The young man in the leather jacket immediately smiled when he saw the male detective next to Ai Liang: "Thank you, Captain Shi. Is this the first witness? I didn't expect you to be interrogated in person."
"Who let him in!"
The male detective whom the young man called Captain Shi suddenly lowered his face and yelled. The police officer who had just been talking to the young man immediately picked up the documents and prepared to leave.
"Wang Xun! Come here!" Captain Shi could not let him go so easily and called him back immediately.
"Captain." The detective named Wang Xun shrank back and returned to the group of people. He gave the young man a sharp look as he passed by.
Captain Shi crossed his arms, like a glaring King Kong: "Tell me, why did you bring irrelevant personnel into the criminal police team!"
"Calm down, I'm here to provide clues about this case, so I asked Officer Wang to bring me here."
The young man smiled and put his arm on Captain Shi's shoulder.
The shoulder-to-shoulder movement completely angered Captain Shi. He slapped Xia Qinian's hand away and shouted angrily: "Xia Qinian, shut up! Do you have a clue? What a fool! You are not a member of the criminal police team, you have no say in this." share!"
Shi Feng's voice was deafening like an angry lion, and the entire criminal police team could hear his roar.
The criminal policemen who were just passing by to watch the excitement suddenly ran past with their heads lowered for fear of getting into trouble. People in the office did not even dare to raise their heads.
After hearing the name Xia Qinian, Ai Liang turned his head and focused his gaze on him, staring at him closely.
"Captain Shi, why are you shouting so loudly? There are students here. Don't scare the children."
Xia Qinian didn't show any fear because of Captain Shi's anger. He still looked like he was not stingy. He pointed at Ai Liang when he noticed Ai Liang's gaze.
"You! Now! Immediately! Immediately! Get out! Whoever lets Xia Qinian in from now on should pack up and get out!"
Captain Shi pointed at the police officers present with his notebook, then slapped the notebook on the table and left angrily.
"Brother Nian, you've done me a terrible job now. I don't know what the captain will do to me in the future."
Officer Wang had a frown on his face, his brows filled with despair for his future job.
"An Xin Xin Xin, the anger is mainly directed at me. He is usually very generous if he doesn't have anything to do with me." Xia Qinian put his arm around Officer Wang's shoulders, his attitude was like a gangster.
"Okay, okay, you go out quickly, otherwise the captain will come back later and see you still here and you will have to skin me."
Officer Wang broke free of his arm and pushed Xia Qinian toward the exit.
The female detective also brought Ai Liang to the door and asked if he needed to be sent home.
She also had good intentions. A fifteen-year-old child was taken to the criminal police team's home and ignored, and now it is really pitiful for the child to go home alone.
"No, I will call a taxi nearby, and the police car taking me back will not have a good impact."
Ai Liang politely declined the pick-up and drop-off service from the female police officer and left the criminal police team alone.
However, he was stopped by the young man who had just taken two steps: "Hello, classmate, my name is Xia Qinian and I am a bounty hunter. Look, it's already noon. How about I treat you to a treat and let's chat?"
Xia Qinian had a bright smile on his face and put a hand on Ai Liang's shoulder.
In this world, bounty hunters exist in every region. They were originally mercenaries who were paid to do things. They made a living by relying on police bounties on wanted criminals and accepting some private jobs.
Later, with the development of the times, the Free Federation actually legalized mercenaries in order to reduce the cost of social security.
Fight criminals through criminals and then get paid by the government.
It is absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing without cerebral thrombosis in ten years.
This move has caused the Free Federation to have the worst public security among the five political systems so far, and the semi-feudal West Country is hundreds of times stronger than it.
Of course, this move also has a positive side. People will naturally avoid breaking the law, lest they be reported by their neighbors and exchanged for money.
The system has been continuously optimized and improved, and in the Asian League, almost everyone can register to become a bounty hunter.
It doesn't have much impact if you register. In fact, it's just an extra name.
There are many people in the Asian League who work part-time as bounty hunters.
They have their own normal jobs. Occasionally they will go on business trips to see if there are any wanted criminals at large, and provide clues to the police through their contacts in exchange for a certain amount of reward.
If I have to say it, the bounty hunter in the Asian League is more like a hybrid profession that combines informants, mercenaries, and police assistance in the previous life.
The minor characters in it may be Uncle Wang who usually sweeps the streets or Aunt Zhang who sells breakfast.
