"I don't know …" A bearded man said. "Although it's next door, we don't have much contact with each other. I only know that the woman lives alone and is quite quiet. I haven't heard any loud noises from her side. "
…
"The woman whose eyes were taken out? It's so sad … "A woman who was having her hair permed said." She looks quite ordinary, so I don't really pay attention to her. I just never saw her come back with anyone. She's usually alone … "
…
"You are so annoying," a gray-haired old man said. "You've asked me many times! I really don't know her … "
…
"I know. She works in a bank …" A young man said. "I've seen her in Jinjiang Bank. She dresses decently and eats well, but she doesn't talk much …"
…
In this way, Zhao Yu and Ding Lan visited more than a dozen homes, all of which had similar answers.
"Alas!" Ding Lan sighed. "I thought that detectives like you would have a much easier time than agents like us! Now it seems that I was wrong … "
"Maybe …" Zhao Yu said. "The clue to solving the case lies in the casual conversation of these people. Let's go! Let's go to Li Yiyan's house and have a look! "
Li Yiyan lived in a high-end apartment, which was 10 kilometers away from her workplace.
Unlike most of the residents who rented apartments here, Li Yiyan's apartment was bought with her own money.
After all, this was Seoul. Although the area of the apartment was small, it was very expensive. In fact, it could buy a big villa in the countryside.
"I've been here once before," Zhao Yu said. "I didn't find any man's belongings in Li Yiyan's house. So, after her divorce, she always lived alone.
"Her financial situation is also clear at a glance. After she divorced her ex-husband, she obtained a considerable amount of property. Coupled with the convenience of her job, she took out a loan to buy this condominium!"
"I think …" Ding Lan said. "Li Yiyan died of Black Pupil, so it should have nothing to do with her financial status or marital status, right?
"Don't tell me … you still want to investigate her ex-husband?"
"Yes," Zhao Yu said. "He's doing business in our country! He's remarried … "
"You're really something …"
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at Li Yiyan's residence. Since Li Yiyan had passed away a month ago, there were no police officers around.
The two pressed the doorbell, but no one opened the door. This meant that Li Yiyan's family did not live here.
Therefore, the two of them contacted the manager of the apartment, hoping that the manager could open the door and let them in to take a look.
The caretaker was a big fat man. After he ran up to them, he immediately told them that he had no way of opening the door.
Because this house was different from other tenants, the management office did not have a spare key. If they wanted to enter, they could only contact Li Yiyan's family.
Li Yiyan's parents were still alive, and she had many brothers and sisters. She didn't have any children, so this apartment would probably lead to inheritance problems.
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked the administrator, "Do you have their contact information?"
"I have only one, but no one answers the phone," said the administrator. "I have something to talk to them about. Li Yiyan's car is still parked in the parking lot. The parking spaces are all rented, so she needs to pay parking fees! "
"Huh?" Her words caught Zhao Yu's attention. "What did you say? Do you mean that Li Yiyan has a car? "
"Yes!" said the fat administrator. "It's a white Hyundai, and the car is brand new! It seems to have been bought for more than half a year, right? "
"She has a car …" Zhao Yu murmured. "Since she has a car, why does the investigation record show that she walked home that night?"
"Really? Oh … "The fat administrator said." She doesn't usually drive. She only drives when she goes back to her hometown to visit her parents during the holidays. "
"The parking lot is underground," Ding Lan asked. "How do you know that she doesn't drive?"
"Of course," the fat administrator replied. "I was on duty in the apartment lobby, and I saw Li Yiyan come in from the main entrance almost every day!
If she drove in, then she didn't need to go through the lobby. She could have taken the elevator to go upstairs! "
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu recalled. "There is a staff parking lot in the bank on Jinjiang Road, which is 10 kilometers away from the apartment. Obviously, driving is the most convenient way to get there!
"Moreover, Li Yiyan often works overtime," Zhao Yu said. "At that time, there was no traffic jam. Obviously, driving was the best way to get home.
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have bought a car, right?"
"That's not a big deal …" Ding Lan said. "Maybe she doesn't like driving."
"Really?" Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then said to the administrator, "Now take me to Li Yiyan's car!"
The administrator nodded immediately, then took Zhao Yu and Ding Lan to the elevator and headed to the parking lot.
On the way, Zhao Yu searched through his mobile app. If Li Yiyan didn't drive home from work, then she could only take a taxi, subway, or bus.
There was no direct bus, and there were no buses after eight o 'clock in the evening.
Taking a taxi would cost a lot of money, and Zhao Yu estimated that Li Yiyan couldn't afford it.
If she took the subway, she would need to walk more than 800 meters to get to the subway station. After getting out of the subway, she would still need to walk more than 400 meters to get to the apartment.
Strange …
Zhao Yu wondered why Li Yiyan walked every day if she bought a car.
Was it for exercise?
But, if she wanted to exercise, why did she buy a car?
Could it be … that there was a problem here?
Soon, the elevator descended to the parking lot. The caretaker led them to a white Hyundai.
Huh?
Zhao Yu reached out and found that the car was covered with a thin and uniform layer of dust. It seemed that the car hadn't been driven for a long time.
Ding Lan said in Chinese, "The deceased had a car! Why didn't they check it? "
Hearing Ding Lan's words, the fat administrator was a little surprised.
"This case is different from ordinary cases," Zhao Yu said. "The video on the night of Li Yiyan's accident clearly shows that she left the unit on foot.
Even if we found her, we might not be able to find her car. "
"Even if we found her, I'm afraid it would be useless." Ding Lan was puzzled. "This car hasn't been moved for a long time. Obviously, it has nothing to do with the case!"
"No!" Zhao Yu shook his head. "Although the car hasn't been moved, it might have something to do with the case! As I said before, the truth is often hidden in inconspicuous clues! "
Zhao Yu said, "Li Yiyan had a car, but she didn't drive. She would rather walk every day. Maybe there is a reason! And this reason … "Zhao Yu's eyes lit up." It may be the key to solving the case! "
"You … You …" As Zhao Yu spoke in Chinese, the fat administrator couldn't help but ask, "Which country are you detectives from?"
