Today is also missed!
Chapter 36: Seeing Parents
001.
Li Zilin froze in place, and after a long while his dull brain gradually woke up. At that time, Li Zimu, who was staring at him, had already fallen asleep.
Hearing the explosive news like thunder on the flat ground, Li Zilin grabbed his hair tangled and rubbed it for a while.
He really wanted to wake up Li Zimu and ask him whether the matter was true or not, but seeing Li Zimu's weak face, he couldn't do anything.And he was also a little scared, because Li Zimu seldom lied in front of him.
If Li Zimu told him that what he just said was true, what should he do?
It's not that Li Zilin has never heard of falling in love with a man. He lives in a place where there are many people of the same sex. He has seen such a situation before, but he never thought that his younger brother would do the same...
Li Zilin, who was extremely sleepy, stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, but now he couldn't fall asleep at all.
After being surprised at the beginning, he started to run the train with his mind full, and he was even a little entangled. Now, is it his piggy who stole other people's cabbage, or is it that other people's cabbage came and got kicked by their piglet?
Li Zilin was not feeling well, he tossed and turned, without sleep all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Zimu woke up, and when he got up to take a shower refreshed, Li Zilin sat on the head of the bed with dark circles under his eyes and stared at him quietly.
As an older brother, Li Zilin felt it was necessary for him to talk to his younger brother about this matter.
"Is what you said last night true?" Li Zilin was lucky.
"Huh?" Li Zimu, who was washing clumsily with his left hand, was full of foam.
"It's the durian thing."
"Woooooooo..."
"Does your parents know about this?"
"Woooooooo..."
"When did this happen?"
"Woooooooo..."
"What are you going to do next?"
"Woooooooo..."
In the living room, everyone in the group stared blankly, listening to the weird conversation between the two brothers, how did Li Zilin understand what Li Zimu said?
The group of people barely slept last night, and they squinted for a while when they couldn't hold on until after six o'clock in the morning. At this moment, they all had two blue and purple panda eyes like Li Zilin.
After reading all the information, not only did everyone fail to figure out what happened back then, but their minds were muddled, and they became more and more confused.
Judging from the results and the data, if they hadn't known Li Zimu first, it would be really hard for them to believe that this incident was not done by Li Zimu.Because all the evidence and all the information point to Li Zimu, there is no flaw.
After breakfast, everyone gathered around the sofa.
"Then everyone will continue to act according to the previous plan. You two, Hu Qing and Su Yueming, will continue to follow up and investigate Xia Guotian's case." Ren Qingli looked at everyone.
Since they have to set up a routine and wait for the other party to dance, they must perform the show well, and they must not let the other party find out that they are prepared.
"I'll let two people go and follow, but you have to be careful yourself, remember to keep in touch frequently, and remember to be safe if there are any abnormalities." Li Zilin said.
While talking, he took a box from the side and opened it, and took two earbud monitors from inside and handed them to the two, "Keep in touch at any time."
Hu Qing and Su Yueming put on their earplugs, checked their mobile phones and the gun they were wearing, and then went out.
The two were sent away, and the rest of them nestled on the sofa again, continuing to study the materials from last night.
After reading all the materials, everyone asked Li Zimu a few questions about this material, but most of them didn't make much sense.They are like a group of flies around the egg looking for a gap, each of them widened their eyes and stretched their necks, hoping to find a small gap.
Compared to everyone's attention to this matter, Li Zimu was more relaxed. His right hand was injured and he couldn't do many things, so he was thinking about Xia Guotian's case alone.
After lunch, he was asked by everyone to go to bed and take another nap.
Li Zilin followed him all the time, hesitated to speak a few times, and finally closed his mouth with a tangled expression.
Because Li Zilin suddenly found out about that incident last night, now Li Zilin couldn't help but become a little awkward when facing Ren Qingli, which also made Ren Qingli a little uncomfortable.
Ren Qingli suddenly realized that he seemed to be being targeted by Li Zilin!
The two met for the first time yesterday, and they both had a pretty good impression of each other, but since getting up this morning, Li Zilin would stare at him from time to time, sometimes as if he was thinking about something, and sometimes full of murderous intent.
However, he didn't have much time to dwell on this matter, because he and Li Zilin quickly started a discussion on how to set up a scheme.
The department is some distance away from several warehouses next to it. That place is their best hiding place, but there is some distance from there to the department. The two struggled with the map for a long time, and finally chose a location that is more convenient for monitoring It's settled.
On the other side, Tian He is also quite busy. He has been staring at the Internet, trying to find the trace of the other party from his previous contact with the other party.
Not only did he want to help here, he also had to help Hu Qing and Su Yueming investigate Xia Guotian's case.
Just like that, everyone stayed in this room for two days, after Ren Qingli and the others put everything in place, they finally walked out of this room.
Li Zimu followed Ren Qingli and the others back to the department, commuting to and from get off work as usual, as if he had slowly relaxed his vigilance.
But only they know that the department they are in has been surrounded and monitored in a place they can't see nearby.
Back in the department again, after everyone entered the door, the first thing they did was to check the top, bottom and roof of the department carefully.
This inspection was also fruitful. After Tian He walked around the house with the signal receiver several times, the receiver lived up to expectations.
In front of Ding Yixin's desk next to Li Zimu, the annunciator kept sending out silent reminders. Upon seeing this, several people nearby hurried forward wearing gloves.
After careful inspection, everyone found a miniature monitor from the corner of the cabinet under the table.
After finding the item, Ren Qingli was the first to take it for inspection, and after not finding any useful fingerprints or DNA, he put the item back in its original place.
After Ren Qingli left, Tian He fiddled around the desk for a long time, trying to monitor the signal on the other side in reverse.
Seeing Tian He fiddling in front of the computer, everyone walked over silently.
Ding Yixin took a notebook and wrote on it, and asked how Tian He was?
Tian He shook his head, took the notebook and wrote a sentence on it: I don't know, but the signal reception range of this kind of monitor is not very large. If he is not here, there is a signal transfer station nearby.
Ding Yixin took it and wrote another sentence, and then showed it to Ren Qingli: Do you want them to find a signal transfer station?
If they could find out each other's exact location, they wouldn't have to bother so much.
Ren Qingli read this sentence before opening his mouth, Li Zimu on the side had already snatched the notebook and wrote: Don't do it for now, so as not to startle the snake.
After thinking about it, he added another sentence: And we can't be sure that the other party is monitoring us now.
Ren Qingli looked at what Li Zimu wrote, thought about it and gave up.But he still took his mobile phone and told Li Zilin who was staying in the nearby warehouse about the matter.
While Ren Qingli was typing on his mobile phone, Tian He took an envelope and handed it to Li Zimu, "It's for you. I've checked it. It's still the same family as last time."
Li Zimu took it over and looked at it. It was a letter from a lawyer, or Huang Qunguang's family...
Li Zimu opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he couldn't laugh or cry. The other party invited him to meet him to discuss how to settle it out of court.
The lawyer's letter was written by a lawyer, but even so, it can be seen from those words that Huang Qunguang's family is not ready to let it go.
