"Tao ...... Tao Tao Vice Team! ”

As soon as Tao Ran turned around, he saw Xiao Haiyang, the little glasses of the sub-bureau who was very good, rushing towards him.

Xiao Haiyang's glasses were broken yesterday, and he didn't bother to go up and get a new one, and fell crookedly under his cheekbones, he stood still in front of Tao Ran breathlessly, and gasped for a few breaths with an unusually grim expression, seeing Tao Ran feel a little tight.

Xiao Haiyang's face was tense as if he had just finished a facelift, wiped the sweat in his palms on his pants, and straightened his glasses. Then he cleared his throat and took out a mobile phone memo from his pocket: "Deputy Tao, I have a situation I want to report to you." ”

Tao Ran waited for him to pant evenly: "Don't worry, you have something to say slowly." ”

"That's right, when I visited the West End yesterday, I found that they live in a very mixed area, with strong mobility and seasonality, and it is common for tenants to change jobs and move out, not so much to live in boarding houses, but actually more like a medium and long-term small hostel with poor conditions. Therefore, the relationship between people is not very close, unless it is a fellow villager who takes care of each other, yesterday colleagues were busy for a day, and there is not much useful information. ”

Tao Ran nodded at him with a little encouragement: "Hmm." ”

"But among the people who live with He Zhongyi, there is one from a province with him, this person is called ......" Xiao Haiyang flipped through the memo, "His name is Zhao Yulong, and he has a good relationship with the deceased, and it is said that He Zhongyi's job as a delivery man was introduced by him." Ma Xiaowei said that he had something to do in the past two days and went back to his hometown. ”

Tao Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise, he just wanted to contact this person.

Xiao Haiyang: "I found the person in charge of the distribution point of the coffee chain last night, and asked for the contact information of this Zhao Yulong, after he heard about it, he promised to take the last long-distance bus last night to return to Yancheng urgently, and I made an appointment with him to see him today." ”

Tao Ran looked at him thoughtfully: "I thought that the focus of the investigation of the sub-bureau now is on Ma Xiaowei. ”

Xiao Haiyang's face tightened even tighter, and he subconsciously pulled the hem of his shirt: "I...... I always feel that the mysterious person who gave the deceased's mobile phone is a bit of a problem, and now I believe that Ma Xiaowei is the murderer, and there are still many doubts...... I also told our captain about the situation...... He told me not to be self-righteous all the time and to find something to do. ”

When Tao Ran heard this, his face sank, and his gentle smile disappeared: "What time did you make an appointment?" ”

"Oh," Xiao Haiyang looked at his watch, "if the long-distance train is not late, it will be an hour later." ”

Tao Ran immediately decided: "I'll go with you, go!" ”

When the grassroots criminal police officers were walking the streets and alleys under the sun, Fei Ye was leaning on the soft leather swivel chair in his office.

He pressed a finger to his forehead, and on the laptop screen of the desk next to him was He Zhongyi's brief and lackluster life. Fei Du dug out a contact information from the address book and called.

"Hey, Brother Chang, it's me," Fei Du listened to what was said on the other end of the phone, bowed his head and smiled, "Well, I'm sorry to say it, I do have something I want to ask you for help." ”

In less than half an hour, Fei Du got what he wanted—the record of all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity on the night of the opening of the Chengguang Mansion.

During the lunch break, Fei Du warmed a can of sweet milk in the microwave oven in the pantry, praised the figure of the secretary, told her to eat well, stop losing weight, and then locked the door of his office, put on headphones, looped the song in his car, and pulled out an A4 paper.

He used an abstract drawing method that only he could understand to draw a simple topographic map on the paper, then turned the pen, thought for a moment, gently ticked a few circles on it, and wrote "20:00-21:30", and then, after a pause, he changed "20:00" to "20:30".

Fei Du picked out a few from a large pile of surveillance records, put them together, chose the time period from half past eight to half past nine, and watched them with fast forward.

Several sets of images flashed back at the same time, and he leaned back in his chair very lazily, and all the energy of his body seemed to be concentrated in his eyes, staring at the screen motionlessly.

