After resting for a night, Zou Cheng and the others continued to set off the next day, still going to the apartment, hoping to meet the residents in the apartment today, not to mention all, but also one or two.

Coming to the apartment, Zou Cheng began to knock on the door one by one.

The oldest person in the apartment, who lived in it for the longest time, was this teacher, and Zou Cheng knocked on this person's door first.

But after knocking for a long time, there was no response, Zou Cheng looked at the time, did he go to work again.

In fact, Zou Cheng can let them wait for him, saying that he wants to investigate the case, but these people are not suspects, they have their own lives, and Zou Cheng doesn't want to disturb them.

Seeing that there was no one in this house, Zou Cheng said to Zhou Yi: "Put a business card here and make an appointment." ”

Zou Cheng didn't want to disturb them, but he couldn't pounce every time, and it was not a way to see people all the time.

After that, Zou Cheng began to knock on the door of the reporter's house, and this time someone opened the door, but it was not a reporter, and it was a big boy.

The eldest boy also knew about the case and also knew Zou Cheng, and finally Zou Cheng asked him to tell his father that he could contact him when he was free.

Then going upstairs, the pregnant woman Zou Cheng felt that she had already seen it, and then knocked on the door of another person.

The door opened, and it was a woman, a woman with short hair, and it looked like a man.

"Inspector Zhou Yi?" this woman knows Zhou Yi.

"This is Inspector Zou. Zhou Yi gave an introduction.

"Hello Inspector Zou, may I ask who you are?" the woman asked Zou Cheng.

"Hello, how long have you been living here?" asked Zou Cheng.

"It's been four years. The woman said.

"During this time, has anyone lived in apartment No. 5?" Zou Cheng asked, apartment No. 5, which is the apartment of the deceased.

The woman, too, knew what had been found here, and said, "It seems that no one else has lived there except for the one who had the accident." ”

"We all thought she was out of here, but we didn't expect ......"

The woman's words Zou Cheng understood that they thought the woman had left, but they didn't expect that she was actually dying in the attic.

"Do you remember the last time you saw her?" asked Zou Cheng to the woman.

Seeing the woman's frowning appearance, Zou Cheng said, "I know it was a long time ago, can you remember?"

"I met at an apartment party a few years ago, and I haven't seen it since. The woman said.

"Are you familiar with her?" asked Zou Cheng to the woman.

The woman shook her head and said, "I'm not familiar, I will say hello to each other when we meet, but I don't have too much contact." ”

"Okay, thanks. "Zou Cheng didn't seem to have gained much from their first inquiry.

Zou Cheng, the person on the second floor, has seen it, the newcomer and this woman.

The people on the first floor haven't been seen yet, and Zou Cheng feels that he needs to see them.

"Inspector Zou, why don't we give them a call. Zhou Yi proposed.

"Asking them to say a time, a place for us to go over, doesn't affect them very much. Zhou Yi felt that it was not difficult.

Zou Cheng nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Their first call was to the teacher, who was on the phone and told them to go to a coffee shop near the school and wait.

After Zou Cheng and the others arrived, they saw this teacher, who was already waiting here.

"Sorry to interrupt. Zou Cheng said to the teacher.

"It's not Inspector Zou, a lot of our students like you very much. The teacher said.

Zou Cheng saw that the teacher was already very old, and he was still holding a cane.

Now everyone is a suspect in Zou Cheng's eyes, and he will first judge whether this person is or not.

Judging from the age of this teacher and his behavior of holding a cane, Zou Cheng felt that he might not be a murderer.

Because it would be difficult for him to go up to the attic, let alone kill someone.

"How long have you been living there?" asked Zou Cheng to the teacher.

"Fifteen years. The teacher said.

"So do you know anything about the people upstairs?" the teacher knew who Zou Cheng wanted to ask.

The teacher shook her head and said, "I knew her mother before, and then she moved here when her mother passed away, and she didn't live here before, so I don't know this person." ”

"What about your wife?" Zou Cheng felt that the teacher didn't understand, which didn't mean that his wife didn't understand.

"No, I live alone. The teacher said, it seems that it is either divorced or his wife has passed away, and Zou Cheng didn't ask much.

"Will there be people who come to see the people on the third floor often?" Zou Cheng wanted to know if the deceased had any friends.

"I live on the first floor, she's on the third floor, and even if someone comes to see him, I won't know. The teacher said he didn't know at all.

Zou Cheng thinks it's not enough, the teacher lives on the first floor, everyone has to come in from the first floor, and it won't be that they haven't met it once.

Zou Cheng continued to ask, "Have you ever seen her go in and out with other people, friends or something?" ”

"I don't have the impression of that. The teacher said.

"From the time she moved in to the time she disappeared and died, hasn't anyone ever rang his doorbell for so long?" Zou Cheng felt that in the past few years, has the deceased's doorbell not been ringed?

