Detective Files II

Chapter 162 Looking for Zhou Gui
Although he didn't know what kind of temper Lu Xiangdong was throwing, Tian Mi didn't intend to ask. With his awkward personality, the more he chased after him to ask, the more likely he couldn't get the answer.

It is much easier to control one's curiosity than to formulate words from a mouth tighter than a clam shell.

After leaving the Vocational and Technical College, Tian Mi did not return to the Public Security Bureau, nor did she plan to leave work, although it was already past the end of get off work time.

She drove the car directly to Zhou Xiaoyue's home with one purpose, to check her QQ chat history through Zhou Xiaoyue's computer.

Although Liu Lin said that no one but herself knew Zhou Xiaoyue's password, Tian Mi didn't want to give up so easily. If she didn't try some things, who would know if there would be any surprises in the end!
It's a pity that God seems to have forgotten to take care of Tian Mi today, so she missed it.

Arriving at Zhou's house, this home that is no longer complete, is full of gloomy clouds.

When Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong entered the door, Zhou Bin was sitting in the living room with his head down and smoking a cigarette. The ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts. At this speed, he was not smoking, but poisoned with nicotine. way of suicide.

"Where's Xiaoyue's mother?" Tian Mi didn't see Li Qin, and couldn't help but think, this woman won't be obsessed with the Great Wall of Mahjong at this time, right?

Zhou Bin tilted his head towards the small arched door on one side of the living room: "I was lying in the room, crying several times, and then I cried and convulsed, I called an ambulance, the doctor just finished the sedative and left, now she Should be asleep."

After Tian Mi heard this, she also sighed, and for a moment she couldn't bear to ask straight to the point. After all, any question now is a repeated injury to the Zhou family couple.No matter how undesirable their previous behavior was, the pain of losing their daughter and the deep self-blame in their hearts are enough for these two middle-aged people.

The three of them were silent for a while in the living room, and Zhou Bin spoke first: "Officer Tian, ​​what's the matter with you? Is there anything we can do for you? If so, just ask! I will definitely cooperate! My father doesn't Fulfilling the responsibility of educating children, Xiaoyue has died so wronged, I can't let her die in an unclear way."

Since he said that, Tian Mi certainly wasn't polite to him: "We want to take a look at Zhou Xiaoyue's computer."

Zhou Bin took a few steps towards the small arch, then turned to them and said, "Come on, I'll take you to Xiaoyue's room."

Zhou Bin's house is very large, estimated to be more than 200 square meters. Zhou Xiaoyue's room is also very spacious. There is a platform on one side of the room, and a round bed is placed on it. The lace curtain looks very romantic for a little girl.

On the other side of the room are bookshelves and desks, filled with various small sundries, books and magazines.

It can be seen that Zhou Xiaoyue's life is very good.

Zhou Bin seemed to read Tian Mi's feelings from the way Tian Mi looked at the room, and sighed a little sadly: "When we were decorating, we found the most famous design company in City C and asked the famous designer to design for her. We hope to give her the best in this room. Now that I think about it, we are so stupid. We gave Xiaoyue more than enough material enjoyment, but ignored her spiritual growth. Just dumbfounded."

"It's useless to say these things now, you should mourn!" Tian Mi comforted Zhou Bin, and walked to the desk, where there was a snow-white laptop.

"Zhou Xiaoyue usually uses this to surf the Internet at home, right?" She pointed to the expensive laptop on the table.

Zhou Bin nodded: "Both of us don't spend much time at home, almost only Xiaoyue uses the computer, if you want to check it, please feel free."

Tian Mi got permission, gently lifted the monitor, then looked at the notebook in front of her, sighed, and stood up from the chair again.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiangdong could tell from her reaction, it was obvious that things had exceeded their previous expectations.

Tian Mi picked up the computer from the table and handed it to Lu Xiangdong. Lu Xiangdong took it and saw that the computer keyboard, which should have been uniform and white, was covered with light brown marks, and when touched lightly with his hand, it was still a little sticky.

"It's Coke." He came to a conclusion immediately.

Tian Mi also thought so. From the state of the splash of Coke, it can be speculated that it should be not long before Zhou Xiaoyue was killed, maybe in the morning of that day, or maybe a little earlier, she spilled Coke on the computer, causing a sudden short circuit of the computer. , burned out.

Now, it may take some time to get to know Zhou Xiaoyue's mysterious netizen.

"Mr. Zhou, Zhou Xiaoyue's computer was burned out. Can we take it back to the Public Security Bureau and obtain the information stored in it by other means?"

Zhou Bin immediately agreed to Tian Mi's request: "Please do as you please! As long as it can help solve the case!"

Originally, I was expecting the computer to come, but it turned out to be tantamount to rushing for nothing. Tian Mi, a computer idiot, had no idea whether she could still find out the information she wanted to check on this burned-out computer, so she could only send I hope for the technicians in the bureau.

Before leaving Zhou's house, she wanted Zhou Bin to ask about Zhao Guangchao. Zhou Bin's answer was exactly the same as when he was at the Public Security Bureau during the day, saying that he only met Zhao Guangchao once in a hurry. I don't know anything else.

