Chapter Twelve: A Glimpse of Pursuit
Xiao Feng looked around and then asked: "Isn't there any surveillance video?"
The remaining moon rolled her eyes and said: "If there's surveillance, would you still be useful? There isn't even a single clue!"
Xiao Cheng whispered from behind: "It can't be... it can't be true that there's something unclean here, right? Recently, everyone in the bureau has been saying that this place is... this place is the Gate of Hell, and anyone who moves in will die a terrible death!"
Xiao Feng smiled and walked straight in without saying anything.
The body had already been taken care of and a white line was drawn on the ground to mark its position.
Many places also have small white circles with a sign in the middle that says what used to be here.
Xiao Feng rubbed his chin and walked around the house in a circle. Suddenly, he turned his head and said: "Why... the clue was right in front of you, but none of you saw it?"
The remaining moonlight was stunned, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Clues? Where are the clues? I didn't see anything!"
Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "Do you still remember a principle I once told you? When... the surface of things is not enough to make us understand some principles, we have to look at the root of things.
The crescent moon furrowed its brow, stroking its adorable chin as it thought carefully, then slapped its left hand against its right palm and suddenly said: "Ah, yes! You once said that sentence before! But... what does it mean exactly?"
Xiao Feng rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "You really... have a poor understanding ability!"
He looked around and said, "Look at this crime scene. No matter what the murderer is, anyway... there's definitely not a single clue left behind. Either it was really done by some kind of monster or ghost, or... it was done by someone with very high skills."
No matter which one, I just want to ask, why... must know their modus operandi? Can knowing everything clearly really reveal who the murderer is?
I don't think so.
So... regarding all cases, when you reach a dead end, think about who ultimately benefits from the case and start investigating from that point.
And then... find the conditions for forming a case!
The remaining moon's face was filled with confusion, and he asked: "How... how do we find it? What are the conditions for forming a case?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Look, isn't this case exactly the same as two years ago?"
Yes, it is.
"This means that there is some kind of power that makes the circumstances of these two events exactly the same"
"Huh? Are you saying......"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "That's right, it's this principle. Two cases are the same, which proves... someone wants them to be the same. And since they're the same, it indeed gives people a kind of... terrifying feeling, a very stupid feeling. But wanting to achieve this point requires doing some other things to assist. What do you think those things should be?"
Xiao Feng almost fed food into Can Yue's mouth.
But... this girl doesn't know what's wrong with her today, she's been stupid and confused all day, still... doesn't understand!
Xiao Feng let out a deep sigh and continued, "Alright, alright, it seems like I have to spoon-feed you everything... Ah, yes. For this case to be just like the one from last year, the first and most important condition is that the new residents moving in must be a family of three, with a 12- or 13-year-old girl, and they absolutely cannot know what happened here before."
"Now...do you understand?"
Zan Yue is not stupid, she's sometimes indeed silly and cute, but overall, she's an extremely intelligent woman.
"Ah! You mean to say that the one who arranged for this family to live here, or in other words... invited them to move in, is the suspect!"
Xiao Feng said: "It can't be so arbitrary, but no matter whether those people are the murderers or not, anyway... they can't escape responsibility"
And so it was like this, just one minute, a case with no leads at all, suddenly... had a good-looking lead.
Zan Yue called the director's phone, and almost a few minutes later, a large number of police were put into the inspection work.
Investigate and sort out all household registration information.
It turned out that... this part didn't have any hidden parts at all.
This family, from when they moved in, how much rent, for how long, everything... was all recorded, and the person who handled it even signed their own name on top.
Such... an obvious clue, and yet nobody noticed it before?
It's dark under the lamp.
Some things that seem more complicated on the surface are actually... easily broken through!
But everyone found that it was not the administrator of the floor who accepted this family of three to move in, but the property manager of this 'hell well'.
It's true that even in such a dirty and messy place, there is actually 'property management'.
Because it doesn't need to collect garbage and sanitation fees, nor does it need to provide central heating, the property management company has taken on some external rental properties.
The manager with the surname Xia was summoned by the police to room 18018 and appeared unusually calm.
Even his face showed some astonishment, as if... the police had made a very stupid mistake and shouldn't have brought him in.
He has nothing to do with this matter.
And besides, as soon as he came in, he asked: "Why did you find me? This building, I haven't lived here for more than a year.
It's also strange that the property company here hasn't set up a full-text notice inside the building.
He is very innocent.
