Hunt down

Fu Li and Chen Yu looked at the surveillance cameras at the bus station first, but the two surveillance cameras they had obtained respectively before were unable to see anything clearly because of the heavy rain and the broken street lights.Then only the driving recorder is left.

Fortunately, the small shop opposite the van was not closed that night, which helped a lot.Fu Li and Chen Yu adjusted the time to around 9 o'clock that night, and began to wait for Fan Xiaofang to appear on the screen.

After watching it for about half an hour, a figure running in a hurry suddenly appeared on the right side of the screen where there was no one around. Fu Li and Chen Yu put up 120 points of energy to watch the next thing.

As Wang Guifen said, Fan Xiaofang ran into her shop in a hurry.Fortunately, the driving recorder can capture a part of the Malatang shop, and can roughly see that the door is opened, and Fan Xiaofang walked in.

When Fan Xiaofang was asking Wang Guifen for help in the store, Fu Li suddenly noticed a black shadow moving in the lower right corner of the surveillance video.The range was very small, and because the place was in a blind spot of light, it was difficult to see clearly, Fu Li kept staring at the shadow.

"They came out." Chen Yu said.

Just as Wang Guifen closed the store, the two walked in the other direction for about 10 seconds, and the black shadow began to move towards them slowly.At this moment, Chen Yu also noticed the figure, and he and Fu Li stared at the shadow in tacit understanding.

The man was wearing a baseball cap, and when he walked through the light, he found that he was wearing all black.Judging from his stature, he was a young man, about 20 years old, and he deliberately lowered the brim of his hat when he walked in front of the open shop.

Just as he was walking past that shop, a person walked across from him. That person was looking down at his mobile phone, and bumped into a suspicious man walking with his head down on purpose. They had a conversation for about 5 seconds. See.

After that, the person looking at the phone seemed to have said something to him, and then walked forward.But the suspicious man stared at him behind his back for a while.

"That person... looks familiar." Chen Yu pointed to the person looking at the phone and said.

"Rewind." Fu Li rewinded a little while speaking, and paused the screen when the person looking at the phone looked up.

"Does this person look like Mr. Song, the owner of that big hotel?"

Fu Li magnified the picture a little more, then called up Song Nai's personal profile and compared the faces, confirming that it was Song Nai.

"Sister Li, Mr. Song may have seen the murderer's face." Chen Yu sat up straight and looked at Fu Li, "Then the murderer chose Mr. Song's room because he probably wanted to kill him." Do you want to start?"

Fu Li didn't think much, took out her mobile phone and dialed Zhou Jiming's number. Now Song Nai is the only person who is closest and capable.

Zhao Jie, who was on duty in the hotel tonight, had her menstrual period ahead of schedule, she fell off the bed in pain, woke up the person on the other bed, and hurried to find Song Nai.There is no medicine in the hotel that can relieve such physical pain, so Song Nai simply drove to the pharmacy to buy it.

However, although there are many rich people in Lizhong District, the pharmacy is still arrogant, and closes at midnight, and no one will open it. Only "Lizhong University Pharmacy" will be open until 2 o'clock in the morning.

But "Li Zhongda Pharmacy" is three streets away from Xihua Road, and it takes half an hour to drive. The little policeman said that Song Nai had already walked for more than ten minutes, and it should be almost here by now.

Zhou Jiming's location is farther than Xihua Road, and he has to make another detour.On the way, he asked the little policeman to ask the people in the hotel for Song Nai's contact information.

The first call was rejected.

Still refused the second time.

Zhou Jiming guessed the reason, the time was too late, and the call came from an unfamiliar number, so Song Nai's kind of "don't get close to strangers" would not answer the call easily.

Zhou Jiming continued to call, and it was connected after two echoes, and a vigilant and tentative voice came from the other side, "Who is there?"

"I, Zhou Jiming."

"Captain Zhou, is there anything wrong with calling so late?" Song Nai's voice was visibly relaxed.

"Where are you now?"

"Are you approaching the Lizhong University Pharmacy?" Song Nai was silent for a short while, and suddenly his voice raised a little, "Is something wrong with the hotel?"

"No, nothing happened to the hotel. Let me tell you, don't go anywhere after you buy medicine at the pharmacy, wait for me there!"

There was no reply from Song Nai for a long time.

"Mr. Song? Are you listening?"

"Have you found anything?"

