Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 1016 Delaying the Time of Death (5)
There are still two customers left who have not been investigated. These two customers are also served by the same technician. Her name is He Liping. She is about 162 centimeters tall, has a slim and plump figure, particularly red lips, a real cherry mouth, and watery eyes. , like the stars in the sky, with bright eyes and good vision, graceful and charming, very lovable.

She said that the two people she served were regular customers or friends. One was named Tang Yang and the other was named Meng Xia.Tang Yang is 35 years old and works as a manager at Tianlai KTV. After get off work, he often comes to Phoenix Foot Bath Center for a foot massage or massage.He came at 9:15 on September 01th and paid the bill and left at 30:02. He Liping personally walked him out of the front door.

Meng Xia is the security manager of Sanjiang Hotel. He came at 02:30, had a foot bath for an hour, and left at 03:30. He Liping also sent him out.Of course, if he came in through the back door again after he went back, she wouldn't be able to see it.On the surface, there was no suspicion between them.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke returned to the team and explained the investigation situation to Jiang Yiming.Jiang Yiming thought for a while and said: "You'd better call all three technicians to watch the surveillance video and confirm the time when these six men entered and exited the Phoenix Foot Bath Center one by one, because after they left the Phoenix Foot Bath Center, they might return to the scene of the crime. Committing a crime on the spot.”

"Yes, all three of them should be called to watch the surveillance video... However, what I am most worried about is: if the murderer hid in the Phoenix Foot Bath Center before 9:15 on September 01th, and waited for Lin Chao to leave before entering the crime scene If the murder is committed on the spot, our investigation efforts will be in vain," Wu Jiang said.

"The possibility that the murderer went to the Phoenix Foot Bath Center in advance is relatively small. Unless the murderer followed Lin Chao and Wang Wenbing and saw them walking into Private Room 14, he could hide at the scene of the crime. Otherwise, the murderer had no idea that they were going to Phoenix Foot Bath Center. Foot bath center massage.”

"What if Lin Chao or Wang Wenbing revealed to the murderer that they were going to Phoenix Foot Bath Center for a massage?"

"No, I asked Lin Chao. He said that after he and Wang Wenbing finished singing, Wang Wenbing proposed to go for a massage. Lin Chao agreed to Wang Wenbing's suggestion, and then they took a taxi to the Phoenix Foot Bath Center and entered Private room No. 14, they did not call anyone during this process." Wu Jiang replied.

"Then we need to extend the investigation time."

"Yes, all customers who entered the Phoenix Foot Bath Center after 9:15 on September 00th will be investigated."

“你认为凶手肯定是9月15日00:30之后进入凤凰足浴中心的顾客，不可能是9月15日00:30之前进入的顾客吗？”

"Yes, but you can also put forward your own ideas." Jiang Yiming said with a smile.

"We assume that Lin Chao is the murderer's accomplice. In order to evade our investigation, he may have asked the murderer to hide in the Phoenix Foot Bath Center after 14 a.m. on the 8th. Lin Chao asked Wang Wenbing for a massage. After Lin Chao paid the bill and left, The murderer then entered Room 14 and strangled Wang Wenbing to death."

"Oh, your point of view is very innovative. It is possible. But why did Lin Chao kill Wang Wenbing? And one thing is very important. Wang Wenbing called Lin Chao at 9:14 in the evening on September 19th. , saying that he came to the provincial capital, Lin Chao did not know that Wang Wenbing had come to the provincial capital before. Therefore, your inference is not valid. "

"That's just what Lin Chao said, and there is no proof."

"No, when I notified Wang Wenbing's wife to come to the forensic center to identify the body, I had already asked his wife. His wife said that Wang Wenbing drove to the provincial capital after having dinner in Xiyan City, even though Wang Wenbing told Lin in advance Chao said he was coming to the provincial capital, but until Lin Chao saw Wang Wenming, he couldn't be [-]% sure that Wang Wenbing would come to the provincial capital. Therefore, even if Lin Chao was an accomplice, it was impossible to arrange for the murderer to sneak into the Phoenix Foot Bath Center in advance."

"What you said makes sense, but I always feel that this matter is a bit strange, and I can't tell what is wrong...Okay, Xiao Ke and I will go to the Phoenix Foot Bath Center to investigate again, expand the investigation time, and take the three technicians Call us to check the surveillance video with the visual investigation team." Wu Jiang called Wen Xiaorou, and Xiao Ke returned to the Phoenix Foot Bath Center to investigate.

Wu Jiang communicated with Shui Qingfeng, Su Lixing, and He Liping and asked them to go to the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Team to help them review the surveillance videos. At first, they said they had to go to work and were unavailable. Later, Wu Jiang said that they would compensate them for the loss caused by missing work, and would also levy taxes. With Zhao Minglei's approval, they agreed to go with Wen Xiaorou.

After Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke left, Jiang Yiming thought he should go to the Huan Sing KTV to find the lady who sang and drank with Wang Wenbing. Maybe he could learn about the situation that night from her mouth.So, Jiang Yiming called Lin Chao. After the call was connected, Jiang Yiming asked him what was the name of the lady who sang with Wang Wenbing on the night of September 9?Lin Chao replied that his name was Huang Jiazhi.

