But the old teacher said that you should go directly to Cheng, after all, she is a student in her class.
Cheng had retired, so I got her address from the school and visited her.
Cheng looked at the photo and immediately recognized the person in it.
"May, Chan, Qian and Ying were students of the senior year of 93." Cheng, who is in his late 70s, wears reading glasses and points out the four students in the photo.
"You can remember!" I can't help but sigh that Cheng has been teaching all his life and has taught countless students, but he can name the first four students in twenty years, which has to be admired.
"I'm flattered, these students left a deep impression on me, otherwise I couldn't remember them." Cheng took off his glasses and spoke slowly.
Before I could speak, she asked me again, "What case are you investigating?"
I said, no big deal, a theft, probably involving these students.
Cheng nodded and looked thoughtful: "I thought..."
I quickly asked, what do you think?
But Cheng smiled and said it was nothing, I remembered it wrong.
Confused, I turned to her and asked, "Why were they so impressive to you?"
Cheng gave me a strange look and asked, "You don't know?"
That made me even more curious. I said I didn't know.
Cheng sighed, took the photo, pointed to May and said that the girl had not graduated before the accident.
May was very good at school, are ready to be released, but her character is poor, steal classmates things, and finally was found, made to the police station, lost the qualification of parole, and then fell into the water and drowned.
This news surprised me, I only heard that she was wrongfully killed, did not know that there is such a case.
Pointing to Chan, I asked Cheng to recall his past.
Cheng thought for a moment and said: "He and May are lovers, they began to talk about objects when they were in high school, wrote a review for this matter, invited parents, and was punished by the school, I remember that Chan was once beaten by May's brother."
I'm a little confused. Ganny told me he didn't know Chan at all.
Cheng said she heard her brother later joined the army.
Ganny did go to Yunnan for military service.
When asked about the other two, Cheng said that Ying and May, the grades are good, her father used to be the secretary of the iron and steel factory, No. 8 High school is the former iron and steel Factory high School, she is a big miss, the school teachers know her.
Ying later got the qualification of May and went to North China Normal University.
I don't have a deep impression on Qian. It seems that ordinary students did not go to college after graduation. They joined the steel factory by taking advantage of the recruitment policy at that time.
I wanted to ask more details, but Cheng said he had to go to the hospital for a check-up and could only make another appointment.
Finally I left a card and left.
I called Feng and told him about these things. I asked him to find out how to contact Qian and Ying and try to make an appointment to talk with them.
I hung up the phone and got into the car, thinking I had to fill up the gas before I saw anyone, and the car was running out of gas.
But I waited in the car for about 20 minutes, and Feng didn't let out anything.
I quickly called him: "Feng, did you find the phone? Why do you look like a Double 11 delivery? "
"Don't worry, I'm checking it. Qian found it, but Ying doesn't seem to be in our system. We haven't found it yet."
"Didn't Qian find her home address? Contact information?"
Feng hesitated: "I do have her contact information, but..."
"But what?"
"She's a mental patient."
"Maybe it's intermittent insanity. Go."
According to the address on the file, we found Qian's house in an old residential area on the outskirts of the provincial capital.
Qian is not at home. She has been receiving treatment in the hospital.
Qian's father died early and her mother is in poor health. Qian has a younger sister who takes care of her all the time.
When Qian's mother finds out that we are police officers, she is very disappointed. At first, she thinks that we are help workers from the neighborhood committee.
Qian has been ill for nearly ten years. At first, she has only intermittent illness, but later she has a persistent illness, often hitting people and smashing things. Her mother and sister can't take care of her, so she has to be sent to a mental hospital.
I took out a photo of the four people. Qian's mother only recognizes her daughter and has no impression on the others.
"What's the matter with her illness? "
Qian's mother said, "Qian has been timid since she was a child. Ten years ago, she was stimulated at work. We didn't care about it at that time.
I said I wanted to visit her and let Qian's sister take us to the mental hospital.
Feng drove and soon arrived at Nanshan Psychiatric Hospital.
When he comes to the entrance of the inpatient department, Feng suddenly turns around and asks Qian's sister, Is there anything particularly taboo that we should not mention?
