Mao Xiaoyan lives on the fifth floor. The house is not big, but it has everything it needs. It should have been well organized. This can be seen from the kitchen. The kitchen is small, but the things are neatly organized.

Everything except the kitchen is now completely unrecognizable.The living room was messed up when the police came.The bedroom was a mess after the incident. Looking at the photos of the scene taken by the police, things were turned upside down and thrown all over the floor. It is not so messy now, because most of the things were taken by the police for inspection.

Everyone looked around.

Bu Huan held on to the door of the bathroom, and looked inside, "I can't see anything. How about I go talk to the neighbors?"

The sound insulation of this kind of old building is not very good, the neighbors may have heard something.Of course, the police have already asked, but it doesn't prevent them from asking again.

Ye Lai said: "A lot of people here should be rented by the group. There are so many people. Maybe someone really saw and heard something."

"Group renting is illegal, they probably don't like dealing with the police," You Duo said.

Han Bin said: "High-risk groups."

Sex trafficking is also illegal.

The occupation and residence chosen by Mao Xiaoyan brought many obstacles to the investigation.

"Is the group rental okay?" Ye Lai said, "Although there are many people, our law and order is actually good. There are petty thefts, but robbery and intentional injuries are relatively rare."

"In terms of safety, it is not as good as a regular rented house, and there are hidden dangers in the use of electricity and gas. Isn't there a fire that burns people to death?"

"Normal rental houses also have fires that burn people to death."

"That's true, but there are many renters in the group, and more people will die if they can't escape after the fire."

"Well, it is."

"What law does group renting violate?" Han Bin asked.

"It's probably the house lease law." You Duo said.

"What about sex workers?"

"Public Security Management Punishment Law."

"Isn't it criminal law?"

"No."

"Breaking the criminal law is a crime." Han Bin said, "Group renting and sex trafficking are not crimes."

"Well. Ordinary prostitution and whoring are not considered crimes, but organizing prostitution and forcing others to prostitute are crimes." You Duo said.

"Prostitution with underage girls is definitely a crime," Ye Lai added.

"Well, raping a girl under the age of [-] is considered a crime of rape and punished severely."

"Necessary. And things like spreading sexually transmitted diseases are certainly crimes."

"That's for sure." Bu Huan continued, "Prostitution and whoring are illegal but decriminalized. It's very interesting. But there is no way. The people have this demand. In order to maintain social stability, we can only be so vague."

Ye Lai said: "What if it is simply legalized? Will it be better than it is now?"

You Duo thought for a while, "There are legal ones in foreign countries, such as the Netherlands. But the results are not as good as expected. AIDS has not been reduced, the scale of child prostitution is expanding, and violence against sex workers is also increasing. The underworld forces are expanding, drug trafficking, trading Problems such as population cannot be avoided.”

Ye Lai said helplessly: "Isn't this 'the Tao is one foot tall, the devil is one foot high'?"

"Problems can never be solved, and there will always be new problems." Cheng Jin said, "There will always be new cases."

"Okay, let's stop chatting and work." Bu Huan stretched, "I'm going to find my neighbors, who will come with you?"

"Go." Ye Lai pushed Bu Huan.

Yang Simi stood by the window looking out, Cheng Jin walked over and looked out.

The distant view outside the window is high-rise buildings. The closer place is a low-rise old building, and the closer place is some dark gray old roofs. The strange thing is that they are covered with all kinds of garbage, most of which are beverage bottles and various plastic packaging. People who should live in high places litter the garbage. The garbage on the road is cleaned by cleaners, and the garbage on the roof is left unattended, so it becomes a garbage dump.

Cheng Jin frowned, "Why is it so dirty?"

"Like a slum." Yang Simi said.

"Overseas?"

"Yeah." Yang Simi lowered his eyes, seemingly saddened.

Cheng Jin held Yang Simi's hand, approached him, and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Yang Simi held Cheng Jin's hand with his backhand and touched the tattoo on his finger. This person was thinking too much, but this was exactly what Yang Simi wanted. He tilted his head slightly and rubbed against Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin kissed him again.

……

Bu Huan and Ye Lai knocked on a door on the same floor, and a thick, oily middle-aged man opened the door and looked at them, "Who are you looking for?"

"Can I find you?"

"Huh?" The middle-aged man looked at him warily.

"We want to inquire about something, is it convenient to go in and talk?" Bu Huan looked into the house, it was a group rental house, it was messy and dirty.

The wall was dark, I don't know if it was smoked or what.There are three bunk beds next to the wall in the living room, which is probably the same situation in the bedroom.The table is dark and shiny, covered with sundries, the clothes on the back of the chair are piled high, and many shoes are littered on the ground. The smell can be smelled at the door.

Two other men walked out of the bedroom. They were about thirty or so years old. One was tall and the other was short. Is it? What's the matter?"

Bu Huan said: "I want to talk to you guys..."

"We are writers for the magazine. We came out to collect materials. We want to ask you to know something, and we will pay you for the manuscript!" Ye Lai pushed Bu Huan away a little, and looked at the three men in the door with a smile.

