Chapter X

"Did you find anything else besides your wallet?" Ning Zhiyuan spoke out and interrupted the behavior of the two cleaners betraying each other. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "No. Both men shook their heads at the same time. Sister Wang said again: "As soon as we picked up the wallet, Director Liu came, and then we were taken to the security department." "Team Ning, do you want to go to the scene to have a look?" Chen Feng asked in a low voice. Ning Zhiyuan nodded, "Well, go and take a look, maybe there will be other discoveries at the scene." ”

The boiler room in the backyard, not far from the dormitory building, is a separate small compound that is responsible for heating the entire hospital. It was the winter heating season, and the yard was lined with a hill-like pile of coal on one side and burnt ash on the other, with only a passage leading to the boiler room door.

"Where did you pick up your wallet?" Ning Zhiyuan stood at the door of the courtyard of the boiler room and asked the two cleaners. "Right here." Sister Wang walked a few meters to the right side of the gate and pointed to the root of the wall. Ning Zhiyuan walked to the root of the wall and squatted down, carefully observing the traces on the ground. After a while, he stood up and whispered to Chen Feng: "Call the bureau's duty room and ask them to send someone to block the scene, and then let the technical department survey the area around the boiler room after dawn tomorrow." Then he said to Lao Liu: "You can take the two of them back, as for what to do, it is up to your security department to decide." ”

"Team Ning," Chen Feng said with some hesitation, "now it's just a wallet." If nothing is found out tomorrow, Anari will come back again, wouldn't it be okay to stir up the crowd like this? Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand, pointed to the dormitory building and said, "You don't need to go through here to buy supper from the dormitory, it seems that someone must have brought Anari here." Since Anari disappeared from here, there will definitely be more traces left behind. Even if she were able to return, she must have been coerced during her disappearance. Whether it's kidnapping or hunting, in the end, we all have to find the suspect, wouldn't it be better to find the evidence early? ”

Chen Feng listened to Ning Zhiyuan's words, no longer refuted, and directly called the duty room of the bureau. The duty room of the city bureau has always been very efficient, and in less than half an hour, someone was sent to seal off the entire area around the boiler room.

Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng crossed the cordon and entered the small building in the boiler room, where only one stoker in his forties was on duty. It wasn't until Ning Zhiyuan and Chen Feng arrived at his duty room that he knew that the entire outside was blocked.

"Officer, what's wrong?" The stoker asked as he looked at the two of them suspiciously. "Who was on duty the night before yesterday?" Ning Zhiyuan did not answer the rhetorical question. The stoker leaned on the table and glanced at the duty schedule and said, "It's Li Huaimin, old Li Tou." "Can you get in touch with him now?" Ning Zhiyuan asked again. The stoker took an old-fashioned telephone from the table, pressed the speakerphone button and said while dialing: "His house is not far away, but Lao Li Tou is a good drinker, and it is estimated that he must be drunk again at this time, so I'll give a call to try." ”

After the phone was connected, no one answered until it was automatically disconnected, and the stoker dialed several times in a row, but fortunately, there was finally a time when the phone was answered before it was disconnected, and a vague and angry voice came from the telephone: "Who, don't let Lao Tzu sleep so late." ”

"Old Litou, don't sleep." The stoker shouted loudly, "Hurry to the boiler room, something is wrong!" The person on the other end of the phone heard that something was going on, seemed to be sober, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" The stoker said impatiently: "Don't ask, come over quickly, you'll know when you come." "Okay, okay, okay, I'll get dressed." Before the voice fell, there was a busy sound on the phone.

Ten minutes later, Ning Zhiyuan, who was standing outside the courtyard of the boiler room, saw an old man in his fifties trotting all the way towards the boiler room. The old man ran closer, looked at the guard tape outside the boiler room and was stunned, and muttered in a low voice: "What's wrong, even the police are alarmed." ”

Ning Zhiyuan stepped forward and asked, "Are you Li Huaimin?" "Yes, I am." Lao Li nodded in agreement, and a strong smell of wine came from his body. "I'm from the criminal police team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, let's go inside and talk about it." Ning Zhiyuan frowned slightly from the smell of wine, turned around and walked towards the boiler room. Lao Li Tou hurriedly followed him into the small building.

"Were you on duty the night before yesterday?" Ning Zhiyuan asked as hard as he could. "It's me on duty, what's wrong?" Lao Li Tou unbuttoned his cotton coat, wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead with his hand, and said. "Have you seen anyone or heard anything after nine o'clock in the evening?" Ning Zhiyuan asked again.

"After nine o'clock? I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything. Lao Li Tou looked stunned. The stoker on the side sneered and teased: "Didn't you drink too much again and fall asleep, right?" "I said Xiao Han, can you stop talking nonsense. I never drink at work. Lao Li Tou glared at the stoker he called Xiao Han, and said angrily.

"Pull you down," Xiao Han continued disappreciatively, "I believe you when you don't eat, but if you say you haven't drunk any day, who will believe you!" "Which eye did you see that I drank the day before yesterday?" Lao Li's face turned red, and he retorted, "I said that I didn't drink it, I didn't drink it." ”

"And what did you do after nine o'clock the night before?" Ning Zhiyuan interrupted the argument between the two. "Look at the boiler, what else can you do?" Lao Li Tou muttered, "I checked the pressure gauge, thermometer, flow meter, coal loader, slag remover, blower, and induced draft fan, and everything is normal." Ning Zhiyuan pulled the corner of one side of his mouth and said: "The job responsibilities are posted on the wall, I know the words, you don't need to recite it to me." ”

"What kind of slippery are you playing here, you can answer whatever you ask." Chen Feng reprimanded. "Comrade policeman, I really didn't see anything the night before yesterday." Old Li Tou said with a wry smile. Ning Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Then you go back first, and if you think of something, remember to tell us immediately." "Well, I must have thought about it." As if he had received a pardon, Lao Li quickly left the boiler room.

The next morning, the technical section conducted a careful survey of the boiler room and its surroundings, and the overall progress was greatly affected due to the large area and the coal ash everywhere on the ground. But after several hours of hard work by the technical department, a burnt necklace pendant and several metal buttons were finally found in the ash slag of the boiler room. The necklace pendant is vaguely recognizable as a HelloKitty cartoon kitten studded with broken diamonds. The Technical Section took samples of the furnace ash near the location where the necklace pendant and button were found and brought back to the Bureau for further technical testing.
