most charming

There are several open shops on the opposite side of the road, Lin Tao said to Xiaochun: "You work hard, keep an eye on it, if that woman has any movements, tell us immediately!"

He was still a little worried about the boss of the clothing store just now, so don't fool himself with words.

"Okay!" Xiaochun nodded, as long as Xiao Min can be found, even if it is frozen outside for three days and three nights.

Lin Tao and Sun Zhenying asked separately, and the owners of several shops that were open said they didn't know this person.

The three of them gathered outside again, Sun Zhenying's face was a bit unsightly, it was already very obvious that the woman was lying to herself just now.

"Xiaochun, how are you doing?"

Xiaochun said: "No movement!" She kept staring, the clothing store was still the same, occasionally people came in and out.

"That's strange, logically speaking, she should have no reason to lie to us." Lin Tao muttered.

At this moment, a store that had been turned off suddenly turned on the lights, and the word "rental" was pasted on the window, which was very conspicuous under the light.

"past!"

Sun Zhenying walked to the shop, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened automatically.

A middle-aged man came out of it, and when he saw two tall men rushing up, he was startled.

"What are you guys doing!"

"Are you the owner of this store?"

"I... I am!" The middle-aged man stared at the three of them vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

Sun Zhenying took out his police officer ID and said, "Handling the case, please cooperate with the investigation."

The middle-aged man was obviously relieved, thinking that he was going to be robbed.He pushed open the door and said, "Come in!"

This is a hardware store, the inside is very messy, and the things are arranged in a disorganized manner.

"Do you want to rent out this shop?"

"Yes, for rent!" The middle-aged man nodded.

"You are not the landlord, where do you have the right to rent out?"

"Actually, it's just a second lease." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "I'm planning to go to other places to look at the hardware store. The business here is not very good. But I paid the rent for 3 years at one time. The landlord must I won't refund it, if I don't sublet it out, I will lose it!"

Sun Zhenying took out Xiao Min's ID card and asked, "Do you know this woman?"

The middle-aged man took a closer look, and said hesitantly, "It seems a little familiar..." He scratched his head with few hairs left, and smiled embarrassedly, "My small shop is not big, but every day There are also a lot of customers, so I just feel a little familiar, as for when I met, I really have no impression."

Lin Tao interjected, "How much do you plan to rent for this store?"

"There is still more than one year left on the lease, including water and electricity bills, a total of 1!"

"That way is not expensive." Lin Tao smiled.

The middle-aged man asked: "Do you want to rent it? Then I can consider it cheaper."

"Are you in such a hurry to rent it out?" Lin Tao shook his head and said, "I guess there must be something wrong with your store, otherwise you wouldn't be willing to lose money and sublet it out."

The middle-aged man didn't expect Lin Tao to be so shrewd, and he immediately saw his intentions, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Sun Zhenying asked: "Tell me, why do you have to rent out the shop?"

"Actually...it's nothing serious, it's just that the landlord is going to raise the rent!" The middle-aged man suddenly whispered.

"You don't have to rent it for a rent increase, why do you have to rent it?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "Recently, I was notified that all tenants with one year left in the contract must sign a new contract in advance, and the rent will increase by 1%. If you do not plan to renew the contract, you can move out, and the remaining one year The rent is not refundable."

"Isn't this forced to buy and sell? What era is it, and there are such landlords?"

The middle-aged man quickly stopped Lin Tao and said, "Young man, don't talk nonsense, something will happen!"

"Could it be that this landlord has something to do with evil forces?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "It's not just evil forces..."

Xiaochun saw that the two of them had gone off topic, and finally couldn't help asking: "Boss, have there been many people coming to ask the price recently?"

"The tenants in the neighborhood know everything, and no one will come to ask the price. As for outsiders, there are some, but it seems that they have heard that they need to renew their subscription one year in advance, and they just come in to ask the price."

The middle-aged man said helplessly: "It's not easy to rent!" He sighed a long time.

Immediately afterwards, he said in surprise: "By the way, the girl whose identity I showed you just now has also been here, and I said why she looks so familiar!"

"When did this happen?"

"A few days ago!" the boss recalled, "She felt that the price was okay, but she wanted to cut it off if it wasn't enough. I didn't give her a chance, and I would have lost it if it was cheaper."