"Now I can't tell for a while on the phone. I'm still driving, Boss Song. Please worry about our mutual lives, okay? We can talk about it after we meet, okay? Anyway, Boss Song, you just Wait for me at the big pharmacy, don't go anywhere by yourself, do you hear me?"

There was another silence on Song Nai's side, Zhou Jiming was so anxious that he wanted to curse.

A sigh came from the phone, "I see."

Then the phone was hung up.

Hearing the disconnection sound of "beep beep" in the receiver, Zhou Jiming was bored alone.

"That's... disrespectful!"

The weather forecast said that there will be rain in the early morning, so the weather is sweltering hot right now, and Zhou Jiming doesn't like to blow on the air conditioner, so he opened the car window and let the sweat flow freely... And then... he smelled sweat stink...

Zhou Jiming touched his chin, and the stubble appeared again, obviously just shaved a week ago.

It's time to take a shower, Zhou Jiming thought.

The phone rang suddenly, and Fu Li called again. While confirming that Zhou Jiming was fine, she began to tell him what she saw in the surveillance.

"I understand. It's been hard work. You and Chen Yu should go to rest early. I'll watch over Song Nai."

If the person who appeared on the rainy night was really the murderer, then it might not be a coincidence that he went to Song Nai's room, maybe... he wanted to kill two birds with one stone?He didn't deliberately choose Song Nai's absence to go to his room, and he didn't even know that Song Nai was not there that day...So Song Nai escaped a catastrophe because he went to visit the grave...

Zhou Jiming only felt more bored. He tugged at his collar, trying to breathe some air into it to ease his thoughts, but it didn't help.

He just wanted to get there soon.

-

Lizhong District is a commercial area, and there are not many entertainment venues, so there are very few pedestrians on the street at this moment.However, there will still be a lot of drag racers who are speeding on the road, or white-collar workers who only drive home after working overtime.

It took Zhou Jiming more than half an hour to reach the big pharmacy at the maximum speed allowed by the traffic regulations. It was almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Li Zhongda Pharmacy" is owned by Xue Zheng, the second son of "Xue Group".The Xue Group has always been keen on charity, so Xue Zheng pulled some investment from his father, the chairman of the group Xue Qingming, and opened a large pharmacy in every province, city, and district of the country.The price of these large pharmacies is cheaper than that of hospitals, and their service attitude is also good. In addition, the business hours are early and late, and the reputation is increasing day by day.

Zhou Jiming found a parking space at the entrance of the pharmacy, and then called Song Nai.

"Boss, the little one is here, come out."

There was another sigh on the other end of the phone, "Okay."

Zhou Jiming confirmed that Song Nai was fine at the moment, and his mood suddenly improved. He looked down at Song Nai's mobile phone number, and suddenly found that it hadn't been saved yet.He thought for a long time what note to give this person...

Boss Song is too old-fashioned and not creative.

Mr. Song, too polite and not creative.

Song Nai is too old-fashioned and has no creativity.

Song didn't... Zhou Jiming didn't even bother to think about the reason why it was bad, so he deleted it directly.

Zhou Jiming caught a glimpse of Song Nai coming out of the main entrance of the pharmacy, and began to have countless rotating names in his mind, and finally locked one in a hurry, typed it into the phone in a hurry, then put the phone away, and looked at Song Nai with a righteous face. Chennai smiled.

Song Nai was wearing loose home clothes, and was standing outside Zhou Jiming's car window with a bag of medicine in his hand. He bent down and looked into the car window, "Tell me, Officer Zhou, what happened to me waiting for you here so late? something?"

When Song Nai bent down, because the neckline was too big, Zhou Jiming couldn't help but glanced twice.With a guilty conscience, he didn't dare to look more, and forcibly looked away.

"Well, let's talk on the way? Or should we finish talking before we go on the road?"

Song Nai stood up straight, with his arms crossed over his chest, he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this person was selling in his bones.

"Just say it right here."

"Okay, you come up."

"Where?"

"Get in my car, you don't want to talk about it like this." Zhou Jiming finished speaking and pointed to himself sitting in the car and Song Nai standing outside the car.

Song Nai thought for a moment, and then got into Zhou Jiming's police car. As soon as he stepped into the police car, the smell of smoke and sweat made Song Nai frown.

But he is a very polite person, he didn't say much, just controlled himself to let himself breathe less.

"Tell me." Zhou Jiming recognized the strange voice of controlling breathing.

