Chapter 57: The Salvage

The area of this park itself is not small, and because of its location in the city center, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of people who are walking, there are no less than a dozen entrances and exits in a circle of this park, although it is already late autumn, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan went to the park in the morning, in contrast, it is also the warmest time of the day in this season, and motor vehicles are not allowed in the park, so Dai Xu and Fang Yuan arrived there and parked the car in the parking lot in front of a major gate of the parkThere are a lot of cars parked here, and there are people coming in and out at the door, some are young students, with SLR cameras around their necks, dressed up in fancy clothes, it is estimated that they are going to take photos of the autumn leaves, there are also old people who come here to walk and exercise, and there are some young and middle-aged people who are in a hurry, holding things in their hands, or carrying bags on their shoulders.

Although Fang Yuan is an authentic person from City A, the area where he originally lived was not very close to this side, so she knew about this park, but when she passed by outside, she might have had many times, and she hadn't really walked in once, so she was not familiar with this neighborhood. After getting out of the car, she first took a closer look at the gate of the park, but she didn't find a single surveillance camera, she told Dai Xu about this, Dai Xu looked, it was really like this, which made them feel a little fresh, because few parks will not even install any monitoring equipment at the gate. Of course, some are even pretended. Whether it works properly is another matter, but at least for other similar parks, the face project is still in place.

So Dai Xu took Fang Yuan straight to the small guardhouse next to the gate of the park. Explained his identity, asked the internal staff of the park guarding here about the lack of monitoring equipment in the park, there were two middle-aged men sitting in this small guardhouse, both of whom were from the park management office, and they were a little confused when they saw that two policemen suddenly came, and obviously did not know that the other staff in the park had fished out a schoolbag. When asked about the monitoring equipment, both men waved their hands and shook their heads.

"Nope. Originally, there were a few, but then the bad ones were broken, and they were smashed by someone at night, and they didn't think it was useful anyway. Later, I simply didn't fix it. One of them, smoking a cigarette, said lazily, "This shabby park, except for the woods, is a lake, and there are no expensive amusement facilities in it, and there are no shops. At most, there are two or three cold drink stalls and a few public toilets. Oh, yes, and the contractors in the lake are messing up the pedal boats, all of them are big, and which little thief can have so much strength to get the boats in the lake out and carry them away, that's also capable. There's nothing to be afraid of losing inside and out, so what kind of surveillance camera do you press? ”

"Then how many entrances and exits do you have in this park?" Fang Yuan asked.

The smoker thought for a moment: "Oh, there are eleven entrances and exits we have made, and this is not counting the 'gates' that some people have broken the fence of our park wall in order to cut corners." That's more, I can't count them, and I can't catch up with the speed of those people in a hurry! ”

"Do you have a set time for the park to clear visitors and lock the gate at night?" Dai Xu asked.

The smoking snort came out, looked at his companion, his companion waved his hand to Dai Xu: "No, the park does not lock the gate, it turns out that in the early years, it was locked for a while, and the door was locked at eleven o'clock at night, but then I found that it didn't work, the park said that it was not big, it was not small, there were many woods inside, after dark, if anyone stayed inside, they might not be able to find it, we locked the door in the early years, and we could always meet that kind of little couple, wild." Mandarin ducks, I don't know where to hide before, the park gate is locked before I want to go, the sky is dark, the corners of the fence that has been broken by people, unless it is particularly familiar, or it can not be found at night, the courtyard wall is high, it is unrealistic to turn out, and you have to go to the duty room to find someone, begging someone to open a small door to let them out. Later, this kind of thing happened every three or five times, which made us very annoying, and that, seeing that it was time to lock the door, he wanted to take a shortcut from the park, but he didn't lock the door when he went in from this end, and when he went to that end to go out, he found that the door was locked, in short, it was trouble, and then he simply didn't lock it. ”

"In other words, there is no surveillance, and the park gate is unlocked 24 hours a day." Dai Xu summed up the information provided by these two people, and then couldn't help but smile, laughing a little helplessly, "After so many years, your park is quite lucky, and there has never been any trouble before." ”

The two middle-aged staff members looked uninterested, it seemed that the two of them worked every day to stay in this small duty room, bored and waiting to get off work, as for whether the park should be equipped with surveillance cameras, and whether it was safe to lock the park door all night long, they didn't care.

Then, the rest of the things, and then ask these two people who are monks for a day to hit the clock is also useless, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan said thanks, walked out of this virtual guardhouse, strode towards the direction of the artificial lake, from this gate to the artificial lake, you also need to pass a large area of pine and cypress, the trees in this park, are distributed in different areas according to different categories, from a distance, in the forest elsewhere, the leaves are green and green, yellow and yellow, red and red, there is a unique landscape, The large area of pine and cypress they passed through did not change significantly, but Fang Yuan and Dai Xu were not in the mood to enjoy the autumn leaves at the moment, they not only needed to go to the lake, but also needed to find the person who had salvaged the schoolbag to ask about the situation.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally walked along the forest path to an open area, in front of which is the area of the artificial lake, and a large area of water can be seen in the distance, the artificial lake is irregularly shaped, and there are some zigzag water corridors and small arch bridges in a relatively narrow position. In an open place, there is a boat in the east and a boat in the west at this time. It's not a pedal boat for tourists, but workers at the park management office are cleaning the lake of garbage and decaying lotus leaves, as well as all kinds of aquatic plants that shouldn't be left behind.

Dai Xu walked over and greeted a few people who were busy working on a small boat closest to the shore, and asked if they knew the person whose name was Wang Ge, and those people really knew him, and Dai Xu said that he needed to find him for something. The men stretched out their hands and pointed towards an almost diagonal stretch of water, indicating that the man named Wang Ge and the boat he was numbering should now be cleaning the area of aquatic weeds and garbage.

