Tiger Police

Chapter 637 Don't answer the phone
This is a recent chat log.

Hu Pingtao continued to turn up.

"I have an appointment with Xiao Huang. I will go to Daguanlou Park this Friday. You should come too!"

"I'm not going. Well, I want to sleep."

"Slacker. You haven't seen Xiao Huang yet, come out and help me see!"

"Does that mean you found a new boyfriend?"

"Look at what you said, what is a new one? I haven't been there all along, okay?"

"Okay! I said the wrong thing... I really don't want to talk to you. I slept too late last night and I was so sleepy. See you later."

……

"Tomorrow is my birthday, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Your birthday?"

"Yes! Didn't you say last time that you would give me a pair of shoes for my birthday?"

"...I'm so poor recently."

"I'm kidding you, just kidding! It's a real birthday. Come to the store early in the afternoon and have dinner with me when I get off work. I'll treat you to crayfish."

"I still won't go. One is that the crayfish is too spicy and I can't eat it. The other is that I have to study and have an exam."

"Oh, it's just a meal, I can't delay you."

"Forget it, I really won't go."

……

"Let's go to the movies this weekend!"

"No time..."

It's all stuff like that.

Hu Pingtao noticed that since more than a week ago, the content of the conversation is still different.

"I made an appointment with a friend to have dinner together tonight."

"Okay! Where is it?"

"I get off work at six o'clock. How about we make an appointment at the Electric Power Building? There is a snack street next to it. Go to the movies after eating."

"Ok."

Hu Pingtao raised his head and asked, "You and Chu Ruoying often hang out?"

Zhou Zhixin nodded: "Our relationship has always been very good."

Hu Pingtao had doubts about this in his heart: "I read your WeChat chat records, why are you almost always asking her out?"

Zhou Zhixin explained: "I want to introduce a boyfriend to Xiaoying. Because when we were renting together, Xiaoying said that her family urged her to get married. It happened that I knew a few men here. I thought it was suitable, so I made an appointment. The two sides came out to play together. Later, Xiaoying said that he was not interested in them, so I didn’t make another appointment.”

"Later, Xiaoying found another job and moved away from me. We kept in touch on WeChat and often chatted on the phone."

"There was another incident during that time. The delivery drivers in the store changed frequently. One named Zhang Qiming was dispatched from the company to deliver goods to the store. I and the staff in the store had the same brand name. Hanging on the wall, well, that's over there."

As he spoke, Zhou Zhixin raised his finger to the wall diagonally opposite.There are photos of the store manager and employees, as well as the corresponding job numbers.

These billboards are very common.

Zhou Zhixin said: "At that time, Xiaoying had just left the store not long ago, and I hadn't had time to change her photo. Zhang Qiming saw it once and asked me who it was? I briefly told him that it was before. A girl who works in the store. Zhang Qiming was very interested and asked me to introduce him, and said that if it works, he will thank me very much.”

Hu Pingtao asked: "Please help him introduce a girlfriend."

"Yes." Zhou Zhixin nodded: "I think Zhang Qiming is not bad looking, so I agreed, and later asked Xiaoying out for dinner. Zhang Qiming asked for Xiaoying's mobile phone number, and the two added WeChat."

"I don't know the specific development of them later. First, it's not easy to ask, and second... I think Xiaoying doesn't like Zhang Qiming. If I ask too many questions, she will definitely not be happy."

Xing Le interjected, "Where is that Zhang Qiming now?"

"Still in the company." Zhou Zhixin replied, "He drives here every morning to deliver the goods."

Hu Pingtao asked: "You said before that when you saw the pajama photos on our mobile phone, you thought it might be Chu Ruoying's. It means you think there is something wrong with it?"

Zhou Zhixin hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "If it is really Xiaoying's clothes, either the clothes were stolen, or it was Xiaoying... I think nothing will happen to Xiaoying! After all, I am still on the phone. Chatting with her on the Internet, I guess the clothes should be stolen."

Someone stole Chu Ruoying's clothes?

Hu Pingtao frowned subconsciously.

In fact, even he himself did not expect to learn new clues from Zhou Zhixin.

First of all, the pajamas worn by the deceased had a breakthrough.Through the little white flower at the link between the shoulder strap and the skirt, it can be confirmed that the owner of the clothes is Chu Ruoying.

