winter past

Everyone left in an orderly manner. When only Zhan Xuanang and Zhao You were left in the office, Zhao You took the initiative to walk to Zhan Xuanang's desk, and stood at attention with his hands behind his back.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhan Xuanang asked him.

Zhao You smiled kindly, but didn't make a sound.Zhan Xuanang's eyes froze, and he patted the table. The thermos cup on the table shook slightly. Zhao You hurriedly supported the thermos cup, but still didn't say a word, with a gesture of beating and scolding.Zhan Xuanang slammed down the table again, followed by a "bang", he reprimanded sharply: "Guess, doubt, do you think, can this solve the case?"

"No." Zhao You lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"What did you say about Zhang Li, who followed a thief and carried out the theft? Do you have evidence?"

Zhao You let go of his hands, looked up at Zhan Xuanang, stood up straight again, put his hands behind his back again, and said: "I happened to be at the Yuanhe police station before I rushed back for a meeting. They caught a habitual thief instead. I suspect he is The thief that Zhang Li followed, we need to adjust some social monitoring, and listen to the thief's testimony to verify the situation."

Zhan Xuanang turned sideways, looked at Zhao You fiercely, and said in a loud voice, "There is also the driver, why can't you say it's not Zhang Li?"

Zhao Youdao: "Zhang Li's driving habits don't seem to be like that."

"Like? Habit? Are you making up stories?"

"It's the gesture of holding the steering wheel. I asked Su Weidong, and he said that Zhang Li had admitted to him that his driver's license was bought. Su Weidong also said that Zhang Li's driving movements were very irregular. It's..." Zhao You made a movement of turning the steering wheel with his hands close to twelve o'clock.Zhan Xuanang interrupted him: "Only Su Weidong said that?"

Zhao Youdao: "I plan to find other people to verify."

"You haven't verified these things yet, you said so positively at the meeting, do you know that you are talking nonsense?"

Zhao You said: "There is no way to give the exact time of Zhang Li's death at Yanzigou, and the person has already been cremated, so it's hard to say when he died..."

Zhan Xuanang lowered his head slightly, and said: "I know..." He touched his chin, his tone became a lot calmer, and his expression became more relaxed. He smacked his lips, raised his eyes for a long while, and said to Zhao You, "Let's go." Let's go to the Yuanhe Police Station and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Zhao You responded, took out his mobile phone and said, "I have copied some surveillance videos here, do you want to watch them on the way first?" He handed out the mobile phone, and it happened that someone called him, and Zhan Xuanang pouted at the screen: " No answer?"

Zhao You answered the phone, and Old Chen on the other end of the phone said out of breath: "Officer Zhao! Come here quickly, hurry up, hurry up, our community... There is a suspicious person here in Qingshui Garden." people!"

Then there was a commotion, and Sun Zhengdao's voice came from the phone, also panting and anxious: "Old Zhao! Just like in the TV drama, the criminal has returned to the scene of the crime! Come here quickly! I took pictures of him." photo!!"

Zhan Xuanang propped his chin and squeezed his eyes and asked Zhao You: "Who?"

Zhao You first asked Sun Zhengdao: "Where are you? At Lao Chen's house or yours?"

"It's at Old Chen's house."

Zhao You told him, "Okay, stay at home and don't go out, don't run around, I'll come right away."

After he hung up the phone, he smiled apologetically with Zhan Xuanang: "I have to go to Qingshui Garden first, it seems that there are new clues."

Zhan Xuanang looked at the time and said, "Then divide the troops into two groups. I'll go to Yuanhe first and call."

Zhao You agreed repeatedly, and Zhan Xuanang pressed his hand, emphasizing it again: "Contact me by phone."

Zhao You hurriedly turned on the ringtone of the phone under Zhan Xuanang's nose.Zhan Xuanang glanced at his cell phone, then at him, and then withdrew his hand.The two went downstairs together, and drove away separately.

When the car arrived at Qingshui Garden, Zhao You saw Lao Chen and Sun Zhengdao, the old and the young, sitting on the flower bed in front of the community eating ice cream.He got out of the car and walked towards them. Sun Zhengdao saw him first, jumped up and waved at him.Around his neck was an old-fashioned film camera.

