"This picture is a bit old, but have you seen a person who looks like this person lately?"

After staring at the photo, the man raised his face to look at Tian Chunda. "I don't know this man."

"I think so, so I'm just asking if you've seen anyone like that."

"Where?"

"No, it's just an analogy, like around here."

The man frowned and looked down at the photo again. It seems that there is no hope, Tian Chunda thought.

"I don't know." The man said. "If it's just passing by on the road, then I won't remember what I look like."

It seems that he shouldn't have asked this person at all, and Tian Chunda regretted it very much. "Excuse me, do you usually come back at this time?"

"No, it depends on the day, and sometimes club activities will be delayed late."

"Club activities?"

"I am a member of an amateur martial arts group and sometimes participate in events."

"Ah, what's your profession?"

"High School Teacher." The man was named Colonel.

At this time, Tian Chunda saw a bunch of math reference books placed next to the entrance. It turned out to be a math teacher.

"Ask your name, please."

"My name is Shi Lei"

"So Mr. Shi, what time did you come back on March 10th?"

"March 10th? What happened that day? ”

"We're just asking."

"Oh, really? March 10th......" Shi Lei looked into the distance, and then immediately returned his gaze to Tian Chunda. "I remember coming back immediately after work that day, it must have been around seven o'clock."

"At that time, was there any movement next door?"

"Next door?"

"It's Liu Jing's house." Tian Chunda lowered his voice.

"Did something happen to Liu Jing?"

"No, I don't know yet, that's why I need to find out."

A speculative expression appeared on Shi Lei's face, perhaps because he began to guess about the mother and daughter next door. Tian Chunda judged that this person was still single according to the appearance of the room.

"I don't remember much, but I guess there wasn't anything out of the ordinary." Shi Lei replied.

"Do you hear any noise, or the sound of talking?"

"I don't know," Shi Lei tilted his head sideways, "I'm not impressed." ”

"Are you familiar with Liu Jing?"

"We're neighbors, so we'll naturally say hello when we meet, that's probably it."

"I see. Sorry to interrupt your rest. ”

Shi Lei waited for the criminal police to leave the house for ten minutes. He glanced at the next room to make sure the window in Room 204 was lit before going downstairs.

It would take nearly ten minutes to find an unobtrusive payphone. He has a cell phone, but he thinks it's better not to use it now.

As he walked, he recalled his conversation with the detective. He was sure that he had not provided any clues enough for the police to find out about his relationship with the case, but he was not afraid of 10,000 just in case. The police should have thought that they needed a man's help to dispose of the body, and they would inevitably be in a hurry to find out Liu Jing's mother and daughter's side, and which man might not hesitate to commit a crime for them. Shi Lei, a math teacher, is also likely to be targeted by the police just because he lives next door.

It is very dangerous to go to her house in the future, and even have to avoid meeting directly, Shi Lei thought. The reason why they don't call from home is for the same reason. Because the police may have found through the call records that he frequently called Liu Jing.

There is also the "Everyday Food" snack bar where Liu Jing works, I used to go there to eat light meals, first, the food there is really good, and second, I can meet Liu Jing there. Do you want to go in the future?

He has yet to come to a conclusion about this matter. As a matter of common sense, it's best not to go for a while. However, sooner or later, the criminal police will go to the small restaurant to inquire about the situation, and then they may hear from the people in the store that the math teacher who lives next door to Liu Jing comes to buy light meals almost every day. In this case, if you suddenly don't come after the crime, but look suspicious, it may not arouse suspicion as before.

Regarding this question, Shi Lei was not sure that he would propose the most logical answer. That's because he knows that he longs to "eat every day" as before, because that's the only intersection between Liu Jing and him. If he didn't go to that little restaurant, he wouldn't see her.

When he arrived at the public phone booth, he inserted his calling card. He dialed Liu Jing's mobile phone number.

"Hello?" Liu Jing's voice came.

