After wearing it back, I am in the Shura field every day

After a day of intensive investigation, Tang Yanchu and others returned to the case analysis room at 18:24 in the evening.

In order to check and summarize the information as quickly as possible, four computers were placed in front of Sun Xuechen and Li Yueming, and three mobile whiteboards were also pulled over to facilitate posting important clues.

"Xiyue Video Game City", "Pingning Hotel Chain", "Small Iron Factory", "Shihui Supermarket", "Laosun Butcher Shop"...

In addition to investigating Xu Youguang's life, they focused on investigating these places.

Tang Yanchu focused on the three words "Xiyue Video Game City", "Pingning Hotel Chain" and "Laosun Butcher's" with a solemn expression.

Xue Zhuolin scratched his hair and said: "Xu Youguang's life is ordinary, he graduated from high school, did not enter university, and his family members are all in the countryside."

"I used to work in a small iron factory, but I was fired because I was lazy and slippery. Now I am unemployed, and my monthly income is not much. Sometimes I rely on money from my family to live and rent a house."

"There are almost no friends, and there are very few people who interact with each other."

The content of the above investigation was informed by Xu Youguang's landlord and neighbors. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but when they continued to investigate...

"Xiyue Video Game City is the place Xu Youguang goes to the most."

"According to the manager of the video game city, Xu Youguang has issued an exclusive membership card, which can be used to exchange game coins at the counter for free."

Lao Liu put the information from the investigation on the table, and said, "I checked their financial system, and Xu Youguang would play two games almost every day."

"If the game currency he used for a month is converted into money, according to his income, he can't afford it at all, and he has even seriously exceeded his budget."

Duan Yu: "Laosun's butcher shop is also a place where Xu Youguang often goes."

"According to the neighbors around, Sun Zhi is one of the few friends of Xu Youguang. Although the age gap between the two is relatively large, they have a good relationship. Sometimes Sun Zhi will send him some fish and meat that cannot be sold in the store."

"However, some people said that Xu Youguang often went to Sun Zhi's store to get fish for nothing, and his attitude was taken for granted, and he never paid for it."

Xue Zhuolin continued: "As for the Pingning hotel chain."

"Three months ago, Xu Youguang's rented house leaked water, and the sewer pipe was blocked again. Before it was repaired, he lived in the hotel for nearly two weeks. During this period, he did not pay any fees."

Li Yueming looked strange and poked his head from behind the computer.

"In these three places, Lin Mo lives in a chain hotel in Pingning. He often goes to Xiyue Video Game City but never spends money. He only buys meat from Laosun's butcher shop..."

When he and Yu Zhou investigated at the beginning, they only felt that Lin Mo's behavior was ordinary, so ordinary that there was nothing worth noting, and now they compare carefully...

There was a sudden shudder on his back, his scalp was numb, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Just like a kaleidoscope, although it looks ordinary on the outside, inside it is the transmutation of polygons, overlapping images...every time you rotate, you can get an unprecedented new composition.

As for the pattern drawn by Lin Mogou, the corners and corners of the pattern fit into Xu Youguang's spider web by chance.

"Could it be that he has used his own method to remind us who the murderer is from the very beginning?" Xue Zhuolin couldn't believe it.

He scratched his hair and shouted, "Ah—!"

"But how on earth did he know?!"

"It's not really a magic stick, is it?! Can you pinch and count?!"

The faces of the other people were also indescribable, upset, with a feeling of extreme absurdity.

"Boss!"

At this moment, Sun Xuechen raised his head solemnly and said, "In addition to the main store in Beijing, the Pingning Hotel Chain also has branches in counties J and F."

He projected the content on the computer on the big screen: "Among them, County J is the county where the victim Deng Wan is located."

"She is in her third year of high school, and the school is only 400 meters away from the Pingning Hotel Chain. This street is also the favorite place for high school students to shop."

"County F is the county where the victim, Hao Qiu, is located."

"She has dropped out of school and worked in a restaurant before her death. Coincidentally, the restaurant is next to the Pingning Hotel Chain."

The pictures on the screen were continuously displayed, and the light and shadow changed, reflecting Tang Yanchu's eyes incomparably deep.

Even the sound of breathing in the analysis room can be clearly heard.

Sun Xuechen took a deep breath and continued: "The victim, Sun Ya, and Li Xiangyao are in County H, and they are studying in the same high school."

"Although there is no branch of the Pingning hotel chain in County H, I checked Xiyue Video Game City and found that the place where Video Game City purchased equipment and cooperated with manufacturers and suppliers is in County H."

The layered and entangled spider webs finally sorted out a clear thread.

