Chapter 345: Hopeless Love
Is this string of numbers inexplicably familiar?
That's right, these eight numbers can't help but remind people of the time on the ancient paintings of the Mi family, although the time was translated by Min Xue himself, but it is indeed the same pattern, 18196194.
Tsk, I don't know if it's a coincidence.
But that string of numbers Min Xue hasn't figured out the specific meaning yet, and there is another one here, which makes people very big.
There are so many things that an eight-digit number might refer to.
Passwords, lotteries... Even the title deed has eight digits on it.
And before, didn't Min Xue guess that it was a penguin group number, and by the way, he cracked a red envelope gambling group case?
Thinking of this, Min Xue couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to log in to the penguin number, enter the number and add a query.
Well... There is no such group/person.
Very good, a possibility is ruled out, and the optimist spirit is full.
"This line of tattoos has not been tattooed for a long time, it should not be more than three months," Ms. Lu added.
Min Xue fell into deep thought when he heard this.
Since this is the case, then Xi Caiqing's tattoo should be tattooed in the magic capital.
There are many tattoo parlors in the huge magic capital, but if you really check it, you should be able to find it.
The question is, does this tattoo have anything to do with the investigation of the case? Is it worth spending a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate?
It's hard to say.
At least for now, it's irrelevant.
Min Xue felt that this line should be put aside first.
Although I didn't figure out the meaning of the tattoo numbers on the corpse, knowing the murder weapon was worth the trip.
The autopsy is over, but the case itself is still in place.
According to the established plan, Min Xue called Xiao Li and went to Xi Caiqing's former workplace, Modu Jiahe Technology Co., Ltd.
The tech company, while not very large, is only relative to its presence in the magic capital.
In fact, a new type of material developed by this company is at the leading level in the industry, so the business is booming, and the company even rented an entire floor in a well-known building as an office space.
As soon as I entered the gate of Jiahe Company, the first thing I saw was a front desk girl dressed in professional attire.
The girl is the same age as Xi Caiqing, her figure is about the same, and her appearance is also good.
It seems that Jiahe Company's requirements for the front desk are quite high, and the quality is very good, but this girl's current mental state is not very good, and she looks a little haggard.
"Hello, we are from the Municipal Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and we have contacted your company before," Xiao Li took the initiative to step forward and said to the girl at the front desk.
The girl was a little fugue too empty, but she woke up when she saw someone standing in front of her.
"Ah, oh, hello, comrade policeman, Mr. Liang has said hello before, please here, I'll take you over. β
Min Xue was afraid of making any more oolong, so he specially contacted him before he came, so the girl said so.
And the general manager Liang in her mouth is a vice president in charge of research and development of the company, and it seems that the company still attaches great importance to Xi Caiqing's death, and specially sent a vice president to be responsible for this matter.
"Don't worry, your name...?" Min Xue stopped the girl and asked.
"Nancy," the girl's tone darkened.
She and Xi Caiqing must be familiar with each other, and Nancy may be sentimental because of the sudden departure of her companion. "Can I ask you a few questions first?" Min Xue asked in as gentle a tone as possible.
Nancy was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly.
"You should have a good relationship with Xi Caiqing, do you know who she usually has conflicts with in the company?" Min Xue began to start with regular questions.
Nancy shook her head, "Cai Qing is very popular, it is impossible to have conflicts with anyone, and she usually makes some small snacks for everyone to eat, and everyone likes her very much." β
This is in line with Min Xue's previous investigation, Xi Caiqing's social skills are indeed max.
But when it comes to the situation of the rental house, Min Xue has doubts about this answer.
In Xi Caiqing's rental house, she doesn't even have a lot of personal belongings, let alone cooking by herself, so where does her little snack come from?
There is no way to verify this.
Min Xue asked instead, "In addition to colleagues in the company, do you know what other friends Xi Caiqing has?"
Nancy shook her head, "Cai Qing rarely mentions her own affairs, I only know that she is working hard alone behind her family's back, and there should be a lot of psychological shadow, so I won't take the initiative to ask her about her private affairs, so as not to make her sad." β
Even the identity is fake, but can't you mention your family...
"So, does Xi Caiqing have a boyfriend, or a suitor?" Min Xue simply went straight to the point.
"Boyfriend definitely doesn't!"
