Today is also missed!
Chapter 32
001.
Ren Qingli slapped the table angrily, and the rest of the people were startled when they saw this. Ren Qingli has always been polite, and it is rare to see him lose his composure like this.
"Don't worry, now at least we know that he has discovered where Li Zimu lives." Ding Yixin tried to comfort her, but her words didn't have much comforting effect.
If Li Zimu couldn't be protected by external force, how much could they do with just a few of them?The other party is in the dark, they are in the light, and there is not much they can do.
"What about that night? Where does Li Zimu live? Maybe he is ambushing around here now, and he will follow after we get off work." Tian He asked.
As soon as Tian He said this, everyone frowned even more deeply. The feeling of being watched was not pleasing, and what was even more helpless was that they had nothing to do.
Even if they ask the bureau for help on the grounds that the other party is following them, it is probably impossible to dispatch people without clear evidence now.
Even if he wants to meet someone as Li Zimu, what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?It is impossible to hide like this for a lifetime.
"Let's talk about this matter later, now let's finish the matter at hand." Li Zimu said.
"But..." Several people on the side still wanted to speak, but Li Zimu raised his hand to stop them, "I still need to think about it."
Seeing that Li Zimu had said that, everyone stopped talking, but calmed down and focused on the case.
This case seems to be simpler than the previous ones. Although there are no clear suspects yet, most of the situation is under control.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of being able to kill people must have something to do with the clubhouse. It will be much easier to investigate with a fixed circle.
"By the way, the department received a letter from you in the afternoon." Tian He said as he took a courier from the side and handed it to Li Zimu.
Tian He is a network technician, unless it is necessary, most of the time he is on standby in the department, and he even takes care of these express deliveries.
Li Zimu took a look at the courier, and was about to open it, when Ren Qingli put on his gloves and snatched the courier envelope.
After getting the big envelope, Ren Qingli took a step back and opened the envelope carefully, not sure if the other party would use such a method to hurt Li Zimu.
Opening the envelope, Ren Qingli took out the contents and took a look at it. After taking a look, his expression became a little weird.
"What's the matter, is there a problem?" A few people watching from the side asked.
Ren Qingli shook his head lightly. After carefully reading the contents above, he handed the letter to Li Zimu with some dumbfounding.
Li Zimu took it and saw that it was a lawyer's complaint letter. Huang Qunguang's family had sued him before, and their lawyer asked him to make an appointment to meet and discuss the matter in detail.
"What are you going to do?" Several people were dumbfounded.
The case on Chen Yueshan's side has basically been settled now. All the victims and all relevant circumstances have been confirmed one by one. There is indeed no possibility of murder on Huang Qunguang's side, and they have explained to the other party.
But the other party didn't believe their words at all. The other party didn't come to make trouble these two days. They thought the other party had accepted the facts, but they didn't expect to act out this show.
Li Zimu put the envelope away, "Leave her alone."
Ren Qingli also had the same attitude. If necessary, he could tell the other party in the same way. They couldn't change the judicial appraisal result just because of a lawyer's letter.This is fraud, this is insurance fraud.
After throwing the letter aside, several people gathered together again, thinking about what to do next.
"Tian He, stay in the department and check the surveillance video of Xia Guotian's residential area on the day when the crime happened. See when he last appeared and see if there are any other suspects."
"Okay." Tian He nodded.
"Ding Yixin Baifei, you two go to the community again, check the nearby residents, and see if there are any other clues."
"Okay." The two agreed.
"Hu Qing, you stay in the department, Su Yueming and you two go to the clubhouse with us." Li Zimu made arrangements one by one.
"Wait a minute, why should I stay?" Hu Qing raised his hand.
"In the next few days, everyone must at least make sure that two people act together, not alone." Li Zimu looked around the crowd, "If that person really came to me because of that incident a few years ago, then he should be careful It's not just me."
The last time that person killed everyone in his group except him, this time the other party came to him again. Whether he came for him or had some other purpose, I am afraid only he himself would know.
Regarding this point, Li Zimu has to think carefully, "I will go to the director tomorrow and send you back as soon as possible."
"Everyone pay attention, don't leave alone in a group of two, and be careful at ordinary times." Hu Qing looked at the other people with a serious face, although he didn't take Li Zimu's last words to heart.
When they first decided to stay and help Li Zimu investigate that person, they already knew who the other person was, and knew that the other person might be a murderer who killed four people.
Although the current situation somewhat exceeded their expectations, they were not too frightened to continue.
Several people ignored Li Zimu's stature, and after explaining a few more sentences, they left.It's not too late now, they still have some time.
After everyone dispersed, Li Zimu got into Ren Qingli's car and took Su Yueming to the clubhouse.
That clubhouse is a private membership clubhouse. The outside is magnificent, and the facilities and conditions in all aspects are complete and perfect. It belongs to a relatively high-end entertainment place.
The things that people like Xia Guotian do are not very open and aboveboard, so he always goes in and out of such relatively private places.This made their investigation a little more difficult, but also made it easier for them.
The added difficulty is that it took them a while to get the manager to agree to cooperate with the investigation and hand over all relevant information to them.The reason why it is easy to investigate is also because he has his own dedicated lounge, and he usually meets guests in this lounge.
It's not easy for three people to form a team, so the three of them went to the lounge together first, checked the entire lounge, and then went to the manager to find out about the situation of the employees in the store.
In the employee lounge at the back of the clubhouse, on the day of the victim's death, all the employees on duty were called inside.
"All the people are here, you can ask them what you want to check." The manager's face was a little ugly.
When Li Zimu and the others first arrived, he was not willing to assist in the investigation.
These places pay great attention to personal privacy, and there are many people like Xia Guotian who come here. It is not a good thing to let the police come in and out at will.
Moreover, they had found the surveillance video of the victim leaving their club alive. He felt that Li Zimu and the others were making trouble for no reason when they came back to investigate.
If people didn't die in their meeting place, then they have no responsibility.
Regarding the manager's refusal, Ren Qingli patiently explained to him that he hoped he could cooperate with the investigation, after all, it was a matter of human life.
Li Zimu, on the other hand, just collected his things and went out when the manager started to chase people away with a bad face. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell him that he would bring Charing over the next day and seal off the whole store until they investigated. Finish.
After hearing Li Zimu's words, the manager's face was as black as charcoal, and then he expressed his willingness to cooperate with the investigation, but in order not to affect the business of the store, he asked them to only go through the back door and wear casual clothes.
In the staff lounge, three people looked at the dozen or so people in front of them.
This place looks quite big, but the number of people on duty is smaller than they expected.
"Are these the only people?" Ren Qingli looked at the manager beside him.
"There are also security guards and receptionists in the lobby, but they cannot enter the back. If you want to check, I can call them all in." The lobby manager said.
They were in the bathhouse business, so naturally they couldn't allow people to come and go at will like other places, so the location of the pool in the backyard was not allowed to enter at will, and even the employees were restricted.