Sun Zhengdao ran up to him, gesticulated, and opened his mouth and said, "Old Zhao! Let me tell you, I was standing in the kitchen of Lao Chen's house, and I just watched the flickering lights on the opposite side. Staring at it, I just stared at the number, and I said, isn’t this the 5 in the 304th building! I just think of the TV series, those TV series..." He took a big breath, slapped his chest and swayed He went to the camera, waved the ice cream in his hand, and continued: "They played it. Those suspicious people and those related to the case will go back to the scene!" He swallowed, took a big mouthful of ice cream, Pointing at Lao Chen, he said: "I don't have a mobile phone, and the pixels of Lao Chen's mobile phone are too low, so I asked Lao Chen, do you have a camera at home? I have to take a picture of that person!" He patted his thigh, big Sighed: "Who knew that Lao Chen's old antique had its own flashlight. I wiped it and almost blinded myself. I guess that person was also flashed, so I called Lao Chen to see the building." Is there anyone suspicious running out?"

Zhao You looked at Lao Chen who was sitting silently, and asked him, "Did you see anyone?"

Lao Chen said: "I saw it, I saw a person hurriedly ran out of Building 5, ran towards the gate, and ran out." He pointed to the guard room: "The surveillance still caught it."

Sun Zhengdao grinned, with one hand on his waist and his head held high: "How about it, am I good?"

Zhao You asked him, "What are you doing at Lao Chen's house so late?"

Sun Zhengdao said confidently: "I learned calligraphy with Lao Chen. I am developing morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor in an all-round way."

Zhao You asked Lao Chen: "You bought a lot of snacks, and no one eats them?"

Old Chen chuckled, Sun Zhengdao pursed his lips, left Zhao You aside, and sat back by the flower bed, munching on ice cream.He glanced at Zhao You from the corner of his eye from time to time.Zhao You said again: "Didn't I tell you to stay at home?"

Old Chen said: "I just wanted to come to the guards and ask them if they saw anyone running out."

Sun Zhengdao asked Zhao You: "Will your police send silk banners to the common people?"

Zhao You looked at Old Chen and said, "By the way, have the police come to ask you about the people from the wheelchair track installation company these days?"

Sun Zhengdao raised his hand so high that he almost poked Zhao You's eyelid. He said, "I know! I know! I went to my grandparents' house to ask! Ask them to make a puzzle!"

Old Chen said: "A policeman came to ask about this matter, and asked about their general appearance, and showed me photos of several people."

Sun Zhengdao nodded again and again: "That's right! Show it to my grandparents too! They said...they said that the people who came to ask them are not among those people!"

Zhao You looked down at him: "The ice cream will melt if you don't eat it."

Sun Zhengdao wanted to say something else. Hearing what he said, he hurried to look at the ice cream, and started to eat it in a hurry, but he seemed to have a lot to say, his mouth was too busy, and his eyes were dripping with anxiety. Spin around.

Zhao You greeted Old Chen and said, "Please take him home first, and you should rest earlier, I will go to the guard room to check the surveillance."

Sun Zhengdao finished eating the ice cream in two or three bites, jumped up again, held up the camera and asked Zhao You: "Don't you want the photos you took?"

Zhao You took the camera over, and Sun Zhengdao was still looking at him, Zhao You then said, "I will develop the photos later and share them with you."

"It's more or less..." Sun Zhengdao let out a long sigh of relief, biting the wooden stick arrogantly and hugging his arm.

Zhao You pointed to the gate of the community: "Go back to sleep and remember to brush your teeth."

Old Chen also got up, patted Sun Zhengdao's hair, and led him away.

Zhao You went to the guard room to check the surveillance. When two security guards saw him, one said honestly, "I took a photo of a person with long hair, but I didn't take a picture of his whole face. His hair was blocked, and he was taken when he went in and out." When we arrived, he greeted us when he came in, I thought he was a resident..."

"Then is he a resident of your community? Have you seen him before? Do you have any impression?" Zhao You asked.

Another security guard called up the surveillance screen, pointed to a long-haired man on the screen who was nodding in the direction of the guard room, and said, "That's him." : "This is the first time he came out."

"First time out?"

"Yes, he came back into the community after that. You see, it didn't take long, just over ten minutes. He went out at 58:[-] and came back at [-]:[-]."

In a surveillance video at [-]:[-] this night, the long-haired man swaggered into the community again, but he still couldn't see his face clearly. His hair was indeed too long. He was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt. black trousers, like suit trousers, and leather shoes.

"Afterwards, Lao Chen and the others ran over and asked us if we saw a person running out. I recalled that I did see a long-haired person running out in a hurry, so I adjusted the surveillance to look."

Two security guards simultaneously pointed to a long-haired man running out of the community with his head down in a video.