Moreover, the other party gave a specific time, and finally said that he hoped that Li Zimu would not miss the appointment, otherwise he would have to use other channels to invite Li Zimu to meet.In short, just sue him if you don't go.
"Why don't you just report this matter to the bureau and let them deal with it!" Ding Yixin suggested after reading the letter.
They are currently busy with Xia Guotian's case and Li Zimu's affairs. They are so busy, who has time to accompany them?
Li Zimu thought for a while and nodded. It is indeed better for the Bureau to come forward for this kind of matter, and he really doesn't care about it now.
Seeing that Li Zimu agreed, Ding Yixin took the letter, and when he decided to go to the next bureau, he would report this matter to the bureau chief by the way.
After discussing this matter, everyone returned to their desks, and then continued to ponder Xia Guotian's case.
Hu Qing and Su Yueming have been investigating this case for several days, but they found very little. After checking the clubhouse and finding no news, the two turned their heads to check the last place where Xia Guotian's car was parked. .
The car is not parked in the community, but parked on a roadside not far outside the community.
There is no surveillance over there, so the two can only visit.
But after two days, the two of them searched the whole street, but they didn't find any useful information, so now the two of them focused their attention on those people in Xia Guotian's business field.
These people are much more difficult to investigate than other people. Needless to say, everyone knows who Xia Guotian comes into contact with in the business field. Some of the things said by such people are true and some are false. Know.
After everyone gathered together to sort out Xia Guotian's case, Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli, "Is there any other information on the corpse?"
After returning to the department, Ren Qingli re-examined the corpse, but the information obtained was the same as before, and had not been updated. "There are no new clues on the corpse."
"By the way, his family has come here." Tian He said, "His house is now the scene of the crime, and there are no people to live in, so their family is now living in a nearby hotel."
"I'll go talk to them and see if there are any clues." Ding Yixin offered to propose.
Seeing this, Bai Fei stood up, and the two acted together.
Not long after the two left, Hu Qing and the others called.
They just received a call from a person in the community, claiming to be someone who had seen the forced traffic.After hearing the news, the two rushed over immediately, but they saw a group of people.
Xia Guotian's car was finally parked on a street outside the community. The caller was a woman in her forties and fifties, and the others were just good sisters who came with her.
According to that person, she once saw someone park their car here, get out of the car, pull a suitcase and leave.At that time, she didn't pay much attention, she didn't know the other person's appearance, she just took a quick look at the back.
"There are a lot of people parking illegally here. People in several nearby neighborhoods park here when they have nowhere to park. We are used to blocking the road." One of the good sisters said, her words immediately attracted the attention of several people nearby. cater.
"I met him around 11:30."
"Why so sure?"
"At that time, I was picking up my grandson to go home for dinner. It was exactly 35:[-] when I walked from downstairs to upstairs, so it was about [-] when I met him."
"Then can you describe that person in detail?" Hu Qing asked.
After running for so many days, it was the first time they got so close to the murderer.
002.
"It's a man, not very old, wearing jeans and a black shirt, and then I don't know." The person on the phone said.
Hu Qing and Su Yueming looked at each other, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Can you think of anything else? For example, how tall is he, or what direction is he going?"
"I don't know about that. I just glanced at it casually when I was picking up the child from school. He was pulling a sky blue suitcase, which was quite big, so I noticed him."
"How big is it?" Hu Qing asked.
The man gestured at the suitcase, which reached to her buttocks, and it was a relatively large suitcase.
"What's the suitcase like?"
"What about a suitcase? It's just an ordinary suitcase, the kind sold everywhere on the street."
"Then did you see where he was pulling the suitcase?"
"I don't remember, I really just glanced at it." She thought for a while, "Oh, by the way, he carried the suitcase and walked quite fast, closing the car door and leaving."
"Carried away?" Both Hu Qing and Su Yueming were surprised.
Hearing this news and knowing that the other party took the suitcase, they thought at first that the other party was using the suitcase to transport the corpse. Did they make a mistake again?
But if they hadn't made a mistake, Xia Guotian was an adult man, with such height and weight, no matter how strong that man was, he wouldn't be able to lift him up with one hand, right?
Knowing that the other party picked up the box and walked away, both Hu Qing and Su Yueming were a little disappointed, but they still asked about other related things normally, and finally left their contact information.
After the inquiry here, the two immediately called Li Zimu and told him about the situation here.
Several people in the department were as surprised as the two of them when they heard the news, "You mean he carried the suitcase away?"
"I'm sure I'm not mistaken. I've asked several times. She made sure that the other party pulled the suitcase out from the back seat, and then walked away with it, very fast." Hu Qing said.
Hearing Hu Qing's affirmative answer, Li Zimu fell into deep thought in the department.
After excluding the possibility that the opponent is really strong enough to lift a grown man with one hand, there are only two possibilities left.The first is that Xia Guotian hadn't been killed at that time, and the second is that Xia Guotian's body had already been removed.
"I'm wondering if this is a wrong message." Hu Qing was a little uncertain.
"Why do you think so?"
"We visited there for two days before, but we didn't find any news. I wondered if it was because we kept asking there, so she made a mistake and took someone else as the person we were looking for. .”
It is not without reason that Hu Qing thinks so. Ren Qingli’s inspection report cannot be wrong, so the other party must have had the accident between eleven o’clock and twelve o’clock, but if the other party got off the car when the box It's already empty, so when did he kill the person?
They have surveillance video of Xia Guotian driving away at 11 o'clock. They are afraid that the time of departure is about 30:[-], a few minutes before and after. How could the other party kill someone and dispose of the body?
"Unless... Xia Guotian has already been killed at that time." Li Zimu immediately turned to look at Tian He next to him, "Call out the surveillance camera where he left the community before."
Tian He's movements were quick, and Li Zimu only came to him, and he had already switched out the surveillance.
There were two sections of monitoring that day, one was when the car drove in, and the other was when the car drove out.
The monitoring position cannot clearly see the people sitting in the car, but the hands and clothes of the driver can be seen.
In the video, after Xia Guotian reached the door and swiped his card through the window, he drove the car in, and it was the same when he came out.
From the video, it can be seen that the other party is wearing Xia Guotian's watch, and the clothes are the same as those on the corpse. It is also for this reason that they have always regarded it as Xia Guotian.
But look now, even though this person was driving Xia Guotian's car, swiping Xia Guotian's access card, wearing the other's clothes, and wearing Xia Guotian's watch, they didn't see each other's face.
"What do you mean?" Hu Qing on the other end of the phone couldn't see the surveillance, so he could only ask aloud.
"We made a mistake from the beginning. He only left alive, but never returned alive." Li Zimu was suddenly awakened.
They had always thought that the other party left in the morning and went back at noon, then went out to eat, and was killed at this time.But from now on, the other party didn't come back alive after leaving the community in the morning.
The person who drove Xia Guotian's car back at noon wearing his clothes was not Xia Guotian himself, but the murderer.
"Check the video of him leaving at the clubhouse again." Li Zimu said to Tian He again.
Tian He took action immediately, and the video was called out after a short while. Several people watched it patiently. Now they saw the problem without Li Zimu's words.