"I need to know what you are all doing." Li Zimu took out the recording pen, paper and pen.
A dozen or so people looked at each other, and it took a while for someone to speak.
More than a dozen people went to work that day, because it was approaching the beginning of October and the holiday was coming soon, so the bathhouse was undergoing a general cleaning. Apart from receiving customers that day, they were doing hygiene in the empty bathhouse.
After cross-examination, everyone basically had an alibi, with the exception of three people, either no one could prove that he was indeed staying in the store at that time, or his behavior was a little abnormal.
The person who claimed to be working in the store was assigned to a bathhouse that day, and spent most of the afternoon cleaning there.
It is not so easy to clean the whole pool, so he has about two to three hours without witnesses.
The other two people behaved a little weirdly. One of them was not supposed to be on duty that day, but he ran to the store to play for more than an hour. Later, he left at some unknown time. People in the store saw him appearing before. .
The other situation is a little special. It is said that I have transferred shifts with another person in private, and I want to make up for the holiday so that I can go out to play during the National Day.
After letting the rest of the people disperse, Li Zimu and the others focused on chatting with them.
They originally wanted to ask if there was any connection between them and the victim Xia Guotian, but the three of them quarreled by themselves, and they learned a lot of news.
Xia Guotian has a bad personality. He is very arrogant and has a certain tendency to violence. If the people around him don't like him, he will be scolded bloody by him. Xia Guotian is a regular customer here. So these people were basically scolded by Xia Guotian.
In addition to the three, there was even one person who was fired because of conflicts with Xia Guotian, and the person who was fired was the nephew of the previous lobby manager.
Upon hearing the news by accident, Ren Qingli immediately went to find the manager of the lobby. The latter looked extremely unkind, but still called him to the club.
On the night before the murder, he allegedly spent the night with a group of friends and drank some wine, so it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon when he woke up the next day.
The victim Xia Guotian was murdered between [-]:[-] noon and [-]:[-] noon, and during this time, the other party also did not have an alibi.
002.
After chatting with several people, the three of them got together alone.
"These people have time motives and conditions for committing crimes." Hu Qing concluded.
Unpleasant experiences in getting along with Xia Guotian, coupled with Xia Guotian's already annoying character, it is not impossible to drown him in the pool during the cleaning and then secretly take him out.
"Exclude one by one." Li Zimu said.
Ren Qingli at the side fell into deep thought. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Is it possible that the murderer is not one of these four people?"
"Why do you think so?" Li Zimu was a little surprised.
"First of all, look, although the four people in the store have not been present for a period of time, but there is not enough time to complete the whole plan?" Ren Qingli roughly estimated.
"It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to drive from this clubhouse to the neighborhood where the victim lives. Even if the time is shortened at night, it will not be less than [-] minutes..."
It takes at least 15 minutes from here to the victim's home, and half an hour to go back and forth, plus the time it takes for the suspect to move the victim to his home and upstairs, make a suicide look and process fingerprints, how can this be? Also more than an hour.
Although the first suspect had two to three hours, he still had to clean up the pool.Ren Qingli had already asked the manager before, and it would take at least an hour to two hours for Chizi to fully wake up, which was obviously too late.
As for the second suspect, he didn't go to work that day, but just came to the store to play.
According to other people's recollection, during the period of the victim's death, he had been talking with other people in the store, and he didn't disappear until about two to three o'clock, and the victim had been dead for more than an hour at that time.
The third victim was transferred with other people, and he was not absent for more than two consecutive hours throughout the day. He was with other people most of the time, just because he was not there that day. He should go to work, but he is temporarily placed in the range of suspects.
As for the manager's nephew, he was the most suspected of all the suspects, because he was not at work so he had time all day, and he had the most time.
But throughout the day, most of the pools were used by customers or cleaned by employees. They asked the employees in the store, but no one saw him come to the store that day.
If the murderer was him, then he would have to kill the person while avoiding everyone, and then sneak away with the body. This possibility is extremely slim.
After Ren Qingli's analysis, the three of them fell into silence. It was indeed as Ren Qingli said, the situation was too harsh.
"So now there is only one possibility, and that is that the water was taken away from here?" Hu Qing had a headache. If the victim died here, they would have better investigate. If the victim died outside, where would they go to find the first victim? Crime scene?
"If this is the case, then our scope of suspects will expand again." Ren Qingli also had a headache.
These employees are responsible for the water in the pool, and it shouldn't be too difficult to sneak some out.After all, this thing is neither drinkable nor edible, so it is estimated that no one in the store will take precautions against it.
"Not necessarily." Li Zimu analyzed, "Even if the conditions for killing have changed, the motive and time of killing will not change."
Even if the location is not in the store, the time of the victim's death is fixed, and the murderer must have some connection with the store.
"But in this way, the scope of our investigation is completely different from the current one, because the other party must not have been in the store at the time, but the employees who were on vacation were more suspicious." Ren Qingli said.
"Don't forget that there is another possibility, customers are also possible." Hu Qing reminded.
It is not only employees who can take water from the pool, but also customers.
For a while, the three fell into silence.
Not a while later, Ren Qingli said: "If a person wants to drown in the water, he needs to drink a certain amount of water through his mouth and nose. The other party should bring water more than once."
"Also, when I did the autopsy before, I didn't find any signs of struggle from the victim, so the victim should have been defenseless at the time of the crime. In addition to what you said about fingerprints before, Li Zimu, I I feel that there is a high possibility that an acquaintance committed the crime."
"Acquaintances...acquaintances who don't go to the victim's house very often, but make the victim unguarded..." Hu Qing was caught in a tangle.
After thinking about it, Hu Qing still thinks that the possibility of committing a crime in the store is the greatest, because even if there are employees when the other party is taking a shower, he will definitely not be on guard.
Several people were talking here, when Li Zimu's phone rang, Ding Yixin called, and she had a clue.
When they went to visit again, they focused on asking if anyone had appeared near the victim's house a day or two before and after the incident. This inquiry really led them to find a suspect, the nanny in the victim's house.
The nanny was more accurate as a part-time worker than a nanny. She was in charge of all hygiene in the victim's home, and occasionally cooked a meal.
Her working hours are set on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, two hours in the afternoon every day, and Xia Guotian is on call for the rest of the time who needs to cook.
The reason why she was suspected was because Ding Yixin learned that she had been to the victim's house on the second day after the victim's death, and she went there in a sneaky way with another person.
When the three of Li Zimu returned to the department, Ding Yixin was already interrogating.
"Who is that person? What are you doing there? Tell me honestly." Ding Yixin looked at the worried woman in front of her.
"I really don't know! It was Monday, so I just went to see the situation, and I left when I saw nothing happened." The woman said.
"Then who is that person going with you?"
"This...he is a relative of mine." The woman's eyes dodged.
