Chapter 52: Unraveling the Cocoon 2

Li Weiyi felt excited and nervous, and her intuition told her that the winner was her father! But why didn't he go to claim the prize for a month, until the night before the lottery expired, and suddenly he behaved strangely and then disappeared?

She knew her father's character very well, and after a moment's thought, she came up with an inference——

My father never buys lottery tickets. Maybe after he found her note at home, he looked at the string of numbers and didn't think about it at first. Or maybe he thought about it and didn't take it seriously. Until one day, he had a sudden impulse and went to buy it.

He won the lottery on April 8th. With his busy old scalper temperament, he probably forgot about it afterwards.

That makes sense.

Until almost a month later, when he went home on the night of May 8th, he might have noticed the winning information from the lottery shop on the road, or he might have heard someone talking about the breaking news that someone in the city won the first prize but failed to redeem it, and it was about to expire.

Only then did I realize that I had won the lottery. My father ran a small business and carried a small pocket bag with him every day. It was very likely that he had bought the lottery ticket and just stuffed it into his pocket and carried it with him.

But why did he go to the lottery shop by the river again?

Yes, he bought the lottery ticket there. Maybe he wanted to confirm it, or maybe he thought he would redeem his prize at that lottery store.

But the Shuangseqiu first prize must be claimed in Xiangcheng, the provincial capital.

He must have heard the news from people talking at the lottery station.

Li Weiyi's heart was shocked: Yes! It must be like this.

In the alley where my father last appeared, no one knew where he wanted to go. It was neither the direction home nor the direction to the store.

Zhang Jingchan raised his eyes to look at her.

What is left are the self-built houses of different shapes. These houses are more difficult to investigate, and the police have already checked them once. It is impossible to conduct home searches, but they must have been roughly checked.

She threw the paper into the trash can and said with a smile: "I am a good man who cares about women."

Zhang Jingchan stood up, sat on a bench with her, put one arm on the table, and took out a piece of tissue. Li Weiyi's back stiffened slightly, and he had wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue, and his eyes

The eyes are dark and dull.

The alley is not long, only three to four hundred meters. A surveillance camera on the main road captured Li Zhongheng entering the alley. This was also the last picture of him left.

He said: "Let's talk about it then."

Li Weiyi was startled and then understood.

Because it was a shortcut, there were many people coming and going in the alley during the day. Li Weiyi remembered that at night, the alley was dark and the vegetable market at the other end was closed, so there were very few people.

It was from here that the police lost track of Li Zhongheng.

After saying that, Zhang Jingchan also sat down on the curb and took out his mobile phone: "Team D, I remembered an important clue."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhang Jingchan said: "Captain D suspects that someone he knows committed the crime."

"Okay, okay! Sit back quickly." Li Weiyi said quickly, "I was wrong, I don't dare to touch you anymore."

This is a very narrow alley with high walls on both sides. There are only a few houses, and the doors are closed during the day. There is a small shop at the entrance of the alley.

"No need to explain, I can probably guess it - your dad wants to take the night bus to the bus station to go to Xiangcheng to redeem the first prize?"

Zhang Jingchan explained the lottery in a clear and concise manner. Li Weiyi heard that what he said was almost exactly the same as what she thought, except that she omitted the details that she left the winning number note. This made her really convinced.

, this person’s insight is so sharp, does the CEO’s brain look like this?

Zhang Jingchan accompanied Li Weiyi from morning to afternoon. The two sneaked into the school and looked around the remote equipment room, storage room, and laboratory. They then entered the dormitories of two surrounding units and asked the guards and followed them.

Passers-by asked around and looked around every corner, but no one had seen Li Zhongheng. They also looked around the vegetable market.

She raised her head and met Zhang Jingchan's gaze. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, thoughtfully. Then Li Weiyi remembered that he didn't know anything, and hurriedly explained: "The thing is like this..."

