"Huh? Brother Yihan's message?" Mu Yu stood up strangely and clicked on the message.
"Has he left already?" Qin Jinhuan didn't go over to take a look, he just asked casually.
"Yeah, why did you leave so soon?" Mu Yu had finished reading the message and turned to call Xin Yihan's mobile phone, but was prompted that the phone was turned off. Then he put the phone down and said to himself, "Did he just get on the plane? His The arm won’t…”
"Huang Bo will send it to him, so you don't have to worry."
"Did you send someone to see him off?"
"Yeah. Something happened at his company and he had to rush back. Didn't I tell you about this?"
Mu Yu looked confused: "Did you tell me?"
"Um."
She was stunned for a moment, then patted her forehead: "I have no impression at all. Look at my brain, I'm feeling groggy all day long."
"The main reason is that too many things have happened recently and you haven't had a good rest." Qin Jinhuan wanted to pull her to lie down. "It's still early, so let's sleep for a while. Only when you are well rested can you get twice the result with half the effort."
Mu Yu shook his head and pushed his hand away: "I can't sleep. I don't know if Captain Rong is resting or working at the moment."
She hesitated after opening the address book on her phone, because she knew that Rong Jian was very tired these days, and if he was resting now, she really shouldn't disturb him.
"He must not have slept all night last night. He should be taking a nap now. He will definitely contact you when he is well rested. You should stop calling him, or..."
"Hey! Captain Rong is here with a message!" Mu Yu opened the message happily.
The message simply stated Yu Botao’s autopsy results. After a quick browse, she quickly called back because she was worried that Rong Jian really needed to take a rest.
"Sister-in-law, Yu Botao didn't drink or take drugs before he fell into the water, and no other ingredients were found in his stomach. He should have been very conscious before he fell into the water." Rong Jian obviously knew what she wanted to ask on the phone, and he used it before she could say anything. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I've visited nearby convenience stores and gas stations, but I haven't found any."
"Is there not a single useful surveillance camera nearby?" Mu Yu still had a hint of luck.
"No. All bad."
Rong Jian would not tell her that it was because the surveillance nearby was broken. He had just asked Qin Jinhuan to discuss staging the old scene of "heroes saving beauties" there to ease the relationship between her and Qin Jinhuan.
"Okay. I didn't expect there to be such a blind spot in Huacheng. Have you checked all Yu Botao's recent call records?"
"I've checked everything. In the past five days, there is an owner named Jiang You who has had a lot of phone calls and text messages with Yu Botao."
Mu Yu suddenly became more energetic: "Who is this friend Jiang?"
"He is an old man in his eighties."
"ah?!"
"Sister-in-law, listen to me." Rong Jian quickly explained, "According to Mr. Jiang's explanation, his mobile phone is an old-age phone. He has a landline at home. His children who work in other places usually contact him by calling the home landline. The old-age phone can only be used when going out. He will keep it with him. Because he has been feeling unwell recently and the weather is hot, he has not been out for half a month, so he doesn’t know when he lost his phone.”
"Is he an old man living alone?"
"There is also a nanny at home. He doesn't have to worry about buying groceries and cooking. He just wanders around when he goes out."
"Did he lose anything besides his mobile phone?"
"He said that all the valuable things at home are there. As for whether he still has them?"
It’s unclear what inconspicuous thing was missing. "
"It seems that the thief went to his house and only stole this elderly phone? Captain Rong, do you think this elderly phone was stolen by the man behind the scenes, or did he hire someone to steal it?"
"I have also thought about this issue. If it was stolen by the mastermind behind it, it means that he is very familiar with the situation in Jiang's hometown. In other words, he may live near Jiang's hometown."
Mu Yu suddenly thought of a question and asked immediately: "Didn't you say that he has a nanny at home? Is it possible that it is this nanny..."
"This is impossible." Rong Jian interrupted her with certainty, "This nanny is a distant relative of his family. She has been taking care of him in Huacheng for more than ten years. Her hands and feet are very clean."
"Oh, that"
"I think it is very unlikely that the man behind the scenes stole Mr. Jiang's mobile phone in person. He most likely bought it from the black market. Think about it, 90% of the time he came from Ancheng to wait for an opportunity to harm you, and you came to Huacheng. In just a week or so, he started contacting Yu Botao five days ago. In just two or three days, he was busy finding out your situation in Huacheng and understanding Huacheng, and he was also busy planning to harm you. I will definitely not put too much effort into stealing mobile phones. I have inquired about it, and you can buy everything on the black market in Hwaseong."
"Can I buy everything?"
"Yes! You can buy antiques and cultural relics and even human organs!" Rong Jian was very angry when he said this. "These local officials are so incompetent! They can tolerate the existence of such a cancer-like place!"
Mu Yu didn't care to pay attention to this and questioned: "Reselling antiques and cultural relics and even buying and selling human organs are huge profits. It's not surprising that some desperadoes take risks and commit crimes just for money, but a broken old machine can't be sold for a few dollars. No one is willing to do it." He stole it and sold it, and Jiang’s family lost nothing but an elderly machine, so I guess someone must have found out in advance and stole it and paid a high price for it.”
