monologue

Four or ten minutes later, Chu Xingmu and Qi Shaocheng appeared in the Jin'an Ballroom. Behind them was a thin, tall man wearing glasses, about 10 or 27 years old. If it wasn't for the press card hanging on his chest, no one would Unexpectedly, he was the cynical reporter who wrote [-] to [-] articles on the theme of "criminal police and homicide" in the Qingshi Morning Post, because the cynical reporter's words were much more intense than his own, and he criticized the police more than he praised him. He looked listless and lifeless. After receiving a call from the criminal police team, he arrived as promised. What can Chu Xingmu show him?

Before Chu Xingmu left, he arranged work and asked Tang Zhe to continue to go to Qingshi Children's Hospital to keep an eye on Su Ai's younger sister. Su Ai was dead. According to the investigation, she and her younger sister were both orphans. People, other relatives are more difficult to check.

Ji Qiao was in charge of going to the hospital to interrogate Liu Ziyi. Last time when Chu Xingmu was leaving, he told Liu Ziyi to make a phone call after he thought about it. He would send someone to record his statement. Liu Ziyi's statement was one of the key pieces of evidence.

Lang Lang was in charge of going to Huang Qing's company to check on Tang Yi who hadn't come back from a business trip. This person seemed to have disappeared on a business trip. Chu Xingmu asked him to contact him to ask him some questions, but all the calls he made were lost. Instead of reporting to Zhang Yu on a regular basis, Chu Xingmu planned to contact the public security bureau where he was on a business trip to help arrest him.

Now that this case has been investigated, the number of people and lives involved has doubled. Chu Xingmu was anxious to get angry, and he was so aggrieved.

After Jiang Fu contacted the police, he waited for them in the ballroom. Chu Xingmu turned to He Shu and said, "Reporter He, how much did you have for breakfast today?"

He Shu didn't understand, so he looked at him, thinking that Chu Xingmu wanted to show him the victim's body, or he was afraid that he would vomit after seeing it, so he said, "Captain Chu, don't worry about me, you can just work."

Chu Xingmu thought to himself, is this reducing his sense of existence?It’s good to silently add something to the inaction police.

After seeing a few people, the waiter at the door went in and called Jiang Fu. Jiang Fu had explained it early in the morning, and after a while, Jiang Fu came out to greet them in person.

"Captain Chu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I've locked Su Ai's dressing room. I still have business to do today." Jiang Fu said.

Chu Xingmu looked a little depressed when he saw him. Su Ai was just a dancer, and she didn't die in the ballroom. Jiang Fu's reaction made Chu Xingmu wonder if he knew something.

"Boss Jiang, don't worry, just look at a few things and don't need to mobilize the crowd. Let me introduce someone first." He pointed to He Shu and said, "This is He Shu, a reporter from the Guangming Morning Post. As you know, the media will follow up on the case every now and then. It's convenient for you."

Jiang Fu said with a smile: "It's natural, please invite some of you."

Chu Xingmu and others followed Jiang Fu into the ballroom. When passing by the bar, the female bartender who was wiping wine glasses in front of the bar watched Chu Xingmu go in and almost broke the glass in her hand. This person is not Su Ai's Cousin?When did you become a police officer?The female bartender quickly recalled their conversation yesterday, and was relieved after making sure that she hadn't said anything that shouldn't be said.

Several people entered through the fire exit behind the dance floor. After reaching the third floor, Jiang Fu turned into a corridor again. The light in the corridor was very dim. Chu Xingmu looked at the names of the rooms on both sides of the corridor and said, "Boss Jiang's The ballroom is pretty big."

Jiang Fu, who was leading the way, didn't look back, Chu Xingmu could hear the smile in his tone, he said: "It's just for fun, the dance hall is also high risk, but it's just a few friends who often join in, and the business is not bad when you come and go."

How many friends?The first thing Chu Xingmu thought of was the two brothers of the Wen family. They stopped talking. After passing by two or three wine storage rooms, Jiang Fu stopped in front of a room with a lounge. Then, he took out the key He unlocked the door, pushed the door open first and went in.

Chu Xingmu and others followed closely behind. The style of the room was quite different from the outside. A large window was opened on the wall facing the door, and curtains were hung on the window. Judging by the furnishings and style of the room, this place does not look like a makeup shop. The room looks like a bedroom, especially Su Ai's house, even the curtains are exactly the same as Su Ai's house.

