Detective Files II

Chapter 315 Client

After weighing things up, Tian Mi still decided to put the overall situation first, and together with Lu Xiangdong, they drove to the funeral parlor and found the wife of the driver, Mr. Zhang.

Before meeting Master Zhang's wife, Tian Mi had already made enough psychological preparations to face stronger resistance and even attacks than Han Jiaai's family members. However, the result of the matter was far more optimistic than Tian Mi expected, even She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself for "judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart".

Master Zhang's wife, Li Bo, the dispatcher of the passenger station, seemed to have aged several years overnight. From the red and swollen eye sockets and the dull eyes, Tian Mi can almost imagine how many times she has been heartbroken since her husband died. Lung cry.

After explaining the reason for her visit, Li Bo tried her best to keep herself calm, but when she was talking, her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her nails were sunk into her palms, almost bleeding, and her teeth were still holding back while talking. She couldn't stop trembling, and almost bit her tongue a few times, which made it clear that if she didn't, she might collapse.

"Or, let's go back and wait a few days until you... We'll contact you when you feel better!" Tian Mi couldn't bear to see her like this. Li Bo's current situation is the same for anyone. Will understand and sympathize.

But Li Bo shook his head at her: "No need. What I need most now is not your sympathy, but what I need most is for you to find out that beast as soon as possible! How many people are like me now because of this beast! Arresting him is the greatest sympathy for me and those who have lost their relatives!"

"Then can you recall about the situation of the checked items in the car bound for E City? You know about this matter, right?" Seeing her insistence, Tian Mi could only let go of her worries and continue to ask.

Li Bo didn't hide it, nodded, took a deep breath, rolled his eyes upwards, trying to prevent the tears from overflowing his eyes: "I know about this, as long as it is not the time of peak passenger traffic, Lao Zhang and the others will I often help to carry some small things between city C and city E, anyway, the luggage compartment is empty anyway, so that he and the driver can earn some extra money."

"Is there any in the car this time?" Although Han Jiaai swore that he had seen it before, Tian Mi still only half believed what the little gangster said.

Li Bo quickly confirmed what Han Jiaai said: "Yes, before the departure, I heard Lao Zhang mention that there are three consignments in total, and I know one of them, and I helped bring it over. It’s a cousin of Lao Zhang, and he asked him to help bring two sets of bamboo mats to the elderly of her natal family in E City.”

"Did the things go through the security check?" Tian Mi was more concerned about this key issue.

"It has passed the security check, and I put the bamboo mat into the bag under my watch, so there will be absolutely no problem." Li Bo was very sure of this point.

"What about the other two?"

"The other two items didn't go through my hands. I just asked Lao Zhang before departure, and he said that one was a set of porcelain, which was entrusted by a regular customer who always made that train to give to the elderly at home as a gift. There should be no problem with the station that goes through the security check at the gate."

"What's the third one?"

"The third one seems to be a woodcarving handicraft." Li Bo's eyes widened suddenly, "I remembered! The box containing the woodcarving handicraft didn't go through the security check! I went over to check before departure, and Lao Zhang was giving the box To make room, the suitcase is quite big, and it may be no problem to accommodate a five or six-year-old child in it, but yesterday's bus was quite full, and there was not enough space in the luggage compartment, so Lao Zhang struggled for a long time."

"Are you sure the things inside are wood carvings? Why didn't this box pass through the security check? How did it get into the passenger terminal?"

"I heard that it is a wood carving, but I don't know if it is, because I only see the cardboard box, which is sealed on the outside, so I can't see it." Li Bo obviously didn't like this box. The other two knew it so well, "I heard from Lao Zhang that he had greeted the guard room at the gate of the courtyard and pulled it in directly from there. Otherwise, it would be too heavy, and it would be easy to be found by the station when passing through the security check. It’s not easy to move.”

After saying this, her face showed concern: "Is the bomb hidden in this box?"

"It's possible, but I can't be sure," Tian Mi didn't hide it deliberately, but answered truthfully. She knows that for the families of the victims, covering up will make them more uncomfortable. What they need to see is to solve the case Therefore, as long as it does not affect the need for confidentiality, she does not want to pretend to be mysterious, "So we need to further verify this package, can you provide some more specific information?"

Li Bo was stunned for a while, wiped the wet corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, picked up his leather bag from the ground beside him while sniffling, and found a lot of various receipts and papers in it. , It took a long time to find a note from inside and hand it to Tian Mi.