"and after?"

"I left after that..." the middle-aged man said, "She said she would think about it, and gave me an answer the next day, but she didn't come."

Sun Zhenying asked, "Is she alone or is she accompanied?"

"Alone!" The middle-aged man said with certainty.

"You have monitoring here, open it and have a look!"

The middle-aged man turned on the surveillance video and tuned it to a similar time for several people to view.

"Wait..." Lin Tao suddenly pointed to a person on the video, "Isn't this Ivy? How could he appear in such a place?"

The middle-aged man stretched his neck and took a look, and said, "Master Chang is the landlord. He had a drink that day and came over to check the tenant's reaction to the price increase."

The three of them didn't speak, and Ivy in the video seemed to be a little drunk, dangling around in the hardware store, and then sat down in a corner.

After a while, Xiao Min walked in and chatted with the middle-aged man for a while. It seemed that the rent was a bit expensive, and he felt that he couldn't find a better shop than this one. After chatting with the middle-aged man for a while, he finally said leave.

Immediately afterwards, Ivy appeared on the screen, said something to the boss, and opened the door to go out.

Seeing this, the three of them seemed to understand something, and they exchanged eye contact with each other.

Sun Zhenying decisively copied the surveillance video away, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't bother you."

The middle-aged man asked, "What happened to that girl?"

"It's nothing, it's just a small problem." Sun Zhenying said perfunctorily.

The middle-aged man said "Oh" without asking any further questions. He watched the three of them leave, but suddenly said in a low voice: "Something must have happened! No, I have to rent out the house quickly, it's too unlucky!" At first, he liked it very much. However, the more you open the shop, the more uncomfortable it becomes. People's psychology is so strange.

The three stood on the street, and Sun Zhenying searched for a long time with his head up, raised his hand and said, "It's a security surveillance video, and the angle of view can just include this shop."

Lin Tao said, "You mean..."

"Follow me, I have a solution!"

The surveillance videos on the streets are basically under the control of the traffic police. Sun Zhenying has a good network in this circle. After talking to the person who manages the surveillance in the traffic police team, he opened the video for him to watch.

Sun Zhenying winked at him, quietly handed him the USB flash drive, and then dragged him out to smoke.

Lin Tao knew that this matter must be treated with caution. If Ivy really took Xiao Min away, he would have a big handle on him. As long as he quietly collects evidence, he will always suffer a big loss. Even Chang Zhengwu If you want to be safe, you must also consider the impact.

Of course, all this is speculation, and the answer can only be obtained after watching the video.

Lin Tao fast-forwarded skillfully, and finally stopped at a certain point in time.

The shop door was pushed open, Xiao Min came out from inside, stood on the side of the street and sighed, looking a little depressed.Immediately afterwards, Ivy came out, stood beside Xiao Min, and said something in a low voice, and Xiao Min immediately turned to look at him with an unbelievable expression on his face.Ivy showed a smug smile, and continued to say a few words, Xiao Min seemed a little shaken.Then, Ivy Teng persuaded her a few more words, Xiao Min finally nodded, and the two got into the car one after the other.

Lin Tao recorded the direction the car was driving, but he couldn't copy the video, the machine needed authorization.

However, this is not a problem for Lin Tao. Playing the video again, he dubbed it with his mobile phone, which can also be used as evidence.

Just after finishing all this, Sun Zhenying came back with him, and said impatiently: "I said, it's been so long, and I haven't found anyone yet?"

"I found it, I found it!" Lin Tao stood up and said depressingly, "It seems that he is a habitual thief. I guess I can't keep my money."

The policeman in charge of managing the video said with a smile: "Look for Lao Sun, he knows all the thieves in that area, and he can get it back for you directly."

"Forget about a thousand dollars, the most important thing is getting your ID back." Sun Zhenying urged, "Go, I'll take you there now."

The three came out of the traffic police team, Lin Tao played the video to Sun Zhenying and said, "It really is Ivy!"

"Good guy, if he really imprisoned Xiao Min, the nature would be different!"

"Brother Sun, you must save Xiao Min!" Xiao Chun said eagerly.

