How could Zhao Ming not see that Su Tingting was still angry, so he had no choice but to directly show the newspaper he was holding in his hand, "Don't you want to find out where the reporter who wrote this article got the information from?" There may be surprises. ”

Unexpectedly, hearing this, Su Tingting's eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you also think that it is possible that the murderer disclosed the information to the newspaper?" ”

The words entered his ears, and Zhao Ming had to look at Su Tingting again, and he secretly said, "It seems that the team leader really has no nonsense." ’

The size of the city can only be described as a second-tier city in terms of the size of the country. This basic condition is restricted, resulting in a total of three newspapers in the city, and the one that Zhao Ming and the others are about to visit at this moment is the largest of them.

It makes sense to think about it, because if it was really the information that the murderer provided to the newspaper, the largest one would always be the best choice.

Because they were wearing police uniforms, Zhao Ming and the others did not rush into the newspaper office, they waited on the chairs in the hall. Naturally, just the existence of these two police uniforms, they have already attracted too many unnecessary eyes. Even the little girl at the front desk looked a little scared.

The internal phone called, and after the little girl answered, she walked towards Zhao Ming and the others, "Two police officers, I will take you to the conference room, and the editor-in-chief will be waiting for you there." ”

The editor-in-chief is an elderly middle-aged man, round and chubby, who looks quite kind and behaves very politely. After getting to know each other briefly, the three of them sat down.

Zhao Ming quickly clarified his intentions, and he put the newspaper he brought in front of the editor-in-chief Liu Hong, "The two of us are here mainly about this report. ”

Liu Hong took the newspaper, and he was wearing thick-rimmed glasses, and after a quick scan, he put it down again, "May I ask Officer Zhao, is there anything wrong with this report?" ”

This visit to the newspaper office can only be said to be a request for cooperation in nature. Zhao Ming had no reason to force Liu Hong, or the editor he hadn't met yet, to confess anything.

"We want to know the details about the victims in this report and how you got them." Zhao Ming said as politely as possible, "Because I was at the scene yesterday, I didn't see any reporters, and I checked in the bureau this morning, and no one revealed the information." ”

Liu Hong raised his head and helped the thick-rimmed glasses, the eyes hidden behind the lenses seemed to reveal an eerie and sharp light.

"Officer Zhao, and Officer Su. In times like these, there are many sources of information, and in many cases, it is no longer necessary for journalists to be there in a timely manner. Liu Hong said with a smile.

'Smiling Tiger. Zhao Ming secretly commented on the middle-aged man in front of him in his heart.

"In addition, our newspaper has the obligation to protect the source of information on the premise of not breaking the law. As a medium, what we want to do with this newspaper is to let more people know about the big and small things that happen every day in the city, and the two police officers said that is not the truth. ”

Liu Hong's meaning when he said this was already obvious, and he was not willing to cooperate.

Zhao Ming looked at Liu Hong with a smile, and after thinking for a while, Zhao Ming asked, "There is no doubt that newspapers are a medium for people to know big and small things, but as you said, in this era, not every article you report has been confirmed. ”

Zhao Ming seized the opportunity, and there was already a slight hint of criticism in his words, "Take this homicide report as an example, you are only responsible for the report, but have you ever thought about what if the source of your information is the murderer?" Is it possible that the killer took advantage of your newspaper? ”

As the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, Liu Hong already had an angry look on his face when he heard this. But he held back, "So the two officers think the killer provided this information to our newspaper?" ”

"That's one of the possibilities." Zhao Ming responded, this Liu Hong's difficulty had already made him a little annoyed. "As I said at the beginning, I just want you to cooperate with your work this time, so that we can catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that no one else will be killed."

Liu Hong is very difficult to entangle, but fortunately, he still has a little conscience.

It's just that Liu Hong's concept is obviously different from Zhao Ming. No, even if he had already picked up the phone and was dialing, Liu Hong continued, "Every part of society is a division of labor and cooperation, we are just a medium, we can't and won't think about whether the murderer provided us with the news, that's not our responsibility." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ming just wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it.

About five minutes later, a young man who looked to be at most twenty-seven or eighteen years old, probably less than thirty, and had some personality, walked into the conference room.

"This Qin Wei is the editor who wrote that article, and the two police officers can ask him directly if they want to ask." Liu Hong briefly introduced.

Although Qin Wei had only entered the house for a short time, Zhao Ming had already clearly felt this person's composure, and the kind of ....... he showed seemed to be rebellion against authority, or could it be said to be rebellion?

Zhao Ming has been doing this job for too long, although he doesn't dare to say how vicious his vision is, but at least he still has basic eyesight, and to be honest, people like Qin Wei are not very special, there are really a lot of such people in recent years.

Sure enough, in the face of inquiry, Qin Wei didn't immediately say anything about freedom of speech, he was smarter and insisted that he didn't know.

"I don't know who gave me the information, I just came back from lunch yesterday and saw a document on my desk."

Is Qin Wei telling the truth? Zhao Ming secretly shook his head in his heart. He looked at Su Tingting who was sitting next to him, Su Tingting didn't say a word the whole time, only occasionally wrote something into the small notebook.

Asking about any useful information, Zhao Ming got up and planned to leave, but before leaving, Zhao Ming still couldn't help but stop and say to Liu Hong, "The newspaper is the people's newspaper, should it have a certain sense of social responsibility?" ”

On the way back, Su Tingting, who had been silent, opened her mouth, and she seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness of the morning. Of course, it could also be that she was so focused that she didn't have time to think about it for a while.

"Do you think Qin Wei is lying?" Su Tingting asked.

Zhao Ming nodded, "Well, it's possible that Liu Hong knows." ”

"But I don't know why, the kind of people they have no reason to hide such a thing. We also said that the person who gave them the information might be the murderer, but I noticed that the expressions of the two of them seemed to be calm. ”

It turned out that she had been observing these things. Zhao Ming thought about it, and couldn't help but glance at Su Tingting again.

Shen Bin's office, "So you ran for nothing," Shen Bin said after listening to the report.

"It's not in vain, the reactions and attitudes of editor-in-chief Liu Hong and reporter Qin Wei are very revealing. I think they should know something. Zhao Ming defended slightly.

"But now there is no evidence, and the newspaper can only take it as a clue. Next, you should focus on the victim Tang Ke and find out what happened to him. Shen Bin concluded, "By the way, I saw the report that the victim likes to gamble and has no job, and I found those people who often gamble with him, and those people may know some information." ”

The question of Tang Ke's gambling funds was raised by Su Tingting, which is a good starting point and is worth pursuing immediately. But not now, the point now is: the test report is out!
