Chapter 20 People go to the empty building
When Li Yiting thought of this place, it seemed a little too late.
The glass door of the bungalow by the fish pond is locked, and it has long been deserted, and there have been two murders in front of the door, so no one dares to stay here.
It wasn't that he didn't think of these surveys in advance, but they had already been done by the city police officers, and psychologically he was inclined to trust his peers.
However, now that things seem to be getting more and more puzzling, and the preliminary investigation has not yielded any useful clues, is it necessary to re-investigate all the circumstances?
He came alone, not so much to investigate, but to wander around, and sometimes it is easy to ignore some details if he is too deliberate.
He tried to walk slowly along the fishpond, this location was a key site anyway, he was sure of this, whether it was the invisible hand or Meng Biao himself who eventually died here, they were inextricably linked to this fishpond, but what did they have to tell themselves?
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
The bungalow was still as quiet as the first time I came, when there were very few people in and out, and this time there was no one in and out at all.
He leaned against the glass door of the main building and looked into the living room inside, the furnishings had not changed, except that the tea set had been taken away, the homemade ashtray was still in place, and the sofa seemed to be starting to fall dust.
He sighed secretly, it has only been a few days, and the place where no one lives seems to be turning into a world of spider webs soon.
At this time, he thought to himself, but his footsteps moved to the bungalow on the right, and the wooden door of this bungalow also had a small transparent window lattice, so he subconsciously looked inside.
Suddenlyβ
He saw a horrible face in the small window!
Even an old criminal policeman like Li Yiting, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and was born and died, almost fell to the ground and was almost so shocked that he lost his breath.
In broad daylight, what the hell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The door creaked open.
Li Yiting involuntarily took a few steps back, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down.
A ghost came out, and the ghost actually spoke: "Who are you?"
There were beads of sweat on the face of this "ghost", Li Yiting finally stabilized his mind, where was there a ghost who came out to speak in broad daylight, this is obviously a person. But this person really doesn't look like words, chicken-like hair, big horse face, a long scar on the cheeks, crooked eyebrows, slanted eyes, and a little bloodshot eyes, not to mention looking at it from the pane, even if you look at it in person, you can't bear to look at it directly.
"I'm a police officer,...... Who are you?" Li Yiting finally said in a deep voice.
This person actually laughed, and suddenly the ghost disappeared, if it weren't for a scar, it seemed that this person was still a very kind person, and a real smile changed everything.
"It's a police officer, I'm Pan Chunxi. Is there something wrong?" It turned out that this was the accountant Pan Chunxi, there were many people with mixed faces at that time, Li Yiting didn't remember that he actually looked like this, and this person was actually not very old when he looked at it seriously, as if he was not yet thirty years old.
In fact, Pan Chunxi had been staying in the living room for interrogation at the time, and basically did not show up, so Li Yiting naturally couldn't see his face.
"Are you still living here?" asked Li Yiting suspiciously.
Pan Chunxi continued to laugh: "How dare you live, I started having nightmares on the first day, I was not allowed to leave at that time, and after making the record the next day, we packed up the sheets and found another place to live." β
Li Yiting said curiously: "Then why are you here now?"
Pan Chunxi sighed and said, "Isn't it for food, what do you say?...... I'm in finance, and the invoices and documents have been accumulated in boxes over the past few years, so how can I just leave. Besides, these invoices and documents are the lifeblood of the boss, and I dare not move them casually, so I have to take advantage of the daylight to get some when I use them. β
There is a good reason for this, financial work is a core secret for a company, and the whole company may depend on it to survive.
However, Li Yiting soon found some problems: "Your company usually works here, isn't this a dormitory?" He looked around and didn't find any office equipment.
Pan Chunxi shook his head and said, "There is no office here, we usually borrow the office of the factory." Besides, we don't actually have anything to do, just settle the accounts on time every month, no, this month's accounts haven't been settled, my own wages haven't been received yet, and the workers have to come over in two days to make trouble. β
Li Yiting suddenly became interested, he asked Pan Chunxi to move out a few plastic chairs with backrests in the living room, and the small board table at the door happened to have been confiscated, he finally caught a living person today, and he didn't want to leave for a while.
