After eating a bowl of noodles, Zhang Yang set off again.
He had to speed up the investigation. The main suspect, Jiang Hongling, had already been questioned. Zhang Yang had never seen such an arrogant suspect, so the possibility of him being the murderer was extremely low!
And after a morning of contact, Zhang Yang felt that!
If Jiang Hongling had killed Lu Quanyou, he would never have hidden himself. He would probably have called the police after killing the person and waited for them to come. As for taking away the gold and silver jewelry, he would never have done such a thing!
This old man was quite decent. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War and did not lack money. It was just that his children did not visit him often and he was lonely.
It was possible for him to kill someone!
But creating a mystery after killing someone and stealing money didn't seem like something he could do.
Zhang Yang's next target was Li Mei.
Ask Li Mei!
Ring ring ring…
On the way to the Spring Foot Massage Shop, Zhang Yang's phone suddenly rang. Zhang Yang looked at his phone while driving. It was an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Is this Officer Zhang?"
"I am. Who are you?"
" Your…Your humble servant's surname is Bai. Bai Jingbiao is Bai Kai's father…"
Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows. The father of the brainless second-generation rich man who was pursuing Liu Lina was said to be in charge of a loan company. Those who could open a loan company were usually black-and-white. Basically, they were loan sharks in the dark.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Zhang Yang asked.
"I've booked a private room at Jianghai International. I want to treat you to a meal at eight o'clock in the evening. That bastard in our family has some misunderstanding with you. I think…you see…"
Zhang Yang understood.
Bai Jingbiao was here to plead for his son.
"I don't have time…"
"Then when do you have time…"
"I don't have time!"
Zhang Yang hung up the phone and didn't have time to talk to him.
……
Spring Pedicure Shop.
Zhang Yang parked the car outside the door. He got out of the car and looked at the door of the foot massage shop. It was a very small curtain, but several floors were occupied by the foot massage shop. In fact, the area was not small.
According to the police's previous investigation, this foot massage shop was a little irregular.
However, it was not a place that involved prostitution in the general sense, so it was not swept away. Compared to some bathing centers, this place was considered clean.
Zhang Yang didn't care if it was clean or not. It wasn't his business to crack down on prostitution.
He was here to investigate a case.
After entering the main entrance of the foot massage shop, the lobby on the first floor was not big, and there were no customers.
Since it was not even one in the afternoon, the foot massage shop did not seem to have much business.
The receptionist was a young man in his twenties with a crew cut. He had a tattoo on his arm and looked like a hooligan.
Most likely, he was here to watch over the place.
" Hello, sir. Please come in. It's your first time here..." The young man with a crew cut saw Zhang Yang and came out from the counter. He quickly greeted him," Do you want to change your shoes first?"”
Zhang Yang was very serious. He took out his police badge and waved it at the young man with a crew cut."Police, looking for Li Mei."
"Yo! Police officer." The young man with the crew cut was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what was going on. Li Mei's lover had died two to three months ago. He heard that the case had not been solved yet.
It was not the first time the police had come, so the young man with the crew cut did not panic.
"Please take a seat. I'll go find someone for you.”The young man with a crew cut asked Zhang Yang to sit down on the sofa in the hall. He went back to the counter and picked up the walkie-talkie."Sister Wang, Sister Wang, a police officer is looking for Li Mei. Is Li Mei here today?”
"Tsk…he didn't come. He's on vacation.”A response came from the walkie-talkie.
"Officer, Li Mei didn't come to work today.”The young man looked at Zhang Yang.
"Do you know where she lives now?" Zhang Yang stood up and asked.
"Oh, I don't know. Please wait a moment. Our boss will be down soon. Please wait a moment…I'll get you a glass of water…"
The young man with a crew cut greeted again.
He was polite to the police, regardless of age or age. As long as it was a police officer, he would be polite. People who ran foot massage parlors were most afraid of the police. If the police were unhappy, they would find fault with you.
Moreover, the place itself was not very clean. It did not mean that this was a place for sale. The police had already discovered it during their previous investigation.
That kind of business was not allowed here.
However!
The customers were allowed to trade with the masseuse in private. They could do whatever they wanted outside!
Zhang Yang waited for a moment.
Soon, a woman with heavy makeup and orange hair came downstairs. Sister Wang's name was Wang Guizhi. She was in her early forties and the owner of the foot massage shop.
" Police officer, I haven't seen you before..." Wang Guizhi was full of smiles, and the perfume on her body was very strong.