At this time, Luo Wenzhou was holding a briefcase and wearing his sunglasses, strolling around a transportation hub in Huacheng City, waving to the taxis passing by on the road from time to time, but unfortunately none of the cars that ran past were empty. Seeing this, a series of black taxi drivers parked on the side of the road, a specialty of the flower city, collectively sent him an invitation.

"Is the handsome guy in the car?"

"Handsome guy, where are you going?"

"Cheap, faster than a taxi!"

Luo Wenzhou selectively inspected the army of black cars, and finally stopped in front of a young man with a flat head.

The young man was very obedient, and immediately opened the car door for him: "You get in the car, where are you going?" ”

Luo Wenzhou didn't say a word, and sat sideways.

The flat-headed young man turned on the air conditioner for him, and drove the car out of the convoy smoothly: "Handsome guy, you haven't said where you're going?" ”

"Just go ahead." Luo Wenzhou took off his sunglasses, and glanced at the driver through the rearview mirror with sharp eyes, and the driver was stunned for a moment, inexplicably a little uneasy.

"I have an anonymous report here," after walking for a while, Luo Wenzhou opened the briefcase unhurriedly, took out a copy, flipped through it casually, the driver's face immediately changed, and he almost collided with a car next to him, and was hit by a long whistle, Luo Wenzhou's expression did not move, "I'm not from your sub-bureau, don't panic, and then drive forward, and ask you a few words." ”

Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang met He Zhongyi's fellow villager Zhao Yulong, and the three of them went to a small noodle restaurant together.

Zhao Yulong is middle-aged and has worked hard in Yancheng for many years, although it is still difficult to gain a foothold, but compared to the young people who run into walls everywhere, he looks much more decent. With the tiredness of sitting in a long-distance bus for more than ten hours, the man blinked vigorously a few times, and the wide-brimmed bags under his eyes were shaky: "I really didn't expect him to have an accident - officer, can I smoke a cigarette?" ”

No one in the small noodle restaurant has implemented the anti-smoking regulations, and there are old men spitting clouds and fog everywhere, Zhao Yunlong took two puffs and rubbed his face: "Zhongyi is a child of rules, many people go to the billiards hall chess and card room when they are idle, he never goes, he goes to work to save money, saying that he wants to take it home to his mother to see a doctor, he doesn't steal, he doesn't rob, he doesn't gamble, and he doesn't cause trouble, why is it that he has an accident - what do you two want to ask, as long as I know, I will definitely not hide it." ”

Tao Ran looked at Zhao Yulong and found that although he used his right hand to use chopsticks for eating, the hand holding the cigarette and the direction of the teacup handle were all on the left - in the old days, parents were afraid that their children would "fight" when eating at the table, so they would forcibly "correct" left-handedness, which was common.

Tao Ran took out a photo from his wallet, and it was the pair of shoes worn by the deceased's feet: "I want to ask, did you lend these shoes to He Zhongyi?" ”

Zhao Yulong looked down, his eyes were almost red, and he nodded reluctantly: "It's mine, he'...... Did he walk in these shoes? ”

"Yes, these shoes are very important," Tao Ran said, "do you know why he borrowed them?" ”

Zhao Yulong was a little dazed, and thought for a while: "I said that I was going to a very high-level place to meet people, and I called ...... What is it called...... Chengguang Mansion or Villa? ”

Xiao Haiyang sat up straight suddenly: "Chengguang Mansion!" ”

"Yes," Zhao Yulong said, "that's the name." ”

"To whom are you going? What's up? ”

Zhao Yulong shook his head: "I didn't say it, I asked, that kid has a very correct idea and a strict mouth." ”

Xiao Haiyang hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhao, He Zhongyi has a new mobile phone, right?" ”

"Ah, there is one," Zhao Yulong said, "that white one, right?" He is usually reluctant to use it, so he still uses the old one, and sometimes the new mobile phone is taken out to see, and the film is pasted several layers first. ”

Xiao Haiyang: "Then do you know who gave the phone?" ”

Zhao Yulong frowned slowly.

Tao Ran asked, "What?" ”

"At the beginning of his remarks, I thought it was strange at the time, because I had never heard him mention any local acquaintances before, and I was afraid that he would meet some bad people if he lacked heart and lungs. Buying you such an expensive thing for no reason, isn't this nothing to be courteous? Zhao Yulong flicked the cigarette ash, "I chased him relentlessly and asked, he told me that one day when he was delivering the goods, there was a little conflict with someone, and he was beaten a few times, but he didn't fight back, and then I didn't know if he regretted it or what, and apologized to him." ”

Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang glanced at each other—they had never heard of this situation when they visited before.

