Detective Files II

Chapter 172 Witnesses

"Does Li Yun have a habit of putting on makeup?" Tian Mi recalled the detail that she didn't find any cosmetics in Li Yun's car.

"No!" Liu Jing replied very firmly, "We drive a taxi and stay in the car all day. Who will we show our makeup to? Li Yun never wears makeup. I'm sure of that!"

After thanking Liu Jing for her cooperation and telling her to pay attention to safety when getting out of the car, Tian Mi talked with the other seven people one by one, but did not get any more clues.It may be due to gender differences. Among the other seven people, there is a master who took Li Yun at the beginning, and they also have a little more drivers in the same team, but their understanding of Li Yun is far less detailed than that of Liu Jing.

Basically, the things they can say are similar, but Li Yun's personality is more introverted, especially for people he doesn't know or don't like, and Li Yun has a straight temper, and he often doesn't care about what he says. Offending passengers, I often received complaints in the first two months of driving, and it has improved a lot in the recent period.

As for Li Yun's ex-boyfriend, these drivers only saw him come to the company to tangle with him before, and two of them also helped Li Yun on the spot. I don't know anything about it.

A more valuable clue is that a master driver was a night shift driver. At about 10:30 in the evening, he saw Li Yun’s taxi heading west of the city, because the street lights on the road where the two cars met were dim, and Driving towards each other, the driver could only vaguely remember that when the two vehicles crossed, he saw a short-haired driver driving.

It's a pity that he thought that Li Yun had already handed over the car and replaced it with the male driver on the night shift, so he didn't doubt it much, let alone pay more attention to it. His discovery could have been an important clue, but in the end he missed it.

I thought that after chatting with these eight people, there would be nothing else to gain, but unexpectedly, when Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong were about to leave the duty room, a driver who seemed to be in his 40s tapped door, poke your head in from the outside.

"Comrade policeman, can I come in? I have something to do, I think I should tell you!" He smiled at Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong cautiously.

Tian Mi hurriedly beckoned him to come in and sit down.

The middle-aged driver was a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head a few times, and said, "I just thought it was unfounded, and I didn't want to cause trouble for myself, so I left, but the more I was driving on the road, the more I thought about it. The more awkward, I also have a daughter in my family, who is also 17 this year, not much younger than Li Yun, I am afraid that if what I see helps you solve the case, but I don’t say it, then I will spend the rest of my life on my conscience It is estimated that they will not be able to pass this hurdle!"

"It's okay, don't worry about it, we won't disclose the source of the news." Tian Mi was afraid that the other party might have concerns.

When the middle-aged driver heard it, he quickly waved his hand: "It's okay! Since I decided to come back to you, I don't have to worry about people knowing that I said it. I'm not talking nonsense anyway! Besides——"

He gestured towards the door of the duty room: "There are those two little girls who watched me walk in with four eyes. No matter how much you help me hide it later, you can't hide it! It's okay!"

It can be seen that this driver has a straightforward personality. Seeing that he has no worries, Tian Mi is also relieved, opened the notepad, and signaled to him that he can talk.

The middle-aged driver said: "Last night, I actually met Li Yun once after nine o'clock!"

"Where is it?" Tian Mi asked.

"It's in the direction of Dongtouer, Jiangkou District, about halfway, anyway, it's almost to the outskirts of the city." The middle-aged driver recalled, "I heard Li Yun say on the radio that her car turned off after parking on the side of the road. , I couldn’t make a call, so I asked if there was anyone nearby who could answer the call. I was sending someone to Jiangkou District, and I was walking back after finishing the work. I thought of helping her by the way. You know, she A little girl with little experience, I'm also afraid that something will happen to her if the engine is turned off at night in a place where there is no village or shop behind."

"What happened later?" Tian Mi knew from her tone that the one who finally solved the problem for Li Yun must not be the driver in front of her. The key is who that person is.

The middle-aged driver said: "Later, when I drove to the location she mentioned on the radio, I saw that someone was already helping her to connect the phone, and he was also the driver of our company. I stopped in the opposite direction to them and called out. With a loud voice, I asked them how they were doing, and if they needed me to help them, they said no, and I left."

Tian Mi thought that he would continue to say something, but after saying this, the middle-aged driver stopped and didn't intend to continue, which made Tian Mi a little puzzled.

"What do you mean by telling us this...?" she asked enlighteningly.

"Oh, look at my brain! After talking for a long time, I forgot the main point!" The middle-aged driver slapped his forehead, "I said that the driver I saw helping Li Yun was named He Xiushan, and he was driving here. It's been two or three years. He has always been interested in Li Yun!"

"How do you know about this kind of emotional affair?"

