Talk About The Case

Chapter 42: Good boy

Time flies quickly, and one week of mobile medical care in Li Village has ended successfully. During this period of time, the medical staff became acquainted with the people in the village. Although the time is not long, in just one week, they seem to have known friends for a long time.

So at this moment, when everyone was about to leave, they all felt a little reluctant.

Before they got on the bus, Cheng Yan stood beside Tang Jianhui, looking at the horizon, he said: "After today, I don't know when I will come back again. I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant to be here. I was thinking, if it were me No longer working in the city, maybe I will come back here and continue to serve the people in the village."

Tang Jianhui said: "Although there are memories of our childhood here, I still like cities in comparison."

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Cheng Yan, and then said: "Okay, let's go, we will go back now."

Seeing his tall back figure hidden into the bus, Cheng Yan walked over. He looked back again at the group of children who had been sending them, and shouted at them: "I will come back to see you again! Goodbye!"

the other side. .

After Lin Xin got the clues of the picture, she looked through the receipts and found several shops selling puzzles produced by'Chengsong'. She decided to check in person again to see if there was any CCTV that could find the murderer. trace.

Several days have passed, and the hope of identifying the murderer seems to be getting dwindled. As time goes by, the clues and traces left behind will become more and more blurred, or even disappear.

Therefore, she can no longer delay.

She called Mei Hua and Yang Cong to her side and said, "Mei Hua, these receipts are shops selling'Chengsong' puzzles. We will go back to investigate together later. Cong Tou, there are some shops in Yang City that we can't go to. , Please discuss with Xiaojie and Sakura, let’s check it again. However, this time we will narrow down the scope, because the murderer seems to love the puzzle produced by'Chengmatsu'. So as long as there is a store that sells this puzzle , You should check it carefully."

After Yang Cong accepted the order, she went to make arrangements.

Lin Xin and Meihua shuttled through the shops in Yang City according to the receipts. They inquired one by one and even asked the merchants to open the latest CCTV records to see what was suspicious, but they often returned disappointed.

According to the closed-circuit television of the merchants found, in the last month, those who came to the store to buy puzzles belonged to families. Sometimes parents brought their children to buy them, sometimes a couple of a man and a woman came to buy them. This homicide has nothing to do with it.

As for the picture of only one child purchasing the puzzle separately, it is not shown in the recent CCTV records.

Lin Xin had the last receipt in her hand, and she said to Meihua: "Let's take a bet, maybe this last one can find anything."

Meihua nodded, and the two came to the designated store according to the address of the receipt.

This shop is simpler than others, and the one who sells puzzles is an old man in his sixties. Lin Xin walked up to her old man and revealed her identity as a police officer. She asked: "Hello old man, we are from the Federal Police Department in Yang City. We would like to ask if there is anyone here who is between six and nine years old recently. Children come to buy puzzles alone?"

The old uncle looked at the two of them, and said: "A police officer came to us to inquire that day. It's just that I have a lot of customers here every day. There are children who come here, but I haven't seen them alone. I saw it, how would I know which one you are talking about?"

Lin Xin continued to ask: "Old man, do you have a closed-circuit TV here?"

The old man said, "We don't have any CCTV or anything. Our shop is considered an old store. My wife and I are just doing a small business here, and we don't install CCTV or anything."

Lin Xin heard him say so, with a disappointed expression on her face, she said: "Okay, then it's okay, it's a waste of your time, thank you."

Just as Lin Xin stepped out of the store, an old woman in the store shouted: "Old man! What are you talking about! When you were away that day, a child came to buy it!"

The old man’s voice also exclaimed: "Ouch! How can I know if you don’t tell me?!"

Lin Xin stopped immediately. She rushed into the store and asked the old man and his wife: "Are there really kids here?!"

The old woman said: "Of course. It was so late that day, the old man went out to play mahjong with others, and when I was about to close, a little boy happened to come over."

When Lin Xin heard her say this, she immediately took out a photo from her pocket. It was a photo she printed out after going through the mosaic. She asked: "Auntie, did you say the child was wearing this dress that day? ?"

When Lin Xin asked this sentence, her voice trembled a little.

Although she had used the computer to make a mosaic beforehand, when she saw this picture, she still shocked the old woman.

The old woman patted her chest. She carefully looked at the clothes of the corpse in the photo and said: "Yes, this child was wearing this dress at the time."

After hearing this, Lin Xin took the photo of the second corpse from her pocket and asked, "So, what about this one? Have you seen this one?"

The old woman tilted her head and said, "I haven't seen this before. I wonder if the old man has seen it."

As she said that, she opened her throat and shouted, "Old man, come here for me!"

The old man replied from a distance, walked over to them, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The old woman patted him and said, "Come and see, have you seen this child?"

When the old man looked at the photo, he said, "Is this kid? I haven't seen it before, and I can't remember the clothes..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old woman gave him a push and said, "Just you don't know anything."

