We waited here for nearly an hour before Officer Qi arrived, he came on his own, with no tools in his hand, still wearing the police uniform, his trouser legs were still frozen into ice lumps.

After Officer Qi came, he drove all the onlookers away, closed the door, and then came into Grandma Li's house to check the scene, and saw that the victim was lying on the ground, with only a scar on the back of his head, and the preliminary judgment was that he killed him. A blunt object is used to hit the victim in the back of the head, resulting in the victim's death.

Officer Qi checked the other rooms of Grandma Li's house, and found no murder weapon, a window on the balcony was open, and since there were no professional tools to detect fingerprints and footprints, Officer Qi checked around and asked us to close the window. Officer Qi asked us again, what is missing at home? I looked at what we had given Grandma Li, and there was only one charcoal stove left next to the sofa.

"There was probably a big piece of pork, and some rice and charcoal. I don't know anything else. ”

"When I first came, I saw that the door was open."

"That's what I just pushed away, just to see if an outsider entered the unit to commit a crime." Jiang Zhi explained beside him.

Officer Qi nodded after hearing this, and continued: "The window on the balcony is open, but I saw that there are no footprints underneath just now, and it hasn't snowed today, if there are footprints, it won't be covered up so quickly, so it should be deliberately opened by the criminal in order to confuse everyone, so it is ruled out that it was an outsider who committed the crime." Officer Qi looked at us as he spoke, and continued: "It should be an acquaintance who committed the crime, and only the victim of an acquaintance will let down his vigilance." Only by putting the murderer in the home can the victim be killed in the middle of the living room. ”

"As for the motive for the crime, the preliminary judgment is that it should have been caused by the food." Officer Qi finished speaking and looked at us again.

My heart hurts as Officer Qi says. Although through our analysis, we also guessed that the neighbor did it, but when I heard Officer Qi say that the cause was those materials, I still couldn't avoid thinking that I indirectly killed Grandma Li, if I hadn't been nosy. Bringing so much food to Grandma Li, maybe Grandma Li will be fine.

Jiang Zhi saw the self-blame in my heart and said, "Don't think about it. It's not your fault. ”

Then he turned to Officer Qi and asked, "What should we do now?" ”

Officer Qi looked at the gate and said, "Now you lock this room first." Let's go upstairs and talk. ”

Jiang Zhi and I both saw that Officer Qi still had something to say to us, so we put Grandma Li's body away. Wait until it is confirmed before further processing. We locked the door and went back upstairs together.

When I got back to my house, I didn't hear the cries of the children, and they should have calmed down in the bedroom.

Dad Jiang heard the door open and walked out of the bedroom, knowing that I was worried about the children, so he whispered to me, "The children are tired of crying and are asleep in the bedroom." ”

I know the kids are okay and feel a lot more at ease.

I poured Officer Qi a cup of hot water. I wanted to sit on the couch and listen to what Officer Qi had to say. Jiang Zhi asked me to make some food for Officer Qi first. Officer Qi didn't refuse, so I didn't say anything else, I heated half a pot of haggis soup for him on the stove, sat on a curtain on the pot, and put a few big steamed buns on it.

When the meal was hot, Officer Qi began to say: "This case should be done by the people in your unit, at least the participants." ”

Jiang Zhi and I didn't squeak because we didn't know what to say.

Officer Qi said: "There are a few people who are watching just now who have wrong eyes. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Who are they?" ”

Officer Qi thought for a while, "There is a young man wearing a black down jacket with a furry collar, not too tall, more than 170 centimeters, with a long face and small eyes......"

Before Officer Qi could finish describing, I shouted, "I know, he is on the first floor of our house, and he lives opposite Grandma Li's house." ”

Jiang Zhi also remembered him: "Well, it seems to be a civil servant, a young man who is usually very good at doing things." ”

Officer Qi continued: "There is also a middle-aged man, also a black down jacket, about 175 cm tall, with a round face, long and thick eyebrows, just now I saw a middle-aged woman always glancing at him, his expression is not very natural. ”

Jiang Zhi said: "This is a resident on the third floor, surnamed Li, who seems to be called Li Mingjun, who rented a stall in the market in front of our house to sell spices. Next to him should be Aunt Liu at the door of his house. ”

Officer Qi saw that Jiang Zhi had already matched the number, so he continued: "There are also two women, one is a purple down jacket, in her 40s, and she is a little fat, and the other is a young woman who wears a red down jacket......