"You brought your relatives with you when you went to work?" Ding Yixin saw some clues and just thought it was funny, "We have reason to suspect that you killed someone, do you know that?"
"I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill him!" The woman became anxious immediately.
"Then tell me exactly what happened."
The woman was a little shaken, but she still insisted, "I really don't know, he is my relative, I just took him to sit there for a while."
"Then why did someone see you coming out of it in a panic?"
"Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding. I really didn't do anything. When I went, he was already dead inside. I just smelled the smell, so I went over and took a look. We left after we found that he was dead."
"Then why didn't you call the police?" Ding Yixin asked.
The woman's eyes became more and more evasive, "I'm afraid you may suspect that we killed people."
"If you didn't kill him, what are you afraid of?" Ding Yixin became aggressive.
When the woman saw that Ding Yixin believed that she had killed someone, she also became anxious, "I, I just went to sit there with my friend for a while. We were going to eat something there before leaving. There are dead bodies."
The people next to her can understand now that her relatives are probably not real relatives but the ones who can't meet people. As for what it means to sit for a while and eat something before leaving, it is self-evident, dare to love this person I took my girlfriend there to have an affair!
"You have to believe me, I really didn't kill anyone, he died in the water when we went, and his whole body was white." The woman said, "We were also shocked, so we didn't call the police... ..."
"Have you moved anything in the house?" Ding Yixin asked.
"We just sat downstairs for a while." Seeing that several people were looking at her blankly, the woman added, "We even sat in the master bedroom on the second floor, and we really sat for a while. It wasn't long before we smelled it and found the body."
"What specific things did you touch?"
"I just poured him a glass of water and went upstairs without touching us. We were shocked when we found the body, so we hurried downstairs to wash the glass and put it back where it was before leaving. "
"You wiped the doorknob when you left?" Li Zimu asked suddenly.
"The doorknob?" The woman shook her head quickly, "No, we just left."
Hearing the woman's words, Ren Qingli and Li Zimu looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.The rest of the people were a little confused at first, but they soon came to their senses.
If the doorknobs weren't cleaned by these two men, who did?
The woman took her home two days after the victim died.
If the doorknob had been wiped clean at the time of the victim's death, it would have left the woman's and her friend's fingerprints on it, but there was nothing on it.
So the only possibility now is that after the woman and her friends left, the murderer went back again.
Aware of this, several people immediately looked at Tian He next to him.
Tian He has also reacted at this moment, he immediately turned on the computer and found the surveillance video that Ding Yixin and the others had obtained from the community.
The interrogation on Ding Yixin's side was still going on, and the rest of them went to Tian He's side.
Tian He has been investigating and monitoring in the department for some time, and it's not that he has gained nothing.
He has already checked all the recent monitoring. The last time the victim appeared in the monitoring was at noon on the day when the crime happened. I haven't been back either.
When the victim left, he drove his own car. The car was parked on the side of the road outside the community. When Ding Yixin and Bai Fei found it in the afternoon, it had been parked there for a few days.
The car has been brought back and is now parked in the yard.Ren Qingli nodded upon hearing the news, this was his responsibility.
Tian He was still checking who had returned to the community a few days after the victim's death, while Ren Qingli had already taken the toolbox and went to the car.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the victim was transported back to the community in his own car after being killed, and the other party knew that there was surveillance at the intersection of their community, so they did not drive the car directly, but chose to be on the side of the road. parking.
This car is likely to be the vehicle that transported the victim back to the community, so something related to the murderer may be found inside.
After Ren Qingli took the toolbox, he opened the door of the car and began to check.
It can be seen that Xia Guotian loves the car very much, and the car is well maintained, both inside and out.
The first thing Ren Qingli did after entering was to try to collect hairs. He tried to find anything related from the back of the seat or the ground, but the whole car was so clean that there was nothing there.
Without hair, Ren Qingli began to collect fingerprints inside, but after he applied a thin layer of fingerprint powder on the window handle and some places that would definitely be touched by hands, everything in sight was clean .
The car is like new, no hairs or fingerprints.
003.
Not long after Ren Qingli's inspection started, there was already a sound from Tian He's side in the room, and he found something.
"Come and take a look." Tian He released two surveillance videos at the same time, the main content of which was the victim's car.
The first video was from the clubhouse. The people in the clubhouse insisted that the victim went out by himself. At that time, the people in the clubhouse also found a surveillance video, which was this video.
The video shows the victim driving the car shortly after exiting the front door, passing by the door and leaving.The monitoring position happened to capture the license plate, and the picture quality was fairly clear.
The other surveillance video is a video of a car driving into the residential area where the victim lived, and then leaving after a short time.
"When is the next monitoring time?" Li Zimu asked.
"The time display is around eleven o'clock." Tian He recalled the time, "He should have been killed after leaving the community this time, and someone might have asked him out at eleven o'clock or twelve o'clock. Have a meal."
The victim lived alone, and the fire was not fired at home, and the nanny did it. He must have been hungry when he left the community.
"By the way, where are his bodyguards?" Hu Qing suddenly remembered.
He remembered that this person was always accompanied by a group of people, why did he disappear now?
"I asked." Su Yueming on the side said, "I asked by the way when I went to the clubhouse before. They claimed that they didn't know that the other party was dead, let alone that the other party was still in the urban area."
"What do you mean? Aren't they bodyguards? They don't know where the employer has gone?" Hu Qing was puzzled.
"They said that Xia Guotian had given them a vacation two or three days before the incident, saying that he wanted to go home and contact them after he came back." Su Yueming said.
"What do you mean, he doesn't bring bodyguards with him when he goes home?" Hu Qing became more and more puzzled.
Hearing this, Su Yueming couldn't help showing a mocking smile on his face, "He is very protective of his family members. He lives alone here, but the family members bought a house in another place. He usually doesn't go home, nor does he Let anyone know, it seems that he is afraid that those enemies will find his home."
Speaking of this matter, Su Yueming showed disgust on his face.
Xia Guotian has been dealing in drugs, and he has been involved in this business for more than ten years, because the number of people killed by him through his hands is definitely three figures, and the number of families who have been killed by him is naturally self-evident.
But it is such a person who sucks other people's blood and destroys other people's families, but hypocritically wants to protect his own family, and even pretends so hypocritically.
"I'd like to know if his family knows what he does? If they know that he has harmed so many people and earned so much by eating other people's flesh and blood, can they use the money with peace of mind?"
Speaking of these things, Su Yueming felt aggrieved, and Hu Qing, who was at the side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, silently comforting him.
Ding Yixin's interrogation was over at this moment, she came out from the utility room at the back, and handed over the materials obtained from the interrogation to everyone for them to take turns to check.
"It seems that her appearance has nothing to do with this case. I asked the phone number and address of the relative she mentioned. I will go to the community to talk to him tomorrow. If the two of them are right, That should eliminate the suspicion." Ding Yixin said.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." After Li Zimu read the interrogation record, he continued to struggle with the previous question, about the fingerprint.
