"Boss, do you have this cat cream in your store?"

After Lin Yao walked into the pet supply store, he looked at the boss inside and asked.

The boss was busy sorting out the list at the counter, and immediately raised his head when he heard it.

He was stunned when he saw Lin Yao, and then immediately said:

"Comrade policeman, what do you want to buy?"

"Take a look at this."

Lin Yao handed the photo of the nutritional paste in his mobile phone to the boss and asked him.

The boss's eyes swept to Lin Yao's mobile phone screen, just glanced at it, and immediately nodded and said:

"Well, we have this nourishment, how many do you want?"

After saying that, he walked straight to the shelf.

"Wait a minute, boss, don't rush yet!"

Lin Yao hurriedly said to him.

The boss looked at Lin Yao suspiciously.

"I wanted you to check it out for me, has anyone bought this cream lately?"

Lin Yao said directly to him.

The boss hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said:

"Oh, I see, you're investigating the case, you're not buying something, are you?"

"Yes, I need your help."

Lin Yao nodded and said to him.

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly agreed, then walked to the counter and said:

"Everything I can check here, everything we sell, is recorded in the system."

"That's great, you can check it out for me."

Lin Yao also followed him towards the counter.

The boss said while operating the computer:

"This nutritional paste is selling quite well, and many sticks have been sold recently, so you can wait a minute."

"Okay, you can call up all the purchase records of the last week for me to see."

Lin Yao looked at his computer screen and nodded.

"yes, okay."

The boss said, and then he pointed to the computer screen,

"It's out, and the records are here."

Lin Yao immediately looked over, only to see that there were seven purchase records on it.

Lin Yao sifted through the above dates, and finally there were two purchase records that were before the crime and were no more than a week away from the time of the crime.

Lin Yao looked at the seven records, frowned slightly, and then asked the boss:

"Boss, how long can you see the surveillance in your store, and is there any time monitoring on it?"

"Yes, the surveillance in my store is network storage, and I can watch a month's worth of replays. How? Do you want to see the monitoring of these purchases?"

The boss hurriedly looked at Lin Yao and said.

"Yes, you can fetch it for me."

Lin Yao nodded.

Subsequently, the boss operated the monitored computer, and then said to Lin Yao:

"Comrade policeman, the first recorded surveillance video has been retrieved, you can take a look."

Lin Yao hurried over and looked up.

But his brow furrowed slightly.

Because the customer on the surveillance is not Bai Ling, but a woman in her fifties.

And this woman is not Bai Ling's mother.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Yao shook his head slightly, and then said to the boss:

"Boss, let's do the next one."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll bring it up for you."

The boss agreed, and then hurried to operate.

Immediately afterwards, the monitoring of the second purchase record was also called up.

Lin Yao looked at the screen, a little disappointed again.

Because the customer this time is not Bai Ling.

Rather, a young man looking in his twenties.

Lin Yao sighed and shook

shook his head.

Neither of these records has anything to do with Bai Ling.

Then it will be troublesome to check it again.

First of all, even if she bought this nutritional paste, she is not sure if she bought it at this store.

Secondly, if she bought it a month ago, the surveillance would not have been able to detect it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Subsequently, he still used his mobile phone to take a picture of the young man on the monitoring screen, and then said to the boss:

"Okay, boss, thank you."

"It's okay, it's as it should be!"

The boss said again and again.

Then, Lin Yao walked out of the pet supply store, lit a cigarette at the door, and stared at the front tightly.

He always felt in his heart that Bai Ling was inextricably linked to her boyfriend's death.

Is it she who is the one who applies the cream to the screen of his phone?

If you take the nutritional paste as a clue, it is indeed a little difficult to check.

After all, there are so many pet supply stores in the city, even if she buys it, she can't be sure when she bought it, which is really impossible to check.

Just as Lin Yao was thinking, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Lin Yao took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhang Haiyang.

"Hey? Captain Zhang, how's it going?"