The old man was still waiting to speak, but the old woman ignored him, and said to Lin Xin and Meihua: "He doesn't remember these clothes or anything. He is not as careful as our women."

Lin Xin smiled and said, "Okay, then we know. However, we would like to ask if this kid did anything suspicious when he came to buy puzzles?"

The old woman thought for a while and said, "That's not true. However, this child is a little thin and can't speak very well. When I asked his parents, he just shook his head and said nothing. But, The child is amazing, and he gave the correct amount when he paid."

Lin Xin said, "Perhaps someone behind the child has instructed him. By the way, is he the only one to come over?"

The old woman said, "It looks like a person is coming. I asked him if he wanted to sit in the house, but he shook his head. Moreover, he didn't say much the whole time, just shook his head or nodded. Then, I remembered. I looked around, but I didn't see any adults nearby. It seems that he really came here alone."

Lin Xin asked again: "When did he come to buy the puzzle?"

The old woman thought for a while and said, "That is, the first three days of the National Day or the four days before it."

Lin Xin said: "Okay, then we know, thank you very much."

After all, she and Mei Hua returned to the car.

Lin Xin buckled her seat belt and said, "The first child discovered did come to this shop and bought a puzzle. However, according to the description of the local police, they had not seen any puzzle on the riverside of Wangcun Village. , The murderer must have hidden the whole picture."

Mei Hua said: "Sister Lin, this is a reward. But, they all said that they had never seen the second child, so did the murderer go to another house?"

Lin Xin said with a "huh" and said: "The murderer is very likely to buy the puzzle from another house. Moreover, if they were bought at the same house, then it would be easy to reveal their whereabouts. The murderer's mind is very delicate and smart. I will never send children to the same store to buy puzzles."

Lin Xin turned on the engine. It was already close to dusk. She looked around and saw that this place was also some distance away from the city. She suddenly remembered something and asked: "Meihua, you help me check with my mobile phone, how far is it from the riverside of Wangcun?"

Meihua listened to her words and immediately took out her mobile phone from her pocket to check it out. She said, "It's only 15 kilometers away from here."

Lin Xin said: "It's very close. That means that after the murderer asked the child to buy the puzzle, he took it directly to the riverside of Wangcun, and then killed him in a very short time. This means that he only gave a child three to four. Jigsaw it in days, and then kill it. Hmph, this guy is like a devil, deliberately embarrassing a child. If the child can't be completed in a short time, maybe he will be tortured."

Mei Hua said with air: "If the murderer is really caught, I really want to slash him a thousand times!"

Lin Xin said, "Let's talk about it when we catch the murderer, we will go back. I don't know if there is any news from the onion. By the way, since the child has really appeared in the store, I think we must let the merchants in Yang City pay attention. Now, if any children show up alone, let them notify the police, and I will also inform Officer Chen of the local police station later and ask him to send more police officers to garrison."

Meihua said, "Well, what Sister Lin said is."

After discussing for a while, the two drove away.

The wind was blowing slowly at night, and a seven or eight-year-old child walked on a quiet street on the street. He happily bought a puzzle. He remembered that the person said to him not long ago: "Come, let's play a jigsaw puzzle. If you win, I will take you to the playground and take you ice cream by the way. Whatever you want, I will Here you are. But if you lose, then... I have to take you back to your parents and never come to the city again, okay?"

The child thought that whether he won or lost, he wouldn't seem to suffer, so he clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay!"

Then, the man gave him money and took out a picture of a jigsaw puzzle to remind himself of the pattern in the picture, and ordered him to buy a jigsaw puzzle with this pattern in a nearby store. He only thinks that this trip to the city is extremely fun. If he goes back to where he lived before, he can still show off to his friends there.

When the child thought about this, a black shadow came out from the darkness. The child saw the black shadow and ran over immediately, and then asked: "Does what you said just now counts?"

The man touched the child's head and smiled: "Of course it counts. But, did you remember what I taught you just now?"

The child proudly said: "Of course I remember! The uncles and aunts in the store are kind to me. They keep asking where my parents are. I just shook my head and didn't speak! Then they asked me if I was accompanied by an adult. I don't say anything."

The man took the child to a dark corner, knelt down and asked, "Do you want me to be your father?"

The child looked at his gentle face and said, "I think... But, I already have a father."

The man smiled and said: "Then I will be your godfather. You have a father here, and a father where you originally live, okay?"

The child thought for a while and said, "It seems to be good too. But. The person who took me to leave me in the restaurant yesterday was very bad to me. That person kept beating me, scolding me, and biting me, and I also bit the man. Then the man said he was going to the bathroom, but he didn't come back, and then I met you."

"Then we won't see that person again, okay?"

The child smiled and said, "Okay! Okay!"

The man raised his mouth and said softly, "Good boy."
