Mystery Tracker 3

Chapter 31 Live

"We used to live in Beijing. In September last year, someone started sending messages to Xinying on the Internet. At first, we chatted nonchalantly, but then the chat became more and more obscene, asking Xinying what to wear What kind of underwear, watching pornography, etc... Xinying felt that there was something wrong with this person, so she blocked him. As a result, the person started to get worse, constantly changing phone numbers to call and send messages, and the words became more and more disgusting. Xinying was so annoyed by him, so I took her to the police station and called the police."

"Has this man been found?"

"I found it." Pang Zihao nodded, "The man's name is An Xidong. Xinying met him when he was helping him with business. The police criticized and educated him, and An Xidong also said at the time that he would never do such a thing again. Yes. But I didn’t expect that within a few days, Xinying received this kind of call again on her cell phone! And this time, even the cell phone number was not displayed, only 'unknown number' was displayed, and no one spoke when it was answered. It was full of creepy ghost noises... Then I started sending messages, saying what clothes Xinying was wearing today, what car she took when she went out, what kind of takeaway she ordered at night... During that time, Xinying listened to it. When the phone rings, she trembles all over her body. Her insomnia problem started from then."

Shen Yan frowned: "Didn't you call the police again?"

"Of course I did! I asked Xinying to record and save all those things, and then took them to the police. The police found An Xidong again, but An Xidong just refused to admit that he did it! The police told me that the other party I used software to block the number, and the telecom bureau couldn’t find out the phone number; I even said something because the other party didn’t speak... In short, I can’t prove that it must be An Xidong’s doing it!”

Shen Yan frowned more tightly: "And then?"

"At that time, the police officer who handled the case told us that the other party was only harassed by words and phone calls. Even if we have definite evidence to prove that he did it, at most we will be locked up for three to five days, and we can't do anything to him. Let's let We tried to solve it by ourselves. I was angry at the time. I said he harassed us and started following my girlfriend. You actually said let us solve it by ourselves?! How do we solve it?! The policeman was still angry, he said They are acting according to the law, this person has not broken the law, so they can't control him."

Hearing this, Shen Yan frowned even tighter: "Did he really say that?"

"I'm going to lie to you, I'll be struck by lightning!" Pang Zihao said swearing.

"Where is this policeman? What's his name?"

"XX police station, Liu Zhengyi! Hmph, how dare you call him justice! You have no sense of responsibility at all!!" Pang Zihao still feels aggrieved when he mentions it.

Shen Yan kept this name in his heart, and decided to find out afterwards.Then he asked: "And then? What did you do?"

"When he came out of the police station that time, An Xidong looked smug. I knew at the time that this guy would never end. Sure enough, Xinying also started receiving anonymous calls at work. And that person still didn't call Xinying. , called her colleagues specifically, and they used that voice-changing voice to say bad things about Xinying. At first Xinying didn’t know, but then the bastard called Xinying’s office where she was in charge! Xinying cried at home when she found out For a few days. I thought this was not going to work, so I told her, let’s just change places, stop being in Beijing, abolish the old mobile phone number, find another city, and get rid of this bastard completely. I happened to be working in S City at the time Xinying and I came to City S together. After coming here, Xinying has improved a lot and has no insomnia anymore. I thought this matter would just pass away, who knows..."

Speaking of this, Pang Zi felt sad, and his voice choked up again.

Shen Yan frowned and didn't speak for a while.If what Pang Zihao said was true, Rong Xinying probably committed suicide because she encountered someone who was following or coercing her again, and then broke down emotionally.However, what is the opportunity?How did the murderer target her again?

"Do you still have the harassing calls and text messages that Rong Xinying received?" Cheng Jinsong asked.

Pang Zihao shook his head: "It's been deleted long ago. At that time, the police said those things were useless, and Xinying became anxious when she saw them again. Why keep them?"

Cheng Jinsong frowned, and he asked again: "Then when you went to the police station to report the case, did they keep the evidence?"

Pang Zihao shook his head: "I don't remember. They must have seen it, but they didn't seem to ask us to copy it..."

Afterwards, Shen Yan asked Rong Xinying's work unit, commuting time, family situation, etc., and Pang Zihao answered them all.Shen Yan nodded and said to him: "You just said that Rong Xinying's mother has passed away, then you should inform her father and ask him to come to S City as soon as possible. We may need to conduct an autopsy on Rong Xinying's body, At that time, her father may be required to sign."