"Xiaolin, I asked people to retrieve Bai Ling's online shopping records, and I didn't find out what cat nutritional paste she bought, and the cat supplies she bought were also cat food."

Zhang Haiyang said immediately on the other end of the phone.

"Isn't that so? Okay, I got it."

Lin Yao nodded slightly after hearing the news, and then said slowly.

"Well, is there anything else I need to look up for you?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Haiyang on the other end of the phone asked again.

"Not for the time being, if you need to help me check it then, I'll look for you again."

Lin Yao came back to his senses and said to him.

"Okay, no problem."

Zhang Haiyang nodded, and then complained to Lin Yao:

"Now we are analyzing the scene, and we have not found any trace of the murderer entering."

"You said that this is also evil, so it seems that this is a completely closed secret room, did the murderer disappear out of thin air?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it yet, hang up."

After that, the two hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Lin Yao thought for a moment, and then quickly took out his mobile phone and called Yao Jin.

"Hey? Brother Yao!"

After receiving Lin Yao's call, Yao Jin seemed very excited and hurriedly asked.

"Yao Jin, are you still on the team? According to the previous investigation records, where did Bai Ling work?"

Lin Yao asked him directly.

"Where's the place of work? Wait a minute, I'll see."

Yao Jin hurriedly said, and after a while, he immediately said to Lin Yao on the other end of the phone,

"I saw that she was working as a waitress at a restaurant in the southern part of the city, and that restaurant was called Hongfushun Hotel."

"But since she started her work, she has been taking leave for the past few days and hasn't gone to work."

"What? Brother Yao, you've been staring at this Bai Ling now, have you found anything?"

After finishing speaking, Yao Jin asked Lin Yao.

"Not yet."

Lin Yao shook his head, and then said:

"Hongfushun, huh? Okay, now I'll go."

"Hey, Brother Yao, do you want me to go with you?"

Yao Jin hurriedly asked.

"No, I'll just ask myself."

Lin Yao refused.

"Alright, call me then!"

"Hmm."

After that, the two hung up the phone.

Lin Yao took a taxi directly to the hotel where Bai Ling worked.

Coming to the door of Hongfushun Hotel, Lin Yao looked up.

The hotel is three stories high, not very large, not very small, and has about a dozen employees.

At this time, it was already dinner time, and after Lin Yao went in, a waiter immediately greeted him.

"Hello, how many do you have?"

After asking this sentence, the waiter kept looking at Lin Yao.

"I don't eat, is your boss here?"

Lin Yao's eyes swept around, and then asked the waiter.

At this time, the customers sitting in the restaurant couldn't help but turn their eyes over.

The waiter couldn't help but be a little nervous when he looked at Lin Yao's menacing appearance.

Then, she said:

"Wait a minute, I'll call our boss out now."

"yes, okay."

Lin Yao nodded slightly.

The waiter hurriedly ran to the boss's office on the second floor.

"Boss, boss, no!"

The waiter pushed open the door of the boss's office in a panic and shouted anxiously.

At the desk, a bald middle-aged man was startled by the sudden burst of shouts.

So I couldn't help frowning and looked at the waiter and asked:

"What's the matter? So flustered. Is there a problem with the customer?"

"No, no, there's a particularly vicious man out there! I want to find the boss by name!"

The waiter waved his hand again and again and explained.

"Evil gods? Looking for me? It's a fault!"

When the boss heard this, he slapped the table and stood up directly.

"Come here to make trouble, I don't think he has long eyes!"

After saying that, the boss pushed the door and walked out.

"Gangzi! Hadron! Get out of here!"

After a while, two big men in aprons came out of the back kitchen, holding spoons and shovels in their hands!

"What's wrong? Boss!"

The two asked in loud voices.

"There's a disturbance down there! Come down with me!"

"Okay, let's go, fuck it!"

Lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

The boss stood in front of Lin Yao, and Gangzi and Qiangzi stood behind the boss with a spoon and a shovel.

There was silence

The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at the uniform on Lin Yao's body.

