"Team Liu."

Liu Pancheng was stopped before he reached the white van, and it was none other than Wang Kui, the detective of the serious crime team, who arrived at the scene of the crime one step ahead of Liu Pancheng. Due to the demands of the job, the officers of the squad usually rarely wear police uniforms, even during working hours. They usually wear a badge on their chest to identify themselves as police officers.

Liu Pancheng's footsteps paused slightly, then quickly turned and walked towards Wang Kui. Standing with Wang Kui was also a man in civilian clothes, with a square face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and big eyes, similar to Liu Pancheng.

"Brother." When the man saw Liu Pancheng walking towards them, he opened his mouth to greet them.

"What brother is not brother, call Team Liu during work hours." Liu Pancheng reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

The reprimanded person barely squeezed out a smile at Liu Pancheng, cleared his throat in embarrassment, and did not refute it.

"Hey, there are no outsiders here, they are all my own brothers." As if feeling the awkward atmosphere in the air, Wang Kui looked at this and then at that, trying his best to adjust the atmosphere between the two, "Team Liu, you are really, just a title, why be so serious?" Liu: You said yes, right? ”

The "Liu Suo" in Wang Kui's mouth is Liu Panneng, the director of the Xincheng District Police Station, and Liu Pancheng's younger brother, and the two are four years apart.

"Hmm." Liu Panneng replied noncommittally.

While speaking, Liu Pancheng was already standing in front of the two, he looked Liu Panneng up and down, and then asked, "You came directly from home?" ”

"yes." Liu Panneng replied in a proper manner.

"When did you arrive?"

"Half an hour ago!"

Liu Pancheng raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and the hands showed that the current time was 9:05.

Seeing that Liu Pancheng did not continue to ask questions, Liu Panneng said on his own: "At about eight o'clock this morning, I was about to set off from home, when I suddenly received a call from the duty window of the office, someone came to the office to report that a cash transport truck was robbed. ”

Liu Pancheng nodded while listening: "What's the situation here now?" ”

Liu Panneng raised his chin at the location of the white van and said, "That van is the vehicle used by Xinfa Bank to escort money." After we received the report, we immediately sent the police to the scene to check ......" Liu Panneng led Liu Pancheng to the vehicle as he spoke, "According to our preliminary understanding, the time of the crime should be between half past seven and seven fifty. The bank staff told us that the cash trucks usually depart at around 7:30, and we received the report at around 7:50. In other words, the entire crime process was in this short twenty minutes, which was very short. ”

"These people are steady and ruthless, either they are masters of crime, or they are prepared in advance." Wang Kui interjected viciously on the side.

Liu Panneng glanced at Liu Pancheng obliquely, and saw that his face was blue and silent, so he continued: "There were three victims at the scene, two were located around the body, and one was in the car. Among them, two people outside the car, one of them rushed down and lay down near the front of the car, and the other fell sideways near the rear of the car. The man in the car leaned out of the window and hung on the window. We quickly called an ambulance from a nearby hospital to resuscitate the three men. When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics examined each of the three and told us that none of them had any vital signs. Just now, the forensic doctor also arrived at the scene, did a preliminary examination, and determined that all three died on the spot after being hit in the brain with a blunt object. ”

"Are the identities of the three confirmed?" Liu Pancheng asked in a hoarse voice.

"It has been verified, and the three are Liu Wentao, an accountant of Xinfa Bank, Li Jianguo, a security guard, and Wei Guofu, a driver."

After Liu Pancheng turned his head to look at the surrounding environment of the crime scene, he continued to ask: "Who came to report the crime?" How did the man find out about the crime scene? ”

"The person who reported the crime was an employee of Xinfa Bank, and she found it when she was passing by here on her way to work." Liu Panneng replied 1510.

"On the way to work?" Liu Pancheng looked at Liu Panneng suspiciously, "Isn't Xinfa Bank on Chaoyang Avenue?" It's so remote, how did she come here? ”

"The business hall of the Yangcheng branch of Xinfa Bank is indeed on Chaoyang Avenue, but there is another building there that is the administrative building of Xinfa Bank, and most of the staff in the bank who are engaged in back-office settlement business are working there." Liu Panneng pointed to a small road behind him as he spoke.

