Chapter 15 The Growing Murderer
"What Lilith? What kind of Lilith is a Chinese? Yaxi, now that you are in high school, you should study hard and stop chasing stars! If your mother finds out, she won't break your legs."
Wang Yaxi was obviously used to Wang Xianggui's words. She stuck out her tongue and opened the door of the south-facing room.
Shen Ke looked around and saw that the wall was covered with posters and she didn't recognize any of the young people with colorful hair.
"This is it, look!"
Wang Yaxi moved very quickly, and soon she came out with a photo.
Maybe it was related to a big case. The little girl's eyes were bright and she just wanted to take out her phone to take a video and share it.
But after seeing the serious look on Shen Ke's face and looking at Li Yuan's very oppressive look, he finally restrained himself.
Shen Ke took the photo and looked at it. It was a photo taken in front of the sunflower sea at Xiangyang Hotel.
There are five people in the photo. The one standing in the middle of the first row is Hao Yiping, who died of illness. She was wearing an ordinary green short-sleeved shirt, which was a little white because of too much washing.
The small person on her right is Zhu Zhumei. She has not yet combed her ponytails and is wearing a JK skirt. She does not look gloomy either.
Standing behind Zhu Zhumei was Lilith, the tallest among the five people. She was already a somewhat famous Internet celebrity, and she looked a bit out of place with her "fashionable" look.
Standing next to Lilith in the second row was Wang Wei. He squinted his eyes and lowered his head, putting his hands in his pockets, looking a little at a loss.
Shen Ke's eyes focused on another person. She was wearing simple jeans and a white T-shirt with a ponytail and a camera bag on her chest. She looked heroic.
They have never seen this person before.
Shen Ke thought and put the photo away.
"This photo is very important. I need to take it back to the police station. I have another question. Did you find Hao Yiping's mobile phone among her belongings?"
Wang Xianggui shook his head decisively, "No, it must have been taken away by someone from her work unit. Later, I also saw the obituary posted in WeChat Moments."
Shen Ke nodded calmly, stood up, and walked towards the door.
As soon as the shabby iron door closed, Shen Ke immediately took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to the group.
"Xiaomeng, check this girl for me. Her name is Cao Lingling. She graduated from the Department of Journalism of Nanjiang University. And..." Shen Ke's words were in general. The phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw the night watch dog. Three words stand out.
"Shen Ke, this is Qi Huan. I asked the decoration workers, and there were indeed witnesses. They saw a takeaway person entering 1304. At that time, he was still wondering why someone would order takeout in an empty room."
"The man was wearing a turban, and his face was not visible. He was about 170cm tall, a man, very thin. When he went in, he was carrying a takeout box. As for when he came out, the witness did not see it."
"I compared the surveillance of Chaoyang Apartment and nearby streets, found a video, and posted it to the group. It is worth noting that his hair is white."
"This person should be the anonymous person you mentioned who entered Room 1304 after Cao Ren."
Qi Huan spoke very fast and cracklingly.
Shen Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this. A delivery boy? An errand boy? Such a character appeared at the scene of the murder twice.
When Lilith fell to her death in Donggui Mountain, the shoes she was wearing were sent by her assistant to an errand boy.
"Takeaway workers have fixed-color clothes, and takeout orders are electronically recorded. Have you checked?" Shen Ke asked immediately.
Qi Huan has also been a policeman for many years, so he naturally knows exactly what to do.
"I checked, and there is no such person. He must be pretending. But I am very concerned about the white hair. It is very white. Could it be..."
"Albinism!" Shen Ke and Qi Huan said in unison.
She held her cell phone and ran downstairs quickly while talking.
"Among the 21 people Hao Yiping sponsored, there was a child named Zhang Yi who had albinism. He lived in Changtang Village, Wudao County, Nanjiang City. His parents were both deceased. Hao Yiping sponsored him to finish his first year of high school. He took the initiative because he was too poor in studies. I dropped out of school and lost contact.”
"He played a game in Chaoyang Apartment and killed two people in a row. He must have been lingering there for a long time to get familiar with the environment. And the errand courier who delivered some to Lilith could also be him."
With his eyebrows raised, Qi Huan's voice became excited, "Copy that."
Shen Ke hung up the phone and was about to ask Zhao Xiaomeng to check Zhang Yi in the system when he saw that she had already sent Cao Lingling's message to the group.
"Cao Lingling is now a news reporter for Nanjiang City TV Station. At one o'clock this afternoon, the Third Nanjiang Bridge opened to traffic. She is a location reporter. Now it is warming up!"
"If you search for her on the Internet, you will find that she is a kind-hearted person. She once made news for helping an old lady who fell down on the road."
Shen Ke paused as he listened.
Li Yuan, who was following downstairs, was caught off guard and did not stop, almost bumping into Shen Ke.
He stood still with some difficulty and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Shen Ke ignored him, quickly took out Zhang Yi's file, took a photo and sent it to the group, "Xiaomeng, check him immediately. Qi Huan, you go to Nanjiang Third Bridge now. I suspect that at three o'clock this afternoon , Zhang Yi wants to kill Cao Lingling in full view of the public when the live broadcast is launched."
"I don't have time to explain now. This murderer is growing up, and we must not let him succeed this time."
Shen Ke said, clipping the file bag, the phone screen automatically locked, and the time displayed was 12:30.
"There are only 30 minutes left. How can we go from here to Nanjiang Third Bridge in 30 minutes? Why not let me ride a bicycle, I am very fast."
Li Yuan said and quickly followed Shen Ke.
The Third Nanjiang Bridge is extremely far from here, and it usually takes an hour to take a taxi without traffic jams.
Although he has been to the border for many years, he is from Nanjiang himself, and he still knows this when he comes back during the holidays. He is a special forces soldier, and although his motorcycle riding skills are not as good as those of cars, he is still very good.
Li Yuan was thinking and saw Shen Ke had already got on the motorcycle.
He looked at the shiny black guy and the back seat that was shining brightly in the sun, pursed his lips and sat on it helplessly.
Before he could sit firmly, Shen Ke didn't even say "sit down" this time, and felt like he was flying out.
Shen Ke led him through the traffic, almost speeding out at every turn of the light.
Li Yuan was glad that Shen Ke was a good policeman who abided by the law and was given a spare helmet. Otherwise... the wind that poured into his mouth due to the high-speed movement would definitely make his previous sentence of "I am very fast" a lot worse. This word was blown into his stomach.
This isn't about speed, it's like the protagonist in a popcorn movie risking his life.
Officer Shen, we were speeding! A traffic police officer will catch up soon!
Just as Li Yuan was thinking about it, he saw Shen Ke pull out a siren from somewhere and screamed 5555.
Li Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Shen Ke through the helmet. Her helmet was dark in color, but it was covered with fangs, making it look like a ferocious monster.
He came to Nanjiang to work as a policeman, originally with the intention of retiring, but he was made excited by this group of people.
He Li Yuan likes to be with monsters.