Jiang Fu saw Chu Xingmu's doubts, and explained: "She doesn't go home very often, and she doesn't want to be crowded in a room with other people, so I asked someone to clean up this room for her to live in."

Qi Shaocheng looked at the things on the dressing table and said, "Boss Jiang is too kind to the employees."

Chu Xingmu gave Qi Shaocheng a blank look. What he meant was that Chu Xingmu squeezed his labor force every day and often deducted wages. Capitalists are more humane than him.

"Last night, the deputy manager of the ballroom said that there was a cell phone ringing in Su Ai's room. After Su Ai's death, all the relics were confiscated by your police, including the key here. He and I took the spare key and went up to take a look. In her A mobile phone was found in the drawer of the dressing table." Jiang Fu passed Qi Shaocheng and pulled out the bottom drawer of the dressing table, which was exactly the same as the mobile phone that Chu Xingmu and the others brought back to the Public Security Bureau.

After Chu Xingmu took out his gloves and put them on, he took out the mobile phone from the drawer. After pressing the power button, the screen of the mobile phone lit up. The mobile phone was not locked. Chu Xingmu looked through the call records, address book and text messages. There are only contact records with the same person, and there are no notes, only a string of mobile phone numbers.

"The two of us didn't touch the phone after we found it. The ringtone was just the alarm clock tone that was set in advance. After it finished ringing, I closed the drawer." Jiang Fu took the initiative to explain the details clearly.

Holding the mobile phone, Chu Xingmu frowned and pursed his mouth tightly. The text message he saw in the outbox just now was the exact same text content that Wen Ti had shown him.

Seeing Chu Xingmu's expression, Qi Shaocheng didn't speak easily, and that He Shu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but just followed behind them, and didn't hinder them from investigating the case, and didn't even ask any questions.

Chu Xingmu dialed the number, and when the phone beeped for the third time, someone picked it up, and the other party hesitated: "Hello?"

This voice was very familiar to Chu Xingmu. From the time he received Huang Qing's case until now, this person has met him almost every day, and there have been frictions of all sizes.

"Wen Ti." Chu Xingmu called out, and the other party was silent for a while and hung up the phone.

Jiang Fu looked at Chu Xingmu in surprise and asked, "Wen Ti?"

"There is only one contact person, and it was Wen Ti who answered the call, and he also called the police to say that Su Ai was dead." Chu Xingmu said, and then he put the phone into the evidence bag that Qi Shaocheng handed over.

"What else is there besides the mobile phone?" Qi Shaocheng asked Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu turned and walked to the window sill, and said: "This room is only Su Ai who comes in and out the most. I come in once in a while. She never had flowers in her room before. Recently, she suddenly had a pot of sunflowers. She was sick and dying. Yesterday The deputy manager was about to throw the flowers out, but saw a notepad behind the flowerpot, the flowerpot had already been thrown away, but the notepad was still here."

Jiang Fu opened the curtains, and the notepad was placed on the window sill. It was a small book with a blue cover, a little bigger than a folding wallet, and it was usually used to write down phone numbers or as notes.

"There is also a credit card under her pillow. I found it when I asked the cleaner to clean up the room. She gave it to me." Jiang Fu took out a credit card from his wallet, Chu Xingmu I took it.

Qi Shaocheng saw it and said, "Is this card exactly the same as the one we brought back?"

"That's all I found," Jiang Fu said.

"These are important clues, sorry for your trouble, if you find anything else, just contact us at any time." Chu Xingmu said and strode out.

Qi Shaocheng and He Shu followed her step by step. Jiang Fu stood at the door and watched the three of them go downstairs. He said, "Please find out the murderer and give her an explanation."

Chu Xingmu said: "Yes."

Two mobile phones, two credit cards, and a notepad are much more useful than what I found at Suai's house.

Jiang Fu returned to the room again, and took out a group photo from another private storage box of Su Ai. In the photo, Su Ai was wearing a refreshing school uniform, holding Jiang Fu, who was much taller than her, on the other side of Su Ai There was also a thin boy standing there, and the three of them were smiling happily. There was a string of numbers behind the photo, which was the date when the photo was taken. After that, Su Ai, who looked like a student, faded away until she put on heavy makeup on her face and put on a deliberate disguise With a smile, Jiang Fu clutched the photo tightly and walked out of the room.

