"Call the police?" Chen Yusha looked at Shi Ran with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Officer, can you find the murderer?"
Shi Ran thought about it and found that according to the environment of this era, except for high-end hotels and office buildings, most places did not have surveillance equipment installed, and the victim did not know who the perpetrator was. Indeed, they could not identify the suspect.
Just like this time, they can only investigate based on the deceased's social relationships, and there is no other way.
Or maybe, this was just an accidental robbery and murder case, and it's unknown whether an unknown real murderer is on the loose.
Maybe, they just thought of this case too complicated.
Shi Ran put aside these thoughts and first investigated the whereabouts of the number one suspect on the day of the death of the deceased and the day of the disappearance of the child.
She turned the pen in her hand and continued to ask: "Excuse me, where were you last Saturday?"
"I wasn't feeling well that day. I asked for leave. I stayed at home all day and never went out. My mother can testify, and Uncle Zhang, the shoe shiner downstairs, can also testify. I didn't go out that day." Chen Yusha replied .
She wiped the tears on her face bit by bit, and then pulled away the wrinkled pages of the book. The unstable mood just now seemed to be just a flash in the pan.
Shi Ran looked at her expression and asked: "Abandoned factory murder case, you know, last Saturday, the day after the deceased's death, the deceased's biological child, by the way, also happened to be four years old, disappeared. , do you know where this child is now?"
Chen Yusha turned over a page of the book and replied without raising her head: "This is someone else's business, how could I know?"
She answered so accurately that Shi Ran thought that all this was just a coincidence.
Is it really a coincidence?
Shi Ran had no evidence to prove that this was a coincidence, and there was no evidence to prove that this was not a coincidence. The only thing she knew clearly was that they could not arrest anyone today.
Until they find the child and confirm the mother-child relationship with Chen Yusha, they cannot identify Chen Yusha as the suspect in the abandoned factory murder case.
After confirming some details with Chen Yusha, Shi Ran collected Chen Yusha's biological samples and stood up to say goodbye.
She returned to the living room, looked at Ling Qian and shook her head.
Shi Ran walked towards Chen's mother and said, "I know everything about what happened back then. We are very sorry about this incident. You should also look away and move forward."
"Okay, okay!..." Mother Chen took Shi Ran's hand and patted it, tears filling her eyes.
Shi Ran asked again: "Do you still remember which orphanage you sent that child to? As long as you find that child in the orphanage and confirm his relationship with your daughter, your daughter can be cleared of suspicion."
Chen's mother told them the name of the orphanage, and then Shi Ran and Ling Qian left the Chen family.
Before Shi Ran, Ling Qian, and the plainclothes policemen in the corridor went downstairs, a boy wearing a white shirt and jeans passed them by with flowers in his hands.
The attention of several people could not help but be attracted to the boy.
What's even more eye-catching is that the boy knocked on Chen Yusha's door and said loudly: "Auntie, is Shasha at home?"
After a while, Chen Yusha came to open the door in person. She happily took the flowers handed to her by the boy and said with a happy face: "Thank you!"
The girl smiled very gently, and she didn't look like she had just killed someone not long ago.
However, the girl's smiling face always made Shi Ran feel familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
The door here was not closed yet. People from another house on the fifth floor, 502, also opened the door, and a woman in her forties came out. She angrily scolded the boy standing at the next door, "How old are you?" Zhongliu, when you come back now, instead of going to your own house, you’re going to your mother-in-law’s house!”
"Aunt, look what you said, come and sit down. My dad said he would buy delicious food and cook a big meal tonight!" Chen Yusha greeted her to her home.
From their conversation, it seemed that the boy was the child of the family next door. The children of the two families were in love and had reached the stage of marriage.
Following the slow rustling footsteps, Mother Chen also walked out. She called the woman to her home and said, "Mom Shao Jie, come sit here. From now on, we are all a family. Why are you still angry with your child? "
Shao Jie's mother closed the door of her house and walked to Chen's house next door, and looked at Shi Ran and other plainclothes strangers downstairs.
Chen Yusha didn't even look at Shi Ran and others.
The boy named Xu Shaojie looked at Shi Ran and others with doubtful eyes.
He just saw these people coming out of Chen Yusha's house, and he didn't know who they were.
On the stairs, Shi Ran and others walked down.
Bai Feng asked: "What's going on? Aren't we going to arrest someone?"
"well!"
Shi Ran and Ling Qian sighed at the same time.
Shi Ran said: "How can we arrest someone without evidence?"
Ling Qian also said: "They don't know whether they are telling the truth or whether they have already arranged the confession. Every question we asked was answered in a flawless manner and their relationship was kept clean."
Lu Kai asked: "Where is the alibi?"
At this time, they had already reached the shoe shiner. Shi Ran knelt down and said, "Uncle Zhang?"
"Well, do you want to shine your shoes? Fifty cents a time." Uncle Zhang asked, holding a shoe-shine towel and a pig-hair brush in his hand.
Shi Ran looked at her shoes, sat down in front of Uncle Zhang, and paid fifty cents, but she did not stretch out her feet.
Shi Ran said: "If you don't want to shine your shoes, let me ask you a question. Do you know Chen Yusha from the fifth floor?"
"Yes, I know you. She often comes here to shine shoes." Uncle Zhang said, his tone was very calm, without any ups and downs.
Shi Ran continued to ask: "Do you remember last Friday? What time did Chen Yusha come back that afternoon?"
"She greeted me at half past five." Uncle Zhang almost blurted out.
"Did she go out last Saturday?" Shi Ran asked again.
"No." Uncle Zhang replied without thinking.
Shi Ran smiled and said, "Do you remember it so clearly?"
Uncle Zhang did not speak any more, but lowered his head and fiddled with his pig hair brush.
Shi Ran and others went downstairs.
Shi Ran said: "You see, this is her alibi."
Bai Feng thought of Uncle Zhang's blurted answer just now and said bluntly: "Isn't this obvious perjury? Is there really nothing we can do against her?"
Shi Ran compiled the address of the orphanage mentioned by Chen's mother into a text message and sent it to Bai Feng, saying: "They admitted that Chen Yusha did give birth to a child back then, but they insisted that the child was thrown into the orphanage, and they insisted that she was The rapist was knocked unconscious and you don’t know who the child’s father is. You go to this orphanage to look for the child who was sent there at that time and conduct a DNA comparison with Chen Yusha.”
