Chapter 345 Hopeless Love
Does this string of numbers sound familiar?
That's right, these eight numbers remind people of the time on the ancient paintings of the Mi family. Although the time was translated by Min Xue himself, it is indeed the same pattern, 18196194.

Tsk, I don't know if it's a coincidence.

But Min Xue hasn't figured out the specific meaning of that string of numbers yet, yet another one appears here, which is very confusing.

Eight digits can refer to too many things.

Passwords, lottery tickets, and even house ownership certificates have eight digits.

And before, didn't Min Xue guess that it was a Penguin group account, and by the way, cracked a red envelope gambling group case?

Thinking of this, Min Xue couldn't help but took out his mobile phone to log in to the Penguin account, and entered the number to add the query.

Hmm. There is no such group/person.

Very good, one possibility has been ruled out, the optimists are full of energy.

"The time for this line of tattoos is not too long, it should not exceed three months," Lu Mantong added.

Min Xue heard the words and fell into deep thought.

That being the case, Xi Caiqing's tattoo should have been done locally in Shanghai.

There are many tattoo shops in such a big city, but if you really check it, you should be able to find it.

The question is, does this tattoo have anything to do with the detection of the case?Is it worth spending a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate?

Hard to say.

At least at this stage, it has nothing to do with it.

Min Xue felt that this line should be let go first.

Although I didn't figure out the meaning of the tattooed numbers on the corpse, but knowing the murder weapon, it was a worthwhile trip.

The autopsy is over, but the case itself remains in place.

According to the established plan, Min Xue called Xiao Li and went to the place where Xi Caiqing worked before his death, Modu Jiahe Technology Co., Ltd.

Although the scale of this technology company is not very large, it is only relative to its location in Shanghai.

In fact, a new type of material developed by this company is at the leading level in the industry, so the business is booming. The company even rented an entire floor in a well-known building as an office space.

As soon as you enter the gate of Jiahe Company, the first thing you see is the front desk girl in business attire.

The girl is about the same age as Xi Caiqing, has a similar figure, and looks equally good.

It seems that Jiahe Company has quite high requirements for the front desk, and the quality is quite good, but the girl's current mental state is not very good, and she looks a little haggard.

"Hello, we are the criminal investigators of the Municipal Bureau, and we have contacted your company before," Xiao Li took the initiative to step forward and said to the girl at the front desk.

The girl was a little fuzzy at first, but she woke up when she saw someone standing in front of her.

"Ah, oh, hello, Comrade Police, Mr. Liang has greeted you before, this way please, I'll take you there."

Min Xue was afraid that there would be another oolong, so he made a special contact before coming here, that's why the girl said so.

And the manager Liang she was talking about was a vice president in charge of research and development of the company. It seems that the company still paid more attention to the death of Xi Caiqing, and specially sent a vice president to take charge of it.

"No hurry, what's your name?" Min Xue stopped the girl and asked.

"Nancy," the girl said in a sad tone.

As the front desk, she and Xi Caiqing must be familiar with each other. Nancy may be feeling sad because of her companion's sudden departure. "Can I ask you a few questions first?" Min Xue asked in a gentle tone as much as possible.

Nancy froze for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"You should have a good relationship with Xi Caiqing, do you know who she usually has conflicts with in the company?" Min Xue began to start with routine questions.

Nancy shook her head, "Caiqing is very popular, it is impossible to have conflicts with anyone, and she often makes some snacks for everyone to eat, and everyone likes her very much."

This is in line with what Min Xue and the others investigated before, Xi Caiqing's social skills are indeed max.

But in relation to the rental housing situation, Min Xue has doubts about this answer.

In Xi Caiqing's rented house, there are very few personal belongings, let alone cooking by herself, so where did she make her snacks?
There is no way to verify this matter.

Min Xue turned to ask, "Apart from colleagues in the company, do you know any friends Xi Caiqing has?"

Nancy shook her head as expected, "Caiqing seldom mentions her own affairs. I only know that she came to Shanghai to work hard with her family behind her back. She must have a lot of psychological shadow, so I will not take the initiative to ask her about her personal affairs, lest Make her sad."

Even the identity is fake, so you can't mention your family.
"So, does Xi Caiqing have a boyfriend or suitor?" Min Xue simply got to the point.

"There must be no boyfriend!"

