Detective Files II

Chapter 207
Through subsequent inquiries, Tian Mi finally figured out the so-called conflict between Zhai Zhiyou and Wei Limin. Zhai Zhiyou felt very painful and ashamed that Li Yao was still unforgettable after the divorce, and that he still loved the woman who betrayed him and gave him a cuckold, but he was also a very restrained person. This conflicting feeling has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and there is no way to talk about it.

Every time he sees Wei Limin, he will involuntarily think of Li Yao, and when he thinks of Li Yao, the shame and self-blame will surge out, tormenting him, so the existence of Wei Limin is like a reminder, a kind of stimulation , and finally let him find some trivial reasons one day, and sent a wicked fire at this girl who had no relationship at all, and in order to avoid the two people meeting in the future, Zhai Zhiyou went to the director of the garden to file a complaint, which caused Wei Limin Was transferred from the original class.

Coincidentally, Wei Limin is also a character with clear love and hate. She is also very resistant to Zhai Zhiyou's unreasonable rejection and disgust, and reacts fiercely. Therefore, in the eyes of others, it seems that these two people have some kind of hatred or excess. Knot, unable to reconcile.

Zhai Zhiyou's fascination with ghosts for a while, coupled with matters involving the life and death of his ex-wife Li Yao, made him careless and confused, completely lost his senses, and ran to the The Public Security Bureau surrendered, and Tian Mi couldn't laugh or cry at the result.

Thanks to Lu Xiangdong who reminded himself in advance, otherwise, with the anticipation in his heart on the way back just now, Zhai Zhiyou's big oolong might disappoint him.

Even so, Tian Mi carefully checked Zhai Zhiyou's whereabouts during Wei Limin's murder, including when the first two murders occurred. Her words were unfounded, and she had to go through careful investigation and verification to dispel her suspicions about him.

After dismissing Zhai Zhiyou, Tian Mi didn't care that it was already past the off-duty time. In fact, since she took up this position, there were not many times when she was able to get off work on time. For things like overtime work and late-night trains, she had already Get used to it.

Zhai Zhiyou's whereabouts have been sorted out, so there is another person who needs to check his whereabouts. This person is the bar regular who pestered Wei Limin in the White Crow that night - Qiangzi.

Tian Mi asked about Qiangzi's contact information from Luo Jing. For this person, Luo Jing was very relieved, saying that it would not be him, and said that Qiangzi was an honest person. As for the reason, Luo Jing He hesitated and hesitated, and didn't say why. It seemed that it wasn't that he couldn't explain clearly, but that it was hard to say.

But whether this Qiangzi is an honest person or not, Tian Mi can't take Luo Jing's words as a guarantee.

The mobile phone number Luo Jing gave was valid, and Tian Mi quickly contacted Qiangzi. The other party said that he was free now, but he refused to come to the police station for investigation, and hoped that Tian Mi and the others would accommodate.

It’s not easy to force this kind of thing. Firstly, it’s just a suspicion that there is no evidence, so you can’t treat people as suspects. Second, it’s not good to make the other party feel resistant before starting a dialogue. This will only add trouble to the investigation.

So Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong immediately set off and went to the restaurant where Qiangzi was to meet him.

According to the clothes Qiangzi described on the phone, after arriving at the restaurant, Tian Mi quickly found him. Interestingly, it was very consistent with what Dajun said. —At this moment, he was sitting at a small table in the corner of this softly lit, vaguely quiet restaurant.

Tian Mi didn't wear a police uniform, and she was relatively petite. After walking to Qiangzi's table and sitting down, Qiangzi was stunned for a few seconds before realizing the identity of the other party.

"Are you the policewoman who spoke to me just now?" He asked for confirmation.

Tian Mi nodded: "It's me, Qiangzi, right?"

Qiangzi nodded, looked towards Lu Xiangdong, looked up and down without any trace, and then turned his gaze back to Tian Mi.

At the same time, Tian Mi was also observing Qiang Zi in front of her.This is a young man in his 20s, with fair skin and delicate facial features. He looks a bit shy and bookish, and he is a quiet person.

Such a person would like to go to bars?Tian Mi couldn't help but have a question in her heart.

"Have you been to the White Crow Bar on the night of the 19th?" She asked Qiang Zi straight to the point.

Qiangzi didn't answer right away, but after a little recollection, he said, "I've been."

"Do you know Wei Limin?" Tian Mi said, taking out Wei Limin's photo from her bag and putting it on the table.

Qiangzi only glanced at it, then stretched out his hand and pushed the photo back in front of Tian Mi: "It's not considered acquaintance, but I know this person, I have met."

His actions made Lu Xiangdong on the side suddenly smile without warning, Qiangzi looked at him cautiously, and shrank his hands on the table towards his body.

Tian Mi also glanced at Lu Xiangdong, didn't ask any further questions, put away Wei Limin's photo, and asked again: "You and Wei Limin had an entanglement at the White Crow on the night of the 19th, right?"