But Xiao Feng looked him up and down from head to toe, then smiled and calmly asked: "I'll ask you two questions first"
Manager Xia said: "Oh, okay, you ask"
Xiao Feng said: "The first question is that your property company, apart from taking care of this building, do you have any other outsourcing work?"
Manager Xia shook his head and said, "No more, our company has had it since this building was built, and now it's been decades. And... haha, to be honest, nowadays the property management of residential areas or communities are all well-equipped, even if we wanted to do something, they wouldn't allow it."
Xiao Feng nodded and asked again: "What about the second question? Do you have any other job or... help someone else with some extra income?"
Manager Xia was taken aback, looked around nervously and hastily said: "No! Absolutely not! With such a large building to manage, we're already overwhelmed with work, where would we have the leisure time to engage in part-time jobs?"
Xiao Feng nodded and didn't speak to him again, but instead said to his sister beside him: "Alright, I've finished asking, take him away, no matter what method is used, even torture, he knows something, there's a secret in his head, dig it out!"
The remaining moon laughed and waved his hand, and two policemen came up and handcuffed Xia's manager's two arms.
Xiao Feng added: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of clever or strange method he uses, he will definitely know. No matter what happens, just use me to take the blame."
Manager Xia panicked and shouted loudly: "What's the reason? What do you want to do? What law have I broken that you want to arrest me? Let me go quickly! If not... if you don't let me go, I'll sue all of you! Take you to the Supreme Court!"
Nor did he know where he knew the word 'Supreme Court'.
Maybe it's from watching TV.
Xiao Feng snorted and pointed at him, saying: "You don't need to make excuses now. Even if you don't say anything, I have the confidence to put you away for a few years. Do you understand? Hmph! Do you know what 'suspicious income' means? The all-steel Rolex on your wrist is worth over 700,000 yuan, and the clothes you're wearing look ordinary but are actually from a well-known brand. From head to toe, the whole set adds up to no less than 1 million Tianchao coins!
You also said you have no other work and your property company only handles this building's business...
Then let me ask you, even if you can get some grey income from renting, can this dilapidated building afford your luxurious lifestyle?
"Needless to say, I can now have them investigate all your accounts and see how much money is inside. Dare you?!"
With a thud.
Manager Xia stopped resisting and didn't say a word, sitting on the ground with big drops of sweat falling like small rain.
Xiao Feng added, "Perhaps... you don't know how serious the things you've done are, but a homicide occurred here, a family of three was brutally murdered, it's a case that even the provincial and higher authorities are paying attention to. If you don't confess clearly today, you'll become an accomplice to this murder case..."
Hmph!
Do you know how an execution by shooting is carried out?
Two armed police officers, one of them pulling you by one arm, making you kneel on the ground with your head bowed.
Another armed police officer holding a domestically-made rifle pressed it against your occipital bone, then...
Wow!!
Your entire head was blown off, shattered bones flying out over ten meters, and when you were put in the coffin, your head still had to be supplemented with a plastic model...
But it doesn't matter, anyway nothing can be seen after cremation
When Xiao Feng mentioned that "bang", Manager Xia's whole body jumped up.
He tilted his head and looked around the blood-filled room, and in his mind, a picture painted by Xiaofeng naturally appeared.
In an instant, the deepest defense line in his heart cracked open.
So... I peed.
Yellow liquid first seeped from his crotch, then flowed all over the floor. The room was filled with not only a bloody smell but also a strong stench of urine.
Suddenly, Manager Xia's whole body was refreshed, as if possessed by a magic spell.
He suddenly became incredibly strong and actually carried two policemen's suppression, jumping out with his whole body!
"It's not me, it's not me! I didn't know, I was just screening the residents, I really didn't know something like this would happen here. Their deaths have nothing to do with me at all! I don't know anything, please spare me, please spare me!"
It even gets somewhat surreal towards the end.
Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised his hand, striking the area below Manager Xia's nose and above his mouth with the second joint of his middle finger.
Manager Xia took a painful step back, his whole body retreating two steps.
Suddenly both eyes rolled upwards, and the entire eye was white, unable to see the eyeball!
In this way, his whole body kept 'jolting' upwards, as if he were a marionette with someone vigorously pulling the strings above.
His body shook up and down for two seconds.
Then...
"Hmm..."
Manager Xia let out a long sigh, his eyes returned to normal, although there was a hint of confusion, but he had regained his senses.