There was only a back view in the video, just like in the car, they were not sure whether the other party was Xia Guotian, even though the other party was wearing Xia Guotian's clothes and carrying his watch.
"This person is very similar to Xia Guotian in terms of height and body shape." Tian He took a screenshot of the video, compared it with the table next to him, and calculated the approximate height of the other person.
It is precisely because these two people are similar, coupled with preconceived notions, that they do not detect each other's tricks. "If the person who left at this time was not Xia Guotian, then he must have been controlled in the club at this time." Ren Qingli said,
"So our murderer is still in the clubhouse."
"The time of death was from eleven o'clock to twelve o'clock. If the deviation was half an hour, it is very likely that he was drowned between 40:11 and 30:[-]. If the time is earlier, there will be more suspects." Li Zimu said.
Their previous investigation time was between eleven o'clock and one or two o'clock, because the other party had killed a person and needed to move the body. Now it seems that their time has to be raised by about two hours, because the other party had already died before twelve o'clock. Completed the entire murder plan.
After learning the news they got from the surveillance video, Hu Qing and Su Yueming immediately went to the clubhouse to re-investigate everyone's suspicions.
Ding Yixin, who left to meet Xia Guotian's family, also brought them good news.
According to the family members of the other party, Xia Guotian mentioned that his ticket was lost that morning, and later said that the ticket was found.
"The ticket is in his hand." Ren Qingli said.
While talking, he went to the side to look through the documents and found out the report he made before. He did find his wallet from Xia Guotian's pocket, which contained all his tickets.
It was eight or nine o'clock in the morning when Xia Guotian called to tell his family about this matter.
Judging from the information they have now, it should be that the suspect got his ticket, and then called him to tell him to go to the club to get it. Xia Guotian went there and was killed.
In order to cover up the crime of murder, after killing the man, the murderer drove him back to the community in his car wearing his clothes and his watch. After placing the body, he drove away again and finally parked the car in the next to the roadside.
"I checked again here. It was [-]:[-] when he called the people in the clubhouse, and the clubhouse just opened." Tian He checked the call records.
Although the clubhouse opened early in the morning, it opened very late. After all, there were almost no people who went to take a bath in the morning.The reason why they open the door so early is because there are guests staying overnight at night.
The lobby manager said that it was because some regular customers took a bath here and felt comfortable, and they didn't want to drive home again, so they would book a room upstairs to rest.
They didn't bother to find out what the upstairs room was for now, but they wanted to know that it wasn't just for rest.
"Let Hu Qing and the others find out who is calling." Li Zimu said.
After about half an hour, Hu Qing and the others made progress.
Xia Guotian had been to the clubhouse the day before the incident, and the next morning, the employee in charge of cleaning the bath found his wallet, so he called Xia Guotian and asked him to get it.
That person was also their suspect before, he was Guang Mingxu who had transferred time with another employee to join the National Day holiday.
But he insisted that although he made the call, he gave Xia Guotian the things after seeing Xia Guotian this morning, and he always thought that the other party left after getting the things.
Regarding this point, although no employee in the store saw him giving things to Xia Guotian, he was always in the store from eleven to twelve o'clock, and there was always a witness.
Hu Qing and Su Yueming had already controlled the people in the store, and Li Zimu and the others rushed over immediately.
When a group of people arrived, the lobby manager's face was dark.
After entering the door, Li Zimu and Ren Qingli immediately went to Hu Qing who was next to them. They borrowed a place and were chatting with each other about the previous affairs.
The other party insisted that he did not kill the man, he just returned the ticket to the other party.
"...You said you went to work on yourself after you gave him the things?" Su Yueming asked.
"That's right, I have someone who can prove that I've been busy from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, and eleven o'clock." Guang Mingxu said.
"But the other party didn't leave."
"How do I know? I really just returned the things to him at that time, and after chatting with him for a few more words, I went to do my own business. He is a regular customer in our store. After the things were given to him, did he immediately If you leave, I won't be able to follow."
"And I've been with other people since then. Even if I want to kill him, I have to have that time! Besides, didn't you get surveillance and say that he has left?"
003.
"Whether he leaves or not is our business, you can answer my question honestly now." Su Yueming said.
Guang Mingxu was obviously not convinced, "I really didn't kill people, I can swear to God."
Li Zimu and Ren Qingli listened outside the door for a while, seeing that the people inside had already begun to swear, they pushed the door in and called Su Yueming, and the three stood beside them and chatted for a while.
"He has a certificate. He was doing cleaning with another person at nine o'clock, ten o'clock and eleven o'clock. They were in charge of the lobby, so there were quite a lot of people who saw them." Su Yueming said.
"Then what about the other people?" Ren Qingli asked, although Guang Mingxu called him, it is also possible that someone else did it.
"It's still the same as before. These four people have more time. Although they didn't stay all morning, they didn't notice for a while."
"Wu Ang, the nephew of the lobby manager, is quite satisfied with his time, but he has a witness here after eleven o'clock. If he killed the person, he should move the body in the community at that time." Su Yueming said.
After a slight pause, Su Yueming said again: "The last suspect, Ji Hongpeng, did not have an alibi from ten to eleven o'clock, but the time is too short to complete the whole process."
Ren Qingli thought for a while but couldn't come up with a logical solution. He looked at Li Zimu at the side, and was about to ask him what he thought, when he found that Li Zimu was looking thoughtfully into the room with a calm expression on his face. Guang Mingxu.
"What's wrong?" Ren Qingli asked softly.
"Maybe what they said is true." Li Zimu said softly.
"What?" Ren Qingli didn't understand.
"Isn't the murderer someone from here?" Su Yueming was surprised.
"We always thought this was a crime committed by one person." Li Zimu looked at Guang Mingxu with a calm face inside, and he suddenly had an idea.
"You mean they collaborated in the case?" Su Yueming and Ren Qingli looked at each other.
"Guang Mingxu is free at [-] or [-] in the morning. He called Xia Guotian over and carried out the kidnapping. Ji Hongpeng was not there from [-] to [-] and could monitor him. Fan Bo was not seen from [-] to [-]. He It can kill people, and as for the corpse, there is one person who can have time to send it back to the community."
The two frowned upon hearing this.
"But didn't Wu Ang have an alibi? He was here between eleven and twelve o'clock..." Su Yueming quieted down before finishing his sentence, because it was Fan Bo who made the alibi for Wu Ang .
They have been investigating Wu Ang before, but they have not found any proof that he was not there. Wu Ang himself claimed that he slept at home until two or three o'clock. When they investigated again later, Fan Bo said that he had seen him after eleven o'clock. .
This alibi came in a timely manner, completely freeing Wu Ang from suspicion.
After Su Yueming was silent for a while, he went to the side and called several other people over, and told what happened just now.
This new idea proposed by Li Zimu made several people feel a little unbelievable, but judging from the current situation, it is the most reasonable.
"But what about the monitoring records of the clubhouse?" Hu Qing asked.
The murderer once pretended to be Xia Guotian and left the clubhouse, and the monitoring also misled them at first.
