罪恶有痕 9

 

“他们如果用水冲洗过后厢, 那小的物品就会被水流冲走, 而且很容易卡在有缝隙的地方.” 秦东觉察到赵凯峰语气里的烦躁, 但他并不介意.

片刻后, 他从备用胎的缝隙里摸出几粒粗沙. 他把他们放在一个物证带里, 然后继续在备有胎里摸索.

接下来秦东摸出来的东西, 让赵凯峰着实愣住了.

“螺狮?!”

“没错, 螺狮! 从一个崭新的备用胎里找到的螺狮. “ 秦东小心翼翼地举起他的新发现, 得意而畅快地笑了, 笑得眼角的皱纹都立时堆积起来. “这一定是冲洗用的水里带来的. 还有这些沙子, 这些东西是不可能从自来水里跑出来的.” 秦东说着, 用食指戳了戳螺狮的螺盖, “还是湿润的呢!”

“这么说, 他们是在野外清洗的车子?” 赵凯峰又回到了请教式的语气.

“没错. 走, 我们该去看看地图了.” 秦东把几个物证带捏在手上, 朝赵凯峰挥了挥手, 一起走出了车库.

 

“妈妈! 哥哥来啦! 哥哥来啦!” 小姑娘站在门口, 把门外一个穿白T恤衫的年轻小伙子拉了进来.

小伙子一把抱起了妹妹, 在空中轻轻抛起又接住,”小丫头, 你是越长越沉了, 哥都快抱不动你了!”

“立群来啦? 快进来! 先坐会儿, 菜一会儿就好!” 女孩的妈妈文素云手里拿着一把蔬菜, 眉开眼笑地把儿子迎了进来.

“他們如果用水沖洗過後廂, 那小的物品就會被水流沖走, 而且很容易卡在有縫隙的地方.” 秦東覺察到趙凱峰語氣裏的煩躁, 但他並不介意.

片刻後, 他從備用胎的縫隙裏摸出幾粒粗沙. 他把他們放在一個物證帶裏, 然後繼續在備有胎裏摸索.

接下來秦東摸出來的東西, 讓趙凱峰著實愣住了.

“螺獅?!”

“沒錯, 螺獅! 從一個嶄新的備用胎裏找到的螺獅. “ 秦東小心翼翼地舉起他的新發現, 得意而暢快地笑了, 笑得眼角的皺紋都立時堆積起來. “這一定是沖洗用的水裏帶來的. 還有這些沙子, 這些東西是不可能從自來水裏跑出來的.” 秦東說著, 用食指戳了戳螺獅的螺蓋, “還是濕潤的呢!”

“立群來啦? 快進來! 先坐會兒, 菜一會兒就好!” 女孩的媽媽文素雲手裏拿著一把蔬菜, 眉開眼笑地把兒子迎了進來.

Traces of Sin  9

 

“If they use water to wash the trunk of the car, then small objects might have been flushed away and got stuck in narrow cracks.” Qin Dong sensed the agitation in Zhao Kaifeng’s tone, but he didn’t mind.

After a little while, he took out a few big pieces of grit. He put them into an evidence bag, then went on fumbling inside the spare tire.

The thing that he got out of the tire really surprised Zhao Kaifeng.

“A snail?!”

“That’s right, a snail! A snail that comes out of a brand new tire. ” Qin Dong held up his discovery carefully with a loud laughter, a laughter that made all his eye wrinkles that obvious. “This thing might have come from the water that they used to wash the car. Together with all the sand, there’s no way they could come out of water tap.” While talking, Qin Dong poked the lid of the snail with his forefinger, “It’s still wet!”

“So that means they washed the car in the wilderness?” Zhao Kaifeng changed his tone into consulting.

“Yes. It’s time for us to check the map out.” Qin Dong pinched the evidence bags with his fingers and gestured Zhao Kaifeng to walk out of the garage.

 

“Mommy! Bro is here! Bro is here!” The little girl stood at the door and dragged in a young man in white T-shirt.

The young man grabbed his little sister, gently threw her into the air and caught her back again,”Little sis, how heavy you’ve grown, I hardly can hold you now!”

“Liqun is coming? Come on in! Have a seat, dinner will be ready soon!” With a handful of vegetables, Wen Suyun, the girl’s Mom welcomed her son in with a warm smile.
