Chapter 24 The last piece of the puzzle (2)
The dinner at Han Que's house came to an abrupt end after Wang Shiqi received a phone call.He almost threw him downstairs and drove away, the tires rubbing against the concrete floor making harsh noises.He didn't say what happened, but Zheng Yuan already had a premonition.After all, he had to turn around to get to the police station. The direction his car was pointing at should be the detention center.

The dining table was requisitioned as a temporary desk, and a lot of things were spread out on it, such as computers, materials, and takeaways that I didn't have time to eat in the evening.Zheng Yuan opened the notebook, pushed aside the lunch box wrapped in a plastic bag, wiped a bit of residual warmth from his fingertips, and it was still not completely cooled.

But some things have turned upside down.Zheng Yuan smiled wryly, and pulled out the photo borrowed from Han Que's house.Xu Ting's appearance was placed next to Xu Ziqian's, she was shorter, her chin was rounder, and her complexion was darker.However, the appearance will change, but the eyes will not change.Zheng Yuan stared at that face, unable to imagine that the girl with such a smile had already experienced such turmoil.According to Yang Ji, she was sexually assaulted by a classmate in her freshman year of high school. On the same day, that classmate had a car accident while chasing her and died.That classmate is called Yuan Tongxin.

Strangely, even using the internal database of the newspaper, the case of that year could not be found. After searching the entire Internet, only a few words remained on an ancient anonymous forum.

……

Yuan Tongxin and Yuan Jiashu didn't need Wang Shiqi to check him out to sniff out the unusual blood connection behind this.If Xu Ting fell in love with her younger brother ten years ago and planned to marry her elder brother ten years later, it would not be an exaggeration to guess that Xu Ting took Yuan Jiashu to study abroad together with her family background and their common study abroad experience.However, she is clearly the victim, why not keep her perpetrators at a respectful distance?Zheng Yuan stared at the photo, Xu Ziqian, or Xu Ting, those light brown eyes exuded an air of uncertainty.Behind her gentleness lies danger.

With a thought in his heart, Zheng Yuan searched through boxes and boxes to find out Wang Shiqi's old address book. He knew that this person had this habit, because he lost his mobile phone frequently, so he always had to copy the phone number by hand to rest assured.The numbers in blue and black ink were arranged in order, and his finger slid down and landed on Cheng Nuo's name.

He sent a message to the other party: "I am Zheng Yuan, and I want to ask you to check a person's death record."

A minute later, Cheng Nuo's message came back: "You're welcome. But this is the job of the household registration police, right?"

"The only registered policeman I knew has passed away."

When Zheng Yuan typed this line, he didn't hesitate at all, he was just stating a fact, even though this fact made him experience the collapse of his whole life.He knew that this sentence had the same lethal effect on the other party, because it didn't take long for Cheng Nuo's reply to be sent back in the dialog box. It was very brief, but Zheng Yuan could almost hear the sigh behind him.

"Tell me, who?"

Zheng Yuan clicked the keyboard: "Yuan Tongxin. It's been a long time. It should be in 2003. The car accident may not be easy to find out."

Cheng Nuo only replied with four words: "Give me an email address."

An hour later, Zheng Yuan saw Yuan Tongxin's record.

The time of death was not 2003, and the cause of death was not a car accident.

Yuan Tongxin died on June 2004, 6. The cause of death was that he accidentally fell from the building due to brain damage and was unable to take care of himself.The eyewitness was his own brother—Yuan Jiashu.

Zheng Yuan stared at the word "accident" on the judgment, feeling that he was staring into a dark abyss.

Wang Shiqi struggled until the morning before finally returning home.In winter, the sky dawns late, and it is still gray and blue after seven o'clock, like quenched cold steel.In the haze, he saw a small pile of undulations on the sofa, and when he got closer, his heart suddenly jumped.That crooked posture, curled fingers, and unconscious profile were almost exactly the same as the scene I saw in the prison earlier.If it wasn't for Wang Shiqi's disbelief in ghosts and gods, he would almost have thought that Wu Hui's corpse had come back to his house.

Fortunately, this person was wearing Zheng Yuan's clothes, with a notebook spread out on his chest, and his glasses slipped to the floor.The morning light traced his side face, his smooth front hair fell down, his chest heaved, his lips were slightly parted, and he was unguarded—he was just asleep.

Even if it was just an oolong, Wang Shiqi woke up from his doze.He stood in front of him, thinking about what happened that night, the more he thought about it, the worse he became, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zheng Yuan's neck.

