Long Jiang and Wang Di asked three or four small fruit vendors one after another, but to no avail.

"Maybe they're all itinerant vendors, selling here today, selling there tomorrow, walking the streets and alleys, they can't recognize them, and it's like finding someone to investigate, if they find it all at once, it's strange."

Wang Di saw that Long Jiang showed a disappointed expression, and comforted him with kind words.

Long Jiang is indeed a little depressed, he is not good at finding people, if he has a phone number, at least he can let Mimi help and reduce unnecessary troubles.

I regret it a little bit, and yesterday the connection was a little poor, otherwise it would have been locked early.

However, he was optimistic by nature, and his depressed thoughts only turned a few times, and in the blink of an eye, he dissipated, and he became happy again.

"Brother Wang, go to the newsstand in front and ask. There was a woman, dressed so scary, that she couldn't have an impression of the old pervert. ”

Wang Di approached the newsstand, and suddenly his scalp tingled.

The newsstand had a long and narrow iron door, and inside it sat a shabby rattan chair, on which sat a woman of unknown age, wearing heavy makeup and revealing clothes, wearing black stockings with green thighs, and her face was so fat that she could not see her true color, like a geisha of the Japanese Kingdom.

The most exaggerated thing is the woman's pair of big breasts, you can see that she did have some capital when she was young, but her old breasts drooped, gray and yellow, full of dark spots, and she was barely stuffed into a narrow black suspender at the moment, which looked bloated and shabby.

The woman crossed her slender thighs, smoked a slender lady's cigarette, and looked at Long Jiang, Wang Di and the photos in his hands with a pair of cloudy eyes.

"Oh, two handsome little guys, let me think about it, I'm not impressed." The woman's teeth were black and yellow, and the moment she looked at the photo, she obviously showed an expression of recognition.

Wang Di was still chattering: "Think about it again, it is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police, if you think of anything, call me." ”

The woman bared her yellow teeth and was happy, not answering Wang Di's words, but a pair of ** eyes looked at Long Jiang and Wang Di greedily, aiming at their healthy skin, strong pectoral muscles and tight skin.

Wang Dijiu was in the high-level organs of the Municipal Bureau, and he was very unaccustomed to this kind of red fruit eyes, his face changed and he was about to shake out of his official authority, but he was pulled by Long Jiang, and walked in front of the woman with a smile:

"Beauty, buy a bag set." Brushed a green 50 yuan and handed it over.

Condom? The old woman immediately came to her senses, and her dim yellow eyes with age spots looked at Longjiang's private parts excitedly, and she did not hesitate to report the model: "Large one, 20 yuan a box." ”

Long Jiang flipped his wrist and handed it over, and the woman took it and saw that it was a photo of Zhang Cuicheng, with a 50 yuan green bill on it, and suddenly smiled with a mouth full of yellow and black teeth, and pretended to be coquettish in a hoarse voice:

"Little handsome guy, you are really in a hurry, I know this pervert, every time I buy a newspaper, I stare at people's chests for a long time, and I hate it to death."

She quickly found 30 yuan with her hands and feet and handed it to Long Jiang, but her fingers scratched Long Jiang's palm lightly.

Long Jiang felt a chill in his heart, and forced himself to smile with the feeling of vomiting: "Sister, can you tell me where he lives?" ”

The old goblin took the opportunity to grab Long Jiang's palm, and couldn't put it down, and said with a smile:

"Who knows what neighborhood that old thing belongs to? By the way, people remembered that once there was a power outage in the Dongguang community, he came to buy candles, and there was no power outage in other communities, so the Dongguang community was cut off, and there were many people who came to buy. ”

While skillfully throwing an old eyebrow at Long Jiang, he was so old that he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

After getting the news, Long Jiang quickly fell off his palm and almost fled, and the laughter of the old goblin came from behind:

"Little brother, if the model is not suitable, you can come back and change it!"

Long Jiang almost fell, so that Wang Di's shoulders trembled, and he returned to the car with a smile.

Dongguang Community is a family building built in the first ten years, which is old, more than a dozen flat buildings, and the residential floor area ratio is not too high.

I found a few community doormen and property cleaning staff, this time it was quite smooth, because it was an old community, the frequency of cleaning and cleaning was not fast, and they were all farmers who had been working nearby for a long time, simple and good at talking, so the two of them easily inquired about the location of the old thing: the first floor of Unit 1 of Building 13.

The old-fashioned unit door of the building area is not an anti-theft door, or the kind of broken iron door that opens in both directions, and there is no unit door lock at all, and the two of them push the door in a grand manner.

The interior of the building is mottled and dilapidated, the cement has fallen off slightly in many places on the ground, the potholes are full of greasy black plaster, the walls have been painted many times, and several layers of coating can be seen in the peeling parts, and the corners are covered with dusty spider silk, and from time to time there are diligent little spiders slowly swimming.

There were two portals on the first floor, 102 had voices, 101 was quiet, and the two of them noticed at the same time that there were a lot of arrears reminders posted on the 101 door, and Long Jiang ripped them off.

Wang Di first knocked on room 102.

"Who?" An old woman's voice, cat's eyes dark, was obviously snooping inside, and at the same time, a violent man's coughing sound came from the room.

"If you don't know, don't open the door." The man coughed up a mouthful of phlegm and spit it out loudly, his vocal cords purring with a slight snoring sound.

In today's society, the basic trust between strangers has long been lost, even if Wang Di is wearing a police uniform, it does not offset the high vigilance of the old couple inside the door.

