Chapter 9: The Foul-smelling Drunkard

It is estimated that Gao Fanhua drank a little too much the night before, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't determine whether the name of KTV was "Ringing in the Sky" or "Singing in the Sky". It doesn't matter, at least he remembered the word "Yunxiao", so with these two keywords, plus the approximate direction, it is estimated that it will not be too difficult to confirm, so Tang Hongye and Du Juan did not stare at this matter, but asked about You Xinghua again, hoping to get some information from Gao Fanhua, an old classmate and old friend.

But they were disappointed again, Gao Fanhua could say no more than Tan Yaning, to be exact, the two of them didn't know each other and had different characteristics, Tan Yaning obviously knew something about her husband more or less, but she didn't know what kind of concern she had, so she refused to speak.

In contrast, Gao Fanhua feels that he really understands You Xinghua's old friend very sloppily, about You Xinghua's things, he can only tell some old things about when he was a child, about You Xinghua's recent situation, he doesn't know anything, and it is all about "Old You is a cow now", You Xinghua's work, he seems to know You Xinghua's work position, and he can't say anything, Du Juan and Tang Hongye can hear it, in fact, Gao Fanhua really wants to borrow old classmates with You XinghuaThe relationship between old friends is "going to the next level", because You Xinghua's position seems to be very beneficial to Gao Fanhua, but You Xinghua himself is trying to compete for a promoted position, so he is not willing to take the risk of doing some tricks, so as not to delay his future.

As for whether You Xinghua has a grudge with anyone, Gao Fanhua can't answer at all.

Du Juan and Tang Hongye didn't stay with him for long, so they directly confirmed the KTV they went to after leaving the hotel the night before, in the area provided by Gao Fanhua, there was really a KTV called "Singing the Clouds", and the two of them rushed there directly.

On the question of who the murderer is, Du Juan and Tang Hongye have a consistent point of view, that is, this person can never be any close relatives, friends or colleagues around You Xinghua, because the modus operandi of this case has a little bit of revenge and anger, if there is anyone around You Xinghua, whether there is friction in life, to vent resentment, or competition at work, if you want to exclude dissidents, it is obviously a very risky move to go into battle in person. A person who can take the risk of being exposed and take matters into his own hands should have intensified the contradictions to the extent that there is no way to hide them, as long as it has not reached the level of breaking the net, hiring someone to commit murder is obviously a more secure way.

So for Du Juan and Tang Hongye, the first thing they need to know and master at present is You Xinghua's whereabouts and trajectory the night before, to see if they can find any valuable evidence or witnesses, and to determine if there is anyone who has been in contact with him except for those old friends, as long as the suspect who attacked You Xinghua can be found, it will not be difficult to dig out the possible behind-the-scenes masterminds.

When they arrived at the KTV, it went relatively smoothly, although the people who worked the night shift the night before had gone back to rest, the day shift manager over there still helped them call the waiter who was in charge of You Xinghua's private room service that night back from the dormitory, and asked him to help Du Juan and Tang Hongye provide the situation at that time.

The waiter was a young man in his early twenties, and when he was called back, he still looked sleepy-eyed, obviously making up for sleep in the dormitory, and when he was asked about You Xinghua and their group the night before, this waiter remembered it quite clearly.

"Ah, those people, I have the impression, are quite old, and they don't sing much after they come, and they drink a lot," he said to the cuckoo and them, "and there is one in the middle who walks, and then a group of people hula and cheer all go out to send, I thought they were leaving, and took them to the checkout, but they didn't leave, so I let them stay alone in the private room, and then went out and the group at the door and the taxi didn't seem to be very happy, anyway, it took a long time to send the one who was leaving, and the others went back to the private room, I drank for more than three hours, and I couldn't get out of the gate without holding each other when I left. ”

"The one who left early, isn't this one?" Tang Hongye showed him You Xinghua's photo.

The waiter nodded after reading it: "Well, it's him, I feel that he is quite popular among those men, one or two are very enthusiastic about him, a little bit of the meaning of stammering him, he didn't come over long when he left, and he didn't drink much, and those people had to hug him back and forth, which was really funny." ”

"And do you remember what time this man left from you?"

"Remember, when they arrived here, our system started to clock at almost half past nine, and then when the person left, it was less than half past ten, I saw them all get up and go out, and I thought, what kind of toss is this, five or six people came, a dozen beers and a fruit plate, and they had to leave before an hour arrived, and then I learned that it was just one who was leaving, and the others were still staying."

After that, they confirmed through the KTV surveillance video, and the waiter was also very active in explaining the situation to them, and it could indeed be confirmed from the surveillance that night that You Xinghua left here only at ten o'clock that night, and it was only about forty minutes since they came here, and there was a time difference of about two hours from the time of injury inferred by Forensic Doctor Liu and the attending doctor in the hospital. It is not difficult to see from the surveillance that You Xinghua passed through the hall surrounded by four people, and when they were at the door, the five of them stayed for a long time, because the surveillance video was silent, it could only be seen that they seemed to have been theorizing with others.

