After asking the old lady some more details about the contact between Zhou Sheng and Wu Xian, and making sure that no more useful clues could be found, Mu Yu said goodbye to the old lady, walked to a secluded place and called Rong Jian, and asked Rong Jian. I told him the key points about the connection between Zhou Sheng and Wu Xian.
Rong Jian was surprised, but he didn't ask Mu Yu on the phone when she started paying attention to Zhou Sheng, and when she started investigating Zhou Sheng. He only said, "Go to the north gate of Anju Community and wait." I, I’ll be there right away” and hung up the phone.
While waiting for Rongjian, Mu Yu stood at the north gate of Anju Community and looked into the distance.
The day before Wu Xian died, Zhou Sheng broke his arm and used this as an excuse to quit his job in the supermarket. In other words, on the night when Wu Xian died, Zhou Sheng, who had broken his arm, was alone at his residence in Tailing Garden. However, there was no surveillance in the area from Tailing Garden to the grove to the Yudai River Embankment. Riding an electric bicycle was about ten to It only takes fifteen minutes. Is this related to Wu Xian's death
But Mu Yu quickly denied his thoughts.
Let’s not talk about whether Zhou Sheng would hate killing because of love. Even if he did kill because of this, his arm injury is real, and his recent illness and dissatisfaction is also real. If he didn’t have helpers, it would be impossible. Carry Wu Xian from the embankment to the sluice. Through Cheng Xiang's investigation, it was found that Zhou Sheng had hardly interacted with people he had known since he was released from prison, and it was not found that he had close contacts with other people. It should be a big problem to find a trustworthy helper. , and he is currently so poor that he has no money to hire helpers. Besides, for such a murderous business, he shouldn't dare to easily spend money to find people as helpers. After all, it's easy for people to take advantage of him.
But if it doesn’t matter…
No! She felt that it couldn't be unrelated, that everything couldn't be such a coincidence.
But she couldn't tell what the relationship was.
Messy.
She wanted to yank her hair out.
"Doctor Mu!"
"Team Rong!"
When she heard Rong Jian's voice, she straightened her back immediately.
"Please tell me your doubts about Zhou Sheng in detail." Rong Jian took out a pen and paper as he spoke, "I was in the express lane before and couldn't write it down."
"Say it right here?"
"No, let's talk while walking. Is Zhou Sheng still living in Tailingyuan?"
"Yes. Cheng Xiang sent people to keep an eye on him secretly." Mu Yu quickly stated his doubts about Zhou Sheng, and finally asked, "Do you think Wu Xian's death is closely related to Zhou Sheng? "
Rong Jian did not respond immediately, but stopped and stared at the record book for a long time before speaking: "Zhou Sheng is so down now, what he is thinking about most at the moment is how to get himself back to where he was a year ago. Brilliant, right? He shouldn't be so obsessed with the love of his children, right? He's not a young man in the society who has just started to fall in love. Besides, although Wu Xian is good-looking, he's not so beautiful that everyone loves him."
"So you also think that Zhou Sheng and Wu Xian's deaths may not have much to do with each other?"
Rong Jian did not answer her words, but pointed to the entrance of Tailing Garden not far away and asked: "It is indeed much closer from there to Wu Xian's residence through the north gate of Anju Community, but the supermarket where Zhou Sheng works is close to Anju Community. At the south gate, if he goes to work through the north gate, he has to take a long detour, right? The north gate is on a small road with dim street lights, while the south gate is on an avenue with very bright street lights. He comes to work at night. In this case, , he also uses the north gate to get in and out of work, which is not normal. "
Mu Yu immediately explained: "The old lady at the North Gate convenience store said that because her son and Zhou Sheng were former colleagues, Zhou Shengnian often came to the old lady to buy some necessities and take care of the old lady's life.
I mean, when I have nothing to do, I will stay in the old lady’s shop and chat with her. So it makes sense for him to go to work through the north gate. "
"Wait for me here for a while, and I'll go find the old lady to have a little chat."
After Rong Jian finished speaking, without waiting for Mu Yu's reply, he trotted towards the old lady's convenience store.
About ten minutes later, he came back again.
"Let's go to Tailing Garden."
"What did you ask the old lady?" Mu Yu was curious.
"Didn't you say before that Zhou Sheng didn't have much contact with people he knew before after he was released from prison? Since he was able to contact the old lady's son, he also found time to chat with the old lady, which shows that he has a very good relationship with the old lady's son. , so I asked the old lady for her son’s contact information.”
"Then what?"
"Then I discovered that although the old lady's son and he were in the same branch before, they were not familiar with each other because they were not in the same department. They were just acquaintances. Before the old lady's son recognized Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng actually often worked in the company. The old lady buys things and stays in the store. The so-called chatting with the old lady is because the old lady takes the initiative to chat with others because she likes chatting too much. But those who pass by to buy things always leave after buying something. It is rare for Zhou Sheng If he was willing to listen to her, she would stay with him enthusiastically. Not only would he make tea, but he would also help introduce him to a good job and a girlfriend. According to the old lady, Zhou Sheng was not too concerned about finding a job, but I heard that she After being able to help find a girlfriend, I became very excited and often came to her place to sit before going to work at night. A few days ago, the old lady's son came to see her at night. Zhou Sheng happened to be there, and the old lady's son recognized her. After leaving Zhou Sheng, the old lady said that her son was driving a Mercedes. Zhou Sheng was quite embarrassed when he saw his car. After chatting for a while, he hurriedly left her convenience store on the pretext of going to work. Sheng never came to the old lady’s shop to buy anything again.”
"Oh? The old lady didn't tell me this before."
