Chapter 29: Trunk

Mu Xuecheng recorded the surveillance video around Lijing Garden on the night of June 28, and finally made a breakthrough. She was very excited, jumped up and rushed out of the office area, and bumped into the oncoming police in the corridor.

Gu Hai.

The marble floor had just been mopped and was a bit slippery before the water was dry. When she saw Gu Hai, she braked suddenly, but she still slid forward for more than a meter like an ice skater. She made a whoosh and collided with Gu Hai.

"Oh shit!" a mantra popped out of her mouth, and then she moaned in pain.

Gu Hai was the one who suffered the force. Just now he grabbed Mu Xuecheng's shoulders in time, and Mu Xuecheng's head hit his chin and his lower teeth. The pain caused his facial muscles to twitch. But he didn't say a word.

, secretly confirming that his gums were not loose and his teeth would not fall out when he opened his mouth, then he said slowly: "You stepped on my foot."

Mu Xuecheng jumped back and looked down, seeing half a hazy footprint on Gu Hai's brand new snow-white sneakers, "Ah, this is that, is that some famous brand? It's a new model, I'll wipe it for you.

clean!"

She very casually took out a tissue from her pocket and squatted down to wipe the footprints on Gu Hai's shoes.

Gu Hai was shocked and knelt down on one knee with a bang, holding her arm firmly: "No, no, no need."

Mu Xuecheng stared at his shoes: "The mark is not yet dry, it will fall off as soon as you wipe it, and it will not be wiped off after a while."

A drop of sweat fell from Gu Hai's forehead: "It's okay, no need to wipe it."

There was a sound on the stairs, and Qi Tianlei came up with two bags of takeout. He saw Mu Xuecheng and Gu Hai kneeling on one knee in the corridor. He walked over and stared at them for a while, wondering: "Are you sworn in or proposing?"

Gu Hai quickly let go of his hand and blushed very innocently.

Mu Xuecheng said: "I soiled Brother Hai's shoes, and Brother Hai didn't let me clean them for him."

Gu Hai left them behind and walked quickly to the office.

Mu Xuecheng shouted: "Brother Hai, take off your shoes and I'll take them home and wash them for you!"

Qi Tianlei's eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he understood many common things in the world in an instant, and sighed: "Xiao Mu, brother, am I really hopeless?"

Mu Xuecheng was confused: "You also want to be stepped on by me?"

Qi Tianlei: "...your understanding ability is very good."

The two people carried the heavy takeout to the office, and the policemen who stayed in the office gathered together to have lunch. Mu Xuecheng opened the lunch box with fried rice, and suddenly remembered that she had important things to do: "Where is Team Han? Is he in the office?

"

Gu Hai said: "He's out."

Mu Xuecheng: "But you are all here, who is he going out with?"

Gu Hai: "Zhou Song."

Mu Xuecheng: "Zhou Song is about to become a foreign aid in our unit. Brother Hai, hurry up and eat. We will have to go out soon."

Gu Hai didn't ask anything, nodded, and then immersed himself in eating.

After eating, Gu Hai followed Mu Xuecheng downstairs. He didn't ask until he got into the car and sat in the driver's seat, "Where are we going?"

Mu Xuecheng said: "Go to Ziweiyuan Community."

Gu Hai drove the car out of the gate of the Public Security Bureau and drove onto the road: "Why are you going to Ziwei Garden?"

Mu Xuecheng raised her chin proudly: "I found a suspicious target on the surveillance cameras around Lijing Garden. Guess what kind of clever solution I came up with."

Gu Hai asked very cooperatively: "What can we do?"

Mu Xuecheng: "The time of Li Feifei's death was from 10 pm on June 28 to 3 am on the 29th. I searched all the vehicles that appeared in the surveillance during this time period, but the number was very large and there was a lack of targeted vehicles.

It is very difficult to screen in the surveillance area. But it suddenly occurred to me that it takes time for the murderer to kill, and it takes at least an hour to kill and bury the body, so I looked for cars that appeared more than an hour apart, and narrowed down the list and found one.

Suspicious vehicle. This car appeared on Youyou Road North at the original east gate of Lijing Garden at 15:00 on the 29th, and then appeared on Youyou Road North at 2:01, going in opposite directions, back and forth."

Gu Hai: "Has the car owner information been found?"

Mu Xuecheng: "Of course, the car owner's name is Zheng Jie and he lives in Ziweiyuan. Coincidentally, Li Feifei's ex-boyfriend Wen Zaizhou also lives in Ziweiyuan."

