Chapter 188 My Youth Is a Bit Difficult 50

This is a man.

Tao Ran didn't recognize him. In Chen Yi's memory, he couldn't remember who this was.

But...it looks familiar.

Very familiar.

The man held his bag to his chest, with a proud look on his face, whistling, and swayed out of the teahouse.

There is a high probability that there is money in that heavy handbag, right?

The back of his right hand on his chest...

There is a round purple mark on it.

How could Tao Ran not recognize that location and mark?

That day, she struggled with her right hand to poke the umbrella head into the motorcyclist's hand. It was in that position and the size matched the shape of the umbrella head. With that poke, bruises are inevitable, and these days should be the time to loosen the bruises, so the bruises are also right...

Is this man the one who tried to attack me that day? So what he was holding in his hand was Ma Xiuzhu’s murder money?

Looking at his frivolous behavior, he really doesn't look like a good person!

Sure enough, that matter has nothing to do with Ma Xiuzhu!

The man did not take a taxi to leave. He only walked to the intersection and entered a small hotel...

Judging from his familiar appearance, he must have stayed in this hotel.

From out of town?

Tao Ran scratched his head.

If Ma Xiuzhu wants to hire a murderer, there's no need to find someone from other places, right? Does she know anyone who does this kind of thing in other places?

But the police didn't find any record of her recent contact with strangers. It would have been very conspicuous to outsiders. How could the police not find out?

No, Ma Xiuzhu has been very angry with her children recently. Could it be that Zhou Qingqing caused the trouble and Ma Xiuzhu came to help wipe the mess?

When he thought of Zhou Qingqing, Tao Ran's mind suddenly brightened.

Oh my god!

She knows!

No wonder I always thought this man looked familiar, he looked very similar to Zhou Qingqing!

Daughter Xiao’s father, isn’t this Zhou Qingqing’s father?

As soon as this speculation came out, it was out of control.

Zhou Qingqing's father is a bastard. He was a scumbag with a very bad reputation in the local area many years ago. He was addicted to gambling and drinking. He stole money and abandoned his wife and daughter. There has been no news for many years...

Could it be that Zhou Qingqing contacted him this time?

The more Tao Ran thought about it, the more he felt it was.

Driving on the street and injuring people is a stupid idea and can easily be implicated. As the number one suspect, Ma Xiuzhu will not risk using such a method or being booked by the police. Such a violent method is different from the previous one. Zhou Qingqing colluded with Wang Shu and used the same method to instigate Wang's father.

Could it be that school would start in a few days, so Zhou Qingqing decided to keep doing nothing until she was done with herself, so she secretly contacted her biological father? The other side killed it first and then reported it, so even Ma Xiuzhu was caught off guard. So is this the reason why Ma Xiuzhu was so angry, but had no choice but to help clean up the aftermath?

Tao Ran felt anxious and hurried to follow...

As soon as the man entered the hotel, he was stopped by the front desk.

The man smiled playfully and teased the front desk clerk, asking if he hadn't seen him for a long time, as if he missed him after three autumns?

The girl at the front desk looked disgusted, but she could only keep her expression straight and asked him if he had to pay the rent for the next few days.

"You haven't paid for room 405 for three days. And it's already four o'clock in the afternoon. If you check out now, today will be counted as half a day's room charge."

Tao Ran, who had just followed him to the lobby, had a thought in his mind, room in 405? It took no effort at all. She had originally thought about how to get more specific information about the man. If she knew the room number, it would be much easier.

Tao Ran calmly sat down in the corner of the hall, pretending to be waiting for someone.

"Pay, just smile at the young lady's unforgettable smile. You have to pay this money quickly!" The man opened the handbag he had been holding on his chest, took out a wad of money, clicked a few and went to the front desk. in hand. When handing over the money, he didn't forget to rub the girl's hand.

"Miss, would you like to go to my room for a cup of tea?" The man also shook off the money in his hand...

While Tao Ran cursed in secret, he also confirmed that Ma Xiuzhu had indeed put a lot of money in the bag.

The man got on the elevator, and Tao Ran raised his head and thought for a while.

What she wanted to confirm was just her guess about this person's relationship with Ma Xiuzhu and Zhou Qingqing. So, you don’t actually need to go to the front desk to peek at the check-in information, right?

She had to try her best to do this without alerting others.

There is a way.

She quickly opened the takeout app on her phone and searched for nearby delicacies.

Twenty minutes later, a takeaway was placed at the front desk.

It is a "smelling" stinky tofu.

"Don't leave it here, call the person who ordered the food to come down and pick it up!" The lady at the front desk held her nose unhappily and stopped the delivery boy. This smell is a bit too much at the front desk.

The little brother was helpless: "There is no phone number on the takeout order. There is only the address."

The young lady at the front desk took a look and it was true. There is only a hotel address, but no name and phone number. But the room number is: 405.

When she thought of the man who behaved obscenely, the young lady snorted, her face darkened, and she even suspected that the man did it on purpose.

She dialed the landline angrily: "Mr. Zhou, did you order takeout? Please come to the front desk to pick it up! The smell is too pungent! No? Then I will throw it away? Okay. Maybe it's a mistake, okay. ,Excuse me……"

Tao Ran, on the other hand, had already gotten up.

Mr. Zhou?

Mr. Zhou!

Sure enough, his surname is Zhou!

The same surname as Zhou Qingqing!

Right! No wonder Ma Xiuzhu could completely ignore the pretense in front of this man and show her true nature by swearing. Because it’s an old friend!

hehe!

After walking out of the hotel, Tao Ran called the delivery man and told him that the address was wrong and asked him to pick up the food. Naturally, she would not leave any clues or let the delivery boy run away in vain. She sent him a red envelope and told him that he did not want this takeaway...

Although she didn't catch any real clues on this trip, not even a photo of Zhang Ma Xiuzhu and a man in the same frame, it wasn't a loss. She at least knew that Ma Xiuzhu still had contact with her ex-husband, had financial dealings, and could even see her whenever she wanted.

So Ma Xiuzhu still lied to Chen Jian!

Looking at it this way, what happened back then was less like the man running away with money, and more like Ma Xiuzhu and her ex-husband cooperating for a win-win future.

Chen Jian, that idiot, was indeed given a good job.

Thinking of not being disrespectful, Tao Ran passed by a public phone on his way home from fitness that night, and a report phone was called, indicating that a guest in Room 405 of a hotel had stolen a bag of money from a lady in sunglasses at XX Teahouse. She saw injustice on the road and was afraid of retaliation, so she reported it anonymously...

That package of money is worth two hundred thousand anyway.

The man named Zhou is a gangster and has no stable financial income. He certainly cannot clearly explain the source of the money. Then the police will definitely be suspicious. Regardless of whether the man involved the money from Ma Xiuzhu, as soon as the police checked the teahouse surveillance, they would definitely ask Ma Xiuzhu to cooperate with the investigation.

Then the matter of Ma Xiuzhu's involvement with that man would inevitably come to light, and naturally it would not be hidden from Chen Jian.

If the money that Ma Xiuzhu inexplicably gave to the gangster's ex-husband is traced, it might be a breakthrough in Chen Yi's attack a few days ago. Is it considered an accident?
