Chapter 37 Woman

Twenty minutes later, Bian Xiaocheng parked the car at an intersection 100 meters away from Changshui Middle School. Jiang Ying asked him to stay in the car and wait, and went to the school with Ye Chuyang.

Jiang Ying asked, "Did Haiyang tell you the details of Liang Youyou's case?"

Ye Chuyang said: "No, he only told me that Song Youhai killed someone, and the deceased was a first-year student of Changshui No. [-] Middle School."

Jiang Ying shook his head and said with emotion: "This old man is really rigid. In the era of information explosion, he still regards principles as the bible, and he keeps secrets about things that he would know if he asked a reporter."

Ye Chuyang said: "Don't say that, it's not a bad thing to have principles."

Jiang Ying glanced at him and said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about him. I'll tell you the story of the case; the day Liang Youyou was murdered was Saturday, and the school was on holiday. She and her sister were in an art tutoring class near the school. The two sisters, one learning guzheng and the other learning pipa. They came out of the remedial class at 08:30 in the evening. Usually, their family members would pick them up after class, but their parents were busy that day, so they were half an hour late. The little sisters No parents came to pick them up, so they walked around the city at night, but were followed by Song Youhai, who followed them into an alley and killed Liang Youyou. Liang Xinxin was injured in the process of being chased by him, and was rescued by a passerby."

Ye Chuyang still felt sloppy: "Why did Song Youhai kill Liang Youyou?"

Jiang Yingdao: "A reporter interviewed Liang Xinxin. Liang Xinxin said that when Song Youhai caught up with her, she pulled Liang Youyou and Liang Youyou. When Liang Youyou resisted, Song Youhai threw Liang Youyou to the ground. Liang Xinxin took the opportunity to escape. It was like molesting her on her body, and she was rescued by a passerby. Song Youhai fled after being found, and the passerby went to chase Song Youhai."

Ye Chuyang: "Is the passerby who chased Song Youhai a witness?"

Jiang Ying said, "The police haven't found anyone who rescued Liang Xinxin. All of this was dictated by Liang Xinxin. But another eyewitness can prove that Liang Xinxin is telling the truth."

Ye Chuyang: "Another witness? Are there two witnesses?"

Jiang Yingdao: "Yes, the scene of the crime is the back alley of the food court. When a restaurant waiter was taking out the trash, he saw Liang Xinxin being thrown down by Song Youhai, passers-by rescued Liang Xinxin, Song Youhai escaped, and passers-by chased Song Youhai again."

While talking, they arrived at the 'Little Sun Art Training Center' on Lijing Street. The training center is on the second floor of a commercial building. There is a conspicuous signboard on the window facing the road, and the bus station is downstairs.

Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying stood downstairs in the training center. Ye Chuyang blocked the sunlight and looked around, saying, "The cameras here cover a wide area."

Jiang Yingdao: "From this street to the intersection in front, Song Youhai and the two girls can be found in the surveillance video."

The food street is about one kilometer away from the training center. Ye Chuyang thought about it and said, "I want to go to the scene of the crime."

Jiang Ying said without hesitation, "OK, let's go."

It would be a long way to go any further, so Jiang Ying called Bian Xiaocheng and asked Bian Xiaocheng to move the car near the food street.

Ye Chuyang seldom visits this street, because it is too far away from where he lives, and he has only heard a little about the food street around the square in front of him.At this time, the road he was walking was the one that Liang Youyou was followed by Song Youhai on the night of Liang Youyou's accident. He walked on the sidewalk and looked out for the surrounding shops, and found that many shops had the words "Qixi Rewards" hanging outside, and wondered, "Qixi? Qixi fast Reached?"

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Dr. Ye, Qixi Festival has passed."

Ye Chuyang lives a very casual life. Except for major festivals, he doesn't pay much attention to the big and small festivals. Even if there are push notifications on his phone, he just glances over them casually and ignores them.Moreover, he is used to being single, and he doesn't care about festivals like Qixi Festival and Valentine's Day.It was the same this year, Qixi Festival passed by in his muddleheaded way, and he asked, "Which day?"

Jiang Yingdao: "August 25, four days ago."

Ye Chuyang looked up at the sky, thinking about what he was doing four days ago, and soon he remembered, so he covered his face by pushing his glasses, and said, "It's so hot, go buy me a bottle water."

It happened that there was a supermarket in front of it, and Jiang Ying entered the supermarket obediently.

