"Isn't he married yet?"

"Yes. Because of his serious work and good character, there are many people who come to act as matchmakers for him, but he refuses. ”

When the old woman said this, she suddenly lowered her voice and said: "Because he has an intention in Nanguang, he can't forget that woman, unfortunately, that woman has already married other men." ”

"A woman from Nanguang?"

"Four or five days ago, there was also a person like you who asked me about Mr. Guan Lin."

"Oh?" Tian Chunda couldn't help but shout. That person is probably Egami Feng, right?

Tian Chunda hurriedly took the photo of Jiang Shangfeng in front of the old woman and said, "Is it this person?" ”

"Yes." The old woman nodded affirmatively. "It's this person."

"What did he ask you about?"

"Like you, ask me about Mr. Guan Lin's personality and life. Do you want to be a matchmaker for him too? ”

"Yes." Tian Chunda left the cigarette shop with an ambiguous smile. As soon as he came outside, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Jiang Shangfeng really came to Dongyang.

He only inquired about Guan Lin's personality near Guanjingzhuang, and did not stay at Guanjingzhuang, so it can be seen that he was staying in another hotel, which should not be too far from here.

Tian Chunda's family investigated the nearby hotels one by one. The first two or three did not gain anything, and the fourth did not have eyebrows, and as the distance widened, Tian Chunda's hopes gradually dimmed, and it was not until the sixth "Dongcheng" hotel that there was no response.

"I did see this man five days ago morning." The middle-aged innkeeper said as he looked at the photo. "He claimed to be Mr. Akizza from Namko."

"Chuzer?"

It seems that Jiang Shangfeng is using a fake name to stay in the hotel, I'm afraid he doesn't want to be known by Guan Lin, right? Maybe it's because he doesn't want to startle the snake and attract Guan Lin's attention so that he can find evidence of murder. If you think so, you can explain why Jiang Shangfeng didn't go directly to Guanjingzhuang to visit Guan Lin.

"How many days did this man named Qiu Ze stay overnight?"

"He stayed at the hotel on November 22, and at noon on the 24th, he said that he was going out for a walk, and as soon as he went out, he did not come back, because he had already paid for the accommodation for three days, so it didn't matter, not to mention that his luggage was still here."

"Are you saying that he arrived on the morning of the 22nd and disappeared after noon on the 24th?"

"Yes."

"What did he do during this time?"

"First he asked about all kinds of things about the Guanjingzhuang Hotel, and then he went out a lot, and he said that he liked to walk around."

"Anything else?"

"Yes. He said he wanted a map of Dongyang City, so I gave him one. He said he wanted to visit Jeondongyang. ”

"Did he say anything when he left the hotel on November 24?"

"When he was about to leave the house, I asked him if he wanted to come back for dinner in the evening, and he said that he would probably come back very late and told me not to prepare dinner for him. Do you think it's better for me to call the police? ”

"Nope." Tian Chunda said. "It's better not to call the police, maybe he's back to Nanguang."

"But his luggage ......"

"Can you show me?"

"Yes."

The innkeeper took out a brown travel bag from inside, unlocked it, and Tian Chunda unzipped it.

There was nothing he was looking for in it, only a change of clothes, toiletries and a map of Dongyang, and there should be Hong Limin's diary, but after rummaging through the duffel bag, he couldn't find it, Jiang Shangfeng probably left the hotel with the diary, right?

"Did you give him this map?"

"Yes."

Tian Chunda opened the map and saw that it was a one-meter-square street map. Tian Chunda wondered if Jiang Shangfeng would record anything on it, or make any mark, so he looked at it very carefully, but there was nothing.

"When did he say he wanted the map?" Tian Chunda asked. "Is it the day you arrived?"

"It's not." The innkeeper shook his head and said. "It's the evening of the next day."

"The ...... of the Twenty-Three Days"

Tian Chunda felt a little surprised. Asking for a map not on the day of arrival, but in the evening of the next day, what the hell is going on? I can't figure it out.

Tian Chunda asked the boss to keep the travel bag for the time being, and then left the hotel.

There are only two things that we know about Jiang Shangfeng, one is that Jiang Shangfeng really came to Dongyang, and the other is that Jiang Shangfeng was still alive at noon on November 24.

On November 24, where did Jiang Shangfeng leave the hotel and go? The first thing that came to mind was whether he would go to meet Guan Lin and be killed by Guan Lin?

However, this thought gave rise to the problem that Jiang Shangfeng did not visit the viewing village or call Guan Lin.

Tian Chunda didn't know how Jiang Shangfeng got in touch with Guan Lin? Could it be that he was lying in ambush near Guanjingzhuang and waiting for Guan Lin to go out? If so, why would it be so?

Tian Chunda returned to the hotel with this question.

Lunch is the famous local oyster rice. Tian Chunda asked the waitress who delivered the food about Guan Lin's whereabouts on November 24.

"Twenty-four?" The young waitress said with a slight frown.

Maybe she thinks I'm a questioning guest. Tian Chunda thought so.

"Yes. On the afternoon of the 24th, did Guan Lin go out? ”

"He only went out on the 24th, and the young little boss went out to run errands every afternoon."

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know what I'm doing, but I think it's mostly with the tourism association and the city government."

"What time will you be back?"

"Not necessarily, sometimes I come back at two o'clock, sometimes I don't come back until late at night."

"Do you want to go out today?"

"No, because today he is going to entertain you."

After hearing this, Tian Chunda remembered what Guan Lin said. Tian Chunda thought for a while and said: "This may not be good for Guan Lin, but I still hope that you will turn to Guan Lin and say that I want to walk around alone in the afternoon, and then trouble him to take me to visit the ancient city of Dongyang in the future." ”

"Okay." The waitress said with a slight frown again.

Maybe she thinks I'm not only inquisitive, but also a wayward guest. Tian Chunda thought so.

When the waitress left the room, Tian Chunda couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Tian Chunda finished his meal, rested, and took the city bus to the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Dongyang Public Security Bureau.

Tian Chunda handed out his police card and said that he had something to see the detachment leader. The captain of the Dongyang Criminal Investigation Detachment was about fifty years old, with an amiable face, and seemed to be a little surprised to come out to greet Tian Chunda.

"I have something I want to trouble you." Tian Chunda said very sincerely. "I'm afraid this is a bit of a problem."

"What's the matter?"
