As soon as the three of them walked to the eighth floor, they smelled a strong smell of paint, and Mao Dahua's door was splashed with paint, and two big red characters were written on it: Pay back!

The paint was all over the ground, obviously just splashed, and it was almost certain that Li Ermao did it.

"Didn't you go in and have a look?" Sophie asked.

"No, except for this door, he can't get out, even if he can get out of the window, he can't go down, this is the eighth floor, that is, the highest floor, if you fall down, it's almost like you're dead." Lao Guo said.

"And what if he's in the house?"

Sophie said this, Tang Tao also understood, what if someone helped lock the door?

"Probably not, what has he eaten these days, and isn't he afraid of us breaking it down if he hides in the house? Impossible, he didn't come back at all. ”

At that moment, the door of a room a few meters behind them opened, and an old woman poked her head out.

Lao Guo hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Second aunt, have you seen Mao Dahua?" ”

"No, he hasn't been back in a long time."

Lao Guo introduced Tang Tao and Sophie again, saying that everyone was here to investigate the case, and he wanted to consult the second aunt with some questions.

Although the second aunt was not happy, she still let open the door and welcomed a few people in, Mao Dahua's second aunt is in her sixties, her husband and son have died, and now she lives here alone, which is the target of the community's key care, and Lao Guo will visit her on behalf of the police on holidays.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, the furniture is very old, and the TV is playing entertainment news. There was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the room, and on the wooden table were a casserole pot for boiling medicine and half a bowl of black Chinese medicine.

The second aunt was about to pour water but was stopped by Lao Guo, saying that she would leave soon without trouble.

"His second aunt, you must pay attention to your body for this stomach disease, and the medicine can't be stopped." Lao Guo said with concern.

"I know, I'm just going to drink the medicine."

The second aunt clasped her hands together a little cramped, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the middle room, her brows twisted slightly, but she immediately took it back.

This insignificant action was clearly seen by Tang Tao.

"Auntie, did you see someone splashing paint just now?" Sophie asked.

"No, I haven't heard anything in the house all the time."

"Oh, that's it, that's a bother, let's go."

Sophie and Tang Tao exchanged glances, and several people retreated together and went straight downstairs.

However, they did not leave immediately, but stopped at the stairs.

"She's lying, her medicine is not for stomach problems at all, there are chicken blood vine eucommia dodder seeds and rehmannia These medicines are mostly used for bruises, my grandfather used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, I knew the smell as soon as I smelled it, you also saw it, she was not injured at all, so these medicines must not be hers." Sophie said.

"That's right, you just asked her if she heard anything and she said she didn't hear anything, but as soon as we came, she opened the door, it's not a coincidence, she should have seen Li Ermao, she has been staring in the house, and when she heard the sound again, she opened the door to check, I didn't expect us to come, and when we asked about Mao Dahua, she looked at the upper house, the most dangerous place is the safest place, Mao Dahua is hiding in his second aunt's house." Tang Tao said.

"No, we searched for it, but there really isn't anyone." Lao Guo hurriedly retorted.

"I didn't search again, did I?"

As soon as Tang Tao said this, Lao Guo suddenly thought of one thing, that is, this area is all tube buildings, all of them are the same height, Li Ermao may enter and exit through the roof, his house is on the eighth floor, which is the highest floor, but he immediately denied his opinion.

"Impossible, there is a lock on the roof, I went to see it in person, how did he come down?"

Sophie pointed out the window and said, "A rope is fine, there is no anti-theft net on the balcony of his second aunt's house, as long as he slides down from the roof, he can easily fall to the balcony, and he can climb up through the rope for anything." ”

"So I've just hid my phone in their house and turned on the video, and we'll find out if we're right."

Tang Tao showed a confident smile, everything was under his control, Sophie really admired Tang Tao in her heart, this guy's adaptability was too fast, she only thought of the first step Tang Tao had already thought about the second step and prepared countermeasures in advance.

"Alright, let's go, almost."

Tang Tao quickly rushed forward, followed by several other people.

Lao Guo stepped forward and knocked on the door again, he didn't believe that Mao Dahua would be stupid enough to hide at home.

"Who's coming?"

The voice of the second aunt came from the house.

"It's me, Lao Guo."

It didn't take long for the door to open, and the second aunt's expression was obviously a little panicked, she didn't expect that these people would actually kill a horse pistol.

"Where's Mao Dahua?" Lao Guo asked.

He ...... I don't know, didn't I just say that? The second aunt's hands were trembling.

