"You have promised me just now, don't tell anyone about this kind of thing, and you can't mention it to Mao Dawei. Give him - save some face for us and the couple to be human - we still want to be good people! Speaking of this, Chen Hongmei's eyes were already overflowing with tears.

After listening to Chen Hongmei's narration, Zhao Zimeng was in a very uncalm mood. He never dreamed that during the investigation, he accidentally came into contact with Chen Hongmei and Mao Dawei's privacy and pain, which couldn't help but sigh!

"Comrade Public Security, don't embarrass Wei Degui, I just said that he helped us - give us money, not only the relationship between him and me, he pitied our husband and wife - he is not a bad person, for so many years, he has never forced me, it was all my own volition. Since I got married to Dawei, there has been Wei Degui left, and this- Dawei knows. ”

Whether what Chen Hongmei said is true or not, I have to find Wei Degui to verify. After the conversation ended, Zhao Zimeng sent Linghu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo to invite Wei Degui to No. 157.

Zhao Zimeng did this for two purposes: first, to further corroborate the information provided by Chen Hongmei; Second, let Aunt Li and Xiuqin identify each other to see if Wei Degui is the man in his fifties they saw five years ago.

After lunch, Linghu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo invited Wei Degui to No. 157.

At about half past one, a car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the neighbors paid enough attention to the car.

At this time, Lin Di and Lu Qian stood in front of Aunt Li's tea stove, and in addition to Aunt Li, there was also Wang Xiuqin standing with them.

Xiang Daimo walked out of the cab first, and then Wei Degui walked out of the car.

"Comrade Xiao Han, that's him—that's this person." Aunt Li said.

"Yes, that's him. Five years ago, it was he who drilled into the No. 157 yard repeatedly. Wang Xiuqin said.

Wei Degui wears a navy blue suit, and his age is in his sixties and a little small. His height is about 1.71 meters, only a little hair above the ears is left on his head, high cheekbones, big eye bags, and a thin figure, so he knows that he is a rich man at a glance.

Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo led Wei Degui into Impermanence Lane, and Lin Di and Lu Qian followed Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo through the stone road.

Lin Di nodded at Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo.

After two minutes, the questioning begins.

Zhao Zimeng was in charge of the inquiry, and Lin Di was in charge of the record.

"Give your name."

"My name is Wei Degui, 'De' is the 'De' of 'peace of mind', and 'Gui' is the 'Gui' of the rich.

"Age?"

"Sixty-two this year."

Five years ago, Wei Degui's age was fifty-seven years old, and Aunt Li and Wang Xiuqin's judgment of age was more accurate.

"What do you do?"

"I opened a jewelry store at the central gate."

"What is the relationship between you and Chen Hongmei?"

"W-don't you know? Chen Hongmei must have told you—otherwise, you wouldn't have found me. Wei Degui was reluctant to answer the question head-on.

"In 1986, did you come here to find Chen Hongmei?"

"I came to her, Comrade Public Security, I have that kind of relationship with Chen Hongmei, but she is willing to do it, as if she doesn't break any law!"

"Wei Degui, today, we invited you here to verify some questions, there is no other meaning, you don't have to be nervous, let alone have any concerns, you just need to answer truthfully."

"I'll be sure to answer your questions truthfully."

"How did you and Chen Hongmei meet?"

"That's—that's a bit of a long story. More than ten years ago, we met on the long-distance bus, the two of us sat next to each other, in the chat, I learned that she was a young intellectual, at that time, many young people have returned to the city, speaking of sadness, she cried - crying very sad, she is very beautiful, but her face is very haggard - at a glance you know that something has happened. ”

"I also heard about the crime of the female intellectuals in the countryside, although she didn't say anything, I could guess seven or eight points, so I decided to help her think of a way - to find someone."

"I have a relative who works in the city, he is very familiar, and his words have some weight, I found the secretary of the county party committee through him, and then found the two leaders of the Educated Youth Resettlement Office and the Labor Bureau through the secretary of the county party committee, and they gave me a recruitment quota. Comrade Public Security, can I smoke a cigarette? ”

There was a relatively large cigarette case in the pocket of Wei Degui's trousers—only a little corner was exposed, probably because he felt that it was inappropriate, so he kept holding it and didn't take out the cigarette case.

Wei Degui took out a very elaborate metal box from his trouser pocket, opened the box, and it was indeed a cigarette, but it was not an ordinary cigarette, but the kind of cigarette that Aunt Li and Wang Xiuqin said - cigar.

Linghu Yunfei was originally going to give Wei Degui a cigarette, but when he saw Wei Degui take out the iron box, he put his cigarette back on the coffee table.

Wei Degui took out his lighter, lit the cigar, and said, "The secretary surnamed Pan has done everything possible to obstruct it, and I have spent a lot of trouble!" ”

"Tell us about it."

