Chapter 173

[My new partner is here, very handsome. ]

[I saw his resume yesterday. I have to say that we have the same aesthetic taste. He looks like a simple guy. ]

[Chen Pu, your heart is bigger than the eye of a needle.]

【I have always been a very defensive man. 】

-

Li Qingyao's new partner is named Xia Yongze. As his name suggests, he is tall and mighty, with a muscular body like a moving iron tower. He gives people a sense of security at first glance.

Xia Yongze has just graduated from the police academy half a year ago. Rumors under the hood are euphemistic, saying that his crime-solving mindset is "average", but he is a good fighter and can take on five people at once.

The criminal police team led by Ding Guoqiang is not short of brains. Which of the captains of the first, second and third teams is not a smart person? As a middle-aged man, Ding Guoqiang has always believed in making up for what is lacking. Although the three captains are also very capable, the people under them are just so-so. So it took a lot of effort for Old Ding to dig Xia Yongze from the police station below, and he was almost snatched away by the public security bureau of another district.

It just so happened that Li Qingyao was in need of a partner, had brains but average skills, and Chen Pu made those unreasonable demands. Xia Yongze was simple-minded, but his relationship was amazing. He had a beautiful childhood sweetheart, and they got their university diploma and marriage certificate together. So Ding Guoqiang felt that this person was the perfect partner tailor-made for Li Qingyao.

However, Li Qingyao was a little surprised when he saw his partner running so hard that sweat broke out on his head, but he didn't even take a breath.

Previously, I heard that Team 220 had checked all vehicles at the three intersections of Heilifeng during the time when the murderer who killed Qian Chengfeng fled. As soon as she said she would go to get the results, the new partner said enthusiastically that he would go, and then turned around and disappeared like a whirlwind.

It took him almost 10 minutes to get the results back - Team 2's office was the first one downstairs, and it only took about minutes to walk there and back.

"Did something happen to you?" Li Qingyao asked considerately, "You've been gone for so long, and you're sweating."

Xia Yongze slapped his head, and the sound of his slap was so loud that Li Qingyao's heart trembled. He grinned, "I took the wrong road! I didn't remember whether it was the first room on the left or the first room on the right, so I ran to the first room on the right, which was wrong. I thought I remembered the wrong floor, so I ran down one floor. It was still wrong, so I ran up two floors, then down again, and finally found the right one."

Li Qingyao was silent for a while, then his tone became softer: "Didn't you ask anyone?"

Xia Yongze scratched his head and smiled: "There's no one in the first office; the people in the second office all look very busy, so it's hard to disturb them. I just came to the branch office and I don't know anyone, so I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but I'm sure I can find him anyway."

Thus, Li Qingyao formed his first impression of Xia Yongze: strong, hardworking, stubborn but extremely shy. In addition, he might be a person with poor sense of direction.

Chen Pu has a sharp eye for people. He is indeed a simple-minded man who is consistent in his appearance and heart.

"It's okay." Li Qingyao immediately showed her considerate side as a caring sister who could win over straight men. "Next time, I'll take you to meet more people, and you'll get to know them all. My colleagues in the criminal police team are all very nice."

"Hey! Good! Thank you so much, Sister Yao! Can I call you Sister Yao? I'm one year younger than you."

Li Qingyao narrowed his eyes and smiled, very satisfied.

The two looked at the results of the vehicle inspection. At present, the third team has not found any suspect vehicles from these 220 vehicles. Fang Hao said at the last meeting that most of these cars are private cars, and there are also village trucks, pickup trucks, trucks running on provincial roads, logistics vehicles, etc. Li Qingyao glanced at the names of the owners of those private cars. The police have verified them one by one. They have no relationship with Qian Chengfeng and Xiang Siling, so they can be ruled out as suspects.

Other freight vehicles also have clear names and units. For example, the trucks of Hongxing Farm in Heilifeng Town, the private pickup truck of Zhao Yong, a villager who works as a decorator in the village, Zhongtong Logistics Truck, Postal Logistics Truck; the maintenance truck of Yuexi Branch of the Municipal Power Company, Huading Real Estate Engineering Truck, Lejia Supermarket Truck, China Construction Fourth Engineering Bureau Construction Site Transport Truck, etc. All these drivers said that they did not see any suspicious people, and there were only drivers and unit staff in their vehicles.

Therefore, the three team members suspected that the murderer must have climbed into the cargo box or the compartment of a car while the driver was not paying attention. After leaving Heili Peak, he found an opportunity to jump out of the car and escape. The three team could only conduct a second round of more detailed screening to try to find the suspect.

Li Qingyao was not surprised to see this result. The murderer had rich criminal experience and a stable mentality. It should be easy for him to think of some tricks to escape from conventional pursuit. She took a photo of these results and sent it to Chen Pu.

Chen Pu should have just arrived in Guizhou Province at this time, so he didn't reply to her.

"How about we go to Liu Tingmei, Li Yu's hometown first?" Li Qingyao said.

Xia Yongze: "Okay! I'm not familiar with this case yet, so you can make more decisions and I will fully cooperate."

Li Qingyao was even more satisfied with his partner. In comparison, Chen Pu was not as cute as him.

-

After Liu Tingmei's family reported their daughter missing nine years ago, her ID card has not been cancelled, but there is no record of her applying for social security, phone cards, bank cards, etc. In other words, in this world, this person's identity is still there, but there is no trace of her life.

Mawei Village in Xingsha County is not far from Xiangcheng. Xia Yongze drove and the two arrived at 10 a.m. Li Qingyao used his speciality of asking questions to ask the villagers about the location of Liu Tingmei and Liu Huaixin's homes. When he walked over, he found that the two families were only a dozen meters apart, so they must know each other.

Liu Huaixin's house looks nice, similar to other houses around, a three-story stand-alone house with a large yard. But Liu Tingmei's house looks old and small among a long row of spacious and luxurious self-built houses in the countryside. Her house is only two stories high and the building area is small. Others' exterior walls are all tiled, or at least cement. Only their house is made of red bricks, and the exterior walls look black and dirty, with many bricks broken.

There was an old car worth tens of thousands of dollars parked at the door.

The door to the main room was open and there were several people watching TV inside.

Li Qingyao took Xia Yongze around the house from a distance and said, "Let's go find someone else to find out what's going on, and then go back to the Liu family to take a look."

Having followed Chen Pu for so long, she has also learned a lot of investigation skills and methods. A poor family, a beautiful but mentally retarded daughter, and parents who favor boys over girls, just think about it and you will know that there will be a lot of gossip in the village. "Rumors" are an important means for veteran detectives to obtain clues.

Li Qingyao had already thought of an excuse. He pretended to be a member of the city's special task force investigating long-standing missing persons cases. He showed his police officer ID and went directly to the village party secretary.

The village party secretary is a man in his fifties, so he is naturally very cooperative in his work. When he mentions Liu Tingmei, he shows a look of regret and heartache: "Tingmei is a very good child. She is the only one in the village who may be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the past few decades! I was counting on her to bring honor to me as the village party secretary. Unfortunately, such a thing happened later! She became stupid, can no longer study, and has difficulty taking care of herself. Who wouldn't feel sorry for her!"

"Hasn't she been stupid since she was a child?"
