Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

When Cheng Che and Wu Ning went to Wu Village, Dong Peng, who stayed in the bureau, received a call from a police officer who was left to monitor Yu Fang. "What? You said Yu Fang went out?" Dong Peng, who was sitting on the chair, leaned back and frowned. "That's right, I'm waiting for a taxi with a suitcase, Sheriff, should I continue to follow?" Dong Peng thought for a while, "Is there a boy with her?" "I didn't see her, she was the only one." Dong Peng fell into deep thought. As a mother, Yu Fang would not leave her child and go far alone. Even if she really committed a crime and wanted to abscond, she would definitely bring her with her. a hearing-impaired child.Then, no matter where she went, Yu Fang would always come back, instead of following her closely and disturbing Yu Fang, it's better to just sit back and wait.

"No need, you are divided into several groups, and you can wait outside Yu Fang's house in shifts." As soon as Dong Peng hung up the phone after explaining his explanation, the door was pushed open unceremoniously. Shang Yunxuan walked in with two cups of coffee smiling, and put one of the steaming coffees on Dong Peng's door. on the table in front of you. "Over the years, Shang Forensic Doctor, your manners really haven't improved at all." Dong Peng looked up at Shang Yunxuan. However, Shang Yunxuan didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words at all, still smiling calmly and fascinated all sentient beings, "I just made the coffee, Officer Dong, please try it."

Thinking of the coffee he provided in the dissecting room last time, Dong Peng thanked him for his insensitiveness.Without even looking at it, he casually pushed away the coffee cup, "No need, I have something else to do." While monk Yunxuan was talking, Dong Peng thought again.Liu Huihui's case has reached an impasse, and there is no new evidence to delineate the suspects. However, there are still doubts in Deng Feng's case. If there is a breakthrough, I believe it will eventually move forward.Now there are three biggest mysteries surrounding Deng Feng's death: Where did Deng Feng go before staying in the hotel?Who have you met?Where did the money Fang Ziqing gave him go?

The only thing that can be obtained by investigation is probably the first one. However, Shang Yunxuan was unwilling to be left out, and the disturbing voice sounded again, "Don't lose face, Police Officer Dong, this is my whole heart..." "I'm going out now, I'm afraid I don't have time to drink your coffee." Dong Peng found the most reasonable reason for his refusal, then quickly stood up, picked up the coat that was on the chair, and walked quickly to go outside. "Hey, Officer Dong, where are you going?" "Take Deng Feng's route before he checked into the hotel again, maybe we can find something."

"I happen to have nothing to do, can I go with you? Maybe I can be a helper, anyway, Xiao Cheche is not here." "up to you." Dong Peng didn't bother to waste any more words with him, and walked out first.Shang Yunxuan took off his white robe and threw it gracefully. The white robe drew a beautiful arc and landed firmly on Dong Peng's desk. Shang Yunxuan raised his seductive peach blossom eyes, and followed Dong Peng out of the room, not forgetting to close the door politely with his hand back. "The train from City S arrived at 1:30 p.m., and Deng Feng checked into the hotel at 5:30 p.m. During these four hours, he should have gone to certain places, met someone, and got the hotel's Celebration Seal. Only when you have a good business card will you stay in that hotel."

Standing in front of the bustling train station, Dong Peng watched the crowds flocking in all directions with sharp and calm eyes. "But the road in front of the station has two directions, east and west. Which way should we go?" Shang Yunxuan stood leisurely behind Dong Peng, "But we should be lucky that there is no fork in the road nearby, and other possibilities are small. A lot." "Turn two corners from the east to the hotel. We have checked this road, and no one has ever seen Deng Feng. Of course, there may be omissions, but if he stayed in the same place for nearly four hours, No one noticed. According to the analysis results, it is more likely that Deng Feng went to the west. He may have gone in the opposite direction and turned back after finishing his work, because someone recommended that hotel to him. .”

Shang Yunxuan spread his hands, "Then what are you waiting for?" Dong Peng walked slowly along the road to the west of the railway station, while looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, he quickly recalled the existing clues of Deng Feng's case in his mind.The tape used to close the door at the scene, the book "Doll's Killing Intent", and finally, stayed on Deng Feng's belongings. Before they knew it, the two of them had already walked out of a street, only one street away from the chaotic rows of small restaurants and hotels that were open and open near the train station, the noise subsided, and they entered a quiet and bright street.There are several tall jewelry shops on both sides of the street, as if entering another world.

