Huangzhou City Public Security Bureau, Lin Xi and Meng Kenan were in Team Yan's office. Lin Xi was telling Team Yan about the latest findings of the case.
"Director Yan, through investigation, we found that after Tang Liqin's father passed away, he had no source of income, so he returned to China early and started doing business soon after returning. However, he lost all his family property and owed a lot of debt.
"
Captain Yan listened to Lin Xi's new report and glanced at Meng Kenan out of the corner of his eye.
It was obviously the first time Meng Kenan had heard of what Lin Xi told Captain Yan, and he looked back at Captain Yan in a moment of embarrassment.
Lin Xi also noticed Meng Kenan's unnatural expression and quickly explained, "Oh, this was just found late yesterday. I haven't had time to tell Captain Meng yet."
Lin Xi continued to add, "A few days before the Xingfu Road case, Tang Liqin's check-in record was found in a hotel near the incident site, and the most suspicious thing is that he checked out of the room on the day of the incident."
"What?" Meng Kenan looked at Lin Xi in shock.
"Oh, these records were investigated in Meizhou before I came here. I brought them here for emergencies. After I went to the hospital yesterday to ask questions, I went back and checked the name Tang Liqin again. I happened to find his time in the hotel check-in records.
It is highly consistent with the time of the incident.”
After Lin Xi finished his explanation, he said firmly, "Now even if he doesn't admit it, we have sufficient reasons to identify him as the biggest suspect."
"Looking at it now, this Tang Liqin is indeed the biggest suspect." Captain Yan finally relented. After hearing this, Lin Xi's mouth turned up in an extremely subtle and unnoticeable way. Maybe it was his conspiracy that finally succeeded.
…
"Ring...Ring...Ring..."
Xiao Wu's phone ringing echoed in this small room. The sudden sound broke the silence and woke up Lu Sheng, who had been sleeping soundly.
Since the previous auditory hallucinations of cell phone ringtones, Lu Sheng simply set his cell phone to vibrate. Now that he heard the sound and woke up, he was sure that it must be someone's phone ringing.
"Hello, Brother Nan." Xiao Wu answered the phone and said weakly.
"You guys come back quickly, there's something going on here in Huangzhou." Meng Kenan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Did you find anything in Meizhou? Where is your master?"
Xiao Wu looked back at Lu Sheng who had woken up and said, "He's awake. Do you want to tell him?"
"I have to hang up. It's not convenient for me to talk to him now. Come back quickly. Come back now and drive back overnight." After saying that, the other end hung up the phone.
Lu Sheng slept for the whole day again, and it was already evening outside the window.
Lu Sheng looked at Xiao Wu. He was in a very poor mental state. His young face was already haggard, his eyes were dark, and his eyes were covered with thick red bloodshot eyes. He asked with concern, "You
Have you been awake all this time?"
Xiao Wu didn't say much, just said a simple "hmm".
"Any special discoveries?" Lu Sheng kept thinking about last night's USB flash drive and asked.
"Nothing was found." Xiao Wu answered briefly.
Lu Sheng's eyes, which had been looking forward just now, suddenly closed again, "It was your Brother Nan just now, what did you say?"
"Let's go back right away." Xiao Wu still didn't answer much.
"This kid, after tossing you like this, you can't let anyone live anymore," Lu Sheng opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Wu and then continued, "Last night I saw a noodle shop nearby. Let's go and have a bowl of noodles, and then go back to
go back."
"I just packed the food for you. I'll leave after eating." Xiao Wu said, gesturing to Lu Sheng for the fish ball noodles on the table.
"..." Lu Sheng glanced at his face and swallowed hard. He was about to say something, but thinking about Xiao Wu's hard work, he stopped.
"There's no fishy smell!" Xiao Wu said without turning around, but still sat there blankly.
After Lu Sheng got up, he walked to the table and tried it in small bites. Sure enough, there was no fishy smell anymore, so he ate it in big bites. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had his favorite fish ball noodles.
Lu Sheng and Xiao Wu left the hotel, and the front desk clerk warmly bid farewell to the master and apprentice.
Black clouds were wandering in the sky, and the night sky was covered with a dark coat. The wind was blowing on the road, and the broken leaves were pressed to the ground by the autumn wind, ruthlessly and cruelly rubbing against the ground repeatedly.
At this time in Meizhou, the city has entered a state of rest. The residential houses, tall and short, have already turned on the lights. Looking from a distance, the lights of thousands of houses must have many different stories.
Bar.
After coming all night and returning all night, after reaping the rewards, I feel worthy of the hard work. If I return empty-handed, I will feel unwilling but can only bear it silently.
But this regret may just be what Lu Sheng thinks.
Xiao Wu had been silent since Lu Sheng woke up. Lu Sheng noticed that Xiao Wu was different from the past. Although he inquired kindly, all he got in exchange was a few short words.
The car drove into Handan Road, Huangzhou City, and the beautiful building was still a lively scene. Xiao Wu, who had been quiet all the way, finally spoke, without looking at Lu Sheng, speaking meaningfully and as if talking to himself, but he said
These words were clearly meant for Lu Sheng to remember.
"I chatted with the front desk for a while in the morning. Their check-in records have a storage limit. Every time a new check-in record is added, the earliest record will be replaced. The earliest check-in record that can be found now can be reported to
Going back to…”
Xiao Wu paused and changed the three-year time limit to, "Going back to two years ago."
"Um, oh!" Lu Sheng listened carefully and responded subconsciously.
As soon as the two people turned into the alley after leaving Heping Street, they saw Meng Kenan's car waiting for them not far away.
Meng Kenan anxiously watched Xiao Wu park the car downstairs, "I heard a lot of new things during the day, true or false. I'm a little confused now."
Lu Sheng got out of the car and walked quickly to Meng Kenan, while Xiao Wu followed behind. The three of them just walked and talked.
After listening to Meng Kenan tell what happened during the day, especially after hearing Lin Xi's latest discovery about Tang Liqin's debt, Lu Sheng looked at Meng Kenan in surprise and asked, "Have we not investigated these before?
?”
Everything that happened during the day, especially the latest findings of Lin Xi's investigation in Huangzhou, had already made Meng Kenan very embarrassed. Faced with the merciless questioning from his old friend, he quickly explained.
"Tang Liqin owes us a loan shark. I guess Lin Xi investigated it by his own means."
"What's the hotel check-in record?" Lu Sheng suddenly thought of this, glanced at Meng Kenan, and then turned to look at Xiao Wu in confusion.
"He did enough homework before coming here. He found Tang Liqin's hotel check-in records on the days when the crime occurred," Meng Kenan continued to ask, "Have you found this? Is it true or false?"
Lu Sheng glanced at Xiao Wu again and said nothing.
"Lin Xi arrived earlier than us. The check-in record at the time of the incident was updated and can no longer be found." Xiao Wu, who had been silent next to him, finally spoke.
Lu Sheng said doubtfully, "So, whether it is true or false, is Lin Xi the only one who has the complete check-in record that can be traced back to the time of the crime?"
Xiao Wu didn't reply, acquiescing to Lu Sheng's question.
