At about half past eight o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Ping, Liu Dayu, Chen Jie and Han Lingling, accompanied by Director Wang, walked into the Cui family compound, and the only way to find Yan Baoshan's whereabouts was to find Li Kaiji and his wife.

When everyone walked into the Cui family's compound, a man about forty-five years old was walking towards the gate of the courtyard, shaking a folding fan in his hand, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and humming something in his mouth.

"Captain Ouyang, he is Li Kaiji." Director Wang said in a low voice.

Li Kaiji hummed the tune of Diao Deyi in the Peking Opera "Shajiabang" and paced slowly.

Li Kaiji works in the Baixia District Commercial Bureau, and is still the leader of a department, and his neighbors call him Chief Li. Li Kaiji wears a short-sleeved blue vertical striped shirt on a white background, the buttons of the shirt are not buttoned, and the chest is black and full of hair, and he wears a pair of over-the-knee shorts on his lower body, a pair of white stockings and a pair of black leather sandals on his feet.

"Isn't this Director Wang?" Li Kaiji saw Director Wang.

"Chief Li, what's the matter, go out for a walk?" Director Wang responded.

"Yes! It's hot and stuffy, so I go out into the streets. ”

"Chief Li, please stay."

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes, this is Captain Ouyang of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and they want to find out a little bit about the situation."

"You must have come here for the case in the Chen family's compound, please - please come into the house and sit down and talk slowly."

Chief Li turned around and led Ouyang Ping and his party of five into a wing room with the door facing east.

A woman stood at the door of the wing room and opened the door completely, this woman was Yan Amei. Yan Amei wore a dress, and her hair was coiled on the top of her head, as if she had just taken a shower.

"Don't be stunned, go make a few cups of tea, West Lake Longjing, brew a little stronger." Li Kaiji led the comrades to the chairs and pulled out the cigarettes from the cigarette case. Liu Dayu and Chen Jie took the cigarette, and Li Kaiji pressed the lighter again.

There was a standing electric fan in front of the coffee table, and Li Kaiji pressed the shaking switch, and the electric fan shook its head.

The weather is indeed very hot, and people stay in the house, and their hearts are indeed a little stuffy. When the electric fan is facing you, you can feel a little wind, and even the wind carries a little heat.

Li Kaiji was very enthusiastic, he found a few pu fans and handed them to the comrades one by one, because there was one missing, he simply stuffed the folding fan in his hand to Director Wang -- Director Wang did not take it.

After everyone sat down, Yan Amei's teacup was also delivered.

"Sister-in-law, sit down too, we also want to ask you some questions."

Li Kaiji waved at his wife and motioned for her to sit down.

The light in the room was relatively dim, so it was not clear to see the couple's expressions, but they could feel their enthusiasm - especially the enthusiasm of Li Kaiji.

After a period of silence, Li Kaiji spoke first: "Comrade Public Security, ask whatever you want!" As long as we know everything, we must know everything, and we must say everything. ”

"Chief Li, the situation is like this, we heard that your lover's cousin Yan Baoshan once lived here for a while."

"Not bad! He, Yan Baoshan, lived in my house for a while. What's wrong? ”

"Is Yan Baoshan related to you?"

"He's my cousin." Yan Amei said.

"When did he come to your house?"

"In 1992, Kaiji, did I say right?"

"Yes, it's 1992."

"When did he leave your house?"

"I left last year." Yan Amei said a vague time.

"When did you leave last year?"

"It's last year—" Yan Amei looked at Li Kaiji, and then continued, "It was last year when it was almost hot." ”

"Yes, yes, it was last year when it was very hot."

The husband and wife sang and harmonized, talking about a relatively vague time, "when the weather is almost hot", which can be late May, late June and mid-June, and the reason why the couple did not say the specific time was that they did not want to have anything to do with the case in the Chen family compound. ”

Since the couple was reluctant to say the specific time, Ouyang Ping had to say: "Is it early August?" ”

"And- maybe! Probably! We don't remember exactly when. Li Kaiji said. Although his language was not very fluent, his thinking was still very clear - he didn't want to give Ouyang Ping an accurate message.

"What kind of business does Yan Baoshan do?"

"What kind of business, what kind of business is he doing! It's nothing more than being poor. If he really does any business, can he come to my house and settle down? ”

Li Kaiji obviously didn't want to link Yan Baoshan's bizarre disappearance with the murder case for money, who would kill a poor ghost?

"What kind of business does Yan Baoshan do?"

"Tinkering with some jade and other things, this is what he said, but we husband and wife, I didn't see any jade in his hands."

"As far as we know, in Xie Juren Lane, someone bought jade from Yan Baoshan's hands, and we also heard that when Yan Baoshan came to your house to settle down, he once gave you and your wife a piece of jade."

"There's such a thing -- what kind of jade is it, wife, you take out the things and show them to the public security comrades." Li Kaiji said as he glanced at his wife.

Yan Amei stood up and walked upstairs.

"Actually, it's not worth a few dollars, and if it's worth it, will he give it to us?"

Li Kaiji avoided the fact that Yan Amei had shown two pieces of jade to someone who knew how to do it, and both of them were valuable things.

Yan Amei came upstairs "pedaling". She walked up to Ouyang Ping and handed Ouyang Ping two pieces of jade: a jade pendant and a bracelet.

Ouyang Ping doesn't understand jade, and others don't understand jade, in the eyes of Ouyang Ping and his comrades, these two pieces of jade are indeed very ordinary.

"Chief Li, can we borrow these two pieces of jade?"

"This—" Li Kaiji was a little unhappy.

"We'll give it back when we're done."

Li Kaiji smiled bitterly.

"When Yan Baoshan left, did he tell you where he was going?" Director Wang said.
