soldiers in front

Luan Yunfeng hired a lawyer in a law firm, Ji Zheng asked a friend to get the lawyer's contact information, and made an appointment with the lawyer to visit Luan Yunfeng at 5 o'clock this evening.

Otherwise, he couldn't find a reason to meet Luan Yunfeng.

"Okay, then call me when you leave, thank you."

After hanging up the phone with lawyer Luan Yunfeng, Ji Zheng answered another call from home.

"Aunt Wu, what's the matter?"

Ji Zheng, wearing a Bluetooth headset, drove through the intersection and asked.

Aunt Wu said: "Doctor Ji, this kitten is spitting up milk again. What did you vomit, why—"

Before Aunt Wu finished speaking, the microphone was snatched away, and Bian Xiaoqu said, "Brother Ji, I want to take him to the doctor."

Ji Zheng listened to the girl anxiously calling him 'Brother Ji' instead of calling him 'Ji Zheng' directly, frowning and silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Have you practiced the piano today?"

Aunt Wu rushed to say: "Xiao Que is very good today, he practiced for more than two hours."

Bian Xiaoqu sweetly smiled and said, "Aunt Wu is right, I am very good today. Brother Ji, let me take it to the hospital, I promise not to run around."

Ji Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay, go home quickly after seeing the veterinarian."

Bian Xiaoqu blew a kiss across the air, and then hung up the phone.

Ji Zheng took off the Bluetooth headset and put it on the driver's platform, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and freed his right hand to pull out a note from the breast pocket of his suit, which said the license plate number found at the accident scene.

The owner of the truck with the license plate number Wei J4380 is Cao Wu, the foreman of the construction site of the commercial section under construction.

During the 12-year Zhengxing overhaul in Weining City, patches of old shops and self-built buildings were razed to the ground, high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and every corner of the city echoed with the loud sound of reinforced concrete being polished and forged.

The construction site of Section A of Commercial Street is located in the suburbs, adjacent to Provincial Highway 718, and less than [-] kilometers away from the accident site.

"Old Cao!"

In the gourd-shaped cement mixer, tons of cement are constantly beating and rolling, and the sand and stone are squeezed and collided. A high-pitched and harsh note is flying amidst the dull rumble of the machine. The sound wave at one end is round and the other is sharp. Pressed into thin sheets of paper.Looking from a distance under the poisonous sun, the figures of the carts transporting mud were only a thin shadow left by the sun.

Cao Wu squatted in the shadow of the mixer to look at the blueprints. Due to the too much noise around him, he didn't hear the shouts of the workers.

He lifted his helmet, revealing a sweaty black face, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

The worker pointed to the construction site, and Cao Wu saw a man standing beside the cement slab.The man was tall and straight, wearing a well-pressed dark blue suit, a pair of rimless glasses, and no tie over his white shirt. He unbuttoned two shirt buttons because of the cold, and the rigid suit was wearing too much on him. A bit rare chic and romantic.

"I don't know, go and see."

The worker said.

Cao Wu stood up and walked towards the man shyly, wiping the hot sweat off his face frequently on the way.

When he came to him, Ji Zheng looked at his face and asked, "Hello, Mr. Cao Wu?"

Cao Wu nodded, also looking at him: "Who are you?"

Ji Zheng smiled slightly: "I'm your friend of Mr. Zhang, and I have something to do with you."

I heard that he is a friend of his immediate boss, and his noble temperament indeed belongs to the upper class.Cao Wu believed him immediately, and his face changed instantly, but his face was already lively, so it was not obvious.

His skin was tanned, and he was even exposed to skin diseases. His cheeks and cheekbones along his neck to his chest showed bright red from the black skin, as if the temperature on his body was too high, and the inside of his skin There was a fire.His face was black and red, and the inconspicuous changes in expression were hidden under a layer of skin that looked like a red-hot iron.

"looking for me?"

There was no surprise in his tone, only defensiveness.Ji Zheng knew that this trip was not in vain.

He raised his hand to lead to the side of the road where several trucks were parked, and said, "It's too noisy here, take a step to talk."

Ji Zheng led him to the green light truck with the license plate number Wei J4380, standing on the side of the truck, in the cool shade of the sun.

"What's the matter with you? I'm busy here."

Cao Wu deliberately raised his voice to show his frankness, and asked.

Ji Zheng didn't take a detour either. He took out his phone and found the photo of the scene of the car accident. He put his thumb across the bottom of the screen to cover the bleeding old man, and only revealed the phantom of the truck parked at the intersection under the rain. He put it in front of him and asked, "Is this you?" car?"