"Huang Jiazhi? Where does she live?"

"She said she lives in Dongli Village, but I don't know exactly where she lives."

"Do you have her cell phone number?"

"Yes, I'll take a look and send it to you later." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Dongli Village is located at the intersection of Jiangdong Avenue North and Huanghua Road. Most of them are rental houses. However, because it is a new rural area planned in the late 90s, it is relatively neat. The streets and alleys are straight, and the houses are in line with each other. The spacing between the houses is very reasonable, and the lighting and greening are very good. Most of the people who live here are white-collar workers or young ladies.

After Jiang Yiming received the mobile phone number sent to him by Lin Chao, he directly extracted the number from the message box and dialed it. The call was connected. After six rings, the other party answered the phone: "Hello, who are you?" Her voice Very lazy, as if he had just woken up.

"I am Jiang Yiming from the Municipal Criminal Police Team. Are you Huang Jiazhi?"

"Yes, I am Huang Jiazhi. I have not broken any laws. Have you found the wrong person?" "Yes, I am looking for you. Lin Chao gave me your mobile phone number. Where do you live? We want to Let me know the situation from you.”

"If I haven't broken the law, you don't need my specific address. Let's do this. I live in Dongli Village. There is a Starbucks coffee shop at the entrance of the village. Can we talk about it somewhere?" Her words were strong, but her tone was very strong. gentle.

"Okay, we'll go there and wait for you now. After you walk into the coffee shop, just ask the front desk clerk where the guests from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Team are." After Jiang Yiming finished speaking, he hung up the phone and drove to Jiangdong with Zhou Ting. Starbucks coffee shop on Avenue North.

Neither Jiang Yiming nor Zhou Ting likes to drink coffee. They like to drink tea, so they have never been to the Starbucks cafe on Jiangdong Avenue North.After they walked into the coffee shop, they smelled a strong aroma of coffee, and the piano music "Dream Wedding" was playing in the background. The soothing, low-pitched, and quiet music created a sweet and romantic atmosphere... They chose to sit down by the window.

After a while, a tall and slender girl walked towards them. As she moved, her long hair flowed slightly. She was wearing a white dress and her high heels made a crisp sound when she stepped on the marble floor.A voice floated over: "Are you two from the criminal police team of the city bureau?"

"Yes, are you Huang Jiazhi?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"Well, isn't my name too shabby?" She glanced at them quickly, which seemed a bit unexpected. She didn't expect that there were two such heroic policemen in the world, and she instantly developed a liking for them. Give them both a sweet smile.

"The name is just a symbol. It doesn't matter what you call it. The name your parents gave you is difficult to change after registering at the police station. Please sit down." Jiang Yiming motioned for her to sit down on the wooden chair opposite.

"The two police officers are majestic and heroic. They are really rare and handsome guys." She gently lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her slender thighs, and sat down slowly, her eyes constantly glancing back and forth on their faces.

"Thank you, thank you. What would you like to drink?"

"Thank you, I like drinking Blue Mountain coffee." When she smiled, she showed two rows of neat, jade-like teeth, which shimmered under the light.

Jiang Yiming asked the waiter to serve a cup of Blue Mountain coffee and then asked: "We want to find out the situation from you. Do you know Wang Wenbing?"

"Wang Wenbing? I don't seem to recognize him. Can you give me a hint?" She opened her big eyes, and her long eyelashes were flashing along with her eyelids.

"You have seen so many people, no wonder you don't remember him. He was a guest who sang in TKV Room 9 on the night of September 14th. You sat on his stage and drank and sang with him. You should remember him now, right?"

She was stunned for a moment, as if her hidden secret had been exposed. She nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes, I remembered it, but it's not against the law to accompany people drinking, right?"

"According to my country's Entertainment Venue Management Regulations, it is illegal to provide or engage in for-profit escorts. It seems you don't know much about our country's laws."

"Since it's illegal, why are there waiting ladies in every major entertainment venue across the country? Why don't you go and catch them?"

"Because this is a public security issue. We are in charge of criminal cases. We are not responsible for sitting on the stage and drinking with you. Moreover, China's police force is seriously insufficient. We can only turn a blind eye or close one eye to the prostitutes who are sitting on the stage everywhere... We are here today. Let’s not talk about this issue. Are you the only one singing with Wang Wenbing on the night of the 14th?”

"Yes." She scratched her ears and said, her eyes no longer daring to glance back and forth on their faces, losing her confidence and aloofness.

"Are you two alone in the room?"

"Yes, Wang Wenbing... Mr. Wang's drinking capacity is so good. Each of us drank almost 24 bottles of 500ml Budweiser beer. Later, I was drunk. It was my sister who sent me home. In fact, , we are helpless, forcing ourselves to smile is not as easy as you think. Being drunk is really harmful to the body."

"In that case, why not change your way of life?"

"I don't have a diploma, I have no skills, and I can't endure hardship. This kind of job is the most suitable for me."
