Chapter 6 Investigation into Su Wei's Death 3. The Secret of the Xinluo Family
In order not to alert the enemy , Wu Yu and the thin female police officer from the police station launched a secret operation. They first started with the investigation of Xinluo Dance School.
They found the registration of their school from the Education Bureau, which listed Liao Xinluo and Liao Niaoniao, and the date was January 2006. They calculated that the school had only been in operation for more than a year, so it seemed that they were not in Wuzhen two years ago. But how they mysteriously appeared in the ancient house was indeed a big question. Later, they investigated their identities and hometowns on the public security website.
Liao Xinluo, born in 1985, from Gucheng, Zhejiang, address...
Liao Niaoniao, born in 1987, from Gucheng, Zhejiang, address ...
The same addresses on their ID cards prove that they are sisters.
If they are the murderers, no matter what their position or evidence is, they cannot prove it. They and Su Wei are strangers, why kill them? Officer Zhong thinks the only truth is that someone killed Su Wei, dragged him to the old house, and used legends to cover up the truth. But who is the mysterious girl who called the police? ... Everything is really inexplicable.
On the other hand, Officer Zhong asked Wu Yu to compare their handwriting with the handwriting in the mysterious letter, but found that they were not the same person, and became more confused.
They thought the case had reached a dead end just like the previous one. Officer Zhong suddenly remembered Xinluo and her friends' grandfather, who Wu Yu said was a mysterious old man who was like a ghost.
While Officer Zhong was investigating the strange behavior of the elderly, he asked the thin female police officer to go to the ancient water town to find out when they left their hometown and came to the ancient town.
In addition, he observed the morning stall not far from the old house, and after asking around, he felt a little sad because the morning stall had only been in business for less than half a year. As for the other stalls facing the street, they also avoided talking about the old house. It seemed that they knew something but dared not to talk about it, which made him even more confused.
Based on the information provided by Wu Yu, Officer Zhong discovered that the old man went out almost every day, so he waited for him at the fat woman's morning stall that Wu Yu often went to.
At about ten o'clock, the morning stall was closed, but the old man had not appeared yet. He thought that the old man might not come out today, but he had to go back in a few days, so he had to wait anyway.
While he was thinking about where he should wait for the right time, it suddenly started to rain, so he took shelter under the eaves of a nearby house.
Around eleven o'clock, the rain began to fall harder and harder, and waves of coolness drifted in the air along with the rain.
He decided to buy an umbrella, looked around, and saw an umbrella shop through the mist and rain. He walked over quickly.
When he saw the storefront of , he was stunned for a moment. He felt that he had never seen it before. Maybe he was not paying attention, or maybe it just opened a short time ago. He walked in with doubts.
There was a young and charming girl inside. Seeing the guests coming, she greeted them warmly: "Sir, please take a look around. We have the most complete variety of umbrellas in Wuzhen."
When Officer Zhong saw how pretty the girl was, his long-lost youthful heart seemed to return, and he suddenly became young again. He looked at the girl, but in his heart he was thinking about the strange name of the store.
He picked a green umbrella at random, asked the price, and then paid. After paying, he couldn't help but say, "Why is the name of your store so strange?" He stared at her sharply.
"What's wrong?" The girl looked at him with wide eyes in confusion.
"Xi Shi Umbrella, isn't it exactly the same as the legend in Wuzhen?" Officer Zhong thought that she might have named it after the legend.
As expected, he guessed right, and the girl's reply proved that his judgment was correct.
Officer Zhong felt that his words were unnecessary, smiled at her embarrassedly, and walked out the door.
After he went out, he looked in the direction of the old house helplessly, and suddenly saw an old man walking towards the old house with an umbrella. Waiting to pass by him, he recognized him. He was surprised and happy. It was raining, where else could he go?
In order not to arouse the old man's suspicion, he followed him from a distance, but he was afraid of being lost. In short, with his experience in tracking, the other party hardly noticed.
After turning two streets, he stopped in front of an old house facing the river and knocked on the door. It seemed that the door was not locked, so he pushed it open with a creaking sound, went in, and closed it behind him.
Officer Zhong was very surprised to see the old man acting mysteriously. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly followed him.
When he entered, he found that it was a workshop, and suddenly he understood something. There was no one inside, and it was quiet. So he continued to walk in. Suddenly, he saw a figure walking among the long white cloth.
"You are..." The old man suddenly appeared in front of him strangely and looked at him puzzledly.
He saw the old man holding the cloth he had just put away, and understood why he came here even when it was raining. He guessed that since he was so old and had no son by his side, and Niao Niao and Xin Luo were in school, it must not be his business, so he said, "You are here to see the boss."
"Luo Yu came here, it seems like he has something urgent." The old man didn't doubt it at all.
"Yes. I have called him just now, but it's raining, so he may not come, so I came in to take a look." Officer Zhong said calmly.
The old man could not see any doubt and said, "I am really sorry, please just take a look."
Officer Zhong nodded and looked around pretending to be an expert. Seeing that there was nothing special, the old man went into the inner hall to busy himself, and then he quietly slipped out.
After returning to the town police station, he called the female police officer, who said they had not yet reached the ancient city. Officer Zhong felt that he could only wait for news from her.
He had just hung up the phone when it suddenly vibrated.
"Team leader!" He was stunned for a moment and answered.
"How is the investigation of the case going on your side?" the team leader asked directly.
Officer Zhong found it difficult to explain to him at the moment, and said, "There is new progress, but there are no suspicious persons yet."
"Then you must come back now. There are new discoveries in the case assigned to you by your superiors."
"real."
"A man called just now and said he witnessed the scene. Although the murderer's face could not be seen clearly, he could provide some clues."
Officer Zhong was pleasantly surprised, but thought that since there was no news about the policewoman for a while, he should go back to Zhejiang. Otherwise, if the superiors blamed him, it would be difficult for him and his team leader to deal with it. He was investigating the strange incident of the seizure, and the superiors did not want him to waste time on it.
Two days later, one morning, Officer Zhong received a call from the thin female police officer, who told him the details: they had moved out of Wuzhen two years ago, and it was only a week before Su Wei's death.
"One week." He murmured. He seemed to think that this time was too coincidental. He recalled that after Su Wei's death, he only went there once on the third day, and never went there again. Could it be that they would come to Wuzhen a week later - about 10 days later, if nothing unexpected happened?
At this time, the number of murder cases handed over by the superiors became more and more urgent, so he had no time to go to Wuzhen again. The next time he went to Wuzhen was after solving the murder case.
