Chatting about the unsolved case twenty-two years ago along the way, the two soon arrived at the landlord's residence. Because they met when they took the keys in the afternoon, the landlord did not doubt the identities of Gu Song and Luo Fan, he just didn't quite understand the purpose of the two people's late-night visit.

Seeing the landlord's vigilant and puzzled eyes, Gu Song said apologetically: "I'm sorry to disturb, I want to confirm with you about the situation." ”

"What's the matter?" The landlord asked in a stiff tone, showing his dissatisfaction.

"Hmm......" Gu Song looked to the left and right, smiled slightly and said, "Let's go in and talk, there are some words that the neighbors hear, and they may not have a good impact on you." ”

The landlord frowned, and his face became even more ugly. He reluctantly opened the door and made way for Gu Song and Luo Fan to enter the house. Gu Song walked straight to the living room inside, while Luo Fan stood at the entrance and asked the landlord if he could take a casual look. The landlord nodded, ignored Luo Fan, walked into the living room and said to Gu Song, "What is the matter with you?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask you about Jiang Peiyao's situation."

"Then you're looking for the wrong person." The landlord spread his hands helplessly, showing an attitude of not caring about himself. "Now the rent payment is all online transfers, I have nothing to do with her, and I almost don't know anything about her."

"Do you know what she does?"

"It seems to be an online female anchor, and I mentioned it when I signed the rental contract."

"Do you like to watch live streams?"

"Look at it once in a while, it's not very interesting, what's wrong?"

"Have you watched Jiang Peiyao's live broadcast?"

"I haven't seen it, she's not an Internet celebrity, is she worthy of my special attention?"

"yes, I thought you were a big fan of hers, it seems like I made a mistake." Gu Song said regretfully.

The landlord looked puzzled, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because ......" Gu Song paused and smiled meaningfully, "Aren't you looking at her every day?" I thought you didn't think the scale of the online live broadcast was big enough, so you opened a small stove for yourself and watched the 'reality show' performance directly, how exciting it was, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Need I explain?"

"Of course you do!" The landlord said with a grim face.

Gu Song didn't reply, but turned his head to look at Luo Fan, who was at the entrance to confirm something. After a few moments of waiting, Luo Fan finally found something like that. He straightened up, made an "OK" gesture at Gu Song, and slowly walked towards them.

"I'll tell you." Luo Fan held a pair of gray casual shoes he found on the shoe rack at the entrance, and said to the landlord with a serious expression: "After the police left this afternoon, you went to Jiang Peiyao's house and wore these shoes. It's useless if you want to deny it, because you were neither wearing shoe covers nor gloves at the time, and there were a lot of clear fingerprints left in the room. Note that fresh fingerprints only appeared after the police had completed their investigation of the scene. Whether those fingerprints are yours or not, I can confirm with the naked eye now. As far as I can tell, you have installed a total of four pinhole cameras in Jiang Peiyao's house, two in the bedroom, one in the bathroom, and one in the living room. You're afraid that the police will find out about your clandestine photography, so you went out of your way to recycle these things today, am I right? ”

"You ......" the landlord's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What, what else do you want to explain?"

"I ......"

"Listen to me give you an analysis of the current situation." Luo Fan didn't give the landlord room to interject, and continued to take care of himself, "We are from the Serious Crime Team of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Municipal Bureau, and we are generally only responsible for investigating those big and important cases of a bad nature. If it's just because you're peeping into someone's privacy, we won't come to you.

"The current situation is like this, Jiang Peiyao has been missing for more than a month, and we suspect that she has been abused by bad people. You're her landlord, you have a spare key to her house, and you're watching her every move, and you should have noticed that her whereabouts are unknown. But you didn't call the police and lied that you didn't know anything about her. From our police point of view, your behavior is very suspicious. We have reason to suspect that Jiang Peiyao's disappearance has something to do with you. I'll give you two options now: first, make it clear here; Second, follow us back to the criminal police team for investigation. Do you like to chat in your living room, or do you want to go to the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau for tea? ”

After Luo Fan finished speaking, he looked at the landlord with a slightly provocative gaze, and the latter's face was as ugly as eating a fly. Gu Song thought to himself: Luo Fan is too good at fooling, he really deserves to write a novel.

