Chapter 55: Darkness
"The exam for assistant forensic engineer is very simple. It is just the work we usually do when we go to the scene. You can pass it with a little memorization."
Zhou Ning agreed against his will. Although he didn't know how capable Zhao Xinli's family was, Xu Dayuan urged Zhao Xinli to make progress and threw him to him. It seemed that he had plans for the next step. However, if he could really recruit a full-time trace inspector, his job would be much easier.
Xu Dayuan glanced at Zhou Ning with satisfaction. This kind of unplanned cooperation was the most comfortable.
Zhao Xinli gritted his teeth and stared at Zhou Ning.
"When is the exam? I need time to review, right?"
"Go back and check, it seems to be March, there is still more than a month left, why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing Zhou Ning looking very relaxed, Zhao Xinli's tense face also relaxed.
"Okay, then it's settled. Xiao Zhou, you have to help me. I'm completely clueless."
Xu Dayuan patted the back of the chair.
"You're talking too much nonsense. Drive quickly and get down to business. As for studying, you should talk more with Xiao Zhou, the forensic doctor. He was one of the first batch of people to pass the civil service exam, and he is a graduate . He has real talent and knowledge."
Zhou Ning's face turned red, he knew his own strengths and weaknesses, and getting a graduate thesis approved was not an honorable way, but when it came to knowledge of trace detection, he was really a little worried about Zhao Xinli.
After all, there are many subjects to be tested, including criminal law, civil law, litigation principles and practice, evidence principles and practice, forensic appraisal system, document examination, trace examination, document examination practice, trace examination practice, forensic appraisal image technology and application, physical evidence technology, criminal photography, simulated scene investigation, handwriting comparison and analysis, fingerprint and footprint extraction and identification, etc.
Zhao Xinli smiled innocently and quickly started the car. Zhou Ning didn't say anything else, but his cell phone vibrated. He opened it and saw that it was a text message from Xu Dayuan.
Xu Dayuan: Your cooperation is good. Please help me urge him to take the exam. Otherwise, this kid will just spend his time slacking off. If he really doesn't make any progress, I can only blame his family.
Zhou Ning replied with two words: OK.
After talking for a long time, Zhao Xinli didn't say a word about what his family did. However, the more Zhou Ning talked about it, the more he felt that it must be something extraordinary. After all, to make Xu Dayuan so concerned, given his temper, he might not be a leader, but more likely someone who had done Xu Dayuan a favor.
As I was thinking, the car had already stopped in front of a building. It wasn't a very beautiful building, but there were quite a few cars parked in front of it. I looked up and saw the Toyota Prado.
Xu Dayuan patted He Chunyang on the shoulder. Without saying anything, He Chunyang got out of the car, walked around, and returned to the front of the car. Xu Dayuan rolled down the window.
"Does the car number match?"
He Chunyang nodded.
"That's the car number that deserves a beating, Lu B74110. I touched the hood and it's hot. The person must have just gotten off the car not long ago. Should we get in directly?"
Xu Dayuan waved his hand.
"Let's go up together, but... Doctor Xiao Zhou will wait in the car."
Zhou Ning didn't try to show off and nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'll wait here and watch the car. I can stop it when the driver gets off."
The few of them entered the building quickly without stopping. Zhou Ning put down the survey box, took off his white coat, and then put on the cotton coat in the back seat. It was still a bit cold in the car even with the heater off.
After waiting for a few minutes, Xu Dayuan and his companions came downstairs with a man. The man kept waving his arms and walked towards the Prado. Zhou Ning saw it and quickly got out of the car.
As soon as I got closer, I heard the man explaining.
"You can watch if you want. I go to construction sites every day. I have never been to the Baimahe Reservoir. I have a dashcam in my car. You can check it if you don't believe me."
As he said this, he opened all the car doors, including the tailgate. He climbed into the driver's seat, took out the dash cam and handed it to He Chunyang.
He Chunyang looked at the driving recorder, Xu Dayuan checked the inside of the car, Zhao Xinli pulled out the car key, walked directly to the tailgate, poked on the door a few times, and the spare tire door opened, with the tire inside lying on top intactly.
Zhou Ning came over to help take pictures. Zhao Xinli looked at the tire number on it, then walked around the car. All four wheels were original wheels and were badly worn, not as new as the tire found in the reservoir.
