"The deceased's name is Cai Tuda, and he is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today. Huang Yanfei was holding a mobilization meeting in the police station in Linhai Town, and what he said was almost the basic information of the deceased plus Chen Yiyan's analysis before. Chen Yiyan and Yu Yuqian sat on the sidelines as advisers.

"I'm a consultant now, too." Yu Yuqian showed Chen Yiyan the documents in her hand.

In Chen Yiyan's eyes, Yu Yuqian has always emitted some kind of special light, and it has never been extinguished. "Yes, hello, Advisor Yu." "Hehe, hello Advisor Chen."

The mobilization meeting lasted for half an hour before it ended, and the police officers who came to the meeting had already met this morning. The number of criminal police squadrons in the Linhai Town Police Station is not very large, and judging from the people at the meeting, there are only twelve people counting Huang Yanfei. The case has not been confirmed to be a murder, so it has not been investigated by the police station in the upper application district.

The employees in the police station seemed to be doing a good lunch, which was very much in line with Yu Yuqian's appetite. After lunch, Chen Yiyan was going to go to Dongdi Village again and ask the eight families.

The police car drove over the bridge where they had come and came to the house of the first family. The eight households in Dongdi Village are on either side of the concrete path, with five on the left, three on the right, and the pond on the right where Cai Tuda's body was found.

"Consultant Chen, Consultant Yu, I'll send it here, I'll go back to the office to deal with some official documents." The officer seemed reluctant to follow the duo into questioning the villagers.

"Okay, then you go back first, and then we'll go back by ourselves after we ask." Since the other party opened his mouth like this, Chen Yiyan pushed the boat and let the other party leave.

"Don't we all have to follow the police when handling cases?" Yu Yuqian asked.

Chen Yiyan looked at her: "When have you seen me follow the police when I was handling a case?" ”

The big watery eyes swirled in the sockets, and finally looked at Chen Yiyan's eyes: "By the way, it's the police who follow you to handle the case." ”

"Hey, hey." Chen Yiyan made a pleasant voice from the depths of his throat: "I felt strange just now, some of these eight families had their doors open, but no one came to watch the scene. Yu Yuqian thought back to the situation in the morning, and it was indeed just as Chen Yiyan said.

Chen Yiyan first knocked on the door of the first house on the left, which was a newly renovated security door, and no one in the house responded. The same is true for the second family. Door after house, until the last one on the right, someone finally opened the door. It was an old man who opened the door, and Chen Yiyan could see the blood vessels under the skin from his dark and loose skin.

"Who are you?" The old man asked.

"Hello uncle, the two of us are consultants at the police station, what do you call them?"

"Advisor? My name is Cai Ankang, what are you looking for me? "Uncle has seen the documents displayed by the two.

"Is it convenient for us to come into the house and talk?"

"If there's anything you have, ask now." Cai Ankang stood in front of the two, and there was no sign of inviting the two to talk.

"I want to ask if you know that there is a dead person in the pond next to you?"

The old man didn't seem to care about Cai Tuda's death. "Cai Tuda's kid, it's not surprising that I'm dead."

"He died in the pond next door to you, did you hear anything last night?"

"What's the matter, I watched TV at home all night, or did you know that the dead man was in the police car in the morning?"

"Then you didn't show up for last night's party?"

"What to attend. They drink and chat, what am I doing with an old man. ”

"Do you know the other seven families?"

"Recognize. I don't know how I know a village. ”

"Do you know what they're doing now?"

"Go to work, can you still do it?"

"Then one last question, did you watch TV at home alone last night, can anyone prove it?"

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that I killed Cai Tuda's little deflated three? ”

The old man's mood rose, "No, no, no, we're just doing a routine, just asking." ”

"I'm an old man who can kill anyone, I can't even go out to sea to catch fish now. If you want to find the murderer, you might as well ask the debtor. ”

"Debt collector?"

"That kid was gambling outside and owed a lot of money. Are you all else? I'll close the door if it's okay. ”

"Okay, then Uncle will bother you next time." The old man didn't speak, and just closed the door.

"This uncle is so uncooperative, no wonder the police officer is unwilling to follow us to ask." Yu Yuqian's joy of becoming a consultant was washed away by the uncle's non-cooperation.

Chen Yiyan agrees with her. "It's true that I've encountered someone who doesn't let me in, but it's the first time I've encountered such a non-cooperative. Just now when he talks about the deceased, you don't pay attention to his expression. ”

"It seems to be very disgusting." Yu Yuqian recalled.

"That's right, this dead man shouldn't be treated much by the people of the village."

"Didn't Captain Huang say that the eight families can be regarded as relatives of the deceased."

