Tu Fei shook his head, "No, please open the door, let's chat."

There were two full garbage bags piled up at the door of the room, and Tu Fei almost kicked them over.

The room is simple, obviously a partition room, and there are only simple tables and chairs in the room.There are white garbage bags on the corner of the table, the most conspicuous ones are two bags of instant noodles, and the white empty lunch box stuffed underneath is bulging, and flies occasionally land on it.

The wall has been turned yellow, and the dilapidated New Year picture shows two naive boys who spread money, and the year is written on it: 1995 is auspicious in the Year of the Pig.

In the morning, the room was sunny. Tu Fei was standing in front of the window. Li Li brought a glass of water and put it on the table. Before Tu Fei could ask, she took the initiative to say, "I heard he died."

"Who?" Tu Fei stared at Li Li, his pale face covered with fine lines, Li Li squinted at Tu Fei, and said in a bad tone, "Didn't you come here for him?"

Tu Fei squinted, and saw that Li Li's cheeks had a tinge of bluish yellow, as if the blood had not completely dissipated after being beaten.

"Well, since you know, please tell me about your affairs." Tu Fei didn't mention it, and Li Li didn't mention her name, and called him "bad guy" every time. It's hard to believe that he is an old friend. , more like an enemy.

"A person like him deserves to die, and it's better to die, so as not to waste social resources." Li Li spat, cursing He Junxiong without focus, but Tu Fei interrupted her, "Li Li, how did you know her? "

"Just..." Li Li paused, keeping her head down all the time, "I met him when I was part-time job."

"Part-time job? Specifically?"

"I clean up at the bar."

"How did they get together?" Tu Fei didn't take her eyes off Li Li, she noticed Li Li's body shaking, and suddenly became emotional, "I'm blind!"

"..." Tu Fei remained silent, and after Li Li scolded angrily, he asked, "Did you break up because of money?"

The poor can fall out, except for love is money, and the rich can be involved in the struggle for power.

"He loves to gamble, and he took away all my money and lost it all." Li Li's voice suddenly choked up, she rubbed the corners of her eyes, and said with sobs, "That's the money I've saved for a long time, and that rotten person took it all away. "Li Li cried bitterly, and began to curse again, she deserves it.

Tu Fei pursed her lips, she didn't see any tissue and could only comfort her, "Li Li, don't cry, one size is one size, he died, we still need to investigate the cause of his death, if you are lucky, see if you can Find the place where he used to gamble, and gambling is illegal now, you should know?"

"Really?" Li Li's teary eyes filled with hope, "Is there any chance of getting my money back?"

"How much money were you taken from?"

Li Li raised two fingers, "2 yuan, exactly 2 yuan."

Tu Fei's annual salary adds up to around 2 yuan. It is not a small amount for ordinary people to save [-] yuan without a small business. "Li Li, let's take it step by step and don't give up a glimmer of hope."

Tu Fei gave Li Li false hope, Li Li's attitude became obviously positive, and her speech speed also became faster.

Tu Fei generally understood that Li Li did go to Hualuxe Hotel that night, and He Junxiong said that he got rich and could share part of it with Li Li.

Li Lixin thought it was true, when she went to the hotel, He Junxiong never mentioned the money matter, and wanted to do that kind of thing to anger Li Li.

"He was drinking at the time, and I thought he might have lied to me. I was going to leave, but he took out a box, and there was indeed money in it!" Li Li was emotional, and exaggeratedly drew a big circle in the air with her hands , "I have never seen so much money in my life."

Li Li doesn't want to have any relationship with He Junxiong anymore, she wants to draw a line with He Junxiong after taking the money, and never contact him again.

He Junxiong clung to Li Li, and finally threatened to die, "He said, if you don't want me, I will die in front of you."

Li Li naturally didn't believe it. He Junxiong was fierce and timid all the time, "I always thought that others were honest, so I didn't guard against him at the beginning, so he had the opportunity to take my money!" The topic lingered, Li Li never forgets her 2 yuan.

Li Li refused, He Junxiong got angry after drinking, and got the money back, Li Li left angrily.

"After I left, he still threatened me." Li Li took out a dilapidated pager from the drawer, and there was only one message, which was sent by He Junxiong: You will regret it.

For a moment, Tu Fei thought, should she change her mind? Could it be that He Junxiong wanted to threaten Li Li, but unexpectedly committed suicide by mistake?

"Do you remember when you left?" Tu Fei asked while lowering his head to write notes. Li Li sniffed and said hoarsely, "It's around 12 o'clock, I can't remember."

Tu Fei secretly tapped the number 12, which is about the same time as Xing Sibo confirmed from Que Hualuxe Hotel.

Tu Fei checked the time when the pager received the message, and it was 1:25 in the morning.

Li Li approached Tu Fei and asked tremblingly, "Police, can I really get my money back?"