In my heart, I secretly gave Feng a thumbs-up, and I did not expect that this big old man also had a time of being careful.
Qian's sister says that Qian should not make or receive phone calls in front of her.
Why?
My sister's illness was frightened by the phone, and she became ill when she heard the phone ring.
Well, that's the first I've heard of it. Please tell me more.
At first, my sister could not hear her phone ring, and when it rang, she was afraid. Later, she could not hear any phone ringing, no matter who was ringing, she would tremble with fear.
Did someone call your sister to provoke her?
Qian's sister nods: Yes, someone threatened to kill her before. We called the police, but when the police arrived, she changed her story and said that her friend was playing a joke on her.
You didn't find out who called?
I know it was a man. I don't know anything else.
Feng suddenly interjected: Then look through her phone records!
When I touched her phone, she threw it in my face... And she always deletes calls as soon as she's done, never leaves a record.
As soon as I got into the ward, I got a shock.
A female patient, shaven, fat, came up with her pants down.
I quickly dragged Feng to turn around, and then heard someone nearby reprimand: You are not ashamed! Put your pants on!
I didn't expect Qian's sister to be so angry.
When I finally met Qian, I was shocked again.
Qian is less than 40 years old, but she looks like a 60-year-old. Her hair is mostly white.
Because Qian has been taking medication for a long time, she feels a little groggy. During the conversation, I would ask her a question, and she would either not speak, answer the wrong question, or just giggle.
We talked for half an hour and got nothing out of it.
I said let's call it a day. I took out the photo and gave it to Qian.
Unexpectedly, she only looked at one glance, as if she had seen something extremely scary, her expression instantly turned to panic, screamed loudly, and then took the photo, tore it to pieces three times and two times.
Now even Qian's sister is dumbfounded.
I quickly called the nurse, tried to calm Qian down, and took the photo fragments back.
On the way back, the three of us didn't talk much. Later, Qian's sister says: "There is another photo in my house."
So, Feng and I went to her house again, and she had a hard time looking for it, but couldn't find anything.
She was apologetic: I remember my sister had a handbag that she never allowed to be touched, and I guess the picture was in that bag, but now I can't even find the bag.
I said it's fine, think about it, and call me when you find it. "And handed her a business card.
On the way back, I asked Feng to quickly find the information department and find out who had been calling Qian repeatedly.
As a result, the information department reported back that many calls had been made to Qian, but each call was made only once, and there was absolutely no second call. Checked it out. It's all black cards. It's hard to trace.
Now there are four people in the photo, only Ying has not seen them.
According to Feng, various information platforms have been checked, but the person could not be found.
How can people disappear, whether alive or dead, there must be a trace, are we looking for the wrong direction?
Feng and I were thinking about this matter, and the branch called, saying that Ganny had come again and insisted on taking May's ashes, and there was a quarrel in the bureau and asked me how to deal with it.
As soon as I heard that, I was furious: tell him to go home, we said we'd give him back when the case was sorted out, we're not a fucking ashes collector, it's evidence, it's fucking evidence!
Feng glanced at me, did not speak, took out a cigarette and handed it to me.
I lit my cigarette, took a breath to calm down, and called the precinct again to see if Ganny was gone. They say they just walked for a while.
After getting off the phone, I asked Feng to drive directly to Ganny.
At his door, after knocking for a while, Ganny opened the door with a dirty face.
I reassured Ganny that it was all about the case, not about you. Ganny had a step down, and the tone was soft, saying that he was too impulsive.
Seeing that he stabilized, I said that I came here to learn about your sister's relationship with Chan.
What do you mean, you can steal ashes if you have connections?
I asked back, "No, I heard that you hit Chan at the gate of No. 8 Middle School, is that true?"
Ganny thought for a moment and said: "My sister is good-looking, there are many men chasing her, I taught a few, as for which is Chan, I do not know ah."
I think so. Let him tell me what happened to May.
Ganny wondered, "Does this have anything to do with the investigation?"
"It does," I replied. "Chan, who stole the ashes, died a few days ago."
Ganny was stunned on the spot.
