Doomed

The interrogation of the three men who said they had seen what the killer looked like was over.

The word interrogation is Yang Pingfei's definition for the communication between Shen Yang and the three of them.To be precise, the communication between these people and Shen Yang should not be regarded as an interrogation, because none of them had conclusive evidence to prove their guilt, and they were brought in as witnesses.

But Shen Yang's "communication" method is too different.He forced the truth out in a questioning manner that almost overwhelmed ordinary people.

Among the three people, only a white-collar worker was excluded, and the college students were put in the same room as the sanitation workers.Yang Pingfei began to wonder if Shen Yang wasn't so brilliant, he was just doing a rough screening.Among the five people, four people or three people are selected.In the worst case, no one can be screened out, or after the screening, no one is found to be the murderer.The probability of this is very high.After all, Shen Yang said that the probability of the murderer among these people is less than [-]%.

Shen Yang began to interrogate the fourth person after 50:[-].That was the owner of the canteen in the community. The canteen was on the east side of the community, less than [-] meters away from the apartment building where the accident happened.Before Shen Yang asked the shopkeeper to come in, he asked someone to play a video tape for him.

The owner of the store is a young man with a hunchback and a pair of glasses, like a college student who plays too many games.

Shen Lang waited for him to sit down, turned on the computer next to him, and said, "This is the in-store video I asked for from you earlier."

The shopkeeper froze for a moment, nodded, and glanced at Shen Yang not knowing what he meant.

"Look at it for a while." Shen Yang didn't say anything unnecessary, but just let the shopkeeper stare at the screen.He started to play it three hours before the accident, played it at a faster speed, then played it at a normal speed during the 10 minutes of the accident, and then played it at a faster speed.

Shen Yang and the owner watched the video for a long time without saying a word.When the video was over, Shen Yang still didn't speak.He stared at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "...Is there any problem?"

"You were in the store all that day, right?" Shen Yang finally spoke.Hearing his words, the owner seemed relieved, but immediately became more uneasy: "That's right."

"Is your store open 24 hours?"

"It's usually like this...my mother looks after the store during the day, and I look after the store at night."

"Have you ever gone out on the way?"

"...No, it's not on the video..."

"Where's your brother?" Shen Yang's sudden question made him stunned for a moment.Then he said in a daze, "My brother? I don't have a brother."

"Do you have a sister?"

"...I have a younger sister."

"Do you know the sanitation workers in the community?"

"... I know, he often cleans near our store, and he doesn't remember his face very much."

Shen Yang signaled that the person could be taken out.This time, this person was also brought into the small room, just as Yang Pingfei thought.Before the last person came in, Shen Yang went out and said a few words to Pang Hui.Pang Hui nodded and entered the room where the three were.

The last person was unanimously pointed out by the old man who had never seen him, but came out of the community that day.

It was a young man in a courier uniform with a hat on his head.As soon as the man entered the door, he said politely to Shen Yang, "Hello."

Shen Yang said: "Sit down. Are you a courier?"

The other party nodded and said, "Yes, I was transferred to this area recently to work as a courier, and the original person has returned to my hometown."

"Have you delivered a one-unit [-] courier?"

"Sent it, just two days ago, it was a letter."

"Is there a delivery record?"

"Yes, is this about the case? Shall I go back and call you?"

Shen Yang nodded and said, "I want all the delivery information of Unit [-]."

The courier said with some embarrassment: "This is more difficult...but I can ask the leader."

Then Shen Yang said expressionlessly: "Leave the message, you can go out."

The courier didn't dare to look into Shen Yang's eyes the whole time.Hearing this sentence, he immediately got up with a sigh of relief, and said "goodbye" to Shen Yang very cautiously.

Shen Yang finally left three people.After the green-haired young man was taken away, Yang Pingfei pushed the wheelchair to move to that room.Yang Pingfei said, "Is it among these three people?"

"Not necessarily." Shen Yang said.

Yang Pingfei complained in his heart.His mission also includes the whereabouts of the other two people in the video.After taking over Shen Yang's order, he handed over the tracking of the two people to Xiao Zhang, mainly to see how Shen Yang found out the last person.But Shen Yang's current behavior made him feel that he was blind at all.That last guy might have absconded long ago while he was torturing the group.

After Shen Yang entered the door, he sat across from the three people, Pang Hui sat in the corner as before, and behind the three people, Yang Pingfei stood against the wall on the other side.Shen Yang said: "I want to ask you some questions."

"You've already asked me a lot of questions," said the college student bluntly.

Shen Yang ignored him and turned to the owner of the commissary.

"Did you hear any unusual noises that day?"

"There were three screams, I think. One was quite a while after the other two, and it sounded like a woman's scream."

Shen Yang turned his head and asked the college student: "You live downstairs and came in with the murderer. Did you go upstairs and go home?"

"I went home. At that time, I didn't know that those people were going to kill people," said the college student, and glanced at the shop owner. "I also heard screams, but I don't remember how many times there were."

