Yunzhou City, Ximei Gallery.
"It's so sudden," Zhang Qile's assistant Xiao Qi said sadly, "Teacher Zhang will have an art exhibition next month! And he also invited many foreign guests... "
Xiaoqi is a girl who wears glasses and dresses conservatively.
"Does Zhang Qile live in the gallery?" Miao Ying looked at the paintings in the room and asked the assistant.
"Yes!" Xiao Qi quickly replied, "Teacher Zhang likes to be unrestrained and designed a small apartment for himself on the second floor of the gallery. It is not large but very avant-garde. I... I can take you to see it... "
"So..." Miao Ying asked again, "When did you find out that Zhang Qile had lost contact?"
"It was... about a week ago, right?" Xiao Qi recalled, "For seven or eight days, I called her, but she didn't answer and the phone was turned off!"
"oh… "
Miao Ying calculated the date, which was two or three days before the incident. This was consistent with the disappearance time currently known by the police.
Perhaps, after kidnapping Zhang Qile, the murderer did not immediately kill her, but imprisoned her for one or two days.
"In the past, Teacher Zhang often did this..." Xiao Qi said, "We are still having dinner together tonight, and we will arrive in Vienna tomorrow...
"So, when the phone was turned off, I wasn't too anxious. I just thought she was on the plane..."
"Xiao Qi..." Miao Ying looked around and asked in a low voice, "We are here today to find out the truth and catch the murderer of Teacher Zhang. Do you understand?"
"This..." Xiao Qi was stunned, biting her lip and nodded.
"So," Miao Ying said with sharp eyes, "you must tell us everything you know about Zhang Qile without any reservations!"
"I... I know," Xiao Qi nodded quickly, "I have gone to the police station twice before. I... I didn't dare to hide anything? I told everything I knew!"
"Among the many male friends, which one does Zhang Qile like the most?" Miao Ying asked.
"This... this is hard to talk about!" Xiao Qi's forehead was sweating, "I... I'm just Teacher Zhang's assistant. I... I never ask about her private life, and she won't tell me... "
"I'm talking about feeling!" Miao Ying asked, "In your opinion, which one does Teacher Zhang like the most?"
"Well... Zhang Chun, and... and Liu Xilin, these two seem to be pretty good, right?" Xiao Qi said, "These two are the second generation of rich people, one is unmarried and the other is single. I feel that Zhang The teacher liked these two people better. Once, I saw Zhang Chun spending the night with Teacher Zhang in the gallery... "
oh…
Miao Ying has read the information. Zhang Chun and Liu Xilin are indeed well-known local rich second generations, and they are also among the people who have invested the most in Zhang Qile Gallery.
"So..." Miao Ying asked again, "Have you heard about the rumors outside? For example, who has your teacher Zhang hurt? Or who has done something bad to you?"
"This..." Xiao Qi was embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want," Miao Ying persuaded, "We will keep it a secret for you!"
"This..." Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "I think you have already asked so many people, so you should know it, right
"Teacher Zhang is a more casual person and is quite open-minded about the relationship between men and women...
"Of course there are rumors about her, but Teacher Zhang never pays attention to it.
"Well, she is... She really values money and advocates the supremacy of money. Sometimes she is a bit stingy, and her relationship with her family is very tense...
"However, she is actually quite nice. She takes good care of us working people and never loses her temper...
"I think that when he was with those male friends, he didn't want to deceive them. It was all consensual, so... he shouldn't have offended anyone, right?"
"Really?" Miao Ying asked again, "Are those men really that generous? Have you never been jealous or quarreled with Zhang Qile?"
"It's a quarrel... Phew..." Xiao Qi paused for a long time and murmured, "At the end of last year, a man did have a quarrel with Teacher Zhang. At that time, the gallery was still being renovated and Teacher Zhang lived in Johor Bahru. .
"One time, Teacher Zhang and I went to her house to get something. We saw Teacher Zhang's face was swollen, so we asked her what was going on, but she didn't say...
"I found out later that I was beaten by a man. That man was a real estate developer. He used to be very rich. He had a good memory with Teacher Zhang and invested a lot of money in Teacher Zhang!
"But later, he fell into a financial crisis. He probably wanted to borrow some money from Teacher Zhang, but Teacher Zhang didn't lend it to him, so he beat him!"
"oh?"
At Miao Ying's signal, Wu Xiumin quickly wrote down this information in her notebook.
"What's that man's name?" Miao Ying asked.
"I don't know," Xiao Qi said, "but I can help you ask. My former colleagues know better!"
"Okay..." Miao Ying nodded and then looked at the paintings on the wall.
These paintings were all realistic oil paintings. Although she did not dare to compliment Zhang Qile's character, she had to say that these paintings were indeed very well done.
It can be seen that Zhang Qile does have certain attainments in painting.
"Is the gallery monitored?" Miao Ying asked again.
"Yes," Xiao Qi said quickly, "The police have taken away the surveillance copies! There are them at the main entrance and inside the gallery..."
"Yes," at this time, a local police officer behind Miao Ying reminded, "We have carefully checked the surveillance and found that Zhang Qile did not return to the gallery before the incident. She should have been attacked elsewhere. Kidnapping!”
"Teacher Zhang's car is parked in the parking lot behind," Xiao Qi added, "Has she traveled far away before?"
"The gallery faces the street," Miao Ying said with her head held high. "The parking lot is a public parking lot behind the street. After parking, Zhang Qile needs to return to the gallery through the alley next to it!
"If I were the murderer, I would choose to start in the alley!"
"Then..." Ran Tao thought for a while and took the initiative to apply, "Shall I check the parking lot? See when she parked her car in the parking lot?"
"But..." Miao Ying guessed again, "If someone is arrested and kidnapped, other means of transportation are needed, and the street outside the gallery is all under surveillance, so..."
"He can only return to the parking lot?" Ran Tao was puzzled.
"Or..." Wu Xiumin had an idea, "Countless experiences have told us that sometimes tricycles can become a more concealed means of transportation, so..."
"We need to carefully check all the surveillance cameras around here," Miao Ying said. "We also need to track Zhang Qile's car to see when she went to the parking lot and where she went before going to the parking lot."
