"I understand. It turns out that the murderer has been lurking in the building opposite Zhang Jiali. Who is the murderer?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Qin Nan and asked.
"I don't know who it is. Anyway, the scope has been narrowed down now. Let's go." Qin Nan walked towards the elevator entrance, Ma Xiaotao followed closely behind.
Qin Nan and the others quickly arrived at the 24th floor. He took out the trace inspection light and shined something at the door of the four households opposite the elevator.
At the beginning of the period, Qin Nan and others thought that the murderer would be from the fourth household near the elevator, because the golden retriever fell from the building in the direction of the elevator.
But after later investigation, it was discovered that the roof was where the murderer threw the golden retriever downstairs, and the four households opposite the elevator were all facing Zhang Jiali's house.
If Zhang Jiali does anything at home on weekdays, you can observe her movements with a telescope. The reason why other floors are excluded is
It was because the blood stains on the safety stairs were discovered from this floor, and only the golden retriever's hair was found in the corridor on this floor.
Qin Nan and Ma Xiaotao observed for a long time, but still found nothing. There was no blood stain on the four doors.
"Detective Qin, your reasoning is not wrong, right?" Ma Xiaotao complained.
"Probably not..." Qin Nan stood up straight and said with a frown.
In fact, he also had some doubts, but if he wanted to fully observe the situation inside Zhang Jiali's house, this seemed to be the most suitable place.
At this time, Qin Nan suddenly thought of something, and then the two of them came to the property management office.
"Excuse me, how many of the four households on the 24th floor of Building 4, near Building 1, are tenants? Have you registered these here?" Qin Nan asked.
"Are you..." The property staff looked at Qin Nan and then at Ma Xiaotao in confusion.
Ma Xiaotao took out his police officer ID card and expressed his intention to come. Immediately, the staff started looking up something on the computer.
"The four households by the window... let me see... two families are tenants, and the other two are the owners here." The staff member looked at the computer screen and said.
"Help me check the households on the 24th floor of a building. There is one named Zhang Jiali. Is she a tenant or the owner here?" Qin Nan asked.
"She is also a tenant here. She probably moved here last year. I have a note on it," the staff member said.
"Please help me find out when the two tenants on the 24th floor of Building 4 moved here." Qin Nan then asked.
"Let me see...one family moved here last year, and the other family just moved here last month," the property staff said.
The corners of Qin Nan's mouth rose because he was getting closer to the truth.
"What's the name of the tenant who moved here last year?" Qin Nan asked.
"Let me take a look, call..." the property manager said.
Ma Xiaotao was stunned when he heard the name, while Qin Nan raised the corners of his mouth because this seemed to be the answer he wanted...
…
The man in black in the phone booth was observing Zhang Jiali's every move. At this time, Zhang Jiali looked extremely tired and her mental state was not very good.
After seeing this, the man in black quietly opened his phone and ordered a cup of hot milk tea for Zhang Jiali. It didn't take long for Zhang Jiali to receive a cup of pearl milk tea.
Zhang Jiali looked at the receipt and saw that it was still her phone number, and there was a sticky note on the milk tea cover with a line of words written on it:
"Learn to take care of yourself."
After Zhang Jiali saw it, she looked outside the store. When the man in black saw it, he quickly turned his head and started pretending to make a phone call.
After Zhang Jiali looked at the hot cup of milk tea in her hand, she couldn't help but smile. She then looked at the photo posted on the wall of the noodle pot and murmured:
"Junjie, are you really still alive?"
…
Time goes back to a year ago, after Zhang Jiali and Zhou Junjie got married.
"We only spent about 5,000 yuan on our wedding this time, and then I'll see how many red envelopes we have..." Zhang Jiali picked up the stack of red envelopes and started counting.
It didn't take long for Zhang Jiali to finish clearing the red envelopes in her hands, and then she pursed her lips and smiled.
"How much, honey." Zhou Junjie rested his head on Zhang Jiali's shoulder. Zhang Jiali shook her shoulders, coughed twice and said:
"Seven thousand two." Zhang Jiali said with a smile.
Zhou JJ couldn't hide the smile on his face, picked up Zhang Jiali and spun around in circles.
