After getting the information he wanted, Di Zhen was about to leave. Then he thought, was Xu Jin involved in the murder case?
She seemed like a gentle and amiable middle - aged woman, devoted to her child. But she was also the Beneficiary of the Murder Case and had reasons to hate Wei Xiang.
Just to be safe, he'd better question her.
"Have you eaten, young man? Why don't you stay for a meal?" she asked politely. As a single mother, few men visited her, especially a handsome, kind - hearted young man.
"No, thanks. I need to catch the bus," Di Zhen smiled.
"Once this is all over, I'll really thank you. May I have your contact information?" Xu Jin took out her phone.
"Wow, that flower is so beautiful!" Di Zhen pointed at the plants on the balcony. As he stood up and walked over, Xu Jin followed him. They entered the bedroom so that what came next wouldn't be seen by her son.
"I just grow them for fun. Do you like succulents? I'll give you one," Xu Jin said with a smile.
"Is this a succulent?"
"This species is called a succulent. Each one has a name. This is a jade tree, this is a haworthia truncata, and this is an aeonium arboreum..."
"Interesting! Ms. Xu, actually, I have a secret to tell you."
"Ah? Go ahead.
Di Zhen looked around, then leaned close to Xu Jin's ear. "I've never told anyone about this. You must listen carefully and keep it in mind..."
Xu Jin nodded.
"Actually, the boss..." Di Zhen spoke very slowly, one word at a time. The moment Xu Jin's attention was highly concentrated, he suddenly covered her eyes with his hand and said in a [hypnosis]-like voice, "Sleep! Sleep!"
Xu Jin's body went limp. Di Zhen supported her, laid her on the bed, and then closed the door.
He whispered, "Xu Jin, do you recognize who I am?"
Xu Jin rolled her eyes and said in a daze, "Old Wei?"
"I died so terribly!"
"The [policeman] is investigating. It'll come to light soon."
"I have a question for you. Do you hate me?"
"What hate or no hate? You're just a stranger to me."
"Then do you wish I was dead? Did you kill me?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Jin frowned slightly, but her tone wasn't very intense. "You were confused when you were alive, and you're still confused after death. You don't even know who killed you. Go cry to your [mistress], you bastard!"
It seemed this woman was not involved in the case. Di Zhen said, "He's gone. Now have a good sleep, have sweet dreams, and forget everything I said to you in this room!"
Di Zhen left quietly. When the little boy came out and saw that his mother was asleep, snoring softly with a smile on her face, he was overjoyed. He quietly went to the fridge to get a cake and a can of Coke, then went back to play games.
Taking advantage of the night, Di Zhen came to [Anhui Community]. There was a notice about water cut pasted outside the security room. The security guard was sitting inside, looking down at his phone.
Di Zhen was wondering whether to use normal methods or directly [implanting a symbol] when a man appeared in his sight.
The man was standing across the road. He wasn't tall, with a center - parted hairstyle, triangular eyes, and thin lips, exactly the same as the suspicious tenant described by the landlord!
He was wearing a hoodie and a cap, with a cigarette in his mouth. For some reason, there was some water on his body. His narrow eyes kept looking around.
His cold expression made Di Zhen think of cold - blooded animals.
He should be here to scout the place. That meant his next target was [Wei Xiang]'s [mistress]!
Unexpectedly running into the murderer here, Di Zhen couldn't help but show a sneer.
The man looked around for a while, as if observing the surveillance outside the community, then turned around and left. Di Zhen crossed the road and followed him.
It was the rush hour. There were a lot of people on the sidewalk. Di Zhen, with his tall stature, pushed through the crowd like a ship cleaving through the waves and closely followed the man. Whenever the man showed any sign of turning his neck, Di Zhen would immediately flash behind the nearby tree.
Find an empty place and directly interrogate him! That was his plan.
The man was also very alert. He seemed to sense something, looked back, and suddenly quickened his pace.
Di Zhen frowned secretly. Tracking wasn't his strong suit. It seemed the man was on guard.
Should he launch a direct attack?
No, that wouldn't work!
The [b][Mind - Control Technique][/b] was almost ineffective in a one - on - one confrontation. Once the other person was hostile to him, even the most skilled person couldn't directly [implanting a symbol].
The secret of [b]implanting a symbol[/b] lies in making the other party focus on something and then striking unexpectedly.
Of course, there is also a violent way of [b]implanting a symbol[/b]. It involves directly grabbing the other party by the neck, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain and putting them in a trance, then seizing the opportunity to [b]implant a symbol[/b]. However, Di Zhen was not proficient in this method, and it was risky.
After a short run by the man, Di Zhen came out and continued to tail him. But the guy was very cunning. He slapped the tray out of a food delivery guy's hand, and the noodle soup splashed all over a passer - by. The sidewalk was instantly in chaos.
Di Zhen gritted his teeth and forced his way through the crowd. With much difficulty, he reached the intersection and found that the man had gotten into an old light truck.
Di Zhen could only use his "camera" to take a picture of the license plate.
Watching the truck drive away, Di Zhen felt a wave of disappointment. Cars are immovable property and are registered under the owner's name, so checking the license plate should lead to the man. But how could he do it alone? He couldn't just use [b]Mind - Control Technique[/b] to break into the Vehicle Administration Office!
There was a soft beep from his phone in his pocket. He took it out and saw that he had received many messages on WeChat from Gong Qin.
This girl kept bugging him with idle chatter. Gong Qin was the only city - dweller he knew. She had mentioned having some connections. He wondered if she could help.
So he typed a reply: "Help me check a license plate."
Gong Qin replied in a second: "Then how will you reward me?"
"Money."
Gong Qin sent a face - palming laughing emoji. "Haha, do you have to be so blunt? Why don't you just invite me to dinner!"
So Di Zhen typed out the license plate number and sent it. Gong Qin replied with an "OK" gesture.
Putting his phone back in his pocket, Di Zhen stood still for a while, then decided to go back to the neighborhood to look for the mistress.
At 8 p.m., in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Jiangxia City.
Gong Jingfan was carefully studying several confessions, while Wang Bing was typing away on the keyboard. Suddenly, he patted Gong Jingfan on the shoulder. "Look at this!"
Gong Jingfan saw a phone interface on the computer and said, "Are you at it again?"
"When we summoned Gao Weiguang this morning, I held his phone for a bit and secretly installed a background program in it."
"What kind of background program? You're being so coy about it. It's just a 'Trojan Horse'. If the captain finds out, he'll scold you."
Wang Bing shrugged. "Keep it a secret for me. I'm checking who he's been in touch with recently. There's an app for a forum on his phone that has been frequently installed and deleted. I suspect there's something fishy about it."
"Can you access its content?"
"I've downloaded it. It seems to be just an ordinary local forum. Now we just have to wait for Gao Weiguang to log in again, and I'll be able to see what he's posted."
"Good job!"
Just then, Gong Jingfan's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that his sister was asking him to check a license plate number. Didn't she know he was swamped with work? How thoughtless!
