Forensic pursuit

Chu Wanning briefly read the content of the webpage and made an arrangement: "Old Yang took Hu Hua to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, Xiao Chen stared at Lan Hui, and Xiao Liang continued to follow up with other victims who were molested by Lu Zhenglin. Fanxin, and Let me restore Lan Hui's going out trajectory together."

Everyone was ordered to separate, Chu Wanning took the car keys, saw Pei Rong in the lounge from the corridor, and did not forget to say hello: "Lawyer Pei, Lan Hui doesn't need to be detained, but I will decide the time to leave when I come back."

Pei Rong nodded with great interest: "Okay, I trust Team Chu." Lawyers deal with the police, and they rarely meet such a talkative person as Chu Wanning. Pick people up.

Nie Fanxin also waved to Pei Rong, indicating that he was busy with business, and then followed Chu Wanning downstairs.

Chu Wanning let go of the handbrake, and Nie Fanxin sat in the co-pilot and put on his seat belt.Although autonomous driving is possible nowadays, most young people are still willing to drive by themselves and experience the feeling of driving.Having known her for more than [-] years, it was the first time that Nie Fanxin was sitting beside her alone, and Nie Fanxin couldn't help turning his head to look at her quietly over and over again.Slightly different from the morning, Chu Wanning, who was holding the steering wheel, seemed to be more concentrated. The side face of the handsome face was illuminated by the sun, as if a sweet smile slowly faded away, attracting her step by step, dazzling and seductive , Soul Eater.

It wasn't until the car drove into the underground parking lot of Honghuai Ocean that Nie Fanxin came back to his senses, stroked his slightly hot side face, and picked up his notebook to record.

The two got out of the car one after the other, and Nie Fanxin said first: "Lan Hui's car is parked at No. 301 of Building B, 200 meters away from the stairs. The surveillance system at the stairs was inspected that night and it was not working properly, so I directly transported the body to the car. , can be unnoticed."

Chu Wanning walked to the top of the stairs and climbed up step by step: "But Lan Hui is small and thin, and without tools, it is almost impossible to move the corpse by herself."

Nie Fan hummed in agreement.

Chu Wanning stood at the stairs on the sixth floor, looking down: "Lu Zhenglin is 172cm tall and weighs 65kg; Lan Hui is 165cm and weighs 54kg. Fanxin, let's do an experiment."

Nie Fanxin looked up: "What experiment?"

Chu Wanning's voice was very soft: "I'm a little taller than you by 5 centimeters, and I must be heavier than you, so..."

Before the words finished, Nie Fanxin was already half-bowed: "Come on."

The next moment, she felt a weight on her back, and the heat slid past her ears: "Fanxin, you should be able to bear it?"

"No, no problem." The police academy ran cross-country with a 30-kilogram load, and now it's just going down the stairs, which is more than enough for her.

"There is a 22-jin weight difference between Lu Zhenglin and Lan Hui, and an 8-jin weight difference between you and me."

Nie Fan was stunned for a moment, and his tone rose slightly: "How does Sister Wan Ning know my weight?"

"I filled in the information, is there something wrong?"

"That's right, I also know your weight by the way." 172cm, 59kg, Nie Fan kept it in mind, the speed of her feet accelerated, and she subconsciously held on to the handrail on the right at the corner on the second floor.

"Fanxin. Are you tired?"

Nie Fanxin denied it: "No."

"Tell me how you really feel."

"A little bit." Chu Wanning was useless all over her body, hanging on Nie Fanxin's back like a dead body. She was tall and had long legs, so Nie Fanxin must have put in a lot of effort.

Chu Wanning got off her back and asked a question: "You have been exercising all year round, and your physical strength is good. It is still difficult to carry me on your back. Where is Lan Hui?"

"She should need to stop for breath every time she walks."

Chu Wanning raised her mobile phone: "Look here again." Nie Fanxin followed her gaze, and the fingerprints on the armrest were clearly visible.Stair cleaning is a blind spot, which is usually ignored by cleaners, and only remembered when checking, so the handrails fall into dust, and the resulting physical traces can be preserved.

The two returned to the sixth floor again, kept their bodies low, and carefully observed each floor. The handrails from the sixth floor to the first floor below were covered with dust, but there were no fingerprints or clean places except what Nie Fanxin had left just now.

