Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 953 The Sixth Death (6)
"Being murdered? Didn't you think of jumping off a cliff to commit suicide?" He was very shocked.

"Who said he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff?"

"I heard it from his parents."

"I heard that you and him once sold magu together?"

"I'm a legitimate businessman, how could I possibly sell Magu? That's a poisonous business, and you'll be jailed or even beheaded." He shook his hands vigorously.

Jiang Yiming knew that it was impossible to get him to admit to being a drug addict without evidence, but it would take time to investigate whether he was a drug addict. They didn't have time, so they could only leave his matter to the anti-drug brigade.

"May I ask what your occupation is?"

"Oh, my friends and I jointly run a shoe factory called Yifan Shoe Factory. I hold 25% of the shares. The dividends from these shares are enough for me to live a moderate life, so I don't need to sell mogu... Come on, Please drink tea." He handed the tea cup to them.

"We don't care whether you are drug dealers or not. I will hand this matter over to the Anti-Narcotics Brigade. Yi Renshui was murdered and everyone related to him is our suspect, including you..."

"Captain Jiang, this is an injustice to me. How could I let go of my good days and not go and kill someone? What's more, the person I killed was a good friend?" he said with great grievance.

"There is a way to clear your mind."

"any solution?"

"Excuse me, around 10 o'clock in the morning on October 15th, where were you? What were you doing?"

"I like night life, I will definitely be sleeping at home at that hour."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"My parents and I live in this house. Except for my parents, I don't think anyone can prove it." He touched his bald head and said.

"What do your parents do?"

"They are vegetable farmers, a pair of very hard-working farmers. In fact, we no longer need them to work in the fields, but they are working hard and can't stay idle. There is nothing I can do about them."

"That means they went out to work and you were still sleeping at home?"

"Correct."

"Then how can they prove you were sleeping at home?"

"This... you are right. I have relatively little time with my parents. They have their own world, and I have my own space. I usually get up after noon to eat, and I often don't eat at home. I am an unfilial son. "He said ashamedly.

"Are you going home to sleep on the night of October 10th?"

"probably."

"Yes, it is, no, it is not, what should be, I need your clear answer."

"Yes."

"What time was it?"

"Around two o'clock in the morning on the 15th."

"Did you drive home or take a taxi?"

"I went out to drink, and I couldn't drive after drinking, so I took a taxi home." He said as he thought.

"Do you still remember the license plate number?"

"Isn't this embarrassing me? When I go home sober, I can't remember the license plate number of the taxi, let alone when I'm drunk?" He looked helpless.

“Where did you come home from drinking?”

"I sang at the Xintiandi KTV on Dongfeng North Road. After I finished, I took a taxi home from the door of the Xintiandi Hotel."

"Which private room are you singing in?"

"In room 206." He said without hesitation.

"Do you know who Yi Renshui has offended?"

"I don't know about that. Although we are good friends, we rarely get together. After all, he has to work and I am a night owl."

"Okay, let's talk about this today. If you think of anything useful for us to solve the case, please call me. You are Yi Renshui's good friend. You should hope that we solve the case as soon as possible, right?"

"That's natural." Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting walked out of Zuo Ming's home and went to Xintiandi KTV. The KTV was on the second floor of the Xintiandi Hotel. There were monitors in the corridor of Room 206.They walked into the monitoring room and told the security guard on duty that they wanted to review the surveillance video from the early morning of October 10, but the security guard said that they needed the permission of their manager.

Jiang Yiming asked the security guards to call the manager. One of the security guards said that the manager might still be sleeping.Jiang Yiming asked him to give him the manager's mobile phone number, and he had no choice but to do so.Jiang Yiming entered the manager's number into the dial pad of his mobile phone and dialed. The phone was connected, but no one answered.

Jiang Yiming continued to redial, and it wasn't until he redialed for the third time that the other party answered the call. As soon as he opened his mouth, he cursed: "What bastard, you came so early to disturb my peaceful dream. Believe it or not, I will sue you for harassment." crime?"

"I am Jiang Yiming from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau. Please be civilized and don't curse. It's almost 12 noon now. The mayor goes to work at 9 o'clock, and you are still sleeping."

"Oh, it's Captain Jiang. I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. What instructions do you have?"

"We need to access the surveillance video of your KTV. The security guard said that we need your consent, otherwise we will not cooperate. Come to Xintiandi KTV to help us."

"Okay, okay, I'll be right away. I live right across the street."

After a while, the manager came and he personally operated and pulled out the surveillance video they wanted.Zhou Ting went to watch the video and Jiang Yiming was asking the security guard.Zhou Ting asked the manager to advance the video to 15 a.m. on the 1th and start watching it from then on.