In August 1996, Ganny served in Yunnan Province. One day, the instructor found Ganny and said with a heavy face, "Something has happened at your home. Your sister unfortunately fell into the water and died."
Ganny and her sister feel very good, very painful sister, but not good at expression, can only silently buy things for her sister.
At that time, Ganny spent a lot of time thinking about what gift to give her sister as she was about to go to college. But instead of waiting for news of her sister's college education, Ganny waited for news of her death.
Ganny immediately asked for leave to return home, but by the time he got home, the funeral was over and he could not see May one last time.
I asked Ganny, "How did my sister die?"
"I always thought it was strange." Ganny frowned.
Ganny learned the bad news on the same day, with the brigade leader to ask for leave, the brigade leader also agreed, let him hurry to go through the procedures, go back early to take care of the affairs.
However, when Ganny finished the formalities and looked for the instructor to sign, the instructor gave him the leave, but it was delayed until three days later.
Ganny wondered why it was broken and asked the instructor why he couldn't start today.
The instructor says you're the backbone of the narcotics mission, and you need time to transition before you leave.
Ganny, anxious to death, had to obey orders, and could only impatiently hope that the three days would pass quickly.
But unexpectedly, after three days, the fourth day early in the morning when packing, the instructor suddenly found him, said that there is an urgent task to deal with, he must complete.
Ganny was angry on the spot, said what do you mean, delay and delay, said three days after the holiday, how the fuck make a mess.
With a straight face, the instructor said that this was not a request for your opinion, but an order from the leader, and that you either obeyed, or you were first placed in detention and then punished.
Ganny wanted to kill at that moment, gave the instructor a hard look and left angrily.
After two more days, the instructor finally let him go, he grabbed his luggage, found a car nearby and went straight to Guiyang Airport.
It was the first time Ganny had ever taken a plane, and before that, a plane was not an option for him to return home because it was too expensive.
Flying cost Ganny half a year of his allowance and greatly reduced the time it took him to get home.
But he did not catch a last look at his sister, and when he arrived at the door, he found that his parents had just returned, holding the jar containing his sister's ashes.
When his parents met Ganny, they were very surprised. According to their calculation, Ganny should still be in Guizhou.
But Ganny was more surprised because he met a big leader.
Big leader said, sorry, I was in Beijing for a meeting, after knowing this, quickly rushed over.
This made Ganny very moved, but also very confused, before never heard of which comrades relatives died, the big leader made a special trip to his hometown condolence.
When Ganny returned to Yunnan, he learned that the big leader did not go to Beijing at all, but the instructor informed Ganny of the bad news that afternoon, he set out from Yunnan and went directly to his home by plane.
Ganny did not understand why the big leader did this, but he always thought there was a secret.
I asked Ganny, "Do your parents know what's going on?"
"I was just going to say that, and that's strange, too."
When Ganny came home to see her parents, the first thing she asked was how her sister died.
Dad said she slipped at night, accidentally fell into the water and died. He took Ganny to the pond where his sister fell into the water.
But the pond was far from his home, almost halfway across the city.
Ganny was very skeptical: it was so late at night, and her sister had little courage, how could she go to the pond so far by herself?
His father said that during this period of time May be in a bad mood, often a person to go out to relax, which is also to blame me, not able to stop her in time.
Ganny did not understand: "She wrote to me some time ago, saying that she was immediately recommended to North China Normal University, fantasizing about college life, which is called a bad mood??"
Further questioning, my parents said they did not know anything.
Ganny went to his sister's teacher and classmates, but all of them only replied to him with three words - don't know.
He asked a lot of people, and finally spent money from a school ruffian that know, May because of stealing things, lost the qualification of parole, want to take suicide.
This made Ganny difficult to accept, and he ran to the police station again.
Police said that May is indeed stealing things, but the case has been closed, the case has told his parents, let him go home to ask his parents.
This time, Mom and dad couldn't hide it, so they had to tell the truth.
It turns out that May stole the valuables of her classmates and was found out, and then the eligibility for the recommendation was cancelled. She was so ashamed that she committed suicide by diving in the middle of the night.