Secondly, Chu Ruoying is very familiar with the staff in this store.She used to work here, and she has a very good relationship with the store manager Zhou Zhixin, and they are best friends.

Finally, Zhou Zhixin had Chu Ruoying's contact information.

Yet unsolved mysteries remain, if not more than before.

First of all, the biggest problem is to determine whether the identity of the deceased is Chu Ruoying.

Identifying the clothes does not mean identifying the dead.

This brought me back to Zhou Zhixin's thought just now—could it be that Chu Ruoying's pajamas were stolen, and for some reason, they were worn by the deceased.

Thinking of this, Hu Pingtao asked seriously: "Xiao Zhou, call Chu Ruoying now and ask her out."

Zhou Zhixin showed a hesitant expression again: "This..."

Xing Le looked at it and felt very strange: "Why, can't you even make a phone call? Do you have any trouble with Chu Ruoying?"

"No, that's not the case." Zhou Zhixin hastily explained: "I have a very good relationship with Xiaoying, and we have never quarreled. The reason why I... oh, I have been unable to get through to Xiaoying's phone, she...she won't answer what!"

Hu Pingtao asked strangely: "You mean, Chu Ruoying won't answer your calls?"

Zhou Zhixin nodded: "I don't know why, anyway, it's been like this for several days."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Don't worry, think about it carefully. When did it start? What day? What date?"

Zhou Zhixin recalled: "It should be last week...Tuesday...I remembered, it was Tuesday, NO.11. Xiaoying said before that she introduced her boyfriend, and it happened to be last Monday, which was the day on the [-]th. , A fellow villager came to me. He is the younger brother of one of my classmates. He is very nice. He passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to South Yunnan University. He graduated the year before last and was admitted to be a civil servant.

"Because I live very close to my classmate in my hometown, and it happened that her younger brother came home on weekends, so my dad asked him to bring me some things. This relationship must have come and gone, and he is willing to help. I I have to express how much, so I thought about treating him to a meal, and by the way, I called Xiaoying together to have a good chat. Regardless of whether it will be successful or not, let's make more friends."

"I called Xiaoying that day, and the call got through, but she didn't answer and hung up. I felt strange at the time, so I asked her what was going on on WeChat. Xiaoying replied, saying that she was surfing the Internet Class, come back to me after class is over."

"Wait, it's night."

"Xiaoying hasn't responded to the news, and I can't help it, because I have a meal appointment, and I can't keep people waiting! So my classmate's brother and I went to the restaurant first, ordered the food, and it was almost finished. , Around [-]:[-] p.m. or [-]:[-] p.m., Xiaoying sent me a message on WeChat, saying that she was busy with exams and couldn't get out."

"My classmate's younger brother is really not very good. I have always wanted to match him with Xiaoying. He sat opposite me during dinner, so I took a photo of him with my mobile phone and sent it to Xiaoying. I deliberately teased her on WeChat."

With that said, Zhou Zhixin clicked on the phone screen and found the conversation record at that time.

Hu Pingtao took it and looked at it seriously.

"See, I didn't lie to you! He is really a handsome guy. He graduated from a bachelor's degree and has just been admitted as a civil servant, and he is still a municipal unit!"

"It's really a shame that you didn't come to dinner today. Don't say I don't take care of you. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Or tell me a time another day, and I'll make an appointment for you."

"Why don't you talk all the time? Hurry up, we're all done eating, and I'm leaving."

Zhou Zhixin turned to Hu Pingtao and pointed to the WeChat conversation record on the phone screen: "Look here, the first message between me and Xiaoying, that is, when I sent her the photo, was at [-]:[-] Nine points."

"The second is eight twenty-seven."

"The third is eight thirty-three."

"The last one is eight forty-five."

"It's been almost half an hour now, and Xiaoying didn't answer me a word."

Hu Pingtao looked cold and serious, nodded his head slightly, and asked, "Has Chu Ruoying been slow to reply to messages?"

Zhou Zhixin shook his head and said: "Xiaoying has a lively personality, and she does things quickly. Usually I chat with her almost every second, and it was an appointment between us to introduce her boyfriend, so I think strangeness."

Hu Pingtao asked: "She didn't reply to the message that day?"

