Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 583 The shocking discovery of bones (7)
"Yes, that day he asked me to put on the shoes he gave me and accompany him to the Devil's Mountain to quarry for stone ears. He said that as long as I was willing to accompany him, he would give me half of the stone ears. I knew that he was collecting stone ears. I could earn 400 yuan a day. I was bored anyway, so I went with him. However, when I saw him climbing up the steep cliff with his bare hands, I was worried that he would have an accident, so I told him to finish work early. We went home and walked to Minghuang Valley. At that time, both of them were very thirsty, so they went to drink water from the creek together," she recalled.

"When did this happen?"

"It's been almost half a month, right? Yes, it's been half a month. It was the day of the harvest. We also picked a basket of mugwort leaves and went back to his house to make mugwort cakes to eat."

Wu Jiang turned on the perpetual calendar on his mobile phone and saw that the day of Mangzhong was June 6th, and Chiye was killed on May 5th. There was a gap of 5 days. Fang Hongli's words should be more true.

They felt that there was nothing wrong with Fang Hongli, so they left her house and returned to Gu Chengcai's house.

Wu Jiang saw that it was still early, so he sat down, took out the Yichuan sandals and Mulinsen sandals, showed them to Gu Chengcai, and asked him if he knew any villager who would wear such sandals?In fact, Wu Jiang had basically ruled out sandals of sizes 41 and 40 in his mind, because the murderer wore size 42 shoes.

However, some highly intelligent criminals will confuse the police by wearing small shoes with big feet, especially sandals, because the uppers of sandals are open and the toes can protrude a few centimeters from the tip of the shoe, while it is impossible for leather shoes and sports shoes to protrude the toes a few centimeters. , unless the suspect deliberately cut the toe of the shoe.

Gu Chengcai said that these two types of sandals were worn by many villagers, and he could not remember them all clearly.Wu Jiang thought that it would take a lot of time to investigate from this aspect, not to mention that there were many surrounding villages with tens of thousands of villagers living there. If he wanted to investigate thoroughly, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Even if he found the two owners of the shoes, it would be impossible to give them the money. conviction.

So, Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke said goodbye to Gu Chengcai.

They came to the only small restaurant in Songzhuang. The owner was named Song Yibo. He was nearly 60 years old. When they saw Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke walking in, they thought they were going to eat because it was almost time to eat.

"Boss bosses, do you want to eat?" He smiled modestly.

"I'm sorry, we are from the criminal police team of the city bureau, and we are here to understand the situation."

"Oh, that's good, please sit down, please sit down." He took two folding wooden chairs and handed them to Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke, and then went to get a cup to make tea, but Wu Jiang declined.

"Boss Song, do you know Ning Yishu and Fang Hongli?"

"Brother Yishu is from our village. Of course we know him. Fang Hongli is a celebrity in our area, not to mention." When he mentioned Fang Hongli, the corner of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic smile.

"They said they drank in your restaurant late at night on May 5th and didn't go back until after one o'clock in the morning on the 29th. Is that true?"

"Oh, I don't remember the specific date of that day, but it was probably the three nights from the 29th to the 31st of last month. That night, Ning Yishu, Fang Hongli, and two of Ning Yishu's nephews came to me. I drank 24 bottles of beer in the store. They were chatting lively, but I was terribly sleepy. Very few customers stayed until past 1 o'clock."

"Please help us think about what night they came to drink. This is very important to us."

"Oh, well, my brain is really hard to use. I keep accounts every day. There are specific dates for how much I earn and how much I pay, because this is opened by my daughter-in-law and I, and we have to share it."

"Please bring us the account for that day."

"Okay." He nodded to Wu Jiang, walked to the counter, opened the drawer, took out a diary-like account book, walked up to them, opened the account book, and found the income and expenditure account for May 5. , looked at it, and then handed it to Wu Jiang: "This is the account for the day."

Wu Jiang saw that the last income was 420 yuan, but he did not record the name of the customer and could not confirm that it was Ning Yishu who paid the order.

"Boss Song, why didn't you remember the customer's name?"

"We never remember the name of the customer unless we need to reimburse. However, there are very few cases where reimbursement is required, so there is no need to remember the customer's name."

"Then how can you be sure that Ning Yishu paid for it?"

"It's not Ning Yishu who pays the bill, it's his eldest nephew who pays for it. The business of our small shop is not good, and very few people eat for so much money. Don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong. If you don't believe it, you can check the accounts and take a look at the past two months. Has anyone ever purchased a large order worth 420 yuan?”

"Okay, I believe you, when did they leave?"

"It was about 30 o'clock in the morning on the 1th. At 1 o'clock, they finished paying the bill and said they would drink the remaining bottles of wine and leave. I lay on the counter and slept for a while. When I woke up, they had already Let’s go, I closed the door and went to bed.”

"Okay, thank you!" Wu Jiang shook hands with him and said goodbye.