Zheng Yuan's eyes opened quickly, and he held Wang Shiqi's wrist with a very unscientific agility for a sleeping person. The other hand has already touched the little finger of the other's left hand. As long as he breaks back, he will be accompanied by Wang Shiqi. Almost 100% of fractures can escape the shackles.

But after seeing clearly who it was, Zheng Yuan let go of his hand again, his eyes were sleepy, his body relaxed again, and he sank into the sofa.

"Let me sleep a little longer..." He muttered, allowing Wang Shiqi's hands to clenched a little more, and Wang Shiqi finally lost his temper: "It's okay to sleep! Wu Hui is dead."

"Huh?" Zheng Yuan was completely awake now, he turned over and sat up: "When did it happen?"

"It was already dead when the call came yesterday." Wang Shiqi slumped down and sat beside him: "I guess it was planned for a long time, and it happened to be between the two rounds of inspections after the lights were turned off. When I found out, the blood was gone."

There was a roar in Zheng Yuan's eardrums, accompanied by a sudden stomachache, as if someone had punched him in the stomach, and all the blood rushed to the head: "...Who did it?"

"Who did it?" Wang Shiqi yelled at his bewildered face, "Isn't it you!"

Zheng Yuan flinched: "What do you mean!"

"That's what it means! Wu Hui committed suicide by exsanguination from the carotid artery. Do you know what he used? Sharpened half-cut chopsticks! The chopsticks you used to invite him to eat!" Wang Shiqi grabbed Zheng Yuan's collar: "He How dare you say you didn’t see it when you were hiding it?”

Zheng Yuan remained silent, and just looked at Wang Shiqi's hand with lowered eyes. Wang Shiqi's resignation made Wang Shiqi even angrier: "What's wrong? Are you dumb?"

"Since you've decided that it's my fault, it's useless for me to say anything." Zheng Yuan turned his face sideways: "I really didn't see it. I'm the one who doesn't want him to die the last, you know."

Wang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand in frustration, and sat back down: "...Anyway, it's useless to say anything. Whether it's the real murderer or the witness, he's already dead." He covered his face with his arm, and his voice It became vague: "I have lost completely."

The silence lasted for a while, until Zheng Yuan took his hand off forcefully. "That's not necessarily true," he held up his notebook: "I found out something new. If Xu Ziqian is Xu Ting, then she and Yuan Jiashu should both be students of No. 23 Middle School. Yuan Jiashu also has a brother named Yuan Tongxin. I'm in the same class as Xu Ziqian."

"Yuan Tongxin?" Wang Shiqi muttered the name, frowning. "Don't tell me, I felt like I heard this name somewhere last night..."

"If you had heard of his case 12 years ago." Zheng Yuan looked down at the information: "Teacher Yang said that there was a sexual assault case between Xu Ting and Yuan Tongxin, and Yuan Tongxin died in a car accident while chasing her. But I can't find any information about this case. And according to the records, Yuan Tongxin died in the summer of the second year when he accidentally fell to his death, what happened in between?"

"Sexual assault and car accident...car..." Wang Shiqi jumped up suddenly: "I know!" He rushed into the study almost on his hands and feet, and dug out a large pile of notepads from the bottom of the bottom cabinet—— —That was the case record he made in his early years. "It should be there, right here..." He rummaged through the pile of old papers tremblingly, and looked up to meet Zheng Yuan's concerned gaze: "I remembered who Yuan Tongxin was! Do you still remember the day when your son had a full moon wine?" ?”

Full moon wine?That's right, Wang Shiqi left the meeting early that day because he answered a phone call.Is it a case?It seems so, it seems that I still begged that I want to go and see it together... Zheng Yuan's heart beat faster, and he seemed to feel the heavy weight of the longevity lock in his hand: "Ah... you said that day... you said..."

"There was a car accident on Yan'an East Road, and someone at the scene reported that the rape was attempted." Wang Shiqi held up a black leather notebook: "Because the injured suddenly rushed out of the road at a red light, the driver drove normally, so he does not bear the main responsibility." He said. He quickly walked back to Zheng Yuan, and pointed out the page to him: "The person who was hit was Yuan Tongxin! And the person who reported the crime..."

"It's Xu Ting." Zheng Yuan took the notebook and scanned the scribbled writing on it: "Since you went to the scene, why didn't you file a case later?"

"This..." Wang Shiqi grabbed his hair and walked around the living room anxiously: "Let's think about it, the woman should have withdrawn the lawsuit on her own initiative and changed her statement, saying it was a misunderstanding. It's not like this kind of thing happened before. However, after all, people have crashed like that, and the man's family seems to have agreed to pay compensation, and it is estimated that the two families reconciled privately, and this matter is over..."