"Who is free at that time?" Li Zimu asked.
Su Yueming thought for a while and said, "Ji Hongpeng."
After speaking, Su Yueming immediately recalled the situation when he met Ji Hongpeng before, "His height and figure are indeed similar to Xia Guotian, and the rest are either a little shorter or a little thinner, and the difference is quite large."
"But how do we prove it now?" Ding Yixin asked. These four people all had their own alibi. Unless they could find definite evidence, the other party would definitely not plead guilty easily.
Li Zimu thought for a while and said, "I'm going to apply for a search warrant."
Now that they have confirmed that Xia Guotian was indeed killed here, they can apply for a search, hoping to find some useful clues.
It's just that although they all expected so much, everyone knew in their hearts that it had been more than ten days since Xia Guotian died, and the murderer had a lot of time to destroy the evidence.
After making up their minds, everyone took action.
After the above search warrant came out, everyone immediately sealed off the entire store.
Li Zimu and Ren Qingli put on protective clothing and began to check all the bathing pools. The rest of the people searched other places, trying to find any useful clues. Xia Guotian proved this point.
Except for Xia Guotian's lounge, Hu Qing and the others were assigned the task of searching other lounges. There were only seven people in their team. Except for Li Zimu, Ren Qingli, and Tian He, the remaining four people all rushed here. thing.
But even so, it is still very difficult to search, because the clubhouse is really too big.
They used to come downstairs a few times before, and rarely went upstairs. Now they have to search side by side. There are several floors of accommodation rooms upstairs, and there are several rooms on each floor. The whole is a large hotel hostel.
It was very difficult for Hu Qing and the others to search, but it was impossible for Ren Qingli and the others to start.
The staff had already started the sanitation a long time ago and now it's done, so basically all the bathrooms they go to are spotlessly clean.
Even if there is any evidence left, it is probably destroyed by those cleaning fluids.
Two people wearing protective suits checked each other next to each other. After checking four or five rooms in a row, their hands were still empty, because they hadn't found anything yet.
"The other party obviously has a premeditated plan." After finding nothing in another bathroom, the two walked out Ren Qingli while talking.
The other party probably chose such a time for the sake of sanitation, because in this way, even if they cleaned all the places with disinfectant, no one would suspect anything.
Moreover, the other party was very smart, and did not choose to let Xia Guotian die by being injured and bleeding, but chose to drown. In this way, they could not find any blood at all.
The results of the facts proved that their premonition was correct. The other party did not leave any evidence for them. After checking all the pools one by one, they found nothing. Even the pool that Xia Guotian frequented was empty. .
Their side finished the search before Hu Qing's side. After the inspection, the two of them went to the hall for a short rest.
All the employees in the store, including Wu Ang, were gathered in the hall. Seeing the two of them approaching, they all looked over curiously, and the face of the manager in the lobby was as dark as charcoal.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Ren Qingli handed over the things to Li Zimu for management.
Li Zimu ignored the others, found a seat beside him and sat down. After resting for a while, he took out his mobile phone, on which his brother sent him several messages.
It's not important information, just asking him about going back.
Li Zimu was sleepy before, but his brother kept quarreling with him, so he simply told his brother about Ren Qingli, originally to scare him.
In fact, he did scare his brother, but after that, his brother took it seriously and kept thinking about when to arrange for him to go back.
Because he was afraid that the impact of this incident would be too great for the two old men to accept, he even started to do psychological dredging for them...
Li Zimu was confused by him, and now it's hard to tell him that he was just trying to scare him, so now he himself is in a dilemma because he hasn't told Ren Qingli about it.
Ren Qingli didn't even know that his stinky daughter-in-law was about to meet her in-laws.
Li Zimu read all the information. In addition to his brother's information, there was actually a message about Huang Qunguang's lawyer.
The other party said that his law firm was nearby, and asked Li Zimu when he could meet.
Li Zimu simply replied to his brother's message, and then returned to the lawyer to tell him that he was not free recently, and then put away the phone.
After sitting for a while, Ren Qingli came back.
"I saw a utility room behind the toilet, and there seemed to be a lot of things in it." Ren Qingli said.
"Want to go and see?"
"Go and have a look, I also saw some old carpets put away." Ren Qingli carried the toolbox and led the way there.
In early October, the store was preparing for an event, so many old things were replaced, and the carpet was one of them.
When the two went to the old place, Li Zimu looked in the direction Ren Qingli pointed, and he saw a bunch of old things.
There are some stools, chairs, tablecloths, sofas and carpets that have been used for some time. It seems that there are new and old ones. The old ones should have been here for a long time, and the new ones seem to have been moved here recently. .
The two of them stepped forward and inspected the newly moved old carpets.
The carpet had been shaken, and there was nothing in it except for some heavy dust and the occasional few hairs.
"Why don't we go to the staff dormitory first?" Ren Qingli said again after finding nothing in the carpet.
"Let's go to Wu Ang's dormitory first!" Li Zimu said.
There are a lot of people in the staff dormitory, so it is more difficult to check. They haven't found anything today, so it's better to go to Wu Ang to see if they can find anything useful, and then check the staff dormitory.
Ren Qingli naturally agreed with Li Zimu's proposal, and the two collected their things and headed there.
Wu Ang's dormitory is not far from the clubhouse. After entering the door, both of them couldn't help covering their noses. There was a strong smell of alcohol in the room, and there was also a smell like instant noodles.
Wu Ang's daily habits are not good. There are still piles of instant noodles in the room that he didn't finish eating last night, and there are a few wine bottles beside him that he doesn't know when he will finish drinking.The quilt was not folded in the sleeping bedroom, and the worn clothes were thrown on the bedside.
Li Zimu walked around the room and was about to find a place to start when Ren Qingli's voice came from the bedroom, "Come here."
Li Zimu walked over, and Ren Qingli was standing next to the closet.He went over to look, and there was a suitcase in the closet, blue, similar to what the previous witness said.
The two men took the box out, opened it and looked at it, the box was empty, and looked quite new, as if it had never been used.
Ren Qingli lifted the box to the door and put it there, and took it back for inspection when he was about to go back.
"Are you free after this case is over?" Li Zimu asked suddenly.
"what happened?"
"How do you plan to live someday?" Li Zimu changed his words.
Ren Qingli didn't expect that Li Zimu would say this to him, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "How do you want to live?"
Li Zimu glanced at him, he felt that Ren Qingli was very strange, it was Ren Qingli's birthday and not him.
"Then why don't we have a meal together and find a place to sit?" Ren Qingli said, because he had forgotten about Li Zimu's matter before, but now that Li Zimu mentioned it, he remembered his matter Birthday is almost here.
Originally, he planned to finish the last case, so he arranged for this birthday, but so many things happened later.
"Yes." After a pause, Li Zimu said again: "After your birthday, go with me to a place."
"Where are you going?" Ren Qingli smiled. Is Li Zimu asking him out?This is the first time.
"my home."
"Okay, but why did you suddenly bring me to your house?" Ren Qingli was puzzled.
"Meet the parents."
"Huh?" Ren Qingli blinked, "What did you say?"