However, Zhou Bin did not hide his dislike for Zhao Guangchao. According to his words: "That little rascal wants to be with my daughter, it's like a toad wants to eat swan meat! If my daughter has such a miserable experience today, he wants to Take some responsibility!"

After leaving Zhou's house, it was getting late, because after leaving the Vocational Technical College, they went to the Internet cafe and billiard hall that Zhao Guangchao mentioned to verify, and got a positive answer.

Tian Mi drove the car back to the Public Security Bureau, and hurriedly wanted to send the computer to a professional for inspection, only to find that they had already left work.

"Is there a mistake?! I left so early!" Tian Mi angrily stomped her feet in front of the tight door.

Lu Xiangdong chuckled behind her back: "I'm afraid you were the one who made the mistake. It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, and it's strange if you don't go home. Put the computer back in your office quickly, or I'll leave first and you won't have a ride."

Tian Mi glanced at him, and replied angrily, "Is it great to have a car? Isn't it great to have a ride? If I don't take your ride, I wouldn't even have to take the bus?"

"Whatever you want, then I'll go. If you want to be a bus, I won't force you." Tian Mi was just saying something out of anger, but Lu Xiangdong took it seriously, leaving her alone in the empty corridor.

Angrily, Tian Mi sent the computer back to the serious crime team office to put it away. After checking the time, she would really miss the last bus if she didn't leave. Then she ran downstairs in a hurry. As soon as she rushed out of the building, she saw Lu Xiangdong's The car is in front of the door.

"Get in the car." He lowered the window and said to Tian Mi.

Tian Mi didn't argue with him, fearing that if he really kicked the gas pedal and left in the dust, she might not catch the last train, and would have to go through a lot of twists and turns if she wanted to go home.

A good man does not suffer from immediate losses, and so does a good woman.

What's more, she still has questions that she wants to discuss with Lu Xiangdong.

"When we went to the Internet cafe just now, the network management can indeed prove that Zhao Guangchao went to rent a room last night, but it can't prove that he never left during that time, so Zhao Guangchao's alibi cannot be fully established, nor can it be completely cleared up. To get rid of our own suspicions, but we also have no way to prove that he committed the crime."

Tian Mi couldn't wait to speak before sitting on the hot chair, "Although Hou Qiang lied about the time of his departure and kept secret when he talked about Zhou Xiaoyue, when his car appeared at the intersection, It also conflicted with the time of calling Zhou Xiaoyue from the public phone near Xuezi Road. There was also a personal grievance with Zhou Bin, and Zhou Gui, who had spoken harshly, has not been found yet. I always feel that the day after the incident, we found A lot of clues have been found, but they are all circling around the same place.”

"Since everyone has questions, let's ask them one by one." Lu Xiangdong answered calmly.

Tian Mi pouted: "It's easy to say, everyone has doubts, and there is a virtual 'husband' who has a very unusual relationship with Zhou Xiaoyue on the Internet and can't be dug out from the burned-out laptop. Ask and ask clearly. !So many directions, where do I start?"

"Start with whomever is convenient."

"If you say it, you don't say it. Don't you think who among these people is more suspicious?"

"No."

Tian Mi was so angry at his answer that she simply turned her face away and stopped talking to him.

After a few minutes, Lu Xiangdong peeked at Tian Mi's angry profile from the rearview mirror, and said to her, "Let's start with Zhou Gui."

After a day of running around, Tian Mi was already very tired. After she fell silent just now, her brain gradually became dull and sleepy. When Lu Xiangdong said such a sentence suddenly, she was stunned for 30 seconds before finally realizing what he was talking about. .

"Zhou Gui? Do you think he is the most suspicious?" She immediately regained her spirits.

"That's not true, I just think it's time for him to show up." Lu Xiangdong replied.

"Do you think it's time for him to go back to school? Then we will go to the 21st Century Middle School to find him tomorrow?"

"It's not the school. I'm afraid he should be waiting for us in the hospital or the police station."

Lu Xiangdong's answer made Tian Mi completely confused, and had no way of knowing how his conclusion came out.

"Why?" She felt extremely curious.

"Zhou Gui is a distant relative of the vice-principal. The staff also said before that he comes to work normally, and no one is ashamed to talk about him when he is off duty during work. Then why did he suddenly have no news this time, and no one showed up? Everyone can't find him?" Lu Xiangdong didn't answer directly, but asked Tian Mi a question.

Tian Mi suddenly realized: "You mean, he might be in trouble?"

"Let's wait and see."

"Okay, would you like to make a bet?" Tian Mi became interested.

Lu Xiangdong glanced at her: "OK."

"What's the bet?"

"I didn't think about it," Lu Xiangdong turned the car into the community where Tian Mi's family lived, "I owe you the bet first, and we'll talk about it later."

"Sign a bad check, Lu Xiangdong, you are so brave!" Tian Mi said as she jumped out of the car and waved her hand at Lu Xiangdong, "Thank you for the ride, see you tomorrow!"