Ye Chuyang waited for Jiang Ying at the door, fanned the wind with his hands with a wooden face, and his face was a little red, because he remembered that the day he brought Jiang Ying home was August 24, and he and Jiang Ying treated Jiang Ying on the eve of August 25. Spent it in the bedroom... No wonder Zhou Qingchu was looking for Jiang Ying for the past two days, no wonder Jiang Ying said that he would make it up to her when they called Zhou Qingchu on the phone that day, no wonder Zhou Qingchu suspected that Jiang Ying was out of town with other women.The two days when Jiang Ying disappeared were too coincidental.

Just as Ye Chuyang was thinking, the back of his neck was suddenly frozen. He shrank his neck and turned his head. He saw Jiang Ying smiling at him with two bottles of ice water, and said, "What are you thinking about? You are so focused on thinking."

Ye Chuyang didn't say a word, took the bottle of water he handed over, and said, "Don't neglect your girlfriend, take the time to call her and explain clearly, don't let her misunderstand you."

Jiang Ying just smiled, put the pack of cigarettes he just bought into his pants pocket, and said, "I'll arrange it."

A girl came to hand out leaflets, Ye Chuyang caught it, and the girl said respectfully, "The Electric City on the second floor of Huafeng Shopping Plaza is newly opened, and there will be a week-long song and dance performance in the evening!"

The girl left after speaking, repeating each leaflet she handed out.

Ye Chuyang looked at the flyer while walking, and said, "The opening will be on August 25, isn't it the day of Qixi Festival?"

The weather was hot, Jiang Ying took off his suit jacket and threw it into the car when he got out of the car. He only wore a shirt on it. He pulled the collar of the shirt very low, held a cold water bottle around his neck to drive away the heat, and said: "August 25th is also the day Liang Youyou's accident happened. Is there any connection between the two?"

Ye Chuyang shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence, there can be no connection."

The scene of the crime was an alley nearly [-] meters wide between two restaurants, which was usually used to store trash cans. Several cordons were pulled at the entrance of the alley, but nearly half of it had been torn down.The alley was not too deep, and the long and narrow walls on both sides blocked more than half of the light, making it look dim even in broad daylight.

Jiang Ying supported the wall and asked, "Go in and have a look?"

Ye Chuyang looked at the cordon in front of him and hesitated for a moment, then bent down and got in.The alley smelled bad and the trash cans were surrounded by black garbage bags.In the middle of the alley, there was a puddle of dried and blackened blood in the shape of fish scales, which attracted flies in the hot weather.

Jiang Ying squatted down next to the pool of blood, and said, "Liang Youyou died here, and the police collected Song Youhai's footprints around the body." He stood up and pointed to the end of the alley, "Liang Xinxin is running in that direction. "

The direction of Liang Xinxin's escape was the due west, and there were two rows of restaurants facing the due west and the due east at the front and back of the alley.The back door of the restaurant is very dirty, so there are almost no pedestrians on weekdays, only the staff of the back kitchen come and go.

Ye Chuyang walked forward along Liang Xinxin's escape route, and finally stopped at a place ten meters away from the alley and turned left. He stopped and looked around, only seeing the deserted long street. There was another noise in the back kitchen of the left and right restaurants.

Jiang Ying walked up to him and said, "After seeing the scene, what do you think?"

Ye Chuyang pondered for a while, and said, "Can you contact that restaurant waiter?"

Jiang Ying: "You mean the No.2 witness?"

Ye Chuyang nodded.

Jiang Ying didn't ask much, took out his phone and walked away. After more than ten minutes of negotiation, he returned to Ye Chuyang, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It happens to be dinner time. I'll treat you to dinner."

Jiang Ying also called Bian Xiaocheng, and the restaurant where he invited him to dinner was the one where the waiters of the witnesses worked.This is a well-known and time-honored restaurant, and there are many customers at noon. The waiter led them to a box on the third floor.

Ye Chuyang was sitting in the private room, and saw a window on the wall of the private room facing east. Behind the window was the street facing the back door of the hotel. It was very ugly, so the curtains were usually drawn.He pointed out the window to Jiang Ying, and Jiang Ying understood it, so he asked the waiter who was pouring water: "The windows of your boxes on the third floor all face the garbage station outside?"

The waitress girl thought he was dissatisfied with the environment, and hurriedly said: "No, only this box has windows, and the other boxes have no windows, and the curtains are usually drawn. Do you need to help you change to the box next door without windows?"

Jiang Yingdao: "No need, bring the menu."

Bian Xiaocheng was very clever, and he would never let the boss order in person when he was around, so he ordered a few dishes quickly and with quality.When the food was served, several waitresses came, all wearing name tags on their chests. When they were about to leave after serving the food, Jiang Ying looked at one of them, a plump woman in her early forties, and said, "Yang Cuiping?"