Li Zilin froze in place, and after a long while his dull brain gradually woke up. At that time, Li Zimu, who was staring at him, had already fallen asleep.
Hearing the explosive news like thunder on the flat ground, Li Zilin grabbed his hair tangled and rubbed it for a while.
He really wanted to wake up Li Zimu and ask him whether the matter was true or not, but seeing Li Zimu's weak face, he couldn't do anything.And he was also a little scared, because Li Zimu seldom lied in front of him.
If Li Zimu told him that what he just said was true, what should he do?
It's not that Li Zilin has never heard of falling in love with a man. He lives in a place where there are many people of the same sex. He has seen such a situation before, but he never thought that his younger brother would do the same...
Li Zilin, who was extremely sleepy, stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, but now he couldn't fall asleep at all.
After being surprised at the beginning, he started to run the train with his mind full, and he was even a little entangled. Now, is it his piggy who stole other people's cabbage, or is it that other people's cabbage came and got kicked by their piglet?
Li Zilin was not feeling well, he tossed and turned, without sleep all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Zimu woke up, and when he got up to take a shower refreshed, Li Zilin sat on the head of the bed with dark circles under his eyes and stared at him quietly.
As an older brother, Li Zilin felt it was necessary for him to talk to his younger brother about this matter.
"Is what you said last night true?" Li Zilin was lucky.
"Huh?" Li Zimu, who was washing clumsily with his left hand, was full of foam.
"It's the durian thing."
"Woooooooo..."
"Does your parents know about this?"
"Woooooooo..."
"When did this happen?"
"Woooooooo..."
"What are you going to do next?"
"Woooooooo..."
In the living room, everyone in the group stared blankly, listening to the weird conversation between the two brothers, how did Li Zilin understand what Li Zimu said?
The group of people barely slept last night, and they squinted for a while when they couldn't hold on until after six o'clock in the morning. At this moment, they all had two blue and purple panda eyes like Li Zilin.
After reading all the information, not only did everyone fail to figure out what happened back then, but their minds were muddled, and they became more and more confused.
Judging from the results and the data, if they hadn't known Li Zimu first, it would be really hard for them to believe that this incident was not done by Li Zimu.Because all the evidence and all the information point to Li Zimu, there is no flaw.
After breakfast, everyone gathered around the sofa.
"Then everyone will continue to act according to the previous plan. You two, Hu Qing and Su Yueming, will continue to follow up and investigate Xia Guotian's case." Ren Qingli looked at everyone.
Since they have to set up a routine and wait for the other party to dance, they must perform the show well, and they must not let the other party find out that they are prepared.
"I'll let two people go and follow, but you have to be careful yourself, remember to keep in touch frequently, and remember to be safe if there are any abnormalities." Li Zilin said.
While talking, he took a box from the side and opened it, and took two earbud monitors from inside and handed them to the two, "Keep in touch at any time."
Hu Qing and Su Yueming put on their earplugs, checked their mobile phones and the gun they were wearing, and then went out.
The two were sent away, and the rest of them nestled on the sofa again, continuing to study the materials from last night.
After reading all the materials, everyone asked Li Zimu a few questions about this material, but most of them didn't make much sense.They are like a group of flies around the egg looking for a gap, each of them widened their eyes and stretched their necks, hoping to find a small gap.
Compared to everyone's attention to this matter, Li Zimu was more relaxed. His right hand was injured and he couldn't do many things, so he was thinking about Xia Guotian's case alone.
After lunch, he was asked by everyone to go to bed and take another nap.
Li Zilin followed him all the time, hesitated to speak a few times, and finally closed his mouth with a tangled expression.
Because Li Zilin suddenly found out about that incident last night, now Li Zilin couldn't help but become a little awkward when facing Ren Qingli, which also made Ren Qingli a little uncomfortable.
Ren Qingli suddenly realized that he seemed to be being targeted by Li Zilin!
The two met for the first time yesterday, and they both had a pretty good impression of each other, but since getting up this morning, Li Zilin would stare at him from time to time, sometimes as if he was thinking about something, and sometimes full of murderous intent.
However, he didn't have much time to dwell on this matter, because he and Li Zilin quickly started a discussion on how to set up a scheme.
The department is some distance away from several warehouses next to it. That place is their best hiding place, but there is some distance from there to the department. The two struggled with the map for a long time, and finally chose a location that is more convenient for monitoring It's settled.
On the other side, Tian He is also quite busy. He has been staring at the Internet, trying to find the trace of the other party from his previous contact with the other party.
Not only did he want to help here, he also had to help Hu Qing and Su Yueming investigate Xia Guotian's case.
Just like that, everyone stayed in this room for two days, after Ren Qingli and the others put everything in place, they finally walked out of this room.
Li Zimu followed Ren Qingli and the others back to the department, commuting to and from get off work as usual, as if he had slowly relaxed his vigilance.
But only they know that the department they are in has been surrounded and monitored in a place they can't see nearby.
Back in the department again, after everyone entered the door, the first thing they did was to check the top, bottom and roof of the department carefully.
This inspection was also fruitful. After Tian He walked around the house with the signal receiver several times, the receiver lived up to expectations.
In front of Ding Yixin's desk next to Li Zimu, the annunciator kept sending out silent reminders. Upon seeing this, several people nearby hurried forward wearing gloves.
After careful inspection, everyone found a miniature monitor from the corner of the cabinet under the table.
After finding the item, Ren Qingli was the first to take it for inspection, and after not finding any useful fingerprints or DNA, he put the item back in its original place.
After Ren Qingli left, Tian He fiddled around the desk for a long time, trying to monitor the signal on the other side in reverse.
Seeing Tian He fiddling in front of the computer, everyone walked over silently.
Ding Yixin took a notebook and wrote on it, and asked how Tian He was?
Tian He shook his head, took the notebook and wrote a sentence on it: I don't know, but the signal reception range of this kind of monitor is not very large. If he is not here, there is a signal transfer station nearby.
Ding Yixin took it and wrote another sentence, and then showed it to Ren Qingli: Do you want them to find a signal transfer station?
If they could find out each other's exact location, they wouldn't have to bother so much.
Ren Qingli read this sentence before opening his mouth, Li Zimu on the side had already snatched the notebook and wrote: Don't do it for now, so as not to startle the snake.
After thinking about it, he added another sentence: And we can't be sure that the other party is monitoring us now.
Ren Qingli looked at what Li Zimu wrote, thought about it and gave up.But he still took his mobile phone and told Li Zilin who was staying in the nearby warehouse about the matter.
While Ren Qingli was typing on his mobile phone, Tian He took an envelope and handed it to Li Zimu, "It's for you. I've checked it. It's still the same family as last time."
Li Zimu took it over and looked at it. It was a letter from a lawyer, or Huang Qunguang's family...
Li Zimu opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he couldn't laugh or cry. The other party invited him to meet him to discuss how to settle it out of court.
The lawyer's letter was written by a lawyer, but even so, it can be seen from those words that Huang Qunguang's family is not ready to let it go.