Afraid of being unclear, Ji Zheng raised his hand and knocked on the door of the green light truck with his index finger.

When Cao Wu saw that photo, his burning face immediately turned even redder.He licked his peeling lower lip, and made an indifferent expression: "Who can see this clearly."

Ji Zheng looked at him and smiled: "If there is no clear photo, I won't be able to find you."

With that said, he tapped the car door again.

Cao Wu took a sneak peek at his truck, and said hesitantly, "Well, I'll pull bricks for the brick factory and pass by that road."

"Which way?"

Cao Wu was sweating profusely on his face, and then realized that he was not calling himself, but he couldn't take back what he said, so he could only bite the bullet and lie: "7,718 Provincial Highway."

"time?"

"December 4."

Ji Zheng put his mobile phone in his suit pants pocket, and said lightly: "That is to say, you drove along Provincial Highway 4 to the brick factory to pull bricks on April 15th?"

"Yes."

Ji Zheng paused for a moment, looked at him with a smile and said, "But I just went to the financial office to read the consumables list, and the cashier at your construction site can also testify that construction was suspended on April 4th due to heavy rain, and a truckload of building materials was not brought to the construction site." .”

"That, that is, I—"

Ji Zheng suddenly said in a deep voice: "You are lying."

After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone and found the photos of the accident scene again. This time he showed the complete photos in front of him, and said: "Your car appeared near the scene of a traffic accident that happened on April 4th, and you Lying to cover up the reason for being at the scene of the accident, can you explain why you did it?"

When Cao Wu saw the dead old man in the photo, he quickly hid back and said, "It has nothing to do with me!"

Ji Zheng said: "Since it has nothing to do with you, why are you lying?"

Cao Wu nervously looked back at the workers on the construction site, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was hesitating when he heard Ji Zheng coldly say: "The police are investigating you, if you don't explain clearly, I can only hand you over to the police .”

After all, it was the first time he was "bluffing and deceiving". When Ji Zheng said this, he was also a little uncertain. He was worried that Cao Wu would refuse to admit it, and he would not be able to really take him to the police station.

But Cao Wu quickly compromised, looking at Ji Zheng with a pleading face and saying: "Boss, I can't help it. My daughter is going to college this year, and my wife is sick. My family needs money urgently, so I pulled the building materials from the construction site." Some went out to resell. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please let me go..."

Ji Zheng raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and frowned, "Selling building materials?"

Cao Wu took off his helmet, revealing the scalped Mediterranean Sea, and said with a sad face: "My father-in-law lives in Fuzhou County, and his house has a big yard. Every time I bring building materials to my father-in-law's house, let him Contact the buyer."

"Where is your old man now?"

"At home? You want to talk to him?"

Cao Wu said that he was about to broadcast the old man's phone call, but was stopped by Ji Zheng.

Ji Zhengdao: "Even if you really resell building materials, it can't prove that you have nothing to do with the car accident. Your car is so close to the old man who was killed. You must have witnessed the whole process of the car accident. If you didn't participate, then you can see it. Explain the process in detail."

Cao Wu said anxiously: "I didn't see anything!"

Ji Zheng looked at him gloomyly and said, "Say clearly."

Cao Wudao: "My car suddenly broke down at the intersection, and I forgot my toolbox, so I got out of the car and went to the hardware store to buy a wrench. I didn't even see when the old man died. When I came back, I only saw There was a dead person lying on the road, and I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I drove away in a hurry."

Ji Zheng's heart sank suddenly, he didn't expect that this light truck was in a stationary state when the accident happened, as he had guessed before.

Discouraged and discouraged, Ji Zheng still asked: "Is there anyone to testify for you?"

"Yes, the owner of the hardware store has seen me, and he can testify for me. It was raining too much at the time. I hid from the rain in his shop for a while and chatted with him for a while. He should still have an impression of me."

"Which hardware store?"

"It's the Daqing Hardware Store next to the bridge hole."

"How long have you been in the store?"

"Twenty minutes is less than half an hour."

Ji Zheng tried to find out the loopholes in his words, and asked carefully: "When did you arrive at the hardware store?"

Cao Wu immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "When I just entered the hardware store, my wife called me. Let me check the call time—5 o'clock, 5:23! Look."

Ji Zheng took his mobile phone, and there really was a call at 5:23. If it was true as Cao Wu said, he entered the hardware store at 5:23 and hid from the rain for about 30 minutes, then he left the hardware store. Around 5:53.The Daqing hardware store is two kilometers away from the accident site, and it would take at least 25 minutes for an ordinary person to walk and be affected by the rainstorm.The time when Cao Wu returned to the T-junction where he stopped was around 6:18.