He originally thought that the victim wiped off his fingerprints when he left after putting the body away, but now it seems that the victim went back after leaving, and the time difference between the arcs was at least two days.
Under normal circumstances, the murderer will not easily return to the scene after killing someone.
This return to the scene is not just strolling outside, but not going there again before the police find out, because it is very likely that more clues will be left in this way.
When Ren Qingli came back from the door, seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Ren Qingli shook his head helplessly.
He said: "The car has obviously been treated. There are no fingerprints or traces inside. I found some friction marks in the trunk of the car. It seems that it is very likely that the car was bumped when the dead body was brought back. The body was ground twice on the bed of the car."
After a short pause, he said again: "One more thing, it's a little strange. The driver's seat of the car has been adjusted, it may be adjusted by the murderer."
The reason why Ren Qingli used the uncertain words of "may be" the murderer was because he thought it was a bit strange.
How can a person who is so careful to wipe clean any place where there may be fingerprints leave such a big hole?Moreover, the arc of the seat adjustment is not particularly large, and it may be that the victim himself is used to it.
There is no way to prove this thing, so it can only be regarded as a possibility.
Several people were also a little disappointed when they heard the words. If they didn't find any clues in this car, then their clues would be cut off again now.
"It seems that we still have to go back and check the clubhouse." Ren Qingli said.
"Car?" Li Zimu raised his eyebrows.
Before Li Zimu could finish speaking, Hu Qing who was next to him immediately came to his senses, and he said loudly, "The nephew of the lobby manager!"
When they went to the clubhouse before, they had investigated all the employees, and they probably knew the details of the four employees they screened out.
The nephew of the fired lobby manager was beaten by Xia Guotian and asked to be fired because he tampered with Xia Guotian's car.
That man was the lobby manager's nephew, and he also entered through the back door. Because of the lobby manager's reason, he was quite open in there, and he was familiar with a few customers.
Later, when Xia Guotian was not paying attention, he took his keys and tried to play around with his car. As a result, Xia Guotian discovered it just once.Then Xia Guotian asked his bodyguards to beat him half to death, and asked the lobby manager never to let him see him again.
This clubhouse was not originally owned by the lobby manager, so after Xia Guotian's words reached the ears of the boss, he had to fire his nephew.
From the mouths of other employees, they learned that when it comes to this nephew, he and Xia Guotian are quite similar.
Xia Guotian is extremely arrogant and has a certain tendency to violence.That nephew is also quite arrogant, and some hands and feet are not clean.
When he was in the clubhouse, he relied on his uncle being the lobby manager to pretend to be powerful, and often bullied other employees. He would also take advantage of customers taking a bath in the bathtub and would not come out for a while, often touching customers' mobile phones or cars. .
He especially likes cars. Although he doesn't have much money in his hand, he always thinks about what car to buy when he has money. He even took pictures of customers' cars and posted them on the Internet as his own. Addiction.
The other employees were more or less disdainful of his behavior, but because of the identity of the other party, they didn't care about the other party, and they usually hide when they can't afford it.
Previously, Xia Guotian found out that the car had been moved because the seat of the car had been adjusted, and then found the nephew through the monitoring of the clubhouse.
When Ren Qingli said this just now, Li Zimu and Hu Qing immediately thought of it.
"It seems that we still have to go back to the clubhouse to investigate." Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone accepted this result. After all, it is better to have a fixed range than to find a needle in a haystack.
"Then everyone will gather at the clubhouse to investigate tomorrow." Li Zimu said.
Several people nodded, and each of them began to stretch their waists. It was already dark at this moment, and it was time for them to go back to rest.
If it had been the past, everyone would have taken their things and ran away, but now everyone stayed where they were and looked at Li Zimu.
"What are you going to do?" Ren Qingli finally asked.
They kept avoiding the fact that Ren Qingli's place was discovered by the foreigner, but now it was night, and they had to make a choice.
"How about you go back with us?" Hu Qing suggested, "He doesn't know where we live now."
"If the other party can follow me to Ren Qingli's place, they will definitely be able to follow you home." Li Zimu shook his head. This proposal seems appropriate and reasonable, but in fact it doesn't make much sense.
"Then what can we do, do you want to go back with Ren Qingli?" Ding Yixin asked.
Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli, and he nodded, "Your side is relatively safe."
The place where Ren Qingli lives is indeed safer than other places. The guard room, the locks on the ground floor, the locks on the upstairs, and the ubiquitous surveillance are more than twice as good as those in ordinary apartments.
"Alright then." Ren Qingli nodded.
In fact, he still disapproved, but he would rather Li Zimu be with him when there was no other way, so that he could at least protect Li Zimu as much as possible.
After making a decision, they left after a few more explanations.
After everyone left, Li Zimu locked the door, and then got into the car with Ren Qingli.
After getting into the car, Ren Qingli didn't start the car immediately, but quietly looked at Li Zimu in the rearview mirror.
"What are you going to do?" Ren Qingli asked.
"Huh?" Li Zimu looked puzzled.
"You can hide it from them, but you can't hide it from me." Ren Qingli started the car, "Don't do anything risky."
The puzzlement on Li Zimu's face in the rearview mirror gradually melted, and gradually turned into a blank expression.
He did have plans, since the other party had already come to him, how could he remain indifferent.It's just that under the current situation, he has too little initiative, so he must catch the other party first anyway.
Since he wanted to meet the other party, he naturally couldn't avoid it.
Li Zimu didn't tell anyone about his thoughts, but Ren Qingli could tell that Li Zimu was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
What this incident brought to Li Zimu was far more than a simple identity as a suspect, and it was not a turning point that ruined his bright future. It was a stain on his life, an intolerable stain on his self-esteem.
He became famous at a young age, and then he has been walking around the world, solving countless cases, but after being slandered and murdered, he was unable to prove himself and solve the case.
Although Li Zimu said that as long as the case can be solved, he doesn't seem to care much about it, but Ren Qingli knows that Li Zimu will definitely investigate this case himself, otherwise this case will become an existence that he can never let go of in his life.
Just like Xia Guotian was an obsession for Su Yueming.
The car drove forward slowly, Ren Qingli looked at Li Zimu in the rearview mirror, he was actually a little happy that Li Zimu didn't pretend to be in front of him anymore.
But at the same time, he was also a little worried. He said that it was more troublesome to watch a well-behaved child become self-willed. This was undoubtedly the case with Li Zimu.
"If something really happens, don't rush up, at least let me know before you act." Ren Qingli's deep and hoarse voice sounded from inside the car.
Li Zimu's face hidden in the darkness was expressionless, only the corners of his mouth under the streetlight slightly curved up, making Ren Qingli's heart speed up uncontrollably.
Ren Qingli's heart was beating non-stop, and Li Zimu's voice came, "Okay... Father Ren."
The corner of Ren Qingli's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he almost stepped on the brake instead of the accelerator.
