(Three shifts today, one shift every hour. I wish all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and all the best. The third shift is a holiday gift from the spider. By the way, today I will reveal how Master Meng came back from the dead. )
————————————————————

three days ago.

The mysterious disappearance of Jiao Jiali has not had any clues to solve the case so far.

In fact, the patrol room has always had a suspicion:
Cha Ronghuan is the murderer!
It was he who killed Jiao Jiali and then blamed the so-called coachman.

Otherwise, why can't even the coachman be found, and no one can provide relevant clues?
As for Che Ronghuan's motive for committing the crime?

It's too simple, he married Hu Meier, his concubine, so he naturally hated his first wife.

Maybe it was because of a certain quarrel that Che Ronghuan wanted to kill Jiao Jiali.

He killed Jiao Jiali, and then shifted the blame to the so-called rickshaw driver.

The problem is that, despite all the suspicions, there is no evidence either.

Moreover, Che Ronghuan is more or less famous in Shanghai, if caught by mistake, it will definitely cause trouble.

And just when the case was at an impasse, Inspector Liang, a special detective from the patrol room, visited Che's house.

Detective Liang didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Che, can you describe the appearance of that driver more accurately?"

"I've already said it." Che Ronghuan repeated again: "The driver is wearing a coarse blue coat and black cloth shoes. He is about 30 years old and has a burly figure. I can't see his appearance clearly."

Detective Liang listened carefully, and asked a few more questions. Seeing that the time was almost up, he was about to leave when he suddenly asked, "Do you love your wife? I mean Jiao Jiali."

Che Ronghuan hesitated for a moment: "It's not a special love, but one day husband and wife Bai Rien, she is always my wife, I sincerely hope she is still alive, and I can find her as soon as possible."

……

"Che Ronghuan is not the murderer."

As soon as he got in the car, "Inspector Liang" Meng Shaoyuan immediately said, "He didn't show any signs of lying, especially when he commented on Jiao Jiali, he lost his mind. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that I was wrong."

"He's not, so who would be?"

Yu Yanchu was a little disappointed.

Originally, like those detectives, she thought that Che Ronghuan was the murderer, and as soon as District Chief Meng came forward, the case would be solved immediately.

But that doesn't look like that at all now.

"Go to Jing'an Temple to arrest the house." Meng Shaoyuan ordered.

"District Chief Meng, your banana." Yu Yanchu handed the banana to Meng Shaoyuan.

"I'm tired of eating this stuff." Meng Shaoyuan didn't even bother to look at it.

"Tired of eating?" Yu Yanchu was stunned for a moment: "Then you eat so much every day?"

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly smiled.

The car drove forward for a while, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Stop the car, I will get off here, Yu Yanchu, I will play a game of hide-and-seek with you, I will get off the car for 3 minutes, and then you come to find me, if you can't find me, go to the car. The arrest house of Jing'an Temple came to look for me."

what?

At this time, Chief Meng is still playing hide-and-seek with himself?
……

Jing'an Temple is the busiest place in Shanghai.

It is crowded with people almost every day.

Yu Yanchu searched there for a long time, but couldn't find Meng Shaoyuan.

Such a big Jing'an Temple, where to...

There!

right there!

Wearing the same clothes as Meng Shaoyuan.

Particularly notable features:
Holding a bunch of bananas in his hand.

Yu Yanchu rushed up excitedly: "Meng... Boss Zhu, I found you."

The man turned around:

Joshua Lee!
"Miss Yu." Li Zhifeng said expressionlessly, "Boss Zhu said that you would definitely recognize the wrong person, and also said, please eat this bunch of bananas."

After speaking, he stuffed the banana into Yu Yanchu's hand...

……

"Inspector Ross, I need all the missing persons cases in the near future."

"Meng, my friend, are you planning to change careers and become an inspector?" Ross, an Englishman from the Jing'an Temple arrest room, smiled and asked someone to bring the file.

There are not many cases of missing persons.

"I think, I'm probably here for the case of Che Jiao Jiali's disappearance?"

"That's right." Meng Shaoyuan picked up the file and looked at it, and said casually, "One of my subordinates has a close relationship with the Jiao family, and I'm also interested in this case."

"Che Ronghuan." Detective Ross said immediately, "He is the biggest suspect, but unfortunately we have no evidence."

"It's not him." Meng Shaoyuan's eyes suddenly stayed on the file: "Xu Gencai, did you leave home on August 8 and never go back?"

"Ah, yes, this is a tricycle driver." Detective Ross said casually, "Unfortunately, the time of his disappearance does not coincide with the time of Jiao Jiali's disappearance."

"It's not the right number."

Meng Shaoyuan closed the file: "But there are some things that don't match up at all. If you can find that point, everything will fall into place."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, thank you for your file, and I'll treat you to dinner next time."

……

Xu Gencai often waited for work, and according to the memories of his companions, on the 20th, around noon, Xu Gencai received a job, which was done at Gu's house, and that was the last time they saw Xu Gencai.

The guest who was pulled was about 30 years old, and the specific appearance and characteristics were not clearly seen.

"What does this have to do with Xu Gencai?"

Yu Yanchu didn't particularly understand.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Over 30 years old, a rickshaw driver, Jiao Jiali. I guess, maybe Jiao Jiali is still alive."

"Alive?"

"And still alive and well!"

"Where is she now?"

"I don't know, so I need to find her."

"But the International Settlement is so big, where can one hide it alone?"

"The concession looks huge, but it's small in my eyes." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was full of confidence: "Let's go to Chefu on Yuyuan Road!"

……

Meng Shaoyuan did not enter Che's house, but stood at the door, as if measuring something there.

"According to what Che Ronghuan said, Jiao Jiali took this road when she left." Meng Shaoyuan walked forward dozens of times: "This is a three-way intersection, and going left and forward is going to a place with heavy traffic , but to the right?"

Li Zhifeng and Yu Yanchu quickly followed behind him.

"That tricycle driver must not be a real driver."

Meng Shaoyuan stopped in his tracks: "Putting a cart looks simple, but it is very skillful, and it is also a great test of physical strength. The person who pulls Jiao Jiali cannot be a real tricycle driver. He can't pull very far. Li Zhifeng."

"arrive."

"Let your people look around for abandoned houses that can hide things, especially pay attention to ponds and the like."

"Yes!"

In less than 10 minutes, there are results.

There is really a pond nearby.

"This pond is very deep, and people have been drowned. In addition, there are no people living around it, and there are no street lights, so there are few people at night."

"Jiao Jiali left at around 5 p.m., and there was no one here." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly, "That rickshaw must be under this pond."

"I'm going to look for it now."

After Li Zhifeng finished speaking, Meng Shaoyuan glared: "You have something wrong with your brain? We are looking for someone, why are you looking for a rickshaw? Are you going to change careers and become a rickshaw driver?"
