The young man's name was Zhou Mu. When Xu Mingzhi's people found him, he was working in the KTV. Zhou Mu was wearing a black suit and was guarded in the box by two plainclothes men. His handsome face was full of embarrassment and panic.
When Yu Guang followed Xu Mingzhi in, Zhou Muzheng kept emphasizing to the two plainclothes men that he really didn't know where Liu Liu had gone.
After Yu Guang and the others entered, Xu Mingzhi asked the two plainclothes men to go out first.
"Is that Zhou Mu?" After Xu Mingzhi looked at him, he pulled a high stool over and sat down opposite him.
After Zhou Mu looked at the two of them warily, he nodded timidly.
"What does Liu Liu have to do with you?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
Zhou Mu replied: "The relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend!" As he said that, he suddenly became anxious and asked in a loud voice: "What happened to Liu Liu? Also, who are you?"
"Police!" Xu Mingzhi took out his ID and waved it in front of his eyes. Seeing that although Zhou Mu's expression became nervous, he still couldn't hide his anxious look, he couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that Zhou Mu really didn't know about this?
Thinking about it, he asked again: "Liu Liu went to see you at noon yesterday, right?"
Zhou Mu nodded: "I was working late yesterday, and she came to have dinner with me. After dinner, she went to my place to stay for a while, then said she had an appointment with friends to go camping, and then left."
"Then do you know who this friend is?" Xu Mingzhi asked.
"It seems to be called Yu Guang." Zhou Mu replied hesitantly.
Xu Mingzhi couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Yu Guang. Yu Guang was still standing at the door, leaning against the wall. Most of his face was hidden in the dimness, and he couldn't see his expression at this time.
"Then where were you after she left yesterday afternoon?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
These questions had probably been asked by the two plainclothes men before, so Zhou Mu answered without thinking: "I went to buy a pack of cigarettes first, and then went home to sleep. I have to work the night shift and I have to catch up on my sleep in the afternoon."
"Can anyone prove it?"
Zhou Mu thought for a while and said, "The owner of the canteen can prove it."
"He can only prove that you bought cigarettes, right?" Xu Mingzhi asked.
Zhou Mu retorted hastily: "Do I need someone to watch me while I sleep?"
Such a reaction is normal. After Xu Mingzhi stared at him for a while, he then asked: "Then did you contact Liu Liu later?"
"I have been in contact." Zhou Mu replied: "However, she was slow to reply to messages, and then she didn't reply at all. I thought she might be busy, so I didn't send her any more WeChat messages. I called her this morning. After a phone call, her phone was turned off. She also called at noon and it was also turned off. What happened to her?"
"Show me your phone." Xu Mingzhi ordered, ignoring his question.
Zhou Mu seemed a little reluctant, but he only hesitated for a second or two.
Xu Mingzhi first checked Zhou Mu's WeChat. There are not many contacts in Zhou Mu's WeChat. Xu Mingzhi flipped through it and found something interesting. In addition to Liu Liu, Zhou Mu had a lively chat with a woman named Huan Huan. The conversation was bold, frivolous, and very ambiguous. Xu Mingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Mu. Zhou Mu's expression was very unnatural, his eyes flickered and he did not dare to look at Xu Mingzhi.
However, although it is immoral to ride a donkey to find a horse and ride on two boats, it does not fall under the police's control. Even though Xu Mingzhi despised it, he could not suspect that Zhou Mu was related to Liu Liu's disappearance. He continued to search and found nothing suspicious. The conversation between Zhou Mu and Liu Liu finally stopped at 9:18 last night. The last sentence was "Are you busy?" sent by Zhou Mu to Liu Liu. After that, there was no reply from Liu Liu, and Zhou Mu did not send any more messages. give her.
After exiting WeChat, Xu Mingzhi looked through Zhou Mu's call records again. As he said just now, Zhou Mu called Liu Liu several times, but he couldn't get through.
Judging from these, Liu Liu's loss of contact seems to have nothing to do with Zhou Mu.
After Xu Mingzhi returned the phone to Zhou Mu, he turned to look at Yu Guang and asked silently: Do you have anything else to ask?
Yu Guang, who had been leaning against the wall, shook his head, then turned around, opened the door and went out first.
Seeing this, Xu Mingzhi also stood up. Then he said to Zhou Mu: "I'll leave you a phone number. If Liu Liu contacts you later, please notify me as soon as possible." After saying that, he took out a pen and paper from his body and wrote down a mobile phone number for Zhou Mu.
After Zhou Mu accepted it, he saw that Xu Mingzhi was about to leave. He quickly got up and chased her for two steps, asking, "What happened to Liu Liu?"
After Xu Mingzhi thought about it, he explained a little to him: "She lost contact with her family after she went out yesterday. Now her family has been looking for her and is very anxious, so if you have news about her, remember to do it as soon as possible notice me."
Hearing this, Zhou Mu suddenly blurted out: "Something must have happened to her."
When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he immediately stopped at his feet: "What do you say?"
"Liu Liu is very well-behaved, and although she has some objections to her mother being too strict with her, she still respects her mother very much. She will not stop contacting her mother for no reason." Zhou Mu became more and more anxious as he spoke. Even her eyes were a little red: "She must have encountered something. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly lost contact with us for no reason!"
Seeing him like this, Xu Mingzhi doubted him less and less.