Zhou Zhixin said: "No. Later I felt a little annoyed, so I called her in front of my classmate's younger brother, but she still cut it off and didn't answer at all."

"It wasn't until almost eleven o'clock the next morning that Xiaoying replied a message saying that she was preparing for the accountant exam and was busy reviewing, so she wouldn't come out to play."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, then handed the phone to Zhou Zhixin: "Call Chu Ruoying now, and ask her to have dinner tonight. As for the content...you can say whatever you want."

Zhou Zhixin knew that the matter was important, so she did not refuse, picked up her mobile phone and dialed Chu Ruoying's number, and turned on the speakerphone.

As she said, the other party didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.

After a few seconds, there was a message on WeChat: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Zhixin handed the mobile phone to Hu Pingtao, looking a little at a loss: "She doesn't answer the phone, she hangs up when I call, and then just chats on WeChat, it's always been like this."

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "Then you tell her on WeChat that you have made an appointment for dinner tonight."

Zhou Zhixin nodded, entered the information and sent it.

Soon, Chu Ruoying replied: "I have class today and I'm not free."

Hu Pingtao said in a low voice beside him: "You tell her that your work performance is outstanding, and the company gave you a bonus. You ask her to have a good meal, and she can order the dishes."

After half a minute, Chu Ruoying replied: "I've already said I'm going to class, I don't have time!"

Hu Pingtao took Zhou Zhixin's mobile phone and typed: "No, why do I feel that you are busier than the country's top leaders?"

Chu Ruoying quickly replied: "To be a human being, you have to pursue, otherwise what is the difference between you and a salted fish?"

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes, thought carefully for a moment, and continued to type: "Okay! Okay! I am that salty fish waiting to die. It is indeed my honor to have a friend with ideals and ambitions like you. "

Chu Ruoying sent a smiley face without text.

Hu Pingtao continued: "Speaking of accountants, I know someone here. She is a professor at the School of Finance and Economics, and she often comes to the store to buy milk. Why don't you find time to come over and I'll introduce you."

Chu Ruoying sent an emoji with a question mark: "What does this have to do with me?"

Hu Pingtao typed: "Aren't you going to be an accountant? If you ask her to learn from her teacher, you will definitely pass the exam."

Chu Ruoying sent a circle representing "Oh": "Another day! I'm in class."

Hu Pingtao typed: "Then you can tell me which day it is? I can make an appointment with someone."

Chu Ruoying never replied.

Hu Pingtao waited for 5 minutes. He returned the phone to Zhou Zhixin, and asked Zhou Zhixin to open a WeChat call, the one with video.

Chu Ruoying hung up directly.

A few seconds later, she sent a message.

"I told you I was in class. Why are you like this?"

Zhou Zhixin replied according to Hu Pingtao's intention: "I found you a teacher. I really didn't lie to you. He has a very high level."

Chu Ruoying replied coldly: "No need."

Afterwards, Zhou Zhixin sent several messages in succession, but the other party did not reply.

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, and asked Zhou Zhixin: "Chu Ruoying used to chat with you on WeChat with this attitude?"

Zhou Zhixin shook his head: "Xiaoying did this recently."

Hu Pingtao had already read the relevant chat records, and Zhou Zhixin was indeed not talking nonsense.

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "Well, give me all the information about Chu Ruoying that you can find now. In addition, if Chu Ruoying calls or asks you on WeChat, try to divert the topic to other directions, don't talk about us. I came here today to investigate."

"Also, you ask her out if you can. If she says yes, you call me."

Hu Pingtao casually said his mobile phone number.

Zhou Zhixin quickly found several items related to Chu Ruoying, including a copy of the ID card she used to work in the store.

"In the rental room where I live, there are still two old clothes left by Xiaoying. Do you want them?" Zhou Zhixin asked.

Hu Pingtao suddenly felt his eyes light up, and quickly replied: "Yes! Of course!"

Zhou Zhixin said: "Then wait a moment, I'll go back and get it now."

……

Back in the bureau, Hu Pingtao handed Chu Ruoying's old clothes to Ding Jian and asked him to check them immediately.

Xing Le picked up the teacup, "Gududu" took a deep breath, put down the cup, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect such a big harvest today. Boss, you are still smart! Why did you think of going to the dairy to find clues?"