Pan Chunxi didn't have this mind at all, he couldn't wait to leave immediately and chat with the police, what was the difference between that and making a record, but since Li Yiting had spoken, he didn't dare to leave, otherwise he would have thought that he had a ghost in his heart.
"Officer, the factory is in a hurry, we have to settle the bill today, and tomorrow is the weekend. Look?" he muttered, motioning for another day.
Li Yiting ignored him, took out a pack of cigarettes and put them on the table.
"I won't delay you much, sit down. His eyes were sharp, and he saw from a distance two people walking in this direction, who seemed to be workers, and it seemed that there was some popularity here for a while.
Seeing this, Pan Chunxi greeted Li Yiting, greeted the corner of the fish pond gate, and whispered a few words to the two workers, the two workers were full of disappointment, Pan Chunxi couldn't delay more, and walked back.
The two workers still haven't left.
Li Yiting said, "What's wrong?"
Pan Chunxi sighed: "The wall is down, everyone pushes it, and they want money." If you don't wait for our boss to come, how can you say I can do it? β
Li Yiting said with a smile: "Aren't you in charge of finances, don't you give them the workers' wages and send them away." β
Pan Chunxi's mood was a little depressed, and he said in a low voice: "You don't know, the factory hasn't reported to us until now, where did we get the money to settle their salaries." Besides, it has been in arrears for several months, and it was supposed to be settled together after the project was completed this month, but I ran into this file again for some reason. It's really a house leak that happened to be rainy, and it was unlucky. β
He took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and lit it, and it seemed that he didn't want to leave now.
Li Yiting's heart moved, and he asked, "What about your boss? β
"He still dares to show his face? I heard that Meng Biao's family is looking for him everywhere, and they think that he did a good deed, and he didn't come here to look for a hammer. Pan Chunxi was a little helpless when he talked about this.
Li Yiting suddenly asked, "Did he do it?"
Pan Chunxi didn't think much about it, and said casually: "How do I know, who understands this thing." β
Li Yiting seemed to catch a strange aura, and he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Have you been in prison?" He thought that this question would not be answered.
Pan Chunxi was unexpectedly honest, and even nodded: "When I was young, I was ignorant, I crippled a fellow villager, and went in and squatted for a few years." Now that I think about it, I regret it, and I really can't be impulsive. "He seems to have a little bit of pride in being in a cell, and it's hard to understand.
People are indeed very strange sometimes, those who have never committed an accident and have never been in the bureau are frightened when they hear that they are in prison, and they tremble when they see the police; those who have squatted on the number do not think so, especially in front of the police, as if they are very bullish, as if they want to say that I am not afraid of you and let me go to prison again.
He went on to say, "The ones who lived with me before have also squatted. β
Li Yiting understands this psychology, which is just right, so he continued to gossip: "Your boss is really peculiar, how can you find some prison out." β
Pan Chunxi obviously said with some gratitude: "The boss is benevolent...... But you also know that in today's society, those of us who collect debts, if we don't have a black background, who can get the accounts back, the boss is actually smart. β
Li Yiting asked: "Then the boss asked you to kill someone, and you will do it too?"
Pan Chunxi actually laughed: "Why do you kill people in a good way, with so many tickets in hand to earn, who wants to do this, what?" He actually educated the police, "We all have criminal records, and we can find them on the Internet, who has nothing to do to kill someone, begging for death; you policemen don't know what to think, and treat us as fools all day long." β
He leaned over: "In this society now, it is enough to have money to spend, what is the benefit of killing people." A look of "enlightenment" appeared on his face.
Li Yiting believed that he was telling the truth.
"It seems that you have received a lot of orders over the years, and you have been doing quite well, and you can even understand this reason. β
Pan Chunxi's face was pale: "That is, every year, I have not tens of millions, but also millions, and there are many projects; you said that it is not too easy to feed a few of us in such two large units." β
Li Yiting pointed to the two workers who were still standing far away, and asked, "Then why can't they even receive their wages?"
