Criminal evidence

Naturally, Lu Qinghe wouldn't be so hypocritical that he would gossip about this wound.

What's more, if you really want to compare, can this plaster hand of mine be more serious than the scratch on Shen Changyan's arm?

No matter in terms of the timeliness of wound healing or the severity of the injury, a wound that can be removed within a week after suturing is better than a bamboo plaster cast that takes half a month. Starting fracture patients?

Because his injury was more serious no matter what, so Lu Qinghe would never do such a stupid thing to feel sorry for his brother.

Besides, he and Shen Changyan were born at odds, and it was normal for the two of them to be angry and bickering, but today it was a big victory for Shen Changyan to apologize first and give in first.

"So you're talking about Mrs. Gu's family. I know about them. A few years ago, this area was very chaotic. Let alone stealing children and cheating children, there are people who enter the house in broad daylight and rob children." .”

"Even if we call the police, it's useless. The police went back and forth to investigate for more than ten days. They asked about their appearance and characteristics. Even if someone saw the trafficker with their own eyes, so what?"

"The only solution now is to take good care of your own children, but not every family has this condition. Some people are too busy making money to avoid neglecting the family. It would be best if parents could come and help take care of their children, but no. People help to take care of them, lucky children just grow up like this perfunctory, unlucky ones, injured, sick, dead, and trafficked, this kind of situation is also common.”

"Besides, since the incident with Mrs. Gu's family came out, many parents of the older generation are a little bit reluctant to come to the city to raise children for their sons and daughters-in-law. They know that people are kind enough to help, but this unfortunate incident happened. Not to mention that I have no contact with my family, and I have become a little nervous after suffering this crime for nothing."

Shen Changyan always likes to start with the friends, relatives and neighbors around the parties involved.

He has always believed that the oral testimony of the bystanders is more convincing and accurate than the subjective narrative of the parties, and it also has more direct value for later analysis of the case.

When going deep into the alley, the first thing was to confirm the specific location of the old lady Gu’s house, and the second thing was to interrogate all the alleys where the girl’s disappearance case happened three years ago. again.

Now here is the sixth house, which happens to be the one before the No. [-] room where Mrs. Gu lives.

Lu Qinghe's arms were inconvenient, so Shen Changyan took the pen and paper to record this part of the confession.

At this moment, the sky has completely darkened.

Originally, both the first house and the second house still needed to knock on the door, and after explaining the original intention of the visit, they had to show the police officer's work card before they could begin to inquire about the details of the case.

In the end, for some reason, after the two families had left in a row, rumors of "the police are here to investigate the case" suddenly spread from the entrance of this alley, and soon everyone opened the door to welcome them.

The surrounding residents seemed to be complaining, and they kept talking to the two police officers about how much these crimes had affected everyone's daily life.

"The Gu family used to live in peace. Every family can hear the laughter coming from their yard at night. The children are well-behaved and obedient, the son is able to earn money, the daughter-in-law is virtuous and gentle, and the family is happy and sweet. Others can only envy her." part."

"It was that afternoon three years ago. Originally, Mrs. Gu had a cold and discomfort for a few days. She was uncomfortable, so she went back to her room and took a nap."

"She said that she told the child to only play in the yard, but the child is very playful, how can she remember this when she is naughty, and when she sleeps until the daughter-in-law comes home at night, then she remembers her grandchildren. The woman is still outside."

"Let's not talk about Gu's family that night. All the neighbors in the four alleys around here went out to help find someone. It was pouring rain. Mrs. Gu had a fever and fainted several times from crying. She was sent to the hospital and called the police. , I have been tossing and tossing for more than ten days, and I haven't heard any follow-up news from the little girl."

Lu Qinghe asked incredulously, "Didn't any of you see the girl on the day she disappeared?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it." The answers rang out in unison with a lot of regret, "But because people from nearby usually appear here, everyone didn't think much about it when they saw it. After hearing about the accident at night, it was already too late."

Lu Qinghe asked again, "Aren't there any clues? Such as strange faces, such as strange behavior?"