Wang Di was about to take out his documents, his arm was quietly pulled by Long Jiang, his mouth was stretched towards the stairs, and there was a clear sound of slippers coming from above, and he came down from the stairs.

The first thing that catches my eye is a pair of thin legs like straw, stepping on a pair of the cheapest foam blue sponge slippers that are rare nowadays, wearing shabby and dirty big pants, with an old man's shirt of unknown color on top, and as he walked down, he revealed a tuft of unkempt hair, and a pair of highly myopic glasses that were much thicker than Mimi's underneath.

The mouth is full of scruffy beard, and you can't tell your age.

He seemed taken aback when he saw Long Jiang and Wang Di, and stopped walking, Long Jiang noticed that he was carrying a bag of garbage in his hand, dripping with an inexplicable yellow and black smelling liquid.

"Hey, what's your name? Come here. Wang Di saw that he hesitated, and refused to come down with four steps left, so he hooked his fingers.

When the man saw Wang Di's police uniform, he didn't want to come down, and muttered:

"I, my name is Zhu Daqiang, what, I didn't do anything, I just wrote some online articles at home, and also, are you still breaking the law?" The voice sounded quite young, and he stuttered in a hurry.

(Internet writers look like this?) Dear, don't scold. ）

Long Jiang was happy, and he could see that this down-and-out guy who wrote online articles was a little afraid of the police, smiled and took out a photo of Cui Cheng's head, went up the steps, and ignored the smell of not taking a bath all over his body, while throwing a cigarette over, he hugged his shoulders and said, "Is this person living on the first floor?" ”

Hu Xiaoqiang took the cigarette in surprise, saw that it was China, shyly enjoyed it with black teeth, lit it, inhaled it carefully, and was reluctant to spit it out for a long time.

"Recognize, recognize, Lao Cui Tou lives in 101, he is elusive, and he loves to check plastic bottles and paper shells when he has nothing to do. Thank you, I haven't paid the manuscript fee this month, and I've been off smoking for a few days. ”

"Have you seen him lately?" Wang Di blocked the staircase below.

"I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it for more than a month."

Wang Di and Longjiang looked at each other, the answer was reliable, Cui Cheng was arrested a month ago.

"What, it's okay, I have to take out the garbage quickly, or the old lady 102 will have to scold again." The liquid flowing from the garbage bag in Zhu Daqiang's hand had accumulated a small puddle on the staircase steps, emitting a very suspicious smell.

Wang Di took a step back and got out of the way, and Zhu Daqiang cautiously carried the stinky coaxing garbage bag and ran out quickly.

After determining the goal, it was easy to do, Wang Di knocked on the door, and the door was locked.

However, in Long Jiang's eyes, it was the same as not locking, he took out a small wire, shook his wrist lightly, and opened the door in Wang Di's surprised gaze.

The room was messy, exuding a strange smell of mold, full of dust, and the small living room was divided into categories, piled up with a lot of paper shells, plastic bottles and old newspapers, all bundled up and waiting to be sold.

"The water in the thermos is hot, people must have come back, we squatted in the pit and waited." Wang Di looked at the traces in the house and found a few footprints.

The two of them were idle and went around in circles, Long Jiang found a dusty frame under the bed in the messy bedroom, which was inlaid with a lot of photos, and took out a headshot for comparison, yes, several photos are photos of a man and others, young, old, it is Cui Cheng.

Idle and bored, Long Jiang and Wang Di sat on the sofa in the living room that had collapsed and chatted.

"Brother Longjiang, in the past, because of rhinitis, I woke up every time I got up at night, and I slept so well yesterday that I didn't have a dream. When my brother doesn't know how to thank you. Wang Di looked at Longjiang gratefully.

"Brother Wang, what are you polite? I owe it to you for my help, and I have to thank you for saying thank you. ”

Wang Di smiled at Longjiang's sophistication, obviously Longjiang is a good person.

I have also done things to accompany the children of the relatives of leaders before, and many times it is a very unpleasant memory, full of arrogance and grievances.

Years of office work have gradually smoothed out Wang Di's edges and corners, from a sharp policeman to a sleek and sophisticated bureaucrat.

"Brother, do you want to be the same 'exceedance' of this person?" Wang Di endured his strong curiosity, thought about it again and again, and still asked the question that he had been holding back for a long time.

After a few days, Long Jiang and Wang Di also became acquainted, so they simply stopped hiding it:

"Brother Wang, I won't hide it from you, this Cui Cheng is heinous, and he is innocent of death, and you will know when he comes back. I'm going to make up his mind. ”

Wang Di's heart was dark, he nodded, and remained silent.

From the last phone call, he basically figured out the intentions of the high bureau, and the leader arranged for him to accompany Longjiang, just to wipe Longjiang's buttocks, and the office director was numb, doing the work of a housekeeper and an old nanny.

This time, Wang Di wisely stopped calling Gao Ju, but stroked his chin and thought about how to deal with the aftermath for a while.

The space was quiet, and the two of them were speechless for a while.

Sitting on the sofa, Long Jiang took out the water and electricity bill to watch and play, and found a problem when he looked at it.

"Brother Wang, don't you see it, this old man has been arrested for a month, and the water and electricity bills are not saved at all, and August, July, and June are basically the same amount."

Wang Di took it and took a look, and was also curious, it was not the right way, from the room, he lived alone, and no trace of the second person was found, but this water, electricity, why didn't he pinch it at all?

The two looked at each other, and the door lock of the room suddenly sounded the key.
