When Xie Qing and his group got off the car, the door of the nightclub was already open, and several male waiters were cleaning.

A young man put down his broom and said, "It's not open yet, let's go somewhere else first."

Li Ke stepped forward and showed his ID, "We are from the police station, and we want to ask you something."

"From the Municipal Bureau!" The young man was startled, and his eyes wandered over the faces of the four people, and finally said to Huang Zhenyi, "Leader, are you looking for us or our manager?"

Huang Zhenyi said, "Have you heard of the Chao Shi case, a case where a family of seven was wiped out."

The young man nodded, "I have heard of it, what's the matter?"

Li Ke said, "Do you know the sisters Chao Meng and Chao Miao?"

"I don't know them." He turned his head and shouted to the door, "Brother 2 Long, don't you know the Chao sisters? The police are here to ask questions!"

A man in his twenties came out of the nightclub, holding a cigarette in his mouth and with a small green dragon embroidered on his wrist.

He asked nonchalantly, "I know them, what, is it illegal?"

Li Ke smiled and said, "It's not illegal. We want to understand the situation and hope you can cooperate."

"Cooperate, why not, please come in." He made a funny gesture of invitation, "Xiaoliang, quickly bring a few bottles of mineral water."

The four followed him in and sat down at a round table by the window.

Brother Long was slumped on the sofa, with his legs crossed. It was obvious that he had poor family discipline and had never been to the police station - he had no fear of the police.

Xie Qing believed that this man would not be related to the two cases.

Li Ke opened his notebook: "What's your name?"

Brother Long said, "Zhu Xiaolong."

Huang Zhenyi asked, "Besides you, is there anyone else here who knows the Chao sisters?"

Brother Long said, "Seven years ago, Chao Shi had a good relationship with the original owner of this nightclub. The sisters came here to play twice and were very familiar with the brothers who were watching over the place at the time. Later, the boss changed, and we came and went, and I'm the only one left."

Huang Zhenyi said, " How is your relationship with the Chao sisters? Have you taught their classmates for her?"

Brother Long sat up all of a sudden, "You won't suspect that it was us who did it, right?"

Huang Zhenyi said, "I just want to understand the situation."

Brother Long put out his cigarette, "Let me tell you, not to mention me, even that group of brothers would not do such an inhumane thing. We are not good students, we smoke, dance, play billiards, get tattoos and fight, but we are not breaking the law."

"Those two little girls are just followers. They like to play with us, but they have never asked us to teach anyone a lesson, not even once. Besides, they are not that pretty and delicate, and we are not her younger brothers. We only take them to play for the boss's sake."

Huang Zhenyi and Tan Yi looked at each other.

Tan Yi handed him a cigarette: "Has Chao Shi's eldest son been here?"

"No, I've never seen him." Brother Long took two bottles of water from Xiao Liang and handed them to Xie Qing and Li Ke first.

Xie Qing took the bottle caps and put them on the table.

These two were completely defenseless against them. Not to mention the Chao Shi case, even the Ben family case was probably not done by them.

Huang Zhenyi said: "Do you still have the contact information of the brothers who used to watch the scene?"

Brother Long said: "There are only a few. They usually go to work in the factory. There are also small traders..."

He reported seven or eight names and three or four phone numbers, and Li Ke wrote them down one by one.

When we left the nightclub, the sky had already darkened. We drove around the streets full of lights and entered the main city.

When we passed a regular bookstore, Xie Qing suddenly said, "Captain Huang, I want to buy a book."

Huang Zhenyi said, "The Jade Sword?"

Xie Qing smiled, "Captain Huang is smart."

Huang Zhenyi stopped the car on the side of the road, "Go ahead, hurry up, it's going to close soon."

Xie Qing agreed, got out of the car with Li Ke, and ran over quickly.

As soon as we entered the store, the salesperson who was cleaning the sanitation said with a dark face, "It's time to get off work, we don't sell anymore."

Xie Qing said, "I want to buy a complete set of Jin Yong and Gu Long."

This was a big deal.

The salesperson was a little embarrassed, "Girl, I'm afraid you won't buy anything after choosing. Now that we have a goal, it's easy to deal with."

Xie Qing said, "You are not active after work, and you have a problem with your thinking. I understand. Hurry up, I'm also anxious."

The salesperson was amused by her and immediately went to the warehouse to pack new books for her.

Xie Qing took the opportunity to choose books related to psychology, history, geography, plants, etc.

When they left, they each carried a large stack, which scared Huang Zhenyi and Tan Yi.

Tan Yi got out of the car quickly and took a stack of books from each person, saying with a smile, "Why don't you charge for the books?"

Xie Qing said, "I'm moving, so I bought some books to fill up the bookshelf."

Tan Yi was busy with work and his mind was not in the community. Xie Qing didn't have to oversee the decoration and seldom went to Zuilong Bay. He knew nothing about his purchase of a house and decoration.

Tan Yi was stunned, "Where are you moving to?"

Xie Qing said, "Keep it a secret for now, Captain Tan, where is my camera?"

Tan Yi felt bad, but he didn't show it on his face, "I've bought it, but it hasn't been delivered yet. Maybe in a few days."

Xie Qing said, "That's great, thank you, Captain Tan."

Captain Huang started the car, "Lao Cao's house is coming soon, and I've also picked one. When you have enough money, you can pay for it and live in a big house."