Moreover, the other party gave a specific time, and finally said that he hoped that Li Zimu would not miss the appointment, otherwise he would have to use other channels to invite Li Zimu to meet.In short, just sue him if you don't go.
"Why don't you just report this matter to the bureau and let them deal with it!" Ding Yixin suggested after reading the letter.
They are currently busy with Xia Guotian's case and Li Zimu's affairs. They are so busy, who has time to accompany them?
Li Zimu thought for a while and nodded. It is indeed better for the Bureau to come forward for this kind of matter, and he really doesn't care about it now.
Seeing that Li Zimu agreed, Ding Yixin took the letter, and when he decided to go to the next bureau, he would report this matter to the bureau chief by the way.
After discussing this matter, everyone returned to their desks, and then continued to ponder Xia Guotian's case.
Hu Qing and Su Yueming have been investigating this case for several days, but they found very little. After checking the clubhouse and finding no news, the two turned their heads to check the last place where Xia Guotian's car was parked. .
The car is not parked in the community, but parked on a roadside not far outside the community.
There is no surveillance over there, so the two can only visit.
But after two days, the two of them searched the whole street, but they didn't find any useful information, so now the two of them focused their attention on those people in Xia Guotian's business field.
These people are much more difficult to investigate than other people. Needless to say, everyone knows who Xia Guotian comes into contact with in the business field. Some of the things said by such people are true and some are false. Know.
After everyone gathered together to sort out Xia Guotian's case, Li Zimu looked at Ren Qingli, "Is there any other information on the corpse?"
After returning to the department, Ren Qingli re-examined the corpse, but the information obtained was the same as before, and had not been updated. "There are no new clues on the corpse."
"By the way, his family has come here." Tian He said, "His house is now the scene of the crime, and there are no people to live in, so their family is now living in a nearby hotel."
"I'll go talk to them and see if there are any clues." Ding Yixin offered to propose.
Seeing this, Bai Fei stood up, and the two acted together.
Not long after the two left, Hu Qing and the others called.
They just received a call from a person in the community, claiming to be someone who had seen the forced traffic.After hearing the news, the two rushed over immediately, but they saw a group of people.
Xia Guotian's car was finally parked on a street outside the community. The caller was a woman in her forties and fifties, and the others were just good sisters who came with her.
According to that person, she once saw someone park their car here, get out of the car, pull a suitcase and leave.At that time, she didn't pay much attention, she didn't know the other person's appearance, she just took a quick look at the back.
"There are a lot of people parking illegally here. People in several nearby neighborhoods park here when they have nowhere to park. We are used to blocking the road." One of the good sisters said, her words immediately attracted the attention of several people nearby. cater.
"I met him around 11:30."
"Why so sure?"
"At that time, I was picking up my grandson to go home for dinner. It was exactly 35:[-] when I walked from downstairs to upstairs, so it was about [-] when I met him."
"Then can you describe that person in detail?" Hu Qing asked.
After running for so many days, it was the first time they got so close to the murderer.
002.
"It's a man, not very old, wearing jeans and a black shirt, and then I don't know." The person on the phone said.
Hu Qing and Su Yueming looked at each other, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Can you think of anything else? For example, how tall is he, or what direction is he going?"
"I don't know about that. I just glanced at it casually when I was picking up the child from school. He was pulling a sky blue suitcase, which was quite big, so I noticed him."
"How big is it?" Hu Qing asked.
The man gestured at the suitcase, which reached to her buttocks, and it was a relatively large suitcase.
"What's the suitcase like?"
"What about a suitcase? It's just an ordinary suitcase, the kind sold everywhere on the street."
"Then did you see where he was pulling the suitcase?"
"I don't remember, I really just glanced at it." She thought for a while, "Oh, by the way, he carried the suitcase and walked quite fast, closing the car door and leaving."
"Carried away?" Both Hu Qing and Su Yueming were surprised.
Hearing this news and knowing that the other party took the suitcase, they thought at first that the other party was using the suitcase to transport the corpse. Did they make a mistake again?
But if they hadn't made a mistake, Xia Guotian was an adult man, with such height and weight, no matter how strong that man was, he wouldn't be able to lift him up with one hand, right?
Knowing that the other party picked up the box and walked away, both Hu Qing and Su Yueming were a little disappointed, but they still asked about other related things normally, and finally left their contact information.
After the inquiry here, the two immediately called Li Zimu and told him about the situation here.
Several people in the department were as surprised as the two of them when they heard the news, "You mean he carried the suitcase away?"
"I'm sure I'm not mistaken. I've asked several times. She made sure that the other party pulled the suitcase out from the back seat, and then walked away with it, very fast." Hu Qing said.
Hearing Hu Qing's affirmative answer, Li Zimu fell into deep thought in the department.
After excluding the possibility that the opponent is really strong enough to lift a grown man with one hand, there are only two possibilities left.The first is that Xia Guotian hadn't been killed at that time, and the second is that Xia Guotian's body had already been removed.
"I'm wondering if this is a wrong message." Hu Qing was a little uncertain.
"Why do you think so?"
"We visited there for two days before, but we didn't find any news. I wondered if it was because we kept asking there, so she made a mistake and took someone else as the person we were looking for. .”
It is not without reason that Hu Qing thinks so. Ren Qingli’s inspection report cannot be wrong, so the other party must have had the accident between eleven o’clock and twelve o’clock, but if the other party got off the car when the box It's already empty, so when did he kill the person?
They have surveillance video of Xia Guotian driving away at 11 o'clock. They are afraid that the time of departure is about 30:[-], a few minutes before and after. How could the other party kill someone and dispose of the body?
"Unless... Xia Guotian has already been killed at that time." Li Zimu immediately turned to look at Tian He next to him, "Call out the surveillance camera where he left the community before."
Tian He's movements were quick, and Li Zimu only came to him, and he had already switched out the surveillance.
There were two sections of monitoring that day, one was when the car drove in, and the other was when the car drove out.
The monitoring position cannot clearly see the people sitting in the car, but the hands and clothes of the driver can be seen.
In the video, after Xia Guotian reached the door and swiped his card through the window, he drove the car in, and it was the same when he came out.
From the video, it can be seen that the other party is wearing Xia Guotian's watch, and the clothes are the same as those on the corpse. It is also for this reason that they have always regarded it as Xia Guotian.
But look now, even though this person was driving Xia Guotian's car, swiping Xia Guotian's access card, wearing the other's clothes, and wearing Xia Guotian's watch, they didn't see each other's face.
"What do you mean?" Hu Qing on the other end of the phone couldn't see the surveillance, so he could only ask aloud.
"We made a mistake from the beginning. He only left alive, but never returned alive." Li Zimu was suddenly awakened.
They had always thought that the other party left in the morning and went back at noon, then went out to eat, and was killed at this time.But from now on, the other party didn't come back alive after leaving the community in the morning.
The person who drove Xia Guotian's car back at noon wearing his clothes was not Xia Guotian himself, but the murderer.
"Check the video of him leaving at the clubhouse again." Li Zimu said to Tian He again.
Tian He took action immediately, and the video was called out after a short while. Several people watched it patiently. Now they saw the problem without Li Zimu's words.