Zhao You asked: "Do you have any impression when he walked out of the community for the first time? Which direction did he go? Did you see what he was doing?"

A security guard pointed to the east end of the road and said, "It seems to be going there. To be honest, I didn't notice..."

The other security guard just laughed, rubbing his hands together and laughing: "It's... unavoidable to be disappointed, we are sitting in this small house, there are also blind spots."

Zhao You glanced at the two decks of cards on the table, smiled and said nothing.He entered the community and found the gate of Building 5, 304. 304 replaced it with an ordinary wooden door, and the seal on the door fell off. The seal was still intact, but there was no adhesive on the back, and the door was locked.Zhao You took a photo of the door lock with his mobile phone, and the lock cylinder was intact. A slight scratch could be seen on the surface of the lock. Zhao You touched the ground, looked at it for a while, and found a scratch on the edge of the door. A small piece of transparent plastic paper.He touched the scratches on the door lock again, went downstairs, and went to the convenience store at the gate of the community.

The supermarket was already closed, and he patted the shutter door several times and shouted: "Boss Zhu, it's me, Xiao Zhao." Only then did Boss Zhu pull up the shutter door and opened the door for him.

Boss Zhu was wearing a vest and shorts, sweating profusely. When he saw Zhao You, he frowned and asked him, "It's midnight, and you're still not off work? What's the matter?"

Zhao You pointed to the camera at his door: "Is it fixed?"

"It's fixed."

"I'm looking for someone."

"It's just been repaired, it's just the video of the past few days."

"I'm just looking for someone who might have bought something from you today." Zhao You squeezed into the supermarket, pointing to a shelf, "I remember that you have card issuers here, right?"

"That's right." Boss Zhu walked behind the counter.The shop was as hot as a sauna.Boss Zhu picked up a palm-leaf fan, picked up the monitor while shaking the fan, and asked Zhao You, "What time do you want to watch?"

Zhao You asked him: "Is there a man with long hair who will buy hairpins with you tonight? Look around nine o'clock in the evening."

Boss Zhu said: "Yes, I'm quite impressed. A man bought a pack of hairpins and a toothbrush, paid for by Alipay."

"Why is it so impressive?"

Boss Zhu pointed to the screen and said, "Look, it's him."

Zhao You leaned over to watch the surveillance video, and saw that the long-haired man who was in and out of Qingshui Garden was similar in stature, and entered the convenience supermarket at nine o'clock that night.Boss Zhu transferred to the indoor surveillance, and the long-haired man bought a hairpin packaged in a transparent plastic bag, as well as a toothbrush.

Boss Zhu wiped his sweat and said, "It's a hot day, with such long hair, he's still a man, can you not be impressed? And..." He shook his fan and smacked his lips: "It's a pity that I didn't get a full face. Block it, if you see the face, you will have a deep impression on him."

"The appearance is very special? Is there a memory?"

Boss Zhu nodded again and again: "That's right, I have a good memory, and I'm pretty handsome." He also found the Alipay transaction record and said, "Look, I remember correctly, card issuance, toothbrush, and they don't cost much. It’s just that this handsome guy seems to have made a lot of determination when he paid the money.”

Zhao You immediately contacted Fang Yuzhu of the Information and Intelligence Detachment, sent the Alipay transaction information of the long-haired man, and asked her to help check the real name information of the account.While waiting for an echo, he tried to zoom in on the surveillance screen, but the resolution of the cameras outside and inside the store was not high, and the man's long hair blocked him, making it impossible to distinguish his appearance.

"Why are you looking for him?" Boss Zhu walked to the door, stood outside the door to blow the air, waving his fan, and asked, "Who is he? Did he steal something? Or 604..."

Zhao You smiled, Boss Zhu took a bottle of iced Coke from the freezer, walked in, opened the bottle cap, stuffed it for Zhao You, raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and asked him in a low voice: "Or is he 304... "

Zhao You still laughed, Fang Yuzhu quickly gave feedback, and sent him several WeChat screenshots. The Alipay real-name authentication name of the long-haired man was "Xiao Man", and even the usual delivery address was called out: Yaochi Ballroom on the second floor of No. 87, Changshou Street, Fubei District, Qingshi City.The front and back of Xiaoman's ID card and his mobile phone number were also sent together.

Zhao You blinked, and dug out a coupon from the barbecue restaurant on Xingfu Street that day from his wallet.

