reckless detective

Chapter 10 Where's Dad? (3)
"Why?" Wu Cuo took out a cigarette, handed one to Lao Wang, and lit it for him, and lit one himself, and the distance between the two suddenly shortened a lot.

Old Wang said: "It's purely speculation. If you want me to say it, then I will say it, but I don't have any basis."

"You just say it's okay."

"It's like this. Our area has been talking about demolition for several years. At the beginning of this year, there was finally definite news. Everyone is also looking forward to living in a new building for compensation and getting a sum of compensation. Don't you The dilapidated house in my house is not worth much, but the location is valuable. The developer has done the calculations. My 70-square-meter house can be exchanged for two 100-square-meter houses.

Everyone discussed it, and they all thought it was a good deal. Only Lao Li was like a stone in a latrine—it was smelly and hard.At the beginning, greedy people followed him to make troubles, but later the price couldn't be negotiated, and it was meaningless to make troubles, and he was the only one left in our community who was still insisting. "

Wu Cuo thought for a moment and said: "You mean, the developer has a conflict of interest with the deceased."

"No, anyway, knowing that Lao Li was killed, my first feeling was the developer. Lao Li is still a good person. Think about it, he must be a good person who can bring up two children who are not his own. Well……"

Seeing Lao Wang's gossiping posture, Wu Cuo quickly took out his notebook, wrote down Lao Wang's contact information, left a business card of his own, and left.

When Wu Cuo returned to the scene of the crime, Yan Ruyu and a criminal policeman had just left the noodle stall.

The Internet cafe where Li Mei works is in a nearby urban village. It is about 25 minutes away from her home on foot. In Beijing, where it takes 2 hours to go to get off work and 2 hours to take the subway, it is quite convenient for Li Mei to go home from work.

But she chose to move out of her home and live in the staff dormitory, which is more intriguing.

When the two walked to the door of the Internet cafe, the first thing they saw was a piece of A4 paper posted on the door that said "Dispose of second-hand computers at low prices".

As soon as I entered the Internet cafe, I only felt that the lights were dark and the atmosphere was smoky.

Yan Ruyu went straight to the cashier, and said to a cashier girl inside: "Do you need to deal with the computer here?"

The cashier girl kept staring at the monitor on the table without raising her eyelids.

"Boss! Someone asked about a second-hand computer!"

Following the voice of the cashier girl, a middle-aged man with a cigarette stood up from a computer in the common area and shouted at Yan Ruyu, "Do you want to buy?"

Yan Ruyu didn't answer, but pointed to the computer in the common area and asked, "Is that all?"

"Yeah, the speed of the newly replaced machine is not to say. If it wasn't for the demolition, I wouldn't sell it. It's cheaper to buy more."

"Didn't this place be said to be demolished a long time ago? Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

"Hey, there are quite a few nail households! But I don't think these nail households can last for a few days. This demolition is a serious municipal plan, and no one can stop it!"

"How many nail houses?"

"That's right, the one on the ground floor, did you see that? That's right, that's right, that's the one with the red gate. They're a nail house, and they're so fierce! A whole family brought a banner to the gate of the city hall to make a fuss!" The boss returned. Wei Lai said to Yan Ruyu again, "Are you going to buy a computer or not?"

Only then did Yan Ruyu take out the police officer and testify, "I'll get some information from you."

The owner of the Internet cafe was taken aback for a moment, and then he showed an old-fashioned expression, and said angrily, "It's the police, and nothing has happened to our small place since it opened."

The criminal policeman who was with him was used to this kind of people who would put aside their ties first, so he said straightforwardly: "Is there a cashier named Li Mei here?"

"Yes."

"She worked the night shift last night?"

"That's right." The boss felt relieved when he heard that it had nothing to do with him.

"Did she stay here last night?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Then you have to watch the surveillance." The boss walked to the cash register and retrieved the surveillance screen of the cash register last night.

Yan Ruyu quickly browsed through the monitoring. Li Mei, who was dressed in black, had been sitting in the cash register since the shift change at 10:2 p.m. until she left at 35:[-] a.m.