"So the Yuan family lost money to the Xu family?" Zheng Yuan glared at Wang Shiqi: "You have seen the level of Xu Ting's family. The entire Cedar Building is their own real estate. Will they be short of this money?"

"I also felt... At that time, I felt that something was wrong. What is it?" Wang Shiqi snatched the notebook and searched quickly: "It's been too long, my brain is really not working."

"Think about it again, it's mainly Xu Ting's side." Zheng Yuan's eyes fell on the old photo again: "After more than ten years, she was the victim twice by the two brothers, the probability is too small Yes, there must be some deliberate element in it."

"That doesn't make sense. You mean she's a girl, so why don't you force someone to moleste her?" After Wang Shiqi said this, he suddenly seemed to be choked by something, his face turned red, Zheng Yuan was startled: "What's wrong with you!"

"I know what's wrong." Wang Shiqi let out a long breath, and stopped his fingers on a note. The two lines of words were like dogs crawling, isolated from other records, and circled by a red pen. There is another question mark next to it. "Witness...witness...sun...street vendor..." Zheng Yuan stumbled and read for a long time without making a fuss, Wang Shiqi couldn't help but go straight to the point: "It's a testimony back then, it was said by an old woman selling popsicles by the roadside , She said she saw these two people chasing and running out of an alley, and they were arguing, and then the man suddenly rushed onto Yan'an East Road, and was hit by a car."

"so what?"

"The problem is the order." Wang Shiqi pursed his lips: "She said that the girl was running behind the boy."

Zheng Yuan felt a flash of lightning in his mind: "Ah...so, it wasn't Yuan Tongxin who was chasing Xu Ting?"

"Well, if according to Xu Ting's first statement, Yuan Tongxin asked her to meet at home, then sexually assaulted her, she struggled and ran away, and Yuan Tongxin chased after her because she was afraid that she would speak out, then how could she appear? Behind Yuan Tongxin?"

"So did you question it then?"

"It must have been brought up, but the person involved, Yuan Tongxin, was in a severe coma. There were no other witnesses on the road except the aunt. The driver was so frightened after hitting someone that he couldn't recall the specific scene. This testimony can only be regarded as an isolated case. , the credibility is not high.”

Zheng Yuan's face darkened suddenly: "Then I guess... Did that aunt change her words when you went back to ask again?"

"Yes." Wang Shiqi scratched the messy top of his head: "I'm getting old, and I can't see clearly, what can I do?"

That's right.Zheng Yuan thought of the messages he saw on the forum, contacted Wang Shiqi's records, and almost pieced together a completely different story: Yuan Tongxin is a popular boy in his class, Xu Ting's family is rich and powerful, and has a mature personality. Chasing backwards is rarely unsuccessful, not to mention she is not ugly.However, is the little boyfriend who chased after him really so desirable?If she feels that the person she is sure of doesn't seem to like her that much, what kind of revenge will a girl use?

Zheng Yuan has reported too many juvenile crimes during his years as a reporter, and he knows what's going on.Sex crimes are the worst behavior, but using sex crimes to accuse or even blackmail an innocent person is almost one of the most common means used by adolescent rebellious girls.If Xu Ting planned to have sex to trap Yuan Tongxin, and the latter ran away, then the witness's testimony would be almost [-]% valid.Even...the scene of the chasing couple of young men and women appeared in Zheng Yuan's mind. The testimony said that they were jostling, that was physical contact. If Xu Ting was behind Yuan Tongxin, why did he suddenly rush out when the car came? ?What if instead of pulling, she pushed him?

Zheng Yuan was made into a cold sweat by his assumption.

The hour hand pointed to nine o'clock in the morning, and it was already daylight. Wang Shiqi went to the kitchen and cooked breakfast. "People are iron and rice is steel. It's a big thing, let's talk about it after eating." He patted his buttocks and walked away, leaving Zheng Yuan alone to face the mess on the table and the floor. The scraps don't cost much money, but the scattered clues are hidden in it like tiny sands, and unexpected answers can be extracted if the right tricks are found.Zheng Yuan sat on the floor and placed the documents of several people beside him in order, Wu Hui and Yuan Jiashu, Yuan Jiashu and Yuan Tongxin, Yuan Tongxin and Xu Ziqian...In the end they formed a circle and could be related to all of them The people who are saved are in his hands at this moment.

"What do you think is the probability of an underage girl becoming a serial murderer?"
