serious crime

Chapter 8 Massacre (7)
Yao Shun was quite surprised by this result. Xue Qi is an ordinary college student. According to the investigation, her social circle is mainly composed of classmates and members of "Youjia". If Xue Qi really has a boyfriend , most likely hidden in these two social circles, but the results of the investigation did not find any suspicious people.

"Is there a problem with the direction of my investigation? Or Xue Qi has another unknown social circle? Or is it true that she has never been in a relationship?" Yao Shun frowned thinking.

Just as he was thinking, the phone interrupted his train of thought, and the technical investigators asked him to go there immediately. They had unlocked the password of Xue Qi's chat software, and found some suspicious content from the chat records.

"What's the situation?" Yaoshun walked to the computer and asked impatiently.

"In Xue Qi's chat account, most of them are classmates and netizens of the website 'Love Youjia'. The chat content is also very ordinary and there is nothing suspicious, except for a netizen named 'Harbor to Avoid the Storm'."

"A shelter from the wind and rain? Who is it?"

"Xue Qi put this friend in a separate 'lover' directory, and the personal information registered by this netizen shows that he is a male. I believe this person is very likely to be Xue Qi's boyfriend."

Hearing this, an excited smile appeared on Yaoshun's face immediately, and he asked a little excitedly, "When did this person and Xue Qi start chatting, and what was the content of the chat?"

"From the time point of view, Xue Qi added him as a friend half a year before the accident, and after chatting for almost a month, the two finally established a formal relationship. Judging from the content of the chat between the two of them, they I met at a netizen gathering organized by the website 'Love Youjia', but because Xue Qi was worried that her parents would find out about her relationship, she kept dating her in secret, which is the so-called 'underground love'. During the holidays, she often She deceived her parents on the grounds that she was making up lessons for the students. In fact, she was secretly dating the man. On the day of her car accident, the man asked her to meet, but it seemed that there was a problem with their relationship at that time. It was the man's ex-girlfriend who wanted to get back together with him and get married, so she asked Xue Qi to come out and explain the matter face to face."

"Sure enough."

Yao Shun shouted excitedly, startling the technical investigators on the side, he also realized his gaffe, and quickly smiled and said: "Sorry, sorry, I'm too excited, I lost my composure, I lost my composure. "

"It seems that this time Yao team, your guess has been right again!"

"Part of it, part of it." Yao Shun said with a smile.

"Captain Yao, you can't do this every time! You have guessed all the clues, so we technical investigators will be laid off soon?" the technical investigator joked.

"You can't say that. Guessing is one thing, and your investigation results are another. The two complement each other in criminal investigation and are indispensable. If my guess is not confirmed by you, then It can only be regarded as wild guessing, and it will not help solve the case." Yao Shun said modestly, "Come back to business, besides the situation just mentioned, are there any more clues about the 'haven to escape the wind and rain'?"

"Yes, all of Xue Qi's pornographic photos were taken for her by 'Harbor to Avoid the Wind and Rain'. Xue Qi also praised the other party's level of photography and photo processing in the chat, and 'Harbor to Avoid the Storm' said very modestly Among his peers, his level can only be considered average."

"The level of taking pictures and processing photos can only be regarded as the middle level among the peers? From this point of view, 'Help from the Wind and Rain' is likely to be a professional photographer."

"Yes, and he is still working in a wedding dress studio, because in several chats with Xue Qi, he mentioned that the newcomer who made an appointment has come to take pictures, and he has to go to work first."

"Well, this clue is indeed important, so did he mention which wedding photo studio he is working on?"

"That's not mentioned."

"Did you mention the identity of his ex-girlfriend?"

"Neither this one."

"Then how did Xue Qi react when she found out about 'Harbour of Shelter' and his ex-girlfriend?"

"She has always wanted to keep 'Help from the Storm' and persuade him to break up with his ex-girlfriend, but 'Help from the Storm' said it was impossible, because his ex-girlfriend was a very stubborn person, and his ex-girlfriend He was asked to break up with Xue Qi, and he was caught in a dilemma, and finally his ex-girlfriend asked him to ask Xue Qi out, and the three of them explained the matter clearly face to face, and the time of meeting was the day Xue Qi suffered a car accident."

