Li Rui nodded and praised, "Well said, I'm convinced. Alright, let's go."
The two of them first walked out of the elevator lobby and came to a window outside the lobby. Using the scenery outside the window, they confirmed the four directions of east, west, north, and south. Then, they walked around door by door and formed a basic floor distribution map in their minds.
The tower where Zhang Yimiu's house was located had six units per elevator. The north-south elevator lobby was the dividing line. There were three units on the east and west sides, so there were a total of six units. Zhang Yimiu's house was located in the south-east corner, so it faced the south-east direction. Therefore, there were two units closest to her house. One was located in the south-west corner, and the other was located in the middle of the east side of the elevator lobby. Wang Kai and Li Rui planned to investigate these two units first. If they couldn't find the suspect in these two units, then they would investigate the two units above and below Zhang Yimiu's house. These four units were the closest neighbors to Zhang Yimiu's house.
The two first went to the unit located in the middle of the east side of the elevator lobby. Wang Kai took out his handgun and pressed the doorbell. He whispered to Li Rui, "It's really inappropriate to disturb people in the middle of the night." Li Rui sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. It's best if this is the bad guy's house, so we don't disturb good people."
The doorbell rang three times before an old man's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
Wang Kai said loudly, "Police, please open the door. We need to understand the situation." He pointed the handgun at the peephole.
The door opened quickly, and an old man in his sixties wearing a singlet and shorts appeared. He looked at Wang Kai and Li Rui. He frowned, "Police? Understand the situation? You need to understand the situation in the middle of the night? "
Wang Kai smiled, "Sorry for disturbing your rest, but we have no choice. This case is urgent, and we received a mission to complete the investigation within the time limit. It's like this, a lady in the neighborhood was molested by a man last night. That lady went to the police station this morning to report the case, and the leader sent us to investigate. Each unit will investigate one building, and this is my colleague. "
The old man nodded and asked, "What do you want to understand?"
Wang Kai said, "May I ask if there are any single men in your family who are unmarried, married, and divorced?"
The old man said, "No, I only have one son. He has been married for many years, and he doesn't live in this neighborhood."
Upon hearing this, Li Rui sighed inwardly. A look of disappointment appeared on his face. He just wanted to turn around and leave.
Wang Kai, on the other hand, was very attentive. He asked, "Then, do you have any nephews or male relatives living with you?"
The old man shook his head and said, "No, my family only has me and my wife …"
Wang Kai nodded and said, "Okay, thank you. I'm done. Sorry to disturb you. I won't delay your rest. Goodbye, thank you for your cooperation."
The old man said some polite words and closed the door.
When Wang Kai saw Li Rui's disappointed expression, he smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. There are still a few families that haven't been investigated yet. Don't worry, even if I have to investigate all eighteen families on this third floor tonight, I will find that kid. "Li Rui smiled and said," Then, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Wang. Find that kid, and I'll definitely thank you. " Wang Kai said, "Sigh, we're all old friends. You don't have to be so polite. Haha, let's go to the next house."
The two of them walked to the house opposite Zhang Yijin's house. When they reached the door, Wang Kai pressed the doorbell as usual.
Disappointingly, there was no response from the other side. Wang Kai pressed the doorbell again. He pressed it a total of four times, but there was still no response, let alone opening the door.
Li Rui said, "Is there no one at home?"
Wang Kai smiled at him with an unfathomable expression and pointed to the peephole.
Li Rui looked in the direction of his finger, but he didn't see anything special. He whispered, "What's wrong?" Wang Kai whispered, "There was a light in the peephole just now, but it's dark now. This means that there's someone in there, and that person turned off the lights to pretend that there's no one there." Li Rui didn't expect Wang Kai to be so observant. He even caught the change in the peephole's light. He was very impressed, but he said, "How do you know that there's a light in there?" Wang Kai said, "Because there was a faint white light in the peephole just now. This means that there's a light source inside, but that light has disappeared.
Li Rui looked at him with admiration. He thought that a detective was indeed a detective. He had unique skills. He always thought that he was smart, but compared to Wang Kai, he was still far behind.
