Chapter 15 Thief?(1/2)
The reason why Zuo Xu inquired about Dr. Dai's location was of course not because he was mentally ill, but because he wanted to know about Cheng Lili's condition, or whether Cheng Lili had ever talked about supernatural events with Dr. Dai, but he was treated as such.
Got mentally ill.
There is another person Zuo Xu also wants to visit, and that is Ju Shuai, the former landlord of the haunted house. Does he know if he has that painting in his house?
Did he put it there himself, or was it someone else?
He wanted to understand all these questions one by one.
However, the case that year had been closed and sealed, and it was also a suicide case. As a trainee detective in the homicide department, he really had no reasonable reason to investigate the case.
He looked at the time and saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. He still had something to do.
Last night, in order to save him, Ma Xiaofei kicked in the door of room 403 and broke it. It has not been repaired yet.
That tough girl will definitely not pay for her behavior, so she can only find someone to fix it herself.
So he contacted a locksmith company to repair the door.
After making contact, Zuo Xu changed his clothes, got up and headed to Fuhai Community.
At the gate of the Public Security Department, we stopped a car and said, "Master, go to Fuhai Community."
"Fuhai? That place is too dirty. I won't go there unless I go there."
When the taxi driver heard that Zuo Xu was going to Fuhai, a ghost place that had been causing a lot of noise in the past two days, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
If you want to say where rumors spread fastest in a place, apart from local forums, it is taxi drivers.
Their ability to eat melons has been honed over time in the battlefield.
As long as they stay within Jinggang City, there is nothing they don't know about, big or small, in the city.
It already smells a bit like an intelligence organization.
"Hey, don't leave that place too clean now!"
But no, the evil spirits have been taken away by Ma Xiaofei, so there is no place cleaner than that.
But the driver obviously didn't intend to listen to his nonsense, so he stepped on the accelerator and sped out.
"Did you make a mistake? Rejected!"
Looking at the busload of Juechen taxis, Zuo Xu had no choice but to wait for another one.
"Master, are you going to Fuhai Community?"
"Fuhai? That place..."
Zuo Xu didn't wait for him to finish, took out a banknote and threw it into the car: "One hundred!"
"Tell me earlier and get in the car."
"..."
Sure enough, the power of money can defeat all monsters and monsters.
"Aren't you afraid of that place now?"
Zuo Xu joked while fastening his seat belt.
"Brother is joking, is there anything more terrible than being poor these days?"
The driver was also humorous. The two chatted for a few words and then arrived at Fuhai Community.
Walking into the community, Zuo Xu clearly saw that there were more than a dozen advertisements for "Lucky Houses for Sale" posted on the community notice board, but no one stopped to watch.
He did not stay, but went directly to Unit 1 of Building 9 and took the elevator to the 4th floor.
"Huh? You came here so fast. I was just about to call you and ask where you are and can this lock be repaired?"
When Zuo Xu walked out of the elevator, he saw a person coming out of Room 403. He thought it was him who contacted the locksmith company.
Came so fast!
When the man came out and saw Zuo Xu, he was also stunned, and then he immediately reacted: "Oh, I just took a look, this lock can't be repaired, it may need to be replaced with a new one, I will go back to the company to get a new lock.
Just wait for me here."
After saying that, he walked past Zuo Xu and took the elevator downstairs.
"Want to change the locks? It seems that we need to discuss this matter with the landlord."
Originally, he thought it would be a simple repair, but he didn't expect that the other party actually said that he wanted to change the lock. He was not the landlord of 403. For such a big thing as changing the lock, he had to talk to the landlord and give the new key to him at the same time.
Jingle bell bell~
At this moment, Zuo Xu's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After ringing three or four times, he picked up the phone.
"Boss, I'm downstairs in Building 9. Which floor did you just say you were on? I didn't hear clearly. Is it the 4th floor or the 10th floor?"
Someone from a locksmith company?
Didn't he just leave?
Why are you still calling?
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Zuo Xu subconsciously asked, "Didn't you just get off?"
"Going down? Where are we going? I just arrived. Boss, which floor is your house on?"
not him,
In an instant, Zuo Xu had a smart idea.
The person who just met him was not from a locksmith company.
Could it be a thief?
No wonder the other party was stunned for a moment when he saw him.
It was my preconception that the other party was from a locksmith company, so I ignored a lot of details.
For example:
Although the door of Room 403 is broken, before he left last night, the murder seal was re-pasted on the door.
How can an employee of an ordinary locksmith company enter a room without being present at the scene?
pity,
Zuo Xu only reacted now, a little too slowly.
Maybe not too slow.
"Boss, tell me, which floor is your home on?"
Zuo Xu ignored the voice on the other end of the phone, but held the phone in his hands, rushed to the corridor window sill, and looked down.
Sure enough, when he looked out, he happened to see the man riding an electric bicycle. When Zuo Xu looked at him, he also looked back at Zuo Xu.
Seeing that Zuo Xu was also looking at him, he hurriedly squeezed the accelerator and accelerated towards the gate of the community.
“Exciting takeaway?”
Although the distance was far, Zuo Xu still saw a take-out box on the back seat of the electric car. The unique style made Zuo Xu recognize it at a glance. It was a local take-out rider platform.
With clues in hand, Zuo Xu was not in a hurry anymore. If he could escape, the monk could not escape from the temple.
As long as you check who are the riders of Xindong Takeaway, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find them.
"Hey, locksmith, don't leave, go to the fourth floor."
When the locksmith saw that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone angrily and prepared to go home.
As soon as the electric car started, he heard someone calling him upstairs. He looked up and said, "Boss, you are here. Why didn't you say anything just now?"
"There is no signal on the mobile phone. I came out and called you. Come up to the 4th floor."
"okay."
The locksmith responded, stopped the electric car, took the toolbox and got on the elevator.
Zuo Xu returned to the door and found that the seal from last night had been torn apart, apparently by the person just now.
So he had to tear off all the broken seals. Anyway, the case was closed and there was no need to seal the house any longer.
Entering the room, Zuo Xu took a good look to see if there were any missing items in the room.
After all, the door was broken because of him. If something is missing, he is not responsible for it.
Fortunately, he inspected the house yesterday and he knew very well the layout of everything in the house. There was almost no difference from yesterday's furnishings.
The house was clean and tidy, and there were no signs of being disturbed. It didn't look like it was attracting thieves at all.
Could it be?
Is he here to pick up the painting?
Suddenly, Zuo Xu had a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of this situation.
The painting was taken away by Ma Xiaofei last night, so the other party came to pick it up today, but missed it!
In other words, the owner of the painting did not expect that his painting would be discovered and taken away so quickly.