What is there to hide when you have a conflict with someone and then the other party apologizes?

If it is true, why is He Zhongyi vague and pretending to be sent by an acquaintance?

He Zhongyi lived with so many people, and no one could see that he was beaten, which shows that the physical conflict was not strict at that time, so why did the other party "apologize" and send valuables at the same time?

Suddenly, this murder case, which seemed to be able to find out the murderer by checking the personal relationship of the deceased, became inexplicably confusing.

Zhao Yulong didn't know the exact origin of the mysterious mobile phone, but provided an approximate time when the conflict occurred, Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang had to follow this clue and find the delivery company where He Zhongyi worked, searching for clues.

In the afternoon, the originally clear sky changed its face without warning, the arrogant sun was surrounded by dark clouds from nowhere, and the oppressive wind brought moisture, and it seemed that there was going to be a sudden shower.

Luo Wenzhou got off the train near a subway entrance, but did not leave, he stretched out his hand and pressed the door, glanced around, and a bread that was originally parked at the intersection suddenly moved when his eyes swept by, and slowly drove away as if he was a thief.

Luo Wenzhou bent down slightly, through the half-open window, attached to the driver's ear: "Someone is staring at you, be careful, if there is any situation, feel free to find me." ”

The black car driver was blowing the cold air conditioner, still sweating, and nodded quickly.

Luo Wenzhou took a deep look at him, turned around and walked towards the subway station, and just after the security check, his mobile phone rang.

"Tao Ran, how's it going?" He swiped his card to enter the pit station as he spoke, and then his footsteps suddenly stopped, "What? You repeat the name again. ”

There was no other window in Fei Du's office with a "snap", and the wind blew it shut, and a few pieces of paper fell to the ground, and at this time, his hand holding the mouse suddenly moved.

Fei Du froze one of the surveillance images, zoomed in and flipped back, and found that the time was about 8:50 p.m.

It was a very peripheral camera, almost not within the scope of the Chengguang Mansion, and it was a gravel path.

Because of its proximity to the water system, mosquitoes were still plentiful, even in early summer, and few people passed by after dark, and even the occasional person was hurried - and a hesitant shadow lingered for a long time under the lamp.

From the camera, you can only see that the person is wearing a rough and uncoordinated formal suit, not tall, a little thin, standing in place, smoking several cigarettes in a row. He held a brown paper bag tightly in his hand, looked up in one direction from time to time for a moment, and after a while, he seemed to have received a phone call, said a few words to the person on the phone, and then hurriedly walked out of the camera.

Fei Du watched the video several times, unsure if it was the deceased he had a relationship with, he grabbed the car keys, closed the computer and went out.

Forty minutes later, Fei Du came to the central business district of Huacheng District.

He glanced up at the increasingly gloomy sky, fished out an umbrella from the trunk of the car, and walked to the landscape area near the Chengguang Mansion.

Fei Du had an excellent sense of direction, and almost no detours were taken to find the location of the surveillance camera.

The moisture in the air was already so thick that it was about to be low, he carefully observed the position of the surveillance, recalled the direction that the person in the camera had been looking, and turned around - at the end of the path, he could just see the shadowy Chengguang Mansion.

Fei Du's eyes fell on the trash can next to him—on the cigarette extinguishing stone, and a few cigarette butts lay alone.

The place was deserted, the garbage cans were clean, almost no one threw anything into them, and the cleaners only came to clean them once every ten days and a half months, and Fei Du took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and carefully pinched the cigarette butts.

At this time, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Fei Du wrapped the cigarette butt unhurriedly, then took out his mobile phone, and when he looked at the caller ID, he smiled before he could say anything: "Why, have you suddenly missed me for a day?" ”

Tao Ran's voice was quite stern: "The night before yesterday, were you in the Chengguang Mansion?" ”

"Yes," Fei Du paused, "what's wrong?" ”

"With a guy named Zhang Donglai?"

Fei Du was stunned for a moment, and before he could reply, a thunderbolt sounded on the ground, and the heavy rain poured down.
