The daily life of a double-faced rookie and an awkward old detective

Yuan Che ignored him, and said to Ke Ran: "Stay here and watch. Lingling and I will go to the bathroom with you."

The man in the shirt was completely ignored. He turned his head and glanced at the employees who were snickering behind him: "What are you laughing at? Let's take a look again. We didn't find out that he disappeared from our place. Is it dereliction of duty?" He sneered at the immature little policeman looking at the surveillance camera in a decent manner, and snorted through his nose.

Ke Ran seemed not to have heard his words, tilted his head slightly, and repeatedly checked the surveillance.

Yuan Che strode to the escalator, looked around and asked Liu Lingling, "Didn't the trace inspection department find any useful information?"

Liu Lingling shook her head: "I guess there is."

"What does it mean to have it?" Yuan Che asked dissatisfied.

Liu Lingling hurriedly said: "On the doorknob of one compartment of the bathroom, only the fingerprints of two people were found, while in the other compartments, one fingerprint covered the other and could no longer be identified. Therefore, the doorknob of the bathroom should have been wiped by someone. .And it was not cleaned by the cleaners, otherwise it would be impossible to wipe only one doorknob."

Yuan Che turned down the escalator and quickened his pace in the direction Liu Lingling pointed: "Do you think a panicked person would be in the mood to hide his fingerprints? Besides, he doesn't need to hide his fingerprints."

Long-legged Liu Lingling quickened her pace to catch up with Yuan Che: "Then, why was this fingerprint wiped off? Was it wiped by the person who took Qian Dazhi away?"

Seeing the sign of the restroom, they were pulled on the isolation belt at the two exits, and two pedestrians looked at the sign of suspension of use and went straight to the next restroom.

Turning aside the isolation belt and turning in, Yuan Che said: "Now our fingerprint database is not fully covered. If he wiped his own fingerprints, there are two possibilities. It’s because I’m afraid of being verified later.”

Liu Lingling followed Yuan Che into the men's bathroom, and met a man with glasses.

Immediately, Liu Lingling's expression darkened and she said sharply: "Didn't you see that the service is suspended here?" She was fine if she didn't speak, but when she spoke, the man with glasses froze for a second.

It was probably the first time the man with glasses saw a woman in the men's bathroom, and his face turned red: "I, I'm really in a hurry. I'm leaving now."

Seeing that the man almost hit the door frame when he left, Liu Lingling held back her laughter and turned her head and said, "Even so, it still can't explain how he took Qian Dazhi away."

The toilet partitions are made of brown stripes, and each toilet door corresponds to a sink, and the monitor above the mirror of the sink is playing a cosmetics advertisement.

This bathroom has only two cubicles, and the space is much smaller than other bathrooms.

Liu Lingling walked to the inner door and pushed it open.

Probably because of the relationship on the inside, this space has one more corner than the other, which can accommodate three or four people standing in it at the same time.

This can be read at a glance, Yuan Che glanced up, down, left, and right, then closed his eyes.He imagined that he was a frightened person, and the first thing he did when he entered the bathroom was to close the bathroom door and turn the lock.Then he approached the innermost corner, looked at the door, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

After Yuan Che took out his mobile phone, he paused for a moment, with doubts in his eyes: "Ah Cheng said that Qian Dazhi came directly from the train station. If he was afraid of being followed by the murderer, if he knew someone was going to kill him, why didn't he go directly to The police station called the police? At that time, he was on the road in a large crowd. No matter how daring the murderer was, he would not dare to kill in the street. And there are so many buildings on the road, so many places to hide, why did he come to this shopping mall? Here is the second Floor. If he really went into the bathroom to escape, why didn't he hide in the bathroom on the first floor?"

Driven by this question, Liu Lingling lost focus for a moment and then stared at Yuan Che: "So, he didn't come in to avoid it, but for other reasons?" She waved her finger in the air twice and added: "It's the murderer." , the murderer has been giving him instructions to let him in."

Yuan Che asked again: "If he knew from the beginning that his life was threatened, why was he so obedient when he could get rid of it? Why did he suddenly want to get rid of the murderer and call the police?"

