Yu Sui still thought Zhang Jingqiu was bragging and couldn't help but tease her: "Hey, then tell me, when can this murderer be caught?"
Zhang Jingqiu frowned. "It's difficult. I heard someone saw a car at the crime scene, but couldn't remember the license plate. They only said it had two large headlights. Oh! There are only about 400 cars with large headlights in the entire capital. Where do you think we can find it?"
Yu Sui sat down next to her, grabbed her arm, and asked nervously, "How did you know this news?"
Zhang Jingqiu looked at her face and said, "Strange, why do you seem so nervous? What are you nervous about?"
Yu Sui: "I suddenly feel that if you tell me the details, maybe I can get a clue."
"Huh? Why do you have a clue?"
"First, tell me, where did you get the news that someone saw a car with big eyes and headlights?"
Zhang Jingqiu looked at Yu Sui's expression and became serious. He said:
"My dad's friend is an uncle I know very well. He's currently the director of the ** District Public Security Bureau in the capital. He came to my house yesterday and talked to my dad about this case and analyzed the circumstances. So I know what's going on. Otherwise, I'll tell you what I don't know. What they say is unfounded. I'm telling the truth."
Yu Sui: "So when they analyzed the case, they mentioned a car with big eyes?"
Zhang Jingqiu: "Yes. That's how I know there are more than 4,000 cars in our capital that the person who identified them mentioned. If we check them one by one, this case will take at least until the end of the year. Yu Sui, what do you want to tell me? Do you really have a clue?"
Yu Sui: "Wait a minute, let me ask you one more question. Is this really related to a car with big eyes?"
Zhang Jingqiu said seriously, "Yu Sui, I don't think you can't even tell whether this is true or not, right? If someone else said it, I wouldn't think it's true, but when I say it, it must be true. Otherwise, why would they publish this news in the newspaper? If it weren't absolutely necessary, such a case wouldn't be reported. Now we are looking for clues. Why are you still asking me this? I won't lie about such things."
Yu Sui: "I'm asking this because I'm afraid that if what I say doesn't match what you said, it might lead to big trouble. That would be terrible."
Zhang Jingqiu: "What clues do you have?"
Yu Sui leaned over to Zhang Jingqiu's ear and whispered, "I saw the same car at the train station before. I remember the license plate number, and I thought the driver was suspicious. When I saw the train station mentioned in the newspaper this morning, I couldn't help but think of this case. Maybe it's related to that person."
Zhang Jingqiu immediately pulled her up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see my uncle. They have very few clues right now, and you might be able to narrow down their search area. Even if it's not him, we can let the police try to find him. It won't be a big deal."
Yu Sui didn't stand up: "I've already taken a lot of leave. Let me finish my class this morning before I go with you."
"Hey, you bastard! If you had provided the information earlier and helped the Public Security Bureau solve the case sooner, wouldn't you have been doing them a favor? Because this case is extremely serious, the higher-ups are taking it seriously. The sooner it's solved, the better."
Yu Sui spread her hands. "I won't benefit from helping others achieve merit, but if I say something like that and they're wrongly accused, that would be a huge bummer, and I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life. I'm attending classes half a day, firstly because I don't want to be absent again, and also because I need to think about whether I should say this or not."
Zhang Jingchu was helpless: "You're... too cautious, but you do have a point. Come on, I'll listen to you for a while."
The two of them sat and listened to the class for half a day. At noon, Zhang Jingchu continued to pull Yu Sui away:
"Go! What are you afraid of? I'll take you to find my uncle. No one will know it was you who said that. What if your clues really help the police? That would be a great deed."
Yu Sui was thinking about how she felt when she met the man at the train station last time, the shiny car, and Xia Xiao'e's frightened eyes, and finally she followed Zhang Jingchu.
After following Zhang Jingchu on three public buses, we arrived at the Public Security Bureau in a district near the suburbs of the capital - a two-story building with a large courtyard.
Zhang Jingchu spoke a few words to the security guard, who then made a phone call and a young police officer in uniform came out to answer the call.
The police officer and Zhang Jingchu nodded, and without any extra words, they led the two people inside.
The two of them walked all the way to the office on the last floor. The young police officer gestured for them to go in and left.
I could see the office door was open, and a middle-aged man with a half-bald head was pacing inside.
Zhang Jingqiu walked in and called out sweetly, "Uncle Gu!"
The middle-aged man nodded anxiously: "Hey, Jingchu, you said you have something urgent to talk to me about? What is it? Uncle Gu is so anxious that he is scratching his head."
"I knew you were going to be so anxious you'd want to break your head, so I came looking for you. Well, this is my classmate." Zhang Jingchu moved aside, revealing Yu Sui. "She might have some clues about the case you told my dad about yesterday. Yu Sui, this is Director Gu."
"Really?" Director Gu immediately looked at Yu Sui: "What clue?"
Yu Sui took her time to greet him. "Hello, Director Gu. Actually, I'm not sure. I just feel that there are some coincidences between this incident and the case you mentioned."
"Come, sit down and talk." Director Gu quickly offered her a seat and even made tea for Yu Sui. "This case has a very serious impact. Tell us anything you know or suspect. We really need to know all kinds of information right now."
Yu Sui bit her lip and told the story of the man she met at the train station last time, and then commented:
"...I feel that even though that guy only patted me, it doesn't feel like he's done this before. He's incredibly slick and bold, way beyond my understanding of a gay man. I have a strong feeling he did it with a purpose: to find someone willing to get in his car. Director Gu, I saw in the newspaper that this woman was going to the train station to pick someone up. Could it be that she just happened to run into this guy?"
Director Gu nodded: "You summarized it very well, but based on this alone, this person is at most a hooligan."
Yu Sui: "I know, but the reason I doubt him and even dare to come here and say it is because I heard Zhang Jingchu say that you should find a car with big eyes in the headlights. That man's car has two big eyes."
Director Gu immediately stood up and went to the desk to retrieve two or three photos. "Look, there are three types of cars here. They are the most common models in our city. Which one did the person you met drive? Please point it out."
Yu Sui pointed to the one in the middle without hesitation: "This is it."
