traces of all things

"Looks like me?" Lu Zheng repeated, his expression was a little surprised, and he became excited in an instant: "Little friend, think about it carefully, which part is more similar? Eyes? Nose? Mouth?"

While talking, he took out his notebook and opened a new page to take notes.

With two swollen eyeballs, Jia Kaijie raised his head cautiously and swept Lu Zheng's face several times, then shook his head.

What do you mean?

Lu Zheng was a little confused for a moment.

"Actually... I didn't see his face." Jia Kaijie twisted his fingers and said softly: "He is wearing a hat, so he can't see his face, only his chin, but it feels quite similar. "

It feels quite similar, but this is hard to say, Lu Zheng pursed his lips, a little at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing the expression on his face, Jia Kaijie suddenly said, "That's how it looks."

Lu Zheng and Tang Shaoyuan: ...?

"That person also has a dimple on his face." Jia Kaijie stretched out his hand and said firmly.

dimple!

This is an obvious clue!

Lu Zheng became energetic in an instant, sat up straight, and gave Tang Shaoyuan a look. Tang Shaoyuan opened a page tacitly and began to outline the human figure.

"Does he have a pointed face or a round face or a square face?"

"Sharp face."

"Is he taller or shorter than me?"

"...It seems to be about the same."

"What color clothes are you wearing?"

"White clothes... um... black pants... hands..."

Having said this, Jia Kaijie suddenly trembled and stopped talking.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Lu Zheng keenly sensed something was wrong, squatted down and looked into Jia Kaijie's eyes: "Tell Uncle, what's in his hand? Also, why do you think he's a strange person?"

Jia Kaijie's eyelashes flickered: "He...has a black travel bag in his hand."

Speaking of this, he added eagerly: "I don't know why, but I thought he was weird and a little scared, so we ran away."

"us?"

Tang Shaoyuan and Lu Zheng asked in unison.

According to Jia Kaijie, the four students who went up the mountain together that day were four students from the same dormitory.

"Jiang Pengyun, Luan Kang, and Shan Jianming, these three people live in the same dormitory as Jia Kaijie. There are five people in their dormitory, and the rest is Nie Zhi who we asked about before." Lu Zheng concluded: "In our questioning Inquired, Nie Zhi told the truth, he knew that the other four students in his dormitory skipped school and left the school that day, but since they did often skip classes, he didn't care. After returning that night, several of them seemed to be in shock Among them, Jiang Pengyun, the boss in the dormitory, threatened Nie Zhi not to speak out, otherwise he would not be able to stay in school, so Nie Zhi kept silent when we asked him about any abnormalities."

"The other four people, when questioned, all admitted to seeing a strange man on the mountain, wearing a white sweater and black pants, carrying a black travel bag and wearing a hat. These four people were questioned separately, The image description and various details of this suspect are basically consistent, which can rule out the possibility that they collectively lied or misunderstood."

According to the descriptions of several students, Tang Shaoyuan, who has art skills, helped to draw the portrait of the suspect, but there was only one chin, and there was no way to display too much information, but it was better than nothing, Lu Zheng still brought a The team posted a reward notice near Xiaocang Mountain.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the investigators visited by Geng Zhizhong did not find anything new. Lu Zheng and the others stayed in the city bureau to answer the phone. The phone never stopped ringing.

"Hello?" Wei Xiongfeng pressed the hands-free button and took a sip of water.

This was already the tenth report call he had received, and all the previous reports were confirmed to be cleared of suspicion. At this time, his voice was dry and hoarse, and his head was dizzy from exhaustion.

"The police station? I want to report."

On the other end of the phone, a shrill female voice squeezed her throat and said cautiously: "I saw the reward notice at the foot of Xiaocang Mountain. There is a person on our side who looks a bit like that portrait."

**

"Mag, I'm 30 years old this year. I don't have a stable job." Geng Zhizhong called up the suspect's information and introduced: "He is a well-known jobless person in the village. He has been dealt with by the public security organs several times because of illegal business operations. He has a history of harassing women, and according to the informant, he even molested female students of Wenyuan Elementary School..."

"Damn, pedophile!" Wei Xiongfeng spat, looking disgusted.

"In addition, according to the conversation with the whistleblower, we learned that Mag has sexual dysfunction." Geng Zhizhong closed the document in his hand: "Captain Xian and the others should have brought Mag back for questioning."

"Wait." Wei Xiongfeng suddenly had an indescribable expression on his face: "How did this informant know that Ma Ge has sexual dysfunction? The two are not relatives, and the informant is married and has children."

Lu Zheng: ...

Tang Shaoyuan: ...

good question.

It seems that something not very good has been found.

Mag was quickly brought into the interrogation room. He was sitting on a restraint chair. He was thin, tall, and fair-skinned. He did look a bit like what Jia Kaijie and other students described, and suddenly fell asleep. Zhong was taken away by the police, and he looked a little panicked.

Lu Zheng looked at Mag's small soybean-sized eyes, and his obscene eyes, and he didn't know what to say.

This... is what that little doll Jia Kaijie said, the person who looks a lot like me?

Is my temperament so wretched in everyone's eyes?

"Mag." Tang Shaoyuan suddenly asked a strange request: "Can I ask you to smile?"

"what?"