"Then, has this 'haven for shelter from the wind and rain' been online recently?"

"We've been keeping an eye on his account, but he hasn't been online, so we can't track him down."

"Well, keep watching his account, once you find him online, immediately track down his location." Yao Shun said.

The appearance of "Harbor to Avoid the Wind and Rain" finally gave Yao and Shun a glimmer of light. Although his real identity is still a mystery, at least it proves that Yao and Shun's judgment is correct. Xue Qi does have a boyfriend, and she is likely to be in a car accident. Something to do with his boyfriend, but whether he had anything to do with the two murders, we'll only find out if he's found.

Yao Shun and the scouts carried out a meticulous investigation around the clue of "a haven to escape the wind and rain".

They sorted out the members of the "Painting Youjia" website again, found out all the staff working in the wedding photo studio, and then conducted investigations one by one.

There are a total of seven people working in the wedding photo studio, three of whom are women in charge of the reception, and the other four are male photographers.

Among the four photographers, three are still working in the wedding photo studio. According to the investigation, they are either married or have regular girlfriends, and they have no emotional relationship with Xue Qi.Only one photographer named Shen Hui resigned from the photo studio after Xue Qi's misfortune, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

After learning about this situation, Yao Shun immediately rushed to the wedding studio where Shen Hui used to work to find out about the situation.

According to the owner of the photo studio, Shen Hui is introverted. He doesn't talk much at work and rarely hangs out with his colleagues. His only hobby is raising dogs.His level of photography and photo processing is considered the best in his studio. Because of his concept of striving for perfection, many newcomers who come to take artistic photos or wedding photos name him to be responsible.And Shen Hui's resignation can be said to be very sudden, but it is a sign, because before resigning, Shen Hui's mood was very unstable, often sitting alone in a daze, taking pictures and processing photos very carelessly, making mistakes one after another, encountering When the guests questioned him, he cursed and almost started fighting with the guests.

"Do you have a photo of Shen Hui?" Yao Shun asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it." The boss returned to the office after speaking, searched inside for a while, and then came out with a photo, "This is Shen Hui."

Shen Hui has handsome and prominent facial features, just like a character in an anime.The slightly long hair and the stubble around the cheeks make him look a bit uninhibited, and the pair of slender peach eyes under the sword-shaped eyebrows make him full of sentimentality. It can be said that he is The temperament exuded is quite complex, giving people an elusive feeling.

After seeing the photos, Yao Shun finally understood why Xue Qi was with Shen Hui without telling her parents.

"How tall is Shen Hui?"

"About 1.75 meters."

"Then have you seen this girl?" Yao Shun took out Xue Qi's photo and handed it to the studio owner.

The owner of the photo studio took the photo and looked at it carefully for a moment, then said: "I don't have any impression. If she is a guest of my photo studio, I will have a little impression, but I have never seen this girl before."

"She is not a guest of your studio, but Shen Hui's current girlfriend."

"Shen Hui's current girlfriend? No wonder he often chats with his mobile phone and sends text messages by himself this year. At that time, I wondered if he had a girlfriend, but when I asked him, he said no. It’s no wonder that he kept it a secret because he was afraid of being snatched away by such a beautiful girl!” The owner of the photo studio joked as he looked at the photos.

"Impossible, he is gay, how could he find a woman?"

At this time, a staff member of the photo studio suddenly said such a sentence.

"Who is he?" Yao Shun looked at the speaker and asked the studio owner.

"He is also the photographer of our studio, named Liu Ning." The owner of the studio introduced.

"You just said that Shen Hui is gay? Is there any proof?" Yao Shun asked.

"Evidence? Is what you saw with your own eyes counted as evidence?" Liu Ning asked rhetorically.

"But didn't he have a girlfriend before? How could he be gay?"

"It wasn't before, but then my sexual orientation changed!"

"Can you tell me about the situation in detail?"