Dong Peng's eyes swept across the dazzling displays in the window, and finally stopped on a ring.Chen Ying's words emerged: Although I haven't said it to him yet, I am indeed considering breaking up with Deng Feng recently. If he guessed right, this should be Chen Ying's unilateral decision, but Deng Feng didn't notice it at all. If Deng Feng also felt that his relationship had become cold, he wouldn't have carefully placed Chen Ying's photo in his wallet . So, walking on this street, and having dated Chen Ying for five or six years, what would Deng Feng think?

"Come on, let's go to those stores and ask." The two asked several jewelry stores one by one, and finally, as Dong Peng expected, they found Deng Feng's whereabouts from the clerk in a relatively large jewelry store. "I remember this man because he booked something with us." The female clerk looked at Deng Feng's photo and replied with certainty. "What is it?" "Because the wedding diamond ring is a custom-made one, it will take half a month to get it. He said he doesn't live in the city, so he left an address for us to deliver."

Dong Peng nodded, "Can we see the address he left?" The female clerk turned around, opened the cabinet behind her, took out a large book from it, spread it out on the counter, and explained while flipping through it, "We will write the addresses and contact information of all reservation customers here, yes, it is This, Deng Feng." "How long did he stay in the store?" Dong Peng asked. The female clerk thought for a while, "He was really cautious when choosing a ring. He said that he was afraid that his girlfriend would not like it. He also showed me a picture of his girlfriend, saying that he wanted to ask her about her temperament and feeling, which one was more suitable. About It took half an hour, and we were still talking about the follow-up, when a phone call came in, he seemed to be very anxious, left an address and left in a hurry."