He twitched his mouth and suddenly burst into tears.
He sat down on the ground, pounding his fists and crying out: "I... I really didn't know! If I had known, no matter how much money they gave me, I wouldn't have done this despicable thing! That little girl... she even called me uncle and gave me candy... How could I bear to see this kind family die such a miserable death?!"
Cried for a while.
Xiao Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone not to disturb him.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the crying gradually stopped, and only then did he walk in front of him, saying in a low voice: "Since you know you're wrong, seize this opportunity to redeem yourself now, tell me, who exactly...made you do this?" Before arriving at room '18018'.
Xiao Feng looked around and then asked: "Isn't there any surveillance video?"
The remaining moon rolled her eyes and said: "If there's surveillance, would you still be useful? There isn't even a single clue!"
Xiao Cheng whispered from behind: "It can't be... it can't be true that there's something unclean here, right? Recently, everyone in the bureau has been saying that this place is... this place is the Gate of Hell, and anyone who moves in will die!"

No matter which one, I just want to ask, why... must know their modus operandi? Is it that once everything is figured out, you can find out who the murderer is?
I don't think so.
So... regarding all cases, when you reach a dead end, think about who ultimately benefits from the case and start investigating from that point.
And then... find the conditions for forming a case!

Zan Yue called the director's phone, and almost a few minutes later, a large number of police were put into the inspection work.
Investigate and sort out all household registration information in a neat manner.
It turned out that... this part didn't have any hidden parts at all.
This family, from when they moved in, how much rent, for how long, everything... was all recorded, and the person in charge even signed their own name on it.
Such... an obvious clue, and yet nobody noticed it before?

Manager Xia was nervous for a moment, looked around and said: "There is no full text! This is absolutely not, such a large building we are all busy with no time to spare, where do we have the leisure to engage in part-time jobs?"
Xiao Feng nodded and didn't speak to him again, but instead said to his sister beside him: "Alright, I've finished asking, take him away, no matter what method is used, even torture, he knows something, there's a secret in his head, dig it out!"

You look good! Do you know what 'suspicious income' means? The all-steel Rolex on your wrist is worth over 700,000 yuan, and the clothes you're wearing may look ordinary, but they're also famous brands. From head to toe, the whole set adds up to no less than one million Tianchao coins!

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "Do you still remember a principle I once told you? When... the surface of things is not enough to make us understand some principles, we have to look at the root of things.
Zan Yue furrowed her brow, stroking her adorable chin as she thought carefully. Suddenly, she slapped her left hand against her right palm and exclaimed, "Ah, yes! You once said the whole sentence before! But... what does it mean, exactly?"
Xiao Feng rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "You really... have a poor understanding ability!"
He looked around and said, "Look at this crime scene. No matter what the murderer is, anyway... there's definitely not a single clue left behind. Either it was really done by some kind of monster or ghost, or... it was done by someone with very high skills."

It's also strange that the property company here is not set up inside the building either.
He is innocent.
But Xiao Feng looked him up and down from top to bottom, then smiled and calmly asked: "I'll ask you two questions first"
Manager Xia said: "Oh, okay, you ask"
Xiao Feng said: "The first question is that your property company, apart from taking care of this building, do you have any other outsourcing work?"

Xiao Feng nodded and asked again: "What about the second question? Do you have any other job or... help someone else with some extra income?"
Manager Xia was taken aback, looked around nervously and hastily said: "No full-time staff! This is absolutely not possible. With such a large building to manage, we are already overwhelmed with work, where would we have the leisure time to engage in part-time jobs?"
Xiao Feng nodded and didn't speak to him again, but instead said to his sister beside him: "Alright, I've finished asking, take him away, no matter what method is used, even torture, he knows something, there's a secret in his head, dig it out!"

It even gets somewhat surreal towards the end.
Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised his hand, striking the area below Manager Xia's nose and above his mouth with the second joint of his middle finger.
Manager Xia took a painful step back, his whole body retreating two steps.
Suddenly both eyes rolled upwards, and the entire eye was white, unable to see the eyeball!
In this way, his whole body kept 'popping' upwards, as if he were a marionette with someone vigorously pulling the strings above.
His body shook up and down twice.
Then...
"Hmm..."
Manager Xia let out a long sigh, his eyes returned to normal, although there was a hint of confusion, but he had regained his senses.
He twitched his mouth and suddenly burst into tears.
