The landlord is a middle-aged man in his forties, not tall, and a little bald on the top of his head, but he is still quite nice.

Before he came, Ling Hang had investigated this landlord, who originally had an average family background, but later became rich by demolition, and was divided into two suites, as well as tens of millions of demolition fees.

The landlord didn't squander, but paid for a down payment on two houses, and then paid the mortgage in installments.

After getting the house, I rented it out, and I could pay off the mortgage by earning rent, and by the way, I could support my family.

Later, he made some money one after another, all of which was used to buy a house, rent it out, collect rent and repay the loan.

There are more than a dozen properties under the name of S City, and now the family is relatively good, but it is quite frugal.

This person got married early, and his wife was originally squatting at home, and later opened a beauty shop in the city center.

The two have a daughter who has just turned 20 and is now in college.

……

The police were suspicious of the landlord at first.

Han Rumei is single, lives alone, and is a newcomer, so it is easy to become the target of those extralegal fanatics.

However, the landlord's reputation is really good, there are several houses in the outer ring under his name, the rent has not risen, usually the tenant encounters any problems, call him, and he will soon help solve it, and his house has always been rented.

The landlord had also received a pennant of "righteousness and courage" given to him by the public security before.

Because the police arrested a criminal gang involved in drugs, the other party wanted to rob a car on the street, but he was seriously injured by his car.

Afterward......

He should be regarded as the first person to report Han Rumei's disappearance.

……

Ling Hang asked, "After Han Rumei disappeared, didn't you feel anything abnormal?" ”

The landlord sat on the sofa and sighed, "When I was supposed to pay the fourth month's rent, I found out that she was gone." I called her for a week, but it was turned off, and I didn't reply to her WeChat message, so I finally found someone to pick the lock. ”

"As soon as I looked at the room, I knew she must have not been back for a long time."

"I don't know what happened to her, anyway, the food in the refrigerator is hairy, and the garbage in the trash can stinks, and I was quite angry. After all, a good house, as well as the household appliances equipped, are all rented to her cleanly, but she made it like this, and no one was angry. ”

"But her luggage is gone, I thought she didn't want to renew the lease, or something happened and moved out without telling me......"

"Didn't you think about reporting the crime?" Ling Hang felt strange.

"When you encounter this kind of thing, you should consider calling the police, right?"

The landlord pursed his lips, his expression was a little heavy, and he said slowly: "I didn't think about it so much at the time, because the house was messy, so I hated that girl a little, and after changing the door lock, I spent money to find a cleaner to clean the house again, because during that time my mother-in-law spent a lot of money in hospitalization, so I thought about renting out the house as soon as possible and continuing to earn rent and repay the loan." ”

"Afterwards, I thought it wasn't right, but the house had been cleaned and the new tenants had moved in, and my wife told me if I wanted to go to the police station and I went."

"At that time, it seemed that an old policeman surnamed Zhang answered the police, I told him the situation, and he said that he might have moved away, but he was willing to help me find Han Rumei to determine if there was an accident with this girl. Because the police were willing to take charge of this, I was relieved at the time and quickly left it behind. ”

"Who knows that after two or three months, the policeman called me and said that someone reported that Han Rumei was missing."

"It seems to be her parents, when the police brought them to me, I led them to the house to have a look, but they really didn't leave any personal belongings, only a set of clothes hanging on the balcony, I put them in a bag and put them in the storeroom, and handed them over at that time."

The landlord sat on the sofa with a look of guilt: "I...... I really didn't think the girl was actually killed. ”

"The security of that community is quite responsible......"

After knowing from the police that Han Rumei was born and did not see his body, he felt regretful.

At that time, it should not be so impulsive, at least the house should be kept as much as possible to see if the police can extract any evidence.

But it's all too late.

Because of this matter, his conscience has been disturbed for several years, and this house is still located near the city center, and he is stunned that the rent has not been raised again.

Ling Hang didn't say anything more.

Put yourself in their shoes, most of them are ordinary people, and they may never encounter this kind of murder in their lifetime.