"The boss is the boss, the workers are the workers; according to the regulations, they settle once a year before going home during the Spring Festival, if something doesn't happen here, they won't come over for fear that the boss will run away." β
He suddenly said a secret that he thought he had: "The boss won't give them money if he has money, otherwise how can someone else be the boss, just live a chic life." β
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Li Yiting knew that he couldn't talk to this old oilman today.
He waved his hand, took the initiative to stop the conversation, and continued to talk, and he put on a pack of good cigarettes, and couldn't ask anything useful.
He said, "Okay, you can open a few rooms and I'll take a look." β
Pan Chunxi was stunned for a moment, and said for a long time: "These broken rooms, what's so good." Haven't you all seen it?"
Li Yiting didn't want to talk nonsense with him, he didn't say anything but stretched out his hand, and Pan Chunxi reluctantly took down a large bunch of keys behind him and handed them over.
The three bungalows have a total of six rooms, plus the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a warehouse with an open door, which is piled up with some equipment covered with oilcloth. β
Li Yiting nodded, he used the key to open a room in the northwest, the furnishings in the room were really simple, only an iron bed with bunk beds, an ordinary wooden table, and it was very messy on it, and it was the worker's residence at a glance, but he still walked in and took a turn, and when he left, he looked out the window, and there was a blue sea outside.
He made a joke: "You guys still have a sea view room." β
Pan Chunxi also smiled: "This kind of tired thing, it's convenient to spit out, sometimes you can drink too much and relieve it here." β
Li Yiting walked out of the door slowly and opened the other two rooms, sure enough, just like the first room, like a temporary residence, almost empty, he was a little disappointed, walked through the kitchen and looked a few more times, a refrigerator, a large flat dining table, and a liquefied gas stove; he boredly lifted the plastic vegetable cover on the table, there were two leftovers inside, these people didn't even bother to wash the dishes when they left; think about it and looked back at the room Pan Chunxi came out of just now, in addition to a few more boxes stuffed with bills, there is also a bed cover here, presumably this Pan Chunxi will sleep here for a while at noonγ
Everything couldn't have been more ordinary.
Li Yiting was about to return the key to Pan Chunxi, and squinted at the side of the living room that seemed to be a room, so he retracted his hand again, walked over and opened the door, this room was slightly larger.
There is no bunk iron bed, but there is a Simmons and a mattress, the floor is on the floor, it looks like it is about one meter eight, there is actually a TV in the room, he walked in, smelled a faint fragrance left behind, glanced at the back of the door, and a pair of pink fur-edged boots, he recalled that there seemed to be a beautiful woman living here, and he had seen it at that time.
However, he has always been insensitive to women, and he has no specific impression of what he looks like, but at this time he still habitually walked to the window and looked out. Outside the window is a high wall, not the sea, the wall and the window are very close, less than half a meter wide, and the wall is covered with half-human-high weeds and thorns.
The funny thing is that there is a tattered dress that is some years old on the thorns, and a few little sparrows have built a nest in it, chirping and chirping as if they are waiting for food.
This ecological environment is really back to basics.
Li Yiting turned around and walked out of the room, closed the door with his hand, and made a sound of Peng.
He handed the whole set of keys back to Pan Chunxi.
"What's the matter, this condition is okay, right?" Pan Chunxi said a little teasingly.
Li Yiting didn't speak, and said lightly for a long time: "So-so." β
"Do you still want to see it, officer?"
Li Yiting shook his head: "There's nothing to see." β¦β¦ Where does your boss usually stay?"
Pan Chunxi was walking back to the door of his room, and he didn't think much about it when he heard the words, and turned around and said, "The boss doesn't come much, so he lives in the back of the living room." β
Li Yiting seemed to say casually: "Isn't this room where women live?"
Pan Chunxi was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to let out an oh, and the change in his expression did not escape Li Yiting's eyes.
"His cousin said to come and stay for a few days,...... The boss let her live. β
He added: "She was scared a few days ago, and now she should go back to her hometown." β
