Detective Files II

Chapter 434 Causal Cycle
Seeing that everyone suddenly stopped talking and asked you to look at me and me to look at you, with a perplexed look on her face, Tian Mi immediately understood one thing, that is, at least in the circle of familiar people, Cui Shiguang once caused an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol. It's not a secret.

Sure enough, after being questioned by her, the drivers hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Say what you have to say, don't worry about it," Tian Mi encouraged them to speak, but she didn't dare to make her words too obvious, for fear of causing unnecessary panic before the matter has enough evidence to prove it, and it will not end well in the future, "We doubt Cui Shiguang may be in a little trouble, so we can only help him if we have enough information."

"Then let's stop going around in circles!" An older taxi driver spoke first, he had a loud voice, and he sounded like a straightforward person, "I guess you are actually going around here to ask Xiao We have heard some bits and pieces about Cui's drunk driving. If you want to ask for specific details, anyway, no one else can guarantee these people. I don't know everything, but generally I also heard him say that he was young and didn't know the seriousness of the matter. He drank some alcohol and drove and scratched someone. Going to work, making it far away, and not going back to my hometown very much."

Apparently, Cui Shiguang told his group of friends about his getting drunk and causing trouble, but he didn't tell the truth completely.Tian Mi was estimating in her heart, but she didn't show it, and quietly listened to other people's words.

Another young driver, who was younger and seemed to be about the same age as Tian Mi, was also aroused by the greedy chatterer, and rushed to interject as if he was uncomfortable without saying anything: "My brother Cui is a good guy." A person with a memory! Don’t look at the usual time when we take turns, everyone gathers together to drink a little wine and have fun. He will participate in it. If you let him smell it while driving, he will not be happy! Said it was his own fault , For so many years, there has always been a hurdle in my heart! Not only that, even we occasionally careless and want to drink a little while driving, you know, for example, when driving in winter, the weather is cold and uncomfortable, and we have lunch When I was in bed, I just wanted to drink a cup of warmth, if Brother Cui was here, I would definitely stop him and say nothing, just keep saying that he is a lesson from the past or something."

The young man spoke as if Cui Shiguang was a man who understood righteousness, but the drivers beside him all nodded their heads to prove that what he said was true, which made Tian Mi a little surprised and became more and more unpredictable What kind of person is Cui Shiguang?

He caused a drunk driving accident, lied to the injured to escape punishment, and said that he wanted to go private. After reaching an agreement, he left his hometown and refused to pay money. These clearly showed his lack of responsibility, but on the other hand, after arriving in C City, he But he is strict with himself, and always reminds people around him not to repeat the same mistakes, showing remorse and guilt for the mistakes he made.

This diametrically opposite performance may be understood as the fact that he was younger at the beginning, but now that he is older, he begins to reflect and feel regretful.However, he only talked about it, and did not make any compensation to the injured person who was injured by him in action.

Tian Mi couldn't help becoming more and more curious about Cui Shiguang, and felt that the duality of this person was really interesting.

The words of the elder brother and the younger master basically represent the opinions of the other few. They also rushed to talk about Cui Shiguang, but the content is similar, and there is no shortage of speculation People still have scruples about Tian Mi's status as a policeman, and when talking about Cui Shiguang, they use some general compliments, which are actually meaningless.

Everyone is very clear about Cui Shiguang going back to his hometown to go on a blind date and get married. It is said that because of this incident before leaving, Cui Shiguang happily treated everyone to dinner several times, and even made an exception and had to leave the car the next day. I drank wine two or three times.

"Brother Cui said that he has been suffering in his heart for so many years. Because he got into trouble when he was young, he has been floating outside, afraid to go back to his hometown, and he has no face to face his relatives and friends in his hometown. He even delayed asking for a wife. Now he finally You can talk about marriage in a down-to-earth manner, and marry a daughter-in-law to live!" The young driver said sympathetically.

Tian Mi was a little speechless, and felt emotional in her heart. She didn't know if these drivers were hiding something from her, or they were credulous by nature, or because they didn't think rationally because things happened to their familiar friends, otherwise it would not be difficult to find them with a little thought The illogical part of Cui Shiguang's words.

If he only scratched someone slightly in his hometown and didn't cause any serious consequences, even if he was afraid of being blackmailed and left his hometown at that time, he wouldn't have been too scared to go back after all these years, and he was so panicked that he didn't even have a girlfriend. Dare to discuss.

