At eight o'clock in the morning of the 27th, Xinxiang Township investigated for nearly two days and finally had a harvest.

In the innermost part of the new township, there is an old street. Many of the houses on the street are now vacant, and the original residents have now moved to the new street outside.

Sun Jinhai lives at the end of that old street, in a two-story house.

The reason why they were able to find it was because they couldn't find a clue, and they were worried that something would be missing, so they went all over the town again. When they walked to the old street, they happened to meet an old man at the door to enjoy the coolness, so they stepped forward to ask, but they didn't expect that this thing that had no hope suddenly had an unexpected joy.

The old man recognized Sun Jinhai at a glance.

He pointed to the depths of the old street and said, "The man lives in the innermost part of the street, in the house with a big camphor tree at the door."

After the visiting police passed, they did not dare to enter the house for fear of destroying the clues inside. Until Xu Mingzhi and the others arrived, the two were still guarding there.

The house is very old, and the door is still the old wooden door, locked with a small lock, and it didn't take much effort to break it.

On the first floor, several of the windows were broken, and the newspaper was pasted. There are four rooms in the front and back, and some sundries are piled up, but obviously no one lives in them, and the dust has accumulated a thick layer.

In the middle of the west side of the staircase, you can see many traces of life when you go up.

Sun Jinhai should have lived in the bedroom in the southeast, on an old wooden bed of 1.5 meters, with quilts and clothes piled up, messy and dirty. In the corner of the room, against the window, there is a blue two-seater, and there is a glass coffee table in front of it. The coffee table was littered with all kinds of garbage and debris.

Xu Mingzhi soon found a suspected drug crystalline on it, which should have been accidentally spilled by Sun Jinhai when he was taking drugs.

While Xu Mingzhi was looking at the things on the coffee table, Yu Guang stood by the bed and flipped up the clothes on the bed. Soon, he carried one of the black T-shirts and said to Xu Mingzhi without looking back: "There should be two people living here." ”

Hearing this, Xu Mingzhi turned his head and looked at him.

Yu Guang picked up a piece of clothing that he had just thrown aside, turned to Xu Mingzhi and said, "The clothes here are two sizes, one L size and one XXL. Sun Jinhai is more than 1.8 meters tall, and in the surveillance video, the skeleton is not small, even if taking drugs will make people thinner, he should still not be able to wear this L size. The murderer who went to Zhu Mingyu's house with him should be the one who lived here with him. With that, he turned around and rummaged again.

It's not a big house, and it won't take long to go through it all.

After a while, there was a new harvest here.

He found Sun Jinhai's ID card. But there is only Sun Jinhai's, and there is no other person.

Moreover, he also found that the other person's clothes only had two pieces, and the others were Sun Jinhai's.

In other words, the other person may have other places to stay, and it is likely that he will only stay for one night once in a while.

The two searched for a while, but found nothing else. After coming out of the house, the police had already invited the old man who had provided clues before.

When the old man saw a bunch of policemen, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and asked tremblingly, "Could that young man be a wanted criminal?" ”

After Xu Mingzhi shook his head and said no, Wen Sheng asked him: "Uncle, in addition to the person they asked before, have you seen anyone else enter this house?" ”

Uncle shook his head: "No." ”

Xu Mingzhi couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this.

But then the uncle said: "However, this young man seems to know the son of the owner of the Laixi hardware store on the new street in front." ”

As soon as these words fell, the disappointments that had just surfaced in Xu Ming's heart were suddenly swept away.

"Have you seen them together?" Xu Mingzhi asked.

The uncle nodded: "Just the first two days, it was hot that night, I couldn't sleep, and I took a cool ride on the balcony on the second floor, about ten o'clock, just in time to see him and the young man walking out of here together." ”

When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

When they came over just now, Xu Mingzhi paid attention to the situation on this street, there were a total of two street lights on this street, one on the street and one in the middle.

This street is like an alley, and at night, where there is no light, it must be dark. The old man is also old, can he still see a person so accurately?

"Are you sure you're right?" Xu Mingzhi asked uncomfortably.

The uncle seemed a little unhappy when he was questioned, and snorted: "That kid, there is no one on our street who doesn't know any of these old residents." This house belongs to his uncle, and he has always come before. ”

Uncle's house?

Xu Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at Yu Guang, and both of them had a look of clarity in their eyes.

In this case, it explains why Sun Jinhai lived here.

"Then did his uncle's family move out a long time ago?" Xu Mingzhi asked the uncle again.

The uncle nodded: "It's been more than ten years since I moved away!" Earlier, it was rented to others to do business, but in the past two years, the business has become worse and worse, so the boss will stop doing it, and the house will be empty. ”

Then Sun Jinhai took advantage of the loophole! After Xu Ming said secretly in his heart, he asked the name of the owner of the house and the name of the son of the owner of the hardware store.

The name of the owner of the house can be answered, and he said that he is calling Shen Donglai. But he couldn't tell the name of the hardware store owner's son.

The uncle said that the owner of the hardware store is called Shen Laixi, and he is Shen Donglai's younger brother.

Shen Laixi's son, he only knows the nickname, Shunshun. I don't remember what the big name is, but I vaguely remember that it seems to be quite awkward.

