are inadvertent, and it is even harder to cover up.

I thought the man's walking posture looked familiar. I seemed to have seen it on surveillance video before, but I wasn't sure.

Now add in the details you noticed and I'm pretty sure. "

The expression on Huo Yan's face was light, but his waist seemed to be a little straighter.

The video of the day of the crime was pulled out. Ning Shuyi considered that Xu Wenbiao had come to the scene of the crime early in the morning, but he had not met anyone, so he delayed the time schedule until after Xu Wenbiao left and screened it carefully.

About twenty minutes after Xu Wenbiao left Hong Xinli's residence, it was also past the morning rush hour. The elevator door, which had been quiet for a long time, opened again, and a man wearing an ankle-length dark gray down coat came in.

This man looked very tall, with a down jacket and a hat on his head, and a mask on his face.

But the way he walked, the tuft of yellow hair on his forehead, and the faintly visible earrings all told them that the suspicious person provided by the female neighbor had indeed appeared on the day of the crime.