"Maybe no one likes her. The teacher said directly.

Hearing the teacher's sudden words, Zou Cheng said with a smile: "This evaluation doesn't seem to be very good." ”

"Is that so, just because we can't speak ill of the dead?"

"I don't like that girl, and I don't think I should pretend to like her just because she's dead. Zou Cheng was powerless to refute the teacher's words.

yes, if you don't like it, you don't like it.

Zou Cheng originally thought that this person was not a murderer, because he didn't quite agree, but he didn't like the girl upstairs very much.

As for why I didn't like it, the teacher didn't explain it, I just didn't like it.

"I'm sorry, I still have one more lesson, I'll go first. After answering Zou Cheng's question, the teacher got up and left.

Seeing the teacher leaving, Zhou Yi said with a wry smile: "This teacher seems to have a big opinion of the woman upstairs. ”

"Do you know why?" asked Zou Cheng.

"I don't know, but it seems that this teacher is a bit mean and selfish, and whoever goes up the stairs louder will probably leave a note at your door. Zhou Yi said that these were some of the first information she investigated.

In this case, the girl must have done something that made the teacher unhappy.

"Forget it, let's meet the last reporter first. Zou Cheng said to Zhou Yi.

Liang Ying said: "I have contacted the reporter, but he said that he is only free in the evening, so let's meet in the evening." ”

"Good. "Zou Cheng They have no way to force the reporter to meet when to meet, the reporter said that in the evening, then the evening will be good.

In the evening, Zou Cheng and the others met the reporter, a middle-aged man.

"Inspector Zou, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The reporter said embarrassedly.

"Nothing. Zou Cheng said it didn't matter.

"I heard my son say, you went to me. The reporter already knew from his son, and it seems that his son had called him.

Zou Cheng exchanged a few words with the reporter, and then asked directly: "How long have you lived here?"

"A few years ago, my wife and I divorced, so I found a house and moved in, and my son was fourteen years old at the time. The reporter said.

Hearing that it was a few years ago, Zou Cheng asked, "So you know the woman on the third floor, because she was still alive at that time." ”

"I've only seen her a few times and she's very introverted. The reporter said.

"Have you ever seen her with someone else, such as a friend, or a boyfriend?" Zou Cheng asked.

"I don't think I like to deal with other people that much, I just live a two-point life. The reporter said that he was not familiar with the deceased.

Zou Cheng continued to ask, "So have you been to the attic?"

"I usually only move around on the first floor. The reporter shook his head.

"Okay, thanks. Zou Cheng told reporters.

After the reporter left, Zhou Yi and Liang Ying sat opposite Zou Cheng, and the three of them glanced at each other, with a wry smile on their faces.

"Everyone in the attic was unfamiliar with the deceased. Zou Cheng said helplessly, this is too strange.

You live in a high-rise building, and you say you're not familiar with it, and it makes sense.

But in a three-story attic, and listening to the woman on the second floor, they also had a party, don't you know anything about it?

Zhou Yi said: "It's very strange, everyone, as if they have no communication with the woman on the third floor. ”

"Inspector Zou, it seems that we have finished questioning all the people we can ask. Zhou Yi said helplessly.

Is it over?

Zou Cheng thought it wasn't, Zou Cheng said: "Have you forgotten the pregnant woman on the second floor, she just moved here, who did she buy the house from?"

Zou Cheng's words made Zhou Yi react, and Zhou Yi said: "I'll investigate immediately." ”

After a while, Zhou Yi came back and said: "The previous owner of the house went abroad, and the house has been placed in the intermediary for a long time, and it was sold by the intermediary. ”

"Contact him, talk to him. Zou Cheng said to Zhou Yi.

Soon, Liang Yingqi contacted people abroad, and they were chatting with social software.

Liang Yingqi identified herself, then turned on the video screen and asked Zou Cheng to chat with the man.

Liang Ying had already said it, and Zou Cheng asked directly.

"May I ask you used to live in Minghua City...... Apartment No. 4?" Zou Cheng made sure first.

"yes, what's wrong?" the man was depressed, not knowing why the detective was suddenly looking for him.

Liang Yingqi just told him that Zou Cheng was a detective and that they had something to ask, but they didn't tell him that someone was dead.

"Because your former consul is dead, the woman who lives on the third floor. Zou Cheng said to the man.

"Really, when?" the man looked puzzled, he didn't know anything about it.

"I talked to the other people in your building, but they didn't help much, so I contacted you. Zou Cheng told the man.

"Yes, I guess too. The man said.

Zou Cheng asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?"

"They're not so-called, friendly people, and maybe she's moving out, that's why they're doing. The man said.

"Sorry, I didn't make it clear, she didn't move out, her body was found in the attic of the apartment. Zou Cheng's words made the man even more incredulous.
