Chapter 71: Target Person Lai Rongtao
The cockroach didn’t know what Xiao Tao on the other end of the phone said; it only heard the female two-legged beast mention money.
“She said that if you don’t want to be caught by the police, you have to give money, the more the better.”
Jiang Yuan’s expression was solemn, and he frowned, pressing for details, “And then? What else did she say?”
The cockroach took a bite of a biscuit before continuing, “Then the female two-legged beast hung up the phone, and kept calling him an idiot, trash, a poor loser.”
Jiang Yuan guessed that Xiao Tao was unwilling to be blackmailed by Dai Ruofei and didn’t want to give her money.
“When did that male two-legged beast arrive?”
Cockroach: “When it was very dark. The female two-legged beast was going to sleep, and then the male two-legged beast knocked on the door.”
Jiang Yuan: “Did the two of them quarrel?”
The cockroach shook its head from side to side, “They didn’t quarrel. The male said to the female, ‘How much money do you want, I’m willing to give it all…'”
At that time, Xiao Tao entered the living room wearing socks, and his hands, which were in the pockets of his hoodie, were also wearing gloves.
He stared at Dai Ruofei, his tone sincere, “I was too impulsive just now, don’t be angry. I’ve thought it through. You’re helping me, and it’s only right that I give you money. How much money do you want, I’m willing to give it to you.”
Dai Ruofei snorted lightly, a proud smile appearing on her face, “It’s best that you’ve figured it out. Transfer one hundred thousand yuan to me first.”
Xiao Tao lowered his head, a sinister and resentful glint in his eyes. When he looked up again, he smiled ingratiatingly, “Can you give me one day? Tomorrow, I’ll definitely transfer the money to you tomorrow.”
“Poor loser,” Dai Ruofei cursed, but she still agreed, “At the latest tomorrow. If I don’t receive the money tomorrow, the day after tomorrow I’ll take the video of you murdering Qiu Ailin to the police station and report you.”
Xiao Tao gritted his back molars and forced out a smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely get it tomorrow.”
Dai Ruofei nodded, “Alright, then get out.”
“Okay,” Xiao Tao stood up.
Dai Ruofei turned her back to him, “Close the door when you leave.”
“Okay,” Xiao Tao agreed.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan pressed her lips together, her gaze slightly cold, “Did you see the male push the female downstairs?”
“We saw it,” the cockroach replied. “The male said, ‘Go to hell,’ and then pushed the female down.”
Xiao Tao closed the door but didn’t leave. He quietly hid.
Dai Ruofei didn’t notice. She lay on the sofa scrolling through her phone, and eventually fell asleep.
Her phone was still playing a video. Xiao Tao, who was hiding in the kitchen, cautiously came to the living room.
Looking at Dai Ruofei sleeping soundly, his eyes were filled with hatred. He picked her up and without hesitation rushed to the balcony, gritting his teeth and saying, “Go to hell!”
Jiang Yuan: “In what way did the male push her?”
Cockroach: “This… I don’t know how to say it.”
Jiang Yuan’s thoughts stirred, and she demonstrated, “Was it like this, pushing the female with both hands?”
“No,” the cockroach shook its head again. “The male held the female with both hands and pushed her down.”
“Held her?” Jiang Yuan frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then asked in confusion, “Did he pick her up horizontally and throw her down?”
“Do you want a demonstration?” Si Heng asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded, “Yes.”
Meng Xiaokai thought Si Heng was going to demonstrate himself, and thought, “Now I’ve got you!”
He had thought hard for a long time after returning home last night and finally figured out what was going on.
It wasn’t that he and the boss weren’t close, but that the boss had finally fallen in love.
Meng Xiaokai was thinking when he suddenly heard his boss call his name, “Xiaokai, come here.”
“Yes,” he walked over bewilderedly. “Boss, what’s wrong?”
Si Heng said lightly, “Demonstrate with me.”
Meng Xiaokai: “…”
“Wait, why didn’t you ask Jiang Yuan for such a good opportunity? Besides, it’s so awkward for two grown men!”
No, he had to help his boss.
Meng Xiaokai: “Boss, I’m too heavy, you can’t carry me. Why don’t you ask Jiang Yuan?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Heng shot him a sharp glare.
Meng Xiaokai scratched his head and quickly corrected himself, “Actually, I’ve lost weight these past few days.”
Si Heng didn’t waste words with him. He extended his powerful arms and picked him up horizontally.
Jiang Yuan pointed at the two of them and asked the cockroach, “Please, is it like holding her up like this?”
Unexpectedly, the cockroach still shook its head from side to side, “No.”
Jiang Yuan frowned, her fair face showing bewilderment, “Not like this? Then when you said ‘held,’ did you mean holding up to the head?”
Hearing this, Si Heng changed his hand movements and directly lifted Meng Xiaokai over his head.
Meng Xiaokai quickly said, “Boss, lower it a bit, I’m going to hit the ceiling.”
This time, before Jiang Yuan could ask, the cockroach nodded and said, “Yes, yes, yes, that’s how he pushed!”
Dai Ruofei, who had been lifted into the air, woke up and realized it was Xiao Tao holding her up. She immediately cursed, “Damn it, are you crazy? Put me down!”
“Okay, I’ll put you down now.” Xiao Tao’s lips curled into a cruel arc. He gathered strength in his arms and threw Dai Ruofei over the balcony guardrail, “You damn woman, how dare you threaten me!”
“If it was like this, then it couldn’t be called pushing,” Jiang Yuan said seriously. “How many people have you seen him throw like this?”
Cockroach: “Um… two in total. Those two two-legged beasts who lived in this house.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “After he threw the two-legged beasts, did he do anything else?”
Cockroach: “Yes, he mopped the floor.”
Xiao Tao mopped the floor of the living room, afraid of leaving any trace.
Before leaving, he also took Dai Ruofei’s phone from the sofa.
“He even mopped the floor?” Meng Xiaokai suppressed the urge to curse. “Does he think we won’t be able to catch him like this? Naive!”
Jiang Yuan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked the cockroach, “Did he mop the kitchen floor?”
The cockroach said while eating a biscuit, “No, he didn’t.”
Jiang Yuan turned to look at Si Heng, her eyes bright, and said excitedly, “He was hiding in the kitchen at the time, and he didn’t mop the kitchen floor when he left. Maybe there were hairs that fell off.”
“Okay,” Si Heng understood and called the colleagues from the technical investigation department, asking them to focus their investigation on the kitchen.
Jiang Yuan and the others retreated to the living room, leaving the kitchen space for the technical investigators.
Two days later.
The technicians analyzed and appraised day and night. The results of the suspect’s hair test came out.
After being entered into the genetic database for comparison and screening, and through complex calculations and matching, the target person, Lai Rongtao, was precisely identified.
An investigation revealed that the suspect’s full name is Lai Rongtao, he is twenty-nine years old, and has been unemployed for three months. Before losing his job, he was a programmer at a game company.
His older sister and brother-in-law rent an apartment on the sixth floor of Wutong Apartment. Before losing his job, Lai Rongtao occasionally visited his sister’s home for meals. He once encountered Qiu Ailin in the elevator, was attracted by her appearance, and then began to strike up a conversation and pursue her.
After losing his job, Lai Rongtao moved in with his sister, freeloading food, drinks, and lodging.
On the one hand, he didn’t want to spend his own money, and on the other hand, it was to be closer to his goddess.
