C6 Witness

Tan Ziqiao took a drag on his cigarette, "Captain Wang leader, how did you deal with the media over there?"

Wang Dongyuan nodded his head, "Quite a few media organizations have already smelled it and reported about this matter. "However, considering that the murderer's methods are cruel and that there are many strange aspects to the case that might cause panic, I did not specifically warn my subordinates about it. I did not allow them to say anything to the media and they all said that they are investigating!"

Tan Ziqiao said thoughtfully, "But due to the media's influence, the panic has already spread throughout the city. This is unavoidable!"

Wang Dongyuan's face looked troubled, "Then what do we do?"

Tan Zizheng took a sip of water from his teacup and said, "The only way now is for us to solve this case with thunderous means. There's nothing more comforting than catching the real culprit!"

Wang Dongyuan nodded seriously: "I understand!"

"Alright, let's discuss the case now."

As he spoke, Tan Ziquan spread out a map of Phoenix City: "I made someone specially mark the area where Chen Xueyan met with mishap. This is the area where Wang Haichuan met with mishap, what is the relationship between the two?"

Wang Dongyuan frowned as he looked at the map: "Where is the connection? One is in the business circles in the north, the other is in the residential area in the east.

Tan Ziqiao continued, "As long as the killer keeps on killing people, there must be a connection! "Since there's no connection between the two of us, we can start from somewhere else. For example, are these two dating each other in private?"

Cheng Zhen closed the folder. "The two of them shouldn't have any interactions, right? This Chen Xueyan graduated from a foreign university, and her social circle is very small. When she investigated and interacted with her friends, there was no one in her circle with the name Wang Haichuan! "

But Wang Haichuan is a graduate from a local university, a professional athlete who only comes to the university to teach after eating a meal. The two of them are not from the same place, they didn't study in the same university, and their personalities are different.

Wang Dongyuan nodded his head, "I too do not think that the two of them will interact much!"

Tan Ziqiao pressed the tip of his cigarette into the ashtray. "Then we only have one last possibility! The two of them have never interacted with each other, but they both possess something in common. This is precisely the reason why the murderer killed the two of them! "

Wang Dongyuan squinted: "Something that you have in common? "The two of them are not even on the same level, how can they have the same thing?"

Tan Ziqiao smiled. "Captain Wang Head, you're being dogmatic again, aren't you?"

Wang Dongyuan was startled: "Eh, this, this, we almost made a mistake again!"

Zheng Zheyue interrupted: "It doesn't have to be on the same level. Perhaps the two of them have something that the murderer hates the most, either a personality, or a way of dealing with the world, or some other potential!"

Cheng Zhen looked at the folder again. "The two of them have very different personalities. I can see a little bit about their ways of living. These two aren't even in the same class. I really can't think of any connection between them."

An Siyu rolled her eyes at Cheng Zhi: "You talk too much! What do you know? "Shut up!"

Cheng Yuan immediately collapsed. "Shut up, then shut up. Why are you shouting like that?"

Tan Ziqiao continued, "Then, the main point of our investigation will be to investigate the social relations between the two of them and to arrange a trip for them."

Wang Dongyuan expressed his agreement, "Hmm, now it's the only way to look for a needle in a haystack!"

Tan Ziqiao continued to speak, "Head of the Captain Wang, a lot of police force is needed to arrange a platoon and conduct interviews. Can you think of a way to solve this?"

Wang Dongyuan scratched his head: "I'll go and report it to the city police. I'll request for the whole city to investigate it, how about it?"

Tan Zizi knocked on the table. "Then it's decided! Let's each get busy! "

After the meeting ended, Wang Dongyuan went to find the city police to request for assistance, while Tan Zi Ji brought Zheng Zheyue and the others to the scene of the crime to have a look.

Just as Tan Ziqiao and the others walked out of the entrance of the Criminal Police Headquarters, they saw an old man trembling as he laid on the body of a police officer and cried his heart out.

He frowned and could not help but walk over. "What's going on?"

The police immediately replied: Officer Tan, this is Wang Haichuan's family, they are here today to claim his corpse!

Tan Ziqiao sighed. "Old man, take care of your health. I'm sorry!"

The old man cried, "My son! I only have this one son! "My son!"

Following that, the old man started to talk about Wang Haichuan's achievements, from primary school, to university, to graduate student. Tan Zizhi did not say anything, but stood on the spot and listened silently.

Sometimes, listening to someone silently would help to comfort others.

