Is it normal to live on the phone to help your boyfriend investigate the case?

Chapter 25

Qu Mingcong stopped the car when he heard the words, and asked, "Why do you want to go to a massage shop?"

"There is something I want to confirm." Qiao Yueying replied.

Qu Mingcong raised his eyebrows, looked at the street not far ahead, "Is it necessary to confirm at this time?"

"Massage shops usually stay open late, and they haven't closed yet." Qiao Yueying paused and said in a low voice, "I suspect that something happened to the masseuse 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: "Maybe nothing happened, but I have rehearsed it many times and the result of the deduction is not optimistic. In order to confirm his current situation, 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 unconsciously. After a moment of hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Qiao Yueying, this kind of thing can't be joked..."

"Are you kidding? You'll know once you go there?" Qiao Yueying was unusually calm.

Qu Mingcong thought for a while, and without saying anything, he rode his motorcycle straight to the massage shop.

Psychologically, he can't accept that there will be a murder case in the neighborhood he lives in, but his intuition tells him that something is really wrong.

When he arrived at the place, he parked his motorcycle on the side of the road, adjusted his emotions, and then rushed into the massage shop with a look of urgency——

"Is the boss here?! Who is the boss?!"

It was the old man from last time, who stared dumbfounded at Qu Mingcong rushing in, "You...what's the matter with you?"

"I lost something!" Qu Mingcong frowned, "Last time I came here for a massage, a keychain seems to have been left with you!"

The old man was stunned, and then a look of false alarm appeared on his face, "Oh, what am I supposed to do, so I came here to find the key."

The old man opened the drawer and took out a keychain from the drawer. On the keychain was an old key and a plush dice pendant.

"We have cleaning staff here every day, and the things left by customers will be put away properly, so we can't throw them away."

Qu Mingcong picked up the keychain, and frowned even tighter, "I should have a small gold gourd on this keychain, a solid gold ornament, it was given by the old man at home, you should check the surveillance immediately."

When the old man heard this, his eyes widened, "Gold, gold gourd?! That's how it looked when the cleaning staff picked up the keychain! No one saw a gold gourd!"

"Could it be that I ran over to blackmail you at night?" Qu Mingcong sneered, "I think the golden gourd was either taken away by the cleaning, or the masseuse that day stole it, that is, the one surnamed Xiao, otherwise my golden gourd would still be stolen." Can you grow wings and fly away? Don’t try to protect yourself, call someone out to confront him.”

The old man's face was very ugly, "Where can I go to confront someone at night?! Besides, Master Xiao is no longer working here! He resigned yesterday!"

"Resigned?!" Qu Mingcong felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, still showing an angry look, "I left the keychain here yesterday, and he resigned yesterday, and you still say he didn't do it? ! Isn’t this obviously stealing something and running away?! What is his phone number? Where does he live? If you don’t tell me, I will have to call the police, my golden gourd is worth tens of thousands!”

After some intimidation and deception, Qu Mingcong quickly got the other party's name, phone number and address.

After leaving the massage shop, Qiao Yueying praised him: "The acting skills have become more and more perfect."

But Qu Mingcong was not in the mood to joke at all at the moment, he was rushing to the other party's house while calling the other party.

The blind massage therapist surnamed Xiao, named Xiao Fan, was a local, his parents died, and he lived alone in an old residential area not far from here, on the first floor.

Qu Mingcong couldn't get through to his phone, so he rushed to his house and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Qu Mingcong walked around to the window to peek in. The room was pitch black. Unwilling, he picked up a branch from the side of the road, forced the window open through the anti-theft net, and then took a picture 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 meticulous living habits.

"You're not at home." Qu Mingcong frowned, glanced around, and threw 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 you are traveling far away, you will not be able to come back for a long time. , the slippers should be put into the shoe cabinet, not on the ground."

He thought for a while, and couldn't help feeling lucky, "The owner of the massage shop said that Xiao Fan called to resign at around [-]:[-] p.m. yesterday. ...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 silent after hearing this.

Qiao Yueying asked him: "Do you remember this morning, around 06:30, we saw Shao Jiaming driving back from the outside, don't you wonder where he came back from? Where was he last night? What did he do? From [-]:[-] in the morning to [-]:[-] noon, what happened during this period that caused him to come to the office suddenly to trouble you?"

Qu Mingcong looked serious, "But how did Shao Jiaming know..."

He obviously didn't tell Shao Jiaming the clues about his cheating. Could it be that Shao Jiaming hired other private detectives?Last night, Shao Jiaming and Xiao Fan were together?
Qiao Yueying said: "Shao Jiaming's behavior today is very weird. The swear words in his mouth are getting more and more ruthless, but he comes to you with his bare hands. When a person wants to trouble another person, and he knows that the other party's force value is not weak, shouldn't he Do you prepare weapons in advance to increase your chances of winning? Even with a bench leg, but he came empty-handed, as if...he came here on purpose to be beaten."

Speaking of this, her voice was slightly cold, "What is the reason why he has to be beaten willingly? I think, probably only when he wants to cover up the bruises on his body, he has to do this. So when the police came, he immediately took off his mask and hat to impress the police enough for everyone to think that the wound on his face was caused by you."

"Isn't he afraid of being self-defeating?" Qu Mingcong frowned, "If you want to cover up your wounds, you can fall on purpose, or find a random passerby to fight with. Why do you have to choose me?"

"Yes, it must be you." Qiao Yueying said, "One, because you have not given the investigation results for a long time, Shao Jiaming misunderstood that you are still under investigation. If you let you continue the investigation, you will find that Xiao Fan did not go to Wu Shao Jiaming will be very detrimental to the city, or to dig out other clues, and he can't directly ask you to stop 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 Ordinary people have conflicts with him, and there is a high probability that they will admit that they are cowardly. Even if they fight, they may not be able to hurt him, but you are different. You have stayed in the special police team. Wang Wei must have blown your force value to the sky. So Shao Jiaming chose you - this kills two birds with one stone, not only destroying the investigation order, but also finding a reasonable explanation for the injuries on his body."
