Mystery Pursuit

Wu Yuzhou was supposed to go to Yu Ye's house for dinner. An Sheng lived there for two days, and the doctor never allowed him to leave the hospital. The last time he had a dinner appointment with Zhang Miao, when the day came, Zhang Miao called and learned that Wu Yuzhou was in the hospital. Come.

After a few days of rest, Wu Yuzhou's body has almost recovered. He walked downstairs in the inpatient department with Zhang Miao. Friends reminiscing about the old days, it is inevitable to talk about the past. We agreed that day not to mention the past in front of Wu Yuzhou. Today it is only the two of them. Unanimously mentioned the past.

Zhang Miao asked why Wu Yuzhou survived back then, Wu Yuzhou answered truthfully, and then he asked Zhang Cheng why he committed suicide. This matter has been haunting him recently. In his memory, Zhang Cheng was cheerful and enthusiastic, and he was the kindest among several elders. He has such a personality , why commit suicide?He couldn't figure it out.

Mentioning his father, Zhang Miao smoked a cigarette silently. Zhang Cheng and his wife originally ran a noodle shop to support their two sons, and their life was not bad. When Zhang Cheng committed suicide, the Zhang family spent a lot of savings to save him, and the treatment expenses gradually emptied the Zhang family. The noodle shop sold After cashing out, Zhang's mother worked odd jobs outside to support her two sons to go to college.

Zhang Cheng can't live without someone to take care of him, and he needs to be checked occasionally. He is like a huge rock, pressing on the roof of Zhang's family. In recent years, the work and career of Zhang Miao brothers have stabilized, and the situation of Zhang's family has gradually improved. The hardships of the past few years Zhang Miao didn't want to recall those days.

Zhang Cheng's attempted suicide has become a heavy burden on the family, and the root cause of all this can be traced back to the murder of Zhou Zhendong's family.

Zhang Cheng went to Zhou's house that afternoon, and had a big quarrel with Zhou Zhendong because of trivial matters in life. Zhang Cheng slammed the door and left. This scene was seen by Zhou's neighbors, who told the police after the incident.

At that time, there were very few clues in the Miemen case. The police interrogated Zhang Cheng as an important suspect many times. Zhang Cheng explained the reason for the quarrel between the two, and the police sent people to verify it. After going back and forth, some neighbors whispered. At first, the neighbors were only in their own home. After discussing it, I don't know who spread the matter to make a big fuss, spreading everywhere that Zhang Cheng was the murderer of Zhou Zhendong's family.

Zhang's noodle restaurant was pasted with big characters of murderer, chicken blood was poured on the windows, everyone saw Zhang Cheng as if he saw a heinous devil, and the noodle restaurant had fewer and fewer customers.

Everywhere Zhang Cheng went, he was pointed and pointed at. No matter what Zhang Cheng and his wife explained, everyone didn't believe it. They insisted that Zhang Cheng was a murderer. There were no gossips, but there were still rumors that someone had thrown the dead bodies of cats and dogs into Zhang's yard.

The murder of Zhou Zhendong's family was a big blow to Zhang Cheng, and he was attacked by gossip. Zhang Cheng, who was originally cheerful, became more and more silent. During that time, the villagers seemed to be possessed. Raising his head to be a man, he left a suicide note and committed suicide by drinking medicine.

The person was rescued in time, but his brain nerves were damaged, and he became a vegetable, lying in bed all day long.

Wu Yuzhou was silent for a long time after listening. He lit a cigarette and smoked it with Zhang Miao.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Miao felt cold, "You know the relationship between our two families in the past. When I was young, my family killed chickens, and my brother and I would never eat chicken legs. These good places must be sent to your family and Uncle Wu's. I I believe that the friendship between the three of them is true, and I also believe that my father will never kill anyone."

Wu Yuzhou turned around and patted Zhang Miao on the shoulder, "I believe in Uncle Zhang." Maybe Zhang Cheng's enthusiasm and sincerity have always been preserved in Wu Yuzhou's heart. That beauty made him choose to believe, and even felt depressed for Zhang Cheng's encounter.

