Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 355: Participating in the case

Yu Xing didn’t know what happened between Zhao Mou and Zhao Yijiu, let alone that Zhao Mou had given him a mouthful of poisonous milk.

 After replying to Zhao Mou, he clicked on Zhu Yan's message and expressed his interest in the case.

Not long after, Zhu Yan called and briefly mentioned the current situation to him.

“You already know about this case? Well, the deceased is from our book club—” Zhu Yan was interrupted by Yu Xing in her first sentence.

“You joined the reading club?” Yu Xing remembered that the last time he went to the school celebration, Zhu Yan was not a member of the reading club.

"There are so many clubs, why add a few more!" Zhu Yan said, "Reading more is good for your physical and mental health. Besides, the club activity room of the book club is opposite the bartending club. I am thinking about the task you gave me."

The bartending club, Wang Jue—that is, the club where the deducer Wang Jue belongs. The previous excuses are bullshit, but if Zhu Yan went to spy on Wang Jue for the mission, Yu Xing still believes it.

Yu Xing felt that he knew too little about this case: "So, what do you think of her?"

"The deceased is the vice-president of the reading club, her name is Liu Lingling. I'm not very familiar with her. I only know that this woman's reputation is not very good. She seemed to have cuckolded her boyfriend and was discovered by her boyfriend. Once she was directly involved in the club activities There was a fuss."

"That is to say, her boyfriend knew about her cheating." Yu Xing lowered his eyes and recalled what Hua Subai said that the girl was secretly followed by her boyfriend when she passed by the flower shop. "What's the boyfriend's name?" ?”

In any case, the boy who followed Liu Lingling last night definitely did not go there with any friendly intentions.

Zhu Yan said: "Wang Guanshi, a junior. They are both juniors and have been together since their freshman year."

“She does like reading, but her liking for reading does not conflict with her personality. She is a person who likes possessions. You know, she likes anything as long as it is valuable.”

Yu Xing unknowingly picked up a pen and drew a portrait of the **** a scrap of paper: "Go on."

"She actually had a good relationship with her boyfriend before, but in the past month or two, she had a conflict because she hooked up with a rich man. I still have to check the details. The Criminal Investigation Detachment has no definite conclusion yet. Everyone is investigating, monitoring, visiting, and interrogating Wang Guanshi.”

Yu Xing’s pen tip paused.

There was gradually noise on Zhu Yan's side, as if someone was approaching Zhu Yan. She seemed to have moved to another place with her mobile phone. When it became quiet again, Zhu Yan said: "I am in the bureau now. After I was injured last time, Han Jiang asked me to officially become a consultant to the police force, and now I have moved from underground to above ground.”

"I know this." Yu Xing was also paying attention to Zhu Yan secretly, and his attention was diverted to another direction, "You just said that the police only summoned Wang Guanshi?"

Zhu Yan hesitated for a moment: "Well... there are some other people who may be involved in the case, but Wang Guanshi was unable to provide an alibi, so he was listed as a key suspect."

"Where is her rich cheating partner?" Yu Xing quickly drew a portrait of Liu Lingling. Liu Lingling was wearing the same set of clothes he saw last night. Yu Xing tried his best to restore it based on his memory, even some of the All the patterns were painted on by him.

"Not found. No matter how Liu Lingling and Wang Guanshi quarreled before, Liu Lingling never exposed this person's identity, as if she was trying to protect him." Zhu Yan's voice became louder, "You doubt her death Was it the cheating partner? Then it must be proven that Liu Lingling had contact with the cheating partner that night..."

"I'm pretty sure." Yu Xing curled his lips and added a few strokes on the paper, "She was wearing a brand name that night and was about to go on a date with her cheating partner. But since you didn't mention this, I guess it's because the police failed to find out. Sexual contact before death was found on Liu Lingling’s body.”

 He finished the painting and held it upright with no emotion in his eyes.

On the screen, Liu Lingling's posture perfectly restored the way she stood there last night, but what Yu Xing was more concerned about was the expression on Liu Lingling's face after he drew it according to his memory.

Is that expectation, perfunctory, fear, or numbness?

neither.

 All the details that had not been noticed at a quick glance emerged at this time. Yu Xing observed the painting carefully and felt more and more that Liu Lingling's mood at that time was actually very strange.

