Chapter 350 The Devil in My Heart (1)

For her, life has always been very simple...or rather, it remains the same.

on duty off duty.Smile, be silent...go home.

For Zhao Ru, if one color is used to describe her life, it should be the color of the wall that has been placed for decades.

But obviously she's also a fastidious person.

In this rented place of less than ten square meters, exquisite places can be seen everywhere.The wallpaper that I re-arranged by myself, the old-fashioned but spotless floor, the iron window that looks rusty but does not make a harsh sound when it is pushed open.

Presumably, the walls of this small single room also have many potholes left over from disrepair, but they have been covered up with some simple decorations.

Right now, she is cooking for herself.There is no so-called kitchen here, but if you put in some thought, you can still create a space for cooking.

But while she was chopping vegetables, she suddenly heard a knock on the door... Theoretically, no one should have come back to look for her - at this lunch time.

"You are...Mr. Ma?"

Zhao Ru was obviously surprised when he opened the door and saw one of the students in the cram school.Two days earlier, she also knew another identity of Mr. Ma.

Yes, she knew his identity. Two days earlier, when he came to the cram school with a team of police officers and issued a search warrant.

"Oh...it's Police Officer Ma." Zhao Ru opened the door completely, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

But obviously, she didn't consider letting the police officer who came to the cram school undercover...before the other party made such a request.

"That's right, we still have a few questions that we would like to ask Miss Zhao." Ma Houde said with a slight smile.

But as a seasoned police officer, he already sensed that the other party was vaguely putting on a defensive posture.

His eyes flicked past Zhao Ru's side...the space inside was not large, so he easily saw a corner of a suitcase lying on the ground...it seemed to be opened.

Ma Houde said calmly at this moment: "Are you cooking? Did I disturb you?"

"Oh...it's okay." Zhao Ru nodded, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to gently grab the necklace pendant around her neck.

An ordinary, simple and rough, black crystal pendant.

Ma Houde was suddenly a little absent-minded, subconsciously squeezed the center of his brows, feeling a little tired.

Zhao Ru then continued: "Anyway, I'm just alone... I don't know what questions Officer Ma wants to ask? I remember that when you came last time, I already gave a more detailed answer... Is it still a question?" Is there anything missing?"

"Is it convenient to go in?" Ma Houde asked suddenly.

Zhao Ru said calmly: "Please wait a moment, I have to tidy up the room."

"I understand, I'll wait." Ma Houde nodded—this kind of small single room rented by a single woman, I think there is a lot of content in it.

Of course, Ma Sir felt that it would be better for him to avoid it.

Zhao Ru closed the door, and opened it again shortly after, but asked Ma Houde to take off her shoes... Obviously she is a clean girl, Ma Sir subconsciously thought.

The suitcase was obviously no longer placed on the ground, but closed and placed against the wall.

"Miss Zhao Ru, how long have you lived alone?"

"Officer Ma, do I have to answer this question?"

"It's okay, I'm just curious." Ma Houde shrugged, "Well...it's like this, Ms. Zhao, our police are looking for Dai Youcai. I don't know if he has looked for you in the past two days, or you have I haven't heard any news about him. Don't get me wrong, we don't suspect you, but just tell you as usual, after all, you are also his acquaintance. "

Zhao Ru was taken aback, let go of the pendant she had been playing with, thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Boss Dai? I don't know. I don't know him very well. Besides, I'm just a part-time worker at the front desk. How could it be possible?" Familiar with the big boss."

Ma Houde nodded, "Well, I will come to inform you. Miss Zhao, if you have any news, please contact us immediately."

Zhao Ru then smiled and said, "I know, Officer Ma... By the way, I forgot to pour you tea."

"Oh, it's okay." Ma Houde said casually: "I'm leaving now, and I have to go to other places at the moment. I just happened to pass by, so I came up to take a look... Then, excuse me."

"I'll take you out." Zhao Ru nodded with a smile.

……

After Ma Houde went downstairs, he quickly walked to the coming car.

As soon as he got into the car, the young police officer in charge of driving asked curiously, "Ma Sir, did you find anything?"

Ma Houde frowned and said: "Before I entered the door, I saw that her suitcase was opened, and it was put away when I went in. This woman's house is very clean, in fact, there is no need to pack it up to prevent me from entering the door. Hmm... ...This Zhao Ru may want to leave, you can call back and ask someone to check the records of all the stations and airports."

"I see."

Ma Houde glanced at the rearview mirror on the side of the car, and now he pointed to the front and said, "Drive the car in front and go around for a while and then come back, let's get out of the car and ask someone who knows Zhao Ru nearby. This woman is still staring at us."

"It seems that there is something wrong with being so careful." The young police officer also glanced in the rearview mirror.

