Eye of Sin

"This person!" Ning Shuyi pointed at the screen, feeling a little excited about this discovery, "Look when he left!"

The surveillance video continued to play at double speed. Most of the time, the picture was relatively static. Occasionally, the elevator would go up and down once or twice.

After a while, the elevator started again, ascended, and stopped two floors below the crime scene, and the man's figure appeared again.

He walked into the elevator with brisk steps and fiddled with his cell phone, shaking his head slightly from time to time.

There was no sound from the elevator monitor, so we could only guess from his body language that he must be in a good mood at this time, maybe humming a song.

The elevator slowly stopped on the first floor and opened the door. The man took out his mobile phone and made a call, then walked out of the elevator door slowly and walked out of the range that could be captured by the surveillance camera.

Ning Shuyi glanced at the time on the surveillance video in the corner of the screen.

From the time this mysterious man appeared to when he left, it took a total of an hour and a few minutes.

It took more than an hour, and there was still a little extra sixty minutes. To say that this person had been lingering in the stairwell and was still so happy when he left, Ning Shuyi would never believe it.

"It can be said that Hong Xinli was unprepared for the murderer when she was killed, and forensic doctor Zhang also confirmed that she had had a relationship with someone before she was killed. There was no trace of violence or resistance, and it was a voluntary act.

Originally I thought this person would be Xu Wenbiao, but it turned out that the date between Xu Wenbiao and Hong Xinli was disrupted by his wife Yan Yuan, and it failed.

This mysterious man appeared more than ten minutes after Xu Wenbiao left, and left an hour later. He was very secretive. He took the elevator to the top floor and walked down. When he left, he also walked down two floors from the stairwell before taking the elevator again.

If we hadn't gone there to look for the video on the computer today, hadn't met the female neighbor who lives upstairs, and listened to her complaints about public security issues, we might not have noticed this person until now, even if he had been saved by us before. Appeared in surveillance. "

Ning Shuyi felt a little strange: "But if this person is here for Hong Xinli, haven't the call records and contacts on the phone been screened?

It stands to reason that if Hong Xinli had made an appointment with him, Qi Tianhua would not have missed the call or chat records so close to Hong Xinli's death! "

Huo Yan thought for a while and then glanced at the surveillance screen frozen on the screen: "What time did Xu Wenbiao leave before?"

"Almost ten past eight." Ning Shuyi still remembered this detail very clearly and answered simply.

"Ten past eight..." Huo Yan found Hong Xinli's call record and quickly found the information he wanted to confirm. "There is an incoming call here. The call lasted only ten seconds. The incoming call time was Thirteen minutes past eight.”

"This call..." Ning Shuyi looked at the number and notes, "it was saved as 'takeaway' in Hong Xinli's mobile phone..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly found Hong Xinli's cell phone. After keeping it for so long, the cell phone had run out of power, so she had to be patient and charge it for a while. When it could be turned on, she hurriedly retrieved it. Call history of received calls.

Among the long string of received call records, there are many incoming calls whose numbers have not been stored in the previous dates. Under the string of phone numbers, notes from Hong Xinlizhuang’s mobile security app display such as “Takeaway” "Express delivery" or "advertising promotion" or even "suspected fraud".

Only in the incoming call at 8:13 in the morning on the day of the crime, the word "takeaway" was the stored contact name, not an automatic note from the mobile phone software.

"Luo Wei!" Ning Shuyi looked up and saw Luo Wei and Qi Tianhua coming back from outside. He quickly waved to them to come over.

"What's wrong?" Luo Wei came over with a smile and saw Huo Yan laughing, "How is it? You have been in such a big newspaper page. Have you received any calls from relatives and friends to congratulate you?" Just after he finished speaking, his waist Qi Tianhua's elbow hit him on the side, and Luo Wei realized belatedly that Huo Yan's family situation was quite special. He had vaguely heard of this before, but after all, it had little to do with him, so he didn't I care, but I didn’t expect that I accidentally said the wrong thing at this moment.

He looked at Huo Yan with some trepidation, not knowing what to say.

"Luo Wei!" Ning Shuyi raised her hand and snapped her fingers in front of Luo Wei, successfully calling his attention back. "Have you confirmed the identity of the other party on this delivery call?"

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and glanced at Hong Xinli's mobile phone in Ning Shuyi's hand: "Takeout? Isn't that just takeout? Why do you need to confirm it?"

"So...you saw that this number stores takeaways, so it is automatically classified into the same category as the other takeaways and express delivery numbers below?!" Ning Shuyi frowned.

Only then did Luo Wei realize that he had done something wrong: "Oh! Yes! I neglected this matter!

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Fortunately you found it, otherwise I might not have carefully confirmed the identity of this number until now!

What's that? Don't worry! I will confirm it immediately! Regardless of any impact, I take all responsibility!

Regardless of whether it caused any impact, I will make amends to you later! "

"I'll do it." Huo Yan waved his hand to Luo Wei. He could see that Luo Wei was indeed a little panicked because of something wrong at work, but he couldn't let a panicked person do this at this time. .

He quickly checked the owner's identity information and found that the owner's name was Lu Rui. He was 21 years old and had a non-local household registration.

Although the person is not local, the number is.

Huo Yan motioned to the others to stop talking, took out his cell phone and dialed the number.

After the phone rang several times, it was finally connected. A sleepy voice came from the other side of the phone. It sounded like he had been woken up from a dream and was still a little awake.

"Hey... who are you looking for...?" asked the other side.

"Are you Lu Rui? I have your express delivery." Huo Yan said to him calmly, "Come out and get it."

"Hmm...?" Lu Rui seemed a little confused on the other end of the phone, "What? Express delivery? Ah... Then you can leave the post for me."

"Which inn?"

"What other inn station is there!" Lu Rui said impatiently, "There is only one inn station in our school! Are you a courier person?! Why are you so unfamiliar with the business!"

"If you want to ask more clearly about valuables, is it your responsibility or mine to lose them?" Huo Yan ignored his impatience and asked, "Which school gate is closest to the inn?"

After hearing what he said and asked, Lu Rui choked back his impatience: "Go to the east gate of Huayuan Street. Go straight in and take the second intersection and turn left."
