Li Rusong put away the packing box, returned to the door of the dumpling restaurant, and saw me staring at him angrily, and asked me suspiciously, "What's that, old Cheng Ha, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"Packed dishes?" I tried to restrain my anger.

"Put it away, hehe. I also sent a message to my younger siblings saying that we should stop cooking at night and that we would bring the food back. Li Rusong replied with a smile.

"I ......"

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, let's get down to business, did the police station investigate today?" I've been completely defeated by him, saying that people can be shameless, but it is rare to be shameless to this level, so I don't think about it at all, let's take care of the case first.

When Li Rusong heard this, he cleaned up his tired expression and said, "It's not easy to get it, this piece of sewer pipe is very old, and Xiao Song didn't find the pipe layout diagram in the municipal company." There are also many private pipes, so it is difficult to determine how many households share pipes with dumpling restaurants. ”

"So what to do now?" I asked, frowning.

"What else can be done, roughly estimated that there may be a total of 17 households sharing the pipeline, and for the sake of insurance, the scope has been slightly expanded, and a total of 26 need to be investigated." As he spoke, he pulled me to the entrance of the small alley on the left hand side of the dumpling restaurant, pointed to the three people who were knocking on the door of a resident in the alley, and said, "The few people you saw, the two people wearing police uniforms are the police officers who should go out on Jinxiu Road, and the people wearing civilian clothes are people from the street."

"Not over yet?"

"How can it be so fast, every family has to go into the house to make some records, and they have to go around the house, so far almost half of the investigation." Li Rusong said helplessly and spread his hands.

I asked him worriedly, "Is it possible to alarm the murderer just by investigating this area?" I mean, the scope is too small, and it's a bit deliberate. ”

"Well, there is indeed a possibility, but in order to reduce the impact, a total of 10 police officers from the police station were dispatched this time, divided into 5 groups in combination with the people in the street, and conducted household inspections on the surrounding 246 households at the same time under the pretext of temporary resident investigation. And for the sake of secrecy, we also asked people on the other side of the street to cooperate for this reason, so it can be said that no one will know about it except for the police who know the real purpose."

After listening to his explanation, I suddenly realized that we had nothing to do, so he asked Li Rusong, "What can we do now?" It doesn't seem to matter. ”

Li Rusong took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, and said, "It's almost 3 o'clock now, I estimate that in about half an hour, their investigation today will be over, and the rest will continue tomorrow." Our main purpose is to be on standby and to intervene directly if something is discovered. But there is no time to play today, and after a while, we will go to the police station and summarize the situation of today's investigation and go back."

"Why did it end so early?"

"It's pretty much the same, they start at 10 a.m. and end at 3 or 4 p.m., which is a lot of work, and besides, you can expect these people to be like us?"

After listening to Li Rusong's words, I will smile in my heart, "Yes, I was arrested on the first day I came, and it is really not good to be a criminal policeman." ”

"Haha, you've only been here for a few days now, and you'll feel better later."

"Okay, we'll talk about that later. Don't stand stupidly, just sit in my car and wait," I smiled and pointed to the "warrior" parked across the street from the dumpling restaurant.

At the same time, Wu Shaodong and Chen Xinying were sitting in the office of the personnel manager of the lathe factory, questioning the person in charge of the factory.

"Officer Wu, these two files of Liu Chuangen and his wife Chen Dongmei, this one belongs to Jiang Jiahao." A man 50 miles away in overalls wearing a factory name printed on his right chest handed Wu Shaodong several personnel files.

Taking over the file, Wu Shaodong took a closer look, pointed to Jiang Jiahao's file and asked, "Manager Zhang, does this person have any impression and how does he usually behave?" ”

Manager Zhang looked at Jiang Jiahao's three words, recalled it, and then replied, "I have a little impression of this person, he has a good life, but his head is a little bad, and his relationship with colleagues is not good." I remember that he seemed to set a fire and burned a lot of people to death, and finally killed himself as well. ”

"How is the relationship between Jiang Jiahao and Liu Chuangen?"

"How can it be, his relationship with everyone is like that! I heard that Lao Liu and his wife were burned to death by Jiang Jiahao. Manager Zhang replied with a sigh.

Wu Shaodong nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Manager Zhang, some time before the fire, did Jiang Jiahao and Liu Chuangen have any conflicts?" ”

"I know this, because of the fire, I remember it quite clearly. It should be that on the day of the fire, Jiang Jiahao went to the finance room to quarrel with Chen Dongmei because of the bonus, saying that he had undercounted his bonus of dozens of yuan. I know Xiao Chen, the old cashier, and the salaries and bonuses of more than 100 people in the factory have always been handled safely. ”

Speaking of this, Manager Zhang stopped, took a sip of tea and continued to narrate, "It is estimated that Jiang Jiahao has poured too much horse urine again, pulling Chen Dongmei's clothes and yelling, and finally torn Chen Dongmei's clothes. ”

When Chen Xinying heard this, she stopped recording in her notebook and asked curiously, "Oh?" Can you still drink alcohol when you work in your factory? ”

Manager Zhang smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, that's what I said, how can I drink at work." ”

Chen Xinying looked at Manager Zhang suspiciously, obviously not believing.