Dai Xu thanked a few people. He Fang Yuan walked through the corridor above the water, and then walked around a small arched bridge, and walked for about ten minutes, before finally seeing the numbered wooden boat where Wang Ge was. The ship had already docked. The people above are picking up the weeds, dead branches and leaves and garbage that have been cleaned up in the water on the shore, waiting for the garbage truck to pull them all away.

Dai Xu and Fang Yuan walked over, those people looked at them curiously while working, Dai Xu also looked at those people, and then asked, "May I ask which one is called Wang Ge?" ”

A man who looked to be in his early fifties was stunned for a moment, looked at Dai Xu in some surprise, and then looked at Fang Yuan on the side. replied very unconfidently: "It's me, my name is Wang Ge." ”

"Hello." Dai Xu showed his ID, "Today you picked up a schoolbag and handed it to the people from the Public Security Bureau, right?" Can I delay you a little longer, we have something we want to know more about. ”

"Oh, oh, good." Wang Ge seemed to be an honest person, and when he heard Dai Xu say this, he quickly nodded in agreement, then threw the rake in his hand to the flower bed next to him, took off the wet rubber gloves in his hand, pinned them to his waist casually, and then walked over to Dai Xu and Fang Yuan.

Dai Xu shook hands with him, Wang Ge looked a little restrained, so Dai Xu spoke first: "First of all, on behalf of our Public Security Bureau, I would like to express my gratitude to you for finding money, the schoolbag you saw can provide very important clues for a case we are investigating, and it will help us a lot." ”

Listening to Dai Xu's words, Wang Ge seemed to be very happy, the original nervousness was also diluted a lot, he smiled honestly, waved his hand, and said very modestly: "I am also a matter of raising my hands, nothing, I can do it if someone else can do that, I didn't think too much about it at the time, I wondered if it was a child who was confused, and dropped his schoolbag when he was playing by the lake, and he couldn't get old, and he didn't know how anxious he was when he went back, and the students who went to school lost their schoolbags. What's the difference between that and the soldier on the battlefield who lost his gun, so I called the police station near our park, it turned out that I thought this kind of thing, people may not take care of it, but I didn't expect to come over after a while, take the schoolbag away, it turns out that there are other things here, then I can be regarded as a crooked hit, the blind cat touched the dead mouse! ”

"Can you point us to the bag where you picked it up?" Fang Yuan made a request.

Wang Ge immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you can go with me, it's not too far from here." ”

So the three of them walked together towards the place where Wang Ge picked up the schoolbag, because it was by the lake, so they only needed to walk along the lake, Wang Ge was wearing a pair of big black rubber boots, and when he walked, he would make a creaking sound, and it was also slightly bulky, and he couldn't walk fast, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan were not good at urging people in this situation, so they followed him unhurriedly, and walked out more than 100 meters around the lake, Wang Ge stood down next to an old willow tree that grew crookedly and obliquely against the lake. Pointing to the water's edge under the tree, he said to them, "That's where I found that school bag, and in the morning our group was cleaning up water weeds and garbage from here to there, and I took that hook left and right, and I hooked out a school bag." ”

"How deep is the water in this lake?" Fang Yuan looked at it, the water in the lake was green, not clear, and she couldn't see the bottom, there was no way to judge, she had to ask Wang Ge.

Wang Ge shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, a piece of a depth is not the same, this neighborhood is relatively shallow, there can be a ten meters and eight meters, there is the deepest one over there, more than thirty meters, and there is the shallowest one over there, the water is two meters deep, and there is mud below, and our boat to clean up the garbage can't get through." ”

Ten meters and eight meters, this depth is of course relatively shallow for a depth of thirty meters, but for ordinary people, it can also be regarded as deep, so Fang Yuan immediately thought of another thing: "Do you clean up the garbage in the lake so deeply and thoroughly?" Ten meters and eight meters deep water, the calm schoolbag was also fished out? ”

As soon as Wang Ge heard Su Tong's words, he smiled: "If it sinks to the bottom, then how can it be fished, we are cleaning regularly, and there is no such long guy, that schoolbag did not sink to the bottom, it is estimated that it is a fool, playing by the lake, the black light is blind, and the schoolbag falls into the water along the shore, I guess." Because the schoolbag, just near this willow tree, this tree grows too close to the shore, a lot of roots are drilled into the water from the shore, the schoolbag is hung by a very thick root, it is estimated that it can fall down to two meters deep, I took the hook so a hook on the touch, three hooks and two hooks to get down from the roots, at first I don't know what it is, and then hook up to see, it is still a schoolbag. ”

"How often do you clean the lake in the park?" Dai Xu asked Wang Ge.

Wang Ge replied: "This scoring season, there are many people and garbage in the summer, we have to get it often, at least twice a week, if it is too dirty, we have to add it again or twice, and then it is autumn, what lotus leaves in the autumn book, aquatic plants, all yellow yellow, rotten rotten, we have to be busy for a while, all of them are cleared out, cleaned up, basically waiting for the winter to freeze." ”

"So when you were cleaning and salvaging the lake recently, did you find anything else besides this school bag? I mean, it's not just ordinary garbage, it's something unusual. Dai Xu asked again.

Wang Ge was a little confused by Dai Xu's question, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "No, the most unusual thing is the schoolbag I fished up today, everything else is garbage, mineral water bottles, food packaging bags, plastic bags blown in by the wind, and then those things like dead branches and rotten leaves." We've been busy cleaning up the lake lately, and I'm right. (To be continued......)
