As if he was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, Xiao Li added: "When we left, Lao Zhang, the dormitory administrator, knew, you can ask him, I left the morning of the day I asked for leave, and I only came back in the afternoon of the third day." ”

Hearing him say this, I suddenly found that I had overlooked a problem, this tube building belongs to the dormitory building of Dafeng Factory, but everyone who enters and exits will register with the administrator downstairs, and no one has come to ask him in recent days. Thinking of this, I patted the back of my head, waved my hand to let Xiao Li leave, and turned around and walked to the dormitory administrator in the tube building.

"Comrade, I have something to ask you, have any strangers been in and out of this building in the past week?"

The dormitory administrator thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I have it recently, but if there is, it will be registered with me." ”

"Did Du Xianchao go out after asking for leave? Or did you bring any strangers in? ”

"Wait a minute, I'll see." The dormitory administrator flipped through the registration book placed in the window and told us after a while: "Du Xianchao has a total of two records for the last week, one is that he took leave a week ago and returned to the dormitory, and the other is the record he left when he went out to buy things six days ago. I haven't seen him bring a stranger in the past few days, and if he had, I would have been impressed. ”

I asked, "Are you in power 24 hours a day?" Did you hear any unusual sounds five or six days ago? ”

The dormitory administrator shook his head: "That's not, I also have work time, and when the time comes, I will go back to the house to rest, and then go to work again." What is recorded in this book is the entry and exit of personnel during working hours, and it will not be recorded after work. ”

"As for the sound, I really didn't hear it, I'm old, sometimes they come back from work to get tools, I can't hear the knock on the door, and I have to call me through the window to find out."

The dormitory administrator has a bad ear.,Even if there's a voice at the time, I'm afraid I'll hear it.,Thinking of this, I had to say, "What about the registration of this book?" What if someone else sneaks in? ”

The dormitory administrator pointed to the iron door at the staircase: "I pull the iron door when I go to rest and during work, and anyone who wants to come in must call me to open the door." ”

Then this register didn't run, I opened the register and looked at the personnel entry and exit records of the last week, and specially checked the entry and exit records of Xiao Li, Du Xianchao, and Lao Guo during working hours, among which Xiao Li only has two entry and exit records, the first one was seven days ago, and the reason column was written to visit relatives, and the registration time when he came back was in the afternoon three days later, which is consistent with what he said.

And Du Xianchao's entry and exit records are only two, the first is the record of returning to the dormitory seven days ago, and the second is the record left by going out to buy things six days ago.

As for Lao Guo, there is only one record, six days ago, he went back to the dormitory to rest on sick leave, and then did not leave a record, he should have left during normal working hours, and what I found from the personnel department was that he only took two days off. That is, he was the dormitory where the employee left during work hours four days ago.

At this time, the newcomer who had been following me to make notes asked: "Brother Xu, do you say that it is possible that during the off-duty period, the murderer took advantage of the crowd to blend into the dormitory building." ”

The dormitory administrator immediately said: "This is impossible, every time they get off work, I carry a stool and sit at the door to eat, I have been working here for more than ten years, every household in the building does not have a name that I can't name, just take Lao Guo to say, his wife was also working in the factory more than ten years ago, and then fell ill and died, I still remember what his wife's name is." ”

"I see, is Lao Guo at the doorman now?"

The dormitory administrator nodded and said, "It should be, Lao Guo's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he usually won't go anywhere else." ”

Knowing this clue, I took someone to the doorman again, and I met Lao Guo in the duty room. Lao Guo is a little old man in his sixties, lean, his eyes look a little dull, and his spirit is not very good.

"You're Lao Guo, right? We'd like to ask you a few questions, can you? ”

It took three or five seconds for Lao Guo to react, slowly turned his eyes to look at us, and looked at us a few more times before saying, "What did you just say?" I didn't hear you. ”

I had no choice but to repeat it again, and Lao Guo was stunned for a while before saying, "Ask." ”

"I want to ask you if you took leave to go back to the dormitory six days ago, did you hear any unusual sounds in the dormitory building?"

Lao Guo was stunned for a while before he said slowly: "I didn't hear it." ”

It seemed that every word was very difficult for him to speak, and his ears seemed to be as difficult as those of the dormitory manager, and even if there was a sound at the time, he might not be able to hear it.

At this time, the doorman on the side said: "Comrade policeman, Lao Guo's ears are not good, he may not be able to hear what you ask him, he should have retired at this age, but his wife was hit and killed at the door ten years ago, so he came here every day to see, a few days ago here said that he had chest pain and wanted to go back to rest, and his spirit was much worse after he came back, and he should not live for a few years." ”

Hearing such news, I had to nod in disappointment, and it seemed that he could not get any useful news from him.