"It's not just me, the whole company knows about it. Some things don't have to be passed on to ten or ten to one hundred!" The middle-aged driver said indifferently. After he finished speaking, he felt that he was too gossip, and he was a little embarrassed. , quickly changed the topic, "That He Xiushan, how should I put it, he is a bit cocky and stubborn, driving from Li Yun to our place, anyone with long eyes can tell that he treats Li Yun Interesting, but at that time Li Yun had a boyfriend, including a few other young men who were interested in Li Yun, no one dared to say anything. Later, Li Yun and her boyfriend flirted, and these boys dared to show their affection, but Li Yun Yun is cold to everyone, and others feel that they are making fun of themselves, so forget it, only He Xiushan has never given up on Li Yun."

"Then, what is Li Yun's attitude towards this He Xiushan?"

"Anyway, she doesn't have a good attitude. The girl Li Yun is quite stubborn, and no one can stand up to the vicious one! I remember that once He Xiushan bought her a lunch. Li Yun didn't eat it, but He Xiushan wanted to give it to her. , and ended up throwing her in the trash can in front of everyone."

"Then what is He Xiushan's reaction?" Lu Xiangdong seemed very interested in He Xiushan.

The middle-aged driver curled his lips and said, "Why don't I say he's a stickler? At that time, everyone looked at him, and he also blushed, but afterwards, it was as if nothing had happened, and he was fine. Cloud is courteous."

"Didn't you show any displeasure?" Hearing this, Tian Mi felt that He Xiushan's behavior was too good-tempered. They all said that a man can have no status or money, but what he fears the most is hurting his self-esteem. Losing face, Li Yun embarrassed him in front of everyone, but He Xiushan acted so calmly. Either this man liked Li Yun to the bone, or he was too good at hiding his emotions.

"Really not, otherwise, why would I feel uneasy and ran back halfway to report this matter to you!" The middle-aged man sighed, "Last night, I actually thought that Li Yun wanted me to help her. But He Xiushan said that I don't need to turn around, saying that anyway, he and Li Yun were on the same road, and I saw that there were passengers in Li Yun's car across the road, and I was afraid that the passengers would complain that we were not efficient or something, so I left I'm worried, if it's that kid He Xiushan...wouldn't I be dying!"

"There is no evidence to prove this for the time being, so don't think too much." Tian Mi didn't want the middle-aged driver to make wild guesses and bring bad influence to irrelevant people, so she asked by the way, "Then have you seen Li? What do the passengers in the cloud car look like?"

The middle-aged driver shook his head: "I didn't see it! Across the road, in the dark at night, I could see someone sitting in the car, not to mention the appearance, even if it was male or female. I can't see either."

After speaking, he stood up, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong: "Comrade policeman, that's all I know. I got out of the car right away!"

Tian Mi thought for a while, then nodded to him: "Thank you, then we won't waste your time, and we will contact you in time if there is any situation!"

The enthusiastic middle-aged driver got the permission and left the duty room in a hurry. Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong also walked out of the duty room and went back to the office outside. It may be because there are more taxis on the street in the morning. Now that the rush hour for work and school has passed, the two day shift dispatchers sat idly at their desks. When they saw Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong coming out, they looked at them both curiously and uneasy.

"Excuse me, is Master He Xiushan in your company on the day shift or the night shift?" Tian Mi asked.

A dispatcher hurriedly opened the registration form at hand, checked the list for a long time, looked up and said to Tian Mi: "It's the day shift."

"Can you give me his contact information?"

The dispatcher looked at the registration form again, and said to Tian Mi in embarrassment: "It's okay to give it to you, but if you want to find him, I'm afraid you will have to talk about it in the afternoon. He made a long trip today to send someone to City Y, okay?" I booked it a few days ago, and his car was not scheduled to run the night shift last night, and it probably left early this morning, so it will be evening when we get back!"

"Is that so." Tian Mi thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'm interrupting your work, let's come back in the afternoon."

After leaving the taxi company, Tian Mi dialed her home phone according to the contact information of Li Yun's parents obtained from the dispatcher. After explaining the situation, she hoped that her parents could come to the Public Security Bureau.

Li Yun's parents had already realized that the situation was not good when they heard Tian Mi's self-reported family name, and they immediately agreed to the request to come to the Public Security Bureau without any hesitation. The closest one in the city, it will still take a while.

"Then what are your plans now?" There were two or three hours before Li Yun's parents arrived, Lu Xiangdong got into the car and asked Tian Mi's opinion.

"Go to 21st Century Middle School!" Tian Mi replied cheerfully, "I still remember why Hou Qiang lied!"