"It's good if you can believe it. It doesn't matter what others think of me. It's mainly you. If you think my father is a murderer like those people, then I really don't know what to do."

Wu Yuzhou pressed the lighter, and the flames shot out. He lit a cigarette for Zhang Miao without saying a word.

"I've been paying attention to your family's case over the years, and I even went to the police station to urge you, but the police haven't heard anything about it. It's been almost 13 years, and the murderer has been allowed to go unpunished for so many years. Every time I think about it, I can't breathe. Seriously. , now that you are back, we must find out the murderer no matter what, and return Uncle Zhou and my father innocent."

"In the early years, I couldn't help myself and couldn't come back. This time I will find the murderer."

"With your words, I feel relieved. After talking with you, buddy, my heart is open. If you need my help, just ask. Don't be polite to me. We are still the same as when we were young."

Wu Yuzhou smiled and nodded.

Yu Ye returned to the hospital after finishing his team work. There was no one in the ward. He looked out of the window and saw Wu Yuzhou and Zhang Miao chatting below. He didn't bother him. He waited for two hours and he still hadn't come back. It was very cold in late autumn morning and evening. Fearing that Wu Yuzhou would be cold, he carried his clothes and went downstairs.

Zhang Miao saw a person walking with his head held high in the distance, and fell into memories. After a while, he turned to Wu Yuzhou, "He is...your...boyfriend? Are you still together after all these years?"

"It's him, not together, a colleague from the unit."

"Is he married? I heard that there are some people of the same sex who can't bear the pressure from all sides and will marry women." Zhang Miao asked.

"No."

"Then is he talking about friends now?"

"nor."

"Then what are you waiting for? Come on! You liked it to death, but now you don't like it?"

Wu Yuzhou smiled, but didn't answer.

The two talked for a few minutes, Yu Ye walked over from a distance, and greeted Zhang Miao, with his clothes on Wu Yuzhou, "It's cold, let's go up and talk about it."

Zhang Miao looked at his watch, it was almost dinner time, and the restaurant was busy, so he hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

"When did you come here?" Wu Yuzhou followed Yu Ye to the ward.

"For a while, I saw that you were chatting vigorously, and didn't come to disturb you. Why are you talking for so long? Isn't it too cold?"

"Talk about my father."

"Any gains?"

Wu Yuzhou repeated what Zhang Miao said, and Yu Ye slowed down after listening, "The police regard Zhang Cheng as a suspect, and the neighbors' meeting is normal, but the reaction is so strange."

"Someone should be causing trouble."

Yu Ye thought for a while, "This person did this in two ways.

First: He is dissatisfied with Zhang Cheng and uses this to get rid of the thorn in his side.

Second: Zhang Cheng may know some inside information, and his existence poses a threat to the murderer.

The police have conducted a detailed investigation of your father's interpersonal relationship, but it is certainly not as comprehensive as yours. Does your father have any other friends? "

"Do colleagues who move around a lot count?"

"Of course."

"About half a year before my father was killed, Zhang Chun came to our house very frequently and brought gifts every time. I only found out by eavesdropping on my parents' chat. Some provincial and department leaders poached my father. After my father left, the position of captain became vacant. At that time, the vice-team was Zhang Chun. He hoped that my father would give him a good word in front of the leader before he went to the provincial office, and let him take over the captain's position. Later, my mother didn't want my father to go to work in a distant place, so my father refused. After that, Zhang Chun seldom came to my house."

Zhang Chun is the main person in charge of the Zhou family's Miemen case. Yu Ye talked to Zhang Chun because of this. In the past, Zhang Chun told him the details of the Miemen case, and did not stop him from investigating the case in private. The last time I met Zhang Chun, he asked Yu Ye. How did the investigation go? The case has not been solved for so many years. Zhang Chun has been paying close attention to it, but he has never told Yu Ye what Wu Yuzhou said.

Seeing that Yu Ye was silent, Wu Yuzhou said again: "I didn't expect your master to bribe the leader for promotion?"

Yu Ye was silent, not only because of this, he couldn't understand why Zhang Chun wanted to hide it from him?And when Zhang Chun was in charge of the Miemen case, he had naturally seen photos of the Zhou family's two children, but when he saw Wu Yuzhou, he didn't recognize that it was Zhou Qizheng. Was he acting or did he really forget?