Ren Qingli slapped the table angrily, and the rest of the people were startled when they saw this. Ren Qingli has always been polite, and it is rare to see him lose his composure like this.
"Don't worry, now at least we know that he has discovered where Li Zimu lives." Ding Yixin tried to comfort her, but her words didn't have much comforting effect.
If Li Zimu couldn't be protected by external force, how much could they do with just a few of them?The other party is in the dark, they are in the light, and there is not much they can do.
"What about that night? Where does Li Zimu live? Maybe he is ambushing around here now, and he will follow after we get off work." Tian He asked.
As soon as Tian He said this, everyone frowned even more deeply. The feeling of being watched was not pleasing, and what was even more helpless was that they had nothing to do.
Even if they ask the bureau for help on the grounds that the other party is following them, it is probably impossible to dispatch people without clear evidence now.
Even if he wants to meet someone as Li Zimu, what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?It is impossible to hide like this for a lifetime.
"Let's talk about this matter later, now let's finish the matter at hand." Li Zimu said.
"But..." Several people on the side still wanted to speak, but Li Zimu raised his hand to stop them, "I still need to think about it."
Seeing that Li Zimu had said that, everyone stopped talking, but calmed down and focused on the case.
This case seems to be simpler than the previous ones. Although there are no clear suspects yet, most of the situation is under control.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of being able to kill people must have something to do with the clubhouse. It will be much easier to investigate with a fixed circle.
"By the way, the department received a letter from you in the afternoon." Tian He said as he took a courier from the side and handed it to Li Zimu.
Tian He is a network technician, unless it is necessary, most of the time he is on standby in the department, and he even takes care of these express deliveries.
Li Zimu took a look at the courier, and was about to open it, when Ren Qingli put on his gloves and snatched the courier envelope.
After getting the big envelope, Ren Qingli took a step back and opened the envelope carefully, not sure if the other party would use such a method to hurt Li Zimu.
Opening the envelope, Ren Qingli took out the contents and took a look at it. After taking a look, his expression became a little weird.
"What's the matter, is there a problem?" A few people watching from the side asked.
Ren Qingli shook his head lightly. After carefully reading the contents above, he handed the letter to Li Zimu with some dumbfounding.
Li Zimu took it and saw that it was a lawyer's complaint letter. Huang Qunguang's family had sued him before, and their lawyer asked him to make an appointment to meet and discuss the matter in detail.
"What are you going to do?" Several people were dumbfounded.
The case on Chen Yueshan's side has basically been settled now. All the victims and all relevant circumstances have been confirmed one by one. There is indeed no possibility of murder on Huang Qunguang's side, and they have explained to the other party.
But the other party didn't believe their words at all. The other party didn't come to make trouble these two days. They thought the other party had accepted the facts, but they didn't expect to act out this show.
Li Zimu put the envelope away, "Leave her alone."
Ren Qingli also had the same attitude. If necessary, he could tell the other party in the same way. They couldn't change the judicial appraisal result just because of a lawyer's letter.This is fraud, this is insurance fraud.
After throwing the letter aside, several people gathered together again, thinking about what to do next.
"Tian He, stay in the department and check the surveillance video of Xia Guotian's residential area on the day when the crime happened. See when he last appeared and see if there are any other suspects."
"Okay." Tian He nodded.
"Ding Yixin Baifei, you two go to the community again, check the nearby residents, and see if there are any other clues."
"Okay." The two agreed.
"Hu Qing, you stay in the department, Su Yueming and you two go to the clubhouse with us." Li Zimu made arrangements one by one.
"Wait a minute, why should I stay?" Hu Qing raised his hand.
"In the next few days, everyone must at least make sure that two people act together, not alone." Li Zimu looked around the crowd, "If that person really came to me because of that incident a few years ago, then he should be careful It's not just me."
The last time that person killed everyone in his group except him, this time the other party came to him again. Whether he came for him or had some other purpose, I am afraid only he himself would know.
Regarding this point, Li Zimu has to think carefully, "I will go to the director tomorrow and send you back as soon as possible."
"Everyone pay attention, don't leave alone in a group of two, and be careful at ordinary times." Hu Qing looked at the other people with a serious face, although he didn't take Li Zimu's last words to heart.
When they first decided to stay and help Li Zimu investigate that person, they already knew who the other person was, and knew that the other person might be a murderer who killed four people.
Although the current situation somewhat exceeded their expectations, they were not too frightened to continue.
Several people ignored Li Zimu's stature, and after explaining a few more sentences, they left.It's not too late now, they still have some time.
After everyone dispersed, Li Zimu got into Ren Qingli's car and took Su Yueming to the clubhouse.
That clubhouse is a private membership clubhouse. The outside is magnificent, and the facilities and conditions in all aspects are complete and perfect. It belongs to a relatively high-end entertainment place.
The things that people like Xia Guotian do are not very open and aboveboard, so he always goes in and out of such relatively private places.This made their investigation a little more difficult, but also made it easier for them.
The added difficulty is that it took them a while to get the manager to agree to cooperate with the investigation and hand over all relevant information to them.The reason why it is easy to investigate is also because he has his own dedicated lounge, and he usually meets guests in this lounge.
It's not easy for three people to form a team, so the three of them went to the lounge together first, checked the entire lounge, and then went to the manager to find out about the situation of the employees in the store.
In the employee lounge at the back of the clubhouse, on the day of the victim's death, all the employees on duty were called inside.
"All the people are here, you can ask them what you want to check." The manager's face was a little ugly.
When Li Zimu and the others first arrived, he was not willing to assist in the investigation.
These places pay great attention to personal privacy, and there are many people like Xia Guotian who come here. It is not a good thing to let the police come in and out at will.
Moreover, they had found the surveillance video of the victim leaving their club alive. He felt that Li Zimu and the others were making trouble for no reason when they came back to investigate.
If people didn't die in their meeting place, then they have no responsibility.
Regarding the manager's refusal, Ren Qingli patiently explained to him that he hoped he could cooperate with the investigation, after all, it was a matter of human life.
Li Zimu, on the other hand, just collected his things and went out when the manager started to chase people away with a bad face. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell him that he would bring Charing over the next day and seal off the whole store until they investigated. Finish.
After hearing Li Zimu's words, the manager's face was as black as charcoal, and then he expressed his willingness to cooperate with the investigation, but in order not to affect the business of the store, he asked them to only go through the back door and wear casual clothes.
In the staff lounge, three people looked at the dozen or so people in front of them.
This place looks quite big, but the number of people on duty is smaller than they expected.
"Are these the only people?" Ren Qingli looked at the manager beside him.
"There are also security guards and receptionists in the lobby, but they cannot enter the back. If you want to check, I can call them all in." The lobby manager said.
They were in the bathhouse business, so naturally they couldn't allow people to come and go at will like other places, so the location of the pool in the backyard was not allowed to enter at will, and even the employees were restricted.