This time Nancy answered decisively, which attracted Xiao Li's attention for a while. After all, the girl had always been weak and weak before.

Nancy also realized that she was a little excited, and explained, "Caiqing never mentioned it, so there must be no, but she has many suitors in the company, but Caiqing has never promised anyone."

Min Xue felt a little strange about Nancy's emotional ups and downs, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he continued to ask.

"Who are the suitors, and which one is the most passionate pursuit recently?"

Nancy didn't answer but asked instead, "Do you suspect that Cai Qing was murdered by a suitor?"

"Just investigate according to the procedure," Min Xue gave an ambiguous answer.

"It must be so, otherwise why would you ask such a question!" Nancy seemed to confirm the answer, and said angrily, "I said Mr. Liang has always ignored these things, so why would he suddenly take the initiative to take charge of the picking!"

Huh?
Min Xue's eyes lit up, "You mean, Mr. Liang is pursuing Xi Caiqing?"

"It's no secret in the company. Mr. Liang's pursuit has been very aggressive recently. Various flowers and gifts are being delivered every day, and it's very troublesome to pick greens." Nancy confirmed this statement.

It's suspicious.

Taking the initiative to ask to be responsible for the incident can of course be interpreted as the person he was pursuing died, and Mr. Liang wanted to do his best to help the police solve the case.

But at the same time, why can't it be interpreted negatively that the murderer actively participated in order to understand the case and the progress of the police?

After contacting the flowers in the trash bin of Xi Caiqing's private residence, Min Xue felt that Mr. Liang was worth checking.

It seems that the harvest from the girl at the front desk is not small, but the next few questions are not worth noting, so a few minutes later, Min Xue asked Nancy to lead the way for the two to Mr. Liang's place.

"Xiao Ma, is Mr. Liang in the office? These two police officers have made an appointment before to investigate Caiqing's case," Nancy asked a person who was immersed in copywriting opposite the door of the deputy general manager's office.

Xiao Ma is an ordinary employee in the R&D department. Because of the office location, people who are looking for Mr. Liang often come to ask him.

Seeing Nancy standing in front of the table, Xiao Ma also stood up, holding his glasses at a loss and replied awkwardly, "Yes, yes."

It seems that the guy is not used to talking to girls, he looks like a dead house.

Those who engage in research and development are considered technical nerds. Fortunately, Cao Xiaobai is not like that.

At this time, Mr. Liang heard that the police were coming, and greeted them warmly, and received the two of them.

After greeting Min and Xue to take their seats, Mr. Liang sighed and said, "To be honest, when I heard the news that Cai Qing was killed, I was so shocked that I couldn't believe it."

"What a nice little girl, she works hard and is enthusiastic, but if she says nothing, she'll be gone. Who are you, so cruel!"

Mr. Liang sighed heartbroken for a long time, and finally expressed his determination, "Just tell the police what you want, and the whole company will do our best to cooperate!"

Mr. Liang's sadness is quite superficial to be honest, it seems that even if he is pursuing Xi Caiqing, it is self-evident what he is thinking.

Xiao Li curled his lips secretly, rich people are really nothing.

Min Xue didn't express any extra expression, but asked Xi Caiqing about her work situation and her interpersonal relationship in the company as usual.

The news I got from Mr. Liang was basically the same as what Nancy said, and I didn't gain much.

The only difference between Mr. Liang and Nancy is probably that one is from the perspective of a leader, while the other is from the perspective of a friend.

Min Xue's questioning was actually not very specific, because he came here to investigate because of an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

After the transcript was over, after Xiao Li put away the notebook, Min Xuecai asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Liang is pursuing Xi Caiqing recently?"

Although Mr. Liang was a little surprised, he didn't deny it, "Yes, the police officers are quite well-informed. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Although I am almost forty, everyone has a love for beauty."

Mr. Liang said, showing an expression that men can understand, this attitude can be said to be very calm.

And judging from his whole response, Min Xue didn't find anything unusual.

If Mr. Liang is really the murderer, then his acting skills are really far superior to Xiao Xianrou's, and are close to those of old actors.

Is it really necessary to make a trip for nothing?
There is no way, the investigation of a case is a process of stepping on shoes and breaking a leg, and sitting in an office to solve a case purely by reasoning is all hooliganism.

