"In the second half of 1986, a man named Zhao Mingtao used to live at No. 157, he was the driver of the material school, do you have any impression of this person?"

"I have the impression that the person surnamed Zhao has also repaired my shoes here? I only needed two dollars, but he gave me five dollars and told me not to look for them. ”

"We heard that Zhao Mingtao has to come to the 'guest frequent' every day to take a bath."

"Yes, he comes here every night for an hour."

"Is he alone every time he takes a shower?"

"It's usually one person, sometimes it's two people - that person is much older than Zhao Mingtao."

"How old is that guy?"

"The look of a man in his fifties."

The age of the deceased was between 56 and 58 years old, isn't this age group a person in his fifties?

"The two of them came and soaked for several days." Master Jiang recalled.

"Do you think this man in his fifties lives at number 157, or does he come to him at night?"

"It was after dark that he was looking for him—it must have been about half past seven!"

"So, after taking a bath, did this person follow Zhao Mingtao into the 'Impermanence Lane', or did he break up with Zhao Mingtao?"

"After taking a bath, they entered the 'Alley of Impermanence' together."

"How tall is this person?"

"About as tall as me." Master Jiang stood up and stretched his waist, "It seems that this person is relatively rich." ”

Master Jiang's height is about 1.71 meters.

The height of the deceased was also one meter seventy-one.

"This person is richer, how do you see it?"

"Wear, his dress is different from others, a single pair of shoes is worth a lot of money, I dare not say anything else, as long as it is shoes, I can see at a glance what grade of cowhide it is made of; Every time this person enters the 'Impermanence Lane', he has to go to the Chen family's braised vegetable shop to buy pig's head meat, salted duck and peanuts, and a bottle of wine is indispensable - wine is not ordinary wine. ”

"What wine?"

"Luzhou Laojiao."

"Captain Zhao, Chen's braised vegetable shop is Chen Hongxia's braised vegetable shop." Director Gu said.

When Zhao Zimeng was about to end the conversation, Master Jiang suddenly said: "The relationship between these two people is extraordinary!" Master Jiang had something to say.

"The relationship is extraordinary? What do you mean by that? ”

"I can't say it."

"Tell me what you think in your heart, say it."

"I've only seen a man chirping between a man and a woman in my life, but I've never seen a man chirping between two men. I can't say it, you go and ask Master Cao. He might be able to make it clear. The bathhouse opens at half-past eleven, so you can come around eleven. ”

"I know where Lao Cao's family lives? Let's go to his house. Director Gu said.

After bidding farewell to Master Jiang, the group walked towards the east end of the street.

Twenty minutes later, two gates appeared in front of me, and a wooden sign was hung on the doorpost, which read "Seongnam Warehouse".

The two doors were closed, and only one small door was opened.

Director Gu walked into the small door.

"Who are you looking for?" Out of the gatehouse came a middle-aged man about thirty years old, he didn't know Director Gu.

"I'm from the police station, and we're looking for Master Cao, who is a 'frequent visitor'."

Zhao Zimeng and the others followed Director Gu into the small door.

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhao Zimeng, and then said, "Do you know which row Master Cao lives in?" ”

"All we know is that he lives in here."

"I'll lead you."

The middle-aged man walked in front, and everyone followed.

Bypassing five or six rows of tall warehouses, behind them is the dormitory area, which is separated by a high wall.

There are some large trucks parked in the warehouse, and some workers are loading cardboard boxes into the cars.

After the middle-aged man walked into the two large iron gates, he shouted loudly: "Master Cao—Master Cao." ”

"Hey, who?"

"Master Cao, someone is looking for you."

The middle-aged man walked to the front of a row of dormitories and stopped.

A door opened, and a man about fifty years old walked out of it, and when he walked out of the door, he saw Director Gu: "Director Gu, how did you find here?" ”

"Master Cao, we have something to do with you."

There was a row of pools in front of the dormitory for washing, and everyone chatted against the pool.

"Master Cao, five years ago, did Zhao Mingtao, who lived in the 'Impermanence Lane', often come to the 'Ke Changlai' to take a bath?"

"yes. He came to bathe every day, and it was because he came every day that he was very impressed - the most frequent people in this area were at most once every other day. Xiao Zhao comes every day. ”

"I heard that he once went to the 'guest house' bath with a man in his fifties."

"Yes! I've been here for days. ”

"Is the relationship between the two of them abnormal?"

"yes—how do you know?"

"Master Cao, please tell us about it."