After sending off the uncle, Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang quickly went to the Laixi hardware store on Xinjie.

The location of the hardware store is good, just diagonally opposite the exit of the vegetable market.

Before entering, the information about Shen Laixi's son had been sent to Xu Mingzhi's mobile phone. Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang both looked at it before they walked in.

There are customers in the store.

The two waited for a while, until the guest had left, and then stepped forward.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his fifties, chubby, not tall, and shy. Seeing Xu Mingzhi and the others, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and asked, "What do you two want to buy?" ”

Xu Mingzhi went straight to the point and came out directly with his documents.

When the boss saw it, he was stunned. Then, some panic flashed across his face.

"Shen Laixi, is it?" Xu Mingzhi asked.

Shen Laixi cautiously looked at the expressions of Xu Mingzhi and the others, and nodded in response: "It's me, do you two have anything to do with me?" ”

"Your son's name is Shen Qiche, right?"

The panic on Shen Laixi's face suddenly became a little thicker, he didn't nod or shake his head, he just asked tremblingly: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Xu Mingzhi looked at him like this, and suddenly understood what the uncle meant, 'There is no one on our street who doesn't know these old residents'.

It is estimated that this Shen Qiche should have caused trouble since he was a child.

However, in the personal file sent before, there was no criminal record of Shen Qiche.

"Do you know where he is now?" Xu Mingzhi asked him.

Shen Laixi hesitated.

Xu Mingzhi frowned: "What are you hesitating about!" Say whatever the situation is, don't try to lie! ”

Shen Laixi hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't want to lie, but I don't know where he is!" He hadn't been home for days. ”

This is the expected answer. Xu Mingzhi was not surprised, and asked again: "Then have you contacted him?" ”

Shen Laixi shook his head at first, but then turned into a nod.

"I called him, but I couldn't get through. He often does, though. When he's not coming home, he often can't be reached. Shen Laixi said.

It's normal if people can't be contacted, and it's not normal when they are connected. After Xu Mingzhi muttered to himself, he asked Shen Laixi again: "Do you know the owner of the Mingyu packaging shop on the West Tea Street?" ”

Almost before Xu Mingzhi's words landed, Shen Laixi shook his head. This gesture of being anxious to clear up the relationship couldn't help but make Xu Mingzhihu suspicious.

He stared at him: "Are you sure you don't know?" Do you know what the consequences of lying are? ”

Shen Laixi looked flustered, but he still said, "I really don't know." Tea Street is separated from us by a provincial road, and we rarely go there, so how can we know each other. However, I already heard about the accident in their family yesterday. Shimoda Village is not far from here, and this kind of thing spreads very quickly. As he spoke, he probably thought of something, and suddenly his expression changed suddenly, and the whole person even had a posture of being unstable, his eyes were staring at Xu Mingzhi, and there was even a look of pleading in his eyes: "My son, he ...... When you come to ask me about my son, will it be...... He's got something to do with it, right? ”

Xu Mingzhi didn't say yes, and he didn't say no.

He just asked in a deep voice, "Can I go to your house and see your son's room?" ”

Shen Laixi hesitated and refused to speak.

Xu Mingzhi guessed his thoughts, and said coldly: "It's useless if you don't agree to this now." I'm asking you, and that's all you need to know. ”

Shen Laixi's face suddenly turned pale.

After a while, he hung his head, and the spirit of his whole person seemed to be gone at this moment.

"Then you wait a minute, I'll close the store and take you there." After he finished speaking, he turned around and went behind the counter to pack his things.

Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang stood there waiting, seeing him holding his mobile phone and wanting to make a call, Xu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and reminded: "I advise you not to make this call." ”

Shen Laixi looked up at Xu Mingzhi as if he was frightened, and then silently put away his mobile phone.

Shen Laixi's house is a newly built community to the south of Xinxiangxiang.

The house is on the twelfth floor, with a three-bedroom and two-living room layout. Shen Qiqi's room was the largest one, and there was also a cloakroom in it.

The room was very tidy, Xu Mingzhi and the others went in and took a look before coming out, and then asked the people from the trace examination department to go in and do fingerprinting.

When he came out, Shen Laixi was pacing back and forth anxiously in the living room, holding a mobile phone in his hand and constantly dialing the phone, but the other party never answered.

"Have you seen this person?" Xu Mingzhi walked up to him and took out Sun Jinhai's photo to show him.

Shen Laixi shook his head: "I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it." He seemed to be afraid that Xu Mingzhi would not believe it, and even repeated it.

After Xu Mingzhi put away the photo, he asked him again: "Does your son spend a lot of money?" ”

Shen Laixi couldn't help but be at a loss, and didn't seem to understand what Xu Mingzhi meant by asking. After being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses and replied, "I give him 3,000 a month, and his mother should subsidize him a little in private." He seems to have some other income, and I don't know very well, anyway, I haven't seen him save any money. ”

"Do you have a recent picture of him?"

Shen Laixi took out his mobile phone, and after looking for a long time, he found a photo: "I took it in the first month of this year." ”

Xu Mingzhi took it and took a look, he was very thin, his bangs were very long, and he almost completely covered his eyes.