He sat down and checked patiently. He saw 1:02 from 30 o'clock, but there was no Zuo Ming in the surveillance video. This made people suspicious. Could it be that Zuo Ming was lying?

Zhou Ting asked the manager if there was any other exit from Room 206?The manager said no, the only entrance and exit was the door on the corridor.Jiang Yiming asked the manager to call the waiter who was looking at room 206. The manager did not dare to disobey and called the waiter Li Mei.

When Li Mei came, she was a little nervous and didn't know what mistake she had made.Jiang Yiming asked: "Xiao Li, please don't be nervous. We want to know the situation from you. Do you know this person?" Jiang Yiming handed her Zuo Ming's photo on his phone.

"I know him. He is Mr. Zuo. He often comes to our place to sing." Her voice was very soft. She looked at the manager as she spoke. For fear that she would say the wrong thing, Jiang Yiming asked the manager to go out first. The manager had no choice but to go out.

"On the night of October 10th, was he singing in Room 14 with his friends?"

She rolled her eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zuo didn't sing in room 206 that night."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." She nodded and clasped her hands together.

"Okay, you can go." Jiang Yiming said to her, and she walked out with relief.

Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting came to the parking lot. After getting in the car, Zhou Ting said, "It seems Zuo Ming is dishonest."

"Yes, he must have lied, but why did he lie? Didn't he think we would check the surveillance video?"

"Maybe he was lucky and thought we wouldn't check the surveillance video."

"Let's go to his house again." Jiang Yiming said, Zhou Ting started the car and drove towards Zuo Ming's house.

Half an hour later, they reappeared in front of Zuo Ming. Zuo Ming was slightly surprised, but pretended to be calm and still received them warmly.

Jiang Yiming's attitude was different from the first time he came. He asked sternly: "Zuo Ming, why did you lie to us? We have already gone to Xintiandi KTV to check the surveillance video. You didn't sing in room 206 at all that night. You said , are you going to Laishan to ambush Yi Renshui?"

"Sorry, sorry, Captain Jiang, I remembered wrongly. I sang in Room 10 of Xintiandi KTV on October 13th."

"Where were you in the early morning of October 10th?"

"I... I went to Xiyan City with my friends... We all had a great time and drank a lot. We didn't dare to drive home, so we booked a room in the Changle Hotel and slept until we had lunch the next day. Come back." He looked embarrassed.

"Why are you lying to us?"

"Captain Jiang, I didn't mean to deceive you. I really regarded No. 13 as No. 14."

"who are you going with?"

"I'm going with Tang Feng."

"If you lie again this time, you should prepare early and go to the detention center to stay for a while." Jiang Yiming didn't want to talk to him more because he was afraid of wasting time, so he asked Zhou Ting to drive to Xiyan City and go to Changle The hotel reviewed the surveillance video to prove whether Zuo Ming was lying.

"Captain Jiang, why did Zuo Ming lie?"

"Either he did something shameful in Xiyan City, or he went to Matouya to ambush Yi Renshui." Jiang Yiming was worried that Zuo Ming would be murdered or abscond in fear of crime.So, he called Huang Hua and asked him to send someone to monitor Zuo Ming.Huang Hua agreed to do so.

After they arrived in Xiyan City, they drove into Changle Hotel.After they parked the car, they went to the lobby to find the manager and asked to see the accommodation registration.The manager readily agreed.She turned on the computer at the front desk and entered Zuo Ming's name. After a few seconds, Zuo Ming's accommodation registration record popped up: He checked in at 10:14 on October 17 and checked out at 17:15 on the 10th. , he lives in room 31.

Zuo Ming rented a standard room, and two people lived together, one of whom was Tang Feng.Of course, this doesn't mean anything. Jiang Yiming needed to access the surveillance video at that time, and the manager said it was no problem. So, she took them to the surveillance room and asked the security guard to record the 10th floor corridor from October 14th to the early morning of October 15th. The surveillance video was pulled out for them to check.

保安点点头，便坐到操作台上去操作，把当时的录像调出来让他俩查看。录像显示：左明和唐风于10月14日17:25进入1809房，于18:02走出1809房，他们身上都背着一个挎包。

It was not until 10:15 in the morning on October 02 that Zuo Ming and Tang Feng entered Room 20, and they did not walk out of the room until 1809:10 on October 15, and then checked out in the lobby.Therefore, Zuo Ming's suspicion was eliminated.However, judging from the mysterious behavior of Zuo Ming and Tang Feng, they are likely to sell drugs. However, Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting did not have time to investigate.
