"I don't know..." said a bearded man, "Even though it's next door, there's not much interaction! I only know that the woman lives alone and is quite quiet. I haven't heard any particularly loud noises coming from her side... "
…
"Is she the woman whose eyes were removed? It's so tragic..." said a woman who was having her hair permed. "She looks quite ordinary. I really don't pay much attention to her, but I have never seen her with Whoever comes back together is usually alone..."
…
"Are you bothered?" said an old man with gray hair. "You have asked me many times! I really don't know her..."
…
"I know, she works in a bank..." said a young man, "I saw her at Jinjiang Bank. She dresses decently and eats well, but... she doesn't talk much..."
…
In this way, Zhao Yu and Ding Lan visited more than a dozen companies, and all received similar answers.
"Alas!" Ding Lan sighed, "I thought that being a detective would be much easier for you than us agents! Now it seems that I was wrong..."
"Maybe..." Zhao Yu said, "The clues to solving the case lie in the casual words of these people. Let's go! Let's go to Li Yiyan's house and have a look!"
Li Yiyan lives in a high-end apartment, which is about 10 kilometers away from where she works.
Unlike most residents who rent here, Li Yiyan bought her apartment with money.
This is Seoul after all. Even though the apartment is small in size, it is worth a lot of money. You can buy a large villa in the countryside.
"I've been here once before," Zhao Yu said, "and I didn't find any items used by men in Li Yiyan's home. It can be seen that she has always lived alone after her divorce.
"The financial situation is also clear at a glance. After she divorced her ex-husband, she obtained a considerable amount of property, and with the convenience of work, she took out a loan and bought this apartment!"
"I think..." Ding Lan said, "Li Yiyan died of black eyes, so it shouldn't have anything to do with his property status or marital status, right
"Could it be that...you still want to investigate her ex-husband?"
"It has been investigated," Zhao Yu said, "He is doing business in our country! He has remarried..."
"Good for you… "
While talking, the two of them had arrived at Li Yiyan's residence. Since Li Yiyan had been dead for a month, there were no police officers here.
The two rang the doorbell, and sure enough, no one opened the door. It shows that Li Yiyan's family members do not live here.
So, the two contacted the manager of the apartment, hoping that through the manager, they could open the door and let them take a look.
The administrator was a fat man. After running up panting, he immediately told Zhao Yu and Zhao Yu that he could not open the door.
Because this house is different from the tenants, the management office does not have a spare key. If you want to get in, you can only contact Li Yiyan's family members.
Li Yiyan's parents are still alive, she has many brothers and sisters, and she has no children. It is estimated that this apartment will cause property inheritance issues.
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked the administrator, "Do you have their contact information?"
"I only have one, but no one has answered the phone," the administrator said. "I have something to talk to them about! Li Yiyan's car is still parked in the parking lot, and the parking spaces are all rented. She needs to pay the parking fee! "
"Huh?" One sentence immediately caught Zhao Yu's attention, "What did you say? You mean, Li Yiyan—has a car?"
"That's right!" the fat administrator said, "It's a white Hyundai, and the car is still new! It seems... it's only been bought for more than half a year, right?"
"There is a car..." Zhao Yu murmured, "Since there is a car, why, according to the investigation records, did she walk home so late that night?"
"Really? Oh..." the fat administrator said, "She doesn't usually drive much. She only drives when she goes back to her hometown to visit her parents during the holidays, right?"
"The parking lot is underground," Ding Lan asked, "How do you know she doesn't usually drive?"
"Of course," the fat administrator replied, "I am on duty in the apartment lobby, and I can see Li Yiyan coming in from the front door almost every day!
"If she drove in, she didn't need to go through the lobby, but took the elevator directly upstairs!"
"Tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu recalled, "There is obviously a staff parking lot in the Jinjiang Road Bank, which is 10 kilometers away from the apartment. Obviously, driving is the most convenient!
“Moreover, Li Yiyan often works overtime,” Zhao Yu added, “and can’t go home until very late every night. At that time, the traffic is no longer congested, so it’s obviously the best time to drive, right
"Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to buy a car?"
"What's the matter..." Ding Lan said, "Maybe she doesn't like driving?"
"Really?" Zhao Yu thought for a while and said to the administrator, "Now take me to Li Yiyan's car to have a look!"
The administrator did not dare to neglect, and immediately nodded in agreement. He and Zhao Yu got into the elevator and headed towards the parking lot.
On the way, Zhao Yu checked through the mobile phone software. If Li Yiyan went home from get off work and did not drive, then she could only rely on taking a taxi, taking the subway or taking the bus.
There are no direct buses, and there are no buses after 8pm.
Taking a taxi would cost a lot of money, and it was probably difficult for Li Yiyan to afford it given her condition.
When taking the subway, you need to walk more than 800 meters to reach the subway station. After getting out of the subway, you still have to walk more than 400 meters to reach the apartment.
strangeness…
Zhao Yu wondered, since Li Yiyan bought a car, why did he still have to walk every day
Is it for exercise
But if you want to exercise, why buy a car
Could it be...what's the problem here
Soon, the elevator descended to the parking lot. The administrator led them to a white Hyundai car.
Um
Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and scratched it, and found that the car was covered with a thin and even layer of dust. From this, it seemed that the car had not been driven for a long time.
"The Guangsou team is really right," Ding Lan said in Chinese. "The deceased also had a car! Why didn't you come over to check?"
When Ding Lan said this, the fat administrator was slightly startled, obviously a little surprised.
"This case is different from ordinary cases," Zhao Yu said. "The video of Li Yiyan on the night of the accident clearly shows that she left the unit on foot.
"Even if it is placed with us, we may not be able to find this car..."
"Even if it is found, it will probably be of no use, right?" Ding Lan wondered, "This car seems to have not been moved for a long time, so it obviously has nothing to do with the case!"
"No!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Although the car didn't move, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the case! As I said before, the truth is often hidden in those inconspicuous clues!
"Li Yiyan has a car instead of driving, and would rather walk every day. Maybe... there is a reason! And this reason..." Zhao Yu's eyes flashed with light, "It may be the key to solving the case!"
"You... you..." Since Zhao Yu also spoke in Chinese, the fat administrator couldn't hold himself back this time, "Which country are you detectives from!?"
