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

Yuan Che was catching up with them to enlarge the surveillance footage they found.

The person in the picture this time is also wearing a bathing suit, but this person is obviously more panicked. He almost ran into passers-by a few times, and obviously did not avoid the surveillance. In a frozen frame, the money on the ID card can be clearly seen Dashi's face.

Several people watched the video with bated breath and followed Qian Dazhi's figure.

I saw Qian Dazhi enter the shopping mall through the door on the west side, and ran up the escalator to the second floor almost without hesitation.Turned around twice at the stairs as if to judge the direction, then ran straight to the east side.

In this way, I watched one monitor after another, and found the monitor on the easternmost side all the way. Qian Dazhi entered the bathroom on the easternmost side. The time displayed on the monitor was [-]:[-].

Along the way, he just stopped in front of some shops, looked around and continued walking east until he entered the bathroom, without going to other places.

Because it is also near the edge of the bathroom, there are obviously not so many shops and pedestrians around. After that, only a man in a dark blue suit and a hat, a pair of lovers in couple clothes, and a man in a The students in school uniform entered the bathroom one after another, and came out again after a while.

He also did not see Qian Dazhi reappearing.

Liu Hecheng hastily asked the operator to stop the screen on the man in the dark blue suit. He pointed to the screen and asked Liu Lingling next to him: "Before monitoring the emergency door, a person wearing the same clothes appeared."

Liu Lingling nodded, and looked closely at the person in the picture.

Yuan Che noticed that the security guards beside him were whispering to each other, and hurriedly asked: "This suit looks like work clothes, is it from your mall?"

The security guard hurriedly glanced at the man in the shirt, made a gesture of nodding, and replied ambiguously: "Yes, it looks like it. It's quite similar to the clothes worn by the people in the mechanical room."

Yuan Che glanced at the person in charge who had been pursing his lips and saying nothing. At this time, Liu Lingling pointed to the hand of the person holding the hat in the picture and said, "Ah Cheng, do you think his sleeves have become shorter?"

Ke Ran stood up straight with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Not only is he short, he is also very careful. There is also that student who didn't wear earphones when he went in, and put a big earphone on his head when he came out; Paused for a while, the neck seemed to have a stiff neck, it kept lowering, it seemed like it wanted to raise its head but didn't dare to raise it, and when it came out, it shook its head again, as if there was nothing wrong with it."

"It's true when you say that." Liu Hecheng played the video again, and the more he watched it, the more it looked like what Ke Ran said.

Yuan Che called the person in charge aside and said something in a low voice, then interrupted the discussion of several people: "Acheng and Lingling stayed and kept watching to see where these two people went. Also, the manager Go through the information given to you carefully. Ke Ran, follow me."

In view of the embarrassment in the men's bathroom just now, it would be better for Yuan Che to find someone less embarrassing to follow.

"Screening? What are you looking for?" Ah Cheng raised his voice and asked Yuan Che, who had already left the house, but Liu Lingling dragged him over and whispered something in his ear. Only then did Liu Hecheng understand, and then looked at Yuan Che with questioning eyes. Looking at Liu Lingling: "When did he tell you?"

When Ke Ran went out, he heard Liu Hecheng groaning in pain, and was slapped by Wuzhi.

They trotted all the way to the bathroom where Qian Dazhijin was under surveillance.

It had been nearly two hours since Qian Dazhi disappeared. By this time, the murderer had probably taken Qian Dazhi out of the city, or had already started.

Thinking of being a beat slower than the murderer every time, Yuan Che's desire to win was greatly stimulated, and he couldn't help speeding up his pace.

The shopping mall, which had been bustling all day, finally returned to calm. The escalator, which was overcrowded just now, is now empty, probably because they are still there, and the escalator has not been closed yet.

Yuan Che went down to the second floor in a few steps, turned to the right, looked at the spiral building and the empty central hall, heard Ke Ran's footsteps behind him, and asked without turning his head: "If you are a suspect? , Why did you go to such lengths to do this trick of making a fool of yourself?"

Ke Ran followed Yuan Che closely, and chuckled lightly when he heard his question.Yuan Che couldn't help but look back at Ke Ran behind him, not understanding why he was laughing.

Ke Ran hurriedly walked, but said in a casual tone: "Didn't you say that he was just trying to delay the time other than to cover up people's eyes and ears. It means that he couldn't take Qian Dazhi away immediately at that time, and he needed to delay the time for people to find out that he had existed as much as possible. A man wearing a If an inappropriate person enters the mall, he will definitely be noticed by the security guards. He did this because he didn't want others to find Qian Dazhi first. So, maybe, Qian Dazhi is still here somewhere. If he really works for the mall personnel, this possibility is even greater.”

Yuan Che looked up at the sign in the bathroom. Hearing what Ke Ran said, he walked a little slower. He couldn't help but glanced at the closed businesses on both sides. The neon lights of a martial arts teacher were still flashing. : "The monitoring here is so intensive, and the clerk's eyes are like monkeys. It's not easy for him to hide an overly frightened person here. Unless..."

In front of him was the bathroom where Qian Dazhi was hiding. Yuan Che stopped at the entrance, stopped in the middle of his sentence, and looked at an exit on the right side of the bathroom that said emergency exit.Yuan Che hesitated for a moment and went into the bathroom first.