Not long after, a beautiful woman wearing a suit appeared at the entrance of the Criminal Police Headquarters. She directly went up to the old man to help him up. Isn't it just to claim a corpse? "

The old man wiped his tears: "Little Hai is gone, why don't I cry? This is the meat that has fallen from my body! "

However, the woman said expressionlessly, "This kind of scum deserves death!"

The old man immediately shouted, "How can you speak like that? He's your brother!"

The woman turned her head, "He's not my brother, I don't have that kind of brother!"

Tam frowned. "Excuse me, are you ?"

The woman turned around and looked at Yun Yi. "I'm her daughter." As she spoke, she pointed at the old man.

Tan Ziqiao was stunned. "You are Wang Haichuan's younger sister?"

The woman was immediately displeased. "I'm not his sister, I don't have that kind of brother!"

Tan Ziqiao told the police, "Bring the old man in to claim his corpse. After you're done, bring the old man to the reception room to properly comfort him. Don't let the old man lose his temper!"

The policeman nodded and led the old man into the hall.

Tan Ziqiao turned to the woman and asked, "Madam, what's your name?"

The woman politely answered, "My name is Wang Haiyan."

Tan Ziqiao raised his hand and looked at his watch. "Ms. Wang, it's almost time for dinner. You haven't eaten yet, right? "Let's have a casual meal together. I have something to ask you."

Wang Haiyan nodded. "Alright. I'm hungry too, but don't be too expensive. It's fine as long as it's up to you. I'm from the working class and I don't have much salary."

Tan Ziqiao smiled. "I'll treat you!"

They found a random restaurant, then ordered a private room and some dishes.

Wang Haiyan was not polite. She ate all kinds of food, and soon, more than half of the dishes on the table were finished. Only then did she put down her chopsticks in satisfaction. She picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth. "Ok, what is it? Speak!"

Tan Ziqiao took out a cigarette. "Can I?"

Wang Haiyan waved her hand. "Whatever!"

Tan Zizheng lit a cigarette and took a drag: "You seem to be indifferent to Wang Haichuan's death!"

Wang Haiyan was expressionless, "Him!" It doesn't matter. If I don't die now, I'll definitely bring disaster upon people in the future! "

Tan Zizheng flicked his ash: "Why do you say that?"

Wang Haiyan looked at her armor and said casually, "What about it? My dad died a long time ago, and we were both raised on my mom. "Rural people, they have always valued their sons and daughters, and have always been accustomed to Wang Haichuan. Even if it's to the detriment of the two of us, we must still spoil that scumbag."

"That scumbag was spoiled and had fallen in love since high school. He broke a boy's bones for a girl. For this, my mom pulled me to kneel in front of that boy's house for the whole day. Not only did that guy not admit his fault, he even kept on looking for other people's matters ?

"Later on, when that boy transferred, Wang Haichuan also became the school's problem student. When the school saw that he could play, they recommended him to a physical education school, but he actually passed the exam. "Later on, he started to study at the school. For him, my mom let me drop out of school and work for him."

"That's fine, but he became a stranger to all of us. Not only did he not show respect to his mother, he even beat her up. My mother often cried, and he even bullied me! After he worked, he even asked me for money! He was truly angered to death! This kind of scum dying was well-deserved! Tch! I didn't even blink! "

"That is to say, Wang Haichuan has always been bad to the elderly?"

Wang Haiyan nodded, "That's right! This bastard once asked my mother for money, but didn't get it in the end. He actually gave my mother a bottle of pesticide and told my mother to die! This kind of guy was spoiled by my mother! "Humph!"

Tan ZiZhang flicked the ash off his cigarette: "Then, think about it carefully. Have Wang Haichuan offended anyone recently?"

Wang Haiyan lowered her head and began to count on her fingers, "Him! Let me see! En, since he couldn't count the number of people, he would definitely be unhappy to see who dared to go against him. In any case, he had offended quite a few people. I only remember a few times, they always wanted to take revenge on us, writing a newspaper in front of our door, spitting out words! We are also on tenterhooks all day! "

"Fortunately, he is dead now, so we can live a bit more comfortably now!"

When Cheng Zhen heard this, he could not help but say, "I said, big sister, that's your brother after all. You can't speak like that!"

Wang Haiyan rolled her eyes, "What does it have to do with you? If such a person appeared in your family, would you say so? "Tch!"

Cheng Zhen choked, "You!"