"The taxi at the door was reluctant to take the man, saying that he smelled of alcohol and his face was flushed," the waiter said next to him, "It's not usually like this, and I don't know what's going on that day, these taxis waiting for work at the door, one or two said that they didn't want to pull him, others didn't dare to pull it, it was estimated that they were afraid of bad market, and it would not be good to pull business here in the future, anyway, that person couldn't call a car and was a little anxious, so his friends began to fight with the taxi driver, and it was useless to fight, the car belonged to someone else." , if people find a reason not to pull, you can't take others. ”

From the monitoring at the gate, they could see that there was a taxi slowly slowing down close to You Xinghua's location, after parking, a young woman came down from the back of the car, and walked straight to the direction of KTV, You Xinghua noticed the car, immediately walked over, leaned over from the co-pilot position and said a few words to the driver, and then opened the door, while sitting in, while turning back and gesturing with their companions, it seemed to signal that they had found a taxi, let them go back.

After that, the taxi drove out of the shooting area of the surveillance camera, and You Xinghua's friends gestured unhappily at the door and didn't know what to say, and then turned back.

Tang Hongye asked people to rewind the surveillance video a little bit, pausing at the part where the taxi was about to drive out of the surveillance shooting area, the KTV surveillance camera was not particularly clear, so it took him and Du Juan a while to confirm the license plate number from the surveillance screen that became extremely hazy due to the night.

The two rushed back to the public security bureau and confirmed the information of the owner of the taxi through the system, and found that the license plate number they initially identified was actually a private car, and the model and color of the car did not match all aspects.

"Is this taxi deck?" Tang Hongye was a little puzzled, "In recent months, the fake license plate of the car, especially the business vehicle, has been particularly strict, so the driver should not be so bold and commit the crime against the wind, right?" If it's a deck, it's not easy, and it's a bit time-consuming to find the driver. ”

Du Juan was still staring at the photo and trying to figure out which number they had misidentified, when she heard Tang Hongye's words, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she stared at that group of numbers again, and then pointed to the notebook in front of her, and said to Tang Hongye: "I thought of it!" You change the number 3 to the number 8 and give it a try! ”

Tang Hongye made a simple adjustment according to the method that Du Juan said, and the results were indeed a taxi with a regular operating license, and the model and other information were consistent with what they saw in the surveillance.

"There yours! Now we may have found a taxi driver! Tang Hongye snapped his fingers, in a good mood, "You see, You Xinghua was still wearing his suit jacket when he left KTV, and after he was injured at the scene of the crime, the clothes were gone, I think there must be material in the taxi link!" ”

"I didn't think about that aspect, as soon as you talk about decks, I suddenly feel that compared to decks, it is easier to operate by driving at night, covering the license plate, so I looked at it carefully, and felt that the number 3 looks a little weird on the border, not like it is not clear at night, so I guessed it, will it be the driver who covers the number 8 half, so as to create a false impression that the number 3 is the number." After confirming the information of the taxi, Du Juan was also very happy, and she hurriedly signaled to Tang Hongye, "Then let's contact the car owner!" ”

Tang Hongye immediately called the owner of the car according to the registration information, and learned that the owner of the taxi did not drive, but hired two drivers on the day shift and a night shift to take turns to run the car, so Tang Hongye successfully got the personal information of the night shift driver from the owner.

The night driver of that car was named Lou Shengrong, forty years old this year, a local, single, without any bad records, an ordinary person without any bright spots, and at the same time without any stains.

Tang Hongye looked at the time, it is estimated that after driving the night bus, Lou Shengrong may not have woken up at this time, even if he wakes up, it is not necessarily a better time, he and Du Juan tossed for so long, lunch time was missed, the two of them didn't have time to eat breakfast in order to go out of the scene before, and now they are so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, so they simply take advantage of this time to find a noodle restaurant and a bowl of hot noodle soup for one person to solve it quickly.

Although he said that he was a little confused about eating, and gobbled it up, but his stomach was full, and he didn't know how many times more comfortable than when he was hungry, Tang Hongye made a call to Lou Shengrong, and when the other party heard that it was the police looking for him, he was startled, and he didn't even ask why he was looking for him, so he agreed to meet them, and told Tang Hongye where he was now.

Tang Hongye and Du Juan looked for it according to the address, Lou Shengrong was eating barbecue in a small barbecue restaurant of a residential businessman, and there were several young men in their twenties with him, and they met to say hello, Lou Shengrong hurriedly wiped his mouth, got up and went outside the hotel to talk to them.

"I don't know what you're looking for me, so I'll let you come to me, these are all little brothers we met in a rental together, it's okay to have a bite to eat together, I didn't drink! I drive the night bus at night, so I don't get a drop of wine! Lou Shengrong said to Tang Hongye in a little panic.

Tang Hongye smiled at him: "Don't be nervous, catching drunk driving is also a matter for the traffic police, and it is not under the control of our criminal police." We're looking for you to ask you something else, about the passengers you've pulled before. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lou Shengrong breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed: "Hey, okay, you can ask casually!" As long as I drive on the road, when I see the traffic police, I still beat drums in my heart, sweating in my palms, I am afraid that if there is any violation, a list will be opened, and I will do it in vain! However, I'm a person who doesn't do bad things, I'm not afraid of you criminal police, and I'm not nervous about dealing with you. ”

"In that case, you can help us recognize someone first, and see if you remember this person." Tang Hongye took out You Xinghua's photo and asked Lou Shengrong to take a good look.

Lou Shengrong took the photo and looked at it, and suddenly it turned into a disgusted expression: "He! Can I not remember him?! A foul-smelling old drunkard, I really poured eight lifetimes of blood mold before I met him in my car! How much has I been delayed! Originally, the night shift didn't make money, and I couldn't pull passengers for half the night by him, so I really lost my life! ”