After registering, you can exchange certain rewards with the police based on the gossip you hear occasionally.
Only famous characters will be highlighted in each region.
They usually have their own special skills, or are mercenaries with strong fighting skills or talented hackers who can easily invade corporate servers. They are dangerous people who must be reported wherever they go.
Xia Qinian is one of them. At this moment, he is standing at the gate of the criminal police team and pressing Ai Liang's shoulders. This posture is obviously defeating him.
Ai Liang understood what he meant. It was simply that Gao Jiajia's father had offered a reward for someone to find Gao Jiajia's murderer.
"There is a private restaurant in front of you, where should you eat?"
Seeing that Ai Liang didn't resist, Xia Qinian suggested smoothly.
After saying that, Xia Qinian took Ai Liang to the restaurant and ordered four dishes and one soup. While waiting for the food to be served, Ai Liang briefly introduced himself.
Ai Liang remained silent and Xia Qinian took the initiative to start chatting.
Xia Qinian opened his mouth with praises: "I heard that when you found the body, you knew that the deceased was murdered, and you also told a lot of details? You have good eyesight."
"If you want to know something from me, just tell me. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Ai Liang didn't even look at Xia Qinian. He took out his cell phone and reported to Yang Xingyue and others that he was safe. He also told his parents that the matter was over and there was no need to send a lawyer.
"Hey, when I was your age, I only played games at home or went to Internet cafes to play games all day long. I didn't study hard, otherwise I wouldn't have been dismissed from the police academy two or three times in a row..."
"If you continue to talk nonsense, then I'd better go home." Ai Liang put away his phone and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Tsk, why are today's brats so precocious... Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. The real estate developer Gao Fuye directly offered a reward of 500,000 yuan to find the murderer of his daughter. If he finds it, he will add another 500,000 yuan." As a reward, there hasn’t been this kind of business in Nevada City for many years, and everyone on the street is like a shark that smells blood.”
Xia Qinian pushed the empty cup over but Ai Liang didn't even look at it. He had to pick up the teapot and pour a cup himself to cover up his embarrassment.
"anything else?"
Ai Liang didn't believe that Gao Fuye only did this by posting rewards in the bounty hunter circle. There must be other actions after his only blood relative died.
"There are others that have little to do with our circle. I heard that he just went to the media to put pressure on the police. He is obviously crazy and bites people when he can't find the murderer."
Xia Qinian took a sip of tea, and he frowned when he drank the tea, which looked like boiled water.
"Then what do you want to know from me?"
After listening to Xia Qinian's answer, Ai Liang asked about his purpose.
"If you want to investigate the cause of his daughter's death, you must at least find him to understand the specific circumstances. Is the cause of the deceased's victimization the revenge of wealthy enemies or simply a dispute between his peers? We must first clarify the direction of the investigation, otherwise it will be in vain. "
Xia Qinian took out a few banknotes and put them in front of Ai Liang.
"If you want to see him, you must at least have certain clues or results. Now there are so many people who want to see him. Of course I want to use you as the first witness of the body to see Gao Fuye. I won't let you do it in vain. I will do it now. I’ll give you five hundred. I’ll give you another five hundred no matter what the outcome is after you meet Gao Fuye.”
What Xia Qinian said was reasonable and well-founded. He was much better than those people who were running around looking for the murderer like headless flies. Using Ai Liang's method was like looking for an informant.
Ai Liang said with a hint of ridicule: "As expected of a man who has passed the police academy exams three times."
"You have a really vicious mouth, kid."
While they were talking, the waiter also brought the dishes to the table. Just when Xia Qinian was about to continue persuading Ai Liang to speak: "Don't discuss the case during the meal. If you have anything to do, talk about it after the meal."
Xia Qinian was stunned when he heard this. This sentence was so familiar to him that he would never forget it.
"Do you have a relative who is a detective?"
"No." Ai Liang didn't show any politeness to him and served himself half a bowl of rice before eating on his own, completely ignoring his employer.
Ai Liang also has a good appetite. The girl who saw the corpse in the morning would probably not be able to eat for a day or two.
"That's a coincidence. My uncle often told me this sentence before. This sentence is the default unspoken rule for everyone in the criminal police team when eating." Xia Qinian recovered from his daze and picked up the chopsticks with a smile.