Li Weiyi didn't know why she acted like this. It was probably because her forehead was too fair and the sweat looked too unsightly. She put down the paper and said, "It's not good-looking for a girl to have sweat on her head. You have to pay attention."

Protect my image."

Because that was the direction to the bus station. The lottery ticket expired the next day, and he wanted to catch the last night bus to Xiangcheng!

The two walked along the alley, and as expected, found nothing. One family knocked on the door but no one answered, and two other families said they had never seen Li Zhongheng. The owner of the canteen at the entrance said that there was no business at night and closed at 7 or 8 o'clock.

The door.

It was the first time for my father to buy lottery tickets. He didn’t know that the Xiangcheng Lottery Center would be off work at night, and he was stunned by the 5 million. He didn’t bring his mobile phone and couldn’t discuss it with his family. He must have wanted to rush to Xiangcheng as soon as possible to put the money in his pocket.

, and then explain it to your family.

Zhang Jingchan pondered: "Let's go to the alley where your father disappeared and see what we can find."

Li Weiyi: "...Damn! You are so smart!"

This sounded strange, and Li Weiyi subconsciously skipped it and thought about it, and instead said: "Thank you today for accompanying me to search all day long. If... we still can't find it by tomorrow morning, we will look for you first."

Dad, take care of Fu Ming’s case in advance. Every one can be saved.”

Li Weiyi sat down on the curb and murmured to herself: "But, did my father disappear in this city or in Xiangcheng?"

When Ding Chenmo heard this, he also felt that it made sense. An old detective like him had a very strong intuition, and he immediately felt that this was the key to solving the case. But he said: "There is no need to check the surveillance at the bus station, because yesterday I

We have sent people to check all the bus stations, Gao

Quick, dock surveillance - your father has not left Huaicheng. Li Weiyi, you go home first, don't wander around anymore, and don't leak this theory to anyone, even close acquaintances. I will mobilize the police immediately,

Don’t worry about tracing this line.”

Neither of them had eaten lunch, so they sat down at a wonton stall with hungry stomachs. Li Wei noticed that Zhang Jingchan took off his school uniform jacket and only wore a short-sleeved T-shirt. There was fine sweat on his forehead. She couldn't help but grab a tissue and replace it.

He wipes.

Then he mocked him again for what he said on the plane during his last time travel.

After exiting the alley, there is a not-so-wide road, next to the vegetable market. There are also primary schools, work dormitories, many self-built houses, and storefronts in all directions, and there is a mix of people.

Zhang Jingchan smiled faintly and thought to himself, your little head is not spinning too slowly.

All the doubts made sense.

Zhang Jingchan paused, threw the paper into the trash can, sat back in his chair, and said, "I didn't say you did anything wrong."

Zhang Jingchan said: "We don't need to check it ourselves. We can call Ding Chenmo. I think he is quite capable and can be used. He should be able to find out."

"What should we do now? Check the bus station surveillance?" The case suddenly became clear, and Li Weiyi felt excited and worried.

But both of them believed that it was unlikely that Li Zhongheng disappeared in this alley, and he should walk out.

Li Weiyi said sarcastically: "I'll do it myself." She wanted to grab the tissue in his hand, but he raised his hand, dodged it, and lost it. He changed another tissue, wiped her cheek, and said, "Okay?

?”

It was sunset, and the golden sunshine shrouded the surrounding buildings. The two of them were eating wontons side by side. Li Weiyi suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of her eye, walking into a courtyard. She took a closer look, and it was a woman.

She is thin and tall, wearing light makeup, high cheekbones and red lips. She is wearing a pink short skirt and high heels. She looks familiar.

Li Weiyi looked up again and saw that the courtyard she entered was clearly a restaurant, with a signboard of "Song Ji Food Garden" hanging at the door. There were several houses inside, covering a large area. But it was already the place to have dinner.

But no one came in or out of the gate. At first glance, it looked deserted, showing that there was no business.

Li Weiyi put down her chopsticks.

Zhang Jingchan: "What's wrong?"
