After Han Cheng and Hong Xi arrived at Xinyang Road, they met with the Rui City police.
Then they divided into two teams and searched Ren Li's rented building building by building from both sides of Xinyang Road.
Soon, in a private house, Han Cheng found Ren Li's rental information from the landlord.
Han Cheng asked the landlord to open the rental house Ren Li rented.
Entering the house, Han Cheng saw that it was covered with dust and there was a musty smell in the house. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time!
Han Cheng opened the video recorded by Fang Yang and compared the background wall behind Ren Li in the video with the small objects on the table.
He was sure that Ren Li had video chat with Fang Yang in this rental house.
"Landlord, when was the last time you saw Ren Li?" Han Cheng asked.
"I don't remember exactly when it was! It must have been more than a month! I don't live here, I only come here occasionally to collect rent. When Renli moved here, she directly paid half a year's rent, so I haven't paid any rent recently. I came to ask her for rent! I only saw her occasionally when collecting rent from other tenants." The landlord told the truth.
"Comrade police, are you looking for that slut who often chats with men at night?" A middle-aged man with a somewhat wretched appearance came to the door and interrupted.
Hearing what the wretched man said, Han Cheng felt that he seemed to know something.
"Brother, it seems like you know something, why don't you tell me!" Han Cheng walked to the door and started chatting with the wretched man.
The wretched man looked mysterious, "Comrade police, I know something, but I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I tell you!"
"Don't worry, we will protect your privacy, just say it! If what you say is helpful to us, we will also reward you accordingly!"
"Okay! Then I'll tell you everything I know!" The wretched man seemed to have been waiting for Han Cheng's words.
"Officer, I suspect that the flirtatious girl who lives next door to me and his boyfriend are fraudsters!"
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
"The soundproofing of our building is not very good. If the sound from the next room is louder, I can hear it from my room. For a while, I often heard the man teaching the chatty girl how to seduce a man and what she said. As long as you catch that kid, you can easily get one million..."
"The man said that. Isn't it obvious that he wanted the flirty girl to lie to him?..."
"Have you seen that man?"
The wretched man wanted to continue talking, but Han Cheng interrupted him and asked the key points.
"I've seen him before, but the man always wears a mask, so I can't see his face clearly!"
"What's his height? Is he fat or thin?"
"Height is a bit taller than me, about 1.7 meters, and his body is a bit thin. By the way, he wears gold-rimmed glasses!"
...
After chatting with the wretched man, Han Cheng returned to the house to investigate.
He found that although there was a layer of dust in the room, it seemed that the entire room had been thoroughly cleaned before the room was filled with dust.
Someone probably didn't want the police to find the traces left in the room.
This cover-up behavior further increased the suspicion between Ren Li and the mysterious man.
After inspecting the room, Han Cheng came to the balcony.
The balcony is approximately two meters wide and five meters long.
On the far left is a drum washing machine, and on the far right is a cement table made of red bricks.
This cement table is built against the wall, and the bottom of the stone table is enclosed on all sides.
The cement table is covered with potted plants.
Han Cheng took a closer look at the cement tabletop. It looked very new and should have been built recently.
"Landlord, did you build this stone table?"
The landlord shook his head, "No! It didn't exist before! This place was empty before I rented it to Ren Li! She should have asked someone to build it!"
Han Cheng frowned as he looked at the stone table.
Will two fraudsters be in the mood to play with flowers and plants? Scammers usually take one shot and change the location!
Besides, when playing with flowers and plants, is it necessary to build a special stone table? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to buy a stainless steel shelf?
Han Cheng approached the stone table and smelled it hard, and suddenly his eyes widened.
Seeing Han Cheng's expression, Hong Xi quickly asked, "Han Shen, what's wrong? Did you find anything?"
When he came close to the stone table and smelled it so hard just now, Han Cheng smelled a faint smell of corpse inside.
Several policemen brought hammers and smashed open the back of the stone table.
I saw that there was indeed a body hidden inside.
The body was wrapped in cement, integrated with the cement, and hardened into a cement block.
After the Rui City police transported the body back to the police station, the forensic doctor confirmed that the deceased was Ren Li through DNA comparison.
Obviously, the man who supported Ren Li had serious suspicions.
The case seems to be getting more and more complicated as we get to this point.
Originally, Han Cheng thought that Fang Yang was tricked into Rui City by Ren Li, and then Ren Li and others kidnapped Fang Yang, and finally transferred Fang Yang to Nan City for unknown reasons.
But now even Ren Li is dead!
Why was she killed?
Is it because of uneven distribution of the spoils or because the mysterious man wants to keep the ransom money for himself?
But the strange thing is that the 1 million that Fang Yang transferred to Ren Li has always been in Ren Li's card, and has never been taken out or transferred out.
If the mysterious man killed Ren Li to keep the ransom, he should have withdrawn the money later!
Could it be that the mysterious man killed Ren Li out of anger because she refused to reveal her bank password?
This situation is possible, but it is only one of the possibilities. Until many mysteries are solved, all possibilities exist.
The mysterious man is very cunning. It seems that he has planned everything from the beginning and has been hiding himself behind the scenes.
And he also has certain anti-reconnaissance capabilities. For example, he rented the house under Ren Li's name, and there was no surveillance around the house...
In any case, what Han Cheng and the others have to do now is to find the mysterious man as soon as possible.
Because he has been involved in two murder cases now and is an extremely dangerous person.
But how to find traces of the mysterious man?
Han Cheng does not believe in a perfect crime. As long as the mysterious man is a human being, he cannot do without food, clothing, housing and transportation.
As long as you start from these aspects, you will definitely be able to find some clues.
For example, when the mysterious man brought a living person like Fang Yang, how did he get to Nan City?
Take a train? airplane? coach?
Obviously, he would not choose these public transportation methods.
Because his goal with a living person is too big, it will arouse other people's ideas.
After some elimination, Han Cheng felt that the mysterious man was most likely driving a car from Rui City to Nan City.
And if the mysterious man’s means of travel is a car.
So what route will he take from Rui City to Nan City?
With the mysterious man's cautious character, Han Cheng thought that he would not take the highway, because there were high-definition cameras everywhere on the highway, and he was stopped and checked from time to time.
Therefore, the mysterious man most likely took a national highway or a country road.