The woman named Yang Cuiping was stunned for a moment, and said with a strong northeast accent: "What's wrong? What else do you need?"

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "I'm Liang Youyou's lawyer, and I'm looking for you to learn more about the situation."

Ye Chuyang looked at Jiang Ying and found that Jiang Ying was indeed, as he said, very good at disguising and lying.Yang Cuiping believed it immediately, asked her colleagues to help her explain the situation to the manager, and then stayed in the box.

Jiang Ying pointed to the seat next to Bian Xiaocheng, and said, "Please sit down, I need a little time for you."

Yang Cuiping sat down, honestly and straightforwardly said: "I have already told the police, why are you looking for me again?"

Jiang Yingdao: "Because the suspect refused to plead guilty, I, as the victim's lawyer, need to understand the situation further. Please cooperate with us."

Yang Cuiping nodded: "Okay, then you can ask."

Jiang Ying looked at Ye Chuyang with his hands on his chin and smiled, "Boss, what do you want to ask?"

Ye Chuyang gave Jiang Ying a blank look, and said to Yang Cuiping, "Then please tell me what you saw."

Yang Cuiping said: "It's weird to say that, that night when I came out of the back door to take out the trash, I heard a child shouting from the alley. I looked over there and saw a man pressing on a little girl. , Oh, I was scared at the time, and I cursed over there, and then a woman ran over and pushed the man on the little girl away. The man ran away, and the woman chased after him, so I hurried over to see Little girl. The little girl dragged me into the alley again, saying that her sister was still there, but I saw her sister lying on the ground, so I called for help and called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. The child was not rescued."

Ye Chuyang grasped an important point: "A woman? Is the person chasing the murderer a woman?"

Yang Cuiping: "Yes, she has long hair, she is not a woman."

Ye Chuyang: "You only saw her with long hair, but didn't you see her face?"

Yang Cuiping: "Oh, it's too dark, the street lamp is pregnant again, I can't see the face clearly. The two of them rolled together, it was so dark that the two shadows couldn't tell who was who, and then the woman chased the man. ran away."

Ye Chuyang: "Where are they going?"

Yang Cuiping pointed to the side of the guide: "There."

Ye Chuyang thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you gone to the Public Security Bureau to identify Song Youhai?"

Yang Cuiping: "Who is it?"

Jiang Ying: "Suspect, have you identified him?"

Yang Cuiping: "Oh, the police showed me some photos and asked me if the person in the photos was the murderer. Although I saw the person, I didn't see the face clearly, and I couldn't talk nonsense, so I didn't identify him. "

Jiang Ying looked at Ye Chuyang and asked, "Are there any questions?"

Ye Chuyang shook his head.

Jiang Ying said, "It's okay, I'll trouble you."

After Yang Cuiping left, Ye Chuyang frowned and said, "Who is that woman?"

Jiang Yingdao: "Maybe it's just a passerby?"

Ye Chuyang said: "If she was just acting bravely, why hasn't she shown up yet? The police can't find her, she seems to be... hiding on purpose."

Jiang Ying: "Then what do you suspect is the relationship between this brave woman and Song Youhai?"

Ye Chuyang said: "I don't know, but I think her behavior of not showing her face so far is very suspicious and abnormal."

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Anyway, do you suspect that there is something inside this case?"

Ye Chuyang pondered silently for a while, and after a few minutes made up his mind, he said, "I want to sample Song Youhai."

Jiang Ying raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "What kind of harvest?"

Ye Chuyang looked at Jiang Ying, and said seriously: "I want to enter Song Youhai's mental cabin and re-investigate this case."

Jiang Ying: "What's the reason? Isn't your goal to cure the mentally ill? Now is it to solve the case?"

Ye Chuyang said seriously: "Song Youhai is also insane, he is also considered a mental patient. This does not violate my original intention."

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "You still can't let Zhong Ling go. Another purpose of your entering Song Youhai's spiritual cabin is to find Anton, right?"

Ye Chuyang couldn't deny that Jiang Ying was wrong, so he nodded, "If Anton really has someone else, he's hidden too deep, and it's hard to dig him out by the police looking for evidence, so I want to learn from Song Youhai. Find a way in your memory."

Jiang Ying looked a little helpless, sighed and smiled: "What should I do, Dr. Ye, you seem to be doing something crazy and dangerous, but I am very interested. So can I also participate this time? "

Ye Chuyang hesitated, and Jiang Ying saw that Ye Chuyang was hesitating, so he said, "If you reject me, I will withdraw the capital."

Ye Chuyang immediately stretched out his hand to Jiang Ying and said, "It's a pleasant cooperation."
