"Tao...Taotao deputy team!"

When Tao Ran turned around, he saw Xiao Haiyang, the strangely "guankou" small glasses in the branch, running towards him.

Xiao Haiyang's glasses broke yesterday, and he didn't even bother to change a new one, and fell under his cheekbones in a slight twist. He stood in front of Tao Ran in anger, gasping for a few breaths with an unusually severe expression, which made Tao Ran feel a little chest tight.

Xiao Haiyang's face was as if he had just finished peeling his skin. He wiped the sweat from his hands on his pants and straightened his glasses. Then he could clear his throat and take out the memo of his cell phone from his pocket: "Partner Team Tao, I have a situation I want to report to you."

Tao Ran waited for him to breathe evenly with a good temper: "Don't worry, say something slowly."

"That's right. When I visited the West District yesterday, I found that their people lived in a very complicated area, with strong mobility and seasonality. It is common for tenants to change jobs and move out. Rather than living in group rentals, it is actually more similar to a medium- and long-term small hotel. Therefore, the relationship between people is not very close, unless they are fellow villagers who take care of each other. Yesterday, my colleagues were busy for a day and there was not much useful information."

Tao Ran nodded to him with a little encouragement: "Yes."

"But among the people who live with He Zhongyi, there is one who comes from the same province with him. This person is called..." Xiao Haiyang flipped the memo and said that he is a good relationship with the deceased. It is said that He Zhongyi's deliveryman's job was introduced by him. Ma Xiaowei said that he had something to do in the past two days to return to his hometown."

Tao Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise. He wanted to contact this person.

Xiao Haiyang: "I found the person in charge of the delivery point of the coffee chain store last night and asked for Zhao Yulong's contact information. After he heard that, he agreed to take the last long-distance bus last night and urgently return to Yancheng. I made an appointment with him to see him today."

Tao Ran looked at him thoughtfully: "I think the focus of the branch's investigation is on Ma Xiaowei now."

Xiao Haiyang's face tighter, and subconsciously pulled the hem of his shirt: "I...I always feel that the mysterious person who gave the deceased's mobile phone has something wrong. Now I believe that Ma Xiaowei is the murderer, and there are many suspicions... I also told our captain about this situation... He told me not to always be self-righteous and make trouble if I have nothing to do."

When Tao Ran heard this, his face darkened and his gentle smile disappeared: "What time have you made an appointment?"

"Oh," Xiao Haiyang looked at the watch, "If the long-distance bus is not delayed, it will be an hour later."

Tao Ran made a quick decision: "I'll go with you and go!"

While the grassroots criminal police were walking around the streets under the sun, Mr. Fei was leaning against the soft leather swivel chair in his office.

He gently pressed his finger against his forehead, and the notebook screen on the desk next to him was He Zhongyi's short and careless life. Fei Du found a contact information from the address book and called him.

"Hey, Brother Chang, it's me," Fei Du listened to what he said on the other end of the phone and lowered his head and smiled, "Well, I'm sorry, I really want to ask you for help."

In less than half an hour, Fei Du successfully got what he wanted - the night of the opening of Chengguang Mansion, all the nearby surveillance cameras were recorded.

It was lunch break, Fei Du was heating a can of sweet milk in the microwave in the tea room. He praised the secretary's figure and told her to have a good meal and not lose weight anymore. Then he locked the door of his office, put on his headphones, circled the song in his car, and pulled out a piece of a4 paper.

He used an abstract painting method that only he could understand to draw a simple topographic map on paper, then turned his pen, thought for a moment, gently ticked a few circles on it, and wrote "20:00-21:30". Then, he paused his pen and changed: "20:00" to "20:30".

Fei Du picked out a few of them from a large number of monitoring records, put them together, and chose the time period from 8:30 to 9:30, and used fast forward to read it.

Several sets of images on the screen flashed back quickly at the same time. He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and his energy seemed to be concentrated in his eyes, staring at the screen motionlessly.