With most of the luggage packed and the house in a mess, who wouldn't be angry.

It's impossible to think the worst right away.

This man has done everything he can.

……

There are very few clues in Han Rumei's case.

Because it was a little late when she was found missing, the community surveillance was covered once a month, and no useful surveillance could be found.

All traces of the house were also swept by the landlord, and it is not known whether she was attacked at home or elsewhere.

The police could only look for clues from the place where the bodies were buried.

The place was in the middle of nowhere, and the body had been hidden for years before it was discovered, and no one else could be found.

After Ling Hang's visit and investigation, he went directly back to the police station to see if the doctor could find any clues.

After the forensic doctor came out with the autopsy identification report, he looked at Ling Hang, who was sitting on the chair and distracted, and directly handed him the report, raising his eyebrows slightly: "Look, there should be the clues you want in it." ”

Ling Hang put down the cup and immediately opened the report to look through it.

The forensic doctor leaned on the table and said unhurriedly: "The evidence you can get from your investigation is very limited, and now you can only see what evidence is left on the corpse." ”

Ling Hang looked at the appraisal results and said unexpectedly: "The cause of death ...... Tend to mechanical asphyxia? ”

The forensic doctor bowed slightly: "Although the corpse is ossified, because it is buried relatively deep, the preservation is relatively complete, and the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage of the corpse are seriously fractured, and even the cervical vertebrae are damaged." ”

The forensic doctor gave him an analogy, raised his hand and pressed his fingers on the back of his neck: "It is very likely...... The deceased struggled violently and was strangled with a rope over his knee against the back of his neck. ”

"The murderer has a lot of strength." The forensic doctor pointed to the data on the report, "Han Rumei is at least 1.7 meters tall, she is a relatively well-proportioned woman, although she looks weak and weak, but her parents said that she would go for a morning run every morning, and she also practiced sanda for a while when she was a child, so she is definitely not the kind of woman who is completely powerless." ”

"There is a high probability that the murderer was a man."

Ling Hang: "Can't extract fingerprints, non-deceased DNA and other information?" ”

"Nope."

The forensic doctor shook his head and looked at his computer screen: "Do you still think Xiao Silun is more likely to be the murderer?" ”

Ling Hang nodded: "I have read the file of Han Rumei's disappearance case before, after her parents reported the case, the police have come to the door to find Xiao Silun many times, but Xiao Silun has always denied that he has not been to S City, so he will not admit that he is related to Han Rumei's disappearance." ”

Forensic doctor: "How did Xiao Silun and Han Rumei meet?" ”

Ling Hang leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Xiao Silun met her through one of Han Rumei's high school classmates. ”

"The man's name is Lenvic."

Medical examiner: "Have you been in contact with this person?" ”

Ling Hang shook his head: "This person has settled in S City now, but he has been on a business trip recently. ”

"Xiao Silun also moved to Shacheng."

"I called Lian Vich in the morning, and he said that after Han Rumei disappeared, he had no contact with Xiao Silun again."

"Why?" The medical examiner asked.

Ling Hang pondered for a few seconds, with a bit of depth and mockery between his eyebrows, and said in a shallow voice: "He also suspects that Xiao Silun killed Han Rumei." ”

"It's not strange to you, I just went to check Lian Wei's work unit, he is a creative director in a private company, and the owner of that private company is now Xiao Silun's brother-in-law, and in the past three or four years, he has been promoted very quickly, from ordinary marketing sales, quickly became a sales team leader, and then transferred to the marketing department, and soon jumped to the position of creative director."

The point is that it's not a small company.

Many people can't move once in their original positions for two or three years.

An employee at the same time as Lian Wei also complained privately that this business ability was not very good.

In a private company of this size, can you climb so fast just by slapping the horse?

"Han Rumei's body was dug up from the grove yesterday morning, and the case has not yet been announced to the public...... It just so happened to be Sand City. ”

The forensic doctor pursed his lips, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled: "It seems that your kid has found a breakthrough." ”