Ganny wanted to ask a few more words, was scolded by his father, when the holiday time was approaching, he had to go back to Yunnan first.
"Back, and that's the end of it?"
"No, there are stranger things."
At the beginning of 1998, Ganny's service expired, because of his outstanding performance, the big leader wanted him to continue to stay in Yunnan, and gave him an upgrade.
But Ganny wanted to go home to find out the cause of her sister's death, and declined the big leader.
A few months later, when Ganny completed the transfer process, he thought he would be assigned to the steel plant where his father worked.
But the result of the placement came out, and he was even assigned to the "Qinghe" district people's Government small team.
Ganny is silly, he can not even drive, but was divided into a small team, turned to ask the staff, the other side told him, yes, it is a small team.
"You probably don't know how hard it was to get into the team," Ganny said.
In the past few decades, the children of ordinary families want to change their fate, many of them rely on being soldiers, after all, after retiring, they have the opportunity to work in the system.
When Ganny retired, the overall environment drove many soldiers who joined state-owned enterprises to become laid-off workers. His comrades at the same time, squeezed their heads to the "drought and flood guaranteed" government departments or institutions to drill.
Among them, the small team is especially sought-after, is an iron rice bowl, has a good future, and may be able to be a small leader.
Ganny has a comrade, many meritorious awards, and the relationship to spend a lot of money, just into the county's small team, and Ganny did nothing, but directly to the city's small team.
I interrupted Ganny's memory. "Obviously, someone was helping you."
Ganny nodded: "I think so, also asked the parents, said that uncle to help arrange, he has a position in the steel factory, the city also has many acquaintances."
Since then, Ganny entered the small team of organs, has been smooth, first as the captain of the small team, and later transferred to the logistics department of the organ, the identity also smoothly became a civil servant.
Feng teased him: "Originally it was my uncle who helped, people say that my uncle is half father, who does not help you?"
Ganny shook his head: "He doesn't have that much power, there must be someone behind him." I went into the office to find out who that person was so that I could get along better in the office."
"Did you find it?
"Yes, but I only met him once."
Once, Ganny and uncle drink, uncle drink too much, told Ganny, help him arrange work called Yan, is then the Party secretary of the iron and steel company, now has been transferred to the municipal government.
Ganny was very excited. Unexpectedly, Yan was the one who helped him. After that drink, Ganny always asked uncle to drink, asked him to help pull the strings, but uncle drink more, all a mouth rebuffed.
Ganny had to find other ways and finally contacted Yan, but he denied helping Ganny.
When I saw Ganny go too far, I asked him, "Where are we on your sister?"
Ganny sighed and fell silent.
I suddenly thought, "Have you seen Daughter Yan?"
Ganny looked puzzled and asked me, "What daughter? "
"Yan, the man who arranged your job, has he met his daughter?"
Only then did Ganny react, laughing that Yan had only met him once, and he didn't know what was going on in his family.
I thought we were done, so I said goodbye.
When Ganny sent us, he said with emotion: "Chan's brain is broken, really love May, just discuss it with me, ashes are not only one way of placement, must steal, life is stolen."
On the way back, Feng asked me, what did that mean?
I said Ying, you forgot?
Cheng said earlier that Ying's father used to be a steel factory secretary, and I suspect it is Yan.
Back at the precinct, Feng had left beforehand, so I called the "Tangshan" precinct and asked them how the investigation was going.
They said they found the white Jetta, it's a ride-hailing car, gave a statement to the driver.
The network appointment driver said that Chan was normal that day, unlike drinking alcohol, he had an appointment, kept calling on the road, and stopped halfway to wait for a friend.
The driver was charged extra and waited for half an hour in vain. Chan made another call and asked the driver to go to the reservoir area.
Chan got off the bus about a kilometre from the Linjiaba reservoir.
The driver was wondering how someone could get off in a place like this, in the middle of nowhere. He also reminded Chan that there were no cars, but Chan said this was the place.
When the driver made a U-turn, he looked in his rearview mirror and saw Chan get into a black sedan, but didn't see the license plate.
"Tangshan" branch verified the network about the driver's claim, sent people to the "Linjiaba" reservoir near the visit, looking for the black car, and Chan to eat in the restaurant.