"Boss Song, don't be surprised," Zhou Jiming said while turning on the ventilation, "We don't know how many people drive this car every year, and there will be all kinds of smells, bear with it, bear with it."

"Tell me quickly." Song Nai resisted to turn his head and leave.

"Then let me tell you straight, Mr. Song, half a month ago, did you go to Qijing Street, Lixi District, and it rained heavily that day."

Song Nai endured the unpleasant smell and thought about it, "Yes, I went there to meet an acquaintance, what's wrong?"

"Fan Xiaofang lived there before."

Song Nai looked at him suspiciously.

"One of our teammates went over there to adjust the monitoring. More than an hour ago, she called me and said that something might happen to you."

"I?"

"Well. Because she not only saw someone who might be the murderer in the surveillance," Zhou Jiming found Song Nai's eyes in the dim car, "and you."

"The murderer met me?" Song Nai unconsciously lowered his voice.

"Well, you two bumped into each other, and you still saw him. Do you still have an impression? He was wearing a black baseball cap. Although it rained heavily that night, he, like you, didn't have an umbrella."

"I...have an impression. Then you said that something might happen to me, meaning that because I met him that night and saw what he looked like, so he will silence me?"

"It can't be confirmed yet, but this possibility cannot be ruled out, otherwise why would he enter your room. We always thought that he had been watching you for a long time and wanted to go while you were away. But let's think about it from another angle, if he is targeting you I went, but it happened that you were not there that day, and he missed it. Is it also understandable, you said that he moved your bed, could it be that he waited for you there for a while? "

"I understand what you mean, I understand what you mean..." Song Nai said to himself while turning his head to look out the window, "Then why was that girl invited to our hotel? Does he want to deal with two people in one go? Why did he have to kill that girl?"

"Why did we kill that girl? We are still waiting for the autopsy report. The cause of her death was a knife in the neck, which cut a major artery and bled to death. The question is why she has already had a fatal injury, but still How about cutting her belly open?"

"The murderer is a perverted murderer? The kind that abuses corpses?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Where's the girl's family?" Song Nai didn't know why and started talking "normally" with Zhou Jiming.

"The girl came to Li City three years ago. Her father died early, leaving her mother in poor health. She needs a lot of medical expenses all year round. She hasn't been notified yet."

Zhou Jiming paused.

"However, Mr. Song."

"please say."

"Do you remember what that man looked like?"

"Can't remember."

There was a dead silence in the car after that.

Song Nai spoke first this time.

"Officer Zhou..."

"Ok?"

The lights in the car were too dim, Zhou Jiming couldn't see Song Nai's expression clearly, he could only see him with his head down, and he seemed to be playing with the plastic bags from the pharmacy in his hands.

"You guys are working so hard to catch the murderer, what can you do?" Song Nai asked, "The deceased is already dead. You can't predict the deceased before the accident. You only find out that this person is there after the living is dead. Search and find Look, the ashes of the dead can be scattered, and the murderer may not be caught... Even if they are all caught, so what? The dead will not come back, will they?"

"But Mr. Song, don't we go to catch the murderer? Don't we go to find the culprit who caused the disaster just because the tragedy has already happened? We are human beings, not gods, Mr. Song, we will not Foreknowledge, what you can do is to give an explanation to the innocent souls who died unjustly, to justice, and to yourself... that's all."

"The reason you can say things like this now is because you haven't experienced...the kind of loved one who falls in front of you, and you can only watch him die there...who are you even I don’t even know what I’m doing... What’s life like? What’s a person like? What can we trust? Officer Zhou.”

Zhou Jiming thought of the information about Song Nai he read before, his mother committed suicide...

"Mr. Song, of course people have to believe in themselves, just like I came to you tonight, I came here with great confidence."

"Then what if you're late? What if you're seeing my dead body now?"

"Then I will definitely find the person who killed you and burn his verdict in front of your grave, so that you can take a good look at how I cleaned up that person for you. Anyway, you have to praise me."

Song Nai laughed, "Sorry, I said some useless words, don't worry about it."

Song Nai closed the car door and walked towards her own car.

Zhou Jiming sat alone in the driver's seat and lit a cigarette.

"Recently, children's thinking is really complicated."

The author has something to say: "1936" the front desk of the hotel is on duty before ten o'clock, and those who are not on night shift after that will go home.The person on the night shift needs to sleep in the hotel dormitory that night, there is no overnight reception.