This time, Nancy answered categorically, which attracted Xiao Li's sideways glance for a while, after all, the girl had always been in a soft and weak state before.
Nancy also realized that she was a little excited, and explained, "Cai Qing never mentioned it, so it definitely didn't, but... She has many suitors in the company, but Cai Qing has never promised anyone. β
Min Xue felt a little strange about Nancy's emotional ups and downs, but he didn't have a clue for a while, so he continued to ask.
"Who are the suitors, and which one is the most enthusiastic lately?"
Nancy didn't answer but asked, "Do you suspect that Cai Qing was murdered by some suitor?"
"It's just an investigation according to the process," Min Xue gave an ambiguous answer.
"It must be so, otherwise why would you ask that!" Nancy seemed to recognize this answer, and said angrily, "I said that Mr. Liang has always cared about these things, how could he suddenly take the initiative to ask to be in charge of the green harvest!"
Hey?
Min Xue's eyes lit up, "You mean to say that Mr. Liang is pursuing Xi Caiqing?"
This is not a secret in the company, recently Mr. Liang's pursuit of the offensive is very fierce, all kinds of flowers and gifts are sent every day, and the picking is annoying. Nancy confirmed the claim.
It's suspicious.
Taking the initiative to take charge of the incident, of course, can be interpreted as the death of the person being pursued, and Mr. Liang wants to do his best to help the police solve the case.
But at the same time, why can't it be interpreted in the opposite way that the murderer actively participated in order to understand the facts of the case and the progress of the police?
Contacting the flowers in the trash can of Xi Caiqing's private residence, Min Xue felt that this Mr. Liang was still worth checking.
It seems that the harvest from the girl at the front desk is not small, but the next few questions are nothing worth noting, so a few minutes later, Min Xue asked Nancy to lead the way for the two of them to Mr. Liang's office.
"Xiaoma, is Mr. Liang in the office? These two police officers have made an appointment to investigate Cai Qing's case," Nancy asked a man who was immersed in copywriting across the door from the deputy general manager's office.
Xiaoma is an ordinary employee in the R&D department, and because of his office position, people who often ask Mr. Liang come to ask him.
Seeing Nancy standing in front of the table, Pony also stood up, holding on to his glasses and replying, "Yes, yes." β
It seems that the young man is not used to talking to girls, and he looks like a dead house.
Engaged in R&D, that's a technology nerd, but fortunately, our Cao Xiaobai is not like this.
At this time, Mr. Liang heard that the police were coming, and greeted him warmly and received Min Xue.
After beckoning Min Xue and the others to take a seat, Mr. Liang said with a sigh, "To be honest, when I heard the news that Cai Qing was killed, I was so shocked that I couldn't believe it." β
"What a good little girl, dedicated to her work and enthusiastic, but if she says no, it's gone, who do you say, so ruthless!"
Mr. Liang first sighed bitterly for a long time, and finally expressed his determination, "If the police have any requirements, just say it, our whole company will do our best to cooperate!"
Mr. Liang's sadness, to be honest, is quite superficial, it seems that even if he is pursuing Xi Caiqing, it is self-evident what thoughts he is holding.
Xiao Li pursed his lips secretly, rich people are really not things.
Min Xue didn't have a superfluous expression, but asked Xi Caiqing about her work and her interpersonal situation in the company again as usual.
The news I got from Mr. Liang was basically the same as what Nancy said, and there was not much to gain.
The only difference between Mr. Liang and Nancy is probably that one is from the perspective of a leader, while the other is from the perspective of a friend.
Min Xue's question was actually not very pointed, because he came here to investigate because of an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
At the end of the transcript, after Xiao Li put away the small notebook, Min Xuecai asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Liang has been pursuing Xi Caiqing recently?"
Although Mr. Liang was slightly surprised, he did not deny it, "That's right, the police officers are very well-informed, in fact, there is nothing bad to say, although I am almost forty, but everyone has a love for beauty." β
Mr. Liang said, and showed an expression that all men understand, this attitude can be said to be very calm.
And judging from his response throughout the whole process, Min Xue did not find anything abnormal.
If Mr. Liang is really a murderer, then his acting skills are really far beyond Xiao Xianrou, and he is close to the old drama bones.
Do you really want to run for nothing?
There is no way, the investigation of the case is a process of breaking shoes and breaking legs, and sitting in the office to solve the case purely by reasoning is all hooliganism.