Ma Sir suddenly pinched the center of his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Ma Sir, are you tired?" The young police officer jokingly said, "Could it be that the comrade who stared at the provincial bureau today is sleepy?"

I've been following Ma Houde for some time, but he doesn't know what tricks Ma SIR, who rarely opens the office curtains, has done?

"There's so much nonsense, let's drive!" Ma Houde rubbed his eyes and said impatiently.

The car didn't drive very far, but the young police officer suddenly said: "Hey, Ma Sir, is that the son of Brother Luo that you often talk about?"

Ma Houde took a look, and found that he really saw Luo Qiu... Luo Qiu was carrying a bag of things at the moment, sitting alone at the bus stop facing the street.

"Wait for me a while." Ma Houde got out of the car.

……

Luo Qiu took off his earphones and turned his head when he felt someone pat his back, showing a surprised expression: "Uncle Ma, why are you here?"

"Oh... I just passed a case, so I came to call you when I saw you." Ma Houde smiled and said, "It's you, why did you come here? You don't need to go to class?"

"No class today." Luo Qiu said casually, "I heard that there is a fruit wholesale market nearby that is not bad, so come here to buy some fresh durians."

Ma Houde sat down, laughed and said: "No wonder I smell a scent from a long distance. Well, Ziling likes to eat durian the most, you have a heart."

"Don't you also like to eat?"

Luo Qiu said softly, and then took out a box of durians that had been peeled and packaged from the bag, "The case is still being processed at this point, you probably haven't eaten yet, eat some."

"I'm not welcome!"

Ma Houde took the box in relief, opened it and ate a piece without thinking, "Yeah! Sweet! Fragrant! I'll buy one later!"

Ma Sir showed a satisfied look, stretched his waist and said: "Well, I feel refreshed all of a sudden, and I was a little dizzy just now! Are you really hungry? Luo Qiu, what you eat is really delicious Just in time!"

As if he had just taken a shower, he felt refreshed all of a sudden, and the feeling of exhaustion and even nausea in the car just now disappeared in an instant.

"Yes, that's fine."

Luo Qiu smiled, stood up and said: "The car is here, I'll go first."

"Oh, come to my house for dinner when you're free! Make sure your aunt makes you your favorite braised lion's head!"

In the car, before closing the door, Boss Luo just turned around and nodded slightly.

……

……

"Ma Sir, we even asked Zhao Ru's landlord. This woman doesn't have many friends, and she basically doesn't go out except for work. No one seems to have seen her have a boyfriend."

"Here we also asked Xiao Liu, another front desk receptionist in the cram school. Zhao Ru hardly talks about personal matters during working hours. She is very serious about her work, and often stays after get off work to complete some work as a receptionist."

"We checked the street video near the apartment where Zhao Ru lived, and found that she went out on the night of the 2nd, 17th, 20th of last month, and the 6th of this month until almost twelve o'clock. come back when."

When he heard this, Ma Houde was stunned and said: "2nd, 17th? 20th? 6th of this month?"

"Yes, it's the time when several students fell from the building, it's exactly the same time!"

At the same time, a police officer hurried over and said directly: "Ma SIR, we found out. This Zhao Ru did indeed buy a train ticket to YN. But we checked her ID card Then I found out that her place of origin is not YN and she has no relatives in YN."

"When did you buy it?"

"Three days ago."

"This...isn't it the day we copied the cram school?" Ma Houde frowned: "When are we leaving?"

"The car at 10 o'clock this afternoon, and... less than [-] minutes away!" The police officer frowned, "Ma Sir, what do you think we should do?"

Ma Houde immediately stood up and said: "What should I do? Just find an excuse to stop the person first! It really made her go to other provinces, and it will be much more troublesome to find her in the future! I bought the train ticket to leave on the same day, this woman The suspicion is getting bigger and bigger! I'm afraid I did something wrong."

Ma Houde didn't even smoke at the moment, but felt that he seemed to be full of energy after eating a box of durians at noon, and he was still full of energy until now.

The people in the bureau quickly prepared the car and were ready to go.Wang Yuechuan, who was staying in this department, just glanced at it indifferently, but there was no movement, and he still sat alone in the conference room.

He took a mobile blackboard, pasted a lot of photos on it, drew intricate lines, and thought about something.

……

Before getting into the car, Ma SIR secretly made a phone call.

"Hey, wife? I shouldn't come back to eat at night... I made soup? I'll come back later and make sure to drink it up! Oh, by the way, if you have time, go to Xinfeng Road. I heard that there is a fruit Wholesale market, the durians there are pretty good... let’s not talk about it, I’m getting in the car.”

Ma SIR happily rolled into the car...and drove.