Chu Wanning's analysis: "There are only three possibilities. First, Lan Hui has an accomplice; second, the murderer is a man; third, the murderer is a woman, and she was on a lower floor at the time, and she has good physical fitness and strength. .”

Nie Fanxin asked without thinking: "Are the people in the gym ruled out as suspects? What about Lu Zhenglin's personal trainer? What about the steam room on the first floor and the massage room on the third floor?"

Chu Wanning got into the car and started the engine: "Xiao Liang and two other colleagues are responsible for the investigation of Honghuai Ocean. Lu Zhenglin clocked in and left at 22:32 on the night of the incident, the private teacher got off work at 22:36, and drove out of the parking lot at 44. As for the steam room, it closes at 22:[-]; the massage room is monitored, and there is no recording of Lu Zhenglin appearing."

Nie Fanxin closed the car door: "I can only investigate one by one." She took out her mobile phone and continued, "Sister Wan Ning, let's take Lan Hui's route to Wanhui Community first."

Chu Wanning responded, let go of her right foot, and the car started slowly.

It took them 11 minutes to reach the outskirts of Bajiao Street. When the car stopped on the side of the road, Nie Fanxin zoomed in on the real-time map displayed on the phone.

"The crime scene can be reached by two roads. The first is the second section of Bajiao Street where Lan Hui walked, but the surveillance at the door of the bathroom shows that she turned around on the spot and did not go in; the second is the section of Bajiao Street. Suppose Lan Hui throws the body first. , and then go to the bathroom, or go to the bathroom first and then throw the body. Let's run as fast as possible to see if we can match." After Nie Fanxin finished speaking, Chu Wanning reminded him to pull up the handrail.

She grabbed the handrail one second, and the person on the left stepped on the accelerator the next second, and the car moved forward rapidly.The cold wind was whistling in her ears. At the critical moment, Nie Fanxin would not let herself be distracted. She held the phone in her left hand and stared straight ahead with her eyes.

Arriving at the garbage collection box at the end of Bajiao Street, the two got off the car, got on the car half a minute later, turned around and drove towards the second section of Bajiao Street, and finally braked at the bathroom door.

"Sister Wan Ning, no, Lan Hui left the last surveillance at 12:05, and appeared at the door of the bathroom at 08:3 minutes, and we will be at 4 and a half minutes at the fastest. And in the surveillance screen, she braked slowly, and we It's a sudden brake."

"Exclude, try to go to the bathroom first, and then throw the body."

Chu Wanning only walked halfway, and Nie Fanxin stopped: "Sister Wanning, it's overtime. Now there is only one possibility. The accomplice got off the car halfway and dragged Lu Zhenglin to throw the body alone."

Assuming what Lan Hui did, an accomplice is a necessary condition.Ye Jun wasn't by her side at the time, who else could it be?If you want to hire a murderer, why not pick yourself clean?Therefore, according to normal investigative thinking, no reasonable accomplice can be found, and Lan Hui's suspicion will be greatly reduced.

At 4:50 p.m., Chu Wanning and Nie Fanxin returned to the police station, immediately decided to release Lan Hui, and sent people to closely monitor her whereabouts. At 5 o'clock, Pei Rong finished signing, quietly pulled Nie Fanxin aside, and gently opened and closed her beautiful red lips: "Dinner, please, tonight."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm busy."

Pei Rong looked at Chu Wanning's back, smiled and passed his eyes: "Call her together."

"Pei Xiaorong!"

"Why? Oh, she's your crush?" Pei Rong laughed more and more heartily, "That's right, she has a good eye. I'll consider whether or not to rob you."

Nie Fan hated her: "Where's your little girlfriend?"

Pei Rong's slender eyebrows raised: "Double Twelve is the day, too tender, too clingy, I can't spare my energy to take care of her, I want to change to a mature one."

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it."

Pei Rong put away his smile, and suddenly said seriously, "What? With your ability, you can't get hooked after getting along for so long?"

Nie Fan gave her a gouged look: "What can I do?"

"Charming, when I was in the third year of graduate school, you were in the fourth year, right? How many people's souls were taken away by the dance at the New Year's Eve party? I, I can't compare, I can't compare, I sigh."

……

"It's hard to look back on the past." Nie Fanxin still remembers that Gu Bei found a video to study with her, and what the contrast was, it brought a perfect end to the university.

"But looking back, you can let go of other things, why are you timid and timid when it comes to relationships?" Pei Rong knew three years ago that Nie Fanxin had someone he liked, and after two days of observation, he decided to adopt the aggressive method.