Tian Mi took it over and saw that it was a note with a phone number and a series of numbers written on it.

"This is...?" She asked suspiciously.

"The handicraft company that entrusted Lao Zhang to help transport things." Li Bo said, tears filled his eyes again, "Our old Zhang has been throwing things away since he was young, so there are many things that are afraid of being lost or not found. He is used to keeping it with me, so he must give me all the contact numbers and documents that entrust him to deliver the goods before departure, so as not to lose them.”

She pointed to the number behind the phone number: "This means how much the handicraft company has to pay when the item is confirmed to have been delivered. In order to make people feel at ease, Mr. Zhang charges more money for things like this that are more expensive. For a little more, he usually collects a deposit first, and then collects the rest after the receipt of the goods has been confirmed."

Tian Mi copied the phone number on the note, thought about it, and returned the note to Li Bo: "This note is here with you first, please keep it safe, we may need it later .”

Li Bo nodded, his fingers lightly stroked the ordinary note that couldn't be in the ordinary, his eyes began to wander.

Tian Mi knew that she was reminiscing. Although to others, it was just an ordinary note, but to Li Bo, it was the trace left by her husband, and it was also after Lao Zhang passed away. The subtle evidence that can prove his existence is an important emotional sustenance of the widow.

This kind of pain that can only be recalled through things, but can no longer be with the person she loves deeply, in the past, Tian Mi might not be able to fully understand it, but now, she can suddenly understand it.

She and Lu Xiangdong were just facing the pressure of their families, and they didn't know whether they could stand the test, and their heartache was so painful that they couldn't sleep all night. Tian Mi couldn't imagine such an irreversible and hopeless situation like death.

Trying to comfort the grieving Li Bo for a while, Tian Mi also left the funeral home with Lu Xiangdong with a heavy heart.

After confirming the address of the handicraft company that entrusted the driver Lao Zhang to deliver the goods, Tian Mi remained silent all the way until Lu Xiangdong parked the car at the gate of a small processing factory and told her that the destination had arrived and she was going to get off the car before she returned. Come on.

"I figured it out all of a sudden." She said to Lu Xiangdong nonchalantly.

Lu Xiangdong looked at her silently, waiting for her to say the following.

"I've been thinking about Li Bo's situation just now, and I feel terribly sad! If it were me, I would be so sad that I don't know how to live. I couldn't sleep last night, and I was in despair all night, thinking over and over again, what if In the end we couldn't get my mother's approval, so what should we do, but now, I suddenly figured it out." Tian Mi took a breath slowly, then let it out gently, "We two They are all alive, this is hope! Sooner or later, we will be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon!"

"It's good to think so." Lu Xiangdong smiled at Tian Mi, as if comforting her, and comforting himself, "Einstar said that there are opportunities hidden in every difficulty. So as long as you are willing to look for it, We will always find it."

When Tian Mi heard Lu Xiangdong, who was always pessimistic about relationships, say such words, her heart immediately warmed up, and she nodded vigorously to him. The two got out of the car and walked into the rusty factory gate.

In fact, this handicraft company should be a small wood processing factory to process some wooden decorations in the home.Because the scale is small, the personnel composition is naturally not very complicated. Except for the workers in the workshop, there are not many people in charge of management. Therefore, Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong quickly found the staff who entrusted Lao Zhang to deliver the goods that day.

The staff still had a deep memory of the goods that had just been handed over, and this bus bombing case was well known in City C, so after hearing the sweet intention, they quickly brought out relevant materials.

The staff said that because the volume of the goods is slightly larger, if they are handed over to the logistics company, either the time efficiency is not fast enough, or the price exceeds the budget, so they decided to hand over the goods to Lao Zhang for transportation, so that they can It's fast and economical. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Instead, the delivery time was delayed, and even the goods were damaged.

As for the delivery of the goods, this handicraft company handed over to another courier in the same city in this city. That is to say, the staff hired a courier, and then the courier delivered the things to the passenger station and handed them over to Lao Zhang.

"We pack and seal the things in front of the courier. You can check with the courier company. If we don't seal the good things in front of them, they won't do it! I'm afraid we will be late. They damaged the items halfway." The staff said.

In order to verify his words, Tian Mi had no choice but to call the courier company and ask the courier who delivered the goods the day before to come here and verify it face to face.
