The daily life of a double-faced rookie and an awkward old detective

Yuan Che took Ke Ran to a simple lunch and rushed to Qu Jing and Sui Yuliang's home.

It is no exaggeration to say that the place where they live is a slum in the city.This area is completely open, and there is no such thing as a community. At first glance, none of the outer walls of these densely packed buildings is complete, and they are scattered like stale fish that have lost their scales. One building next to another carefully.

There are quite a lot of dead angles and blind spots in monitoring in such a place, and it is impossible to see anything from monitoring.

The alleys between the buildings were very narrow, Yuan Che could only park his car in a parking space outside the buildings.The two walked through three buildings before arriving at Sui Yuliang's home.Walking downstairs, there were a few old ladies enjoying the shade under a big tree on the opposite side of the building. They were chatting vigorously while picking vegetables. Seeing Yuan Che and the others approaching, they looked up and didn't take it seriously at all. continue chatting:

"There are always people who hurt others but don't benefit themselves. Do you bully my old lady who has no son? It's too bad."

"Okay, don't be angry, can't you just pretend that the wind is blowing?"

"No matter how strong the wind is, can it blow through the window? When I catch him, I'll stand at the door and scold his ancestors."

Yuan Che and the others stood downstairs for a while, looking at the surrounding environment.

As soon as Yuan Che looked up at the floor, he saw a small black object falling from it. He took advantage of the opportunity and tugged Ke Ran who was standing in front. Ke Ran was unprepared, staggered and looked back at Yuan Che suspiciously.

"Something fell." Yuan Che looked at the pulverized things that fell on the ground, and then looked up at the outer wall of the house.

A thin old lady on the opposite side reminded loudly: "Stay away from there, that place has been peeling for the past two days, and the front part has hit people."

The old lady who was complaining just now grabbed her and asked, "Who? Who did you hit?"

"I don't know, I just heard an ouch, and when I opened the window to look, no one was there. I guess it's nothing serious."

The old lady who was listening to the cheerfulness said: "You are so dawdling, what else can you see when you come out to see?"

Yuan Che wanted to nod to the old lady to thank him, but they had completely forgotten about it, and the topic had already turned to the interesting incident that happened to the dawdling old lady.

Yuan Che didn't want to interrupt them, so he saved his manners.

Looking at Ke Ran again, some gray powder stuck to his shoulders on his white shirt that dazzled his eyes.He reached out and approached Ke Ran's shoulder, but he remembered Ke Ran's evasive actions several times today, but he didn't move after all, and let the extreme gray lie on his shoulder obtrusively.

When they walked into the building, there were sundries piled up in the dark corridors, some of which were almost touching the ceiling, and they didn't know how they were put there, and some places were so narrow that only one person could walk.

On the fourth floor, Yuan Che checked the address and turned to Sui Yuliang's house on the left.Wearing gloves, Yuan Che took out the key he found from Sui Yuliang and tried it twice before opening the door.

The two of them put on the shoe covers they brought and walked in the door. There were two pairs of slippers on the mat at the door, one big and the other small. The small one was a bit messy, but the big one was neatly placed.

The house is not big, only about [-] square meters, one bedroom and one living room, a sofa and a tea table in the whole living room already take up a lot of space, the bedroom door is on the left, and the bathroom is right next to the bedroom, facing the door .

Yuan Che signaled Ke Ran to check in the room separately.

Yuan Che took a look around in the bathroom. The things here were clear at a glance. Some daily necessities were scattered on the small hanging racks. The lid of a small washing machine was open, and there were some dirty clothes inside. It's clean.

He came out of the bathroom and went into the bedroom.

This bedroom is much smaller than the outside space. There is a double bed that is not too wide. It is said that the double bed is actually two iron single beds put together. There are many clothes on the bed neatly folded on the head of the bed.

There is also a chest of drawers squeezed next to the bed, on which some daily necessities are neatly placed.A wooden window lets in a little sunlight from the roof of the building in front, and the room is dark when the lights are not turned on.

At this moment, the light in the bedroom was on, and Ke Ran was squatting next to the open wardrobe, staring into the closet without moving.

"What did you find?" Yuan Che approached Ke Ran and looked over. There were some summer clothes hanging in the wardrobe. drawer.

Ke Ran seemed to wake up suddenly. The moment he raised his head, he was so close to Yuan Che's face that he could feel his breath. He hurriedly stood up and dodged to the side. He lost his balance and seemed about to fall backwards.

Yuan Che instinctively stretched out his hand to hold him, but Ke Ran dodged when he stretched out his hand, and stood still while holding on to the cabinet door. Then he seemed to feel that this was not very suitable, so he adjusted his posture. The posture is just a little stiff.

Yuan Che's outstretched hand was still in the air, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He had never been so disgusted by anyone.