Gu Hai did not expect that Wen Zaizhou was involved again; Han Feilu was very suspicious that Li Feifei and Wen Zaizhou were disconnected, and suspected that Wen Zaizhou and Li Feifei had indeed agreed to travel together, and the plan was terminated due to Li Feifei's death. But Wen Zaizhou

Zhou refused to admit it, insisting that he and Li Feifei had severed their relationship long ago and had nothing to do with Li Feifei's murder. They were not willing to believe it easily, but they could not come up with arguments to question Wen Zaizhou. At this time, Wen Zaizhou was killed in a car.

The car at the crime scene was dragged into the whirlpool, and the balance seemed to finally tilt in favor of the police.

Ziweiyuan community is old. Although the location is good, the management is lax. Outside vehicles can enter at will without registration. Gu Hai drove into the community and saw private cars parked in a row along the corridor. There were no parking spaces on the roadside.

, it was the car owners who spontaneously parked their cars on the roadside. He followed the Romans and found a spot to park the car. The two of them found Building 6, Unit 3, Area A, and took the elevator upstairs.

Zheng Jie lived in No. 803. Gu Hai rang the doorbell for a while, but no one opened the door. It was time to knock again, but he never thought of alerting the neighbors diagonally across the street. The door opposite was pushed open, and an aunt in her fifties asked them

: "Who are you looking for?"

Mu Xuecheng said: "Auntie, let's find Zheng Jie. Is this his home?"

Auntie: "Are you looking for Xiao Zheng? None of his family is here."

Mu Xuecheng: "When does his family usually come back?"

The aunt waved her hand: "The family went back to their hometown to attend the funeral."

Mu Xuecheng: "Going to the funeral? When did they leave?"

Auntie: "It's been more than half a month since I left. It seems to be June 15th."

Mu Xuecheng and Gu Hai looked at each other, quietly curled their lips to show that they were frustrated, and then asked without giving up, "Have their whole family returned to their hometown?"

Auntie: "Yes, Zheng Jie's grandfather was in a car accident. In addition to the funeral, he also had to go to court with the party responsible for the accident. He is the only college student in the whole family, so we all have to count on him."

Mu Xuecheng: "How did they leave? Did they drive?"

Auntie: "They take the train."

Mu Xuecheng took out her mobile phone and looked at the surveillance screenshot: "Then do you know that Zheng Jie owns a black Chia with the license plate number 1752?"

Auntie: "Xiao Zheng does have a car. It's black and the brand is Chia, but I don't remember the license plate number."

From this point of view, it is unlikely that the vehicle is a fake car, and their trip was worthwhile.

Coming out of the unit building, Gu Hai said: "Zheng Jie went back to his hometown on June 15th, but his car appeared near Lijing Garden in the early morning of June 29th. Wasn't he the one driving the car?"

Mu Xuecheng said: "Now we can only call Zheng Jie to ask about the situation."

She has found out Zheng Jie's mobile phone number and came here in person to avoid alerting others. But now that Zheng Jie is not in Yucheng, the only option is to call and ask.

Gu Hai dialed Zheng Jie's number, and the other party answered quickly: "Hello, is this Zheng Jie?"

There was a noisy background sound over there, with a woman crying. Zheng Jie said, "I am, who are you?"

Gu Hai: "I am a criminal police officer from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Shangyuan District in Yucheng City. My surname is Gu."

Zheng Jie: "Ah? Detective? Hey, stop crying, I'm on the phone here!"

The phone rang for a while, then the background sound disappeared, and Zheng Jie seemed to hide in a quiet place.

Zheng Jie: "Interpol, right? Hello, hello. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Gu Hai: "Where are you?"

Zheng Jie: "I was in my hometown of Yanggou County, and something happened at home."

Gu Hai: "When did you leave Yucheng?"

Zheng Jie: "When? Let me look at the ticket - it's 3:10 a.m. on June 15th. What's wrong, comrade police?"

Gu Hai: "You own a black Chia with the license plate number 1752?"

Zheng Jie: "Yes."

Gu Hai: "Have you ever lent your car to anyone?"

Zheng Jie: "No."

Gu Hai: "There was a murder case recently in Yucheng. Your car appeared near the crime scene in the early morning of June 29th and has been identified as a major suspect vehicle. You must cooperate with us to find the driver who drove that night and answer the questions

You have to think carefully before doing this.”

Zheng Jie was startled: "Homicide? But I did not lend the car to anyone else. Did you make a mistake?"

Gu Hai: "We didn't make a mistake. Please think carefully about whether you gave the car keys to anyone else."

Zheng Jie: "Car key? Yes, yes, I remembered it. I lost a car key last month and used a spare one. The problem is that I don't know who picked it up."

Gu Hai: "Where do you usually park your car?"

Zheng Jie: "I parked my car in the open space between Building A3 and Building A4."

Gu Hai gestured to Mu Xuecheng, and the two of them walked along the corridor of the community while looking for Building A3.

