Chapter 289: Nine Lives (Chen)
I sighed in my heart that the leader of the Cao team was getting better and better, and I could even judge how long I would stay in the traffic police corps, and immediately arranged for me to investigate the next station, and I don't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate to be his subordinate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info pressed the phone number on the text message, and it was Deputy Director Li who answered the phone, and explained his intention, he asked me to meet in the office at two o'clock in the afternoon, and he first arranged for the police to check what information there was about this Teacher Zhang, and help me sort it out.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the police station, and the police at the door took me to Deputy Director Li's office, pushed the door in, but it was full of smoke, as if it was a blessed cave, but the smell was so choking that even I, a smoker, couldn't stand it. Deputy Director Li behind the desk didn't seem to realize it at all, still holding a cigarette in his mouth, holding a piece of paper in his hand and looking at it repeatedly.
Seeing me enter the door, Deputy Director Li quickly stood up with a smile, walked over to shake my hand, and let me go to the sofa on the side. "Hello, comrade Chang? I've heard Team Cao mention it to me several times, and if you dare to love you, you should have visited you a long time ago. ”
After saying the polite words, Deputy Director Li took a few files from the table and handed them to me, and said: "The person you said, I arranged for someone to check, the information is here, you take a look first, I didn't expect it, without your reminder, I really didn't know that we still have such a character hidden here." ”
"What, is this person very strange?" Deputy Director Li's words surprised me, could it be that there are still a lot of cases in the police station?
"Hey, it's not clear for a while, you look at this first, that old Zhang is a math teacher in a middle school in Shijiazhuang, and was later expelled from the school because of gambling, and came to Beijing in April 97, and rented No. 89 Yuying Hutong, it has been a year and a half now, this person usually goes out early and returns late, and the neighborhood has not moved, and even many residents in the alley do not know this person. As he spoke, Deputy Director Li handed me a piece of paper, which was a registration form for itinerant personnel.
"The owner of No. 89 is surnamed Cai, and the old couple lives there, with a son and a daughter. The son went abroad in ninety-five years, and the daughter-in-law and the child passed within two years, and the daughter married to Shenzhen, and only came back for the New Year's holidays. The old couple lived in such a big yard and panicked, so they rented out the east and west wings, and Mr. Zhang lived in the east wing and had lived there for more than a year. The tenants of the West Wing are not very fixed, and they are changed every three or five months, and the most recent tenant is a person from Handan, Hebei. ”
Listening to Deputy Director Li's words, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then blurted out: "Handan people, is it surnamed Zhao?"
Deputy Director Li also looked at me in surprise, "Can't you see, Lao Chang, have you understood all these things?"
I shook my head and hurriedly said, "Guess, guess, I just think that everything is too strange and I won't care about more coincidences." Although he said this, he was thinking in his heart, I am afraid that this matter can no longer be described as strange, but why did Zhao Shaocheng live with Lao Zhang?
Deputy Director Li took out a few more materials and handed them to me, "Lao Chang, look at this again, there are really a lot of things on that Lao Zhang." ”
I received the materials from Deputy Director Li, which were several police records and police dispatch reports from the police station, all of which were related to the No. 89 Hospital. All records were recorded between September '97 and May '98.
The earliest one reported the case was the old lady of the Cai family, who reported that the tenants of her house eavesdropped on the enemy station in the middle of the night. The content of this report is a bit unbelievable, if it was placed more than ten years ago, I'm afraid it was still a big case, now the Internet is available, and satellite TV is about to become popular, who still listens to that thing in the middle of the night?
However, the police station still sent police, and it was handled as a civil dispute mediation. The police officer who went to the police learned about the situation in detail, and it turned out that the old man Cai was over 70 years old, and he had an old problem of neurasthenia, and he often couldn't sleep at night, and there was a little noise outside, and he would wake up when he fell asleep, so he was most afraid that his neighbors would sleep late at night and make some noise. At that time, the old couple was willing to rent the room to Lao Zhang, also because he looked very gentle, happy and afraid of noise, and had no friends who liked to hang out.
Lao Zhang moved in for the first two or three months, but as soon as nine o'clock in the evening, there was no sound in the east wing. But after a while, Old Man Cai began to hear the slightest electric sound from the radio, which was very faint but lasted for a long time. If it's a music broadcast or something, Mr. Cai will endure it, but there is no kind of busy current sound when the radio station, sometimes it has to ring for most of the night, and it doesn't stop until dawn in the early morning, and it's useless to toss Old Man Cai's ears are blocked with cotton, and when he closes his eyes, his ears are the sound of pulling and pulling.