That being said, Min Xue did not give up easily.

"Thank you for your cooperation. If you don't mind, we can take a stroll in your company by ourselves?"

To be honest, sometimes there are some things that employees know far more than leaders.

"No problem! Just investigate and try to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible!" Mr. Liang stood up and sent him off.

After leaving the office, Min Xue found that the pony at the door was immersed in the sea of ​​copywriting again, and almost didn't realize that the masters had come out.

Standing up in a panic again, Xiao Ma called out respectfully, "Mr. Liang."

"Well, I'll see off the guests, and you continue to work," Mr. Liang's attitude is very kind, and he has a high tolerance. Of course, for technical nerds, as long as the technology is good enough.

"No, we can go around by ourselves."

"Well, I happen to have some things on hand," Mr. Liang exchanged pleasantries with Min Xue before turning back to the office.

Min Xueben planned to walk around the office area, and then find someone to "chat with".

It's just that when he walked past Xiao Ma's desk, his eyes suddenly paused.

That is
I saw a platycodon flower quietly blooming in a glass bottle in the side corner of Xiaoma's desktop computer!

It turns out that it was you who pursued Xi Caiqing?

Eternal but hopeless love, compared to Mr. Liang and Platycodon, is indeed more suitable for the dead house who silently watches in the dark.

After all, although Xi Caiqing is just a receptionist, she is well-rounded and beautiful. In the company, she belongs to the kind of person who will shine wherever she goes, and she is one dimension away from the world of dead houses.

It's not hard to understand Xiao Ma's feelings of admiration but not daring to get close.

So what's your secret?

Min Xue stopped and stood beside the pony.

"You have a crush on Xi Caiqing?" Although the sentence was questionable, Min Xue's tone was affirmative.

"Ah?" Pony suddenly panicked, "I, I didn't."

"So, what is this?" Min Xue had very good eyesight, and pulled out a photo from under the messy desktop files.

This is actually a photo of Xi Caiqing drinking coffee in a certain shop!

The photo is hazy but full of beauty, and Xi Caiqing's profile is even more delicate against the background of flowers on the table.

But no matter how beautiful it is, from the perspective, this photo is a candid shot!

Because the person who took the photo was not only across the window of the coffee shop, but also across the road.

God knows how long Xiaoma waited to capture this photo, before he could capture the moment when there was no one on the road and no cars.

Seeing that his secret was discovered, Xiao Ma stood up anxiously and snatched the photo back from Min Xue.

Realizing what he had done, the pony immediately shrank again, anxiously explaining, "I, I just"

Xiao Ma is not a quick-witted person, so how can he make up a reasonable reason in a short time.

"There's nothing wrong with having a secret crush, but it's not true for you to secretly take pictures of other girls," Min Xue continued to pursue.

"I, I", the poor technical nerd can't refute at all.

"There must be more than one photo like this, right? How long have you been following Xi Caiqing?" Although he felt like he was bullying a child, Min Xue still pushed forward step by step.

he knows!He knows it all!

There was a voice in the pony's head that kept shouting.

Finally, Xiao Ma still lowered his head, "It's almost three months."

Well, this means that not long after Xi Caiqing joined the company, he was targeted by this dead house.

Xi Caiqing's charm is truly incomparable.

"Where is the photo?"

With the beginning, Xiao Ma's next explanation was very smooth, "It's all in the computer."

Without waiting for Min Xue's order, Xiao Li has already taken over Xiao Ma's computer, and sure enough, he found a lot of photos of Xi Caiqing's daily life in it.

Regrettably, Xi Caiqing was not on the day of the accident. According to Xiao Ma, it was because he had to work overtime that day.

Although Xiao Ma is a stalker, he is not the real culprit. This point is quickly ruled out, because through the company's monitoring, it can be seen that Xiao Ma has been working overtime all night, and he is not alone.

After going around in a big circle, it seems that there is still no big gain. Now I can only hope to find clues from the various life photos taken by the pony.

Before leaving, Xiao Li patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder and said, "In the future, if you like it, you can confess it boldly, otherwise you won't even have the chance to speak, don't you feel regretful?"

Xiao Ma lowered her head and said, "It's impossible to succeed, because Xi Caiqing doesn't like men."

What?

Although Xiao Ma's words were straightforward, they managed to have a shocking effect.