"There are also relatives who have a bad relationship, but even if this old man is unwilling to cooperate, he still gave us some clues."

"Debt collector!"

Now that Cai Ankang, the only one in the eight households, has finished asking, and the village has not stayed any longer, Chen Yiyan is ready to start investigating the debt collector in the old man's mouth.

asked Huang Yanfei in the police station, and the two found someone in the town who was in the business of loan sharks.

The development of the coastal town has been very good in recent years, and there are a variety of shops on the side of the road, but there is such a house that is incompatible with the surrounding large window buildings, which is a narrow entrance, with concrete steps leading to the second floor, and a handwritten sign on the entrance: Cai Yong Credit.

Before they could go upstairs, they smelled tobacco in their noses, and the scolding of the man upstairs came from their ears.

"Knock knock." The voices inside the security door fell silent.

"Who? Borrowed money? Footsteps approached, and then a sleek middle-aged man wearing a gold necklace opened the door.

"Borrow money?" The man repeated it again.

Chen Yiyan and Yu Yuqian showed their documents, and the other party invited them indoors.

"Let me finish this call." The man laughed. "I have to pay it back tomorrow, and I'll give you an extra month!" The man hung up the phone in a huff. Then he switched to looking at the two of them with a smile.

"What are the two advisors looking for?"

"You're Cai Yong."

"Yes, yes, I am Cai Yong."

"Have you ever lent money to a guy named Cai Tuda?" Chen Yiyan did not use the word usury, although everyone knew it.

"Cai Tuda? I remember this person, the one from Dongdi Village. Why are you here to help him pay off his debts? Let me see. Cai Yong began to look through the account books on the table to himself. The total amount of interest is forty-eight thousand. ”

"We're not here to pay off the debt, we're here to ask if you've seen him lately."

"No, this person has paid back a sum of money last month, and this month's deadline hasn't expired yet. What's wrong? He's not going to be locked up and can't get money, so let you inform me. ”

"It's not that he asked us to inform you, it's just that he may not be able to change the money."

Cai Yong, who was smiling and welcoming, heard this, and the expression on his face suddenly reversed: "What? Can't change money? Where is he? ”

"He's dead."

"Dead? Fool whom? Cai Yong, who was competing for money when he heard it, didn't believe the words of the two at first, but thinking of the identity of the other party, he suddenly realized something. He stabilized his emotions and said in a thief's tone, "Really dead? ”

"It's really dead, otherwise why would we come to you and ask him about his situation?" Chen Yiyan motioned for Yu Yuqian to start recording. "Where are you tonight?"

"My wife and I are at home. No, comrade policeman, you don't suspect me. ”

"Firstly, we are police advisers, and secondly, we are conducting a routine investigation. Did Cai Tuda repay the money on time? ”

"This, this he will come to repay the money every month, but he will repay some interest, but every time he repays a little, he will borrow a little more. You should also know that he is idle all day long, and occasionally he will come to me to make up for it when he earns some money, which is much better than the other old men. ”

"Do you know who else he asked to borrow money?"

"Well, I don't think so."

"Okay, that last question, do you know where he made his money?" Seeing Cai Yong's unknowing expression, before he spoke, Chen Yiyan continued: "I mean gambling. ”

Cai Yong immediately pointed to Yu Yuqian, who was making notes. "Don't worry, we won't record this." "It's in a mahjong parlor in town."

"This Cai Yong doesn't seem to have anything to do with Cai Tuda's death." On the way to the mahjong hall, Yu Yuqian said.

"Well, his reaction and performance really don't look like that."

The mahjong parlor is located in an apartment in the town, and the sound of shuffling cards can be heard in broad daylight.

"Do you know Cai Tuda?" Finding a person who seemed to be in charge, Chen Yiyan showed his ID and asked.

"Yes."

"When did he come?"

"You just came here the night before yesterday? What's wrong? ”

Chen Yiyan glanced at one of the winners in the room who was collecting money.

"How much do you gamble at this table?"

Thinking of the identity of the other party, the steward did not speak. Chen Yiyan continued: "If it exceeds 1,000, it is considered a crowd gambling, and I think that gentleman just now seems to have collected more than 1,000 money." ”

The steward hurriedly waved his hand: "We are just a small gamble, don't you want to ask Cai Tuda about it, you can ask casually." ”

"How long does Cai Tuda usually stay here?"

"I usually stay from morning to about eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening."

"Does he play two by himself?"

"Sometimes he plays, I tell you, he doesn't have that much money. Sometimes they ask me if I have borrowed money. ”

"Have you borrowed money? So did he have it back? ”

"It was a little bit past me."