There were two touches of rosiness on Qiangzi's fair cheeks, his head was lowered a little, and he didn't speak.

"As far as we know, you pestered Wei Limin for a long time that night. In the end, because she couldn't bear to be harassed, you asked the shop assistant to come forward to solve it. Is this the case?" Tian Mi ignored his evasive movements and continued to ask without hesitation.

Qiangzi was helplessly questioned, so he nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing. Later, the foreman there asked me to leave, so I left. I didn't harass her."

"Why did you pester Wei Limin that night?"

"I..." Qiangzi held back his words, and after deliberating for a long time, he said, "Anyway, I wanted to talk to her that night, but my intention was definitely not what you thought it was."

"What do you think I look like?" Tian Mi asked back.

"You must think that I like her?" Qiangzi smiled bitterly, "If so, then I can tell you very responsibly that I am not interested in Wei Limin, really. I admit that I don't have much kindness towards her, but it's the same You can swear to God, I have no malice towards her!"

What he said was full of twists and turns, and Tian Mi seemed to understand a little bit, confused.

"Where did you go after you were 'asked to go' by the bar clerk that day?" She had to change the question.

"I went to another bar, and my friends there can prove it for me." Qiangzi pushed aside the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, stood up and said to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong, "I read the newspaper, I know about Wei Limin's murder, and I also know about it." A little bit of unhappiness between Wei Limin and me that day will definitely get me involved, if you don't mind being bothered, go to that bar with me! There are some things that I can't say, I'd rather let you find out by yourself. "

He spoke in a mysterious manner, and Tian Mi couldn't help but refuse, so Tian Mi also nodded to him: "Okay, let's go, our car is outside."

Qiangzi quickly settled the meal payment with the waiter, followed Tian Mi and the others into the car, and guided them all the way to a bar named Old Tom.

From the outside, the environment and level of the place is a notch lower than that of the White Crow. The light inside is dark blue, there are not many people, there is no dance floor, and slow-tempo lyrical music is playing in the bar.

Seeing Qiangzi go in, the clerk at the bar greeted him warmly, and seemed to know him very well, and then the clerk also warmly greeted Lu Xiangdong, but when he saw Tian Mi, his eyes were a little weird.

"These two are policemen from the Public Security Bureau, here to investigate the case." Qiangzi said to the clerk behind the bar.

At this point, the clerk's attitude was a little too relaxed, he nodded and smiled at Tian Mi, and introduced himself as the owner of the store.

Tian Mi asked about Qiangzi's whereabouts that day as usual, and the bar owner told the approximate time when Qiangzi arrived at Old Tom and left that day after a little recollection.

"You have a good memory! A few days later, you still remember it!" Tian Mi pointed out.

The bar owner didn't really mind, he shrugged and smiled: "If you don't believe me, I can adjust the surveillance video for you! Oh, I forgot to say, our bar is different from other bars... so I have encountered troublemakers before. For the sake of safety, we specially installed a camera."

As he spoke, he pointed towards the ceiling, Tian Mi took advantage of the situation to look over, and with the dim blue light, he really saw the surveillance camera.

"Furthermore, I know about Qiangzi. He had a showdown with others that day, and he was kicked out. He was in a bad mood. He came to my place, and some friends who are familiar with him comforted him for a long time!" The owner of the bar Continued, "We all said that if that man's taste is so bad and he likes a woman who messes around outside, then it's even more unworthy of you to waste your feelings on him!"

The bar owner's words seemed to embarrass Qiang Zi. He tried to interrupt the other party's words several times, but he couldn't get in. After the boss finished speaking, he had no intention of opening his mouth and just sat down on the high bar stool. , muffled.

Tian Mi was late for a long time before she realized the meaning of the bar owner's words, and looked at Qiang Zi in surprise: "You... like Luo Jing?!"

After finishing speaking, she realized that her tone seemed to be offensive to Qiangzi and the bar owner, and quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, it's just..."

"It's okay, I can see that you are not the kind of person who looks at people with colored glasses. It's normal to be a little surprised at first." The bar owner didn't know whether he was well-informed or understanding, but he didn't care much.

Qiangzi sighed and nodded to Tian Mi: "That's right, I like men. That's why I said that I have no kindness towards Wei Limin, but I don't have any malice either. I just don't think she is worthy of Luo Jing. If she doesn't like Luo Jing’s words, let him give up, don’t let him have hope, it’s unfair. She ignored me, scolded me a few words, and then sued the foreman. The foreman came to ask me to go, and I left. I know that even if Luo Jing knew about this, he would not be grateful to me, let alone stand by my side."

After finishing speaking, he slumped his shoulders in frustration and sighed heavily.

Tian Mi finally understood why Luo Jing hesitated to speak to Qiang Zi.
