Chapter two hundred and ninety first voyeur (fifteen)

"Why does it feel like we haven't come since we came? I feel like asking is in vain." Ma Xiaotao muttered.

"No, we have got the information we want. Zhou Xiaoxiao is a makeup artist, and his skills are very high." Wu Haotian said.

"Yes, not only is she highly skilled, but she also has some financial problems. Now the key to our problem is in the house she rented before. Let's go to Lianhua Community again.

I think this will further confirm my suspicion." Qin Nan said with the corner of his mouth raised.

"What are you talking about? Could it be that the murderer is in the rental house?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

Qin Nan and Wu Haotian looked at each other and then smiled. Ma Xiaotao didn't know what they were thinking.

Soon, Qin Nan and the others came to the monitoring room of Lianhua Community again. Qin Nan adjusted the time to one and a half months ago, which was the time Wang Dagui said he saw Zhou Xiaoxiao for the first time.

A month and a half ago in the surveillance, Qin Nan discovered that Zhou Xiaoxiao was sneaking around the door of 20-3 on the night of the 14th of last month. He seemed to be knocking on the door of 20-3 with something in his hand, but he did it.

It didn't open for a long time,

At midnight the next night, Zhou Xiaoxiao walked to the door of 20-3 with a large roll of tinfoil, and then started tinkering with the keyhole at the door. After tinkering for more than half an hour, he removed the tinfoil that had been stuffed in.

The paper was taken out again,

She looked around again, and then returned to the rental house at 20-7.

"So that's it...then do we have to go to 20-7 again?" Ma Xiaotao said with a smile.

"Well, let's go, it seems you finally figured it out." Qin Nan said with a smile.

Immediately, the three of them quickly arrived at 20-7 in Unit 8. Qin Nan looked at the time and saw that it was around six o'clock in the evening. He knocked on the door. Not long after, a middle-aged man in his fifties came to the door.

The young woman opened the door.

The woman was slightly startled when she saw the three of them, especially when she saw Qin Nan and the others wearing police uniforms.

"Hello, what's the matter?" the woman asked.

"Are you a tenant here or..." Qin Nan asked.

"I'm a tenant here. I haven't been home for a long time. Who are you looking for? If the landlord doesn't live here," the woman asked doubtfully.

"Is that so? Do you know Zhou Xiaoxiao?" Qin Nan asked.

"Zhou Xiaoxiao?! We know each other. They moved away in February..." the woman recalled.

"Okay, let's go in and sit down. We want to understand the issues related to Zhou Xiaoxiao." Qin Nan said.

"Okay, please come in. The living room is very small. You can just find a place to sit." The woman said, and then quickly rushed into the kitchen and turned off the natural gas that was running.

Qin Nan and the other two took a general look around the room. The living room seemed very crowded. He knocked on the wall and found that it was made of gypsum board. It seemed that the landlord had made some renovations to the room here.

Qin Nan and the others were sitting on the sofa outside, with their knees probably less than one meter away from the opposite wall, and the dining table over there only had a plastic stool.

It is said to be a living room, but in fact it is just a relatively spacious corridor.

The woman hurriedly came over from the kitchen and said: "I don't know how Zhou Xiaoxiao left. It seems that she encountered some financial difficulties so she moved away. Moreover, she didn't have much luggage, and she only had enough luggage to hold it all.

"

"Is it this duffel bag?" Ma Xiaotao found the photos on his phone and let her take a look, and the woman nodded in affirmation.

"Does she live alone on weekdays? Does she have a boyfriend?" Qin Nan then asked.

"Um...it doesn't seem to be the case. Her daily life is very simple, just go to work, go home and sleep, but I rarely see her. We only met on the day we moved. She didn't move until ten o'clock that night. I didn't know where she was.

Where did it go?" the woman said.

At this time, the man living in another room opened the door and walked to the toilet not far away. He felt a little strange when he saw three police officers sitting here.

"Is he also a tenant here?" Qin Nan asked.

