Chapter 44: A Stunning Breakthrough
Marven is equivalent to drawing a range for Zhao Ming and the others, originally this range is actually nothing, only to deploy more police, and a few nearby villages to investigate the last time, it should be possible to find out the nine people in the photo.
The problem is that urban planning has led to the loss of many of the existing villages in the vicinity. The village was demolished, and it was not easy to find the villagers.
In short, what Marven didn't say was probably not to have too high expectations, and the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and that's it.
There are only five elderly people in the old town who stay in the old house. Marven led the way in front, and Zhao Ming and Su Tingting walked a little behind side by side.
Su Tingting's height is about 1.7 to 1.73 meters, and Zhao Ming is between 1.78 and 1.8 meters, plus Su Tingting is really beautiful.
In this way, walking and walking, Zhao Ming couldn't tell whether it was the police uniforms on the two that attracted the tourists who frequently looked at this side, or whether the two of them were considered to be a couple.
"You are smiling weirdly," Su Tingting's eyesight was terrifying, and a sentence suddenly came out, forcing Zhao Ming's body to shake slightly.
Zhao Ming sneered and shook his head slightly, so as to shake out the ridiculous ideas about couples in his head.
Although he said that he knew that he should not have too high expectations, but after visiting three old people in a row, the three old people shook their heads and said that they didn't know the result of not knowing, which inevitably made Zhao Ming and Su Tingting couldn't help but be disappointed.
The fourth old man was an old woman in her seventies, and when she walked into her house, Zhao Ming didn't dare to have any expectations.
But I didn't expect ......., "Isn't this Xiaopeng?" After the old woman found the reading glasses and put them on, she looked at them carefully again, and then affirmed, "It's Xiaopeng, what's wrong?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ming and Su Tingting were immediately overjoyed, "Grandma, do you know the other people in the photo?" ”
Although the old woman is over seventy, she looks good and strong. In response to Zhao Ming's urgent question, several names popped up, "After so much time, I can't remember their full names, and the reason why I can still remember these children is because I opened a small store in the village before." ”
"Xiaokang, Xiao Tang, Xiao Zheng........" The old woman muttered while pointing to the young man in the photo.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming and Su Tingting subconsciously glanced at each other, and both of them saw joy in each other's eyes: This trip is the right one!
"Oh, you ask if these children are from our village?" The old woman repeated Zhao Ming's question, and then she shook her head, "It's not from this village, if I'm not mistaken, they should be ........"
The old woman gave the name of a village, and the name was exported, without Zhao Ming taking the initiative to ask, Marven on the side took the initiative to explain, "That village is not far from here, and the village is still there." ”
This is great news, the village is still there, and if the people in the photo were originally from that village, then there is hope that the identities of the remaining people can be determined.
Thinking about it, after glancing at the time, Zhao Ming intended to set off for that village immediately. However, Su Tingting, who was looking at the old woman, wanted to speak as if she didn't plan to leave.
Realizing this, Zhao Ming asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Tingting seemed to be thinking about something, so that Zhao Ming's sudden words made her feel a little frightened. The fright only lasted for a short while, and then Su Tingting opened her mouth to ask a question that Zhao Ming had not thought about at all.
Su Tingting asked, "Grandma, apart from us, is there anyone else who asks you about this photo or a similar photo?" ”
"Yes, I remember about three months ago, there was a man, about forty years old, probably less than fifty years old, looking like a tourist ......."
…….
The news of Shi Po's surprise reached Zhao Ming's ears, and Zhao Ming was so shocked that he was stunned for several seconds before he remembered to take out the record book and hurriedly record.
The old woman is finally getting older, and at this age it is not easy for her to remember what happened about three months ago. So she said that she couldn't remember some details.
"The man wears sunglasses, short hair, not fat, normal body type." The old woman struggled to recall, "It seems to be about the same size as you, but stronger than you." "The old woman is comparing Zhao Ming.
"He spoke very politely, and when he asked me, he was talking about our neighborhood, but it sounded a little awkward, probably because he had been away for too long."
"By the way, there's another thing, his hair. That's why I remember him, he's only in his forties, but he already has some gray hair on both ears......."
The old woman could only recall so much, and Zhao Ming was absolutely satisfied. Although it cannot be said that the middle-aged man described by the old woman is the murderer, at least the person must have some connection with the murderer.
And, about three months ago at this point in time.......
Tang Ke's expensive suit, Du Peng's expensive watch, the pair of high-end leather shoes under the feet of the victim whose identity is currently unknown....... according to Su Tingting's information, the three items on the three murderers are also new products that came out abroad about three months ago.
Such two times ....... inevitably too much of a coincidence!
Leaving the old woman's house, Zhao Ming, Su Tingting and Marven immediately returned to the three old people they had visited before.
As a result, one of the old men said something similar to the old woman, and someone took out this photo three months ago and asked some questions.
The old man's physical condition was a little worse than that of the old woman, and he didn't remember it very clearly. However, according to the general description, it was indeed the same middle-aged person who inquired.
There were five old people in the ancient town, and by the time the last old man was visited, the time had already reached half past three in the afternoon, and the weather in the early autumn season was gradually getting shorter, and it was estimated that at half past five and six o'clock, the night should come.
There is barely enough time, if you go out of the ancient town immediately and drive to another village.
I never thought that at this time, Su Tingting actually put forward an idea for no reason, "There is still some time, I finally came here, you can accompany me over there to buy some souvenirs." ”
Zhao Ming was a little confused, but what made him even more confused was still behind. Because I saw Su Tingting talking and talking, she actually grabbed Zhao Ming's arm as if she was extremely familiar.
Until he walked away almost involuntarily, Zhao Ming still couldn't understand where it was.
However, Marven seemed to understand, Marven was so old, he was naturally interested when he saw this, and immediately smiled, "Then I'll smoke a cigarette here, you can buy it." Don't buy too much, everything in the scenic area is expensive. ”
"Okay." Su Tingting readily agreed.
There are stalls selling souvenirs in several places, and Su Tingting insisted on pulling Zhao Ming all the way forward, and she didn't even look at several stalls.
Seeing this, no matter how slow he reacted, Zhao Ming had to wake up to why Su Tingting suddenly came to this set: she intended to support Marven.
"It's okay, now Marven can't see it." Sneaking a glance back, to determine where they were at the moment, Marven really couldn't see it, so Zhao Ming opened his mouth.
Hearing this, Su Tingting first confirmed it herself, and then let go of the little hand holding Zhao Ming's arm.