"Is the picture of his girlfriend in the wallet?" "That's right." Dong Peng understood that it wasn't that Deng Feng didn't notice Chen Ying's uneasiness at all. Perhaps it was because he sensed Chen Ying's thoughts that he wanted to make a promise to his girlfriend, "Did you hear him talking on the phone?" "Well, but he only said a few words. I remember it was like 'I'll come right away' or something. It must be an appointment." "What about the tone?" "Nothing special." The clerk recalled again, and added, "I remembered that when he spoke, there was some kind of request." "you sure?" The clerk smiled, "We are in this business, so we dare not say anything else. You can never go wrong by looking at the faces of customers." "Okay, thank you for your cooperation." After leaving the jewelry store, Dong Peng and Shang Yunxuan walked on the road again. "This Deng Feng is really pitiful. He obviously started planning for the future, and then he came to the end of his life. However, it is very strange. Usually, when he is doing such a big event, someone calls and urges him. It should be a little perfunctory or impatient. , How could he have such a humble attitude?" Shang Yunxuan put his hands in his pockets smartly, and narrated his doubts in an understatement. His words reminded Dong Peng of the public phone number recorded on Deng Feng's mobile phone, "The key to the matter should be the person who called, but the worst thing is that the other party came prepared, and we have no way to confirm the identity of the other party." "You can check these things slowly." Shang Yunxuan said, looking at his watch, "The important thing is, Xiao Ning and Xiao Cheche should be in Wucun now, right?" After he mentioned it, Dong Peng also thought of it. He felt that it was necessary to inquire about the situation there, and told Cheng Che about Yu Fang's departure.Thinking of this, Dong Peng dialed Cheng Che's cell phone. "What? There was also a murder related to dolls on the train?" From the other end of the phone, Dong Peng heard an unexpected news. It was Cheng Che's voice that came over the phone, "Well, we have cooperated with the local police and transported the body to the hospital in the town for preliminary examination. The cause of death was suffocation with a rope after coma induced by sleeping pills." "In other words, he was undoubtedly killed." Dong Pengfei quickly came to a conclusion, and then he thought of Yu Fang, his expression froze, and he asked again, "When did you die?" "The time when we found the body was around 15:30 when the train entered the station. It was estimated that the time of death was half an hour before that, which is 15 o'clock. I asked the flight attendant, and the train was just before the end of the train. One stop, but because that station is very close to the terminal, some people have already started to make preparations before getting off the train. The compartment is quite chaotic. People who use the restroom have reported that someone fell asleep at the door, and the flight attendants didn't care too much. Didn't even bother to check it out." "That is to say, the murderer was on the train at that time." Dong Peng paused, "Yu Fang also left the city, but did not take the child with her. I guess she just went out temporarily and will come back soon." "Speaking of which, Xiao Ning seems to have seen Yu Fang at the station near the train station. Is it possible that Yu Fang killed the victim on the train? Shall I take Yu Fang's photo back to the station and ask?" "If I remember correctly, your train leaves in the morning, right?" "Yes, drive at ten thirty." "Then there's no need. You won't gain anything if you ask. According to the report I received, Yu Fang left at noon. She will never catch up with your train." "Could it be that what happened to Yu Fang was just a coincidence and she had nothing to do with the case?" Cheng Che's voice also sounded very puzzled. "We can't come to a conclusion yet. For the time being, entrust the murder case on the train to the town's public security department. I will send people to support it. As for you, go to Wu Village to investigate according to the original plan, and don't get stuck on a road." "clear." After explaining, Dong Peng hung up the phone.The corners of Shang Yunxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, raised his eyes slightly, and there was a brisk smile in his peach blossom eyes, "They encountered a murder case again? Tsk tsk, this luck is really extraordinary." Dong Peng gave him a lukewarm look, "Why do I hear some gloating?" "Don't say that, I'm just relieved that I don't have to do the evidence collection this time." "Let's talk nonsense, the case is always endless." After Dong Peng finished speaking, he walked along the road when he came, "You have finished watching the excitement, it's time to go back to work, and I will also arrange to check the train Matters related to the murder." Wu Village is just a small village, because it is located on an island surrounded by clouds and mist, it is named Wu Village.As early as decades ago, a great painter who passed by the island painted a masterpiece with the scenery of the island as the theme. Wu Village became famous and became a popular tourist attraction in recent years. Many young people who like novelty , or travelers who love pure and ancient ideas will come here.And the painting called "Island in the Sky" was later left on the island by that painter. In the evening, red clouds pierced through the clouds, and the sea was calm, shrouded in mist.A small boat came slowly through the thick fog, approached the island, and stopped on the shore. "Here we are." The boatman's gentle voice pierced through the fog. A nimble figure held the side of the boat, propped it up with his arms, leaped, jumped off the boat, and landed smoothly. His short hair may be due to the mist, and it was slightly moist and pressed against his cheeks. He was very handsome. A rare softness came out, this person was Wu Ning who was carrying a backpack. Cheng Che, whose face was a little pale, walked off the boat right after him. "I didn't expect you to be seasick?" Wu Ning turned his head, with a faint smile on his slightly raised lips. Feeling the banter in her words, Cheng Che tried his best to cheer up, "So many things have happened, I'm just a little tired." Wu Ning shrugged, showing a look of "if you want to be stubborn, please feel free", turned to the boatman and asked, "Do you know any places where you can live nearby?" "As far as I know, the hotel closest to the pier is Lao Zhang's, but..." the boatman stopped here, showing obvious hesitation in his hesitation. "What?" His attitude made Cheng Che curious. "Well, because of the location, Lao Zhang's shop was the best in Wucun, but there was an unforeseen event. Three years ago, a fire broke out, which burned most of the shop, and Lao Zhang himself was severely disfigured. , I can only live by wearing a weird mask every day, and the children will be scared to cry when they see it, and there will be customers? But Lao Zhang is alone, and he has no source of income after closing the store, so he still barely maintains it now." "It was three years ago again?" Cheng Che sensitively captured the coincidence, and asked tentatively, "Have you heard of any other things that happened here three years ago?" The boatman's face changed, and he shrank his neck in horror, "I don't know which one you are asking about." "There are many things?" "Actually, there are only two rumors: one is that there was a rumor that a novelist was stabbed to death by a mentally disturbed reader? Some people said that in the woods in the village, they saw someone who looked like The man who looks like a fugitive." Cheng Che looked at Wu Ning subconsciously, but Wu Ning seemed to have nothing to do with him, and asked calmly, "If you say number one, then there is number two?" "Another thing..." The boatman took a deep breath, and this time he even lowered his voice a little bit, and he could hear the lingering fear inside, "After a group of guests living in Lao Zhang's shop went out, one of them accidentally fell into the sky. Ya died, and the day Lao Zhang's shop burned, it was the first seven of the dead customers, and everyone was rumored that the reason for the fire was that the ghosts of the dead customers lingered and the grievances condensed." "Oh? Who are those guests?" "I don't know about it. You can ask Lao Zhang for more details." The boatman showed an attitude of not wanting to talk more, "Who would want to inquire about such a horrible and evil thing so clearly? I'm leaving, you guys If you want to find Laozhang Hotel, you can go straight along this road and walk ten minutes to see it."