They got back in the car and Xiao Ke drove towards the city bureau. "Brother Ang, do you think what Boss Song said is reliable?"

"Of course it is reliable. He is a small businessman. There is no need to perjury for Ning Yishu. Besides, I have been observing his expression and he did not lie."

"I'm worried that after Ning Yishu and Fang Hongli finished drinking, they rushed to Minghuang Valley to kill Chi Ye. We assume that Chi Ye died close to two o'clock in the morning on the 30th, and Boss Song doesn't know at what time they left. He may Take advantage of this loophole."

"Your idea makes sense, but after drinking five or six bottles of beer, would a 70-year-old man take Fang Hongli to Minghuang Valley to kill people?"

"The problem is that we don't know how many bottles of wine he drank. If he only drank two or three bottles of beer, it is possible that he went to the crime scene. Look at Ning Yishu's agility and super memory, which should not be underestimated. .”

"Let's put this question aside for now and ask Ning Yishu's nephew tomorrow, or call Guan Shanlin to ask how he drinks. If he drinks well, he can stay sober even after drinking five or six bottles of beer... No , I don’t think Ning Yishu has the guts to kill anyone, otherwise, he wouldn’t live in poverty.”

"He is a typical person with high IQ and low EQ." Xiao Ke answered.After the car entered the provincial highway, it became crowded. They listened to various horns and no longer had the intention to discuss the case.

At work the next day, Wu Jiang reported the investigation to Jiang Yiming. After Jiang Yiming heard this, he thought about it and suddenly felt that he had heard Fang Hongli's name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Perhaps you heard it at some police station? Fang Hongli was once handled by the police station when she worked at Canary Hair Salon." Wu Jiang said.

"No... Oh, I remembered it. I saw Fang Hongli's name in Chi Ye's call records." Jiang Yiming has a super memory. When he was in junior high school, he memorized "The Story of Yueyang Tower" by heart in two hours, and he still knows it by heart. Don't forget.

Because Chiye rarely called Fang Hongli, he and Zhou Ting did not visit her. Chiye's call record included more than 700 people, so she was not traced in a short period of time.In order to confirm that he remembered correctly, Jiang Yiming opened the file cabinet and took out the call record sheet printed from the mobile company's business hall to check it.

This is all the call records of Chiye in the past two years. He has spoken to a total of 701 people, which shows that his circle of friends is very large. Of course, most of them are his loan sharks and gamblers.

Jiang Yiming watched carefully for half an hour and said, "Old Wu, in the past two years, Chiye has only called Fang Hongli 9 times, and Fang Hongli has only called her 6 times."

"No wonder on the way home yesterday, Xiao Ke said that Fang Hongli and Ning Yishu might have gone to Minghuang Valley to kill Chi Ye after drinking in the restaurant. I was still opposed to it at the time, but I didn't expect that Fang Hongli was actually related to Chi Ye."

"In that case, you and Xiaoke go to Fang Hongli again and see what she says."

"I feel that Ning Yishu will not kill Chi Ye, because he has nothing to do with Chi Ye."

"Chi Ye is a temperamental person. If Fang Hongli said that he would marry her and asked him to kill Chi Ye and share the treasure equally between the two of them, then Ning Yishu would most likely kill Chi Ye. They would form an alliance and jointly attack us They lied and even went to Boss Song’s place to drink on purpose, so that Boss Song could testify that they were not at the scene of the crime.”

"Captain Jiang, you are right. There must be something wrong with them and Chi Ye. Xiao Ke and I will continue to investigate along this line." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke came to Songzhuang. They borrowed a motorcycle from Guan Shanlin, and Xiao Ke drove it from Songzhuang to Baishui Falls as quickly as possible. It only took 20 minutes.

The two of them parked their motorcycles under the Baishui Falls and jogged towards Minghuang Valley. It only took them 18 minutes to reach Chi Ye's death place.If Ning Yishu used this method to rush to the scene from the Songzhuang restaurant, it would only take 38 minutes, enough time to kill someone.

"But... Chiye is an old man and rides a bicycle at night. How can he be as fast as us?" Wu Jiang felt that it was impossible for Ning Yishu to arrive at the scene before two o'clock in the morning on May 5.

"Angkor, don't forget, he is as agile as we are, and he has been walking on this road for five or sixty years. He knows where there are turns, where there are uphills and downhills, and where there are even small pits. Therefore, he can definitely arrive in 60 minutes, probably faster than us."

"You're right!" Wu Jiang had to admire Xiaoke's careful thinking.

They drove the motorcycle back to Guan Shanlin's home and returned the motorcycle to him.

"Officer Wu, if you need any more help from me, just ask." Guan Shanlin parked his motorcycle in the garage, then took a look at the white BMW car parked inside. He found nothing wrong before he walked out and said.

"Well, I still have two questions for you to help with. One is to ask you about Ning Yishu's drinking capacity; the other is to ask you to take us to find Song Dajiang and Song Xiaojiang."