Tang Tao took out the mobile phone from behind the mirror, pulled the video back, and a figure of one attribute appeared in front of everyone.

Sophie pushed open the door to the back room and quickly walked in, where there were several large cabinets and a large bed.

"Come on, we've all recorded it just now." Sophie exclaimed.

The second aunt's face turned white, her body trembled in front of her, and she was about to fall, so Lao Guo hurriedly helped the second aunt.

At this time, the door of the low cabinet was pushed open, and a man with a small nose and small eyes came out of the cabinet, and it was hard to imagine how he could hide in such a small space.

Mao Dahua, who had been missing for a week, finally appeared, this guy was bruised and his eyes turned into panda eyes, and he looked like he had been repaired, and he was beaten very badly, there is no doubt that those medicines were used by him.

Mao Dahua was barefoot in pants and smirked to greet everyone.

"Uncle Guo, you're here again."

Lao Guo never expected that this Mao Dahua was really hiding in his second aunt's house, he couldn't help but be impressed by Tang Tao and Sophie, it was worthy of Qian Fugui's introduction, and it only took a few minutes to help them find Mao Dahua.

The second aunt panicked, grabbed Lao Guo's hand and kept pleading: "Lao Guo, Ah Hua didn't kill anyone, that kid has nothing to do with him, you can spare him." ”

"Auntie, I'm fine, Uncle Guo, can't you believe it?" Mao Dahua said it quite easily.

"Don't worry, we won't wronged him." After Lao Guo repeatedly assured that the second aunt was relieved, she warmly welcomed everyone and sat down quickly.

Lao Guo introduced the origin of Tang Tao and Sophie and completely handed over the initiative to them, although he is old, but the case is indeed not as good as these juniors, there is nothing to be ashamed of, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the division of labor is different.

What's more, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart.

"This Chinese medicine is for you, it seems that you are not lightly injured, who did it?" Sophie asked.

"I don't know." Mao Dahua leaned back on the sofa, his expression a little painful. "I don't know about that man, he found me and beat me up, I broke three ribs, and he broke my thumb."

"And why did he hit you?"

"Son, he asked me where the little girl was, and if I didn't say anything, he would beat me......"

Mao Dahua told everyone about what happened to him, a week ago, he was suddenly stopped on the way home, and before he could react, he was hit on the head and fainted.

When he woke up again, he found him tied to a tree, blindfolded, unable to see anything.

The kidnappers kept asking Zhou Shuzao about his whereabouts with a steel pipe, and Mao Dahua's slightest hesitation would lead to a violent beating, his ribs were broken, and his whole body was covered with bruises, and he passed out because of his injuries.

When he woke up again, the kidnapper was gone, and it took him a lot of effort to break the rope and escape, and then he knew that he had become a wanted criminal, and many people were suspecting that he was the murderer, and the penniless and scarred Mao Dahua returned to climb the tube building in the dark, and drilled from the roof to the second aunt's house, and at that time it had been three days since Zhou Shuzao disappeared.

"I swear with my life, I really didn't kill anyone, I didn't even know the kid, and ...... And I don't have that ability anymore. Mao Dahua lowered his head a little embarrassed.

In fact, his body has been broken by himself over the years, and he has long lost his man's capital, which is almost the same as a eunuch.

"But someone saw you on Qiaodong Road, why did you go?" Sophie asked.

Mao Dahua lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "I...... I'm going to see the beauty, I'm ...... I'm just looking, really looking, I didn't do anything, I'm not hiding to hide from you, I'm hiding from that person, and my enemy. ”

"Who is your enemy? Zhao Xiaodong? Lao Guo asked.

"Yes, I owe him money, but they set up a trap to harm me, Uncle Guo, you have to save me, you can arrest me, otherwise I will be killed if they find me." Mao Dahua knelt on the ground as he spoke, born with a soft bone.

Lao Guo sighed again, he was so disappointed in this guy.

Although Mao Dahua is not the murderer, it undoubtedly proves that there is a person who is secretly investigating, the means are direct and straightforward, and he also has a considerable ability to counter-reconnaissance, which makes Tang Tao and Sophie think of a person, the mysterious person who left a note.

This time, he set up a game to attract Sophie and Tang Tao here.

It seems that he is really anxious, and desperately hopes that Tang Tao and them will intervene to help find someone.

It's just that Zhou Shuzao's background is mediocre, and there shouldn't be such a person in her social circle, so who is this person? What is the real purpose?