Yuan Che withdrew his outstretched hand and put it in his pocket:

"You, what did you find?"

Yuan Che originally wanted to ask him why he was avoiding him, but seeing Ke Ran's expression, he changed his words temporarily.

It is his job requirement not to talk about personal affairs at work, and he cannot make an exception for this person; besides, he has a feeling that even if he asks, he may not be able to ask anything. people.

"There's a toy in here." Ke Ran pointed to the inside of the closet.

Yuan Che bent down and looked under the hanging clothes. A Transformer was lying there crookedly, and a small cushion was half folded and half laid flat on this platform.

This location is hidden under the hanging clothes. If you don't squat down, you can't see it at all. It's very hidden.

"There are boys in their family, so it's not uncommon to have toys." Yuan Che asked, and he also found that some places in this family were very contradictory and uncoordinated.

"You can see that the other cabinets in his house are full, and there are clothes on the bed. There is still clothes under this wardrobe, but it is empty, as if it was intentionally empty."

"Then why do you think it's so empty?"

"I wonder if it's a place for Sui Xin to play."

"Playing in the closet?"

"I guess, Sui Yuliang has domestic violence, when this happens, where will the child be?"

Yuan Che looked at the bedroom and the not-so-large space outside the door. He could see everything at a glance, and there was really nowhere to hide:

"You mean he will hide in this cabinet? So his mother specially prepared this space for the child so that he can hide?"

"I'm just guessing."

"I also found a strange place. The rest of the house is a bit messy. The items in the bathroom are placed everywhere, and the coffee table in the living room is also a bit messy. But this place looks a bit too neat. It doesn't look like two people in the same family. The style of the room is like that of a different family.”

Ke Ran looked back, his eyes fell on the foot of the bed, Yuan Che also noticed something at the same time, he quickly bent down and lay down on the ground to look under the bed.There are also a lot of things under the bed, which are full of dust, and some dust extends from under the bed to the outside, leaving some marks on the side of the bed.The traces seemed to have been wiped by something, and the dust that should have extended was neatly cut off.

The bed seemed uneven, so the four corners were covered with paper shells, but the left foot of the bed was not covered with paper shells.

Turning around the bed, Ke Ran suddenly squatted down, and there was half a man's footprint in a place under the bed where there were no items piled up.

The floor of this room is the kind of very old floor, the color has become gray due to age, and the floor looks dirty.Footprints on such a floor will go unnoticed.But there was piled up dust under the bed, and this half footprint was on top of the dust, which was very obvious.

Ke Ran said in a low voice, "This shoe print is in the dust. It stands to reason that there should be footprints elsewhere."

"The ground was wiped. Maybe it was left a few days ago." Yuan Che said this deliberately.

Ke Ran looked at the shoe print and there was almost no dust on it: "But Sui Xin said that his father hasn't come back for several days. This shoe print is very fresh."

"Do you suspect that someone has entered here? This room has been cleaned, which means that Qu Jing was probably taken away from here?"

"En." Ke Ran lowered his head and responded softly.

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Che had already made a call: "Section Chief Song? We were at the home of the two deceased on September 9.24. We found something here, please send someone to collect it? Okay, we'll wait. "

After making the phone call, seeing Ke Ran still staring at the Transformers in the cabinet, Yuan Che was silent for a while and said: "If Sui Xin didn't have a fever yesterday, and this is the scene of the crime, when the crime happened, the child would probably have died. If you see it, you may even be killed at the same time."

Ke Ran said with gloomy eyes: "Well, Sui Yufeng said that there was no one at home when she came to pick up Sui Xin. I was thinking, why wasn't she at home that day?"

Yuan Che looked at the open cabinet door and at the bed facing the cabinet door, and was silent for a while: "Do you suspect that she was already under control on the 23rd? Then who is the person who communicated with Sui Yufeng on the 24th?"

"No, no, I just thought about it casually."

Yuan Che smiled slightly and said: "Taking Chen Guang's words, it's a good idea. If Qu Jing is under control on the 23rd, she won't be able to go to work that night. Lao Guo and the others will ask for some information. Let's ask later Neighbors see who saw her yesterday morning, maybe she just happened to go out that day."

Ke Ran touched his earlobe, chuckled, and didn't speak.

Yuan Che began to look at the items in the chest of drawers. The items in the chest of drawers were also placed in a mess, which contrasted sharply with the neatness on the top of the cabinet.

There is a box on the first floor, which contains 300 yuan and several small change of more than ten yuan.The second and third floors are children's clothes, and the fourth floor is women's underwear. Among these messy underwear, there is a large box placed under a pile of underwear. Yuan Che turned it out and opened it.

Inside are some cards and ticket stubs of performances. There are concert tickets and movie tickets. There is only one ticket for each ticket, and they are all neatly placed together, making them look extremely cherished.