Boss Zhu leaned against him, shaking his fan gently, and there was a breeze, and he said softly: "Yaochi Grand Ballroom, from 88:[-] a.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., professional band, live accompaniment, five people will give away a fruit plate worth [-] " He swallowed, "You go over now...Are you off work or..."

Zhao You's hand touched the Coke bottle, the glass bottle was wet and cold, he pursed his lips, patted Boss Zhu, put the coupon back and left.

He remembered that the person who gave him this coupon that day was a young man in a floral shirt with long hair.

Fang Yuzhu sent another voice, Zhao You went to the parking lot, clicked to listen.Fang Yuzhu said: "You were also asked to help Dai Rou? Are you also looking for Xiaoman?"

Zhao You said: "How do you say that?"

Fang Yuzhu typed back to him: Dai Rou's group issued a password, not to make you and others pretend to be stupid. I heard from our team Yan that Xiaoman was the one who solved the case with Dai Rou back then. What about the Lin Midong he found in the Aegean Sea, Lin Midong's home was also located by him.

Zhao You walked to the side of the car, and a hot wind swept over him. He opened the car door and windows to ventilate.He looked at Xiaoman's ID photo in the screenshot.His facial features are [-]-[-]% similar to that of the man in the floral shirt, so he should be the same person.It's just that the Xiaoman on the ID card has fuller cheeks, is full of energy, and is quite energetic.In comparison, the man in the floral shirt he saw that day was a little too thin and tired.Their eyes were all dark and bright, but the black eyeballs of the man in the floral shirt were wet, and the light in his eyes came entirely from a layer of moisture, a layer of wet water.

Zhao You got into the car, set up the navigation, and headed to the Yaochi Grand Ballroom.

When he arrived at Yao Chi, he immediately saw Yin Miaozai's jeep parked downstairs in Yao Chi.Zhao You stopped the car and knocked on the window glass of the driver's seat. It was indeed Yin Miaozai who was sitting inside. She was burying her head in swiping her phone and typing, as if startled by the sound of knocking on the window, she hurriedly reached into Pressed in the leather bag on her knees, when she looked up and saw Zhao You, she was relieved and surprised, she lowered the car window and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhao You also asked her: "It's so late, you come here...to deliver food?" He pointed to a restaurant called Baccarat that was still open not far away.

Yin Miaozai waved her hands with a smile: "I'm just waiting for the rabbit."

"rabbit?"

"Well, it's the detective I told you about last time." Yin Miaozai seemed unwilling to explain further, "Anyway, I'm just waiting for him here, and I have to wait for him today."

Zhao You paused and asked, "He cheated you of your money?"

"No, oops, don't worry about it."

"He lives around here?"

Yin Miaozai pointed to Yao Chi: "His office is here."

"Isn't that a ballroom?"

"Yes, the ballroom is his office."

Zhao You gestured: "Does that detective of yours have long hair?"

Yin Miaozai nodded, and was even more surprised: "You don't know him, do you?" She looked Zhao You up and down, "I asked me for a long time, then why are you here? Hey, Zhao You, you don't know how to put on my car. Get a tracker!"

Just as Zhao You was about to explain, someone called him from behind: "Zhao You?"

He and Yin Miaozai looked back together, saw Dai Rou walking towards them, Zhao You scratched his forehead, and asked with a smile: "You are also here to find Xiaoman, right?"

Yin Miaozai asked him: "Ah? How do you know that the detective's name is Xiaoman? Do you really know each other?"

Dai Rou approached and pointed at the two of them, looking a little inconceivable: "Are you all here to find Xiaoman?"

Yin Miaozai suddenly stretched out her hand out of the car window, poked her head out, waved her hand in the direction of Baccarat, and shouted: "Xiao Man!"

Zhao You looked over and saw a car passing by him with dazzling headlights. After the light disappeared, his eyes could not see clearly for a while, everything was hazy and blurred.

There was only a section of green fog in front of him, lying across a gray area that looked like a road.

Zhao You rubbed his eyes, the green mist fell on the ground, gathered into the shape of a person, and became Xiaoman.The mist is green, but Xiaoman has black hair, white shirt, black trousers, black shoes, with scarlet stains on the neckline.It's really illogical...

Xiao Man held a popsicle in one hand, and with the other hand grabbed the bag of the popsicle and applied it to his face.He took a bite of the popsicle.rustle.Zhao You scratched his ears, it was hard to explain, how could he hear the sound of him biting a popsicle so clearly when they were a hundred meters away?After much deliberation, Zhao You felt that it was best to ask Xiaoman directly.
