Chapter 15: The Night Detective
Gao Ge walked out with two glasses of wine and handed Wu Ping a glass. He is a little older than Wu Ping, he joined the company earlier and has older qualifications, but for work, he lacks the passion and drive in Wu Ping's bones, especially in the investigation of cases, his way of thinking and logical reasoning ability are much inferior to Wu Ping. In front of Wu Ping, he does not love to rely on the old and sell the old like others, but admires and loves him from the bottom of his heart. It can be said that Gao Ge is a big fan of Wu Ping.
"Because of the case, right?" Gao Ge and Wu Ping have worked together for many years, and he knows Wu Ping.
Wu Ping touched Gao Ge's wine glass and drank it in one gulp, "Yes." On the surface, all the clues now point to Li Chuang, but there are still too many unclear explanations. ”
"So now we should go all out to arrest Li Chuang, once Li Chuang is caught, everything can be solved."
"Even if you catch Li Chuang, the result may not be as you and I want. Moreover, before Li Chuang is caught, we can't do nothing but arrest him, at least, I have to figure out the doubts in my heart. ”
"Can you be specific?" Gao Ge looked at Wu Ping.
"I've been thinking that Li Chuang's choice to kill Cao Guisheng during the day and in his room is very unwise, why should he set a fire? The purpose of destroying the corpse is bound to be unattainable, so there is no need to do so. Doing this would not be good enough to buy him more time to escape. Don't forget Li Chuang's former identity, he is our senior. Unless the murderer doesn't want us to know the true identity of the deceased, at least he can't find out quickly. Wu Ping shook the empty cup in his hand and motioned for Gao Ge to pour another glass.
Wu Ping finished drinking half and continued, "Li Chuang made a catapult from Yuan Man, the owner of the blacksmith shop, to kill Zhou Guoqiang, he should have reached some kind of agreement with Yuan Man, at least, he is sure that Yuan Man will not betray him." According to Yuan Man's confession you got, he was forced to write the report letter with his fingerprint, which shows that he did not report voluntarily, so will Yuan Man and Li Chuang be accomplices? And who would be the person who sneaked into the blacksmith shop in the middle of the night to force Yuan Man to write a report letter? Could it be that it is just explained as a hero who draws a sword to help when he sees injustice? Since he covered his face, he didn't want Yuan Man to see his appearance clearly, and from this point he speculated that he should ask Yuan Man to hide the fact that he was being persecuted, but Yuan Man said that the person asked him to tell us all the truth. It's puzzling. ”
"So what do you think? This is important and will directly determine the direction of action for all of us in the future. Gao Ge agreed with Wu Ping's speculation, but he was also ashamed of himself, he couldn't think of this. But whatever, with Wu Ping here, you don't need to worry too much about everything.
According to the current clues, Li Chuang's killing of Zhou Guoqiang can basically be determined, and it is not certain whether he killed Wu Changan. As for the ...... between Li Chuang and Cao Guisheng I always feel that the person who died in the security room is not necessarily Cao Guisheng. ”
Gao Ge opened his mouth wide in surprise, and couldn't close it for a long time, "The person who was burned to death was not Cao Guisheng?" Who would that be? This...... That...... How to explain the tape and Cao Guisheng's suicide note? ”
"Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much......" Wu Ping couldn't explain clearly for a while.
At this time, Lu Qingqing came out and invited the two leaders to go in for a drink.
This topic can only be temporarily stopped. Wu Ping walked inside, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he turned around, "So, Gao Team, explain to the brothers, while Li Chuang is wanted, you must not relax the investigation of the mystery of Cao Guisheng's life and death." And, in secret. ”
The Public Security Bureau of the Reform City has approved the arrest of Li Chuang throughout the city and has requested the assistance of the public security bureaus of the neighboring cities and counties. In less than a day, the documents on Li Chuang's arrest were successively conveyed to the police officers of all detachments of the city bureau and the public security bureaus (sub-bureaus) of all districts and counties, as well as the police stations under their jurisdiction, and posted them in all public places throughout the city.
A tight net is overwhelming, Li Chuang, where can he escape.
When the bell rang at the end of class, Xu You gave a math test to the students in the fifth class of the third grade of junior high school. The third year of junior high school is the graduating class, and the graduation exam is very important for them and sometimes determines the fate of a person's life. There are not many opportunities for rural children to get out of the mountains, and even fewer can go out of the mountains in the scenery. After graduation, you can not only get a good unit, but also change the fate of yourself and even your family. However, the results of this test were not satisfactory, and less than 60% of the class passed. Is the question too difficult? Xu Yu asked himself.
He was a little annoyed.
"Xu You." Yu Chili called out to him from behind.
Xu You was thinking about the problem, but he didn't hear it, and walked straight forward. "Teacher Xu." Yu Chili hurried up and slapped him on the shoulder, and then a hearty laugh sounded.
"Oh, Mr. Wei Chi, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it, is there something wrong?" Xu You turned her head to look at Yu Chili, and she smiled brightly.
"Why are you always so cold?" Yu Chili suppressed her smile and frowned. "Well, I'll show you something." After speaking, he handed Xu Yu a document.
"Wanted?" Xu You's eyes were full of document numbers.
"That's right, the wanted warrant, you read it first."
Xu You quickly finished reading, "The murderer is Li Chuang?" This...... How can it be...... Totally unacceptable. Li Chuang's portrait is printed on the top, and below is the specific text of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's wanted Li Chuang, "Where did you get it?" ”
"Principal Geng's office. They were about to post it on the notice board, and I took one. No one dared to believe that Li Chuang would be the murderer. ”
Xu You looked at it carefully from beginning to night, and the text did not mention who Li Chuang killed, but only said that he was seriously suspected of a series of murders in Guangong Town Middle School, and he has absconded. When Xu You saw the word absconding, his head buzzed, and he felt that his eyes were black. His chest was tight, and he propped his hands against the wall, gasping for breath twice.