"Well, I also have this speculation, so I plan to let Xiaofan check the black market later. He hasn't slept all night, and he just returned to the room to take a nap."
"You haven't slept all night, haven't you? You also need to rest..."
"I can still bear it. I just returned to the hotel to charge my phone. I'm going to eat something first, take a shower and then go see the old streets."
Knowing what he was going to Lao Cai to investigate, Mu Yu immediately volunteered: "Captain Rong, I have nothing to do now anyway. Let me investigate the Lao Cai matters."
"You recharge your batteries first, and I will arrange other things for you to do later."
Knowing that he wanted her to rest in peace, Mu Yu immediately refused: "I rested as soon as I came back, and I am in good spirits now. I can't do anything else, and I can only do simple things like Lao Cai, Rong Team, I’ve already figured out how to inquire, leave this matter to me.”
"But… "
"That's it, let's get in touch later."
She hung up the phone without waiting for him to say anything, and immediately got out of bed to find the clothes she had left. When she got the clothes and was about to go into the bathroom to change, she saw Qin Jinhuan walking out of the bathroom, his face wet, knowing that he She had already washed up, and knew that he was definitely going to go out with her. She raised her hand to look at her watch, and then discussed with him: "Let Zijun or Cheng Xiang go to the old street with me, and you can rest."
"I've had enough rest."
"There should be a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the company, right?"
"I'll make arrangements."
"The old street is not far anyway, so don't follow me. You can rest assured that Zijun or Cheng Xiang are here."
"I don't even trust myself, let alone them." Qin Jinhuan said while changing clothes.
"But your company..."
"You don't have to worry about the company's affairs. Go change clothes quickly." He smiled softly at her.
Knowing that she couldn't persuade him, she hesitated for a moment, said nothing, and then went into the bathroom to wash up and change clothes.
Unless the mastermind behind the scenes is found, he will not be relieved even if she is out of his sight, let alone returning to Ancheng. She knows this very well. But now she can't care about the mastermind who harmed her. The most important thing she needs to do now is to find the murderer of the four murders.
Only when this serial case is solved can Qingtian truly be at peace and she can return to Ancheng with peace of mind.
Cheng Xiang was awakened when they opened the door and left the bedroom. He immediately jumped up from the sofa. Seeing that they were fully dressed, he knew they were going out and rushed into the bathroom to quickly wash up and change clothes.
Taking advantage of this time, Mu Yu heated up milk and bread. After breakfast, the three of them went to the old street not far from Lijing's home.
Because they didn't know who the old residents were in the old street, it made their visit very difficult. After Cheng Xiang reminded them, Mu Yu asked Chang Jiajia for help, and soon found out about a man named Lao six years ago. Niu, a foreigner, and his wife rented in the home of a family named Zeng.
After many twists and turns, Chang Jiajia led them to Zeng Jingou's home.
For convenience, Rong Jian had also applied for a police ID for Mu Yu. After Mu Yu showed his ID, he showed Zeng Jingou the photos of Sun Meilan and Gan Aniu.
Zeng Jingou was very cooperative and immediately recognized the couple in the photo as the Lao Niu couple who rented his house seven years ago.
"These two people are not simple!" Zeng Jingou immediately got emotional when he mentioned Sun Meilan, "My son works in another place. Seven years ago, my daughter-in-law gave birth to twin grandsons for our old Zeng family. My wife and I were very happy. I decided to go there to take care of my grandson. I thought that I would not be returning to Huacheng for a while, and it was a pity that the house here was empty, so I rented it out at that time. It was Lao Niu who came to rent a house with me. He was very honest and offered to pay half a year's rent in advance, so I rented the house to him with confidence. I didn't expect them to do such a thing! "
"What did they do?" Mu Yu immediately asked.
Zeng Jingou looked angry: "I have a two-story old house. After my husband and I left Huacheng, they simply renovated my house without consulting me and divided it into a dozen single rooms." Rent it to others! I only charge them 2,000 yuan a month for rent. If they renovate like this, they can collect at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month for rent. If nothing happened, I would never have thought of them. Second landlord!”
"What happened?" Mu Yu asked again.
"Someone's dead!" Zeng Jingou looked angrily, "A woman who sold her body hanged herself in my house! Just die if you want to die, and you have to die in red clothes! It's so unlucky! What a mess! No one dares to live in it anymore! If it hadn’t been demolished by the government the next year, my house would have been abandoned.”
"I heard from my grandma that anyone who hangs himself in red clothes will turn into a ghost. If he becomes a ghost, he will stay in that house and harm others. So we here are particularly taboo about dead people wearing red clothes." Chang Jiajia explained in a low voice. .
Unexpectedly, he heard about the suicide of a prostitute here again, and it also implicated Sun Meilan and Gan Aniu. Mu Yu suddenly had doubts in his heart, and immediately asked Zeng Jingou about the death of the prostitute.
