July 5, 7:40 p.m

Du Li's house is not far from the Mayat Fitness Center. Nie Yu and Deng Ming arrived less than twenty minutes after receiving the call to the police.

"Are you sure it's the wanted man?"

Deng Ming first bought a pack of cigarettes from Lao Wang, the owner of the grocery store, opened it, lit it and took a puff before asking slowly.

Lao Wang rubbed his eyelids and nodded again: "It's him, and he asked me not to call the police." ”

"Which way did he go?"

Lao Wang pointed in one direction.

Nie Yu looked at the long alley where the street lights were shining, reached into his pants pocket, and quietly turned the phone into vibration mode.

"Tell me more about it."

After a very simple process, especially the situation of omitting Lao Wang's in-line newspaper and collecting money from the flat-headed man, Lao Wang's three sentences were finished.

"The person who lives opposite is called Du Li?" Deng Ming glanced at Nie Yu.

Could it be that Brother Li is what Fat Dragon said? Their boss?

"Yes, he's been dead for more than ten days, and I heard it was a car accident."

"What does he do, you know?"

"Well, I heard that he used to be a manager and worked at a health club in the city center."

That's right, Nie Yu and Deng Ming exchanged glances.

"This escapee, have you seen it before? Has he ever come to Du Li? ”

Lao Wang shook his head, "I haven't seen it, I know from watching TV news that he is an escaped prisoner." ”

"What did he buy?" Nie Yu asked.

Lao Wang was stunned: "No, I didn't buy anything." ”

"If it's not to buy something, it's to come to you and ask about the situation? What to ask? Are you familiar with Du Li? How did Wei Donghe know? ”

Nie Yu threw down a bunch of questions, Lao Wang secretly screamed badly, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "He, he took a bottle of water and a pack of cigarettes." ”

"Don't you have a lighter?"

"Oh, yes, yes, and lighters."

Nie Yu glanced at Deng Ming, Deng Ming spit out a smoke ring and walked to the road with Nie Yu.

"The boss lied." Nie Yu said.

"How?"

"Wei Donghe doesn't smoke." Nie Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark Du Li's house not far ahead.

"Shall I ask him again?" Deng Ming squinted at Lao Wang.

"Wait a minute, he can't run. Let's go to Du Li's house first. ”

Du Li died suddenly, and it seemed that he had no relatives, and after his death, the house has been empty.

Deng Ming took a wire and stabbed it, and opened the door in two clicks.

As soon as I pushed the door open, a sultry wave of rust greeted me. Nie Yu noticed a layer of dust accumulating under the crack of the door.

"Ahem, you don't have to look at it, do you?" Deng Ming turned his head to look at Nie Yu, "Anything has already been taken away, how long has it been." ”

Nie Yu didn't say anything, he walked into the porch and pressed the switch of the light.

The room was tidy.

This is Nie Yu's first impression, which may be too neat for a single man.

The room is not big. The layout of the decades-old house is not very reasonable, and the only advantage is the small courtyard of more than ten square meters and the courtyard gate facing the street. There are a lot of cannas planted in the small courtyard, and it is the time when the flowers bloom, probably because of the recent rains, these cannas grow tall and dense, and they are exceptionally lush.

The trash cans in the room were empty, the fridge was off with nothing, and there was a half-pack of opened cigarettes on the coffee table in the living room but no ashtray. The wardrobe is full of suits and shirts, all in black, gray and blue. There is a small room with a not-so-good layout that has been turned into a study, in a classical and simple style.

The shelves are full of antique books, and against the wall is a Bogu shelf, mostly bronze and ceramics. Nie Yu didn't know about antiques, he didn't know whether it was true or not, he glanced at it and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped, next to a three-legged bronze incense burner, there was a heart-shaped knick-knack made of plexiglass - exactly the same as the one in Nie Yu's car!

"What did you find?" Deng Ming's voice came from behind him.

Nie Yu quickly put down the glass heart, picked up the incense burner, and turned around just to block Deng Ming's sight, "It's nothing, it's all these things, and I don't know if it's real or fake." ”

Deng Ming's head poked forward and took a look, "This drug dealer is quite Yaxing, playing such a high-level game." ”

He said as he shook his head and walked away.

Nie Yu breathed a sigh of relief and rearranged the glass heart behind the incense burner, which was difficult to find if he didn't look closely.

"What did you find?"

Nie Yu walked out of the study and asked Deng Ming.

"Nothing was found." Deng Ming frowned and stood in the living room and looked at it, "The room is so clean, someone should have cleaned it after the accident." Who cleans it? Neighbors, or people who come here looking for something? ”

"Looking for something? Will he hide his goods at home? ”

Deng Ming thought for a while and said, "It's very likely." He is Wei Ruhai's supplier, so where do they trade? It's a residential area, with a lot of people and no surveillance, so it's a good place to trade. ”

Nie Yu didn't think so, he said: "There is only one door here, the road on both sides is not wide, it is very difficult for two cars to walk side by side, it is not a good place to escape, and Du Li will not only have Wei Ruhai offline, he can't take people home every time he trades, and the frequent entry and exit of people in such a conspicuous place will definitely be discovered." ”

Deng Ming thought for a while and said, "It also makes sense." Now that Wei Ruhai and Du Li are dead, the clues are all broken, even if it is found out that it is a place of transaction, it is useless. ”

"Well, let's go out first, and then ask the boss."

Nie Yu followed behind Deng Ming, turned off the lights, and locked the door.

He caught a thread from his garment in the crack of the door as he locked it.