Grandma Cai went to the East House to find Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang's attitude was very sincere, apologizing while saying that he would definitely pay attention. Then the sound of the current stopped, but at one o'clock in the night, the sound sounded again, it is estimated that Lao Zhang saw that the old couple was asleep, so he turned on the radio. But Old Man Cai woke up immediately when he heard the voice, and he was sleepless for half a night.
Grandma Cai went to find Lao Zhang the next day, Lao Zhang's attitude was still sincere, saying that he would use the radio to put on the headphones at night, and persuaded Grandma Cai to go back, but after two days of quiet, there was a new problem, often in the middle of the night from the east house came to the sound of "popping", at first the old couple thought that Lao Zhang used an electric mosquito swatter, and later found out that it was not, the sound was very regular, and the light bulb in his home would be bright and dark with this popping sound.
When Grandma Cai went to find Lao Zhang again, Lao Zhang looked very helpless, he defended that he was indeed wearing headphones, and the snapping sound should be caused by the aging of the wiring in the yard, and he couldn't help it. Grandma Cai didn't believe Lao Zhang's statement at all, there was no problem with the line before Lao Zhang moved here, why did he have problems after he moved in?
Grandma Cai found a time for Lao Zhang to go out to run errands, and used the spare key she left to sneak into the east house where Lao Zhang lived, wanting to see the source of the strange noise. Grandma Cai was startled when she entered, and on the desk against the wall in the east room, there were five or six radios of different sizes piled up high and low, and two lids were opened, revealing all kinds of transistors inside, and there were changing cones and soldering irons spread on the table, as if Lao Zhang had fiddled with them before leaving. Grandma Cai figured out what Lao Zhang was doing, and hurriedly retreated.
That night, the old couple didn't sleep well, and Old Man Cai was thinking about the radio in Lao Zhang's room, and Grandma Cai was thinking about the radio in Lao Zhang's room.
The police station that received the report couldn't cry or laugh, but it couldn't stand Grandma Cai's stalking, so it had to send someone to understand the situation again and mediate by the way. Lao Zhang was surprised and nervous about the police's visit, but after listening to the police's intentions, Lao Zhang slowly calmed down. Lao Zhang told the police that he was a radio enthusiast and a teacher in the past, and he wanted to use his professional knowledge to make some small inventions after going to sea.
Lao Zhang's words are coupled with his innate teacher temperament, which is still very convincing, the police no longer doubt his equipment, even Grandma Cai is a little embarrassed, maybe this Teacher Zhang can really invent something epoch-making, if he dies because his old couple can't sleep well, then he won't become a sinner of the country?
For what happened before, Lao Zhang apologized to Grandma Cai again, and proposed remedial measures, Lao Zhang found time to buy some soundproofing materials and come back, and repackage the rooms of the East House and the old couple to make a soundproofing layer, so that there would be no problem.
Two weeks later, the police went to visit No. 89 Courtyard again, Lao Zhang's efficiency was very high, and the soundproof walls of the two rooms were completed, and Grandma Cai felt that Lao Zhang was very hard to engage in scientific research, so she no longer let him eat out, and did a little more every day to send Lao Zhang to the house. In this way, the case of eavesdropping on the enemy's Taiwan was thus closed.
After reading this file, I vaguely felt that Lao Zhang was hiding something, he was a mathematics teacher, a teacher obsessed with probability, how could he be interested in radio? But there are so many radios in his room, it must have its function, but if it is only used to listen to the radio, why do you want to get so many stations?
The second alarm record occurred in October '97, more than a month after the enemy's Taiwan incident.
It was already autumn, but the weather in Beijing was a bit abnormal, and it rained for three or four days in a row, starting at eight or nine o'clock in the evening and stopping in the early morning. The autumn rain in Beijing was not heavy, but on October 13, it was very windy, torrential rain, and a few thunders. When the police station received the call to report the case, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Grandma Cai called, her voice trembled so much that she couldn't hear it clearly, and the police on duty took a lot of effort to figure out that Lao Zhang in their courtyard was struck by lightning, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Every year, there are always a few lightning strikes to trees, high-voltage lines, and cars, but they can hit people, and the police on duty are the first time to hear of it. He immediately called the emergency center, got on the bike and ran to hospital No. 89. When I arrived at the courtyard, a few neighbors from the neighborhood had already come, and they were busy in the courtyard noisily. As soon as the police entered the courtyard, they smelled a smell of burning, and ran over to see that Lao Zhang had fallen straight to the ground, wet all over, his eyes were closed, his lips were pale, and he was motionless.
