The taxi driver is in his 40s and looks honest. He has never dealt with the police. As soon as he heard that he may have carried a murderer, he immediately panicked, and his clothes have been soaked with sweat.
When Su Rui saw him, the honest driver was shivering in his seat. From entering the interrogation room until now, his hands have not stopped shaking.
"Don't be nervous, just have a chat." Su Rui poured a glass of water for the driver with a smile.
The latter still couldn't relax and was stiff all over.
"I heard you're nervous? But you're just cooperating with the investigation. As long as you say what you know, you can leave." Su Rui said with a smile.
He wanted to make the man opposite relax with his expression, but now it seemed a little difficult.
"I... I'm really not with her..." the driver was still waving his hand.
"I know you're not with her, and you don't have to be too nervous." Su Rui said with a smile; "But you have to know that this matter involves a wide range of aspects. You must remember all the details."
"Moreover, as long as you cooperate well, we will have bonuses after the case is solved."
Su Rui said.
This series of words made the driver's mood gradually stabilize. He drank a few salivas. Then he recalled and said, "the woman I pulled last night is not tall, wearing a mask, but her hair is yellow."
"Well, please go on."
Su Rui has seen these characteristics from the monitoring.
"Did she talk to you after she got on the bus?" Su Rui asked.
"She didn't talk much, just said the destination, and then almost didn't speak all the way."
"Hardly spoke? Didn't you chat with her?"
"No, I'm not very good at talking, so I didn't say anything along the way." The driver scratched his head.
"Did she call?" Su Rui added another sentence.
"No, I didn't call, but she seemed to... She seemed to send a voice." The driver said.
Su Rui's eyes suddenly lit up: "what does the voice say?"
"She said she had finished it and would go home the day after tomorrow." The driver thought for a long time, and finally suppressed such a sentence!
"Go home the day after tomorrow. Yesterday's day after tomorrow is now tomorrow..." Su Rui asked again, "is there nothing else?"
"And..." the driver recalled, "I don't know what the phone said, as if to urge her to leave quickly, but later the woman said she had something to deal with."
"Anything else?"
"No, not at all." The driver nodded, "I'm sure."
"Well, the last question, where is the other party's destination?" Su Rui squinted and asked.
"Tiandu homeland." Hearing that it was the last question, the driver looked relieved.
He has to carry dozens of passengers a day. Fortunately, Su Rui found it early. I'm afraid if it's another two days, the driver's memory will be confused.
"Tiandu homeland." After hearing this, Su Rui pondered for a moment, and then said, "OK, you go with us now."
"Doesn't it mean that I have nothing to do?" The driver asked.
"Just help us identify the location." Su Rui said with a smile, "as for your losses today, we will compensate you in full."
The driver waved his hand again and again: "don't compensate, don't compensate, just fine, just fine."

Tiandu homestead was the largest demolition and resettlement "community" in Ninghai at that time. It was said to be a community. In fact, this place can accommodate tens of thousands of people, which is almost the same as the area.
In those days, the location of this area was very remote and the house price was also very low, but in recent years, the real estate price has soared, leading to the price of Tiandu home's resettlement "community" rising by rocket. Those owners who demolished in the early years, every household has several houses, and selling one at random is enough for others to work for decades. Now they have led a happy public rental life.
Ninghai is an international metropolis with a large number of migrant workers. The rent of Tiandu home is relatively low, so it is generally chosen to live here.
However, now it seems that the killer chose to live in Tiandu homeland, but he still considered it very comprehensively - this area has a large population, mixed with good and evil people, and once mixed in, it is extremely difficult to be found.
"It's a little difficult this time." Ye binglan said that their biggest headache is to carry out population screening. In such a large community, there are particularly many people renting and returning their rent every day. Therefore, the police often describe Tiandu homeland as a "blocking" homeland.
"Yes." Su Rui also slightly frowned: "if the detailed investigation is carried out, when the results are available, the suspect will have run away, and even may not be in China."
"Brother, do you have any good ideas?" Ye binglan asked.
"It's not a good idea, but you can take a chance." Su Rui said, "by the way, you should arrange it first, try to check the tenants, and compare them one by one. Although it's a little troublesome, stupid methods are always better than no methods."
