Chinese are good at gambling, which is a kind of nature and a kind of inheritance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFor thousands of years, almost everything has been gambling, from chickens, horses, dogs, cows, crickets, and gnats to weapons, leaf cards, cooking, clothing, stones, and appearances to poems, songs, technical strikes, wrestling, juju, war, wives and children, lives, and even national fortunes. There is a gambling method with more money, less money and less money, there are open gambling, there are dark games, you can gather people, and you can also be pleasant. Gambling can sometimes make people lose their minds, and sometimes it can bring out unlimited potential.

We gamble on a week's worth of food, although it is not too big, but winning or losing is not only a matter of face, but also the feeling of eating a big family. It is no wonder that Team Cao and Zeng Qian immediately eliminated their prejudices, formed an alliance, and were eager to try, discussing what famous dishes in Minfang Restaurant had not yet tasted.

Our gambling method is also very simple, I represent the party that borrows the corpse to return the soul, and they represent the party with another cause, who first finds a reasonable explanation for Xie Manhong's matter, and the other party can't come up with proof to refute it, even if it wins.

When the two of them were about to go out in high spirits, I still stopped them and reminded: "After all, it has been a year and a half since Xie Manhong's incident, Lu Qing and Wang Xiaohui are the newlywed Yan'er, and everyone's investigation must be carried out in secret, and it must not affect their current lives." ”

Team Cao nodded and said, "Lao Chang, don't worry, that's my Fa Xiao and my sister-in-law, I have a sense of proportion, I will go to Lu Qing's words, Xiao Zeng will investigate Wang Xiaohui in private." ”

Seeing that Zeng Qian had already gone out of the gate, I grabbed Team Cao again and quietly instructed him: "You want to create an opportunity for Zeng Qian to contact Wang Xiaohui, so that Zeng Qian can pretend to be your girlfriend, eat together, visit the park or something, so that she can easily contact Wang Xiaohui, understand?"

Team Cao suddenly realized and raised his finger at me, "Jiang is still old and spicy, you have been single for so many years, I don't believe it, I am too experienced." ”

"So, don't say that you invite me to eat for a week, even if you invite Quanjude for a month, it's worth it. I laughed and pulled him out of the courtyard.

"Who invites who is not certain, I just believe in the old saying, isn't it called double happiness?"

But at that time, I knew in my heart that I had won this bet, but the Cao team had not yet figured out the joints.

Xie Manhong sacrificed his life, and what he wanted to accomplish was not a gamble. For gamblers, if she dares to put the last chips and put her life to death, she must have lost too much in the front. For Xie Manhong, what I want to find out is, what did she lose before, and to whom?

Of course, the first thing to do is to get to know the people Xie Manhong had the most contact with before he hanged himself. And this person, in the previous investigation of the Cao team, was obviously ignored.

In the afternoon of the next day, I went to the tube building where Lu Qing and Cao Team lived. It's a small courtyard, and apart from the tube building, there are only four small buildings built in the seventies with five floors. Most of the people living in this courtyard are employees of the public security system and their families, as well as teachers from nearby primary and secondary schools. This family home is usually very quiet, and there are not many people coming in and out.

Xie Manhong's work and life are very regular, basically two o'clock and one line, coming out of the unit and taking a three-stop bus to get home. I walked along the courtyard gate in the direction of the station, and after walking a short distance, I passed a vegetable market that was not too big, and the flow of people here was obviously dense, bustling, and very lively. I went into the vegetable market and took a turn, and basically the people who came to buy vegetables were the uncles and aunts who lived nearby, and this vegetable market became an important place for everyone to talk about their parents' shortcomings. Most of the people inside knew each other, said hello, and chatted next to them with their dishes.

Judging from what Team Cao told me, Xie Manhong has two or three night shifts a week, and the next day she works shifts during the day to rest, and she cooks good food, so this vegetable market should be a place where she often comes and stays for a long time. A few dozen meters ahead, there is a kindergarten, and at this moment, the parents of the children are waiting at the door, waiting for the children to get out of school. I remember that Team Cao mentioned that Xie Manhong has a friend who is a teacher in kindergarten, and she often goes to help, so this should be here.

When I got home, I called Team Cao and asked him to lend Xiao Lei to me for two days, Team Cao asked me with great concern if there was a clue, I smiled and told him that it was still early, and he would have to wait a few days.

The next day, Xiao Lei came to me early in the morning, and we went to the police station near the family home. Xiao Lei and the police at the police station are very familiar with each other, and although it has been a year and a half since Xie Manhong hanged himself, everyone still has an impression. Xiao Lei took me to find Li Yufang, the household registration policeman in this area, and said that she was most familiar with this area. Li Yufang is a lesbian in her forties. Speaking of Xie Manhong, he looked very sorry. Li Yufang and Xie Manhong are still more familiar, told me that Xiao Xie is a good comrade, and he is very familiar with the neighbors in several courtyards around, and he is also enthusiastic.

We were chatting, and Xiao Du, the film policeman opposite Li Yufang, answered the phone, talking and talking, I don't know who I was arguing with, and the voice was getting louder and louder. It seemed that someone on the phone was reporting the case to the police station, and Xiao Du obviously didn't want to care, and a few minutes later, Xiao Du hung up the phone angrily.

"Xiao Du, is it from the family home of the Water Conservancy Bureau again?" Li Yufang interrupted the conversation with me and asked.

"Hey, who else has to call back and forth every day, I have to make a trip, and I can't solve the problem at all." Xiao Du took his coat and went out with a dark face.

"What's the matter, Sister Li?" I asked Li Yufang when I saw him go out.

"Hey, Comrade Chang, it's not me complaining in front of the comrades of the city bureau, now the grassroots work is too difficult, in the family courtyard of the Water Conservancy Bureau, there are a few aunts, in the eighties they got together to practice qigong, these two years have not been practiced, and they have changed to burn incense and worship the Buddha, this religious activity, the state has a policy, we are not good at it, but these people, every afternoon they move a clay statue out, worship in the courtyard, and burn incense, so that the neighbors have opinions, but no matter how they persuade them, they call the police station, Xiao Duan, every day to do work for them, invite them back, no, it's almost a month, to Xiao Duan, make evil。 ”

"By the way, Comrade Chang, didn't you just ask Xie Manhong about it? She is familiar with the aunts of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the leaflets and notices I sent were all Xiao Xie helping me run in that courtyard. She also keeps going to the eight places in the West Mountain with them to burn incense, you can ask them, maybe you know something. ”