Tu Fei raised her eyes, and noticed Li Li's neck under the high collar with bruises from a close distance, she swept it away, lowered her head and continued to ask: "Did you do it that night?"

Li Li froze in place. She cleared her throat and hummed, "Does he always hit you?"

"I didn't before, but sometimes I do when I drink." Li Li's voice was very soft, as if she was lost in memory, "I apologize to me every time after beating, huh." Li Li sneered, "God can't stand him dead. .”

Li Li felt very happy about He Junxiong's death. Tu Fei observed Li Li's figure from the corner of her eye. She may have hated He Junxiong out of love, but the possibility of killing He Junxiong is too small, no matter in terms of height and figure Li Li couldn't do it at all.

Tu Fei stared at Li Li's movement of smoothing her hair, and a few fine hairs fell out, "You just asked me if there was anyone downstairs?"

Li Li said ah, as if being reminded, she immediately went to bed, lay down in front of the window, looked down cautiously, and said in a low voice: "In the past two days, I found a few strange young people downstairs. The last time I passed by, they were all staring at me, and they were only standing downstairs in my house, I was scared, and I hadn’t gone out for two days.”

The old building, the old community, are also full of elderly people. Li Li has lived here for three years and has long been familiar with the residents nearby. She said firmly, "It's a stranger, it must not be from the community. If you don't believe me, just wait."

Li Li looked nervous, as if she was frightened, Tu Fei stood around the end of the bed and stood by the window, "When will they show up?"

"Not necessarily." Li Li replied slowly, "But it's mostly in the evening, by the way." Li Li suddenly remembered something, "Before that rotten person died, my door was knocked on, and I asked who it was and no one said anything. , I dare not open the door."

Tu Fei looked at the time, it was 11 am, "Li Li, do you want to go out?"

Li Li suddenly turned her head to look at Tu Fei, her eyes were filled with uncertainty, Tu Fei smiled, "You haven't gone out for two days, you must be running out of ammunition and food at home, right?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Li Li's face, and she said nothing in a low voice. Tu Fei put away the pen and paper, "Let's go out to eat, and I'll accompany you to buy something. By the way, tell me where he gambles. If If you know the location, it would be better if you can take me there."

Li Li drew with her fingertips on the gray and white window sill, "Go and eat, I'll take you to that casino after eating, but it's only open at night."

"Let's go." Tu Fei said briskly: "You have provided me with a lot of information today, so I thank you and treat you to a meal."

When Li Li hesitated, Tu Fei took out 100 yuan from his pocket, "If you don't want to eat with me, you can buy it yourself, I'll treat you."

Li Li shook her head immediately, she really had no money, and the salary day hadn't arrived yet, so she thought about bearing it and passed it.

But in the face of hunger, people are not as strong as they think. Li Li's stomach growled, and she lowered her head with a blushing face.

Li Li washed and changed her clothes. Tu Fei picked up the strands of hair that had fallen on the floor. The length was similar to the ones she found in the hotel, and she secretly put them away.

Standing at the door, Tu Fei flipped through the chat records with Shen Qingqian on the phone, hesitating whether to send a message, and finally put away the phone for fear of affecting her work, Shen Qingqian would definitely contact her after the operation.

Li Li went downstairs and subconsciously looked downstairs at her house. There were cigarette butts everywhere, "Look, they all smoked it." Li Li's voice trembled, and Tu Fei nodded, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm here, you Don't be afraid."

Li Li secretly looked at the female detective who was a head taller than her. She was very good-looking, and she was a bit fierce when she didn't smile, but she looked very safe.

Tu Fei and Li Li had just entered a Northeast restaurant when her cell phone rang, and Shen Qingqian sent a message: I just came out of the operating room, have you had lunch yet?

Tu Fei asked Li Li to order, and she chatted with Shen Qingqian on WeChat, Tu Fei: I'll eat right away, where's Auntie?

Shen Qingqian: I'm waiting, are you yourself?

Tu Fei looked up at Li Li who was looking at the menu, and she deliberately wrote: No, me and a young lady.

Shen Qingqian: Young lady?Do I know you?

Tu Fei: I don’t know.

Shen Qingqian: You couldn't be the one who invited her to dinner, right?

Tu Fei: Auntie is so smart!

Shen Qingqian: Then you can eat.

Tu Fei: Is Auntie going to eat?

Shen Qingqian: I'll wait and see.

Tu Fei: Huh?What to see, have lunch.

Shen Qingqian: Well, I see.

Before Tu Fei had a few words, Tu Fei noticed something strange between the lines, "Li Li, you order first, I'll go out and make a phone call."

As soon as the phone was connected, Shen Qing asked lightly: "Why don't you call me if you don't have dinner with your little sister?" [Look at the little green characters]
