Chapter 158 Double Clues: Confirmed Evidence

Li Meijia stammered, "I... I don't know where he is. I haven't been to his house."

"Ms. Li, if you continue to protect him, we can reasonably suspect that you are his accomplice and you are conspiring to kill." Fang Rui said, "So you'd better cooperate with our investigation honestly."

Li Meijia struggled for a while, and she quickly made the best choice.

She loved Ding Zhuangzhuang very much, but she loved her money more. She would soon inherit a large inheritance. As long as she had money, she could have any man she wanted in the future? She didn't need to protect a man who she didn't know whether he would love her for the rest of her life for the sake of so-called love.

"He is a mechanic, working in a repair shop." Li Meijia said, "I met him when I was repairing cars in that shop. I can take you to find him!"

Xiao Zhang whispered, "Boss, Ding Zhuangzhuang is a mechanic, there is oil on the wrench, the murderer can't be him?"

Li Meijia took Fang Rui and others to a repair shop in the old city, but they searched for a long time in the shop and didn't see Ding Zhuangzhuang at all.

The shop owner said, "Ding Zhuangzhuang hasn't come to work for several days. I sent him a message, but he didn't reply. I don't know where he went. When I paid his salary yesterday, I asked him if he wanted the salary, but he didn't reply to my message."

"Since when did he not come to work?" Fang Rui asked.

"On the 24th. He never skipped work before, but he didn't ask for leave that day and suddenly didn't come. My phone couldn't be reached."

"Do you know where he lives?"

"It seems to be nearby. I don't know where he lives exactly. The area in the back is full of outsiders. He should rent a house there. The rent there is cheap."

Fang Rui looked at Li Meijia.

Li Meijia shook her head quickly and said, "I don't know where he lives. He didn't let me take him home, and he refused to take me to his house. He said his house was too dirty and messy, and it was not suitable for me to go there."

Xiao Zhang couldn't help asking, "Ms. Li, what do you like about him?"

"Appearance! He looks like a male star I like. And he has a good figure."

Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang took Ding Zhuangzhuang's photo and asked the nearby stores one by one.

The proprietress of a breakfast shop recognized him. "This guy lives in the leftmost room on the third floor of the building at the back. Did he commit a crime? Oh, this guy is not clean at all. He stole the battery of my electric car half a month ago."

"Why didn't you call the police at that time?"

"I have no evidence."

"...How can you be sure that he stole it without evidence?"

"He looks like a gangster! He has yellow hair, no proper job, doesn't greet people, and is from another place. Last time, the staff came to do the census, they knocked on the door for a long time, but he didn't open it. But he was in the room. I saw him smoking inside from the window. This kind of person must have a criminal record, otherwise why doesn't he even have an ID card?"

"How do you know he doesn't have an ID card?"

"The house he rented belongs to my aunt. My aunt asked him to provide a copy of his ID card, but he said he lost it. My aunt then asked him to report his ID number, but he just wrote down a string of random numbers. When we checked, we found out the number was fake."

"Then you still rented the house to him?"

"It's 150 yuan a month. If you don't rent it to him, it will just be idle. We have many houses but few tenants here, so there's no choice."

"..."

Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang found the building and went to the room on the far left of the third floor. However, they knocked on the door for a long time and there was no movement inside. Instead, his neighbor opened the door angrily.

"Why are you knocking? It's broad daylight, won't it disturb people?"

Fang Rui showed him a photo of Ding Zhuangzhuang and asked, "Does Ding Zhuangzhuang live here?"

"So his name is Ding Zhuangzhuang! Yes, the person in the photo lives in this room." The neighbor stretched out his foot and gently kicked the door, and the door opened. "Go in and see if he's here. Don't knock on the door again, it's disturbing my game."

With a bang, the neighbor closed the door.

Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang smelled a pungent smell before they entered the room.

The curtains in the room were drawn and it was pitch black. Fang Rui turned on the light and saw a mess on the floor. There

were a lot of debris piled on the floor, including cardboard boxes, clothes and socks, and several wine bottles, one of which was Maotai liquor.

There seemed to be a lot of stuff stuffed under the bed. From the exposed corner, it could be seen that it was a luxury handbag.

In the middle of a pile of garbage and debris, there was a person lying flat. It was Ding Zhuangzhuang, whom they had been looking for.

"Boss, Ding Zhuangzhuang is not dead, is he?"

Fang Rui walked up to him, stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and found that he was still breathing.

"He should just be drunk."

"Boss, look at his hand!" Xiao Zhang pointed at the back of Ding Zhuangzhuang's hand and said in surprise, "There are scratches on the back of his hand!"

They soon discovered that there were a bunch of luxury goods hidden under the bed, as well as a high-end watch. Fang Rui also found two latest models of fruit mobile phones on the table.

Fang Rui asked Xiao Wang and others to come over and collect evidence at the scene.

Xiao Li cracked the screen lock passwords of the two phones. From the phone contacts, it can be seen that the two phones belonged to Wang Yonghua and Sun Xiaoning respectively.

"Is he too arrogant, or does he have no anti-detection awareness at all?" Xiao Li couldn't help but complain, "Even a thief who stole a phone would know to flash it, but he just threw away the SIM card and didn't do anything to the phone. Isn't this leaving evidence for us to catch him?"

Others had the same question.

If Ding Zhuangzhuang is really the murderer, then he is too stupid. He didn't even know to hide the stolen goods and just threw them on the ground.

After a long time, until it was dark, Ding Zhuangzhuang slowly sobered up. His brain felt like it was blown up, and he was in great pain. He tried hard to open his eyes.

While waiting for him to sober up, Fang Rui and his team had already taken Ding Zhuangzhuang's hair for DNA testing, and the results showed that the DNA left at the crime scene was Ding Zhuangzhuang's.

And the luxury items in his room were also those purchased by Wang Yonghua and Sun Xiaoning that night.

Xiao Zhang patted his face gently and said, "Hey, don't sleep, there are some things I need you to explain."

Ding Zhuangzhuang looked at Xiao Zhang with a dull look in his eyes.

"You're not sober yet, are you?" Xiao Zhang waved his hand in front of his eyes, but Ding Zhuangzhuang still didn't respond.

Fang Rui picked up the bottle of Moutai on the ground, and found that the words "Maotai" were written on the bottle. The outer packaging of the wine is exactly the same as the real Moutai. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it at all.

There is still a little wine in the bottle. Fang Rui smelled it and smelled a smell of low-quality alcohol.

"He may have drunk fake wine. Hurry up and call 120 to send him to the hospital!"