"Don't worry, we will investigate. If you have any news, remember to inform us as soon as possible." After Xu Mingzhi finished speaking, he patted him twice on the shoulder to express comfort, and then went out. Chasing Yu Guang.
Yu Guang had already walked out of the KTV and was standing at the elevator entrance diagonally opposite the door, smoking a cigarette and looking at his mobile phone.
Xu Mingzhi walked over and put away his phone out of the corner of his eye as soon as he got close.
Xu Mingzhi didn't care. After reaching out and pressing the elevator button, he looked back and found that Zhou Mu had followed him out and was standing at the door, hesitating whether to come over or not. Xu Mingzhi waved his hand towards him, indicating that he didn't need to send it away.
At this time, the elevator arrived. Out of the corner of his eye, he put the cigarette into the cigarette chute above the trash can, and then stepped into the elevator. Xu Mingzhi followed closely behind.
After the door closed, Xu Minzhi asked: "Do you think this Zhou Mu is suspicious?"
Yu Guang was silent for a while before speaking: "I don't rule it out."
Xu Mingzhi glanced at him and said: "I don't think he is too suspicious. Although he was panicked, this is also a normal reaction for ordinary people when encountering this kind of thing. It would be abnormal for him to be calm. Moreover, I think he treats Liu Liu His concern doesn’t seem to be fake. If he is all pretending, then it can only be said that his acting skills are too good.”
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced up at the elevator display, and the number just jumped from two to one. With a ding, the elevator door opened. As he walked out, Yu Guang said, "Don't rush to a conclusion. There are people with good acting skills everywhere in this world."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xu Mingzhi: "You can start by checking the call records between the two of them. Whether this was premeditated by Zhou Mu or Liu Liu's own arrangement, since this car was parked there waiting for Liu Liu, Liu got in the car, then they must have contacted each other beforehand. There is no call record, just the WeChat record, we should be able to find some clues. In addition, if this matter is really related to this Zhou Mu, then this Zhou Mu is very likely to be a habitual criminal..." At this point, Yu Guang suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a cruel sneer: "Congratulations to you, there is another big case."
These words made Xu Mingzhi very uncomfortable. He frowned and looked at Yu Guang. Just as he was about to refute, Yu Guang turned his head and walked faster outside the building. Xu Mingzhi's words were stuck in his throat, making him even more unhappy.
However, Yu Guang was indeed right. If Liu Liu's disappearance was really related to Zhou Mu, then judging from Zhou Mu's performance today, he was probably a habitual offender.
Thinking of this, Xu Mingzhi's heart suddenly felt heavy, and he couldn't care less about his dissatisfaction with Yu Guang. He quickly took out his mobile phone and called someone to arrange for someone to check the communication records of Liu Liu and Zhou Mu.
After returning to the car, Xu Mingzhi asked Yu Guang: "What should I say now? Will I take you back?"
Yu Guang shook his head and said: "Go to Futian Village."
Xu Mingzhi said while starting the car: "Whether Zhou Mu and Liu Liu's disappearances are related or not, what he said about his whereabouts should be true. There is little hope for Futian Village."
"I know. However, when a girl like Liuliu goes to a place like Futian Village, she must be the center of attention. There should be many people who remember her. Go and ask, maybe you will get something unexpected, and even if not, it is better than Just sit back and wait." He said out of the corner of his eye, turned to look at Xu Mingzhi, and said: "It's okay if you don't want to go, I can just take a taxi there myself. You, the detective, are busy, I understand."
This sinister tone made Xu Mingzhi frown. He remembered what he said out of the corner of his eye when he came out of the elevator. "New grudges" were added to "old grudges" for a moment. Xu Mingzhi couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice: "What's your tone? I don't seem to have offended you, right?"
Faced with his question, Yu Guang turned his head and rushed out the window and stopped talking.
This is uncomfortable. Xu Mingzhi felt angry and wanted to kick Yu Guang out of the car, but after thinking about it, he held back. I had no choice but to vent my anger on the steering wheel.
The journey originally took about forty minutes, but the two of them arrived in less than thirty minutes.
Futian Village at night looks like a dormant giant beast, lying quietly on the ground, quietly waiting for its prey to approach.
Out of the corner of his eye, he first found the bus stop. After looking around, he walked towards the small restaurants along the street. It was not too late at this time, except for the two breakfast restaurants that were closed, the others were still open.
Yu Guang asked Xu Mingzhi for a photo of Liu Liu. One by one, he walked in and asked, and soon he got something. The proprietress of a restaurant called Mingming said she remembered Liu Liu.
It turned out that every time Liu Liu came, Zhou Mu would take her here for dinner. Both of them are good-looking, and Liu Liu's temperament and dress are not ordinary girls at first sight, making them easy to remember.
The landlady said that Liu Liu and Zhou Mu did come to her place for dinner at about twelve o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that time, there were several young people in her store who saw Liu Liu's beauty and made frivolous remarks, which annoyed Zhou Mu, and the two sides even had a few quarrels, so she was particularly impressed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he asked the landlady: "How long ago was the first time Liu Liu came to your place for dinner? Do you still remember?"
After thinking for a while, the lady boss replied: "It should be less than two months."
Yu Guang noted the time, thanked the landlady, and left Mingming Hotel with Xu Mingzhi. After leaving the hotel, Yu Guang asked Xu Mingzhi: "Where is Zhou Mu's residence?"
Xu Mingzhi dug out the information sent by his colleagues on his mobile phone and looked at it, then led his peripheral vision towards the address written on it.