Liu Pancheng looked in the direction of Liu Panneng's finger, nodded clearly, and continued to ask, "How far is the administrative building from here?" ”

"It's not far, walk about two hundred meters along this small road."

"So close?" Liu Pancheng thought for a moment, "Isn't there anyone on the other side of the building who found out that such a big thing happened here?" ”

"We've noticed that, too." Wang Kui interjected, "So we went there to investigate as soon as possible." Because it was not yet time to go to work at the time of the incident, most of the employees had not yet arrived, except for the personnel who were responsible for cash delivery and escort that day, so no one in the building noticed the movement here. In addition, there is an old janitor......"

"Have you asked him? Did he find anything? Liu Pancheng couldn't wait to ask.

"I haven't found anything for the time being, but our people have already taken him to the office to make a record." Liu Panneng replied.

"How could there be no discovery? The place of the crime was only two or three hundred meters away from the gate he was guarding, and three people were killed at the scene, such a big case, the suspect would definitely make some noise when committing the crime, and he couldn't have heard nothing at such a close distance, right? Liu Pancheng said in disbelief.

"In fact, he was not on the job at the time of the crime." Liu Panneng further explained, "He had some diarrhea this morning, and he happened to go to the toilet when the crime occurred......"

"There is no other janitor besides him? It's impossible for such an important place to have only one person to watch the door, right? Liu Pancheng asked a little speechlessly.

"We've already asked about this as well. Originally, there were two sets of guards in the guard room, in addition to the old man who guarded the door, there were also three shifts of security guards, and the old man usually worked from 8 am to 4 pm. Recently, however, due to a shortage of manpower, they have made some adjustments to their staffing arrangements. During the day, only the old man was left to guard, and the time was from 6 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the evening, a total of 12 hours. The night shift from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. is still guarded by security guards on a rotating basis. ”

"Why do you want to make such an arrangement?" Liu Pancheng asked very puzzled.

"There aren't enough people." After Liu Panneng gave a brief answer, he found that Liu Pancheng was still looking at him with a confused face, so he continued, "A while ago, there was an influenza epidemic within Xinfa Bank, and the bank staff infected each other, and a group of people fell, many of whom were security guards. ”

Wang Kui looked up at the sky helplessly and sighed: "This year's weather is really demonic. It has been raining since the beginning of winter, making everything wet, and you may not believe it, but my quilt can be wrung out of water. ”

"Me too, I always feel that this body is not refreshing, as if a mushroom can grow at any time." Liu Panneng said.

The two laughed together, "hey, hey, hey".

"It's a rare good day, but the cold air is still moving south, and the temperature plummets. Who took this? There are also many police officers in our office who are sick and ask for leave. After laughing, Liu Panneng continued to complain.

"It's the same in our team." Wang Kui responded, "And the kid at home, who also contracted the flu from school two days ago, had a high fever of 39 degrees, and I didn't dare to ask him to ask for leave, for fear of delaying his studies, so I had to force him to go to class during the day, and then go to the hospital at night for an intravenous drip." ”

As they spoke, the two sighed for a long time.

Liu Pancheng, who had been silent, saw that the two of them were talking about the topic farther and farther away, so he had to interrupt: "Don't talk about topics that have nothing to do with the case." ”

When the other two heard this, they were immediately silenced.

"How long are they going to do this?" Liu Pancheng looked at the small road where the administrative building of Xinfa Bank was located.

"It is said that such an arrangement is only temporary, and it will not exceed two weeks at most." Liu Panneng replied.

"Two weeks?" Liu Pancheng muttered to himself, then turned to Liu Panneng, and stared at him firmly with a pair of bright eyes, "When did Xinfa Bank start adjusting its shifts?" ”

"Today ......" Liu Panneng replied a little uncomfortably and with a little ignorance, "Today is the first day of the implementation of the new shift. ”

Liu Pancheng's pupils shrank suddenly, "Why is this so coincidental?" ”

"Team Liu, are you suspicious of something?" Wang Kui keenly captured the change in Liu Pancheng's expression.

The professional acumen he had cultivated over the years had made him realize that there seemed to be some relevance. Today is the first day of the implementation of the new shift system, and on this day a shocking case occurred; There was originally only one person left in the door where there should have been two handles, and this person was not on duty at the time of the crime. Are all these strange things really just a coincidence? Or is there something else going on?