The three men looked at each other, "What magazine?"

"We usually contribute to story clubs and bosom friends, you see?"

"Oh, I've seen it." The men relaxed a lot, and the hands that closed the door also relaxed.

Several men are cooks and they work in the same restaurant.

This group rental house is actually a dormitory rented by the hotel to its employees.

They knew Mao Xiaoyan and what she did, but they only found out after her death. They spoke with disdain for her, saying that she dressed up like a monster every day, and she was not a serious person at first glance.

Several men also made fun of each other, "I said she was a chicken, but you still said she didn't look like it."

"You can't tell from the outside. Aren't those white-collar workers who come to our restaurant also dressed like this?"

"That's right. Didn't everyone say that today's ladies are all dressed like college students?"

……

Ye Lai and Bu Huan tried their best to direct the topic to the things they wanted to know, asking Mao Xiaoyan if her business was going well, if anyone came to her and so on.

"She doesn't seem to have brought anyone back, she still has to face."

"I remember that her younger siblings came to play once, probably last summer. I saw it. You said, what is wrong with her, she is a chicken, and she doesn't know how to give her younger siblings a good start."

"I saw a man come to her once. It was a man with red hair dyed on his forehead. It should be at the end of last year. I remember that the store was very busy at that time, but I was not feeling well. , I had a severe stomachache, so I had to ask for leave and came back, and then at the stairs, I saw that red hair knocking on the door of her house."

"There is also a woman who often comes to her. Judging by her attire, she should be a chicken just like her."

……

After collecting the materials, Ye Lai and Bu Huan went back and told Cheng Jin about the situation.

Cheng Jin said, "Is her family still here?"

"I'll go and ask." Ye Lai called someone from the Public Security Bureau.

The reply I got was that when Mao Xiaoyan had an accident, her father came over, but because he was a farmer who had never been to the city a few times, he didn't understand anything, he couldn't help anything, and he was needed at home, so he After staying here for a few days, I went back first.

"That red-haired man should be easier to find." You Duo said.

Ye Lai said: "I'm going to make a phone call and ask Xiao Liang if the man she saw with Mao Xiaoyan had red hair on his head."

Cheng Jin nodded, "Ask."

After calling and asking, Xiaoliang was not sure, she said: "Maybe it's dyed hair, because many people have dyed hair, I'm used to it, so I don't pay attention to it, and they just pass by my shop, I don't care about it." I will stare at them specially, and I will take a look when I see it, and forget it if I don’t see it.”

Seeing her explaining so much, Ye Lai smiled and said, "I know you really want to help me, thank you."

"...It's nothing." Xiao Liang said, "I mean...you're welcome. I'll ask the people in the store to see if anyone saw something."

"very good, thank you!"

"Thank you for..."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Lai shook his head at Cheng Jin, "She said that there are too many people dyeing their hair around her, and she didn't pay attention to the hair."

"Didn't that person only dye a rub of red hair? If the angle is wrong, she might not be able to see the rub of hair." You Duo said.

Han Bin said: "Don't worry about it, what we have to do is to find this red hair."

"Just go to the place where Mao Xiaoyan works, boss, let's go?" Bu Huan looked at Cheng Jin.

"Go." Cheng Jin looked at the time, "Go eat first."

Dinner was eaten at a restaurant recommended by Tang Shi.

During the meal, Cheng Jin and Tang Shi chatted about some previous cases.

Tang Shi listened with gusto, "It seems that your life is not boring."

"Fortunately, it's not enough to require you to provide fun. Why did you come to find fault that time before? Because of Xie Qingshan?" Cheng Jin peeled shrimp for Yang Simi while talking.

Yang Simi was waiting to be fed, the kind of feeding that was brought to his mouth.

Tang Shi stroked his short hair stubble, "I said who was injured?"

Yang Simi said: "He. But his hand is not broken."

"..." Tang Shi nodded convincingly, "You can." He sighed, and then switched back to the previous topic, "I didn't find any fault with you, I just wanted to get in touch with you, and it happened that Brother Qingshan went to their place. Just to tease you."

"But Qingshan doesn't seem to be familiar with you?"

"He is more familiar with Daxian, so it's even more funny."

"Do you really have a feud with Daxian?" Bu Huan gossiped.

"It's not during the holidays, but I used to think he was very annoying, but not now, he is sick, we have to be considerate of the sick." Tang Shi laughed.

At that time, what made Chang Changsheng uncomfortable?It's that kind of lazy demeanor that is particularly annoying, like nostrils growing on the forehead, and doesn't care about anyone except myself, so fucking bad at being a human being, he must be sick.

As a person who always has to be mentioned together with him, Tang Shi felt that he was very disrespectful.Respect your opponent or colleague, this should be the basic quality of a normal person.

But after getting acquainted, Tang Shi found that Chang Changsheng was not the kind of person he thought. He was not sick, but really sick, and he didn't care about others—or maybe he just didn't care about others, but Tang Shi was already able to accept this. up.