As soon as they turned in, Liu Lingling called. Yuan Che casually clicked on the speakerphone and handed the phone to Ke Ran. He took a cursory look at the bathroom. It was the same layout as the previous bathroom, only slightly smaller.

Liu Lingling said on the phone: "There is indeed a problem with those two people. Instead of taking the escalator and elevator, they went down the stairs to the second basement floor and turned in, and then disappeared!"

Yuan Che was looking up at the place above the bathroom door close to the roof, and there was no emotion on Liu Lingling's face when he heard Liu Lingling say this.

This was expected, the camera was broken at this time, and there happened to be no parts, everything was a coincidence.

He approached the door panel, faced the wall and continued thoughtfully: "From the place where they disappeared on the second floor, check all the vehicles within 20 meters around." He paused, squinted his eyes and looked towards a corner before continuing : "That student, if Li Daitao is stiff, he will always come out. Have you seen him? Find a way to find him."

As he said that, Yuan Che waved his hand at Ke Ran, opened the toilet, stepped on the edge of the toilet, stood up straight and stretched out his hand to reach the corner, and when he came down again, there was an extra red thread in his hand.

The red thread looks like it was ripped from the red satin. The red and brown door panels are similar in color, so it's hard to spot if you don't look carefully.

Liu Lingling paused for a while and said: "Come out, an hour later, that is, when we were searching the mall." Hearing a bang on the phone, it seemed that two people were frightened, and Liu Lingling said angrily: "He Passed by a security guard, what is the name of this security guard? Are you still in the mall now?" Liu Lingling raised her voice and asked the people next to her, and she vaguely heard someone say something like this.

Yuan Che handed the red thread to Ke Ran: "What circumstances do you think allow this red thread to appear in such a position?"

Ke Ran twisted the red thread to check the length: "This is torn from something about this long. Do you think this thing is related to Qian Dazhi?"

Yuan Che pushed open the bathroom door: "That location, no one's clothes should have been scraped off." He pushed open the door next to him and scanned it carefully: "Why do you think that person has to choose a shopping mall? I remember that this shopping mall opened When I was in the city, I used to advertise, claiming to be the most monitored place in the city, so that pickpockets have absolutely nowhere to hide."

Cooperating with Yuan Che's speed, Ke Ran went fast and then slowed down, stopping and turning around the bathroom: "Because he is from here, he is familiar with the environment and can find loopholes. Also, there is a lot of traffic here, if there is something It’s easier to hide than on the street, and it’s less conspicuous.”

Yuan Che stopped when he walked to the exit after watching a circle. Ke Ran bumped into his shoulder and stopped.It's not normal to rear-end at such a slow speed.Yuan Che turned his head, instead of looking at Ke Ran, he looked at the bathroom he had just come out of.The bathroom door here is at least two meters long. If you don't look up, no one will notice the door. He asked Ke Ran thoughtfully, "Why did Qian Dazhi think of calling the police after he ran here? No, he didn't know there was nowhere to escape until he got here?"

Ke Ran scratched his nose, then followed Yuan Che to look at the door panel, then took Yuan Che's hand and looked at the red line on it:

"You mean, the suspect set up a trap to lure Qian Dazhi here layer by layer, and then threatened him with death. Cat and mouse?"

Yuan Che looked around, followed the route of the man in a suit in the video, and turned to the emergency exit: "This can explain why Qian Dazhi called the police ten minutes after entering here, calculate the time, and call the police The time coincides with the time when the man in overalls entered the bathroom. But if it was the suspect who cut off Qian Dazhi's phone at that time, why did Qian Dazhi voluntarily change his clothes and leave with the suspect?"

Ke Ran stretched out his hand in front of the iron gate of the tube well and patted it. Hearing the echo, there was not much room inside. He followed Yuan Che and said, "Because Qian Dazhi has never seen the murderer. This person has not been with him since they were threatened." Qian Dazhi didn't even talk to him directly, so Qian Dazhi believed in him, so he went with him. Then how did this person threaten Qian Dazhi?"

In the empty and spacious stairwell, the footsteps echoed. The stairs were not sensor lights. They were brightly lit all the way. Yuan Che took two steps and stopped, as if thinking of something, he immediately shook his head and continued to run downstairs:

"You're right, Qian Dazhi has never met the murderer, but he knows him."

This is contradictory, but Ke Ran understands: "Not only do I know each other, but I also don't feel strange that the murderer is here at this time. He will wear this suit and pretend to be a coincidence. Let alone whether he is here or not." Working here, it is this clothes that can hide the heart of the murderer."

Yuan Che pushed open the iron door leading to the second basement floor and looked at the winding underground parking lot, and let out a long breath.

In such a large parking lot, it would be too easy to hide a person.Yuan Che dialed Liu Lingling's phone number and asked him the course of action for the two of them after they entered the underground. Here, he suddenly wrote the text: "So this is what that student is for. He made Qian Dazhi believe that he asked that student to change clothes temporarily." of."

The parking lot is now empty. Ke Ran looked left and right, searching for a corner where he could hide: "Is he not afraid that we will find that student and expose him?"

Yuan Che put the phone close to his ear and listened carefully, then turned to the right: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Most of the school uniforms of middle school students in the city are blue and white. The subtle difference is the school name on the chest. It’s all about finding a boy in more than 30 middle schools, haha.”

Ke Ran raised his eyebrows and cast a questioning look, but in the end he still didn't ask Yuan Che: Since we all know that finding someone is difficult, why did you ask Liu Lingling to find someone?