"Autopsy?" Pang Zihao was a little surprised when he heard this, "Xinying committed suicide by jumping off a building, and still needs an autopsy?"

"If necessary."

As Shen Yan was speaking, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, it turned out to be Qin Kai.Shen Yan walked out, and Qin Kai introduced in a low voice: "Boss, I just asked the families around the deceased, and they said that the young couple has not moved here for a long time, and they don't usually have contact with others. They don't know each other very well."

Shen Yan nodded.At this time, his cell phone rang, and it was Jiang Li.

"Boss, an old woman in the house on the top floor said that she heard some movement last night. You'd better come up and listen."

The old lady Jiang Li mentioned was surnamed Shi, and she was over 70 years old this year.She lives in Room 18-3, which is basically directly below the place where Rong Xinying jumped off the building.When the old lady heard that Shen Yan was the captain of the detachment, she showed a little nervousness on her face: "Hey, I just told this guy, I can't guarantee that the girl who jumped off the building must be the one I heard..."

"It's okay, Mrs. Shi, just tell the truth about what you hear, our police will go to multiple sources to verify it, and we won't blame you." Shen Yan explained.

Hearing Shen Yan's assurance, the old lady was relieved.She started to talk: "I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night last night, and then I vaguely heard a woman crying. The voice was not loud, and it was intermittent. I wondered who it was The daughter-in-law and her husband had finished arguing and were crying secretly in the middle of the night. I heard the man cry for a while and his voice became quieter. I was also sleepy at the time, so I fell asleep... This morning I heard that the downstairs Someone jumped off the building, so I thought, maybe the sound I heard yesterday was the cry of that woman..."

"When did you hear that sound?"

"Hey, I really took a look at the wall clock in my room, it was past 12:12 in the middle of the night. But this morning I got up and looked, hey, my clock was out of power and stopped! It stopped at 40 o'clock Around [-]. So I dare not say what time I heard the sound.”

The old lady said these two sentences like a roller coaster, and everyone was thrown to the bottom by the next sentence before they could cheer up.The clock didn't run out of power sooner or later, but it happened to be out of power at this time, it was like deliberately annoying people.

Shen Yan's face didn't change much, he continued to ask: "The voice you heard at that time, are you sure it's a woman's?"

"It should be about the same. The voice is quite thin, not like a man's voice."

"Are there any other sounds besides crying?"

"Probably... it's gone. But the voice is intermittent, and I can't really hear it. It feels like the woman is talking to someone."

"what?!"

When Mrs. Shi said this, everyone was shocked.Shen Yan hurriedly asked: "Did you hear that woman talking to someone else?"

"Ah, probably... almost, anyway, I heard the woman sobbing and seemed to say a few words, but I didn't hear anyone answering, maybe she was talking to herself and she couldn't tell... "

Shen Yan thought of the mobile phone he found next to the deceased's body, and asked, "Is it possible that she was calling someone?"

"Calling? It's possible, anyway, I don't seem to have heard other people's voices..." Seeing that Shen Yan and the others looked very serious, the old lady added again, "Well, Comrade Police, can I I have to make it clear to you that I'm really not sure that the sound I heard was coming from upstairs. As you can see, the quality of our building is not very good, and the sound insulation is not good. I have heard women crying before Ahhh, so I'm really not sure if it's the girl who jumped off the building..."

"Don't worry, ma'am, we understand." Shen Yan said again, "Thank you for cooperating with our police."

Hearing this, the old lady smiled brightly: "Hey, shouldn't it be right! As long as I can help you!"

Exiting from the door of the old lady's room, everyone continued to ask all the residents of the whole building, and another resident who lived on the 17th floor also gave the same statement as Mrs. Shi.But she couldn't hear more clearly.Except for the sound of a woman, I couldn't even confirm whether it was crying or talking.But the police also confirmed another thing, that is, there was no woman in any family who cried in the middle of the night yesterday.In this way, the voice heard by the two old people can basically be concluded to be Rong Xinying's voice.And whether the person who spoke to her is someone on the other end of the phone can only be confirmed after they return to the police station and turn on the deceased's mobile phone.

