Chapter 329 Dark under the lamp
Xiaojiu pretended to be Luo Yunyun to attract their attention. Now that I think about it, Luo Yunyun did not leave the urban village.
Therefore, there is another place for Cangnan’s group of people to stay in the urban village.
Su Xiaoxiao reported her discovery to Qi Lei.
Qi Lei immediately contacted the director of the police station that the urban village belonged to and asked him to send over the list of temporary residents identified in the last inventory, and at the same time send someone to conduct a secret investigation.
It is not convenient for the criminal investigation team to come forward directly now, for fear of alerting the enemy and affecting Luo Yunyun's safety.
But it is not possible to rely solely on the comrades from the police station, so Su Xiaoxiao disguised the appearance of several team members, and they will investigate the urban village together with the police officers from the police station.
However, the urban villages are relatively large, with many outsiders, and without precise targets, it is very difficult to investigate.
Su Xiaoxiao watched the video sent by the kidnapper again. The video showed a white wall and an ordinary chair.
The corner of the curtain with small floral patterns makes it impossible to see outside.
Staying here is not a solution at all, so Su Xiaoxiao decides to go to the village in the city. The agreed time for delivering the ransom is tomorrow, and the kidnappers should not take any action today.
Li Yan also wanted to go with Su Xiaoxiao, so Su Xiaoxiao disguised both of them, making them look like working girls who wanted to rent a house.
They walked around the urban village, and asked the landlord to look at several houses. Finally, they sat down in a snack bar and ordered two bowls of beef noodles.
"What do you want to see?" Li Yan asked in a low voice.
"I want to see where is the most convenient place to go from that building?"
The building that Su Xiaoxiao mentioned was where Luo Yunyun first settled. These buildings are relatively new and the rent is relatively expensive, so some white-collar workers live here.
The surveillance camera downstairs in this building is broken, and I don’t know if it has been repaired now.
The owners of this small shop are an elderly couple in their fifties. They specialize in beef noodles. This small shop has been open in the urban village for many years.
The noodles were served quickly. The beef was braised by the boss himself and was cut very thinly. It was placed on the noodles, and vegetables were placed under the beef. It looked delicious.
The proprietress was very welcoming and there were a lot of seasonings on the table, allowing them to add as much as they wanted.
Su Xiaoxiao chatted with her for a while and asked her about the public security in the urban village and whether there were many outsiders.
The landlady thought they were from outside the area who wanted to rent a house, so she introduced them to several landlords.
After eating the noodles, Su Xiaoxiao even drank the soup and it tasted really good.
Because Su Xiao ate with relish, Li Yan's appetite was whetted and he finished the noodles.
"Walk."
"Where to go now?"
"Let's go there." Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the building opposite. She found that they had fallen into a misunderstanding again. They always wondered where Luo Yunyun went after she left, but what if she didn't leave?
This "not leaving" does not mean not leaving the room, but rather not leaving the building.
Luo Yunyun told Xiaojiu the phone number, but couldn’t she also tell Xiaojiu the address?
If she told Xiaojiu the address, Xiaojiu and his family could rent a house here in advance.
Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and imagined it.
When Luo Yunyun received the call, she opened the door and saw Xiaojiu. She was very happy and let her in.
But Xiaojiu said that she had a friend who also lived here, and her friend had already prepared food and was waiting for them to come over and eat.
So, Luo Yunyun happily picked up her bag, followed Xiaojiu out the door, and then entered another room, maybe on the same floor, maybe not.
They always thought that Luo Yunyun left the building after receiving the call, but in fact she did not leave at all, she just changed rooms.
The most dangerous place is also the safest place. It is just as dark as it is under the lamp.
Su Xiaoxiao took Li Yan directly to find the landlord.
The landlord lives in the building next door. He is a local and owns several buildings from which he collects rent. He has no worries about food and drink, and is living an enviable retirement life at a young age.
When Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door, he was lying on the sofa, browsing on his phone.
When I saw the two girls, I thought they were here to rent a house, but I didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to show her ID directly.
"Are you the officer Su who came here two days ago?" He looked at Su Xiaoxiao in confusion. Why did he feel that something was different? After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, "Oh, you are here to investigate under disguise."
"Don't be so loud." Su Xiaoxiao signaled.
"I understand." The landlord nodded and lowered his voice.
Su Xiaoxiao asked him to get the list of tenants, especially those who rented the house one or two days before Luo Yunyun disappeared.
Sure enough, just as she thought, there was a tenant in that building who had rented it the day before Luo Yunyun came. The tenant was a woman who was very straightforward. After looking at the house, she didn't even bargain and directly paid the rent and took the key.
The room she rented was right next to Luo Yunyun's.
Oh my god, Su Xiaoxiao was a little depressed. She was really cunning. They had all seen this woman before and had asked her if she had heard any noise from next door or seen any suspicious people.
She thought of the woman she met that day, whose name was Wu Meiyun. She was about forty years old, wearing home clothes. She was a very elegant person, spoke softly, and did not look like she had anything to do with the kidnappers.
Wu Meiyu had seen Su Xiaoxiao before, so she couldn't go. Although she had disguised herself, it was just a simple make-up, so she might still be recognized if they were in close contact.
The kidnappers were too cunning and she had to be on guard.
Li Yan volunteered to go with the landlord and said that she wanted to rent a house of the same type and come to visit her room first.
"If the other party doesn't want to, don't force your way in, understand?" Su Xiaoxiao warned.
Li Yan made an OK gesture and followed the landlord out the door.
Su Xiaoxiao was waiting at the landlord's house.
She was very nervous and hoped that her guess was correct this time and that she could find Luo Yunyun smoothly.
Just when Su Xiaoxiao was waiting anxiously, Li Yan finally came back. In fact, only a dozen minutes had passed, but it felt like a long time had passed.
"How about it?"
When Li Yan and the landlord went there, in order not to arouse suspicion, they knocked on the door of another house first, went in to take a look, and chatted for a while. Li Yan expressed that he was not satisfied with that apartment type.
Then, he knocked on the door of that house.
After a while, someone came to open the door. Perhaps someone was observing them through the peephole and opened the door only after finding nothing suspicious.
When he heard that she wanted to see the house, the other party hesitated for a moment and then nodded and agreed. Li Yan didn't expect it to be so smooth.
The room was just a little messy, but overall it was clean, and there was nothing suspicious in the room. Li Yan once thought that Su Xiaoxiao had made a mistake.
But just then, she saw the curtains and the white wall.
Although there is a table against the wall now, the pattern of the chairs and curtains are exactly the same as in the video.
She couldn't be wrong.