I said, "Chan should be the online booking driver with the black card."
"Yes, the online booking driver provided the number and sent someone to check the call records."
On July 12, 2016, Feng came to the "Chengnan" branch office and shouted, "Lam, I have found Ying!"
As we said earlier, Feng checked Yan's household registration and showed that he had a son named Hoong and a daughter named Jieng.
Feng looked at the photo of Jieng and found that they looked identical to Ying. Is it the same person or a twin?
Logically, the residents changed their names, and we can check the previous name records, but Jieng did not use a previous name.
Feng also said Jieng had a record of involvement.
Lam, in 2006, the woman's body in the dormitory of the thermal power plant, do you still remember? I was looking through the files and I saw your name."
At the time of the incident, I was just a rookie who had joined the police for two years and worked as a community police officer in the police station.
At that time, I did not directly participate in the investigation of the case, but did some peripheral assistance work, such as cooperating with the project police to conduct community visits.
Feng took out a volume from her handbag, and as soon as I opened it, the memory was awakened.
In 2006, Jieng, a 28-year-old power plant worker, lived alone in an apartment assigned to him by his work.
In the early morning of October 21, Jieng's mother came to deliver food to her daughter, knocked on the door for half a day, no one answered, she gave her daughter a call, but heard the mobile phone ringing in the house.
She looked out of the window, and though it was dark in the room, she saw her daughter.
Lying in bed, unconscious, Jieng switched from knocking to banging on the door, but when her daughter did not respond, she called the apartment manager and opened the door with a spare key.
As soon as she entered the door and turned on the light, she was frightened out of her mind by what she saw.
Jieng lay on the bed, her neck slit, arterial blood sprayed all over the room, the white wall next to her bed, almost stained with blood.
The room was a mess, things had been rummaged everywhere.
Jieng's mother passed out on the spot and the caretaker called the police.
Jieng's murder took place on October 21, 2006 and was classified as the "October 21 Project".
The police investigated the scene and determined that it was an intentional homicide. The suspect made it look like a burglary, and although the room was messy, Jieng's phone was still on the bed.
This case is highly regarded by the bureau, and it needs to be solved at all costs. Because of the special identity of the victim's father, named Yan, is the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the provincial People's Congress.
In order to solve the case, the public security organs sent the strongest lineup, the most capable and experienced police officers from all over the provincial capital. When my father was the head of the provincial public security organ, he served as the head of the task force.
Jieng lived in the apartment, she is alone, the others have moved out with the factory. The night she was killed, the apartment manager had been drinking with friends, went to bed early and didn't hear noises from Jieng's room.
At that time, video surveillance was not widespread, and there was no video data. No murder weapon was found at the scene, no useful DNA was collected.
The whole house was turned upside down, but there weren't any prints or shoe prints.
But half a bloody fingerprint was found on a telephone pole about 100 meters from the crime scene. After testing, the blood on the blood fingerprint matches Jieng's blood, which is the only clue.
The municipal Public Security Bureau arranged police officers to visit and investigate the whole city, and compared the fingerprints of people with criminal records and residents in a specific area, and the number of people was nearly 100,000, and finally found nothing.
The provincial government even once suspected that "foreign hostile forces" were responsible.
The case was never solved, and gradually no one talked about it anymore.
In 2011, I worked another case, also involving Jieng.
At that time, I was the deputy director of the "Xiaojie" police station, and one day I received a report that two families were arguing about the water dripping from the outside of the air conditioner.
I quickly resolved the dispute, and when I was ready to leave, I heard a mother-in-law complain: "This family lacks great virtue, sooner or later it will suffer retribution, just like that Yan, when he became a high-ranking official, what about it? Ten years ago, she forced her girl to death, and later her own girl was also killed by someone."
At that time, I did not pay attention to this, went back to the office to sort out the information and found this paragraph, and then I turned over Yan's information and found "10·21 project".
I felt that my mother-in-law's words were very strange, and applied to re-investigate the "10·21" project, but there was still no new discovery, and the mother-in-law had never seen her again.
The file is under dust-only my name is on it.