"Yes, but..." The woman leaned into Qin Nan's ear and whispered:

"He had a lot of contact with Zhou Xiaoxiao. That day I almost thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but Xiaoxiao refused to admit it, and this man also denied the relationship between them."

Qin Nan and the three of them looked at each other, and then planned to ask the woman to go back to her room to avoid it. They had some questions they wanted to ask the man.

After the woman walked into the side room, Qin Nan saw the shadow of a pair of feet in the crack of the door below. She seemed to want to hear some gossip.

Qin Nan couldn't help but shook his head. After the man came out, Qin Nan motioned for him to go to the balcony to talk, and then closed the glass door of the balcony.

"Are you familiar with Zhou Xiaoxiao?" Qin Nan asked straight to the point.

"Um...Is it okay..." The man looked confused when asked, but his eyes seemed to be a little evasive.

Qin Nan knew at a glance that this man seemed to know something related to Zhou Xiaoxiao.

"What's your name?" Qin Nan asked.

"Wei Lin." the man said.

"Are you and Zhou Xiaoxiao boyfriend and girlfriend?" Qin Nan asked.

"Is...what's the matter?" the man asked with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Answer me, are you and Zhou Xiaoxiao boyfriend and girlfriend?" Qin Nan asked.

"Probably...no..." Wei Lin said hesitantly.

Qin Nan carefully observed Wei Lin's facial expression, and he was sure that Wei Lin seemed to know something.

"Why do you say should? This word is very vague. Are you chasing Zhou Xiaoxiao or..." Qin Nan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"She and I haven't had any contact for more than a month. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend, but I do like her very much, but I have some contradictions..." Wei Lin looked from left to right, looking very nervous.

Wei Lin wears a pair of glasses. He looks in his thirties but looks only in his twenties. His appearance is also relatively delicate. If there is a girl he likes, he should be able to pursue her.

"If there is any conflict, tell me..." Qin Nan asked.

Wei Lin looked at Qin Nan, then at Ma Xiaotao and Wu Haotian, and Qin Nan knew what he was thinking.

"Haotian, Xiaotao, you go in first, I'll ask him alone." Qin Nan said.

Immediately, Ma Xiaotao and Wu Haotian left the balcony filled with clothes and closed the glass door of the balcony.

"Okay, let's talk now. I'm the only one now." Qin Nan said with a smile.

"Do you have any cigarettes... I want to have a cigarette..." Wei Lin asked, looking at the two people sitting inside.

"Here." Qin Nan then took a cigarette and handed it to Wei Lin. Wei Lin's hand holding the cigarette was trembling a little, and he was not very skilled in lighting it.

He took a small breath and then began to cough unconsciously.

"Why do you smoke if you don't know how to smoke?" Qin Nan said looking at Wei Lin.

"I can smoke, but rarely... I haven't smoked for a month and a half," Wei Lin said with a trembling voice.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Qin Nan asked.

Wei Lin looked at Qin Nan, pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I have unrequited love for Xiaoxiao, and we just slept together. That night I thought we had confirmed our relationship.

But when she got up the next day, she asked me to pay her a sum of money..."

Wei Lin lay on the railing and looked out the window. There was silence below the balcony. Qin Nan didn't ask any other questions and waited for Wei Lin to tell his story. After a long while, Wei Lin continued:

"Since then, my relationship with her has been like that. Sometimes I feel that I...but I also feel it vaguely. Later, I also saw that she had several boyfriends in a month, and she also brought them all back.

When I got home, I knew..."

As Wei Lin spoke, he began to feel inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

"By the way, what happened to Xiaoxiao?" Wei Lin suddenly realized. After all, it was the police who came to the door.

"She...it's nothing, we just came to understand the situation." Qin Nan said with a smile.

"That's it, that's good, that's good..." Wei Lin said with a smile. He thought that Xiaoxiao might have been arrested for that kind of thing, but what he didn't know was that Zhou Xiaoxiao had already been there.

He was brutally murdered in the past week...
