The landlord is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is not tall and has a bit bald head, but he is still pretty good.

Before coming, Ling Hang investigated the landlord. He was originally from a normal family, but later he became rich by demolition. He was assigned two houses and tens of millions of demolition fees.

The landlord did not squander, but instead paid the down payment of two houses, and then paid the mortgage in installments.

After getting the house, rent out the house and relies on earning rent to repay the loan, and can also support the family.

Later, he made some money one after another, and spent it all on buying a house, renting it out, collecting rent and repaying the loan.

There are more than ten properties under the name of S City. Now the family is well off, but they are quite frugal.

This man got married early, and his wife originally had a family stumbling, but later opened a beauty shop in the city center.

The two have a daughter who is just over 20 years old and are now in college.

...

The police initially suspected the landlord.

Han Rumei is single, living alone, and is a newcomer, so she can easily become the target of those extrajudicial madmen.

However, the landlord is indeed very well-known. He has several houses with the outer ring road under his name, but the rent has never increased. If the tenant encounters any problems, he will call him and help him quickly. His house has never had to worry about renting.

The landlord had previously obtained the "Helpfulness" banner given to him by the police.

Because the police had previously arrested a drug-related criminal gang, the other party wanted to grab a car in the street, but he was seriously injured when he drove.

later……

He should be considered the first person to report Han Rumei's disappearance case.

...

Ling Hang asked: "Didn't you feel anything abnormal after Han Rumei disappeared?"

The landlord sat on the sofa and sighed: "It was time to pay the rent for the fourth month, but I realized that she was missing. I called her for a week, but I was in a state of shutdown and sent her WeChat messages without replying, so I finally found the unlocker and pried the door."

"As soon as I looked at the room, I knew she must have not been back for a long time."

"I don't know what happened to her. Anyway, the vegetables in the refrigerator are all hairy and the garbage in the trash cans are smelly. I was quite angry at that time. After all, the good house and the appliances are all rented to her cleanly, but she made it like this, so whoever wouldn't be angry."

"But her luggage is gone. I thought she didn't want to renew the lease, or if she encountered something, she moved out without telling me..."

"Didn't you think about reporting the case?" Ling Hang felt strange.

"When encountering such a thing, I should consider calling the police?"

The landlord pursed his lips, his expression was a little heavy, and he slowly said, "I didn't think so much at that time. Because the house was messy, I hated that girl a little. After changing the door lock, I spent money to find a cleaning staff to clean the house again. Because my mother-in-law was hospitalized for a lot of money during that period, I thought about renting out the house quickly and continuing to earn rent and repaying the loan."

"Afterwards, I thought something was wrong, but the house had been cleaned up and the new tenant had moved in. My wife reminded me whether to go to the police station to ask, and I went there."

"At that time, it seemed that an old policeman named Zhang was answered by the police. I told him the situation. He said that he might have moved away, but he was willing to help me find Han Rumei to determine if something happened to this girl. Because the police were willing to take charge of this matter, I felt relieved and quickly left it behind."

"Who knew that after two or three months, the policeman called me and said that someone had reported the case that Han Rumei was missing."

"It seems to be her parents. At that time, the police brought them to me, so I took them to the house and took them to take a look, but there was no personal belongings left. There was only a set of clothes hanging on the balcony. I put them in a bag and put them in the warehouse before, and then handed them over to them."

The landlord sat on the sofa with a little guilty look: "I...I really didn't expect that the girl was really killed."

"That community security is quite responsible..."

After he learned from the police that Han Rumei had no one to see her and no body to die, he felt regretful.

You shouldn't be so impulsive at that time, at least try to keep the house as much as possible to see if the police can extract any evidence.

But it's all too late.

Just because of this, he has been uneasy for several years. The house is still in the city center, so he has never raised the rent.

Ling Hang didn't say anything else.

Put yourself in your shoes, most of them are ordinary people and may never encounter such a murder in their entire lives.

Most of the luggage was packed and the house was messed up. Who wouldn't be angry?

It is impossible to think about the worst thing immediately on the spot.

This man has done everything he can do.

...

There are few clues about the case of Han Rumei.

Because it was already a little late to find that she was missing, the community surveillance was covered once a month, and there was no useful surveillance.

All traces in the house were also cleaned by the landlord, and it was even more unknown whether she was attacked at home or elsewhere.

The police can only find clues from the place where the corpse is buried.

In the wilderness, the body was hidden for several years before it was discovered, and no trace of others was found.

After Ling Hang's visit and investigation, he went straight back to the police station, wanting to see if the forensic doctor could find any clues.

After the forensic doctor came out with the corpse identification report, he looked at Ling Hang, who was distracted in a chair, and handed him the report directly, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Look, there should be the clues you want inside."

Ling Hang put down his cup and immediately opened the report and read it.

The forensic doctor leaned on the table and said slowly: "The evidence you can get from the investigation now is very limited. Now you can only see what evidence is left on the body."

Ling Hang looked at the identification results and unexpectedly said: "The cause of death... tends to be mechanical asphyxiation?"

The forensic doctor nodded slightly and said, "Although the corpse is ossified, it is buried deep, so it is preserved relatively intact. The hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage of the corpse are severely fractured, and even the cervical spine is damaged."

The forensic doctor gave him an example, raised his hand and pressed the position of the back of his neck with his fingers: "It is very likely that... the deceased struggled violently, and was pushed against the back of his neck with his knee and strangled to death with a rope."

"The murderer is very strong." The forensic doctor pointed to the data in the report. "Han Rumei is at least 1.7 meters tall and is a relatively well-proportioned woman. Although she looks weak, her parents said that she would run in the morning every morning and practiced Sanda for a while when she was a child, so she is definitely not the kind of woman who is completely powerless."

"There is a great possibility that the murderer is a male."

Ling Hang: "Can information such as fingerprints not be extracted, such as DNA of the non-dead person?"

"No."

The forensic doctor shook his head and looked at his computer screen: "Do you think Xiao Silun is more likely to be the murderer?"

Ling Hang nodded: "I have read the case file of Han Rumei's disappearance before. After her parents reported the case, the police came to Xiao Silun many times, but Xiao Silun has always denied that he had never been to S City, so he would not admit that he was related to Han Rumei's disappearance case."

Forensic doctor: "How did Xiao Silun and Han Rumei meet?"

Ling Hang leaned on the chair and sighed: "Xiao Silun met her through a high school classmate of Han Rumei."

"That man is called Lianvich."

Forensic: "Have you ever contacted this person?"

Ling Hang shook his head: "This person has settled in S City now, but he has been on a business trip recently."

"Xiao Silun also moved to Sand City."

"I called Lian Weiqi in the morning and he said that after Han Rumei disappeared, he had no contact with Xiao Silun again."

"Why?" asked the forensic doctor.

Ling Hang pondered for a few seconds, with a little deepness and sarcasm between his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "He also suspected that Xiao Silun killed Han Rumei."

"Are you surprised? I just checked Lian Weiqi's workplace. He was a creative director in a private enterprise. The boss of that private enterprise is now Xiao Silun's brother-in-law. In the past three or four years, he has been promoted very quickly. From ordinary marketing, he quickly became the sales team leader, and then transferred to the marketing department, and soon jumped to the creative director."

The key is that it is not a small company.

Many people cannot move once in their original positions for two or three years.

Employees who were at the same time as Lian Weich also privately complained that this person has poor business capabilities.

In a private enterprise that big is so big, can you climb so fast by just flattering?

"Han Rumei's body was dug out of the woods yesterday morning. The case has not been announced yet. Yesterday at noon, he left S City by high-speed rail. The business trip location... It happened to be Shacheng."
