Chapter 45 Recording (2)

  Recording (2)

  Back home, it was already dawn. Liao Xinxin didn't even wash her face before collapsing onto the bed. Her two big eyes were dull from fatigue, staring blankly at the pendant lamp hanging down from the aluminum ceiling.

  There were a few decorative pieces and small crystal pieces on the chandelier that reflected the light, now reflecting the moonlight outside the window, a cold white moon color. Liao Xin's home was located in a building near the river, which was one of the most expensive river-view houses in the city. In addition to good air quality and quietness, it also had the advantage of not feeling like other high-rise residents who couldn't see sunlight every day. Because her house was south-facing and there were no other buildings blocking the front, both sunlight and moonlight could shine in unobstructed.

  The room was bright even without turning on the lights due to the moonlight and the decorative river lanterns on the river surface. Liao Xinxin turned over in bed, closed her eyes for a while, then sat up.

  It's really hard to fall asleep. She supported her chin, although the formal investigation would only start tomorrow, but thinking that the case had not made any progress, even if there was a clue, relying solely on the unclear half-side face in the video and her and Shen Yu's vague impression of the girl, going to find someone in such a provincial city is really a very difficult thing. Thinking of this, she completely lost her sleepiness.

  Or it can be said that Liao Xin Xin surprisingly still has a sense of responsibility?

  Take out the U disk given to her by Shen Yu from her bag and plug it into the laptop, then enter the file protection password. Every staff member in the Provincial Office will have various storage devices assigned by the office, and each person has their own password, which no one else knows except themselves. After Shen Yu told me the password this time, she would definitely change the password of her U disk immediately. Caution is necessary in such a position.

  After entering the password, only a video file was displayed on the computer. It seems that Shen Yu had set multiple passwords. After entering the initial password, you can only see files protected by one layer of password, and other files will not be visible until another password is entered.

  The video started playing, and Liao Xinxin's gaze was completely fixed on the girl in front of Ge Tianyu. A baseball cap, ponytail, dark short jacket, jeans, and snow boots - a simple yet extreme outfit.

  Liao Xin's new mobile mouse zooms in on the video screen, hat, can't see what brand it is; cotton clothes seem to be a style from Yaku several years ago, many shopping malls have this down jacket on special price clearance sale, completely non-specific; jeans are even more ubiquitous; snow boots part due to too dark light can't see clearly even when zoomed in.

  She let out a sigh, and her gaze shifted back to Ge Tianyu. If she didn't know Ge Tianyu's name and identity, it would be even easier to find him. With just that limited-edition pair of shoes, she could go to the specialty store and ask about the buyer's information, very convenient and quick.

  The video has nothing worth analyzing, the only useful thing is that a portrait can be made from it, and that's all.

  It seems that I have to approach it from another angle.

  Where was it that day when I met that girl with Shen Yu? It seemed that the road was not far from Shuxiangyuan community, and at that time, when passing by Shuxiangyuan, I mentioned to Shen Yu that the property of this community is very good. Then, roughly about five minutes later, they bumped into a girl who was hurrying past them with a shopping bag.

  Liao Xinxin remembered that the girl was wearing very little, shivering. Since it was like this, then the place where she bought things should not be far from where they met. Shen Yi had said that her shopping bag contained a hat, a telescope and a recorder, these kinds of things can now be found in any slightly larger supermarket or convenience store, there's no need for her to run all the way to a very distant place from her home while shivering with cold.

  Since home and supermarket should be close to the meeting place, it seems easy to find some. Liao Xinxin smiled, let's start tomorrow, hoping for a smooth journey.

  The portrait is done, it's a blurry half-side face, but the overall facial features can be seen. Shen Yu looked at the time, 7:00 sharp.

  "Let's go," Shen Yu said.

  Liao Xinxin quickly followed up and glared at Yuan Fei beside her with a pretentious serious face.

  Why bring this guy along too? Is it meant to be nauseating?

  "Yuan Fei is quick-witted, which is a good thing. Don't make such a long face like you've eaten bitter melon." Shen Yu said with a glance at Liao Xinxin's extremely long face.

  "Oh." Liao Xinxin reluctantly responded with a single word.

  "Inspector, I will definitely work hard!" Yuan Fei stood upright and loudly said a sentence, making Liao Xinxin's left ear buzz for half a day.

  Just work hard then, no need to be so loud about it. Liao Xin's mouth almost reached the back of his ears. What a show-off.

  The road names in W City are always so tacky, Youyi Road, Qingnian Road, Weiyi Road... Liao Xinxin finally couldn't bear it and shifted her gaze back from the navigation.

  "It's almost here." Shen Yu glanced at the navigation, "Just at the next intersection."

  It was indeed not far from Shuxiangyuan community, Liao Xinxin saw the gate of Shuxiangyuan flashing quickly outside the car window, and calculated the route in her mind. From here to the next intersection is about 800 meters away, which would be a five or six minute walk. So if we take the place where they met as the center point, with a radius of a five or six minute walking distance, it's likely that the girl's residential area is within this range.

  "It's right here," said Liao Xinxin. "I still remember this place, when the police stopped you to look at that girl, I noticed there was a Dicos across the street."

  "Uh-huh, it was here, she came from that direction at the time." Shen Yu said, looking around.

  "Let's go to the supermarket where she went shopping first," said Yuan Fei. "Judging from the video, her family condition shouldn't be too good. There are many small supermarkets and convenience stores in this area, they have a wide range of goods but are much cheaper than large supermarkets."

  Duo Fu Supermarket. This is a recent convenience store, the facade is not big, but there are many types of goods, and the price is also very fair. On weekends in the afternoon, it's crowded with people shopping, especially in the daily necessities and food area, it's simply impossible to put your feet down.

  "Hats and binoculars are all here, but I didn't see a recorder." Yuan Fei said to Shen Yu after circling around the store.

  "It shouldn't be this store then," said Liao Xinxin. "This store is relatively small, and voice recorders aren't sold everywhere. Maybe she bought a hat and binoculars here, and then went somewhere else to buy the recorder."

  "There isn't a specialty store around here, and the bigger supermarkets are at the fifth intersection outside, very far away." Shen Yu said, "Now recording pens are very common, they can be bought in supermarkets, it's just that you can't buy those with better sound quality."

  "Oh." Liao Xinxin thought for a moment and pulled over a sales clerk to ask, "Excuse me, does our store have any tape recorders?"

  "It's all gone," said the salesperson. "We'll restock after a while. This type of item doesn't sell much, so we won't be bringing in many each time."

  "Thank you." Liao Xinxin turned her head and said, "Go ask at the checkout counter."
