After eight o'clock in the evening, Li Ziqiang came to the Xincheng District Police Station, and Liu Pancheng personally received him in the conference room on the second floor.

Liu Pancheng saw Li Ziqiang for the first time, and he inevitably had to look this person up and down. Li Ziqiang is a tall and thin man, with a long face, a pointed chin, a long neck, and a pair of shaved shoulders.

"Comrade policeman, what are you calling me for this time?" Li Ziqiang stood at the door of the conference room, and when he saw that the people inside were all looking at him, he didn't say hello, so he had to ask nervously.

"Come in and talk about it!" Liu Pancheng pointed to a chair in front of him and said expressionlessly.

"If you still ask about Pan Wang, I already told you everything I knew last time." Li Ziqiang said as he slowly moved forward, "I really don't have anything to explain." ”

"I haven't asked anything! How dare you conclude that you don't know anything? Liu Pancheng asked rhetorically.

"Don't bother, come and sit down." Deputy Director Qu urged impatiently.

In addition to Liu Pancheng and his follower in the conference room, there was also Deputy Director Qu and a policeman who had interrogated Li Ziqiang before. Li Ziqiang saw that Liu Pancheng and Deputy Director Qu were both domineering when they were talking, and the policeman who had interrogated him before was holding a pen in his hand and a notepad on his lap, sitting aside without saying a word, he expected that Liu and Qu should be the biggest officials among these people, so he quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, shook off the shriveled cigarette shell, and walked quickly in front of Liu Pancheng.

"Leader, smoke a cigarette."

Liu Pancheng pushed away Li Ziqiang's hand and said in a deep voice: "I don't smoke. ”

Seeing this, Li Ziqiang handed over the cigarette shell to Deputy Director Qu. Deputy Director Qu didn't say anything, just waved his hand. Li Ziqiang had no choice but to hand a cigarette to the policeman who had interrogated him. The man waved his hand again and again. Seeing that it was about to be his turn, Xiao Nei hurriedly said, "I don't know how to smoke." ”

After a circle, no one accepted his kindness, Li Ziqiang stupidly took back the cigarette shell and honestly sat down on the chair in front of Liu Pancheng.

"I'll cut it short." Liu Pancheng's opening remarks were simple and straightforward, "I am the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, my surname is Liu, you can call me Team Liu." ”

"Team Liu is good, Team Liu is good." Li Ziqiang said earnestly.

"The person next to me is Deputy Director Qu of the Xincheng District Police Station." Liu Pancheng pointed to his side.

"The song is good, the song is good." Li Ziqiang accompanied the smiling face and called again.

"There's something else to know about calling you here today."

Liu Pancheng's words were very polite, but this time Li Ziqiang didn't dare to speak casually, and just now he touched a soft nail to make him learn to behave. Moreover, he already knew Liu Pancheng's identity, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Liu Pancheng saw that Li Ziqiang was waiting for his next words without saying a word, so he said again: "You have been in contact with Pan Wang before, so you are familiar with him, right?" ”

"It's not very familiar." Li Ziqiang said cautiously, "We are both contractors, and we are on the same construction site, and we are more or less familiar with each other. ”

"How big is the territory of this Yang City, you are also an old Jianghu, don't say this kind of foolish words in front of us." Deputy Director Qu has an insightful look on the world.

"How dare I fool you police?" Li Ziqiang smiled and said, "Pan Wangyuan is not in Yangcheng, and he has been a contractor for nearly three or four years, if it weren't for this project of Yanfei Road, I really don't know him." ”

"How long did it take for this project on Yanfei Road to be built from the start to the stoppage?" Liu Pancheng asked.

Li Ziqiang said: "With the half-year period of the shutdown, a total of two and a half years before and after. ”

"In other words, you have been in contact with Pan Wang for two and a half years."

"It all adds up, that's pretty much it."

"Do you have any personal contact with Pan Wang, except for the contact outside the construction site?"

The facial nerves on Li Ziqiang's face tightened unconsciously, and he said with a little stumbling: "I didn't have much contact in the first two years, but in the past six months, we have met in private a few times because of the matter of asking for wages. I, Pan Wang, and several other contractors, we advocate that all construction workers should unite and work together to discuss countermeasures. ”

"Where are your meetings going?"

"There's no fixed place, just find a street restaurant and talk about things while drinking."

"You're quite comfortable with it, who will pay for the restaurant now?" Deputy Director Qu forked.

"To each his own, that's the fairest." Li Ziqiang said solemnly, "It is not easy for everyone to make money, and now they are all in a difficult period, no one should take advantage of anyone." ”

"Do you choose a different restaurant every time you meet?" Liu Pancheng brought the topic back on track.

"No, it's mainly about choosing a small restaurant that is affordable and cost-effective." Li Ziqiang said "hehe" and smiled.

"Do you go there often?"

"Nothing particularly frequented. We didn't meet many times on our own, only a dozen or so in total. Li Ziqiang peeked at Liu Pancheng, and saw that he was not satisfied with his answer, so he quickly added, "There is such a small restaurant, we have been to it three times. ”

"What's the name of the restaurant? Where is the address? ”

"I can't remember the exact address." Li Ziqiang scratched the thinning hair on the top of his head and tried to recall, "This small restaurant was recommended by Pan Wang, and he leads the way every time we go, so we just have to follow him." ”

"I don't understand your inconsistencies." Deputy Director Qu sharply accused, "Just now you said that every time you meet, you choose to be in a small restaurant, and now you say that the small restaurant is taken by Pan Wang, and you don't know its address." I wondered, the construction site has been stopped, where were you before you went to the restaurant? And what are you doing there? ”

Li Ziqiang was taken aback, and quickly explained: "I'm not educated, and I can't even speak clearly. Well, during that time, we were demonstrating on the construction site with the construction workers, so we would usually gather there and wait for the march to disperse before going to the restaurant. ”

"Is that restaurant close to the construction site?" Liu Pancheng asked.

"Not close, in the old town."

"So far? How did you get there? ”

"I went in Pan Wang's van." Li Ziqiang replied truthfully.

"No wonder you know he has a white Jinbei van and knows the license plate number." Deputy Director Qu quipped.

"Isn't it?" Li Ziqiang raised his head quite smugly.

"You should know where that tavern is near the old town, right?" Liu Pancheng asked again.

"In the vicinity of Lao Cai, I really don't know which small road it is." Li Ziqiang instantly changed into a bitter gourd face, and his facial features were distorted, "It's like a maze, I turn every time I go." ”

"I still remember the sign of the restaurant, right?" Liu Pancheng teased unceremoniously.

Li Ziqiang smiled bitterly and said shyly: "Lao Wu's home-cooked food, I remember that it was the name." ”

"Have you written it all?" Liu Pancheng turned his head to the policeman who handled the case at the Xincheng District Police Station and asked, and after seeing that the other party nodded while recording quickly, he asked Li Ziqiang again, "As far as you know, in addition to having dinner with you contractors, who does Pan Wang usually have close contact with?" ”

Li Ziqiang scratched his ears and cheeks again, and thought for a while before he reluctantly asked: "He is a boring person, he usually doesn't like to talk much, and he never takes the initiative to make friends with outsiders." The most I saw him mingling with his own group of workers. ”

"In the past six months, have you seen any strange faces around him?" Liu Pancheng still did not give up, and kept digging Li Ziqiang's memory.

"When I said that, I really remembered, it seems that there is such a person."

Everyone in the room was stirred up by his words.