Wang Kai had a strange smile on his face. He whispered, "If I'm not wrong, the kid we're going to catch tonight is in this house." Li Rui understood what he meant. He whispered, "Yes, there's someone inside. He heard the doorbell but didn't open the door. Instead, he turned off the lights and pretended that there's no one there. This means that he's guilty." Wang Kai nodded. "If the camera was always working, then he might have seen you through the terminal. That's why he didn't dare to open the door when he saw you through the peephole. If it was just me, a stranger, ringing the doorbell, he might have already opened the door. "
This analysis made sense. Li Ruixin agreed. He was also excited. Did this mean that they had found the scumbag? It seemed that God was still protecting good people. But now that the other party refused to open the door, how was he going to enter?
Wang Kai raised his hand and knocked on the door. He said loudly, "Police, open the door. We need to understand the situation. Please open the door!" He waved his hand in front of the peephole.
There was still no response.
Wang Kai whispered, "I can feel that he's standing inside." Li Rui frowned and said, "What if he doesn't open the door?"
Wang Kai smiled and said loudly, "Open the door. I know there's someone inside. It's useless even if you turn off the lights. If you open the door, we'll let you go easily. But if you're stubborn, then I'm sorry. Once we open the door, you'll be arrested. "He continued to knock on the door.
Li Rui also kicked the door. He deliberately created an anxious atmosphere to increase the psychological pressure.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Wang Kai reacted quickly. He pulled Li Rui and both of them took two steps back.
A young man with messy hair, unshaven beard, and a thin body appeared. He was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. He had dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he often stayed up late. He was only wearing a pair of large black pants. He looked a little wretched. He looked at Wang Kai and said nervously, "Ah … I just woke up and heard you knocking on the door. Are you the police?"
Wang Kai looked into the room and waved his gun in front of him, "Yes, Police. How many people are in your family? "
The man said, "Just me."
Wang Kai asked, "You bought this house yourself?"
The man said, "No, it's the house that was given to us during the demolition. Our family was given five houses, and my parents gave this one to me."
Wang Kai asked again, "What's your name? What do you do?"
The man said, "My name is … Gan Mingrui. I … I don't do anything."
Wang Kai asked curiously, "You don't work?"
Gan Mingrui said, "I don't work."
Wang Kai asked, "Then where do you get your income? Are you living off your parents? "
Gan Mingrui said, "No, my family has two houses for rent. I can't afford the rent."
Wang Kai looked at Li Rui. Li Rui suddenly thought of something and asked, "Gan Mingrui, you just said that your family was demolished and was given five houses. Two of them were for rent. You lived in one, and your parents definitely lived in another. What about the other one?"
Gan Mingrui looked at him and quickly looked away. He said slowly, "The other one … that one … sold … sold."
Li Rui suddenly became very impulsive and shouted, "The one that was sold, was it the one opposite yours?"
Gan Mingrui was a little flustered. "I … I don't know."
Li Rui grabbed him by the collar and said angrily, "You don't know? You don't know that your family got a house? "
Gan Mingrui looked at him in horror and said, "I don't know. The one who sold the house was my dad."
Li Rui sneered and said, "Stop pretending! The house your family is selling is the one across from yours. " After saying that, he explained to Wang Kai, "At first, I thought that my friend bought a prefabricated house. It just occurred to me that she might have bought a second-hand house from this kid's parents. Of course, it's not really a second-hand house. It's a house that no one has lived in before. After my friend bought the house, she might not have changed the door lock. That's why this kid had the key to the house and could enter so easily. "
Before Wang Kai could say anything, Gan Mingrui shouted, "No, no, I don't know what you're talking about. It has nothing to do with me …"
Li Rui said fiercely, "Why didn't you dare to look at me just now? Because you already knew me from the camera you installed. When you saw me coming, you were scared to death. That's why you didn't dare to look at me. "
Gan Mingrui shouted in panic, "No, I didn't install any camera. You're accusing me …"
Li Rui said, "You don't want to admit it? Fine, then I'll go take a look at your house. Don't let me find any evidence. Otherwise, you're dead. "After saying that, he pushed him into the house.
Wang Kai followed closely behind and closed the door after entering the house.
After entering the house, Li Rui found that the lights in the living room and the entrance were all off. The other rooms were also dark. Only a bedroom with a half-opened door shone in. It was probably Gan Mingrui's room. He grabbed him and walked over.