Liu Lingling showed a puzzled expression again, and shook her head after contemplating for a while: "So obedient, is he being deterred by the person who threatened him?"

Yuan Che looked at a mirror on the stone platform behind the toilet, straightened his collar and said, "Or, the murderer gave him an illusion that he could survive if he obeyed."

Liu Lingling said: "It may also be that Qian Dazhi knew the skills of the person who threatened his life, so he obediently obeyed."

Just as he was talking, Yuan Che's cell phone rang. It was a voice call request from Gu Huayu's WeChat group chat, and the person who requested it pulled all three groups into it.

Yuan Che signaled Liu Lingling to accept the invitation.

After a while of confusion, Gu Huayu began to report the results of the investigation in the bathing center at the speed of a high-speed train.

In his words, Qian Dazhi's behavior can only be described with a strange word.

Qian Dazhi's family arrived at the bathing center at 26:24 p.m. on the [-]th.But because the bathing center is open [-] hours, and the payment is made after bathing first, as long as it does not involve opening a room or going to the rest hall, there is no need to register ID card information.

The staff said that Qian Dazhi's face was gloomy at the time, and he seemed extremely impatient when receiving the number plate, as if he was out for entertainment.

An hour later, Qian Lang came out of the exit in a hurry, saying that he was in a hurry, and settled his own account, which was paid in cash.The monitoring in the parking lot showed that he went to the parking lot, chatted with a man next to his car, and then sat in the passenger seat.The man was wearing a hat and couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure looked a lot like Qian Dazhi.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Zuo Ling also left. She dressed up carefully when she left, and she was always smiling on the surveillance camera.She took a taxi directly after leaving the bathing center. According to the driver's description, she got off near the suburbs.He was still wondering what a woman was doing there in the middle of the night, and she stopped there for a while.Until she saw an off-road vehicle approaching and stopped beside her for a while, she said something to the people in the vehicle, and then got into the vehicle.The driver left at ease, but it was a pity that he didn't check the color and license plate of the off-road vehicle clearly in the dark.

After that, until about two o'clock in the morning, Qian Dazhi suddenly made a scene in the fire dragon bath, cursing loudly, waking up several guests who were resting there, and almost started a fight.However, according to the staff at the time, his expression was so frightening that the guests who had been quarreled with him hid in the end, thinking that he was out of his mind.

Then he searched back and forth in the whole center twice, asking anyone he saw if he saw his son.The commotion alarmed the person in charge on duty, and he suggested that Qian Dazhi make a phone call, or simply call the police.

According to the description of the manager on duty, Qian Dazhi looked at him as if he saw a monster, then he fell silent and stopped looking for anyone. He hid in a corner by himself and drove away the staff who came to care. Do not let them come near.

The staff wanted to call the police, but because Qian Dazhi was a regular customer here, and the manager on duty was worried that the trouble would affect the business, he asked them to pay more attention to him.

On the second day, the staff of Fire Dragon Bath didn't see Qian Dazhi again and thought he had left.Unexpectedly, at noon on the third day, Qian Dazhi suddenly appeared again, ran all the way from the men's bath into the lobby, and rushed out of the bathing center disheveled, without paying, still wearing the clothes and slippers of the bathing center.

Surveillance showed him walking around the parking lot, as if looking for a car.When stopped by the people in the bathing center, he pushed people away violently, with amazing strength.

Based on time calculations, he should have gone home directly to look for things after that.

Yuan Che leaned against the bright and tidy toilet door, listening to Gu Huayu's investigation results, tapping the door irregularly with his fingers.

The report here is not over yet, two "violators" who ignored the forbidden sign ran in with hurried footsteps, the door next to it was opened, one person entered, and the other came and pulled Yuan Che's door , without pulling.

The people outside seemed to be in a hurry: "Damn, there are people inside. Hurry up, I can't hold back."

Liu Lingling stood next to Yuan Che with her mobile phone in her hand, and blushed when she heard the sound of splashing water coming from the next door.

No matter how much she looks like a female man, she is still a woman after all, so it's fine to share a room with a man in the men's bathroom, and to endure this kind of "torture" is embarrassing besides embarrassing.

Yuan Che was originally standing sideways, while concentrating on listening to Gu Huayu's non-breathing report, while making eye contact with Liu Lingling from time to time.