Wang Haiyan turned her head and shouted, "What? You still want to hit me? Come on, fight! The police beat him up! The police beat them up! "

Tan Ziqiao reached out his hand to stop the prodigy and said casually to Wang Haiyan, "Lady Wang, I'm sorry, but this guy doesn't know the rules!"

Wang Haiyan looked at her fingernails and said, "I won't lower myself to his level!"

Tan Zizheng nodded, "Alright, I think it's about time. Lady Wang, go and fetch the old man! "The procedures should be ready."

Wang Haiyan got up and took her bag, "Okay, thank you for lunch," then left.

After Wang Haiyan left, Cheng Jiang pointed at the door and said, "Tell me, who do you think is this kind of person? He was so happy that his brother died!"

Tan Ziqiao put the cigarette down in the ashtray. "What do you know? If you do not understand the situation, then advise him to be magnanimous, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning ah! "

An Siyu immediately agreed. "That's right, don't be reckless for a day, what if you get into trouble?"

Cheng Cai looked at An Siyu, then looked at Tan Ziying: "It's not me who said it, the two of you are truly a couple! Fine, I'll admit defeat! "

Tan Ziqiao lit up another cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked ahead. All the experiences of the past few days kept flashing through his mind until the image froze on top of the 'rumors'.

"Head?" "Head?" Zheng Zheyue couldn't help but shout out twice when he saw Tan Zizhi acting in such a manner.

Only then did Tan Zizhi react. "Hm? "What's wrong?"

Zheng Zheyue pointed to the messy table and asked: "How many more dishes do we need?"

Tan Ziqiao waved his hand. "Whatever!"

After ordering a few more dishes and filling their stomachs, they then drove to the Southern Courtyard's residential area, preparing to survey the scene once again.

The crime scene had already been thoroughly surveyed by the Criminal Investigation Department. When they looked again, they didn't find anything new, so they had no choice but to go downstairs.

Looking at the building and the windows of the rooms where the deceased lived, Tan Ziqiao couldn't help but ask, "Tell me, what kind of animal could climb on the walls at will?"

Cheng Yuan blurted out, "Of course, a gecko!"

Tan Zizheng nodded, "What else?"

Cheng Shen scratched his head. "Snake?"

Zheng Zheyue shook his head, "That's not right! When you look at the walls of the courtyard, they are all glued to the tiles. They are very smooth and it is impossible for snakes to go up ?

Tan Zhitong turned to Zheng Zheyue and asked, "Then, what do you think it is?"

Zheng Zheyue frowned and thought for a while: "Squirrel! If the squirrel can find a suitable place to climb up, then it can definitely climb up! "

Tan Ziqiao pressed on, "Squirrel can, because it's light. The one in the surveillance camera is not small. Can it climb up the wall?"

Zheng Zheyue thoughtfully nodded his head, "That's true."

Tan Ziqiao wanted to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone. It was an unfamiliar number. After the call was connected, an anxious voice immediately came over: "Director Tan?"

Tan Zizheng nodded, "I am, who are you?"

The other side replied immediately, "I'm the police officer in charge of the investigation. Now that we understand some things, I think it's better for you to come personally and take a look."

Tan Ziqiao immediately asked, "Where are you?"

The policeman paused, "We are on the street outside the southern gate of the southern courtyard. Head east. Inside a shop called Tang Jiu's Convenience Store."

Tan Ziqiao replied, "Alright, I'll be there right away."

After a while, Tan Zijie led the group to the 24-hour convenience store.

The police officer leading the team saw that Tan Ziqiao was so fast and was shocked. "Chief Tan, it's that fast!"

Tan Ziqiao waved his hand. "I was doing a second survey of the scene at the Southern Courtyard. I came over by the way. What's the situation?"

The police officer in charge said, "We found a very valuable clue in this convenience store! Roughly on the night of the murder, when it was almost 11, the person on duty encountered a man who was dressed in an extremely strange manner, and came to ask Wang Haichuan how to get to his house. "

Tan Zizhi was shocked upon hearing this. "Where is he?"

The police officer pointed at the girl behind the counter. "That's her?"

Tan Ziqiao walked over, glancing at the little girl. "Student?"

The little girl said in surprise, "How did you know? "I'm from a nearby university, I work part-time!"

Tan Zizheng nodded, "You have to arrange time properly for a part-time job. A part-time job tonight and you want to go to bed during the day? What about class? "It's better to focus on studying than to let your lessons fall short."