The car accident happened at 6:7, and Cao Wu returned to the scene of the car accident after 6:18, staggering the time of the incident, and at 6:18, Xu Hui, the assistant police officer, should be chasing the escaped Gong Haiqiang. A corpse of Lei Honggen.

In such a short period of time, it is unlikely that Cao Wu will quickly fabricate a lie to avoid the time of the incident perfectly, and he keeps saying that his father-in-law and the owner of the hardware store can testify for him.

Although it was literally confirmed that Cao Wu had nothing to do with the car accident, but before confronting witnesses, Ji Zheng still did sufficient evidence collection according to the plan.

"Is this the car you drove that day?"

Ji Zheng patted the car door and asked.

"Yes."

Ji Zheng went to the front of the car and squatted down, and carefully looked at the headlights, license plate, and bumper that may have blood stains and traces of a car accident.

Got nothing.

He stood up, opened the door, got into the driver's seat, and checked the front, rear, left, and back.

Cao Wu stood outside the car, looking at him nervously.

Still no clue.

Just as Ji Zheng was about to get out of the car, he held the door handle and pushed it away. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an umbrella with cyan polka dots on a blue background lying under the driver's seat.

He jumped out of the car with an umbrella, opened it and asked, "Is this your umbrella?"

Cao Wudao: "I don't know whose umbrella this is. I picked it up at the door of the hardware store."

"Pick it up?"

"When I went to the hardware store, a little girl stood at the door to shelter from the rain. After a while, she took a taxi and left. The umbrella was thrown at the door of the store."

Provincial Highway 718, little girl...

These three pieces of information reminded Ji Zheng of the '718 case of hiding corpses in bridge caves'.

Ji Zheng took out his mobile phone and logged on to the webpage to find the news about Hong Xin's murder.The case of Peng Mao, the owner of a clothing factory, who raped and killed a female worker became a sensation, and the victim's face was spread to various platforms and websites.

"Is it this girl?"

Ji Zheng found a clear frontal photo of Hong Xin and asked Cao Wu to identify it.

Cao Wu squinted his eyes and looked away from the sun and said, "It's her, this girl is beautiful, I remember her."

In the photo, Hong Xin has fair skin, a long face, fine eyebrows and eyes, and a pair of eyes that are particularly focused. He has cute short hair that reaches the ears, and is beautiful and pleasant.

However, she died on April 4th on Provincial Highway 15. Three days later, her naked body was washed out from under the bridge by sewage.

Ji Zheng asked: "Did you see this girl get into a taxi?"

"I see. I saw her get into a taxi with my own eyes."

"time."

"I went into the hardware store with my front foot, and she walked away with her back foot, and she stopped for less than 5 minutes."

纪征低头沉思，这么说来洪芯搭出租车的时间是5点27分左右。也就是说洪芯在4月15号的5点27分还活着，并且搭乘了一辆出租车。

He didn't know the process of Hong Xin's case, nor did he know the details of the police investigation, but the information he got from Cao Wu at this time did not come from Min Chengzhou.In other words, Cao Wu is a witness that the police do not have, whether it is the car accident case against Gong Haiqiang or the rape|murder case against Hong Xin.

"You said that Hong Xin got into a taxi, did you see the license plate number?"

"Boss, aren't you embarrassing me? It's raining so hard that people can hardly see clearly. Who has time to look at the license plate number?"

Cao Wu saw him standing silently for a while, then turned around and wanted to leave.He was anxious and wanted to pull Ji Zheng's arm.

Ji Zheng kept watching him from the corner of his eye, and seeing that he seemed to want to make a move, he grabbed Cao Wu's wrist from one side, twisted his thick steel-pipe-like arm behind his back, and quickly inserted his right foot between his legs Ready to hook his ankle at any time and pull back, pushing him towards the car door.

"What?"

Ji Zheng asked coldly.

Cao Wu was pressed on his back by his arms, and he lost his focus and fell forward. He lay on the door of the car with a 'bang', and said repeatedly in pain: "No, no, no, I have something to say!"

Seeing this, a worker ran over quickly: "What's going on? Why are you still doing it—"

Before he could finish a sentence, Ji Zheng stared him in place.

"Go, go, go!" Cao Wu drove the workers away, turned his face with difficulty, and said, "Boss, please don't tell us Mr. Zhang that I resell building materials. I still have a family to support."

Ji Zheng turned him over and leaned against the car door, and took a picture of him with his mobile phone, and then let go of him, saying: "This is not an example."

He took two steps to the side of the road, then turned around and said, "Keep your phone on, I will contact you anytime."
