Chapter 236 Find the Clue

In a jewelry store, a female saleswoman looked at the young man in front of the counter, holding a string of small-leaf red sandalwood bracelets and smelling them. This young man had already let her take thuja bracelets, gold silk Nan bracelets, huanghuali bracelets, and even imitation red sandalwood blood sandalwood and rhinoceros horn red sandalwood. She showed him almost all kinds of bracelets. But he just heard it and didn't even say a word.

This eccentric young man is none other than Ning Tao, and this is already the fifth store he has sniffed.

"Sir, if you like to smell it, you can buy it back and smell it, you can smell it any way you want." The saleswoman said, if it wasn't for Ning Tao's handsome appearance and eye-catching look, she would have given up serving her a long time ago.

"It's not this kind of taste..." Ning Tao had a disappointed expression on his face.

"What doesn't it taste like?" the saleswoman asked.

Only then did Ning Tao put away his thoughts, and he handed the red sandalwood bracelet to the saleswoman, and smiled, "It's nothing, thank you."

"What kind of bracelet do you want to buy?"

Ning Tao thought for a while, and tentatively asked: "By the way, is there a ring made of wood?"

The saleswoman said: "Who would wear a wooden ring? We have never sold wooden rings here, unless they are made by ourselves, and ordinary wood is definitely not acceptable. You have to turn wood into jade."

"Muhuayu?" Ning Tao heard this name for the first time, and he asked curiously, "What is Muhuayu?"

The saleswoman said: "Muhuayu is a prehistoric tree that was buried in the ground. After a long period of time, it has evolved into a jadeized silicified wood. It is hard and looks similar to jade. This kind of thing is only produced in Myanmar."

Ning Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little anxious, "Where can I buy this kind of wood jade?"

The saleswoman looked at Ning Tao with strange eyes, "Are you sure you didn't smell it?"

Ning Tao grinned, "I like the smell of wood better, so I have to smell it when I buy beads. Do you have wood jade here? If so, please show it to me. I will definitely buy it from you."

"It's heavy, and it's in the warehouse. Come with me, and I'll take you to have a look." The saleswoman said.

"Okay, thank you." Ning Tao followed the saleswoman through a narrow corridor in the store and came to the warehouse.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Ning Tao awakened the state of his nose, and a lot of wood and jade smells poured into his nostrils.

The saleswoman walked to a corner in the warehouse and said, "Don't touch things, or our boss will scold me."

"Please don't worry, I won't touch things randomly." Ning Tao said, at this moment a smell that seemed to have been smelled before suddenly poured into his nasal cavity.

That's it, he had smelled this smell on Zhou Ying's corpse!

The saleswoman walked to the corner and lifted a piece of black cloth, revealing a piece of red wooden jade. It looks like the trunk of a tree, with a diameter of tens of centimeters and a length of more than one meter, and it weighs at least a hundred catties by visual inspection. Its color is very bright, green and red, and white. The main color is emerald, and if you just look at the emerald area, it looks a bit like emerald.

In fact, as soon as the black cloth was removed and more odor molecules poured into Ning Tao's nostrils, he was sure that the woody smell he caught on Zhou Ying's body was the smell of woody jade. The murderer had a ring made of wooden jade on his finger.

"That's it." The saleswoman stopped beside Mu Huayu.

Ning Tao said: "Is this kind of thing only produced in Myanmar?"

There was a smile on the corner of the saleswoman's mouth, "It's only made in Myanmar. Do you smell it or buy it?"

Ning Tao, "..."

When he left the jewelry store, Ning Tao fulfilled his promise and bought a bunch of blood sandalwood bracelets worth 100 yuan, which he estimated to be worth 20 to 30 yuan. But as far as his gain is concerned, this effort is insignificant.

After leaving the jewelry store, Ning Tao called Bai Jing, "Sister Bai, how are you doing?"

Bai Jing's voice came from the mobile phone, "I went to three drone clubs and a drone performance company, but they all said that there is no civilian drone that can carry a person into the sky. The unmanned package delivery There is a machine, but it can only transport a few kilograms of goods."

Ning Tao was silent for a while before saying: "Then the possibility that the murderer used a drone to dump the body can be ruled out. You and Qing Zhui go back first, and I will come back later."

Qing Zhui's voice came from the phone again, "Brother Ning, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you when I get home."

Ning Tao's heart was warm, but he said: "Don't bother, your place doesn't even have a stove."

"Isn't it all right if I prop up the pot with stones?" Qing Zhui's voice was soft and sweet.

"Then make some porridge." Ning Tao said, she wanted to cook for him, and he would be a little ungrateful if he said to eat outside.

"Well, then I'll go home and cook now." Qing Zhui's voice was full of joy and happiness.

Bai Jing's voice came from the phone, "Silly girl who is worthless, if you spoil him so much, you will spoil him..."

Ning Tao smiled wryly, hung up the phone, and then rode back on the Tiandao tram. He originally wanted to go back to the "little mistress", but he changed his mind halfway through the ride and came to Shancheng Medical University.