Mag looked shocked. He probably never thought that the police would make such a request to him. He grinned and showed a miserable expression, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"Senior brother, look, it's not him." Tang Shaoyuan turned his head to look at Lu Zheng, with a firm expression on his face: "There are no dimples."

There are indeed no dimples on Mag's face, which is inconsistent with Jia Kaijie's statement.

Lu Zheng glanced at Tang Shaoyuan.

I don't know why I suddenly feel as if I have been comforted.

Several children from Jia Kaijie came to identify it through the single-sided glass. The police asked Mag to put on a hat and stand inside. The children expressed different opinions after seeing it separately from the outside.

Jia Kaijie just glanced into the room and said with certainty, "It's not this person."

The largest of the remaining three, Jiang Pengyun, who looked like the leader, stood up and looked at it, but he was very sure: "I think it is this person."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Luan Kang and Shan Jianming who were following behind him: "What do you think?"

Luan Kang and Shan Jianming are short and fat, and the other is thin and tall. Luan Kang still looks a little childish, while Shan Jianming has a long face, looks a little gloomy, and has stubble on his chin, so they both follow Nuonuo nodded.

"Jackie?"

Jiang Pengyun turned around and stared at Jia Kaijie who was the first to identify.

Jia Kaijie panicked visibly: "I, I... I'll take a look..."

After finishing speaking, he wiped the sweat off his brow, turned around and stared at the single-sided glass for a while, his expression became uncertain.

"It seems...a bit like it?"

Lu Zheng said: "Don't worry, take a good look."

Jia Kaijie looked at it for a while, and seemed a little more sure than before: "I think...it might be him."

"Didn't you say that that person has dimples on his face?" Tang Shaoyuan reminded.

"Maybe, maybe I remember wrong?"

Jia Kaijie seemed a little confused, scratching his chin, his face full of distress.

"These kids sound unreliable. Sometimes they are, and sometimes they are not. Do they have a good memory?" Wei Xiongfeng complained while driving: "My eyes are not as good as mine. .”

"They were frightened at the time, so it's normal that they didn't see it clearly?" Xue Yiwei said while sitting in the passenger seat: "I think this Mag is very suspicious, whether it's body shape, appearance, or criminal psychology analysis, it is very in line with what we are looking for. The portrayal of a murderer."

Now they are on their way to Mag's house. Mag has been calling for wrongdoing, but his suspicion cannot be ruled out, especially since he himself could not provide an alibi for that night. In order to find possible evidence of the crime, the Municipal Bureau Decided to apply for a search warrant and search Mag's house to see if there were any items related to the victim.

Ma Ge's home is in a village at the foot of Xiaocang Mountain. His parents are gone, and his elder brother has already gone out to work, so he is the only one living in the family.Because he is relatively idle and doesn't like to work very much, the small yard in front of his house is deserted and full of weeds.

However, Mag's home is located in a pretty good location, just beside the north-south main road, I saw that he hung a small sign with red letters on a white background on the window, which said "watch the video" and "rent Book" five words.

"Is this really workable?" Lu Zheng looked at the window with some curiosity: "Have you never been hit before?"

"As soon as the police station came, he took the sign in. There was no other way but to catch it on the spot." Xue Yiwei said helplessly after knowing the local situation in advance.

Several people quickly got out of the car and entered Mag's house.

The room was not big, and it was an eye-opener for them as soon as they entered the door. They saw a few shelves on the small aisle, stacked up to the height of the ceiling. Looks like a bootleg.

In addition, there are several huge wooden shelves, on which are some books with ragged covers, most of which are surprisingly thick.

Lu Zheng took out a book at random. The book wasn't very thick, it was torn apart, and there was a string of neon text on the cover, such as uniforms and criminals, it looked like a criminal investigation cartoon.

Open a page at random, and on a large double-page picture, two people wearing big-brimmed hats and uniform jackets of an unknown country are hugging each other.

Phew, kinda romantic huh?Police department love story?

Then he looked down, and the unspeakable part under the uniform jacket came into his eyes so carelessly.

What's wrong with this amount?

Take a closer look.

Fuck! —Two men!

He closed the manga with a snap, and stuffed it back into the bookcase like a hot potato.

Tang Shaoyuan in front turned his head and looked over with questioning eyes: "What's the matter, brother?"

"No...it's nothing." Lu Zheng's cheeks were flushed, and he pushed him in: "The current comic books are too outrageous, and after the investigation is over, let the colleagues from the anti-pornography office come to check, and I think a lot of things can be confiscated. .”

The house is divided into three small rooms by Mag, and each small room has a TV with a DVD.Because the incident happened so suddenly, Mag obviously didn't have time to tidy it up. One of the rooms looked like he used it for himself. There were a few discs scattered in front of the DVD. Turning them over, they were all colored.

Tang Shaoyuan was wearing gloves, holding the CDs with disgust on his face, looked at the toilet paper next to the CDs, and felt that he really wanted to leave immediately.

Suddenly, a low cry from Lu Zheng came from beside him.

"What's the matter, brother?" He immediately put down the things in his hand and asked.

Lu Zheng held an open CD in his hand, and pointed to the cover with a complicated expression: "Look at this."

Tang Shaoyuan and others leaned over to take a look. On the wrapping paper of the CD was written the words "Ten Great Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty". Put it on your face.
