Chapter 6 The truth is often in a moment
It was the middle of the summer, and even though it was close to five o'clock, she felt like she was going to be heated up the moment she stepped out of the building. Although I was wearing a vest with little material, I wanted to be naked at the moment.
She squinted slightly, searching for the car in the harsh sunlight. The police car she thought was parked there was replaced by an army green camouflage jeep. After a moment's hesitation, as if vaguely seeing the occupants of the car watching her, she trotted towards the jeep, which was illuminated by the sun and reflected the dazzling light.
As soon as she got in the car, Qiao Qianwen was refreshed by the cool air that was already full of the car. While wearing a seat belt, he glanced at a man wearing sunglasses, a white crewneck and close-fitting short sleeves, and gray plaid over-the-knee shorts.
Xing Yi, who wears casual clothes, makes people feel even more approachable and handsome.
"Let's go."
As soon as Qiao Qianwen buckled her seat belt, Xing Yi stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out at high speed.
The car drove from the downtown area to the east of the city. The scenery outside the car window became more and more desolate, and at a turn, they drove onto an avenue, and the fields on both sides were lined with verdant rice crops.
The speed slowed as it drove near a deserted town street, and finally stopped in front of a barber shop with blue glass doors.
There is a white sign in front of the store with the name of the store written crookedly.
This kind of place is not a serious place at first glance. Qiao Qianwen pushed her sunglasses above her head and followed Xing Yi into the storefront.
That is, there are two barber chairs and two mirrors in a square place, and the only sofa is where two young women with heavy makeup are sitting on the sofa.
"Yo, are you two here to wash your hair?" The middle-aged woman's gaze behind the counter instantly caught Xing Yi's body, "This handsome guy, we have a good service here." ”
The two young women sat down in an instant and carefully sorted out their makeup, and the women's eyes were shining, looking at Xing Yi, like wolves who hadn't eaten meat for several days.
Qiao Qianwen wanted to laugh in her heart. He was regarded as being raped by several women in turn.....
Xing Yi just frowned slightly, and took out a single photo to block it in front of her, "This person, do you know each other?"
The middle-aged proprietress took a closer look, first startled, and then put on a look of seeing off the guest: "I don't know her, if it's not here to wash her hair, let's leave quickly, don't disturb my business." ”
"Boss, we are the police of the Criminal Investigation Bureau." Qiao Qianwen threatened in a cold voice, "If you don't want to close the door, please cooperate with the investigation." ”
"Ouch," the proprietress smiled with a smile on her eyes, "We are doing serious business, and you don't have to deal with the river water, and your criminal investigation police are full of food, are you threatening us?" ”
"Serious business?" Qiao Qianwen sneered. This proprietress really made it clear that she was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
"I've seen a lot of police like you, and I say I'm not serious, haven't all the old ladies come over for so many years. If you lie without evidence, do you believe that I will sue you? ”
"Proof?" Xing Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Isn't the evidence the account book in front of you?" ”
The proprietress laughed, "Oh handsome guy, don't talk about it!" I'm innocent in this account! ”
"The ledger on your desk is naturally innocent."
Qiao Qianwen looked puzzled, saw him turn around and walked to the bookshelf, glanced at the books on the third shelf, accurately pulled out one of the cardboard covers of "Water Margin", and took out another small white book from it. The movements are familiar, as if this is his.
"But this is not innocent." He laughed.
"It's... It's...."The proprietress turned blue.
"If it weren't for the fact that I made the wrong account book and your eyes betrayed you again, I'm afraid we would indeed be leaving." Xing Yi put the small white ledger on the counter, although there was a smile on his face, there was a cold color that could not be hidden.
The proprietress hurriedly put the account book on the counter into the drawer, and immediately put on a flattering face: "Two police officers, I, I didn't look at the photo just now, you can show it to me again." ”
Qiao Qianwen took the photo and handed it to her.
The proprietress smiled and took a closer look at the photo, and then said,
"Oh, this woman I know, her name is Shen Hong. She'd worked here before, but hadn't been here in a long time. The proprietress emphasized the word "for a long time", and seemed to be eager to get rid of her relationship with Shen Hong.
"How long is it?"
"It's probably half a year." "She had a baby, and she was still breastfeeding," she recalled. ”
"Kid? Does she have a husband? ”
"No, she is alone, and the child's father doesn't know who it is. That woman, too, is also a hard life, just released, for the milk powder money and out of that kind of business, half a year ago she said that she received a business, and said that she would not do it in the future, who knew that this time I have not come back. ”
"That's right, our sisters thought maybe she really made a lot of money and won't come back." The woman in the black dress on the sofa said.
"Officer, she's... Are you alright? The proprietress asked tentatively.
"You don't need to know." Xing Yi answered: "Do you know the address of her home?" ”
"You know, I will take you two?"
"No, give me the address."
--------
The car was bumpy on the muddy road, and Qiao Qianwen looked at the window scene and was silent for a long time.
Shen Hong must have been deceived and killed by the murderer, but she is a child, and she doesn't know how long a person can last in a rental house without milk.
"How did you see that the ledger was hidden on the shelf?" She glanced sideways at the man beside her who was concentrating on driving.
He smiled: "I just said it casually, but when I saw her mention the account book, I knew there was a problem." So I took a closer look at her micro-expression, and when she saw that I was wrong, she turned from nervous to relaxed, and between the emotional changes, she unconsciously glanced at the real place of the ledger. ”
"So the truth is often in a moment."
"But how do you know which one it is?"
"The only thickest book in all the old men's clothing magazines and story clubs, "Water Margin", is naturally the most suspicious."
"Well..... "In that kind of poor and remote country, the cultural quality is only at the level of the story club, and a world famous book in Chinese is suspicious.
"You're so good at micro-expression observation.... Isn't it true that all men are naked before you? ”
"It's not all, at least I can see that it's fake that you don't want to remarry me." A hint of banter tipped at the corners of his mouth.
"........" Qiao Qianwen was speechless for a moment, don't look out the window and ignore him.
After several rounds, the car stopped in front of a tube building.
Qiao Qianwen held the address in her hand, went all the way to the third floor, and came directly to the iron gate with house number 302.
She looked at the two doors next door, and it seemed that none of the residents were at home, and the corridor was very quiet, and the lights were dim, except for a blinding incandescent lamp on the ceiling.
"Looks like we're going to have to break the door."
"Breaking the door? We're trespassing! ”
While the two were arguing, several faint cries of babies came out of the house intermittently.
"Are you going to wait for Shen Hong to come back?" He looked at her silently and condescendingly.
"Okay, don't break the door yet, I'll try." Qiao Qianwen lowered her head and compromised.