Feng's expression was solemn and he didn't know what to say.
I took out a photo of four people, think the photo is too weird, the above four people, now three dead and one crazy.
What's the story behind the ashes heist? Chan is full of lies, Cheng is ready to talk, Ganny is full of doubts, all of which make us wonder.
Feng said there are now three unsolved cases. The deaths of May, Chan and Jieng are all mysteries.
Jieng is dead, but she also has a brother named Hoong, I asked Feng to check Hoong and said that he emigrated early and was not in the country at all.
Feng asks: Why don't we go and meet Yan?
I said wait, let's start with the nearest one. What division handles Chan's case?
"Tangshan Branch Office."
"Is it Zheng they who are checking the car?"
Feng patted his head and said how to forget him.
We rushed to the "Tangshan" precinct.
Zheng said, Lam, you really do not want to go to the Three Treasures Hall.
I said, you really should read more books, this is at most a shabby hut, but also dare to call yourself the three treasure hall.
Zheng laughed and turned his head to look at Feng: "Feng, you are really a disaster, even eating hot pot and singing songs can lead to a criminal case."
I said stop it, you two, and get down to business.
After Chan's autopsy found food in her stomach, Zheng sent a visit, focusing on restaurants along the way.
A search led to a remote restaurant where three men drove a black car to eat at noon the day before Chan's death.
The location of the restaurant is too small. It was the only table we had at noon, and we had to go into the box. When the food was served, they closed the box door and ate all noon.
Zheng said: "On a hot day, the air conditioning in the box is broken, there is only one fan, and the door is closed. They are really heat-resistant."
They ate until about 1:30, and when they came out, one was drunk, and the other two helped him into the car.
I asked him, "The drunk one, is that Chan?"
Zheng said, frowning, according to the shopkeeper's description of his dress, it is likely to be Chan, but the store has no surveillance, can not confirm.
"Where did they go when they got out?"
Zheng shook his head, unable to say clearly, it is estimated that he went in the direction of the dam, because the road at the door of the restaurant only leads to the "Linjiaba" reservoir area.
"Did you get the license plate?"
Zheng says no, but the sedan is an old Passat, and we're checking.
As soon as Feng and I came out of the Tongshan branch office, we received word from the telecommunications department that they had found Chan's phone records before his death.
We sifted through and picked out three groups of numbers, the first two groups of numbers are not my account, but they have frequent phone records with Chan, and also confirmed the network about the driver said that Chan continued to pick up and call.
The third set is a landline, and Chan had a one-minute call before he died. Strangely enough, three days after Chan's death, this landline made a dozen calls to Chan.
And this landline number turned out to be the front desk number of a small hotel near the city's train station.
Feng and I rushed to the hotel, called "Xiangyun Hostel", with two floors, simple decoration, and lots of stains on the floor tiles, feeling that it had not been properly cleaned.
At the front desk of the hotel, I showed my police card and confirmed that the third group number was Xiangyun Hotel.
I said to the front desk, why do you keep calling him?
The receptionist rummaged through the log: "This is the number left by the guest, he hasn't come back, the luggage is still in the room, we want to ask him if he is still staying."
Feng wondered: "If Chan has been living here, why haven't we found any information about him?"
I suspect Chan changed his name and asked the front desk to check the tenant's name.
The receptionist said his name was Henny. I'll have the front desk take us to that room.
The luggage was scattered in the room, and there were cigarette butts in the ashtray. I looked, and there were two brands of cigarette butts.
I put the cigarette butts in the evidence bag while Feng rummaged through the backpack on the bed.
He opened his backpack and pulled out several items of clothing, including a yellow T-shirt and brown shorts that Chan had previously worn to the college of Construction Engineering.
I asked Feng to take the cigarette butts for testing, then call the nearby police station, lock down the room, and ask the forensic doctor to examine the scene.
Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived and set up a cordon outside the room. Half an hour later, forensics arrived with equipment and began their investigation.
The boss walked up to me and asked, "What happened?"
I said, "Don't worry about what's going on in the house, you're in trouble, take me to your surveillance room." Said I went to the stairs, a look up, only to find that there is no camera in the corridor.