Xu Dayuan walked to the side of Zhou Ning and Zhao Xinli and asked in a low voice:
"Look, the spare tire is not there?"
"The spare tire is still there and has never been used. The screws have not been twisted. All four tires are original tires. They are badly worn, but have never been replaced."
This discovery stunned Xu Dayuan, and Zhou Ning was also surprised. Could it be that Xu Zhanshan lied?
At this time, He Chunyang also came over and handed the dashcam to Xu Dayuan. The time was shown on it as 23:20 on January 21. The picture stopped and then went black.
"The dashcam showed that he was traveling back and forth between the company, the construction site, the restaurant, and home from the 19th to the 22nd. He never went to Wenzhou Road, let alone the Baimahe Reservoir."
Xu Dayuan glanced at the man and waved at him. The man walked over and Xu Dayuan threw his driver's license and ID card to him.
"Ma Xiangong, do you know Zhang Jiahui, a nurse in the operating room of the Eighth Hospital?"
Ma Xiangong shook his head, as if trying to search his memory.
"I don't know him. I just know the director of the physical examination department. Our workers have come here and need a group physical examination. We have signed a contract with the Eighth Hospital before. They will go for the physical examination in batches, and all the payment will be made through the public account we opened."
Just as Xu Dayuan was about to say something, Zhao Xinli stopped him. He was holding the blue driving license in his hand , his eyes widened.
"You always drive your own car, and never lend it to anyone?"
Ma Xiangong thought about it.
"No, I didn't dare to lend the car I bought in early 2010 to anyone. Even if someone needed to borrow the car for a wedding, I would drive it myself."
"Did you inspect your car yourself, or did you hire someone to inspect it for you?"
Ma Xiangong was relieved.
"A buddy of mine gave me a number and said he could help me get the car inspected and pay me after the inspection. I was busy at the time, so I asked someone to do it for me. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Everyone looked at Zhao Xinli, and he nodded in understanding.
"The vehicle information will be leaked. I guess your car has been cloned. Didn't you check if there are any violations?"
Ma Xiangong shook his head, but as if he had suddenly realized something, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, it's me, Xiao Zhang. How many points did I lose when you inspected my car in August?... Ah, 42 points... Ok, that's fine, I have something else to do."
Ma Xiangong hung up the phone and looked at Xu Dayuan with an innocent face.
"Comrade police officer, my colleagues at work helped me to get the points and fines. I didn't know that so many points were deducted. Did someone copy my car?"
Xu Dayuan's face was solemn, he nodded slightly and said:
"Don't turn off your phone. We can contact you at any time. Then give me the phone number of the person who will help you inspect the car."
Ma Xiangong also realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment. If it was just a traffic accident, he could not inquire in this way. It seemed that the matter was very serious. He did not dare to delay and found a number. Zhao Xinli went up to take a picture.
Several people got in the car. It was already getting dark. After all, today was the Little New Year, and there were children setting off fireworks on the road from time to time. Zhao Xinli looked at Xu Dayuan through the rearview mirror.
"Where are we going, boss?"
Xu Dayuan rubbed his hair, an action he usually made when he had no clue. Zhou Ning was also anxious, but now all the clues were dead ends and he had no direction.
"Leave Xiao Zhou, the forensic doctor, at his home first, and we'll go to the traffic police station."
Zhao Xinli blinked.
"Boss, do you want to check the information of that fake license plate car?"
Xu Dayuan nodded and looked at the back of Zhao Xinli's head with three layers of folds.
"If you have any ideas, tell me now. I'm not in the mood to guess."
Zhao Xinli looked nonchalant, raised his eyebrows at Zhou Ning, and said boastfully:
"You don't have to go to the traffic police station. You can find a police communication system and input the license plate number to find the violation information, including the location, time, and even the surveillance footage. This is very convenient. If you go to the traffic police station at this time, you probably won't find anyone there."
Xu Dayuan smiled.
"You can be useful sometimes, go find Chen Yuhu."
Zhao Xinli looked confused and looked at Xu Dayuan through the rearview mirror.
"Who is Chen Yuhu?"
Zhou Ning held his forehead with his hand. This guy's IQ was unstable and it was easy to guess that he was Captain Chen of the traffic police team.
Sure enough, before I could get a response, I got slapped on the back of my neck.
"You really can't stand being praised. Turn around quickly and let's go to Huadong Community."