Now there are two more people who are urgent to urinate, not to mention Liu Lingling, even the thick-skinned Yuan Che has a lot of embarrassment. He turned his back to Liu Lingling, moved his footsteps, and stood far away from Liu Lingling , leave some space for her.

The other side of the phone didn't know Yuan Che's situation at the moment. Gu Huayu finally finished his report, took a breath, and Ke Ran spoke again:

"On the night Zuo Ling and the others were murdered, Qian Dazhi searched for his son everywhere, indicating that the murderer did not disclose that the two had been murdered, but only revealed that they were in his hands. Qian Dazhi knew that his son had fallen into the hands of the murderer, so he did not call the police. See It turned out that he was threatened by the murderer. Two questions, why didn’t the murderer tell Qian Dazhi that the two are dead? And what did Qian Dazhi do that made him dare not even call the police?”

The people in the next room seemed to have been holding back for a long time, and it was only now that it was coming to an end. The person outside the door was already impatient and knocked on the door frequently: "Hurry up, I need to pee."

Ke Ran's voice stopped for a moment, and he immediately asked, "You, are you still in the bathroom?" During the speech, it seemed that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh blatantly, Yuan Che said angrily, "Ah Cheng, help me He punches."

The people outside the door couldn't help but come over and ask, "Brother, if you're done, come out quickly and don't occupy public resources?"

Yuan Che looked at Liu Lingling, then knocked on the door: "It's not over." Just kidding, can I go out at this time?

Yuan Che's knock on the door suddenly stopped in mid-air, staring at the door in front of him, his brows furrowed, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"No, Qian Dazhi hasn't been here before." After speaking, he unlocked the door and opened it.Outside the door, a young man in his twenties was covering his trousers with his hands, and was about to squeeze in, but was scared by Liu Lingling who came out behind Yuan Che, and almost tripped him.He leaned on the wall with his hands in danger, and stared at the eloquent Liu Lingling.

Yuan Che walked out of the bathroom, pulled off the isolation tape, and walked to the monitoring room while telling Ke Ran: "Check the monitoring of all the bathrooms at the time before Qian Dazhi called the police."

"What did you see?" Liu Lingling asked behind her.

Yuan Che didn't answer, but instead asked Liu Lingling: "Did the cleaner say that there was a sound from the door during the time he was cleaning here?"

Liu Lingling recalled and said: "He didn't say there was a sound inside. He entered the bathroom at 6:06 and cleaned it for about 30 minutes before leaving. Qian Dazhi called the police at [-]:[-]. No problem."

Yuan Che explained: "If it was Qian Dazhi who was in the bathroom at the time the cleaner said, given his state of panic at the time, it was impossible for him to remain silent. As long as someone enters the bathroom, there will be more or less sound."

Liu Lingling immediately understood: "So, when the cleaning is here, there is no one inside the door?"

Yuan Che said: "Even if there is someone, it is not Qian Dazhi. He deliberately does not let people notice that there are people inside, and is careful not to make any noise."

Liu Lingling remembered the embarrassing scene and suddenly realized: "It's like we were inside just now!" But immediately there was another question: "It's not Qian Dazhi, it's the murderer? What is he doing here? That person in a bathing suit is who?"

Yuan Che didn't answer, but ran up the escalator, and asked in a hurry: "Ke Ran, did you find anything strange when you watched that surveillance video?"

Ke Ran replied with a smile: "How do you know? The person in the bathing suit never exposed his face to the surveillance from the beginning to the end, as if he was deliberately avoiding surveillance."

Liu Lingling caught up with Yuan Che, who looked like a race walker, and said with a little shortness of breath, "Is he doing this just to make us think that Qian Dazhi is here?"

Yuan Che didn't answer, but Ke Ran replied for him: "The murderer is making a fuss."

The shopping mall was already playing music for the closing of business, and the upward elevator was empty. Yuan Che ran up to the fourth floor in three steps, two steps at a time. He still breathed smoothly and replied:

"And it's just delaying time."

At this time, Liu Hecheng, who had been silent all this time, shouted excitedly: "I found it! Sure enough, there is another one!"