Then he slowly turned his head and glared fiercely at the waiter.

Nima? It's the police, why don't you make it clear!

The waiter looked innocent and spread his hands.

Lin Yao looked at the three people in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You're the boss, aren't you?"

"Bang!"

The shovel spoon in the hands of Gangzi and Hadron fell directly to the ground.

The boss instantly squeezed out a smile on his meaty face, stretched out his hand towards Lin Yao and said:

"Hello, hello, comrade policeman! I'm the owner of this shop, what's the matter with you?"

"Boss, the back kitchen is urging the food, let's go back first!"

"Yes, let's go, let's go!"

Gangzi and Qiangzi picked up the shovel and spoon on the ground and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.

Lin Yao looked at the backs of the two of them and shook his head suspiciously.

The reception method of this shop is a little special, this boss is quite big, and he has to bring a left and right protector!

Subsequently, Lin Yao set his sights on the boss again.

"Hello, I'm here to find out something about you."

"Okay, no problem. It's noisy in this hall, let's go over there."

Then, the boss led Lin Yao to a clean place.

The waiter just now also came over.

"Let me ask, Bai Ling is from your hotel

Waitress?"

Then, Lin Yao stared at him and asked directly.

"Bai Ling?"

The boss's brows furrowed slightly, and after a little thought, he nodded and said:

"Yes, she's from our hotel, but she hasn't been to work in the past few days. Her boyfriend seems to have had an accident."

"Well, I know she didn't come to work, I want to ask, how many years has she been with you?"

Lin Yao nodded and continued to ask.

"I've been working with us for years, three or four years."

The boss said directly.

"After all this time, you must know her well, right?"

"This should be fine."

The boss said hesitantly.

"What's the matter, Uncle Policeman, what's the matter?"

At this time, the waiter on the side looked at Lin Yao with a gossip and asked.

Lin Yao turned his head to look at her.

Then, the waiter hurriedly said:

"That's right, Uncle Policeman, I've also been working in our hotel for five years, this Bai Ling is my little sister, I still know her well."

"That's right, okay, tell me what you think of Bai Ling."

Lin Yao took out a small notebook from his body, stared at the waiter and said.

"She's a person. It's okay, it's pretty good to play with our little sisters."

"And then the personality is quite lively, and I haven't done anything bad."

"Overall, she's not bad."

The waiter said as he thought.

Lin Yao stared at her and said:

"I'm asking you questions now, don't think about anything else, tell me the truth about everything."

"Well, I know, I didn't say this to say nice things to her or anything, but it was true, and I didn't say nonsense."

When the waiter heard this, he nodded again and again and said to Lin Yao.

"Okay, so do you understand the problem with her and her boyfriend?"

Then, Lin Yao stared at her again and asked.

"She and her boyfriend?"

Hearing this question, the waiter frowned and shook his head slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yao couldn't help asking.

"Didn't her boyfriend have an accident some time ago? Actually, I just watched them together."

The waiter pouted.

"Oh? Why?"

Hearing her say this, Lin Yao couldn't help but be interested, so he continued to ask.

At this time, the boss on the side saw that he had nothing to do, so he said to Lin Yao:

"Comrade policeman, you guys are talking here, I still have something to do over there, go over first!"

"Okay, you're busy, you're in trouble."

Lin Yao looked at him and smiled.

After the boss left, Lin Yao's gaze returned to the waiter.

"Uncle policeman, what I told you, don't tell Bai Ling that I said it!"

The waiter looked at Lin Yao and said with some scruples.

"Well, you can rest assured and tell me everything you know."

Lin Yao said directly.

"Ahem, that's the main thing."

The waiter coughed lightly, and then spoke,

"Bai Ling, what do you say, she is really good, I didn't say it."

"But there are some things she does in this regard that I really can't look at."

"What did she do, tell me quickly."

Lin Yao asked.

"You really won't tell her? After all, it's her privacy."

The waiter still looked at Lin Yao uncomfortably and confirmed again.