Some depressed out of the Dafeng factory, I sat on the curb and re-read the whole thing, first of all, Du Xianchao asked for leave seven days ago because of a quarrel with the leader, Lao Guo asked for leave six days ago because of chest tightness, Du Xianchao had gone out of the dormitory once six days ago to buy food, and then did not go out again, and he may have gone out during the break. The dormitory administrators, Lao Zhang and Lao Guo, have bad ears, and even if there is an abnormal noise on the day of the incident, they will not be able to hear it.

The whole case seems to have been cut off in Dafeng Factory, and all the clues have been faulted here, and it seems that Du Xianchao's murder case has little to do with Dafeng Factory.

"Brother Xu, did you say that the people inside the tube building committed the crime? The murderer did not go to work, but stayed in the dormitory to divide the body, and when everyone came back, he returned to his residence as if nothing happened, and when everyone went to work, he followed him to work. ”

As soon as I heard this explanation, it seemed to make some sense, so I said: "There is a slight possibility that if the murderer does not go to work, there should be a record of absenteeism in the factory, and we will check the factory attendance sheet to see if anyone has been absent from work in the past week." ”

When we checked the factory's attendance sheet, we found that no one had been absent from work in the past week, and the attendance sheet was full except for the three people who asked for leave.

The new little comrade scratched his head and said to himself in confusion: "This is not alive, could it be that it is not an internal member who committed the crime?" ”

At this time, I was also a second monk at a loss, but I still pretended to be serious and said: "This is how to solve the case, there has never been smooth sailing, and the fact that no clues were found in Dafeng Factory does not mean that there is no contact here, but that we may not have thought through this time, let's go, go to Lousun Village to see the situation, maybe there will be new discoveries." ”

After finding the location of Lousun Village on the map, we drove to Lousun Village again, because the location was remote and we didn't know the road, it took more than an hour for us to find it.

After getting out of the car, I found that this is the village, it is like after being bombed, there are all kinds of broken walls and ruins in the eyes, and I did not see a single intact house, most of the houses are either collapsed or only the crooked walls remain, and the beams of the houses fall horizontally in the middle of the village road, which has basically been eaten by moths. I tried to stomp on it, but it just missed.

I thought about it for a moment and decided to go into the village and find out what was going on here. So the three of us walked around the village, and in the process of wandering, I found that there were black ashes and traces of burning in some places in the village, so I simply made a bold guess whether the village was on fire, and this fire was not small, and the whole village was burned directly.

Now there is no one in the village at all, so no one comes to tell me what happened. However, there was no one in Lousun Village, and there should be people in several nearby villages, and they should know what was going on, so I drove on the nearby village road to look for villages along the way, and found a village with people within three kilometers.

Pulling an old man who was about to work in the fields, I asked, "Uncle, what's going on in that Lousun Village in front?" How did it get like that? ”

The uncle put down the hoe he was carrying, looked in the direction of Lousun Village and said: "You said that Lousun Village, the feng shui of that village is not good, it is flooded every year, and it will be flooded if it rains in the field. ”

"Actually, it wasn't like this at the beginning, it was the incident of 30 years ago, the four olds, the people of that village broke the dam upstream, so it was flooded every year, and it was really a human sin."

Speaking of this, the uncle's tone was also a little low, as if he remembered some things back then, so I quickly changed the topic and asked, "Then do you know where the people in Lousun Village have gone?" ”

The uncle picked up the hoe, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I heard that they all went to other places, anyway, I didn't hear that they lived in a nearby village." ”

Seeing him like this, it seemed that he was going to go to the field to do farm work, and I couldn't continue to keep others, so I had to say, "Okay, uncle, you go and get busy first." ”

Back in the car, two new comrades asked me what to do now, I suddenly felt a little like laughing, it seems that I was the same when I first went down to the grassroots level last year, I was at a loss when I encountered a case, and I would ask what to do as soon as I broke the clue.

After straightening my face, I said seriously: "Since there are no clues in the village, then go to the township government to ask, maybe they still have files, I tell you, don't have a head to do things, let you do whatever you want, let yourself expand your thinking, take the initiative to find things to do, otherwise you will have a very bad time." ”

After saying that, I drove to the Xiangzheng Mansion again, and after explaining the intention, I wanted to investigate the archives of that year, but the staff who received us refused at first, so we had to find the leaders of the Xiangzheng Mansion, and then led us to the archives and let us look for the relevant information of the year by ourselves.

On the shelf of the village log, we found a record of Lousun Village, turned over the yellowed paper, I saw the words that recorded the events of the past 30 years, and turned it back, and found that the number of pages was very small, only two pages.

It is written above that in 1970, Du Xianchao, a poor peasant, and Xianghui, a lower farmer, established their own illegal regime, clashed head-on with the township government, and captured most of the personnel units, including the transportation bureau, the police station, the industrial and commercial office, etc. And vigorously preach that he is the real Zhengfu, and everything else is fake. And began to criticize and fight against people related to the other party one by one, and after a period of time, the contradictions between the two regimes deepened seriously, and soon they fought each other, and the forces and numbers of the two sides were about the same, so both sides were defeated. In the end, the township government came out to clean up the mess and disarmed the armed men of the two sides.