Gu Hai asked again: "Who knew you lost your car keys? Who else knew you weren't in Yucheng during this period?"

Zheng Jie said: "As soon as I knew it, we lived in the same community, and he was also present the day I lost my car keys."

Gu Hai: "Do you know where the key was lost?"

Zheng Jie: "I probably know that that day we took my car back to the community. I drank some wine and felt like vomiting as soon as we got off the car. A ditch was dug behind the community office building in our community, so I lay down on the edge of the ditch and vomited.

The car key fell in and was washed away by the water. We both jumped in to look for it, but we were in the dark and gave up after searching for a while without finding it."

Hearing this, Gu Hai had a conjecture in his mind; maybe he, a young boy, returned to the water channel a few days ago, and this time he no longer returned without success, but found the bunch of car keys.

Gu Hai: "What's your little boy's name?"

Zheng Jie: "His name is Wen Zaizhou. He works in a venture capital company and lives in Building 4."

Mu Xuecheng had been holding Gu Hai's arm and wanted to put her ear to Gu Hai's mobile phone, and heard Zheng Jie's words clearly. When Zheng Jie said Wen Zaizhou's name, she excitedly went to

Gu Hai punched his chest hard.

Gu Hai coughed due to her punch and almost spit out a mouthful of blood: "I understand, keep your phone open and we will contact you later."

Mu Xuecheng: "Wen Zaizhou, it's Wen Zaizhou again, he didn't run away!"

There is indeed an open space between Building A3 and Building A4, with seven or eight cars parked on it. The black Chia was parked on the side, parked smoothly, as if it had been parked there for a long time.

Gu Hai checked around the car and wanted to look in through the car window, but the car window was covered with dark privacy film, so he couldn't see anything. He then looked at Building A4 to the east and said, "Today

It's a working day, and Wen Zaizhou will most likely not be at home, so we have to go to his company to find him."

Mu Xuecheng rolled her eyes and said, "No, we have to find the car key first."

Gu Hai: "How to find it?"

Mu Xuecheng: "If the car was really driven away by Wen Zaizhou, his car keys could only have been picked up from the ditch. Do you think he would put the car keys back in their original places after using the car?"

Gu Hai: "You mean the car keys are still in the ditch?"

Mu Xuecheng: "You will know after you look for it."

The two of them found a canal dug inside the community from the east gate to the west gate. The canal was very narrow, nearly one meter wide, and the banks were covered with willow trees. There was no water released at this time, and it was dry to the bottom. Gu Hai called Zheng Jie again to ask.

The exact location where the key was lost and the direction of the water flow.

The two of them took their positions at the place where Zheng Jie lost the key, and followed the direction of the water flow that night to the west. After walking a few dozen meters, Mu Xuecheng pointed forward and said, "Look, there is an iron net blocking the front."

A fine iron net was placed in front of it to block garbage in the water and facilitate cleaning. At this time, paper shells, plastic bags, leaves and other objects were blocked in front of the iron net.

Mu Xuecheng jumped down and kicked away the stones with her feet: "There are so many stones down there and there are iron nets blocking them, so the car keys will definitely not float away." She kicked a few times and suddenly squatted down, "Found it.

!”

She picked up a bunch of car keys from under several ice cream bags, with nail clippers, bottle openers and other items hanging on them. She shook them excitedly, making the keys jingle.

Gu Hai held her hand and pulled her up from the river, saying, "Go back and try."

On the way back, Gu Hai took a closer look at the car key and found that the back cover was slightly loose, as if someone had opened it. He smelled it and smelled of alcohol, so he said, "The back cover of the key has been taken apart."

Mu Xuecheng said: "The car key has been soaked in water. If the battery is not dried out, the electric board will be burned if used directly. This means that the car key was indeed picked up and thrown back!"

Returning to the open space where the car was parked, Gu Hai pressed the unlock button and the car lights flickered. He opened the car door and looked inside, saying, "Don't touch the inside yet. Pull the car back to the unit and check it carefully."

Mu Xuecheng walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, searched around inside with her eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Hai!"

Gu Hai walked over quickly: "What's wrong?"

Mu Xuecheng: "Do you have an evidence bag with you?"

There was no evidence bag, but there was a clean transparent plastic bag that he took off the takeout box. He neatly folded it into small squares and put it in his pants pocket for recycling. He gave the bag to Mu Xue

Cheng, Mu Xuecheng asked him to hold on to the trunk lid, went down and put his gloves in the bag, and picked up a small, unknown object from the edge of the car.

When she held the thing and straightened up, Gu Hai saw clearly that it was a green beaded earring as long as a fingernail.

Mu Xuecheng said excitedly: "I remember that when Li Feifei's body was found, she was wearing an earring exactly like this one in her right ear, but not in her left ear. It turned out that it was left in the trunk!"