"He just took over Lu Quanyou's case, and Li Mei didn't come to work?”Zhang Yang directly stated that he was investigating Lu Quanyou's case.
"I see. She didn't come. She asked for leave a few days ago because she wasn't feeling well.”
"Do you know where she lives?"
"It's nearby. It's a rented apartment in the family building of the machinery factory behind.”
"Give me the address."
Zhang Yang said as he took out a pen and paper from his bag.
Wang Guizhi told Zhang Yang the address and then asked,"Police officer, do you need a phone?"
"I have the number."
Of course, Zhang Yang had Li Mei's phone number. It was all in the information, but he didn't call her. Instead, he came to look for her directly. He didn't call her to ask for her address, but asked someone else.
This was a type of investigative technique.
No matter which suspect they were investigating, if it was a summons, they could call him and ask him to go to the police station himself. However, if it was a door-to-door visit, they could call him or not.
Because any suspect could be the murderer.
If you called in advance and came to the door later, if the other party was the murderer, they would be prepared in advance. This was not conducive to investigation!
"Has Li Mei done anything unusual recently?”Zhang Yang asked again. He wanted to ask a few simple questions.
" Abnormal... I don't think so..." Wang Guizhi thought for a moment and said.
"After Lu Quanyou's body was found, did she do anything that was worth noticing? What do you think is wrong?" Zhang Yang asked again.
This was a routine question. He would ask any suspect he was investigating.
For example, when he went to look for Jiang Hongling in the morning, Zhang Yang even asked his neighbor downstairs about Jiang Hongling's recent performance.
" Aiyo, police officer, why don't we go upstairs and talk? You see, here... it's affecting business..." Wang Guizhi gestured with a smile.
Zhang Yang wanted to ask a few simple questions.
He left after asking.
But if Wang Guizhi said to go upstairs…then she would go upstairs!
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and nodded.
It was fine to ask in detail.
" Please..." Wang Guizhi invited him and led Zhang Yang upstairs.
The corridor on the second floor was very long and empty. There was no one in sight. There was really no business at this time. She wondered where the group of masseuses were resting.
Wang Guizhi led Zhang Yang into the office on the second floor.
In her office.
The room was not big. There was only a sofa, a coffee table, and a table. It felt a little crowded.
"Have a seat. I'll get you a glass of water."
"Don't be busy. Sit down. I'll leave after I'm done asking.”
"It's no trouble at all. Please drink some water…"
Wang Guizhi poured a cup of water for Zhang Yang with a disposable cup before sitting down on the other end of the sofa, keeping a distance from Zhang Yang.
If it was a rich customer or a big boss, she wouldn't keep her distance.
However, she had to stay away from the police.
"When did Li Mei apply for leave?”
"Ah…three days ago, yes, three days ago, she said that she wasn't familiar with her body anymore. Oh right, she even moved. The lease on her previous apartment expired, so she moved here and rented another apartment nearby.”
"Has there been anything wrong with her recently? I mean, two months after Lu Quanyou's body was found?”
"These two months, nothing much! She broke up with Lu Quanyou in April. Didn't she find out that Lu Quanyou was dead on the 10th of May? Didn't you come to investigate many times after that? She just doesn't look very well…"
"Did Li Mei tell you about Lu Quanyou's death?”
"Her! Sigh! "Lu Quanyou always hit her. He's good to her and is willing to spend money on her, but when he hits her when he drinks, she's scared. It wasn't easy to break up with Lu Quanyou. I found a few friends to talk to Lu Quanyou. Otherwise, he would always come to the shop to cause trouble…I even asked him if she was relieved that Lu Quanyou got his retribution. She doesn't want to talk about this…"
"Police officer." Wang Guizhi suddenly changed her tone and asked Zhang Yang,"Are you suspecting that Li Mei killed him? That can't be! Li Mei is so afraid of Lu Quanyou. When Lu Quanyou came to cause trouble, she was trembling upstairs and crying. Li Mei is so thin and small, how could she kill someone…"
He could feel that Li Mei was quite popular.
"I'm not suspecting her. I'm suspecting everyone.”"The last time the police questioned Li Mei was on the 7th of last month. Did you hear anything from her after that?" Just say whatever you think of. Just tell me what you think is strange…"
" This..." Wang Guizhi recalled and slowed down her speech."I don't think so. I remember that it was quite normal…Ah, right! There's something very strange!"
"What?" Zhang Yang immediately asked.