Looking at the date on the ticket, the earliest one starts from the beginning of this year, which happens to be Valentine's Day.

"Do you think she is the kind of person who spends money to watch musicals?" Yuan Che asked.

Ke Ran shook his head: "Their life should be relatively tight. For the concert, look at the seats above, at least [-] yuan. And the time is all night. This time seems to be her working time."

Yuan Che picked up the phone and made a call, turned on the speakerphone and said, "Old Guo? Where are you? How is it going?"

Guo Turong on the phone seemed to be answering the phone while walking. Yuan Che felt hot when he thought about the hot sun outside. Guo Turong said out of breath:

"We walked two places under the sun. The boss answered the phone and said that he was out of town and asked to find the supervisor. The supervisor said that the boss didn't come back. He said nothing. If you ask him anything else, you can ask him three questions."

"They themselves have a problem. They are afraid that pulling out a radish will pull out a pile of mud. It is impossible to ask a direct question like this. Then we can only ask from the side. Have you never been to a bar?"

"What am I going there for? You are familiar with it."

Yuan Che chuckled: "That kind of bar is too low-grade."

"Okay, the lower class is just right for me, we're going tonight. How are you?"

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the bureau and talk about it in detail, then hang up. Ah, yes, you should dress up anyway, you are too serious." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to refute .

Ke Ran was flipping through other things in the box, when he heard Yuan Che say this, he suddenly raised his head to look at him, just in time to meet Yuan Che's gaze, and hurriedly looked away, returning to the box.

Yuan Che hung up the phone and said, "Today they pretended to be guests and went to the bar to find out about the situation."

Ke Ran nodded without saying anything, and continued to flip through his hands.

"You turned it over for a while, and you'll catch it if you turn it down again." Yuan Che looked sideways at Ke Ran slightly.

Ke Ran took out the card inside and handed it to Yuan Che: "Look at these cards, they belong to the flower shop. Although the words on it are printed out, the content inside is not the conventional one of the flower shop. It sounds like there are Feel it."

Yuan Che took out a card and read the message on it: "Stroking your hibiscus-like cheeks always makes me tremble, my heart trembles for you, and all that flows in my blood is the longing for you. The poems represent my mood at the moment: when there is a beauty, I will never forget it when I see it, and if I don’t see it for a day, I will miss it like crazy."

Yuan Che's voice has a soul-piercing rhyme. Now that he reads love poems with such a voice, the hearts of those who listen will throb.He obviously didn't realize this, and said with a slight frown: "It looks like it was written by someone with a bit of ink. Putting these together means that Qu Jing is having an affair. This person is a very knowledgeable person, or Pretending to be learned, but for some reason, he didn't want others to know that they were dating, and these printed cards were also afraid that his handwriting would reveal his identity."

"Well. As for the reason, it's either a sensitive status or a married person."

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Yuan Che picked up the ticket for the latest concert, picked up the phone again, and this time called Liu Hecheng: "Ah Cheng, go and check if there are surveillance points around the Yuwen Grand Theater and Xinghai Cinema, especially the ones from businesses. , to see if you can find the monitoring between 8:14 p.m. and 07:30 p.m. on August [-]th.

After hanging up the phone, the two of them walked around the room again. When they arrived at the kitchen, the kitchen was tidy. Some vegetables in the refrigerator seemed to have lost their moisture.

Yuan Che said: "There are no traces of being pried open on the door. Maybe you knew the deceased, so you opened the door to let him in?" He and Ke Ran stood in the small kitchen. The distance became very close, and Yuan Che could smell the faint scent of body wash on Ke Ran's body.

Ke Ran glanced sideways at Yuan Che who was close at hand, then exited the kitchen, and said hastily, "Maybe pretending to be a courier. I see some unpacked courier boxes piled up in the corner of the room."

Yuan Che followed out of the kitchen and kept a relatively close distance with Ke Ran: "This may not be big, it was a storm yesterday, and in this weather, it is not unusual for someone to deliver a courier?"

"Indeed." Ke Ran slightly rolled his eyes, as if checking more carefully, and left Yuan Che's side again.

Yuan Che didn't follow this time. He folded his arms and looked at the man pretending to be busy over there. The more Ke Ran dodged deliberately, the more he wanted to get closer, feeling a sense of provocative excitement.

Just as he was stealthily following Ke Ran, Ke Ran suddenly stopped, causing Yuan Che to almost run into him.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Che looked at Ke Ran's face from the side, his nose was upturned, his eyes were slightly squinted and looked forward, his long eyelashes were raised, his eyes didn't blink, but he followed his gaze and looked over. It's just a door panel, nothing, Yuan Che asked while admiring the profile.

Ke Ran began to look around: "I always feel that something is missing."