"No, no, not at all. It was past 1:[-] noon at that time, and there were almost no people on the street."

"And they are all children in the neighborhood. Even if you see her in the yard, at the entrance of the alley, or on the side of the street, how can you think of what might happen in the future?"

"It's also true that no one has seen human traffickers or strange people appear, or someone has accidentally bumped into them, but if they don't pay attention, they don't remember."

Everyone naturally hates human traffickers, but the strange thing is——

"If it's abduction, it stands to reason that the abduction rate of boys is much higher than that of girls."

Shen Changyan immersed himself in recording the whole process. After listening to the speeches of the neighbors, he hid behind Lu Qinghe and interjected, "But in these cases, the missing and dead are all girls."

"It's not just girls." Lu Qinghe turned around, "There are also underage girls."

Shen Changyan slowly remembered what happened two days ago. The woman who was beaten and hospitalized by gangsters with weapons and her missing daughter was a minor.

"Is that some kind of maiyin organization that forces women to commit crimes?"

"No way." Lu Qinghe was surprised, and he lowered his voice to retort, "A girl who is only 2 years old and 3 years old wouldn't be sent to that kind of place."

Shen Changyan said, "How did you forget Mu Duo's death so quickly?"

The little sister died of rape and murder - from the discovery of the body to the process of being sent to the freezer, Lu Qinghe had witnessed all the tragedies with his own eyes, how could he forget such a thing.

Shen Changyan's sudden utterance at this time was also a disguised reminder to Lu Qinghe not to be too emotional in handling the case, and he should not speculate on any criminals with a kind nature.

Even if it is more than not agreeing with this point of view, it is more unwilling to accept such a fact in my heart.

Even with these eyes, these years have almost seen all the bottomless malice in this world.

But Lu Qinghe still hesitated and insisted, "Probably not."

Shen Changyan didn't argue with him, but shook his head subtly and imperceptibly while recording the statement, and then he asked, "Have you ever lost a little boy around here?"

"I lost it too."

"Can you roughly estimate whether boys lose more or girls lose more?"

"This..." the onlookers seemed a bit embarrassed, "I just heard that this was lost and that was lost. No one has counted this number, but according to my personal feeling, boys should lose more."

"Boys get lost a lot?" Lu Qinghe shouted in surprise, "Then why, almost all the cases we got here were lost girls?"

"The disappearance case is not under the jurisdiction of the criminal investigation team." Shen Changyan reminded Lu Qinghe softly behind his back, "It's just that the information about the criminal case we received happened to involve several missing women. It may be a coincidence that the man lost the woman."

After Shen Changyan said so, he raised his head and asked again, "Could you please tell me which households lost their children at the entrance of the alley here? Would it be convenient for you to provide the victim's family name and home address?"

"It's okay to provide these to the police comrades, but what I said may not be accurate. If there are any mistakes in my memory, please bear with me."

"Where is it?" Shen Changyan said politely, then reached out and handed out the pen and paper in his hand and said, "Then I will trouble you."

A notebook was written down to the end, and the inner pages were all rolled up.

Shen Changyan's handwriting was elegant and proud. The uncle wrote two strokes, and when he saw his chicken-foot-like handwriting compared with others, he blushed and felt embarrassed.

Lu Qinghe stood among a group of aunts, and everyone told him how much harm and hindrance they had brought to their lives and psychology because their children were stolen and abducted.

At this time, catching the police is like catching a life-saving straw. It seems that as long as they reveal everything they know, the police in front of them can immediately solve these things, and they can immediately arrest these bad guys, and let them They leave this world forever.

After hearing these words, Lu Qinghe also felt very uncomfortable. He said, "The Gu family's child was lost, and Grandma Gu didn't do it on purpose. Even if she needs to bear part of the guardianship responsibility in this matter, but the son and daughter-in-law left in a fit of anger. They haven't come back for many years, why don't these relatives and friends of their family try to persuade them?"

The aunts began to sigh when they heard this.

"Why didn't you persuade me, but the meat didn't cut us, how can people let it go as easily as we do."

