Chapter 89 Their relationship? 3. Tracking
After receiving the order, Qi Xiaolei disguised herself as a customer and went to Zhao Lingxue's store to buy fruit.
Qi Xiaolei waited until there was no one in the store and went there, "Boss, how much are the grapes?"
"It's 15 yuan per pound. The goods were just delivered this morning and are very fresh," said Zhao Lingxue.
Qi Xiaolei raised her eyebrows slightly. She noticed that Zhao Lingxue spoke with a heavy nasal tone, so she said casually, "Just weigh one for me."
"Okay." Suddenly, she walked outside the stall and sneezed several times. She looked at Qi Xiaolei and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, autumn is coming, the weather is dry, and I have allergic rhinitis. I haven't been able to smell anything for several days. My nose is blocked and itchy, which is very uncomfortable."
Qi Xiaolei said, "Yes, rhinitis is the most troublesome thing. I dare not go to places where rhinitis is easy to occur, especially when I smell perfume or flowers on the roadside. I will sneeze more than ten times in a row."
"You are right. I went to visit my husband a few days ago where he was fishing. Who knew there was an osmanthus tree there? I started to have rhinitis after I came back from there."
Qi Xiaolei's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. She took out the money while asking, "Where are the osmanthus trees planted? Tell me so I can avoid the danger."
"It's near the suburban river in our district."
Qi Xiaolei walked to the car with the grapes. After closing the door, her face immediately became serious. "Captain Han, I found out two things."
Han Jianye raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"Zhao Lingxue has allergic rhinitis. She can't smell anything these days because of her rhinitis. Another thing is that she said she went to the river in the suburbs to look for her husband Guo Luojun. She said there was an osmanthus tree beside the river, and her rhinitis was caused by that tree."
Han Jianye made a prompt decision, "Su Wan, you stay here and continue to wait. Xiaolei and I will go to the river to take a look."
"I understand, Captain Han." Su Wan responded.
On the way out, Qi Xiaolei asked, "Captain Han, is it really the stench of a corpse?"
Although Han Jianye had doubts, he still believed in Mai Shaozhen's judgment and said, "Let's observe for a few more days."
At this time, Ye Bai called Han Jianye and said that Guo Luojun had gone to play cards and had returned to the store, and asked them what they were doing?
"Then come to the river outside the city to find us," Han Jianye said.
When Ye Bai and Liao Wei arrived in the suburbs, they saw Han Jianye's car from afar. I found him and Qi Xiaolei exploring something on both sides of the river.
The river is very long, extending forward for dozens of meters. There is also an osmanthus tree full of white flowers beside the river. The fragrant scent of the flowers floats in the breeze.
Qi Xiaolei told Ye Bai and Liao Wei the information she had found out.
Ye Bai suggested: "Captain Han, should we go to the police stations in each jurisdiction to see if there are any missing persons reported in the past few days?"
Han Jianye smoked his cigarette silently. "I have thought about your question, but we don't have a body to compare with. We don't know whether the deceased is a man or a woman, so we have no idea where to start."
"Captain Han, I have a bold hypothesis. What if the murderer is Guo Luojun? Zhao Lingxue accidentally went to the corpse hiding place, but she was unaware of it. She didn't smell the stench of the corpse because of her nasal congestion. However, the stench of the corpse was accidentally absorbed by her clothes or skin and was smelled by Sister Shaozhen. This means that Zhao Lingxue went to the corpse hiding place last night and went to the restaurant to pack up fast food as soon as she came back."
After hearing this, Han Jianye looked at Ye Bai and stared at him for a moment. Then he came up with an idea and picked up his phone to call Su Wan.
Half an hour later
"I really didn't pick up any money in the restaurant." Zhao Lingxue said excitedly.
Han Jianye looked her straight in the eyes and tried to comfort her: "Please don't get excited. We are just following the procedures. We will ask you questions later. As long as you answer truthfully, you can go back."
"Okay, okay. I will cooperate." Zhao Lingxue said.
"Did you go to the Heyue Restaurant at 9:30 last night to grab a portion of spicy chicken and white rice?"
Zhao Lingxue nodded in response. "I had a stuffy nose for a few days due to rhinitis and couldn't smell anything. Then my friend suggested that I eat some chili peppers to stimulate my nose and maybe it would be unblocked. So I went to the restaurant and ordered a spicy chicken. I really didn't find 2,000 cash in the restaurant. Could it be that someone eating in the restaurant picked it up?"
"good."
Han Jianye pretended to understand and continued to ask: "Where did you come from before going to the restaurant? Please answer truthfully."
"Where?"
"Yes, this is our interrogation process, just answer truthfully."
"My adoptive mother's house. I went to give her some fruit last night, but she wasn't at home, so I put the fruit down and went back."
After hearing this, Han Jianye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is your adoptive mother's home?"
"She lives alone at No. 10, Lane 8, Taoxi Village."
Han Jianye then asked, "Besides your foster mother's house, did you go anywhere else last night?"
Zhao Lingxue shook her head. "No, I bought some fast food and went straight home after I left my foster mother's house."
"So what's your adoptive mother's name? How old is she?"
"My adoptive mother's name is Zhao Ximei, and she is 45 years old this year."
"Okay, that's it for now. You can go back." Han Jianye stood up and said.
When Zhao Lingxue left, she once again assured Han Jianye that she had not picked up any cash in the hotel.
Han Jianye of course knew that she didn't pick up the money, he just asked her to go back and wait for news. The incident of a customer losing money in the hotel was originally a pretext for summoning her over for questioning.
Liao Wei couldn't help but give Han Jianye a thumbs up, "Captain Han, this is a really great move."
Ye Bai stood beside Liao Wei and smiled gently, thinking: Once Han Jianye can get the information out, they can proceed to the next step.
Han Jianye strode forward and said to them, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go to Taoxi Village quickly."
Sitting in the car, Ye Bai said: "Zhao Lingxue has only been to her adoptive mother's house, and Zhao Ximei is not at home. Coincidentally, she just happened to have rhinitis and nasal congestion. Captain Han, this is too coincidental."
"Well, too many coincidences are a problem," Han Jianye responded.
Then, Ye Bai seemed to remember something. He took out a portable medicine box and gently nudged Han Jianye with his foot.
Han Jianye turned his head slightly to look at him, and when he saw the portable medicine box in his hand, he said nothing, but just opened his palm cooperatively, watched Ye Bai pour two vitamin pills into his palm, and then he also took two pills.
Han Jianye glanced at Ye Bai's face with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. Then he smiled and threw the vitamins into his mouth and started chewing.
In the dim car, Qi Xiaolei saw the tacit understanding and naturalness of the two. She lowered her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her bright eyes were filled with a look of confusion.
She always trusts her sixth sense.

Ye Bai had forgotten about this matter, but for some reason he suddenly remembered it, as if reminding Han Jianye to take vitamins had been engraved in his mind, and he would always remember it subconsciously.