He sat down on the ground, pounding his fists and crying out: "I... I really didn't know! If I had known, no matter how much money they gave me, I wouldn't have done this despicable thing! That little girl... she even called me uncle and gave me candy... How could I bear to see this kind family die such a miserable death?!"
Cried for a while, looking good.
Xiao Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone not to disturb him.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the crying gradually stopped, and only then did he walk in front of him, saying in a low voice: "Since you know you're wrong, seize this opportunity to redeem yourself now, tell me... who exactly made you do this?" Before arriving at room '18018'.
Xiao Feng looked around and then asked: "Isn't there any surveillance video?"
The remaining moon rolled her eyes and said: "If there's surveillance, would you still be useful? There isn't even a single clue!"
Xiao Cheng whispered from behind: "It can't be... it can't be true that there's something unclean here, right? Recently, everyone in the bureau has been saying that this place is... this place is the Gate of Hell, and anyone who moves in will die!"
Xiao Feng smiled and walked straight in without saying anything.
The body had already been taken care of and a white line was drawn on the ground to mark its position.
Many places also have small white circles with a sign in the middle that says what used to be here.
Xiao Feng rubbed his chin, walked around the house in a circle, and suddenly turned his head to say: "Why... the clue was right in front of you, but none of you saw it?"
The remaining moonlight was stunned, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Clues? Where are the clues? I didn't see anything!"
Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "Do you still remember a principle I once told you? When... the surface of things is not enough to make us understand some principles, we have to look at the root of things.
The crescent moon furrowed its brow, stroking its adorable chin as it thought carefully, then slapped its left hand against its right palm and suddenly said: "Ah, yes! You once said that this sentence is good-looking! But... what does it mean exactly?"
Xiao Feng rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "You really... have a poor understanding ability!"
He looked around and said, "Look at this crime scene. No matter what the murderer is, anyway... there's definitely not a single clue left behind. Either it was really done by some kind of monster or ghost, or... it was done by someone with very high skills."
No matter which one, I just want to ask, why... must know their modus operandi? Is it that once everything is figured out, you'll know who the murderer is?
I don't think so.
So... for all cases, when you reach a dead end, think about who ultimately benefits from the case and start investigating from that point.
And then... find the conditions for forming a case!
The remaining moon's face was filled with confusion, and he asked: "How... how do we find it? What are the conditions for forming a case?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Look, isn't this case exactly the same as the one two years ago?"
Yes, it is.
"This means that there is some kind of power that makes the circumstances of these two events exactly the same"
"Huh? Are you saying......"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "That's right, it's exactly this principle. Two identical cases prove that... someone wants them to be the same. And since they are the same, it indeed gives people a kind of... terrifying feeling, a very stupid feeling. But if you want to achieve this point, you need to do some other things to assist. What do you think those things should be?"
Xiao Feng almost fed food into Can Yue's mouth.
But... this girl doesn't know what's wrong with her today, she's been stupid and silly, still... can't understand what looks good!
Xiao Feng let out a deep sigh and continued, "Alright, alright, it seems like I have to spoon-feed you everything... Ah, yes. For this case to be just like the one from last year, the first condition is that the new residents must be a family of three, with a 12- or 13-year-old girl, and they can't know what happened here before."
"Now...do you understand?"
Zan Yue is not stupid, she's sometimes indeed silly and cute, but overall, she's an extremely intelligent woman.
"Ah! You mean to say that the one who arranged for this family to live here, or in other words... invited them to move in, is the suspect!"
Xiao Feng said: "It can't be so arbitrary, but no matter whether those people are the murderers or not, anyway... they can't escape responsibility"
And so, just like that, in just one minute, a case with no leads... had a lead.
Zan Yue called the director's phone, and almost a few minutes later, a large number of police were put into the inspection work.
Investigate and sort out all household registration information.
It turned out that... this part didn't have any hidden parts at all.
This family, from when they moved in, how much rent, for how long, everything... was all recorded, and the person in charge even signed their name on it.
Such an obvious clue, how come nobody noticed it before?
It's dark under the lamp.
Some things that seem more complicated on the surface are actually... easily broken through!
But everyone found that it was not the administrator of the floor who accepted this family of three to move in, but the property manager of this 'hell well' looked good.
It's true that even in such a dirty and messy place, there is actually 'property management'.
Because it doesn't need to collect garbage and sanitation fees, nor does it need to provide central heating, the property management company has taken on some external rental properties.