"I'm Shi Lei. The detective came to my house just now, so I think he should have been to yours too, right? ”

"yes, I just came."

"What did they ask?"

Shi Lei organized, analyzed, and memorized what Liu Jing said in his mind, and it seems that the police did not particularly suspect Liu Jing at this stage, and the alibi certificate for interrogating her should be just a routine procedure.

However, once Zhang Fu's course of action is found out and he has come to Liu Jing, the criminal police will surely attack her with a big change in face, and first of all, they should be held accountable for saying that she has not seen Zhang Fu's confession recently. But he had already instructed her on how to defend against it.

"Has your daughter seen the detectives too?"

"No, Xiaomei stays in the inner room."

"But sooner or later, they'll also ask Xiaomei for questioning. I've already said what to do when the time comes. ”

"Yes, you ordered it carefully, and she herself was fine."

"I want to emphasize again that there is no need to act, just answer the other party's questions mechanically."

"Yes, I've told Xiaomei about this too."

"Also, have you shown the movie ticket stub to the detective?"

"No, I didn't show them today. Because you said that you don't have to take it out until the other party asks for it. ”

"That's right, where did you put the ticket stub?"

"In a drawer."

"It's still in the movie synopsis, no one will keep the movie ticket stub carefully, and it will look suspicious if it is placed in a drawer."

"I see."

"By the way," Shi Lei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and held the microphone hard, "Did the people at the 'Everyday Food' store notice that I often go to buy light meals?" In other words, what do the people in the store think about the fact that the man next door to you often comes to buy light meals? This is very important, please be honest with me. ”

"Well, the store manager also said that you are willing to come often, and he can't be happy."

"They know I'm your neighbor, right?"

"Right......

"That's it." Shi Lei took the microphone away from his ear.

"Ah, Mr. Shi, please wait a minute." Liu Jing stopped him.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Thank you for taking the trouble everywhere, I will always remember your kindness."

Her last words made his blood boil. The hot cheeks were blown by the cold wind, and even the armpits were sweating. She said she would remember me for the rest of her life, so would she be with me for the rest of her life because of gratitude? When he thought of this, Shi Lei's heart became even hotter. He has a withdrawn personality, is not sociable, and his appearance is not good, so he is still a bachelor in his thirties. But ever since he met this female neighbor, he has a crush on her. If you can marry this beautiful and gentle woman, you will be satisfied for the rest of your life. So, he had to do everything he could to protect her.

Shi Lei embarked on the way home with a heart full of happiness, but his joy did not last long, because he realized that he had made a mistake in front of the criminal police. When the criminal police asked him about his relationship with Liu Jing, he replied that he only said hello occasionally, and that he should have told her about going to the store where she worked to buy light meals at that time.

After dinner at home, Shi Lei sat on the sofa and pondered. The criminal policemen seemed to have come to Liu Jing again last night, it was the two criminal policemen who had also come to Shi Lei before, and he still remembered that the name Tian Chunda was written on the police ID.

According to Liu Jing, they came to confirm the alibi from the cinema as expected. They asked Liu Jing if anything impressive happened in the movie theater? Did you meet anyone in the cinema and out of the cinema...... Wait a minute.

The police didn't ask about the KTV at all, so it can be seen that the part has been verified. But of course they found it, because Shi Lei deliberately chose that place.

Liu Jing showed the movie ticket stub to the criminal police in the order instructed by Shi Lei, except for the plot of the movie, she claimed that she couldn't think of any other issues, and acted completely according to Shi Lei's guidance in advance.

Liu Jing said that the criminal police left like this, but he didn't believe that they would give up easily, and would come to verify the alibi certificate of the movie theater, perhaps it should be explained as: The police found clues that were enough to suspect Liu Jing, what kind of clues would it be?

Shi Lei got up and picked up his coat, and went out with a phone card, wallet, and room key.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, there was a sound of footsteps below. He slowed his pace and lowered his head slightly.