Unless for Cui Shiguang, he is not sure whether he will be exposed suddenly one day, and because of the accident at the beginning, he will be imprisoned, and he is afraid that marrying a wife will harm the other party.

Of course, Tian Mi was just thinking about it in her heart and didn't say it out loud.

After chatting with several master drivers, Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong went to the control room again, just in time for some drivers who had finished their shifts and came home from get off work in twos and threes, so they had to wait at the door for a while.

When Tian Mi turned her face away, she felt as if she saw a familiar license plate, and when she took a closer look, the inside of the windshield was bare, and there was nothing, and she didn't care. He went into the house with Lu Xiangdong, and didn't have time to think about it.

For Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong, time is also relatively tight. Originally, they just planned to take a trip to the taxi company, but they received the news that Cui Shiguang rented a car halfway, and their workload increased accordingly. And now it's the off-duty time. If you don't hurry up, the car rental company's commute time is not as flexible as that of the taxi company, even though there is only a one-letter difference.

The car rental company is not too close to the taxi company. When Tian Mi and the others rushed over, they were getting ready to get off work. When they saw someone coming to the door, they were quite enthusiastic at first, thinking that it was business. After Tian Mi explained the purpose of coming, they received them. The staff immediately lost their enthusiasm, a little listless and even impatient. After all, there is no business to talk about, and they have to delay their off-duty time.

However, the reception staff are very cooperative with Tian Mi's work, because they also have their own worries. Customers who rent cars from home have become the targets of criminal police investigation, which makes them instinctively start to worry about the safety of their own vehicles. When asked by Tian Mi, I couldn't help but ask questions in turn.

According to the staff of the car rental company, Cui Shiguang rented a Mazda sedan from the company for a period of one month and the rent was 9600 yuan, and the car was taken away five days ago.

According to the time when Cui Shiguang asked for leave from the taxi company, he left the day before, and the time to go back and forth to his hometown was not that long. Why did he choose a full month for the rental car?
For this question, the staff of the car rental company gave an explanation.

"This Cui Shiguang has looked at the car several times, and he has taken a fancy to the Mazda car, but it is too expensive. We calculated it for him. He originally wanted to rent two cars for three weeks. According to the daily rental price, if two weeks , a little less than the monthly rent. If it is three weeks, it will be more expensive than the monthly rent. After hearing this, he still can’t make up his mind, so he said to go back and think about it. I knew it was a retreat, but I didn’t know how to get it right the next day, so I paid the rent and deposit happily, and took the car away.”

As for why Cui Shiguang changed his mind overnight, the staff of the car rental company couldn't explain why.

"Tell me, why did he change his mind?" Tian Mi asked Lu Xiangdong on the way to leave in the dark after finishing the questioning.

Lu Xiangdong didn't have an answer to this either: "I don't know how to read minds, and I don't have supernatural powers. With such a one-sided understanding, how can I give an answer."

"Tell me, does Cui Shiguang have any remorse for the accident he caused back then? It's one thing to say, but another way to do it?" Tian Mi has always been concerned about the inconsistency between Cui Shiguang's words and deeds.

Lu Xiangdong didn't have much emotion about this, but said to Tian Mi flatly: "People, in most cases, even criminals, their conscience is not completely wiped out, it's just that when the conscience and human selfish nature compete , often the selfish nature wins out.”

"You mean, he actually regretted and blamed himself for his actions, but based on his economic conditions, when he had to choose between compensating for the losses of the injured and protecting his own life, he chose In order to protect yourself, sacrifice the interests of the other party?" Tian Mi thought about it, and felt that this made sense. Although it is said that human beings are inherently good, as a higher animal, human beings still retain the survival instinct of animals. Selfish dispositions are always stubborn in front of them.

When I got home at night, Tian Mi and Tian Yang exchanged the results of the investigation, and learned that Tian Yang’s harvest was not small, but a bit messy. Before getting acquainted with Yuan He, she had been a prostitute whose "business" was not very prosperous. Yuan He brought her to another social level to some extent.

That night, Tian Mi didn't get a good night's sleep. It's not that she thought about it day and night, but that she received a call before four o'clock in the morning and was told that Cui Shiguang had been found.

It's just that he was found from under the wheel, as if he had been caught in the karma of karma.