It has been more than two hours since the tossing upstairs is over.Only then did Shen Yancheng Jinsong lead people back to the second floor.

On the platform, Jiang Xin and Wang Zijie had packed the body into bags.Seeing Shen Yan come down, Jiang Xin introduced: "Preliminary inspection shows that the deceased's death time was between 1:2 and 15:[-] in the morning. The cause of death is basically no problem, but the posture of the deceased's landing is a little rare. She was half-lying on her side. Falling to the ground, I just observed the route of her fall. There was a rain shelter on the [-]th floor. The deceased had hit the rain shelter and caused the falling posture to change. Mo Han and Xiao Wang just went to that house. The canopy has been completely dismantled," he said, looking at Cheng Jinsong, "I will leave it to you for the later inspection."

"Okay." Cheng Jinsong nodded.

Seeing that all the groups had obtained evidence, Shen Yan organized the group to withdraw.Before leaving, he ordered Police Officer Xiao Hu to arrange manpower to watch the cordon for follow-up on-site re-inspection.In addition, he told police officer Xiao Hu the house number of the house where no one was at home just now, and asked him to bring someone over to continue asking at night.

"Don't worry about Team Shen, I'll contact you immediately if I find out." Officer Xiao Hu promised.

Shen Yan nodded.He glanced back at the tall residential buildings behind him again, and there was a slight doubt in his deep eyes.

The group drove back to the police station. Cheng Jinsong took all kinds of evidence collected on the spot to process first, while Shen Yan returned to the office. According to what Pang Zihao said, he first contacted the policeman from the police station who had received Pang and Rong. Liu Zhengyi.Officer Liu recalled for a moment, and quickly remembered what happened back then.

"There is such a thing. We found that person when they first came, and then we also criticized and educated him, and he admitted his mistake. As a result, after a month or two, the young couple went back to school again. They came and said that the person was still harassing them. We found the person surnamed An again, but this time the person firmly refused to admit that he did it. We have seen that the person who made the harassing call blocked all the numbers. There was no sound on the phone, and we really couldn’t say that someone else did it! So I persuaded that woman, if you can’t do it, change your phone number, if you can’t, go out for a trip and stay away for a while , He couldn’t find you, so there was nothing he could do. In the end, that man got angry with me! He said I was irresponsible! What do you think I can do? I have to act according to the law, right?”

Officer Liu's explanation was rambling, but it also sounded reasonable.So Shen Yan continued to ask: "Then, do you keep the text messages and phone recordings they provided when they reported the crime?"

"I've seen it, it's just flirtatious words..."

"I asked if you have any official archives?" Shen Yan interrupted him, "Are there any archives for those text messages and recordings?"

"Not really. There are too many such things. We can deal with one or two cases almost every day, not to mention people have found them..." Officer Liu seemed to feel the low pressure on the phone end as he spoke, so Ask, "What's wrong?"

"That woman jumped to her death this morning." Shen Yan said coldly, "If her death is related to what happened back then, those records may become the key to solving the case."

There was a knock on the office door, Shen Yan hung up the phone, and replied angrily: "Come in!"

"What's the matter? I can feel your anger through the door." Cheng Jinsong opened the door and came in.Shen Yanzheng was full of dissatisfaction, and when he saw Cheng Jinsong, he immediately complained: "I just called the police station where Rong Xinying reported the case, and they didn't keep any evidence at all. I can understand that there are a lot of grassroots work, but at least they should keep a record Right? If this person used more snacks back then, Rong Xinying might not have died!"

"Maybe he didn't expect things to turn out like this. After all, this kind of verbal harassment is not uncommon. Well, it's useless for you to be angry now. I found some clues, so..."

Cheng Jinsong had just finished speaking when there was another knock on the door.Jiang Xin opened the door and came in. Seeing that Cheng Jinsong was there, he raised the autopsy report in his hand: "So I was the slowest?"

"I just arrived too," Cheng Jinsong said to her with a smile, "You are neither early nor late, just right."

"Oh, you can talk so well, you really deserve to be Brother Jin." Jiang Xin joked to Jinsong, then handed the test results in his hand to Shen Yan, and said seriously, "Captain Shen, I think the cause of Rong Xinying's death is suspicious." , hoping to apply for an autopsy."