After a few seconds of silence, the landlord shook his head depressedly and said dejectedly: "Comrade policeman, I admit that I secretly installed a camera in her house, and I also know that she hasn't been home for a while, but I really don't know that something happened to her. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that she hasn't been home for more than a month?" Gu Song asked.

"Maybe she's back home, maybe she's traveling, maybe she's going to a friend."

"Don't you have to bring luggage when you go out?"

"Well, maybe she has other plans?"

"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you." Gu Song knew that the landlord was just trying to find an excuse to shirk responsibility, after all, he found out that Jiang Peiyao's disappearance was through candid photography, and it was unlikely that he would take the initiative to explain the situation to the police. "You show us those videos you secretly took."

"Do you want them all?"

"Yes, all."

"But a lot of useless videos have been deleted by me."

"Useless?" Luo Fan frowned, not understanding what the landlord meant.

"He's probably referring to the videos that don't have a look." Gu Song said sneeringly.

The landlord realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned red. He silently took out his laptop, opened a hidden folder, and said cautiously, "Officer Gu, all the videos are here." I put up the camera just to peek at the girl taking a shower and what she was doing with the guests...... I, I really didn't care about her, her disappearance had nothing to do with me. I ......"

"Let's not talk about that." Gu Song waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to hear the landlord's argument at all. "When was Jiang Peiyao last seen in the surveillance?"

"I remember it was ......," the landlord said, clicking on a video and dragging the progress bar to the end, "it was 20:47 on October 15th, and she went out and never came back." The next evening, two girls who claimed to be her colleagues contacted me through some means, saying that Jiang Peiyao was not working on time and wanted to go to her house to see what was going on. It just so happened that I had nothing to do at that time, so I accompanied them to the house to have a look. ”

"Yo, don't you know a lot, why don't you say you don't know Jiang Peiyao." Gu Song teased the landlord while watching the video. The latter scratched his head in embarrassment, staring at the computer screen and no longer speaking.

Gu Song pulled the progress bar back a paragraph, wanting to see what Jiang Peiyao had done before leaving home. The picture played quickly, and Gu Song and Luo Fan watched it very seriously.

Suddenly, Gu Song pressed the pause button, turned his head to Luo Fan and said, "At 20:16, she answered a call. ”

"Hmm." Luo Fan nodded knowingly, he knew that this was Jiang Peiyao's last call record, and the caller was using a calling card without real-name registration, and his identity could not be ascertained. This person is most likely the suspect they are looking for.

It's a pity that although the video taken secretly by the landlord is very clear, there is no sound, and the shooting angle at this time just can't see Jiang Peiyao's mouth, and it is impossible to judge what she said according to the shape of her mouth. After answering the call, Jiang Peiyao dressed up a little and went out of the house, looking like she was going to meet someone.

"If only I could hear what she said." Gu Song frowned dissatisfied, as if he was complaining about the landlord's poor equipment.

Luo Fan asked the landlord, "Where were you on the night of the 15th?" What are you doing? ”

"Me?" The landlord was stunned for a moment, then realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained, "I didn't make this call, I didn't see her at all that day." ”

"Can you prove your innocence?"

"Yes. I went early in the morning on the 15th to help my friend prepare for the wedding and didn't come back until the afternoon of the next day. Many people can testify for me. ”

"Does it take that long to attend a wedding?"

"My friend is out of town, I stayed for a day before coming back, if you don't believe me, you can go investigate." The landlord replied with a straight face.

Luo Fan wrote down the contact information of several landlord friends, and then said to Gu Song: "Take the video back and watch it slowly, I think there may be some clues here." ”

The video file size is large, and it takes a while to copy it all. Gu Song didn't have the patience to wait here, so he picked up his laptop and said to the landlord: "We'll take this back first, and I'll return it to you when it's used up." ”

How's that going to work...... Before the landlord's protest could be spoken, he was frightened back by Gu Song's sharp gaze. The look in his eyes was clearly threatening, as if to say: If you have any grievances, tell us back to the criminal police.
