Chapter 13: The Mysterious Third Man

"Okay, listen to you, wait for us to get back to Yangcheng and ask Xiaochao what he means. But let me tell you, sometimes it's important for girls to take the initiative. Happiness is in your own hands. ”

Zhang Lanshan's words made waves in Ye Lili's heart: "Brother Chao, will he like me." He's so handsome, and he's so good. My feelings about him seem to be a little different, maybe this is love. ”

On the other hand, in the car to the provincial capital of Qingze City, Jiang Chonglang said to Han Yuchao: "Xiaochao, I said what do you think. If it weren't for your sister Lan Shan telling me, I would have thought you had been captured by aliens. How many times have I told you, you just have a good leg injury, and you run around, in case you don't recover well, be careful that you will be crippled in the second half of your life, and I won't serve you at that time. ”

"Okay, okay, Brother Chong, I know, don't say it, it's important for us to investigate the case, right." Seeing that Jiang Chonglang was grinding again, Han Yuchao hurriedly begged for mercy.

"You, you, get me in trouble everywhere. It's July and August, the hottest weather of the year, and I'm still running around under the scorching sun. Are you right about me? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll definitely repay you when the time comes. But Brother Chong, do you remember? I came to the police force in July and August last year, and Sister Lan Shan, and the first case I handled at that time was a heavy corpse shredding case. Hey, time flies. We've been working together for over a year. ”

This sentence reminded Jiang Chonglang: "Yes, I have known you Sister Lan Shan for a year. Do you think I should take advantage of this time to surprise her with a big surprise? Xiaochao, what do you say I should do, ask her for a candlelit dinner, or send her roses for 10 to 20 days in a row, or take her to the beach for a few days when the work is over? ”

"These three are quite romantic, you can decide which one you choose. However, the first anniversary of acquaintance is a very important day, Brother Chong, you have to work hard, maybe Sister Lan Shan will be moved, and she will decide to give you a monkey on the spot. ”

", don't talk nonsense, it's still early. But Xiaochao, I see that you care so much about the divorce, do you like her? If it's true, let's chase it. ”

Saying that, Jiang Chonglang lowered his voice and said: "Do you know, there is another advantage of chasing away, that is, there is no mother-in-law. Do you know, your sister Lan Shan passed my photo to her mother, my future mother-in-law actually said that looking at my face, she doesn't look like a good person, let your sister Lan Shan don't worry, come and see me in person after a while, you said it made me feel up. ”

"Brother Chong, look at whether you have shaved in the past few days, your face is full of stubble. I really don't want to be a good person, the next time Sister Lan Shan sends a photo to her mother, you ask her to use the beauty camera to retouch the picture for you, and strive to make a mixture of Tony Leung and Andy Lau, maybe these two are fans of Sister Lan Shan's mother, and they will like you at a glance. ”

"Alright, you know to give me a bad idea. Don't worry, your sister Lan Shan and I will definitely go on forever. It's you, Xiaochao. You don't have a girlfriend yet, how do you feel about separation, I see that you are so concerned about her affairs, you almost lost your life for her, do you like her. ”

Han Yuchao was stunned for a while, and thought for a while before saying, "Brother Chong, Lili and I are really good friends. I see that she is a girl, and it is not easy to work alone in a foreign land, I pity her and admire her. There really isn't much else, we're just colleagues, brother and sister, good friends. ”

"Really, you didn't lie to me." Jiang Chonglang obviously didn't believe it.

"Really, Brother Chong, I didn't lie to you, what else can escape your eyes."

Officer Hu Ding next to him also smiled: "Yes, young man, such a beautiful girl, you should go after it." Don't be cheap. ”

The three of them talked and laughed all the way to the Provincial Welfare Lottery Center in Qingze City, the provincial capital. A staff member was found, and this staff member is said to have been working here for almost 20 years. Basically, when the lottery was first issued, he was already working here.

"Hello, we are police officers from Zhusu Town, and I would like to ask you to help check the award record in August 98, because this is related to a murder and arson case 16 years ago." Hu Ding stepped forward and explained his intentions.

One staff member said, "Oops, 16-year-old record, I'll try it." It stands to reason that there should still be, but after all, it's old and it's hard to find. ”

Saying that, the staff member turned on the computer and searched carefully on it for a while: "In August 98, I found it, here." ”

"Back then, we had two draws a week, Tuesday and Saturday every week. Before August 11, 98, it should have been a lottery on August 7. According to the regulations, if the lottery player wins more than 10,000 yuan, he must bring his ID card and come to us to keep the bottom to receive the prize. You said that they won about 800,000 yuan, and according to the prize setting at the time, it should be the first prize. The grand prize is 2 million. I checked, and the name of the recipient is Jiang Xufang, which is his ID number. ”

Sure enough, Ye Zhibin bought the lottery ticket that year, but was finally taken away by Jiang Xufang. According to Jiang Xufang's identity card number, he was about the same age as Ye Zhibin back then, and he should be in his 30s.

In the computer, there are photos of Jiang Xufang when he received the award, but there were two people who came to receive the award, and the two people held a big check and covered their faces. Although it was summer, the two of them were dressed in the same outfit as all lottery winners — eager to wrap themselves in a rice dumpling, revealing their eyes and hands.

In the photo, although the faces of the two people are not clear, their hands are holding checks and showing them. Jiang Chonglang leaned his face close to the screen and observed carefully: "Although the faces of these two people are not revealed, you can see their hands." You said that Jiang Xufang does rough work all year round, so his hands should be rougher, and the hands of the person on the left look rougher than those on the right. So the person on the left may be Jiang Xufang. ”

"But Brother Chong, you see, the color of the man's hand on the right is not normal, it looks a little black, is it just finished digging coal?" Han Yuchao also found something suspicious.

"This should have been burned by chemical fertilizer, look at his hands, it should be caused by long-term exposure to chemical fertilizer. Who is this person, will it be the murderer? ”

"Maybe, it seems that it is not only Lin Daohan and Jiang Xufang who are involved in this case, but also this third person, and this third person is the murderer."
