Chapter 77
Song Zhou walked out of the Aegean Apartment and just got into the back seat of a taxi when he suddenly heard the sound of sudden brakes.
I looked back through the rear windshield and saw a police car parked behind me and two people jumped out of the car.
One is Chang Ting and the other is Zhang You.
Song Zhou's pupils shrank sharply. Had he been discovered?
But Chang Ting and Zhang You rushed into the apartment in a hurry.
Song Zhou slowly exhaled.
It seems that Chang Ting also noticed Xiao Qiang's little trick.
What a close call. Just seconds away from a face-to-face encounter with Chang Ting. This guy has such a sharp eye that even the most confident person would be intimidated if they met face-to-face, and their true colors would inevitably be exposed.

Half an hour ago, the task force office was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
Zhou Zhengzheng gained nothing.
When Yu Aiai draws a character, she first draws two horizontal lines, then two vertical lines, crossing each other to form the character "井".
Among the teachers, teaching assistants, workers, and even canteen chefs at the base... there is no one with the surname Jing in the list of all teaching staff, or anyone whose surname begins with the character "井" or has a name close to "井".
Zhou Zhengzheng remembered that Yu Aiai read "谶" as "非".
A thought came to her mind, and she said doubtfully, "Could she have made a typo or dropped the pen?"
Chang Ting looked up from the computer, speechless.
If this is true, he must go and ask Yu Aiai's parents in person why they don't pay enough attention to her studies.
He said in a hollow voice, "Choose a faculty member from the base from the list and meet with him to confirm whether there are any missing people on the list. Remember, don't look for Zhu Zangmo."
Zhou Zhengzheng was about to say that the most direct way was to go to the principal, but he was stunned when he heard this: "Why?"
Chang Ting pondered for a moment and said, "After a few encounters, I feel like there's something fishy about Zhu Zangmo. In short, avoid him first. If you continue to meet him, you'll scare the rabbit."
"Okay..." Zhou Zhengzheng agreed.
He turned to Zhang You who was not far away and said, "Zhang You, didn't you find any information about Jiangzhu City?"
Last time at Xingchang Art Store, Zhu Zangmo took out Qiu Yue’s tuition payment receipt, which was the money remitted from Jiangzhu City.
Afterwards, Chang Ting checked Qiu Yue's bank card transactions and found many inflows of several thousand yuan, probably living expenses or pocket money, all from ATMs in Jiangzhu City.
The identity of the remitter remains untraceable.
Five years ago, when the case broke, his father insisted that he had covered all of Qiu Yue's expenses. A retrial revealed that his father had never worked in Jiangzhu City and had lied.
The purpose is obviously to claim compensation and extort money.
So Chang Ting arranged for Zhang You to check Qiu Yue's social relations, including relatives who seemed to have no contact with her, to see if there was anyone related to Jiangzhu City.
Zhang You pulled his head out from the pile of documents and answered with empty eyes, "No."
He said with a bitter face, "Brother Chang, are you still checking? Is this information useful?"
"Whether it works or not, we'll know after we check it out." He pinched his brow with his fingernails, leaving a mark. "Change direction and check Qiu Yue's communication records... Oh, right, there's no record of her communication."
The communication company's communication records can be kept for six months. Five years ago, after Qiu Yue's disappearance was filed, the police retrieved her communication records and found no mobile phone calls.
This doesn't mean she hasn't made phone calls before, because some people are used to talking on WeChat.
But Qiu Yue's phone disappeared along with her. Five years later, her body was discovered beneath a bush of flowers, but her phone was never found.
WeChat's call records are stored in the user's mobile phone, and WeChat's official server does not save call records.
If you can’t find your phone, you can’t check it.
Chang Ting corrected himself and said, "I remember checking her WeChat friends list from the official WeChat account, but I didn't find anything. Check it again and see if there's anyone from Jiangzhu City, or anyone who looks suspicious to you. Pick them out."
"Okay..." Zhang You wiped his face fiercely and rummaged through the pile of papers.
Chang Ting leaned back over the computer and repeatedly compared the images of the "cleaner" in Aegean Apartment, the "male nurse" in the hospital, and the "man in black" who disappeared on Chunzhi Street.
It is confirmed that the "cleaner" is the "male caregiver", but the "man in black"... sometimes he looks like him, and sometimes he doesn't.
That's a bit strange. Either it's the same person, or...
Chang Ting muttered to himself, "Why does it feel like one of them is imitating the other?"
Chang Ting was almost obsessed and simply turned off the video: "I need to find a gait recognition expert to take a look..."
He leaned back in his computer chair and muttered to himself, "Nothing makes sense, and nothing is right."
He closed his eyes, his mind racing through a multitude of details, trying to find something useful.
I just wanted to rest my sore eyes, but I accidentally fell asleep.
While I was sleeping, there was a rustling sound in the darkness.
It sounded like dense footsteps.
It was like countless skinny legs, taking small steps, approaching him quickly.
A bald head with long twin ponytails suddenly appeared in front of him.
He lost his balance and fell to the ground with a crash.
"Brother Chang!" "Master!"
A scream rang out above his head. Chang Ting opened his eyes and found himself falling off his computer chair to the ground. Two panicked faces were looking down at him.
"Are you okay, Master?" Zhou Zhengzheng asked.
Chang Ting's chest was still pounding with the palpitations from the nightmare. He lay on the ground and opened his mouth, wanting to say something about the giant cockroach in his dream, but what came out was: "Xiao Qiang."
He jumped up.
"Damn Xiao Qiang!"
Zhang You couldn't remember for a moment: "Who is Xiao Qiang?"
Zhou Zhengzheng was quick-witted: "Xiao Qiang, the owner of the B&B? What happened to him, Master?"
"You bastard, you're playing tricks on me!"
Chang Ting's head was like a steam locomotive, and black smoke was about to spew out of his ears.
Just now, in a half-asleep state, he recalled the scene when he first met Xiao Qiang on the day Yu Aiai had the accident.
At that time, he first spoke with Xiao Qiang on the phone, asked for Yu Aiai's room reservation information, and then went to the 17th floor.
Before Xiao Qiang could say anything, he hurriedly pressed the combination lock 1714.
However, the room had not been checked out at that time, and according to Xiao Qiang's reaction, he probably didn't know that it was tenant No. 1714 who fell from the building.
Then why did Xiao Qiang want to open the door directly?
At that time, he thought that Xiao Qiang was just panicking and confused when he saw the police.
Now that I think about it, perhaps Xiao Qiang knew that there was no one in the room.
In addition, the trace inspection report showed that there were slipper prints in the house, which were consistent with the slippers provided in the room.
At that time, it was analyzed that it was left by the second person in the room when he was cleaning the floor in slippers.
Xiao Qiang's slippers are the same style as the ones in the room. The men's slippers in the B&B are all the same size.
Before Chang Ting found him, he might have entered the room first!
What did he go in for?
We’ll know once we catch him and put him to trial!
"Zhang You, come with me!" He strode out.
Zhou Zhengzheng chased after him: "I'm going too!"
"Just do your job. It doesn't take three people to catch a cockroach!"
Chang Ting and Zhang You rushed to the Aegean Apartment in a hurry... and missed the black-skinned Song Zhou.
