I silently wrote down these things, and it seems that there has been a turning point in the case here, and the change in the Starck bookstore is very coincidental, just at the point where the case occurred, which must not be doubted.

Then I briefly asked some ordinary fire safety questions, which distracted the shopkeeper, and finally I asked about the current situation of the Starck bookstore owner, and when the information was almost recorded, Sun Jianguo walked out of the back kitchen.

I stood up and gave him the notebook in my hand, and gave him a vague look: "Vice captain, I've finished asking, here is some information I got." ”

Sun Jianguo swept his eyes expressionlessly, pretended to point to the back kitchen and said: "Your store should pay attention to fire safety issues, don't have moths at that time, I just went to the back kitchen and took a turn, and found that things were a little messy, go back and clean up." ”

"I'm going to let people clean it up and promise to rectify it immediately."

When Sun Jianguo heard this, he beckoned me to go out, and when I arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said: "We are here today mainly to check the health and fire safety issues, and tomorrow we will conduct a surprise inspection, don't talk nonsense about this." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

When I was far away, I asked inexplicably: "Deputy captain, can he not tell others about this kind of surprise inspection?" They are all neighbors, and they usually look up and don't look down, and they must ventilate each other when there is something. ”

Sun Jianguo looked back with a little meaning: "I just asked him to ventilate, today the two of us came out in police uniforms to investigate, and we have already been seen by many people, if there is no legitimate reason, it is inevitable that others will suspect it, and when the time comes, it will be rumored to be a fire inspection, so as to dispel the scruples of the little murderer." And the fire department will go to the store to check, if the murderer is really the owner of the bookstore, he will definitely scramble to clean up the evidence, I just want him to show his feet. ”

"Wait, in two hours the people on this street will know, and we'll go to Stark's bookstore to see what's going on."

Saying this, Sun Jianguo took out the notebook I recorded again, looked through it carefully, and saw that the brows behind him were almost twisted into a word.

"I think the owner of this Starkey bookstore is very suspicious, the victim Liu Shuqian said that he went to the bookstore before he disappeared, and Songhai University is only three or four hundred meters away from here, which is not very far. Hmm, I have to ask about Lao Li's situation. ”

"Xiao Xu, you go and call Lao Li to ask Lao Li, have you investigated which bookstore Liu Shuqian often goes to?"

I answered the call and walked to the phone booth and dialed Li Jun's number, first explained the situation here, and finally told Sun Jianguo about his questions.

There was a loud sound of turning pages on the other end of the phone, and Li Jun finally said: "It should be the bookstore you said, Starkey Bookstore, our investigators have just found a number of books stamped with the seal of 'Starkey Books' among the victim's relics." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for Team Lee."

"It's all for the case, there's nothing troublesome or troublesome. By the way, if you and Lao Sun have a new situation, notify me immediately, and if the situation is critical, you can directly ask the police in the jurisdiction to cooperate. ”

After hanging up the phone, I found Sun Jianguo and told him the clues he got, only to see him take out another cigarette, light it and take a deep breath: "Now there are more suspects, it's really hurting my head." ”

"Another one? Vice-Captain, which else? I asked, confused.

Sun Jianguo glared at me angrily: "Who else do you say?" It's the two we caught last night. ”

"Aren't those two suspicious? The charges were placenta trafficking and reselling medical supplies. ”

Sun Jianguo thought for a while and asked: "How can it be so simple, think about it, one is the crime of rape, murder and dismemberment." The other is the crime of reselling medical supplies, which of these two crimes is bigger? ”

I said as a matter of course: "It must be that rape and murder are more crimes, and if you are caught, you will definitely be shot." ”

Sun Jianguo patted me on the shoulder: "That's not it, he was sentenced to more than three years and less than ten years in prison for reselling national cultural relics. I read the confession last night, the value of the medical supplies resold by Guo Chao does not exceed 1,000 yuan, according to the sentencing standard for theft, it will only take two or three years at most, and the final fine will be over. ”

"The gap is wider, and normal people will admit that they have stolen, but not that they have committed murder."

Hearing this, I shuddered, if this is really the case, after Guo Chao had a murder plan, I am afraid that he would have formulated a way to deal with it after being found by the police, and this method is undoubtedly perfect, completely clearing his suspicion, and there is no place safer than prison.

Sun Jianguo saw my expression and said tacitly: "Now you understand why I still doubt that kid, right?" Learn a little, you still have a long way to go, this case has just been a bit tricky, and you can learn a lot. ”

"Let's go, let's go to Starck's bookstore to meet that kid for a while, I think it's a snake and a ghost."