This strange look appeared on the page, leaving Yu Xing silent for a while. Zhu Yan on the phone called him back after saying "Hey, hey, hey" several times: "How did you know she was wearing a famous brand that night? Her body was They were nearly naked when they were found, and even the only fabric they wore was confirmed to be from our school. The uniforms they wore didn't provide any information at all... Did you use special means to see it? "

"...Have the police not arranged the surveillance on the road leading to the door of my apartment?" Yu Xing found it a bit strange. In his impression, the criminal investigation detachment led by Han Jiang should not be so slow.

"Ah, I don't know. I haven't noticed the progress of their surveillance investigation." Zhu Yan said and reacted directly, "No way, did you see the deceased yesterday?"

"That's right." Yu Xing thought for a while and smiled, "I can testify if you need it."

"...You have said so. As a key witness in this case, it stands to reason that you must come." Zhu Yan lowered her voice, "But haven't you always stayed behind the scenes? Why are you willing to come into the police sight now? "

 "This matter..." Yu Xing could not hesitate.

 He has been hiding behind the scenes before because he doesn’t know how long it will take before he can enter the deduction game and find the actor.

If it takes a long, long time, then he will not be able to leave enough clues for future generations to discover his true identity in this information age.

 But now, no need.

 He ​​is already close to his goal. Maybe after completing this goal, he will not stay in this world for too long, and there is no need to hide it and make plans for the future.

 But these words are not easy to say to Zhu Yan. Who knows what will happen if Zhu Yan hears this.

“I’ll explain it to you later. In short, I can go to the police station as a witness to provide clues.” Yu Xing took a photo of the painting and sent it to Zhu Yan, “Take a look.”

 At this time, Zhu Yan was in Han Jiang's office.

Han Jiang went out, and she was alone. As the detachment leader's office, people would not come in and out at will, so it was a good place to make phone calls.

Zhu Yan squinted her eyes and looked at what Yu Xing sent, and her breath froze.

Although there is no color in the painting, just by looking at the lines, Zhu Yan can be sure that this is the Liu Lingling she sees in every club activity.

 Liu Lingling's expression is one that will make one's hair stand on end if you look closely. Therefore, Yu Xing really saw Liu Lingling at a critical moment yesterday.

But...how to explain the existence of Yu Xing to Han Jiang?

She had always hidden the person behind her scenes very well before. If Yu Xing was hurriedly overthrown in front of Han Jiang, with Han Jiang's keenness, he would definitely doubt how she discovered this potential witness.

 When the time comes to check again, her relationship with Yu Xing will naturally be exposed.

While Zhu Yan was thinking about this, the door behind her was opened.

Zhu Yan turned around while holding the phone and said hello with a smile: "Detachment Han, are you back?" Han Jiang straightened his shirt that had become slightly wrinkled due to the field visit, and his eyes just caught a glimpse of Zhu Yan's phone being hung up. One scene.

 His eyes changed subtly: "Well...who are you talking to on the phone?"

 “A friend.” Zhu Yan said very naturally, as if she was just chatting with a friend.

"Really?" Han Jiang is not that easy to fool. He has become so familiar with Zhu Yan that he has a better understanding of Zhu Yan's expression than ordinary people.

"Fake." Zhu Yan knew as soon as she heard it that Han Jiang might have heard a few words outside the door, and saw through her deliberate greeting to remind Yu Xing to hang up the phone.

Thinking of Yu Xing's attitude, Zhu Yan took a look at Han Jiang's face: "You seem to be in a good mood. Why don't you tell me first what good thing happened?"

"Wang Guanshi mentioned during the interrogation that he followed Liu Lingling last night. He was not willing to talk about it at first, haha." Han Jiang unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt to breathe, "He mentioned Mingchao Road, and we After watching the surveillance, I found that all the surveillance on Mingchao Road was affected by unknown factors last night, and the screen went black. "

"So, you can be sure that there are important clues on the road to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yan smiled, "Then Wang Guanshi should remember what Liu Lingling is wearing."

"It was too dark, and he was far away because he was afraid of being discovered. He said he didn't see clearly." Han Jiang wiped his face, "But the range is good news."

“This is indeed something to be happy about, so let me tell you something that might make you happier.”

Han Jiang raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl wearing a thick sweater who had taken off her down jacket on the back of his office chair and was blowing on the heating and air conditioning but still seemed to be afraid of the cold: "If you say that, I'm really looking forward to it. Yes. What's up?"

"Didn't you always guess that there was someone behind me?" Zhu Yan asked, then shook her phone, "The person behind me is willing to provide some clues. He witnessed Liu Lingling appearing on Mingchao Road and remembered what she was wearing at the time. ”

Han Jiang didn't know for a moment whether he should be surprised that an important clue was delivered to his door like this, or whether he should be surprised that the person behind Zhu Yan suddenly showed up.

