Chapter 413: Accomplice - Identification (Part )

Six accomplices in the case
Chapter 72 Identification (Part 1)
Zhou You followed Jiang Mo and Xiao Letian in a daze and ran a breathless 800 meters. With a head full of paste, he walked around Tu Siyao's house as if it was a routine. With a wrinkled face, as if he had something to say but didn't know whether to ask or not, he leaned with his shoe tip against a willow tree on the roadside at the end of the night market. The tree was struck by lightning and only had a few young leaves left.

She first stretched out her arm to take the burrito that Xiao Letian had just brought back from the snack stand at the intersection, then leaned over her old classmate's shoulder to glance at Officer Jiang who was chatting with the big sister at the snack stand, and put her hand on Xiao Letian's left shoulder, "Aren't you looking for the suspected accomplice of the suspect? You just answered a phone call and talked about security guard Xiao Song halfway through, and now you run to Beixi Street to find Tu Siyao's home..."

Xiao Letian dodged Zhou You's shoulder, and after being hit by a hammer of iron fist, he rubbed his painful arm and raised his hands in surrender, turning back to look in Jiang Mo's direction: "Tu Siyao is the eyewitness next to the Qingyun Yaju garbage station, sister, have you forgotten the back of your head? What a coincidence that she lives in such a place that Xue Yilian seems to be very familiar with playing hide-and-seek. The suspect who is still waiting for an opportunity to investigate has been tossing around the eyewitness's residence. Although Officer Chen can keep an eye on the security guard Xiao Song, there is still Xue Yilian who has disappeared after all - I don't know if Tu Siyao is too careless... It's a pity that she is fine -"

Zhou You took a few big bites of the burrito, his cheeks bulging with chewing, and suddenly he heard a slight turn of phrase at the end of Xiao Letian's words. Just as he raised his brows at the sound of the hissing sound, Jiang Mo leisurely walked up to the willow tree with an oversized pancake in his hand, raised his chin and nodded in acknowledgement, and asked a question that he had not had time to ask at Tu Siyao's house just now.

"I just wanted to ask... It seems like Tu Siyao is quite familiar with you. Isn't Beixi Subdistrict under your jurisdiction? How did you get to know each other?"

"…This is a bit embarrassing to talk about. My acquaintance with her was purely accidental."

When this was mentioned, Zhou You's face fell into helplessness. She put her doubts aside for the time being and sighed vaguely, "Remember those two kids who got drunk and caused trouble and were punished to paint our paint shop? That was before the incident in Dianye Nanli Community... Those two little bastards were drunk and wandered around the streets in the middle of the night, chasing Tu Siyao to sing, and said they wanted to paint her portrait-"

"At midnight, the two of them blocked Tu Siyao on the roadside and wanted to go back to get his drawing board. Less than two minutes later, the police station next door received a call and took him back to sober him up. I don't know why, but at first Tu Siyao refused to accept mediation. The two drunkards were familiar faces next door. They mainly saw that they were young, so they wanted to give them a chance to reform after educating them. Later, they contacted me, and I took them and chased Tu Siyao to apologize for a week. That's how we got to know each other." Zhou You put another piece of burrito in his mouth, waved his hand to put aside this somewhat speechless old story, and with a stomach full of inexplicable intuition, he sighed softly: "Sister, Tu Siyao... is there something wrong?"

"It's obvious that someone unexpected has come to Tu Siyao's house."

Jiang Mo frowned slightly, swallowed a mouthful of hot pancake with a hiss, took out his phone, flipped through the latest photo and handed it to Zhou You to take a look: "There are fruits in plastic bags in the room. It is very likely that her good friend Fu Yang has just visited, but the way her room is tidy is a bit... strange. The water from mopping the corners is not dry yet, and the corridor where she walks back and forth is already covered with messy marks. It has not been wiped carefully at all. And Zhou You, did you smell the smell of burnt paper in her room?"

"I wiped the edge of the stove with my hand. Did you smell the smell of burning paper? And the stove was scorching hot. There was no sign of cooking in the kitchen... I just don't know where the burnt thing came from."

Xiao Letian lowered his eyes to receive Zhou You's gaze, and stretched his unwashed and red fingers under Zhou You's nose to twiddle them. When he saw her come close and sniff twice, he raised his eyebrows and pushed his hand away. He turned around and gestured the direction of the snack stand cart and the location of Tu Siyao's apartment building: "This snack stand can just see the direction of Tu Siyao's building entrance." "But the distance is really far. I took the photos of Xue Yilian and Song Yike and showed them to my elder sister. There is no hope for a detailed look, but the fact that a figure with big waves, a hat and a black outfit entered and exited Tu Siyao's apartment door is at least 80% credible."

Jiang Mo raised his head slightly, looked around at the surveillance footage on the street, took a deep breath, and put his hand heavily on Zhou You's shoulders, which had collapsed after he had just stuffed the burrito.

"Let's go and see if we can find any clues from the surveillance... If that doesn't work, we can go to the neighborhood committee and check all the communities around Huabin Middle Road No. 2 Primary School."

Jiang Mo's lofty ambitions fell on deaf ears, but the area near the primary school was crowded with people and cars, and a few streets away was the cultural and tourism street of Shengbei District. Apart from catching a few suspicious figures passing by, the two-day search and investigation with low cooperation yielded almost nothing - a few petty thieves, troublemakers and harassers on the street were caught.

…This is not the end yet.

Xue Yilian and Song Yike had not yet found any trace of twists and turns in the lake that was stirred up by primary school students and tourists every day. The street community didn't know who leaked the news of the criminal police investigation, and the Criminal Investigation Detachment's large-scale action made everyone panic. Several streets gathered together for a meeting in less than half a day, and each sent a few building managers who solemnly wore red armbands. Under the banner of protecting the safety and stability of residents' lives, they surrounded the two black and blue uniforms of the Criminal Investigation Detachment who were sent to cooperate in the investigation, and surrounded them on the benches in the police reception hall of Nanyang Road Police Station.

Xiaomi Lu, holding his laptop, shrank in the crowd like a quail. With tears in his eyes, he looked over the heads of the old men and women to see Jiang Mo, who had just brought back a bag of milk and bread from the store outside the police station. Then, following Jiang Mo's instructions, he turned his head and gave a pitiful look to Chief Zhou, who had just been pulled down from the office building by Zhou You.

"He is Gu Xing's disciple. He has many dirty tricks."

Zhou Feng lifted up the collar that was pulled crooked by his own daughter, raised his eyebrows and looked predictably at Jiang Mo who was standing outside the crowd in plain clothes watching the excitement, curled his lips and laughed and muttered a few words, "This little noise caused so much trouble that even if we knocked on the door we couldn't find anyone, now they are all here... Let's go, the big conference room is reserved for you."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