"I need to know what you are all doing." Li Zimu took out the recording pen, paper and pen.
A dozen or so people looked at each other, and it took a while for someone to speak.
More than a dozen people went to work that day, because it was approaching the beginning of October and the holiday was coming soon, so the bathhouse was undergoing a general cleaning. Apart from receiving customers that day, they were doing hygiene in the empty bathhouse.
After cross-examination, everyone basically had an alibi, with the exception of three people, either no one could prove that he was indeed staying in the store at that time, or his behavior was a little abnormal.
The person who claimed to be working in the store was assigned to a bathhouse that day, and spent most of the afternoon cleaning there.
It is not so easy to clean the whole pool, so he has about two to three hours without witnesses.
The other two people behaved a little weirdly. One of them was not supposed to be on duty that day, but he ran to the store to play for more than an hour. Later, he left at some unknown time. People in the store saw him appearing before. .
The other situation is a little special. It is said that I have transferred shifts with another person in private, and I want to make up for the holiday so that I can go out to play during the National Day.
After letting the rest of the people disperse, Li Zimu and the others focused on chatting with them.
They originally wanted to ask if there was any connection between them and the victim Xia Guotian, but the three of them quarreled by themselves, and they learned a lot of news.
Xia Guotian has a bad personality. He is very arrogant and has a certain tendency to violence. If the people around him don't like him, he will be scolded bloody by him. Xia Guotian is a regular customer here. So these people were basically scolded by Xia Guotian.
In addition to the three, there was even one person who was fired because of conflicts with Xia Guotian, and the person who was fired was the nephew of the previous lobby manager.
Upon hearing the news by accident, Ren Qingli immediately went to find the manager of the lobby. The latter looked extremely unkind, but still called him to the club.
On the night before the murder, he allegedly spent the night with a group of friends and drank some wine, so it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon when he woke up the next day.
The victim Xia Guotian was murdered between [-]:[-] noon and [-]:[-] noon, and during this time, the other party also did not have an alibi.
002.
After chatting with several people, the three of them got together alone.
"These people have time motives and conditions for committing crimes." Hu Qing concluded.
Unpleasant experiences in getting along with Xia Guotian, coupled with Xia Guotian's already annoying character, it is not impossible to drown him in the pool during the cleaning and then secretly take him out.
"Exclude one by one." Li Zimu said.
Ren Qingli at the side fell into deep thought. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Is it possible that the murderer is not one of these four people?"
"Why do you think so?" Li Zimu was a little surprised.
"First of all, look, although the four people in the store have not been present for a period of time, but there is not enough time to complete the whole plan?" Ren Qingli roughly estimated.
"It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to drive from this clubhouse to the neighborhood where the victim lives. Even if the time is shortened at night, it will not be less than [-] minutes..."
It takes at least 15 minutes from here to the victim's home, and half an hour to go back and forth, plus the time it takes for the suspect to move the victim to his home and upstairs, make a suicide look and process fingerprints, how can this be? Also more than an hour.
Although the first suspect had two to three hours, he still had to clean up the pool.Ren Qingli had already asked the manager before, and it would take at least an hour to two hours for Chizi to fully wake up, which was obviously too late.
As for the second suspect, he didn't go to work that day, but just came to the store to play.
According to other people's recollection, during the period of the victim's death, he had been talking with other people in the store, and he didn't disappear until about two to three o'clock, and the victim had been dead for more than an hour at that time.
The third victim was transferred with other people, and he was not absent for more than two consecutive hours throughout the day. He was with other people most of the time, just because he was not there that day. He should go to work, but he is temporarily placed in the range of suspects.
As for the manager's nephew, he was the most suspected of all the suspects, because he was not at work so he had time all day, and he had the most time.
But throughout the day, most of the pools were used by customers or cleaned by employees. They asked the employees in the store, but no one saw him come to the store that day.
If the murderer was him, then he would have to kill the person while avoiding everyone, and then sneak away with the body. This possibility is extremely slim.
After Ren Qingli's analysis, the three of them fell into silence. It was indeed as Ren Qingli said, the situation was too harsh.
"So now there is only one possibility, and that is that the water was taken away from here?" Hu Qing had a headache. If the victim died here, they would have better investigate. If the victim died outside, where would they go to find the first victim? Crime scene?
"If this is the case, then our scope of suspects will expand again." Ren Qingli also had a headache.
These employees are responsible for the water in the pool, and it shouldn't be too difficult to sneak some out.After all, this thing is neither drinkable nor edible, so it is estimated that no one in the store will take precautions against it.
"Not necessarily." Li Zimu analyzed, "Even if the conditions for killing have changed, the motive and time of killing will not change."
Even if the location is not in the store, the time of the victim's death is fixed, and the murderer must have some connection with the store.
"But in this way, the scope of our investigation is completely different from the current one, because the other party must not have been in the store at the time, but the employees who were on vacation were more suspicious." Ren Qingli said.
"Don't forget that there is another possibility, customers are also possible." Hu Qing reminded.
It is not only employees who can take water from the pool, but also customers.
For a while, the three fell into silence.
Not a while later, Ren Qingli said: "If a person wants to drown in the water, he needs to drink a certain amount of water through his mouth and nose. The other party should bring water more than once."
"Also, when I did the autopsy before, I didn't find any signs of struggle from the victim, so the victim should have been defenseless at the time of the crime. In addition to what you said about fingerprints before, Li Zimu, I I feel that there is a high possibility that an acquaintance committed the crime."
"Acquaintances...acquaintances who don't go to the victim's house very often, but make the victim unguarded..." Hu Qing was caught in a tangle.
After thinking about it, Hu Qing still thinks that the possibility of committing a crime in the store is the greatest, because even if there are employees when the other party is taking a shower, he will definitely not be on guard.
Several people were talking here, when Li Zimu's phone rang, Ding Yixin called, and she had a clue.
When they went to visit again, they focused on asking if anyone had appeared near the victim's house a day or two before and after the incident. This inquiry really led them to find a suspect, the nanny in the victim's house.
The nanny was more accurate as a part-time worker than a nanny. She was in charge of all hygiene in the victim's home, and occasionally cooked a meal.
Her working hours are set on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, two hours in the afternoon every day, and Xia Guotian is on call for the rest of the time who needs to cook.
The reason why she was suspected was because Ding Yixin learned that she had been to the victim's house on the second day after the victim's death, and she went there in a sneaky way with another person.
When the three of Li Zimu returned to the department, Ding Yixin was already interrogating.
"Who is that person? What are you doing there? Tell me honestly." Ding Yixin looked at the worried woman in front of her.
"I really don't know! It was Monday, so I just went to see the situation, and I left when I saw nothing happened." The woman said.
"Then who is that person going with you?"
"This...he is a relative of mine." The woman's eyes dodged.
"You brought your relatives with you when you went to work?" Ding Yixin saw some clues and just thought it was funny, "We have reason to suspect that you killed someone, do you know that?"