The two of them were silent for a while, silently finishing the food on the table.
Especially Xia Qinian, he seemed to have returned to his teenage years, sitting at the table and eating with his family. This feeling was mainly due to what Ai Liang said just now.
...
After lunch, Ai Liang got into Xia Qinian's car and headed to school with him.
That's right, it's the school, not the rich and powerful.
Gao Fuye should have connections everywhere, so he has no time to care about bounty hunters.
It had been less than a day since the crime occurred. If clues could be found in such a short period of time, why would the police do anything if all the bounty hunters were so capable?
Gao Fuye's announcement of the reward was only considering multiple paths, and the main investigation of the case still had to rely on the police.
The school had closed its doors at this time, and the students had all gone home for the holidays. The entire campus looked empty through the iron railings.
It has only been a few hours since the reward was released, and there are already many idle people around the school, apparently all here to try their luck and find clues.
But unfortunately, the school was blocked by the police and no one could enter.
"So why did you ask me to bring you to school? Are you leaving things in the classroom to make me run away, or are you the murderer who came back to destroy the evidence?"
Xia Qinian chatted with Ai Liang all the time, but he was looking through Gao Fuye's experience in getting rich over the years, trying to find clues.
"Don't look, the murderer is probably not Gao Fuye's business rival."
Ai Liang opened the car window, put his arms on the window and supported his head with his hands to look at the school gate.
Inside, white-gloved policemen roamed around, surveying every suspicious corner.
"Oh? How do you know it's not the case? Don't think that you can become a famous detective by learning a few criminal investigation methods. In our line of work, we must first collect a large amount of information and find out the details related to the case to screen the suspects."
Xia Qinian sneered and didn't care about Ai Liang's statement. This was obviously something that a young man who loves to show off would say.
"First, if it was done by Gao Fuye's business rival, it proves that the conflict of interests between the two parties must have reached a fever pitch, but you did not raise it immediately, and Gao Fuye only used the media to put pressure on the police, proving that he did not The object of suspicion is therefore a conflict of interest that can be ruled out.”
Ai Liang didn't look back at Xia Qinian's expression, but just stared at the school quietly.
"Second, if Gao Jiajia's death was a warning from a business rival to Gao Fuye, it is completely impossible. Gao Fuye only has a daughter, and it is obvious that he loves her so much that you would kill his only relative in order not to anger him. Is that so? This will only make Gao Fuye lose his fortune."
"Third, if it is an old grudge, there is absolutely no need to kill Gao Jiajia at school. After school, there are students and food stalls everywhere around the school, and there are cameras everywhere. Are you afraid that you will not be exposed? Wait until Gao Jiajia comes home or in Wouldn’t it be more convenient to find a small alley and strangle him on the way home?”
"Fourth, the time of Gao Jiajia's death was around nine to nine-thirty after school. If a member of the public enters the school, they will definitely be asked to register by the security. As for climbing over the wall, you probably haven't seen the environment around the school after school, right? The school was surrounded by snack carts.”
"As for the place of death being outside the school, you would bring a body into the school in full view of everyone? Even if the surveillance on the stairs comes in in the middle of the night, it is not a decoration."
Xia Qinian, who was in the driver's seat, was holding his cell phone with a confused look on his face. At this time, Ai Liang turned around and looked at him and began to summarize.
"Outsiders probably don't know that our school has cameras installed in many places, including at the stairwell. No matter whether Gao Jiajia was strangled elsewhere or in the teaching building, since her body was hung at the door of the class and disguised as suicide, then The murderer will definitely be exposed to surveillance, and the police must have obtained relevant videos. Since the murderer last night is still not identified, it proves that the camera did not capture it at all or is not working. "
"Let's take a bold guess. Since Gao Jiajia was hung at the door of his class, does it mean that the murderer knew Gao Jiajia and therefore knew which class she was in? Not only that, the murderer must also be very familiar with the environment near the school, because if he wants to turn off the camera, he needs to arrive early. Remove the switch from the electrical box on the first floor."
"Why would Gao Jiajia enter a dark teaching building? Or would a girl stay stupidly in the dark after a power outage? There is a high probability that an acquaintance is looking for her."
"So the murderer is most likely someone from the school, a student, a teacher, a security guard. These people are far more likely than others."
Xia Qinian was choked and couldn't say a word. He looked at Ai Liang and then at his phone, and silently put it away.