Wu Yuzhou didn't want to damage the relationship between Yu Ye and Zhang Chun because of his affairs, so he changed the subject, "How is the investigation of the Song Ming case?"

"Send someone to City C to talk to Chai Chongming, as you said, Chai Chongming knows Feng Zhide.

Chai Chongming originally had two daughters. The eldest daughter was named Chai Huan. When he was five years old, he went back to his grandma’s house in Jingchuan with his mother. The children in the village often ganged up and wandered the streets and alleys. Chai Huan went out to play with his cousin, running It was over, my cousin was playful and didn't care, and when I was about to go home for dinner at night, I found that Chai Huan was gone.

The Chai family searched for a long time but failed to find Chai Huan. One day ten years later, Chai Huan suddenly came back by himself, bringing back a boy named Feng Zhide who was one year older than her.

Chai Chongming's family was very happy. They asked around to find a school for Chai Huan and Feng Zhide. When they found a good school, a few days before school started, two more boys came to the family.

Chai Huan said that she met these three boys outside, and that the three brothers were very kind to her. As for where will she live after ten years away from home?what happened?Chai Huan kept silent about how he got back home, and burst into tears when he asked urgently.

The Chai family didn't dare to ask further questions, they could only take care of a few children within their ability, and wanted to help them find their parents, but the three boys didn't talk about their situation. dilapidated old.

Several children rested at Chai's house for a period of time, recovered from their injuries, and gained weight. The four children suddenly disappeared together without leaving a letter at home.

Chai Chongming searched around for a while, but without any news, he took his youngest daughter and wife out to work. He has not seen Chai Huan for three years.

According to your description, the portrait of the boy drawn by Chai Chongming was identified by Chai Chongming as one of the boys who came to his house to look for Chai Huan. "

"The little four they are talking about should be Chai Huan."

"The person Feng Zhide wants to protect is also Chai Huan. It is very likely that the murderer who killed Song Ming was also Chai Huan. I checked Chai Huan's ID number, but I couldn't find her record in this city."

"She has been away from home for so many years, and she has been out in the society since she was very young, so she probably used a fake |ID|ID card."

"Well, it's more difficult to find her whereabouts now. By the way, I found out a little. According to your instructions, Xiaolu checked the traces of Song Ming, Zhang Chongyang, and Li Tian on the Internet, and found that they all followed a female anchor named Manman.

Manman has tens of thousands of fans on the live broadcast platform. He sings live and chats with netizens every day. All three of them are in Manman's live broadcast room, and they have paid high-value gifts.

As long as there is enough money, some anchors will meet with netizens offline. Based on this, I checked the bank accounts of the three people. Recently, the three people have charged high fees on the live broadcast platform.

No one around Song Ming and Zhang Chongyang knew about their gifts for the female anchor. Two days before the incident, Li Tiancheng showed off to his friends, saying that he had a very beautiful girlfriend and would come to see him in a few days.

The real-name authentication information on the live broadcast platform is not Manman herself. Maybe Manman has not many fans, and the platform has not discovered this matter. Now this anchor named Manman has not logged into the account for a few days to broadcast live.

Cheng Xiaolu intercepted the photos of Manman's live broadcast and sent someone to take them to Chai Chongming for identification. He said that he looked like Chai Huan, but not Chai Huan. "

Back in the ward, Yu Ye took out two photos and handed them to Wu Yuzhou. One was Chai Huan's ID photo taken for school when she came home at the age of 15. The girl was thin and dark, with a wide chin, a Chinese character face, and the corners of her mouth pulled down. A bit bitter.

Another screenshot of Manman's live broadcast, which is different from Chai Huan's Chinese character face, Manman has a pointed chin, a straight nose, slightly upturned mouth corners, and a sweet smile, which is popular now. Wu Yuzhou thought of the six male victims. Both sides have the same smile as the female anchor.

The live broadcast platform has a beautifying effect, but after careful identification, it is not difficult to find that Chai Huan and Manman have similar eyebrows and lips, and the same lip shape.