There was only a back view in the video, just like in the car, they were not sure whether the other party was Xia Guotian, even though the other party was wearing Xia Guotian's clothes and carrying his watch.
"This person is very similar to Xia Guotian in terms of height and body shape." Tian He took a screenshot of the video, compared it with the table next to him, and calculated the approximate height of the other person.
It is precisely because these two people are similar, coupled with preconceived notions, that they do not detect each other's tricks. "If the person who left at this time was not Xia Guotian, then he must have been controlled in the club at this time." Ren Qingli said,
"So our murderer is still in the clubhouse."
"The time of death was from eleven o'clock to twelve o'clock. If the deviation was half an hour, it is very likely that he was drowned between 40:11 and 30:[-]. If the time is earlier, there will be more suspects." Li Zimu said.
Their previous investigation time was between eleven o'clock and one or two o'clock, because the other party had killed a person and needed to move the body. Now it seems that their time has to be raised by about two hours, because the other party had already died before twelve o'clock. Completed the entire murder plan.
After learning the news they got from the surveillance video, Hu Qing and Su Yueming immediately went to the clubhouse to re-investigate everyone's suspicions.
Ding Yixin, who left to meet Xia Guotian's family, also brought them good news.
According to the family members of the other party, Xia Guotian mentioned that his ticket was lost that morning, and later said that the ticket was found.
"The ticket is in his hand." Ren Qingli said.
While talking, he went to the side to look through the documents and found out the report he made before. He did find his wallet from Xia Guotian's pocket, which contained all his tickets.
It was eight or nine o'clock in the morning when Xia Guotian called to tell his family about this matter.
Judging from the information they have now, it should be that the suspect got his ticket, and then called him to tell him to go to the club to get it. Xia Guotian went there and was killed.
In order to cover up the crime of murder, after killing the man, the murderer drove him back to the community in his car wearing his clothes and his watch. After placing the body, he drove away again and finally parked the car in the next to the roadside.
"I checked again here. It was [-]:[-] when he called the people in the clubhouse, and the clubhouse just opened." Tian He checked the call records.
Although the clubhouse opened early in the morning, it opened very late. After all, there were almost no people who went to take a bath in the morning.The reason why they open the door so early is because there are guests staying overnight at night.
The lobby manager said that it was because some regular customers took a bath here and felt comfortable, and they didn't want to drive home again, so they would book a room upstairs to rest.
They didn't bother to find out what the upstairs room was for now, but they wanted to know that it wasn't just for rest.
"Let Hu Qing and the others find out who is calling." Li Zimu said.
After about half an hour, Hu Qing and the others made progress.
Xia Guotian had been to the clubhouse the day before the incident, and the next morning, the employee in charge of cleaning the bath found his wallet, so he called Xia Guotian and asked him to get it.
That person was also their suspect before, he was Guang Mingxu who had transferred time with another employee to join the National Day holiday.
But he insisted that although he made the call, he gave Xia Guotian the things after seeing Xia Guotian this morning, and he always thought that the other party left after getting the things.
Regarding this point, although no employee in the store saw him giving things to Xia Guotian, he was always in the store from eleven to twelve o'clock, and there was always a witness.
Hu Qing and Su Yueming had already controlled the people in the store, and Li Zimu and the others rushed over immediately.
When a group of people arrived, the lobby manager's face was dark.
After entering the door, Li Zimu and Ren Qingli immediately went to Hu Qing who was next to them. They borrowed a place and were chatting with each other about the previous affairs.
The other party insisted that he did not kill the man, he just returned the ticket to the other party.
"...You said you went to work on yourself after you gave him the things?" Su Yueming asked.
"That's right, I have someone who can prove that I've been busy from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, and eleven o'clock." Guang Mingxu said.
"But the other party didn't leave."
"How do I know? I really just returned the things to him at that time, and after chatting with him for a few more words, I went to do my own business. He is a regular customer in our store. After the things were given to him, did he immediately If you leave, I won't be able to follow."
"And I've been with other people since then. Even if I want to kill him, I have to have that time! Besides, didn't you get surveillance and say that he has left?"
003.
"Whether he leaves or not is our business, you can answer my question honestly now." Su Yueming said.
Guang Mingxu was obviously not convinced, "I really didn't kill people, I can swear to God."
Li Zimu and Ren Qingli listened outside the door for a while, seeing that the people inside had already begun to swear, they pushed the door in and called Su Yueming, and the three stood beside them and chatted for a while.
"He has a certificate. He was doing cleaning with another person at nine o'clock, ten o'clock and eleven o'clock. They were in charge of the lobby, so there were quite a lot of people who saw them." Su Yueming said.
"Then what about the other people?" Ren Qingli asked, although Guang Mingxu called him, it is also possible that someone else did it.
"It's still the same as before. These four people have more time. Although they didn't stay all morning, they didn't notice for a while."
"Wu Ang, the nephew of the lobby manager, is quite satisfied with his time, but he has a witness here after eleven o'clock. If he killed the person, he should move the body in the community at that time." Su Yueming said.
After a slight pause, Su Yueming said again: "The last suspect, Ji Hongpeng, did not have an alibi from ten to eleven o'clock, but the time is too short to complete the whole process."
Ren Qingli thought for a while but couldn't come up with a logical solution. He looked at Li Zimu at the side, and was about to ask him what he thought, when he found that Li Zimu was looking thoughtfully into the room with a calm expression on his face. Guang Mingxu.
"What's wrong?" Ren Qingli asked softly.
"Maybe what they said is true." Li Zimu said softly.
"What?" Ren Qingli didn't understand.
"Isn't the murderer someone from here?" Su Yueming was surprised.
"We always thought this was a crime committed by one person." Li Zimu looked at Guang Mingxu with a calm face inside, and he suddenly had an idea.
"You mean they collaborated in the case?" Su Yueming and Ren Qingli looked at each other.
"Guang Mingxu is free at [-] or [-] in the morning. He called Xia Guotian over and carried out the kidnapping. Ji Hongpeng was not there from [-] to [-] and could monitor him. Fan Bo was not seen from [-] to [-]. He It can kill people, and as for the corpse, there is one person who can have time to send it back to the community."
The two frowned upon hearing this.
"But didn't Wu Ang have an alibi? He was here between eleven and twelve o'clock..." Su Yueming quieted down before finishing his sentence, because it was Fan Bo who made the alibi for Wu Ang .
They have been investigating Wu Ang before, but they have not found any proof that he was not there. Wu Ang himself claimed that he slept at home until two or three o'clock. When they investigated again later, Fan Bo said that he had seen him after eleven o'clock. .
This alibi came in a timely manner, completely freeing Wu Ang from suspicion.
After Su Yueming was silent for a while, he went to the side and called several other people over, and told what happened just now.
This new idea proposed by Li Zimu made several people feel a little unbelievable, but judging from the current situation, it is the most reasonable.
"But what about the monitoring records of the clubhouse?" Hu Qing asked.
The murderer once pretended to be Xia Guotian and left the clubhouse, and the monitoring also misled them at first.