The little girl stuck out her tongue. "It's the weekend, so I'm not afraid. I still have other work to do during the day!"

Tan Ziqiao smiled. "What a good self-strengthening girl. Do you feel embarrassed to take the money from your family members?"

The little girl nodded. "I'm already twenty. I really can't ask my family for money ?"

Tan Zizheng looked at the little girl with admiration once again, "Not bad, but pay attention to your body, don't be too tired! After all, you're still young! "

The little girl immediately relaxed, "I know! I will! "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Police!"

Tan Zizheng was amused. "Little girl, I'm not much older than you are. Uncle looks old!"

When these words came out, even the usually ice-cold Feng Zongren could not help but smile.

The little girl was also amused by Tan Ziqiao's words. All of a sudden, her tensed mood relaxed. She giggled and said, "Thanks for your concern, big brother police."

Tan Ziqiao waved his hand. "Little girl, what's your name?"

The little girl blurted out, "My name is Hui Ruoxin!"

Tan Ziqiao continued to ask, "You were on the night shift the day before yesterday?"

The little girl nodded. "Yes, that's right!"

Tan Ziqiao took down the Police Hat. "Tell me about the situation on that night!"

Saying that, he turned to look at Zheng Zheyue, only to see him taking out a notebook to take notes, causing him to curl his lips.

Hui Ruoxin tilted her head and rolled her eyes, beginning to reminisce about that night: "That night, around 11 PM, I was on duty ?"

That night, Phoenix City had just been washed clean by the new rain, the air was filled with the smell of mud, Hui Ruoxin supported her chin, and stared blankly at the scenery outside, watching the sparse number of cars flying outside.

It had just rained, and the temperature had suddenly dropped. The bustling night market in summer was no longer noisy. Everyone would rather stay at home and enjoy the warm weekend bed.

At this time, the convenience store was unusually quiet. No one came to buy anything at all. When Hui Ruoxin saw a girl in a short skirt walking by with her arms crossed, she couldn't help but to wrap her jacket around her.

She opened WeChat and checked her friend list. When she found that there were no people who wanted to speak, she closed the list. Not long later, she opened her Wechat Moments and gave everyone a Like.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in from the outside and directly entered Hui Ruoxin's neck. Goosebumps appeared on her back, and her body shivered from the cold.

She looked up and saw a man wearing a black bamboo hat and a black cloak walk in. Being a professional courteous person, Hui Ruoxin stood up, smiled, and bowed. "Hello, welcome!"

When the man walked closer, Hui Ruoxin finally saw his face. His gaunt face, sunken eyes, high cheekbones, and pointed ears.

This person's face was as skinny as a bag of bones. It was terrifyingly thin. This person's body was also bent, and his back was deeply arched.

The towering cape and collar covered the man's mouth, as his body moved, his head swayed as well. Hui Ruoxin could vaguely see that the man's lips were hung with two protruding tiger teeth!

That person slowly moved in front of Hui Ruoxin and said: "Little miss, do you know where Wang Haichuan's house is and how to get there?"

This sound, was like a long fingernail sweeping across a blackboard, hearing this, Hui Ruoxin's heart tightened, as though her entire body had been pinched by someone.

Hui Ruoxin frowned and asked: "Is it Wang Haichuan?"

The man nodded slightly. "Yes!"

Hui Ruoxin had an impression of Wang Haichuan, he often came to the convenience store to buy cigarettes, and if she stayed there for a long time, she would be able to chat with him. However, he did not like Wang Haichuan. She was too hot-tempered and had a strange temper. From what the manager said, Wang Haichuan was not good to the old man, so he did not have a cold to him.

Hui Ruoxin tilted her head and thought, she remembered the manager telling her Wang Haichuan's home address. After thinking for a while, Hui Ruoxin's eyes lit up. "Oh, yes, he's at B Household on the twelfth floor of Building D in the Southern Courtyard. "May I ask who are you to find him for?"

However, there was no one else in front of Hui Ruoxin. Unknowingly, that strange person had already disappeared!

"The entire process, is like this!" Hui Ruoxin said.

Tan Ziqiao habitually took out a cigarette and was about to light it up, but he suddenly realized something and put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed, "Is there a monitor?"

Hui Ruoxin answered: "Yes!"

Looking at the stooped figure on the monitor screen, Tan Ziqiao couldn't help saying, "I've finally found you! Cheng Cai and An Siyu will stay behind to draw a picture, I want to see what this person looks like! "