"Don't worry, if Ivy really did it, we will definitely rescue Xiao Min." Sun Zhenying nodded.

Lin Tao asked: "Shall we continue, or call it a day and talk about it tomorrow?"

Sun Zhenying really couldn't resist Xiaochun's pleading eyes, and said, "Go on!"

The three of them took a taxi back to the front of the small hotel to pick up the car, it was more convenient to drive by themselves.

Returning to the scene of the incident, Sun Zhenying determined the direction according to the location of the video.Searching along the street is the most stupid and stupid way, neither Sun Zhenying nor Lin Tao would do that.Sun Zhenying started to make calls, and Lin Tao also contacted them. Both of them had the same purpose, to find the stronghold of Ivy in this area.

Sun Zhenying's deduction is very simple. Ivy was drinking too much at the time, and it should be due to sex. I don't know what tricks he used to trick Xiao Min. He would definitely not take her far, otherwise Xiao Min would definitely be in the car if he found something wrong. trouble.

After this reasoning, Ivy has a house nearby, which is a tenable conclusion.

Soon, both of them had feedback.

"Fortune Boutique!"

“Natural Mercure!”

These are two of the most upscale neighborhoods in the neighborhood!

Sun Zhenying and Lin Tao looked at each other and smiled wryly. I didn't expect that Ivy had two real estates, and they were both nearby. It was not so easy to find out.

"You can do it, I have eyeliner too!" Sun Zhenying glanced at Lin Tao.

"No, it's far away!" Lin Tao smiled, naturally he couldn't tell him that he got the news from Brother Dou.

But even if he doesn't say anything, Sun Zhenying can still make a good guess.

"Where to go first?"

"Fortune Boutique, come a little closer!"

Hongyun Boutique is a fully enclosed community, consisting of 9 high-rise buildings, with a sky garden in the middle, and the environment is quite good.

Sun Zhenying came directly to the property, showed his police officer ID, and asked to cooperate with the investigation under the pretext that the owner had reported the case.

The property manager did not suspect him, and took them to the monitoring room of the security room, called up the video of the day, and watched them all in fast forward.

After watching for about two hours, Ivy's car was not found. Both of them knew that the probability of Ivy's coming that day was not high.

Called up the videos of the last few days and fast-forwarded at the highest speed, but there was still no clue, which meant that Ivy hadn't come to live in this community for some time.

From Hongyun boutique, there are only natural beautiful houses, which are also high-end residences. The area of ​​the community is larger than that of Hongyun boutique, and 12 buildings form a regular 12-sided shape.There is a large square in the middle of the community, as well as a beautiful musical fountain and a large area of ​​planned green space. The environment is very good.

Using the same trick to enter the monitoring room, accompanied by the property manager, Sun Zhenying called out the video of the day.Now there is only one clue left, he did not choose to fast forward, but played at normal speed.

After looking at it for a while, the property manager started to yawn and said, "This thing needs patience too much. Look, call me if you have something to do!"

Soon, the other security guard who was in charge of escorting was also sleepy, so he went out to smoke on the pretext, so there were only three people left in the monitoring room.

"Pause!"

Lin Tao pointed to the car on the screen and said, "This is Ivy's car!"

Sun Zhenying zoomed in on the camera, and it was indeed Ivy sitting in the driver's seat, and there was a faint figure in the back seat, but I couldn't see it clearly.

Sun Zhenying first recorded this paragraph, and then searched the monitoring for the past few days, and found that Ivy would come every day, and the time slots were not far apart. The earlier one was at 2 pm, and the later one was around 5 pm. Leave before 8pm.

This is a very important clue. Both of them saw the hope in the other's eyes. This is not only a matter of rescuing a imprisoned girl, but also caught Ivy's handle. It is illegal to restrict other people's personal freedom at will. , if you commit sexual assault or treat him as a sexual slave, it will be a big problem, and you will be sentenced to at least six or seven years!

But no one wanted Ivy to be imprisoned, they just wanted to take the opportunity to completely kill the Chang family and his son!

After coming out of the community, Lin Tao was refreshed. After comforting Xiaochun a few words, he stretched his waist and said, "Work is over today! Jinhui Hotel, please!"

Sun Zhenying smiled and said, "Let's go!"