"I suspect that Man Man is Chai Huan, but she has plastic surgery." Yu Ye said what Wu Yuzhou was thinking.

"When did Manman stop the live broadcast?"

"The day Feng Zhide was arrested."

"Whether this girl is Chai Huan or not is suspicious."

"Well, Lin Jie is tracking her whereabouts."

After dinner, Yu Ye came out of the doctor's office, entered the ward and said with a smile, "You can leave the hospital tomorrow."

Wu Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, his mouth was silent, and his face was full of smiles. After finishing the discharge procedures the next morning, Yu Ye sent Wu Yuzhou home. As soon as he entered the door, Lin Jie called, "We are looking for The girl who came to be the anchor with Manman, she knows a little about Manman, now that she is in the bureau, do you want to come over with Congee?"

"Okay, let's go there right away." The two hurried to the police station without caring about packing their things.

The girl once rented a house with Manman. She confirmed that Manman had undergone plastic surgery. Manman liked the popular actor Zhou Xun. The distance between fans and idols is far away. In order to get closer to idols, Manman wanted to become an actor in the entertainment circle, so she had plastic surgery.

Manman is a crazy fan who can't distinguish between reality and dreams. He fantasizes about marrying an idol all day long. He once had an illegitimate meal to follow Zhou Xun, and all the money he earned from live broadcasting was spent on chasing stars.

The girl once persuaded her, but Manman couldn't listen to it, and even had a big fight with the girl because of this, so they parted ways, and they had little contact with each other after they didn't share the rent.

The girl learned about Manman's recent situation from other people. She heard that Manman signed a contract with a small company. Xun co-starred in a play, and then spread the word that Zhou Xun was her boyfriend, and it spread more and more widely. Once it became a hot search, Zhou Xun came out to refute the rumors.

Before, Zhou Xun was polite to Man Man and added WeChat. After Man Man spread rumors everywhere, Zhou Xun was furious and blocked her WeChat.

After being sad for a period of time, Manman, who came out of love, became very weird. She became a black fan spreading rumors and insulting Zhou Xun, while continuing to pay attention to Zhou Xun's dynamics, dreaming of marrying him.

The police showed the photo of Feng Zhide to the girl for identification. The girl said that when they rented together, Feng Zhide and two other boys often went to see Manman. Among them, Feng Zhide went the most and cared about Manman most. , Manman denied it, saying that Feng Zhide and Feng Zhide were just siblings. So far, Yuye and the others confirmed that the female anchor named Manman was Chai Huan.

With the help of the girl, after many inquiries, they finally found the place that Chai Huan rented later.

It was a shared two-bedroom apartment. When Yu Ye and the others rushed over, there was no one in the room. Chai Huan lived in the master bedroom, and the girl who lived in the second bedroom had withdrawn the rent. The room was empty. The landlord said the tenant would live in the second bedroom. A long time ago, a female tenant suddenly asked the landlord to check out, saying that strange insects often appeared in the house recently. Once she saw a small snake crawling out of Chai Huan's bedroom, and asked Chai Huan if she had seen snakes in the house. Chai Huan denied , but said that the female tenant was wrong.

The house has not been renovated for a few years, and it is a new community. It is impossible for snakes and centipedes to appear in the house for no reason. The landlord is very strange. He came to check but did not find these.

The landlord opened the door of the master bedroom, and Yu Ye walked to the front. There was no one in Chai Huan's room, and the light was very dark with the curtains drawn. The bedding was pink, and there were many plush toys around the bed. Even the computer and keyboard were also pink.

In the pink room, the four walls are covered with posters and photos of Zhou Xun. The largest photo is a group photo of Zhou Xun and Chai Huan. There is a line of small words next to the poster: Even the collapse of the world cannot stop me from loving you.

Beside the computer desk is a small table less than half a meter long. There is an incense burner and two cups of tea on the table. There is dust on the tea, and the water hasn’t been changed for a few days. The soot from the incense burner is scattered all over the table, and only a circular mark is free of dust.

Wu Fei leaned over and followed Wu Yuzhou's gaze to look at the table, "What was enshrined here before? Buddha statues?"

Wu Yuzhou shook his head, "Jar."
