Chapter 25 This is killing two birds with one stone
Hearing this, Qu Mingcong stopped the car and asked, "Why do you want to go to a massage parlor?"
"There's something I want to confirm." Qiao Yueying replied.
Qu Mingcong raised his eyebrows and looked at the street not far ahead, "Do we have to confirm at this time?"
"Massage shops usually stay open until late, and they haven't closed yet." Qiao Yueying paused and whispered, "I suspect something happened to the masseur I saw last time, so I want to confirm as soon as possible."
Qu Mingcong was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "...Are you serious?"
Qiao Yueying gave a soft "hmm" and said: "It's possible that nothing happened, but I have repeatedly reasoned and rehearsed it many times, and the result of the deduction is not optimistic. In order to confirm his current condition, I think it is necessary for us to
Go to a massage parlor."
Her words reminded Qu Mingcong of Shao Jiaming's abnormal behavior today, and his heart tensed up unconsciously. After a moment of confusion, he said in a deep voice: "Qiao Yueying, you can't joke about this kind of thing..."
"Are you kidding me? You'll know if you go there?" Qiao Yueying was unusually calm.
Qu Mingcong thought for a while, said nothing, and rode his motorcycle straight to the massage parlor.
Psychologically, he was not able to accept that a murder would occur in the neighborhood where he lived, but his intuition told him that the situation was indeed not quite right.
When he arrived at the place, he parked his motorcycle on the side of the road, adjusted his mood, and then rushed into the massage parlor as if he was in a hurry——
"Is the boss here?! Which of you is the boss?!"
It was the same old man from last time who looked at Qu Mingcong rushing in dumbfounded, "You...what's the matter with you?"
"I lost my things!" Qu Mingcong frowned, "Last time I came here for a massage, a keychain seemed to be left at your place!"
The old man suddenly understood, and then showed a look of false alarm on his face, "Oh, what else did I think it was? It turned out that I came here to find the key."
The old man opened the drawer and took out a keychain from the drawer. The keychain contained an old key and a plush dice pendant.
“We have a housekeeper here who cleans every day, and everything left behind by customers will be collected and cannot be thrown away.”
Qu Mingcong picked up the keychain and frowned even more, "There should be a small gold gourd on my keychain. It's a solid gold ornament. It was given by the old man at home. Please check the surveillance system quickly."
When the old man heard this, his eyes widened, "Jin, golden gourd?! This is what the cleaning lady looked like when she picked up the keychain! No one saw the golden gourd!"
"Is it possible that I came here at night to blackmail you?" Qu Mingcong sneered, "I think the golden gourd was either taken away by the cleaning staff, or stolen by the masseur that day, the one named Xiao, otherwise my golden gourd would still be there.
Can you grow wings and fly away on your own? Stop protecting me and call the people out to confront you."
The old man's face was very ugly, "Where can I go to confront someone at night?! Besides, Master Xiao no longer works for me! He resigned yesterday!"
"Resigned?!" Qu Mingcong felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He still looked angry, "I left my keychain here yesterday, and he resigned yesterday. You still say it wasn't him?
!Isn’t it obvious that he stole something and ran away?! What’s his phone number? Where does he live? If you don’t tell me, I will have no choice but to call the police. My golden gourd is worth tens of thousands!”
After some threats and deception, Qu Mingcong quickly obtained the other party's name, phone number and address.
After leaving the massage parlor, Qiao Yueying praised him: "My acting skills have become more and more perfect."
But Qu Mingcong had no intention of joking at this moment. He rushed to the other party's house and called him at the same time.
This blind masseur surnamed Xiao, named Xiao Fan, is a local. His parents have died. He lives alone in an old community not far from here, on the first floor.
Qu Mingcong couldn't get through his phone, so he rushed to his house and knocked on the door, but no one responded.
Qu Mingcong went around to the window and peeked in. The room was dark. Unwilling to accept it, he picked up a branch from the roadside, forced the window open through the anti-theft net, and then took a photo of the room with his mobile phone——
The house is not big, but it is kept very clean. It can be seen that the owner of the house has very meticulous living habits.
"No one is at home." Qu Mingcong frowned, glanced around, and threw away the branch in his hand, "I must have been in a hurry when I left, so the windows were not locked and the slippers were not put away. If I went away from home, I would not be able to come back for a long time.
, slippers should be stored in the shoe cabinet, not on the floor.”
He thought about it and couldn't help but feel lucky, "The owner of the massage parlor said that Xiao Fan called to resign at about 4:50 yesterday afternoon. The reason was that he had to go to Wucheng in an emergency. Do you think it is possible...
…He has already gone to Wucheng?”
Qiao Yueying said: "If Shao Jiaming didn't come to trouble you at noon today, then Xiao Fan should have really gone to Wucheng."
Qu Mingcong fell into silence after hearing this.
Qiao Yueying asked him: "Do you remember this morning, around 6:30, we saw Shao Jiaming driving back from outside. Aren't you curious where he came back from? Where were they last night? What did they do? From
What happened between 6:30 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. that caused him to suddenly come to the office to trouble you?"
Qu Mingcong looked solemn, "But how did Shao Jiaming know..."
He obviously didn't tell Shao Jiaming the clues about his cheating. Did Shao Jiaming hire other private detectives? Last night, Shao Jiaming and Xiao Fan were together?
Qiao Yueying said: "Shao Jiaming's behavior today is very strange. The curse words in his mouth are more and more harsh, but he comes to you with bare hands. When a person wants to cause trouble for another person, and he knows that the other person's force is not weak, shouldn't he
Do you prepare weapons in advance to improve your winning rate? Even if you just carry a bench leg, but he came with nothing, it’s like...he came here to get beaten on purpose."
At this point, her voice showed a slight coldness, "What is the reason why he has to be willing to be beaten? I think it is probably only when he wants to cover the bruises and scars on his body that he has to do this.
So when the police came, he immediately took off his mask and hat, so as to leave a deep enough impression on the police and make everyone think that the injuries on his face were caused by you."
"Isn't he afraid of self-defeating?" Qu Mingcong frowned, "If you want to cover up the wound, you can deliberately fall down, or you can just find a passerby to fight. Why do you have to choose me?"
"Yes, it has to be you." Qiao Yueying said, "First, because you have not given out the investigation results for a long time, it made Shao Jiaming mistakenly think that you were still under investigation. If you were allowed to continue the investigation, you discovered that Xiao Fan did not go to Wuhan
City, or digging out other clues will be very detrimental to Shao Jiaming, and he cannot directly ask you to interrupt the investigation, otherwise once the police investigate the cause of Xiao Fan's death in the future, Shao Jiaming will become the biggest suspect; second, Shao Jiaming is very burly.
, when ordinary people have a conflict with him, they will most likely give in. Even if they start fighting, they may not be able to hurt him. But you are different. You have been in the SWAT team. Wang Wei will definitely boast about your force value.
So Shao Jiaming chose you - this is killing two birds with one stone. It not only ruined the investigation order, but also found a reasonable explanation for the injuries on his body."
