Chapter 61: The Disappearing Female Anchor
When Xia Shi figured out Jiang Xinyue's situation, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening. He was faced with a thorny problem: Jiang Xinyue was helpless in R City, her money was stolen on the way to catch a car, and she had nowhere to go, how to solve the next food and accommodation?
Xia Shi thought about taking her back to his apartment first, but it was really inconvenient for an underage girl to live with a single man like him. Besides, he was very busy with work every day, and he didn't have time to take care of Jiang Xinyue at all.
After thinking for a while, Xia Shi thought that someone could help him, so he dialed the other party's phone.
The next morning, Huo Yan sent Jiang Xinyue to the criminal police team on time. Xia Shi arranged for his subordinates to take Jiang Xinyue to collect DNA, and by the way, compared with the victim of the cremation case to see if the victim was Jiang Xinyue's sister, Jiang Peiyao.
"Not that coincidental, right?" While waiting for Jiang Xinyue in the office, Huo Yan asked Xia Shi suspiciously.
"Give it a try." Xia Shi shrugged his shoulders and replied uncertainly, "Xinyue's sister has been missing for about a month, and her age is just right. ”
"I hope not, or the girl would be too pitiful."
"I hope not, but even if it weren't for her, there would always be people who would have heartache for this case. No one can stand their relatives being mutilated like that by the murderer. ”
"Hmm......" Huo Yan frowned thoughtfully, although she hadn't seen the scene and the autopsy photos yet, she could completely imagine in her mind how a young girl was brutally murdered by the murderer.
"I'm going to trouble you for the last few days." After a while, Xia Shi interrupted Huo Yan's gradually drifting thoughts, "Xinyue may have to live in your house for a while, and it is inconvenient for me to take care of her." ”
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about life. Hello people do it to the end, find out the results as soon as possible, and give the kid an explanation. ”
"Yes, no matter how busy I am, I have to find time to investigate her sister's affairs." Speaking of this, Xia Shi suddenly remembered something. He took out a sticky note from the pocket of his windbreaker, looked at the address on it and said to Huo Yan, "You wait here for Xinyue to come back, I'm going to go to the place where her sister used to live to see the situation." ”
Half an hour later, Xia Shi came to the Dongfang Community and found the house where Jiang Peiyao once lived. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but he didn't hear anyone answer inside, but a puzzled voice came from behind him, "Young man, who are you looking for?" ”
Xia Shi turned around and saw an old woman in her sixties walking towards him with two full shopping bags. He showed his ID, and then took out a recent photo of Jiang Peiyao from his mobile phone and showed it to the old woman, "Auntie, do you know this girl?" Stayed here before. ”
The old woman put the heavy shopping bag on the ground, looked carefully at the girl in the photo, and suddenly frowned, and an unhappy expression appeared on her face. "Yes, she used to live here, but then I kicked her out."
"Driven away?" Xia Shi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said, "It turns out that you are the landlord." Auntie, I have a very important matter for this girl, can you tell me about her situation? ”
"That girl must have committed a crime, right?" The old woman said assumedly, and let out a cold snort from her nose. She took out the key and said to Xia Shi as she opened the door, "Come in with me, don't stand at the door." ”
"Okay, that's for your trouble." Xia Shi said politely and helped the old woman carry the shopping bag into the living room.
He glanced at the decoration and layout of the house, and said to the old woman quite exaggeratedly: "Auntie, your house is really well decorated, especially trendy and fashionable. ”
"Really?" The old woman laughed twice, "This house was originally bought for my daughter, but she ran away and didn't come back. I saw that the house was empty, so I rented it out for a while. ”
"Then why didn't you rent it later?"
"When I encounter unreliable tenants, I don't dare to rent the house to others casually."
"Are you talking about the girl in the picture?"
"Well, it's not her." The old woman sighed and complained to Xia Shi, "At first, I saw that the girl was beautiful and neatly dressed, and I thought I had found a reliable tenant. Who knew that the girl was not serious, and always brought some indiscreet men to the house, which made my house a miasma. I'd rather not earn the three thousand dollars in rent than rent it to her. ”
"How do you know she often brings men into the house?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." The old woman said and pointed to the house next door, "My wife and I live next to it, and we know very well what is going on with her." ”
"I see." Xia Shi understood the old woman's mood very well, said a few words of comfort, and then asked, "Auntie, do you remember when she moved out of here?" ”
"It seems to be August last year, but I can't remember exactly when."
"Do you still have her contact information?"
"I had a mobile phone number saved at the time, and I don't know if I deleted it......" The old woman said as she looked through the phone's address book, "Oh, this is it." She handed her phone to Xia Shi.
Xia Shi glanced at it, this was the same number that Jiang Xinyue gave him, and it was turned off a few weeks ago. "Do you know what she does? Where to work? Xia Shi continued to ask.
"She doesn't have to go out to work, she can make money at home, and she seems to be making a lot of money."
"Oh, that's?" Xia Shi almost thought about it in that direction, but the old woman explained: "Don't you young people like online live broadcasts very much, that girl does live broadcasts at home every day, and it seems that she earns more than those who go to work." ”
"Do you know what platform she's live on?"
"I don't know, I haven't inquired carefully, and I don't understand anyway." The old woman paused for a moment, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened to that girl?" Are you here to get her? ”
"No, it's not." Xia Shi waved his hand and explained with a smile, "I just want to ask her about the situation." If there's anything you can remember later, don't forget to contact me. ”
Leaving the old woman's house, Xia Shi called his colleagues and asked them to help investigate which platform Jiang Peiyao was doing live broadcasts on, to see if her account was still in use and whether there was any abnormality in the near future. In addition, Xia Shi also needs to confirm whether Jiang Peiyao is in the list of missing persons recently. If the girl had been missing for a month or so, someone close to her would have called the police.