That being said, Min Xue didn't give up easily.
"Thank you for your cooperation, if you don't mind, we will walk around your company by ourselves?"
Truth be told, sometimes there are some things that employees know far more than leaders.
"No problem! you can investigate and try to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible!" Mr. Liang got up to see him off.
Out of the office, Min Xue found that the pony at the door was buried in the sea of copywriting again, and he almost didn't notice that the main owners had come out.
Standing up again in a panic, Xiao Ma respectfully shouted, "Mr. Liang." β
"Well, I'll send off the guests, you continue to work," Mr. Liang is very kind and tolerant, of course, for technical nerds, as long as the technology is good, it is enough.
"No, we'll just go around on our own. β
"Nacheng, I just have some things at hand," Mr. Liang exchanged pleasantries with Min Xue again before turning around and going back to the office.
Min Xue originally planned to walk around the office area and then find someone to "chat".
It's just that when he walked past the pony's desk, he suddenly looked at him.
Is that...
I saw that in the corner of the side of the pony's desktop computer, there was a bellflower blooming quietly in a glass bottle!
It turns out that you are the one who pursues Xi Caiqing?
Eternal but hopeless love, compared to Mr. Liang and bellflower, is really more suitable for the dead house that is silently watching in secret.
After all, although Xi Caiqing is just a front desk, he is exquisite, beautiful and beautiful, and he belongs to the kind of person who will shine wherever he goes in the company, and he is a dimensional distance away from the world of the dead house.
It's not hard to understand the ponies' admiration but fear of approaching.
So, what's your secret!
Min Xue stopped and stood beside the pony.
"Do you have a crush on Xi Caiqing?" Although the sentence structure was a question, Min Xue's tone was affirmative.
"Huh?" Pony panicked, "I, I didn't." β
"So, what is this?" Min Xue's eyesight was very good, and he pulled out a photo from under the cluttered desktop documents.
This is actually a photo of Xi Caiqing drinking coffee in a certain store!
The photo is hazy but full of beauty, and Xi Caiqing's side face is even more delicate against the backdrop of flowers on the table.
But no matter how aesthetically pleasing, from the angle, this photo was taken candidly!
Because the person taking the picture is not only through the window of the coffee shop, but also across the road.
God knows how long the pony waited to capture this photo before catching the gap on this section of the road where there were no people and no cars.
Seeing that his secret was discovered, Pony stood up anxiously and snatched the photo back from Min Xue's hand.
Realizing what he had done, the pony immediately withered back and anxiously explained, "I, I'm just..."
Ponies are not quick and wise, and how can they come up with a reasonable reason for a moment.
"There's nothing wrong with having a crush, but if you secretly photograph other girls, it's not authentic," Min Xue continued to pursue.
"I, I...", the poor tech nerd couldn't refute it at all.
"There must be more than one photo like this, right? How long have you been following Xi Caiqing?" Although there was a feeling of bullying children, Min Xue was still pressing forward step by step.
He knows! He knows!
A voice in the pony's head kept shouting.
Finally, the pony hung his head, "Yes... It's been almost three months..."
Yes, this means that not long after Xi Caiqing entered the company, he was targeted by this dead house.
Xi Caiqing's charm is really incomparable.
"Where's the picture?"
With the beginning, the pony's next explanation is very smooth, "It's all in the computer." β
Without waiting for Min Xue's instructions, Xiao Li had already taken over Xiaoma's computer, and sure enough, a large number of photos of Xi Caiqing's daily life were found in it.
It's a pity that Xi Caiqing didn't have the day of the accident, according to Xiaoma, because he had to work overtime that day.
Although Pony is a stalker, he is not the real culprit, which is quickly ruled out, as it is clear from company surveillance that Pony has been working overtime all night and that he is not alone.
After going around in a big circle, it still doesn't seem to have much gain, and now I can only hope to find clues from the various life photos taken by the pony.
Before leaving, Xiao Li patted the pony on the shoulder and said, "In the future, if you like it, you will boldly confess, otherwise you won't even have a chance to speak, don't you feel sorry?"
Pony hung his head and said, "It's not going to work, because... Xi Caiqing, she doesn't like men. β

Pony's words, though straightforward, have succeeded in having a shocking effect.
