Chapter 26 Investigating the Funder
[Today's first update, there will be an additional update with a hundred collections in the evening, don't miss it! 】

Going to Qiao Qiong's house to "be a thief" made Tian Mi very tired. Not only did she come home very late, but also because Fu Qiang was killed halfway, she was full of questions to think about.

Is Fu Qiang telling the truth?Does he need to speak?He regards Qiao Qiong as an imaginary goddess, so, will he be psychologically paranoid and attack Qiao Qiong for some reason?Or, if he is not the murderer, then who is the man he saw?Could it be Qiao Qiong's mysterious lover?Since Fu Qiang could see it from the building opposite, could other neighbors also see something?But why didn't my colleagues get any similar information when I took the notes that day?
There are a lot of questions, but the answers are hard to find. Tian Mi tosses and turns on the bed, unable to fall asleep. For a moment, she even asks herself suddenly, is she a material for a criminal police officer?When you encounter doubts, your brain will be so excited that you can't stop thinking. If this continues, will you be prematurely decrepit and become a little old woman before you solve a few cases?
No matter what!Thinking of that criminal who didn't know his face was chuckling somewhere at the moment, perhaps still laughing at everyone's ignorance and doubts about the stupidity of the police, Tian Mi felt a fire burning in her chest, even if she turned into a little old woman early, it doesn't matter, Anyway, let her wear a police uniform but not be able to personally find out the real culprit and catch the criminal, it is more torture than torture.

I don't know how long it took to toss and turn before she fell asleep when the sky was faintly brightening. It seemed that she had just closed her eyes when the alarm clock rang impatiently.

Tian Mi got up with a pair of thick dark circles under her eyes, washed her face, brushed her teeth and changed her clothes with half-closed eyes, grabbed a bun from the dinner table, bit into her mouth, and went out.

Today, she has two tasks to complete, one is to confirm the authenticity of what Fu Qiang said, and the other is to investigate the expensive and rare heart-shaped diamond ring.

The insomnia last night made her think a lot. On the one hand, she can start with the seller, and on the other hand, she can also focus on those stores that recycle second-hand jewelry. Heart-shaped diamonds are very rare. If the murderer took the ring and resold it, or if the murderer discarded the diamond ring and was resold by someone who found it, then such a ring would certainly lead to a takeover attention.

Even if the murderer cannot be found directly from this clue, at least there will be a clear direction, such as where the ring was discarded.

If you want to complete the first task, you must return to Qiao Qiong's house to learn about the situation from the neighbors.

I inquired in the community where Qiao Qiong's family lived, but found nothing, except for Fu Qiang's alibi.

Fu Qiang's roommate confirmed that he stayed at home that day, and during the time when Qiao Qiong was likely to be killed, Fu Qiang also called to order takeaway. The waiter at a nearby restaurant confirmed that he delivered food to Fu at around 02:30 noon. Qiang, come to pick up the cutlery at 03:30.

Originally, Tian Mi didn't give up, thinking that if Fu Qiang could see someone entering and leaving Qiao Qiong's house from the opposite building, then other people should have seen it too, especially the neighbors of Qiao Qiong's house.

But this is not the case. All the people living upstairs and downstairs are office workers. Just like what we learned on the day of the incident, everyone was busy with work. During the time when Qiao Qiong was killed, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs were empty. one person.

The only possibility is the neighbor who didn't answer the door that day. However, there lived in that family an old couple. Cataracts, visual impairment, and hearing impairment due to the age of the elderly couple. On the night of the crime, the two were picked up by their children for dinner. During the day, the old couple did not notice the strangeness of their neighbors.

When it was almost noon, Tian Mi finished her morning investigation and walked out of Qiao Qiong's unit in a depressed mood.

"What? Frustrated?"

Tian Mi turned her head and found that Lu Xiangdong was sitting beside a small stone table, maybe because of something on her mind, she just walked past him without noticing.

"Why are you here?" Tian Mi was surprised. She was going to leave him and act alone today, but this guy really lingered, which made her wonder a question: "Tell me, who is the traitor? Who told him?" You and I are here?"

"nobody."

"Then how did you find it here?"

"Use this." Lu Xiangdong stretched out his slender index finger and compared it to his temple, looking a little unpredictable.

Tian Mi looked at him dubiously, and decided not to waste time on this meaningless question.

"I'm going to the city center to find out about the diamond ring, do you want to go with me?" Now that he had found her whereabouts, Tian Mi couldn't get rid of him on purpose, so she had to ask unwillingly.

Lu Xiangdong shook his head: "No, I have another thing to do, and you have to come with me."

"what's up?"

"have lunch."

After a simple lunch, Tian Mi was very surprised. She never thought that Lu Xiangdong would be a gentleman, let alone considerate. He always looked like he was too lazy to take care of himself. Who would expect him to take care of others? .However, which muscle did he hit wrong today?

"Why did you pull me to eat?" Tian Mi still couldn't help asking ignorantly after finishing the meal.

Lu Xiangdong raised two fingers: "One, I'm hungry. Two, I'm entrusted by someone."

"Who?"

"Nothing to do with you."

Tian Mi is angry.

Reported the investigation of the second-hand jewelry market to Cheng Feng, and Cheng Feng agreed to hand over this task to other people in the group. After lunch, Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong began to investigate the diamond ring.

Things were easier than Tian Mi imagined, but also more complicated than she imagined.

The simplicity lies in the high value of the heart-shaped diamond ring, which makes it a rare commodity. As far as I know, in the province, only City C has a large counter willing to accept customization, and there is no authorization for this diamond ring in other places.

The difficulty is that, also because of the high price, the relevant person in charge of the mall at first refused to give Tian Mi a custom list of customers for this diamond ring. It was not until Tian Mi made it clear that the seriousness of the matter was related to human life, and then reluctantly agreed. .

After getting the list, Tian Mi learned that after this diamond ring was released, a total of 5 pieces were sold in City C.

Therefore, Tian Mi spent a few days to eliminate the attention that the purchase time and purchase object did not match. In the end, there was only one buyer left in her sight.

This person is called Huang Meng.