"Who is free at that time?" Li Zimu asked.
Su Yueming thought for a while and said, "Ji Hongpeng."
After speaking, Su Yueming immediately recalled the situation when he met Ji Hongpeng before, "His height and figure are indeed similar to Xia Guotian, and the rest are either a little shorter or a little thinner, and the difference is quite large."
"But how do we prove it now?" Ding Yixin asked. These four people all had their own alibi. Unless they could find definite evidence, the other party would definitely not plead guilty easily.
Li Zimu thought for a while and said, "I'm going to apply for a search warrant."
Now that they have confirmed that Xia Guotian was indeed killed here, they can apply for a search, hoping to find some useful clues.
It's just that although they all expected so much, everyone knew in their hearts that it had been more than ten days since Xia Guotian died, and the murderer had a lot of time to destroy the evidence.
After making up their minds, everyone took action.
After the above search warrant came out, everyone immediately sealed off the entire store.
Li Zimu and Ren Qingli put on protective clothing and began to check all the bathing pools. The rest of the people searched other places, trying to find any useful clues. Xia Guotian proved this point.
Except for Xia Guotian's lounge, Hu Qing and the others were assigned the task of searching other lounges. There were only seven people in their team. Except for Li Zimu, Ren Qingli, and Tian He, the remaining four people all rushed here. thing.
But even so, it is still very difficult to search, because the clubhouse is really too big.
They used to come downstairs a few times before, and rarely went upstairs. Now they have to search side by side. There are several floors of accommodation rooms upstairs, and there are several rooms on each floor. The whole is a large hotel hostel.
It was very difficult for Hu Qing and the others to search, but it was impossible for Ren Qingli and the others to start.
The staff had already started the sanitation a long time ago and now it's done, so basically all the bathrooms they go to are spotlessly clean.
Even if there is any evidence left, it is probably destroyed by those cleaning fluids.
Two people wearing protective suits checked each other next to each other. After checking four or five rooms in a row, their hands were still empty, because they hadn't found anything yet.
"The other party obviously has a premeditated plan." After finding nothing in another bathroom, the two walked out Ren Qingli while talking.
The other party probably chose such a time for the sake of sanitation, because in this way, even if they cleaned all the places with disinfectant, no one would suspect anything.
Moreover, the other party was very smart, and did not choose to let Xia Guotian die by being injured and bleeding, but chose to drown. In this way, they could not find any blood at all.
The results of the facts proved that their premonition was correct. The other party did not leave any evidence for them. After checking all the pools one by one, they found nothing. Even the pool that Xia Guotian frequented was empty. .
Their side finished the search before Hu Qing's side. After the inspection, the two of them went to the hall for a short rest.
All the employees in the store, including Wu Ang, were gathered in the hall. Seeing the two of them approaching, they all looked over curiously, and the face of the manager in the lobby was as dark as charcoal.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Ren Qingli handed over the things to Li Zimu for management.
Li Zimu ignored the others, found a seat beside him and sat down. After resting for a while, he took out his mobile phone, on which his brother sent him several messages.
It's not important information, just asking him about going back.
Li Zimu was sleepy before, but his brother kept quarreling with him, so he simply told his brother about Ren Qingli, originally to scare him.
In fact, he did scare his brother, but after that, his brother took it seriously and kept thinking about when to arrange for him to go back.
Because he was afraid that the impact of this incident would be too great for the two old men to accept, he even started to do psychological dredging for them...
Li Zimu was confused by him, and now it's hard to tell him that he was just trying to scare him, so now he himself is in a dilemma because he hasn't told Ren Qingli about it.
Ren Qingli didn't even know that his stinky daughter-in-law was about to meet her in-laws.
Li Zimu read all the information. In addition to his brother's information, there was actually a message about Huang Qunguang's lawyer.
The other party said that his law firm was nearby, and asked Li Zimu when he could meet.
Li Zimu simply replied to his brother's message, and then returned to the lawyer to tell him that he was not free recently, and then put away the phone.
After sitting for a while, Ren Qingli came back.
"I saw a utility room behind the toilet, and there seemed to be a lot of things in it." Ren Qingli said.
"Want to go and see?"
"Go and have a look, I also saw some old carpets put away." Ren Qingli carried the toolbox and led the way there.
In early October, the store was preparing for an event, so many old things were replaced, and the carpet was one of them.
When the two went to the old place, Li Zimu looked in the direction Ren Qingli pointed, and he saw a bunch of old things.
There are some stools, chairs, tablecloths, sofas and carpets that have been used for some time. It seems that there are new and old ones. The old ones should have been here for a long time, and the new ones seem to have been moved here recently. .
The two of them stepped forward and inspected the newly moved old carpets.
The carpet had been shaken, and there was nothing in it except for some heavy dust and the occasional few hairs.
"Why don't we go to the staff dormitory first?" Ren Qingli said again after finding nothing in the carpet.
"Let's go to Wu Ang's dormitory first!" Li Zimu said.
There are a lot of people in the staff dormitory, so it is more difficult to check. They haven't found anything today, so it's better to go to Wu Ang to see if they can find anything useful, and then check the staff dormitory.
Ren Qingli naturally agreed with Li Zimu's proposal, and the two collected their things and headed there.
Wu Ang's dormitory is not far from the clubhouse. After entering the door, both of them couldn't help covering their noses. There was a strong smell of alcohol in the room, and there was also a smell like instant noodles.
Wu Ang's daily habits are not good. There are still piles of instant noodles in the room that he didn't finish eating last night, and there are a few wine bottles beside him that he doesn't know when he will finish drinking.The quilt was not folded in the sleeping bedroom, and the worn clothes were thrown on the bedside.
Li Zimu walked around the room and was about to find a place to start when Ren Qingli's voice came from the bedroom, "Come here."
Li Zimu walked over, and Ren Qingli was standing next to the closet.He went over to look, and there was a suitcase in the closet, blue, similar to what the previous witness said.
The two men took the box out, opened it and looked at it, the box was empty, and looked quite new, as if it had never been used.
Ren Qingli lifted the box to the door and put it there, and took it back for inspection when he was about to go back.
"Are you free after this case is over?" Li Zimu asked suddenly.
"what happened?"
"How do you plan to live someday?" Li Zimu changed his words.
Ren Qingli didn't expect that Li Zimu would say this to him, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "How do you want to live?"
Li Zimu glanced at him, he felt that Ren Qingli was very strange, it was Ren Qingli's birthday and not him.
"Then why don't we have a meal together and find a place to sit?" Ren Qingli said, because he had forgotten about Li Zimu's matter before, but now that Li Zimu mentioned it, he remembered his matter Birthday is almost here.
Originally, he planned to finish the last case, so he arranged for this birthday, but so many things happened later.
"Yes." After a pause, Li Zimu said again: "After your birthday, go with me to a place."
"Where are you going?" Ren Qingli smiled. Is Li Zimu asking him out?This is the first time.
"my home."
"Okay, but why did you suddenly bring me to your house?" Ren Qingli was puzzled.
"Meet the parents."
"Huh?" Ren Qingli blinked, "What did you say?"