"It's like this. Shen Hui was indeed not gay before, and he was quite cheerful, but after breaking up with the previous woman, he was hit hard because he loved that woman very much at the time, as if the two of them knew each other in college. After entering the society, the woman began to change when she learned more, becoming very materialistic, shopping every day, and wanting the best. Shen Hui has been working hard to make money, and sometimes even Borrowing money from colleagues like us, but that woman is like a 'bottomless pit' that can't be filled at all. The relationship of several years is vulnerable to money. Later, the woman ran away with a rich old man and became someone else's' Mistress', and Shen Hui has become very withdrawn since then, and his sexual orientation seems to have changed."

"Then do you know the name of that woman? Where can I find her?"

"I only know that woman's name is Yang Lin, but I don't know where to find her. This happened a few years ago, and we don't know each other very well. I only know that she seems to have gone to Shenzhen."

"Then keep talking!"

"One night, I went to a bar with my friends. There was another bar next to that bar, but it was for gay people. When I came out with my friends, I happened to see Shen Hui and a man coming out of that bar. When they came out, the two hugged each other, and the man even kissed Shen Hui, that scene was really..." Liu Ning didn't continue, he paused, and then said: "Later Shen Hui found out that I was looking at him , looked very embarrassed, took the man and left, and then he became even more taciturn. Seeing that our colleagues also stopped talking, he probably thought that I told him about him, for fear that we Laugh at him, but I really haven't told anyone about that."

"Do you remember what that man looked like now? If you are asked to provide a portrait of this man now, can you recall it?" Yao Shun asked.

"It happened three years ago. Besides, I just glanced at it at that time. I didn't have a deep impression. I only remember that the man was white and clean. As for whether I can recall the specific appearance, I can only say that I will do my best." , I can’t guarantee whether it looks like it or not.”

"Then trouble you to go back and make a puzzle with me later, try to remember as much as possible."

"Okay then, I'll do my best."

"Ask another question, is Shen Hui's screen name 'Harbor to Avoid the Wind and Rain'?"

"Yes, yes, he has always used this screen name and hasn't changed it for several years."

Liu Ning's affirmative answer was 100% sure of the relationship between Shen Hui and Xue Qi.

"By the way, boss, do you have Shen Hui's address and contact information?"

"Yes, but he has moved, and the number of his mobile phone has also changed, because I tried to find him back before, but the phone didn't work. I went to the rented house to look for it, and the person who lived there also changed."

"It's okay, you tell us, we will investigate."

According to the address provided by the photo studio owner, Yao and Shun found Shen Hui's residence, but as the photo studio owner said, the people who live here have already changed, and the other party is just an ordinary tenant, who doesn't know about Shen Hui's situation.And Shen Hui's previous mobile phone number has long since ceased to be used.

Just when the investigation of Shen Hui's clue was about to reach a stalemate, another group of scouts who were in charge of investigating around the vegetable market found Shen Hui's whereabouts in the previous list of investigators. Locked as a suspect, so it did not attract the attention of scouts.

After learning of this situation, Yao Shun quickly led scouts to Shen Huixin's address.

This is a residential complex built 8 years ago. Shen Hui lives on the 5th floor of Building 7 in the community. This is consistent with the water quality mentioned in Li Wei's autopsy report.

In front of Shen Hui's unit, Yao Shun first listened quietly on the door, and then knocked on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time.

However, the sound of knocking on the door disturbed Shen Hui's neighbor next door. A man frowned sleepily, and shouted dissatisfied through the anti-theft door: "Knock why, let no one sleep! That family moved out long ago!"

"Police, please open the door." Yao Shun took out his ID and said.

Seeing that it was the police, the man immediately woke up. He hurriedly opened the door, and said with embarrassment: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know it was you the police who handled the case. The tone was heavy just now. I just came back from the evening shift. I was woken up just after I fell asleep, so..."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's because we quarreled with you! Those who don't know are innocent." Yao Shun laughed, "Did you just say that the people who live here have moved away?"

"Yeah! This person is quite strange. Since he moved here, he has locked himself in the house all day long, as if he was in jail. He occasionally went out to buy some food, and he never talked to anyone. He met him once in the corridor. , I greeted him, but he ignored me."

"Is this the person in the photo you see here?" Yao Shun took out Shen Hui's photo and asked.