"I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill him!" The woman became anxious immediately.
"Then tell me exactly what happened."
The woman was a little shaken, but she still insisted, "I really don't know, he is my relative, I just took him to sit there for a while."
"Then why did someone see you coming out of it in a panic?"
"Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding. I really didn't do anything. When I went, he was already dead inside. I just smelled the smell, so I went over and took a look. We left after we found that he was dead."
"Then why didn't you call the police?" Ding Yixin asked.
The woman's eyes became more and more evasive, "I'm afraid you may suspect that we killed people."
"If you didn't kill him, what are you afraid of?" Ding Yixin became aggressive.
When the woman saw that Ding Yixin believed that she had killed someone, she also became anxious, "I, I just went to sit there with my friend for a while. We were going to eat something there before leaving. There are dead bodies."
The people next to her can understand now that her relatives are probably not real relatives but the ones who can't meet people. As for what it means to sit for a while and eat something before leaving, it is self-evident, dare to love this person I took my girlfriend there to have an affair!
"You have to believe me, I really didn't kill anyone, he died in the water when we went, and his whole body was white." The woman said, "We were also shocked, so we didn't call the police... ..."
"Have you moved anything in the house?" Ding Yixin asked.
"We just sat downstairs for a while." Seeing that several people were looking at her blankly, the woman added, "We even sat in the master bedroom on the second floor, and we really sat for a while. It wasn't long before we smelled it and found the body."
"What specific things did you touch?"
"I just poured him a glass of water and went upstairs without touching us. We were shocked when we found the body, so we hurried downstairs to wash the glass and put it back where it was before leaving. "
"You wiped the doorknob when you left?" Li Zimu asked suddenly.
"The doorknob?" The woman shook her head quickly, "No, we just left."
Hearing the woman's words, Ren Qingli and Li Zimu looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.The rest of the people were a little confused at first, but they soon came to their senses.
If the doorknobs weren't cleaned by these two men, who did?
The woman took her home two days after the victim died.
If the doorknob had been wiped clean at the time of the victim's death, it would have left the woman's and her friend's fingerprints on it, but there was nothing on it.
So the only possibility now is that after the woman and her friends left, the murderer went back again.
Aware of this, several people immediately looked at Tian He next to him.
Tian He has also reacted at this moment, he immediately turned on the computer and found the surveillance video that Ding Yixin and the others had obtained from the community.
The interrogation on Ding Yixin's side was still going on, and the rest of them went to Tian He's side.
Tian He has been investigating and monitoring in the department for some time, and it's not that he has gained nothing.
He has already checked all the recent monitoring. The last time the victim appeared in the monitoring was at noon on the day when the crime happened. I haven't been back either.
When the victim left, he drove his own car. The car was parked on the side of the road outside the community. When Ding Yixin and Bai Fei found it in the afternoon, it had been parked there for a few days.
The car has been brought back and is now parked in the yard.Ren Qingli nodded upon hearing the news, this was his responsibility.
Tian He was still checking who had returned to the community a few days after the victim's death, while Ren Qingli had already taken the toolbox and went to the car.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the victim was transported back to the community in his own car after being killed, and the other party knew that there was surveillance at the intersection of their community, so they did not drive the car directly, but chose to be on the side of the road. parking.
This car is likely to be the vehicle that transported the victim back to the community, so something related to the murderer may be found inside.
After Ren Qingli took the toolbox, he opened the door of the car and began to check.
It can be seen that Xia Guotian loves the car very much, and the car is well maintained, both inside and out.
The first thing Ren Qingli did after entering was to try to collect hairs. He tried to find anything related from the back of the seat or the ground, but the whole car was so clean that there was nothing there.
Without hair, Ren Qingli began to collect fingerprints inside, but after he applied a thin layer of fingerprint powder on the window handle and some places that would definitely be touched by hands, everything in sight was clean .
The car is like new, no hairs or fingerprints.
003.
Not long after Ren Qingli's inspection started, there was already a sound from Tian He's side in the room, and he found something.
"Come and take a look." Tian He released two surveillance videos at the same time, the main content of which was the victim's car.
The first video was from the clubhouse. The people in the clubhouse insisted that the victim went out by himself. At that time, the people in the clubhouse also found a surveillance video, which was this video.
The video shows the victim driving the car shortly after exiting the front door, passing by the door and leaving.The monitoring position happened to capture the license plate, and the picture quality was fairly clear.
The other surveillance video is a video of a car driving into the residential area where the victim lived, and then leaving after a short time.
"When is the next monitoring time?" Li Zimu asked.
"The time display is around eleven o'clock." Tian He recalled the time, "He should have been killed after leaving the community this time, and someone might have asked him out at eleven o'clock or twelve o'clock. Have a meal."
The victim lived alone, and the fire was not fired at home, and the nanny did it. He must have been hungry when he left the community.
"By the way, where are his bodyguards?" Hu Qing suddenly remembered.
He remembered that this person was always accompanied by a group of people, why did he disappear now?
"I asked." Su Yueming on the side said, "I asked by the way when I went to the clubhouse before. They claimed that they didn't know that the other party was dead, let alone that the other party was still in the urban area."
"What do you mean? Aren't they bodyguards? They don't know where the employer has gone?" Hu Qing was puzzled.
"They said that Xia Guotian had given them a vacation two or three days before the incident, saying that he wanted to go home and contact them after he came back." Su Yueming said.
"What do you mean, he doesn't bring bodyguards with him when he goes home?" Hu Qing became more and more puzzled.
Hearing this, Su Yueming couldn't help showing a mocking smile on his face, "He is very protective of his family members. He lives alone here, but the family members bought a house in another place. He usually doesn't go home, nor does he Let anyone know, it seems that he is afraid that those enemies will find his home."
Speaking of this matter, Su Yueming showed disgust on his face.
Xia Guotian has been dealing in drugs, and he has been involved in this business for more than ten years, because the number of people killed by him through his hands is definitely three figures, and the number of families who have been killed by him is naturally self-evident.
But it is such a person who sucks other people's blood and destroys other people's families, but hypocritically wants to protect his own family, and even pretends so hypocritically.
"I'd like to know if his family knows what he does? If they know that he has harmed so many people and earned so much by eating other people's flesh and blood, can they use the money with peace of mind?"
Speaking of these things, Su Yueming felt aggrieved, and Hu Qing, who was at the side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, silently comforting him.
Ding Yixin's interrogation was over at this moment, she came out from the utility room at the back, and handed over the materials obtained from the interrogation to everyone for them to take turns to check.
"It seems that her appearance has nothing to do with this case. I asked the phone number and address of the relative she mentioned. I will go to the community to talk to him tomorrow. If the two of them are right, That should eliminate the suspicion." Ding Yixin said.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." After Li Zimu read the interrogation record, he continued to struggle with the previous question, about the fingerprint.