I went to the front desk to check the computer and found that the registration system was not connected to the public security network, and even if Chan registered with his own ID card, we would not receive any information.
The discovery was embarrassing for the newly arrived police, who are supposed to check the registration system regularly and are also responsible for such problems.
The hotel owner saw that the situation was wrong, threw the pot forward, and asked her why the registration system was not connected to the public security network. But this is only his wishful thinking, as the legal representative of the hotel, he can not escape all the problems in the store.
The receptionist was a little girl who had never seen such a scene before. She almost cried. She held up the diary, pointed to Henny, and said, "That's him."
There was Henny in the book with a set of ID numbers, and the front desk said he didn't have his ID and gave it himself.
I asked her, what did he look like? Did he ring a bell?
Front desk said, male, about 40, thin, balding, local accent, can't remember what he was wearing.
I asked her how she remembered it so clearly.
She said: "He is a gangster, often come to the room, every time the number, never seen him with an ID card." Front desk didn't dare mess with him. Didn't ask for ID.
I opened the police pass, entered the ID number, and a photo of a woman named Xia appeared.
I clicked on Xia's profile and saw that she had a son named Herry.
Herry and Henny?
I clicked on Herry's message again, showed the photo that popped up to the front desk, and asked her is this the man?
The waiter took a look and nodded.
According to the information, Herry was a drug addict. I asked the policeman next to me, do you know him?
The police was very excited: "Deal with him all day, turn into ash I also recognize!"
"Bring him back immediately and send him with these people to the" South of the city "branch." I pointed to the innkeeper and the waiter.
Police searched for Herry all day and finally caught him in a public toilet near the train station, preparing to use drugs in the stall.
When I saw Herry, his face was black and his coat was torn. From his frightened eyes, you can see that on the way to the precinct, he has been "educated".
I cleared my throat and said, "Just ask you one thing, the more honest you are, the sooner we're done."
Herry nodded quickly, biting his tongue as he did so, grimacing in pain and squeaking twice.
I asked him, "Why did you get Chan a room?"
Herry looks puzzled. Who is Chan?
I mean, the guy who asked you to get the room.
"I don't know Chan," Herry said. "I opened the room for Easter."
The sound of another "Easter" popping up out of nowhere gives me a headache.
"Two weeks ago, Easter asked me to get a room for his friends," Herry said. "I often get a room for Easter, so I didn't ask."
"Why did Easter ask for your help, when you were a drug addict and had the courage to open a room in public?"
"So, I dare not go to a normal hotel, I can only go to a hotel without ID card."
I found out who Easter was and immediately sent for Easter.
Three hours later, Easter was arrested at a mahjong parlor. After entering the police station, he kept Shouting that he had not broken the law and that the police were arresting people.
At this time, Feng returned with the test results, the hotel cigarette butts contained DNA from three people, including Chan, and the hotel clothes also found Chan's epidermal cells.
I asked him, whose DNA are the other two?
"Not yet. No records."
Feng learned that Easter was uncooperative and asked him to do the questioning.
He took a pack of cigarettes, turned into the interview room and handed Easter one first. Easter paused for a moment, then reached out and took the cigarette.
Feng did not ask about the case, but talked to him about family matters: "Are you married? Do you have children? How is your family?"
Easter did not understand the way, answering in random sentences and chain-smoking.
The two chatted for almost an hour, one of you and one of me, and smoked a pack of cigarettes quickly.
Feng suddenly stood up, pulled out an evidence bag and picked up a number of cigarette butts that Easter had thrown away.
Then he walked out of the interview room without looking back, to Easter's surprised eyes.
Three hours later, Feng returned to the interview room with an extra file bag in his hand.
"Why did you kill Chan?"
Easter is visibly stunned, but quickly calms down. "Where's the evidence? How do you prove I killed someone?"
Feng said the DNA on your cigarette butt is the same as the DNA at the scene of Chan's murder, which is the evidence.
Feng later told me that it was purely "cheating" him, and it was unexpected that "cheating" had produced evidence.
Easter was excited. "That's impossible," he said. "I only opened a room. I didn't kill anyone!"