"A stupid way is better than no way."
Ye binglan heard the words and laughed: "this sentence is good. In fact, we used to solve many cases in this stupid way. No matter whether the method is stupid or not, as long as we can solve the case, it is a good method."
Su Rui nodded. After ye binglan arranged everything, he said, "this stupid method will work hard for your colleagues. As for us, let's try to take a shortcut."
Try to take a shortcut!
Ye binglan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although she didn't know what method Su Rui would adopt, ye binglan had an inexplicable confidence in her heart - as if Su Rui could do it as long as she said it.
Looking at ye binglan's bright eyes, Su Rui reluctantly smiled bitterly, "I'm really taking a chance."
…………
After an hour, they finally arrived at Tiandu home. This place looks really messy. Although there are many high-rise residential buildings, all kinds of snack stalls occupy the whole road. It is the evening rush hour, and the car is about to stop moving.
In the face of this situation, the urban management has no good way. After all, the price of these snack stalls is low. Many migrant workers come to eat every day. The government has not come up with any good planning advice for the time being, so this old and difficult problem has been shelved.
"Go ahead." The taxi driver said, "I drove into the gate and stopped at a snack stand about 50 meters inside."
This position is already quite accurate.
"Can you still remember the name of that snack stand?" Su Rui's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The taxi driver's words brought him a lot of surprises!
"Remember." The driver said, "it seems to be called old man Mi's steamed bun shop."
"Old man Mi's steamed stuffed bun shop? Did the female passenger go to this shop to buy steamed stuffed buns?"
"I saw her get out of the car and stand in line." The driver said.
"Very good." Su Rui smelled the words and looked at ye binglan. They both saw the light in each other's eyes!
Fortunately, this female killer gave them buffer time!
Fortunately, she didn't leave until tomorrow. If she left today, Su Rui and ye binglan couldn't find her even if they arrived here!
Su Rui patted the taxi driver on the shoulder, "master, your information is too important for us, but can you think about it again? What are the characteristics of this female passenger? In addition to being petite and wearing a mask."
After all, such petite girls are everywhere in China. Even if Su Rui's eyes are poisonous, he may admit wrong, which is easy to scare the snake.
"Let me think..." the driver was no longer as nervous as before, and even had the interest of cooperating in solving the case. After thinking for more than ten seconds, he suddenly clapped his hands: "I remember, her hands have tattoos!"
There are tattoos on your hands!
This message is too critical!
Su Rui restrained his inner emotions and calmly asked, "master, what kind of tattoo is that?"
"I saw it when she was paying me." The taxi driver said, "this woman's hand is particularly white, so the tattoo is obvious. I remember, it seems that there is a black butterfly tattooed on the back of her hand."
"Black butterfly? Is it solid or hollow?" Su Rui seemed to think of something, and his eyebrows immediately frowned.
"Hollow is the outline of a butterfly." The driver said, "although the light was not particularly good at that time, but..."
The driver stressed again, "her hands are too white, so the tattoo is still very obvious."
"Having such an obvious tattoo and being a killer is really digging a hole for yourself." Su Rui knows that this is a very important message.
However, Su Rui immediately caught another key point in the taxi driver's words: "you said her hands were white, and then her hair was yellow, right?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Su Rui frowned gently, "can you see her eyes?"
"Wearing sunglasses, I felt a little strange at night." The driver added that the honest man has now fully entered the rhythm of solving the case.
"Is it possible that they are not Chinese?" Su Rui had a whim.
The skin is so white and the hair is yellow. Just based on these characteristics, we cannot judge that the other party must be Chinese.
"It's possible." Unexpectedly, the taxi driver also agreed with Su Rui: "I heard that the Chinese spoken by the other party was a little awkward, as if it was not a special standard."
"Take this as a possibility for the time being." Su Rui said, "if the other person is white and has tattoos on his hands, the scope of the investigation can be greatly reduced."
At this time, the car they took had driven into the gate of Tiandu homeland.
On both sides of the main road in this community, there are still various snack stalls. In front of one of the stalls, there is a long queue, with a red sign hanging high, which says - Mister's steamed stuffed bun shop.