As soon as I heard the colors of these two down jackets, I knew who Officer Qi was talking about, "I know, it's the mother and daughter of the Zhang family upstairs in our house, and it was their son who stole from our house a month ago." ”

"Well, you just know who it is, pay more attention in the future, but it's just that they are suspicious, it's not that other people can't be murderers."

I listened to Officer Qi's meaning, how can it be like this murder is like this, if we want to find the murderer, let us find it ourselves. No, he's a policeman.

"Officer Qi, since you are suspicious of those people, should you ask them for questions and understand the situation?"

Officer Qi smiled after hearing my words, "I can't be considered a police officer now, so I can only help you so much." ”

This news is too shocking, why aren't you a policeman, didn't you come as soon as you reported the case, and you are still wearing a police uniform.

Jiang Zhi also frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Zhi also felt that there must be some reason for this matter, and it was impossible for the police to suddenly stop doing it.

Officer Qi said with some sadness: "Now the police force in City D is seriously insufficient. Many of the police officers at the grassroots level have resigned and gone home. ”

"Why?"

Officer Qi looked at the pot sitting on the stove, "What else, for food." Since the snow disaster in our city, there are not many people in the entire D city who are still sticking to their jobs. The police are also human beings, and they also have family members to eat. Now with money, there is no place to buy food, so you can only barter with people. The police spend all their time maintaining law and order, when others go to the supermarket to buy food, we are maintaining order, when others are cutting down trees, we are catching thieves, we don't care about ourselves, but our families are also cold and starving with us, we are too incompetent as sons, husbands, and fathers.

Two days ago, a colleague from our police station worked for several days in a row, and when he came home from work, he found that his old father had frozen to death at home for several days. ”

Officer Qi was very excited, and we were very worried when we listened.

Officer Qi wiped his face with his hand, and then said: "So, some colleagues want to resign, and want to find a place outside to cut down some trees, exchange some rice and charcoal, and I don't know when the weather will get better." But the top didn't let go, saying that now that there are few police, there will be no one to maintain law and order if we go to this area again, but everyone has already decided, let's take care of the small family first. We're all going home, so now we should be considered absenteeism for no reason, and we can still wear this skin to scare people, but we can't investigate the case. ”

Officer Qi explained why he couldn't help us investigate the case, looked at us and said, "That's right, it's better to prepare more supplies than anything else, just to understand that the word "wealth is not exposed" is very reasonable." He said, gesturing to the charcoal stove next to the sofa and the pot on top of it.

"Is there no police at that police station in our area anymore?" I thought about the fact that I called the police station today and no one answered, so I asked.

"No one else, all home. However, there are still some policemen in our D city who take care of everyone's small home, ha~ha~, our consciousness is not high enough. Officer Qi laughed a few times to himself as he spoke, and then fell silent again.

"Then no one cares about the murder that happened downstairs, right?" Jiang Zhi asked.

"Why doesn't anyone care, didn't I come in a police uniform?" Officer Qi patted his police uniform and said.

We know the importance of this news, and now everyone doesn't know that the police station is a virtual reality, so some criminals have some ideas that are just ideas, if everyone knows that the police station is empty, then will there be a stop in the future?

Jiang Zhi sank for a while and then said, "Officer Qi, thank you, you can come, whether you can solve the case or not, you are helping me and helping us in this building." ”

I was stunned for a moment when I heard Jiang Zhi say this, and then I figured it out. We don't stop in this building, otherwise Grandma Li wouldn't have died today, Officer Qi came today, just to give the criminals a deterrent effect, but I don't know how much of a role it can have, and how long it will work.

"Today's case, it is basically certain that an acquaintance did it, but there is no way to find him out now, so you must pay attention in the future, your family is now a fat sheep in the eyes of others." Officer Qi reminded us.

Yes, thanks to my gluttony, our family has wafted out the smell of meat several times, and the Zhang family upstairs also knew that our family had meat to eat when they came, although we also explained, but I don't know if people believe it or not. There is also the matter of us helping Grandma Li, everyone in this unit should know about it, and everyone should think that our family has a lot of supplies, and if we can't eat enough, we won't help others.

I regret it a little now, I still did things too rashly and thoughtlessly.

"We'll pay attention to it later, what about our neighbor's body, it can't be put in the house." Jiang Zhi said considering the current situation downstairs.

"Now there is no fuel in the crematorium, so if there are dead people, put them in the morgue first, and they will not be afraid of bad weather when the weather is so cold, and then incinerate them when the disaster has passed." Officer Qi said how to deal with the dead now. "But ......"

Officer Qi stopped halfway through his words. (To be continued.) )