After all, he couldn't let go of Zhou Ying's death, and that young and beautiful face always appeared in his mind. If justice is not given to her, what face does he, a middleman between good and evil, have to walk in the world?

When he passed the school gate, Ning Tao slowed down and drove towards the alley, where a garbage truck was parked. A middle-aged man stood at the entrance of the alley and looked into the alley. He probably wanted to go in to dispose of the garbage, but there was still a police tape at the entrance of the alley, prohibiting entry.

Ning Tao stopped next to the garbage truck, set up the frame and came to the middle-aged man's side, and subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man's hand. The middle-aged man has no rings on his hands, and his palms are rough.

The middle-aged man glanced at Ning Tao and said, "Brother, why is this place blocked?"

Ning Tao said: "A corpse was found here, and the police sealed it off."

"Oh, so that's the case. It seems that I won't be able to clean up the garbage here today." The middle-aged man said something to himself, then turned and walked towards the garbage truck parked by the roadside.

Ning Tao looked at the orange overalls on him, and suddenly thought of something, "Brother, please wait a moment."

The middle-aged man stopped and glanced at Ning Tao, "What are you doing?"

Ning Tao came to the middle-aged man, "I went to the city to work, so is there any shortage of people there?"

"Need, our company has been recruiting sanitation workers and garbage truck drivers for many years, but you are so young, can you bear the hardship?" The middle-aged man looked at Ning Tao with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Ning Tao said: "I came from the mountains. I have strength and can endure hardships and stand hard work."

The middle-aged man said: "I see that you have delicate skin and tender flesh. What strength do you have? Sanitation work is very hard."

Ning Tao sighed, "Brother, just do me a favor. I came out this time because my mother-in-law thinks I'm worthless, so I gossip in front of my daughter-in-law every day. I just come out to work to find money, out of sight and out of mind." He revealed With a sad face, "If I can't find a job, my snobby mother-in-law won't ask my wife to divorce me. Brother, if you do me this favor, I'll buy you a drink later."

The mood of the middle-aged man suddenly changed, "Damn it, my mother-in-law is also a snobbish person, she will tell my wife every time we meet, look at how much nutrition the son-in-law next door bought back, and who else's son-in-law got promoted!" Salary increase, the whole family will travel to Thailand, I get angry when I hear that.”

Ning Tao sighed again, "Brother, it seems that we are related by the same disease."

The middle-aged man reached out and patted Ning Tao on the shoulder, "Brother, my name is Shi Run, please write down your mobile phone number, come to my company tomorrow and call me, and I will take you to an interview. With a word from me, you can go to work. "

Shi Run's body was full of garbage smell.

Ning Tao wrote down Shi Run's mobile phone number, asked for the company's address, chatted a few words, and asked, "Brother, how many times do you take a car a day?"

Shi Run said: "Usually twice a day, once in the evening, once in the morning at four or five in the morning, and overtime during holidays. In our line of work, we wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs. We earn hard money. What, are you retreating?"

Ning Tao said: "No, I will definitely come tomorrow." After a pause, he asked again, "By the way, Brother Shi, who was here to dispose of the garbage last night?"

"I'm not sure about this. There are several people driving this line. I have to go back and ask. Why are you asking this?" Shi Run looked at Ning Tao with curious eyes.

Ning Tao said: "I just asked casually to find out the situation of the line. In the future, I may not necessarily have to drive a garbage truck."

"Do you have a driver's license?"

Ning Tao shook his head, "No, but I will learn, and I will definitely get a driver's license."

Shi Run smiled, "Let's talk about it after you get your driver's license, that's fine, I have to drive."

Ning Tao said: "Brother Shi, I will come to you tomorrow."

"Okay, call me tomorrow." Shi Run got into the car and drove away.

Ning Tao looked at the garbage truck going away quickly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This Shi Run is not the murderer, but he already knows how to find the murderer.

Ning Tao returned to the side of the Tiandao electric car, and when he was about to get on the car, two classmates walked over with an old aunt supporting him.

"Auntie, I don't think you should go, that place is dirty." A female classmate said.

"No, no...I'm going to take a look..." The old aunt walked tremblingly, muttering as she walked, "Daughter, mother is here, mother is here..."

Ning Tao had already guessed the identity of this old aunt. Looking at the old aunt with gray temples and stooped body, his heart ached as if he had been pricked by a needle.

The three walked by, but none of them looked at Ning Tao.

The male classmate who supported the old aunt said: "Auntie, you are mourning, you cannot be resurrected after death, you have to take care of your body, classmate Zhou Ying doesn't want to see you like this."

But the old aunt didn't seem to hear his voice, she still muttered, "Daughter, mother is here, mother is here..."

The most painful thing in the world is to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. What comforting words in this world can make the old aunt come out of the grief of losing her daughter?

Ning Tao was also helpless.

However, he can give her justice.