At this time, Luo Wenzhou was walking near a transportation hub in Huacheng District with a briefcase and wearing his sexy sunglasses. He waved hands to the taxi passing by on the road from time to time. Unfortunately, the ones who ran over were not empty cars. Seeing this, Huacheng District's specialty, a string of black taxi drivers parked on the side of the road, collectively invited him.

"Does the handsome guy take the car?"

"Handsome guy, where are you going?"

"Cheap, faster than a taxi!"

Luo Wenzhou picked and looked at the army of black cars and finally stopped in front of a young man with a flat head.

The young man felt very obedient and immediately opened the car door diligently for him: "Where are you going to get in the car?"

Luo Wenzhou sat sideways in without saying a word.

The flat-headed young man turned on the air conditioner for him and drove the car out of the convoy smoothly: "Handsome guy, haven't you said where you are going yet?"

"Just move forward." Luo Wenzhou took off his sunglasses and looked at the driver through the rearview mirror. The driver was stunned and a little uneasy.

"I have an anonymous report here." After walking for a while, Luo Wenzhou opened his briefcase calmly, took out a copy, and flipped it over. The driver's face changed immediately. He almost scratched a car next to him and was hit by a long whistle. Luo Wenzhou's expression remained unmoved, "I am not from your branch, don't panic, then drive forward, and I have a few words to ask you."

Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang successfully met He Zhongyi's fellow villager Zhao Yulong, and the three of them went to a small noodle restaurant together.

Zhao Yulong, who was middle-aged, worked hard in Yancheng for many years. Although he still had difficulty gaining a foothold, he looked much more decent than the young people who were hitting walls everywhere. The man had a tired look on his face that had been on a long-distance bus for more than ten hours, blinked a few times, and his wide-edged bags were shaking: "I really didn't expect something to happen to him - police officer, can I smoke a cigarette?"

No one in the small noodle restaurant implemented a smoking ban, and there were men who were spitting out clouds everywhere. Zhao Yunlong sucked two puffs hard and rubbed his face: "Zhongyi is a rule-based child. Many people are idle and go to the chess and card rooms in the billiards hall. He never goes to work and saves money. He said he wanted to take it home to see his mother. He doesn't steal, rob, gamble, and don't cause trouble. Why did he get into trouble? What do you two want to ask? As long as I know, I will definitely not hide it."

Tao Ran looked at Zhao Yulong and found that although he used his right hand to eat with chopsticks, his hand holding the cigarette and the teacup handle facing the left. In the old days, parents were afraid that their children would "fight" on the table to eat, so they would forcibly "correct" left-handed people. This situation was common.

Tao Ran took out a photo from his wallet, and took the pair of shoes on the deceased's feet: "I would like to ask, did you lend this shoe to He Zhongyi?"

Zhao Yulong looked down and his eyes almost turned red. He nodded absent-mindedly: "It's mine, he... did he walk in these shoes?"

"Yes, these shoes are very critical," said Tao Ran. "Do you know why he borrowed these shoes?"

Zhao Yulong was a little confused and thought for a while: "I said I wanted to go to a very high-end place to meet people, and I called it... What's the name of Guang... Chengguang Building or a villa?"

Xiao Haiyang suddenly sat upright: "Chengguang Mansion!"

"Yes," said Zhao Yulong, "it's this name."

"Who are you going to meet? What's the matter?"

Zhao Yulong shook his head: "I didn't say anything, I asked, the child has a very positive idea and a strict mouth."

Xiao Haiyang quickly asked: "Mr. Zhao, He Zhongyi has a new mobile phone, right?"

"Ah, there is one," Zhao Yulong said, "that white one is not something he can't bear to use, but he still uses the old one in the past. Sometimes he takes out the new phone and looks at it, but the film has been pasted several layers first."

Xiao Haiyang: "Then do you know who gave that phone?"

Zhao Yulong frowned slowly.

Tao Ran asked: "What?"

"He first said that it was delivered by his fellow countrymen. I thought it was strange at the time, because I had never heard him mention any acquaintances in the local area before. I was afraid that he would be careless and meet some bad guys again. Isn't it because I bought you such expensive things for no reason? " Zhao Yulong shot the ashes, "I chased him and asked, and he told me that one day, when the delivery was delivered, there was a little conflict with someone, and someone beat him a few times. He didn't fight back. Later, I didn't know if it was because of the regrets or what happened, so I apologized to him."

Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang looked at each other - they had never heard of this situation when they visited before.

What is there to hide when a conflict with someone and the other party apologizes again?

If it is true, why did He Zhongyi vaguely say that it was given by an acquaintance?

He Zhongyi lived with so many people, but no one could see that he was beaten, which shows that the physical conflict was not serious at that time. So why did the other party "apologize" and also give valuables?

Suddenly, this murder case that seemed to be found by investigating the personal relationship of the deceased became inexplicably confusing.

Zhao Yulong didn't know the exact origin of the mysterious mobile phone, but provided an approximate time when the conflict occurred. Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang had to follow this clue and find the delivery company where He Zhongyi worked for, searching for clues.

In the afternoon, the sky, which was originally clear, changed its face without warning. The arrogant sunshine was surrounded by dark clouds from nowhere. The depressed wind brought a tide, and there was a sudden rain.

Luo Wenzhou got off the bus near a subway entrance, but did not leave. He reached out and pressed the car door and glanced around. A bun that was originally parked at the intersection suddenly moved when his eyes passed by, and slowly drove away as guiltyly.

Luo Wenzhou bent down slightly, and attached himself to the driver's ear through the half-open car window: "Someone is staring at you, be careful. If there is any situation, please look for me at any time."

The black car driver was blowing the cold air conditioner, still sweating all over his forehead, and nodding quickly.

Luo Wenzhou glanced at him deeply, turned around and walked towards the subway station. As soon as he passed the security check, his cell phone rang.

"Taoran, how is it?" He said while swiping his card to enter the station, and then his steps suddenly stopped, "What? Repeat that name again."

Fei Du's office had a "snap" sound, and the wind blew it closed, and a few pieces of paper fell to the ground. At this time, his hand holding the mouse suddenly moved.

Fei Du freezes one of the surveillance screens, zooms in and then flips back, and finds that it is about 8:50 pm.

It was a very peripheral camera, which was almost no longer in the scope of Chengguang Mansion. It was photographed with a gravel path.

As the water system approaches, there are still many mosquitoes even in early summer, and there are very few people passing by after dark. Even if there are occasional people, they are all in a hurry - and a hesitant shadow lingers under the street light for a long time.

From the camera, I can only see that the man was wearing a rough and inconsistent formal outfit, not tall and a little thin. He stood there and smoked a few cigarettes in a row. He held a kraft paper bag tightly in his hand, and looked up from time to time in one direction for a while. After a while, he seemed to have received a call, said a few words to the person on the phone, and then hurried out of the range of the camera.

Fei Du watched this video several times, not sure if it was the deceased who had a chance to meet him. He grabbed the keys of the car, closed the computer and went out.

Forty minutes later, Fei Du arrived at the central business district of Huashi District.

He looked up at the increasingly gloomy sky, took out an umbrella from the trunk of the car, and walked towards the scenic area near Chengguang Mansion.

Feidu has a very good sense of direction and has almost no detours. He found the location of the surveillance camera.

The water vapor in the air was so rich that it was about to fall. He carefully observed the location of the surveillance, recalling the direction the people in the camera were looking around, and turned around - at the end of the road, he could see the shadows of Chengguang Mansion.

Fei Du's eyes fell on the trash can next to him - a cigarette stone, and a few cigarette butts were lying alone.

There are few people here, and the trash cans are clean, and almost no one throws anything in it. The cleaner will come to clean it up every ten days and half a month. Fei Du took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and carefully pinched the cigarette butts.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Fei Du wrapped the cigarette butt calmly, then took out his cell phone. When he saw the caller ID, he smiled before he could say something: "Why, have you suddenly stopped seeing me like a day after a long time?"

Tao Ran's voice was quite serious: "Are you in Chengguang Mansion the night before yesterday?"

"Here," Fei Du, "What's wrong?"

"Are you with someone named Zhang Donglai?"