Following the general direction pointed out by the owner of the restaurant, I soon found the Starck bookstore on Songhua Street, and the bookstore was decorated in a kind of Hui style, which was very quaint. Walking to the store, more than a dozen bookshelves were neatly placed in the store, and when I walked to one of the bookshelves, I saw that it was clean, without a trace of dust, and there were no water stains left by wiping. Although I have never met the shopkeeper, I have a general impression of the owner's personality, and a person who can do things so meticulously must be a meticulous person in life, and may even have cleanliness or obsessive-compulsive disorder.

At Sun Jianguo's suggestion, we didn't immediately find the shopkeeper, but walked around the bookstore, pretending to be inspected. In order to pretend to be a little more like, I also picked up the fire extinguisher and looked at it.

While walking around the store, a thin man wearing glasses walked over and smiled shyly: "Two police comrades, I am Zhang Hanyang, the manager of Stark Bookstore, may I ask if you are here?" ”

I put down the fire extinguisher in my hand and glanced at him: "Oh, we are here to check fire safety, it is summer, and it is very easy to cause fires, so the bureau sent us to the city to conduct a surprise inspection." ”

"Boss Zhang, your fire extinguisher has failed, hurry up and replace it."

"Okay, okay, I'll buy a new one later."

I had to do everything to make a play, I wrote it down in my notebook and continued to check it in the store, Zhang Hanyang followed resignedly, I glanced sideways, how could I not associate such a person with the murderer who killed and dismembered the body. However, when I think of what senior sister Liu Yefang said, the heart is divided into belly, and perhaps the more inconspicuous the person, the more likely it is to commit the case.

When I walked to the back room, Sun Jianguo suddenly squatted on the ground, saw my puzzled expression, held my ankle and said to me in some pain: "You go to check first, my old injury has recurred, my foot was injured before, and now it often hurts from time to time." ”

I hurriedly walked over to him and squatted down: "Is it a big problem?" If you really can't do it, go to the hospital first, and I'll do it here. ”

"Small problems, I've been used to it for a long time." Sun Jianguo shook his head and said, and at the same time glanced at me vaguely.

I suddenly understood what he meant, glanced at Zhang Hanyang behind me, stood up and said, "Boss Zhang, our captain is a little unwell, you can take me to see the inspection later." ”

"Okay, okay, the back is where I live and eat, and there's no flammable or anything like that." Zhang Hanyang stepped forward and opened the back door, and behind him was a small room, in which most of the books in the room were neatly arranged, and the rest of the place was set up with a bed and a table for eating.

I walked closer and looked over, but I didn't find anything suspicious, I looked back, and suddenly found that Zhang Hanyang was looking back at the front room, thinking that the deputy captain might be checking something in the front room, so I slapped him coldly, Zhang Hanyang turned his head sharply, looked at me embarrassedly and didn't speak.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhang Hanyang explained hesitantly: "I ...... I was just looking to see if there were any guests coming to the front room, and your captain didn't know the price......"

I interrupted his explanation, and the more he did this, the more my suspicions deepened, and in order to delay the vice-captain, I pointed to the situation in the room and said, "Okay, okay, if someone else, my captain will call you over, you have so many books piled up here, it is not appropriate for you to put two bottles of fire extinguishers here, and where is the water source in your store?" Why didn't I see it after looking around? ”

"Here, the door opens inside the bathroom, and there is a yard behind it, which is a place for cooking."

Zhang Hanyang hurriedly stepped forward to open the two doors, I slowly followed up and took a look, the yard is about the same size as the back house, there are a few grapevines planted in it, the sky in the yard is covered tightly, and now it is quite cool at noon. In addition, I saw cooking utensils such as gas stoves placed under the canopy.

Closing the door, I went to the bathroom, in order not to arouse Zhang Hanyang's suspicion, I simply looked at it and came out of it, and said while recording on the paper: "You have to pull a ten-meter pipe in the back room, and you have to prepare three or five buckets, in case of fire, you can save yourself in time, I see that the decoration of the bookstore is basically wood, which is very easy to cause fire." ”

Zhang Hanyang nodded busily: "Okay, I'll buy it later, is there anything else that the police comrades should pay attention to?" ”

I tilted my head and asked him suspiciously, "What's the matter?" You don't seem to welcome me to check it out? ”

"How can there be, no, I thank you that it's too late, how could it not be welcome."

"That's good, there's ......" I just wanted to continue to argue with him to delay the time for the deputy captain, when I heard Sun Jianguo's voice from the front room.

"Boss Zhang, someone is coming to the store, you hurry up."

Zhang Hanyang looked at me embarrassedly, I motioned for him to go, since Sun Jianguo shouted, he must have finished the inspection, and it would be okay to let him go now.