The manager with the surname Xia was summoned by the police to room 18018 and appeared unusually calm.
Even his face showed some astonishment, as if... the police had made a very foolish mistake and shouldn't have brought him in.
He has nothing to do with this matter.
And then he came in and asked: "Why did you find me? This building, I haven't lived here for over a year.
It's also strange that the property company here is not set up inside the building either.
He is innocent.
But Xiao Feng looked him up and down from top to bottom, then smiled and calmly asked: "I'll ask you two questions first"
Manager Xia said: "Oh, okay, you ask"
Xiao Feng said: "The first question is that your property company, apart from taking care of this building, do you have any other outsourcing work?"
Manager Xia shook his head and said, "No more, our company has had it since this building was built, and now it's been decades. And... haha, to be honest, nowadays the property management of residential areas or communities are all well-equipped, even if we wanted to do something, they wouldn't allow it."
Xiao Feng nodded and asked again: "What about the second question? Do you have any other work or... help someone else with some extra income?"
Manager Xia was nervous for a moment, looked around and hurriedly said: "No! This is absolutely not, such a large building we are all busy with no time to spare, where do we have the leisure to engage in part-time jobs?"
Xiao Feng nodded and didn't speak to him again, but instead said to his sister beside him: "Alright, I've finished asking, take him away, no matter what method is used, even torture, he knows something, there's a secret in his head, dig it out and let's see!"
The remaining moon laughed and waved his hand, two police officers came up and handcuffed Xia's manager's hands.
Xiao Feng added: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of clever or strange method he uses, he will definitely know. No matter what happens, just use me to take the blame."
Manager Xia panicked and shouted loudly: "What's going on? What do you want to do? What law have I broken that you want to arrest me? Let me go quickly! If you don't let me go... if you don't let me go, I'll sue you! I'll take you to the Supreme Court!"
Nor did he know where he knew the word 'Supreme Court'.
Maybe it's from watching TV.
Xiao Feng snorted and pointed at him, saying: "You don't need to make excuses now. Even if you don't say anything, I have the confidence to put you away for a few years. Do you understand? Hmph! Do you know what 'suspicious income' means? The all-steel Rolex on your wrist is worth over 700,000 yuan, and the clothes you're wearing look ordinary but are actually from a well-known brand. From head to toe, the whole set adds up to no less than 1 million Tianchao coins!
You also said you have no other work and your property company only handles this building's business...
Then let me ask you, even if you can get some grey income from renting, can this dilapidated building afford your luxurious lifestyle?
"Needless to say, I can now have them investigate all your accounts and see how much money is inside. Dare you?!"
With a thud.
Manager Xia stopped resisting and didn't say a word. He sat on the ground with big drops of sweat falling from his head like small raindrops.
Xiao Feng added, "Perhaps... you don't know how serious the things you've done are, but a homicide case occurred here, a family of three was brutally murdered, it's a case that even the provincial and higher authorities are paying attention to. If you don't confess clearly today, you'll become an accomplice to this murder case..."
Hmph!
Do you know how an execution by shooting is carried out?
Two armed police officers, one of them pulling you by one arm, making you kneel on the ground with your head down.
Another armed police officer holding a domestically-made rifle pressed it against your occipital bone, then...
Wow!!
Your entire head was blown off, shattered bones flying out over ten meters, and when you were put in a coffin, your head still had to be supplemented with a plastic model...
But it doesn't matter, anyway nothing can be seen after cremation
When Xiao Feng mentioned that "bang", Manager Xia's whole body jumped up.
He tilted his head and took a look at this blood-filled room, and the scene depicted by Xiaofeng naturally appeared in his mind.
In an instant, the deepest defense line in his heart cracked open.
So... I peed.
Yellow liquid first seeped from his crotch, then flowed all over the floor. The room was filled with not only a bloody smell but also a strong stench of urine.
Suddenly, Manager Xia's whole body was refreshed, as if possessed by a magic spell.
He suddenly became incredibly strong and actually carried two policemen's suppression, jumping out with his whole body!
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me! I didn't know, I was just screening the residents, I really didn't know something like this would happen here. Their deaths have nothing to do with me at all! I don't know anything, please spare me, can you please spare me?"
It even gets somewhat surreal towards the end.
Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised his hand, striking the area below Manager Xia's nose and above his mouth with the second joint of his middle finger.
Manager Xia took a painful step back, his whole body retreating two steps.