"I thought that as long as I had that form, I would be able to bring Chen Hongmei back, but this was not the case. When I took the formalities to the commune to bring people - Chen Hongmei was in the commune's propaganda team at the time, but I didn't expect that the secretary of their commune, Pan, would obstruct it and obstruct it in every way. That's when I understood what was going on. ”

"Before, Chen Hongmei didn't mention the matter between her and Secretary Pan."

"Later, I asked my relatives to call the secretary of the county party committee of their county, and the secretary of the county party committee personally went to their commune, and then brought Chen Hongmei back to the city. Secretary Na Pan wants to possess Chen Hongmei for a long time, and is preparing to promote Chen Hongmei to be the captain of the propaganda team. ”

"How much money have you given Chen Hongmei? I'm talking about the larger amounts. ”

"There were two relatively large amounts. The first time it was 50,000 yuan, which I proposed myself, and I took a fancy to a yard - where the couple lived now, so I bought it and gave it to them. Once it was 20,000 yuan, Mao Dawei wanted to make stocks, but he didn't have any money on hand, so I gave him 20,000 yuan. ”

Later, I learned that Mao Dawei had lost thousands of yuan before, and last year, they listened to me, adopted a child, and life was tight. After that, he also thought of the stock market, and I advised him not to do it again, the stock market is risky, and there are very few people who make money after all, so Mao Dawei will give up. ”

"What's going on with motorcycles?"

"I bought the motorcycle on behalf of someone, it was a parallel import, and I only spent 6,000 yuan."

At this point, the investigation of Chen Hongmei and Mao Dawei was over. This is a little episode!

Of course, this little episode is not meaningless, after experiencing such an incident, both Chen Hongmei and Wei Degui decided to re-examine their past lives.

Wei Degui promised not to maintain the same relationship with Chen Hongmei in the future, but he was willing to help the couple financially if Chen Hongmei needed it. He also promised to help Mao Dawei find a serious job. In this way, the couple's life can go on normally.

At this point, the clue to the 157 homicide case was broken.

In the absence of a clue, that night, Zhao Zimeng and others, accompanied by Director Gu, went to the "guest often comes" to take a bath.

Lindy went home. Zhao Zimeng gave Lin Di a few days off, and Lin Di was about to get married, and the wedding date was set by Lin Di.

Ma Jianping also went home, tonight, Ma Jianping had a date, and this appointment was arranged by Zhao Zimeng. When there was nothing at hand, Zhao Zimeng tried to give Ma Jianping a little time. Zhao Zimeng is a person from the past, and investigating and handling cases is the mission of comrades, but it is not the whole of life.

"Ke Often" is one of the most famous bathhouses in the south of the old city, and Director Gu said that "Ke Often" has existed in his grandfather's generation.

Walk into a gate with a roof ridge - it is a gate with a curtain, and on the right hand is the ticket office, which should be called the sales office, which is made of bamboo, different prices, different halls, different halls, different chips. There is a woman sitting in a small doorway with a circle below, and a half-meter square price card is hung above the small doorway, which says three prices, three prices are suitable for the consumption level that is not used, and the No. 1 hall is a private seat, and the price is the highest.

The woman who sold the bath chips recognized Director Gu at a glance, and she put her head in the small door: "Director Gu, take a bath!" ”

"Yes! Come and soak and relieve fatigue. ”

"You don't need to buy a bath chip, I'll call Old Tang." The woman opened the door of the sales office, stood behind a curtain and said loudly, "Old Tang, you come out for a while." ”

"Here we are."

Director Gu took out the wallet from his pocket, opened the wallet, took out a fifty yuan bill from it, and put it into the small door: "Xiao Li, the old rules, Lao Tang is here, and he also wants to buy a bath chip." ”

The second door curtain was lifted - entering this door, there was a bathhouse inside, and out of it came a man about fifty years old, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and a bath towel underneath: "It's Director Gu!" Walk. Old Tang took out fifty yuan from the small door hole and stuffed it into Director Gu's pocket, "You are a rare guest, and I can't see you once a year to come to the 'guest often come', today is rare." ”

"No, it's because it's rare that I have to buy a bath chip."

After pushing each other for a while, Old Tang couldn't resist Director Gu - he had to give in.

After Director Gu took the bath chip, he followed Lao Tang into the second door and entered the No. 1 hall.

Old Tang settled everyone, muttered a few words to the running hall, and went to busy with his own affairs.

After a while, the runner put a few cups of tea on the coffee table.

There is a wall clock on the wall, and the time is 7:35. The attendance rate of No. 1 has reached seven or eight, and everyone has greeted Director Gu. After that, they sat together in twos and threes and muttered quietly. From their eyes, they could guess that they were talking about the case at 157 Impermanence Lane.

Everyone enjoyed it very much, took off their clothes, took towels, and went out of Hall 1, opposite the bathhouse. Comrades are busy working on cases all day long, and there is very little such leisure time.