"Boss, this is definitely not a coincidence!" Duan Yu pursed his lips and frowned.

Tang Yanchu said in a deep voice: "Who is the person in charge of Pingning Hotel Chain and Xiyue Video Game City?"

Old Liu: "I asked the manager of the video game city, and he said that the person in charge of all affairs in the Xiyue video game city is his boss' son, Zheng Liang."

Xue Zhuolin: "The legal representative of Pingning Hotel Chain is Zhao Yongye. I asked the front desk, and the person in charge of the hotel is Zhao Yongye's son, Zhao Pengze."

Duan Yu murmured: "Young, rich and rich... What is their relationship with Xu Youguang?"

"And Sun Zhi, he is the oldest, in his 40s, dull and reticent, and how did he get in touch with these people?"

Tang Yanchu kept writing and drawing lines on the analysis board.

Xu Youguang's social life is pitiful, and he only has a little contact with Sun Zhi on the surface, but there are traces of hotels and video game malls appearing in his life all the time.

Now that the intersection is not visible, just push forward.

"What's the name of the high school Xu Youguang attended?" Tang Yanchu asked in a deep voice.

Xue Zhuolin: "Eastern Province No. [-] Middle School."

"Boss, you mean they are probably high school classmates?"

"Then Sun Zhi..."

Tang Yanchu glanced at the time, it was already 22:56.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Eastern Province No. [-] Middle School to investigate, and..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Zhou knocked on the door suddenly and came in, "Team Tang...someone reported the crime..."

After leaving the police station, Lin Mo went directly to the breakfast shop next to the hotel. The breakfast shop sold steamed buns and pancakes in the afternoon. After more than 20 minutes, he came out of the breakfast shop again.

Soon after, the boss and his wife hurriedly closed the shop and drove away.

At 22:10, I came to the police station to report the incident.

The proprietress cried: "I haven't seen Xingjia's child for several days. Her father has been drinking for a long time because of the divorce, so he doesn't care about her."

"I called and asked once before. Her father said that she had gone to a classmate's house, so I didn't ask any more... I went to check today and found that she hadn't been back for a long time."

"Her father was so drunk that he never paid attention."

"Later we went to Xingjia's classmate's house in person, and her classmate said that Xingjia had only lived here for one day before leaving..."

Behind her were two middle-aged men standing slumped.

One of them, smelling of alcohol, was supported by the owner of the breakfast shop. His face was pale, he looked guilty, covered his face in pain, and said, "I'm sorry for my daughter, it's because I didn't take good care of her..."

Yu Zhou was on duty with two policemen at the time, and said, "The missing person is Liu Xingjia. He is currently on leave from school and has been missing for eight days."

"That is to say, you haven't paid attention to this girl for more than a week, and you are only now reporting the crime?"

The three lowered their heads in shame, especially Father Liu.

He couldn't hide his sadness on his face, wept bitterly, and muttered that it was all his fault.

The proprietress said: "We were negligent, if someone reminded us..."

Yu Zhou asked casually, "Who reminded me?"

After hearing the description from the proprietress, he stood up abruptly and said, "You mean the little bald guy who goes to your shop for breakfast every day?!"

The proprietress nodded.

Yu Zhou's thoughts changed, it was related to Lin Mo, he didn't dare to treat this disappearance as an ordinary case, so he hurriedly reported it to Tang Yanchu.

Duan Yu suddenly said: "Boss, those five little straw people!"

"Four victims, does the fifth one refer to Liu Xingjia?!"

"I think eight|nine is not far from ten." Xue Zhuolin said.

Tang Yanchu immediately turned around and said: "Now draw up the case, if Liu Xingjia is the fifth victim, Xu Youguang, Sun Zhi, Zhao Pengze, and Zheng Liang are the four suspects, infer the possible crime location, the place of imprisonment..."

"Old Liu, you and Duan Yu should call the principal of Eastern Provincial No. [-] Middle School to find out whether Xu Youguang, Zhao Pengze, and Zheng Liang are in the same grade as soon as possible, and call up the files."

"In addition, ask whether Sun Zhi has ever worked in No. [-] Middle School."

"Yes, boss." Lao Liu and Duan Yu stood up and said.

"The rest of the people searched for the place where Sun Zhi purchased goods, where Zhao Pengze and Zheng Liang used to go...the student printed out a map..."

"Yes, boss."

........................

At 23:58, it's almost time to meet the devil.

Lin Mo walked out of the hotel and entered an Internet cafe open at night.

Squeezing out her dimples, she smiled and said, "Please open me a private room for the night."