After coming out of the Golden Shore Ballroom, Chu Xingmu took the two of them to Qingshi Children's Hospital non-stop.

Tang Zhe went to the supermarket to buy some food before coming to the hospital. He thought that children should like snacks. Su Ai's younger sister has been staying in the hospital for a long time. The doctors and nurses take special care of this little girl. Come with her.

After consulting her doctor in charge, Tang Zhe picked out the food she could eat. It was past ten o'clock in the morning, when the hospital was busy, and patients and nurses were hurrying back and forth in the corridor. Tang Zhe found it with her things. In Xiaotang's ward, there is only Xiaotang in the ward. The nurse should have gone out. Tang Zhe took a deep breath, opened the door and went in.

Xiaotang heard the door opening, looked at Tang Zhe suspiciously, and asked in a childish voice: "Big brother, did you go to the wrong room?"

Tang Zhe smiled quickly and said, "Xiaotang, right? I didn't go wrong, I came here to see you."

Xiaotang tilted her head and looked at him puzzled, and asked, "But I haven't seen you."

Few people came to see her in the hospital. Except for her sister and the nurse, there were only two people who visited her. One was Wen Ti and the other was Jiang Fu. Jiang Fu sometimes came with Su Ai.

"I'm here for the first time, and one of your uncles asked me to come." Tang Zhe put the things on the table, approached Xiaotang, and said while standing beside the hospital bed.

Xiao Tang, who was wearing a hat, suddenly realized, "Oh! It's Uncle Jiang Fu, right? He also asked others to come here before."

Tang Zhe wondered, if Xiaotang and Jiang Fu knew each other, could it be that Su Ai and Jiang Fu were simply employed?

Xiaotang asked again: "Big brother, do you know when my sister will come? I haven't seen her for three days. Is she busy?"

For some reason, Tang Zhe suddenly felt panicked. He couldn't tell Xiaotang that Suai was dead, could he?She was only eight years old and was still sick. Tang Zhe was stupid and couldn't make up any deceitful reasons, so he had to change the subject and ask Xiaotang some questions that interested her.

"Your name is Xiaotang, and I'm also called Xiaotang. Don't we have a great destiny?"

"Which sugar are you?"

"It's not as sweet as yours, hahaha."

Chu Xingmu was lying on the glass window of the ward door and looking inside, Xiaotang looked straight at the door, Tang Zhe turned around, saw that it was Chu Xingmu, said a few words with Xiaotang and came out.

Several people stood and talked at the window at the end of the corridor, avoiding getting in the way and being chased away by the nurse.

"How is it?" Chu Xingmu asked.

Tang Zhe said angrily: "She asked me about her sister just now, and I couldn't go on."

Thinking of the few things Su Ai left behind in Jin'an, Chu Xingmu said: "Ask her, has her sister given her anything recently, and have they lost anything recently?"

Tang Zhe fully agreed, and Chu Xingmu asked again: "Is the bone marrow transplant matched?"

Tang Zhe shook his head: "I have asked the doctor, but not yet."

Xiao Tang and Su Ai are not biological sisters.

After Tang Zhe returned to the ward, Xiao Tang asked curiously: "Big Brother, do the people outside know you?"

Tang Zhe said with a smile: "Two friends also came to the hospital to see friends and said hello."

Xiaotang laughed, and she carefully took out a paper crane from under the pillow. The paper crane was folded out of sugar paper, and it would shine brightly in the sun. Give this to my sister, last time my sister said that if I learn how to origami cranes, she will buy me a cake to eat."

Tang Zhe looked at the candy paper thousand paper cranes with a frown, took it with complicated emotions, and asked her: "What cake do you want to eat? I will bring it to you when I come next time. Don't tell your sister, so you can eat two cakes." A cake!"

Xiaotang opened her eyes wide and asked, "Really? I like matcha cakes the most. When I lived with my sister on Anhe Road, she often bought them for me."

Tang Zhe became alert after hearing the word "Anhe Road", and he quickly asked, "Have you ever lived in Anhe Road?"

Xiao Tang blinked her eyes and replied, "Yes."

Tang Zhe asked again: "Is your medical record here?"

"what is that?"

"A small white booklet, which records your treatment records. You must be bored after being hospitalized for such a long time."

Xiaotang lowered her head and said sullenly, "I don't know. I want to go to school and play with everyone."

Tang Zhe couldn't help but patted Xiaotang's head, and said firmly: "It will definitely!"