"Haha, okay, put me down, I'm going to vomit." Zhang Jiali said.
When Zhou Junjie heard this, he quickly put her on the sofa and pressed her temples.
"Honey, can you give me some living expenses? I don't have any money to buy cigarettes..." Zhou Junjie said coquettishly.
Zhang Jiali glanced at Zhou Junjie and gave him five hundred yuan.
"Stop smoking, got it?" Zhang Jiali reminded.
Zhou Junjie hummed and nodded. At this moment, Zhang Jiali suddenly remembered something and then said:
"By the way, are you optimistic about the appearance of our noodle shop this time?"
"Look, look, it's more than 40,000 a year, and it gives us ten days to decorate and clean." Zhou Junjie said.
"Let me do the math, it's more than 40,000 yuan... plus the more than 60,000 yuan that my parents gave us before, and then the 200,000 yuan that we saved..." Zhang Jiali picked up the computer and started to calculate various expenses and income.
…
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Zhou Junjie raised the corner of his mouth, hurriedly opened the door, and then handed the thing in his hand to Zhang Jiali.
"Honey, the first cup of milk tea in autumn~" Zhou Junjie said playfully.
…
It didn't take long for the two of them to open their Lijie Noodle Shop, and the business was booming. The only drawback was that the store was a little small.
A few days after the noodle shop opened, Zhang Jiali was busy cooking noodles alone in the noodle shop. Zhou Junjie and Zhang Jiali said hello and said they would go out to meet their high school classmates later.
Zhou Junjie originally wanted Zhang Jiali to accompany him, but she really wanted to stay in the noodle shop and sell two more bowls of noodles, so Zhou Junjie went to drink and dine alone with several high school classmates.
Zhang Jiali closed the store at nine o'clock as usual. She sent a message to Zhou Junjie, asking him to drink less and come back early. Zhou Junjie responded with an OK expression.
Zhang Jiali didn't sleep after she got home. She just sat on the sofa. At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhou Junjie still didn't come home. She just waited and waited, and fell asleep unknowingly.
That night, she had a dream. She dreamed that Zhou Junjie had a child. The three of them also bought a large villa, and their own noodle shop opened dozens of branches...
Suddenly, Zhang Jiali's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar mobile number. She looked at the time and saw that it was only four in the morning.
Suddenly, her heart tightened, and she always felt that something bad was going on.
"Hey, hello, who are you?" Zhang Jiali asked.
"Are you Zhang Jiali?" asked a man on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, you are..." Zhang Jiali asked doubtfully, this man's voice was a bit unfamiliar.
"I'm from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Your husband just got into a car accident and is in some critical condition. He is currently being treated in the emergency room of the First People's Hospital," the man said.
After Zhang Jiali heard this, her heartbeat seemed to skip two beats, and tears burst into her eyes. Regardless of her messy hair, she picked up the bag left at the door and rushed to the First People's Hospital at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, there were two police officers, three high school classmates, and a man who looked to be in his forties outside the emergency room.
"Jia, Jia Li, you're here..." one of the boys said hesitantly.
"Where is my husband, where is Junjie?" Zhang Jiali grabbed the boy's shoulders and asked hysterically.
"Jiali, calm down. Junjie is currently in the emergency room. There was a car accident more than half an hour ago..." The boy's eyes looked at the man in his forties from time to time.
The name of this man in his forties was Xiao Zhixiong, a truck driver. He was too sleepy that night to see the road ahead clearly. In addition, after Zhou Junjie drank, he could not see clearly the person in front of him.
So when Xiao Zhixiong was crossing the road, he was directly run over by this truck.
"Are you the driver who caused the accident?" Zhang Jiali grabbed Xiao Zhixiong's clothes like crazy. Xiao Zhixiong also took a few steps back in fear because he was completely irrational.
At this time, Zhang Jiali slapped Xiao Zhixiong without warning, and two police officers quickly stopped her.
"Miss Zhang, calm down first, Zhou Junjie is still being rescued," the policeman said.
"Sister, I, I really didn't mean it!" Xiao Zhixiong said helplessly.
At this moment, the red light in the emergency room suddenly went out, and a doctor opened the door to the emergency room...
