Chapter 0009: Water Dragon Society

With Zhou Fengshan's orders one after another, the members of the case-handling team in the conference room, including Wang Jiangang, kept taking orders. Soon, the conference room was empty, and only Zhou Fengshan, Du Chenghu, and Lin Jiangbei were left sitting there.

Zhou Fengshan was busy with official business, and he was able to spare most of the day to attend the case meeting, which was already enough to give Cao Huowang face. In addition to the chief inspector of the Inspectorate of the Provincial Police Department, Du Chenghu has another more important identity, that is, the head of the Hangcheng Station of the Intelligence Department, and his official duties may even be busier than Zhou Fengshan. Naturally, the two of them could not be on the front line of the large-scale search operation like Wang Jiangang and Rao Xiaodong at this time.

It's just that what makes Zhou Fengshan feel strange is that Lin Jiangbei, as a consultant to solve the case, did not propose to join any action team to participate in the search operation during the process of giving orders, but chose to stay in the conference room like the two of them.

Could it be that Lin Jiangbei didn't want to experience the thrill of personally searching for the murderer according to his analysis? Perhaps, in his opinion, after analyzing the case, it means that his task as a consultant has ended?

Zhou Fengshan thought in his heart, but stood up and stretched out his hand to Lin Jiangbei, "Jiangbei, I have you for this time!" When the murderer is arrested and brought to justice, I will personally ask for credit for you in front of Deputy Director Cao and Mr. Duan! ”

Unexpectedly, his hand was stretched out in front of Lin Jiangbei, but Lin Jiangbei sat there without reacting.

Zhou Fengshan took a closer look, but found that Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows were furrowed, and he kept whispering in his mouth, listening carefully, but he kept reading the words "no".

Wrong? What's wrong?

Zhou Fengshan was about to open his mouth to ask Lin Jiangbei what was wrong, but he saw Lin Jiangbei slap the table and stand up suddenly, "Principal Zhou, I'm sorry, we have been ignoring one point before the students found out. ”

Zhou Fengshan was taken aback by Lin Jiangbei, took a half step back, and then asked, "What point did you ignore?" ”

"Dragon Society!" Lin Jiangbei spit out three words.

"Dragon Society?" Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu met a look.

The Dragon Club, also known as the Water Dragon Club, was a non-governmental fire-fighting organization in Hangzhou at that time, and the function of the later fire brigade was similar, but it was a voluntary fire-fighting organization formed by the people. Because the fire-fighting equipment was called "dragon" at that time, such as the "lifting dragon" carried by manpower out of the water on the shoulder, the "towing dragon" dragged by more than a dozen people, the mechanized car "foreign dragon", the semi-mechanized "pump dragon", "butterfly dragon", etc., therefore, the fire-fighting organization was called "dragon club". Although after the Xinhai Revolution, a new name of "firefighting" has appeared, but the common people are used to using the name "Dragon Society" verbally.

Because the private houses and buildings in Hangzhou during this period are very dilapidated, grass fences and wooden canopies abound, once they encounter a fire, they are affected by disasters and the losses are particularly serious, especially in winter and spring, the weather is cold and gloomy, and the fires caused by the people in order to heat are very frequent, so there are water dragon clubs composed of firefighters in each neighborhood area, ready to rescue the fire at any time.

"Yes, the Dragons!" Lin Jiangbei nodded and said, "Principal Zhou, the students also thought about this just now. You should also know that most of the fire fighters in the Dragon Club are made up of able-bodied boothmakers, plasterers, and carpenters. Because they are not only good at climbing, but also have a better understanding of building structures, and know where to start when fighting fires. ”

Zhou Fengshan and Du Chenghu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Not really! How could they not have thought of this? There are indeed many carpenters and plasterers in the fire fighters in the Water Dragon Club, and the key is to be in good health.

Lin Jiangbei continued: "Captain Wang also arranged for someone to inquire about Cao Shangen before, whether it is Cao Shangen's own home or the Cao family ancestral hall, there is no plan to build wood to repair the house. And the suspicion of the carpenters and plasterers who were familiar with Cao Ah Da was also ruled out. Then I was thinking, can I assume that the murderer of Cao Ah Da was actually a plasterer or carpenter who had just met Cao Ah Da? ”

"If this is really the case, then what kind of plasterer and carpenter can open the door of the ancestral hall at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night and put him in not long after he just met Cao Ada?"

Lin Jiangbei asked himself: "The students think the answer is to be a carpenter or plasterer who works as a firefighter in the Water Dragon Club. Because in addition to fighting fires, they also regularly inspect buildings on the street to identify fire hazards. Maybe the murderer met Cao Adaa when he first inspected the fire hazards of the Cao family ancestral hall. It was also during that inspection that he saw more than a dozen ancestral tablets inlaid with gold leaf and sterling silver incense burners enshrined in the main hall of the ancestral hall, so that he could see wealth. ”

"Then he knocked on the door of the Cao family ancestral hall in the middle of the night three days ago, saying that in the process of patrolling the night, he found that there were sparks or flames in the Cao family ancestral hall, and tricked Cao Ada to open the door, and then strangled Cao Ada to death with a rope in the main hall, and stole the dozen ancestral tablets and sterling silver incense burners."

Hearing this, Zhou Fengshan slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "So now we just need to send someone to the Water Dragon Club in charge of the firefighting work in the Cao Family Ancestral Hall, and investigate which Wang Eight Lambs has been sent to the Cao Family Ancestral Hall to conduct a fire hazard inspection recently, as long as this Wang Eight Lambs is caught, the truth of the theft and murder case in the Cao Family Ancestral Hall will be revealed, right?" ”

"Students can't guarantee that 100 percent of the truth will be revealed," Lin Jiangbei said, "and it can only be said that there is a considerable possibility that the truth will be revealed." ”

"Jiangbei, Jiangbei, how did your brain melon seeds grow? That's fucking smart! Zhou Fengshan excitedly scolded a foul word, and slapped Lin Jiangbei's shoulder with his big hand, "Don't bother the two masters, I think I will take full responsibility for the investigation of the Water Dragon Society!" ”

Saying that, he couldn't tolerate Lin Jiangbei's refusal, and immediately shouted outside the conference room: "Ye Luping!" ”

"Here!" A calm and capable young policeman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked in from outside. Lin Jiangbei immediately recognized this young police officer as the driver who drove Zhou Fengshan's Buick sedan today.

Zhou Fengshan pointed to Ye Luping and introduced to Lin Jiangbei: "Jiangbei, his name is Ye Luping, he is my driver and my personal guard. I will now hand him over to your command. ”

Then Zhou Fengshan ordered Ye Luping, "Ye Luping, you immediately go to the service office to gather a team of policemen and follow Consultant Lin to handle the case." You must obey Advisor Lin's command throughout the whole process, and there must be no slackness, otherwise be careful that Lao Tzu plucks your skin! ”

Ye Luping has been by Zhou Fengshan's side for nearly five years, so he naturally understands his superior's temperament. Seeing that Zhou Fengshan said so solemnly, of course he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran out quickly to the service office to gather a team of policemen, and then the group of people under the leadership of Lin Jiangbei rushed to Yongjin Road with murderous spirit!