"Xu You, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?" Yu Chili asked with concern, leaning closer to his arm.
"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous all of a sudden." Xu You barely squeezed out a smile.
"You are so timid, Li Chuang has already escaped, and he will not kill again, you don't have to be afraid."
Afraid? Of course, Xu You was not afraid.
Li Chuang absconded, which means that he is still alive. He is alive, so who is the person who died in the school security room? Xu Yu broke into the blacksmith shop at night to force Yuan Man to write a confession, the purpose of which was to tell the police that Zhou Guoqiang was killed by Li Chuang, and to blame him for Wu Changan's death. Since Li Chuang has died in the guard room, in this way, everything will come to an end, and no one will trace down Xu You and Cao Guisheng in the future.
However, Li Chuang is still alive. This is what Xu You did not expect.
Who was the man who died in the security room? Cao Guisheng. Xu You's first thought was Cao Guisheng. "How so. Didn't Uncle Cao add rat poison to Li Chuang's tea? He didn't live the next day. No, you need to go to the county seat as soon as possible. ”
As early as two days ago, Xu You planned to go to the county seat to find Cao Guisheng. He departed from school and walked to the town station to catch the last shuttle. But the car didn't go far, so he stopped the driver and got out. His instincts told him that someone was following him. Soon after he came out of school, he realized this, and later the man got on the same train.
Xu You's instincts were not wrong. Wu Ping told the police stationed in Guangong Town to pay close attention to the actions of school teachers, especially young male teachers, and if there are new teachers before the murder, they need to be even more careful.
Xu You is the object of their focus.
"Teacher Yu Chi......" Xu You broke free from Yu Chili's support, "Can you do me a favor?" ”
"Absolutely." Xu You is a person who basically does not have too close contact with others, let alone ask for help. Now, he took the initiative to speak, is it a sign of treating her as a close friend? When Yu Chili thought so, she was already full of joy.
"After school today, I want to go to the county seat to do something important. You know, the last shuttle bus to the county seat departs at 5 o'clock, and it is usually in time. But today I want to make up the exam for students......" Xu You spread out the test paper in his hand, "almost half of them failed. So, want to borrow your bike. ”
"Bikes? No, it's too far. ”
"Oh. I'm still very grateful to Mr. Wei Chi, and I'll ask others to see it. Xu Yu walked forward.
"You're thinking wrong." Yu Chili caught up, "It's not that I won't lend it to you." It takes at least three and a half hours to travel more than 50 kilometers from the school to the county seat by bicycle. Today happens to be Friday, I'm going home, you come with me, call a car to pick me up. ”
"Thank you so much for that. Also, I'll be waiting for you at the three-way intersection. ”
"Isn't it good to get on the bus right at the school gate?"
"This ...... I don't want anyone to see me in your car. If you can, I'll be waiting for you at the three-way intersection. ”
Yu Chili nodded, why didn't she agree. She understands Xu You's behavior as the initial stage of a romantic relationship, and the shyness of not wanting to be known by too many people before it is determined.
After the make-up exam, Xu You packed up, walked out of the school gate, and walked on the country road, he knew a shortcut to the three-way intersection. Choosing not to get on the bus at the school gate naturally does not want to be seen by too many people, and the police force staring at the school should not have been withdrawn; The country road is a place frequented by people who walk, and even if someone sees him, it doesn't matter, "Mr. Xu went for a walk" people will say.
If you really don't get watched, then hurry up.
Arrived at the three-way intersection, a Jetta car was waiting on the side of the road. Yu Chili rolled down the window and waved at him.
Xu Yu got into the car and left.
"Xu You, I'm hungry, can you invite me to dinner?" When she was about to arrive at the county seat, Wei Chili asked something.
"Originally, you helped me like this, and I should have invited you to dinner to show my gratitude. However, I still have a lot of important things to do. How will you be next time? I'm sorry, Mr. Wei Chi. ”
Yu Chili's face was embarrassed, she was a girl after all, she was rejected directly like this, she felt uncomfortable, and she couldn't hold her face. "yes, you told me when I was in school, I forgot. Well, next time, you'll have to remember. ”
"Sister, if you want to eat, my brother invites you. Go to my restaurant and order whatever you want. The...... Teacher Xu, yes, it's the first time my sister has been rejected so bluntly, you really can. It was Wei Chi Li's cousin Wei Chi Xin who spoke, the car was his, he opened a restaurant in the county seat, and he introduced it when he got in the car.
"Why are you everywhere, don't interject." Yu Chili sprinkled all her grievances on Yu Chixin.
"Sister, you really have no conscience. I drove a hundred kilometers back and forth, and you didn't say a word of thanks, and you still made fun of me. ”
The car stopped next to the gas station, and Xu Yu got out of the car. There was still some distance from Cao Guisheng's house, and Xu You didn't want Yu Chili and them to know where he was going and what he was doing.
Xu You asked for a fried noodles and a bottle of beer at a roadside stall, and ate and drank slowly, he was waiting for dark. Today, unlike in the past, if Cao Guisheng is really killed, then his home will inevitably become the focus of the police search, and there will even be police officers secretly watching. As night falls, the street lights come on. The object was gradually unable to see clearly in the place where the light could not shine, and Xu Yu checked out and left.
In the square downstairs of the dormitory of the Education Bureau, people went downstairs for a walk after eating, and the number of people gradually increased. Xu You walked around the square a few times, but did not find any suspicious characters, before turning to the dormitory building and walking up the stairs.