It seemed that Li Mei was very serious and responsible. When she left, she called a man to sit at the cash register. According to the boss, the man was the night shift network manager of the Internet cafe. When Li Mei left, she walked to the depths of the Internet cafe, probably to the bathroom. up.

At 2:51, Li Mei came back and had a few conversations with the network administrator. The network administrator walked out of the cash register, and Li Mei sat back. After a while, she lay on the table, seemingly falling asleep.

It took a total of 16 minutes from leaving to returning, and Li Mei never left the cash register until the morning shift.

Yan Ruyu said to the criminal police who came together: "Copy the surveillance video."

The boss asked, "She's a little girl, is she okay?"

Yan Ruyu whispered: "Her stepfather was killed last night."

"Ah?!" The boss took a step back subconsciously and kicked down a trash can. The instant noodle bowl discarded in the trash can was upside down, and half a bowl of instant noodle soup flowed on the ground, making the taste even more cloudy and weird.

The boss frowned, and said to the girl at the cash register: "Clean up quickly."

After speaking, he moved to another place and said to Yan Ruyu, "She also has a stepfather?"

"You don't know?"

The boss shook his head and asked the girl at the cash register, "Do you know?"

The girl at the cash register also shook her head blankly.

The boss continued: "Li Mei is quite introverted and doesn't talk much. I only know that she has a younger sister. She dropped out of school to work to earn tuition for her younger sister. I have never heard her talk about her parents."

"Then do you know that her home is in the staff building of the nearby steel factory?"

"Ah? Are you talking about those three old buildings? I haven't heard of them!" The boss was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out, "Li Mei has been here for two years and has been living in a dormitory. I thought her family was out of town. Woolen cloth!"

The girl at the cashier interjected: "No wonder, I live in the same room with her. Sometimes she doesn't come back to live for several days for no reason, but she goes to work on time. I thought she had a boyfriend outside, and she didn't tell her when I asked her. It's going home."

"Where is your dormitory?" asked the criminal policeman who was traveling with him.

The boss said: "Hey, let's make do, my small Internet cafe is not a formal big enterprise, it just rents two rooms in a village in the city, women live in one and men live in one."

"It's interesting," Yan Ruyu lit a cigarette, and said to the criminal policeman with her, "Since Li Mei only went to the bathroom once last night, let's go to the bathroom."

The bathrooms in Internet cafes are small and shared by men and women. People who come in lock the door inside, and people outside cannot get in.

In the bathroom, the white floor tiles were already so dirty that they couldn't see their true colors. The smell was not as mixed as in the Internet cafe, but it was even more unpleasant. The smell was really spicy.

Yan Ruyu noticed the bathroom window at first sight.

The windows were covered with dust, but the sills were clean.

"This window has not been opened for several years. Our area is not safe. If you open the window, you will lose the broom, mop, and hand sanitizer." The owner of the Internet cafe said.

"Is anyone cleaning the window sill?"

"I didn't notice it. The cashier and the network administrator take turns on duty. I didn't worry about it."

The style of the windows is very old, the wooden type with bolts.Yan Ruyu pulled the latch, and it was unexpectedly easy to pull it out. As soon as the window was opened, the air circulated and the smell improved a lot, and the three of them squeezed into the narrow space felt much more comfortable.

"The latch and the window seam seem to have been tampered with, otherwise it would not be so easy to open. On the latch...this is..." The criminal policeman took out a cotton swab and wiped the latch, and some black and yellow things stuck to the cotton swab. , "It's oil! Someone put oil in the latch to open the window!"

The boss approached him in surprise, and said incoherently, "I don't know... this... I don't know."

"Let's take a picture," Yan Ruyu said to the criminal police accompanying him: "It's almost clear, but there is still a lack of key evidence, so it depends on the results of the autopsy and on-site investigation."

The criminal policeman who was with him whispered: "However, it takes nearly 50 minutes to go from the Internet cafe to the deceased's house. Li Mei only needs to leave the cash register for more than ten minutes. Even if she has to run, it is too late."

"The roads in the villages in the city are intricate and complicated. It is not difficult to find a shortcut. However, physical labor is not my strong point. I will leave it to you to find the way."

"Okay! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