"The two of them rub each other's backs, knock each other's backs, massage each other, never let the master do it, the cigarettes they smoke, including the tea and snacks they want, are the best, rubbing their backs, knocking on their backs and massages don't cost a few dollars, I don't think they are reluctant to spend money, especially the man in his fifties. He tossed us at least a few cigarettes every time he came. By the way, the cigarettes he smokes are all soft Chinese. ”

"What do they call each other?"

"They never call each other, and there are endless things to say together, but no one can hear what they are saying - eyebrows, so it's not speculative!."

Most of the eyebrows are used on men and women, and men and men "eyebrows and eyes", this is probably the "chirp crooked" in Master Jiang's mouth!

"Please remember again, when they came to take a bath together, was it not long after Zhao Mingtao moved into 'Impermanence Lane', or before Zhao Mingtao was about to move out?"

Everyone should remember that during Zhao Mingtao's entry into No. 157, there was a period of time when Zhao Mingtao lived alone: when Zhao Mingtao first moved in, the two east wings had not been rented out, and the surname Ma was before Zhao Mingtao rented No. 1587 in Zhao Mingtao.

"I remember that the two of them came to take a bath together not long after Zhao Mingtao moved into the 'Impermanence Lane', and then only Zhao Mingtao came to take a bath alone."

"Do you know this person?"

"I've never seen this person before."

At about half past nine, a police car drove into the gate of the material school. The material school is on Daqiao South Road, and when the car drives into the school gate, the school is in class.

Xiang Daimo parked his car in the square inside the school gate.

Zhao Zimeng jumped out of the car and walked to the communication room.

An old man over half a hundred years old walked out of the communication room.

"Excuse me, comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Master, let's find Zhao Mingtao." Linghu Yunfei handed the master a cigarette.

"Zhao Mingtao is in the trolley class."

"Master, isn't the scale of your school small?"

"Yes! In the whole Jiangsu Province, we are the only material school, and our school also recruits students from other provinces. ”

"Master, how long have you been working here?" Zhao Zimeng intended to talk to the doorman.

"It's been more than twenty years."

"Twenty years, then you must be very familiar with the faculty and staff in the school."

"Do you want to inquire about Zhao Mingtao's situation?" The old man's sense of smell is still very sensitive.

"Yes, can you tell us about it?"

"Zhao Mingtao has driven a car for the principal for more than ten years, and he has nothing to say about his work. He is usually quiet - he doesn't like to talk, he is very warm to people, and no matter who encounters difficulties, he will reach out to help. If there is anything wrong with it, it is that he has not been married until now, how can no woman look up to such a good person? ”

"Is it because others don't look down on him, or is he unwilling to talk?"

"Why don't you want to talk, no matter who introduces him to someone, he doesn't refuse, but I don't know what's wrong, I just can't look at it."

According to the age given by Che Huating, Zhao Mingtao is now forty years old.

Under the guidance of the doorman, Zhao Zimeng and his entourage found the car class.

The car was at the back of a building, with two large iron gates hidden inside, and five cars and two Ivecos parked inside.

There is a row of houses on the east and west sides of the parking lot, one row is for car repairs, and the other row is for offices.

Director Gu walked to the door of an office, there were four men inside, they were playing cards, and one of them was Zhao Mingtao.

As soon as Zhao Mingtao saw Director Gu and Zhao Zimeng, he suddenly stood up from the chair, he was holding a large number of playing cards in his hand, probably because there were too many cards, and two cards fell from his fingers - one card fell on the table, and one card fell to the ground.

Zhao Mingtao hurriedly picked up a card from the table and picked up another card from the ground.

"Who are you looking for?" A man in his fifties said, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"They're coming for me." Zhao Mingtao threw the playing cards in his hand on the desk.

"Is it convenient for a conversation here?"

"Convenient—convenient." The man, who was about fifty, said as he motioned for the other three to exit the office.

Zhao Mingtao beckoned everyone to sit down, and at the same time took out a pack of soft China from the drawer of a desk, and after watching a few people wave their hands, he lit a cigarette and smoked it. The office was filled with smoke, and Zhao Mingtao opened the window again, and at the same time extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

"Zhao Mingtao, don't be busy, you sit down."

Zhao Mingtao sat down at his desk.

"Zhao Mingtao, do you have anything to tell us?"

"I-I don't know what you're trying me to say?"

"Don't you really have any impression of the pile of bricks in Yard 157?"

"I- I really don't have the slightest impression, I live at number 157, which means a good night's sleep, I don't have time to pay attention to a pile of bricks in the yard, and I don't need to pay attention to those things."

"In addition to sleeping on 157, you might be carrying some things to 157!"

"Moving something to 157? I haven't carried anything! ”

"Think about it again."

"I really haven't moved anything to 157!"

"Some things are better for you to say it yourself."

"Captain Zhao, if not, you can give me a heads-up."
