Chapter 12: Clues
Zhang Yichi was almost in a mess, because he knew very well what Li Xiangnian and the head teacher meant by saying this. It seems that Li Xiangnian has initially doubted whether the person under surveillance is really Lu Tao, if he is allowed to investigate deeply, Zhang Yichi will soon re-enter Li Xiangnian's sight in another identity.
Seeing that the head teacher was about to open his mouth to ask what he was doing, Zhang Yichi quietly adjusted his state and spoke in advance: "It may be that he has encountered problems with the monitoring, and he is afraid that he will treat others as Lu Tao to check indiscriminately." ”
"Hmm......" The head teacher replied casually, looking a little disappointed by such a statement.
"Teacher, I'll go to the toilet first, I'll have class later." Zhang Yichi didn't want to stay here and talk to the head teacher about meaningless things, so he found a reason to leave.
The head teacher also felt that he couldn't ask for any useful information from Zhang Yichi's side, so he asked Zhang Yichi to leave.
Zhang Yichi went to the toilet and returned to the classroom and began to think about a solution.
……
Li Xiangnian returned to the bureau and sorted out all the information and ideas he currently has.
"Ahem!" He coughed breathlessly, and took a sip of hot water to ease it slightly.
The road map of Lu Tao's departure from Zhang Yichi's house is very clear, and even the time point under each camera has been marked. The end of the line was finally broken near the grove next to the Yonghe community, and at this point, Lu Tao evaporated from the world, and there was no clue.
"Ahem...... ...... "Li Xiangnian took out his mobile phone and repeatedly looked at the surveillance video of 'Lu Tao' coming out of Zhang Yichi's house.
He decided to go to the hospital to find Lu Tao's mother. But at this moment, he was extremely tired, and after a few days of running back and forth, his body had reached its limit.
……
"Don't you always say you're a detective? Don't you often say that you have solved some big case? But why can't I catch the murderer of my mother? You can't catch the bad guys at all! ”
……
Thinking of the disappointment on his daughter's face at that time, the daughter who used to adore and beg him every night to tell him about the wonderful process of solving the case, and the self who was once high-spirited and had a bright future no longer exists.
You can't catch the bad guys at all.
He has solved many big cases, but he has never caught the murderer of his wife, and the beauty that his daughter has always believed in was destroyed by himself.
"Ahem......"
Li Xiangnian thought about it again and again, but still lit a cigarette.

Thursday, May 11.
Li Xiangnian came to the hospital early in the morning and saw Lu Tao's mother in the ward. It was a middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion and a body that had been devastated by countless dialysis cycles and lost her luster and vitality.
"Officer Li......" Lu's mother wanted to get up.
Li Xiangnian hurriedly walked over to help him lie down, "You don't need to get up, your body is important." ”
"Officer, how is Xiao Tao, why haven't you found it yet......" Lu Mu couldn't wait to ask.
"......" Li Xiangnian considered his rhetoric, "I've found it soon, don't worry, the child will be fine." ”
"Then I'm relieved, thank you, officer." The worry on Lu Mu's face faded a lot.
When Li Xiangnian saw the changes in Lu's mother, he felt a little uncomfortable and guilty inexplicably. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the recorded surveillance video: "I came here today to ask you for a favor, you can take a look at this video." ”
The video is the one where 'Lu Tao' came out of Zhang Yichi's house.
"Is this Lu Tao?" Li Xiangnian asked.
Lu's mother was in a trance at first, because this person's school uniform, schoolbag, shoes, and glasses were exactly the same as Lu Tao's, but from the very beginning of the video, she felt that this person was not Lu Tao.
It's the same dress as his son, but he doesn't look like his son.
"I don't feel like he's Lu Tao, but ......" Lu Mu was very entangled.
Li Xiangnian heard the words he was most willing to hear and the most unwilling to hear: "But the dress is Lu Tao's dress again, right?" ”
"...... right"
"Now, don't care about clothes, shoes and school bags, just look at this person, is he Lu Tao?" After Li Xiangnian finished speaking, he pursed his lips, nervously waiting for Lu Mu's final answer.
"This isn't my son."
Rumble!
It seems that there is a thunderbolt in my heart!
Li Xiangnian swallowed instinctively, and after a few seconds, the buzzing in his head gradually subsided, but with it, there were even more terrible palpitations.
"I see......"
"What's the matter, officer, does this video have anything to do with Lu Tao?"
“……”

Night
Zhang Yichi was on his way home from evening self-study when he met Li Xiangnian, who was waiting for him.
He found that Li Xiangnian's eyes had changed slightly when he looked at him. How far did he break through the case? Zhang Yichi couldn't figure it out.
"Are you waiting for me?" Zhang Yichi asked.
"Yes." Li Xiangnian nodded slightly, "Let's talk while we go." ”
The two walked towards Zhang Yichi's house together. Li Xiangnian took out a notebook, and by the light of the street lamp, he asked Zhang Yichi: "Did you leave home last Saturday?" ”
"I went out and bought instant noodles at night." Zhang Yichi replied. He didn't know which was the best way to deal with it, and the whole person seemed a little absent-minded.
"Did you go out on Sunday?" Li Xiangnian asked.
"Nope."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"This is the surveillance video downstairs of your house, when it was close to twelve o'clock on Sunday, a person came out, you see who this is." Li Xiangnian handed the phone to Zhang Yichi.
Zhang Yichi took the phone and looked at it, and it was the scene that came out disguised as Lu Tao: "Lu Tao." ”
"Are you sure it's Lu Tao?" Li Xiangnian said in a deep voice.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Tao?" Zhang Yichi returned the phone to Li Xiangnian.
Saying that, the two had arrived in front of the unit building where Zhang Yichi was, Zhang Yichi raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to go up and continue chatting?" ”
"No need." Li Xiangnian looked at Zhang Yichi, who was standing in front of the door of the unit.
"Then I'll go up first." Zhang Yichi turned around and left.
Li Xiangnian's pupils shrank, and he walked forward quickly: "Wait." ”
When Zhang Yichi turned around, Li Xiangnian had already arrived at the basement door of the corridor, and he asked, "Is this the door to enter the basement?" ”
“…… I don't know, I don't know. Zhang Yichi was a little unnatural.
"Do you have the key?" Li Xiangnian asked again.
"I don't know, I rented this house, and I really don't know if the landlord gave me the key to the basement, or should I go upstairs to find it?"
Li Xiangnian shook his head: "No need." It's getting late, so go home and rest. ”
"Okay." Continuing to stay here would arouse Li Xiangnian's suspicions even more, and Zhang Yichi chose to go upstairs as if he didn't care at all.
When Zhang Yichi went upstairs, Li Xiangnian went out of the corridor.
He glanced at the time, nine eleven. The purpose of his trip was to ask Zhang Yichi a few words, and the other purpose was to practice the bold idea in his heart.