"Because you didn't show the police ID card I gave you, the old lady didn't say much. It can be seen that the old lady really sympathized with Zhou Sheng. She didn't mention the gap between Zhou Sheng and her son, but maybe she still wanted to Save some face for Zhou Sheng. Didn’t you say that she wanted to introduce Zhou Sheng to your sister? If Zhou Sheng is described as being so depressed, can you let your sister consider him? "
"Yes. But there is one thing I don't quite understand. In Chen Yisheng's eyes, Zhou Sheng is a taciturn person. He rarely talks to others except for checking out. Even if there are many customers sometimes and he waits for a long time for his face, he rarely Urging Chen Yisheng, sometimes Chen Yisheng took the initiative to talk to him, but he seemed reluctant to answer. Why did Zhou Sheng become so lively again when he came to the old lady? Is it because the old lady was kind to him and made him feel good? Motherly love? That’s why he wants to spend time with the old lady?”
"Probably not." Rong Jian shook his head, "I asked, and the old lady said that Zhou Sheng never uses the North Gate to get off work during the day, because she opens the store at six o'clock every morning. Zhou Sheng doesn't get off work until after seven o'clock, but the old lady I didn't see him passing by the store door once, so I concluded that he went to the south gate. After all, the south gate was closer to the Tailingyuan gate. He usually came to the old lady's shop around 10:30 in the evening, if he came early. , he will stay in the store for a while.”
"He went to the supermarket before twelve o'clock in the evening, and went to Chen Yisheng's supper shop after eleven o'clock to eat. From the old lady's shop to Chen Yisheng's shop, it should take more than twenty minutes to walk normally, so at this time No problem?"
"If there had not been Wu Xian's case, there would indeed be nothing suspicious about Zhou Sheng's behavior."
There was something in Rong Jian's words that made Mu Yu anxious, and he immediately asked: "Is there anything suspicious now?"
Rong Jian turned over a page in the record book and pointed to a few numbers in the middle to show her: "Wu Xian's normal off-duty time is six o'clock. If she works overtime,
I usually get off work at ten o'clock. Her mode of transportation to and from get off work is an electric car. From Yongyi Industrial to Anju Community, if she takes a shortcut without waiting for traffic lights, she can get home in about 30 minutes. Wu Xian has worked overtime six times in the past month. This time recently. "
He underlined a date.
"If Wu Xian was tripped by a stone and rescued by Zhou Sheng on this day," Rong Jian tapped the date with the underlined line with his pen again, and then asked Mu Yu, "What do you think this might mean?"
"It means that Zhou Sheng entered Anju Community from the north gate at night, probably waiting for Wu Xian?!" Mu Yu was very unsure of his speculation, so he was also surprised by his words.
Then she expressed confusion, "Did he know Wu Xian for a long time? But from what the old lady said, it doesn't sound like Wu Xian knows Zhou Sheng!"
"Maybe it's just that Zhou Sheng knows Wu Xian, and Wu Xian doesn't know Zhou Sheng."
"Could it be that..." Mu Yu hesitated for a moment, then boldly spoke out his guess, "Could it be that Zhou Sheng had been in love with Wu Xian before the drunk driving, so he moved to live near Wu Xian as soon as he was released from prison, but because he was short of money? , and he didn’t have a decent job, so he didn’t dare to express his feelings directly, so he could only wait for Wu Xian in this way, just to take a look at her? That day, he saw a stone on the road that Wu Xian must pass after work. The light was not good, so he was afraid that something might happen to Wu Xian, so he kept guarding the old lady's shop, just to help Wu Xian avoid the danger? He didn't want the old lady to see through his thoughts, so she enthusiastically helped him. Who knew? Being rejected by Wu Xian, he felt very sad and a little unwilling, so he waited for Wu Xian not far from the old lady's shop another day. Wu Xian did not work overtime that day and got off work normally. There were many people walking on the road at this time. , he was afraid of being discovered and embarrassed, so he begged Wu Xian to go to the woods to talk. He thought that no one would notice, and he didn't want to be accidentally seen by the old lady who rarely closed the shop and went for a walk. Because Wu Xian rejected him again, he felt embarrassed, so he didn't want to be seen by the old lady. The old lady never admitted it? So does Wu Xian’s death have anything to do with him? "
Rong Jian put away his notebook without commenting: "Perhaps only Zhou Sheng can answer your question. Come on, let's go find him."
"Don't you want to investigate first?"
"Asking him is the most direct way. Check the situation first."
"It doesn't seem like your interrogation style is to ask questions without being fully prepared."
Rong Jian immediately smiled bitterly: "It's urgent, I just hope that the case can be solved quickly."
"Okay." Mu Yu understood the pressure on him and followed him to Zhou Sheng's home in Tailing Garden without saying any more.
Zhou Sheng was sleeping at home at this time, and he still looked worried when Rong Jian knocked on the door.
"you are?"
"I am Rong Jian from the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau. I want to find out some information from you." Rong Jian said while showing his ID.
Zhou Sheng was startled by these words. He immediately turned around and trotted to the sofa. He used his good hand to pick up the messy clothes on the sofa. He said in a very apologetic tone that the house was a mess and invited them to come in and sit.
He didn't know that the moment he turned around, Rong Jian and Mu Yu had seen the panic in his eyes. After exchanging a look, the two entered the room one after another.
"I wonder what the detective comrade wants to do with me?" Zhou Sheng asked as he took out two disposable paper cups from the drawer and placed them on the table. He then removed the stopper of the thermos bottle, then picked up the thermos bottle and poured boiling water into the paper cups.
"You know Wu Xian, right?"
As soon as Rong Jian's words came out of his mouth, Zhou Sheng's whole body trembled obviously.
"full!"
"Be careful with the boiling water!"
"Ah?!" Zhou Sheng realized that the paper cup was full, but he didn't know how to lift the thermos bottle. He stretched out his other hand to block the mouth of the thermos bottle in a panic.
