Detective Files II

Chapter 57 Loach

The old man who lived across the door from Qiao Qiong soon got feedback. The old man didn't see the face of the person outside the door clearly that day, but he clearly remembered the birthmark on the back of the man's neck and the general height and appearance seen from the back. Tian Mi took it. Zhao Jiping's photo was asked to be identified by the old man, but the old man dared not confirm it 100%, but he kept saying that it was very similar.

The hard work paid off, and with the assistance of economic investigations, the mystery of the misappropriation of Qiao Qiong's company funds was finally revealed, but the result was a bit puzzling.

The stolen 30 yuan was indeed transferred out through the "Payment U-Shield" in Qiao Qiong's possession at the time, which means that the rumors inside the company were not groundless. After the 30 yuan was transferred out of the company's account, it was It did not enter Qiao Qiong's personal account. In fact, Qiao Qiong did not touch a single cent of the money until her death. During the period before she was killed, there was indeed a few sums of money in her account. After Huang Meng verified it, it was confirmed that it was the so-called "breakup fee" paid to her by Huang Meng, and on the other account, in addition to her small salary, according to the amount deposited, there was Lin The house rent for a quarter that Xiang mentioned before.

Since Qiao Qiong did not get the stolen 30, where did the money go?
The answer was not unexpected, it was Zhao Jiping, until the economic investigation police found the final flow of funds - Zhao Jiping's personal account, and he used up most of the money.

Facing the facts, it is obvious that Zhao Jiping and Qiao Qiong cannot be two people who have never known each other, nor can they be just ordinary colleagues who have nothing to do with each other. The two people obviously have a deeper connection. What makes people wonder is only Qiao Qiong , since the money did flow out through the "payment USB shield" in her hand, then why did she act so angry after the incident, as if she had been wronged by the sky, and even ran to ask Huang Meng for help, Is it just "thief shouting "stop thief", whitewashing one's guilty conscience?

If this is the case, then she didn't get any of the stolen money at that time, why is that?
In any case, the clear facts are now in front of us. Zhao Jiping is related to the stolen funds, and there is also a potential connection between him and Qiao Qiong.If you don't invite him to the Public Security Bureau to talk at this time, would there be a more suitable time?
So under Cheng Feng's suggestion, An Changpu made a phone call and invited Zhao Jiping to the serious crime team.

Tian Mi and An Changpu, who were in charge of talking with him that day, had already returned to J College to do their own work. After hearing about the progress of the matter, Lu Xiangdong also took the initiative to listen in, which made several members of the serious crime team Somewhat surprised.After all, Lu Xiangdong is Lu Xiangdong, he is different from Jiayi before, Jiayi is out of the need to collect cases and enthusiasm for unsolved cases, but Lu Xiangdong is the complete opposite, he hates everything that he describes as "unnecessary interpersonal communication" ", he was indifferent to most things, so he showed an active participation attitude, which made everyone a little uncomfortable.

While waiting for the results of the economic investigation, he was not idle. Accompanied by Tian Mi, he went to the house where Qiao Qiong was killed twice. She looked thoughtful, and then left without saying a word, making Tian Mi full of question marks.

Before finding the opportunity to ask the truth, the funding issue here has been clarified. Zhao Jiping was invited to be a "guest", which is of course the top priority. As for Lu Xiangdong's actions, Tian Mi has no choice but to suppress them for the time being. time to ask again.

Zhao Jiping was called, this time the atmosphere was not as casual as before in the company, Tian Mi and An Changpu took him directly to the interrogation room, as one can imagine, the atmosphere there was much more serious and depressing.

"Officer, is there anything I can do for you today?" Zhao Jiping was very calm, as if he didn't feel that the environment of the interrogation room meant anything.

"I thought you already knew." Tian Mi said with a smile, without directly answering his question.

Zhao Jiping propped his cheek with his thumb, scratched his forehead lightly with his index finger, with a puzzled expression: "I'm really not sure about this."

"You don't even know the purpose, so you are willing to come here?" An Changpu said sarcastically.

"Cooperating with the police is the duty of a good citizen," said Zhao Jiping, who was not overwhelmed by An Changpu's question. "Isn't that what is always said in the publicity of the law? I don't think there is any problem with it."

Tian Mi and An Changpu looked at each other. This Zhao Jiping's psychological quality is better than expected. Many people who are glib outside, once brought into the interrogation room, the pressure brought by the surrounding environment will make people involuntarily nervous. , and now, seeing that Zhao Jiping is still as slippery as the last time they met, I am afraid that the next progress will not be too smooth.

Tian Mi spoke calmly, and answered Zhao Jiping's question by herself: "I came to you today because I want to talk to you about Qiao Qiong."

When Zhao Jiping heard this, he immediately grinned: "Officer, are you a nobleman who forgets things too much? Didn't I tell you all about it when you came to me last time? A photo doesn't explain anything at all. Too much, I don't know her well, I'm just a colleague of the company, I don't know anything about her, so I can't help you."

"Since we're talking about parties," Lu Xiangdong who was sitting beside him said, "Is this the first time you met Qiao Qiong that day?"

Zhao Jiping looked at Lu Xiangdong with some doubts, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly brought the topic up to that party: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, just ask."

"Correct."

"Can you tell me how the two of you got in touch?"

"That day I was called to attend their party. There were some people I knew and some I didn't know. Then we all sang, drank, and played games together. Someone suggested to play Truth or Dare..." Zhao Jiping said At that time, his gaze involuntarily shifted a little to his left.

At this moment, Lu Xiangdong raised his hand to stop his narration: "Stop, I hope you can tell me the last name in flashback."

"Flashback?" Zhao Jiping was obviously surprised, not only him, but even Tian Mi and An Changpu didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Xiangdong was selling in the gourd.

"Yes, it's a flashback." Lu Xiangdong seemed to have guessed what Zhao Jiping wanted to say next, and directly blocked his retreat: "I'm not joking, you didn't say it just now, cooperating with the police is the duty of a good citizen, so then Please cooperate."

Zhao Jiping was silent for a long time, heaved a long sigh, and showed a helpless smile: "Okay, you won, I'm sorry, I did hide one thing, and Qiao Qiong and I met for the first time that day."
