Detective Files II

Chapter 348 Millions in Cash
Saying goodbye to Wang Chun, and turning her head, Tian Mi saw that Director Zheng of the property had also walked a long way.

"Don't go, just wait a moment!" Tian Mi hurriedly greeted, while running down the steps, trying to catch up.

Lu Xiangdong grabbed her and said, "Stop chasing him. If you want to ask him a question, just ask me. The answer is all here."

Tian Mi looked at Lu Xiangdong suspiciously, but Lu Xiangdong didn't mind being questioned by her, so he let go of Tian Mi's arm, took a step back, and opened his hands: "If you don't believe me, just ask, Director Zheng just replied Go to the office, I don’t think I’ll run around until I get off work today, and I’m waiting for the police’s investigation at any time, if you’re afraid that I’ll make things up, you can go to him later for verification.”

"It's not enough to make things up. You're not such an unreliable person. I'm afraid you didn't ask about some things."

"I'm far more reliable than you think." Lu Xiangdong was as confident as ever, or it could be said to be conceited.

Seeing what he said, Tian Mi didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I saw that the registered owner of this house was named Jie Yuan, and she was a woman in her 40s. This does not match the age of the deceased."

"Yes, I asked Director Zheng just now, and he said that the property rights of this house do belong to a man named Xie Yuan, and he also knows that the owner of the house does not live here, and he does not know the woman who lives here. "Lu Xiangdong replied, "But because most of the residents here have bought houses as vacation homes, they often bring relatives and friends to live here, and the women who live in this villa usually dress in the same clothes. She is very high-end, and she is only regarded as a relative or friend of the owner in terms of property management, and has no involvement in the owner's private affairs. The owner, Xie Yuan, has never really lived here, only when he just bought the house I came here to pay the property fees twice, and since the deceased moved in, all the expenses have been paid by the deceased himself, and Director Zheng hasn’t seen Xie Yuan himself for a long time.”

"Then, how long has the deceased lived in this house?"

"It's been almost two years. The deceased's car was a BMW trot. It was red and eye-catching, so the property staff, including Director Zheng and other security guards, had the impression. The door of the downstairs garage was open, and it was empty inside. I went to see the corpse when you first went in, and I don't know if the car was parked elsewhere by the deceased, or the murderer drove away." Lu Xiangdong raised his hand to a garage door that was ajar at the end of the driveway on the side of the villa.

"What about the license plate?"

"Director Zheng doesn't remember either. He promised to go back and ask other people now, and he will call you later—I left him your contact number."

"Xie Yuan's contact information."

"I've already written it down. Because of the high housing prices in this villa area, many homeowners usually don't come to live in it. In order to prevent the property from being unable to find anyone in a sudden situation, after the house is sold, a homeowner address book is made and sent to the property's The staff, Director Zheng is pretty smart, he knew something was wrong, and he took it with him when he came to check the situation just now."

"They..." Tian Mi was about to continue asking questions, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind, "Your question is really comprehensive, let's go, let's go to their duty room and talk to other people. Instead of waiting for Director Zheng to finish his questioning before sending us a message, it would be safer for us to get the first-hand information directly."

"You're too impatient," Lu Xiangdong shook his head disapprovingly, "What can you ask the security guard on duty in the duty room? When was the last time you saw the deceased? Or have you seen any suspicious vehicles or people coming in and out? Now that the specific time of death of the deceased is still unclear, don’t you think it’s difficult to lock in the time frame if you’re eager to learn about that information?”

Tian Mi raised her hand and slapped herself on the forehead: "Oh! Look at my brain! I'm so anxious because it's a homicide! Then contact Jie Yuan first! Since the time of death can't be determined, first find a way to clarify the identity of the deceased That's what matters."

This time, Lu Xiangdong had no objection to Tian Mi's decision.

It is not particularly difficult to contact Xie Yuan. He dialed the phone number provided by the property, and the call was answered quickly there.

It was Xie Yuan himself who answered the phone. After hearing Tian Mi's self-reported family name and the purpose of the call, the other party was very surprised and could hardly speak on the phone.Tian Mi made an appointment with her to meet and talk in detail, Xie Yuan did not refuse, and gave Tian Mi an address for her to go there.

After hanging up the phone, Tian Mi went back to the villa, explained to her colleagues who were still doing the final forensics work, and hurried to the address provided by Xie Yuan with Lu Xiangdong.

Originally thought that Xie Yuan must be a wealthy household who owns a high-end villa like "Mirage". The address given by Xie Yuan was a residential address. Tian Mi guessed that there must be good conditions there, but she didn't expect her goal. Only then did I realize that it was a residential area that was too ordinary to be in an ordinary residential area.

