Chapter 109: Clue

Huang Li hurriedly piled up a professional smile, secretly took a deep breath, and stood up with an elegant posture: "The two are?..."

"You are the manager of Wanguo Hotel, right?" The two who came were Old Wu and Xiao Gao, investigation members of the Jiangdong Branch Criminal Police Brigade responsible for investigating Hou Hongbo's social relations.

The one speaking was the older Old Wu, which was the old criminal police officer who shot and killed Ling Wei in the alley that day.

Huang Li had already walked out of her seat: "Yes! The two of you?..."

Old Wu took out his police officer card: "We are from the Jiangdong Branch Criminal Police Brigade. My surname is Wu, this is my work card, and this is my colleague Xiao Gao. We are here to understand some situations."

Old Wu briefly explained the purpose. Huang Li smiled and said: "Oh! No problem, two police officers, please sit down. Xiao Liu, pour tea for the two police officers!"

The two thanked her and sat on the sofa in the reception area of the office. Xiao Gao took out a notebook, and Old Wu said: "It's like this, we learned that your Wanguo Hotel has had a batch of special guests these days, right?"

Old Wu asked straight to the point. Huang Li showed a bitter smile on her face: "Sigh! No way, opening a door to do business, you will always encounter some strange things. There has been a group of people these days, but in our service industry, we can't push guests out, right? We can only swallow the bitterness ourselves."

"Is the leader this person?" Old Wu didn't pick up on her complaining, took out a photo of a person from his bag, placed it in front of her, and asked.

The person in the photo was Hou Hongbo. Huang Li took a look and said: "Yes! It's this person! Why do you have his photo? We didn't want to disturb the police, did we?"

Huang Li didn't know the purpose of the police asking about Hou Hongbo at this moment. At this instant, she decided to hide the fact that she already knew Hou Hongbo had drowned in the flood drainage ditch.

Old Wu stared into her eyes and said: "Why? You don't know he drowned in the flood drainage ditch?"

Huang Li was stunned! Xiao Gao, who was responsible for recording beside Old Wu, raised his head and looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something, but heard Old Wu say again: "When was the last time you saw him? Who were the people around him?"

After inquiring at Wanguo Hotel for more than half an hour, they only obtained information that Hou Hongbo had been making trouble at the hotel for several consecutive days, but the hotel side had been very restrained and had not had any conflict with him.

And although Hou Hongbo's social relations were complex, they didn't find any enemy who had to kill him! The path of finding clues from social relations also reached a dead end!

On the other side, the investigation members responsible for searching for the source of the wig in Zizhen City also gained nothing. Just based on an incomplete hair strand, it was difficult to find a matching wig, and such wigs were mass-produced in a certain place in the north, and those small vendors wouldn't register the identity information of the buyers, so it was like looking for a needle in a haystack!

And the owner of the number that sent the text message to Hou Hongbo before he was killed was found, but it was useless. The number belonged to an old lady in her 70s. When they found the old lady, they were told that her ID card was lost, and she didn't know this number at all!

Just when several groups of people returned to the team in low spirits with no results, the investigation members responsible for investigating the taxi driver Gong Zheng returned with indignation!

It turned out that after they visited the taxi company belonging to the bus group where Gong Zheng worked and the family quarters of the bus company, the information they obtained was basically that Gong Zheng's family was honest and down-to-earth, and Gong Zheng was an advanced individual and service pacesetter every year!

The two investigation members who were responsible for investigating him obtained all this positive information. Just when the two were about to go back to report and suggest giving up the investigation of Gong Zheng, they were stopped by an old lady at the gate of the family quarters.

The old lady asked them mysteriously if they were investigating the matter of Gong's daughter. This question stunned the two of them. One of them was clever, and he casually said that the matter was a bit complicated, and asked her if she had any new situation to say.

The old lady told a past event of Gong Zheng's family, which was also something that other neighbors and colleagues deliberately avoided and didn't want to mention!

It turned out that Gong Zheng and his wife were in the same unit. Both of them were honest and down-to-earth. They got married after two years of dating, and their daughter was born the following year. Three years ago, their 16-year-old daughter inherited all the advantages of the couple and had already grown into a beautiful and moving young woman! However, her personality was the same as the two of them, even more introverted.

When the girl grew up, she had many thoughts. At that time, Gong Zheng had already transferred from the bus group passenger car post to the newly established taxi company to drive a taxi. Although he earned more money, his working hours were longer!

His wife Yang Juan remained in the bus company to drive a large passenger bus. That year, their daughter Gong Xiaoyue had just started high school. One day, Gong Zheng picked up a long-distance passenger at night and estimated that he couldn't return at night, so he called the family quarters gatekeeper to tell his wife who was resting at home that day.

Yang Juan heard that he was going to drive a night car to the provincial capital more than 300 kilometers away, and was a bit worried about him driving the night car alone. It happened that she was resting, and her daughter Xiaoyue was living at school, so she asked to go with him.

Gong Zheng thought it was okay. He had driven for a day during the day, and it would be good to have his wife change shifts with him on this trip at night, so the couple went to pick up the passenger together.

Unexpectedly, an event that was enough to change the fate of this originally ordinary but happy little family happened that night.

That night, Gong's daughter Xiaoyue asked for leave from her head teacher because she was not feeling well, and left school to go home after evening self-study.

Originally, the child also calculated that her mother was resting at home today, and her father rarely ran night cars, so she went home alone.

It was already ten o'clock at night when she arrived home, but she found that there was no one at home. The girl wanted to go to the gatekeeper's room to page her parents. After arriving at the gatekeeper's room, the gatekeeper's old couple had already slept. After Gong Xiaoyue woke them up, she learned that her parents had run a long distance today.

This girl was also sensible, and she was used to being independent. Thinking that her parents must still be driving at this time, if she sent a message to them, it would make them worry instead.

So the girl said goodbye to the gatekeeper's old couple and went home alone. Originally, this was nothing, and the night would pass quickly.

But that night, when Gong Xiaoyue was talking to the gatekeeper's old man, she didn't expect to meet a hooligan who was wandering on the street after having fun at a nightclub! It happened to be a summer night. Although Gong Xiaoyue was wearing a school uniform, she couldn't hide her body that had already developed, especially when she was standing outside the gatekeeper's room, the light in the room shone on her, and the thin clothes revealed the curves of her body through the light...

The hooligan who had just wandered to the gate of the family quarters saw Gong Xiaoyue at a glance. His eyes were like a hook, nailed to Gong Xiaoyue. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard her conversation with the gatekeeper, and couldn't help but lick his lips and laugh lewdly...

When the Gong Zheng couple rushed back that night, it was already six o'clock in the morning. As soon as the two entered the courtyard, the gatekeeper waved at him from afar, telling them that Gong Xiaoyue had returned last night.

The two thought that their daughter might be feeling unwell somewhere, so she came home to live for a night, and didn't think much about it, and went straight home.

After returning home, they found that their daughter Gong Xiaoyue's schoolbag and shoes were still at home, and the child hadn't gotten up yet! Seeing that she was about to be late, Yang Juan went to knock on the child's room door.

After knocking a few times, there was no movement. Yang Juan thought the child wanted to sleep in, so she pushed the door open directly, saw her daughter still sleeping with her head covered, and felt angry in her heart, so she went up and lifted her daughter's quilt! ===== CHAPTER 110 =====