"Yes, yes, this is the person, but no photo looks so handsome, and the person looks thinner, and looks very haggard."

"When did he move out?"

"A few days ago, someone from the neighborhood committee went door-to-door to investigate, saying that it was a census, but no one answered the door a few times, but it is not clear when he moved out. Could this person be a black household? It can't be a wanted criminal!" The man asked nervously.

"Could it be that our investigative action has overwhelmed the snake?" the scout asked in a low voice in Yaoshun's ear.

"It's possible!" Yaoshun replied, and then he asked the man again: "Recently, has this man acted abnormally?"

The man scratched his head, thought carefully, and said, "Abnormal behavior? I don't know if it counts. It seems that there is still a woman living in this man's house. It was nothing before, but I have often heard They quarreled, and the man told the woman to get out, probably because of something awkward! Also, I work in customer service, and sometimes I have to go to get off work, and I don’t get off work until 12 o’clock in the evening, and it’s almost 1 o’clock in the morning when I come back. , Just a few days ago, when I came back in the early morning, this man was dragging a big bag out, but he was wearing sunglasses and the brim of his hat was pulled down very low. If it wasn't because he came out of the house, I really couldn't recognize him He came. I wanted to say hello to him and ask him if he needed help, but he didn't even look at me, lowered his head, and dragged his sack downstairs."

"When did they start arguing?" Yaoshun asked.

"Probably in January! But I don't remember the exact time, it was before Chinese New Year anyway."

"Then when did you meet this man dragging a big bag out?"

"It's the 15th of this month, because I went to Xiao Ye at that time, so I remember the time very clearly."

The time mentioned by the man was exactly the time when Li Wei was killed.

Shen Hui is not only related to Xue Qi, but also likes dogs very much, and by such a coincidence, he lives near the market where Li Wei set up a stall, and when Li Wei was killed, his whereabouts were very suspicious, which undoubtedly further deepened Yao Shun's suspicion. Doubt him.

"Immediately find a locksmith to open the door. In addition, immediately contact the owner and ask him to come over." Yao Shun said without hesitation.

The lockpicker easily opened the anti-theft iron and wooden doors, and Yao Shun and the scouts quickly rushed into the house.

Although it is daytime now, because the curtains in the house are tightly closed, the room is pitch black, and the situation inside the house can only be seen vaguely with the help of the faint light penetrating through the curtains.

Yao Shun reached out and pressed the power switch by the door, and as the fluorescent lights came on, everyone finally had a clear view of the situation inside the house.

There is nothing special about the furnishings in the house. Like most rental houses, there are very simple coffee tables, sofas and combination cabinets, and an old TV set is placed on the cabinets.

Scouts quickly searched the house.

Yao and Shun walked to the window, opened the curtains, and strong sunlight immediately shone into the room, replacing the brightness of the fluorescent lamps.

"Captain Yao, we found something in the toilet."

The so-called discovery of the scouts is not a small discovery, but a major discovery.

What was presented in the toilet was an extremely bloody picture. From the floor to the wall, you could see the splattered dark red marks that had already dried up everywhere. At first glance, it looked a bit like a random graffiti work. It's a pity that the faint smell of blood in the air told everyone present that everything in front of them was not graffiti.

"Call the forensic doctor and the on-site investigation immediately," Yao Shun ordered.

"Team Yao found a microwave oven in the kitchen, and traces of suspected blood were also found in the gaps inside and outside the oven."

"It seems that we have found the first scene of the crime. Shen Hui is currently the biggest suspect. Immediately search for Shen Hui's whereabouts throughout the city, and conduct surveillance at the train station, bus station, and airport. Shen Hui must not be let go." Hui fled the city, and now he is an extremely dangerous person."

While the forensic doctor and investigators were searching the scene, the landlord also rushed to the scene. He knew very well that there must be something important for the police to call him. When he saw the cordon and serious expression on the door After hearing the police, he immediately became nervous. He knew that something had happened, and it was definitely not a trivial matter.

"I'm the landlord, what happened?" the landlord nervously asked the police at the door.

After hearing the voice, Yao Shun walked to the door and asked, "The police suspect that the tenant living here is involved in a serious criminal case."
