Chapter 493: Meng Yanchuan: Words That Cannot Be Said (Extra 5)

Erwazi actually felt quite aggrieved, because he clearly did nothing ten years ago.

However, he was accused of murder and spent several years in jail for nothing.

If he had not never given up and kept complaining, he would not have been able to clear his name by finding some clues in several missing children cases five years later.

But the label of murderer is stuck on me and I can't take it off.

During the years since he was released from prison, Erwazi has never given up on finding the real murderer. In order to find the real murderer, he has worked as a courier sorter, delivered water, delivered takeout, and worked as a network administrator.

It was not until the wasteland bones case a few days ago that the police issued a notice to claim the remains of the deceased.

Erwazi recognized one of Li Yangyang's belongings and remembered the child who once lived in the same town with him.

So, he decided to return to his hometown to see if he could find the murderer.

But he never expected that his elderly father would be murdered just after he returned.

Meng Yanchuan listened to his hysterical rebuttal and his expression gradually became serious.

But at this moment he did not completely believe what Erwazi said.

When Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que arrived, the whole town was shrouded in a shadow of fear.

The two men were relatively low-key, dressed simply, and Shen Que even wore glasses to look more refined.

As soon as they entered the town, they heard many rumors, all of which were about Erwazi's father being killed on a rainy night.

The two found a small shop that was doing booming business and sat down. Shen Que was responsible for listening to gossip, while Meng Zhiyi was responsible for contacting Meng Yanchuan.

Meng Yanchuan was surprised to receive her call.

"The murderer is still in the town, you have to be careful. This place is small, and it would be easy for outsiders to find him."

Meng Zhiyi listened to what Meng Yanchuan said on the other end of the phone, thought for a moment and said, "Third brother, send me the location of the hotel, Shen Que and I will come to see you later."

Meng Yanchuan: "Okay."

Afterwards, the two stayed in the shop for a while, then walked around the town and got a feel for the terrain before they found the hotel where Meng Yanchuan was staying.

Because a murder had just happened, the front desk was more serious in checking the ID when checking in.

While waiting, Meng Zhiyi leaned lazily on Shen Que, half-squinting her eyes and looking at the somewhat dazzling sunlight shining through the glass door.

At this moment, she accidentally saw a man wearing a mask sitting in the snack bar across the street.

In theory, wearing a mask is not a strange thing.

But Meng Zhiyi noticed that when the man looked over, he kept turning his head to look around, frequently looking at his watch and other small movements.

Her eyes sank slightly and her expression became serious. She then took out her cell phone, pretending to be a mirror, and took a picture of the man from a selfie angle.

"Okay, your room is on the third floor." At this time, the front desk had completed the check-in and interrupted Meng Zhiyi's actions.

At this time, the man across the street also stood up and left in a hurry.

Meng Zhi followed him out subconsciously, but the street was crowded with people coming and going, and the man soon disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Shen Que came over and asked puzzledly.

Meng Zhiyi: "I just saw a strange person."

Shen Que scanned the crowd but found nothing.

"Let's go back to the room first." He held out his hand and led her upstairs.

Their room was right next to the street. After Meng Zhiyi went in, she went to the window and looked down, but she never saw the man again.

She lowered the curtains, sat down on the bed and began to examine the photo she had just taken.

The hotel conditions in small places are naturally not as good as those in the capital. Shen Que walked around the room and checked whether there were any pinhole cameras before he felt relieved.

He sat down next to Meng Zhiyi and saw her enlarging a photo. He curiously leaned over to take a look.

"Is this the strange man you were talking about?"

Meng Zhiyi nodded: "Yeah, the behavior is too sneaky, it's hard not to notice it."

Shen Que leaned his head on her shoulder, his eyes fixed on the screen of his mobile phone.

He suddenly said, "He should be about 1.75 meters tall."

Meng Zhi was surprised and asked, "How can you be sure?"

Shen Que tapped the screen with his fingertips and said, "The freezer next to him can be used as a reference. This type of freezer is usually between 1.8 and 2 meters. Plus, he is sitting, so we can roughly calculate it."

“It’s not exact, but it’s close.”

Meng Zhiyi looked at him with sparkling eyes, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Shen Que was somewhat puzzled by the stare, and raised his hand to pinch her face in amusement: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Meng Zhiyi: "My husband is handsome, can't I look at him a few more times?"

Shen Que chuckled, hugged her and kissed her: "Okay, look at it however you want."

After resting for a few minutes, the two went downstairs to find Meng Yanchuan.

"Third brother, you are too rash. How could you come here to investigate such a dangerous matter without consulting your family?"

The first thing Meng Zhiyi did when he entered the door was to scold everyone.

Meng Yanchuan stood aside, lowered his head and listened humbly. He didn't look like a brother.

Shen Que also stood aside and pretended not to hear anything.

But looking at Meng Zhiyi's serious and disciplining expression, I immediately remembered the scene of her disciplining the two little kids at home.

Meng Yanchuan waited until she finished speaking before answering in a gentle voice, "I was inconsiderate and made you worry."

"Hmph." Meng Zhiyi snorted arrogantly.

Meng Yanchuan adjusted his glasses and asked with a smile, "How did you find this place?"

Meng Zhiyi: "Isn't it easy to check your whereabouts?"

Hearing this, Meng Yanchuan touched his nose and whispered, "Little sister, it is illegal to randomly investigate citizens' whereabouts and information."

Meng Zhiyi: "Are you an ordinary citizen? You are my brother."

Meng Yanchuan: "..." Okay, what my little sister said is right.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Shen Que tried to smooth things over.

After the three of them sat down, they began to exchange information.

Before coming, Shen Que specifically asked Wang Xiao to investigate the residents living near the wasteland.

The area around there used to be a rural area, but with economic development, it has been expanded into an economic zone to be developed in recent years.

The residents in the surrounding areas also built small buildings, and rented rooms specifically to outsiders who came to Beijing to work, so the flow of people and the population were very complex.

That piece of wasteland has always been idle and no one usually goes there.

But it is said that some time ago someone came to inspect the wasteland and wanted to build a residential building.

At that time, people were hired to survey the area nearby.

Shen Que: "The place where the bones were found is actually the most hidden place in the wasteland. Wang Xiao once climbed to the roof of a nearby residential building to overlook it."

"That location is at the very back. If you are not familiar with the environment, you will not be able to find it."

After hearing this, the brother and sister naturally understood.

Meng Zhiyi: "So, the murderer is very familiar with the terrain and has even been to the scene for investigation more than once."

Meng Yanchuan: "The murderer, in addition to being a local resident, could also be the hired man."
