As a result, the task force immediately cooperated with the transportation department and began to investigate white minibuses in the city.
Early on the morning of September 3rd, Ye Mo received a call from Xiao Wu, a member of the task force.
"Hey, Captain Ye, we found it."
"Where?"
"Guanglong District Qingma Car Rental Company."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Ye Mo immediately led the team to the destination.
Guanglong District Qingma Car Rental Company is a small car rental company, about 11 kilometers away from the scene of the crime.
Ye Mo led the team to the destination. As soon as he got off the car, Xiao Wu, the investigator of the task force, came over. He stood at attention and saluted Ye Mo: "Team Ye."
"Thank you for your hard work, how is the situation?" Ye Mo asked as he walked.
"It's basically confirmed that the murderer rented a car here." Xiao Wu said.
"Okay, I'll ask the person in charge for the specific situation." Ye Mo nodded. In this case, Ye Mo was very cautious about visiting and asking questions. He had to do it himself.
Because he can tell whether a person is lying from his face.
This is crucial to the case.
This can filter out false clues and identify the murderer more accurately.
There are actually many reasons why the person in charge here was not asked to go to the bureau in person, but Ye Mo came in person.
First, you are a civil servant, and they are ordinary people. Their cooperation with you in investigating cases is the greatest support for your work. If it is relatively close, two or three kilometers or something is about the same.
It's dozens of kilometers away, so you'd better come over in person.
Second, Ye Mo plans to come to the site to investigate in person, and maybe he can find other clues.
Arriving at the car rental company's office, Ye Mo met the person in charge. His name was Zhang Kaihua. He was in his fifties, bald and had a big belly.
When he saw Ye Mo coming, he quickly pinched off his cigarette butts and stood up to greet him.
"Captain Ye, I told you to come over to your station, but your comrade said you should come in person. This is so troublesome." Zhang Kaihua had heard about some of Ye Mo's deeds and admired this policeman very much. Now that he saw him , naturally very excited.
"You are also busy at work, so we can't cause you any trouble because of our work, right?" Ye Mo said.
"Where is it? It's like this. I know everything about the situation. This is the information provided by the person who rented the car. It's all here." Zhang Kaihua handed the file bag to Ye Mo.
After Ye Mo got the information, he didn't read it in a hurry, but asked about the situation first.
"When that person came to rent a car, did he behave abnormally?" Ye Mo asked.
"It looks normal, there is nothing strange about it. The reason why I remember it so clearly is because this person is relatively delicate and has a B1 driver's license. Generally speaking, people who drive this type of car often have their skin exposed to the sun." The sun is not that white, and most of them are in their forties or fifties." Zhang Kaihua recalled what happened that day, and then talked to Ye Mo in detail.
"Tell me about the situation when he came to rent a car." Ye Mo said.
"It was noon, the sun was very bright, and there were not many customers that day. I was napping on a chair in the store on the first floor. This man suddenly walked in and told me that he wanted to rent a car. I looked at him and asked him what kind of car he wanted to rent. He When talking about minibuses, I said minibuses were not acceptable and required a B1 driver's license. He immediately took out his driver's license. I was stunned for a moment, then put on my glasses and looked at it carefully."
"I asked him why he was renting a car. He said that colleagues from the work unit wanted to go on a trip and rent a minibus. I said that our car could not go out of the province, but only within the province. He said that it was just to go to the farm for team building, no. I knew how to go out of the province, and then I negotiated the price and went through the formalities with him, and then rented the car to him for three days."
"He was also very trustworthy. He returned the car three days later and even washed the car for us."
Zhang Kaihua looked at Ye Mo and said, when the investigating police came to investigate this morning, they only asked about a few aspects, and Zhang Kaihua immediately remembered it.
The first thing is whether anyone came to rent a white minibus during that time three months ago.
The second thing is that that person is relatively handsome, about thirty years old, with very long hair.
Putting these several conditions together, let alone three months, even one year has passed, and Zhang Kaihua has an impression.
Those who run a car rental company like them have to carefully observe the customers who come to rent a car, and review the information very strictly.
"Take me to see that car." Ye Mo then suggested.
"Okay, come with me." Zhang Kaihua said and took Ye Mo to the garage.
Ye Mo came to the garage and checked the car carefully. After all, more than three months had passed and the car had been rented out many times. There was nothing special about the car anymore.
Soon, after Ye Mo's personal inquiry and understanding of the situation, the task force immediately launched an investigation into the car renter.
By reviewing various copied information in the documents, members of the task force learned that the man who rented the car was named Qian Xiaojia, a 31-year-old native of Ninghai City.
Therefore, the task force immediately went to the address registered on Qian Xiaojia's ID card to conduct an investigation.
Qian Xiaojia's hometown is in the countryside, and there are not many families living in the village now.
There is only one old mother left in the family.
But when Ye Mo led the team to Qian Xiaojia's home, his mother claimed that Qian Xiaojia was no longer in the city.
She said that he had quit his job as a minibus driver a long time ago and said that a friend asked him to work in a coastal city where the wages were high.
However, Ye Mo discovered at a glance that Qian Xiaojia's mother was lying.
His intuition told him that Qian Xiaojia had not left the city.
Ye Mo looked at the lady and did not question her, even though he knew she was lying.
This mother's awareness of protecting her children is instinctive.
Even if she died, she wouldn't tell her.
Ye Mo came outside and then said to another captain: "Arrange more people to come immediately and launch a search for the entire village."
"Captain Ye, have you found any clues?" the captain asked.
"I just took a look. This aunt is cooking rice in the pot. The rice is for two people. There are also a lot of newly chopped firewood piled in the woodshed. This aunt has a disability in her right hand. One person cannot chop so much. It's wooden, so Qian Xiaojia should be nearby." Ye Mo said.
"I understand." The captain nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Not long after, a large number of special police officers arrived, and police dog teams were also dispatched.
Sure enough, it took less than three hours for the investigators to catch Qian Xiaojia in the mountains.
Seeing Qian Xiaojia being arrested, his mother immediately collapsed on the ground, knelt down and kowtowed, begging Ye Mo to let his son go.
Ye Mo was also helpless about this.
He also hoped that the real murderer was not Qian Xiaojia.