Looking for them according to the house number, the person who opened the door for them was a woman in her 40s, with a pale complexion and a thin body, with a batik scarf around her head.

"Please come in." The woman let Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong into the room and asked them to sit down in the living room.

This woman is Jie Yuan. She looks very weak, her voice is weak, and her clothes are very simple, just like this small house.

When Tian Mi asked about the situation of the house, Xie Yuan was a little embarrassed and told Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong about the villa.

"You have also seen the small house where my family lives, and you should also be able to see that I am not the kind of person who can afford a villa. The thing is actually like this," her voice was light and light, as if speaking was important to her It is a tiring work that consumes physical strength. "Actually, I got cancer three years ago and needed a lot of treatment expenses. The money in my family was spent at once, and my relatives happened to be there. The developer of the villa area in the Mirage works there. He said that he can buy the houses there at cost price, which can be much cheaper, and he can make a lot of money by reselling them. Our family has no other choice. After a final discussion, we decided to borrow from everyone. Buy it with my son’s money, and pay back the money after the house is sold.”

"After I bought the house, it has been suppressed and cannot be sold. Some relatives began to press for money. I was also informed that the first treatment was not thorough enough, and the cancer cells showed signs of metastasis. At this time, someone He contacted me and said he wanted to buy that villa, but he didn’t even mention the price, and agreed to a one-time payment, so I sold the house and paid back the money from relatives, and the rest was used for medical treatment, and there was still a lot left. "

"So, you sold that house two years ago?"

"Yes." Xie Yuan nodded.

"Then why are you still the head of the household at the property?"

"Because the woman who bought my house said that because she didn't want to pay the fee for the transfer of property rights, she hoped not to go through the transfer of property rights for the time being. She said she would come to me when the transfer needed to be done, and she signed an agreement with us. We also wondered, How can someone who can buy such a big villa with a one-time payment be short of the handling fee? But when we need money the most, they can be regarded as doing our family a big favor anyway. Anyway, we are It’s impossible to play tricks, since people are not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry, I just treat it as a convenience for others, but I didn’t expect that people would die suddenly!” Xie Yuan responded to the news that the new owner of the villa was killed. Obviously still a little hard to digest.

Indeed, as she said, how can a person who can afford a detached villa be reluctant to pay for the transfer?This is obviously a suspicious point.

"You should know the identity of the person who bought the house, right?" Tian Mi wrote down the question about the real estate transfer, and asked again.

Xie Yuan nodded, stood up slowly, and walked into the bedroom: "I have a copy of the ID card that the woman left for me when the house was sold and signed the agreement, and I'll get it for you."

After a while, she came back with a large kraft paper bag, and took out the property certificate of the villa, the agreement signed with the buyer, and a photocopy of the ID card that was not particularly satisfactory.

Although the print was somewhat blurred, the photo on the ID card was very similar to the slightly swollen face of the deceased in the villa.

According to the information on the copy of the ID card, the person's name is Sun Linna, and she is 29 years old this year, calculated according to the date of birth.

This is consistent with the age of the deceased and the title "Sister Na" in the mouth of the little nanny.

However, due to the poor quality of the copy, the last few digits of the ID number are stained and cannot be seen clearly. It is not difficult to find this person from the household registration.

"How much do you know about this Sun Linna?" Tian Mi asked Jie Yuan.

Xie Yuan shook his head, and pointed to the copy of the ID card in Tian Mi's hand: "I don't know anything else except this."

"You don't know anything about the other party's situation. Could this deal be too hasty?" Tian Mi couldn't believe it. During the course of the day, she met a babysitter who didn't know the employer's full name, and a babysitter who didn't know the buyer's name. This kind of coincidence is ridiculous.

"Anyway, she settled the money in one go, and we didn't miss a penny. We were also in a hurry to spend money at the time, and we really didn't have the energy to take care of so much." Xie Yuan replied with a little shame.

"Then did Sun Linna transfer the rent to you through bank transfer or some other means?" Tian Mi felt that it was not enough for a 29-year-old young woman to bear a sum of several million rents on her own ability. In reality, the method of her payment will definitely help the police find the person associated with her.

Who knows, Jie Yuan's answer surprised Tian Mi again: "She gave us cash."

"Cash? Aren't you all afraid of being short of money or having counterfeit money?" Tian Mi's voice rose a degree involuntarily because of surprise.

"The woman drove us to deposit the money and counted it face to face in the bank." Xie Yuan grinned awkwardly, "This is the first time in my life that I have entered the VIP room of a bank."