Shen Lang was about to speak when the college student suddenly said, "We have two rooms on the first floor of a unit. The canteen is on the east side. I am on the west side of the unit. The room where the murder happened is above me. When I was young, my mother often forgot to bring the The key is calling me downstairs. If I don’t open the window, I can’t hear her. In the same way, if I call indoors, unless I open the window, I can’t hear her clearly outside. I remember the call is relatively short. It was a little boring downstairs, I thought it was just a family quarrel, so I didn't care."

Yang Pingfei couldn't help but said, "You followed those people up, but you weren't found?"

"Because those people are not from our unit, I am a little wary. The two people upstairs just moved to our community. The man often deals with some gangsters who don't know him. The neighbors in the building don't like him very much. After they came, there were a lot of strange people coming in and out. At that time, I thought it was someone else coming to them, and it was definitely not a good thing.” The college student said, “I don’t like to deal with such people, and it’s better not to meet them, so I waited for them to go upstairs before opening the door. Because the sound of the safety door switch downstairs was relatively loud, I waited for a while before going upstairs. Maybe it was my subconscious avoiding danger." The college student looked at Shen Yang calmly and said .

At this moment, Shen Yang glanced at the silent sanitation worker.

"I didn't hear them going upstairs when I went upstairs, so I didn't think it was the start of the murder, so I went straight into the house."

"Why are you coming home so late?" Shen Yang asked.

"Sing K with your classmates." University student Wang Mang said naturally.

Shen Yang didn't continue to ask him, he closed his eyes and stood up.Yang Pingfei was a little stunned.He let go of the hands crossed on his chest, took two steps forward, and saw that Pang Hui also got up and pushed Shen Lang out the door.

The three people being interrogated were all a little dazed, and the college student stood up after being stunned for a while: "Is this the end?"

Shen Hang glanced at him coldly: "I'm done, but you haven't."

Yang Pingfei was about to say "what do you mean", when Pang Hui shook his head at him, signaling him to come out.Yang Pingfei had no choice but to say: "You guys wait here for a while." Then he ran out quickly.

Yang Pingfei closed the door, told the policemen by the door to keep an eye on those people, and then trotted forward a few steps after Shen Yang's wheelchair.Shen Yang didn't say until he walked to their office door, "That person from the commissary."

Yang Pingfei froze for a moment, and said: "What?" Then he suddenly realized something, his eyes gradually opened wide: "You said that the people in the canteen are fierce——"

"I haven't made a conclusion." Shen Yang interrupted him.

"...What does that mean?" Yang Pingfei was confused by him again.

"I asked the sanitation worker to draw a map, which is his usual cleaning route map. The road map mainly cleans the roads near the street, and the area of ​​the commissary is not included in it, so it should be considered as a residential building. The cleaning of the residential building here It is managed by a special person for the property, that is to say, the duty of the sanitation worker is only on the road surface and part of the greening, not on the building. His route bypasses a unit and does not pass the east side of the unit, but the owner of the commissary said that he is often in his Clean up around the store."

"...You mean one of the two is lying?"

Shen Yang ignored him and continued: "Both Wang Mang and the sanitation worker saw the murderer go upstairs, Wang Mang waited outside for a while before going upstairs, and the sanitation worker saw the last murderer who went upstairs under the overhead stairs on the first floor. The general appearance, that is to say, he should have not left before Wang Mang entered the unit building, but Wang Mang did not see the sanitation worker." Shen Yang glanced at Yang Pingfei, and said mechanically: "The sanitation worker said that he did not know that person, so he just went out, but in fact, he waited until Wang Mang went upstairs before leaving."

"But... how do you know that everything Wang Mang said is correct?"

"As I said before," Shen Rang said, "Wang Mang is left-handed. Also, although we cannot be sure that the man we found is the one who used the chainsaw, the sanitation worker has a scar on his thumb. As I said, holding a The killer with the chainsaw had scars on his thumb."

Yang Pingfei immediately became serious, "I'm going to arrest—"

"But he's not necessarily the murderer."

Yang Pingfei immediately froze again.

"There is a problem with the video in the commissary. He only left the scene on the video once in five and a half hours, and he didn't watch TV. Most people can't do that."

"The tape is..."

"I asked Pang Hui to bring it over without any treatment," Shen Yang said. "While watching the video, the other party's muscles were tense and he didn't speak. I imagined that the murderer was someone who provided effective means to conceal the fact of his murder." A person who testifies to get rid of the police's suspicion and accusation, before he is in danger of being exposed, he will try his best to provide all the information and motives of other murderers that he knows, and may even be other murderers. Cooperate with my question, but there are two points that are enough to make me doubt him. One is that there is a problem with his video tape, and the other is that he rarely exposes his thumb."

Shen Lang rubbed his knuckles unconsciously with his fingers, and looked at them with his eyes: "His movements are very cautious, almost invisible, but it is too obvious to me. I have been paying attention to him."

"You... excluded that college student from the beginning?" Yang Pingfei said dryly.

"Well, I wasn't sure at first." Shen Yang fixed his eyes on his toes, "He has judgment in this area, and he has more experience in that community. I put him between those two, Just to make sure of one thing."