Wu Shaodong coughed, not wanting to waste time on this kind of subsection, and motioned for Manager Zhang to continue.

Manager Zhang took a sip of water and continued, "That's where it is, oh, by the way, Chen Dongmei's clothes are torn." Chen Dongmei was torn off by Jiang Jiahao, so she ran to the workshop to find his man to complain. Liu Chuangen usually loves his wife the most, and when he saw his wife being bullied, he rushed to the finance room and scuffled with Jiang Jiahao. ”

"They fought?"

"yes, it's quite fierce."

Wu Shaodong became a little interested in listening to this, and said to him, "Manager Zhang, tell me more details." ”

Manager Zhang nodded and said, "Jiang Jiahao was hollowed out by wine, how could he be Lao Liu's opponent, he was quickly put down, and Lao Liu was pressed to the ground and beaten fatly, and he was slapped a few times during the period." However, Jiang Jiahao's temper was too stubborn, so he got up again and faced ......"

Hearing him start talking about the details of the fight like a book, the corners of Wu Shaodong's mouth twitched and said, "That...... Manager Zhang, needless to say, let's talk about the details of the fight, let's talk about how to deal with it in the future. ”

"Alright then, I won't talk about fights. Later, they were pulled away by their co-workers, and then both of them were punished, deducted 3 months' bonuses, and told them to go home to reflect. Alas, I didn't expect that it was for such an incident that the two families were torn apart. After speaking, Manager Zhang sighed with feeling.

After listening to this, Wu Shaodong frowned and asked him, "The people who were arguing at the time are still in the factory, are there still people in the factory?" ”

Manager Zhang said with some sadness, "It's all gone, the benefits are not good, the factory was shut down a few years ago, and the production line workers were basically dismissed." Now there are only a few of our management and 2 old men who watch the gate in the factory to live on rent, and now the factory workshops are rented out, and the people you see working in the factory are not from our factory. ”

Wu Shaodong knew that what Manager Zhang said was real, and the society had changed too much in the past ten or twenty years. Many small state-owned enterprises, such as lathe factories, have lost state support and are not in a good situation. So far, this factory has been able to hold its signboard and survive on rent, which is very fortunate compared to other factories that have disappeared.

Taking the transcript from Chen Xinying's hand, Wu Shaodong looked at it and found that there was nothing missing, so he got up and left the lathe factory.

After the conversation, Wu Shaodong called Li Rusong to ask about the situation, and learned that today's discovery was not big, and we were about to go back to the police station to count today's data, so he took care of us, and then hung up the phone and drove towards the city bureau with Chen Xinying.

"Brother-in-law, I feel that this case is so complicated, there are too many things involved, and my mind is a mess now." Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Xinying complained.

Wu Shaodong smiled and said optimistically, "In fact, there are obvious clues, although I still don't know the purpose and means of the murderer's crime, but through the investigation in the past few days, I feel that I am not far from revealing the truth." ”

"Oh? I didn't find it, I just felt like a mess. ”

"Hehe, Xiaoying, you are a tracer, and your specialty is to reproduce the case through the hidden clues left by the murderer at the scene. In fact, the reasoning is the same thing, and the truth of the case is deduced after sorting out different clues. Although the means of the two are different, they are both different from each other. ”

Chen Xinying thought about it and still didn't understand, so she asked Wu Shaodong suspiciously, "Brother-in-law, don't sell it, tell me about it."

Wu Shaodong smiled and said, "Actually, this case is simple and simple. Liu Jing is the breakthrough of the case, I don't think Liu Jing's disappearance is the starting point of the case, the real starting point is the arson case, and I have a feeling that Jiang Lina's mother and grandmother passed away unexpectedly, and things are not so simple. ”

"But brother-in-law, didn't Jiang Lina's mother commit suicide? Her grandmother's death was also an accident. Chen Xinying was a little dissatisfied with Wu Shaodong's reasoning.

"Then what do you think is the reason why Jiang Lina's mother kept saying that people died and debts disappeared before she committed suicide? Wouldn't anyone have said something to her? Is it really a coincidence that the woman surnamed Liu lost 50,000 yuan to Jiang Lina? A coincidence is normal, but it is difficult to say if there are many coincidences. ”

Chen Xinying glanced at Wu Shaodong, and said depressedly, "I asked you, brother-in-law, why did it turn around and you asked me!" It's a mysterious ...... all day long."

Wu Shaodong shook his head, didn't care about Chen Xinying's broken thoughts, and drove the car and said to himself, "When Huang Xiaosong finds out the family where Liu Jing lives, it's almost over." Hope you surprise me! ”