Xie Qing said, "The interest on money in the bank is limited. When the house price goes up, you can You know how wise this decision is."

Li Ke nudged Xie Qing with his elbow, "You want to live on your own instead of in the dormitory?"

Xie Qing said, "I'll live in the dormitory when I'm busy, and go home when I'm not busy."

Li Ke was a little envious, "I also want to have my own house, but I prefer to live with my parents."

Xie Qing said, "If your parents have money, you can borrow money from them to buy one, and pay it back a little bit with your salary, just as saving money in advance."

Li Ke hesitated, "They won't agree."

Xie Qing said, "You haven't even tried it, but you've already denied yourself on behalf of your parents. This is not the style of our police."

Li Ke felt embarrassed, "I can't refute it. Okay, I'll try when I get back."

...

Back to the guesthouse, the four of them ate first and then went upstairs.

Fu Da's room was just opposite the stairs. As soon as the four of them came up, Li Ji poked his head out, "Captain Huang, Captain Tan, you're back."

Huang Zhenyi nodded, "Have you eaten? If you have, go to the conference room for a meeting."

Fu Da said, "We just finished."

Everyone went to the small conference room at the end of the corridor.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter brought up the brewed hot tea.

Fu Da blew on it with disdain and put it down, "The tea is too hot. Xie, do you still want your mineral water?"

"Keke, give Brother Fu a bottle of water." Xie Qing handed the plastic bag in her hand to Deng Wenxiang, "Brother Fu, Brother Deng, there are Zhu Xiaolong's fingerprints on it. Although the possibility is not high, we still have to compare it."

Fu Da took the water handed to him by Li Ke and gulped down several big gulps, "I haven't drunk any water all afternoon, it doesn't matter who I drink from."

Huang Zhenyi said, "I didn't gain much from my end. There is no such person as Ye Wan in No. 1 Middle School. The teachers all said that Chao Xiu and his sister have never been in a relationship. This is basically consistent with the results of the investigation seven years ago, but it still needs to be reconfirmed."

Xie Qing could see that he was relieved. If the problem was with the Chao brothers and sisters, it meant that their original investigation direction was wrong - how could there be a good result if they ran on a road that had no end?

Huang Zhenyi continued, "From the current situation, it is unlikely that high school classmates committed the crime. Although the Chao sisters like to form gangs and bully people, they are not bad people by nature. The gangsters they associate with don't seem to often deal with the police. Let's wait and see about the junior high school classmates tomorrow."

Fu Da said, "We went to the homes and units of four suspects and found the people, but they still said the same thing and we didn't find anything. In fact, it's difficult to find anything."

Huang Zhenyi smiled, "Yeah, it was hard to find out seven years ago, so it would be strange to find out now."

"Who said it wasn't!" Fu Da pushed a thick list to him, "The county bureau sent the list over. My goodness, there are quite a few people."

Huang Zhenyi took it and flipped through it. It was an A4 paper with a total of twenty-two pages, with twenty-five people on each page, a total of more than five hundred people.

Fu Da said, "This list does not include students who went out to study. If so, there would be more than just these few people."

Tan Yi took the list from Huang Zhenyi, pulled down the staples, and gave each person except Huang Zhenyi a page. "Now, let's look for the subjects of the investigation that year and the newly added subjects of the investigation today on this list to see how many have left."

Huang Zhenyi said, "Give me a copy too, so that we can finish the work early and rest early."

Tan Yi gave him the file, "Captain Huang, read out the names."

Huang Zhenyi smiled, "This is better."

A family of seven was killed, and the number of suspects that year reached 16. The remaining seven were taken from the high school and the nightclub today. With

more people, the work can be done quickly, and it was done in less than half an hour.

Among the suspects that year, three left Lishan and settled in Anhai City.

Among the seven people today, four are not in Lishan, two are in Anhai, one is in Xiang'an, and one is in Beijing.

The two in Anhai are from the nightclub, and the other two are girls. One married to Xiang'an, and the other was admitted to a university in Beijing and stayed there.

Huang Zhenyi said, "What do you think of these seven people?"

Tan Yi said, "The three suspects are all in the engineering field. There are many engineering projects in the city, so it is normal for them to go to the city. The two girls are not a big problem, and the one in the nightclub is not a big suspect in my opinion. After all, Anhai needs to take care of more places than Lishan."

Fu Da smiled and said, "Captain Tan's opinion is also mine."

The others nodded.

There is still no clue.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"It's okay. It's been seven years, and the case has become twice as difficult. How can it be so easy to solve? Today is only the first day. We'll try harder tomorrow!" Huang Zhenyi comforted everyone and himself at the same time. He stood up and said, "You've been running all day. Have a good rest."

...

Everyone went back to their rooms.

Xie Qing and Li Ke took a shower and went to bed, each holding a martial arts novel.

Li Ke was tired and fell asleep in less than ten minutes.

Xie Qing studied the Blood Sword and became more and more energetic.

At half past nine, she felt a little hungry, so she took the book out and planned to buy some snacks outside to read in the conference room.

Just as she walked out the door and was about to cross the street, she was stopped by a mellow baritone, "Xiao Xie, are you going to find something to eat?"

Xie Qing looked back and saw Tan Yi and Li Ji standing at the door, each holding a bunch of skewers of meat.