"You don't understand." Nie Fanxin just felt that she hadn't found a breakthrough. She was afraid that Chu Wanning's hesitation was just that she didn't know how to refuse. She was also afraid that three years is a long time, and the surroundings of each other are changing with each passing day. There are too many variables... …

"I really don't understand. If you slow down, I'll snatch it away." Pei Rong strode towards Chu Wanning's office with high heels, and took the opportunity of returning the pen to say sincerely, "Captain Chu, let's have dinner together tonight." ? Fanxin treats guests."

"Okay." Chu Wanning screwed on the pen cap and added, "Where is Xiao Yu?"

The host, Nie Fanxin, just stood still in front of the table, with a smile on his lips: "I will inform her later."

***

Because he has work at night, the restaurant Nie Fanxin reserved is not far away.Both she and Wan Yi like to eat Sichuan food, and if I remember correctly, Chu Wanning should be able to eat spicy food, but Pei Rong's tolerance is slightly worse, so just order two non-spicy dishes.

At ten past six, the three of them sat down in the private room, Wan Yi arrived late, and when the curtain was lifted, Chu Wanning was ordering food.

Pei Rong greeted her: "Forensic Doctor Wan, come and sit here."

"Well, thank you." Wan Yi sat down beside Pei Rong.

Pei Rong asked: "There are five dishes in total, Wan Fayi, what do you like to eat?"

"I'm free."

"I ordered shredded fish-flavored chicken that she likes." "She likes shredded fish-flavored chicken." Chu Wanning and Nie Fanxin said in unison.

Pei Rong raised his eyes to glance at Chu Wanning, then at Nie Fanxin, and then buried himself in the menu: "Oh, then I'll order another vegetarian dish."

She sketched, covered the menu, and handed it to the waiter standing next to her.

Nie Fan heartily said: "Please serve the food faster."

Wan Yi took off her pea-colored coat, hung it on the triangle hanger in the corner, and asked Nie Fanxin casually, "Is there anything else tonight?"

Nie Fanxin was drinking tea, and Chu Wanning helped her answer: "Well, Lan Hui needs to stay there, Fanxin and I will change Lao Yang's shift."

Wan Yi nodded: "Then I'll go home after dinner."

Pei Rong, who was swiping his phone at the side, suddenly looked up: "Forensic Doctor Wan, are you watching a movie? Marvel's new release."

Wan Yi politely refused: "I have something to do, grandma..."

Nie Fanxin rushed to explain: "She goes home to accompany grandma, and I will accompany you when New Year's Day is off."

Pei Rong muttered silently: "Ice cubes."

Wan Yi looked at the half glass of Coke in front of Pei Rong's table, and out of concern for her friend, she reminded her: "Lawyer Pei, eating ice in cold weather is not good for your health."

"Ah Choo." Pei Rong covered his mouth and nose, and unconsciously sneezed twice.

Nie Fanxin cared about her: "I have a cold, just bear with it."

Pei Rong found a step for himself: "Don't eat."

The dishes are served quickly. Sichuan people are hospitable and like to help friends and relatives pick up dishes, so the waiter put an extra pair of serving chopsticks on purpose.At the beginning, they picked food alone, eating the rice in their own bowls, and did not greet each other.Halfway through eating, Chu Wanning picked up the serving chopsticks, first added a chopstick of shredded fish-flavored chicken to Wan Yi, then picked up a chopstick of her favorite spicy chicken diced for Nie Fanxin who was nearby, and finally scooped a spoonful of green peppers for Pei Rong Fried corn.

Pei Rong was choked on an invitation before, so he hardly spoke much during the meal, just looked at the three people in front of him and said something to each other.

Chu Wanning first asked: "Xiao Yu, how has your health been in recent years?"

Wan Yi put down the soup in her hand, and replied, "It's okay, I don't have much illness."

Nie Fan wanted to grab her: "Who said that? He went to the clinic last month."

A warm smile appeared on Wan Yi's lips: "That's because I can't find the medicine I carried with me."

Chu Wanning added another half bowl of soup for her: "You should bring more medicines, so you will be prepared." He helped Nie Fanxin and Pei Rong scoop up half a bowl of soup respectively.

At about 07:30, the four of them had enough water and food.After parting, Pei Rong looked thoughtfully at the backs of Nie Fanxin and Chu Wanning, why did she feel that something was wrong?