"Where is he?" The next second, Han Jiang asked hurriedly, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it.

“He will be here in an hour.” Zhu Yan saw the message Yu Xing gave her and relayed it.

Han Jiang knew very well that if there was really someone hiding behind Zhu Yan, then this person would have helped their police force a lot and would not be an enemy.

“Then ask him to come to my office in an hour—”

 “Korean team!”

The door was not closed tightly, and before Han Jiang finished speaking, a police officer knocked on the door, his eyes shining with excitement: "Colleagues from the trace department have made new discoveries at the scene! They asked you to go there. Ah, the consultant is here too, why don’t you come with me?”

Han Jiang was happy for a moment: "That's great."

 I then remembered what I had not finished saying just now.

He looked at Zhu Yan and hesitated for a moment. His trust in Zhu Yan finally defeated his doubts about the person behind the scenes: "Then, let him go directly to the scene."

 …

 An hour later, Yu Xing appeared at the scene according to Zhu Yanfa’s position.

He was wearing a black down jacket with the fur collar he liked. He was holding lunch that he had not finished yet in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. The mask was pulled down to his chin.

 Under the gossipy gaze of the taxi driver, he got out of the car and walked towards an alley blocked by police cordons.

The deduction of the tomb he entered does not consume real time. It was still in the morning when he entered, so it was just after noon. Speaking of which, the police had just come into contact with this case less than twelve hours ago.

He took a look at the general environment of the alley from a distance. It was dirty, disorderly, and dilapidated, like a building that would be demolished at any time.

This place is a forty-minute drive from Yu Xing's apartment. He saw Liu Lingling on Mingchao Road, but Liu Lingling's body was found in this area that didn't even have a name, on the edge of the city. This was really strange. pile.

The police cordon separated the crime scene from the surrounding area into a clearly defined area. Policemen in police uniforms were working in the cordon. The body has been removed, but evidence collection at the scene is still in progress.

Few people pass by here. Occasionally, those who peek curiously are the only residents on both sides of the alley.

Yu Xing's arrival didn't alert anyone at first. It wasn't until he was chewing the last piece of food in his mouth, conjuring up two cups of milk tea, and trying to clear the cordon that the nearest police officer hurriedly stopped him: "Unrelated people." Don't come in!"

Perhaps he acted too leisurely and contentedly, and the little policeman didn’t even think of him as a suspicious person.

A little further away, Han Jiang, who was listening to what his colleagues in the trace department were saying, turned his head around. He had asked Zhu Yan a lot about the "people behind the scenes" on the way here, but Zhu Yan seemed determined to keep it secret this time. , he must find the answer himself.

Seeing that that person had such great intimidation and control over Zhu Yan, Han Jiang thought he would be Zhu Yan's teacher or elder.

So when he saw the young man standing calmly on the spot beside the cordon, opening a cup of milk tea and drinking it, he was a little stunned for a moment.

He waved his hands to the police officers: "You take these things for testing first, and I will deal with some things."

Han Jiang walked uncertainly, past the young police officer urging the young man to leave quickly, and stared at him for a long time: "Are you...?"

"Detachment Han, I have long admired you." Yu Xing showed a smile. It seemed that the face that should not appear here, but should appear on the big screen to amaze an entire era, was imprinted in Han Jiang's mind in an instant, bringing a certain kind of smile. The alarm bell rang, "It was clearly the Han detachment who called me here, why are they not allowed in?"

He raised the milk tea bag in his hand: "If I, an outsider, can't come in, please do me a favor and give the milk tea to Zhu Yan. She just told me that she wanted to drink it."

For some reason, Han Jiang felt in this person the kind of haziness and danger that only the ultimate criminal would have. Just like he never thought that the person behind Zhu Yan was so young, he never thought that he could actually see the characteristics of a criminal in this person the first time he saw him.

 But Yu Xing undoubtedly proved his identity.

"Zhu Yan asked you to bring it, it's better for you to give it to her yourself, otherwise she will probably be disappointed. How can an uncle like me be better than a boyfriend." Obviously, Han Jiang regarded Yu Xing as Zhu Yan had never The boyfriend he mentioned before, because he couldn't think of any reason other than the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend that could make Zhu Yan blindly trust this person.

Yu Xing shrugged: "Not my boyfriend."

 Speaking, he successfully set off the cordon and entered the scope of the case.

Han Jiang gave a fairly natural smile: "What do you call it?"