He originally thought that the victim wiped off his fingerprints when he left after putting the body away, but now it seems that the victim went back after leaving, and the time difference between the arcs was at least two days.
Under normal circumstances, the murderer will not easily return to the scene after killing someone.
This return to the scene is not just strolling outside, but not going there again before the police find out, because it is very likely that more clues will be left in this way.
When Ren Qingli came back from the door, seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Ren Qingli shook his head helplessly.
He said: "The car has obviously been treated. There are no fingerprints or traces inside. I found some friction marks in the trunk of the car. It seems that it is very likely that the car was bumped when the dead body was brought back. The body was ground twice on the bed of the car."
After a short pause, he said again: "One more thing, it's a little strange. The driver's seat of the car has been adjusted, it may be adjusted by the murderer."
The reason why Ren Qingli used the uncertain words of "may be" the murderer was because he thought it was a bit strange.
How can a person who is so careful to wipe clean any place where there may be fingerprints leave such a big hole?Moreover, the arc of the seat adjustment is not particularly large, and it may be that the victim himself is used to it.
There is no way to prove this thing, so it can only be regarded as a possibility.
Several people were also a little disappointed when they heard the words. If they didn't find any clues in this car, then their clues would be cut off again now.
"It seems that we still have to go back and check the clubhouse." Ren Qingli said.
"Car?" Li Zimu raised his eyebrows.
Before Li Zimu could finish speaking, Hu Qing who was next to him immediately came to his senses, and he said loudly, "The nephew of the lobby manager!"
When they went to the clubhouse before, they had investigated all the employees, and they probably knew the details of the four employees they screened out.
The nephew of the fired lobby manager was beaten by Xia Guotian and asked to be fired because he tampered with Xia Guotian's car.
That man was the lobby manager's nephew, and he also entered through the back door. Because of the lobby manager's reason, he was quite open in there, and he was familiar with a few customers.
Later, when Xia Guotian was not paying attention, he took his keys and tried to play around with his car. As a result, Xia Guotian discovered it just once.Then Xia Guotian asked his bodyguards to beat him half to death, and asked the lobby manager never to let him see him again.
This clubhouse was not originally owned by the lobby manager, so after Xia Guotian's words reached the ears of the boss, he had to fire his nephew.
From the mouths of other employees, they learned that when it comes to this nephew, he and Xia Guotian are quite similar.
Xia Guotian is extremely arrogant and has a certain tendency to violence.That nephew is also quite arrogant, and some hands and feet are not clean.
When he was in the clubhouse, he relied on his uncle being the lobby manager to pretend to be powerful, and often bullied other employees. He would also take advantage of customers taking a bath in the bathtub and would not come out for a while, often touching customers' mobile phones or cars. .
He especially likes cars. Although he doesn't have much money in his hand, he always thinks about what car to buy when he has money. He even took pictures of customers' cars and posted them on the Internet as his own. Addiction.
The other employees were more or less disdainful of his behavior, but because of the identity of the other party, they didn't care about the other party, and they usually hide when they can't afford it.
Previously, Xia Guotian found out that the car had been moved because the seat of the car had been adjusted, and then found the nephew through the monitoring of the clubhouse.
When Ren Qingli said this just now, Li Zimu and Hu Qing immediately thought of it.
"It seems that we still have to go back to the clubhouse to investigate." Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone accepted this result. After all, it is better to have a fixed range than to find a needle in a haystack.
"Then everyone will gather at the clubhouse to investigate tomorrow." Li Zimu said.
Several people nodded, and each of them began to stretch their waists. It was already dark at this moment, and it was time for them to go back to rest.
If it had been the past, everyone would have taken their things and ran away, but now everyone stayed where they were and looked at Li Zimu.
"What are you going to do?" Ren Qingli finally asked.
They kept avoiding the fact that Ren Qingli's place was discovered by the foreigner, but now it was night, and they had to make a choice.
"How about you go back with us?" Hu Qing suggested, "He doesn't know where we live now."
"If the other party can follow me to Ren Qingli's place, they will definitely be able to follow you home." Li Zimu shook his head. This proposal seems appropriate and reasonable, but in fact it doesn't make much sense.
"Then what can we do, do you want to go back with Ren Qingli?" Ding Yixin asked.
Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli, and he nodded, "Your side is relatively safe."
The place where Ren Qingli lives is indeed safer than other places. The guard room, the locks on the ground floor, the locks on the upstairs, and the ubiquitous surveillance are more than twice as good as those in ordinary apartments.
"Alright then." Ren Qingli nodded.
In fact, he still disapproved, but he would rather Li Zimu be with him when there was no other way, so that he could at least protect Li Zimu as much as possible.
After making a decision, they left after a few more explanations.
After everyone left, Li Zimu locked the door, and then got into the car with Ren Qingli.
After getting into the car, Ren Qingli didn't start the car immediately, but quietly looked at Li Zimu in the rearview mirror.
"What are you going to do?" Ren Qingli asked.
"Huh?" Li Zimu looked puzzled.
"You can hide it from them, but you can't hide it from me." Ren Qingli started the car, "Don't do anything risky."
The puzzlement on Li Zimu's face in the rearview mirror gradually melted, and gradually turned into a blank expression.
He did have plans, since the other party had already come to him, how could he remain indifferent.It's just that under the current situation, he has too little initiative, so he must catch the other party first anyway.
Since he wanted to meet the other party, he naturally couldn't avoid it.
Li Zimu didn't tell anyone about his thoughts, but Ren Qingli could tell that Li Zimu was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
What this incident brought to Li Zimu was far more than a simple identity as a suspect, and it was not a turning point that ruined his bright future. It was a stain on his life, an intolerable stain on his self-esteem.
He became famous at a young age, and then he has been walking around the world, solving countless cases, but after being slandered and murdered, he was unable to prove himself and solve the case.
Although Li Zimu said that as long as the case can be solved, he doesn't seem to care much about it, but Ren Qingli knows that Li Zimu will definitely investigate this case himself, otherwise this case will become an existence that he can never let go of in his life.
Just like Xia Guotian was an obsession for Su Yueming.
The car drove forward slowly, Ren Qingli looked at Li Zimu in the rearview mirror, he was actually a little happy that Li Zimu didn't pretend to be in front of him anymore.
But at the same time, he was also a little worried. He said that it was more troublesome to watch a well-behaved child become self-willed. This was undoubtedly the case with Li Zimu.
"If something really happens, don't rush up, at least let me know before you act." Ren Qingli's deep and hoarse voice sounded from inside the car.
Li Zimu's face hidden in the darkness was expressionless, only the corners of his mouth under the streetlight slightly curved up, making Ren Qingli's heart speed up uncontrollably.
Ren Qingli's heart was beating non-stop, and Li Zimu's voice came, "Okay... Father Ren."
The corner of Ren Qingli's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he almost stepped on the brake instead of the accelerator.