"They are all sweethearts who were pregnant in October. They have grown up by my side for two years. They are obedient when they go out in the morning, but they are gone when they come back at night."

"You said that if you were really sold and abducted, you still have an idea to find another good family to live on, but if you think about it a little bit, you still don't know what the child is suffering and suffering."

"If you say that it hurts a lot when you bump into it, but if something else happens, how can a mother bear this."

It was Shen Changyan's intention not to go to Grandma Gu's house for the time being. He said that he had basically grasped the details of the case.

In addition, it's already a little late now, it's not appropriate to bother, and I'm also afraid that some reckless places will unintentionally expose other people's scars.

"Go back tonight and sort out your thoughts. If you have any questions...Anyway, grandma will come to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow to ask about the progress of the case. If you have any doubts, then just ask again."

When Shen Changyan said that, Lu Qinghe had no choice but to wave goodbye to the enthusiastic neighbors and aunts.

"Anyone who loses a child will feel terrible. Please solve the case as soon as possible, catch all the traffickers who have lost their children and grandchildren, and then shoot them."

The wind in the middle of the night blew away some sticky hotness.

The return journey is not as difficult as it was when I came here, at least now it is quite comfortable to swagger and move back.

Shen Changyan frowned and carefully read the names and addresses of the family members of the other missing cases recorded by the uncle just now, although it is currently impossible to confirm that these missing children are directly related to the case in his hands.

But I still plan to visit all these families in the near future.

The light at the entrance of the alley is very dark, and a warm yellow street light shines on the ground at the intersection between the road and the road.

Shen Changyan has good eyesight, and the dim light and brightness as well as the frequency of walking did not affect his progress in thinking and reading notes.

He didn't forget that there was another person beside him, but he managed to completely ignore the other person, and immersed himself in his own world.

Until Lu Qinghe let out a long exclamation, "Ah——"

Only then did Shen Changyan get his attention, he closed his notebook and looked up, "What's wrong?"

"Remind you to go down the stairs."

The alley is paved with bluestone slabs, and some stone bricks have cracked a long gap because of their age. In the gap, a lot of grass and wild flowers sprouted from the bottom of the soil, which matches the long staircase with more than 30 steps in front of it. For no reason, it has the taste of a literary romance movie.

Lu Qinghe pointed to his feet, Shen Changyan lowered his head to confirm, and then said something.

"Thank you."

Lu Qinghe didn't answer, but he snorted.

Shen Changyan asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Qinghe said, "It's nothing, I'm just surprised that you still say thank you."

Shen Changyan hesitated, "Didn't I say thank you to you before?"

"Did you say that?"

"Probably, I forgot too."

"Then you don't need to remember." Lu Qinghe took two quick steps forward, and put his mouth down where Shen Changyan couldn't see, "Let me tell you directly, you never said thank you to me, today is the first once."

Shen Changyan was holding the notebook, and he suddenly stood where he was.

Lu Qinghe continued to walk down, "You used to have a bad attitude towards me, have you forgotten? Thank you, hello, have you eaten? The weather is good today, and the vegetable soup in the cafeteria yesterday was very good Drink, the dress you wore the day before yesterday was very handsome... You never told me anything like this. "

"I--"

"You will only tell me, you are scared, you are stupid, you forgot to take your medicine again, did you not read the almanac when you went out today, Lu Qinghe, you are so nosy, why don't you just go to the community street to do it Well, keeping you in the criminal investigation team is really a waste of talent."

"Feel sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Pretending to be relaxed, Lu Qinghe smiled, "Anyway, you guy, you have always been like this. You are very annoying, and I have long been used to it."

People have already descended more than ten steps of stairs, but Shen Changyan still stays at the top of the stairs.

He looked at Lu Qinghe's back, at the back of Fang Yuanliu's chestnut-like head, and his smooth and clean black hair was blown up again by the wind.

He opened his mouth so suddenly that even Shen Changyan himself was not prepared.

"So if I say I like you, will it make you feel disgusted?"

Shen Changyan said, "Because I'm so annoying, do you also hate me along with my liking?"

The author says:

Lu Qinghe: Guess I don't like you.
