On the way back to the city bureau, Li Jie suddenly received a call from Leng Xiaobing.
"Xia Mu, where are you?"
"Team Leng, I'm on my way back. I'll be at the station in about ten minutes."
"Okay, when you get to the bureau, come to my office immediately."
"yes."
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Leng Xiaobing continued to write and draw in his notebook.
Have certain medical knowledge
Have access to anesthetics and muscle relaxants
Age, between 35-45 years old
Doctor, from a good family background, qualified for photography
Can you take photos?
Are there any burns on your hands?
Date of disappearance, September 15, 2000?
have to!
have to!
Leng Xiaobing frowned and kept tapping the knuckle of one hand on the table.
The more the investigation proceeds, the greater the suspicion of Shen Haiyang becomes.
A person suddenly and inexplicably disappears, and the disappearance lasts for seventeen years. It is just because of elopement, which is really unreasonable.
This reason is too lame.
What was the task force doing on September 15, 2000?
Leng Xiaobing patiently recalled the situation that year. He was wondering if Shen Haiyang was aware of some movement of the task force.
Then it shocked him so much that he thought he had been exposed to the police's sight.
Therefore, he left his daughter who was still in school and ran away alone.
But thinking about it carefully, Leng Xiaobing didn't expect anything special. He went to the police because he received a call from the police.
Later, they also followed the clue of the police phone number to investigate.
'wrong!'
'etc!'
'Telephone!'
That phone!
(There is a slight change here. In the original drama, Leng Xiaobing and Xia Mu got the phone from the owner of the small shop.
Actually, this is a bit unreasonable.
The 'suspect' used this phone to call the police and left a mutilated fingerprint on the phone.
Obviously, this phone is one of the important exhibits and the police should have taken it away, but the phone was not taken away in the show.
In addition, as we all know, around 2000, landline phones already had a caller ID function, and outgoing calls could also be checked, and the chips in the phones were recorded.
According to the regular case handling procedures, even if the police returns the phone to the owner, the fingerprints and internally stored incoming and outgoing call numbers should be extracted in advance.
Because the storage space of previous phones was limited, once the memory is exceeded, the previous number will be automatically overwritten)
Upon thinking of this, Leng Xiaobing immediately got up and went to the archives room, pulled out the file on Xia Jinlan's murder that year, and found two pages filled with phone numbers in the file.
All the phone calls here are the numbers dialed by the canteen back then.
When he saw one of the pages, Leng Xiaobing suddenly let out a sigh.
There was a number inside that seemed familiar.
He seemed to have seen it somewhere.
The next second, Leng Xiaobing took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and took a look at the registration form for Shen Haiyang's disappearance.
This was taken by him before.
I saw a phone number clearly written in the contact information column on the registration form.
278037.
And this number also appeared on that phone back then.
"It's so careless."
Looking at the number page in his hand, Leng Xiaobing muttered to himself.
The number 278037 is ranked fourth after 110.
Because the phone was a public phone, the police did not pay special attention to all the numbers dialed from this phone.
In fact, there is another reason why this point was ignored. According to the owner of the small shop at that time, the murderer only made one phone call there.
That's the police phone number.
'etc!'
Suddenly, Leng Xiaobing noticed something was wrong.
There is a loophole here!
The 'murderer' is such a cautious person. He committed five crimes and never left any clues such as footprints, fingerprints, hair, and dander at the scene.
If it is said that the 'murderer' called the police to provoke the police, this possibility is barely reasonable.
But with the caution of the 'murderer', he would never leave his home phone number.
And not long after calling the police, he called his home phone number again.
This is unreasonable!
Leng Xiaobing clearly remembers that the time he received the alarm call was 11:50 a.m. on September 4.
From receiving the alarm call to dispatching the police to arriving at the scene, the time in between definitely did not exceed ten minutes.
Around 2000, canteens usually served as public phone booths part-time, but the people living near the printing factory's courtyard were all printing factory workers.
Most people are working at noon, so there is not much traffic nearby.
The alarm call was made at 11:50, and then three more people called, and then the number 278037.
Four phone calls, the interval must be about ten minutes, right?
If this is the case, that means they had already arrived at the scene when Shen Haiyang called his home?
There is a problem with this time!
At that time, the 'murderer' was committing crimes at Xia Jinlan's house. How could he have time to go downstairs and make a phone call?
Of course, all this is just Leng Xiaobing's speculation.
On that day, there were a lot of people calling at the small shop, and four calls were probably made within five minutes.
In this way, Shen Haiyang still has enough time to commit the crime.
But why did he call home while committing the crime?
This is unreasonable!
And it’s easy to reveal your identity afterwards.
Such an operation is unlikely to be carried out by a thoughtful murderer.
If the murderer of the Haizhou case was really so careless, the police would have caught him long ago. How could he have escaped justice for more than ten years?
Are all previous guesses wrong?
Is Shen Haiyang not the murderer?
Is there someone else who is the murderer?
In other words, Shen Haiyang knows the murderer?
He discovered the murderer's secret, or he knew that the murderer was preparing to kill, but he did not dare to personally stop the murderer from committing the crime.
After all, he is the father of a child, and the father and daughter depend on each other. If something happens to him, the daughter will become an orphan completely.
Therefore, he hoped to call the police and then the police would intervene to stop the murderer.
If this is the case, it makes sense logically.
Leng Xiaobing also thought that the police call was a bit strange. When he rushed to the scene, the murderer was taking photos of the victim.
Apparently, when they arrived at the scene, the murderer still had not left the scene.
He had a chance to kill the murderer. If he had fired that shot, Xia Jinlan might not have died if she had sought medical treatment in time.
To put it another way, if the police call was made by the murderer, and the murderer knew that the police would be dispatched, it would not be difficult to calculate the time when the police arrived at the scene based on the route.
Knowing that the police would arrive in ten minutes, why didn't the murderer leave the scene?
Instead, wait for the police to come to your door?
Isn't he afraid that the police will come in large numbers?
Isn't he afraid of using the police's gun?
Isn't he worried about getting caught?
This is no longer a question of provocation or not, but a question of stupidity or not.
