Chapter 150 Hot Springs
The "we" mentioned by Xie Qing only refers to her and Tan Yi.
Tan Yi felt very relieved.
In fact, ever since he was hit by two cars on the road last time, his family sent two experienced security guards to observe the Zuilongwan area for a long time, but they did not find anything unusual.
He is the captain of the criminal police team, but he needs the security guards at home to protect his personal safety. Once people know about it, it will be a joke.
Therefore, after the company signed a contract with Xie Chen, he asked the company to take the people back - the new electrical appliances in the house, VCD players, stereos, etc., were replaced by them at that time.
Tan Yi thinks that the speculation about the elderly and the nanny is reasonable, especially the nanny, who is more likely.
As long as they have a mobile phone, the car waiting outside the community can follow him anytime and anywhere.
Tan Yi said, "If it's Aunt Zhou, wouldn't it be too obvious?"
The members of the task force looked at Tan Yi and then at Xie Qing.
Fu Da spoke up, "Captain Tan, I think you guys are really overthinking it. Whether it's an old man or a nanny, isn't it normal to run into them often? It's abnormal if you don't run into them."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"What do you think? I thought Shen Huiqing was fine, but she's dead."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed together.
The words were rough, but the truth was there.
Du Zhun's words were correct, so everyone changed their tune again, saying that the nannies and old men and women in Zuilongwan should be investigated.
In the final analysis, this is a stage with insufficient clues and wild imagination.
To get out of this stage, a lot of trial and error is necessary.
Xie Qing said: "Captain Tan, it may not be Aunt Zhou, it may also be other nannies. Moreover, if it is really Aunt Zhou, doesn't it fit the logic of the criminal? You see, I'm under your nose every day, but you just don't know anything, and you feel a great sense of accomplishment!"
The smile on Tan Yi's face disappeared.
He was not angry, but remembered the scene fifteen years ago. According to the other party's logic, Xie Qing's assumption makes a lot of sense.
As for the old man and the old woman that Li Ke mentioned, he felt that it was impossible for this kind of people to monitor him, but it was very likely that they were the masterminds - first, they have financial strength; second, their age is suitable.
However, as a criminal policeman, without any evidence, he suspected a retired old man who was once well-known just because he lived in the same community. This was not only morally unacceptable, but also likely to attract supervision and suspicion from the regulatory authorities.
This was also the main reason why he could not conduct further investigation even though he suspected that some members of the SQN case were in the coastal area.
He had no reason to do so!
Tan Yi said, "Xiao Xie has a point, but firstly, we have no evidence, and secondly, we are in the open and cannot conduct a covert investigation in the community."
Fu Da lit a cigarette, "Zuilongwan is a high-end community with a low occupancy rate and few people. It is indeed too conspicuous to go in and investigate, but it is not difficult for Xiao Xie and Xiao Li. Captain Tan is not at home during the day, so it is enough to arrange less overtime for them at night."
This suggestion is still very constructive.
Liu Feng, Du Zhun and others looked at Xie Qing together.
Xie Qing said, "I have no objection. A few days ago I said I wanted to learn fishing from the old men. Now it seems that this is also an opportunity."
Tan Yi said, "Is Aunt Zhou at the homes of the old men?"
Xie Qing nodded, "Yes, at Grandpa Fan's home."
Tan Yi made the final decision, "Then it's settled. Xiao Li will take the trouble to stay with Xiao Xie for a few days."
Li Ke was immediately happy, "Not hard, not hard at all."
Ren Yaguang smiled and said, "Xiao Xie can cook, the house is large, and there is billiard for entertainment. She is just looking forward to it."
...
At ten o'clock the next morning, Tan Yi and Fu Da drove to the hot spring villa located west of Anhai City.
The two parked the car and entered the lobby.
Because it was not the weekend, there were few guests, and it was their turn soon.
The receptionist said, "The big ticket is 48, and the small ticket is 18."
Fu Da came for the first time and didn't understand what the so-called "big and small" meant, so he asked, "What activities can I play for 48, and what activities can I play for 18."
The young receptionist stared at Tan Yi for a few seconds and said, "The big ticket ones can go to any pool, with a free swimsuit and free drinks. The small ticket ones need to bring their own swimsuit and can only go to hot springs."
"Two big tickets." Tan Yi took out his police officer ID and a photo of Shen Huiqing, "By the way, please identify this person."
It was actually a policeman!
The two receptionists were startled. After looking at each other, the older receptionist said, "This person looks familiar, as if she has been here several times."
Tan Yi said, "Did she buy a big ticket or a small ticket?"
The receptionist thought for a while and said, "Small ticket, I remember it was a small ticket."
Tan Yi said again, "You just think she looks familiar, why do you remember that she only bought small tickets?"
"Why not? Shouldn't you leave some room?" The receptionist looked innocent, and then sighed, "After all, you are a policeman, and you hit the nail on the head. To be honest, I think this person is a bit strange. Every time she comes, she is secretive, as if she is afraid of being seen by acquaintances. For this reason, we also asked the young ladies who do service inside, and they said that besides soaking in hot springs, she plays mahjong, and almost never interacts with male guests alone. So, maybe she has a strange temper. She usually comes on weekends, and you can't find her today."
Playing mahjong again.
Tan Yi felt cold in his heart. There couldn't be a lot of people waiting to be checked again.
He thanked the receptionist, took the two tickets and entered the east corridor.
The corridor was paved with red carpet and decorated quite luxuriously.
Fu Da looked around and said, "It's really good, but 18 for one time, 72 for four times, I can't bear it."
Tan Yi said, "If it's just for entertainment, Shen Huiqing may not be willing to give it up either."
Fu Da said, "That's right."
The two entered the men's locker room.
A young man saw the tickets and gave them swimming trunks and locker keys.
There was a golden plate on the elastic key ring.
The two found the locker, took off their outer clothes, took a shower, changed into swimming trunks and went to the leisure hall.
There were chess and card games, billiards, table tennis, and fitness equipment in the leisure hall. There
were not many guests, only one table was playing chess and card games, and the other places were empty.
Tan Yi and Fu Da went to the billiards and prepared to play a round of snooker.
The male waiter came running over with two clubs and asked enthusiastically, "What would you like to drink?"
"Green tea." Tan Yi took out ten yuan and a photo of Shen Huiqing from his wallet, "Have you seen this person?" The
waiter may not have received many tips. He was surprised and a little excited. He looked at the photo carefully, "I seem to have seen her. She often plays mahjong here."
Fu Da asked, "Why do you remember it so clearly?"
The waiter said, "Generally speaking, the women who come here to play are either here to soak in hot springs or take their children to play. Few of them play mahjong. Even if they do, they buy big tickets. She almost always buys small tickets and doesn't order any drinks."
Tan Yi nodded. People who are not high-consumption groups will always feel a little out of place when they go to high-consumption places.
He asked, "Does she have a fixed partner?"
The waiter thought for a moment, "Everyone comes once a week, and almost no one has a fixed partner. They just play at whichever table they are at."
Fu Da asked, "Among the people who come regularly, are there people who often play with her?"
The waiter thought for a while, and still shook his head, "I really didn't notice that."
Tan Yi said, "Is there anything unusual about her?"
The waiter said, "No, I don't remember."
No impression, probably means there is nothing unusual about her.
Just like the front desk, special people will always attract special attention. Even if they think they are well hidden, they cannot escape the eyes of these waiters who have seen countless people.
The waiter went to make tea.
Tan Yi hit a strong first shot.
Fu Da aimed at a red ball that stopped at the entrance of the hole, "It seems that Captain Tan spent the hundred yuan in vain."
"What should be spent must be spent." Tan Yi rubbed the head of the club with clever powder while thinking about this problem, "Has Brother Fu ever thought that she actually has a fixed group of people she contacts."
Fu Da hit the target with one shot and asked subconsciously, "Who is it, the receptionist?"
Tan Yi said, "Front desk receptionist, locker room receptionist, I think the possibility of locker room receptionist is greater."
Fu Da said "Fuck" and watched with regret as the pink ball bumped on the table a few times and finally stopped next to the bottom pocket, "Captain Tan is awesome."
Tan Yi took a stance and pushed a red ball into the pocket, easily taking the pink ball. When he aimed at the second red ball, the waiter came back with two cups of green tea.
Tan Yi put down his golf club, took a cup of tea, and asked, "Have any of your employees resigned in the past two days, such as the front desk receptionist or the waiter in the women's locker room?"
The waiter said, "Sister Wang from the women's locker room left yesterday morning. She said that her son is about to take the college entrance examination, and she doesn't want this month's salary."
Tan Yi returned the cup to him, and Fu Da also threw down his golf club. The two changed their clothes and went directly to the top floor to find the personnel office.
Sister Wang, whose full name is Wang Cuihong, joined the company at the end of August last year. She is from Mian County, Chuanzhou. What she meant by going home is to go back to her hometown in the south.
Both the time points of resignation and joining are very interesting. She resigned when Shen Huiqing committed suicide, and joined the company only slightly earlier than Tan Yi, and Shen Yi died not long after she arrived.
Wang Cuihong's dormitory was empty.
Tan Yi and Fu Da checked it over. It was clean and there was nothing noteworthy.
The two questioned another female employee who handed over the work to Wang Cuihong.
Because of Wang Cuihong's departure, the female employee worked for a full twelve hours.
She scolded Wang Cuihong first, and then explained some of the circumstances.
Wang Cuihua was taciturn and seldom communicated with others. Their contacts were limited to the handover and inventory. She stayed in the dormitory after work and didn't go anywhere. After
working together for more than half a year, her colleagues didn't know much about her.
There was one thing that everyone found very strange. Someone saw her using a mobile phone at the window, but when a colleague asked her to borrow a phone, she said she didn't have one, and no one saw her using a mobile phone afterwards.
Coming out of the hot spring villa.
Fu Da said, "I don't understand why they put the meeting place here."
Tan Yi said, "There is a large flow of people, the staff turnover is high, and there are all kinds of people, so it is more concealed."
Fu Da said again, "Can't the hotels in the city be used?"
Tan Yi said, "There are too many eyes in the hotels in the city, and they don't have any reputation. It doesn't fit the personality of an accountant to eat out frequently." "
That makes sense." Fu Da nodded, "She is also a key link in the SQN case. Do you want to go find the big brother under Wang Cuihong's name?"
Tan Yi said, "Yes, you must."
